To Survive in a Wetter World, Raise Ducks, Not Chickens
Farmers in Bangladesh are adapting to climate change, and it’s having an impact in faraway places—including on restaurant menus.

DHAKA, Bangladesh—Here at Binni, a slightly run-down restaurant in one of Dhaka’s trendier neighborhoods, beef, chicken, and mutton dishes are slapped down on the table with a mere murmur. But when the waiter brings Hash Bhuna to the table, he announces it to the whole room, laying down the plate and pulling off the ceramic lid with a theatrical hand flick.
Coated in a thick layer of spicy sauce, the duck (hash in Bengali) is succulent and dark, and well deserving of its reputation as a traditional South Asian delicacy. Once a special treat reserved for winter, Hash Bhuna is more and more available out of season. And in Dhaka’s growing number of East Asian restaurants, duck dishes are also always on the menu these days.
A four-hour drive away, in Bangladesh’s wetland region, Shopna Akter’s life, too, has changed. She used to raise chickens while her husband worked as a laborer on rice paddies nearby. Climate change has made that way of life unpredictable, though—sudden floods caused rice crops and chickens to perish and incomes to plummet. Recently the couple switched and began raising ducks, a business that is now prospering. The reason for their success? “Ducks,” Akter told me matter-of-factly, “can swim.”
They are part of a duck-farming program introduced by a local nongovernmental organization, BRAC, which, along with other NGOs elsewhere in the country, is trying to help farmers adapt to changing weather conditions. This is just one among a growing array of efforts to help the vulnerable around the world cope with the effects of climate change without forcing them to move away—the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre, a Switzerland-based NGO, says 17.2 million people were displaced worldwide last year because of fast- and slow-onset climate-related disasters. Yet programs such as the one here illustrate the manifold impact that such adaptation programs have, not just for those doing the adapting, but for others as well, affecting everyday issues such as what is on the menu at a faraway restaurant.
As a delta country, full of rivers and surrounded by the sea, Bangladesh is one of the places most affected by climate change, and the eighth most prone to natural disasters, according to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. It faces myriad issues, including rising sea levels, river and coastal erosion, increased water and soil salinity, flooding, drought, storms, and cyclones.

The Haors, the wetlands where Akter lives, used to have regular rains, says Miganur Rahman, a BRAC staffer, but now precipitation is unpredictable. There are periods of both unexpected flooding and drought. This has a big impact on paddy farmers: When the rain comes too early, they cannot harvest their crops, and lose their investment. Unpredictable rainfall in neighboring India also has an impact, says Feisal Rahman, a research coordinator at the International Centre for Climate Change and Development, a Dhaka-based think tank: The steep slope from the Himalayas means that when it rains across the border, the Haors are hit by “a deluge of water.”
BRAC is trying to scale up duck farming to create a more resilient livelihood for people in the Haors, where previously ducks were raised only on a small scale. The organization carefully selects people—mostly women—to receive training in duck raising and an interest-free loan of 100,000 taka (about $1,200).
The advantages of ducks for farmers such as Akter are several. Chickens catch infections much more easily than ducks do when they get wet, too hot, or too cold, Helal Uddin, the BRAC agriculturalist who first came up with the duck program, told me. And when it rained, Akter and her husband had to pay to raise the floor of their coop to protect the chickens, cutting into their profits. The couple “had to stress about selling them as soon as possible,” Akter said.
Ducks are also more profitable, selling for almost twice as much as similar-size chickens. While the price might eventually go down as supply increases, duck raising still provides a year-round income—unlike rice crops, which, because of the region’s weather patterns, can be harvested only once a year.
Mohamed Nazrul, a farmer in the Haors, has developed a thriving duck business. He and his small team take care of thousands of ducks, herding them to and from the water. (Susannah Savage)
Akter’s ducks are sold as meat, but others are involved in different parts of duck farming. A decade ago, Pinku Das and his wife, Shipra, started to raise ducks for eggs when his work as a day laborer was not bringing in enough money. For the first four years, the couple had only about 20 ducks, but after receiving a loan and training from BRAC, they were able to scale up their business. Now they have a few thousand ducks and are collecting at least 500 eggs a day, and their income has jumped about tenfold.
“It’s a huge value chain,” says Miganur Rahman, the BRAC staffer. “A whole economic shift is taking place, which started just a few years ago—all because of ducks.”
In just the Haors, BRAC says about 300 families are involved in hatching, 2,000 raise the ducklings, and an additional 4,000 farm adult ducks. Elsewhere in the country, the Bangladesh Red Crescent Society and CARE International run other duck-raising projects.
Nor is it just ducks. In the southwest of Bangladesh, crab fattening is on the rise. Its proponents hope crabs, which sell at high prices—especially the meatier ones—can form part of a new coastal economy, stemming the tide of migration to the cities.

Rising sea levels and the increased intrusion onto arable land of salt water, which makes soil infertile, have made traditional agriculture farming impossible for many who live in this region, which borders the Sundarban mangrove forest. As a result, farmers have, over several years, shifted from paddy farming to shrimp cultivation. This, however, has created fresh problems, as it requires regularly bringing more salty water inland, further destroying the farmland needed to grow crops and causing more environmental damage.
Much like the duck-raising programs, organizations such as the British-based charity Voluntary Service Overseas and the United Nations Development Program are providing loans and training for crab fattening. According to VSO’s program manager, Shafiqur Rahman, this is less environmentally damaging and more profitable than shrimp cultivation. Crabs are also more disease-resistant and more resilient to change in water salinity than shrimp are. And farmers typically need far fewer crabs, which are easier to take care of, to make the same profit. Besides crabs, the UNDP project is introducing cow, goat, and pig fattening and hydroponic vegetable-growing (which involves cultivating plants in a mineral-nutrient solution rather than soil) to help communities that have been left landless by river erosion and rising soil salinity. The efforts also have the consequence of arresting migration from these areas to cities. Sapna Khan, who lives on the edge of the Sundarbans, uses the additional money she has earned by raising goats to put her son through school. “I want him to be able to stay here and make a living, not have to leave for the city,” she told me.
The lives of Shopna Akter and her family have changed significantly since they started rearing ducks. Now, she says, they are much happier. (Savannah Savage)
In the Haors, Akter’s life has already changed. A few years ago, her ducks went no farther than the nearest town, Habiganj, where, in the local markets—at that time disconnected from national business chains—they were sold at artificially low prices.
Now they are carried by traveling duck traders along the bumpy tracks from her village of Kander Hathi to the Sylhet-Dhaka highway, and hawked in the hubbub of one of the capital’s bazaars. Finally, they end up diced and spiced on plates in restaurants like Binni, and in the bellies of well-to-do Dhakaites—happy to pay hundreds of taka for a morsel of Hash Bhuna.

If multiracial democracy cannot be defended in America, it will not be defended elsewhere.
The conservative intelligentsia flocked to the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C., this week for the National Conservatism Conference, an opportunity for people who may never have punched a time clock to declare their eternal enmity toward elites and to attempt to offer contemporary conservative nationalism the intellectual framework that has so far proved elusive.
Yoram Hazony, the Israeli scholar who organized the conference, explicitly rejected white nationalism, barring several well-known adherents from attending, my colleague Emma Green reported. But despite Hazony’s efforts, the insistence that “nationalism” is, at its core, about defending borders, eschewing military interventions, and promoting a shared American identity did not prevent attendees from explicitly declaring that American laws should favor white immigrants.

Amid a convulsive week in American politics, at one of the darkest rallies Donald Trump has ever held, his base showed up in force to tell the president he’s done nothing wrong.
GREENVILLE, N.C.—Before the rally began, I wanted to know why they’d come.
In the heavy, humid hours, I walked up and down the line winding through a parking lot at East Carolina University to interview some two dozen people who wanted to see the president. Many didn’t make it inside. About 90 minutes before Donald Trump took the stage, police announced that the 8,000-person basketball arena was full and those still waiting would have to watch on an oversize TV monitor set up outside. Rather than head home, they stuck around for a tailgate party of sorts.
Some cracked open beers and lit cigars, sitting on folding chairs in front of the TV. People walked by in shirts that read In Trump We Trust and Fuck Off, We’re Full. Earlier, in the 100-degree heat, a four-member family band called the Terry Train entertained the crowd with a song mocking CNN. Lying Wolf Blitzer and Lying John King. Don Lemon lies about everything … Erin Burnett, can you hear us yet? We’ll give you a story you can never forget. It built to this refrain: CNN sucks!

America’s urban rebirth is missing something key—actual births.
A few years ago, I lived in a walkup apartment in the East Village of New York. Every so often descending the stairway, I would catch a glimpse of a particular family with young children in its Sisyphean attempts to reach the fourth floor. The mom would fold the stroller to the size of a boogie board, then drag it behind her with her right hand, while cradling the younger and typically crying child in the crook of her left arm. Meanwhile, she would shout hygiene instructions in the direction of the older child, who would slap both hands against every other grimy step to use her little arms as leverage, like an adult negotiating the bolder steps of Machu Picchu. It looked like hell—or, as I once suggested to a roommate, a carefully staged public service announcement against family formation.

Personal-finance gurus really hate coffee.
Suze Orman wants young people to stop “peeing” away millions of dollars on coffee. Last month, the personal-finance celebrity ignited a controversy on social media when a video she starred in for CNBC targeted a familiar villain: kids these days and their silly $5 lattes. Because brewing coffee at home is less expensive, Orman argued, purchasing it elsewhere is tantamount to flushing money away, which makes it a worthy symbol of Millennials’ squandered resources.
Orman’s not alone in this view. The old guard of personal finance has spent years turning the habit of buying coffee into a shorthand for Americans’ profligacy, especially that of young Americans. Dave Ramsey, a finance personality who hosts a popular radio show on getting out of debt, says that forgoing lattes is one of four keys to saving thousands of dollars. Kevin O’Leary, one of the investors on the entrepreneurial reality show Shark Tank, once told CNBC, “I never buy a frape-latte-blah-blah-blah-woof-woof-woof.” Even the official Twitter account for Chase Bank has gotten in on the fun, intimating via meme that a failure to brew at home is why young people don’t have any money.

Her silence on the border crisis and on her father’s racist tweets shows she has abandoned even the pretense of being a voice of reason inside the White House.
Ivanka Trump wants it both ways.
Since joining her father’s White House as a senior adviser in early 2017, the first daughter has reserved the right to toggle between a strict and loose construction of her portfolio. When flashy opportunities arise—such as the chance to play diplomat with Kim Jong Un—the edges of her purview, which she often defines as “women’s economic empowerment,” become conveniently blurry. But when the issue du jour is particularly messy, she is quick to clarify its limits, thus absolving herself of accountability for problems that exist outside it. When The View’s Abby Huntsman, for example, asked Trump in February why she didn’t speak up about family separations along the U.S.-Mexico border, she objected that she is “not president of all women’s issues.”

