12/19/14 A Letter to Judge Valentic Regarding the Verdict to Brankica Crosetti
Municipal Criminal Court in Zagreb
FAO Ms. Rahela Valentic, judge
Ilica 207 (Selska)
Dear Judge Valentic,
We are writing to you regarding your verdict in Brankica Crosetti's case. Ms Crosetti killed 46 dogs over the course of seven hours by injecting them with the deadly solution, T61. For this crime, you gave her an unacceptable seven months suspended sentence.
The Criminal Law states that a person who kills an animal without a valid reason can be punished with a prison sentence of up to one year. It is discouraging that you only gave Ms Crosetti a suspended sentence for the premeditated murder of 46 dogs. This mild verdict is devastating because you are sending a message to animal abusers and murderers that they will not go to prison for torturing and killing animals, especially if the perpetrator appears to be "of diminished responsibility" during the act of murder.
The Animal Protection Act forbids giving animals food or substances that causes pain, suffering, injuries, fear or death (Article 4, paragraph 2, item 14). Article 9 forbids killing animals except in extremely difficult cases such as, for example, if an animal is sick with an incurable illness, is in a lot of pain that cannot be relieved, if his/her basic life functions have stopped due to old age, among other similar circumstances. The owner of the animal can then, based on a veterinarian’s opinion, decide to have the animal put to sleep, which can only be done by "a vet or an expertly trained veterinary technician under the supervision of a vet."
From the facts stated above, it seems that in such cases the reasons to kill an animal only include the following: if the animal has a deadly disease, if the animal is suffering, or if the animal is a danger to others. An individual cannot kill an animal as they please or call a vet or a veterinary technician to do this for them, as it would seem from your statement. Brankica Crosetti consciously murdered 46 healthy dogs who were not a danger to anyone. For giving animals substances that cause them pain, suffering, injury, fear or death and for murdering animals, the Act prescribes a monetary fine from 50,000 HRK to 100,000 HRK for a legal entity and 10,000 HRK to 15,000 HRK for person responsible within the legal entity and for an individual.
The fact that you freed Nenad Dekanic who supplied Brankica Crosetti with the poison clearly illustrates the state of animal protection in Croatia. It is perplexing that Mr Dekanic was not aware that Ms Crosetti would use the substance T61 to end the dogs' lives considering that he gave an unlicensed individual a large amount of this deadly substance.
Healthy animals can only be put to sleep by a vet from a registered abandoned animal shelter after 60 days have passed and after the shelter has fulfilled other conditions such as veterinary care and adoption advertising or if there is no more room at the shelter to house the animal. The Act does not force shelters to do this, but it does unfortunately give them this option. This is yet another example of why it is important to remove this killing license.
With Ms Crosetti's case, you sent a message to the public essentially saying that it is okay to kill a dog (even a large number of dogs), even though this happens every day anyway and that it is very rare that an individual is convicted of committing this crime. Please ask yourself if you have served as a good example of the justice system by dealing out the lax verdict in Ms Crosetti's case. If the case was about the murder of 46 children who were killed in the same way as the dogs, you would surely not take into account the fact that the person who poisoned them had previously taken care of them and fed them regularly.
When the case involves abandoned animals, our society and our governing institutions consistently fail. Now, again, justice has not been served as the court has failed to correctly convict the perpetrator who killed 46 dogs. What's more, the court has failed to show the public that the killing of animals is an intolerable offense. It is unacceptable to give a symbolic sentence to a person who murdered such a large number of helpless abandoned, regardless of their psychological state.
The point of a sentence is to educate the public about how wrongdoings are punished. If Brankica Crosetti killed so many dogs and nothing happened to her, then why should anyone be concerned about the welfare of animals? With the court's verdict, you have essentially absolved animal abusers from punishment and responsibility. Volunteers are then left with the burden of caring for the many abused, abandoned, and neglected animals while the abusers go free.
Ms Crosetti's case shows that the system has failed and that the Animal Protection Act is not being adhered to. Ultimately her case shows that those who cause problems do not receive the proper punishment as prescribed by the Act including those who abandon animals, those who do not breed animals responsibility, and local communities who do not participate in castration, fostering, or education programs. The animal trade, in particular, continues to be unregulated, and is not condemned as shameful, even though many animals are bred and sold in large quantities while others die in the street or are killed at shelters.
As an organization that educates the public about adopting an ethical attitude toward animals and as one that initiates and encourages positive legal changes in animal protection cases, modelled on more advanced member states in the EU, we appeal to you to use your work to properly convict animal abuse and killing. Even though the legal provisions are clear, their implementation, where more empathy is shown to the animal abusers and murderers than toward the animals themselves, represents the devaluation of these same provisions and the need to justly convict the law-breakers.
As an organization that educates the public about ethical attitude towards animals and initiates and encourages positive legal changes in animal protection, modelled on more advanced members of the EU, we appeal to you to use your work to contribute to sanctioning animal abuse and killing. Even though the legal provisions are clear, their implementation, where more empathy is shown to the abusers and murderers of animals than towards animals, represents devaluation of the same provisions and the need to justly sanction the law-breakers.
We remain at your disposal for future collaboration on situations where laws that protect animals have been broken.

Minneapolis, MN & Los Angeles, CA (December 11, 2006)--Music, sound and audio production company Brahmstedt White Noise (BWN) announced the addition of two key talents, composers Justin Asher and Annie Holoien. Asher is based on the company's Los Angeles office, while Holoien is located in the new studio in downtown Minneapolis.
Minneapolis, MN & Los Angeles, CA (December 11, 2006)–Music, sound and audio production company Brahmstedt White Noise (BWN) announced the addition of two key talents, composers Justin Asher and Annie Holoien. Asher is based on the company’s Los Angeles office, while Holoien is located in the new studio in downtown Minneapolis.
Both bring extensive experience in commercial, long-format and independent music production combining the hard knocks of live performance and touring with the pleasantries of the in-studio creative.
“Working at BWN with (Founders) Ken (Brahmstedt) and Carl (White) is great for so many reasons; they are talented, fast and clients love them,” said Holoien. “I am excited to be a part of this growing company and to merge my music experience with growing studio skills.”
A native of Fargo, ND, Annie Holoien moved to Minneapolis in 1996. A true music lover, she was a classically trained pianist at a young age and moved on to electric guitars and drums in high school. She is an avid record collector who has been in several rock & roll bands; most recently The Soviettes with whom she toured the U.S. several times, co-wrote a handful of singles and recorded three full-length albums.
Asher added, “We share a similar approach to composing, which makes for a really rewarding experience. Additionally, Ken and Carl are both so technically savvy that they can focus their energy on the creative content and seamless collaboration, whether in the next room or thousands of miles away.”
A native New Yorker, Asher attended Purchase Conservatory and earned a Bachelor degree in Studio Composition and began touring as a multi-instrumentalist (piano, guitar and percussion. Between tours he engineered, played on and produced critically acclaimed records for Touch and Go, Koch international, Island/Def Jam, Tzadik, Knitting Factory and Munich Europe. He was previously with Slogan Music in Los Angeles.

McDonald's adds another White House alum to comms roster
September 25, 2015 by Laura Nichols
Cabrera will report to former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs.
OAK BROOK, IL: McDonald’s has hired Burson-Marsteller worldwide VP Jano Cabrera as its SVP of US communications, global media, and public relations.
He will join the fast-food giant on October 15.
Cabrera will report to Robert Gibbs, McDonald’s global CCO and EVP and former White House press secretary.
Like Gibbs, Cabrera has worked for a Democratic administration. He was the assistant and later deputy press secretary for Vice President Al Gore from 1998 and 2000, according to his LinkedIn profile.
Before joining Burson-Marsteller, Cabrera was a principal at Carthage Communications and a senior media adviser at the National Democratic Institute, as well as national spokesman for the Democratic National Committee.
His campaign experience also includes more than a year as deputy communications director and national spokesman for Joe Lieberman’s presidential campaign in 2004 and deputy national spokesman for Gore’s White House bid four years earlier.
McDonald’s named Gibbs to its top communications role in June, following his tenure as founding partner of the Incite Agency, based in Washington, DC. He was White House press secretary from the beginning of the Obama administration to February 2011.
A Burson-Marsteller representative was not immediately available for comment.

Early access 2017, released 2018
No holds barred open world survival game with some controversial pieces like sliders for boobs and dicks, and the ability to own slaves
Sci-fi action RPG that’s the spiritual successor the Lords of the Fallen, which is a viking love-letter to the Soulsborne franchise
A sci-fi action RPG set on a Mars colony but this one is more story- and choice-driven, being compared to mid-2000’s BioWare games but without the polish or storytelling finesse
Outcast – Second Contact
2017 remake of the 1999 adventure game of the year and cult classic, Outcast
Third or first person open world shooter where you play an ex Navy SEAL stranded on an alien world trying to get home
Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2
Tactical shooter where you can take control of friendly units like drones, tanks, and aircraft to out-maneuver and take down the enemy
Battlefront 2
Critically acclaimed first and third person shooter based in the Star Wars universe, with a campaign retelling portions of the main story from the perspective of a veteran Stormtrooper and really fun multiplayer
It also includes a Risk-style Galactic Conquest mode that seems pretty slick
Gorgeous, well-written supernatural mystery graphic adventure where you play a teenage girl exploring the mysteries of a local island
We saw this offered by Twitch back in October, and before that on Xbox One in September 2017
It’s not a game, but it is handy- they’re giving away up to a year of Nintendo Switch Online
If you’re a Twitch Prime subscriber you can get three months of NSO for free, then 60 days after you redeem that you can grab another 9 months.
Best part, if you’re already a subscriber the time just stacks on to your current subscription
One thing to note- redeeming the offer will turn on automatic renewal, so if you don’t want to pay for NSO after the free time is up you’ll want to disable that in your Nintendo eShop account settings
Top story of the week, it’s time to pick up your copy of No Man’s Sky on PS4 before prices go back up!
Though the digital edition is still full price, many have seen discs offered for $10-20
And why do you care? Because existing owners on PS4 and PC are getting free VR support this summer as part of the Beyond update
This is something that people immediately looked for when it first released in 2016, and the fact that it’s coming now, for free, is pretty amazing
Apparently this won’t just be a VR mode, and the studio is billing it as the “entire game brought to life in virtual reality”
They’ve also mentioned that multiplayer will be supported with both VR and nonVR players together
Looking at the trailer they’re supporting full motion controls even while piloting your ship or exocraft
This is gonna be good
Apple’s Show Time event was this week, and here are some of the highlights for what we’ll see from them this year
They’re getting their own credit card, working with MasterCard and Goldman Sachs, with some interesting security features and underwhelming rewards
The physical card is laser-etched titanium with no visible numbers
If you want to buy stuff online you’ll need to get the card info from the Wallet app, which has a dynamic number for each device you own that you can regenerate on-demand
The physical card seems to be mainly a backup if you need swipe or chip-and-pin instead of tap
On the rewards side of things, they’re offering fairly average cash back rewards while pushing to keep those rewards inside the Apple ecosystem
And it also has some built-in analytics to help you see how you’re spending your money, with a neat feature using machine learning to translate those weird merchant names you see on your credit card statement into actual businesses
Apple News+ is folding in a bunch of news and magazine subscriptions to a single app for $10/month, which isn’t bad all said and done if you read magazines
Apparently the content will be specifically formatted for the app, instead of just PDF magazine pages displayed on your phone
Apple Arcade is an interesting one- for a subscription price that they haven’t announced yet, you get access to a bunch of new and exclusive games that can be played on- or offline on the iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV
Seems to basically be Apple’s answer to the Xbox Game Pass
And then there’s Apple TV Channels and TV+
Channels seems to be like if you sliced up Netflix and purchased specific bits and pieces, looking to bring things like HBO and other streaming services traditionally locked behind cable subscriptions to the internet at large
Channels will be on not only Apple hardware, but also some smart TV’s, Roku, and Amazon devices
And then TV+ is where they’re hosting their fancy new content which we heard a bit about but didn’t see any trailers or much detail at all. The presentation seemed mostly to be “Look, Steven Spielberg! And Jason Momoa! And Oprah! Wow!”
Facebook… did a good thing?
They’ve announced that their terms of service will be updated next week with a new anti-hate rule
Specifically, this means anything falling under white nationalism or white separatism will be banned from the platform
Apparently the reason it’s taken them this long is because it wanted to leave room for national pride, but there’s no reason you can’t be proud of your country without being hateful about it
With the new ban, Facebook also says that when users search for terms connected to white supremacy on its platforms, they’ll be redirected to Life After Hate- a non-profit organization founded by former members of hate organizations offering crisis intervention, education, support, and outreach to former or current members of similar groups
They didn’t go into details on exactly what the search terms are, and whether searching for hateful memes or talk show hosts would trigger things the way using nazi search terms would
But don’t worry if Facebook doing something in the right direction confuses you, they also did a dumb thing to balance it out
Facebook has posted an article called “Keeping Passwords Secure”, in which they fess up to keeping passwords for hundreds of millions of users stored in plain text, dating all the way back to 2012
They were accessible by over 20,000 employees, not to mention people getting access through possibly nefarious means
At this point Facebook says no abuse seems to have happened, but really how would they know for sure
watchOS 5.2 released this week, bringing ECG support to Hong Kong and many parts of the EU
Still no word on a Canadian release
A crisp new trailer for Borderlands 3 dropped this week, and it looks as fun as ever
Fingers crossed they recapture the magic of the main series after the slightly-off release of the Pre-Sequel
Apparently Nintendo is working on two new Switch models, working on a two-pronged approach
According to the Wall Street Journal, one will have some sort of enhanced capabilities, while the other will be a cheaper option removing things like the fancy vibration feature to become a successor to the 3DS
In a delicious bit of karma, AT&T’s “5G E” service, which has drawn a lot of fire for not actually being 5G, has apparently tested out to actually be, on average, slightly slower than their competitors 4G networks
I’m not sure how this will affect Sprint’s lawsuit over the false advertising, but I’d like to think some lawyers just got very happy
Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves will be back in Bill and Ted 3: Face the Music
The announcement video is some pure Bill and Ted nostalgia with the actors jumping right back into their roles as the Wyld Stallyns and thanking fans for their support
Recommend Just 6 Weeks
It’s an free app that sets up a workout regimen to get you to 100 pushups in 6 weeks, with paid options for other things like situps or pullups
I’ve gone from 33 pushups across 5 reps to 94 in about 5 weeks
It does ramp up a little aggressively, so I’ve had to repeat workouts before moving on (technically I’m partway through week 4), but it’s been good with not a lot of time commitment
It’s also been nice having it keep track of the numbers for me, since I don’t really feel different and then I see I’ve about tripled what I could do a month and a half ago
Literally Misleading

Patreon is back at it again, ruining their perfectly good business model because investors are annoyed they’re not getting more money for less work
Under the existing setup they’re basically just a transaction processor, allowing creators to receive a little support from a lot of people more effectively than users could on their own
Creators currently get 90% of pledges, with 5% going to transaction fees and the other 5% padding Patreon’s pockets
Considering they just announced they’ve payed out over $1B in payments, that 5% is pretty sizeable
Especially because the business scales indefinitely- adding more users doesn’t really add to their overhead or staffing needs
Compare that to a service like YouTube where a channel could upload hours of video a day, taking up a ton of storage and processing, but if no one watches them then there’s no return on that investment
Unfortunately under the guise of “building a sustainable business”, aka their investors (who they didn’t need) want all of the money forever, they’re moving to creator membership tiers with higher costs and mucking with features that everyone uses
Keep in mind, their business is kind of the definition of sustainable
So, what does this mean for creators? Well the plus side is they say current accounts won’t see any changes (though they’ve sprung changes on us without warning before, so that could change)
New creators will get to choose between Patreon Lite, Patreon Pro, and Patreon Premium
Lite gets you a basic creator page with no membership tiers, and Patreon keeps 5%
Pro gets you basically what they’re offering now, with membership tiers, analytics, and promo tools. This is the one they’re grandfathering existing accounts into at no extra charge, but new accounts will pay Patreon 8%
Premium has all that plus a “dedicated partner manager”, team accounts, merch for membership, and the privilege of giving up 12% of their income with a minimum $300 fee
All in all they’re charging more for the same features, and adding on new features that, from what I’ve seen, current Patreon creators don’t care about
Nintendo’s Nindies Showcase was this week, and here are some of the highlights
Cuphead is coming to the Switch on April 18 with Xbox Live support (so presumably trophies?)
My Friend Pedro, a 2.5D run and gun you’ve probably seen gifs of on Reddit with its ridiculously stylish and acrobatic gunplay, it hitting the Switch this June
The creators of Crypt of the NecroDancer are bringing us a Zelda themed adventure this spring in Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer Featuring The Legend of Zelda
Uses an art style reminiscent of portable Zelda games and features 25 remixed songs from the franchise
Those are some of the bigger ones announced, but it’s definitely worth your time to check out the other trailers as well
We also saw some details on Google’s new Stadia game streaming service, and it looks interesting
One of the biggest pieces to it is being able to play a game within seconds of seeing the trailer on YouTube
Official trailers could add a Play Now button, launching the game directly within your browser and letting you play immediately
They say as long as you have a stable internet connection, you can play modern games without hitches even on phones, tablets, or chromebooks
You can play with whatever you have connected to the device you’re streaming on- controller or mouse/keyboard, or you can use their fancy Stadia controller that actually connects directly to the cloud via wifi
Plus it’s got built-in integration with Google Assistant- with the press of a single button it will automatically detect where in the game you are and show you the most relevant YouTube video to help out
They also say that, because the processing is all done in the cloud, developers won’t have to worry about performance when it comes to couch co-op and dealing with rendering a split screen
id Software has even announced that Doom Eternal, the sequel to Doom’s 2016 reboot, will be playable on Stadia in 4K at 60fps
There are still a lot of questions, like latency and costs, not to mention how developers can expect to get paid, but if nothing else this will continue to push the cloud gaming conversation forward
Fingers crossed this doesn’t mark the beginning of the end of offline gaming, especially since I don’t really want me gaming completely controlled by Google
After Disney fired James Gunn from Guardians of the Galaxy 3 over some decade-old tweets dug up by right-wing personalities, they’ve finally decided on a new director- James Gunn!
Apparently while the film was on hold they never started searching for a new director, and instead became convinced he should be given a second chance
He’s still making The Suicide Squad, so Guardians 3 won’t be coming out for a couple more years yet
As fellow APN member I Have Some Notes said on Twitter, “People who say terrible things should be admonished, people who say terrible things but apologize and learn should be encouraged”
Netflix is getting back in the interactive adventure game with You vs Wild
The show will star Bear Grylls across 8 episodes as he attempts to survive extreme conditions and climates, and ask viewers to decide what he does and whether he succeeds or fails
All 8 episodes are hitting Netflix on April 10
For more proof that we’re in the darkest timeline, NASA has issued a warning about space herpes after the virus was found reactivating in crew aboard the shuttle and ISS
Apparently spaceflight increases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which can suppress the immune system
The worst parts are, the longer the mission the more it seemed the viruses were reactivating, and it can have lasting effects up to 60 days after landing
Apple’s released new second-gen AirPods with their usual speed improvements, plus they’ve added Hey Siri functionality and a fancy new optional wireless charging case
AirPower is still nowhere to be found, but apparently Apple just recently got their hands on that trademark so it could be here next year for gen3
Either way, the new ones have launched at exactly the same price as the old ones with some extra features so I’d call that a win
We also saw some low-key updated to the iMac and iPad lines, with the new iPad mini finally getting a retina display and Apple Pencil support
A fancy new Oculus headset, the Rift S, is coming this spring with higher-resolution screens and a PSVR-like headband
It also comes with Oculus Touch controllers and not require any external tracking sensors, all for $399 USD
Hello Games continues to revamp No Man’s Sky with this summer’s Beyond update, bringing “radical new” multiplayer components
The new No Man’s Sky Online will specifically avoid subscription fees and microtransactions, and will be free for all existing players
Recommend The Calculating Stars (Lady Astronaut series) by Mary Robinette Kowal
Really interesting, entertaining, and human alternate history set in a world that a large scale disaster in 1952 has humanity accelerate space programs to create colonies on other planets
This is a series where I find myself really reading the acknowledgements, because it’s so cool how many scientists, astronauts, and pilots contributed to the accuracy
You don’t often see fiction novels with a bibliography

A Japanese voice actor’s arrest is making waves in the games industry, with some surprisingly large-scale effects
Actor and musician Pierre Taki was arrested for cocaine use, testing positive on a drug test administered by police If found guilty he could be facing up to seven years in prison, and apparently in Japan it’s common that artists arrested for drug-related crimes are completely scrubbed from creative works
It’s a bit of a culture-shock, but it seems like they’re concerned about their IP being associated with that behaviour If that was a thing in North America, we’d have a lot less media Sega has suspended sales of the Yakuza spinoff Judgement, which had Taki providing the voice and facial capture for Kyohei Hamura. Hamura is apparently heavily involved with the player throughout the game
It’s been pulled from digital stores and physical shipments have been halted
Taki also voiced the Olaf from Frozen in Kingdom Hearts 3, and according to a press release Square Enix will be removing his work from that title and pushing an update with a new dub
YouTube fought back against trolls by tweaking its search algorithm to tag Brie Larson as a news-worthy search term
Previously looking her up on YouTube would show a bunch of angry rants and calls for a boycott of Captain Marvel (which, spoiler, definitely didn’t work)This week they recategorized “Brie Larson” as news, which forces more reliable sources like Entertainment Tonight, ABC, CNN, and other news outlets to the top of the results
We originally saw these tools rolled out in October 2017, after search results were favouring conspiracy videos over the actual news of a mass shooting in Las Vegas
So it looks like YouTube has the tools to prioritize higher-quality videos- do you think it’s something they should roll out more widely? Or do you think the potential harm to small creators is too much of a risk?
Halo: Master Chief Collection is coming to PC, and bringing Reach along with it
It’s going to feature full mouse/keyboard support, 4K resolutions, and an HDR toggle, but no word on things like ultra-wide monitors or higher frame rates
Arriving “later this year” according to the official Waypoint site, and will be available via Steam or Windows Store, but with a twist
Each game will be released one at a time, rather than all six at once, because they want to make sure they get each port right and give players a chance to jump in as soon as possible
Interestingly, the release order is going by the in-game continuity: Reach, then CE, 2, 3, ODST, and 4
People who own the collection on Xbox One will get some Reach content for free, but the campaign and firefight modes will be a paid add-on
Overwatch’s latest hero, the combat medic Baptiste, is hitting the game next week
He’s a former member of the Caribbean Coalition military group and Talon, and features:
A submachine gun that launches healing biotic grenades a heal-over-time called Regenerative Burst
An Immortality Field that prevents allies in its range from going below 40hp
His ultimate, Amplification Matrix, that doubles ally damage and healing
I’m looking forward to seeing how he meshes into the OWL meta, though as a support he might just get combined into the existing 3/3 strategy – Alan
Internet turns 30! Original Article Here
The world wide web was invented by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989 – originally he was trying to find a new way for scientists to easily share the data from their experiments. Hypertext (text displayed on a computer display that links to other text the reader can immediately access) and the internet already existed, but no one had thought of a way to use the internet to link one document directly to another.
Berners-Lee created the world wide web while he was working at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research in Switzerland. His vision soon went beyond a network for scientists to share information, in that he wanted it to be a universal and free ‘information space’ to share knowledge, to communicate, and to collaborate.
There are three main ingredients that make up the world wide web. URL (uniform resource locator), which is the addressing scheme to find a document; HTTP (hypertext transfer protocol), which connects computers together; and HTML (hypertext markup language), which formats pages containing hypertext links.
Berners-Lee also made the world’s first web browser and web server. During the 1990s the amount of web browsers being produced rapidly multiplied and a whole load more web-based technologies started sprouting up.
The world wide web opened up the internet to everyone, not just scientists. It connected the world in a way that made it much easier for people to get information, share, and communicate. It has since allowed people to share their work and thoughts through social networking sites, blogs, video sharing, and more.
Beat Saber has officially sold more than 1M copies, just in time for the first DLC song pack to release
The Monstercat Music pack adds 10 songs to the game for $13USD, $17.50CAD
They’ve also said that they’ll continue to regularly add free songs as well, like One Hope and Pop/Stars
Apple has announced their next event titled “It’s show time.”, scheduled for March 25th
They’ll likely be talking about their upcoming Apple News and streaming TV services, as well as the next iOS version, but I’m more hoping for hardware- specifically AirPods 2 and potentially AirPower
Recommend Captain Marvel
Fantastic movie, great acting, and a solid turn part way through It’s an origin story that acts as a crucible, bringing out Captain Marvel’s true power and motivation by the end of it. And when I say power I don’t mean photon blasts
I’m normally a big Iron Man fan, but she might be my new favourite character
I loved seeing how the beginning of things came together right before we see the Endgame
Without any original songs, thier band covers others artists work and become the number one rock band in the world. (Video Game)

Star Vikings Forever
Billed as a humorous puzzle/rpg, you have to position your team of uniquely built vikings to strategically attack enemies and clear each board with teamwork and chain reactions
The King’s Bird
A precision-platformer inspired by games like Super Meat Boy and N+, where you use momentum to dash and glide through challenges in a world of silhouettes
A multiplayer pinball sport game where you are the ball, bouncing and spinning to reach incredible speeds and surprising your opponents with attacks from where they least expect them
Snake Pass

Nintendo is bringing VR to the Switch with a Google Cardboard-style Labo kit
Set for release on April 12th, there will be a couple different ways to get your hands on it
The full $80USD set will include six toy-con projects: the VR goggles, a blaster, a camera, a bird, a wind pedal, and an elephant
There’s also going to be a starter kit with just the goggles and blaster for $40USD, and two expansion packs for $20 each with the remaining toy-cons
There aren’t a lot of details on what kind of toy-con garage support this will have, but it looks like a fun way to get into VR without a massive investment
In a move that really cements how impenetrable some people want technology to be, the new USB 3.2 protocol is changing everything for some reason
In a move they say is to make things “easier”, the USB Implementers Forum says that all USB 3 is now called USB 3.2
The original USB 3, that uses the old standard plugs, is now USB 3.2 Gen 1 and marketed as SuperSpeed USB
USB 3.1, which doubles the speed and uses either standard USB or USB-C, is now USB 3.2 Gen 2 and marketed as SuperSpeed USB 10Gbps
And the new USB 3.2, which doubles the speed again and can only use USB-C cables, is now USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 and marketed as SuperSpeed USB 20Gbps
So at the end of the day we’ve got all those blue USB ports called USB 3.2 regardless of what kind of connector they use or what speed they support, so this is just a consumer nightmare
BioWare is trying to play catch-up and patch Anthem into a complete, stable title
On top of some major issues with weapon damage and level scaling, causing your starting weaponry to be the most powerful gun in the game despite the damage numbers appearing lower, they’re having a bunch of stability issues
Latest reports have it not only suffering from crashes and connection issues, but in many cases completely crashing PlayStation 4 consoles to the point where they need to be rebooted in safe mode
Some users even claimed that their consoles were completely bricked, but according to BioWare all cases they’re aware of can be powered back up if you manually power it down and restart it. They do ask that if you’re experiencing anything different to contact @EAHelp on Twitter so they can investigate
Even with this response though, many users are reaching out to Sony and receiving refunds for the game because of these issues
In BioWare’s favour, they say that they’ve “discovered a bunch of things that were causing crashes” and are addressing them in a patch releasing next week
This patch won’t be addressing the damage scaling issues, but that will apparently be fixed “real soon”
Sony ended production of the PS Vita this week, but some good news is they’ve officially released a remote-play app for iOS (in addition to the existing Android, Mac, and Windows apps)
If you want to actually play games you’ll want a bluetooth game controller though, since you can’t connect PS4 controllers to iDevices and the touchscreen controls are a little much
Disney’s announced their streaming service, Disney Plus, will launch later this year and contain the entire Disney motion picture library
This is a pretty big deal, since it basically means the end of the Disney Vault marketing trick that they used to create artificial scarcity and limit availability of home video versions of their films
In addition to the massive backlog of content, it’s also going to have a bunch of the Marvel Cinematic Universe as well as new content made specifically for the service, like the live-action Star Wars series The Mandalorian
Good guy Nintendo has reportedly asked its mobile game developer partners to back off on in-app purchases, pushing for pay-once apps to stop nickle-and-diming players
Microsoft will be releasing an all-digital edition of the Xbox One S for preorder this April
There’s no word on the price yet, with some speculating it’ll aim for <$200, but it could be a solid streaming and digital gaming box as long as they give it a decent sized hard drive
It may also be part of a program where you take your physical games to a Microsoft Store and trade them for download codes

Huawei has also introduced a folding tablet, but this one has the screen on the outside
On the plus side, that means they don’t need to bother with a second tiny screen like Samsung
On the downside, that means that when it’s closed there’s no way to put it down that can’t scratch the plastic screen
Also, this one costs about $2600 USD

Nintendo released a Pokemon Direct this week, introducing Pokemon Sword and Shield coming to the Switch later this year
Looks like the games have a full 3D setting in a new region called Galar, described as a more modern world with factories, trains, and steelworks in addition to idyllic countryside and contemporary cities
It looks like the new region may be based on the UK, with many features on the map appearing to match landmarks like Big Ben and the London Eye.
Even some of the characters’ clothing looks fairly British
And some good news for fans of previous generations- they showed that older Pokemon like Pikachu, Tyranitar, and Munchlax will all be making appearances along with the new gen
The newest trio of starters are grass-type Grookey, fire-type Scorbunny, and water-type Sobble
Facebook is launching a platform to compete with Patreon that’s worse in every conceivable way (which should be more of a challenge, considering some of the stuff that Patreon’s pulled in the past)
The most obvious problem is that compared to Patreon’s 5% cut of supporter dollars, Facebook wants up to 30%
They also reserve the right to offer free trials to subscriptions that won’t compensate creators
And they demand a “non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license” to use creator content, and “this license survives even if you stop using Fan Subscriptions”
So they have rights to use your content. And give it away. And sell it. Anywhere in the world. Without paying you a dime. Forever.
This is straight-up abusive, and the worst part is Facebook knows it- they’ve run trials, and when creators asked questions or pointed out problems in the terms their invites were revoked and they were summarily banned from the platform
Microsoft workers are calling on the company to cancel their new contract with the US military
The $479M contract would see HoloLens, Microsoft’s augmented reality headset, used by the army in what workers are calling a corruption of designers’ and engineers’ earlier work and an affront to those opposed to designing weapons for war
HoloLens was announced in 2015, but just this last November Microsoft reached an agreement to develop an “Integrated Visual Augmentation System” based on the tech
The technology is explicitly meant to “increase lethality by enhancing the ability to detect, decide and engage before the enemy”
While Microsoft has offered to accommodate employees opposed to developing tech for the military by moving them to other projects or teams, employees say that ignores the problem that they’re not properly informed of the uses of their work
A letter to Microsoft noted that “many engineers contributed to HoloLens before this contract even existed” on the assumption that it would be applied to fields like architecture, surgery, and space exploration, not helping people kill
Instead they argue that they’re now implicated as war profiteers
A Microsoft spokesperson, in a statement to The Guardian, didn’t respond to the criticisms but said the company “always appreciated feedback from employees”
THQ Nordic held an AMA this week on a website created because 4chan was too strict
For some reason they decided to host the Q&A session on 8chan- the website involved in incidents regarding child pornography, swatting, GamerGate, and more
8chan is a spinoff of 4chan, a site already notorious for racist, sexist, and inflammatory rhetoric, created out of a belief that 4chan was too limiting
Many thought that someone had hacked THQ Nordic’s social media, but were shocked when the session actually started and had two higher-level staff answering questions on that internet hellscape
PR and marketing director Philipp Brock responded to things like asking them not to appeal to the “SocJUs crowd” with “thanks! We’ll try to stay that way.”, and when one person asked “where the big tiddie lolis at?” with a picture of a many groping two girls, he replied “you got them already we’d say”
While this seems like a massive hacker stunt, with no way that a company would actually do this kind of thing, Vice contacted THQ Nordic and received this reply from Philipp Brock
“I personally agreed to this AMA without doing my proper due diligence to understand the history and the controversy of the site,” he said in a statement. “I do not condone child pornography, white supremacy, or racism in any shape or form. I am terribly sorry for the short-sightedness of my (!) decision, and promise to be far more vigorous in my assessment of these activities in the future. This was not about being edgy, this blew up and I very much regret to have done it in the first place.”
And while they’re backpedaling and looking for excuses, it’s not like 8chan is ever sneaky about what it’s doing. It’s pretty much what it says on the tin.
That, combined with the responses posted and the fact that their Twitter account is liking tweets supporting the AMA after the fact, makes the apology even weaker than it already is
Josh found a PC childhood favorite made for modern operating systems
https://www.openra.net
I’ll just read the about us section from their site
OpenRA is a project that recreates and modernizes the classic Command & Conquer real time strategy games. We have developed a flexible open source game engine (the OpenRA engine) that provides a common platform for rebuilding and reimagining classic 2D and 2.5D RTS games (the OpenRA mods).
This means that OpenRA is not restricted by the technical limitations of the original closed-source games: it includes native support for modern operating systems and screen resolutions (including Windows 10, Mac OS X, and most Linux distros) without relying on emulation or binary hacks, and features integrated online multiplayer.
While we love the classic RTS gameplay, multiplayer game design has evolved significantly since the early 1990’s. The OpenRA mods include new features and gameplay improvements that bring them into the modern era:
A choice between “right click” and classic “left click” control schemes
Overhauled sidebar interfaces for managing production
Support for game replays and an observer interface designed for streaming games online
The “fog of war” that obscures the battlefield outside your units’ line of sight
Civilian structures that can be captured for strategic advantage
Units gain experience as they fight and improve when they earn new ranks
OpenRA is 100% free, and comes bundled with three distinct mods. When you run a mod for the first time the game can automatically download the original game assets, or you can use the original game disks.
They have Tibetan Dawn the original Command and Conquer, Red Alert the alternate history to WWII, and Dune 2000, possibly my favourite out of these 3.

Education Bill — Control of Regulation — 23 Jul 2002 at 18:29
The majority Content voters passed an amendment to the Education Bill. This vote was about a Lords amendment that had been rejected by the House of Commons with regards to controlling the amount of material that is sent to schools by public bodies. It came back to the House of Lords to be debated and voted on again.
An alternative amendment (14A) was proposed by Baroness Ashton of Upholland. This was opposed by the Conservatives and Baroness Blatch proposed another alternative amendment (14B) which kept the same spirit of the original Lords amendment.
Again the government disagreed and proposed amendment 14BA which was the eventual amendment that was voted on. This differed from the Conservative amendment in that rather than putting a legal duty on the Secretary of State to control regulation it merely requires the minister to "have regard to" controlling regulation.
In the debate Baroness Blatch explained why the Tories wanted a legal duty on the Secretary of State to limit regulation and guidance to governing bodies and teachers as follows:
"The most frequent reason given by most teachers leaving the profession is the same—too much bureaucracy, too much interference and too many government initiatives."[1]
However, Baroness Ashton thought the amendment proposed by the Conservatives might increase the level of prescription that schools face:
"Through this Bill we have set out to deregulate. We have been absolutely clear about saying that we believe that education legislation is over-prescriptive and that the level of regulation is too great. And in a very consistent way, we have set out in this Bill to begin to change that. The way we have done it is this. We have taken a piece of over-prescriptive primary legislation and repealed it, but taken a power to make secondary legislation. We have made clear that the regulations we will make will be significantly less prescriptive than the primary legislation that has gone before. But the crucial point is that if we cannot make regulations, we cannot deregulate."[2]

Sena members vandalise insurance firm office in Pune
Members if the Shiv Sena ransacked the office of a private insurance company in Maharashtra's Pune city on Wednesday, while demanding that it clear the insurance
claims of farmers who suffered crop losses, police said.
Nearly 35 activists entered the Iffco Tokio General Insurance company's office, located in Koregaon Park area, at around 11 am and ransacked the premises before running away, Assistant Commissioner of Police Ravindra Rasal said.
Several computers, laptops, window glasses and furniture were damaged in the vandalism, an official at Koregaon police station said.
On getting information about the incident, the police rushed to the spot.
The attackers were demanding that farmers who suffered crop losses be given their insurance claims at the earliest, he said.
"They were raising slogans in support of the Shiv Sena. We are in the process of identifying the attackers," Rasal said.
The Shiv Sena recently said around 50 lakh farmers in the state have taken crop insurance, and asked the insurers to not create any hurdles in clearance of the claims.
The state government last week approved Rs 10,000 crore as a special provision to provide immediate assistance to farmers affected by unseasonal rains.
As per an initial evaluation, crops like jowar, paddy, cotton, maize, tur and soyabean on 54.22 lakh hectares spread across 325 talukas in the state have been damaged.
During a Cabinet sub-committee meeting on Saturday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis directed the officials concerned to review the ground situation in their respective areas and finalise details of the assistance to be provided.
The state witnessed unprecedented post monsoon showers this year, especially due to cyclones in the Arabian Sea.
Most of the crop damage due to untimely showers was caused in the second and third weeks of October.
Fadnavis also met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi on Monday and discussed the issue of farmers suffering losses due to untimely showers.
He later said that Shah assured him to hold talks with insurance companies and help farmers who have incurred losses.

