BkiUfa05qhDCuPMnCBuY | We asked the EPA where Pruitt got his incorrect data, but we did not receive a response.
Sen. John McCain claimed on a Sunday talk show that "we were told there would never be a case of Ebola in the United States." Not exactly. U.S. health officials, early in the outbreak, said it was highly unlikely, but we could not find any instances of them saying it would never happen. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUgubxK7IAEeGRg7am | Q: javascript declaring var now and later When writing a Javascript function I have always made the first assignment to a variable with var as in
var x = 1;
Later x may be something else. Should I write
if (something ) {
x = 2;}
or
if (something) {
var x = 2;}
If you could say why that would help.
A: You shouldn't use the var keyword if you're changing the value of a variable that's already been declared.
So:
var x = 1;
if(something) x = 2;
If the test was that simple, you could also write it like this:
var x = something ? 2 : 1;
It's also got to do with scoping. A new scope is created within functions.
For example:
var x = 1;
function myFunction(){
var x = 2;
}
myFunction();
console.log(x); // 1
Whereas, if you omitted the var keyword within the function, you would be altering the value of the x variable in the outer scope and the console.log(x) would show 2.
A: In code that simple, it actually makes no difference whatsoever to the JS interpreter.
For the sake of all who have to read the code, however, it is best to declare variables once at the top of the scope in which they are needed. This helps make it very clear to all who work with the code where a variable is scoped. It also helps you avoid running into confusing issues caused by the JavaScript hoisting mechanism (which mechanism is actually the very reason it doesn't matter in your code).

BkiUdaI4uBhiwecdfac4 | So, what are the set of facts I came across?
Well, it transpires that even though I am qualified to teach at undergraduate level in a university, I am not qualified to teach in the vocational education and training (VET) area, which is focused on sub-degree certifications for specific industry skills and competency areas.
So I am undertaking a Certificate IV in Training and Assessment; successful completion will allow me to train in and teach VET subjects.
As part of my studies, I have become quite familiar with both the Australian Qualifications Framework (AQF), and the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF). The AQF splits all qualifications into ten levels, where a PhD is number ten, and a Certificate I is the lowest qualification level. The first seven levels on that scale are below a Bachelor's degree, and levels five to seven are diploma-level qualifications.
The emphasis is mine. What the AQF document is talking about is excellent communication skills, not least in writing. By excellent I don't mean everybody who can grunt gets a gold star. I actually mean a professional standard of English, with a solid grasp of grammar and spelling.
More importantly, HR managers and others who select new hires or decide on promotions will be strongly guided by the AQF guidelines. Maybe not as a strict policy, but certainly because someone has already prepared these guidelines, and they have wide application.
Lest you think this is a tough standard to meet, wait for the prescriptions in the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF). There isn't a precise correlation between the AQF and ACSF, but figure 1 below offers a rough equivalency.
Figure 1: AQF and ACSF. Based on Matt Peachey.
So, by the time working people have completed a certificate IV qualification, they are expected to have level five ACSF competencies in learning, reading, writing, oral communication, and numeracy. Note the steep rise in the learning curve between pre and post-degree qualifications, and the requirement for the same core skills before a degree is attained, and up to PhD level. Adapting to such a learning curve, and keeping the knowledge and skills acquired that way fresh requires constant use of them in practical settings. For example, if you were to get a driving licence and then not drive for the next ten years, or only very rarely, you would not expect to be an experienced and resourceful driver in a variety of vheicles and under a variety of circumstances. Likewise with reading and writing.
I'm not saying the AQF and ACSF prescriptions necessarily reflect workplace realities; there has been a lot of critique about the literacy and numeracy levels of school-leavers, and even of university graduates. However, in a tight jobs market, with strong competition, being able to evidence a higher skill level than others in any area of competency will count for something.
The following tables, taken directly from the ACSF guidelines document, are what recruitment and HR professionals increasingly rely on to assess candidates beyond the more directly rôle-related skills and experience.
Particularly interesting is the table (below) listing sample activities, some of which have been used by employers to create case studies that job applicants have to process in order to produce written responses demonstrating their comprehension of the material, and their ability to summarise and report on what they have read.
Figure 4: Reading level five competency tests.
Ask yourself whether you can and do meet these standards. Be honest. You don't have to tell anyone. But if these requirements don't concern you, you are probably highly trained in literacy or independent of anyone else's assessment of your skills.
How would you track if asked to compare and contrast technical and performance specifications of several different systems prior to making a multi-milion-dollar purchasing recommendation? That one still makes me nervous.
But technical reading and abalysis are merely specific examples of a much deeper competency in this regard. There is a huge difference between consuming throw-away text on a tiny screen, designed solely to harvest and sell your personal details, and reading to try and understand someone's arguments and ideas on paper, or at least on a book-sized screen intended less for consumerism than productivity and professional applications.
It's not enough to absorb and repeat buzzwords. Professionals worthy of promotion and better positions will have a depth of knowledge that comes only from concentrated absorption of ideas and information, leading to thoughtful critical analysis, and the resulting synthesis, or creation of new knowledge. That synthesis is the ultimate value-added product of habitual reading and analysis (see also the knowledge management part of my essay on 'Innovation without delusions'). It doesn't happen as a one-off effort, and it is recognised as a pattern, not as a single instance, or even a few of them.
Likewise, paying attention to business communications when others don't will be noticed. For example, treating email as a serious business communication tool, and thinking about responses rather than being cavalier about them will be noticed and appreciated. The same goes for contributions to organisational Wikis, Sharepoint information resources, reports, submissions, and white papers.
And that's just about reading competency. Now for the writing part.
Figure 7: Writing level five competency tests.
I have an English degree, have worked as a journalist, editor, and as a business and technical writer. If I had to prove my skills against these criteria, I would have to work at it a bit. Meaning I think these are tough standards to meet even for experts in literacy.
The position paper or report based on analysis and stakeholder consultation is still one of the most common demands made of professionals across a range of disciplines that are routinely handled very badly. Being able to do this well really distinguishes a candidate for a job or promotion, all other things being equal.
Let me reiterate: the competencies and tests alluded to above are not a reflection of universal reality. Not yet. But in a tight job market, where competition for jobs and promotions is fierce, the decision-makers will increasingly rely on standards and evidence requirements like those shown above.
If you think your literacy skills could do with a brush-up, there are some easy things you can do that won't make you sweat (too much).
As with all other things, a skill acquired will only be a finely honed skill if used regularly. That means you ought to read and write regularly.
Reading doesn't have to be heavy or boring. An airport thriller, a romance novel, or even some of the classics will do. So long as it is a regular habit. Like half an hour before bed time most nights, or the twenty minutes on the train to and from work. It isn't so much the content as the subliminal process of recognising the correct spelling of words, the variations on grammatical usage, the incidence of idiom, metaphor, and simile, that matter when it comes to reading. And maybe also a habit of looking up words you don't already know, or are not sure of. All of that has become really simple in the era of eBooks, Kindles, and tablets. I use my old Nexus 7 almost exclusively as an eBook reader, and regularly flick back and forth between dictionary, Google, and the latest thriller novel I'm reading to look up words, locations, and gadgets, and sometimes even grammatical rules (because I'm nerdy that way).
Regular writing also doesn't have to be onerous or heavy going.
Many professionals use a self-reflection discipline to review and improve their practices and performance. That means thinking about what you did today, whether it could have been done better, and if so, how. I do this first in my head and then on paper, in a longhand journal. Journaling doesn't have to aim at Tolstoyesque door-stop volumes. Entries in a journal can be quite brief, but it is a good idea to get into the habit of writing clear sentences anyone could understand–the way it is required in business and professional communication.
At the same time as habitually writing clean and precise sentences, there are some bad habits to avoid. Two of the least professional forms of communication today are SMS text messages, and tweets. If you indulge in these frequently, your professional communication skills may be withering away quite rapidly for lack of use. Just look at the poor quality of communication that characterises the tweets of some well-known contemporary politicians. Bad communication like that is a reflection, too, of atrociously poor analytical skills and very muddled thinking!
My greatest anxiety about using Smart Replies, though, was that other people would know I was using them. I worried that my editors would see my "On it!" and feel like I was cruising on autopilot, or that my friends would get a "Perfect!" and feel like I didn't care enough about them to craft a finely tailored response. (This unease runs both ways: Has the editor who replies "This is great!" even bothered to read my fresh story draft?) Answering e-mails started to become more work than it used to be, as I labored to whip up artisanal one-liners. My typical response to a quick work e-mail—a straightforward, if somewhat Wally Cleaver-esque, "Gotcha"—now sounded horrifically canned. I became baroque in my punctuation and capitalization ("LET A GAL KNOW!!!"), figuring that sounding like a deranged human was preferable to sounding like a computer server.
Email has legal status now, and should be written and responded to the same way as official correspondence. For most organisations that requires a level of formality that doesn't stoop to one-liners. When I respond to business emails I tend to draft my replies in a text editor or word processor, as much to remind me that this isn't some onerous task worthy of only a slapdash effort as it is to help me focus on the message rather than the medium. What is it that needs to be said. Not what can I get away with because I personally don't think of email as a serious communication medium.
All this to say, if you do not write longer-form prose regularly, you will get worse at it over time.
If you are considering a move from your current job, or asking for promotion, it couldn't hurt to start practicing the kind of writing you need to do to evidence your skills in this area. I have a portfolio of sample written work to show if I need to, as evidence of the range and complexity of documents I can and do write. And I have copies of previous submissions and applications I can easily re-process for new purposes.
Maybe you don't need a portfolio, but it couldn't hurt to have some ready-made sample documents for reports, submissions, applications, and any other kinds of documents you might be asked to produce at short notice. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUbRnxaJJQnHaRvyb3 | Accused Red Sparrow-style Russian agent traded sex for influence, prosecutors say
On at least one occasion, Butina also "offered an individual other than U.S. Person 1 sex in exchange for a position within a special interest organization", prosecutors claimed in documents Wednesday.
An FBI affidavit submitted along with a criminal complaint against Butina last week said she and US Person 1 worked together to arrange introductions to other Americans who are influential in US politics, "including an organization promoting gun rights ... for the goal of advancing the agenda of the Russian Federation".
On Jan. 20, 2017, in response to a photo that Butina sent to Torshin near the U.S. Capitol on Inauguration Day, Torshin allegedly responded: "You're a daredevil girl!"
She has been accused of working with a high-powered Russian official and two unnamed American citizens, trying to infiltrate a pro-gun rights organisation in the United States and trying to influence U.S. foreign policy toward Russia.
The Justice Department said Butina had broken USA law by not disclosing to authorities that she was acting on behalf of the Russian government. In seeking her detention, prosecutors said that her "legal status in the United States is predicated on deception".
Prosecutors said: "The concern that Butina poses a risk of flight is only heightened due to her connection to suspected Russian intelligence operatives". That description would match Alexander Torshin, a former Russian senator and central banker who was one of 17 Russian government officials individually subjected to sanctions earlier this year for activities related to Syria and Ukraine as well as Crimea.
Butina was arrested over the weekend amid signs that she was planning to leave the country.
A federal district court judge on Wednesday ordered alleged Russian foreign agent Maria Butina to remain in custody while she awaits trial.
More news: Twelve Russian intelligence officers charged over USA election hacking
Prosecutors also detailed texts between the official and Butina in which the official compares her with Anna Chapman and asks if fans want her autographs yet.
In October 2016, "U.S. Person 1" told Butina in an email that he had "been involved in securing a VERY private line of communication between the Kremlin and key "Political Party 1" leaders through, of all conduits, the "Gun Rights Organization.'" Helson concluded that this email showed the American's "involvement in Butina's efforts to establish a 'back channel" communication for representatives of the Government of Russian Federation".
In documents seized by the FBI, Butina "complained about living with U.S. Person 1", they wrote.
USA prosecutors allege that Butina sought to cultivate close ties with the NRA as a conduit to the Republican Party during the 2016 presidential election. She cancelled her lease, sent US$3,500 to an account in Russian Federation and inquired about renting a moving truck, prosecutors said.
Torshin has been described as a mentor to Butina, and both have been actively involved with the NRA in recent years.
Prosecutor Erik Kenerson told the court that "the evidence is overwhelming the defendant was here on behalf of the government of Russia.to carry out a covert influence campaign".
"This happened with the obvious task of minimising the positive effect" of this week's Helsinki summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump, foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said. Authorities added that Butina has ties to wealthy businessmen in the Russian oligarchy.