I was already yawning when I sat down to watch Saturday Night Live one evening this past April. The host that night was Emma Stone, and the musical guest was BTS. I knew little about the seven-member South Korean supergroup—even though they had millions of fans worldwide, released multiple Billboard 200 chart-toppers, and recently delivered a speech at the United Nations. On Twitter, I saw plenty of enthusiasm, but also mockery directed at BTS and their followers. While I knew they would be the first K-pop act to perform on SNL, I had never listened to a BTS song before Stone introduced the first musical break.
The oh whoa ooh whoa backing vocals floated in, and a teasing bass line began as the lights went up to reveal seven figures—their backs to the camera—in dark suits and an array of hair colors. They swayed from side to side and spun around. Then the one with the pink hair started singing.

Robert Spada walked into the decrepit warehouse in Detroit and surveyed the chaos: Thousands of cardboard boxes and large plastic bags were piled haphazardly throughout the cavernous space. The air inside was hot and musty. Spada, an assistant prosecutor, saw that some of the windows were open, others broken, exposing the room to the summer heat. Above the boxes, birds glided in slow, swooping circles.
It was August 17, 2009, and this brick fortress of a building housed evidence that had been collected by the Detroit Police Department. Spada’s visit had been prompted by a question: Why were police sometimes unable to locate crucial evidence? The answer lay in the disarray before him.

Trump Knew Exactly What He Was Doing
The crowd in Greenville understood the president and his platform far better than he—or Republican senators—proved willing to admit.
Republican politicians saw what happened at President Donald Trump’s rally last night in Greenville, North Carolina, where a crowd chanted “Send her back!” about Representative Ilhan Omar, the Minnesota Democrat and U.S. citizen born in Somalia.
They didn’t like it. And they know who to blame: anyone but Donald Trump.
“The chants were offensive and very unfortunate,” Senator Mitt Romney said. “It did not speak well of that crowd.”
“People chant what they want,” said Senator John Barrasso. “I’d rather attack ideas than people.”
Senator Jim Inhofe is “not really convinced that the president himself knew what the shouting was.”

No one has done more to dispel the myth of social mobility than Raj Chetty. But he has a plan to make equality of opportunity a reality.
Raj Chetty got his biggest break before his life began. His mother, Anbu, grew up in Tamil Nadu, a tropical state at the southern tip of the Indian subcontinent. Anbu showed the greatest academic potential of her five siblings, but her future was constrained by custom. Although Anbu’s father encouraged her scholarly inclinations, there were no colleges in the area, and sending his daughter away for an education would have been unseemly.
But as Anbu approached the end of high school, a minor miracle redirected her life. A local tycoon, himself the father of a bright daughter, decided to open a women’s college, housed in his elegant residence. Anbu was admitted to the inaugural class of 30 young women, learning English in the spacious courtyard under a thatched roof and traveling in the early mornings by bus to a nearby college to run chemistry experiments or dissect frogs’ hearts before the men arrived.

Last night, while President Donald Trump was keeping up his attacks on four Democratic congresswomen of color at a rally in North Carolina, Merriam-Webster tweeted out that the most searched term in its online dictionary at that time was racism.
It’s been that kind of week—though hardly the first of its nature in the Trump era—when bigoted comments from the president have dominated the national discourse, and have led many to label the remarks as racist. That includes Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats (along with a few Republicans) in the House of Representatives, who passed a nonbinding resolution denouncing Trump’s “racist comments that have legitimized and increased fear and hatred of new Americans and people of color.”

Too Heavy For Your Pocket Reviews
Too Heavy For Your Pocket
TimeLine Theatre Company
Thru - Jun 29, 2019
Average Rating based on 12 reviews
Chicago Tribune- Recommended
"...I can see some thinking "Too Heavy" to be too old-fashioned or even stereotypical. I didn't see the small New York production, but I can tell you that Parsons and his designers treat the work like it's a fine example of classic American realism, rich in poetry, suffused with feeling, longing and upset, and determined to reflect the lives of ordinary people, whatever the urban elites might think."
Chicago Sun Times- Recommended
"...Director Ron OJ Parson's richly realized production leaves plenty to ponder. As it winds on, "Too Heavy for Your Pocket" becomes fractured. On one side, it's a domestic drama. On another, it's a commentary on the staggering price activists pay financially and emotionally. The issues compete with each other for dominance, to the play's detriment."
Catey Sullivan
Chicago Reader- Highly Recommended
"...Too Heavy dips its toe into issues of racism and civil rights, but it swims more deeply in everyday issues of marital fidelity, sacrifice, responsibility to friends and family, and fulfillment of one's own dreams. It's delightful to see a play that is at once simple and yet produces such profound change for all its characters. With an engaging, interactive lobby display about the Freedom Riders and civil rights movement, TimeLine reminds us that there is always a battle to achieve freedom—and how important that still is 60 years later."
Josh Flanders
Windy City Times- Recommended
"...Director Ron OJ Parson and a heavy-lifting cast toil mightily to impose on their paint-by-numbers text an intimacy sufficient to draw forth our empathy. However, despite artistic flourishes, Holder's propagandistic devices cannot help but proclaim their inspirational tract-like sensibilities—any more than Bowsie's Hollywood good looks and expertly tailored suit can reflect a rural upbringing and home-sewing skills of loving womenfolk."
Mary Shen Barnidge
Stage and Cinema- Recommended
"...In a play where silences signal so much, one captivating trope is the need to sit still and breathe hard, whether you’re on the margins or at these epicenters. In its ultimate appraisal, progress is always personal. This play reinvents change at its core — and values as they’re forged in choices good and bad."
Let's Play at ChicagoNow- Highly Recommended
"...Let's Play 'Highly Recommend' that you see this beautiful and formidable play at Timeline Theatre where a spirit-filled revival awaits and they explore the injustice of Black Americans that had to deal with the shocking truth of the issues of race, gender, power, faith, and politics."
Rick and Brenda McCain
Around The Town Chicago- Highly Recommended
"...One thing is for sure! When you go to a theatrical production at Timeline Theatre, not only will you be entertained, you will be educated! In their lobby, they always feature items and stories that help with the education portion of the evening ( or afternoon, for a matinee), but it is onstage where they shine. They are currently offering a Chicago "premiere", a drama that goes back to the 1960's and the Civil Rights movement. For many in the audience tonight, a time we lived through and for the younger audience members, a "message" in history that they may not have known about."
Alan Bresloff
NewCity Chicago- Highly Recommended
"...While parts of the play pivot on love, lust and loneliness, it all feels so much deeper. This is a work that moves the needle forward on what the theater is capable of, with a commendable expenditure of talent and effort on the part of everyone involved in this production. Though I will make an effort in terms of quantity, there is no quality of language I can find to effectively express my gratitude to this show. It is, in summary, a blessing."
Chicago Theatre Review- Highly Recommended
"...This awesome, highly engaging and enjoyable new human drama, set against the Civil Rights movement of the early 1960's, is both hard-hitting and heartbreaking. Staged upon Jose Manuel Diaz-Soto's lovely, detailed scenic design, with grass carpeting both indoors and out; lit with brilliance by Maggie Fullilove-Nugent, and costumed with care by Alexia Rutherford in her splendid colorful period frocks, this production marks the Chicago debut of Jireh Breon Holder, a young playwright to watch for in the future."
Colin Douglas
Buzznews.net- Highly Recommended
"...Too Heavy for Your Pocket at TimeLine Theatre is both an important play, and a good one. Powerful, but not too heavy to bear, with a rock-star cast directed by Ron OJ Parsons, it tells the story of the Freedom Riders – groups of blacks and whites who traveled through the segregated South in 1961 on Greyhound and Trailway's buses, asserting the new freedoms set under the Civil Rights Act of 1957."
Bill Esler
Chicago On Stage- Highly Recommended
"...Ultimately, this is a play about the choices we make, the need to stand up for ideals, the disruption that can cause, and the need for forgiveness. Each of us chooses the burdens we bear but, having chosen them, we need to be strong enough to carry them. All of these characters save Sally-Mae have made choices that adversely affect others—Evelyn’s is a hasty and frankly forced and unrealistic moment derived from her pain—and each needs to learn to live with them and learn that this is what humans do: we make decisions, some of which are unfortunate."
Karen Topham
PicksInSix- Highly Recommended
"...Director Ron OJ Parson, whose cousin was a Freedom Rider of the era, and a rich, vibrant cast artfully illuminate Holder’s absorbing study of the relationship between two couples consumed with a sense of purpose that is uniquely of the moment—characters seemingly plucked out of a town near Nashville in 1961 to tell a story of struggle against racial inequality."

WTF?!? Wukie to be Notre Dame's leprechaun mascot for first time ever.
Thread: Wukie to be Notre Dame's leprechaun mascot for first time ever.
Yogizorch
Wukie to be Notre Dame's leprechaun mascot for first time ever.
Notre Dame has confirmed that for the first time in the university's long and storied sports program history, a woman will handle leprechaun mascot duties during the 2019-20 school year.
Lynnette Wukie, a soon-to-be junior majoring in film, television and theatre, has been tabbed to be the iconic mascot at various sports events, including football and men’s and women’s college basketball, as well as other official appearances.
Wukie will share the leprechaun mascot duties with Samuel Jackson and Conal Fagan, who will be a junior and sophomore in the coming school year, respectively.
“We’re so excited to welcome Sam, Conal and Lynnette as next year’s leprechauns,” head cheerleading coach Delayna Herndon said in a statement. “Each bring their own strengths and personalities to the role, and I’m excited to see them represent Notre Dame on the sidelines next season. As such a visible representative of Notre Dame, the leprechaun is a role model to fans across the country, and we hope this group can inspire people of all backgrounds to see themselves as a vital part of the Notre Dame family.”
Students assuming the role of the iconic leprechaun mascot have been predominantly white males going back to when the mascot was officially introduced in 1965. Both Wukie and Fagan, however, are African-American. They join Mike Brown, who became the first African-American student to play the leprechaun mascot in 1999.
In a video application that ultimately led to her making history by landing the coveted leprechaun mascot role, Wukie asked, “Who says the Fighting Irish can’t fight like a girl?”