Lawsuits filed against 7 businesses for hitting underground gas pipes
February 22, 2017 By Dar Danielson
Iowa’s Attorney General has filed seven lawsuits covering five counties for alleged violations of the “Iowa One Call” law.
The law requires anyone who is going to be digging to call at least 48 hours in advance to have underground utility lines marked. Attorney General Tom Miller’s spokesman, Geoff Greenwood, says the people involved in each of these cases failed to make that call.
“These are cases where it wasn’t just a matter of a contractor digging near a line, in most of these cases a contractor actually hit a line. These are all involving natural gas pipes,” Greenwood says.
Four of the lawsuits have been resolved or have agreements pending. He says these types of violations are not something that can be overlooked. “We are concerned when something like this occurs because it is a public safety threat,” Greenwood says. “Whether it’s a gas line, or electrical line or telephone line — it endangers the public when a contractor goes in and digs without calling first and doesn’t know where those lines are located.”
Greenwood says there are a variety of underground utilities and hitting any of them can create some serious issues. “We’ve had situations before where underground lines have exploded. We’ve had situations before where people have been electrocuted. We’ve had situations where the phone lines went down and a whole community had not access to its 9-11 system or other ways to make a phone call,” Greenwood explains. “So, that’s why we take these cases seriously.”
Greenwood says being in a hurry to get work done is not an excuse for not calling and having the underground lines marked. “We hear that once in a while that someone was trying to save time or money — and that argument just doesn’t wash. That’s because this is a free call, it doesn’t cost you anything to call these folks and have them come out and do what the law requires,” Greenwood says. “The surveying is free. So, it’s a one call phone call and they will come out and survey the area and mark where these lines are located underneath the ground and that protects, you, it protects the public and it protects the utilities.” And Greenwood says it can cost you a lot more to go ahead and dig and hit a line instead of waiting.
Anyone planning to dig can notify the Iowa Once Call Notification Center about planned digging or excavating online at www.iowaonecall.com, or by phone at 811 (or toll-free at 800-292-8989). The center is open 24-hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year.
The lawsuits, including four that are resolved or the agreements are pending. Here are the details:
In Calhoun County, Ag Repair of Manson alledgedly hit a Northern Natural Gas pipeline while doing tile work and had to replace a section of the pipeline at a cost of $100,000. The lawsuit in this case seeks unspecified damages and a court order barring the company from violating the One Call law.
In Dickinson County a lawsuit against Lynde Construction Incorporated of Sioux Falls South Dakota, alleges that on April 4, 2016, the company hit and damaged a two-inch underground natural gas line as part of a drainage tiling project in Arnolds Park. The excavation allegedly took place several feet away from a permanent natural gas pipeline marker. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and a court order barring Lynde from violating the One Call law.
In Lee County the lawsuit alleges that in late January of 2016, DeLong Construction, of Washington, Iowa, was excavating as part of a ditch cleaning in rural Lee County, when it hit and damaged a one-foot diameter natural gas line. Through a proposed consent decree agreement has DeLong admitting violations and paying a $7,000 penalty and the company agrees not to violate the One Call law.
There are three lawsuits in Marion County District Court, which were tentatively resolved through proposed consent decrees. According to Miller’s lawsuit on August 7th, 2015, KMA Development LLC, doing business as KMA Trucking & Excavating, of Princeton, damaged a one-inch diameter natural gas line in Knoxville, while excavating to plant trees. Through a proposed consent decree agreement has KMA, admitting violations and agreeing to a $5,000 penalty and the company agrees not to violate the One Call Law.
The lawsuit alleges on March 23, 2016, Koopman Roofing Incorporated doing business as Hopkins Roofing of Pella, excavated land in Pella to lower an underground natural gas line. During the excavation, Hopkins damaged the line. Through a proposed consent decree agreement Hopkins Roofing admits violations and will pay a $3,000 penalty and agrees not to violate the One Call law.
The lawsuit alleges on February 1st, 2016, Peterson Tiling & Excavating LLC, of Pella, was excavating as part of a drainage tile installation in Pella when it hit and damaged a an underground natural gas line. Through a proposed consent decree agreement says Peterson admits violations and will pay $3,000 and agrees not to violate the One Call law.
In Sioux County, the lawsuit says on May 5th 2016, Steve Doorenboos, of Boyden, was excavating land as part of a drainage tile project in Boyden when his equipment hit and damaged an underground natural gas line. The incident resulted in the city losing natural gas service. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and a court order barring Doorenboos from violating the One Call law.

ADVANCE NOTES
Bayne at Fontana
Bayne will make his fourth career Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series (MENCS) start at Auto Club Speedway this weekend.
According to NASCAR’s Loop Data Statistics, Bayne currently ranks eighth in positions gained in the final 10 percent of a race at Fontana.
Bayne has made 52 career MENCS starts on tracks two miles or greater in length, earning one victory, his first, in the 2011 Daytona 500.
Bayne previously raced at Fontana in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, making seven starts and recording three top-10 finishes, with an average finish of 11.3.
Bayne’s best finish of sixth at Fontana came in the March 2011 event after starting from the ninth position.
Recapping Phoenix
Bayne recorded a 19th-place finish on Sunday afternoon at Phoenix International Raceway after battling a tight-handling condition for much of the 314-Lap event.
Matt Puccia at Fontana
Puccia will be atop the AdvoCare pit box for his sixth MENCS race at Fontana on Sunday. Puccia’s best finish at the two-mile oval is sixth twice (2012, 2013) with former Roush Fenway driver Greg Biffle.
QUOTE WORTHY
Bayne on racing at Fontana:
“Fontana is a really cool place to race at. It has a really rough surface that really allows you to race all over the place. You can run up by the wall if you want or all the way below the white line on the bottom. I’m really looking forward to getting there this weekend with our AdvoCare Ford and hopefully being in contention for a great finish on Sunday.”

Bermuda gunning for glory in Surinam
Ben Saunders, Sports Editor
Created: Jun 20, 2018 09:00 AM
The Bermuda basketball team have unveiled their secret weapon for the Fiba AmeriCup 2021 Caribbean Pre-Qualifier, which starts in Surinam on Sunday.
The Bermuda Basketball Association has acquired two state-of-the-art shooting machines, called “The Gun”, and the players have been getting full usage out of them as they look to fire their way to glory.
Gavin Mackenzie's side are going into the tournament undersized, but aim to show that small can be beautiful in the land of the giants.
The new machines have been helping them with their game plan, which will rely heavily on outside shooting.
“We've developed a really good relationship with the Bermuda Olympic Association and the Pan American Games had a grant that was available through the Olympic Association and they graciously asked us to come on board and it turned out to be great for us,” said Rickey Watts, the BBA president. “[These machines] are the best on the market right now.
“This type of technology has never been in Bermuda for our basketball team, so we are very fortunate and we are over-the-top happy about the BOA helping us out. They use this at Golden State and everywhere else!”
As the side went through their preparations at the CedarBridge Academy gymnasium last night, Gavin MacKenzie, the Bermuda head coach, outlined the reasoning behind his strategy.
“We're going to be playing small ball,” he said. “My small forward [Jason Lowe] is now my centre. Now he's the biggest guy on the team because a lot of the former players don't want to make a commitment, so you have to go with those who are going to commit.
“We were a small team when we went in 2015 [to the Caribbean Basketball Championship in British Virgin Islands] and now we're even smaller! A lot of these guys are new to the programme. Right now, the only veterans we have are Chris Crumpler, Jason Lowe, John Lee and Yusef Riley. All the others are new.”
Tim Trott, MacKenzie's assistant, added that Bermuda have to take into account the increase in standard and physicality in Surinam. The tournament is the first step to qualifying for the 2021 Fiba AmeriCup tournament and takes place in the Surinamese capital, Paramaribo.
The Caribbean Pre-Qualifier will qualify two teams for the AmeriCup Qualifiers, beginning in September. The two qualified Caribbean teams will join the South American and Central American Pre-Qualifier champions, along with the four eliminated Round One — Fiba Basketball World Cup Qualifier — Americas teams.
Bermuda will be in group B, along with Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Haiti and Montserrat. Group A consists of Grenada, Guyana, St Lucia, St Vincent and Surinam.
“In Fiba basketball, it's going to be a lot more physical than most of these guys have seen,” Trott said.
“What they do in the league, they're not going to get in this tournament.
“You see a lot of guys getting easy layups in the league; they're not going to get that. They're going to have somebody who's 6-9, 6-10 in the middle. So what we've been emphasising is taking mid-range to long-range shots.”
MacKenzie added: “They're going to pack it and they're going to count on us missing, so we have to deliver offensively. They're going to be giving [jump shots] to us, so we have to take advantage.”
But “The Gun” machines have come in useful, allowing players to get plenty of reps as they work on their shooting.
“It saves having somebody to rebound and you can reset it to come at a faster rate,” Trott said.
And Watts sees the long-term benefits of “The Gun” machines.
“We needed this to progress our programme and this will do great for our men's, our unders and our women's programme because it will allow them to get as much work in to prepare for their opponents,” he said.

Kirsty Mac | Episode 4
Triggering Tripwires
A tripwire is the breaking of a pattern of behaviour.
On a day-to-day basis, the things we do can be quite routine, they can be transactional, and we are actually working on autopilot the majority of the time. So, how can we create tripwires to break this pattern and how will it benefit you and your teams?
Kirsty Mac explores in this podcast, and creating them could be as simple as a bowl full of sweets…

China urges World Bank to suspend debt payments for poorest countries China on Thursday urged the World Bank to allow its poorest borrowers to suspend debt payments while they deal with the coronavirus pandemic, saying the world’s biggest multilateral development bank should “lead by example.” Chinese Finance Minister Liu Kun said in a statement to the World Bank’s Development Committee that all parties should take part in joint actions agreed by Group of 20 countries to address debt vulnerabilities amid the pandemic, including commercial, multilateral and official bilateral creditors. Liu said debt service suspension by the World Bank Group’s International Development Association arm would be “net present value-neutral” and would not hurt its credit rating. If the World Bank Group “fails to participate in collective actions for suspending debt service payments, its role as a global leader in multilateral development will be seriously weakened, and the effectiveness of the initia

MYSTICAL MEXICO:
A Spiritual Tour of the Ancient Mayan Ruins
(March 14 – 20, 2021)
Does evidence from ancient Mexico point to a missing chapter in human history?
During more than 25 years of intense scholarly research into Mesoamerican cultures, Richard Cassaro, author of three widely-acclaimed books on ancient symbolism, has discovered a key that unlocks a timeless spiritual wisdom (Perennial Philosophy) encoded in ruins across the Yucatan.
On this March 14th – 20th, 2021 tour, Cassaro will lead a group of Sacred Explorers on an esoteric expedition through the legendary land of the ancient Maya to investigate some of their many engineering, artistic, and scientific wonders that still defy explanation.

MONUMENTAL CAMBODIA:
An Esoteric Tour of the Ancient Temples
(November 8 – 14, 2020)
I´ll be taking a small handful of Sacred Explorers with me to Angkor Wat in Cambodia (November 8 – 14, 2020), home of the ancient capital of the Khmer Empire and the largest religious monument in the world. Only a few of the more than 1000 temples have been cleared of the jungle that engulfs them, and they are bathed in an atmosphere so evocative they will transport you to a place few modern travelers ever visit—the center of your spiritual Self!
I´ll explain how the core spiritual wisdom written into these mysterious stone monuments by the ancient Master Masons was the same Sacred Science now known in the modern West as the Perennial Philosophy, and how the central formula of this wisdom is the Marriage of Opposites—a formula written in stone on the temples themselves in the form of the Triptych! Tour details to be announced.

Scania aims to be the benchmark in sustainable logistics and set the standard on how to act as a transport buyer. By respecting social and legal demands and continuously improving the flows in every part of our supply chain, we eliminate waste, become more energy efficient and reduce CO2 emissions, while improving quality, reducing lead times and challenging costs.
For Scania, logistics is increasing in significance as the company develops from being purely a heavy vehicle manufacturer to also being a supplier of components to other brands within TRATON, and to being part of the ecosystem of transport and logistics.
Our daily logistics flows are enormous, and there is broad scope for identifying and cutting waste and emissions from these processes by taking a holistic approach, where we see logistics as part of the overall value chain.
Scania is responding to the great transformation in logistics brought by digitalisation, connectivity and the demand for sustainability. We are increasingly working in multi-modal flows with trains, ships and trucks, using alternative fuels and connected networks, resulting in increased process efficiency and minimised CO2 emissions.
Decisions within Scania’s logistics operations are based on achieving the best balance between sustainability, quality and cost. When designing transport solutions Scania values sustainability as much as we value decreased cost or improved lead times and efficiency.
Strategically, Scania Logistics is taking a holistic approach, where partnerships between purchasing, production and logistics are key. The cooperation with logistics partners such as carriers and service providers is also an important part of the strategy. By cooperating with our partners we can control and improve physical and information flows over the whole supply chain from order to delivery, in the most efficient way.
Fair transport
With a huge number of drivers being involved in the logistics value chain Scania sees fair transport as a cornerstone for building its credibility as a leader in sustainability. Starting 2018 Scania introduced a new demand specification for fair transport, based on consultations with main contractors, Volkswagen AG, TRATON SE, the Swedish traffic authority, and internal stakeholders such as HR, legal and compliance departments and Scania Transport Lab. We have identified a follow up process on the demands, including a sustainability questionnaire to get an overview of our carriers work within social sustainability in logistics, and we dig deeper into the area during audits focusing on these aspects. Our fair transport audit covers drivers’ working conditions, collective agreements, salaries and allowances, as well as security and environmental aspects. During 2019 we have started a pilot of random checks at our goods receptions to control that our demands are followed. Our focus on fair transport rely on Scania core values, and through this focus we work together with our carriers for continuous improvements in social sustainability.
To strengthen partnerships and to contribute to the logistics sectors drive to improve for the working conditions of road transports workers, we are also participants of the platform facilitated by CSR Europe called Responsible Trucking together with carriers and shippers. This is a platform to set social guidelines within the logistics area.
Packaging is a necessary part of the logistic flow.
Scania packaging has started the journey towards more sustainable packaging solutions with the target to reduce related CO2 emissions by 40% until 2025 (2017 as baseline). A well designed packaging solution can decrease the transport demand, the use of packaging material and the generated amount of waste.
During 2019, Scania has focused on increasing the fill rate in our packaging but also on using more sustainable packaging materials. From 2020 we demand that wood based packaging must be FSC or PEFC certified.
We have started the journey to reduce our use of virgin plastics and transfer to recycled or bio based plastics with the target to reach at least 60% by 2025.
Summary of Scania's environmental performance for the years 2015-2019. Since Scania is based in Sweden we have chosen to map our environmental reporting to match the Swedish environmental quality objectives.
Sustainability ambitions and targets
To be able to continuously improve, Scania measure and follow up on our performance. To facilitate tracking 18 sustainability KPI’s have been developed, all aligned with our sustainability ambitions and targets.
People sustainability
Scania works to manage impact and support people throughout our value chain, from our own employees to our suppliers, customers and communities.
Scania’s electric solutions – simplicity in a complex transition
In the future, every transport can be electric. And for a more sustainable world, most must. But replacing a diesel truck with an electrified is more than simply exchanging an old vehicle for a new.
Dairy giant switches to biogas
Arla Foods, the dairy cooperative in seven European countries, has the aim to reduce its carbon emissions by 30 percent by 2030 towards a neutral climate impact by 2050. In Finland, Arla’s second largest climate impact is transports. With quote & fact box and image gallery
Scania’s European cab production fully fossil-free
Scania’s cab production plant in Oskarshamn, Sweden, enters 2021 as fully fossil free. It will thereby be the first of its major production plants around the world to successfully phase out carbon emitting production elements.
Östersund expands electric bus operations with ten new Scania Citywide
Scania will deliver more electric city buses to Vy Buss for their operations in Östersund, a city with a population of 64,000 in mid Sweden. The ten new-generation 12.3-metre Scania Citywide LF buses will join Vy’s fleet of electric Scania buses that have been in traffic there since 2017.
Truck trailers with solar panels can save fuel
In a research partnership, Scania will develop a solar cell clad trailer to power a plug-in hybrid truck. Initial tests indicate possible fuel savings of 5–10 percent in Sweden and twice that amount in sun-rich southern Spain.
European CEO Alliance emphasises cross-industry collaboration to fight climate change
Yesterday, Scania’s CEO and President, Henrik Henriksson and CEOs from 11 other European companies joined forces for a zero-carbon future and a more resilient Europe. The European Union is committed to net zero emissions by 2050, which is in line with the CEO Alliance companies’ own decarbonisation strategies.
Scania researches better batteries
With the rapid expansion of electric vehicles, optimising batteries is more important than ever. In an early research project, Scania and its partner universities are studying the prospects for managing each and every cell in battery packs.
Electric trucks – increasingly compelling option
Transport buyers, cities and consumers are having a strong pull effect on the shift of the heavy transport industry to sustainable transport solutions, particularly electrification. This is creating a good upside on revenues at the same time as technological advances make the cost of operations much more favourable. It all adds up to the fact that electrification is a solution whose time has come.
How electric vehicles fit into Scania’s sustainability journey
The launch of Scania’s fully electric truck is a milestone on the company and its customers’ journey to a fossil-free commercial transport system. It also underlines the central importance of electric vehicle technology to Scania’s sustainability commitment.
First German e-road trial now fully operational
Since early July, the first German electric road test track near Frankfurt with catenary overhead lines is fully operational with five Scania R 450 hybrid trucks equipped with pantographs. The last of the five trucks was recently delivered to the German building materials supplier company Knauf.

Student Council Leadership Team Attends Convention
The weekend of April 17th, six members of the SIJ Student Council along with their advisors, Mrs. Feltz and Mrs. Pacholek, attended the 56th Annual State Convention of the Illinois Association of Junior High Student Councils (IAJHSC). The Convention was held in Springfield, Illinois. Representatives from 65 schools attended for a total of 1,084 delegates. Our Student Council brought close to 60 lbs. of pop tabs that were collected during the school year, to be recycled. Our contribution, added to the total contribution from all of the other schools totaled over $2,000, which was donated to the Ronald McDonald House. Also, the total IAJHSC contribution to “Camps Count for Kids,” totaled $18, 842. In addition to our cash contribution of $500, our school donated 24 handmade fleece blankets that were made during Catholic Schools Week, directly to Royal Family Kids Camp. This camp is a network of camps, children's clubs, and child mentoring for abused, abandoned and neglected children in the foster care system in Illinois.
At the convention, the delegates attended caucus sessions to elect the Northeast regional representative and shared various activity ideas to use in our schools and communities. The keynote speakers were Bob Tryanski and Carl Olson. Both speakers delivered inspiring presentations that conveyed a motivational message about the value of student leadership. The convention was a great opportunity for the students to improve their leadership skills, meet new friends and bring new ideas back to our Student Council.

Activist and photojournalist Matt Herron, who captured poignant moments of the civil rights era in the South including the 1965 voting rights march from Selma to Montgomery, Ala., died Friday in a glider crash in Lake County, police said.
Herron, a San Rafael resident, was a longtime political and social activist and photographer whose spirit of adventure took him all over the world.
He embarked on a year-and-a-half sailing voyage to Africa with his family, got in the way of whalers trying to harpoon their prey, and was chased by police during the civil rights struggle of the 1960s. In July 2014, a then 82-year-old Herron spent a week gliding over the Nevada desert with his son.
It’s how he would spend his last moments Friday.
Herron was piloting an LAK-17B FES Mini Glider, which took off from Lampson Field near Lakeport at about 2 p.m. en route to Mendocino County, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office said.
At about 5:40 p.m., the Sheriff’s Office received a report from the Williams Soaring Center, some 60 miles east of Lakeport, saying the aircraft was overdue.
The Soaring Center used GPS to track Herron’s glider to an area off Matthews Road in Lakeport, authorities said. There, deputies found the crashed glider and Herron, who died at the scene.
In a 2014 interview with The Chronicle, Herron detailed his family’s move from Philadelphia to Mississippi in the summer of 1963, when he was thrown into the thick of the civil rights movement, catapulting his photojournalism career and intensifying his activism for social justice.
The family made a pit stop in Birmingham, Ala., in their Volkswagen bus on a Sunday morning, Herron recalled. Church bells were ringing.
“We had a lot of dirty clothes, so we went to a laundromat, but the sign on the door said ‘whites only,’” Herron told The Chronicle. “We were not going to wash our clothes there. The church bells were still ringing, so we went to the 16th Street Baptist Church. We were warmly welcomed.
“Months later, the Klan bombed that church and four little girls were killed in the same bathroom my daughter had used while there. That was our introduction to the South.”
Herron was known for capturing the 54-mile voting rights march from Selma to the state capital of Montgomery, which he described as “the most intense” moments of his career, according to the Marin Independent Journal. His photos of the historic march, which shed light on the struggles of Black voters, were published all over the world and exhibited at the San Francisco Main Library in February.
Herron photographed the likes of the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., James Meredith and Rep. John Lewis, who died last month. Herron won the World Press Photo Contest in 1965 for his picture of a Mississippi highway patrolman attacking a 5-year-old child.
In 2014, Herron published “Mississippi Eyes,” a book about documentary photographers who captured the civil rights movement in the Deep South.
“One of our photographers was nearly killed by a sheriff’s posse in Selma,” Herron told The Chronicle. “It was frightening. I would strap on cameras like armor. I had three Nikons — two on my chest and one at my side. I was a different person when the cameras were on.”
Herron was drawn to daily life in the South and showcasing locals who didn’t make it into history books.
“Those folks were really the backbone of the civil rights movement,” he told The Chronicle. “The real work was done in rural areas by small groups of indigenous people aided by young Black and white militants who came from Black and white colleges in the North to develop a rural resistance to segregation. They were the soul of the movement.”
The Federal Aviation Association and the National Transportation Safety Board will investigate the crash, the Sheriff’s Office said.
Herron is survived by his wife, Jeannine, and two children.

More financial support for future City College grad
Oct. 7, 2009 12:00 a.m.
Impoverished citizens ought to tap the $300 million in government resources that go unclaimed in The City each year, and Mayor Gavin Newsom says he knows one way they should use those funds.
Calling a college education the “pathway out of poverty,” Newsom today was at City College of San Francisco to launch the expansion of a project that helps low-income residents pay the bills while getting an education.
Counselors in the program, called Single Stop, search for government benefits residents may be eligible for and guide them through the application process, the mayor’s office said. They also provide financial counseling, legal assistance and free tax preparation services, it said.
“Single Stop’s groundbreaking partnership with City College will transform the lives of thousands of students by enabling them to complete their college education,” Newsom said in a statement.

Synopsis: After the death of her famous opera-singing aunt, Paula is sent to study in Italy to become a great opera singer as well. While there, she falls in love with the charming Gregory Anton. The two return to London, and Paula begins to notice strange goings-on: missing pictures, strange footsteps in the night and gaslights that dim without being touched. As she fights to retain her sanity, her new husband's intentions come into question.
Director(s): George Cukor
Actors: Charles Boyer, Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotten, May Whitty
Production: MGM
Won 2 Oscars. Another 3 wins & 7 nominations.
Stand back.
No, Paula. Don't look back.
You've got to forget everything
that's happened here.
That's why you're going to Italy,
to Signor Guardi.
He was the best friend your aunt ever had,
and he'll be yours, too.
Perhaps Signor Guardi will make you
into a great singer, as she was.
Wouldn't you like that?
You must think of the future, dear,
not the past.
No. Now, look. Wait a moment, signorina.
There's no use.
Paula, you are not concentrating.
Your mind's not on your singing.
All these years you've worked so hard.
Now what's come over you?
This opera is tragedy, signorina.
You seem incapable of understanding.
Did you never hear your aunt sing Lucia?
But I don't sing like her. I know.
Signor Guardi,
may I speak to you seriously?
- Very seriously.
It is 10 minutes to the hour.
If you're not continuing the lesson,
I'd like to be excused.
- Very well, Signor Anton.
- Thank you. Good afternoon, signorina.
Now, what is it you wish
to say to me seriously?
"Very seriously."
Signor Guardi, I've tried.
I've worked hard, but it's no use.
- I haven't the voice, have I?
- The trouble is not in your voice alone.
Your heart is not in your singing anymore.
Each time you come here now,
you look happier and you sing worse.
Tell me, Paula, you're in love?
Yes. It's something
that has never happened to me before...
something I never expected
would happen...
it is as if nothing else existed...
even my music,
which used to mean so much to me.
Yes, you are right. My thoughts
were wandering while singing just now.
I'm too happy. That's why you said...
the tragedy was something
I could never understand.
I'm sorry. It was cruel of me to say that...
cruel and untrue.
Real tragedy has touched your life...
and very deeply.
But now there is a chance
to forget tragedy, my child.
Take it. Free yourself from the past...
and forget your singing, too, for a while.
Happiness is better than art.
Dear Maestro, no one has ever been
as kind to me as you have since she died.
Will you let me meet the man
who is taking my pupil away from me?
You have a rendezvous with him.
The moment your lesson is over,
you fly to him.
Is he jealous of your music,
these hours you spend away from him?
Dear Maestro...
I don't know when we'll meet again.
- Did you tell him?
- He told me. He didn't know who.
- What did he say?
- He said I should take my happiness.
And will you? Now?
Why do you still hesitate, Paula?
But I don't know you.
I don't know anything about you.
Nor I about you, but I want to marry you.
- Are you afraid?
- I think I am, a little.
- Of me?
No, never, but of happiness.
I haven't had a lot,
and I feel I can't trust it.
You must give me time
to get used to the idea.
You shall have all the time you want.
I've waited for you so long.
Waited? We've only known
each other two weeks.
I've waited all my life till now.
I can wait a little longer.
But it will not be easy to wait,
to be patient, seeing you every day.
No, it won't be easy for me, either.
- I should go away.
- Go away?
By myself for a week, only a week...
just to know what I'm doing,
just to be sure.
- Where will you go?
- I thought perhaps to the Lakes.
- And when will you go?
- I thought tomorrow.
- Tomorrow?
- Is that too soon?
No, the sooner you go,
the sooner you will come back.
But while you're away, never forget
for one moment I'm here waiting...
and in love with you.
My dearest.
Oh, my goodness! Good gracious!
- It's so exciting.

Posted by: karololesiak June 24, 2018 in History, International
On the history of radicalization in the Western context.
It can be argued that Saul of Tarsus is the first Lone Wolf radical. A Lone Wolf that emerges remotely of a movement. Radical because of a desperation and immediacy to change. After Paul there is a line of Christian radicals. But having had little to do with the original movement and eventually taking it’s mantle, is a feat.
The crusades were heavily organized by Lone Wolves like Peter the Hermit. Even though, he had no official relationship with the church at the onset. Going from being a virtual outsider in the Church to partial leadership of the People’s Crusade.
Official organizers for the Catholic Church like Abbot Bernard were a major factor in sustaining the crusades but not sparking them. Bernard of Clairvaux and Peter the Hermit were assuredly two different kinds of organizers. While Bernard’s education within the church made him a more eloquent speaker it seems that Peter was a showman. Arriving in a village tattered on a donkey surrounded by his followers.
The recorded intensity of his eyes overshadowed his tattered appearance. And while his moniker suggested he was a hermit he is also recorded as the traveling with quite a crowd. Peter the hermit organized 40,000 people. Granted, a great many of them were disabled, women and children, and out of work knights.
Modern Radicalization started during the French revolution because before that terms like terrorism did not exist. The libertine thought that led the alcohol fueled revolution straight to the guillotines was not necessarily a causation.
One man’s insurgent is another man’s freedom fighter.
During the People’s Crusade, the precursor to the first crusade, there was a grassroots radicalization that had more to do with social conditions then religious fervor. The process of radicalizing people to go to the holy land also lead to the first xenophobic attacks on the Jews in the Rhineland.
Boris Kustodiev “The Bolshevik”
Bolshevik radicalization, in turn, was cultivated on the fertile backdrop of turn-of-the-century optimism with modernity.
“bread, peace, land…down with the provincial government… all power to the Soviets!”
The Bolshevik slogans served to radicalize Czar Nicholas’s military and working classes. Karl Marx had as little to do with the Russian Revolution as the French Enlightenment thinkers had to do with the French Revolution.
So while the Bolsheviks did most of the radicalization only 137 of the 1090 delegates at the council Petrograd we’re Bolsheviks. Radicalization and revolution are not always synonymous and then of course the fertility of the ground in which radicals are born is shaped by ideas. So as with the French guillotine, the extermination of the Romanovs serves as climax where the robustness of a radical movement is in decline.
The radicals generally don’t win, even revolutionary governments are formed by the moderates. Radicalization is an environmental inevitability of disenfranchisement and disparity. The error in modus is assuming that you can stop radicalization by killing or deradicalizing.
Framing the matter as stopping radicalization panders to an unsophisticated audience and fragments environmental phenomenon in to perceivably destroyable pieces. Islamic radicalization has a far less robust and organic history than that of the West. The perceived religion of the sword and modern day jihad are inventions of colonial powers used to radicalize tribal peoples under the Ottoman Empire by the West.
Radicalization, ritual shaming, and hallucinations
MK ultra was a program run by the CIA where LSD was used with other drugs accompanied by ritual shaming to ideologically break foreign agents and sympathizers. Ted Kaczynski, the Unabomber, was one of the known subjects of the study.
It is the failures in radicalization of programs like MK ultra and Guantanamo torture techniques that provide it’s most lasting effects. Most of the participants scattered across top tier higher education institutions were volunteers. Ted Kazinsky was 16 and had his mother’s approval. In Ultra’s latency Freedom of Information Requests indicate that homeless people were kidnapped off the street and patients in mental health facilities were diverted into the program.
The False Confession
In Guantanamo individuals wrongly accused of association with combatants couldn’t be released because they had been radicalized. Inquisition style torture lead to false confessions of Satan worship and witchood. Are these false confessions or simply a radical transformation into that which we seek?
A false confession is obtainable because it is human nature to confess. Getting someone to convincingly confess to something they didn’t do is akin to changing their ideology.
Radicalization requires a shift of allegiances but also an act, that is why the French Reign of Terror is relevant. Bin Laden’s AL QAEDA videos were labeled as fake news before the phenomenon had that label. Shifting the allegiance of the audience of information stream is highly accomplishable with the time stamp and authenticity.
Modern radicalization occurs more in the provocateur or groups of provocateurs. It is possible for an algorithm to radicalize groups who will go further to evangelize others. Radicalization is not a phenomenon that affects individuals but an environmental condition of hopelessness that creates landscape. The conditions of the MK ultra experiment simulate these conditions with psychosocial stress and social degradation. The barrier in dialogue is not a hedonistic treadmill of relativism: what should be considered radical, but a failure in addressing the material conditions that sow the seeds of terrorism.

We’re Hiring – Sopris Sun Editor
Yes on 4B
Locations: Letters Published Nov. 5, 2017
Affordable higher education is a service essential to the lives of many young Americans like me, and to the economy; local and as a whole. Colorado Mountain College provides that service for our community. CMC was created fifty years ago by a 2 to 1 vote, and it is to this day the only post-secondary education institution in our community; it remains the most affordable school in the state, and has the third most affordable bachelor’s degree program in the United States as a whole. Further, CMC provides free college education to our community’s high school students, giving them a literal head start when they go to college.
I write to ask you vote yes on Measure 4B. The growing property values in the front range are triggering downward adjustments in the Gallagher Amendment tax rates, compromising local funding for the college. Measure 4B would allow CMC’s elected board to recover any funding lost because of adjustments of the Gallagher Amendment rates bi-annually.
I want to be honest. I am a student of Colorado Mountain College, not a homeowner. I don’t pay property tax because I don’t own any property. Your vote on 4B directly impacts my life, and the lives of the young Americans of our community. As homeowners, you have contributed $32 per $100,000 of property value, to the college and to educating your young fellow Americans. CMC is asking, through 4B, to keep that rate at its current level to ensure that future generations of our community’s students have access to an affordable higher education. CMC’s board of Trustees are elected officials; they are responsible for operating the college efficiently, and keeping the cost among the most affordable in the nation.
Vote YES on 4B to continue to support this local college. Visit www.yeson4b.org and www.facebook.com/Yeson4b for more information.

Jake Buxton wants Burton Albion improvement after second half in Hull City defeat
The 10-man Brewers shipped three goals - and were indebted to Stephen Bywater for not conceding more - in the second 45
Hull City may have capitalised on Jackson Irvine's red card to beat Burton Albion 4-1 on Saturday, but Jake Buxton is more focused on his own side's performance improving.
Irvine's sublime 18-yard strike had the Brewers level just past the half-hour at the KCOM Stadium - and Albion looked well placed to push on for a positive result.
But Irvine was sent off for a second bookable offence only five minutes later and, while Nigel Clough's men held on to half-time, they were overawed after the break, Abel Hernandez completing a hat-trick and Kamil Grosicki heading home as the Tigers clinched an emphatic win.

Some fine close-range saves from Stephen Bywater late on ensured things did not get worse for the 10-man Brewers, with Buxton - who started as part of a three-man central defence and was then in the middle of a back four as Albion changed shape following the red card - called upon regularly to hold back repeated waves of Tigers pressure.
But while the ex-Derby County man is quick to acknowledge the quality he and his teammates were up against on the second weekend of the season, he also feels there is room for improvement for Burton .
Nigel Clough on first-half decisions he felt went against Burton Albion in loss to Hull City
"You are playing an ex-Premier League side who have a lot of good players on the pitch," said Buxton.
"They carried the ball well and we tried to soak up the pressure. But, as you saw, it was wave after wave after wave, and they moved the ball well.
"They have some good players - but we are more disappointed in our performance really.
Nigel Clough alongside Jake Buxton and Kyle McFadzean (Image: James Wilson/Epic Action Imagery)
"The first half, it should've gone our way. We had them on the ropes at times, and maybe we should've got our nose in front.
"Maybe if it hadn't been for the sending off, we might've been a bit more comfortable.
"We changed the formation three or four times within the game because of that, personnel had to play out of position.
"It is how it is. We dust ourselves down - it's a long season, we know where we're at, we know what we are up against and we go again against Middlesbrough on Tuesday."
As often happens in the earliest stages of the campaign, the weekend saw a glut of scoring across the leagues.
There were 25 goals in the Premier League games ahead of Sunday, while no fewer than 30 hit the net in the Championship on Saturday - including the five at the KCOM.
Buxton believes Albion may have been able to benefit from that openness if they had nudged themselves in front.
"It was very lively - as you saw on Friday with the Arsenal-Leicester City game (which Arsenal won 4-3) and the early kick-off between Watford and Liverpool (a 3-3 draw)," added Buxton.

"It's end-to-end stuff, it's the early part of the season and people are making mistakes.
"But we were on top at that point (in the first half). If we could've got our noses in front, it might've been different.
"We didn't and it wasn't to be.
"The second-half performance needs to be better, but I'm sure that we'll get better as the season goes along and with a few more additions to help the lads who were out on the pitch."

Everything about this episode was good except that it should have been in Season 7, not 6. We all know that Kai Winn flooded the Promenade with the chronitons because she knew they were gonna be picked up for another season. Nyuk nyuk nyuk. Nice choice of Jake to house the Pah-wraith though. GREAT twist. Did NOT see that one coming. 4.

This was one of the few DS9 episodes that I didn't like very much. I didn't hate it, hence the 2 rating but I didn't really like it very much either. It's been a while since I've watched it so I can't give specifics as to why I disliked it but it's not on my "re-watch" list at all.

BLM capping open pipes, mining claim markers deadly to birds
SCOTT SONNER
RENO, Nev. (AP) — Federal land managers have adopted a new policy aimed at capping pipes and plastic tubes on public lands that annually lead to the unintentional deaths of up to 100,000 cavity-dwelling birds, reptiles and animals that think they've found a safe, new home.
The effort includes the vent pipes on campground outhouses but the target is the millions of PVC pipes that were used for decades to stake mining claims across the West under the General Mining Act of 1872.
Once inside, the cavity nesters, rodents and others often are unable to scratch their way back out because the plastic walls are too slick.
U.S. Bureau of Land Management Director Neil Kornze said the executive memorandum he issued to BLM field offices on Thursday requires agency personnel to identify and cap or screen survey markers, pipes, vents, signposts, fences and other structures.
Environmentalists want protections for salmon in warm rivers
"This is a small change that will make a big difference," Kornze said. "Too often birds, bats, lizards, snakes and small mammals find themselves unable to escape from pipes and vents."
The American Bird Conservancy and others have been pushing for the change for years.
Mining companies started utilizing the PVC pipes with 4- to 6-inch diameters as cheaper, more visible alternatives to traditional wooden stakes about 40 years ago.
A Nevada law passed in 1993 prohibited the installation of uncapped pipes for marking mining claim boundaries, but didn't address those already in place.
As of 2014, BLM had recorded 3.5 million mining claims on land it manages in 12 western states — defined by markers on each of the four corners of the individual claims. Nevada has the most with 1.1 million claims, followed by Utah, 412,000; Wyoming, 314,000, California, 311,000; and Colorado, 285,000.
A recent examination of 854 pipes found 879 dead birds — an average of more than one per pipe — as well as 113 reptiles and mammals, said Steve Holmer, senior policy adviser for the American Bird Conservancy. The ash-throated flycatcher and mountain bluebird were the most frequent victims, but other species commonly trapped included woodpeckers, sparrows, shrikes, kestrels and owls.
A many as 30 bird mortalities were recorded in a single pipe during a similar study in Oregon in 2011, he said.
Bill to expand dredging moratorium dies in committee
More than 100 conservation groups joined the conservancy last year in a letter to the BLM and U.S. Forest Service urging an accelerated response to the problem.
The new order doesn't mandate any action on the part of mining companies or others with BLM permits, but Kornze said it provides guidance and assistance for those willing to take voluntary action.
"This is a positive step in the right direction," Holmer said. "The threat of open pipes can be easily prevented and today's action moves us closer to solving this problem."
Luke Popovich, vice president of the National Mining Association, said most mining companies stopped using the pipes years ago.
"Our industry has been a voluntary partner with BLM to address what is essentially a legacy issue and no longer practiced," Popovich said on Friday. "In fact, we are cited by BLM on a brochure as a partner in this migratory bird program."
Dana Bennett, president of the Nevada Mining Association, said that since 2009 her group has worked with the BLM and mine permittees to replace or remove nearly 15,000 hollow markers.