BkiUdDg5qoaAwtECZEE0 | Q: Confusion in the meaning of variables in Big-O notation. Trying to learn asymptotic notation, and I read that O(g(n)) = { f(n) : there exists positive constants $c$ and $n_0$ such that $0 \leq f(n) \leq cg(n)$ for all $n \geq n_0$}.
However, I'm not too sure of their meanings. I'd assume f(n) is the algorithm? But what are the other variables for?
Sorry if I'm not even right about f(n) being the algorithm...
A: $f(n)$ and $g(n)$ are any positive functions. For instance $f(n)$ may describe the running time of a certain algorithm for an input of size $n$, or it may describe the amount of memory a certain algorithm uses for an input of size $n$, but it may also be entirely unrelated to algorithms -- this asymptotic notation is just a mathematical notation which is used in analysis.
To say that $f(n) \in O(g(n))$ means intuitively "$f(n)$ does not grow faster than $g(n)$ times a constant". For instance, $n^2 \in O(n^3)$ because we can take $n_0=1$ and $c=1$ because $0\leq n^2\leq n^3$ for all $n\in\mathbb{N}$. We also have $5n^2 \in O(n^2)$ with $n_0=1$ and $c=5$. But on the other hand we can't say that $n^3\in O(n^2)$ because for every constant $c$ there is some $m\in\mathbb{N}$ such that for every $n>m$ we have $n^3 > cn^2$.
The purpose of the constant $c$ is to allow us to say that functions which are the same up to multiplication by a constant "grow at the same asymptotic rate" in the sense that for any $f(n)$ we have $f(n)\in O(Cf(n))$ and $Cf(n)\in O(f(n))$ for any $C>0$. The purpose of the constant $n_0$ is to allow the functions to possibly behave differently for the first few terms. What matters is what happens asymptotically, that is, for large $n$, and if there are a finite number of exceptions for the rule then $n_0$ is there to allow those.
Keep in mind that a very common abuse of notation is to write $f(n)=O(g(n))$ instead of $f(n)\in O(g(n))$.
A: We say that a function $f$ is $O(g)$ if there is some constants $C>0$ and some $n_0>0$ such that $0\leq f(n)\leq Cg(n)$ for all $n>n_0$ as you have stated. Now we want to relate this to an algorithm, and what we mean when we say that an algorithm is $O(f)$ is that the running time of the algorithm is $O(f)$ in the "worst-case scenario". Now what we mean by worst case scenario is the most computational steps used in the algorithm, so the function we are looking at is the maximum computations taken with an input size of $n$.
I think an example might enlighten us. Consider the classical bubble sort. Let us do a concrete example. Say we wish to sort $3,2,1$. Then we go through and compare $3$ and $2$ and swap them to get $2,3,1$, then we compare $3$ and $1$ and swap to get $2,1,3$. That is the first pass through the algorithm and we have that the largest entry is to the right, and we had to do $2$ checks/swaps, so $2$ computations. Now when we do the second loop, we will compare $2$ and $1$ and swap them. There is $1$ computation done here (as we don't have to compare with $3$ as we know that $3$ is already in the correct place). Thus, for bubble sort with $3$ elements we did $2+1$ computations, so $f(3)=2+1$.
If we think about what would happen if we did this for a list of $n$ elements, then we would do $n-1$ checks/swaps in the first loop, then $n-2$, all the way to $1$. Thus, we find that $f(n)=\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}i=\frac{(n-1)n}{2}=\frac{n^2-n}{2}$. Now we see that this function is $O(n^2)$ (as it is a well-known fact that for polynomials are $O(x^{\deg(f)})$). So this is what we mean when we say that bubble sort is $O(n^2)$ that the function of the number of computations done when we put in a list of $n$ elements is $O(n^2)$.
Now there is something that I should mention, there are implementations of bubble sort where if you don't do any swaps in a loop you conclude that the list is already sorted and you terminate the algorithm, and in this case, if you put in the list $1,2,3,...,n$ that is already sorted, it would just do a single pass through the loop (i.e. it would only do $n-1$ comparisons for this example). This does not mean that bubble sort is $O(n)$ (even though it would run faster than quadratic in this case). This is the meaning of "worst-case scenario" since the worst case of a list of length $n$ is doing every single check.
A: Let $f(n)$ be the running time of the algorithm as a function of the input size $n$. We are interested in the rate of growth of the running time. As we provide more and more inputs to the algorithm, the running time increases. In the limit as $n \to \infty$ (for some very large input), is it possible to find a $g(n)$, such that the rate of growth of the algorithm $f(n)$ is bounded by the rate of growth of $g(n)$?
For instance, take insertion sort. It's good to know, for instance, insertion sort on a bunch of numbers takes atleast, say, $t=10$ seconds. However, it would be great, if we can say, insertion sort takes no more than $t=12$ seconds. Because, everybody loves a guarantee. Thus, we are trying to find an upper bound on the growth of running time.
Suppose an algorithm has a running time $f(n)=999,999 n^2$. We can always choose a constant $c=1,000,000$, so that $f(n) \leq cg(n)$, where $g(n)=n^2$. Thus, $999,999 n^2 \in O(n^2)$. Since, $\sqrt{n},\log{n}, n, n^{\frac{3}{2}},n^{\frac{5}{3}},n^{\frac{7}{4}},\ldots,5n^2$ - all of them grow no faster than $cn^2$ ($c$ is of our choosing), they belong to $O(n^2)$.

BkiUbUbxK2li-LM1QF53 | Hundreds, even thousands of federal employees line up in charitable food distribution lines.
Airport security employees receiving free meals.
A restaurant chain company plans to provide free food.
What's happening in the greatest country in the world?
The ripple effect of the modern day (natural and man-made) catastrophes cannot be underestimated and contained in the present day. The wounds and the scars of the unexpected will remain in the history of our neighborhoods, cities, the entire US.
However, the US government shutdown affects not just the US but the entire world. The government shut down does not affect the 800,000 government employees alone. It affects the businesses, it affects the education, the family, religions, arts/entertainment and of course the media. It affects all the sectors of our society. It affects the government benefits that are part of the fabric of our culture.
One of the benefits is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) known before as Food Stamp. The February SNAP benefit was already issued on January 16th. This means that the food pantries and other community resources will be busy and in much need in February and the following month/s.
This government shutdown affect the entire population , not just those who receive SNAP but all of us. Why? There was a study done by J.R. Caughron of Clemson Univ titled, "An Examination of Food Insecurity and its Impact on Violent Crime in American Communities" – 1% increase in food insecurity leads to 12% increase in violent crime (even isolating other predictors of violent crime).
We area all interconnected like a organism. When our finger hurts, we feel it and it bothers our entire physical being. The way we think affects our emotion and our character. Our past affects our future and our education affects our social lifestyle.
Similarly, this shutdown affects not only those who are working for the government but the entire US population. We are all interconnected. This shutdown affects not only our current time but the future of our country. When someone is hungry or cannot pay the bills, it affect our community.
On the other side of the equation, if we can decrease the food insecurity by 1%, the positive impact of it would create a chain of social, economic andspiritual effects in our neighborhoods including reduction of crime, hatred and family dynamics.
We are interconnected. When someone is suffering, our entire society suffers at one level or another.
Would you pray with me that we will realize that all of us can do something, no matter how small it is, we can impact something larger than ourselves. We can do something to encourage others because we are all interconnected. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 4 |

BkiUdF84uzqh_OyQcDV_ | Hi everyone! Today I wanted to share how I did on the reading challenges I attempted in 2016.
So I participated in 4 reading challenges this past year, and, as usual, I completed some and failed on the others. But I'm not too worried about it; I still enjoy participating in the challenges, even if I don't always meet my goal.
So here are the challenges I participated in this past year, and how I did with each of them. The links go to the host's site, the challenge sign-up page, or my review of that book.
2. In the Hand of the Goddess ( Song of the Lioness #2) by Tamora Pierce – Read from 02/09/16-02/16/16 *I planned on reading all 4 books of this series, but I ended up DNFing the 3rd book . I think one day I'll go back and finish the series, but I just really wasn't enjoying the book (which could have been because of a number of factors, not just the book itself). I know that Danielle said that we should read up to the most current book in the series for this challenge, and I did try to do that, and I did end up reading at least 2 full books from this series, so I'm just not really sure if this still counts or not. Anyway, I'm going to count them for now and if they don't count, I'll change it later.
5. The Dark and Hollow Places ( The Forest of Hands and Teeth #3) by Carrie Ryan – Read from 03/31/16-04/03/16 *I tried really hard to get this series read before the end of March, and it just didn't happen. But I'm going to consider this series as counting for the challenge for two reasons. First, in the sign up post for this challenge, Danielle states that " The books in your chosen series must be read within the same month (give or take a couple of days only)." I went 3 days into April, so I think that's pretty close. And secondly, I didn't start this series until March 17, so if I had been able to start the series earlier, I would have completed it all within March. I'm not sure if Danielle will see it this way, but honestly, I sign up for these challenges just as a challenge. I never go back and link up or try for the prizes, so it's not likely that it will matter at all, anyway.
*I'm not sure if this series would really count for this challenge, but I'm counting it. They're comics, but let's be real, I read 150 comics in one month. That's no small feat. The compendiums are 1,088 pages, 1,068 pages, and 1,088 pages, respectively, and Volume 25 is 136 pages. So I read 3,380 pages of comics. I mean, I know that's nowhere near the same as reading 3,380 pages of a prose novel, but still. I read a lot of comics in one month, and I caught up to where the compendiums and volumes end, so for myself, I'm going to count it for this challenge. And as I said above, I don't ever enter any of the challenge contests or link up my challenge or anything, I'm just doing this for me.
So I think I did pretty good with these challenges, even though I failed two of them. I've signed up for 4 challenges again in 2017, and you can find out which ones here, plus watch a video of how I incorporated them into my bullet journal!
How did you guys do on your reading challenges for 2016? Let me know!
You didn't like The Book Thief? That's too bad. I loved the book. The movie wasn't my taste, though.
You had a great year in reading! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 2 |

BkiUe_zxK0wg09FXXfM1 | I'm finding it a little hard to fill the time. I suppose I should start in on the "final checks" part of the manual, but I really want to get it on the ground with brakes and everything working first.

BkiUbW04uzki0w6oMytB | JRTC leadership hosts 'State of JRTC, Fort Polk' event
By Chuck Cannon, Fort Polk Public Affairs and CommunicationsJuly 6, 2021
FORT POLK, La. — FORT POLK, La. — Civic and governmental leaders from west central Louisiana gathered at the Joint Readiness Training Center and Fort Polk June 24 to learn the state of JRTC and Fort Polk and get a glimpse of what is planned in the future for the sprawling installation.
Brig. Gen. David Doyle, commanding general, JRTC and Fort Polk, began the event by introducing the tenant units on the JRTC and Fort Polk and their many unique roles. He also explained how the Soldier population on the installation swells or decreases based on rotations.
He then spoke about how JRTC and Fort Polk has a history of training Soldiers for combat throughout the world, from World War II to today's Afghanistan and Iraq battles.
He told those gathered that Fort Polk's No. 1 priority was "People First" and the importance of dialogue between civic and installation leaders. He then pointed out that Army leaders have said the JRTC and Fort Polk will remain a "vibrant location" for the Army.
"We're open for business," he said.
Doyle stressed the importance of "consistent partnerships" between Fort Polk and area communities, including political entities and schools. To that end, he said JRTC and Fort Polk will continue to invite the surrounding communities to installation activities such as the Dye Hard Color run, 5K Warrior Swamp Run, Amazing Race, Snowflake Festival, Freedom Fest, Movie Nights and the Louisiana Hayride.
Doyle addressed Quality of Life efforts on Fort Polk, including improvements to housing, barracks, water systems and roads, as well as the addition of a new car and pet wash, lighted walking trails, renovated bowling alley, basketball courts and 50-meter pool.
"We have 12 major Quality of Life projects this year, and 24 more during the next two years," he said. "It's all because we want to take care of our Soldiers and Families.
Following Doyle's briefing, the visitors visited static displays highlighting units on post, toured the barracks under renovation and enjoyed lunch at the Patriot Inn Restaurant.
Leesville Mayor Rick Allen said in his role as mayor and chairman of Fort Polk Progress, it is important to know what Doyle's priorities are.
"Those priorities often change when leadership changes," Allen said. "We need to understand what his priorities are so we know what our priorities are. We'll get more done together than we will separate. It's important we have these kind of events so we can make sure we're pulling the wagon the same way."
Allen said Doyle's briefing eased some of his concerns.
"I was concerned about rotations in the future, and according to the slide the CG showed us today, we're going to maintain a level that I feel like we can deal with," he said.
Allen stressed the importance of the JRTC and Fort Polk to the local economy.
"We're conducting another economic impact study to update the one we currently have," he said. "Our last economic impact study (showed Fort Polk's impact) was $1.4 billion. We expect that number has increased. It's important we know exactly what that number is."
That updated study is needed to make sure Louisiana's political leadership understands Fort Polk's importance to Vernon Parish and the surrounding area and they continue to fund projects like the annexation of Fort Polk's Entrance Road into the City of Leesville, said Allen.
"The infrastructure on that road is important to the Soldiers at Fort Polk and it's crucial for us to be able to get more businesses on Entrance Road to serve those Soldiers," Allen said.
Logan Morris, CEO of the Greater Vernon Chamber of Commerce, said it's important to strengthen the relationship between the local community and the installation.
"Leesville and Vernon Parish are home to the best hometown in the Army," he said. "It's important to those of us who are talking to our Congressional delegation to see first-hand the importance of the mission of Fort Polk."
Morris said he was encouraged by Doyle's remarks.
"After listening to General Doyle, the future of Fort Polk seems very bright," he said. "We've got an excellent leadership team, both at Fort Polk and in the community. I believe it's a dream team right now and everything looks great for Fort Polk."
Gaston Coco, director of Business Development for Longleaf Hospital, said events such as the State of JRTC and Fort Polk are important.
"I like these events because it allows me to see the faces of those who are defending this country, and by getting out here, it gives them a face to see also," he said. "I thought what General Doyle had to say was great and encouraging. He wants to hear from us and hear our ideas."
Following the event, Doyle said it's important to maintain close relationships with community partners. "Today was an opportunity to provide our community leaders with an update on JRTC and Fort Polk, interact with Soldiers and strengthen our community partnerships," he said. "We're proud to be a part of this community and strive to be good neighbors."