AMD Faces Lawsuit Over Llano APU Sales
by Kevin Parrish January 18, 2014 at 3:02 AM - Source: Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP
AMD is currently facing a class action suit by Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP who on Wednesday filed the complaint (pdf) in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The suit is on behalf of purchasers of AMD common stock between October 27, 2011 and October 18, 2012, aka the "class period," and accuses AMD of violating the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 over its "Llano" APU.
Essentially, the lawsuit claims that AMD misled its investors by using statements that led them to believe that the 32 nm "Llano" first-generation APU had better chances on the market than it really did. Here's more directly from the lawsuit:
During the Class Period, defendants repeatedly highlighted the “strong” and “significant” interest in, demand for, and unit shipments of, its Llano APUs. Defendants falsely and misleadingly represented that AMD’s desktop business was in a “strong position” and that it would “continue to rebound” in 2012. As late as April 19, 2012, defendants stated that the demand for the Llano APU was “higher than anticipated,” particularly in the “emerging markets” and that there were no “significant issues” in the important desktop market. Defendants, however, concealed that demand for Llano APUs in desktop devices was much weaker than suggested by their statements, especially in its Chinese and European markets.
In July 2012, AMD revealed a weak demand for Llano APUs in desktop devices, particularly in the Chinese and European markets. That resulted in AMD reporting a lower than expected revenue for the June 30, 2012 quarter. This, in turn, caused the price of AMD stock to decline nearly 25 percent on extremely heavy trading volume.
The lawsuit alleges that AMD execs "deceptively dismissed" the notion that the company's future gross margins would be "adversely affected by the large amount of unsold Llano inventory, when such inventory was unsalable, even at heavily discounted prices."
Weeks later, AMD announced that its gross margins for the fiscal 2012 third quarter declined more than 31 percent from its previous quarter, in large part, due to AMD's recording of an approximate $100 million inventory write-down, mainly attributable to the overstated value of the Llano. On this news, the price of AMD stock declined nearly another 17 percent on extremely heavy trading volume.
Two plaintiffs are listed in the class action suit, as they purchased stock during the Class Period and were "damaged" by the stock drop. They're seeking damages on behalf of all purchasers of AMD common stock during that period of time.

That is funny, I guess investors should visit some hardware sites before investing.

well they did say they gave up on the performance war more than a few years ago so who could blame them .. if some one would of done their research they would of known that those apu's are pretty sub par even compared to phenom 2 series. the current kaveiri are pretty much lack luster at the moment with no software to take advantage of the hsa they hyped up. I have high hopes for hsa and mantle but I wouldnt personally buy an apu for a desktop. maybe a media center device or a small form factor just to cut costs on a dedicated gpu. which is its entire value yea they might be good enough for your average user light years ahead of anything you could purchase back in 2000 but now days with intel having such a strong lineup its no wonder people are concerned.

this is a fishing expedition... what they're hoping for is access to corporate documents during discovery which will show some sort of shady business practice which defrauds investors. without that type of "discovery" this case won't even make it to court.
masmotors
i hope they lose and amd wins the gamble you take with stocks and amd apu are great better than intel igp hands down they are trying to pull a fast one

IMO they are stupid investor by just buying whatever the company said and don't do research by it's own...
or they too clever, try to make money from nothing using this lawsuit.......
(they should already known that market full of lies and deceives, it just how it was)
So I still made $1666 during those times, do I still sign up for the class lawsuit?
bustapr
these investors dort of deserve to lose their money if they have yet to understand that investing is at times unpredictable and spontaneous. AMD believe and had reason to believe that the APU would be a success because it had what alot of people wanted, which was a decent IGP and usable cpu all in one chip. it is indeed something people would want. sadly for them, the stocks were declining and sales were less than expected at the time. Thats how the market works at times, its all about gambles with a company like amd. If you lose your money on a gamble, then boohoo, dont complain to court about it.

maybe Intel is influencing those guys to try to sue AMD? Who knows... Intel is very well known for anti trust practices...

This is AMD..a company with Full of Lie..They lie to their Investors,Costumers and even to their Fanboy's..This is a lesson to us all,that premium stuff isn't cheap/free
Oh wow they're filing a lawsuit because they didn't get enough money... Talk about butt hurt.

Maybe because APUs are garbage. It's a made up market because they lost so badly to intel.
If APUs are garbage, why is Intel following suit? Most consumer Intel CPUs are APUs...
Um So Sandy bridge intel cpu was released in feb 2011 and Llano wasn't released til June that year. So who followed who?
As for things, AMD over last bunch of years tend to make claims above what the end product ends up being. They claimed bulldozer was gonna get them in the game then well it was complete crap. So real shock in all this, there hasn't been MORE lawsuits over these issues.

... but... it could make a precedent, to sue big giants, that caused the big financial meltdown...
This is dumb
hybird9012
I understand the lawsuit against EA but I don't understand this one... I think the "defendants" aka trial lawyers, just want to find a way to steal someone else's money.
SessouXFX
They could have asked a kid that was into computers to know those APUs weren't up to par....The judge should just toss this case out on it's rear.

As a computer technicia /techfan, sometimes I can be only wondering about these fanboyism.
I had Intel CPUs and now I have an AMD and I liked both of them...
Personally I like AMD for its price per performance and ability to Overclock them on low price range and I like Intel for its high performance and low power consumption, although I am aware that these companies are going on different ways at the moment. I do not understand why someone praise the one and hates the other. As a techfan I want AMD to be better, so there would be competition on higher ranges as well, although nowadays SOC became more and more popular
wittermark
Have you been living inside a cave all these past years?? People buy Intel because of their powerful and efficient CPU, Intel is lightyears ahead of AMD in that department. And if they wanted to play games with it, they'd just buy a dedicated graphics card (Nvidia),there is really no reason for AMD to exist at all, except for maybe driving the price down - and they aren't even doing a good enough job at that.
tntom
Just take a look at Anandtech's website! They have the Kaveri review (333 comments) and right above it is a giant Intel advertisement including a giveaway Intel product (2880 comments). This is what they are up against.Llano was a good product. I have two A6 ultrabook laptops with it and I use it everyday. If could have afforded a ultrabook with a Core i5 I would have purchased that instead. But review sites like Cnet always point out that the Intel powered devices are faster and never mention that APUs are good enough with equal or better graphics.
Novuake
Wow, there are some serious anti AMD sentiment in this comment section.Anyone with a VALID reason behind there claims of AMD being bad?
Why would you ask a question if you already know the answer?

A Popular YouTuber Read the Christchurch ‘Manifesto’ to Half a Million Subscribers
YouTube left the video online for over two days, allowing it to generate tens of thousands of views and spread to other channels.
by Joseph Cox
14 May 2019, 7:30am
Image: Sean Gallup/Getty Images
A popular farming, agriculture, and welding DIY YouTuber with more than 600,000 followers suddenly began posting openly white nationalist content on his channel and said he has been trying to subtly "red pill" his audience over the course of months. The YouTuber posted a video of himself reading the Christchurch shooter's "manifesto" and a second video in which he describes himself as a white ethno-nationalist. The hard pivot comes after the YouTuber spent a decade posting videos about welding troubleshooting, tractor repair, and "planting oats."
The new uploads come months after an attacker killed 51 people at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand.
As Motherboard previously reported, an internal Google email said moderating the so-called manifesto of the Christchurch attacker would be "particularly challenging," and told moderators to flag all material related to the attack as "Terrorist Content." But YouTube left this particular video online for over two days, allowing it to rake in tens of thousands of views; the company also first demonetized the video and put it behind a content warning, but did not immediately delete it.
Because the video and a follow-up that was also removed were allowed to get so many views, the YouTuber's pivot to far-right content has become a topic of conversation among other far-right YouTubers, who are praising him. Motherboard is not naming the specific YouTuber who posted the videos in order to avoid directing more people to the person's channel.
The news shows not only the failure of YouTube to keep clearly offending content off of its platform, even when users have already reported it for violating the site's policies, but also how popular YouTubers can be in an advantageous position to spread messages of hate if they choose to.
Do you work on Google content moderation, or used to? We'd love to hear from you. You can contact Joseph Cox securely on Signal on +44 20 8133 5190, Wickr on josephcox, OTR chat on jfcox@jabber.ccc.de, or email joseph.cox@vice.com.
The YouTuber in question spent a decade posting 1,600 videos about welding and agricultural machinery, some of which have more than a million views.
While the YouTuber said that he doesn't "necessarily" support all of the attacker's actions, they veered off at several points to add his own thoughts in the video. In the video, he said he printed out the manifesto on the day of the attack, and was reading it for the purpose so others may have an easier time finding an "audiobook" version of the document.
After the Christchurch attacks, YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter faced a wave of users trying to upload sections of or links to the full manifesto. Over a month afterwards, some videos of the attack were still available on social media sites. Google previously said in an email that non-Educational, Documentary, Scientific, or Artistic (EDSA) sharing of the manifesto is against the company's Community Guidelines. This means if the video is not EDSA in context, it should be marked as terrorist content and likely removed.
But YouTube originally flagged the reading video as "inappropriate or offensive to some audiences," seemingly after a number of user generated reports against the clip. On Monday, days after the upload, YouTube removed the clip for violating its Terms of Service.
In a second video uploaded shortly after the reading, the YouTuber made his views much more explicit, and defended his earlier upload.
"I've been a far-right, ethno-nationalist since about 2014 or so," he said, as well as a series of other hateful statements that violate YouTube's policies. While writing this piece, the second video was still online, with the disclaimer that "The following content has been identified by the YouTube community as inappropriate or offensive to some audiences." On Monday, YouTube removed the clip, and replaced it with the text "This video has been removed for violating YouTube's policy on hate speech," and a link to the site's policies.
"This example shows yet again how influencers play a crucial role in spreading white supremacist propaganda. This YouTuber already had hundreds of thousands of subscribers, so he was in a position of broadcasting power to spread ideas to his fans," Becca Lewis, a research affiliate at Data & Society who has researched YouTube's role in spreading such material, said in an online chat.
"Since he already had a sizeable fanbase, this creator could also point his audience to other platforms for viewing the content after YouTube removed it. When platforms are slow to respond in their content moderation practices, creators can take advantage of their cross-platform influence," she added.
The video of the reading and subsequent fallout has spread across YouTube and other sites, including Reddit. Other YouTube channels with a more explicit focus on white supremacy and hate are discussing and aggregating the video, with some including snippets from the original YouTuber's video itself. One far-right YouTuber suggested that the man "may have just jumped started the white awakening."
After a Motherboard investigation showed Facebook banned white supremacy while allowing white nationalism, the tech giant decided to ban support of the latter. Although this particular video of the Christchurch manifesto did violate YouTube's policies, the company previously refused to commit to banning white nationalism in general.
Google did not respond to multiple requests for comment.
Update: This piece has been updated to include comment from Becca Lewis.