GZERO VIDEO: How is Trump trying to stay relevant?
Video of Trump Will Use Election Fraud Claims to Stay Relevant Through 2021 | US Politics :60 | GZERO Media
Dec 22, 2020, 3:15 pm SGT
https://str.sg/JRTK
NEW YORK (GZERO MEDIA) - President Donald Trump is building a pretty impressive political operation to stay relevant based on claims that the election was stolen from him, says Mr Jon Lieber, head of the Eurasia Group's coverage of political and policy developments.
In this week's episode of US Politics in 60 seconds, he says viewers should not expect Mr Trump to concede any time soon, even after Republicans have acknowledged his loss.
"He's raised over US$200 million (S$267 million) in the month since the election, and that political operation is going to keep him relevant in the media and in Republican politics for at least the rest of 2021," he said.
Mr Lieber also said that the United States will likely respond to recent Russian cyber attacks through sanctions, unless the attacks prove to be more than just an intelligence gathering operation and targeted at US critical infrastructure.
"In that case, you may see something much, much broader than sanctions, up into and including cyber attacks back on the Russians to make sure that they pay a price for having done this."
However, with the presidential transition in place, President-elect Joe Biden may not make a move any time soon and instead reset America's Russian approach, he added.

A Commitment to the Equitable Treatment of All Students on Campus
We are students, parents, faculty, alumni and university stakeholders who are alarmed by unprecedented levels of intolerant behavior on campuses today, whose goal is to prevent some individuals and groups from expressing their opinions, beliefs or identity, or fully participating in campus life. Speakers are being prevented from speaking, and students are being vilified, threatened, and in some cases even assaulted, because of what they believe, who they are, or who they are perceived to be.
It is the university’s obligation to ensure that all of its students are afforded freedom of expression and to fully participate in campus life. However, this freedom cannot be guaranteed to students unless and until they are secure in the knowledge that they are equally protected from the peer-on-peer harassment that would deprive them of their freedom. If students feel that school administrators address peer-on-peer harassment subjectively or with a double standard – responding promptly and vigorously when harassment is directed against some students but ignoring or downplaying similar behavior directed at others – it creates a sense of inequity and increased vulnerability, which in turn can lead to further suppression of students’ ability to freely express themselves.
We therefore call on all University Leaders to publicly commit to the following Equity Pledge:
University Leader's Equity Pledge
A Commitment to the Equitable Treatment of All Students on Our Campus
This University has a solemn responsibility to protect the rights of its students to fully participate in campus life. Intolerant behavior that attempts to restrict these rights and interfere with the ability of an individual or group to assemble, speak, and share or hear opinions, or otherwise impairs the freedom to fully participate in campus life, will not be tolerated.
One group’s freedom of expression cannot be used to denigrate, harass, intimidate and shut down the expression of another. This not only deprives individuals of their freedom of expression and social, political and academic rights, it undermines the very mission of a university.
To this end, our University is committed to enforcing relevant federal and state laws that protect the rights of members of the University community to free expression and full participation in campus life. These include laws pertaining to freedom of expression, as well as laws pertaining to freedom from harassment and discrimination in higher education. While laws prohibiting harassment and discrimination in higher education may be limited in their jurisdiction to the protection of individuals who share certain characteristics, our University is committed to applying the same stringent standard of protection prescribed by federal and state law to all students at the University, regardless of identity, belief, opinion or legally protected status.

United Launch Alliance recently rolled their Atlas V rocket out to the launchpad ahead of tomorrow morning's launch of Boeing's secretive X-37B Spaceplane.
At 8:24am EDT, the Atlas V rocket will launch from Space Launch Complex 41 in the 501 configuration, which has been exclusively used for national security missions. This is the sixth launch of the X-37B and is being dedicated to honor front-line responders and those who have been affected by COVID-19.
Alongside the primary mission, they will also deploy a secondary payload. A small satellite developed by the U.S. Air Force Academy named FalconSat-8 will conduct experiments in orbit for the Air Force Research Laboratory. This satellite also carries two NASA experiments; A material sample plate studying how radiation affects various materials, as well as studying the affects space has on seeds used to grow food. A third experiment sponsored by the Naval Research Laboratory will study how to convert solar power into "radio frequency microwave energy", to be transmitted to the ground.

NHL Rumor Mill – July 18, 2015
by Lyle Richardson | Jul 18, 2015 | 25 comments
Latest on Bryan Bickell, Kris Versteeg and Brad Boyes, plus recentupdates on the Capitals and Blue Jackets.
Latest on Bickell, Versteeg and Boyes.
Is Bryan Bickell the next Blackhawk to be dealt?
CHICAGO TRIBUNE: Chris Kuc reports Blackhawks forwards Bryan Bickell and Kris Versteeg are trying to ignore the trade rumors swirling around them this summer. The Blackhawks are barely under the salary cap for next season and must re-sign center Marcus Kruger plus leave sufficient cap space for additional moves if needed. Bickell’s cap hit is $4 million for next season, while Versteeg’s is $2.2 million.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: Bickell or Versteeg are likely to be dealt before the start of next season. Indeed, both could be moved if necessary. It won’t be easy, however, finding takers for either guy. Most teams have used up their cap space while many clubs that are well below the cap’s upper limit are under self-imposed cap ceilings.
The Bruins and Canadiens were linked to Bickell earlier this month in trade rumors, but the former seems more interested in adding another defenseman, while the Habs may have addressed their need for a big, rugged forward by acquiring Zack Kassian. It could take until September, when teams have had an opportunity to assess their respective rosters’ strengths and weaknesses, to move Bickell or Versteeg.
TSN.CA: Travis Yost is surprised former Florida Panthers winger Brad Boyes hasn’t been signed yet, citing advanced stats to show he can be a solid performer even when he’s not scoring.
SPECTORS NOTE: I think there is interest in Boyes, but teams will likely wait to sign him at a much-reduced price later this summer or possibly during training camp/preseason. There’s not a lot of teams with money to spend freely on free agents now. Interested clubs will probably try to sign him to a one-year deal worth just north of $1 million.
Blue Jackets, Capitals still looking to add to their rosters.
THE WASHINGTON POST: Alex Prewitt reports Capitals GM Brian MacLellan might not be done adding a player to his roster. Depending upon the cost of re-signing RFAs Braden Holtby and Marcus Johanssen, MacLellan could try to squeeze an affordable center into his lineup.
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH: Aaron Portzline recently reported Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen has found it difficult to add a defenseman this summer. They had interest in Dougie Hamilton and Paul Martin before those players moved on to other clubs. They also contacted the St. Louis Blues regarding Kevin Shattenkirk’s availability. Kekalainen said he’ll keep looking but won’t rush the process. He also feels his defense corps is good enough to win if it can stay healthy.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: It could cost around $11 million combined for the Capitals to re-sign Holtby and Johanssen, which won’t leave them much room to add another center. As for the Blue Jackets, they currently have enough room to add an affordable blueliner, but I suspect they’d prefer a dollar-in, dollar-out trade.
4th Hanson brother on July 18, 2015 at 12:49 pm
Looks like teams are waiting for Bickell to drop into the discount bin.
Denne on July 18, 2015 at 1:30 pm
A little bit surprised of Blackhawks non-moves. I thought they would like to simply shed themselves of salary first while taking only picks/prospects back. This would have created a small talent void (sure) but also instant cap room. I envisioned a Sharp, Bickell, Versteeg trade/salary dump to go down like that. With such high priced core talent on the team, they have to restock with several players on entry-level contracts anyway (wouldn’t bank on a cheap good UFA is available). Too obvious in the playoffs that their top4 D was THE VERY LEAST they must keep in order to help out Crawford and stay competitive enough to win again. Crawford is no Hasek. So with the reasonable money Oduya signed for, I’m surprised that Blackhawks couldn’t create more cap room to resign him. Some more room would also ease a Seabrook extension. Might be easier said than done, I’m sure, but I think they did a half-assed jobb of creating salary room, and now it continues to haunt them.
Matt C. on July 18, 2015 at 2:32 pm
I think teams have to wait until their players who filed for arbitration have their cases heard… Terms decided..
joe on July 18, 2015 at 3:16 pm
Bruins are very interested in getting a top 4 D-Man and a winger if they could fit one in…..have to believe the did try to move Kelly but no takers, they have Subban who they could package with a player or two in a trade
Bobby on July 18, 2015 at 3:31 pm
To me, the Bruins really didn’t do themselves any favours when they dealt Hamilton. I’m certain that had they made it known he was available, more than a few teams would have thrown their hats into the ring. From everything I’ve read, more than a few GM’s were surprised Hamilton got dealt, not realizing he was available. I just think they could have done better.
JDBiGC on July 18, 2015 at 3:38 pm
Every other team in the NHL should be looking at what’s happening to Chicago and take note. Paying Kane and Toews $10.5M each was too much and now Chicago is paying the price. If both had signed for $9M, that would still have put them in the top 10 highest paid players in the league, and Chicago would have and extra $3M in cap space.
Paddy on July 18, 2015 at 5:35 pm
YES! Couldn’t agree more.
Yes. Agreed. When fleshing out the roster, the missing $3-4M will make a difference as every team works under the same cap. I’m sure Kane/Toews salaries are justified from the money their names draw IRL, but as a salary cap team, you can’t load up that heavy on just two guys. The duo of Kane/Toews is not good enough to will themselves a SC win on a thin roster. I don’t understand why they both should make so much more than everybody else in the league. Maybe the agent was pleading that the 2013 TV deal and the many outdoor heritage classics had contributed so much to overall revenue that new salary precedent should be set. I think it’s dubious. The only thing that keeps Blackhawks Stanley Cup competitive from now on is that they have Keith signed on a long term (cap circumventing) contract at $5.5M.
4th Hanson brother on July 18, 2015 at 7:46 pm
Said the same thing when the 2 contracts were announced. So much money tied up in 2 players – they are committed that’s for sure.
CO on July 19, 2015 at 12:39 am
Not sure you can criticize anything they’ve done, they won the cup! They’ve won three of six titles and are favourites to win again. I’d rather win the post-season than the off-season. Their moves show how hard it really was to move salary this summer.
Caper on July 18, 2015 at 4:02 pm
I don’t think Bickel helped himself during the playoff that’s generally when he shines and failed to do so this year. He will be a tough move at that price. Boston need a top 4 dman after not securing a potential one in their trade of Dougie. Try and give away Kelley for a 6th round pick use the money and sign Franson for 4yrs 20m. I know he wants more but he isn’t getting the 6m he wants.
I don’t think Franson can get over $4M anymore. If he could, he would have signed already. It was obvious he was shooting for it before 1 July, but looking at the other signings, it doesn’t look attainable to me. Max 4 years at $4M or something might be more realistic. I thought a lot of the UFAs would get more this free agency, but I was wrong.
If he signed a shorter deal. Maybe he could get better money.
the Oilers offered the Bruins three picks (No. 16, No. 33 and No. 57 in 2015 NHL Draft) for Hamilton. The Bruins, however, wanted defensive prospect Darnell Nurse included as part of a package.
Oilers general manager Peter Chiarelli, who was fired by the Bruins in April, didn’t want to let Nurse go.
Hamilton wanted out of Boston
JustAnotherOilerFan on July 18, 2015 at 7:06 pm
The asking price to Edmonton was higher then Calgary. Boston felt pressured by the possibility of an offer sheet from Chiarelli. They weren’t really interested in dealing with Edmonton in my opinion.
It seems like more then a coincidence to me that Hamilton was given to Edmontons biggest rival for peanuts without letting other teams know he was even available.
Any trade offer involving Nurse is a deal killer. He is big, nasty, athletic and brimming with talent. Future top 2 in my opinion.
It seems like anytime I put in a new email address the comment will need moderation before published. If using an old email address I’ve already published with, I need no moderation in between.
Lyle Richardson on July 18, 2015 at 11:14 pm
There may have been a keyword which tripped the moderation. BTW, I attempted to email you but it was rejected. Anyway, I’ve approved the comment as there was nothing in it which required moderation.
Lyle Richardson on July 19, 2015 at 10:52 am
My comment below is in reply to you.
WTF? The reply function of this website seems to have f*cked up.
The damning point was not that Bruins nixed Oilers package of picks in a trade for Hamilton, what perplexed people was that universally people liked the proposed Oilers picks package more than the proposed Flames picks package, yet Sweeney chose to deal with Flames. I haven’t seen anyone think of it other than a personal snub on Chiarelli.
It will be interesting to hear Hamilton’s reasons for wanting to leave Boston – you know some Canadian announcer will get it out of him, somehow, someday.
had to search for that I thought the Bruins wanted a player from the Oilers
geoff204 on July 20, 2015 at 4:15 pm
Boyes would look nice on the Pens 4th line. 1yr $1.25M? but i’d rather see them use what little cap space they have on a veteran dman to help their young dmen like Pouliot Maatta and Cole. Scuderi is too slow now. why don’t they resign Erhoff? my guess is he wants a 3+ year deal and teams are balking because of his concussions. if the Pens bought out Scuderi maybe they could afford to sign Erhoff for 1 year $3.5M. or even Franson for 1 year $5.5M. let him rebuild his value for next summer.
FamedGazoo77 on July 20, 2015 at 6:20 pm
Chicago is worse NOW

NHL Morning Coffee Headlines – June 16, 2020
by Lyle Richardson | Jun 16, 2020
Sabres fire GM Jason Botterill, league commissioner Gary Bettman talks about the return-to-play plan, plus the latest on Patrick Kane, David Pastrnak, Braden Holtby, Josh Anderson, and more in today’s NHL morning coffee headlines.
The Buffalo Sabres have relieved Jason Botterill of his duties as general manager. They’ve named Senior VP of Business Administration Kevyn Adams as Botterill’s replacement.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: This news broke earlier this morning. I hope to have more about this in tomorrow’s update. It was only three weeks ago that Botterill received the backing of Sabres ownership for another season. It’ll be interesting to find out what brought about this sudden change of heart, as well as what it could mean for the coaching and scouting staffs.
LATEST RETURN-TO-PLAY NEWS
ESPN.COM: Emily Kaplan reports NHL commissioner Gary Bettman believes the league’s return-to-play plan will maintain the integrity of the playoffs without being too gimmicky.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman (Photo via NHL.com).
“I think everybody can feel good, based on the combination of the play-in round and the way we’re going to run the playoffs, that this will be a full competition which will bring out the best in our teams and our players,” said Bettman.
The NHL intends to return later this summer with a 24-team tournament involving a round-robin for the top eight teams and a qualifying round for the other 16.
Bettman indicated the league has worked closely with the NHL Players’ Association since games were paused in mid-March. The two sides continue to negotiate key details, including playing under a quarantine bubble and the location of the two host cities for the tournament.
The commissioner also said the league intends to test every player and member of each team’s 50-person traveling party daily for COVID-19. A player testing positive will be isolated and contact tracing will monitor everyone in close proximity of that player. Bettman said the league has been told an isolated case or two won’t affect their plans to go forward.
Bettman also said the league is in discussions with the Canadian government regarding easing restrictions for the country’s 14-day quarantine period for visitors.
TSN: Frank Seravalli reports Bettman admitted 56 percent of the league’s players remain outside of their respective NHL cities, with 17 percent of them still in Europe. “So we’ve got a lot of people to move around and we have to get people back from outside of North America.”
SPECTOR’S NOTE: The round-robin and qualifying rounds are a bit gimmicky, but necessary given this unusual situation. Once the playoffs begin, it’s the usual four-round, best-of-seven tournament.
The discussions with the Canadian government will affect the location of one of the two host cities. It’s believed the league wants one in Canada, but that won’t be possible if the government maintains its strict border protocols. That will also affect training camps for the six Canadian teams (Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, and Montreal) participating in the tournament. There’s already talk that some of them could hold training camps in the United States.
Phase 3 of the return-to-play plan involves training camps opening on July 10. The league has a limited time to get their players back to their respective NHL cities.
SPORTSNET: Hockey analyst and former NHLer Kevin Bieksa said several players he’s spoken to remain skeptical of the return-to-play plan. He said they don’t have their equipment and still have skated.
Bieksa added there remains several issues to be sorted out. “Not only with the safety measures and protocol and everything but I don’t even know if it’s been discussed with the (NHLPA) and the league how they’re going to divide HRR (hockey-related revenue).”
Some critics have dismissed the proposed tournament as the NHL putting the players at risk solely for the sake of profit. What the league is doing is attempting to recoup roughly half of its $1.1 billion in lost revenue from pausing the schedule. This depends, however, on the willing participation of the players.
With the salary cap tied to hockey-related revenue, the majority of players (based on the 29-2 vote by NHLPA player reps approving the return-to-play plan) are agreeable to this tournament. They aren’t being forced into this. If a majority aren’t confident their health and safety can be assured, they have the power to shut this down at any time.
AWFUL ANNOUNCING: cites a report in Sports Business Journal claiming the NHL is halting all negotiations for its next television contract until the end of 2020.
THE SCORE: Chicago Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane doesn’t believe whoever wins the 2020 Stanley Cup should have an asterisk beside their name.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: There are no asterisks beside the NHL teams that won the Stanley Cup during the Second World War when some of the league’s best players were serving overseas. There’s no asterisk beside the 1994-95 New Jersey Devils or 2012-13 Chicago Blackhawks for winning the Cup during lockout-shortened seasons. There shouldn’t be, and won’t be, an asterisk beside the potential 2020 Cup champion.
NBC SPORTS BOSTON: Bruins winger David Pastrnak is more upset about missing the 100-point plateau than the 50-goal mark. With 48 goals and 95 points in 70 games, Pastrnak was on pace for his first 50-goal, 100-point campaign when the schedule was paused.
NBC SPORTS WASHINGTON: Capitals head coach Todd Reirden said the starting goaltender role is Braden Holtby’s to lose in the playoff tournament. “Braden Holtby’s body of work in playoff games speaks for itself and how he definitely helped our team to win our first-ever Stanley Cup and was a huge, huge part of that,” Reirden said.
THE ATHLETIC (subscription required): Aaron Portzline reports Columbus Blue Jackets winger Josh Anderson will remain sidelined by shoulder surgery until after September.
LAS VEGAS SUN: The Vegas Golden Knights re-signed Ryan Reaves to a two-year, $3.5 million contract extension. The 33-year-old winger is completing a two-year, $5.5-million deal.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: Some observers suggest Reaves’ accepting less money to re-sign with the Golden Knights could be a harbinger of what many of this year’s unrestricted free agents could face when the season is over. However, he likely would’ve had to accept a similar deal from the Golden Knights even without the possibility of a flat salary cap for next season. Before re-signing Reaves, the Golden Knights had over $73 million invested in 15 players for 2020-21.
SPORTSDAY: Dallas Stars defenseman Roman Polak signed a three-year contract with Czech club HC Vitkovice. He’s still under contract with the Stars for this season but told a Czech paper he might not return if the NHL stages its playoff tournament. Stars general manager Jim Nill said the team can’t make a player return against their wishes. “If anyone wants to stay home, that is their decision. His contract expires at the end of this season, so no issues there.”
SPORTSNET: The American Hockey League has formed a return-to-play task force to prepare for its 2020-21 season.

NHL Morning Coffee Headlines – September 3, 2018
by Lyle Richardson | Sep 3, 2018
Nate Schmidt receives 20-game suspension, notable remaining UFAs and more in your NHL morning coffee headlines.
LAS VEGAS REVIEW-JOURNAL: Golden Knights defenseman Nate Schmidt received a 20-game suspension for violating the NHL/NHLPA Performance Enhancing Substances Program, a charge he, his agent and the team denied yesterday. The league didn’t reveal what substance Schmidt tested positive for or when the test was conducted. His appeal was denied by an independent arbitrator.

In a statement yesterday, Schmidt professed his innocence, claiming he never knowingly ingested a banned substance. He said the trace amount was “consistent with environmental contamination that I could not possibly have prevented.”
Schmidt cited one expert who testified on his behalf claiming the amount of substance found in his system ” 7 billionths of a milligram/mL — as the equivalent of a pinch of salt in an Olympic-sized swimming pool.” Another who analyzed a sample of his hair concluded there was no evidence of intentional use. “The Vegas Golden Knights track players’ strength and performance metrics and my results have remained constant over the past year.”
The Golden Knights also released a statement supporting Schmidt, expressing their belief “that the presence of a trace of the banned substance was accidental and unintentional.”
SPECTOR’S NOTE: We don’t know the full details from the hearings or what Schmidt may have ingested. Going by his story, however, it appears the punishment received was unduly harsh and perhaps unjustified. It’s worth noting the Golden Knights are standing by Schmidt. It’ll be interesting to see if the league or the PA will issue a statement. it doesn’t sound as though there’s another appeal option for Schmidt.
In the meantime, Schmidt’s absence will leave a significant gap on their blueline early in the coming season that could force the Golden Knights to address via trade, free agency or waivers. I’ll have more in my Rumors section later this morning.
THE HOCKEY NEWS: Center Antoine Vermette, left wing Mike Cammalleri, right wing Lee Stempniak, defensemen Luca Sbisa and Cody Franson and goaltender Steve Mason are the notable veterans remaining in this summer’s unrestricted free agent market. Others include forwards Scott Hartnell and Daniel Winnik, blueliner Kevin Bieksa and goalie Kari Lehtonen.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: A handful of these players could earn one-year deals via professional tryout offers. The rest face continuing their playing careers in Europe or retirement.
TSN: Former Montreal Canadiens and Nashville Predators defenseman Alexei Emelin signed a three-year contract with KHL club Avangard Omsk.
THE ATHLETIC (subscription required): The Vancouver Canucks need a healthy Chris Tanev to return to form this season.

Game recaps, Thornton and Kessel reach milestones and more in your NHL morning coffee headlines.
NHL.com: Rookie Danton Heinen scored twice and Anton Khudobin made 36 saves as the Boston Bruins edged the San Jose Sharks 2-1. Joe Thornton scored the Sharks’ only goal. It was his 1,398th career point, moving him into a tie with Hall of Famer Jurri Kurri for 20th on the all-time points list.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: Considering Thornton played a significant portion (seven seasons) of his 20 NHL seasons in the Dead Puck Era, joining the top 20 all-time points leaders is a remarkable achievement.
Phil Kessel scored in overtime as the Pittsburgh Penguins edged the Winnipeg Jets 2-1. It was Kessel’s 300th career NHL goal.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: For all the talk of how streaky Kessel can be he’s tallied at least 20 goals and 50 points in each of the last nine seasons. With 11 points in as many games this season, he’s on pace to reach those marks again.
Steven Stamkos and Nikita Kucherov each scored a goal to extend their points streaks to 11 games as the Tampa Bay Lightning nipped the Detroit Red Wings 3-2, handing the latter their sixth straight loss.
Radim Vrbata tallied a hat trick, Evgenii Dadonov scored twice and rookie Owen Tippett netted his first career NHL goal as the Florida Panthers crushed the injury-ravaged Anaheim Ducks 8-3. Earlier in the day, the Ducks announced defenseman Kevin Bieksa is out indefinitely with a hand injury.
Jean-Gabriel Pageau had a goal and two assists as the Ottawa Senators hung on for a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers. The Sens were playing without first-line center Kyle Turris (viral infection) while Flyers rookie Nolan Patrick is listed as day-to-day with an upper-body injury.
Ryan Nugent-Hopkins scored twice and Leon Draisaitl had three assists as the Edmonton Oilers squeaked past the Dallas Stars 5-4. James Benn had two goals and Alexander Radulov tallied a goal and two assists for the Stars.
Sven Baertschi netted two power-play goals and Brock Boeser had three assists to lead the Vancouver Canucks to a 6-2 victory over the Washington Capitals, who lost winger Brett Connolly to an upper-body injury in this game.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: The Canucks are among the surprising clubs off to a strong start (6-3-1) this season. They exploited a Capitals defense that’s still struggling to adjust to the departures of Kevin Shattenkirk, Karl Alzner and Nate Schmidt in the offseason and the sidelining of Matt Niskanen to an early-season injury.
Josh Jooris scored twice and Teuvo Teravainen collected three points to lead the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs. Meanwhile, there’s concern complications have arisen in the negotiations regarding a possible sale of the Carolina Hurricanes to a group headed by business Chuck Greenberg. Current Hurricanes owner Peter Karmanos Jr. is apparently concerned the negotiations aren’t progressing quicker. However, the two sides “have not turned their backs on each other.”
Pavel Buchnevich and Michael Grabner each scored twice to give the New York Rangers a 5-2 win over the hapless Arizona Coyotes, leaving the latter winless (0-9-1) in their opening 10 games of the season.
Luke Kunin and Zack Mitchell each netted their first NHL goals as the Minnesota Wild downed the New York Islanders 6-4. Josh Bailey collected three assists for the Isles. The Wild also learned sidelined winger Nino Niederreiter (high ankle sprain) could return to action next week.
Jonathan Quick turned in a 40-save shutout performance backstopping the Los Angeles Kings to a 4-0 win over the floundering Montreal Canadiens. Earlier in the day, NHLPA agent Dan Milstein created a stir by alleging Canadiens coach Claude Julien doesn’t like Russian players, believing that’s the reason behind Alex Galchenyuk’s struggles this season and the offseason departures of Alexei Emelin, Mikhail Sergachev, Alexander Radulov and Alexei Emelin.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: For a player agent, Milstein is quite ill-informed regarding the Canadiens. Galchenyuk’s offensive difficulties began long before Julien took over as coach. The Habs attempted to get Emelin back via trade after he was selected by the Vegas Golden Knights in the expansion draft. Sergachev was used to acquire Jonathan Drouin in a bid to improve the Canadiens offense. The Habs tried to match the contract offer Radulov received (and ultimately signed) with the Dallas Stars. They also wanted to re-sign Markov to a one-year contract but his insistence on two years led to his departure to the KHL.

NHL Draft Day Rumor Mill – June 23, 2017
Will the New York Islanders move Travis Hamonic this weekend?
Latest on Travis Hamonic, Jason Pominville, Sami Vatanen, Alex Radulov & more in your NHL Draft Day rumor mill.
NEWSDAY: Arthur Staple reports New York Islanders defensemen Travis Hamonic and Calvin de Haan appear to be the most attractive trade targets for other teams. He said there was “strong chatter” on Thursday that Hamonic could be on the move ” possibly for a young forward and a draft pick.”
SPECTOR’S NOTE: TSN’s Bob McKenzie yesterday reported of speculation the Isles could seek two first-round picks for Hamonic. They’ve obviously set a high price for him, but I doubt they’ll get two first-rounders. If they’re serious about moving Hamonic they could end up accepting a young player or first-round pick. We’ll find out soon enough.
CALGARY SUN: Eric Francis reports Flames GM Brad Treliving is working the phones in search of a defenseman. One option is Islanders blueliner Travis Hamonic. Another could be Vegas Golden Knights rearguard Marc Methot.
STARTRIBUNE.COM: Michael Russo reports Minnesota Wild GM Chuck Fletcher continues to ponder the possibility of moving one of his defensemen during the upcoming NHL draft. There’s been strong interest in Jonas Brodin all month. Marco Scandella has also attracted interest, especially from his hometown Montreal Canadiens, but by Thursday talks seemed to cool. It’s believed Fletcher has had lots of discussions with the Buffalo Sabres and Tampa Bay Lightning. Fletcher is open to receiving “an immediate player” in return but he could also accept draft picks and prospects, allowing him salary-cap flexibility to re-sign key players.
It’s also believed Fletcher tried to move right wing Jason Pominville and his $5.6 million annual cap hit. He has a 10-team no-trade list which rises to 20 teams by July 1. It’s thought Fletcher recently spoke to the Boston Bruins regarding Pominville.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: It sounds as though Fletcher might prefer moving Scandella over Brodin. No indication if he’s had any discussions regarding Matt Dumba. Of the three, Scandella could be most likely to go.
As for the 34-year-old Pominville, his production has declined over the past couple of years. Unless Fletcher is willing to pick up a good chunk of the winger’s cap hit or take back a toxic contract, I don’t think he’ll find many takers.
THE BUFFALO NEWS: Mike Harrington suggests Wild blueliners Jonas Brodin or Marco Scandella could be good fits on the Sabres blueline. He wonders if offering up Evander Kane would land one of those d-men, though he probably wouldn’t be a good fit under their salary cap. Harrington cautions that trading Kane would leave the Sabres searching for a scoring forward.
LOS ANGELES TIMES: Curtis Zupke reports there is still believed to be heavy interest in Anaheim Ducks defenseman Sami Vatanen in the trade market. There’s also speculation Ducks GM Bob Murray could try to move veteran Kevin Bieksa despite his no-move clause.
TORONTO SUN: Lance Hornby reports the Toronto Maple Leafs have been linked to Vegas Golden Knights defenseman Colin Miller and are also among the clubs that pursued Anaheim Ducks defenseman Sami Vatanen, However, the Ducks gave up defenseman Shea Theodore to Vegas to protect Vatanen and Josh Manson in the expansion draft and could either keep both or set a high price for them.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: I wouldn’t fully rule out a Vatanen trade, especially if the Ducks get an offer of a good scoring winger. However, the departure of Clayton Stone and Shea Theodore via the expansion draft could make Murray reluctant to move Vatanen now.
TSN’s Pierre LeBrun reports hearing Montreal Canadiens right wing Alexander Radulov seeks a six-year deal worth an annual cap hit of $7 million.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: If that’s what Radulov truly wants, he can forget about re-signing with the Canadiens. And good luck finding any takers elsewhere in the NHL for that price.
TAMPA BAY TIMES: Joe Smith reports Tampa Bay Lightning GM Steve Yzerman is in the market for a top-nine winger and a defenseman, Yzerman isn’t fussy if the winger is a right- or left-handed shot. He also said he’s had some talks with teams regarding a blueliner. Smith observes the Vegas Golden Knights and Minnesota Wild are getting offers for blueliners. If the Colorado Avalanche trade Matt Duchene for a defenseman, Tyson Barrie could be available.
PHILLY.COM: Sam Carchidi reports Philadelphia Flyers GM Ron Hextall could be in the market for a goaltender. His tandem for next season consists of Michal Neuvirth and Anthony Stolarz. “Hextall may make a deal at the draft or he might pursue the goalie free-agent market July 1. Among the prospective free-agent goalies besides Steve Mason: Jonathan Bernier, Brian Elliott, Anders Nilsson, Keith Kinkaid, and Ryan Miller.”
SPECTOR’S NOTE: Not many suitable options available for Hextall via the trade market or free agency. I expect he’ll do something via one option or another but finding a quality starter in his playing prime seems unlikely.
TSN: The Edmonton Oilers are reportedly close to re-signing defenseman Kris Russell to a four-year deal worth around $4 million annually. The deal could be in place by today.

NHL Rumor Mill – November 17, 2020
by Lyle Richardson | Nov 17, 2020
Some recent Leafs speculation and a look at Dougie Hamilton’s contract situation in today’s NHL rumor mill.
SPORTSNET: In a recent mailbag segment, Luke Fox was asked what might happen if the Toronto Maple Leafs miss the playoffs or are eliminated in the opening round. He believes team president Brendan Shanahan, general manager Kyle Dubas and head coach Sheldon Keefe should be granted one more shot in 2021-22. However, it could spell the end of the “Core Four” of Auston Matthews, John Tavares, Mitch Marner and William Nylander.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward William Nylander (NHL Images).
SPECTOR’S NOTE: Fox noted Dubas has resisted breaking up that core, pointing out the moves made during this offseason doesn’t project a sense of hot-seat panic. Nevertheless, a shakeup could be in store if the Leafs make another early playoff exit or miss the postseason entirely.
Matthews, Tavares and Marner each earn over $10.8 million annually. Tavares has a full no-movement clause. It could be difficult moving one of them under a flattened cap for 2021-22, Nylander could be the more likely trade chip. His annual average value ($6.96 million) is more affordable and he lacks no-trade protection.
Fox believes the Leafs are done for the offseason. He doesn’t rule out professional tryout offers (PTO), noting Dubas said he’s open to anything. However, the club’s lack of cap space makes it unlikely they’ll sign another UFA or go the PTO route.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: The Leafs are above the $81.5 million cap by just over $1 million according to Cap Friendly. They have no room for other additions unless Dubas acquires a player on permanent long-term injury reserve for additional salary-cap wiggle room or makes a cost-cutting trade.
NBC SPORTS: James O’Brien believes Dougie Hamilton’s next contract is among several big decisions facing the Carolina Hurricanes in 2021. GM Don Waddell is interested in negotiating a new deal with him before the start of the season.
O’Brien speculates Hamilton will want security after being traded twice. While the 27-year-old rearguard could find next year’s UFA market challenging, O’Brien notes high-end defensemen like Alex Pietrangelo and Torey Krug received lucrative deals this year. Even lesser blueliners like Chris Tanev, Dylan DeMelo and Joel Edmundson were among those receiving significant terms.
The Hurricanes must also re-sign rising star Andrei Svechnikov plus goaltenders James Reimer and Petr Mrazek will become UFAs next summer.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: It’s understandable that Waddell would be interested in signing Hamilton before this season opens. The puck-moving blueliner is in the final season of a six-year deal with an AAV of $5.75 million. Hamilton was in the running for the Norris Trophy last season until sidelined by a broken leg. Another Norris-worthy performance in 2020-21 could push his asking price to between $8 – $9 million annually.
The Hurricanes have over $52 million invested in 12 players for 2020-21. Big raises for Hamilton and Svechnikov could use up a combined $15 million. Given the uncertainty over next season and another flattened salary cap, the Hurricanes might not spend to the ceiling for 2021-22. The longer Hamilton goes unsigned, the more his name will surface in the rumor mill during 2020-21.

The latest on the Bruins, Blackhawks, Leafs and more in today’s NHL morning coffee headlines.
THE SCORE: Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney is willing to let Zdeno Chara take his time to reach a decision for the 2020-21 season. He said he’s been in regular contact with the 43-year-old defenseman and his agent. Chara is an unrestricted free agent who’s spent the past 14 seasons with the Bruins.
Zdeno Chara has yet to reach a decision on next season (NHL Images).
SPECTOR’S NOTE: Chara’s agent recently said his client is drawing interest from multiple teams. For now, there’s no indication the long-time Bruins captain is planning to leave Boston. The uncertainty over what next season will look like could be a factor in his decision not to rush into signing a new contract.
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES: Uncertainty over the status of Brent Seabrook, Andrew Shaw and Zack Smith is affecting the Blackhawks’ salary-cap flexibility. The trio missed the 2020 playoffs because of injuries and there’s some question whether they’ll be medically cleared to play next season. They could be placed on long-term injury reserve to start the season, which would allow the Blackhawks to address their goaltending and other roster issues.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: The Blackhawks have around $5 million in cap space with center Dylan Strome to re-sign. Seabrook, Shaw and Smith take up roughly $14 million.
TORONTO SUN: Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas doesn’t anticipate making any more significant offseason moves for the 2020-21 season. Dubas has added Joe Thornton, TJ Brodie, Wayne Simmonds, Aaron Dell, Zach Bogosian, Jimmy Vesey, Travis Boyd and Joey Anderson. He also brought back Jason Spezza. He doesn’t anticipate having to move out salary to re-sign restricted free agents Ilya Mikheyev, Travis Dermott and Anderson.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: Cap Friendly indicates the Leafs have $1.469 million in salary-cap space. Dubas could bury some salary in the minors.
COLORADO HOCKEY NOW: Avalanche forward Tyson Jost elected to sign his one-year qualifying offer worth over $874K.
Pending league call, it will be a two-year, one-way deal for Christian Fischer, per league source. https://t.co/pXmNLc6XtZ

NHL Rumor Mill – September 17, 2020
by Lyle Richardson | Sep 17, 2020
Updates on the Jets and Leafs, plus the latest speculation about Matt Dumba and Brandon Saad in today’s NHL rumor mill.
JETS TRADE OPTIONS
WINNIPEG SUN: Ted Wyman believes the Jets have money to spend in this offseason with Dustin Byfuglien and Dmitry Kulikov off the books and the uncertainty over center Bryan Little’s future following last season’s serious injury. He feels they don’t have to trade away a young star like Patrik Laine or Nikolaj Ehlers unless they’re getting a star player without a no-trade clause or a big-minute defenseman and a two-way, top-six center in return.
Wyman suggests general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff dangle the Jets’ first-round pick (10th overall) in this year’s draft and young players like Jack Roslovic, Sami Niku and Kristian Vesalainen. He thinks they could get something good, like Minnesota Wild defenseman Matt Dumba. Failing that, Wyman proposed pursuing unrestricted free agents like Travis Hamonic, Brenden Dillon or T.J. Brodie on defense, Mikhail Granlund, Alex Galchenyuk or Derick Brassard at center.
SPORTSNET: Ken Wiebe listed Tampa Bay’s Anthony Cirelli or Tyler Johnson, Montreal’s Phillip Danault, Florida’s Erik Haula, Philadelphia’s Nolan Patrick, Vegas’ Paul Stastny and the New York Islanders Derick Brassard as possible trade targets to address their second-line center need.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: I’ll be very surprised if Cheveldayoff moves Laine or Ehlers. Wyman’s proposals won’t land a superstar but I agree the Jets could get one or two good players from cap-strapped teams. TSN’s Pierre LeBrun reports they’re believed to have some interest in Dumba, but they don’t have a top-six center to entice the Wild.
Looking at Wiebe’s list, I don’t see the Lightning trading Cirelli and doubt Cheveldayoff will try to go the offer-sheet route to get him. Johnson, however, could be available but he’ll have to waive his no-trade clause. I don’t see the Canadiens parting with Danault. If they do, they’ll want a scoring winger in return.
Haula has been hampered by injuries. Patrick’s been dealing with a migraine disorder that cost him the entire 2019-20 season. Stastny was effective in his short tenure with the Jets in 2018 but the 34-year-old performance has declined since then. Brassard seems best suited for checking-line duty now.
LEAFS GM MUST GET CREATIVE TO ADDRESS DEFENSE ISSUES
TORONTO SUN: Terry Koshan believes there are blue-line options out there for Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas, but he’ll have to get creative to acquire them. Given the Leafs limited cap space, he doesn’t expect they’ll sign St. Louis Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo if he hits the open market.
Koshan assumes Dubas will acquire a right-shot rearguard. Free-agent options include Sami Vatanen, Travis Hamonic, Dylan DeMelo, Justin Schultz and Chris Tanev. He also wonders if Dubas will take another look at Zach Bogosian, who’s played well for the Tampa Bay Lightning in this year’s playoffs.
Dubas could make a splash in the trade market by shopping William Nylander but Koshan doubts he’ll do that. Trade chips could include Andreas Johnsson or Alexander Kerfoot, or perhaps the first-round pick he acquired from Pittsburgh. He thinks Minnesota’s Matt Dumba, St. Louis’ Colton Parayko, Anaheim’s Josh Manson or Carolina’s Brett Pesce would look good in a Leafs jersey.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: The Wild reportedly seek a center for Dumba. I doubt they’ll part with him for a third-line center like Kerfoot. I don’t see Parayko or Pesce going anywhere. The Ducks might listen if a scoring forward is offered up for Manson but Kerfoot or Johnsson won’t do it.
Dubas might have to go the free-agent route to land that right-shot blueliner. He’ll have to shed a little more salary to do it.
UPDATE ON SAAD
THE ATHLETIC (subscription required): In a recent mailbag segment, Mark Lazerus was asked if the Chicago Blackhawks might trade Brandon Saad before his UFA eligibility next summer. He doesn’t think there will be much of a market for a winger with a year left on his contract and a $6-million cap hit.
Lazerus also doesn’t see trading Saad making the Blackhawks better with the front office still in “win-now” mode. If they do move the left winger it’ll likely be at the trade deadline if they’re out of playoff contention by then.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: If the Hawks are willing to absorb part of Saad’s contract there would be more interest in him this summer. They could try to peddle him as a cost-cutting move, but they’ll likely have better luck shopping or buying out Olli Maatta or Zack Smith to free up the cap dollars to re-sign Dominik Kubalik, Corey Crawford and Dylan Strome.