BkiUbEfxK0-nUKDho0lO | New York has the largest police force in the country, and by becoming a member you are eligible for positions in the DEA, Criminal Investigations, highway patrol and more. But before any of this can happen, you have to take and pass the NYPD test. By understanding the basic requirements, you will be able to increase your chances of acing the exam.
For the written exam, here are the requirements.
Applicants have to be between 21 and 35 years old upon taking of the exam.
If you are over 35 but active in the US military, you can subtract six years off the age requirement.
The applicant has to be at least 21 years old.
The applicant has to be a US citizen.
On or prior to hiring day, the applicant must have at least 60 units in college with a GPA of 20 from an accredited university or college. Alternatively, you need to have served at least 2 years full time in the US military. Honorable discharge is required as well as a high school diploma or something similar.
Upon date of hiring, you must be inside of five boroughs in NYC and the nearby counties.
You must have a valid New York State driver's license.
You have to pay a $75 fingerprinting fee. This is part of the background investigation procedure.
All applicants have to pass an alcohol and drug screening test.
In addition to the police test all applicants and candidates have to pass the background investigation and character test.
The JST (Job Standard Test) is a physical exam that determines how well you can respond to a standard radio call or a critical situation. This is an essential part of the exam so you need to be prepared for it. Here are some suggestions.
Eat a well balanced diet days or weeks before the training, and avoid junk food. This will help you lose any extra pounds and increase your mobility. Second, steer clear of any caffeinated drinks, stimulants or tranquilizers as it could affect your physical performance.
Exercise is important, but even more so is the type of workout you do to prepare yourself. Research by medical experts show that short but high intensity exercises are the most effective for would-be police officers. To complement this, you should get on a diet rich in carbohydrates at least for a couple of days prior to the JST.
Finally, you should rest for two days prior to the training. If you need to exercise, it should only be light because muscle fatigue could adversely affect your performance.
The NYPD police exam is open to everyone who meets the requirements as posted above. However, there are factors and grounds that could lead to disqualification such as the following.
The candidate has been convicted of a crime punishable by one year or more of imprisonment.
Repeated violations and conviction of laws, even if the violation seems "light". The reason is repeat offenders show a lack respect for the law and a tendency leaning towards disorder.
Discharged from their job due to improper behavior or anything that has to do with lack of discipline.
Convicted of a domestic violence charge.
It must be stressed that only candidates who pass all the exams –oral and written psychological, physical and medical – will be accepted. If you cannot pass the written exam you be removed from the list of applicants to be considered.
Please be reminded that you cannot enter the premises with electronic devices including media players, cameras, smartphones, tablets calculators and similar gadgets. In addition, you cannot use devices with data recording or word processing capabilities. Organizers, planners and similar applications are not allowed.
While the NYC police exam is difficult, there are several resources available that can help you prepare.
Police Quiz (http://www.policequiz.com/states/NY.shtml) is one website you can try. The site provides specific training for the different police agencies in New York. In addition, the site provides members with online preparation, timed police exams and more. The site also offers members several multiple choice questions so you are better prepared for the test.
The site also offers a comprehensive personal and psychological assessment. In addition, the site doesn't require any special programs and is compatible with Mac, Windows and most smartphones and tablets.
Another good online resource is Police Prep at http://www.policeprep.com/public/tour_NewYorkPD.aspx. Like other online NYPD police preparation resources, it comes with a comprehensive training program so you stand a better chance of passing the exam. The prep tests and exams here cover all the basics and essentials like interview coaching, communication exams and more. In addition, the site has full length NYPD tests, behavioral exams and a complete scoring system.
Finally you can download the tutorials at http://www.nypdrecruit.com/exam-center/exam-tutorials. The preparation kit on this site will help you understand what is required and how to be ready for it. Aside from the prep kit with its sample questions, the site also has full information about the NYC police test requirements and answers to common questions in the FAQ. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdW44ubng0WcZyboO | Q: CSS animation causing z-index problems I have a weird conflict in my main.js file. I run a fade up animation on ".main-headline--left"
$('.main-headline--left').addClass('wow animated fadeInUp');
This works fine, but when I add a piece of code that makes nav-links active based on what page the user is on, the animation obstructs the logo which hangs off of the navbar (logo height > navbar fixed height). Here is that code:
if(location.pathname != "/") {
$('.navbar-nav--split a[href^="/' + location.pathname.split("/")[3] + '"]').addClass('is-active');
} else $('.navbar-nav--split a:eq(0)').addClass('is-active');
I notice this only happens in Chrome. Is there perhaps a better way to organize my Javascript or a better way to write the code so that this problem is rectified?
Here is the css animation:
@keyframes fadeInUp {
0% {
opacity: 0;
transform: translateY(30px);
transition: .1s transform, .1s opacity;
}
100% {
opacity: 1;
transform: translateY(0px);
}
}
I did not explicitly set z-index on containing elements. However, setting a z-index of 9999 on both the logo navbar does not fix the problem.
A: today I ran into similar issue... I patched it by changing the value of animation-fill-mode for the class animated as below...
.animated
{
-webkit-animation-duration: 1s;
animation-duration: 1s;
-webkit-animation-fill-mode: initial; //Changed from both to initial
animation-fill-mode: initial; /*Changed from both to initial
}
Notably, setting the animation-fill-mode to forwards was causing my issue...
animation-fill-mode: both inherits both forwards as well as backwards property, so my trillionth z-index element got hid under the millionth z-index element...
Setting it to initial worked for me.
A: I found a fix to my problem, but I have no idea why this solution works. By adding "-webkit-backface-visibility: hidden;" to my logo element, my logo no longer gets cropped when the animation on my headline and the transition on my anchor's pseudo element are run on load. I was wondering whether anyone knows why this would fix this problem. My logo element never moves on the z axis. There is a jsfiddle in the comment section that shows the code
A: @GughaG's answer is right if don't need forwards, but if you do need, try adding position: absolute -- fixed me right up!
A: The answers here did not initially make it clear that the transformed elements cannot be siblings of each other and still retain z-index layering. Therefore, a top, middle and bottom layer animating would flip/flop all over each other and other elements in the page, for example a modal popup.
What needs to happen is a wrapping control layer that is not animated but holds the z-index order of things.
i.e. from this:
<wrapper>
<child-1 /> <- animated element bottom layer
<child-2 /> <- animated element middle layer
<child-3 /> <- animated element top layer
</wrapper>
To this:
<wrapper>
<child-wrapper-1>
<child-1 /> <- animated element bottom layer
</child-wrapper-1>
<child-wrapper-2>
<child-2 /> <- animated element middle layer
</child-wrapper-2>
<child-wrapper-3>
<child-3 /> <- animated element top layer
</child-wrapper-3>
</wrapper>
Where child-wrapper 1 has z-index of 1, child-wrapper 2 has z-index of 2 etc. and are NOT animated.
Here is a working fiddle: https://jsfiddle.net/pingram3541/8rdx9u2w/show

BkiUd7rxK6wB9dbuUdWY | Smart contract application examples and use cases
Prasobh V Nair Chief Technology Officer
With the evolution of blockchain, smart contacts that were built to further expand the decentralized database into a decentralized application for further implications seems to be coming up everywhere.
Nearly every third-gen blockchain now carries the capability of running a decentralized software based on smart contracts. However, are smart contract chains any different?
Every platform carries its own particular disadvantages and advantages. However, when it comes to building a dApp (decentralized App), will one chain have greater benefits over the other chain?
Blockchain technology still seems to be at a rather infant stage. This is because this technology has had a rather slow progress over the years, especially when it comes to its usage in real-world applications. Today, there are a number of challenges that blockchain dApp development has. At the same time, there are a number of financial risks associated with the development of untested and new technology.
Let us consider a number of examples in which smart contract platforms are being used to support services and products that make use of this technology.
ICOs and Sub-tokens
Most of the blockchain ICOs that occurred in the last two years were released through the ERC-20 standard, on an Ethereum network as Sub-Tokens. Indeed, Ethereum is the king of the sub-tokens nowadays and no other blockchain could even come close to it. This is primarily because Ethereum had the first-mover benefit as in 2017, it was the only smart contract that was functioning at a large level.
Currently, more than 128000 ETC-20 contracts with sub-tokens exist on the Ethereum network. These, account for almost 80% of the dApps. This is simply a reflection of Ethereum's popularity.
Digitalization of assets
Assets digitalization has become the latest buzzword when it comes to the blockchain technology. Many people wonder how it is even possible to own a physical asset using blockchain, which includes silver and gold.
NEO is one of the latest smart contract blockchains that carries goals that are different from that of Ethereum. The prime objective of NEO is a 'smart economy' which includes smart contracts, digital identity, and digital assets.
Primarily, NEO works towards developing a platform through which services and goods can be traded in a digital format, with trading rules that can be enforced. For instance, every asset in the physical form will be entered into the blockchain with its corresponding entry. This will allow the owner to be recorded and tracked. All stakeholders will have a record of the ownership of these assets, and the record will remain decentralized.
Blockchain and personal finance are two terms that seem to go well with each other. Eventually, these terms may be even used together.
Launched in the month of September in 2018, Tezos blockchain carries some highly promising decentralized applications that aim to unite blockchain technology with the traditional financial applications/services.
Currently, the decentralized application is in its early stages of development. According to the statement, it takes a long time for traditional insurance to process the claims and costs a lot. The TezSure app, on the other hand, will make use of the blockchain technology to carry out all major financial transactions in virtually no time.
This process will also be streamlined as a result of which an entity will be able to create insurance products, based on the rules of the smart contract. Then, the coins will be moved into the pool, until claims are filed. Once a claim gets verified, payment from the pool goes out directly based on the smart contract rules that define the scope of the insurance.

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Zombi 2 (also known as Zombie, Island of the Living Dead, Zombie Island, Zombie Flesh Eaters and Woodoo) is a 1979 zombie horror film directed by Lucio Fulci. It is the best-known of Fulci''s films. The movie made Fulci a horror icon. Despite the fact that the title alludes to the film being a sequel to Zombi (the Italian title of George A. Romero''s Dawn of the Dead), the films are unrelated. When the film was released in 1979, it was scorned for its extremely bloody content notably by the at the time Conservative British Parliament.An apparently abandoned yacht drifts into New York Harbor, and the Harbor Patrol investigates. On board, a huge rotting man (Captain Haggerty) kills Marty, one of the patrolmen, by tearing out his neck with his teeth. The remaining patrol man called Bill manages to knock the hulking man into the sea by blasting him with his revolver several times.

The Big Lie: Spying, Scandal and Ethical Collapse at Hewlett Packard , Hörbuch, Digital, 1, 648min
Hewlett Packard is an American icon, the largest information-technology company in the world. The bedrock of Silicon Valley, it employs more than 300,000 people, its market capitalization is in excess of $100 billion, and its products are in almost every home in the country where there is a printer or computer. In 1999 the company began a transition from the family management style of its founders. It made a bold statement by hiring as its new CEO the most visible female business executive in America: Carly Fiorina. In 2005, the board fired her, amid accusations of imperiousness that had begun to leak damagingly into the business media.The board at that time included one of Silicon Valley's most flamboyant venture capitalists and owner of the largest and most expensive yacht in the world, and a former CIA asset who believed he personally channeled the values of the company's founders. Each had a long and complicated history with HP, and each believed he should determine the company's future. They ran up against a corporate governance expert whom they could not roll, and a new CEO whose loyalties on the board were entirely opaque. In this way, the stage was set for a rancorous feud that split the board into implacably distrusting factions. In the middle of the damaging schism, HP introduced the Big Lie. The lie was pinned on the chairman, who was receiving treatment for stage 4 ovarian cancer. And it sizzled through a largely unquestioning media.Anthony Bianco gets to heart of the ethical morass at HP that ended up damning the entire board that created it. Almost every American has an interest in how the country's greatest corporations are run, and the character of the people entrusted with them. The story of Hewlett-Packard reflects power struggles that shape corporate America and is an alarming morality tale for our times. 1. Language: English. Narrator: Peter Ganim.

Sydney Hobart Yacht Race ab 11.99 EURO The story of a sporting icon
Sequoia: Presidential Yacht
Built on the shores of the Delaware Bay in 1925, Sequoia is a Trumpy-designed 104-foot wooden motor yacht that has hosted eight U.S. presidents and has become a Chesapeake Bay icon. Giles M. Kelly served as the yachts skipper from 1983 to 1988, and was surprised to find no book chronicled her history. During his tenure as captain of the yacht, he took the boat around the country on a goodwill cruise and later oversaw her major restoration. His wife, Ann Stevens, a professional photographer, documented much of that trip and the restoration. Although only two years of the ships logs could be found, Kelly undertook to uncover the truth of Sequoias many sea stories by primary research and interviewing those who had served and visited aboard. He soon discovered a kind of Upstairs, Downstairs perspective on Sequoia. This element lends a unique appeal to this saga of an interesting vessel and her service through eight administrations.
Gipsy Moth IV
The dramatic story of Gipsy Moth IV from her epic first circumnavigation to her restoration, wreck and triumphant return. In this beautifully illustrated book, Yachting Monthly's Paul Gelder tells the remarkable story of Gipsy Moth's rise, fall and triumphant rise again. It is the definitive history of this sailing icon, illustrated throughout with never before published photographs of the boat, the restoration project and dramatic images from both of her epic voyages. The author has had unprecedented access to both the Chichester family archives and to the skippers' and crews' logs for the second circumnavigation, he even sailed aboard her on the first leg from Plymouth to Gibraltar. Having championed the restoration of this iconic yacht from the start, Paul Gelder has finally written a worthy successor the Chichester's original bestseller Gipsy Moth Circles The World.

Environmental services company projects include big Monroe Street rebuild
-—Samantha Peone
Budinger & Associates principal Steve Burchett and CEO John Finnegan bought the company from its founder in 1995.
During the past three years, Spokane Valley-based environmental services company Budinger & Associates Inc. has seen about a 25 percent increase in staff, which now consists of 46 mostly full-time employees, says John Finnegan, CEO, principal engineer, and geologist for the company.
The company's 2017 billings hit $5 million, up from $3.9 million in 2016, and total billings are projected to rise again in 2018, says Finnegan.
Budinger & Associates specializes in geotechnical and environmental engineering, says Finnegan. The company also focuses on construction materials testing, special inspections, and subsurface exploration, which is a specialty of geotechnical construction that involves drilling test borings, he says.
Geotechnical engineering identifies different types of soils and rocks. The science involves analysis, design, and construction of systems such as landfills, retaining walls, roadways, ground slopes, structural foundations, and tunnels, says Finnegan.
The company occupies 10,000 square feet at its headquarters at 1101 N. Fancher Road. That facility houses office spaces, the materials and soils laboratories, and the exploration and specialty geotechnical department. A second office, at 9997 Lyle Loop in Hayden, occupies about 1,600 square feet, says Finnegan. Budinger & Associates primarily operates within the Inland Northwest—meaning Eastern Washington, North Idaho, northeastern Oregon, and western Montana—but it also handles some projects outside of the region, Finnegan says.
The company's client base includes the city of Spokane, Spokane County, Avista Corp., and Kaiser Aluminum, he says.
Steve Burchett, principal with Budinger & Associates, says the company's smaller size enables it to provide flexibility to its clients.
"We have a wide variety of services and continuity of service, from site feasibility studies through site-specific design, cleanup, and construction," says Burchett.
For example, Budinger & Associates can help conduct environmental site assessments for clients looking to purchase a specific property, he says.
An environmental site assessment is a report compiled that determines existing or possible contamination liabilities, he says.
If the client decides to purchase a property, Budinger & Associates can provide further geotechnical characterization for the site and help design structural foundations for developments envisioned on that land. If Budinger & Associates finds possible or existing contamination of the ground, the company can design and manage environmental remediation plans to remove contaminants. The business will also offer construction material testing while the client develops the property, says Burchett.
Finnegan says notable local projects the company has worked on include the Spokane waste-to-energy facility, the Triumph Composite Systems Inc. plant, the Caterpillar Logistics Services Inc. distribution warehouse, the UTC Aerospace Systems site, the Davenport Grand Hotel, and the Spokane Convention Center completion project. The company also has worked on the ongoing Monroe Street redevelopment project and multiple bridges, dams, and combined sewer overflow tanks.
For most of those projects, Budinger & Associates participated in both the initial facility developments and continuing upgrades, says Finnegan.
Budinger & Associates has also been contracted to work on the Riverside Park Water Reclamation Facility, a contract the goes back as long as he's been with the company, he says. The facility is in the midst of a $125 million upgrade largely aimed at removing phosphorus from wastewater.
Recently, Budinger & Associates has been busy with its new Washington state Department of Transportation on-call testing contract, which entails road construction material testing and inspection, he says.
Budinger & Associates was founded in 1976. Burchett says he and Finnegan purchased the company in 1995 from F.C. Budinger when he retired. Many of the employees have been working there as long as Finnegan and Burchett have, says Finnegan.
Finnegan holds a degree in civil engineering from the University of Washington, and Burchett holds a degree in manufacturing engineering from Eastern Washington University. The two have worked in the environmental services field for 27 and 28 years, respectively. | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdwbxK6wB9mn4_fUN | We were requested by a large Gt Yarmouth business to copy a tube bending fixture by digital scanning and reproduce it as new.
We completed the digital scanning, but whilst doing this, we found many ideas which would actually improve the product, this included the materials which were originally employed, along with various limits and fits of the assembly. The client discussions didn't end there because as we critically analysed the various features of the tool with the users, further improvements were realised from the operating perspective also.
The final design embraced a new concept, which offered good improvements in use and durability, along with fully supported and easily repeatable CNC machining processes. We implemented materials into the design, which we currently use and have expert knowledge of, such as the composites which we use for patterns. By using a hard grade for the tube formers we could produce very accurate multi tube formers for a fraction of the price in aluminium.
This is the original tool, made from steel and aluminium, much altered over a 10 year life.
This is a completed roll with tubes trimmed and welded. Ready for its next operation.
This is the assembled new tube winding fixture as delivered.
This is the first stage of loading the preformed and welded tubes and manifold to the new fixture. The tolerances and spacing's on this tube supporting segment provided some challenge.
This shows the partial assembly of the fixture.