Home Product Reviews Logitech C170 Vs. C270: The Pros and Cons of Two Staple Bargain...
Logitech C170 Vs. C270: The Pros and Cons of Two Staple Bargain Webcams
By Christopher T. -
Everybody has their favorites–those old reliable things in life that get the job done time and time again.
For me, it’s my little black webcam.
A Logitech C170 webcam, to be exact. It cost less than $30, powers just about all my video calls, and it’s been around so long I don’t actually have a memory of buying it. In fact, although you can still find it on Amazon and at Office Depot, Logitech has moved on with the C270 model as the bargain offering on its site.
But the C170 still has a place in my heart, and atop my computer screen.
You can get higher res images with fancier cameras, and you can get a lot more zoom and pan too. Heck, even the average smartphone camera packs more punch.
That said, it gives a better performance than the camera built into my Asus laptop, it works across every video conferencing platform I’ve tried, and it’s the default camera of choice on my PC desktop.
That’s why, in my opinion, when you’re talking about bargain webcams–the most basic, practical tech you can buy–you almost have to talk about the C170.
Plug and Play Video Calling
Getting rewards when shopping at the (very) affordable end of the video calling cam market is all about managing expectations.
You’re not going to get Ultra HD visuals and state-of-the-art voice tracking from a camera that cost less than $50.
You should, however, expect clarity, smooth video, and a richness of color that allows you to actually discern the different reds in your pencil case, or make your eye color clear to the people on the other end of your video call.
The C170 hits those marks easily. Even with a resolution of 640×480 (you can near double that when using it as a static camera offline) when video calling, you’ll be seen clearly, and there’s no discernible blur or pixelation when you move.
By comparison, the C270 gets you entry to the world of 720p HD video calling–and it’s fitted out to work on all the popular instant messaging applications, like Hangouts and Yahoo. It also has better resolution than the C170–1280×720, to be exact. And it’s true that it adjusts better to use in low light than the C170 does.
But when you have a small, bare-bones camera, what you want most is reliability and ease of use, right? These two webcams do pretty well there, too.
Both the C170 and C270 are robust little units that have no qualms working across VC platforms, and, on a Windows machine at least, they are up and running as soon as you plug them into your PC. Both also have a handy little clip function that lets them perch atop your screen, or fold up and idle on your desk.
But one of my favorite features is the fantastic audio on both these units. With built-in noise reduction you get a clarity of speech that you’ll totally take for granted, so natural does it sound. Unplug the webcam and listen to the unenhanced quality of a basic laptop sound system and mic, however, and you notice the difference.
It’s like hearing your own stereo and comparing it to the muffled version coming through from your neighbor’s sound system. That’s a feature that certainly stands up against Logitech’s peers in the realm of video conferencing webcam technology.
Software Enhanced Webcam
Logitech does offer a little additional grunt to its most affordable cameras through a software download. After swallowing up a 70 MB package you can boost your still photo quality to 5 megapixels, but that’s about the extent of the fun.
There are some limited zoom, pan, and tilt functions included in the download. If you’re using Skype, for instance, you can choose between two zoom settings through this new camera control.
(Zoom function)
That does come in handy with the C170, as the default zoom setting is more primitive than the C270, and pretty much settles right up in your face. It’s basically the difference between a head and shoulders presentation and a tight passport photo image.
Microsoft and Logitech have become solid pals in recent years through their collaboration on some Skype for Business tech. But they do still compete in the peripherals sphere.
Microsoft’s LifeCam VX-800 is a good foil for the C270, offering as it does many of the same attributes. It is easy to set up, and offers good if not spectacular visuals (it has more issues with low light situations, and colors don’t seem as accurate as the C170). In my experience, though, the audio isn’t quite so clear as in Logitech’s offerings. The LifeCam does have a greater range of motion due to its ball-and-socket design, though, which improve your viewing angle once you mount it on your screen.
(Left to right: Asus Laptop camera, C170, LifeCam)
For me, range of motion isn’t too big a deal (it’s usually just me and one other person on video calls, and I don’t tend to move around a lot); I’m more concerned with a decent picture and crisp audio. So my choice would the C170–but that’s probably due more to nostalgia than anything else. The C270 has even better visuals and isn’t much more expensive.
So if you want something basic and easy to use to improve the generic audio and visuals of your laptop, then I’d have to take a deep breath and recommend the Logitech C270.
But I’ll continue to treasure my C170.

Zucker Preparing NBC for Broadband Era
Wednesday, January 30, 2008, 1:18 AM ET
Jeff Zucker, NBCU's president and CEO gave a stirring, candid keynote at the NATPE show yesterday, in which he essentially said that all the rules that the broadcast TV industry has lived by for six decades have now changed. It was a pretty blunt assessment, given in terms not often heard from PR-cautious CEOs.
I thought Zucker nailed it on the head when he said that "technology is transforming every part of our business," suggesting that to succeed in the future the company must re-engineer itself from top to bottom. The technology drivers - DVRs, broadband distribution, VOD, mobile and inexpensive production equipment are all leading to fundamental changes in distribution, advertising sales, marketing and content development.
Zucker said that the "historic economic model supporting broadcast TV is wounded." This is well exemplified in the broadband space, where networks have eagerly pushed their hit programs online. Yet in referring to its broadband initiatives, Zucker acknowledged, "Our challenge with all these ventures is to effectively monetize them so that we do not end up trading analog dollars for digital pennies," noting "This is the Number 1 challenge for everyone in this industry today."
I believe many of the steps Zucker's taking will help surmount this challenge. They include: Improving the allocation of resources and efficiency of the pilot process to help NBC maximize the opportunity that the mass-scale broadcast business still provides. Expanding the marketing of its programs beyond traditional influencers to help tap into the water coolers of the digital age. Broadening the role of its stations encompassing all local media opportunities instead of just selling TV ad space to enhance their competitiveness. Setting up digital studios to produce content geared for the broadband and mobile to tap new audiences.
Listening to Zucker, I felt myself being optimistic about his leadership and the likelihood that his game plan will ultimately lead to a successful transformation of the business. It won't come without plenty of bumps in the road, but it did strike me as clear-headed thinking which was sensitive to the network's traditions, but not obsequious to them. Throughout his keynote, he repeatedly reminded the audience that great storytelling and content is what all matters. The story of how NBC and the other networks will learn to succeed in the broadband era is definitely one worth following.

7 Best Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Rugged Cases
It’s big, it has a lot of power and definitely one of the most impressive cameras ever mounted on a smartphone. Yes, we’re talking about the Samsung Galaxy Note 8, the latest addition to the South Korean manufacturer, which is also one of the most slippery phones yours truly ever held. And it’s also expensive.
Ok, so it’s slippery and expensive. It’s obvious that nobody wants to drop it or see any scratches on it, so you’ve probably guessed why we’re here. Yes, ladies and gents, today we’re talking about the best Samsung Galaxy Note 8 rugged cases. Exactly, those who can deal even with hardcore shocks!
Fortunately, it’s very popular now, so there are a lot of great models for it. But this also made it a bit difficult for us to decide upon the best. But still, we managed to do it!
Also see: Best Galaxy Note 8 wallet cases, leather cases and screen protectors.
Without much further ado, these are the best Samsung Galaxy Note 8 rugged cases of the moment:
1. Spigen Tough Armor Case
These guys are famous for this series of cases, so we had to start with one. The Spigen Tough Armor Case offers extreme dual-layer protection, thanks to the TPU body and polycarbonate back.
It has precise cutouts on the sides, for quick access to all buttons and ports, as well as raised lips, which protect the screen and camera from getting scratched. Because who on Earth likes scratches on a phone?
The case is military-grade certified, featuring the Air-Cushion Technology in all corners, and also includes a reinforced kickstand on the back, for a hands-free viewing experience, no matter where you use it. You can get it in five different colors, including Black, Gunmetal, Deep Sea Blue, Maple Gold, or Orchid Gray.
2. Zizo Bolt Series Case
If you’re looking for a hardcore model, then you should definitely consider the Zizo Bolt Series Case, which is definitely one of the most interesting Samsung Galaxy Note 8 rugged cases, offering an increased amount of protection.
It meets the 12 feet Military Grade 810.1-G Compliancy, so there’s no doubt that it can keep your phone safe, in case of a serious impact.
The case also includes a built-in kickstand, so you can enjoy the phone hands free, but it also comes with an included Lightning Shield screen protector, measuring just 0.3mm in thickness and having a 9H hardness, not to mention that it’s 100% clear and curved on the sides. The case can be bough in 10 different color combinations, being perfect for expressing your own style.
3. i-Blason Fully Body Rugged Bumper Case
Theses guys do an excellent job when it comes to heavy duty cases and the i-Blason Fully Body Rugged Bumper Case is the perfect example. We’re looking at a full-body model, with 360 degree protection and an integrated, touch-compatible screen protector.
Should we call it indestructible? Yeah, pretty much! Unless you drop the phone from the 10th floor or something like that.
The back of the case is clear and it has drop-protections at each corner, not to mention that despite the amount of protection it can provide, it somehow manages to maintain a slim profile for the phone. And it has a built-in screen protector as well, so it’s obvious why this case is present in our top. You can opt for one in Black, Pink, Black/Blue, Black/Gold, or Emerald.
4. Supcase Unicorn Beetle Shield Series Case
Speaking about Samsung Galaxy Note 8 rugged cases with an included screen protectors, we also have the Supcase Unicorn Beetle Shield Series Case. It’s a dual layer model, made with a polycarbonate hard shell and flexible TPU, while the built-in screen protector does a great job with preventing scratches without compromising screen sensitivity.
On the back, the hard case clips into a swiveling belt clip holster for carrying convenience, while another aspect really worth mentioning is the slim and sporty design.
Seriously, it’s ridiculously slim for a case able to deal even with serious shocks! You can get one in four different color combinations, like fully Black, Blue and Gray, Pink and Gray, or White and Gray.
5. Urban Armor Gear Plasma Rugged Case
These guys surely know how to make a tough case! Specifically, we’re talking about the Urban Armor Gear Plasma Rugged Case, with a patented hard outer shell and a soft impact-resistant core. And despite its look, it’s actually a feather-light case, which won’t feel heavy in your pocket at all!
It has a soft raised rubber screen-lip and skid pads on the rear, providing complete protection for your Samsung Galaxy Note 8. Also, the buttons on the side deliver a clean click-fee, for increased functionality. And yes, you got that right, it’s a MIL-STD 810G 516.6 certified model, so you don’t need to worry that much if you drop it, as well as Samsung Pay and wireless charging compatible. You can pick from 10 different color combinations, by the way.
6. Ringke Onyx Extreme Tough Case
Moving on with the best Samsung Galaxy Note 8 rugged cases, we have the Ringke Onyx Extreme Tough Case. This is another Military Grade certified model, being made with flexible TPU and featuring a heat dispersion pattern on the interior, as well as raised lips around the camera cutout and display, so no scratch will get on it.
This slim case – despite the amount of protection it offers – provides Advanced Shock Absorption, so if you somehow manage to drop it, the phone has increased chances to remain unshatterd.
On the sides, we can spot precise cutouts, offering access to all buttons and ports, not to mention that the grip will be seriously increased, so there’s no chance of the phone to slip with this case on. You can get it just in Black, with a nice brushed steel finish and carbon fiber inserts.
7. Samsung Rugged Military Grade Protective Cover
Finally, the last entry in our top of the best Samsung Galaxy Note 8 rugged cases is coming directly from the South Korean manufacturer. We’re talking about the Samsung Rugged Military Grade Protective Cover, a model designed and tested so it can withstand serious drops and shocks. It can be a perfect choice for anybody with slippery hands and not only.
The case fits the Note 8 perfectly, while the buttons are covered by responsive covers, so you can use them in any environment with ease. IT’s available just in Black and Deep Blue, but both of them look incredibly good on the phone. If you prefer OEM accessories, this is the one you should totally get!
And with this, we’re all done. These are just a few of the best Samsung Galaxy Note 8 rugged cases you can buy right now. Honestly, we had a hard time deciding upon our favorite, but after analyzing the pros and cons of each model, we did manage to reach a conclusion.
Our Pick: Supcase Unicorn Beetle Shield Series Case
When it comes to rugged cases, we’re totally for those models able to provide 360-degree protection. And this is exactly what this model from Supcase does, thanks to the integrated screen protector. Also, we’re fans of the color combinations it’s available in, especially Blue and Gray, which helps the phone stand out a bit. Like it was necessary…
But what about you? Which one of these Samsung Galaxy Note 8 rugged cases would you pick and why? Let us know, by dropping a few lines in the comments section below!