NHL Rumor Mill – August 11, 2020
Check out the latest on the Maple Leafs and the Wild in today’s NHL rumor mill.
TORONTO SUN: Steve Simmons doesn’t believe Kyle Dubas should be fired, but feels the Maple Leafs general manager could be looking for work in a year if he hasn’t reversed the club’s fortunes by then.
Toronto Maple Leafs GM Kyle Dubas (NHL.com)
Simmons feels Dubas has to strengthen the Leafs after turning over almost half the roster last summer, weakening their depth in the process. The top of the roster wasn’t productive enough, the bottom of the roster not good enough, and the team defense was taken advantage of physically during puck battles.
Simmons called on Dubas to make bold changes via trades or free agency. He wondered if the Leafs GM will come back with goaltender Frederik Andersen next season or look for someone like Pittsburgh’s Matt Murray, who Dubas knows from their days with the OHL’s Soo Greyhounds. He also noted there are desperate teams with salary-cap issues, roster issues, disappointed owners, or those like Pittsburgh and Nashville that have somehow lost their way.
TORONTO STAR: Dave Feschuk also wondered what Dubas has in store for the Leafs. He notes that fans and pundits are calling on the Leafs GM to trade William Nylander, or Mitch Marner, or Kasperi Kapanen and/or Andreas Johnsson. While Dubas could stubbornly stick to his plan, Feschuk suggests he needs to adjust it, pointing out the Leafs had this season’s sixth-worst goals-against per game.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: The bloom is definitely off the Dubas rose. He’ll be under tremendous pressure to improve the Leafs this off-season.
Dubas isn’t afraid to make bold moves (signing Tavares and acquiring Tyson Barrie, Alex Kerfoot, and Cody Ceci). The problem is those decisions failed to address the Leafs’ glaring weaknesses. He must get it right this off-season or the calls for his dismissal will grow.
The Leafs GM has limited salary-cap space to work with, carrying over $76.9 million invested in 17 players. He and his capologist were able to free up sufficient cap space last summer to re-sign Marner, but they’ll have to get more creative this year to address the club’s issues. Fixing those problems could mean moving one of the Leafs’ top forwards, or one or two of their more affordable secondary scorers.
TWINCITIES.COM: Dane Mizutani reports Minnesota Wild GM Bill Guerin knows his club is a long way from being a Stanley Cup contender. “There definitely have to be changes,” he said. “We haven’t had success here. Things need to get better. That’s just the way it is.”
Guerin indicated he’ll attempt to land a true first-line center, indicating that will likely come via free agency or the draft. “Teams don’t trade No. 1 centers. They just don’t,” he said. The Wild GM also indicated he was unhappy with his goaltending this season and didn’t rule out looking outside the organization for help.
Guerin will meet with pending UFA Mikko Koivu and intends to get started on contract extension talks with players such as Kevin Fiala. Jonas Brodin, Marcus Foligno, and Joel Eriksson Ek. He also said contract buyouts are a last resort, but Mizutani speculates Victor Rask could be a buyout candidate.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: Guerin took his time evaluating his roster until midseason when he traded Jason Zucker to Pittsburgh and replaced Bruce Boudreau as head coach with Dean Evason. He’ll start putting a bigger stamp on this team through the offseason.
Several good goalies are available in this summer’s UFA market, but Guerin might stick with his current netminders next season to buy time for promising Kaapo Kahkonen. The current tandem (Devan Dubnyk and Alex Stalock) are under contract for next season, meaning one of them will have to be moved to acquire another netminder.
There aren’t any No.1 centers available in this year’s UFA market. Guerin could draft a promising center this year but that prospect won’t address that need next season. If he can’t find help in the trade market, he could try the offer sheet route. With over $65 million invested in 17 players, that’s probably not a wise course of action.
Rask has an annual average value of $4 million through 2021-22. Mizutani pointed out a buyout will leave the Wild with over $1.33 million in dead cap space through 2023-24.

NHL Morning Coffee Headlines – June 4, 2020
by Lyle Richardson | Jun 4, 2020
A growing number of NHL stars are speaking out against racial justice, the latest updates on the league’s return-to-play format, and Anaheim Ducks GM Bob Murray talks about his club’s future in today’s NHL morning coffee headlines.
MORE NHL STARS SPEAK OUT AGAINST RACIAL INJUSTICE
TSN: New Jersey Devils defenseman P.K. Subban pledged $50,000 to George Floyd’s daughter Gianna’s GoFundMe page.
“Change the game means change the narrative. The narrative has been the same: no justice. There needs to be justice. Justice has to happen, change needs to come. But we need everyone. We need all people to look at our lives and see where we can help that change and do our part.”
BOSTON, MA – SEPTEMBER 13: Patrice Bergeron #37 of the Boston Bruins poses for his official headshot for the 2019-2020 season on September 13, 2019 at WGBH in Boston, Massachusetts. (Photo by Steve Babineau/NHLI via Getty Images) *** Local Caption *** Patrice Bergeron
Boston Bruins center Patrice Bergeron pledged $25,000 to the Boston branch of the NAACP and $25,000 to Centre Multiethnique de Quebec.
“Let’s take real actions, with an open heart and compassion, I am determined to be an ally, continue to grow myself, and raise my children to be anti-racist.”
Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby and teammate Jason Zucker, Edmonton Oilers captain Connor McDavid, Montreal Canadiens captain Shea Weber and teammate Brendan Gallagher, Washington Capitals goalie Braden Holtby and winger Tom Wilson, Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog, and San Jose Sharks defenseman Erik Karlsson joined a growing list of NHL stars issuing statements speaking out against racial injustice.
THE SCORE: Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas believes his club can and should do more to combat systemic racism.
“I think what we’ve learned, especially in the last number of days, is that with the Maple Leafs and with our players and with our staff … we need to be doing more on the anti-racism side of things. Not only with our statements and our words and our tweets and what we put out there but with our actions, and we know that people will be watching us and holding us accountable in that regard.”
ESPN.COM: NHL analyst and former goaltender Kevin Weekes described his experiences as a black player in a predominantly white sport.
“The higher up I got in hockey, the more race started to become a factor,” Weekes said. “And I started realizing that, for me, I was walking over Niagara Falls on a tightrope with no safety net.”
Weekes called upon the NHL to implement harsher punishments for racially motivated incidents or slurs and to evaluate its relationship with local police departments.
“For an example, an NHL club should be very selective, just as they are with their players, to do hyperscreening of the law enforcement officials they use to work their venues or protect their players and their families. We’ll be a lot more diligent in the people we select to work with us.”
THE HOCKEY NEWS: Ken Campbell notes the growing number of NHL players speaking out against the murder of George Floyd and racism toward black people have galvanized the sport. He wonders if this will bring about necessary change within hockey.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: It’s heartening to see more NHL stars adding their voices against racial injustice, bigotry, and intolerance. However, they must back up their comments by actively working against racism within the sport and in society
Subban and Bergeron accompanied their words with deeds. Hopefully, other players will follow their example.
I’m not doubting the players’ sincerity, but if they don’t back up their comments with positive action, their words will ring hollow.
LATEST NHL RETURN-TO-PLAY NEWS
THE ATHLETIC (subscription required): Pierre LeBrun yesterday reported an NHL source said the league hasn’t yet whittled down its list of 10 potential hub cities down to two for its return-to-play tournament. Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Toronto, Vancouver, Edmonton, St. Paul/Minneapolis, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Dallas, and Chicago are believed in the running. The league could narrow down that list and finding suitable locations within the next two weeks.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: The recent protests against racial injustice in many US cities could affect the league’s decision. The potential Canadian locations depend upon whether the Canadian government eases its current COVID-19 border restrictions or deems NHL employees as essential works.
NBC SPORTS BOSTON: Joe Haggerty reports the NHL won’t begin Phase 2 of its return-to-play plan until all 31 teams can safely and legally reopen their training facilities. There are also complications involving foreign-born players being allowed to return to their Canadian NHL cities because of the country’s border restrictions. July 10 is the earliest date training camps could open, with the 24-team tournament beginning in late July or early August.
SPECTOR’S NOTE: Phase 2 allows the players to return to their respective NHL cities to engage in voluntary small-group training in their practice facilities. The league is believed to be aiming for mid-June to formally introduce that phase.
SPORTSNET: Ontario premier Doug Ford said the NHL told him it would use private labs to process COVID-19 tests of players and staff should the league resume plan this summer. Toronto is among the teams on the proposed list of hub cities for the return-to-play tournament.
DUCKS GM EXPECTS IMPROVEMENT NEXT SEASON
THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTER: Elliott Teaford reports Anaheim Ducks GM Bob Murray voiced his displeasure over his club’s poor performance this season. He expects improvement and more accountability from his players in 2020-21.
Murray singled out his core players. “No excuses,” he said. “All of our core guys have to pick up their games.” He also intends to meet next week with head coach Dallas Eakins and his staff in person if possible.
The Ducks GM spoke about his club’s free agents. “We’ve talked to them all,” Murray said. “In some cases, we have the hammer. In some cases, they have the hammer. There’s not going to be a lot of money out there (because of the coronavirus pause in play). The (salary) cap could be flat for a couple of years. Revenues could be tight.”
SPECTOR’S NOTE: The Ducks were a mess last season. Teaford cited their anemic offense, underachieving special teams, and inconsistent play.
Part of it had to do with their rebuilding roster, as several promising youngsters failed to play up to expectations. Some of it was Eakin readjusting to the NHL game after coaching in the minors. Some of it was core players like Rickard Rakell failing to step up. Murray can demand accountability but it remains to be seen if the Ducks can elevate their play.

Polo Life
Interview with Morgan Van Overbroek: “Polo has changed my life”
Published on: December 29, 2020
Filled Under: NEWS, Info
Dear Morgan, you are currently in Argentina. Was the journey very complicated for you in times of Corona?
I was lucky that some of my friends had already traveled to the country a few weeks before and so they were able to give me some good advice. I applied for the visa via the Argentine Polo Association. For me, thanks to my nomination as the head of SPA and as the organizer of a Ladies Cup at my Argentinian farm, it was processed very quickly: I had my visa after only two weeks while others had to wait much longer. We feel very privileged to be here.
Polo Training Blue Jeans
Did you need a lot of other papers and how long did you have to stay home for quarantine?
I only needed the visa and the printout of documents which I had filled out online before my departure. Argentina requires a two-week quarantine. That might sound challenging at first – but since our farm is around 900 hectares, my husband Sébastien and I, have ample space to stretch our legs. We play polo, visit our cows, watch the wheat harvest and I thoroughly enjoy doing lots of garden work.
For the first time, a Swiss polo club is sponsoring two teams in the Open in Palermo. How did that happen?
I think it’s a world premiere for a polo club to sponsor two teams in the Open. Our motivation for this is easily explained: We have been friends with Pablo and Matias Mac Donough for years. We were also close to their father Jorge until he passed in 2018. Min Podesta, playing for La Irenita 1, signed his first professional contract with us and we work with his entire family in Argentina and Switzerland. We also know most of the players of the 2 teams, so when they asked us for support, we didn’t have to think twice.
Was the Open in Palermo very different to previous editions because of the strong impact of Covid-19?
A lot has changed. No public audience was allowed until the semi-finals which of course creates a completely different ambiance. In the end, max. 1000 people were allowed for the semi-finals and the final – which of course is not much. But the best polo in the world was played and this is most important. We only can cross our fingers that with the availability of vaccines, the situation will improve in 2021. It felt very exclusive to be there.
You are the first woman in the world to head a polo association. Why did it take so long to make that happen?
I think it just never happened before because nobody really thought about this option. Neither did I! My husband came up with the idea. The SPA needed someone who actively plays polo him-/herself and who is able to invest enough time and energy into this job. And I tell you: This position is challenging! You have to represent the association and be the point of contact for club members and club presidents. It demands a lot of diplomacy to ensure that everyone around the table is heard and respected, ensure that polo continues to grow in Switzerland and make it shine outside of our borders.
How long did you think about the offer?
I made up my mind to say yes within a few days. The job sounded very interesting to me and I’ve always loved taking on new challenges in my life. I just needed to be sure it would not overlap my other businesses.
Why are more and more women discovering polo nowadays?
Many girls and women have a fascination for horses. But the love for these animals is only one aspect. Polo is gathering all the family together, add friends on top and your days are fulfilled with happiness and joy. Women are playing polo since about 2500 years, just like men. The recent developments of Ladies Cups and the empowerment of professional ladies players have changed the face of female polo. It is the only sport in the world where a woman can play more often than a man; starting as Junior players and then continuing to play Ladies and Mixed tournaments. Ladies are also very focused on marketing, offer excellent visibility to the sponsors and have most definitely claimed their place under the spotlight with their hard work.
Is it true that the Polo Park Zurich was a pioneer in this area?
Yes, a Ladies Cup has been organized there since 1999, while most of the ladies tournaments have only been organized since less then eight years.
It’s a fact that Covid-19 will affect our lives and also the world of Polo in 2021 too. How do you deal with the situation?
In March 2020, the numbers of infections in Switzerland was very high. By June, there was a clear improvement and many Swiss polo clubs could start their season. However, the tournaments had to take place in a much shorter period. Flexibility was the key of that polo season. Unfortunately, some of the largest Swiss tournaments had to be postponed or cancelled as foreign guests and players could not fly in and sponsors could not invite their customers to the events. We had a safe window during the summer and we used it wisely to play polo as much as we could.
What is the biggest challenge?
All clubs and tournament organizers need to stay very vigilant regarding the government directives. We had to manage a season with constant changes in terms of number of guests allowed to attend the events, travel authorizations, etc. I am glad the 2020 polo season is over; we are already preparing 2021 with a lot of care. Unfortunately, our winter jewel, Snow Polo St. Moritz had to be postponed to 2022. Let’s hope the vaccine will help us in the spring.
How many members do all Polo Clubs in Switzerland currently have?
There are 167 players registered in the Swiss Polo Association. These are only members playing SPA tournaments. Clubs have more players – including children – who play local tournaments or are still beginners.
Your husband Sébastien Le Page is President of Polo Park Zürich. How do you complement each other in your work?
I still remember vividly when he told me that being the new owners of Polo Park Zürich will not change our lives. Well, he was pretty wrong about that, as we can see (laughs). The construction of the new clubhouse and stables was a very challenging project. Consecutively, we needed to build our working team, with Francisco Podesta happily staying on as polo manager. As the club is growing, our team follows the same path. We are the fourth biggest European club in terms of members and tournaments played and we want to keep it as simple, as familial and as professional as possible. Sébastien has the vision of an investor. He thinks about long-term strategies while I am stronger in marketing- and communication fields. But what connects us in any case: We both follow our guts and on the field, we are the best opponents.
Additional question: How many Polo ponies or horses do you currently own ? And do you have a personal favorite?
We have 28 polo ponies at the moment. I have changed almost my complete string of horses over the past 2 years. At the end of this season, our pro Martin Podesta, gave me his best mare, Cleopatra, as she will have less pressure with me. I am blessed to have my ponies. Each one is special to me in terms of character, abilities, and it is therefore impossible to have a favorite. I try to spend as much time as I can with my horses, so if you don’t know where to find me, check the stables.
What do you love most about Polo?
I’ve tried many different sports in my life – and that’s why I can say for sure that polo is simply the ultimate sport.
In this sport, team spirit is the most important thing – and the teams are very small… People therefore fully rely on you every second of the game. Whatever your skills are, you have your place on the field and a role to play. You can play in the same team with a pro, a junior, a man and a woman. And polo is not over when the final bell rings. It has many more aspects.
Which for example?
Starting to play polo is embracing an entire new universe. You discover quite quickly that Winston Churchill was right; your polo handicap is a passport to the world. You discover new places, meet people who share the same devouring passion, stay curious and learn new things, discover more about yourself. Polo is fascinating, it is a way of living, eating and breathing.

Jrue Holiday Optimistic about Pelicans future

Jrue Holiday says he is optimistic about the Pelicans’ future. The New Orleans Pelicans were eliminated from the playoffs earlier this week after a lackluster effort in the bubble. While things didn’t go their way in Orlando, they still have reasons to look forward to the next upcoming years.
Zion Williamson is the main reason. Due to injuries, the season didn’t go how he wanted it to. Next year will be the phenom’s chance to start his ascension into the greats of the NBA. Then, there’s Brandon Ingram. The former top draft pick revitalized his career with the Pelicans. Ingram will be a priority in free agency.
Holiday said this about the outlook of the future for the Pelicans:
“I think for us, being consistent is about having time together,” Holiday said. “This is the first year. This is the first year, where we have some young guys, some old guys. But it was really the first year we’ve all played together. Honestly, it looks positive from here on out.”
The New Orleans Pelicans are young, so winning will be hard. Veteran leaders like Jrue Holiday are crucial for the Pelicans’ development. He is one of the last players from when the Pelicans last made the playoffs. As players like Zion Williamson and Ingram learn how to win, the team will eventually see the playoffs again.

TCFA Calls on Congress to Ratify USMCA
TCFA was among 119 Texas industry groups that sent a letter to Congress this week calling for swift action and support of the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). The groups reinforced the need for ratification of USMCA in order to provide certainty for the many business sectors in Texas, including agriculture, that rely on trade with Canada and Mexico, while in turn contributing to the U.S. economy.
“USMCA would create much needed certainty for Texas farm and ranch families who contribute to the economy and feed and clothe millions worldwide,” the letter stated. “Over 60,400 Texas jobs are supported by exporting agricultural products to Mexico and Canada. The annual value of Texas’ agricultural exports to our North American neighbors totals more than $7.2 billion. USMCA would only build on these achievements by breaking down existing trade barriers and opening more market access for products like beef, dairy, corn, wheat and pork.”
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the Mexican Senate passed the USMCA becoming the first country to ratify the new trade agreement.
“The Texas beef industry has flourished under sound trade policies. The beef supply chains between the United States, Mexico and Canada have worked together for decades to serve consumers at home and abroad a safe and consistent supply of affordable, quality beef," said Levi Berry, TCFA chairman. "We must protect this vital trade relationship by ratifying the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement.”
In a statement, U.S. House Ways and Means Committee Ranking Member Kevin Brady (R-The Woodlands) also praised Mexico and reiterated Congress’ need for swift action.
“Today’s action, combined with passage of Mexico’s landmark labor legislation earlier this spring, demonstrates Mexico’s solid commitment to serious reform and tough new rules to create fairer trade. Now it’s time for the U.S. Congress to pass USMCA as soon as possible to unlock the benefits of this agreement for U.S. workers and our local businesses. The longer Congress delays, the more our country loses out on new jobs, more customers for Made-in-America goods, and a stronger economy,” Brady said.

Clues Suggest Malware Is Moving from PCs to Mobile Devices
Researchers report signs that moneymaking malware common on PCs is being adapted to mobile phones and tablets.
Tom Simonite archive page
The fact that smartphones and tablets don’t need antivirus software or regular software updates is a major reason for their popularity. That could soon change, however, as security companies report evidence that criminals are getting close to finding efficient and profitable ways to compromise many mobile devices at a time.
If that happens, many more people would be exposed to mobile malware, and Apple and Google could be forced to regularly push out security updates for their mobile operating systems just as Microsoft does for Windows.
Smartphones and tablets don’t support the kind of criminal ecosystem associated with desktop and laptop computers. With PCs, people make money by using malicious Web pages and weaknesses in browsers and other software to install malware that steals login details or sends spam.
Criminals haven’t yet figured out a reliable business model for mobile, says Chris Astacio, a researcher at security company Websense. So far, attacks on mobile devices have been limited by the need to distribute malicious apps through mobile app stores, where Apple and Google take measures to screen out malware and quickly remove anything that does slip through.
Astacio believes that attackers will soon deliver mobile malware through Web pages instead, essentially the same approach that drives most infections on conventional computers. In a presentation last week at the RSA security conference in San Francisco, he reported evidence that the software currently causing most infections on laptops and desktops—according to figures from both Websense and another security company, AVG—could soon target mobile devices, too.
That software is Blackhole, which Astacio is investigating. It’s an example of an exploit kit, a package used by criminals to install malware onto people’s computers when they visit a compromised Web page. Blackhole, found on some NBC websites last month, assesses a victim’s computer so as to covertly offer them malware they are vulnerable to. The kit is an efficient way to distribute moneymaking malware at large scale.
While reverse-engineering the latest version of Blackhole, Astacio noticed that the software now specifically looks out for iPhones, iPads, and Android devices. Astacio believes Blackhole’s developers are preparing to target mobile devices with malware that can take control of a phone or tablet through its mobile browser.
“This all comes down to efficient hacking for mobile attackers—you already have the infrastructure set up for exploit kits to profile and target mobile devices,” says Astacio. “Mass mobile compromises seem to be the natural progression.”
Jaime Blasco, who leads the malware research labs at security company AlienVault, agrees with Astacio’s gloomy prediction. “The bad guys haven’t found the right way to get money from the user,” he says, “but probably it will happen.”
Mobile operating systems, particularly Android, are not particularly difficult to make malware for, says Blasco, and there are signs that criminals are working to adapt methods used to target PCs. “We have found samples of Zeus and SpyEye on mobile,” he says. Those are two common malware packages that have infected millions of desktops and laptops and that steal banking credentials. Blasco says that he believes so-called “ransomeware,” software that locks up access to data and demands payment to release it, will appear on mobile devices, too. Personal data on smartphones such as contact books, text messages, and photos could be a lucrative target.
Some malware for mobile devices has already appeared that could have a significant impact if coupled with the large-scale distribution offered by Blackhole. An Android app found recently by security company TrustGo on 100,000 phones in China spends victims’ money by abusing an SMS-based payments system. It was distributed and infected 100,000 phones in China through an alternative to Google’s app store popular in the country. Last fall it was found that some Samsung Android phones could be taken over through their browser, and other researchers have demonstrated similar attacks (see “How a Web Link Can Take Over Your Phone”).
Kevin Mahaffey, chief technology officer and cofounder of mobile security company Lookout, believes that new, profitable malware will eventually force Apple and Google into copying Microsoft’s approach to protecting its Windows operating system. In 2005, the company released a reinvented update tool for its operating system, which at the time was troubled by frequent new security problems. “Microsoft stopped everything to build Microsoft Update,” now a core part of Windows, says Mahaffey, and created a sophisticated workflow able to act quickly to patch new problems.
Apple and Google currently issue patches for their mobile operating systems only a handful of times each year, so many people can remain exposed to a vulnerability even long after a fix has been developed. Updates to Android devices are particularly rare because mobile carriers choose when to pass along Google’s latest upgrades to their users and many often choose not to.
“To constantly have to update those devices is a business decision they don’t want to have to make,” says Astacio.

Was the last ‘witch’ of Boston actually a Catholic martyr?
R RLast Updated: July 14th, 2020Church News, US News
(CNA/EWTN News, By Mary Rezac).- The last person hanged for witchcraft in Boston could be considered a Catholic martyr.
In the 1650s, Ann Glover and her family, along with some 50,000 other native Irish people, were enslaved by Englishman Oliver Cromwell during the occupation of Ireland and shipped to the island of Barbados, where they were sold as indentured servants.
What is known of her history is sporadic at best, though she was definitely Irish and definitely Catholic. According to an article in the Boston Globe, even Ann’s real name remains a mystery, as indentured servants were often forced to take the names of their masters.
While in Barbados, Ann’s husband was reportedly killed for refusing to renounce his Catholic faith. By 1680, Ann and her daughter had moved to Boston where Ann worked as a “goodwife” (a housekeeper and nanny) for the John Goodwin family.
Father Robert O’Grady, director of the Boston Catholic Directory for the Archdiocese of Boston, said that after working for the Goodwins for a few years, Ann Glover became sick, and the illness spread to four of the five Goodwin children.
“She was, unsurprisingly, not well-educated, and in working with the family, apparently she got sick at some point and the kids for whom she was primarily responsible caught whatever it was,” Fr. O’Grady told CNA.
A doctor allegedly concluded that “nothing but a hellish Witchcraft could be the origin of these maladies,” and one of the daughters confirmed the claim, saying she fell ill after an argument with Ann.
The infamous Reverend Cotton Mather, a Harvard graduate and one of the main perpetrators of witch trial hysteria at the time, insisted Ann Glover was a witch and brought her to what would be the last witch trial in Boston in 1688.
In the courtroom, Ann refused to speak English and instead answered questions in her native Irish Gaelic. In order to prove she was not a witch, Mather asked Ann to recite the Our Father, which she did, in a mix of Irish Gaelic and Latin because of her lack of education.
“Cotton Mather would have recognized some of it, because of course that would have been part of your studies in those days, you studied classical languages when you were preparing to be a minister, especially Latin and Greek,” Father O’Grady said.
“But because it was kind of mixed in with Irish Gaelic, it was then considered proof that she was possessed because she was mangling the Latin.”
Allegedly, Boston merchant Robert Calef, who knew Ann when she was alive, said…

5 Reasons Why: Monopoly is Bad Stuff
Author: Catgamer Published Date: 09/27/2010
I don’t have solicitors. I don’t even have a solicitor. But in the frequent cases when companies were a bit too eager to dig into my pocket anew, the “let me consult my solicitor” argument works wonders – especially when the employees know they are asking for something certainly necessary or not certainly legal. Then again, if I’m left with no option but to persist with a software or a retailer unless I want to be stripped of a group of products altogether, what good will my fictional elite squad of tuxedo-clad Oxford law graduates possibly achieve?
Capitalism pre-facelift – the less advertised appearance.
We are left with no choice.
Venturing for products in a monopoly-driven industry is a question of choosing between a retailer offering a few very fashionable pieces and a shop where you have heaps and heaps of all kinds of clothing. I realise the increased risk of committing a fashion faux pas in Primark, but I also have the pleasure of that choice, even if it shall resolve in my looking like a hooker.
Though we often complain of too much choice, I am convinced too little choice would ultimately pose an even worse situation. Human beings have always been obsesses with novelty – there’s no better example of this obsession than the pleasant sadistic pang in one’s stomach when our friends state they had no idea about “this new [insert band name, trend or book]” and we feel oddly content because we may now subtly, but effectively bully them into admitting they don’t keep up with today’s innovations. That is why a game industry limited to only the most popular releases with the most successful advertising and sponsors would very quickly bore us to death – or at least, its own death. In this process, computer games would also become prone to seasonal “fashion”– something that would seem impossible a decade ago when for hormone-driven teens, gaming was a rebellion against the superficial and judgemental lifestyles other people from this certain age group often practice. Traces of this are already evolving, and the character of the gaming subculture is slowly crumbling. The very concept of everyone playing the same games and hitting the shops for the “popular” big-money titles is an antonym of why the games industry is constantly developing, morphing and seeking new ideas – or at least claims it is.
2. A monopoly can request anything.
Assuming a situation where we are left with one exceptionally superior game provider of new products releases that successfully dominates an industry, a Monopoly in its crystallised state, our prospective is rather miserable. Though we are not slaves to any market (though many people would argue that in today’s “Buy this!”, “No, buy this!” culture we are), we also have no alternative should we be unhappy with the services provided. We cannot scoff at the unqualified Tech Support from a further unidentified Asian region, or say, “Fine then, I’m afraid I have no choice but to move to [insert name of a rival company].” Finally, even my personal favourite fails and I’m deprived of the pleasure of announcing: “In that case, should I contact my solicitors or will we be able to sort this out?” Now, I don’t have solicitors. I don’t even have a solicitor. But in the frequent cases when companies were a bit too eager to dig into my pocket anew, this argument works wonders – especially when the employees know they are asking for something certainly necessary or not certainly legal.
Then again, if I’m left with no option but to persist with a software or a retailer unless I want to be stripped of a group of products altogether, what good will my fictional elite squad of tuxedo-clad Oxford law graduates possibly achieve? Certainly not my personal satisfaction. In the end, in a monopoly driven games market, if I want to stay in the game – so to speak – I have to put up with any inconvenience. Along with the unpleasant fact that those may multiply like fleas.
3. Underground stays underground – and the industry becomes a very tightly sealed box.
This particular point I feel very strongly about because my own ambition is to achieve a Bachelor degree in Games Design, a craft I see as the compromise between art and an actual income which is probably not probable any time this century with just art itself. But predominantly, I am an observer and a gamer – I believe a varied market divided into bigger and smaller companies, but still sensible enough to give smaller and more experimental projects a chance to break through, is probably most gamers’ idea of heaven. Though neither money nor public attention is ever evenly distributed in capitalism, we can talk about a normal and desired situation within a market only if smaller enterprises have a chance of commercial success with enough luck, patience and hard work.
“She doesn’t know what she’s talking about,” you may think. “Portal was a small project, and look at it now!” Well, yes – there is no denying that it was not a fully developed game and neither was it done by an amount of personnel usually needed for larger projects. However, let me remind you that Portal was indie in its most superficial layer of appearance only – it was developed in collaboration with VALVe, one of today’s largest and most commercially successful companies, then advertised and sold through Steam and Orange Box, the first being a property of VALVe and the second, a pack of games all developed and owned by – oh, this is getting repetitive – also, inevitably, VALVe. And indeed, it was a good game, a fair game with some uplifting freshness, but its primary objective was to awaken a positive response to a domineering software and company – to present that a market slowly dominated by one group is opened to unconventional projects, to less commercial means and new, fresh designers.
Meanwhile, I remain unconvinced.
4. The magic is gone.
In the same way I love Christmas, I love the memory of unpacking my first-ever game; the rattling of the CD in the enigmatic packet, the curiosity until we open the box and the mystery is released into the air. Jolly good show. I even remember what my first game was – The Sims, and no, not The Sims 2 or The Sims 3, but the vintage classic itself. For a young kid I was at the time, who never played, let alone held, a computer game, this was an absolute first, and like all of those, possessed the same impatient quality of unwrapping Christmas presents, while finding someone who played the same game – a brother in arms… er, games – was always a curious occasion, too.
Today, gaming isn’t reserved to a certain group of in-jokes and its own rituals, neither is it represented by any real community and the industry lacks the new, thick substance it possessed in those earlier years. There are still great events out there organised so people with the same weirdness threshold can discuss newest releases, dress up as anime characters and bond through killing each other (on Xbox, of course). Nevertheless, though these groups are certainly not shrinking, their quality is. I’d even risk going as far as saying that because the industry is globalising and commercialising like everything else, the advance of technologies and graphics may be growing, but the class of story-telling is contracting. To game enterprises, and most importantly, to those financing the game enterprises, we have become just another target, a clientele with average needs, average expectations and average budgets they are aiming for and ticking off on the planning sheets. We are a marketing target worth big bucks – everything about our needs is estimated and every new project is optimised to suit these needs. The problem here is that never, ever can you attempt to please everybody without creating something deprived of that little, special word – magic.
5. And if the monopoly falls…
Imagine you only have one grocery shop in your town – and that you cannot travel anywhere else for your food. The very restriction and loss of variety would drive you mad and your fridge quite empty, but the real bad news would approach if the shop was to declare being penniless and the restriction rules would still apply. The only thing left to do would be to dig out the rosary beads and give out rations.
Hopefully, we will never have to face this problem in Europe or America as we have enough food in those regions to feed the starving nations three times over – or at least, much more food than we sensibly need. Meanwhile, we are already under such restrictions in other areas – as the recession progresses, more and more business juggernauts announce bankruptcy, many of which own large companies which, in the meantime, own smaller firms, and so on. This is a pattern incredibly difficult to change as the long history of capitalism with decades and decades of tradition behind it assumed such structure for maximum profit – it’s also quite destructive at worst and monothematic at best. Even if we are not in danger of a fall of the gaming empire anytime soon as it’s an industry worth billions and millions, one that wouldn’t be easily allowed into ruin, the dictatorship makes us completely cut off from having any influence on today’s quality of products, even though they are made with our money. In the future, we may be facing major quality issues, both from distributors and creators.
But of course, we may be facing them already.