A: This could do the trick, give it a go:
Htmlize
As it states:
"You can use this package to render code snippets with syntax highlighting when exporting Org-mode files to HTML."
A: After researching for a while, I found that adding the following in the header section of the org file enables the colors that I wanted in an exported html.

15 Best PBS Shows Like Downton Abbey Update 01/2023
There's no show that'll ever be able to replace Downton Abbey, that's for sure. But if you're a fan of period drama, check out these excellent alternatives.
We strive to have a diverse and interesting TV show menu, but even more importantly, we strive to have a balanced menu. While reality TV shows (especially 90 Day Fiancé) are great junk food, we have no problem clearing our plates of the vegetables (aka period dramas and related educational programming).
Since the series finale aired a few years ago, Downton Abbey has been our go-to show whenever we needed a healthy dose of culture. However, we've had to find other quality television shows to fill that void. Fans of Downton Abbey will enjoy these ten additional shows.
Madison Lennon posted the following update on April 17, 2020: Even though Downton Abbey ended a long time ago, many of its fans still have a void in their hearts that they haven't been able to fill.
To their credit, there are a plethora of excellent period dramas available for fans who are missing the series' complex characters, intertwined plots, and superb storytelling. We've added a few more great options to our list below for anyone looking for something to replace Downton Abbey.
1. Call The Midwife
As based on Jennifer Worth's best-selling memoirs, Call the Midwife tells the story of a group of midwives and nurses who work in East London during the 1950s and 1960s. Call the Midwife The hit show Call the Midwife has been renewed for an additional two seasons, taking it all the way through 2022.
Prostitution, miscarriage, abortion, stillbirth, love, racism, religion, poverty, and other serious issues are all addressed in the series.
2. Belgravia
If you're missing Downton Abbey, check out the new series Belgravia. It's the best replacement for the beloved period drama. In addition to creating Downton Abbey, Julian Fellowes also worked on the ITV and Epix co-production. There is a series based on his book of the same name which is a historical novel.
The story begins the night before the Battle of Quatre Bras at the infamous ball hosted by the Duchess of Richmond. Before traveling 25 years ahead to Belgravia, where we discover a startling secret linking two seemingly unrelated families, we first meet the Trenchard and Brockenhurst families in 1815 Brussels.
Due to the time-travel elements in Outlander, it is more dramatic and fantastical than Downton Abbey, but there are some similarities between the two series as well. There is plenty of romantic turmoil and shocking storylines in both of these beautifully-produced period dramas.
In comparison to Downton Abbey, Outlander leans more toward romance and has less incisive dialogue, but it is an engaging show with an all-star cast that is visually stunning as well as acting-wise. Also, the current season of Outlander is still on the air, so there will be no shortage of new episodes to look forward to. It's one of the most popular shows on Starz. If you enjoy it, you may want to check out Diana Gabaldon's original book series.
The Crown is a Netflix original series starring Claire Foy about Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family's political and personal lives. Filmmaker Peter Morgan's 2006 feature-length drama The Queen served as a major inspiration for the show.
The Crown begins in Elizabeth's childhood and lasts through her reign in the twenty-first century. Netflix has extended the series by an additional two seasons, bringing the total number of seasons to five. Every two seasons, the cast is recast to show the passage of time and keep the show grounded in reality.
5. Harlots
An underappreciated Hulu Original series, Harlots tells the story of a brothel owner and many of her employees in 18th-century London. As Margaret Wells, the owner of a well-known brothel and mother of two daughters, we have Samantha Morton (The Walking Dead).
Margaret has to contend with a rival madam who wants to retake control of the town at all costs. Margaret is determined to win.
6. Victoria
Featuring Doctor Who's Jenna Coleman as the young princess, Victoria chronicles her life as she ascends to the throne at the age of 18. In the show, we learn about Queen Victoria's personal problems, her strict upbringing, her courtship with Prince Albert, and her unique political position.. She was the leader of an entire country despite being so young and needing so much guidance.
If you enjoy elaborate costumes, this show (available on Amazon Prime and PBS) is for you. The show exudes sophistication at every turn, from the opulent ballrooms to the ornate drawing rooms to the picturesque landscapes.
7. Mr. Selfridge
As devoted Downton Abbey viewers, we believe the show is flawless in every way. But if we had to choose just a few favorites, we'd say the costuming is the best part of the show, right after the characters, plots, and historical accuracy. For more early 1900s fashion, check out Mr. Selfridge on Amazon Prime.
It tells the story of Harry Gordon Selfridge, a self-made retail magnate who opened a chain of retail stores called Selfridge & Co in the early 1900s and are still in business today. Mr. Selfridge stars Jeremy Piven (Entourage) as the title guy. This series is full of drama, with stories about love, loss, and friendship revolving around them.
8. Upstairs Downstairs
If you enjoyed Downton Abbey's upstairs/downstairs dynamic, you'll enjoy Upstairs Downstairs's upstairs/downstairs dynamic as well. From 1971 to 1975, this show (now available on Hulu) aired in the time period from 1903 to 1930. Keeley Hawes (Bodyguard) and Claire Foy (The Crown) star in the 2010 reboot (who, interestingly, co-created the original series).
After starting in 1936, the reimagined Upstairs Downstairs gives viewers a good idea of life in England before World War II. Of course, the show isn't just about politics; there's plenty of family drama and levity to be found as well.
9. Ordeal By Innocence
A good murder mystery is something everyone enjoys. If you have Amazon Prime, you can binge watchOrdeal by Innocence, based on Agatha Christie's 1958 crime novel of the same name.
When wealthy heiress Rachel Argyll is found dead in her family's home, a classic whodunnit unfolds. When her adopted son Jack's fingerprints are found at the scene and he is arrested, the case appears to be solved. There is an alibi for Jack that arrives 18 months after Rachel's maid and husband have been called into question. The investigation is reopened, and the many secrets of the family start to emerge.
10. Parade's End
Apparently, someone got a Bedazzler for their birthday or something, and then they went crazy with star-studding the cast of this miniseries, as evidenced by Parade's Endis The cast includes Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock), Rebecca Hall (Holmes and Watson), Jack Huston (Boardwalk Empire), and Rufus Sewell (The Man in the High Castle).
From before World War I until the end, Benedict Cumberbatch plays British noble Christopher Tietjens (Cumberbatch), as told in a series of novels by Ford Madox Ford for HBO. In addition to his wife's promiscuity, his relationship with an unconventional pacifist and suffragette puts their social standing at risk.
11. Poldark
This Amazon Prime series, based on Winston Graham's novels, is full of family drama, relationship drama, and just plain old drama. This is a must-read for fans of Outlander.
Upon his return to England, Ross Poldark (Aidan Turner, The Hobbit) discovers his father has died, leaving an estate, debts and a copper mine for him to manage. Despite his dismay upon learning of the engagement of his childhood sweetheart (Eleanor Tomlinson) to his cousin, Ross finds solace in the form of a poor young woman named Demelza. To say it's scandalous for the time period would be an understatement.
12. The Durrells In Corfu
With a focus on the life of British naturalist Gerald Durrell's widowed mother, Louisa (Keeley Hawes), The Durrells in Corfu (available on Amazon Prime) takes place in the 1930s and follows Louisa's children as they move from England to the Greek island of Corfu. While the island is stunning, the children quickly discover that it's very different from home.
The Durrells are forced to adjust to the island's ways and work to resolve their financial problems after plunging headfirst into unknown waters. The Durrells in Corfu, which also features Josh O'Connor from The Crown as Gerald's older brother Larry, is a hilarious family comedy-drama.
13. War And Peace
In case you're a fan of period dramas and/or Russian literature, make a beeline for Hulu right now to watch BBC One's War and Peace.
The story begins in Russia in 1805, just before the French invasion begins, based on Leo Tolstoy's novel and starring Paul Dano (There Will Be Blood), Lily James (Cinderella), and James Norton (Happy Valley). There are many social conventions in peacetime that five aristocratic families must contend with as well as the devastation caused by war. As a result of its lavish production values and stellar acting, War and Peace is an essential viewing experience.
14. Wolf Hall
Wolf Hall is worth seeing just for Mark Rylance's (Ready Player One) performance, but if you're a big fan of British history, you can't miss it. This historical drama series, based on Hillary Mantel's novels Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies, is both educational and entertaining. It's available to stream for free on Amazon.
The plot revolves around the life and times of Thomas Cromwell (Rylance). There is a picture of his humble beginnings, as well as his rise to power and his precarious position as Henry VIII's chief minister (Damien Lewis). Cromwell plays chess with the royals, orchestrating the assassination of Anne Boleyn (Claire Foy), but he treads very thin water.
15. Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries
Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, based on the Kerry Greenwood novels, is a delightful mystery series. You know, as much of a delight as a string of homicides can be. This Netflix original series is available to stream right now. Also, prepare plenty of popcorn in advance, because this show is a real nail-biter!
Phryne Fisher is a wealthy, independent aristocrat with a penchant for solving crimes, played by Essie Davis (Game of Thrones). Dot Williams (Ashleigh Cummings) is Miss Fisher's paid companion and the Robin to her Batman persona. The two of them work together to solve mysteries in 1920s Melbourne.

BkiUdL44eIZjlTb7H2_A | Maria Josepha av Österrike, född 1751, död 1767, var en österrikisk ärkehertiginna, dotter till Maria Teresia av Österrike och Frans I (tysk-romersk kejsare).
Maria Josepha fick sina egna rum vid fem års ålder och uppfostrades tillsammans med det syskon av samma kön som var närmast henne i ålder, Maria Johanna av Österrike, till vilken hon också fick en nära relation. Systrarna beskrivs som flitiga elever.
Hennes mors politik inbegrep äktenskapsallianser mellan Österrikes dynasti och de styrande dynastierna i Frankrike, Spanien, Neapel och Parma, och hennes döttrar var förutbestämda att lottas ut som brudar till medlemmar av dessa monarkiers dynastier. Maria Amalia var menad att giftas bort med Ferdinand I av Bägge Sicilierna, men valdes bort på grund av åldersskillnaden, och därför trolovades i stället Maria Johanna med Ferdinand. År 1762 härjade en epidemi av smittkoppor i Wien. Maria Theresia gav order om att hennes barn skulle bli smittkoppsympade. Denna metod var framgångsrik för hennes syskon, men förorsakade Maria Johannas död. I hennes ställe blev Maria Josepha förlovad med Ferdinand.
Maria Josepha beskrivs som vacker, tillbakadragen och som sin bror Josef II:s favorit. Sedan sin systers död i smittkopporna var Maria Josepha själv rädd för sjukdomen och rädd att en dag dö i den. Samma dag hon skulle resa till Neapel för sitt äktenskap, tvingades hon av sin mor besöka det gravvalv som tillhörde hennes före detta svägerska, Maria Josepha av Bayern, som nyligen dött i smittkoppor. Legenden säger att det var bönen vid den illa tillslutna kistan som gjorde att hon själv smittades av sjukdomen, och direkt insjuknade och dog. I själva verket innebär smittkoppornas inkubationstid att Maria Josepha, med tanke på att hon insjuknade så snabbt och plötsligt, måste ha blivit smittad redan långt före besöket i gravvalvet. Maria Josepha byttes snabbt ut mot sin syster Maria Karolina, som i hennes ställe fick gifta sig med Ferdinand av Neapel året därpå.