Woodford Reserve announces the launch of its Kentucky Straight Rye
AnCnoc launched 1975 vintage
Award winning Aberdeenshire distillery GlenDronach, has today announced the release of its 11th batch of single cask bottlings.
Ranging from 18 to 43 years in age, the nine new releases offer a huge and intriguing variety, six of which were matured in Pedro Ximenez sherry puncheons, two in Oloroso sherry butts and one in an Oloroso sherry puncheon.
The oldest, 1971 Cask Number 2920 (48.6% ABV) is a 43 Years Old malt matured in a Pedro Ximenez sherry puncheon. Intense treacle toffee floods over sour plums and roasted coffee. Harmonising waves of leather and tobacco give great depth and are balanced perfectly by a subtle toasted walnut and date back note.
As a contrast the 18 Year Old from Cask Number 244 (56.9% ABV) is the youngest, distilled in February 1996. Matured in an Oloroso sherry butt, there is a tremendous balance of mixed candied peel and stewed dark fruits sprinkled with dark Demerara. Delicious waves of toffee, cracked barley and warm oak spices combine to give a long and elegant finish.
All nine single casks have been hand-selected by BenRiach’s Managing Director and Master Distiller Billy Walker who described them as “sensational” and added: “I believe Batch 11 makes a very simple point – the wood has a huge influence on the spirit. You immediately sense – and taste – the influence of the casks on these nine sublime single malts. The subtle interaction of the ex-sherry wood with the Highland spirit over long dark years in the warehouse creates a luxurious and amazingly complex raft of flavours. In these nine expressions you feel the pulse of our inventory at GlenDronach and the idiosyncratic personality of the casks coming through. That, plus the passion and craftsmanship of our people, is what produces these incredible whiskies time and time again.”

'Black people aren't believed': Videos exposing everyday racism hailed as new activism

'Black people aren't believed': Videos exposing everyday racism hailed as new activism Everyday racism is being filmed and going viral, and white people are facing consequences. Here are the biggest examples so far. Check out this story on USATODAY.com: https://usat.ly/2uPk3H5
USA Today NetworkLilly Price, USA TODAY Published 4:44 p.m. ET July 17, 2018 | Updated 5:07 p.m. ET July 17, 2018
"Permit Patty" has reportedly resigned from her job at the cannabis company she founded amid outcry for calling police on a girl selling water. Nathan Rousseau Smith has the story. Buzz60
A Facebook post from user Rhe Capers shows a video of a woman's poolside confrontation.(Photo: Facebook/Rhe Capers)
If you're threatening to call the police on a black person for selling water, using coupons or mowing the lawn, brace yourself: You might soon go viral. Witnesses to such incidents, smartphones in hand, have captured the nation's attention in recent months while holding harassers accountable.
White people filmed often, but not always, gain tongue-in-cheek monikers online — BBQ Becky, Permit Patty and Pool Patrol Paula, to name a few — as videos rack up half a million to over a million views.
It's a form of activism that puts racial targeting on a public stage, aiming for visibility and change. So says Professor Dhiraj Murthy, a researcher on social media activism at the University of Texas at Austin.
"There's a cost for acting in a behavior like this: being named and shamed," Murthy said.
Murthy folds this social media activity into a bigger trend called "sousveillance," the filming of incidents in real time. This allows those without a voice to become involved in the public conversation, he said.
Rashad Robinson, president of racial justice organization Color of Change, said the on-video incidents are nothing new. But the audience is.
"Black people aren’t believed," he said. "If they were believed about these experiences we’ve been having for hundreds of years, we’d have had culture change by now."
But filming and posting these videos of everyday racism is not enough, Robinson says: Lasting societal change requires all races to speak out, organize and demand justice.
"What we can’t mistake is the presence and visibility of these videos with changing this culture," Robinson said. "The presence alone is not the power to change this."
The videos show white individuals calling the police if they feel uncomfortable or threatened around black people, he said, rather than having a conversation with them.
"People seem to believe something is illegal about black people occupying space," Robinson said. "Who belongs and who doesn't is a real tension."
A few examples of the trend:
Permit Patty
The video posted in June shows a woman on the phone with police, reporting an 8-year-old black girl for selling water on the sidewalk without a permit. The girl, Jordan Rodgers, hoped to pay for a trip to Disneyland, she said. In the reckoning that followed, the woman resigned from her position as CEO of a cannabis company. Jordan had her Disneyland trip paid for — by a viewer of the video.
So my little cousin was selling water and didn't have a permit so this lady decided to call the cops on an 8 year old. #PermitPattypic.twitter.com/SiL61pnAgl

BBQ Becky
A California woman called the police in April on people who were "using a charcoal grill in a banned area." The 25-minute video, viewed by over 2 million times, gained her the nickname "BBQ Becky." A cookout event called "BBQing While Black" was later held in the same park as a response.
Video of woman calling police on barbecue was posted to Youtube and then went viral. (Photo: Michelle Dione Snider/YouTube)
Pool Patrol Paula
A woman dubbed "Pool Patrol Paula" called police In June on a black teen for swimming at her pool, where she said he "didn't belong." The hostile exchange was caught on video. The woman, Stephanie Sebby-Strempel, was charged with assault for hitting the teen and physically fighting police officers, and she later lost her position with skincare company Roden + Fields.

Tinubu begs Igbo community in Lagos to vote APC
On February 20, 2019 7:48 pmIn Newsby Nwafor
National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, on Wednesday appealed to Igbos in Lagos State to vote the candidates of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in the February and March elections.
Asiwaju Bola Tinubu
Tinubu made the appeal in Ikeja while addressing party members at a stakeholders meeting.
Reports have it that the meeting was called to perfect the party’s preparedness for the rescheduled elections on Feb. 23 and March 9 in the state.
Court sacks Eze, Enugu East APC senatorial candidate
The party leader said the APC government never discriminated against people from the South East and others in the state in the delivery of democratic dividends.
Tinubu said the state government had provided equal opportunities to all residents irrespective of whether they were from the state or elsewhere.
The party leader said that the APC government had provided the environment for the people of the South East to conduct their businesses and succeed in the state.
He said the party expected them to support its candidates at the polls for progress.
“We appeal to our Igbo brothers from the east, this is the state where you conduct your businesses, your children are in our schools, we don’t discriminate against them in our WAEC fees.
“We don’t discriminate against them for NECO fees. We don’t discriminate against them for JAMB fees. Even in our universities, they take the benefit of our tuition and allowances and all that.
“Now this time, we say, help us, we say vote for us and our candidates,” he said.
Tinubu said he had to intervene when the popular ASPAMDA market and other markets dominated by the Igbos were faced with threats of demolition.
The party leader said he took the step to save the markets to protect the interests of the traders who are mainly from the South East.
Tinubu said the party would be monitoring election results from Igbo-dominated areas like Amuwo-Odofin, Ojo, Ajeromi-Ifelodun, and Surulere in anticipation of votes for APC by the people of the South East in the state.
Recall that in the 2015 elections, the APC lost some legislative seats to the PDP in the areas mentioned, though some of the winners later defected to the APC.
On the Presidential and National Assembly elections on Saturday, the party leader said he was confident that the APC would emerge victorious.
Election Observers, write your report and go home -Tinubu
He said it was not possible for the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to defeat APC as they do not have the strength of the ruling party in all parts of the country.
Tinubu urged party members to work hard to make the victory a resounding one for the party on Saturday.
“We will beat PDP on Saturday. They don’t have our strength in the North West, in the South West and even in the Middle Belt. So how do they want to win? We will beat them.
“But I urge you our dear party members, you need to make the victory a resounding one. You must work hard and mobilise everyone to vote for our candidates,” he said.
He urged members, particularly women, to embark on door-to-door campaigns in their neighbourhoods to canvass votes for the party.
Tinubu warned members against violence but urged them to protect their votes to ensure victory.
On the rescheduled polls, he said the party had put the disappointment behind it and was working hard to record victory on Saturday.
He said the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) had the backing of law to reschedule elections if the need arises.
Tinubu said the party hoped that the rescheduled elections would be conducted successfully.
“INEC has the rule and the law on their side. They have postponed the elections; we believe anybody can run into crisis.
“When a plane gets into turbulence, sometimes the passengers shake, the plane shakes and the pilots shake.
“They eventually steady the plane. The prayer is that they should land safely and happily. We pray that INEC will land safely with the elections and APC will win,” he said.
PDP alleges APC, Police, Army’s conspiracy to prevent polls in Rivers
Tinubu urged Nigerians to turn out en masse to vote President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday for the continued progress of the country.
Reports have it that prominent personalities at the meeting include Gov. Akinwunmi Ambode, his deputy, Dr Idiat Adebule, APC governorship candidate, Mr Babajide Sanwoolu and his running mate, Dr Obafemi Hamzat, and the APC chairman in the state, Alhaji Tunde Balogun.
The South West Woman Leader, Mrs Kemi Nelson and the state Woman Leader, Mrs Jumoke Okoya-Thomas were also among hundreds of party faithful at the meeting.