Cyclocross Frames (6)
$1000 to $1999.99 11
Surly Straggler
See that fire road? How about that gravel grinder you've always thought about doing? Surly's Straggler is just the steed you need to explore all the backroads and sideroads. Manufactured from Surly's favored chromoly tubing, paired with a lugged chromoly fork, the frame is responsive, nimble, and showcases steel's inherent ability to damp road buzz. It also has clearance for 42mm tires, a full set of rack and fender eyelets, and custom rear dropouts that let you ride the bike singlespeed or geared. The wide-range SRAM Apex WiFli drivetrain will get you through all the ups and downs of any ride, and snappy SRAM Apex DoubleTap shifters make it easy to get through the gears. And control is easy with Hayes CX-Expert disc brakes providing tons of all-weather, all-terrain stopping power.
So what is this Straggler anyway? The easy answer is to say that Surly added disc brakes to a Cross-Check and this is close to accurate. People have asked them to make a disc version of their highly versatile Cross-Check for a long time now and almost everything about the two are very similar. Straggler is slightly different, though. The most obvious difference of course is that the Straggler has disc caliper mounts instead of rim brake studs. It'll accept rotors up to 160mm. The rear dropouts are unique, too. They're a partially closed horizontal design that accommodates singlespeed or geared drivetrains. They feature stop screws that thread in from the rear to further secure the wheel and to position the rear wheel for optimal shifting, plus a forward-mounted stop screw on the drive side to keep the wheel from slipping forward under the force of your gargantuan legs. The rear dropouts are spaced 135mm instead of 132.5mm like the Cross-Check simply because there are far more options for disc hubs in this spacing. Straggler shares all of the Cross-Check's braze-ons for fenders, racks and bottle cages. The Straggler's geometry is slightly different, with angles and tube lengths very close but not identical to the Cross-Check, but like the Cross-Check it's ready to take you just about anywhere. It's a day tripper and a weekender. It's a 'rough road' road bike. It's a cyclocross bike with no pretense about racing. It's a utilitarian townie. It's a light-duty touring bike. It's an all-weather commuter. And when you get tired of one set up, you can swap parts around and turn it into something else. We think that's pretty neat. - Fender eyelets at the dropouts, front and rear rack bosses and dual water bottle mounts, downtube shifter mounts - 100% Surly proprietary 4130 chromoly tubing. TIG-welded, double-butted main triangle - Forward-exiting horizontal dropouts with adjusters give you singlespeed compatibility and wheelbase adjustability to help you fit the tires and fenders you want to run with that drivetrain you want to run. - Frame is ED Coated for increased life expectancy
Surly Straggler 650b
See that fire road? How about that gravel grinder you've always thought about doing? Surly's Straggler is just the steed you need to explore all the backroads and sideroads. Manufactured from Surly's favored chromoly tubing, paired with a lugged chromoly fork, the frame is responsive, nimble, and showcases steel's inherent ability to damp road buzz. 650b wheels are a great 'tweener size, with speed, traction, and road smoothing comfort. It also has clearance for 42mm tires, a full set of rack and fender eyelets, and custom rear dropouts that let you ride the bike singlespeed or geared. The wide-range SRAM Apex drivetrain will get you through all the ups and downs of any ride, and snappy SRAM Apex DoubleTap shifters make it easy to get through the gears. And control is easy with Hayes CX-Expert disc brakes providing tons of all-weather, all-terrain stopping power.
Surly Straggler 700c
Straggler is a bikepacking-inspired road/gravel bike mostly at home on pavement but ready for trail duty when called. Born on Gravel. Raised on Pavement Straggler is tuned for cross-over exploration on a wide variety of terrain conditions. It's a day-tripper and a weekender. It's a "rough road" road bike, a cyclocross bike with no pretense about racing, a utilitarian townie, a light-duty touring bike and an all-weather commuter. It's a steel gravel bicycle that thrives on the road. Think of it as a "mountain biker's road bike." If you only have room for one bike in your life, Straggler can (and should) be your one and only. Straggler's capabilities go well beyond asphalt. It also lends itself well to light touring setups. We're talking frame bags, seat bags, and "credit card touring" rather than full-blown touring. Straggler also handles our 8- and 24-Pack Racks well, so you have some heavier-duty loading options. - Accommodations for racks and fenders - Forward-exiting horizontal dropouts for singlespeed compatibility and wheelbase adjustability - Clearance for 700c x 41mm tires with fenders!
Giant TCX SLR 2
With a superlight ALUXX SLR aluminum frame, matched with a composite fork and 12mm front and rear thru-axles, the TCX SLR gives you smooth, confident handling on all types of terrain. Disc-brake technology boosts control on tight CX courses or wide-open dirt road descents. Cyclocross-specific tubing adds pedaling stiffness, and the D-Fuse seatpost helps smooth out rough terrain.
We think by now, most of you get what Straggler is. It's a madly versatile bike that can be used for most types of riding and riding surfaces. Better still is that you now have the option of 650b wheel size. 650b wheels were popular for a long time many years ago on 'Constructeur' style bicycles and we all know how real things were back in the day…650b wheels strike a nice balance between the benefits of both 26" and 700c sizes. The smaller wheel allows smaller riders to fit well on smaller frames, produces a stronger wheel, makes fitting big-ass tires easier and are more agile than their larger counterparts. Straggler has disc caliper mounts instead of rim brake studs. It'll accept rotors up to 160mm. The rear dropouts are unique, too. They're a partially closed horizontal design that accommodates singlespeed or geared drivetrains. They feature stop screws that thread in from the rear to further secure the wheel and to position the rear wheel for optimal shifting, plus a forward-mounted stop screw on the drive side to keep the wheel from slipping forward under the force of your gargantuan legs. The rear dropouts are spaced 135mm instead of 132.5mm like the Cross-Check simply because there are far more options for disc hubs in this spacing. Straggler 650b has braze-ons for fenders, racks and bottle cages. The geometry is slightly different, with angles and tube lengths very close but not identical to the Cross-Check, but like the Cross-Check it's ready to take you just about anywhere. It's a day tripper and a weekender. It's a 'rough road' road bike. It's a cyclocross bike with no pretense about racing. It's a utilitarian townie. It's a light-duty touring bike. It's an all-weather commuter. And when you get tired of one set up, you can swap parts around and turn it into something else. We think that's pretty neat. - Fender eyelets at the dropouts, front and rear rack bosses and dual water bottle mounts, downtube shifter mounts - 100% Surly proprietary 4130 chromoly tubing. TIG-welded, double-butted main triangle - Forward-exiting horizontal dropouts with adjusters give you singlespeed compatibility and wheelbase adjustability to help you fit the tires and fenders you want to run with that drivetrain you want to run. - Frame is ED Coated for increased life expectancy

Tory politician resigns after 'fat mums' and NHS comment
Published: 2:48 PM January 5, 2021
Welsh Tory councillor Gareth Baines - Credit: Facebook
A Tory politician has resigned after claiming A&E departments were full of "fat mums in pot noodle-stained leggings" with their "snot-covered Asbo" children.
Constituency Conservative chairman Gareth Baines claimed mothers were were taking their children to hospital "for a day out" to "harvest Facebook likes".
In one message over New Year's, Baines wrote: "A&Es in Germany aren't full of fat mums in pot noodle-stained leggings/ pjs taking their kids for a day out at A&E to harvest Facebook likes because their darling little snot-covered Asbo fell over. Happy New Year."
Baines, who is also a councillor representing Chirk Town Council in Wrexham, Wales, said his comments, made in a series of tweets about the NHS, had been "taken out of context".
He has since apologised and quit his role as chairman of the Clwyd South Conservative Association.
Baines also posted: "Our NHS is treated as a sacred cow and cannot be criticised. Those arguing for reform are deemed to be Satan incarnate.
"I'm sorry, but after spending most of my life working on the continent, the NHS isn't the best in the world - it isn't one of the best in Europe. Pales when compared with systems like Germany and Norway."
7 Brexiteer rebuked after backing Nigel Farage's 'East Germany' claims
The Welsh Labour party has said the councillor's comments "shows what he really thinks about people who use the NHS".
This is terrible and shows what he really thinks about the people who use the NHS
— Wrexham Labour Party (@WRX_Labour) January 1, 2021
Baines said in a statement: "Whilst I feel my comments have been taken out of context, I do offer my sincere apologies for any offence they may have caused.
"I have also taken the decision to step down from my role as chairman of Clwyd South Conservative Association with immediate effect."

More on the Latino-Black war in Los Angeles
February 10, 2013 /2 Comments/in Costs of Multiculturalism /by Kevin MacDonald
Two Latino gang members were indicted on hate crime charges in an attack on 4 Black youths. Today’s LA Times article:
Authorities allege they beat a young black man with a pipe and then turned their threats and racial epithets toward members of a black household where he fled. …
[U.S. Attorney Andre] Birotte said the alleged actions of the pair were part of a pattern of racial intimidation of blacks by their alleged gang, including racial graffiti. “The Compton 155 gang has racial animus toward African Americans, and the gang has a practice of harassing and attacking African Americans with a goal of eliminating them from the west side of Compton,” he said.
“The gang proudly proclaimed that they are “nk” with ‘n’ standing for an unfortunate well-known racial epithet and ‘k’ for killers,” he said. …
The attacks on the family are the latest in a series of violent incidents in which Latino gangs targeted blacks in parts of greater Los Angeles over the last decade. Birotte noted that his office last year charged several Azusa gang members with hate crimes. In the Compton case, both men could face up to 10 years in prison for each of the five charges.
Compton, with a population of about 97,000, was predominantly black for many years. It is now 65% Latino and 33% black, according to the 2010 U.S. census.
Only 2 gang members were indicted despite the fact that around 15 were involved in an incident when the gangsters surrounded the house with 4 Blacks inside. “A window was smashed and they were met with racial slurs and epithets and warned they did not belong in this neighborhood.”
Again, as noted in my previous article and a repeated theme at TOO, the image of a harmonious multicultural future is a utopian fantasy—a fantasy that is endlessly repeated by our hostile elites. It is the fundamental fantasy underlying the campaign for White dispossession.

Here As In Heaven
Artist: Elevation Worship
Something special happens when we come before God with a heart of gratitude, declaring His power and goodness. The atmosphere changes and the Spirit of the Lord fills us. These songs from the latest Elevation Worship project, Here As In Heaven, declare the Kingdom of God is here among us. This new live album, recorded in front of a maximum-capacity crowd at the Time Warner Cable Arena in Charlotte, North Carolina, inspires us to worship with a new sense of expectation and purpose, to let our lives be the evidence of His presence on earth.
Filled with stirring anthems and shouts of praise, prayer is a central theme to Here As In Heaven. This album encourages listeners to bring the regrets and mistakes of their past to the altar and accept a grace that not only covers their struggles, but empowers them to rise up in victory and be resurrected to a new life in Jesus. This is a must-have album celebrating God’s presence among us, His church, in every moment and every situation; Here As In Heaven.

Thwarting the Duke

Night Shift Publishing
When the Duke of Danby comes to London for the Season, anything can happen!
Thwarting the Duke contains...
LADY HOPE'S DASHING DEVIL by AVA STONE
Lady Hope Post has suffered the most rotten luck over the last year. She's lost the love of her life. Her great-uncle and Machiavellian matchmaker the Duke of Danby has a special license just waiting for her somewhere. And after one tiny little phaeton accident in the park, the most devilish earl attempts to blackmail her over the incident.
Thaddeus Baxter, the Earl of Kilworth has every intention of restoring luster to the earldom he's inherited from his ne'er-do-well cousin, but when an adventurous lady upends his phaeton in the park, all of Thad's perfectly respectable plans are tossed out the window. What are the odds he'd cross paths with the same girl who'd nearly brought down his cousin's earldom in the first place? And what are the odds he'd lose his heart to her as well?
IT'S IN THE DUKE'S KISS by JULIE JOHNSTONE
Lady Emmaline Radcliffe always knew she never wanted to marry a man who embraced the rules of Society. But when her mother threatens to secure a suitable match for Emma if she cannot make one on her own, Emma sets out to determine if her girlhood infatuation is the love she's been looking for. Nathaniel did save her life once, after all. But when she finds herself in the arms of the gentleman's brother�the serious and proper Duke of Blackbourne�she begins to question all she ever thought she desired.
Lucian, the Duke of Blackbourne, is tired of playing keeper to his irresponsible brother. He vows to quit, but when his brother resolves to seduce the impetuous Lady Emmaline, Lucian knows he must save his foolish brother and the innocent debutante from themselves. Yet his plan to intercede goes awry when he finds himself drawn to the woman who is everything he was positive he didn't want in a wife.
But his brother won't give up so easily, and soon Lucian's well-intentioned plans are revealed. Now to kee

RSA Food, Farming and Countryside Commission Roundtable – Food and farming: health and wellbeing
Research & Impact Event
02 Aug 2018 | 01:00 PM - 03:00 PM
While farming might seem distant, even irrelevant, to some urban dwellers, we all eat food. What we eat, how we eat it and where it comes from generates heated debate, particularly in relation to the nation’s health and wellbeing. The food we eat is linked with shortening life expectancy and increased morbidity — heart disease, diabetes, and obesity related illnesses. Moreover, the science about what comprises a healthy and sustainable diet is evolving, challenging some of the prevailing wisdom about efficient and sustainable food production, not to mention socially responsible retailing. The impacts of these changes are unequally distributed through society. While diet-related diseases are driven by over-consuming unhealthy calories, the rise in the UK of food banks, food poverty and hunger in the last five years should also be a cause for concern. Couple this with the emerging research on the effects of micro-nutrients on the micro-biome, and micropollutants in the environment, the far-reaching and fast changing impacts of our food system become apparent.
Who is responsible — indeed capable — of addressing these challenges? Should governments consider more assertive policy in seeking to shape diets towards better health outcomes? And what role can other food system actors play?
Why has better public procurement – one of the clearest ways government can lead change – proved so elusive?
Which policy levers affecting farming and trade have the biggest effects on what we eat? Do citizens have a right to healthy food?
How can we maximise the public health and wellbeing benefits that come from closer contact with countryside and green space?

Crude Oil Falls Again
The benchmark crude is down for the eighth time in 10 sessions, nearing $50 a barrel.
Elinor Arbel
Updated from 1:55 p.m. EDT
Oil prices fell again Friday, with the benchmark U.S. crude contract approaching $50. Oil and gas company shares joined the broader market in a selloff.
May crude closed down 64 cents to $50.49 a barrel in Nymex floor trading, having briefly traded below $50 Thursday for the first time in about two months. Gasoline futures lost more than a cent to $1.483 a gallon.
Prices have slumped in the past two weeks, falling about 13% from their record high of more than $57 a barrel, as traders reassess supply-and-demand fundamentals.
There's growing evidence that months of high prices have crimped demand, while recent signs of an economic slowdown also embolden the bears. The private International Energy Agency earlier this week predicted growth in energy consumption this year would be less than previously forecast.
"People are re-evaluating economic conditions, as reports show a softening in the U.S. economy," said Mike Armbruster, energy analyst at Altavest Worldwide Trading, in San Juan Capistrano, Calif. Speculators remain a big part of the oil market, and many continue to believe prices will recover. But once assumptions begin to change, and institutional investors start exiting, prices could face a significant drop, Armbruster said.
"Reality shows that supply levels are building up, and as long as inventories are on the rise, crude prices will continue to decline well under $50 a barrel," Armbruster said.
Another force pushing down prices is the possibility that OPEC will increase output for the second time in a month.
The cartel took a step in that direction Friday, announcing plans to increase its daily capacity to 32.7 million barrels a day, 1.6 million more than the average capacity in 2004. The expansion reflects new projects in Kuwait, Nigeria and the UAE, the cartel said.
It is in OPEC's best interest to keep oil markets well supplied and prices at bay. A recent bill for drilling in the Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge has received the Senate's endorsement for the first time, and was backed this week by the House, indicating legislators and policy makers are interested in providing alternative energy supplies.
But many economists believe OPEC's new production quotas are real and sustainable. Jim Williams, energy economist at WTRG Economics, said that "the excess capacity reported today is very critical. If world demand doesn't grow more than it already did, it is indeed possible for OPEC to increase its excess capacity to about 10%." According to Williams, OPEC now has about 5% excess production capacity, while it had only 1.5% spare capacity during the last two years.
"Looking at growing supply levels, perhaps OPEC can deliver more oil after all," says Mike Ambruster at Altavest.
The Amex Oil Index was down 2.34%, and the Philadelphia Oil Service Sector Index was down 1.76%.

Urban Outfitters Furloughs Staff, Suspends Buybacks and Cuts Executive Pay
Urban Outfitters, faced with the coronavirus, is furloughing workers, suspending rent payments and share buybacks, and cutting executive compensation.
Dan Weil
Urban Outfitters (URBN) - Get Report has joined the parade of companies furloughing workers and cutting spending in response to the havoc wrought on their sales by the coronavirus.
At last check, Urban Outfitters shares traded at $14.81, up 1.7%.
“Since March 14 when we closed our stores to the public, Urban Outfitters has provided ongoing pay and benefits to all store and home office employees impacted by the temporary closures,” the diversified retailer, which owns Anthropologie, said in a statement.
“Even though our digital business continues to operate, the store closures and lower overall demand require a smaller workforce to support the business.”
So it’s furloughing “a substantial number of store, wholesale and home office employees for 60 days beginning tomorrow, April 1. Impacted employees will continue to receive enrolled benefits during the furlough period.”
Compensation for senior management will be reduced during the time that workers are furloughed. Directors will receive no cash compensation for the rest of fiscal 2021.
And stock buybacks are out “for the foreseeable future,” the company said.
Urban Outfitters is suspending hiring, eliminating bonuses for fiscal 2021 (which began Feb. 1) and delaying merit raises.
The company is also temporarily suspending rent payments and delaying or canceling some planned new store openings.
In addition, it’s extending payment terms for its vendors. Urban Outfitters is cutting its capital budget by more than $100 million by delaying or canceling projects.
It’s borrowing $220 million to make sure it has sufficient cash.
“We understand the measures are extreme, but they are unavoidable,” Chief Executive Richard Hayne said in the company’s statement.
On Monday, Macy's (M) - Get Report said it would furlough most of its employees beginning this week as the store closings forced by coronavirus take a toll on the Cincinnati retailer.
Last week, Tailored Brands (TLRD) - Get Report said that it was furloughing all U.S. store employees after extending its store closures until at least May 4.
Victoria's Secret parent L Brands (LB) - Get Report suspended its dividend and said it was furloughing workers last Friday.
Kohl's (KSS) - Get Report said it was extending store closures indefinitely while also furloughing its store and store distribution employees.
And on Tuesday Simon Property Group, (SPG) - Get Report the largest U.S. mall operator, said it would furlough 30% of its workforce to cut costs as the coronavirus has crippled major sectors of the world economy, CNBC reported.

Help Elect Rick Reed by Calling Voters on His Behalf From Your Own Home
By Texas Moratorium Network On February 20, 2008 · Add Comment · In Uncategorized
If you would like to help Rick Reed become the most progressive District Attorney in the history of Travis County, you can help by making calls to voters in Travis County telling them why you are supporting Rick Reed.
Go to texas.onlinephonebanking.com to get started.
Scroll down the list of candidates and click on “Rick Reed”. Then enter your name, email and zipcode and you’ll immediately be able to select any precinct to call in Travis County! A screen will then appear with your first voter to call.
Take some time to review that page before making your first call; after a couple of calls we guarantee you’ll get the swing of it. Be yourself and go off the suggested script, if necessary, to convey why you believe voters should cast votes for Rick Reed (For instance, he is the most progressive candidate in the DA race.

Climate grief: Mourning for our planet
Shauna Burdis
November 25, 2020 Lifestyle, Lifestyle
With overwhelming transformations taking place to our planet as a result of climate change, it’s totally normal to feel the effects of climate grief on our emotions.
Climate grief can be defined as a psychological response to loss that is caused by the devastating destruction to the environment. Emotional response to this climate grief comes in many forms, such as bereavement or anxiety.
Hearing the words “natural disaster” is bound to stir some emotions, especially when this catastrophe can happen in your lifetime. The term climate grief is not just reserved for the feeling of mourning or bereavement.
It’s an umbrella term to describe the anxious feeling brought up by climate change, which refers to a wider loss and anxiety related to the overall effects of climate change.
The obvious and increasing visibility of climate change, combined with bleak scientific reports and a state of denial towards climate change by some world leaders, is taking a serious toll on the mental health of society. Especially on young people who are worried that the effects of what older generations have done to the climate will be irreversible.
Flooding of coastal areas caused by rising sea levels, drought, food shortages and severe natural disasters are all of the terrifying effects of climate change.
Coupled with the latest report from the United Nations (UN) released in October, warning that without “unprecedented” action, by 2040 the world could be facing catastrophic conditions, it’s normal to experience climate grief or a sense of hopelessness.
The youth of today is perhaps the most passionate generation about the climate, since the effects could directly impact them, so it is understandable that they suffer the most from climate grief. There’s a sense of impending doom on the youth, their lives will be directly affected by the climate crisis and the older generations and those in power are appearing to do little about it.
Money and the economy is always an excuse when it comes to the climate, as world governments blame the expensive budgets it will take to try and reverse the damage of climate change and how they will impact the economy.
But the truth is, doing nothing about climate change will cost the world so much more. What is the point in having a stable, thriving economy, when there is no planet to live on because it’s been destroyed by drought and natural disasters?
Although it’s hard to forget about the looming climate crisis, there are ways to try and cope with climate grief. First you need to acknowledge that as someone living in a carbon-fuelled system, you are part of the problem but you can also become a part of the solution.
Go outside and enjoy nature while it lasts. Taking a walk in a park can be a therapeutic experience and helps not only with climate induced anxiety, but other stress-related and overwhelming feelings.
You need to make sure that you are doing your part for the environment, by using reusable bags, recycling, replacing disposable plastic items with reusable ones, saving electricity and water. These are all obvious steps, but by contributing positively to the environment, you can help heal the planet and relieve climate grief.

Massachusetts' Obsession With Low Number License Plates
Bay State drivers want them so badly the state holds a lottery for them.

Massachusetts is known for its bad drivers, strict vehicle inspections, and incomprehensible street layouts designed by cows hundreds of years before cars were invented. Another strange quirk of Massachusetts drivers is our strange obsession with low number license plates.
These short plates, such as 277, 6751, and H39, are rather meaningless to most of us, but they are a point of pride and a status symbol for people who have them. They are so popular, in fact, that each year the Registry of Motor Vehicles holds a lottery to assign low number plates that have become available—for an extra fee, of course.
Sometimes these plates can fetch a particularly high price. When Massachusetts introduced a "Cape and Islands" special plate in 2008, someone paid a whopping $147,000 to be plate number one, according to Boston.com.
In other cases, a low number plate is literally a family heirloom. Allison Feldhusen's grandfather was assigned Massachusetts license plate 432 in 1953. It has remained in the family ever since. When he moved to Maine in 1969, he gave it to Feldhusen's mother, who still has it today. Feldhusen intends to inherit the plate for herself one day.
A short license plate is easy to remember, which can be an advantage, especially for a small child. When Feldhusen was five years old she got lost in a grocery store. "'What's your mother's name?' they asked. 'Mommy.' 'Do you know what your car is?' 'MG, license plate 432.' So they paged out the car, and my mother turned up to find me."
These low number plates are not without their issues, however. "When tickets were handwritten sometimes they could only read part, and when that part was 432, guess who got mailed the ticket," Feldhusen says. "Never mind that it was on a black MG or a silver Volvo. If the numbers matched, there it went."
Still, if you live in Massachusetts a low number plate still appeals to you, you can enter this year's lottery until Aug. 27. Winners will be announced by Sept. 15 and contacted by the Registry of Motor Vehicles with instructions on how to transfer their current plates to their coveted low number plates.

Face-to-face fan consultation begins over new stadium
Lyndon Lloyd Monday, 2 April, 2018 0comments | Jump to last
Dan Meis began the next phase of supporter engagement over the proposed ground at Bramley-Moore Dock today with workshops at St Luke's Church.
With Everton having solicited feedback from fans with a survey based on 11 Key Principles that will guide the move away from Goodison Park, Meis, selected to design the club's new stadium on Liverpool's north docks, is meeting with fans at the site of the Blues' current home to gather further ideas and present initial concepts.
The first images of those concept ideas have been surfacing on social media and they feature components that have been prominent in the minds of many Evertonians when thinking about the new development, including proximity of the stands to the pitch, a large, imposing home end and the possibility of a safe-standing section.

The conversation around capacity has been a prominent one over the past couple of weeks, ever since CEO Robert Elstone's remarks at a Liverpool business meeting in which he intimated that the capacity at Bramley-Moore Dock would not represent a massive jump from Goodison's ~40,000.
Meis himself has also hinted that the maximum attendance at the new ground would be guided by the need for intimacy and to create an intimidating venue and he has backed that up again today.
Meis was quoted as saying that while 99% of Evertonians want a 50,000-plus capacity, he is cautious of going as high as 60,000, the number favoured by the majority of Blues.
According to the Liverpool Echo's Chris Beesley, he says that he believes in scarcity of seats and the importance of selling out a venue. He said that the last 10,000 seats in a stadium are the most expensive and bring in the least revenue."

Rahm lands $5M jackpot with win in Dubai
Jon Rahm was still getting his head around the biggest, gutsiest and richest victory of his career when the name of his golfing idol was dropped into the conversation.
Jon Rahm , The Canadian Press
DUBAI, United Arab Emirates — Jon Rahm was still getting his head around the biggest, gutsiest and richest victory of his career when the name of his golfing idol was dropped into the conversation.
By winning the Race to Dubai title on the European Tour with a one-stroke win at the World Tour Championship, Rahm was reminded, he became only the second Spaniard after the late Seve Ballesteros to finish a season as Europe’s No. 1 player.
“Did I? Oh man, I didn’t even think about that,” an emotional Rahm said, putting his hands to his face after forgetting the narrative he had spoken about all week in the Middle East.
Maybe that’s what landing a jackpot of $5 million does to you.
Rahm, the world No. 5, got up and down from a greenside bunker for birdie at the 18th hole to secure the biggest payday of his career Sunday — $3 million, the richest first prize in golf, for winning the World Tour Championship and a bonus of $2 million for finishing first in the Race to Dubai.
“I feel like I’m going to start crying,” said Rahm, who pushed Tommy Fleetwood — who also would have become European No. 1 with a win on the Earth Course — into second place.
Rahm, who started the final round tied for the lead with Mike Lorenzo-Vera, birdied five of his first seven holes to power into a six-stroke lead.
However, Fleetwood — playing one group ahead — finished as well as Rahm had started, tapping in at No. 18 for a fifth birdie in his last seven holes. It gave him a 7-under 65 and a share of the lead with Rahm, just as Spaniard was putting on the 17th green.
Rahm’s birdie putt there came up a few centimetres short so he needed a birdie on the par-5 last for the win. His drive was perfect, his approach leaked right and found the bunker, but he chipped out to 4 feet and rolled in the putt for a 68 as Fleetwood watched in the scorer’s tent. Rahm finished on 19 under par overall.
“Fair play to Jon,” Fleetwood said. “Cracking birdie down the last when he needed to make it.”
When Rahm was on the 16th tee, he said he recalled something Jack Nicklaus said when the 18-time major champion spoke about his British Open win in 1966.
“I heard Jack said once, about the Open Championship in Muirfield when he won, he told himself if you finish 3-4-4, you win,” Rahm said. “I told myself, ‘Jon, you’re on 16, one-shot lead, finish 4-3-4, you win the tournament.’ And I played three great holes.
“I have cruised to a win, luckily for me, before. I have never had to grind it out after losing a lead like that.”
Rahm then switched his thoughts to another golfing icon.
"Seve is such an idol for all of us,” Rahm said about Ballesteros, a six-time winner of the European Tour’s Order of Merit title. “And so are Sergio (Garcia) and Olly (Jose Maria Olazabal) and so many of the great Spanish players. And to think that I'm putting my name there before they do is hard to believe.
"I can't believe some of the things I've accomplished."
Fleetwood, who started the day four shots off the lead, was eight strokes behind after Rahm’s flurry of birdies in the opening seven holes. Still, he managed to take Rahm all the way.
“Proud of the way I played the last few holes, proud of my season,” said Fleetwood, who won the Nedbank Golf Challenge in South Africa last week to move into contention for a second Race to Dubai title in three years.
Fleetwood finished second in the Race to Dubai standings, with Bernd Wiesberger in third place.
Lorenzo-Vera shot 70 and placed third Sunday.

Fresh Lows and Big Blues
IBM's postclose 'surprise' miss provides a fitting end to a dismal session for the stock market.
Nick Godt
It's official: The market is not embracing this earnings season with open arms.
Major indices tumbled to new lows for the year Thursday, as a mixed bag of earnings and further concern about slower economic growth prompted investors to continue unloading their positions.
The potential for more trouble Friday arose after the bell as
(IBM) - Get Report
reported earnings both earlier and weaker than expected. In after-hours trading, Big Blue's stock was recently down 5% to $80.35.
Prior to IBM's surprise, the
fell 125 points, or 1.2%, to 10,279, its lowest close for the year. The
lost 11.8 points, or 1%, to 1162, also a new 2005 low. The
fell 27.6 points, or 1.4%, to 1946, its lowest close since Oct. 26, 2004. Over the last two sessions, the Dow has lost 229 points and the Nasdaq has given up 58 points.
Declining stocks whipped advancing stocks by better than 3 to 1 and downside volume was about 80% in both Big Board and Nasdaq trading: 2.35 billion shares traded on the
and 1.9 billion traded over the counter. Volume rose as stocks fell and selling accelerated in the final hour of trading, technically bearish signs in a fundamentally bearish day.
Weighing on the indices were a mixed bag of earnings and more bad news from
(GM) - Get Report
, which now faces legal troubles in addition to slumping demand and huge debt.
Investors were not even in the mood for
(AAPL) - Get Report
-picking, it seems. Instead, "slash and burn" may be a better metaphor.
Apple's shares have lost $6, or nearly 14%, over the course of the week, with more than half the loss occurring after the company's earnings beat forecasts by a wide margin. Apparently, the whisper numbers had Apple's results topping estimates by even more. And maybe the computer maker's shares, which have tripled over the past year, were overpriced.
Clearly, the underlying market mood remains somber, thanks to the overhanging effect of, until recently, surging oil prices. On Wednesday,
(HDI)
joined the growing bandwagon of companies feeling the pinch of higher gasoline prices.
Big Mac Indicator
was among those few companies raising first-quarter forecasts, which may provide some pop-psychology insight into the minds of consumers, who apparently are more in the mood for cheap comfort food than spending at retail stores.
Pepsi with those fries? First-quarter earnings at
(PEP) - Get Report
likewise, topped estimates.
Whether or not this is indicative of any underlying trends remains to be seen. But there's no doubt that consumer sentiment has been hit and that growth forecasts are being revised downwards across the board.
After last week's tepid employment data, Tuesday's record high deficit and Wednesday's weak retail sales data, Thursday brought more evidence of what some are so far calling a soft patch, which is prompting a rotation out of economically sensitive stocks and into consumer staples.
On Thursday, the Commerce Department said that business inventories climbed 0.5% while their sales fell 0.4%, the largest drop in two years.
As for the jobs picture, weekly claims for unemployment slipped by 10,000 to 330,000, pointing to an average monthly employment growth of more than 170,000 payrolls, still way off the growth seen in February, which had prompted some to forecast a "Goldilocks economy" scenario.
The strength of the U.S. economy over the past few years has been supported by consumers confident in the ever-growing equity of their homes. But even that's at risk, if we are indeed witnessing a housing bubble.
Speculation is definitely there in the real estate market.
reported Thursday that a number of buyout firms and hedge funds are circling around ailing retailers such as
(NMGA)
(SKS)
and even
J.C. Penney
(JCP) - Get Report
. According to the paper, investors are less interested in turning these companies around as they are in selling some of the hot real estate they own.
Theoretically, there's still room for real estate speculation if the
, facing slower growth, won't be raising rates as aggressively as thought a few weeks ago.
The 10-year Treasury note rose 5/32 in price to yield 4.34% on Thursday.
Just to be on the safe side, investors still showed interest in Thursday's auction of Treasury-Inflation Protected Securities (TIPS). A decent bid for TIPS also came from indirect bidders, the group that includes foreign central banks. This contrasts, however, with signs of waning demand from foreign central banks at this week's auction of five-year notes.
Friday's release of March import prices likely will reveal inflationary pressures building due to high crude oil prices.
International Flows
Amid more evidence of slower U.S. growth, the dollar has counterintuitively been rising over the past few trading sessions. Put in a broader contest, U.S. growth may be slowing but other economies are expected to do much worse in 2005. At least that was the assessment of the International Monetary Fund Wednesday. The U.S. and the U.K. actually were the only two countries whose 2005 growth prospects were revised upward by the IMF. Of course, their forecasts had not included the most recent economic indications.
IMF Managing Director Rodrigo Rato, meanwhile, warned about the global risks inherent with the huge U.S. deficits, which could lead the dollar to plunge and interest rates to rise sharply.
So far, this has not happened because central banks have continued financing the current account deficit. But there has been evidence that they're less willing to finance it. Alerts about South Korea and Japan surfaced several weeks ago, before officials from both countries quickly downplayed the noise.
"They can say what they want, the money and the numbers speak for themselves," says MG Financial Group chief currency analyst Ashraf Laidi. Japan, which owns more than $700 billion in Treasuries -- the world's largest position -- has been steadily buying less over the past four months, he notes. The dollar firming somewhat during 2005 may have provided a window of opportunity for the banks to unload some of their positions.
Tomorrow's release of the Treasury's International Capital Flows in March will provide more clues on foreign appetite for U.S. assets. Mostly, the market will want to see if capital flows are enough to finance the U.S. trade deficit. A figure below $60 billion could therefore spark a dollar selloff, Laidi says.
Another element to pay attention to in the TIC report will be the source of the money. In February, a huge surge of buying interest came from Caribbean-based hedge funds, not a great source of stability for the markets.

UK Rules › News › Safety › Postal Carriers and Dangerous Dogs
Postal Carriers Bite Back at Dog Owners
The current Dangerous Dogs Act came into force in May 2014 in the United Kingdom. It allows postal carriers to take a bite back at the owners of dangerous dogs.
DANGEROUS DOGS: The UK adopts tougher legal controls to protect mail carriers.
The aim is to create better protection. It should stop them becoming victims at work through dangerous dog attacks.
From May 2014 the Dangerous Dogs Act will also cover attacks taking place on private property in England and Wales.
It could lead to longer prison sentences for the offending owners. The previous law limited legal protection to public places.
Posties Bite Back across the United Kingdom
The Royal Mail welcomed the news. They expect the change in the law to make postal workers feel safer. It will award them the right to take legal action against the owners of dangerous dogs.
One spokesperson reported that there are well over 2,000 attacks per year on postmen and women. The attacks often lead to permanent or disabling injuries.
Dangerous Dogs Act 2014
Check out these changes to create the current Dangerous Dogs Act. The information is essential advice for owners of canines - big and small.
The amendments to the Dangerous Dogs Act came into full effect from the 13th of May in England and Wales.
The new laws apply to all dog owners. It does differentiate between dog breeds. Thus, the law applies to all canines - from a Chihuahua to a Rottweiler.
All dog owners should be aware of several key elements in the existing Dangerous Dogs Act. But, Section 3 is the most relevant.
The points in Section 3 of the Act apply to every dog owner throughout England and Wales. This section makes it a criminal offence for the person in charge of the dog to allow it to be 'dangerously out of control' in a public place.
Note: A dog can still be dangerous in the eyes of the new law even if it does not actually bite someone.
As a rule, the law considers a dog 'dangerously out of control' if it bites a person. But, the law still applies even if the dog does not bite, but gives the person grounds to feel that the dog may injure them.

Man City Agrees £35m Deal for Benfica Goalkeeper
Manchester City has agreed a deal with Benfica for the £35million signing of goalkeeper Ederson Moraes, according to the Portuguese champions.
The 23-year-old broke into the Benfica team last March and has made 37 appearances for the club.
“Benfica has reached agreement with Manchester City for the amount of 40m euros,” the club told the Portuguese stock exchange.
They also confirmed 50% of the fee will be paid to “third parties”.
City sources say the transfer cannot be concluded until the third-party element is resolved to the Premier League’s satisfaction.
After Sunday’s 2-1 Portuguese Cup final win over Vitoria Guimaraes, Moraes said it was “probably” his final appearance for Benfica.
The Brazil Under-23 cap is yet to make his full international debut, but is in the squad for the forthcoming friendlies against Argentina and Australia.
City manager Pep Guardiola has been interested in Ederson for some time and made room in his squad by releasing Willy Caballero on Friday.
Earlier this week, the club’s England goalkeeper Joe Hart confirmed he would be leaving Torino after a season-long loan.
Ederson’s arrival will place more pressure on Claudio Bravo, who has had a torrid time after arriving from Barcelona to take over from Joe Hart as City’s number one.
Guardiola made his first move of the summer with the £43m signing of Monaco’s Portuguese playmaker Bernardo Silva on Friday.
He is also understood to be interested in Monaco and France full-back Benjamin Mendy, 22.

Home Latest Summary of HRH Appolus Chu’s ‘EndSARS Youth Protest 2020: A Case Study...
Summary of HRH Appolus Chu’s ‘EndSARS Youth Protest 2020: A Case Study of Protests and Lessons for Nigeria’
On October 8, 2020, when some Nigerian youths started a peaceful protest asking for the proscription of the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (SARS) – a tactical unit of the Nigeria Police Force – which they accused of going beyond their constitutional boundaries in the discharge of their duties, nobody expected that by the time the dust finally settled in the aftermath of the protest by October 28, 2020 the country would have been as badly affected as it was.
Apart from ending SARS, the protesters agitated for a reform of the Nigeria Police Force in general, including improvement in the welfare and working conditions of the police as a way of putting an end to alleged cases of impunity and highhandedness by law enforcement agents who had taken an oath “to serve and to protect” Nigerians.
The Federal Government quickly responded to the protesters demands by announcing the nationwide disbandment of SARS on October 11, 2020 and inviting leaders of the protest to a meeting to deliberate on other issues they raised. At the state level, a number of state governments quickly set up panels of enquiry to look into the issues raised by the protesting youths. Sadly, poor or lack of clearly defined leadership on the side of the protesting youths left the proposed meeting with the Federal Government lingering as the youths perhaps tried to put themselves together, until hoodlums hijacked the protests and it degenerated into something else. Government and private establishments were looted, destroyed and set ablaze, including over 20 police stations across the country, and the police was helpless to do anything because of the senseless blackmail the generality of the public had levied against the force by painting every police man and woman as bad. That negative public opinion which used the misdeeds of a few to rubbish the entire force, succeeded in killing the morale of the police and causing them to stay away from the streets for a period of time. This absence of the police from the streets only heightened fear, uncertainty and insecurity among Nigerians since there was no law enforcement to checkmate the excesses of the hoodlums who hijacked the peaceful protest. The result was that in addition to the wanton destruction of property, many innocent lives – on both the part of security agencies and civilians – were lost, as criminals had a field day perpetuating all manner of crimes. Thankfully, the Government acted with wisdom and maturity, thereby preventing the escalation of the situation. Military personnel, other law enforcement agents and senior ranking police officers, traditional rulers and opinion leaders spared no efforts in interacting with members of the public and urging them to maintain the peace in their communities and neighbourhoods.
The EndSARS 2020 protest was not the first protest in Nigeria’s history. Four years after Independence, in 1964, protests about the outcome of the general elections in the then Western Region degenerated into killings and lynching (the infamous wettie) that historians have traced as one of the remote causes of the Nigerian Civil War. We had the Ali-must-go student protests of the 1970s, June 12 protests of the 1990s and the fuel hike protests of January 2012. Questions arising from these protests are: What lessons, if any, have we as a nation learnt from the protests? Has the country been able to harness the experiences from past protests to avoid or manage protests in the future?
Protests, so long as they are peaceful, are good. They are like constructive criticisms which no progressive government or leadership can do without. Critics and criticisms provide necessary feedback for the improvement of leadership. Any administration that wants to succeed must learn to listen to what critics are saying. That is because the critic is only calling the attention of government and leadership to areas where they are failing or weak. When leadership acts on that exposed weakness and improves on its service to the people, that leadership will be celebrated and praised by the people by the time they leave office.
This book seeks to document the EndSARS 2020 protest as a case study of protests in Nigeria and how the country can hopefully learn from it to forestall the recurrence of future protests. It serves as an archival material that future generations can draw from in the event that they, too, need to organize peaceful protests. It is also hoped that future administrations of Government will learn a thing or two about management of protests, from the way this administration handled the EndSARS 2020 protests. Ultimately, it is hoped that this documentation will give both the Government and the people a clearer insight into tackling social upheavals in future by prompting them to ask at the onset of every protest: What are the preventive measures that past generations of Nigerians applied in tackling social upheavals and how can we improve on it? How do we protect peaceful protesters from harm and attacks as they exercise their constitutional right to protest? How can protesters and Government alike prevent hoodlums and miscreants from hijacking peaceful protests? What can we do differently so that businesses can continue to run without interruption, while peaceful protests go on; and Government does not provoke the protesters by neglecting them or ignoring their demands? What do we learn from the EndSARS Youth Protests that can help us avoid or better manage future protests so we do not have a breakdown of law and order and shutting down of the economy, like the nation witnessed in October 2020?