BkiUcTrxK03BfMLyp1AJ | DEMI LOVATO: DANCING WITH THE DEVIL
By Mark Saldana
Rating: 3.5 (Out of 4 Stars)
Some people often question why so many celebrities have so many problems and issues when they are obviously successful. What do they have to be sad about? These same people usually forget that celebrities were not always famous and that, regardless of their fame, they are still human with a lot of the same weaknesses and problems that non-celebrities have. SXSW 2021 officially began with a powerful and moving documentary series which candidly reveals the struggles and problems of pop singer Demi Lovato, particularly how she almost lost her life to addiction.
The documentary series details the life and career (so far) of successful pop singer Demi Lovato, and how the trauma of abuse, mixed with the pressures of fame lead her down a path of addiction and self-destruction. Lovato had previously planned to release a documentary a few years ago that would cover her tour in 2018, along with her supposed recovery from addiction. The truth of the matter was that, during this tour, Lovato relapsed into her drug addiction and the documentary would get derailed by a near-fatal overdose. Now that Demi has survived and worked very hard to recover as best as she can from this tragic experience, she is now prepared to tell her story which exposes the roots of her problems which include a history of physical, mental, and sexual abuse which helped push her into a pattern of self-abuse and addiction.
Despite the fact that I have never really followed Demi Lovato's career, nor have I been a fan of her music, I still found myself moved and affected by this heartbreaking documentary. Lovato has come to a point where she can courageously express her story and all of the horrible things she has gone through. I applaud her courage for revealing details that are not only sad, but are also embarrassing. Director Michael D. Ratner does a great job in presenting this dark, but ultimately inspiring story. I feel that it is an essential documentary series for anyone who has suffered abuse and/or has struggled with any form of addiction. Demi Lovato: Dancing With The Devil is now available on YouTube.

BkiUbgY4uzki0oIgAAi4 | The European Parliament has voted to tackle the precariousness of zero-hours contracts, with MEPs urging the EU Commission to take immediate action.
The number of workers with fixed-term and part-time contracts has increased in the EU over the past 15 years. The Committee on Petitions, in which North East MEP Jude Kirton-Darling sits, has heard strong evidence about the growth of the abusive use of precarious work, most notably through the McDonald's campaign. This campaign gained over 31,000 signatories which resulted in formal petitions being brought to the Committee, all relating to working conditions in the fast food chain and raising concerns about their compatibility with EU legislation and the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights.
"Precarious employment, including zero-hour contracts, leads to inadequate access to social protection such as benefits and protection from unfair dismissal. It impinges on career development and training and therefore results into overall life precariousness. It is shameful that in this day and age those working for a global giant like McDonalds have had their most basic rights – maternity leave, paid holiday, redundancy – withheld through zero hours contracts.
"The North East of England, my home and the constituency I represent in the European Parliament, was recently named the Zero-Hours Capital of the UK with ONS figures revealing the number of people on a zero-hours contract in this region was up 11,000 to 45,000 in August 2017 on last year's figure, a 30% rise.
"This type of contract falls within the remit of the EU part-time work directive, which guarantees the same employment conditions for part-time workers and full-time workers. Today I, along with fellow MEPs, urge the Commission to provide evidence of how it will enforce these rules to give those in precarious work the fundamental rights that are being denied to them.
"As women are more likely to work part-time or on time-limited or low-wage contracts, I also called on the Commission and Member States to assess the legislation concerning precarious work for its gender impact. Otherwise, we risk slowing down the progress in combating and eliminating the gender pay and pension gap." | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUefLxK7IDBOV4s73S | All mammalian cells rely on adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to maintain function and for survival. The heart has the highest basal ATP demand of any organ due to the necessity for continuous contraction. As such, the ability of the cardiomyocyte to monitor cellular energy status and adapt the supply of substrates to match the energy demand is crucial. However, despite having basal energy demands exceeding those of any other organ in the body, cardiomyocytes do not possess large reserves of substrates required to form high-energy. As such, the heart must rely on exogenous substrate supply to be transported into the cardiomyocytes in order to be catabolized and to produce ATP. Because of this, continuous transport of substrates such as fatty acids (FAs), glucose, and lactate into the cardiomyocytes is a key component of cardiac energy metabolism. During normal physiological conditions, this production of ATP is met almost entirely (>95%) through oxidative phosphorylation. Specifically, FA oxidation is responsible for the generation of 50–70% of ATP in a normal adult heart while only 20–30% of the energy provided is derived from glucose and less than 5% from other sources. Herein, we review the involvement of myocardial FA uptake and subsequent utilization as it relates to cardiac function in physiologic and pathophysiologic processes. Specifically, we examine the cardiomyocyte-specific role of CD36, a FA transport protein, during ischemia-reperfusion injury. Utilizing an inducible cardiomyocyte-specific CD36 ablation mouse model, we provide genetic evidence that reduced FA oxidation as a result of diminished CD36-mediated FA uptake improves post-ischemic cardiac efficiency and functional recovery. As such, targeting cardiomyocyte FA uptake and FA oxidation via inhibition of CD36 in the adult myocardium may provide therapeutic benefit during ischemia-reperfusion. Furthermore, we examine the cardiomyocyte-specific role of adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) overexpression during doxorubicin induced cardiac dysfunction. Our data suggest that chronic reduction in myocardial triacylglycerol (TAG) content by cardiomyocyte-specific ATGL over-expression is able to prevent doxorubicin-induced cardiac dysfunction. We also examine the role of AMPK inhibitory phosphorylation of acetyl CoA carboxylase during high workload and ischemia-reperfusion injury. Our findings challenge the previously suggested role of AMPK-mediated ACC phosphorylation and inactivation as having a major role in the regulation of substrate metabolism and function in healthy and stressed myocardium. As well, since diabetes is one of the pathophysiologic processes known to cause alterations in FA metabolism in the myocardium, we further examined the effects of glucose-lowering medication on early outcomes of patients that had and acute coronary syndrome event. The work presented also emphasizes areas that require further investigation for the purpose of eventually translating this information into improved patient care. | c4 | 5 | 5 | 5 | 5 |

BkiUfFk5qhLBoPwGqtT6 | A brief description of how Cassandra stores and distributes indexes.
Understand how Cassandra writes and stores data.
Cassandra processes data at several stages on the write path. Compaction to maintain healthy SSTables is the last step in the write path process.
A brief description of how Cassandra updates data.
How Cassandra deletes data and why deleted data can reappear.
How Cassandra combines results from the active memtable and potentially multiple SSTables to satisfy a read.
Secondary indexes are used to filter a table for data stored in non-primary key columns. For example, a table storing cyclist names and ages using the last name of the cyclist as the primary key might have a secondary index on the age to allow queries by age. Querying to match a non-primary key column is an anti-pattern, as querying should always result in a continuous slice of data retrieved from the table.
If the table rows are stored based on last names, the table may be spread across several partitions stored on different nodes. Queries based on a particular range of last names, such as all cyclists with the last name Matthews will retrieve sequential rows from the table, but a query based on the age, such as all cyclists who are 28, will require all nodes to be queried for a value. Non-primary keys play no role in ordering the data in storage, thus querying for a particular value of a non-primary key column results in scanning all partitions. Scanning all partitions generally results in a prohibitive read latency, and is not allowed.
Secondary indexes can be built for a column in a table. These indexes are stored locally on each node in a hidden table and built in a background process. If a secondary index is used in a query that is not restricted to a particular partition key, the query will have prohibitive read latency because all nodes will be queried. A query with these parameters is only allowed if the query option ALLOW FILTERING is used. This option is not appropriate for production environments. If a query includes both a partition key condition and a secondary index column condition, the query will be successful because the query can be directed to a single node partition.
This technique, however, does not guarantee trouble-free indexing, so know when and when not to use an index. In the example shown above, an index on the age could be used, but a better solution is to create a materialized view or additional table that is ordered by age.
As with relational databases, keeping indexes up to date uses processing time and resources, so unnecessary indexes should be avoided. When a column is updated, the index is updated as well. If the old column value still exists in the memtable, which typically occurs when updating a small set of rows repeatedly, Cassandra removes the corresponding obsolete index entry; otherwise, the old entry remains to be purged by compaction. If a read sees a stale index entry before compaction purges it, the reader thread invalidates it. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 4 |
BkiUbnzxaJiQn33wk63e | Fraser & Haas
Fiddles, wee and grande
Mar 12, 2019 | Event Reviews, Uncategorized | 0 |
Many musicians, perhaps especially ones with early immersion in traditional folk music, eventually decide if they will continue playing that music just as they received it or expand the boundaries of their tradition. Few have blended these options more gracefully than fiddler Alasdair Fraser.
Decades into a highly acclaimed career, Fraser still plays the centuries-old traditional dance tunes and airs of Scotland, and he's already been inducted into the Scottish Traditional Music Hall of Fame. But in his playing and composing, he has also ventured far beyond the borders of that music, incorporating modern fiddle techniques, improvisation, and, notably, the cello.
Young American cellist Natalie Haas has been touring and recording with Fraser since 2003. While her Celtic creds are impeccable (she's been studying and playing that music since she was a young child), she's also Juilliard-trained. She's likely as capable on Schubert sonatas as she is on Scottish strathspeys, and she employs a myriad of classical and modern cello techniques, from the bass-like plucked pizzicatos to percussive, damped chopping and guitar-like strumming. This allows their duo, the "wee fiddle" and the "fiddle grande," a remarkable range of rhythmic, melodic, and harmonic possibilities. Each can take the melody or supply a parallel harmony, a backing rhythm, or repeating ostinato or play long held lines against the tune. They can sound like a classical chamber ensemble, a rollicking dance band, or a drummer-less Hot Club swing jazz band–sometimes all in the same tune. When they were at the Ark five years ago, Fraser quipped, "This is our band; it's not the case that the other half of the string quartet didn't show up." But if you had closed your eyes, you might have thought they had.
Cellos are not commonly associated with traditional Scottish music, but they haven't always been strangers. "They were taken into captivity by Western orchestras," jokes Fraser, where they became serious and scholarly. "The cello in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries used to comprise the rhythm section in Scottish dance bands." Fraser's off-the-cuff observations, delivered in his droll Scottish burr, are another highlight of their shows.
Fraser and Haas return to the Ark on March 14 with a new recording. Ports of Call has their brilliant versions of some old Scottish tunes, striking originals, and tunes from Scandinavia, France, and Spain. On their last visit to the Ark, they signaled this new direction when they opened their second set with the loveliest version I've ever heard of Swedish guitarist Roger Tallroth's Josefin's Waltz.

BkiUbIY4eILhQAZVCl43 | Q: Best Technology to use to set up an audio file cache We have a client application that allows users to download full length 192Kb/s MP3 audio files. Because the files are stored externally to us as a business, we need to be able to:
1) Copy file from external location into a local Server cache
2) Copy that file to the client that requested it
Obviously further requests on the same file would come from the cache and would not need to go external.
Now, we already have a current system that does this (using a Squid Cache), but the problem is that 2 only executes once 1 is fully complete. This means that if a 10min long 192kb/s track takes 75 seconds to be copied from an external location into the cache, the client's HTTP timeout kicks in at about 60 seconds! This does not fulfil our requirements.
It seems that what we need is a cache that can transfer out to a client WHILE it is getting data from an external location. And my questions are:
1) Can this be done with a Squid Cache (this is the legacy incumbent and not my choice)?
2) If not, what technology would be the most suited for this kind of scenario (cost is not really an issue)?
Please let me know if this isn't clear in any way!

BkiUfqK6NNjgB0Ss4gHe | Summer Research Grant Recipients Visit the WLA
Researcher Jillian Plummer working in the WLA Reading Room.
The WLA had a busy summer with visits from our two summer research grant recipients. We have enjoyed sharing our collections with these two scholars and are proud to be a part of each of their impressive research projects.
Jillian Plummer, a Ph.D. student at the University of Notre Dame, spent the first week in August immersed in the archives. Her research at the WLA was guided by the following question: how did Catholic nuns turn out to be one of the few visibly active legacies of the 1960s New Left today? Her future dissertation project aims to answer this question by tracing the growth of American sisters' religiously-inspired peace and justice activism against U.S. foreign policy in Central America and for anti-nuclear and disarmament campaigns. At the WLA archives, she examined collections on female activism in the late twentieth century, including the collections of Mary Agnes Curran, Marjorie Tuite, O.P, the 8th Day Center for Justice, Chicago Catholic Women, Mundelein College, and Ann Ida Gannon.
Our other wonderful grant recipient, Suzanne Bost, visited the archives many times throughout the summer. Suzanne is a Professor in the Department of English and the Graduate Program Director for Women's Studies and Gender Studies at Loyola University Chicago. The collections at the WLA aided her in analyzing the ways in which women religious write about their social justice work with Latina/o communities. Her readings of collections like the 8th Day Center for Social Justice, the Instituto Hispano, Carol Frances Jegen, Mary Agnes Curran, and the Nuevo Mundo School focused on the reciprocity, identification, and affection established between the primarily white social justice workers and the Latinas they worked to serve. | commoncrawl | 5 | 3 | 5 | 2 |

Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra specs leak points to a mighty powerful (and pricey) handset
By Stephen Lambrechts 2020-01-14T02:41:19Z
Could the upcoming flagship be too beastly for its own good?
Earlier today, a leak suggested that all Samsung Galaxy S11 (or S20) devices will boast 12GB of RAM, including the range's entry-level handset.
Of course, we've also heard rumors that the South Korean electronics giant is saving its biggest advancements this year for the Samsung Galaxy S20 Ultra – a new uber-flagship that's expected to be a marked step-up from the Galaxy S20 Plus in terms of camera and hardware.
Samsung CEO may have just said the Galaxy S11 is the Galaxy S20
Don't expect the Samsung Galaxy S11 to be all that easy to repair
Samsung Galaxy S11 will likely get 120Hz display option
Now, we might have a good idea of what we can expect of both, with Max Weinbach of XDA Developers following his real-world images leak from yesterday by tweeting an alleged list of Galaxy S20 Ultra specs, suggesting a handset that's almost too beastly for any mere mortal to make good use of.
The S20 Ultra 5G is going to keep the SD Card slot. Support for up to 1TB. It will also be available in 128GB/256GB/512GB and have a 12GB and 16GB RAM option. 108MP main, 48MP 10x optical, 12MP ultra wide. 5000 mAh battery with 45W option fast charge. 0 to 100% in 74 min.January 13, 2020
According to Weinbach, the Galaxy S20 Ultra will offer a version with 16GB of RAM alongside the standard 12GB model, along with 128GB, 256GB and 512GB internal storage options.
Interestingly, the post makes a point of noting that the handset will sport a microSD card slot with support for up to 1TB, suggesting that all S20 models below the S20 Ultra will drop expandable storage entirely.
As for the device's camera, Weinbach claims the Galaxy S20 Ultra will boast a staggering 108MP main sensor, complemented by a 48MP sensor with 10x optical zoom, and a 12MP ultra-wide lens. We imagine the fourth sensor in the device's reported quad camera package will be of the time-of-flight (ToF) variety.
Additionally, users can expect fantastic battery life from the device, with the list noting a 5,000mAh battery (Samsung's biggest to date) with 45W fast charging capability (0-100% charge in 74 minutes, according to Weinbach).
Too much of a good thing?
While we'd certainly be very happy if the list above proves to be accurate, we have to wonder if many of those specs could be considered overkill on Samsung's part – it's hard to imagine a real-world situation where 16GB of RAM on a handset would be necessary, and will people really be taking billboard-sized photos from their smartphone?
That said, those storage options sound fantastic, and it's hard to argue with a massive battery and super-fast charging. Our only real concern is that with great power comes an even greater price tag – while there's no word on official pricing yet, we have to imagine a handset with those specs will be quite expensive indeed.
Of course, we're still in the realm of rumor at this stage, so take everything you read above with a pinch of salt. We'll get more concrete details when Samsung launches its new flagship phone range at its upcoming Unpacked event on February 11.
Samsung Galaxy S11 will almost certainly be powered by this 5G chip

The Mike Varney-created label is widely considered to be the preeminent home for experimental and shred guitar players and released Thal's 1995 debut solo album, "The Adventures Of Bumblefoot" and 1997 follow-up, "Hermit". Thal launched his own label, Hermit Inc., in late 1997 so he could license his albums on his own.
Thal joined GUNS N' ROSES in 2006, replacing Buckethead. He played with the band for eight years and performed on "Chinese Democracy". He has also released nine full-length solo albums over the past 23 years, most recently 2015's "Little Brother Is Watching", which was reissued on CD and vinyl in August 2017 by MEGADETH bassist David Ellefson's EMP Label Group.
SONS OF APOLLO will record its sophomore album in January, but due to the busy schedules of the group's individual members, the record is not expected to be released until 2020.