December 21st, 2010:
Undeniable Recap of 2010
2010 was an eventful year for me. As I was driving from Phoenix to my parents’ place in Sonoma, CA, I started reflecting on the highlights of the year.
My Sister’s Wedding. This was hands-down the best day of the year. I consider myself to be my sister’s little sister and her big brother so watching her get married to such a wonderful man was a very big deal. I watched Morena marry the love of her life, Rick, in a wedding that the two of them designed with hand-selected music and readings. My sister, who is also a law student (super smart, editor of her law review), was stunning. It was wonderful to meet her in-laws (who are awesome!) and reconnect with friends. It was everything a wedding is supposed to be.
Sponsor A Law Kid. I am often a person who has creative ideas but who is too afraid to put them into action. I have to thank Kade Dworkin and Meet My Followers to inspiring this idea and the social media community for encouraging me in this endeavor. When I posted the first #SALK blog, I thought, “I’m either a genius or crazy.” I also thought about the advice I received from Sam Glover who said to think about the worst thing that could happen. For #SALK, the worst thing that could happen was nothing. To date, #SALK has sold 28 days and funded over $1000 of next semester’s education.

Jester’Z Improv Acting Class. I am a person who thrives in structure. Most of my flashmobs and pranks are fairly planned out in advance. This class put my classmates and I had no idea what was going to happen on stage or what scenario we would be asked to play out. Taking this acting class pushed me think faster on my feet and to enjoy the simplicity of play. It also gave me a reprieve from reality for three hours every week. My friend, Jeff Moriarty, shot a snippet of my final showcase. Per the audience’s suggestion, my classmate Linzi and I were supposed to be “pumped lawyers.” Most of the audience did not know that I was in law school. I love how happy I look in this video.
Rock n Roll Half Marathon. I ran my first half marathon in 2010. It was 2 hours and 9 minutes of masochistic fun. It was hard, but I’m glad I did it, and I’m doing it again next year.
Finding My Legal Niche. I solidified my decision to specialize in intellectual property and internet law this last year. I’ve enjoyed so many of my classes in this area: Intellectual Property, Cyberspace Law, High Tech Licensing, Copyright, Trademark Law, and Privacy. I’m looking forward to working with entrepreneurs through ASU’s Innovation Advancement Program next semester.
I had many firsts in 2010:
First internship at a big law firm
First internship with an in-house legal department
First half marathon
First trip to Ohio
First California roll (eww)
First guest appearance on a podcast
First painted toenails
First paintball game
First talk on a legal topic at a conference
First trip to the Firefly Room in the Phoenix Art Museum
I am excited for what’s to come in 2011.

Wrestler Dies Mid-Fight Aged Just 29 Years Old
By : Joseph Loftus On : 10 May 2017 16:43
Independent wrestler, Wayne VanDyke, has tragically died after suffering a heart attack in the ring aged just 29.
VanDyke, who fought under the name Richard Delicious, was partaking in an event in Florida on April 29 when he began to feel extremely unwell before having a heart attack, reports Wrestling News.
He was quickly rushed to hospital but suffered another heart attack en route and one more when he arrived at the hospital – forcing medical staff to put VanDyke into a medical induced coma to prevent any more.
VanDyke also allegedly suffered broken ribs and a punctured lung while he was receiving CPR.

In a heartbreaking Facebook post made yesterday, VanDyke’s family confirmed that the 29-year-old had passed away.
Richard Delicious was a former ACW light heavyweight champion and two-time cruiserweight champion who seemed to have a lot ahead of him.
In the aftermath of VanDyke’s untimely death officials from the World Wrestling Network announced they would be donating profits from the FIP and Style Battle events later this month to aid with his medical expenses.
Our thoughts go out to VanDyke’s family and friends at this hard time.

North Korean Leader Boasts of Unity After Bloody Purge
By Daniel Schearf
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un delivers a speech during his New Year address, released by Kyodo Jan. 1, 2014.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un said his country is united following a political purge that included the execution of his uncle. In a New Year's day speech, Kim also called for better relations with South Korea while warning Seoul and Washington that conflict on the peninsula could lead to a nuclear catastrophe.
North Korean leader Kim Jong Un spoke publicly for the first time Wednesday about a bloody purge in December of challengers to his political power.
In the high-level upheaval, Kim executed his uncle and one-time mentor, Jang Song Thaek, believed to be Pyongyang's number two in power.
South Korea's spy agency said at least two of Jang's followers were also killed as the young leader sought to consolidate his rule.
The unprecedented publicity of the violent removal of someone so close to the Kim family raised concerns about stability in the nuclear-armed North.
But in an annual New Year's Day speech aired by state broadcasters, Kim Jong Un said he removed what he called “factionalist filth” lurking in the party in order to restore unity.
He said the Korean Workers' Party detected and purged the anti-Party, counterrevolutionary factionalists at an opportune time and with a correct decision. He said the party and revolutionary ranks were further consolidated and their single-hearted unity was solidified by 100 times.
Jang Song Thaek was married to Kim Jong Un's aunt, Kim Kyong-hui, the younger sister of his father Kim Jong Il.
The aunt and uncle helped Kim Jong Un in the leadership transition after his father's sudden death two years ago. But uncle Jang was seen as a threat to the young Kim's power base as he sought to replace officials from his father's generation with younger loyalists.
Kim Jong Un is the world's youngest authoritarian ruler at about 30 years old.
While some of Jang's supporters were called back from overseas consulates, his wife, according to South Korean officials, was untouched by the purge.
In the speech, Kim Jong Un called for improved ties between Pyongyang and Seoul and an end to slander that harms both sides and efforts to one day reunify the peninsula.
He said they will join hands with anyone who opts to give priority to the nation and wishes for its reunification, regardless of his or her past, and continue to strive for better inter-Korean relations.
Korea was divided after World War II into a Soviet-influenced North and a United States-influenced South. Kim Jong Un's grandfather, Kim Il Sung, attempted to forcibly unify the peninsula under communism in a 1950 invasion that sparked the Korean War. The three years of fighting ended with an armistice leaving both sides, technically, in a continuous state of war.
Kim Jong Un said it was heartrending to see the peninsula divided by foreign forces, a reference to the 28,000 U.S. troops that are protecting South Korea from re-invasion.
He repeated rhetoric that U.S. and South Korean military exercises are preparation for a nuclear attack on the North and warned that accidents during the drills may lead to all-out war.
He said should another war break out on this land it will result in a deadly nuclear catastrophe and the United States will never be safe. He says all Korean people must not tolerate the maneuvers for war and confrontation by the bellicose forces at home and abroad, but stoutly resist and frustrate them.
South Korean officials said the political purge in North Korea revealed weakness in Kim Jong Un's leadership and warn he may attempt a military provocation in the coming months as a show of strength.

Wolfsburg/Frankfurt
World premiere of the new Tiguan in Frankfurt
Tiguan 2.0 TSI BMT 4MOTION 132 kW - Fuel consumption in l/100 km: urban 9.1 - 9.0 / extra urban 6.4 - 6.3 / combined 7.4 - 7.3; CO2 emissions combined in g/km: 170 - 168; efficiency class: D
Presentation of the new SUV at the Volkswagen Group Night and the International Motor Show (IAA)
New design and new technology for the Tiguan
The International Motor Show (IAA) in Frankfurt will be the stage for the presentation of the new Tiguan. After selling over 2.64 million units of the first generation, Volkswagen is revealing the latest generation of the SUV at today's Group Night and at the IAA that begins tomorrow.
Volkswagen is showing four versions* of the new Tiguan at the IAA (open to the public: 17 to 27 September). The production versions being presented are the exceptionally sporty Tiguan R-Line, the classic on-road model and an off-road version tuned specifically for off-road use. Meanwhile, the Tiguan GTE – a concept vehicle with a plug-in hybrid drive (160 kW / 218 PS of system power) – offers an outlook on the future development of the best-selling SUV.
The second generation of the best-seller is the first Volkswagen Group SUV to be based on the path-breaking MQB (modular transverse matrix) platform. It improves all of the properties of the Tiguan. The body proportions of the latest Volkswagen SUV are perceptibly sporty, and the design shows charisma from all perspectives. Its weight was also reduced by over 50 kg compared to the previous model. Meanwhile, the amount of space offered in the interior and luggage compartment has taken a gigantic leap forward. The boot volume of the new Tiguan can take on up to 615 litres of cargo (loaded to the back of the rear bench); when the rear seat backrests are folded, its capacity increases to 1,655 litres. This represents a gain of 145 litres.
The engines are also characterised by gains in efficiency. A broad range of eight engines is available; they have power outputs ranging between 85 kW / 115 PS and 176 kW / 240 PS. The drives were made more powerful, yet they are up to 24 per cent more fuel-efficient than those of the previous model. The new 4MOTION Active Control also lets drivers adjust the all-wheel drive system more individually and easier to all possible driving conditions. Thanks to its impressive drive concept, the Tiguan has been engineered for trailer loads of up to 2,500 kg. The assistance systems perfect the vehicle's convenience, dynamism and safety (including Front Assist with City Emergency Braking and Pedestrian Monitoring, Lane Assist and the Automatic Post-Collision Braking System, all as standard). Online services open up new service dimensions (such as automatic accident notification, online traffic and parking space info, vehicle status report), the on-board electronics integrate all of today's smartphones of the Apple and Android worlds into the functionality of the infotainment systems via App Connect, and even tablets become an integral part of the automobile via the Media Control app. This has resulted in a Tiguan with which Volkswagen is redefining broad aspects of the A-SUV segment.
*There are not current values to the fuel consumption yet.

FEUDING cuemen Ronnie O'Sullivan and Mark Williams remain on course for a semi-final head-to-head in the City-west Irish Masters after cruising through their second round games in Dublin.
FEUDING cuemen Ronnie O'Sullivan and Mark Williams remain on course for a semi-final head-to-head in the City-west Irish Masters after cruising through their second round games in Dublin.
World No 1 O'Sullivan was first into the quarter-finals with a 5-1 victory over Ali Carter, followed a few minutes later by Williams, who knocked out Scotsman Jamie Burnett by the same score.
But while their match on Saturday would be eagerly anticipated after this week's verbal exchanges, Matthew Stevens and Paul Hunter could stop the potential showdown.
O'Sullivan meets Welsh-man Stevens in a repeat of last season's quarter-final, while Williams will once again hope to be Hunter's nemesis.
The latter duo have met on 11 occasions, including three times in as many months.
Williams has won 10 matches and says, "I have an unbelievable record against him and hopefully I can keep it going.
"I should have won the other game as well because I was 5-0 up," he said, recalling his 10-9 defeat in the 2002 Benson and Hedges Masters final.
"You would expect the top players to have a close record against each other but, for some reason, I always seem to do well against him.
"If it wasn't for me Paul might have won a few more titles this season."
Williams, winner of the UK and Masters titles this season, knows he must raise his game against the Yorkshireman.