Admire ten spectacular waterfalls at Silver Falls State Park.
Hike behind breathtaking waterfalls at this historic Willamette Valley nature area.
Updated Apr. 30, 2020 3 min read
Famous for its abundance of picturesque waterfalls, Silver Falls State Park is the largest state park in Oregon at 9,200 acres (3723 hectares) and one of the most popular. Located 60 miles (92 km) south of Portland in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, the park draws more than 1,100,000 visitors each year.
The Silver Falls area was inhabited by the Kalapuya and Mollala tribes for thousands of years before the first white settlers arrived in the area. In the 1880s, homesteaders founded Silver Falls City; at its peak, the town housed more than 200 residents and several shops, houses and sawmills. In the 1930s, the area was converted into a park that now offers hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing, camping, swimming and much more.
Visitors can admire the breathtaking view from above before descending into a cave behind the falls along the Maple Ridge Loop.
Silver Falls is best known for its many magnificent waterfalls. Its most famous feature, the 177-foot (54 m) South Falls, is only steps away from the South Falls Day Use Area. Visitors can admire the breathtaking view from above before descending into a cave behind the falls along the Maple Ridge Loop. More advanced hikers can follow the 5-mile (8 km) Winter Falls Loop past seven incredible water features, including the two-tiered Double Falls. Expect to spot a wide variety of flora and fauna, such as butterflies, salamanders, rabbits and deer.
For the full falls experience, follow the Trail of Ten Falls, a moderate 8-mile (13 km) hike that loops from the South Falls Day Use Area to the North Falls Trailhead and back. This roughly three-hour hike is a designated National Recreation Trail, and allows visitors to walk directly behind four different waterfalls — talk about a perfect photo op! (Pro tip: To maximize your waterfall viewings, take an out-and-back route along the Canyon Trail; the Rim Trail parallels a highway and is less scenic than the rest of the hike.)
The historic South Falls Lodge is open 365 days a year.
The South Falls Day Use Area boasts an incredible array of amenities and facilities. Families can play at the park’s swimming area, horseshoe pits and playground before relaxing in a picnic shelter or spreading out on the spacious lawn. The historic South Falls Lodge is open 365 days a year and features a cozy fire (and free Wi-Fi) for rainy days, while the adjoining café supplies hungry hikers with sandwiches, snacks, coffee and ice cream. The nearby Silver Falls Nature Store brims with souvenirs, memorabilia and crafts by local artisans. Stop by before your hike to pick up a map and a hand-carved walking stick. (Note: Parking at the South Falls Day Use Area requires a $5 day-use pass.)

Ancient fast food eatery excavated in Pompeii: 'We know what they were eating that day'
ROME — A fast-food eatery at Pompeii has been excavated, helping to reveal dishes that were popular for the citizens of the ancient Roman city who were partial to eating out.
Pompeii Archaeological Park's longtime chief, Massimo Osanna said Saturday that while some 80 such fast-foods have been found at Pompeii, it is the first time such a hot-food-drink eatery — known as a thermopolium — was completely unearthed.
Pompeii was destroyed by the volcanic eruption of Mount Vesuvius, which is near present-day Naples. Much of the ancient city still lies unexcavated. The site is one of Italy's most popular tourist attractions.
A segment of the fast-food counter was partially dug up in 2019 during work to shore up Pompeii's oft-crumbling ruins. Since then, archaeologists kept digging, revealing a multi-sided-counter, with typical wide holes inserted into its top. The countertop held deep vessels for hot foods, not unlike soup containers nestled into modern-day salad bars.

Plant and animal specialists are still analyzing remains from the site, with its counter frescoed with a figure of an undersea nymph astride a horse. Images of two upside-down mallards and a rooster, whose plumage was painted with the typical vivid color known as Pompeiian red, also brightened the eatery and likely served to advertise the menu.
Another fresco depicted a dog on a leash, perhaps not unlike modern reminders to leash pets. Vulgar graffiti were inscribed on the painting's frame.
Valeria Amoretti, a Pompeii staff anthropologist, said "initial analyses confirm how the painted images represent, at least in part, the foods and beverages effectively sold inside." Her statement noted that duck bone fragment was found in one of the containers, along with remains from goats, pigs, fish and snails. At the bottom of a wine container were traces of ground fava beans, which in ancient times were added to wine for flavor and to lighten its color, Amoretti said.
"We know what they were eating that day," said Osanna, referring to the day of Pompeii's destruction in 79 A.D. The food remains indicated "what's popular with the common folk," Osanna told Rai state TV, noting that street-food places weren't frequented by the Roman elite.
One surprise find was the complete skeleton of a dog. The discovery intrigued the excavators, since it wasn't a "large, muscular dog like that painted on the counter but of an extremely small example" of an adult dog, whose height at shoulder level was 8-to-10 inches, Amoretti said. It's rather rare, Amoretti said, to find remains from ancient times of such small dogs, discoveries that "attest to selective breeding in the Roman epoch to obtain this result."

Also unearthed were a bronze ladle, nine amphorae, which were popular food containers in Roman times, a couple of flasks and a ceramic oil container.
Successful restaurateurs know that a good location can be crucial, and the operator of this ancient fast-food seemed to have found a good spot. Osanna noted that right outside the eatery was a small square with a fountain, with another thermopolium in the vicinity.
Human remains were also discovered in the excavation of the eatery.
Those bones were apparently disturbed in the 17th century during clandestine excavations by thieves looking for valuables, Pompeii authorities said. Some of the bones belonged to a man, who, when the Vesuvius volcano erupted, appeared to have been lying on a bed or a cot, since nails and pieces of wood were found under his body, authorities said. Other human remains were found inside one of the counter's vessels, possibly placed there by those excavators centuries ago.

Bell, Stull lead Milwaukee over Detroit Mercy 87-79
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Jeremiah Bell scored 18 points, Brock Stull added 17 and each of them hit 3 of 6 from 3-point range to guide Milwaukee to an 87-79 victory over Detroit Mercy on Saturday night.
Carson Warren-Newsome had 13 points for the Panthers (8-7, 1-1 Horizon League), who handed the Titans (4-11, 0-2) their ninth straight defeat.
Kameron Chatman had 20 points and eight rebounds and Roschon Prince chipped in with 11 points and 10 boards for Detroit. Tariiq Jones and Josh McFolley scored 12 and 11, respectively.
The game featured 24 lead changes in the first 25 minutes, but Brett Prahl hit two free throws and Stull hit all three of his after being fouled on a 3-point attempt as the Panthers pulled away from a 73-all tie.
Stull had 10 points, and Milwaukee shot 61.5 percent in the first half, but led just 48-47 at intermission. The Titans had a 33-23 advantage in points in the paint. Milwaukee shot 55 percent overall, including 12 of 24 from 3-point range.

Best USA VPN Services of October 2018 - Top VPNs Reviewed
People in the US are tired of online censorship and monitoring. Time and again, many people have blowed the whistle, calling out the ill doings of mass surveillance by government agencies and monitoring authorities.
For instance, the famous whistleblower, Edward Snowden, revealed to the entire world in 2013 about how the National Surveillance Agency, or the NSA, keeps tabs on billions of people across the planet. He told that NSA has made tools with which it can tap on phone calls, emails, and all digital communication of any person.
After this revelation, people have become aware about their right to online privacy and anonymity. More and more people specially in the US are using tools and apps to make their digital footprint secure, keep their data safe, and protect their online identity and personal information, from hackers as well as monitoring agencies, such as the NSA.
One such tool is a Virtual Private Network, or VPN. It allows you to connect to any server that is not located in your country. It also encrypts all communication that is done from and to your internet connected device. This makes it impossible for anyone to ever trace your location, get hands on your information, or know about your online identity. In simple, it makes you invisible online.
USA VPN is a review website that tests reviews and reviews all the VPNs that people in the US use. We review thousands different products and services that allow you to unblock the internet and keep you safe online at all times. We make it extremely easy for you to choose the best VPN according to your region and needs.
Below is one of the simplest and easiest of all guides for VPNs you’d find across the internet. We created this guide with the aim to help you choose the best USA VPN.
What to look for in a VPN?
Some VPNs provide exceptional performance, while others provide a multitude of features. What you should be looking for is a VPN that has a good balance between features and performance, along with an attractive pricing structure.
Which VPN is best for you?
Here are top ten VPNs handpicked by our researchers and quality analysts:
The best VPN in the industry, PureVPN unblocks the entire internet for you in just one click. It provides great pricing plans, ultimate performance for security and streaming related features, and 24/7 live support. PureVPN has got more than 2000+ Speed Optimized Servers across 180 locations, which makes it a highly reliable VPN service.
Apart from the great many servers that PureVPN has across the globe, it is reputed in the industry for providing exceptional encryption for all data being sent and received through its servers. Moreover, a network with multiple servers means that users will continue to receive fast browsing and streaming speeds, regardless of how crowded the network may be. It’s one of the best vpn that works with Netflix.
The best part, however, is that it is available on all the popular platforms for mobile as well as desktop. These include iOS, Android, MacOS, Windows, Firestick, Kodi, Android TV and many other internet-enabled devices. Moreover, PureVPN has a 24/7 customer support department which ensures that no user goes away dissatisfied. Even though very few users face connectivity issues, but those who do, reach out to the Customer Support department for troubleshooting, and walk away satisfied.
That’s not it! PureVPN’s premium package comes at a very nominal price and is extremely easy to use on all the devices. It does wonders when it comes to unblocking any streaming channel that may be banned or regulated in your region. We tested, retested, and taken the service to its breaking point, then made the choice for you. But if you are still interested in checking out other VPNs, keep reading.
ExpressVPN is a very close second to PureVPN. It’s a bit too unclear about who runs this VPN service and why its leadership has chosen to remain so hidden and anonymous. We understand that they are a cybersecurity provider and for them, anonymity is an asset, but it kind of puts a question mark on their reliability.
That being said, it’s a good VPN service which gives you great security and privacy features, though at a very high price. Its annual subscription will set you back $99.95 annually. It provides apps for most popular platforms such as iOS and Android, as well as on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
ExpressVPN is also great for unblocking the internet. Most people think of the internet as a utility that anyone can access. However, in reality, the internet is a heavily censored tool, which shows only a few chunks of information in each region. For instance, if you are in China, you can’t stream anything on YouTube as it is banned over there. Many other streaming platforms that are too common in some regions, such as Netflix, Spotify, and Hulu, are not available in most regions.
ExpressVPN is reliable at unblocking the internet, and allows its users a fair streaming experience with online freedom.
Cyberghost has a pretty decent presence in the industry and the way it is improving, it won’t be too long before it lists its name in the top-tier services.The VPN service offers a good number of servers in the industry, currently standing at approximately 2950 VPN servers. The service uses 256-bit encryption algorithm for securing the traffic that passes its tunnels. Other prominent features include automatic kill switch, simultaneous connections on up to 7 devices, DNS and IP leak, and more
The VPN services’ plan starts at $11.99 for a one month account, $4.99/month for a year account and $2.75/m for a 2 year account.
Ivacy
Ivacy matches up by providing exceptional security features. It is very useful in keeping your data safe and encrypted when you send it over the internet. It also works great for unblocking region-restricted websites and torrenting.
With the popularity of Kodi going up, more and more people are using Ivacy to watch Kodi. Kodi is an open source media player that allows users to stream anything at all from anywhere on the world, all without paying a single dime. Content producers hate Kodi users as they watch their content without paying anything. Consequently, content producers force ISPs to throttle connections of users who are using Kodi. With Ivacy connected, Kodi users can bypass ISP throttling by changing their identity and location.
Although Ivacy has been in the market for much longer, its user base is small, which reflects its market position. It is usually considered a small player in the VPN industry and is not considered a multi-purpose VPN, even though it is.
Private Internet Access (PIA)
This is our pick for being an average VPN. It’s neither too cheap, nor too expensive, and provides you with just the right features to enjoy basic privacy and security features, nothing extraordinary. It is based in the US and has been around since anyone else made their name in the VPN industry. With a very easy-to-install app for iOS and Android, and client for Windows and Mac, PIA is a choice for thousands of users around the world.
It has as many as 3000 virtual servers located across 25 countries around the world. There is just one drawback to PIA, if you are a streamer and want to unblock Netflix and other similar streaming channels, you should avoid using PIA. Many streaming channels and services which can easily be blocked by most good VPNs, are still a no-mans-land for PIA.
Based in the US, IPVanish claims to be a great VPN, and offers what it promises. It has around 500 servers across 60 countries. It is a good VPN for unblocking restricted websites and other content. However, due to the comparatively small number of servers that it has, IPVanish slightly limits your streaming experience. When streaming videos in HD, it often lags a lot, adding to your annoyance.
Like all the great VPN services, it has apps for iOS and Android, as well as client for Windows and MacOS. Overall it’s a good VPN for general use.
NordVPN is a very easy-to-download and one of the simplest VPNs to use. The extremely user-friendly website and a very easy-to-use app make it very convenient to choose their desired plan from within the app, pay for it, and start using it to unblock the internet.
People love NordVPN precisely for its simplicity. It takes no hassle and requires no technical knowledge for a user to install and use it. It comes preconfigured to support all the latest encryption protocols and receives regular updates. NordVPN also allows users to select any server that can take care of their needs.
There are some minute issues and drawbacks which often require technical expertise to deal with. For instance, if you want to setup a unique security protocol, you would have to do it manually, for which the process is a bit too complicated. Furthermore, the servers from which users can choose from are labeled against country names, and it’s a painstaking task if you want to know the city where a particular server is based.
VyperVPN is owned by its parent company, Golden Frog, which has been in the cybersecurity business since 1994. It provides multiple software, tools, and applications, allowing users to enjoy a free and open internet and keep their privacy and security protected when they go online.
VyperVPN excels in providing support for many platforms and protocols. It has hundreds of servers, both physical and virtual, across the globe, giving its users a great online experience. It also provides advanced features, such as internet kill switch, which is an excellent feature to help users keep their identity secure in case of unavailability of VPN functionality or service outages.
Its drawbacks are few, but the ones that are, often matter a lot to the users. For starters, VyperVPN has very few licenses, and no ad-blocking features. Moreover, it gives unreliable speed test scores, which makes us think about this VPN as an unreliable tool if you are looking for high-speed streaming. Also, it offers very few advanced features, which makes it an unattractive option for most VPN users.
SaferVPN
It’s called SaferVPN for a very valid reason – it is said to always be a safer option. However, its limited functionality and lack of support for torrenting make it an unattractive bet. Moreover, while SaferVPN works well for unblocking streaming services such as Netflix US, some users have faced many issues with this. What’s worse, SaferVPN keeps logs of their users. Using a VPN and still getting logged defeats the purpose of using it in the first place, and makes you susceptible to government surveillance and monitoring.
It is a relatively cheap VPN service which provides all the basics one can expect. What makes it popular among its users is its extremely easy-to-use Windows client which allows users to become secure online in just a click.
A few years ago, HideMyAss was found in troubled waters, after it provided FBI with logs that lead to the arrest of a hacker who had infiltrated Sony Pictures. It lead to widespread controversies claiming that HideMyAss is a VPN owned by intelligence agencies, which allows the government to keep tabs on its people.
However, despite the controversies and rumors, HideMyAss managed to see an end to its turbulent times. It still holds a reputed place in the VPN industry among great VPN brands that offer stable security and privacy features. It offers a free account as will, which is not recommended at all. It’s not because it lacks performance but rather because free VPNs invade your privacy.
Over all, HideMyAss is a good VPN for privacy concerned and streaming users living outside the US. It has hundreds of servers across the world, has a friendly support staff, and a very simple-to-use interface. The cherry topping is that it allows torrenting.
VPN Unlimited
A relatively cheap USA VPN service that not only provides responsive support, but also other nifty features such as up to five multi-logins. It also serves the basic purpose of streaming by managing to change your location and allowing you access to restricted content easily. But it has its own downsides.
VPN Unlimited is very low on privacy, and is only suitable for users in countries that have no serious efforts being put in for the cyber-wellbeing of the society. This VPN leaks the real IP of users, makes them susceptible to hacking and surveillance, and keeps a log of all your online activities. That being said, the VPN does everything it says.
FAQs of USA VPN
How to get a US IP address?
IP address is a string of numbers, which is used as a unique identifier by every internet-connected device. It’s what ties you to a physical location. For users who are living outside the US, the internet is only half as fun, due to restrictions and regulations. Users can change their IP address and opt for one based in the US, allowing them to change their virtual location and unblock the internet.
Not all VPN providers give their users an option to choose a US based IP address. The key is to look for a VPN that specifically allows its users to choose a location of their choice. Once you have found the perfect VPN that provides you with this option, it’s just a matter of connecting to the VPN!
Here is a very simple step-by-step guide to change your original IP address and get a US based IP address in just a few clicks.
Choose a VPN provider that her servers in the USA, such as PureVPN, and sign up for it.
Download the app/software client for your device or PC.
Before connecting to the VPN for the first time, ensure that you have cleared your cookies, deleted your cache and browser history.
Connect the VPN, choose US as your preferred server.
You are now connected to the internet with a US IP address. You can now access the internet without any restrictions or censorship.
To be sure, go to WhatIsMyIP.network and check your IP address.
How to watch US sports online with a VPN?
There are many US-based sports which do not get broadcasted or streamed in other countries. For instance, the National Football League (NFL), Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC), and many other sports are not available for live streaming in regions other than the US.
By connecting to a VPN, users are able to change their virtual location. If a user is currently located in another country, say Australia, they will not be able to access any sports channels based in the US. However, connecting to a VPN will solve the issue.
Subscribe for a good sports streaming VPN.
Get a relanant VPN client for your device, such as browser extension, app, or software for Mac.
Connect to the VPN and select US as your preferred server, this will unblock all US content for you.
Access US-based sports, such as NFL and UFC from anywhere in the world.
How to unblock US channels online with a VPN?
Unblocking any US channel through a VPN is very easy. All you need is a VPN which allows you to choose your desired location, which is US. Once you connect to a VPN and change your location to US, you can access all US channels just like you normally would from within the United States.
Great many US channels and streaming platforms such as Hulu, Spotify and many others are not accessible in many other countries. Here is how to access them from outside US with a good streaming VPN.
Get a streaming VPN, one like PureVPN that allows you to access any channel from anywhere in the world
Get a client; an app, a software, or even a browser extension, if that is convenient for you.
Connect to the VPN, and you are good to go.
Once the VPN is connected, you can access any restricted sites, channels or platforms, as easily as you would have in the US. It is that simple.
It’s like a private and secure network within a public network which is the internet. In the normal circumstances, all information sent and received over the internet is highly susceptible to getting hacked or stolen, causing problems and even huge financial losses.
A VPN encrypts your connection and provides you online privacy, security, and anonymity. It also allows you to access region-restricted content. For instance, Facebook is banned in China and you cannot access Facebook if you are located within China. However, if you connect to a VPN, you can access Facebook easily.
How Does a VPN work?
A VPN works by creating a virtual data tunnel and encrypting all data before sending it through the tunnel. In usual circumstances, the data is sent over public network which is highly susceptible to hacks and snooping.
However, using a VPN, stealing any data or information is almost impossible. And even if someone succeeds in stealing the information, decrypting it would be the next hurdle which is impossible to cross.
Are VPNs legal?
The common misconception is that VPNs are illegal – let’s put an end to this mystery, because they are not illegal. However, their use is regulated in not more than eight countries, including China, UAE, Russia, and Turkey.
That being said, the legality of VPN usage depends on the activity a VPN is used for. For instance, if a cyber-stalker is using a VPN to keep his identity hidden and harass an individual online, it will be counted as an illegal activity. However, if the same VPN is used to access banned social services, such as Facebook from a country where Facebook is banned, it won’t be considered an illegal activity.
Everything here depends on the usage. As the wise men said, if a driver drives a car wrong, you don’t blame the car, you blame the driver.
Which is the fastest VPN for American Users?
There are many great and cheap US VPN services which we have reviewed throughout this website. Some VPNs are optimum for privacy and security while others are great for online freedom and streaming purposes. Our pick for the top three VPN services that provide a lot of features, and great performance are PureVPN, Ivacy, and ExpressVPN.
How to unblock Netflix US with a VPN?
Every country has a different Netflix library. Content which is available in the Netflix US library is not available around the world. If you are travelling outside the US or have temporarily moved to another country where Netflix US is not available, you need to get a good US VPN to bypass Netflix Proxy Error.
Just connect to a USA VPN service that allows users to change your original IP address to US IP address, and access Netflix US library instantly.
PureVPN is a great Netflix VPN, which allows you to access US Netflix from anywhere in the world. Just do the following.
Connect to PureVPN.
Select US Netflix as your streaming channel.
Once connected, log on to netflix with your existing account.
Now you will have access to all the content available in the US Netflix library.
The 21st century and our gradual progress in the cyber-age seems to have exactly the same amount of pros and cons. Even though there are thousands of very valid arguments about the essentiality and importance of the internet and how it allows to scale things, it has an equal amount of cons, for lack of a better word.
There are so many reasons why millions of netizens have resorted to using VPNs every single time they go online. Unlike the general misconception that a VPN is only needed if you are doing an illegal activity online, it is an extremely useful service that allows you to protect your identity and data from online thieves and scammers. It is like a lock and chain to secure your online presence.
A VPN is a very important tool that is fast gaining popularity and mass acceptance among users that are regular streamers or are concerned about their privacy and security. If you are living in the US and travel a lot, or are currently living outside the US, your only hope of using the internet and being able to access the same content you used to back at home, is by using a good US VPN service.

REINVENTING YOUR CAREER IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUS
Unexpected events or shocks disrupt our habitual routines, jolt us out of our comfort zones, and lead us to ask big questions about what matters and what is worth doing. It’s no wonder, then, that during the current pandemic, many people are rethinking their careers.
But is this really the right time? Even for those of us lucky enough not be sick, caring for others who are sick, or scrambling to make ends meet, the pandemic has increased uncertainty and caught us unprepared — psychologically, financially, and infrastructurally. The situation feels threatening. And, as psychologists have shown, threatening situations prompt us to behave conservatively — the opposite of what is required when we’re considering a career change. It’s hard to dive wholeheartedly into reinventing your career if you’re feeling risk-averse or are worried about your prospects.
So how do we balance the pressing need to ensure basic survival — of our families and firms — with what may well be a growing urge to do something new after this crisis has subsided?
I’ve been studying career change for the past two decades, a period that has spanned the dot-com boom and bust, the 2008 financial crisis, the subsequent extended bull-market run, and now the pandemic that has brought that run to an end. That experience has taught me that a few simple principles can help those living through hard times continue to focus on reinventing their careers.
Develop many possible selves
When you don’t know what the future will bring, or when the path you thought you were on takes an unexpected turn, it makes sense to pursue a diverse portfolio of options rather than just sticking single-mindedly to one. Even in happier times, career change is never a perfectly linear process. It’s a necessarily messy journey of exploration — and to do it right, you have to experiment with, test, and learn about a range of possible selves.
Possible selves are the ideas we all have about who we might want to become. Some are concrete and well-informed by experience; others are vague and fuzzy, nascent and untested. Some are realistic; others are pure fantasy. And, naturally, some appeal more to us than others.
Today, more than ever, the path to your next career will be circuitous. To cover all of the ground you’ll need to cover, it’s vital to let yourself imagine a divergent set of possible selves and futures. Embrace that process and explore as many of them as you can.
Embrace the “liminal” period
The hallmark of the career-change process is the emotional experience of “liminality” — that is, of existing betwixt and between a past that is clearly gone and a future that is still uncertain. Liminality can be an unpleasant state to inhabit emotionally. People going through it feel unmoored, lose their bearings, and oscillate between “holding on” and “letting go.” But this fraught stage is a necessary part of the journey, because it allows you to process a lot of complex emotions and conflicting desires, and ultimately prevents you from shutting down prematurely and missing better options that still lie ahead.
The current crisis is likely to prolong this in-between state for many of us. While frustrating at times, the state has its benefits. As Bill Bridges has written in Transitions, “We need not feel defensive about this apparently unproductive time-out at turning points in our lives … In the apparently aimless activity of our time alone, we are doing important inner business.”
Neurological studies suggest that taking advantage of liminal time to do that “inner business” may be more beneficial than engaging in a flurry of busy-making self-improvement efforts. Downtime is crucial not only for replenishing the brain’s stores of attention and motivation but also for sustaining the cognitive processes that allow us to fully develop our humanity. It’s how we consolidate memories, integrate what we have learned, plan for the future, maintain our moral compass, and construct our sense of ourselves.
Get going on projects
The most common path to a career reinvention involves doing something on the side — cultivating knowledge, skills, resources, and relationships until you’ve got strong new legs to walk on in exploring a new career. On nights and weekends, people take part-time courses, do pro-bono or advisory work, and develop start-up ideas. In the research I did for my book Working Identity, which is devoted to the subject of career reinvention, I found that most people work on several possibilities at once, comparing and contrasting the pros and cons of each. This activity is crucial. It helps you work through not only the practical questions but also the existential ones that drive career change: Who am I? Who do I want to become? Where can I best contribute? We learn who we want to become by testing fantasy and reality, and, of course, by doing.
Our current conditions of quarantine and lockdown limit the possibilities, of course. People have long used contract or advisory work to explore new options or to finance new ventures, for example, but non-essential budgets are now drying up, and as a result many people are finding these avenues obstructed.
Nevertheless, under the present circumstances many people are finding it easier than before to reallocate time and resources to back-burner projects. Many people are already taking advantage of the moment. As part of a webinar I teach on career reinvention, I recently conducted an online poll asking participants to describe how they’re responding to the coronavirus crisis, and 50% of the 2000 people who responded reported that it has given them “opportunities to try new things or learn new skills.” In some cases, these new skills are directly related to working remotely. That’s certainly been the case for me: Like most of my faculty colleagues, I’ve had to quickly learn to teach online.
You don’t need to limit our projects to the domain of your desired career change. Many people today are doing rewarding work and making surprising discoveries by engaging in crisis initiatives at their organizations or in community volunteer efforts. The point is to do new and different work with new and different people, because that process represents an opportunity to learn about yourself, your preferences and dislikes, and the kinds of contexts and people that bring out the best in you.
Work your “dormant” ties
Networking is a contact sport, which makes it hard to play in a lockdown. Many people today are wondering how in the current environment they can initiate and build the relationships they need to reinvent themselves — relationships with people who may be struggling to adapt to difficult circumstances themselves.
The golden rule of networking for career change has always been to mobilize your weak ties — that is, the relationships you have with people you don’t know so well or don’t see very often, in order to maximize your chances of learning things you don’t know already. The problem with friends, family, and close coworkers — your strong ties — is that they know the same things you know. They’ll want to help you, of course, but they’re unlikely to be able to help you think creatively about your future. It’s more likely that they’ll pigeonhole you.
But there’s a catch when it comes to your weak ties. Although these people are more likely to be a source of useful new information and resources, they’re also likely to be less motivated to help you, especially when they’re stretched themselves. For this reason, in times of uncertainty people rely more on their strong ties, which are based on commitment, trust, and obligation.
So we have a weak tie/strong tie conundrum. One way around it is to make use of your “dormant ties” — the relationships with people who you were once close to but now haven’t been in contact with for roughly three years or more. In one study, more than 200 executives were asked to reconnect with such people and to use their interactions to get information or advice that might help them on an important work project. The executives reported that the advice they received from these dormant sources was on average more valuable and novel than what they obtained from their more-active relationships.
In the middle of the confusion that career change can bring, many of us hope that introspection will eventually produce a flash of blinding insight. But as I learned in my Working Identity research, solitary introspection, when not coupled with active experimentation, is dangerous, because it can lead us to get stuck in the realm of daydreams — which, of course, provide neither gainful employment nor career fulfilment.
Self-reflection, paradoxically, is a practice best nourished by talking out loud in social exchanges with kindred spirits who respond, sympathize, commiserate, question, read your body language, and share their own experiences. One of the reasons potential career changers benefit so much from attending courses is that their fellow students represent a ready-made community of kindred spirits to talk to. Just the simple act of creating and telling a story about what you want to do, or why you want a change, can clarify your thinking and propel you forward, by committing you publicly to making a change. Any veteran storyteller will tell you that there’s no substitute for practicing in front of a live audience.
But even that is hard in the current context of self-isolation and social distancing. Still, with a bit of initiative and creativity, you can find ways to explain yourself out loud — by scheduling walks that respect social distance, by working with a career coach online, by creating a Zoom group that meets regularly to share plans.
In the end, when it comes to reinventing your career in this time of crisis, remember this important point: The time to get going is now — but don’t go it alone.

Chad Daybell Human Body Remains Were Found On His Property
BK Nath June 10, 2020 0 Comments
American writer Chad Daybell:
American writer Chad Daybell made the booking at Fremont County Jail after human remains were found on his property.
Police issued a search warrant at Diebel's home Tuesday morning in connection with the disappearances of JJ Vallo and Tile Ryan.
Authorities have announced that Chad Daybell has been charged in the Fremont County Jail on unannounced charges after human remains were found in his home north of Rexburg on Tuesday morning.
Rexburg police held a brief press conference Tuesday night to confirm whether a case had been filed against Dexbell and that he would appear in court at 11 a.m. Wednesday. Suspicion of concealment or destruction.
Police said at an earlier news conference that human remains were found Tuesday morning when police, deputies and the FBI executed a search warrant for Dibel's property.
Haigen said the rescuers could not be identified. He did not specify whether he came from one person or more than one person or his adult or child.
American writer Chad Daybell declined to comment but said more information would be released in due course.
Rexburg police, including the Fremont County Sheriff's Office and the FBI, arrived at Chad Daybell's home in the 200-block pre-1900 area around 7 a.m. to serve a search warrant.
Police have confirmed to KTVB that the warrant was related to the disappearance of 7-year-old JJ Vallo and 1 17-year-old Tiley Ryan, who has been missing since last year's fall. The warrant is currently sealed.
There are two criminal charges against Laurie Vallo, Dabel's wife and the mother of the missing children, of child solitary confinement and starvation, as well as offences for preventing or obstructing officers, criminal solicitation for the offence, and contempt of court. He is a prisoner in Madison County Jail
Police have previously said that both Vallo and Dabel have tried to confuse law enforcement about the children's whereabouts and have repeatedly denied where they were when they were safe, or what happened to them.
In addition to the missing children case, an investigation is underway into the deaths of Chad's late wife, Tammy Diabel, on October 19, along with Laurie Vallo and Chad Daybell.
The woman's death was initially believed to be due to natural causes but was later ruled suspicious.
Police say Chad Daybell was taken into custody after human remains were found on his East Idaho property.
Chad Daybell married Laurie Vallo in Hawaii on November 5, a few weeks after his wife's death.
Relatives of the couple say they were preoccupied with the end of the world, their spiritual outlook and the idea that they had lived on other planets in the past.
Charlie Vallo, Laurie Vallo's late husband, also warned police that he had "lost his mind" and threatened to kill her, which could be a danger to children.
"I don't know what he's going to do with them," he told a police officer in January. "Runaway with them. Do them harm."
Charles Vallo was shot dead by Laurie Vallo's brother a few months later in July. The last confirmed meeting of JJ and Tylie came in September.

© Ministry of Education and Culture, Indonesia, 2015: The boat is ready to sail
Indonesia is striving to have its ancient phinisi shipbuilding culture included to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)'s Intangible Cultural Heritage list this year with an exhibition to boost the move.
Nadjamuddin Ramly, the Cultural Heritage and Diplomacy Director under the Ministry of Education and Culture on Wednesday the UNESCO's meeting would be held in Seoul, South Korea, in early December.
"In order to socialize the acknowledgement of phinisi an art of boatbuilding from South Sulawesi, we are holding a cultural exhibition in the ministry's complex in Jakarta for four days until April 28," Ramly told Xinhua.
During the exhibition, the visitors can see phinisi miniature and a documentation of the tradition to build a wooden boat in accordance with methods passed down by ancestors in Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi Province.

"Phinisi wooden boats typically have two masts and seven sails of differing sizes, known for their ability to punch through big waves and sail great distances. They have been used by Bugis traders for centuries to travel across the archipelago and the world," he added.
The Bitti trees in Taman Hutan Rakyat (people's forest) of South Sulawesi
According to Ramly, the phinisi's recognition is important in many ways such as to secure from other countries claim, to preserve the long history tradition, and to increase the incomes of local people from tourism.
In addition to the phinisi, the exhibition also presents pantun poetry and pencak silat martial art, two heritage items hopefully to be added in the UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list.
Indonesia has seven cultural heritages in the UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage list including wayang puppetry, batik, keris ceremonial daggers, angklung (bamboo musical instruments), noken (Papuan traditional woven bags), three genres of traditional Bali dance as well as the traditional Saman dance from Aceh.

Some Quotes from WS Noble
WS Noble provides a lot of detail on what sort of conditions new settlers experienced in the Strzeleckis. The selected quotes below will help provide some understanding of the circumstances they faced.
“By 1887 the Minister for Lands (Mr. Dow) was expressing regret that "the magnificent blue gum ridges throughout south Gippsland have been alienated from the Crown …… every acre of this land has passed into the hands of private selectors."
“The prospect that faced the settlers was an almost terrifying one. Huge trees, 90 metres and more high and with a diameter of two to three metres, covered the hills. Beneath them grew a dense jungle of smaller species - hazel, musk, waffle and others - combined with swordgrass and wiregrass, while in the mountain gullies tree ferns reached a height of 12 metres.”
“Clearing of this vast growth was a formidable task which cost the settlers years of back-breaking work. The original selections were limited to 130 hectares but some held less. Even to clear 40 hectares with axe and saw and shovel - and fire - was an herculean undertaking.”
“The method they followed as they gained experience was to partly cut through the trees as they worked their way uphill and then at the top of the slope fell one large tree, which by its weight brought down the trees below in a giant, accelerating collapse. This left a tangled, compacted mass of scrub, undergrowth and fallen timber, which was left to dry, until on a suitably hot day in January or February it was set alight.”
“It took two generations of back-breaking toil, self-denial and often real privation to break-in the Strzeleckis. Those who did it were not to know that eventually the country would win, and that what they had achieved would in the long run largely be lost.”
“In the meantime the settlers faced other trials and real dangers as fires swept across the country. The worst occurred in 1898. Hundreds of settlers were burnt out, and the loss of stock and property was described as "enormous". An early count showed 50 homesteads destroyed.”
"Next morning what a change met our eyes! Instead of the forest of dry trees, there were great, clear spaces. The forest had largely disappeared, and through the murky atmosphere one could see the homesteads of neighbours half a mile away that we had never been able to see before, and then the smoking ruins of what one had been pleased to call a farm, now swept of grass and fencing.”
“As the understanding grew among the people that the clearing of the Strzeleckis for farm land had been a tragic mistake, a slow blight settled over the ranges. Farmers sold their land and moved away. Others walked off, leaving behind vacant properties and abandoned homes. The bracken and scrub grew thicker.”
“A State Development Committee report many years ago said: "This area, which once carried some of the finest white mountain ash forests of the State presents a challenge to man to restore its former beauty and productivity, which he so eagerly destroyed. It is a tragedy that so much effort was put into the destruction of these forests, only to find that the majority of it was unsuitable for the purpose for which it was cleared."
“The very conditions that made it impossible for the settlers to carry on also made it more difficult to reforest the land. The scrub, the bracken and blackberries, the rabbits that attacked anything edible, created problems that had to be overcome before plantations could be successfully established.”
High rainfall, steep hills, the lack of an adequate road system and long distances to markets, caused farming in these areas to fail. The FCV began purchasing properties in the early 1930s, and increasingly through the 1940s and into the 1950s, reaching a peak between 1944 and 1951. At the same time, Australian Paper Manufacturers (APM), which had established a paper mill near Morwell, began purchasing properties to establish plantations that would eventually supply the mill.
The FCV and APM Forests competed in the property market for some time, but it was eventually agreed that APM Forests would purchase properties to the east of Livingstone Rd and south to the Grand Ridge Rd, and that the FCV would buy properties to the west of Livingstone Rd and south of the Grand Ridge Road. This arrangement, and the purchasing of properties, continued into the late 1970s.
By 1974 the FCV had purchsed over 300 properties with a total area of 22,300ha, and a map of the plantations as they existed in 1974 (from WS Noble, 1974) is available here.
Records in the Mirboo Forest Office reveal that one property on Radburns Rd was bought from a World War II returned serviceman for as little as £5 (the equivalent of about $0.14/ha in today's terms) on the condition that the FCV pay off money owed to the Vermin & Noxious Weeds Board.
A nursery was established at the FCV camp at Olsens Bridge, at the head of the Morwell River, to grow Mountain Ash (Eucalyptus regnans) seedlings. An important player during this phase was John Heislers, who migrated from Latvia after World War II. John had graduated from Riga University's forest science course in 1940.
The nursery and camp were later to become the Morwell River Prison Camp, where inmates operated the nursery under the guidance of FCV employees. In the mid-1970s the nursery was producing in excess of one million seedlings each year.
The steep terrain and large size of some of the wattle regrowth on the purchased properties meant that large (Caterpillar D7 equivalent) bulldozers were required to clear most of the land for planting, but some of the lighter scrub areas were cleared using hand tools (axes, slashers etc) by inmates from the Prison Camp, with crews of up to 40 people at a time.
Because of the climate, this clearing work was concentrated on the steeper country during summer months, and the easier country during winter. Planting was carried out by hand using tubed E. regnans stock, with up to 400 ha/yr planted in the Mirboo Forest District during the early 1970s. P. radiata was also planted on the easier country in the District (up to 350 ha/yr). Planting was also undertaken in the Yarram Forest District. The P. radiata seedlings were raised in FCV nurseries at Creswick, Trentham and a new nursey at the Won Wron Prison Camp near Yarram.
APM Forests was also busy reforesting their purchased land using a similar approach, planting large areas to P. radiata in the Longford, Flynn Creek, Carrujung, Mt Tassie, Tyers and Stockdale areas. Much of this original planting work was successful, with large areas subsequently harvested and replanted. Significant areas of hardwood plantings on the steeper areas have been reserved for environmental purposes, particularly in the major gullies.