What is Norovirus?
Norovirus is also known as the "vomiting bug" and is a common illness that can cause both vomiting and diarrhoea.
Although it can be very unpleasant, it should only last for a couple of days before it clears.
The hospital reminded people not to attend Mid Essex Hospital Services NHS Trust, their GP surgery or care homes if they have experienced diarrhoea and/or vomiting.
They urged people to stay at home until 48 hours after symptoms were clear.
It is currently unknown when the hospital will re-open its wards.
Keep up to date with the latest from Broomfield Hospital on our live blog:
All wards remain closed
There has been no update from the hospital as of yet. All wards remain closed because of yesterday's norovirus outbreak.
What are the main ways to prevent norovirus spreading?
As norovirus is highly contagious, the key ways of stopping the virus spreading centre on:
Effective hand washing
Isolation or exclusion of the infected individual (e.g. from school or work)
Effective cleaning and disinfection of environmental surfaces (e.g. bathrooms and toilets)
Effective hand washing is a key measure. Hands should be washed at all appropriate times, such as before eating and preparing food, and after using the toilet or helping others (e.g. changing nappies). | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Guide to Finding the Best Elk Studios Pokies 2021
When it comes to modern, innovative and, importantly, mobile pokies, Elk Studios is one of the leading lights in the industry. Since forming in 2013, this developer has used a combination of artistic flair and mathematical modelling to create games that jive perfectly with today's tastes and trends. When you visit any Elk Studios slots sites in 2021, you'll find a selection of games that don't only offer fantastic jackpots and bonuses, but also contain features that make your gaming experience the best it can be.
As you'd expect, this unique approach has made this developer the talk of the town and as a result, operators from all sides of the industry have fought to get Elk Studios games added to their lobbies. Unsurprisingly, this has resulted in more Elk Studios casinos than you can shake a stick at entering the market in recent months. Of course, choice is a good thing, but when you're a newbie and unsure which Elk Studios casino sites are worth joining and which ones aren't, things can get a little dicey. This is where we come in.
Using our industry experience, we've picked through the options and listed the best ones on our site. On top of this, we've compiled a guide to Elk Studios pokies and all they have to offer. In short, if you're a New Zealand casino player and want to know more about Elk Studios, what it offers and which games you should be playing, this guide is for you. After reading this, we're pretty confident you'll be able to go off and enjoy the very best of what this developer has to offer!
About Elk Studios
Elk Studios takes a multifaceted approach to casino gaming and, moreover, it employs a design strategy that few others do. From its base in Sweden, this 'mobile first' developer, like its peers, has made the art a priority. However, what it does a little differently to most is that it also takes a 'mathematical' approach to designing slots. In practical terms, this means Elk Studios uses techniques such as statistical modelling, big data and cloud computing to create games that people really want to play. Instead of relying on what "feels" right, the developers at Elk Studios actually study the facts and use them to make games that satisfy the desires of the masses. Essentially, when you play Elk Studios' pokies, you can be sure that each game is as technically sound as it is visually appealing.
Types of Elk Studios Pokies
Like all leading slot developers, Elk Studios has worked hard to cover as many genres as possible. Thanks to its data-driven approach to iGaming, the company now offers a range of pokie types that are designed to appeal to players of all persuasions. The most important thing to note is that Elk Studios is a mobile-first developer. This doesn't mean you can't take a spin via your desktop, but what it does mean is that each pokie has been designed to work with all mobile devices. Because of this, Elk Studios' video pokies incorporate features such as swipe-to-spin and touch capabilities and that's certainly a huge plus point. Although the studio doesn't currently offer jackpot pokies, classic slots or 3D pokies, its suite of games is constantly expanding. This means that each time you visit one of our recommended Elk Studios slot sites, you can expect to see more betting options and ways to win.
How Safe are Elk Studios Pokies?
Like every established slots developer, Elk Studios is safe and secure not because we say so, because regulators and third-party agencies say so. When you join one of our Elk Studios casino sites, each game will be overseen and regulated by a licensing body such as the UK Gambling Commission. These commissions are there to ensure that each casino and therefore its games are fair. One of the ways these commissions know that an Elk Studios pokie like Sam on the Beach is fair is because an independent agency called eCOGRA has tested it. Behind each Elk Studios pokie is a random number generator (RNG) and eCOGRA will have assessed the software and certified it as fair. In simple terms, each time you play an Elk Studios pokie, you'll be able to enjoy a fair, safe and secure experience not because we say so (even though we do), but because multiple independent parties do.
Top Rated Elk Studios Pokies 2021
Elk Studios is a relatively new player in the game and that means its list of online pokies is still growing. Compared to other software studios, Elk Studios doesn't have the largest selection of slots in the business. However, the gap between Elk and others is gradually closing as the team in Sweden continue to put out new products. Regardless of the number of pokie games Elk Studios currently offers, the ones you can play are extremely high quality. Despite its relative size in comparison to many of the other top-rated developers, Elk Studios has produced some of biggest and best casino pokies of the last few years. In fact, in 2021, you'll be able to play some of the best spinners in the business when you join one of our New Zealand facing online casinos. Elk Studios' best slots include:
Comparing Elk Studios vs. Other Online Game Providers
As we've said, Elk Studios is a mobile-first platform and that instantly gives it advantages over the likes of Playtech, NetEnt and NextGen, which are primarily focused on desktop games first. That's not to say Betsoft and IGT don't offer mobile-styled slots, it just means that Elk Studios makes its mobile products a priority. In practical terms, this software provider and its pokies offer slick features such as touch controls and optimised animations that allow you to enjoy a fully engaging experience on any device.
Regardless of how large or small the screen you're rocking is, every Elk Studios pokie will work perfectly. In addition to the developer being better for mobile pokies than its peers, Elk Studios' data-driven approach is also one of its biggest advantages. As we noted earlier, by focusing on statistics and hard data, Elk Studios is able to truly understand what players want and respond in kind. Instead of going with what people assume to be 'fashionable', this slots developer actually identifies real trends and uses them to shape its products.
Newest Elk Studios Pokie Games 2021
When it comes to development and innovation, Elk Studios is always looking to add new games to its roster. Taking inspiration from UK players, European players and anyone that enjoys spinning online, this studio is always on top of the latest trends in a bid to create pokies that people really want to play. In 2021, Elk Studios released the latest incarnation of its 'Sam' series alongside a selection of slots that helped us make the transition from 2016 to now. The newest Elk Studios slots include:
Elk Studios Pokies with Progressive Jackpots
At this stage in the game, Elk Studios doesn't offer any progressive jackpot pokies. Because of its current focus on video-based spinners, progressive jackpot pokies haven't been high on its agenda. Now, this doesn't mean it won't ever progress into the progressive slots arena. In fact, given that it uses data to drive its developments, it's highly likely there will be some games of this type in the future.
Almost every online slots player loves to be part of a progressive jackpot network because it means they get a chance to win more for less. Elk Studios knows this and, as we've said numerous times already, it's always looking to stay in touch with the latest trends. So, with this in mind, you shouldn't be surprised if the next time you visit one of our Elk Studios pokie sites that it has a shiny new jackpot game just waiting for you to ante-up.

BkiUdUbxaJiQnhPtn00Z | Tom Brady turns Android Wear watch face designer for TAG Heuer
By Andy Boxall January 8, 2016
TAG Heuer has announced a trio of exclusive new watch faces for its Carrera Connected smartwatch, created by sports stars and TAG Heuer spokesmen Tom Brady, Giancarlo Stanton, and Jeremy Lin. Apparently, all three had a considerable hand in designing the looks, and the results are very different from the classic faces TAG Heuer pre-installs on the Carrera Connected.
Tom Brady has opted for a simple face with a large number 12 and smaller 3 o'clock, 6 o'clock, and 9 o'clock indicators, plus a single red, white, and dark blue strip running down the right-hand side of the face. He has also decided to add his own name to the watch face. According to TAG Heuer, he's pretty excited about the release, and has been constantly in contact with the company, asking when he'll get his own.
Giancarlo Stanton's custom watch face also bears his name, this time in signature form at the base of the display, and underneath a large number 27 that dominates the display. The grey, black, and white color scheme is very cool, and looked great on the Carrera Connected. Finally, Jeremy Lin's watch face is probably the most extravagant. The bold face combines a dragon emblem, a Chinese character, intricate hands, and striking red, black, and silver colors.
TAG Heuer will release all three faces on January 20, and it's expected they'll remain exclusives for owners of the expensive Carrera Connected watch. Priced at $1,500, it has sold surprisingly well, with pre-ordered stock selling out in most locations prior to release. TAG Heuer itself was equally taken aback by the response, and has since increased production and talked about producing different versions in the future.
The watchmaker has a long list of high profile ambassadors, and although quizzed about future collaborations — we'd quite like to see a Jenson Button watch face, for example — there has been no confirmation of others to come, but we'd be surprised if efforts ended with these three names.

BkiUfRw25V5jgmwVpHLp | Remembering the Amarillo Police Officers We Lost Last Year
Lori Crofford Published: May 19, 2022
Lori Crofford/TSM Amarillo
This week is National Police Week so if you happen to see a police officer, make sure you thank them.
Police officers have a hard job, they put their lives on the line daily to keep our communities safe. They have family and friends, yet they would give their life to save a stranger.
Did you know that Amarillo has lost 16 officers in the line of duty? The number is 17 if you include the K9 officer that passed in the line of duty.
In the last year, we have lost 3 APD Officers while in the line of duty.
Corporal Mike Sanchez - End of Watch December 27, 2021
Cpl. Sanchez contracted COVID-19 in the line of duty and due to complications from COVID he died. He served on the APD for 16 years. At the time of his death Cpl. Sanchez was serving as an expert Traffic Crash Investigator. Cpl. Sanchez was married and had 5 children.
Recently Chief Birkenfeld released a statement to the citizens of Amarillo stating that if you are caught street racing you would lose your car. Cpl. Sanchez helped in taking down one of the persons who was involved in street racing in Amarillo. You can read more about this story here.
Sergeant Michael Dunn - End of Watch October 22, 2021
Sgt. Dunn contracted COVID-19 in the line of duty and passed due to complications. He served the Amarillo Police Department for 21 years. At the time of his death, he was a Detective with the Homicide Unit. He was also a U.S. Marine Corps Veteran. Sgt. Dunn was married with four children.

While remembering our fallen officers, it is put into perspective the toll COVID-19 took on our community. Police Officers were essential workers during the pandemic. Not only did they put their life on the line for the community, but they also put their health on the line during this crazy era in history. These officers made an impact on our community and are greatly missed.

Amarillo On America's Most Wanted
I was surprised to find out recently that we also have a bit of a history with the show America's Most Wanted.
Digging through old news articles, I found several separate occasions where Amarillo and America's Most Wanted crossed paths. It makes me wonder if there are some that I've missed.

BkiUfp7xK6-gDz87SUPu | A healthy competitive advantage for UA, Banner
$1 billion agreement levels the playing field for academic medicine
University of Arizona Online
Published 3:14 p.m. MT Oct. 26, 2016 | Updated 1:44 p.m. MT Sept. 29, 2017
A revolutionary $1 billion agreement between the University of Arizona and Banner Health is changing the playing field for academic medicine.
"No other public/private health care integration is nearly as comprehensive as this agreement," said Dr. Joe G.N. "Skip" Garcia, UA senior vice president for health sciences, the Dr. Merlin K. DuVal Professor of Medicine and an elected member of the National Academy of Medicine.
"We have lists of shared goals in mind, but ultimately we are working toward improved treatments and outcomes for patients."
Since signing an academic affiliation agreement on Feb. 28, 2015, the UA Health Sciences and Banner have earned exclusive new research grants, renewed a significant accreditation, improved health care protocols and started construction on new facilities.
The largest NIH peer-reviewed grant in Arizona history was awarded this summer to UAHS and Banner. It aims to enroll 1 million or more U.S. participants to improve individualized prevention measures and treatment of disease. A few weeks later, the UA Cancer Center earned renewed designation from the National Cancer Institute as a Comprehensive Cancer Center, which included a $17.6 million grant. The UA Cancer Center is one of only 45 NCI-designated comprehensive cancer centers in the country — and the only one with headquarters in Arizona.
"Each of these events is creating an environment for more comprehensive research, greater collaboration and a better system of health care," said Kathy Bollinger, executive vice president, Banner – University Medicine. "It has been a tremendous amount of work to forge a new path of truly integrated academic medicine, but it is beginning to pay dividends."
The investments by Banner are influencing patients, research activity and facilities shared by UAHS and Banner. In Phoenix, Banner is spending nearly $450 million on improvements to Banner – University Medical Center Phoenix, the former Good Samaritan Medical Center, which includes a new emergency department and a new patient tower, in addition to new clinical facilities nearby. In Tucson, Banner is investing nearly $500 million for a new patient tower, which will replace the original hospital building at Banner – University Medical Center, and for a new Banner Health Center that will house integrative outpatient clinics for adults.
"This agreement between Banner Health and UAHS is about forming healthier communities," Garcia said, "and allowing the citizens of Arizona to become partners in their own health."