Sloop Clearwater Celebrates 50 Years
By Joe Donahue • May 16, 2019
clearwater.org
The sloop Clearwater turns 50 on Friday. It was launched on May 17, 1969. Pete Seeger, who founded Clearwater and conceived and help build the sloop, was born May 3, 1919, and centennial celebrations for him are ongoing. Clearwater is calling this its "50/100" anniversary. The anniversary is the subject of a long resolution adopted last week by the NYS Senate and Assembly about Pete's legacy and Clearwater's work.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary, Saturday, May 18th, Clearwater is holding two public sails on the sloop (11am and 5pm) plus a free dockside event from 2:30 - 4:30 pm at the Ferry Dock in Beacon NY. There will be live music, tours of the sloop, Hudson River fish and invertebrates, banjo crafting and more.
Coming up in June, 50/100 edition of Clearwater's Great Hudson River Revival takes place June 15 and 16 at Croton Point Park.
Here to celebrate the sloop with us we welcome Betsy Garthwaite, former longtime captain of the Clearwater (also a former chair of Clearwater's board), Manna Jo Greene, Clearwater's environmental director, and Stephen Smith, chair of Clearwater's board.

By Emma Bowman • May 11, 2018
Kittie Weston-Knauer, on the cusp of 70 years old, is the oldest female BMX bicycle racer in the U.S.

As American Awareness Fades, Holocaust Museum Refreshes The Story
By Emma Bowman • Apr 23, 2018
A new exhibit that opens Monday at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum aims to honor a founding mission.
Five years in the making, "Americans and the Holocaust" contextualizes attitudes in the U.S. during 1930s and '40s persecution and mass murder of Jews in Europe.
Twenty-five years ago, when the building opened, noted Holocaust survivor Elie Wiesel introduced the museum not as an answer to the horrors of genocide but to pose a glaring question: How could this happen?

Roxanne and Dennis Simmonds knew their son as fearless and strong from the day he was born.
"D.J. came out with shoulders of a linebacker," Roxanne says. "He was the first baby I saw that had muscles."
"He wasn't really afraid of anything," Dennis says.
At night, young D.J. would take the dog with him and circle the entire house, to "make sure there's nobody on the grounds," Dennis says, laughing. "I used to say, 'D.J. where you going? It's late.' He would say 'I'm doing a perimeter search, Dad.' "

This Year's Christmas Tree Shortage Has Roots In The Recession
If you usually ring in the holiday with a freshly cut evergreen, your reality this Christmas could very well be a scrawny Charlie Brown tree instead — or you may wind up paying more for a lush Fraser fir.

Scattered Violence Erupts At Large, Left-Wing Berkeley Rally
By Emma Bowman • Aug 28, 2017
A mostly peaceful demonstration turned violent in Berkeley, Calif., when left-wing counterprotesters clashed with right-wing protesters and Trump supporters on Sunday.
Thousands of people held a Rally Against Hate in response to a planned right-wing protest that never got off the ground.
During the hours-long event, counterprotesters marched and chanted "No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA," among other slogans. But several Trump supporters and right-wing demonstrators were also chased away by groups, who chanted "Nazis go home."
The Women Behind The 'Alt-Right'
Last weekend, when white nationalists descended on Charlottesville to protest, it was clear that almost exclusively white, young males comprised the so-called alt-right movement — there were women, but very few.
So where were the white women who weren't out protesting in the streets?
For the most part, journalist Seyward Darby discovered, they're online.

Calgary native Michael Bladon, who played for the KIJHL’s Nelson Leafs last season, has joined the Humboldt Broncos for their first season after a bus crash killed 16 players, staff and media in April. Photo submitted
In Humboldt, a former B.C. hockey player helps a community heal
Defenceman Michael Bladon has joined the Broncos after playing in Nelson last season
Tyler Harper
Sep. 13, 2018 3:00 p.m.
It happens on streets, in stores and restaurants. Someone approaches the teen wearing a Humboldt Broncos hoody and asks if he plays for the team.
Michael Bladon is new to Humboldt, Sask., but he’s quickly finding just how many people already know who he is or want to get to know him.
“You get a lot of attention. You get a lot of praise for doing what you’re doing and having to go what you’re going through,” said Bladon.
“The whole town has made themselves available to us if you need to talk, if you need to vent to anyone. There’s so many outlets you can go to and just knowing that the way the city is feeling is through this hockey team, so I think it’s remarkable what we’ve been able to accomplish and what the city has allowed us to do.”
What the city has allowed Bladon and the Broncos to do is help a community grieve and heal.
Bladon suited up for the Broncos’ first home-opener Wednesday after the April 6 crash that killed 16 and injured 13 others on the team’s bus. Their game against the Nipawin Hawks was nationally televised and featured a post-game ceremony at Elgar Petersen Arena that honoured the victims.
Bladon said the team did its best to focus on the game, but once the final buzzer sounded all the emotions were freed.
“That feeling on that ice and seeing those 3,000 people there, what they stood for and what they represented, just playing in front of them and their everlasting support. They were into the game, all game. This city lives and breathes hockey.”
The 18-year-old Calgary native had an offer last season to play for Humboldt but wanted to try playing hockey in B.C., where he did last season on the blue-line with the KIJHL’s Nelson Leafs.
The Broncos kept in touch with Bladon throughout the season. After the crash he attended the team’s spring camp, and even though he’d had offers from other teams Bladon already knew where he was going.
“One day I just decided if I let this opportunity pass I would regret it for the rest of my life.”
Last month he travelled to the Saskatchewan city of nearly 6,000 people for training camp, and about two weeks ago moved in with a billet family who had previously housed and lost a player who died in the bus crash.
But just by putting on the jersey and stepping onto the ice, Bladon is giving back to a city he felt compelled to help.
“I honestly think I was put on this team for a reason. Our coach [Nathan Oystrick] said it best. He said all the guys are on this team because they can handle it. It’s been a lot since we came here and last night was just the climax of that.
“Everything just kind of came rushing in at once and it hits you and you realize what is actually going on.”
Which, as he already knows, is about a lot more than hockey.

Unitron Tempus 800 | Stride, All, Insera, Moxi, Dura, Fit, Kiss, Now, Fit-R Hearing Aids
Price for one - £1595 | Price for a pair - £3095
The Tempus platform from Unitron was launched in March 2017
Important note regarding hearing aid names
Some companies supply a slightly more basic version of this hearing aid and market it as the "Vista T 810". The hearing aid is still made by Unitron and is almost identical to the Tempus 800.
You will also see other names associated with Unitron prodcts, such as "Moxi, Now, Fit, All, Dura, Kiss, Stride, Insera. These are all essentially different "shapes" of this hearing aid. For example, the Unitron Tempus Pro Moxi sits over the ear, whereas the Unitron Tempus Pro Insera fits entirely into the ear and is hidden down the ear canal. Feel free to ask us for a more detailed explanation.
Unitron Tempus 800
The Unitron Tempus 800 is the second most technologically advanced model in Unitron’s Tempus range of hearing aids. The flagship model in this range is the Tempus Pro, but there are also less feature rich models including the Tempus 700, Tempus 600 and Tempus 500.
The Unitron Tempus 800 is closely modelled on the Tempus Pro, so if you are interested in this hearing aid then we recommend that you read our page all about the Unitron Tempus Pro first. However there are a few key differences between the Tempus Pro and the Tempus 800 that are worth bearing in mind.
As with all hearing aid ranges the more technological features that are included, the higher the price. So even though the Tempus 800 is slightly less feature packed than the Tempus Pro, it does also cost less.
Who Is The Unitron Tempus 800 Suitable For?
The main areas where the Tempus 800 falls down in comparison to the Tempus Pro is its performance in situations with high levels of background noise. Although it can detect and emphasise speech in noisy environments, it is less able to pinpoint sounds as effectively as the Tempus Pro. Therefore the Tempus 800 is probably more suitable for you if you tend to spend less time in noisy situations.
However the Tempus 800 does pretty much equal the Tempus Pro in quiet environments and still includes the Binaural MyMusic feature which is able to automatically detect music and switch both of your the hearing aids to a dedicated channel specifically designed for listening to music. You are also still able to access the rechargeable version which we think is one of the big selling points of the Unitron Tempus range.
Technological Differences Between The Unitron Tempus Pro And The Unitron Tempus 800
There are a few vital differences between the Tempus Pro and Tempus 800 models that could influence your decision regarding which model to choose. These include:
Speech Zone 2 - whereas the Tempus Pro features Unitron’s brand new Speech Pro technology, the Tempus 800 only uses Speech Zone 2, which is the older technology featured in Unitron’s previous North platform. Speech Zone 2 is designed to allows users to hear speech coming from any direction when they are in noisy environments. Although still a reasonable bit of kit, this has now been superseded by the new Speech Pro technology, as featured in the Tempus Pro, and so you won’t get quite as good a result in some of the more challenging listening environments.
Speech Focus - this feature is also not included in the Tempus 800, it is only available in the Tempus Pro. Speech Focus is an useful feature which further helps to boost the directionality detection of sound resulting in an even more natural hearing experience.
Dynamic Spatial Awareness - The Tempus 800 also does not include this feature which, present in the Tempus Pro, significantly aids hearing in challenging environments by restoring the cues for localisation. It does however feature Personalised Spatial Awareness (also present in the Tempus Pro) which performs a similar function but only for quiet environments, but can be personalised to individual users.
Contact one of our friendly audiologists today to find out more about the Unitron Tempus 800, or any of the models in the Tempus range. We can discuss all of your hearing requirements and talk you through your options completely free of charge and with no obligation.

Stormzy cancels Snowbombing appearance citing ‘racial profiling’
Brit Awards 2018 – Press Room – London
Stormzy has pulled out of his headline performance at Snowbombing Festival just hours before he was due to go on stage after accusing the festival of “racial profiling”.
The Brit Award-winning rapper, 25, claimed his manager was “targeted” by security “despite no one fitting the description” after receiving reports of a festival-goer carrying a weapon.
Stormzy, real name Michael Omari Owuo Jr, said he took “drastic steps” to make a point about “racism and racial profiling” after the incident at the event in Mayrhofen, Austria, on Thursday.

A spokesperson for the festival said they were “deeply saddened” by Stormzy’s decision but that their staff had acted “in accordance with protocol”.
They added that Stormzy was not on site when the incident occurred.
In a series of posts to his Instagram story the south London rapper said: “My sincerest apologies to anyone who travelled all that way to watch me perform.
“I’m genuinely upset that you’ve wasted your time and money and that burns me more than you’d know.
“The last ever thing I wanna do is let down anyone who’s taken time out to support me.
“So please hear me out, I too would be fuming if I travelled and spent money to go and watch an artist and they pull out last minute.
“However if these are the drastic steps that I need to take to make a point against racism and racial profiling then trust me I’m taking it.”
Snowbombing regrets to inform you that Stormzy will no longer be performing at the festival this evening. For more information please click the link https://t.co/gjLA6VBJNj
— Snowbombing (@Snowbombing) April 11, 2019
A statement from the festival said: “Snowbombing’s security were alerted to the possibility that an individual at the festival was allegedly carrying a weapon.
“In accordance with protocol, a small number of attendees, including Stormzy’s manager were escorted to the nearest exit, searched and no weapon was found.
“Stormzy’s management were unhappy with the manner by which this took place and as a result Stormzy will no longer be performing tonight.”
The festival, which combines snow sports with a mix of musical styles, features Fat Boy Slim and Chase & Status on its line-up this year.
Representatives of the festival and Stormzy have been contacted for further comment.