South Dakota Colleges List
Though no South Dakota institutions rank on the University Review Rankings List that does not mean that there are not any good educational establishments within the state, but is more a result of the listings bias towards larger, richer establishments that have a world-wide reputation. According to the USNews, the best national college in the state are the South Dakota State University (181st in the US by the USNews; 491st best by Forbes) and the University of South Dakota (Ranked 168th in the USA by USNews and 486th best by forbes, while the Augustana College is rated as the 3rd best regional college in the midwest by the USNews).

Brazil’s Hospital Metropolitano Sul Dom Helder Câmara Adopts UpToDate Anywhere Clinical Decision Support
July 1, 2015 – Wolters Kluwer, a leading global provider of information and point of care solutions for the healthcare industry, announced today that the Hospital Metropolitano Sul Dom Helder Câmara (HDH) in Brazil is launching UpToDate® Anywhere mobile clinical decision support on the occasion of the hospital's fifth anniversary.
UpToDate will be used to improve the quality of care provided by HDH, and will also support the professional development of future clinicians as part of the hospital's medical residency, nursing and physical therapy programs. With mobile access to the clinical decision support resource at the hospital or any other location, residents can use UpToDate to care for patients and review the latest clinical studies.
"The adoption of UpToDate by HDH management serves as an excellent example of a hospital culture committed to using the most current and evidence-based clinical content at the point of care," said Denise Basow, MD, Vice President and General Manager, UpToDate at Wolters Kluwer Health, Clinical Solutions. "We are confident UpToDate will play an important role in their efforts to increase the quality and effectiveness of the healthcare they provide."
Dr. Julio Arraes, technical director at HDH, commented, "By sharing current clinical information through accessible, mobile technology, UpToDate helps us offer the best and most modern healthcare." Arraes adds, "Our patients will benefit from evidence-based medicine as well as newer diagnostics and treatments."
The hospital, based in the city of Cabo de Santo Agostinho, has more than 1,000 healthcare staff. HDH is recognized in the region for extensive emergency care, including cardiology as well as orthopedic trauma, general surgery and internal medicine. In addition to 24 emergency care beds, the hospital has 145 in-patient beds for the specialties above, as well as an intensive care unit covering general care, coronary care, cardiac surgery recovery and hemodynamics.
According to Dr. Audes Feitosa, superintendent of the hospital, "In the state of Pernambuco, HDH is a pioneer in cardiac care. We are staffed around the clock to provide primary angioplasty treatment to patients with myocardial infarction. For trauma care patients, HDH provided excellent emergency care resulting in an average stay of 4.1 days in 2014."
HDH sought to provide their doctors with the best diagnostic and treatment recommendations at the point of care, whether at the patient bedside, consultation room, or off-site. By selecting UpToDate Anywhere, clinicians have anytime/anywhere access, via their mobile devices, to the acclaimed clinical decision support resource, used by over 1 million clinicians in more than 170 countries. More than 60 research studies confirm UpToDate's widespread usage and association with quality metrics such as improved patient care and hospital performance, including reduced length of stay, adverse complications and mortality.
In the future, HDH plans to make UpToDate accessible within their electronic health record, making it even easier for clinicians to find answers to clinical questions while caring for patients. In addition, thanks to the patented Search In Your Own Language feature, searches in UpToDate can also be performed in Portuguese.
"UpToDate Anywhere is an anniversary present to our hospital. We are very confident in the benefits this important clinical decision-making resource will provide for our doctors and patients," said Dr. Rodrigo Pedrosa, director of teaching and research at HDH.
HDH clinicians will participate in an UpToDate kickoff training on July 1, 2015, which is also the fifth anniversary of the healthcare institution.

Opening Doors to Public Housing
Expanding Access for People with Conviction Histories
Margaret diZerega
In recent years, attitudes have shifted on addressing the collateral consequences of housing for formerly incarcerated people. Since 2011, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has encouraged public housing authorities nationwide to give formerly incarcerated people a second chance at housing. In 2015, HUD released guidance on the use of arrests for determinations on who can live in HUD-assisted public housing authorities (PHAs). In addition to discrete programs, a number of PHAs across the country have also begun to adopt policies that provide formerly incarcerated people with the opportunity to live in federally subsidized housing. These programs and policy changes are all helping to push the nation towards a tipping point for change where inclusion is the norm and those with criminal justice histories are offered opportunities to reunite with their families and return home.
With PHAs, residents, and other stakeholders, Vera looks to reduce one of the most detrimental collateral consequences of a criminal conviction and give people a second chance to live at home. Public housing is a tremendous, underutilized resource for people coming out of prison and jail—a resource that connects people to their families and communities, and helps establish a foundation for successful reentry outcomes. Building on the lessons and best practices of New York City, New Orleans, and other jurisdictions that have implemented programs or revised policies, Vera will work with stakeholders across the country to change the public housing landscape to improve public safety outcomes and strengthen families and communities.
On Tuesday, November 15, 2016, The Vera Institute of Justice (Vera), in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and Trinity Church Wall Street, hosted Public Housing Access: A Convening on Innovative Reentry Practices, featuring public housing authorities, law enforcement agencies, government officials, practitioners, and researchers, to discuss and highlight innovative reentry practices in public housing. The event included discussions on the importance of public housing for people with conviction histories, lessons from the field, best practices, and opportunities for changes in policy.

Analyzing Big Data? It’s No Silver Bullet
Big Data: It’s revered, feared — and a moving target.
Friday’s news alone revealed new uses, ranging from reading emotion to improving our health to picking the Super Bowl champs. It’s the reason Starbucks knows the hottest neighborhoods before we do and it’s giving the government concerns over how to produce “official” statistics.
It’s everywhere, and it can be a valuable, if not critical tool. But before we declare Big Data as the end-all-be-all, maybe we ought to look at what Big Data cannot do.
Which brings us to this New York Times post on the eight (no, nine!) problems with big data.
A few takeaways from this post:
Big Data helps us find correlations, but it won’t tell you which correlations are meaningful.
Big Data can be gamed by spammers and the lot.
The data isn’t always as robust as it first seems. When data is collected in different ways for different reasons, it can be risky to draw conclusions.
Another thing we should know about Big Data? Some of the best in the biz still rely on good old human judgment. We all know Netflix uses our viewing habits to make big decisions. But recently its own chief content officer admitted that it’s important to know what data to ignore, indicating their decisions are 70% data, 30% judgment (with the 30% being placed “on top, if that makes sense”).
Big Data is of course here to stay. But if we’re using it, we need to be careful. As Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis said, “it’s not a silver bullet.”

How COVID-19 could forever change the way Ontarians buy food
After the pandemic shut down markets, small farms from the across the province went online — and some say the shift could be here to stay
By Rebecca Tucker - Published on Aug 10, 2020
Since March, an increasing number of small family farms in Ontario have been turning to e-commerce. (iStock/carlosgaw)
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, food — where to buy it, how to buy it, where to eat it —has been a consistent headline-maker. On many farms, it has been a make-or-break crisis.
In the case of medium- to large-scale producers whose main sources of livelihood were restaurants and exports, the pandemic was an instant crisis, as supply chains were disrupted, foreign labour dependencies were compromised, and product backlog became a serious — and potentially bankrupting — issue. So much so that, in early May, the Justin Trudeau government pledged $252 million in subsidies to help support the Canadian farming and agriculture industries.
Small-scale farmers, meanwhile, faced a problem that was similar in gravity but entirely different in scale: How could they reach their consumers directly if their regular avenues, such as farmers’ markets, were simply no longer an option?
The answer, as it so often is these days, was the internet.
“It's been an unbelievable change,” says Theresa Schumilas, president of the Open Food Network, an open-source online food hub (sort of a digital central marketplace) where farmers can set up e-stores without having to independently build out their own website infrastructure. “When I think back to, like, let's just say January, or even last season, I was out there at workshops, webinars, conferences, talking to small farmers about online sales and e-commerce and helping them find solutions that work for them. And, almost always, farmers would say, ‘My consumers aren’t interested in buying online.’ And that changed, like, overnight.”

In March, Schumilas says, the Open Food Network was averaging 20 to 30 calls a day from farmers looking to get online. Pre-pandemic, the network hosted about 200 online stores for farmers in Canada. Once the pandemic hit, that number ballooned to around 800 — about 90 per cent of which were from Ontario, Schumilias estimates.
Indeed, across the province, a number of small family farms — of the size and scale that would otherwise depend primarily on Community Supported Agriculture subscription drops and farmers’-market stalls to make ends meet — dipped their toes into e-commerce, in many instances for the first time. Across the board, “food hub” platforms, such as Open Food Network, proved to be invaluable for these farmers, many of whom simply lacked the time or knowledge to effectively establish a digital store from scratch. Paul Sawtell, the founder of Toronto-based 100km Foods, already worked with a wide roster of farmers pre-COVID-19, acting as a wholesaler for restaurants and markets for farmers and producers within a 100-kilometre radius of the GTA (as the name implies). He had never offered direct-to-consumer sales, but, when the pandemic hit, making the pivot was a no-brainer — he, essentially, transformed into a direct-to-consumer food hub.
Sawtell says that, while he didn’t find switching from commercial to consumer distribution a significant hurdle, he had to work closely with farmers to ensure their supply could keep up with an entirely new pace of demand: previously, his producers had been accustomed to regular bulk orders; now, they were filling orders piecemeal. And, comparatively, the supply required for direct-to-consumer demand is entirely unpredictable. “Unfortunately, there's a lot more waste because we are trying to predict what individual consumers are going to buy week to week, and, when often wrong, you can't find a home for that product,” he says. “This is something that we didn't really have in our wholesale business: just-in-time ordering, especially for fresh produce. So now we're kind of buying on speculation, which is the first time we've done that in 12 years. It's a moving target.”
On Open Food Network, Schumilas says, many farmers saw their order volume double for a given time period, meaning that many of them “shut down” their online stores early to keep up with demand. “Normally, they might be open from Monday to Wednesday for pre-orders,” she says. “But they would be open for 24 hours and fill all of the orders they could physically handle.”
Another such hub, Local Line, saw an increase in the number of farms using its services; Peterborough-based Cedar Grove is one such farm. Its owner, Scott King, says making the shift to digital — a first for the farm — was an obvious move. “Starting in March, we were selling almost all of our produce online,” says King, adding that the delivery radius for Cedar Grove, which is in Omeeme, in the Kawartha Lakes region of Ontario, is about 40 kilometres — the customers he was serving, King says, were mainly in Peterborough.
Indeed, as online delivery became the norm for food shoppers (which is to say, everyone), small farms migrating their services online serviced a largely urban population of individuals residing in medium- to large-scale cities, for whom online shopping is perhaps more of a routine than it is for those in more rural communities. And, while King’s customer base is modest enough that a single van can service all deliveries, Schumilas says that food hubs solve what she calls the “last-mile problem”: helping farmers get their produce from the farms into the hands of consumers, often by setting up a central pickup point.
But, as the severity of the pandemic wanes and restrictions on businesses are lifted, online retail is proving less essential for farmers — King, for instance, says his customers have, with a few exceptions, come back to the farmers’ market. He’s not ready to close up his e-shop, though: all other things being equal, the pandemic has, regardless of industry, been an ongoing case of “wait and see.”
“We're going to keep this service because we think it's important just for those immunocompromised folks, if nothing else,” he says. “And our personal thought on it is that, if there is a resurgence of COVID or some trouble with markets transitioning indoors in the fall, we're keeping the channel basically open for those potential issues.”
Schumilas, however, believes that COVID-19 has created a watershed moment in online food retail for “alternative” grocery sellers, particularly when it comes to young urban shoppers who are already accustomed to shopping online or via their mobile device and may be attracted to a more ethical, sustainable methods of food production. She thinks the shift is here to stay.
“The numbers of people buying online — I don't think those numbers have gone down in the past month or so since we've had grocery stores back open,” she says. “And we might have a very different demographic, because we're open-source and because we're not for profit, so we're kind of this values-aligned solution to buying food. I think this is permanent. And, it’s funny to say, but COVID did it.”

Sci-fi world "New Universe". Development.
Thread: Sci-fi world "New Universe". Development.
November 22, 2020, 02:32 AM #1
Moscow-City
Hello friends. As you know, i am russian sci-fi\fantasy writer (not only modder for TW). Here i`m working with my new incarnation of my sci-fi universe. Its about the saga of 2596 year AD, when galaxy turns to the period of Acheron war between Intergalactic Coalition and Achaeron League. This universe sometimes can remind you HALO, Mass Effect or Stargate, but its my unique work, so all ideas, which you`ll find there, are my own, and didn`t taken from other worlds.
Rise of the Acheronian League.
(or what triggered the beginning of the Acheronian War in the galaxy in general)
The League's ascension began with the Gathering of the Consistorium of the Great Races on the planet Acheron Prime, which belongs to the Unn-chor Empire. After the Draconian War, the hatred of many civilizations for the Elfurr state increased hundreds of times. If earlier the mysterious race of Elfurr was treated with great suspicion, but at the same time they preferred not to rant about its tyrannical foundations, then after the elimination of the Ser-Azzrai regime on Kroko, the situation changed. Elfurr raids on draconian planets and on the worlds of Kosatti have rocked the galaxy. Even when the dictatorship of Ser-Azzrai fell, most civilizations no longer regarded Elfurr as allies. At the end of 2592, a massive exit from the Coalition of entire interstellar states followed. The first to leave the Coalition of the Galaxy were Unn-Chor, led by the high priest Olmek R-Llandris. The second was followed by Ho-Nari, led by the high priest Fei Hoa. Sozidaus came third, making this final decision at the Council of Four. Some of the Aranguto states also followed the great races who did not trust the Coalition's pro-Elfurrian rule. Soon, at least 8 civilizations left the Coalition. The Khazaars, Kosatti and Ara-Nii had not previously been part of any associations. The Elfurr did not prevent many races from leaving, but they warned them that they were making an irreparable mistake. St-Finghi was the last to leave the galactic alliance. Following them, two human states, such as Neo-Liberon and Geranium, announced separation. The Elfurrian pharaoh Senuhsert called the act of these people unreasonable and warned about their difficult future without the Coalition.
A few months later, in 2593, civilizations and states that left the Coalition of the Galaxy began to cooperate with each other. Olmec R-Landdris has invited rulers of all races who are unfriendly towards Elfurr. On the planet Acheron Prime, the first meeting of the leaders of states that left the Coalition took place. The first meeting was named the Liberty Staircase. The Coalition was concerned about the gathering of large empires that were formerly part of the galactic association. Empress Farrukh Yuay Ang called this advice a dangerous undertaking. Many leaders of the Coalition expressed concern that the meetings organized by Olmec and calls for unification into a new alliance threaten a total split in the Galaxy. Fleet Admiral Zarina Menchfidel of the Elfurr Empire described Olmec's actions as an attempt to unleash an all-out galactic war. Olmec denied his participation in the anti-Elfurr association. He reported that the meetings held at Acheron Prime were not related to the discussion of the Elfurr aggression. But a month later, a new summit was held under the leadership of Olmec and his allies. The summit announced the creation of the Acheronian League in opposition to the Coalition of the Galaxy. Olmec R-Llandris officially announced the creation of a new association. He did not call his alliance Anti-Elfurr, but did mention that the League would be firmly opposed to any aggression. The Coalition Board called the Acheronian League "a dangerous organization of otherworldly people seeking power."
Closer to the standard April 2593 (in Earth reckoning), the Acheronian League first intervened in the affairs of another state. The anti-Elfurr sentiments instilled by Olmec and his comrades have spread to a good half of the galaxy. Because of this, massive protests began on thousands of planets. Demonstrations were usually suppressed by the Coalition's intelligence services, and the instigators were sent to prisons. But riots continued to erupt. In the Castambol Federation, a rebellion broke out against the local president who supported Elfurr. The people of Castambol took over the government quarter overnight, killing all the authorities. The rebels announced the joining of the federation to the Acheronian League. They called Elfurr the greatest threat in the universe. Olmec R-Landis willingly took the rebels under his wing, even though they were human. Since the annexation of Castambol, anti-Elfurr calls have been heard more and more frequently at League meetings. It all ended with the League's representatives closing all their consulates in the territories of the Coalition. There was a complete diplomatic rift between Acheron and the Coalition of the Galaxy. One of the prominent representatives of the Coalition's psi-special forces, Frederic Kartavin, called this step a declaration of war. The League also announced that it was not going to start a war with Elfurr, but at the same time it would not maintain any relationship with them. In the territories of Acheron, the Elfurric language was banned. All elfurr representatives have been expelled.
The last straw was a quarrel between the League leadership and the Earth Alliance closer to 2595. The last negotiations between the President of the Earth Joanna Kilich and the head of Acheron ended in a conflict situation. Joanna called Olmec "a power-hungry four-armed demon." Olmec told Kilich that "her pathetic planet Earth will be destroyed for such insults." The Farrukh office immediately sent a note of protest to the League leadership. Elfurr called such insults in the negotiations unacceptable. It all ended with the Acheronian flotilla hitting Earth's merchant ships in the disputed sector of Betelgeuse. The merchants called for reinforcements from the nearby Mirandolina space base. The help quickly destroyed the League's fleet in this system. Upon learning of the attack on his ships, Olmec ordered to send three combat armada to Betelgeuse. The Earthlings immediately requested help from Elfurr. The Elfurrian Allied Flotilla helped stop the League's advance. After the defeat of Acheron at Betelgeuse, Olmec convened a new summit, inviting all the allied leaders there. At the meeting, he formally declared war on the Elfurr Empire and the entire Galaxy Coalition. The war was supported by all representatives of the League, without exception.
War before the Achaeron War.
From "Donald Trump" to Cosatti Prime. Year 2590
In 2590, a full-scale war nearly broke out between the Earth Alliance and the Ho-Nari Empire. The confrontation between the High Priest of the Ho-Nari race (an arthropod race inhabiting the galactic east) Fay Hoa The Wisest and President Mitchell Pronin over the colonies on Procyon-12 could develop into a galactic conflict at any moment. It all started with the development of Procyon-12 by earthlings. The "Donald Trump" Expeditionary Mothership was the first to land on the planet, fully entering its crust. Fei Hoa immediately tracked down the colonists and sent a note of protest to President Pronin in connection with the "illegal expansion." As it turned out, there was a whole island on the planet, on which the ancient shrines of Kho-Nari stood for a long time. The Ho-Nari did not touch Procyon-12 due to its "sacredness". However, the planet was rich in minerals and was ideal for colonization. In addition, in 2585, there were serious tremors on Earth in the Yellowstone zone, which indicated the impending awakening of the supervolcano. Despite the fact that the Alliance has mastered enough exoplanets, new worlds with favorable conditions have become a tasty morsel for his government. As a result of negotiations between Ho-Nari and Earth, it was decided that colonization would take place only in the eastern hemisphere of Procyon-12. The West will remain with the Fei Hoa government. But things didn't go according to plan. In mid-2590, there was a brief conflict between the Alliance and the aquatic reptile race, Cosatti. Despot of Kosatti Ser'Chamurunkhi has ordered drone fleets to launch attacks on Earth colonies. One of these armadas attacked Procyon 12, and in particular the Donald Trump base. Since the Kosattians bombed everything that reminded them of structures, the Ho-Nari temple complex was also hit. Soon, the Earthlings repelled the attack using Trump's defensive systems and destroyed the drones. But Fei Hoa, upon learning of the attack on the shrines, immediately sent a new note of protest to Mitchell Pronin. He accused Pronin of violating the colonization treaties and of sacrilege. The Ho-Nari shrines were almost completely destroyed, which provoked outrage in the council of the Holies. The Ho-Nari Large Fleet originated in orbit with Procyon-12. President Pronin had to contact the Coalition Council and the Order of the Father to clarify the situation. The order sent envoys to the Ho-Nari Empire. As a result of new negotiations, it was decided that the earthlings are innocent, and they are not responsible for the destruction of the temple complex. The father of agent Ishken Derh, the Nicomedian count Onstant'Derh, took part in the negotiations. Fei Hoa listened to the delegates and ordered the armads to retreat from the Procyon sector. The threat of a full-scale war has passed the galaxy. Pronin also promised Fei Hoa to deal with the Kosattians. A month after the events, the Ho-Nari armada, supported by Elfurr, the Earth Alliance, and the N-Sai Union, entered the Kosatti systems. Ser'Chamurunha was ordered to stop military aggression. The Ho-Nari threatened to destroy Kosatti Prime with the Atmosphere Vaporizer (climate superweapon). However, the leader of the aquatic race agreed to pay a large contribution to Fei Hoa and help rebuild the temples. Moreover, he betrayed Kho-Nari the perpetrators of the destruction of the shrines, his two generals - Ser'Chargriman and Ser'Fakhatsian. At this, the interracial conflict was ended. The Kosattians were also forced to pay an indemnity to the Earth Alliance. As Ser'Chamurunhi himself later expressed, all this was done not out of repentance, but only for the sake of saving the Kosatti people. Procyon-12, in order to avoid new attacks, was fortified on all sides by the most powerful energy systems. "Donald Trump" has received a whole bunch of new technological improvements.

I'm intrigued by the mix of polite diplomatic protests, a collapsing Coalition and nations led by high priests.
New Town (Carthage AAR)
The reason is Elfurr Domination. Elfurr race is always like to control other nations and states. They have the most big army in the galaxy, the most powerful technologies (like Black Hole generators), the most strong space fleet. This race is the head of Coalition of the Galaxy. After the Draconid War, many races started to notice, that Elfurr power is increasing, and they are simply making genocide against all, who have disputes with them. Acheron League was founded by the Elfurr haters; creatures and alien species, who understood about the egocentrical power of Elfurr Empire.
Hello again friends. Need to talk. Today i get some messages from some people, who said me truth and i understand it fully. I need to really improve my artwork, especially modding realization and literature. For now my universe is almost everywhere, and as i see, i have more critic then positive opinion. These people said, that i need to improve my artwork, because things are getting worse for me. They said not only about Discord clubs, but abourt TWC too. I heard from them, that TWC are thinking that i am spreading a trashful work and my universe is really unfinished. I must say, i am improving it of course, and will improve till the "Gem" level. I don`t know, truth or not - it was information from these people. Maybe its just trolling , maybe its a truth.... don`t know. But fact is a fact. People said it (these 2 guys from Disc). My universe needs work, and a lot of work. So at first i must say you all sorry, if you are all dissapointed in my work. I will improve it as i said and promised.
I wanna publish in this topic more stories and i wanna start from a simple LORE information (background). So, what its will be.... Its will be one or two small informations about the world in a week. I will publish it once or twice a week. For example, today i wanna publish the information about Armandov prophet, who foresaw the creation of Acheronian League even in the year 2582. He died soon, but said before the death about his vision. Nobody believed his vision, because in that time, Coalition was seemed as a powerful union of the galaxy states. Powerful and undivided. Later, i`ll start to post information about different races or heroes and their stories. And in parallel, i`ll continue my work with the biggest story.
So thank you, friends, for your support and sorry again for the not good things in past. I don`t know about the "TWC laughing at me" or "all my work is talentless" - but anyway, i`ll continue to improve it till the "Gem" level. Please believe in my forces. I wanna be best.

I heard from them, that TWC are thinking that i am spreading a trashful work and my universe is really unfinished.
can you provide a screen of this?

To be honest, i would like to make a quotes not in this topic, but in PMs council. Because don`t want to make a "hot topic" infront of others here. Anyway, i was shocked when i get this kind of message. I don`t want to spam and didn`t do it. Maybe sometimes i wanted people "hey, i am working with universe, can you see this". But it was only once or twice. I prefer describe my universe with my friends. I have a lot of friends here and in Discord too. But i always thought, i can`t be annoying. Annoying people usually posting anytime , maybe 1 time a day, and next day too, and day after tomorrow too. But i prefer to work more, then make an advertisement campaigns.
About TWC-admins and Discord admins are against my universe - its completely not truth. I spoke with people, and many of them simply didn`t know about my universe things. So the information about i am as about the annoying advertiser-spammer - is nonsence absolutely.
Soon i`ll post here information about the Armandov prophet. And after that, maybe about the Hyperborean Times. Thanks all

Prophecy Vision of the Andrey Armandov.
In 2582, Andrei Armandov, a member of the Earth Alliance Astrology Guild, reported to the Coalition Board information about an impending invasion of the Galaxy. He recommended that all governments immediately begin to strengthen the planets and star systems. He also called for the use of Elfurr technologies, since, according to him, they were able to deter the advance of an unknown enemy. In the Coalition, Armandov's forecasts were considered absurd and nonsense, which did not deserve attention. His letters to the management of the Board were constantly deleted. When the flow of messages became off scale, Armandov was arrested by the police at Reagan 2. He was taken to the Coalition security office, where they had many conversations with Andrei. He claimed that while on one of the transports between Mars and Reagan 2, he was subjected to a strange telepathic attack. According to Armandov, a whole stream of visions rushed into his mind. All of them displayed thousands and thousands of unknown diamond-shaped ships. In addition, he saw a split among the states of the Galaxy. Armandov said that part of the Coalition's interstellar empires could leave the alliance and form into a certain Acheronian League. He also mentioned a strange name , symbolizing "Darkness". When Andrei was asked about the reasons for the creation of the League, he replied that the mysterious evil coming from the depths of the universe, thus seeks to split the Galaxy into many warring factions, so that then they can destroy all at once. Armandov demanded a personal meeting with the leaders of the Coalition. He even managed to send a message to the Ho-Nari Empire to the Archpriest Fei Hoa. However, Ho-Nari considered his words for the delirium of a madman and advised the Coalition agents to send Armandov for a psychiatric examination. All Andrey's statements about a certain Acheronian league and about the mighty darkness from the depths of the universe were regarded as an insane stream of consciousness. A criminal case was opened against Armandov on attempts to introduce disinformation into the Coalition and on knowingly false predictions. Elfurr became seriously interested in the astrologer. The director of psi-intelligence, Totkhemris User-Kaf, recommended that Armandov be transferred to her department. But when Elfurr arrived to pick Andrei from the bullpen at Reagan 2, the astrologer died. According to doctors, he died of a heart attack. At that time he was already 87 years old. After that, the Armandov case was finally closed. Later, Ygraine, an elderly cleaning woman from the planet Una, spoke about a mysterious evil from distant worlds. But her words were not heard either.
Now about the states. Let me tell you about the most big states of my universe.
CGS (Coalition of the Galaxy States)
Coalition was announced in the middle of XXIII century by the Pact of Galaxy States. First president of Coalition was the elfurr pharaoh Amenemhet IV from the Menkaurr Dynastie. He added to his union many galaxy nations and human galaxy states. Main idea was to create a union of galaxy realms against the common threats. Under the leadership of the Elfurr race, many members of the galaxy had to work together and help each other. In the same period there was declared the Coalition United Government with the council of many races representatives. Council have 2 special organisations - Highest Council of United Galaxy Nations and Congress of the Galactic Safety. Coalition exists even now, in the 2596 AD. Nobody wanted to leave this organisation till the Draconids war in 2592 AD.
Achaeron League
League was declared by the alliance of some galaxy races, who are against of Elfurr domination. Its official creator is Olmec Rlandris, the leader of the Unn-chor race. Later, many other states and races of the galaxy joined him in the Achaeron-Prime planet. The League Representatives believes that the Elfurr are destroying the galaxy and are planning to exterminate all civilizations. The main goal of the League is the destruction of the "pro-elfurr" Coalition and the establishment of a new order in the universe. But many critics believe that the ancient Cult of Darkness, which has existed for millions of years, can operate under the banner of the Achaeron League. Its can be just a puppet organisation of the Cult.

Elfurr Empire.
Elfurr Empire is a mightiest and greatest state in the whole galaxy. This race consist of creatures with human-like form, but with spiky ears and high height. Many factions accepted Elfurr as the most beautiful race in the universe. Their women are so beautiful, hat often forced men from other civilizations to betray their race. Elfurr have egyptian-style culture. Its because all egyptian things, including Pyramides, were created by them. Information about this mysterious race appeared million years ago, so everyone can say, that Elfurr have a really long history. Elfurr have a great amount of technologies. They also have the most powerful in the universe space fleet and superweapons system. Elfurr don`t like to speak about their weapons, but they have a really destructive potential. They simply can destroy every galaxy state by the 1 click of button. Elfurr have in their secret techonology Generator of the Black Holes, which can make a singularity violation in every star system.
For now Elfurr are controlling the Coalition. Their pharaoh Amenemhet was initiator of this alliance. The present pharaoh Senuhsert The Greatest is also accepting his ancestors politics. But there is one biggest problem. Elfurr likes to control, and this is making their race as a highest race in the universe. Many other races dislike it and thinking about Elfurr, as about the egocentric and evil creatures with only one desire - to rule.
Earth Alliance
Earth Alliance was created in the beginning of XXII centyrt. Earth Global Crisis in 2098 pushed the earthlings to create united alliance. Situation was bad, and Earth was almost died in war. But decent leaders decided all problems and made an agreement between each other.
The global crisis in America (unemployment, poverty, economic failure, robbery) has led some of the American generals who disagree with President Jaime Glouchester settled in Antarctica and announced the creation of their own United States. The president immediately moved troops to punish the criminals, but the president of the Eurasian Alliance Alexander Kirsenko supported rebel generals, because counted actions of Glouchester for the manifestation of despotism. In the end, Eurasia, along with the rebels, striked North America. President Gloucester was supported by the another force - Pacific Rim Coalition. This almost led to a new world war, and subsequently to nuclear earth on the planet. But everything was decided by the successful operation of the rebels who destroyed the power of President Gloucester. Rebels took Washington in time. After this, the new president Andrzej Kilic (ancestor of modern Earth president Joanna Kilic) announced a general ceasefire. Kilich was supported by almost all world states and realms. Now it is believed that after the Crisis of 2098 that the heyday and rise of the United Earth Alliance has begun.
In 2114 AD Earth Alliance was borned completely. United expeditions came to the far space. And there also was the first official contact with alien races. New presidents of united nations started to keep the Union politics. Nations came to far history. Nations and tribes and other things.
"Donald Trump" colonial fleets.
"Donald Trump" fleet is the main colonial fleet of the Earth Alliance. It was created in 2123 AD by the will of the president Abraham Bikkerman. Now, in 2596 there are a lot of colonial fleets with the same name. Modern president Kilic split colonial expeditions to several groups. For example, "Donald Trump-1" was sent to the Ziabel star system. "Donald Trump - 33" was teleported to the Galaxy M-33. There already 100 colonial fleets under control of the Earth Alliance. All this colonial program was accepted by the Coalition Main Council. Main task of the fleets - to explore the whole galaxy and other galaxies too.
Colonial fleets consist of many vessels: battleships, transport ships and automatic ships (carriers).
- Transport colonists ship "Armstrong" class (biggest in the fleet)
- Line battleships "Pompeo" class
- Battle frigates "Conquest" class
- Automatic carriers "Jobs" class
- Allied Elfurr vessels "Nahar`kara" class
- Allied kinos vessels "In-Jraam" class
Cult of Cerberum
This cult appeared in the old times, maybe 22k years BC or earlier. The first cult appeared in the Hyperborean Empire. There are some chronicles about it. Cultists believed in the mysterious Cerberum (Si-Bad) god, which can transform to many different forms. They called himself as the Abrahsax or the God of Transformation. Chronicle authors described, that Cerberum fanatics were really mad and furious, they killed thousand victims and spreaded their alien religion in many planets. After the fall of Hyberborean empire, galaxy turned to Age of Darkness. After this age, the new civilization of humans appeared and borned from ashes. It was Our Civilization, nowadays humans community. But even now, in 2596 AD, there are some cults and sects, which are believing in strange gods. Origins of their religion is not explored. Coalition government prefer to not pay attention to these strange religions. Presiden of Earth Alliance Joanne Kilic called them "just strange guys", who are not dangerous for the whole galaxy. Terrorists group usually destroying by the special forces of Coalition.
But after the Achaeron League foundation, many experts started to think, that League and its council can be connected with strange cults. Cults started to be more active after the first summit of League. Coalition intelligence explored more cults in almost 20 planets of the known galaxy.

"Gortenzius" Rebellion
It all started with the Earth Civil War in 2240. Then the Earth Alliance discovered a unique island on its main planet in the Pacific Ocean region. The island arose literally out of the water for inexplicable reasons. The President of the Earth Alliance, Orillano Fryazin, has given the order to investigate the mysterious artifact. The island turned out to be filled with traces of the oldest human civilization, whose age was 60,000 years, and this meant that the age of this civilization is much older than the Hyperborean era. Scientists have investigated mysterious structures in the form of stepped pyramids. They were confused by the giant statues of monsters, more reminiscent of all sorts of African gods. Orliano Fryazin and his researchers pulled out strange sources from the pyramids, which were then given to cybernetics. Deposits of minerals were also discovered that no one on Earth knew about. The so-called "Pan American Coalition" from the Alliance government immediately united against Fryazin. She advocated the destruction of the island and the cessation of its research due to the presence of a mysterious witchcraft power. The representatives of the African-Asian peoples in the government of the Earth, on the contrary, supported Orliano and his instincts. It ended with the fact that Fryazin was impeached. But Orliano responded by ordering the arrest of opposition leaders. This caused a storm of indignation throughout the Earth Alliance. Upon learning of the unrest on Earth, many of the Alliance colonies began to consider independence. Orillano continued to persist and arrest everyone who did not agree with his ideas. In 2241, a massive uprising took place on Mars, which was suppressed by the forces of Fryazin. And in 2242 the opposition attempted a military coup. But Orliano and his commandos repulsed the attacks of the rebels. Soon Fryazin declared his presidency for life, and then ordered the execution of all opposition leaders for treason.
The dictatorship of Orillano has caused outrage among the allies of the Earth Alliance and all alien powers. In 2243, Orliano Fryazin's regime collapsed. Most of the money went to cybernetic research and the extraction of minerals from the mysterious Pacific island. The island turned into a Forbidden Zone, where only military and scientists worked. Orillano was unable to hold on to the post of dictator due to economic reforms. Unemployment and crisis swept almost all territories of the Earth Alliance. The Defense Ministry launched a new military coup and overthrew Fryazin. Orliano died during the assault on the presidential palace. The militarists came to power in the Earth Alliance. The military continued to rule the power for a whole year under the strict supervision of the Elf'urr Empire. However, in 2245, Orillano's supporters again took power. The new coup was not long in coming. The former military scientist of Fryazin, William Gundahar, received the presidency. By his special order, special combat vehicles based on technologies from the forbidden Pacific island were brought to the streets of the Alliance cities. Elf'urr demanded information about cyber technologies from Gundahar, but the President of Earth refused to do so. Then the Elf'urr officially broke the alliance with the Earth Alliance. Gundahar announced his new Doctrine of the Unliving Warriors, as well as that in the near future not a single living person would die in battle. The doctrine was supported by most of the inhabitants of the Earth Alliance. Soon, however, the supporters of the old military dictatorship managed to hack into several factories for the production of military vehicles and gained control over the armies of robots.
The rebels sent an army of machines against President Gundahar. Other robotic armies, in favor of legitimate authority, rushed into the rebel forces. Fierce battles took place between robots in many territories of the Earth Alliance. President Gundahar, together with military scientists, decided to urgently rectify the situation by using a secret plan conceived by Orillano Fryazin. After the discovery of the mysterious island in the Pacific Ocean, many information sources were researched by scientists. This led to the creation of a powerful program, codenamed "Hortensius". Orillano and Gundahar planned in the future to transfer control of all war machines to this program, the mysterious Overmind. Gundahar and his scientists connected Hortensius to all combat robots on Earth, and at the same time gave him control of the Alliance's defensive systems. But to the dismay of the President of Earth, "Hortensius" did not defend the state from the rebels. He quickly reprogrammed all existing machines and brought them down on living beings. In just one day, the mutinous robots killed up to 80 thousand people. Escaped from the control of the government, "Hortensius" began a total seizure of the Earth and the surrounding planets, gaining control of the machine hordes. The Earth Alliance and many galactic states were on the brink of destruction. Upon learning of the AI uprising, the Elf'urr immediately reversed their differences with humans and re-formed an alliance with the Earth Alliance and President Gundahar. Alien allies helped the earthlings to cope with the machine hordes throughout the solar system. "Hortensius" continued to broadcast from a mysterious Pacific island. Gundahar urgently set up a special forces group and sent it to the island to eliminate the AI. As a result of the hardest battles, "Hortensius" was destroyed by a nuclear warhead, along with all the ruins of an unknown city. However, Gundahar also failed to survive. One of the drones managed to finish off the President of the Earth even before the liquidation of "Hortensius". Following the machine riot, the Earth Alliance imposed special restrictions on the use of robots. The new government has canceled research on all forbidden technologies. The project to study the Pacific Ocean for the detection of fragments of ancient civilizations was stopped. The newest organised Coalition Council assiduously assisted in the reign of peace and tranquility.