BkiUeizxK7FjYEB4WrLu | Hmm, I Wonder Why Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump Moved Their Personal Emails to the Trump Org
As criticism was mounting on President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner—as well as several other White House officials including his wife, Ivanka Trump—for using personal email addresses in the course of their official duties, the couple was busy moving the emails to a Trump Org. server.
According to USA Today, Kushner and Trump "re-routed their personal email accounts to computers run by the Trump Organization" sometime between September 26-27th. Mere days later on September 28th, the Senate Intelligence Committee delivered Kushner a letter demanding he fully disclose any emails in the account related to ongoing investigation of alleged links between the Trump campaign and Russia.
Per USA Today:
The internet domain Kushner used for his personal emails was first registered in December. In March, mail exchange records for Kushner and Trump's family email domain, ijkfamily.com, directed messages to an email system run by Microsoft. The registration was updated at the end of September. Now it points to two mail servers used by the Trump Organization.
According to Ars Technica, University of Pennsylvania computer science expert Matt Blaze confirmed there was no possibility the Trump Org. was simply providing a DNS server to ijkfamily.com to offset hackers.
A spokesman for the couple told USA Today the emails are not hosted on the Trump Org. server, but that they instead use a "filtering service" to prevent malware from reaching their inboxes. However, the spokesman "spoke only on condition of anonymity because they were not directly involved with the technical details."
The decision to re-route the emails to a Trump Org. server is concerning, seeing as that's the same ethically-conflicted business entity managed by the president's two older sons, Eric and Donald Trump Jr. President Trump never divested from his holdings, and even if he had, continued management of the organization by family members raises massive conflicts of interest he shows little interest in redressing.
Former federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti told USA Today the move "certainly creates the appearance of potential impropriety," as it opens the possibility someone at the organization has access to the accounts.
The last-minute switch also opens the possibility the couple moved the emails to the Trump Org. in order to have someone trusted remove messages from the account. Such a move would doubtlessly attract the attention of the various federal investigators working on the alleged Trump-Russia ties, like Robert Mueller, the Department of Justice special counsel who has been issuing numerous subpoenas—including to Kushner's family businesses.
"It looks like they were trying to keep the email from Mueller, Congress or both," Richard Painter, former George W. Bush ethics czar and vice-chairman of Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, told Gizmodo via email.
"A cardinal rule—once it is known that email is likely to be sought by investigators don't touch it unless you want to be charged with obstruction of justice."
The president, of course, has continued to hint he might direct the DOJ to prosecute 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton for her own extensive use of a private email server while serving as secretary of state.

Are these the same Trump Org servers that were allegedly replicating SQL databases with Alfa Bank in Russia and Spectrum Health (owned by the DeVos family)? What a funny shoehorn Jared has handed Mueller to justify a look around. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUfBo5qhLBtiOLceaS | Wednesday, 05 February 2020 / Published in Bowling, Bowling Feature
For Pride And Standing…Versailles Pulls MAC Surprise
It's a year before bowling becomes an official MAC sport, but the boys tournament Thursday was every bit as competitive, regardless of issues of recognition.
New Bremen – They have this little get together during the first week of February called the MAC bowling tournament. It's mostly for fun (for now), but there's a of pride involved, as well, as schools bowl for official, 'unofficial' standing for recognition after three months of league bowling.
After all, it's rare to find a participant on any of the eight teams that actually play football and basketball, the more publicized MAC sports, but like the other MAC sports, the kids that do take it just as seriously.
Eight MAC schools had teams this year – New Bremen, Coldwater, Fort Recovery, St. Henry, Versailles, Marion Local, Parkway, and Minster – all vying for competitive bragging rights in Tuesday's head-to-head matches.
Coldwater's Michael Schoenherr, who topped the WOHSBC website statistics for high individual average for the season, approached Thursday afternoon's bowl-off at New Bremen's Speedway Lanes with the same anticipation as the Cavaliers' football team does on the eve of the football playoffs.
"It's exciting, because you want to do as well as you can," said Schoenherr, who will bowl at University of Northern Ohio next fall. "And this is good practice for the sectional and district tournament that's coming up. As a team we'd like to get to state."
And does the fact of being 'unofficial' detract from any of it?
"Not really, except if this was next year there would be an all-league team to shoot for, and all-league academic honors…things like that. That would be cool."
Speedway Lanes, in New Bremen, is proud to support bowling on Press Pros Magazine.com.
Schoenherr topped the Western Ohio High School Bowling Conference stats this winter with a 215 average, just four pins ahead of New Bremen's Spencer Alig (211), and Alig's younger brother, Nick (204), who recently bowled a 290, his all-time individual high.
All kinds of styles…bowling will be an 'official' MAC sport for the 2020-21 school year.
But in the 'unofficial' MAC standings, New Bremen, as a team, finished the regular season undefeated, and two games ahead of second place Coldwater.
"It's nice to bowl well individually," said Spencer Alig, Tuesday. "But I'm more concerned about how we do as a team. I'm happier we finished first in the league."
Speedway Lanes were angry on Tuesday, like an old man trying to send back a bowl of soup in a deli…quoting George Costanza (Seinfeld). Scoring came tough. Bowling is not without its surprises, and as it turned out neither Schoenherr (398 series) or Alig (342) had their best day on Tuesday. That distinction landed on Versailles sophomore Jay Mumaw, who rolled games of 228 and 253 (481) in the individual rounds, sparking the Tigers to a semi-final round of match play against New Bremen.
Then Versailles surprised New Bremen, winning 3-2 in the five-game roll-off, qualifying to bowl against favored Coldwater, who had eliminated Parkway in the same round, 3 games to none.
Jay Mumaw captured high individual honors Thursday with a 481 series.
Mumaw is no stranger to pressure and performance, having rolled 17 consecutive strikes in his freshman season (289); and bowling, like other sports, is a momentum sport. He and his Tiger teammates – Sam Bensman, Derek Morris, Justin Heitkamp, Jordan Cordonnier, Landon Henry, Tyler Gehret, and Matt Henry – carried their momentum into the finals of 'Baker' play against Coldwater, dropping their first game to the favored Cavaliers by 44 pins (210-166). Then, they swept the next three in a best-of-five to win tournament honors, 3 games to 1.
Speedway Lanes were packed to the rafters to watch it, and the excitement of Versailles' comeback was no less than what you'd witness in Canton (for football) or Columbus (for basketball). And Jay Mumaw…just flashed a sheepish smile over his strong bowling, like Schoenherr and Alig, was more pleased with the accomplishment of his team than anything he did personally.
More MAC tourney bowling follows this weekend as the girls tee it up on Saturday, again at Speedway Lanes. Qualifying begins @ 10 am, with match play starting around 1 pm in the afternoon. The bowling's good, and there's no better food around. We suggest one of the 'burgers' from the snack bar. You won't go home hungry!
New Bremen's Spencer finished second in WOHSBC individual average with 211.4.

BkiUdJ44uBhi43uX5q6d | Ethics, deception, and 'those milgram experiments'
Chris Herrera
Critics who allege that deception in psychology experiments is unjustified frequently cite Stanley Milgram's 'obedience experiments' as evidence. These critics say that arguments for justification tend to downplay the risks involved and overstate the benefits from such research. Milgram, they add, committed both sins. Critics are right to point out that research oversight is often susceptible to self-serving abuse. But stating a priori how beneficial a given experiment will be is a tall order for psychologists, or anyone else. At the same time, critics themselves have difficulty in showing what is wrong with deception, and how subjects in these experiments suffer. Hence, it becomes unclear what the psychologists, including Milgram, are prone to downplay. There is also room to wonder how the Milgram studies can illuminate the debate over deception. Although Milgram probably exaggerated the scientific significance of his own work, critics who exaggerate its moral and historical significance do little to clarify the status of deception.

New poultry litter rules a 'massive boost'
The UK poultry industry has a chance to become more sustainable – both economically and environmentally - thanks to new European laws which will allow them to make use of chicken litter for on-farm energy, the NFU said today.
From July 15, all poultry farmers across the EU will be allowed to combust poultry litter on-farm to create energy. The issue has been the subject of sustained NFU lobbying over several years.
NFU poultry board chairman Duncan Priestner said: "This represents a massive, positive development for the poultry industry, an industry which embraces new technology and is keen to make use of on-farm by-products, both to the benefit of business and the environment, by relying less on traditional energy sources.
"There are also a number of other benefits, including healthier birds, minimised biosecurity risks and opportunities to use nutrient-rich ash on farmland.
"Our poultry farmers will be able to take advantage of these opportunities, and we are working closely with government to ensure it keeps regulatory burden to a minimum, costs down, re-enforces its commitment to supporting renewable energy and sustainable food production and that systems are in place to approve combustion plants as soon as possible."

NFU, Defra, EA and AHVLA staff during a site visit to Nigel and Patrick Joice's farm.
NFU member and Norfolk-based poultry farmers Nigel and Patrick Joice, who produce 5.8million birds per year, have been trialling the system since 2012.
Their two 500kw biomass burners have managed to produce up to 93 per cent of the farm's heat requirements and this research has helped to shape legislation.
The changes are part of the Animal By-Product Implementing Regulations, which allow on-farm combustion of poultry litter for fuel, which have now been published in the European Union's Official Journal. Read more here. | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUbfc5qsFAftmvNQTE | German Cannibal
December 1st 1961, Armin Meiwes was born in Essen Germany. He had a quiet childhood until he turned 8 years old. His father, Dieter Meiwes, had walked out on the family. Dieter Meiwes was a police officer who had worked to save enough to buy the family a 36 room home that was 16,000 feet, a mansion in Wustefeld, Germany. The marriage between his mother and father was doomed from the start as he married her when she was 21 and he was 20 years her senior at 40 years old. The birth of Armin was said to be a means of manipulating Dieter to stay with his young wife Waltraud, as she was extremely possessive of her husband. Accusing him of having affairs and making threats to him, Dieter was extremely unhappy in the marriage and ultimately walked out on his family. Meiwes retreated inside and was very much an introvert, though he did long to have friends. Suffering from severe abandonment issues, he would read the story tale, "Hansel and Gretel" and find the cannibal witch quite fascinating.To ease his loneliness, Meiwes created an imaginary brother, whom he called "Frank". To Frank, he would share his thoughts and desires. As he came into his adolescent years, he began to day dream about eating people, friends if he had any, this way they would be a part of him.His very domineering mother made it hard to make friends. He often spent his time dismembering barbie dolls and fantasizing sexually about women and men. By the time Meiwes reached 19, he had enlisted in the army. On January 1st 1981, he began his military career. He was successful in his military career, rising in positions quickly, but was still not very social. Still struggling with his inability to make friends or communicate well, he began drinking heavily. This led to the end of his military career, he was released from the military in 1992. Meiwes's mother passed away and he remained in the family home, which was now in shambles. Now alone, he worked as a computer repair technician by day and joined cannibalism chat rooms. Sometime after he began using the cannibalistic chat rooms, he decided it was time to act on his desires to eat human flesh. In his family home, he created a room that he could perform the acts needed to obtain human flesh. A bed, ropes, gallon size buckets were all present, he simply needed a victim. In 1999, one year after his mother's death, he posted an advertisement, using the name Franky. The ad stated he was seeking a well built man who wanted to be slaughtered and eaten. Shockingly, he received many responses, though none of the individuals could follow through with the act. It is to be said, Meiwes did not force anyone to respond or become a victim. Bernd BrandesIn March of 2001, Bernd Brandes, an engineer who resided in Berlin answered the ad. Bisexual and had a desire for sexual mutilation, he contacted Meiwes and the two planned a date and time to meet at Meiwes's house.The two planned to meet on March 9th, 2001 at Meiwes's mansion. Setting up a camera to record their activities, they planned for Brandes to consume at least 20 sleeping pills and a bottle of cough syrup, this slowed his breathing severely. Meiwes went on to amputate Brande's penis and eat it. Attempting to have Brandes eat it as well, but due to the sleeping pills and cough syrup, Brandes was unable to. Meiwes bathed Brandes and prayed over him before killing him. Stabbing him in the throat he bled out in the tub. Brandes body was hung by meat hooks in preparation for dismemberment. Cutting Brandes body and storing it for a period of about 10 months, slowly eating it over time. A new ad for a new victim was posted by Meiwes in December 2002. Seeking another victim to slaughter and eat. A student came across the ad and reported it to authorities. Investigators found Meiwes to be the user that posted the ad and searched his home, finding the recording of Brandes murder as well as several severed body parts. Armin Meiwes was arrested, and formally charged with manslaughter and sentenced to 8 years in prison on January 30th 2004. Armin Meiwes admitted his guilt and did discuss regrets for what he had done to Brandes. In 2005 a court retried the case, citing that the crime was committed for the purposes of sexual gratification, carrying a longer sentence. A psychologist stated that Armin Meiwes was a danger to society during the retrial as he still had the desire to eat young peoples flesh. The second trial ended with the charge of murder and carried the sentence of life in prison.