Barangay's power and authority
Barangay elected officials for 2018-2020
This is the "Barangay Code of the Philippines".
The barangay has power and authority over its domain. The improvement of the barangay rests on the barangay officials. The barangay chairman, the barangay council and the local businessmen forge the prosperity of the barangay. Not the president of the Philippines, senate, nor congress, not the governor of the province, not the mayor nor council of the municipality or city. Poor barangays stay poor because of weak and/or ignorant(uninformed) barangay leaders.
When roads need to be built or any infrastructure within the barangay is needed, all the barangay officials have to do is make a resolution and demand for it from the city or municipality council. The resolution will force the city/municipal council or responsible government office to hear the legitimate demands. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease."
Practically anything that has to do with the barangay, the barangay officials have a say on it and most likely the authority over it. The majority of the barangay officials are not aware of their duties and power. They depend on the city council or mayor. The elected barangay officials are afraid of the mayor and city/municipality's "Sangguniang Panlungsod". They are in fear of being ousted or removed from office. The truth is, "Sangguniang Panlungsod" does not have the power to remove any elected barangay officials from office. Only the COURT OF LAW can do this (judicial branch of the government). Information is power. Be informed.
The control of traffic is not up to the city council or chief of police. It is controlled by the barangay. If the barangay needs traffic enforcers, the barangay can make a resolution to demand it from the city or municipality council. When the electric coop or the water district do not maintain their lines, the barangay can directly demand for the maintenance from the utility companies. No need to wait for city council.
The citizens also has the power to make demands to the barangay officials. In case the officials get blinded. Simply file an official complaint with the barangay secretary naming the Punong barangay as the respondent representing the barangay.
Cleaning the shorelines, drainage systems, streets, rivers, and parks within your barangay is YOUR responsibility. You are accountable for this. It is not the responsibility of the City/Municipality officials. The citizens and officials of the barangay are responsible.
BUDGET: As far as the preparation for the budget expenditures, it starts at the barangay level, then moves on to cities, municipalities, provinces and regions. The barangays need to exercise their authority. They need to put their yearly budget together for their administration and future projects. The majority of the barangays leave this job to the municipality and city. This is so wrong. Then when the budget doesn't come or is lacking, they complain.
The budget for the barangays does go to the City or Municipality, but simply for holding and later distribution. The city or municipality DOES NOT approve the budget. It was already approved by congress. The city or municipality simply "distributes" the approved budget.
The bureau of internal revenue is in cahoots to subdue the barangays, municipalities and provinces. They call the rightful shares to the taxes collected as "Internal Revenue Allotment Dependency". It is not a dependency. It is the lawful and rightful share of the LGU as specified in "TITLE III, SHARES OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNITS IN THE PROCEEDS OF NATIONAL TAXES, CHAPTER I, Allotment of Internal Revenue Taxes, Section 284."
Imperial Manila does not exist anymore. Budgetary planning has been "DECENTRALIZED since 1991.".
DURING ELECTIONS: Where do City and Municipality politicians go to campaign? They seek the support of the Barangay officials. They plead to the barangay folks for the votes. After the election they forget you. Do not ever forget the power of the barangay.
Ignorance keeps the pinoys thinking that Manila rules. Be informed, be educated and make your barangay prosper.
Absolutely NO need for FEDERALISM. It is a ploy to give the Bangsamoro an Islamic State where the religion of Islam is financed by the Philippine government. Bangsamoro will be a HOMELAND not for all Filipinos but for only the Muslim Filipinos. It violates the constitution's "separation of church and state".

Apple announces iBooks 2, Textbooks, iBooks Author
Textbooks will integrate not only portability but interactiveness to bring a whole new level of engagement to K-12 students and above. Authors will have total freedom in what they can offer, from animations to traditional graphics and text.
By Zack Whittaker for Between the Lines | January 19, 2012 -- 07:44 GMT (23:44 PST) | Topic: Apple
Apple today announced its plans to "reinvent the textbook."
At a live event in New York City, the Cupertino-based giant revealed a new textbook experience for the iPad by reinventing iBooks.
iBooks 2 is the next-generation content store for e-books, and is available today. These educational, student-oriented e-books will appear in the iBooks 2 under the new heading: Textbooks. This section of the iBookstore will include high school-level books, and more in due time, priced at $14.99 or less.
Apple is working with publishers and partners, including Pearson, McGraw Hill and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt -- as previously rumored -- to enabled cheaper, more accessible e-book content. Books will always remain up to date, including revised copies. Students will also keep their copies forever.
Phil Schiller, Apple's vice-president of worldwide marketing, took to the stage early in the proceedings. He discussed the challenges facing education, and how Apple technology is used by teachers and students alike.
"There are over 20,000 education applications built specifically for the iPad," Schiller said. He revealed that there are now more than 1.5 million iPads in schools, colleges and universities.
"The end-user student experience will have "super-fast, super-fluid navigation", he added.
He noted that: "90 percent of textbooks are made available" by the partnerships.
Apple is also rolling out iBooks Author, giving ordinary people the tools to create these e-books. It will be available for the Mac, and is available today. The layout is easy, and the creation process is simple, giving a what-you-see approach to educators and students alike, to create engaging e-books.
It has a iWork-feel about the software, allowing users who are already versed in Keynote and Pages the ability to jump right in. But while it is designed for the lay-person, those who have programming knowledge can also implement their own code into e-books, alongside text and graphics. It also supports HTML5.
Apple is making publishing directly to the iBookstore simple. Created e-books can be viewed and previewed on the iPad first, and then published directly to the iBookstore.
iBooks Author is free.

Manufacturers voice Brexit fears as clock enters final countdown
The spectre of Brexit is looming large as a source of business risk for manufacturers in 2019 which, together with a cocktail of protectionism and looming global slowdown is producing a more pessimistic outlook for growth prospects in the coming year according to a major survey released today by EEF, the manufacturers’ organisation and the global insurer AIG.
The EEF/AIG Annual Senior Executive Survey shows that whilst companies still expect to see growth in domestic and export orders, as well as employment, in the coming year, they are much less confident than a year ago, especially about prospects for the UK economy.
Aside from Brexit and trade related matters, the survey also shows that cyber security continues to rise up the business agenda with the number of companies citing disruption from cyber attacks as the most significant risk to their business doubling in the last year.
The survey showed Brexit is the biggest source of uncertainty for three quarters of companies / Picture: Getty/iStock
EEF Chief Executive, Stephen Phipson, said: “While companies are naturally optimistic by their very nature, the spectre of Brexit is now very front of mind for manufacturers. This is bringing with it a whole host of risks from increased exchange rate volatility to rising input costs which right now are very difficult to plan for.
“Business is crying out for some certainty and clarity on moving to a transition period and will have watched the pre-Christmas pantomime in Parliament with dismay. This situation cannot continue.
“The Prime Minister’s deal is the right one and it is to be hoped that MPs will return to Parliament this week with the very clear message from businesses that they must back it so we can move forward with negotiations on our future relationship with the EU. No deal is simply not an option for UK manufacturers.”
Simon Gallimore Manufacturing Industry Group Lead of AIG, added: “It’s promising to see that UK manufacturers remain optimistic about the prospects for the global economy, despite the challenges of Brexit and other trade tensions expected in 2019, and the potential for a squeeze on cash flow. Strong credit-management bolstered with trade credit insurance can provide some protection for manufacturers’ revenues, whilst supporting their efforts to expand successfully into new markets.
“Aside from the increasing fears related to the uncertain economic environment in the UK, this year’s survey shows that disruption from cyber attacks remains the most significant risk faced by manufacturers. As technology and data continue to play increasingly critical roles in the industry, companies will inevitably find themselves more vulnerable to cyber breaches, which can cause severe disruption to the supply chain.
“Manufacturing is key to the UK’s performance on the world stage, and plays an important part in improving the health of the economy. Minimising disruption to the industry and protecting revenues will be of paramount importance in the coming year. Insurance is one way to help provide reassurance for businesses.”
Survey respondents said exchange rate volatility, customs checks and relocation of major customers away from UK were the biggest Brexit related risks / Picture: Getty/iStock
Global economy positivity
According to the survey, overall companies are still positive about the prospects for the global economy but the number who take this view is down sharply from last year with half seeing more risks than opportunity compared to a quarter who see more opportunities. However in contrast to last year there is a marked polarisation between those who expect global conditions to improve significantly and those expecting it to deteriorate significantly.
Brexit uncertainty
Given the UK departure from the EU Brexit and, the consequences surrounding it, almost three quarters of manufacturers (72%) say it is their biggest source of uncertainty. Within this over four fifths of companies (81%) identified exchange rate volatility as a risk to their business plan with only one fifth of companies saying significant currency movement was not a risk in 2019.
Weaker sterling
Furthermore, the impact of a weaker sterling bringing upward pressure on input costs was also seen as a risk by three quarters of companies. This counters the oft quoted assertion that a weaker sterling would be of universal benefit to manufacturing. (A previous EEF survey backed this up with only 6% of companies saying a weaker sterling would be of benefit).
Frictionless trade
The survey also shows that delays at customs was a risk for almost four fifths of companies (76%), highlighting the critical need to pursue a Brexit that brings frictionless trade. For 1 in 3 companies delays at customs was seen to be their most significant risk. Furthermore, almost half of companies saw a relocation of a major customer away from the UK as a source of risk, one third of these directly related to Brexit.
Actions to mitigate the direct impact of Brexit include an evaluation of suppliers inside and outside the UK (68% and 63%) respectively and stockpiling components/raw materials. Over six in ten companies are looking to stockpile (62%) with 29% already doing so and a further 33% planning to do so in 2019.
Cyber security risks
Brexit is not the only risk to company business plans, however, with almost two thirds of companies (63%) seeing disruption from cyber attacks as a risk, closely followed by increased trade protectionism (59%). Furthermore, whilst it was seen as the least source of risk, almost half of companies saw a relocation of a major customer away from the UK as the main source of risk, one third of these directly related to Brexit.
The surveys shows that companies are taking a range of options to mitigate the risks they may face to their business plans. The extent of the threat from cyber attacks is highlighted by the fact it is top of the list for companies taking action with 60% of companies already increasing protection with a further 26% planning to do so.