It's interesting that Egyptian culture appears in different ways, in the Elfurr Empire and also in the ancient stepped pyramids discovered by the Earth Alliance on the unique island in 2240. It seems that this futuristic universe has connections far back into the Earth's past.
Earth have also the interesting story. Many of pyramides and ziqqurates, which were explored by scientists, are not the products of mankind. For example, Pyramides from Gyza were the monuments of Elfurr race. Its project was created near 10000 BC. Elfurr built it because of their respect to Earth people. Later, egyptian tribes created own civilization and borrowed many Elfurr things. Also Egyptian mythology and religion is also from Elfurr culture.
American pyramides weren`t created by Elfurr. But their creator was unknown. Maybe Lemurian arch-civilization. Maybe Athlantys Empire. But not Hyberborea.
Scientists also explored the 4 biggest and powerful civilizations of the humans race:
1. Lemuria (almost 70000 BC)
2. Hyperborea (almost 20000 BC)
3. Athlantys (almost 10000 BC)
4. New Civilization (modern humans, Anno Domini period)
Other scientists alienologists said, that humans can have 5 civilization periods. They thought that humans can be more ancient, what it seems. Human first civilization would appear in the period of Sovi-Lar Dominion, millions years ago. Sovi-Lar Dominion Era is the age of Sovi-lar race ascendancy. Sovi-Lars can be mysterious creators of the human race.
Kho-Nari Empire
Kho-Nari Empire is controlled by the Kho-Nari, intelligent insectoid race, which is very ancient in the universe. Outwardly, they resemble a cross between insects and arthropods. They have many limbs, eyes and strong chitinous armor. They haven`t got sex (male of female, because they are bi-genders. Kno-Nari can be the descendants of the extincted Zzhuz`hczch race, which controlled the galaxy 12 million years ago. They are connected with their relatives from Ara-Hnii Collective and Zenovians. But they prefer to have own states near the end of main galaxy. Kho-Nari are not agressive, and its wisely to call them, peaceful race. For now they are controlling by Archpriest Fei Hoa Tscholopaltzin Achikulantzoltle (he prefer to call himself as simply Fei Hoa). The helpers and advisors council is also exists, and have name of Sardurii Chamber. Every Sardurii is a highest Kho-Nari noble. Kho-Nari are very religious and believe in a Absolute Creator. They also have own technologies. Kho-Nari are peaceful, but can be a really dangerous in battle. They have a biggest space fleet with many kind of battleships. Their ships are always have form of giant black mantis. They are not racists, so in their army can serve every person from every race of galaxy.
For now Kho-Nari Empire is a part of the Achaeron League. In 2593 Archpriest Fei Hoa is officially made an alliance with League Consistorium. He is now the part of this council. Many experts are thinking that Kho-Nari Empire was forced by the League. Fei Hoa always was wise and peaceful, and his friendship with League can`t be the real and true.
Arthandir Galacticum Republic
Arthandir Republic is the descendant of the mighty Arthandir empire, which was reorganised near the 1940 AD. It always was the mighty and powerful realm with ancient dynasties in a high government. After the Crimson Revolution, Republicans came to power. Since then, Artandir began to lean not towards human domination, but towards alliances with other races. Over time, the power has become an international and interracial state. Now the Artandir Republic is not so much a human association as an association of many galactic civilizations. She is part of the Coalition of the Galaxy. It is now headed by 47 years old President Cedric, one of the most popular metal artists in the universe. His metal band "Cool Dudes of Cedric" is still considered the best of all musical groups. Artandir's army and navy are always at the service of the Coalition. The technologies of this republic are mixed. They use both the science of extinct civilizations and the technological knowledge of Elfurr.
Unn-Chorr Empire and Khazaar Ikhanate
Unn-Chor and Khazaars races are relatives. They are tall, grey-skinned and slim alien species with big and long heads, with some outgrowths and also fast-hearted organism-growing system. Their home is in Galaxy M33, but they have also lands in the Main Galaxy (Milky Way). Khazaars are having only 2 hands, Unn-Chor have 4, and also more eyes in the head. Both of these civilizations have a strong space fleets. Khazaars prefer to live in Tumens, space armadas, because of their nomadic past. Some thousand years ago Khazaars were space nomads, who lived by invasions to other worlds. Unn-Chor were always more peaceful. They always prefer to live in planets, instead of their relatives. Khazaars always had a strong absolute monarchy in government. Unn-Chor - not, because they were more democratic in it. Unn-Chorr usually had a Council government and sometimes teocratic power with a priest in the high stage.
Khazaars are living by the war and force. Thousand years they have a big number of warlords, who were extremely agressive to other nations. Also there was a time of a biggest war between Khazaars and Unn-Chorr. Its happened over 8000 BC, when Khazaar king Narayana Karama-Jaharana attacked Unn-Chor sector in the Galaxy M33. After this war, Khazaard and Unn-Chorr decided to save their "relatives politics" and stop all conflicts. After thousand years, in 2300, both of these races joined th Coalition.
For now Khazaars and Unn-Chorr states are parts of the Achaeron League. In 2593 these races left the Coalition and created the League Consistorium. First leader and high priest of League, Olmec Rllandris - is the representative of Unn-Chor race. Also the Khazaar king Zindropa III Karama-Nanjahara is also the member of League Consistorium. These races are always didn`t like the Elfurr Empire growing. And now they are in war with them.
Byzantian Empire
Byzantian Empire - is a big state of human-hybrides, allied a thousand years with Elfurr. To say honest, this realm is a country of hybrides, because every human there prefer to have relationship with Elfurr girls. So there are a lot of half-elfurrs in this empire. State is the part of Coalition. Now its controlling by the Emperor (dominus) Honorius Lentull Flavius Agricolanus, also known as Honorius The Builder. Empire is a really like Rome in the ancient Earth. Its have almost the same traditions and many elements. But the main government system there is a constitutional monarchy. Honorius is ruling with the help of Magnificum Sincletum (Senate). Sincletum helps the emperor to control on his state (its have 2 chambers - Patrician Councilium and Chamber of Commons). Byzantian empire have a capital in the planet Caesargrad in the Dominum sector. Its also have a good army and fleet. Byzantines are allies of Elfurr and Coalition. And they will never betray their mighty friends.
For now Byzantine empire is in war with Achaeron League, as other Coalition members. High patrician Eldran Siagrius is a part of the Coalition government. Pheotokius, great protostrator of Byzantines, is the high commander of Coalition diversion forces and safety service.

Wacken Thursday in retrospect
TALES FROM mY iPhONE WRITTEN AS I GO(complete with baaad spuling and typoos)
As I walk out for the first of my live action on day 2, I enter the Black Stage area to see a giant wooden reindeer evoking images of some fabled historic horse (minus the beer bamboozled occupants) and to hear Biff from Saxon say the following:
"There's a massive balloon that looks like a giant condom! It's going to go 20 miles in the sky. Thomas and Holgar have asked us to play a song to launch it...this one is called "The Eagle Has Landed"..."
To be fair it isn't how my typical Thursday works, but it ain't half bad!
The weather has held, I am writing this on a smart phone because it is the only thing smart enough to find the internet right now, the mud is starting to harden and the sun had decided to peak out for a bit here and there.
Security has dictated that no-one can bring a bag onto the infield (although several creative sorts are wearing patch-covered sleeveless waistcoats with a zipped 'bag' built into the back) but other than that, Wacken remains a stadt outside any other jurisdictions. A place to escape from everything -whatever, daily life, global strife, what-fucking-ever! And as I absorb the relaxed, loose and uniquely communal vibe of Wacken (because this feels like a matter of honour for every single attendee) Saxon have just crisply crushed "20,000 Feet" and are into "Dogs of War" before Biff dedicates "Heavy Metal Thunder" to Lemmy, declaring that Lemm thought it was 'mad' the first time he hear it. Which would've been the vintage moments right after it was written...oh, and there are LOTS of boots everywhere. Boots and shorts. It makes sense. Trust me. I am in the legion too!...
Weather Report (not Jaco Pastorius!)...it pissed down again today and the mud got thick thick thick as rubber brick...but we trudgers, the tens of thousands of us, we soldiered on. Because that is what you do!
It is 9.30 and I am back at the Wasteland Stage...I LOVE the Wasteland and all it's tribal MaxMaxpostapocalyptic fuck youness. I have no idea who the fuck this is onstage right now, a five piece of grotty Vikingesque grebo-like stature with a dirty low-down riffing groove who just had theatre-maximus with two warrior wasteland girls and a fat cat throwing money around. With FIRE JETS! (I would later learn this fantastically decrepit bunch are Monstagon).
Their filthy groove machine is rooted in big fat low Ds and some serious swagger. Yeah...this is the sort of party I like...there's massive medieval swords and horns about 100ft away (for sale) and hybrid burn-you-down road warrior super vehicles. Yeah. I like this a lot. In fact, my boots are rooted...Monstagon!
...Watching Maiden is a reminder that families always find each other, work for each other, support each other and (when it seems most impossible) stick together. What hasn't this band achieved? Yet here they are, once again pouring it all in, once again connecting with 80,000 people, once again together in their most potent line-up. Murray, Gers and Smith, triple axe attack metal mayhem madness and YES that is written with FULL purpose 80s alliteration, because it is time travel, pure fucking metal time travel, underpinned by Steve Harris and his limber bouncing groove and Nicko McBrain's thunderous tub-thumping. A long and teenagy-80s-scribe wordy sentence for a deliriously long and delightfully timeless icon.
Meanwhile, when he isn't flying 747s or bouncing around the stage like it's a giant trampoline, Bruce Dickenson kicks cancer's arse. And then continues flying planes and bouncing around stages and singing singing SINGING. That is inspirational! By the way, I just witnessed him wearing a chimp mask on the back of his head and asking 'who wants a banana?' before he launched two of them deep into the crowd backwards! ...
The bomber flew so proudly, Phil and Mikkey were tremendous, but hearing Lemm's voice brought shivers down my spine and tears through my face. I didn't want to (he certainly wouldn't have asked for it!) but who has control over that? I was close to this man for 34 years and a die-hard fan for longer. To hear his voice so loud over the PA again hit 'that' note. I hardly drink these days, but I have a double Jack in front of me. Sorry Lemm, no coke, just the Jack. I love him, I miss him and I suspect you do too. So did the 60,000 who roared his name tonight. There will never be another Lemmy Kilmister....I meant to send this 20 minutes ago, but got waylaid by some cheese?...ah bollocks to
this, HE would NOT want it to end like this. So have a drink, play "Always Look On The Bright Side Of Life" and sing ying-tong-iddle-I-po really really loudly through your neighbour's letterbox!!!!! Goodnight boys and girls!

WWI Pair to Captain B.P.G. Hunt R.F.C., the Red Baron’s 12th Victim
WWI pair to Capt B.P.G. Hunt, shot down by The Red Baron and taken prisoner, was offered on 19th October 2011. Estimated at £300, fierce competition in the room resulted in a realisation of £2,530.
Benedict Philip Gerald Hunt was born on the 6th December 1894, the son of Rowland and Georgiana Hunt of Boreatton Hall, Baschurch where the family had lived for a number of generations. He was commissioned as a Second Lieutenant in the Shropshire Yeomanry on 22nd October 1914 just after the outbreak of war. He remained in the UK undergoing pilot training which he past successfully being awarded his Royal Aero Club Aviators Certificate on the 14th December 1915. He was seconded to the Royal Flying Corps and appointed Flying Officer on 21st March 1916.
He was subsequently promoted Lieutenant on 1st July 1916, and granted temporary Captain as a Flight Commander on the 5th December 1916. Just 6 days later he was flying a DH2 fighter with 32 Sqn RFC over Mercatel near Arras on 11th December 1916, when he had the unfortunate experience of running under the guns of Baron Manfred Von Richthofen “The Red Baron” flying an Albatross DII and his comrades of Jatsa 2. He became the 12th plane to be shot down by “The Red Baron”, but was able to crash land behind the German lines and while being wounded and taken Prisoner of War, he was fortunate to survive the encounter. Only 18 crews/pilots of his 80 kills survived to tell the tale.
Hunt had been with 32 Sqn since July 1916 and seen combat on a number of occasions. He claimed an enemy aircraft shot down on 15th October, a share of another on 16th November, and another scout on 23rd November, so claimed two and half enemy planes.
On 11th December 1916 his Sqn were escorting 6 FE2b aircraft of 26 Sqn whose mission was to bomb supply dumps and railway sidings near Morchies. Richtofen’s combat report states “About 1145 I attacked with Lt Wortmann, at 2,800 metres altitude, and south of Arras, enemy one-seater Vickers squadron of 8 machines. I singled out one machine and after a short curve fight I ruined the adversary’s motor and forced him to land behind our lines near Mercatel. Occupant not seriously wounded.”
He was held in a German POW camp until the 9th April 1918 when because of illness he was exchanged to Holland where he was interned for the rest of the war and repatriated on 18th November 1918. He relinquished his commission on the 30th September 1921. He lived until the age of 64 and died on the 7th October 1958.
The full medal details are WWI BWM and Victory Medal to Capt B.P.G. Hunt R.A.F. with copies of MIC, London Gazettes and copied research including extract from “Under the Guns of the Red Baron” which includes a photo of the recipient by Franks, Giblin and McCrery.

The Latest: UCLA has 3 positive tests in athletic department
An Aston Villa member of staff wearing a mask holds a soccer ball as he walks by the pitch ahead of the English Premier League soccer match between Aston Villa and Southampton at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, Sunday, Nov. ... more >
By The Associated Press - Associated Press - Friday, November 6, 2020
UCLA’s athletic department has had three people test positive for the coronavirus, including a football player.
Liberal activist charged in Capitol riot is released on house arrest
Norway warns of possible COVID-19 vaccine risks for frail, elderly following deaths
The Pac-12 Conference has already postponed two games, but the Bruins’ season-opening matchup at Colorado is still on. Players will be tested before kickoff per conference policy.
UCLA, which is issuing testing updates every Friday, also reported a rowing team member and a support staff member within the athletic department have tested positive.
The Detroit Lions had a staff member test positive for COVID-19 and the team entered the league’s intensive protocol.
The unidentified staffer immediately self-quarantined and had not been in the Lions’ practice facility for the last 48 hours.
“We will continue to take precautionary measures at our Allen Park practice facility,” the Lions said in a statement. “The health and safety of our players, coaches and staff remains our top priority. We will continue to follow the guidance of the NFL, its medical staff and our team doctors as we prepare for Sunday’s game against Minnesota.”
For that game, Detroit WR Kenny Golladay (hip) has been ruled out, along with DBs Jamal Agnew (ribs) and Tracy Walker (foot).
The Green Bay Packers placed linebacker Krys Barnes and reserve quarterback Jordan Love on the reserve/COVID-19 list.
The list is for a player who has tested positive or has been in close contact with an infected person.
Barnes played in the Packers’ 34-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night. The Packers announced in the first half he had left with a calf injury.
Two Conference USA games scheduled for this weekend have been postponed due to COVID-19 positive tests and contact tracing protocols.
Charlotte’s game at Middle Tennessee and UTSA’s visit to Rice have both been called off. In all, nine Bowl Subdivision games this week were either canceled or postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic, bringing the total to 46 since Aug. 26.
“We are extremely disappointed to have to postpone our game at Middle Tennessee,” said Mike Hill, the 49ers athletic director. “The health and safety of everyone involved, however, remains the top priority during these challenging times.”
Attempts will be made to reschedule both games.
“After a great win last week at Southern Miss, I know our team was excited to get back on the field at home and renew the series with UTSA,” Rice athletic director Joe Karlgaard said. “But the virus remains a constant challenge to our efforts to play this season.”
The Cincinnati Bengals closed their training facility after two players tested positive for COVID-19.
The team said in a statement that players have not been in the facility since Wednesday and will not return until next week. The Bengals have a bye week and don’t play again until Nov. 15.
Even with an off week, players had to remain in Cincinnati and are being tested for the coronavirus daily. The players with positive tests were not identified.
The Bengals beat the Tennessee Titans last week and are 2-5-1 at the season’s halfway point.
The Chicago Bears activated starting right guard Germain Ifedi from the Reserve/COVID-19 list on Friday.
Ifedi was placed on the list along with backup offensive tackle Jason Spriggs on Tuesday. Coach Matt Nagy said this week that Spriggs tested positive for the coronavirus and Ifedi was put on the list because of a close contact.
The Bears canceled practice and closed their facility Thursday after another player tested positive. The team was cleared that night by the NFL to practice Friday.
Chicago plays at Tennessee on Sunday.
Italy coach Roberto Mancini has tested positive for the coronavirus days before the international break.
The Italian Football Federation says Mancini shows no symptoms and is self-isolating at his home in Rome.
The Italy squad will meet up on Sunday. It plays an international friendly against Estonia on Wednesday, and hosts Poland in the Nations League four days later.
The Atlanta Falcons canceled practice and worked virtually Friday after a member of the football staff tested positive for COVID-19.
The Falcons said the move was “out of an abundance of caution” while contact tracing is used to determine if anyone else might have been exposed.
The team expects to play Sunday’s game against the Denver Broncos.
“The whole reason we’re doing it is to get guys to the game,” coach Raheem Morris said. “We want to make sure we go through all the precautionary measures to play the game. Everybody wants to play the game. ”
A Miami Dolphins assistant coach tested positive for COVID-19 and was quarantined, and the team entered the NFL’s intensive protocol, the Dolphins said in a statement Friday.
The identity of the coach was not revealed.
It was the first coronavirus case involving the Dolphins since Aug. 19, but their regular-season schedule was changed because of outbreaks involving other teams.
They’re scheduled to play Sunday at Arizona.
The Houston Texans returned to their facility on Friday, a day after it was closed following a positive COVID-19 test by a player.
Interim coach Romeo Crennel said the team had no more positive tests and it would resume practice Friday for Sunday’s game at Jacksonville.
Linebacker Jacob Martin’s positive test on Wednesday night forced the closure of the facility Thursday. Linebackers Whitney Mercilus and Dylan Cole will also miss Sunday’s game after the NFL determined they had been in close contact with Martin.
Jockey Christophe Soumillon has left Keeneland and is in isolation after positive PCR COVID-19 tests.
A statement from the Breeders’ Cup says the French rider was tested Wednesday and is not showing symptoms. Those he came in contact with since arriving have received negative results after additional testing. Connections for both horses have also been notified.
Soumillon was scheduled to ride Irish horses Order of Australia in the Breeders’ Cup Mile and Tarnawa in the Turf. His positive test was the only one of 55 given to all Breeders’ Cup jockeys.
The top two divisions in Czech soccer will be allowed to restart after a month break caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
Sports competitions were stopped in the Czech Republic on Oct. 12 amid a record surge in virus infections.
The government has agreed to allow exceptions under strict conditions. Soccer will be the first to resume. The games will be played in empty stadiums.
The top division says all players and staff will have to undergo virus tests between games. The league will restart with a match between Jablonec and Brno on Friday.
Czech clubs Sparta Prague, Slavia Prague and Liberec were allowed to play in the Europa League despite the ban on games in the country. They all currently have several players who have tested positive for the coronavirus.

PPQ Spring/Summer 2012 Ready-To-Wear collection
A <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/fashion/designer/ppq" target="”_blank”">PPQ show is never just a show, it’s a party. The music is the sort that gets you more than tapping your feet, the audience is the sort that keeps the paps on their toes – it was Peaches Geldof doing it this evening - and the clothes are the sort that are wearable, fun and cheeky.
Tonight we had plenty of all, not to mention bling – via PPQ patches as prints and embroidery - and reasons to celebrate the London label’s collaborative powers that be. See the spindly-heeled and colourful shoes by Michael Lewis, the super cool embroidered <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2011/08/18/bebaroque-tights-collection-for-ppq" target="”_blank”">denim by Lee Jeans and the exquisite ribbon and <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/2011/09/13/ppq-and-lee-jeans-collaboration" target="”_blank”">bejewelled Bebaroque tights.
“They approached us and we were both looking at the same idea – vintage Versace, jewels dazzling – so it was an easy and natural step,” said Bebaroque’s Chloe Patience and Mhairi McNicol backstage after the show. “We created a capsule collection of hosiery, leggings and body-con dresses.”
Accessories aside, Amy Molyneaux and Percy Parker - the minds behind PPQ– are going sweet on us next summer – in chocolate box shades of bonbon pink, parma violet and sherbet lemon, all wrapped up as cute mirco length button-up dresses and bra tops and billow-y sleeved blouses and PPQ-logo-ed prints.
But they’re not going too sweet, mind, remember the PPQ girl isn’t really one to be messed with and has a good dose of attitude and humour to go with her look – the Zorro masks and hats a case in point today. While the collection might have been called Heirloom Blues, as the show closed to toes tapping and plenty of clapping, it doesn’t look like summer will be looking very blue at all.

What is a Bimetallic Strip?
A bimetallic strip is a simple device which converts thermal energy into mechanical motion. It is used as a thermally activated switch or heat indicator and works on the principle of differential expansion of heated dissimilar metals. The bimetallic strip is made up of two different metals which are bonded together to form a straight, flat strip or a concentric coil. When the strip is heated, one of the metals heats up and expands faster than the other, causing the strip to bend. This mechanical deflection is then harnessed in various ways to switch electrical circuits or move a dial to a give heat value indication.
Man with a drill
When any solid, fluid, or gas is heated, its molecules start to move away from each other leading to expansion. As long as a heated material is not contained at some point, it will expand in a balanced fashion. If, for some reason, the material is contained or prevented from expanding along one of its surfaces, the unrestrained expansion in the rest of the material will cause it to deflect or bend. Obviously some materials will heat up quicker or expand more than others depending on their molecular structure. If two such dissimilar materials bond together, the one that heats slower will restrict expansion along one face of the other and cause this deflection phenomenon to occur.
This principle of thermal deflection of dissimilar materials is utilized to supply heat-related mechanical motion in a wide range of electrical and measurement equipment. Bimetallic strips are generally constructed of two dissimilar metals with brass and steel and copper and steel being typical combinations. The two materials are typically welded, brazed, or riveted together to produce an even, secure union between the two contact faces. Bimetallic strips may be formed as straight or concentric coil spring type elements. Their physical deflection when heated is then harnessed in a variety of ways to achieve different functions.
One of the most common methods of utilizing the deflection of a bimetallic strip is employing the strip as an electrical contact to make or break circuits. Heater thermostats are a good example of this type of application and use the straight, unheated strip to maintain contact with a switch point and keep the heater circuit active. When the temperature rises to a predetermined point, the strip heats and bends, thereby breaking the circuit and switching the heater off. When the strip cools down again, it straightens and reactivates the heater circuit. This allows a constant temperature range to be maintained.
The coil type bimetallic strip tends to unwind as it heats and turns the needle of a dial type thermometer to indicate a temperature value. Bimetallic strips are also used as thermal overload devices to cut the power supply to electrical equipment when they draw excessive current or physically overheat. The known expansion characteristics of the different metals in the bimetallic strip allows for very accurate tailoring of these devices to operate at exact temperatures. This makes the strips a reliable and affordable method of using heat as a control or measurement input.

Top Republican staff changes have resulted in the promotion of state Rep. Joe Sweeney of Salem to executive director of the New Hampshire GOP, while current party executive director Elliot Gault will return to Gov. Chris Sununu’s office, WMUR has learned.>> Download the FREE WMUR appSweeney will move from his current role as NHGOP communications director to executive director Monday, Jan. 4, while Gault will assume a role in the governor’s office during January, according to a statement provided to WMUR by the party.Gault’s role and title in his return to the governor’s office have not yet been announced. Sununu announced Dec. 18 that he had approved the nomination of his office's policy director, D.J. Bettencourt, as deputy commissioner of the Insurance Department, but there is no definite word at this point that Gault’s return is related to Bettencourt’s move.Sununu and NHGOP Chair Stephen Stepanek praised both Sweeney and Gault.“Joe and Elliot were instrumental in our 2020 success, helping us take back control of the State House,” Sununu said. “I’d like to welcome back Elliott to my team and congratulate Joe on his new role. He will do great things for the New Hampshire Republican Party.”Stepanek said: “After successfully managing our united NHGOP efforts as Executive Director to take back the state House, Senate, and Executive Council while reelecting our governor, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Elliot Gault for all of his work here this cycle.“We know Elliot will serve the people of New Hampshire well in the governor’s office in this upcoming term.“I am pleased to announce that Joe Sweeney, current NHGOP Communications Director, will be replacing Elliot as Executive Director on Jan. 4, and our united Republican Party will build on our successes of 2020 as we seek to secure more victories during the 2022 midterm elections and beyond,” Stepanek said.Sweeney has been the NHGOP communications director since June 2017 and previously headed his own video, film and media production firm. He has also been chair of the New Hampshire Young Republicans.He was reelected to the New Hampshire House in November, representing his home town of Salem, after previously serving as a House member from December 2012 to December 2016.Gault was Director of Appointments and Liaison to the Executive Council in Sununu’s office from July 2017 until moving to the NHGOP in May 2019.He was previously a legislative assistant in the New Hampshire House Majority Office, the statewide recruitment director for former Sen. Kelly Ayotte’s 2016 reelection campaign and a staff assistant in Ayotte’s U.S. Senate office in Manchester.Gault said he was honored to serve as NHGOP executive director.“This past cycle, the NHGOP raised and spent more money than ever and we were able to defy the odds as the only state in the nation to flip our state Senate, House and Executive Council from Democrat to Republican,” Gault said “None of this would have been possible without Governor Sununu's leadership and the hard work of our activists and stakeholders.“The NHGOP has seen significant growth over the last two years and I couldn't be more excited to have Joe Sweeney continue to drive us toward future victories as our next Executive Director.”“I am excited to build on the great work we have accomplished in these last two years and I extend my congratulations to Elliot on his return to Governor Chris Sununu’s office,” Sweeney said.“I want to thank Chairman Stepanek, Vice Chair Pamela Tucker and the entire New Hampshire Republican Party for the trust they have placed in me with this opportunity to serve as the next Executive Director. “New Hampshire Republicans under Governor Sununu’s leadership will demonstrate our effective and efficient approach to governing, and we will continue to work with our State House teams to ensure we defend and expand our legislative majorities, hold the Executive Council and corner office in Republican control and send Republicans down to Washington in the 2022 midterms.”Both Gault and Sweeney are graduates of the University of New Hampshire.

Sweeney will move from his current role as NHGOP communications director to executive director Monday, Jan. 4, while Gault will assume a role in the governor’s office during January, according to a statement provided to WMUR by the party.
Gault’s role and title in his return to the governor’s office have not yet been announced.
Sununu announced Dec. 18 that he had approved the nomination of his office's policy director, D.J. Bettencourt, as deputy commissioner of the Insurance Department, but there is no definite word at this point that Gault’s return is related to Bettencourt’s move.
Sununu and NHGOP Chair Stephen Stepanek praised both Sweeney and Gault.
“Joe and Elliot were instrumental in our 2020 success, helping us take back control of the State House,” Sununu said. “I’d like to welcome back Elliott to my team and congratulate Joe on his new role. He will do great things for the New Hampshire Republican Party.”
Stepanek said: “After successfully managing our united NHGOP efforts as Executive Director to take back the state House, Senate, and Executive Council while reelecting our governor, I would like to extend my sincere thanks to Elliot Gault for all of his work here this cycle.
“We know Elliot will serve the people of New Hampshire well in the governor’s office in this upcoming term.

“I am pleased to announce that Joe Sweeney, current NHGOP Communications Director, will be replacing Elliot as Executive Director on Jan. 4, and our united Republican Party will build on our successes of 2020 as we seek to secure more victories during the 2022 midterm elections and beyond,” Stepanek said.
Sweeney has been the NHGOP communications director since June 2017 and previously headed his own video, film and media production firm. He has also been chair of the New Hampshire Young Republicans.
He was reelected to the New Hampshire House in November, representing his home town of Salem, after previously serving as a House member from December 2012 to December 2016.
Gault was Director of Appointments and Liaison to the Executive Council in Sununu’s office from July 2017 until moving to the NHGOP in May 2019.
He was previously a legislative assistant in the New Hampshire House Majority Office, the statewide recruitment director for former Sen. Kelly Ayotte’s 2016 reelection campaign and a staff assistant in Ayotte’s U.S. Senate office in Manchester.
Gault said he was honored to serve as NHGOP executive director.
“This past cycle, the NHGOP raised and spent more money than ever and we were able to defy the odds as the only state in the nation to flip our state Senate, House and Executive Council from Democrat to Republican,” Gault said “None of this would have been possible without Governor Sununu's leadership and the hard work of our activists and stakeholders.
“The NHGOP has seen significant growth over the last two years and I couldn't be more excited to have Joe Sweeney continue to drive us toward future victories as our next Executive Director.”
“I am excited to build on the great work we have accomplished in these last two years and I extend my congratulations to Elliot on his return to Governor Chris Sununu’s office,” Sweeney said.
“I want to thank Chairman Stepanek, Vice Chair Pamela Tucker and the entire New Hampshire Republican Party for the trust they have placed in me with this opportunity to serve as the next Executive Director.
“New Hampshire Republicans under Governor Sununu’s leadership will demonstrate our effective and efficient approach to governing, and we will continue to work with our State House teams to ensure we defend and expand our legislative majorities, hold the Executive Council and corner office in Republican control and send Republicans down to Washington in the 2022 midterms.”
Both Gault and Sweeney are graduates of the University of New Hampshire.

Even with Biden’s win, many organizers are continuing the fight for equality
ABC News Radio
DANIEL LEAL-OLIVAS/AFP via Getty ImagesBY: JADE LAWSON, ABC NEWS
(NEW YORK) — Even as many Americans celebrated Joe Biden’s election win, some Black Americans and people of color knew work still had to be done.
“Americans feel like we won a war,” Toni Sanders, an activist based in Washington, D.C., told ABC News.
“We were in the negative and now we’re back at zero,” she said, referring to the transition of power from President Donald Trump to President-elect Biden.
Many Black Lives Matter activists say they fear America’s strides in fighting racism and social injustice could regress in this new administration.
Erika Wilson, an associate professor of law at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said Biden’s victory could be deceiving.
“Instead of saying, ‘I voted for Barack,’ it’ll be, ‘I voted for Biden and against Trump,’ as the new measuring stick for saying that one is not racist,” Wilson told ABC News. “Going back to normal for Black people looks a lot different than it might look like for other folks in the sense that they’re not reminded daily through the president’s tweets or comments of America’s very close connections to racism and white supremacy.”
She added, “‘Normal’ is a wealth and wage gap, health disparities, extrajudicial killings by police officers. That is the baseline of ‘normal’ for Black people in America.”
While public outrage and uproar overtook the country this summer after the police-involved killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, America was also reckoning with “systemic racism.” These forms of racism are fixed and part of every institution, from law enforcement to education to housing.
Economic disparities are overwhelmingly disproportionate for Black Americans. At the height of the pandemic, the unemployment rate spiked for African Americans more than any other racial group, according to the Economic Policy Institute. In 2018, the overall income for Black Americans was about 42% lower than white Americans, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Author Michael Eric Dyson delves into racial unrest and the killings of Taylor, Floyd and Ahmaud Arbery in his new book, “Long Time Coming: Reckoning with Race in America.”
“Hopefully, the trauma and tragedy of these deaths will inspire you to stay on the battlefield that much longer,” Dyson, a professor at Vanderbilt University, said.
Dyson said white nationalists may continue to intimidate minorities after Trump leaves office. But he still believes the country’s progress toward racial equality will continue under Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris.
“This is an opportunity for us to push back and say no, we ain’t going back to the normal underground bigotry that was waiting for the opportunity to rise to the surface,” he argued.
Activists have called for dismantling systems built on the ideologies of racism and implicit bias, hoping that the same Americans marching on the front lines this summer for Black Lives Matter don’t stop fighting.
For many, the first step is urging non-people of color to challenge systems from within.
“You can’t just say, ‘I’m not racist.’ You have to be anti-racist, you have to fight against racism actively,” Sanders explained.
Added Dyson, “Now that you’re awake, stay awake. We cannot rest. If we rest, then we’ve lost what we’ve gained.”
Wilson is specifically calling for affirmative action programs and race-conscious measures.
“We have to continue to use the political energy that we mobilized to get Biden and Harris elected to push them to enact progressive policies that will not allow us to go back to normal, but that will hopefully undo some of the structural racism that creates these kinds of inequalities,” she said.
Dyson said the protests have to be broader to be effective.
“We’ve got to push white people to go into the streets as they did with us at the Black Lives Matter protests, but also come to corporate America, come to institutions of higher education, come to your jobs, your homes and do the hard but necessary work of challenging them from within,” Dyson said. “The war ain’t over.”

Resident Evil As A Netflix Original: Fake or Real?
by Kasey Moore @kasey__moore on February 21, 2017, 7:21 pm EST
For those with a deep love for Resident Evil, you may have seen the teaser poster going around proclaiming to there being a Resident Evil series in the works as a Netflix Original. Without an official announcement, these are just rumours, but we’re going to take a look at the possibility and whether this is a fake rumour or not.
A quick bit of background for those who aren’t aware. The Resident Evil franchise is from a video game series, but you may also know the movie adaptations too. The horror games have been releasing since the mid-90’s with the movie franchise following several years later. The film franchise wrapped up this year as well as Resident Evil 7 releasing on new platforms too.
The Resident Evil Poster is Fake
The version that our page shared out is pretty good at convincing you that the poster is, in fact, genuine as it carries the official Netflix logo as well as the Resident Evil one too. The first thing that struck me when I first saw it was that it’s very similar to the official posters for A Series Unfortunate Events. The series has so many possibilities and so much potential and then once I did some digging I found that’s it’s fake.
Using Google Image search, the results found a post six days ago from a website called truthimedia.com. The post announced that a Netflix Original series was in the works for Resident Evil. If you take a look at some of the other posts on that site, it’s fairly clear that it’s fake news.
Here’s the original poster.
When it then started making the rounds on social media sites, one diligent Redditor pointed out that it’s the door used in Eddie Murphy’s hit, Haunted House. So alas, it’s not to be, at least not yet.
We’re not saying it’s far away from the realms of possibility of ever being pulled off, though. Video game to TV adaptations haven’t always performed too well but with a great game being released this year it’s easy to see how it could make the jump.
With an absence left with the movie franchise wrapping up, it’d fill that whole quite nicely too. That, combined with a resurgence of horror in TV lately largely, in part, down to American Horror Story, it could be the perfect match.
It’s also worth pointing out that long before A Series of Unfortunate Events was announced, a fan-made trailer also made the rounds. Our point? Where’s there’s smoke there could be fire.
We’ll let you know of any updates.

‘Haggard’ Britney posts bizarre rant
by Eileen Reslen
11th Jun 2019 11:16 AM
BRITNEY Spears has accused paparazzi of editing photos to make her appear heavier, but the photo agency is denying any wrongdoing.
After photos of Spears, 37, and her boyfriend, Sam Asghari, on a beach in Miami surfaced online over the weekend, she took to Instagram on Sunday with what she called a "conspiracy theory".
"A lot of fans, in our world today, they always are subject to really criticise people and say that the pictures and videos that they're posting are either not on time or they're fake. But no one ever really asks, 'Are the paparazzi pictures fake, and do the paparazzi people do stuff to the pictures, and is the news really real?' It's a conspiracy theory that I'm actually interested in."

In Spears' video, the Piece of Me singer wears the same bright bikini top and black bottoms she wore under her cover-up in the paparazzi photos to prove she looks slimmer than in the photos that were released.
She also tells her followers she looks "haggard" because she had just gotten off a jet ski that smudged her eyeshadow.
Brit declares herself “skinny as a needle” in the strange vid.
"Yesterday, I went swimming," Spears continued. "I look like I'm 40 pounds bigger than I am today. This is how I am right now, and I'm skinny as a needle. You tell me, what is real?"
MEGA, the photo agency that released the photos in question, told Page Six the allegations were "ludicrous".
"We think Britney looks great, and it's ludicrous to suggest the photos or video were altered in any way," the rep said. "They were not. We shot thousands of photos of her over the weekend and are very happy to let her see the original files if she so wishes. It was good to see her happy and having fun, and we wish her well."
Meanwhile, some feel Spears is at the centre of another conspiracy theory. Fans have speculated the singer's father, Jamie Spears, who is in charge of her conservatorship, and her management team are posting old content online to make it seem like she is fine when she may not be.
Spears called out the conspiracy theorists last month with a video of her doing three outfit changes, saying, "For those of you who don't think I post my own videos, I did this video yesterday, so you're wrong, but hope you like it."
The star said the photo doctoring allegation was a conspiracy theory she’s very interested in. Picture: Britney Spears/Instagram
Spears' followers first began to show concern after she checked herself into a mental health facility in April amid struggles with her father's illness.

Texas on brink of record 13K in hospitals as virus surges
By admin January 5, 2021 January 5, 2021
FORT WORTH, Texas – Texas was on the brink Monday of surpassing a record 13,000 patients hospitalized with COVID-19 as the number of new cases after the Christmas holiday continued surging, including Rep. Kay Granger, who said she tested positive upon returning to Washington for the new Congress.
In a statement, Granger’s office said the 77-year-old Republican is asymptomatic and “feeling great!” It was unclear how she contracted the virus but Granger, a ranking member of the House Appropriations Committee, had received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine in December.
She had been scheduled to receive the second dose Wednesday but will now wait until she is through quarantining, said Michelle Koepp, a spokeswoman for Granger.
People are expected to get some level of protection within a couple of weeks after the first shot, but full protection may not happen until a couple of weeks after the second shot.
Texas has set new highs for hospitalized COVID-19 patients seven times in the past eight days. Nearly 16,000 new cases were reported Monday, and along the U.S- Mexico border, the small Texas city of Roma announced that longtime Police Chief Jose Garcia had died after contracting COVID-19. He had led the department for more than 27 years.