BkiUdfc5qX_BxlWi8DrB | We all need a little inspiration at different seasons in our lives - to lift us up from routine, help us meet life's challenges and push us towards the things that truly matter.
Have you ever gone through an experience that makes you wonder if God still cares? Or, are you going through a situation that makes you want to hide away from God?
Here is a collection of quotes from a variety of influential Christians that inspire us and point us back to Christ. Enjoy these many different thoughts on the Christian life.
"We gain strength, and courage, and confidence by each experience in which we really stop to look fear in the face . . . we must do that which we think we cannot."
"Relying on God has to start all over everyday, as if nothing has yet been done."
This our journey is not a marathon. There are ups, downs, and unexpected turns. Though we may go back along a trail we have been travelling, the one thing we don't want in our Christian journey is to fall down and never get up. Don't give up. Get up. Press forward.
For the righteous falls seven times yet rises again . . . Proverbs 24:16.
I hope these quotesy bless you as much as they bless me. Happy weekend! | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUd2I4dbgheBXBRkG4 | Spielberg's West Side Story: An Integral Masterpiece
by Jeff Salzman | Dec 20, 2021 | Art, Entertainment, integral art
In his remake of West Side Story, master filmmaker Steven Spielberg demonstrates how to bring a classic work of art into the present. Integrating the 60-year old Broadway musical's cultural context into our own, his West Side Story expresses colliding worlds with deep sympathy and goodwill to all.
And the sheer cinematic transmission! From the iconic opening, with its call-and-response whistle echoing through the tenements of New York City, the film's every moment is lit with the sparkle of humanity. It exudes the passion of youth, the grittiness of street life, and the deep liquid space of the gang and family. What a joy to be in the hands of a great artist (and leader of great artists, as cinema is our most collaborative of art forms) at the height of his power.
West Side Story tells a tale of race, culture and class conflict with a flamboyantly American flavor. It is the story of star-crossed young lovers (inspired by Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet), ethnic warfare, and the relentless march of modernity. In Spielberg's hands, all of these conflicts are woven into a drama that is both particular and universal, and ultimately heartening. As Time Magazine's critic Stephanie Zacharek wrote: "I had no idea I needed this West Side Story until I saw it."
I hereby nominate this beautiful film for status as an integral work of art, and in this episode, I make my case. I hope you enjoy it and the movie too! – Jeff Salzman

BkiUazzxK6nrxpQczDLe | SC: Lapse of time between injuries and death doesn't reduce liability in murder case
New Delhi, Jan 26 (IANS) The Supreme Court has ruled that when a victim dies after a lapse of considerable time due to injuries inflicted by an accused, it would not diminish the liability of the perpetrator in a murder case.
By GyanhiGyan Desk | Thu, 26 Jan 2023
A bench comprising Justices Krishna Murari and S. Ravindra Bhat, said: "There can be no stereotypical assumption or formula that where death occurs after a lapse of some time, the injuries (which might have caused the death), the offence is one of culpable homicide. Every case has its unique fact situation. However, what is important is the nature of injury, and whether it is sufficient in the ordinary course to lead to death".
It further added that the adequacy or otherwise of medical attention is not a relevant factor in this case, because the doctor who conducted the post-mortem clearly deposed that death was caused due to cardio respiratory failures, as a result of the injuries inflicted upon the deceased.
"Thus, the injuries and the death were closely and directly linked."
During the hearing, the appellants' counsel had urged that the victim died 20 days after the attack, and the lapse of such a time shows that the injuries were not sufficient to cause death in the ordinary course of nature.
The bench noted that there were several judgments, which emphasize that such a lapse of time, would not per se constitute a determinative factor as to diminish the offender's liability from the offence of murder to that of culpable homicide, not amounting to murder.
The appellants moved the apex court challenging the Chhattisgarh High Court order,which confirmed their conviction for murder.
According to the police, the accused had attacked the deceased after he tried to level disputed land with a JCB in February 2012.
After the victim died, a criminal case was registered against the appellants by the victim's family.
The accused argued that the victim died after about twenty days from the alleged incident and due complications in surgery, therefore their alleged acts were not the cause of the death.
The top court noted that the question, then, is whether the appellants are guilty of the offence of murder, punishable under Section 302, or whether they are criminally liable under the less severe Section 304, IPC.
"This court sees no difficulty in accepting that firstly, the appellants were aggressors; secondly, they attacked the deceased, with axes; thirdly, the deceased was unarmed," said the bench.
It further added that the doctor who conducted the post-mortem, stated that the injuries were caused by a hard and blunt object, and death of the deceased was due to cardio respiratory failure "as a result of multiple injuries on his body and their complications".
The top court did not accept appellants contention that the death was caused unintentionally on account of a "sudden quarrel".
It said the appellants were armed with axes, which indicated their pre-mediated intent to harm the deceased.
"The testimonies of the two important eyewitnesses, establish that when the deceased was levelling the septic tank on his property, the accused/appellants started abusing him; he asked them not to. The appellants, who were in the adjacent property, climbed the wall, entered the deceased's house, and attacked him with axes," said the bench, upholding the high court order.

BkiUdYc5qhLACGfB1mlf | Hey all, hate to do this, but I think we're going to go down to 1 post a week for rest of September. Releasing on Mondays going forward. I'll also make a "notes" type chapter at the start where I'll put general updates. There's a lot of great feedback I'm incorporating on my next editing pass, I'm getting some beta readers involved, and trying to iron out some more kinks in the system before book 2 starts. I want to be in a much more solid place as the next part of the story gets underway, so thanks for helping us get this far and sorry it will take a little bit longer to get to the end. Please continue with the feedback in comments, reviews, and ratings, it's valuable and appreciated. Thanks!
Schedule: Release schedule is Mondays for now.
Mark wasn't very well rested. His sleep was disturbed constantly as he ran through practice runs in his head. Everything would seem like it was going well and then something awful would happen. His mind took him on fanciful journey to the implausible and ridiculous but he couldn't stop. In one scenario he walked in on a surprise party where everyone mistook him for the birthday boy. In other versions he forgot to bring clothing and was doing the mission naked. Every now and then a particularly vivid flash of the zombies Liz had spotted to the north came in and invaded right in the middle of their attempt. Those sucked the most, but all of them kept him from a good night's sleep.
Clear till 10% capacity availability. If unavailable, please update stabilization crystals for additional levels of capacity.
"Oh you just got to be kidding me!" Mark complained. Like he needed something else to worry about today. At least class B probably wasn't that bad, but the capacity thing worried him. He knew that the Green Mountain Jungle Zone didn't have that much room. GMJZ was a horrible acronym though. Maybe he should call it the Golden Jungle since the golden apes seemed to be the main creature there, also Golden Colorado was like, right there. Possibly the Golden Biome. Nah, it had to have jungle in there somewhere.
Now wasn't the time to worry about that though, since it was all probably going to blow up unless they did something. If nothing else, they could warn the school. Mark rushed out to see if anyone else was awake. Hopefully someone would have some insight into what was going on.
It turned out that most people were already out and about. Whether it was the latest system warning or the fact that today was the day they would attempt to contact people inside the school, everyone was already on edge. Mark asked if anyone had seen Liz, feeling guilty that he probably only knew half the people's names, but needing to talk to someone about what was going on.
It didn't take too long for Mark to realize that it was actually stupidly early, and Liz was probably still in bed. He sat down for a second to calm himself down. He had wasted a half hour rushing around pointlessly and he was pretty angry at himself for that. He plopped down on one of the new picnic tables that the camp had constructed and tried to order his thoughts. With so many things going on it was easy for him to forget about the bigger picture, and just focus on what was next, but he knew he had to be better. He had to try to get focused more. He had to be improve. His thoughts were interrupted with a large slap to his back.
"Hey son, you look down. What's up?" His dad said as he sat down next to him.
Mark laid out his recent thoughts and they came tumbling out of his mouth in one vomitous streak. He barely paused for breath as he laid out all his concerns and worries. At the end of it he took a deep shuddering breath and looked to his dad for some guidance. Honestly, he was feeling a little lost right now.
His dad didn't seem to be expecting quite the level of emotion that Mark just displayed and had a complicated expression on his face. Mark didn't quite know what to expect, but it certainly wasn't what happened next.
Mark was utterly confused. He didn't think that anything he said was funny. To him it was the opposite. His dad's treatment of his concern with laughter started to annoy him quite a bit.
"But what? There's like a million things I need to do and I can barely keep track of one." Mark said in a pained voice.
"I guess?" Mark was still unsure.
Mark passed the rest of the morning greeting everyone, and even remembering a few names here and there. The camp had settled into a routine, and he started to notice things he hadn't seen before. The laundry groups, the people getting furniture from nearby houses, the groups who processed the meat and tagged the cores. There was even a place that was processing a ton of leather. Mark had wondered what was happening with those experiments. Apparently one of the stay-at-home mom's had gotten an anti-smell ability, and that why Mark hadn't noticed any tanning going on. It was a strange ability, but walking into the area not protected by it he was suddenly very glad that she had managed to find a way to prevent the smell from spreading.
Seeing how everyone was pitching in, Mark's mind settled into a much more peaceful state. Sure, he was only focused on the thing in front of him, but as his dad said, he was really good at that. He couldn't make things not stink. He couldn't sew at all. Well, maybe a button, but that was only one time and it fell out the next day, but technically that meant he actually did know how to sew, but that wasn't the point. The point was that Mark had been so caught up in trying to be better, he didn't stop to notice how everyone else was contributing to share the load. He knew what he needed to do. He still needed to be better, but he just needed to be the best Mark he could be, and the community would shore up his weak points. Also, Liz would probably point out his weak points, because she was annoying like that. It wouldn't get him down though, because he knew the rest of the camp had his back.
By mid-morning Mark's mental state had turned around completely.
"No problem son, it's pretty much what I do. Remember, you are a huge part of all of this. Without you we wouldn't have gotten this far this fast. You just worry about being the best Mark you can be." His dad chuckled to himself.
Mark nodded and wandered off to find food in a much better mood and visions of a tree house city dancing through his head.
Liz's eyes attempted to fight the enormous pressure keeping them closed and slowly but surely she won. An eye half cracked open looked towards the offensive door. She called out asking who was knocking.
The thought of finally getting answers sent enough of a jolt to Liz's brain that both eyes were able to temporarily overcome the terrible downward force keeping them closed.
Liz oozed out of bed and lay on the floor for a moment. She would need to stand up, she supposed. She would just close her eyes for a moment to steel herself and then figure out whatever else she needed to.
"Liz? Are you awake? It's been like five minutes. Is everything ok?" Jocelyn's voice whispered fiercely again as she rapped her knuckles on the door.
She stumbled over herself in a rush to get the door trying to shake the last tendrils of sleep from her mind. As she opened it Jocelyn was standing there looking nervous, cradling her arm and casting furtive glances down the hall. She seemed incredibly uncomfortable.
"Come in." Liz stepped aside letting her enter.
Jocelyn glanced nervously around the room. Dark bags were clear on her face and red veins stood out angrily in the whites of her eyes. Liz was about to ask if she was ok, but it was pretty obvious she was not. Rather than make small talk she decided to just get right to the point.
Jocelyn didn't speak, and instead walked over to Liz's laptop. She plugged it into her makeup mirror and started to boot-up the laptop. Seriously though, what the heck was she plugging in and where did that cable come from. It was driving Liz crazy, but she stood silent as she waiting for whatever was going to happen next. Fortunately, whatever Jocelyn's was doing took very little time and after a few keystrokes she stood up.
Liz could barely breathe as she sat down to read the message.
Liz read and re-read the message, trying to understand exactly what it was saying.It didn't make a who lot of sense to her though.
"Ok, sorry, just gimmie a sec." Jocelyn sat down on Liz's bed and pulled her thoughts together.
Tears started to flow down Jocelyn's face.
Liz didn't have an answer for now, so she just sat down next to Jocelyn to give her a hug.
Just then, a warning about a Manastorm popped into her view.
"Great. Let's go." Liz found herself relieved. As strong as she considered herself, she wasn't quite ready to make decisions that could impact the entire human race yet. That's what moms were for.
I love that she trusts her Mom with stuff like that!
Thanks for the catch, will fix. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 4 | 1 |

BkiUdPM5qYVBNjBBcFWP | Los mandos Joy-Con son los principales controles de la consola de videojuegos Nintendo Switch. Son de dos unidades individuales, cada una de las cuales contiene una palanca análoga y una matriz de botones. Pueden utilizarse mientras están conectados a la unidad principal de la consola Nintendo Switch, o separados y utilizados de forma inalámbrica; Cuando se separan, un jugador puede utilizar el par de Joy-Con o dos jugadores pueden repartírselos.
Diseño
Los Joy-Con se distribuyen en pares, designados como "Joy-Con L" y "Joy-Con R", respectivamente. Cada una de ellas mide 4,02 por 1,41 x 1,12 pulgadas (10,2cm x 3,6cm × 2,8cm), y Joy-Con L y R pesan 1,73 onzas (49g) y 1,84 onzas (52g), respectivamente. Los Joy-Con puede conectarse a la consola Nintendo Switch a través de carriles de deslizamiento, o se puede quitar y utilizar por separado por un solo jugador en cada mano (similar a un mando de Wii y el controlador Nunchuk), unido a un asidero para proporcionar un factor de forma utilizados como controladores individuales para dos jugadores. Una sola consola Switch puede soportar hasta ocho conexiones Joy-Con.
Pueden fijarse a los lados de la consola del Switch a través de los carriles, o separarse y utilizarse de forma inalámbrica, ya sea como un par (comparable a un mando Wii y Nunchuck), o dividido entre dos jugadores diferentes. Hasta 8 Joy-Con puede conectarse a una consola de conmutación única a la vez. El Joy-Con puede ser opcionalmente conectado a un accesorio "Joy-Con Grip", con o sin capacidades de carga, que convierten los controladores en un factor de forma similar al del GamePad. En el lanzamiento, los Joy-Con se hicieron disponibles en dos opciones de esquema de color; gris, azul neón y rojo neón.
Cuando se separan de la consola, ambas unidades (Joy-Con) funcionan de forma autónoma entre sí y se comunican con la consola a través del Bluetooth. Las correas de la muñeca se pueden atar a los dos Joy-Con cuando se separan de la consola; Las correas contienen una base de 0.57 pulgadas (1.4cm) de ancho para sujetarlas a los rieles laterales de los Joy-Con, que también extienden sus botones del hombro. Cada correa para la muñeca es específica para el Joy-Con izquierdo o derecho, según lo designado por un símbolo más o menos coincidente en la unidad de correa.
Los Joy-Con contienen baterías no extraíbles de 525mAh, que se cargan cada vez que se conectan a la consola Switch. Un accesorio separado ("armazón de carga") permite que los controladores se carguen en una configuración de gamepad a través de la conexión USB-C.
Características
Ambos controladores contienen un stick analógico, cuatro botones de cara, dos botones superiores, dos botones laterales accesibles cuando se sueltan (que se convierten en botones de hombro cuando se sostienen horizontalmente) y designados como SL y SR, un botón + o –, un botón de sincronización y un indicador de jugador luces. Joy-Con L contiene botones direccionales, un botón -, botones superiores designados como L y ZL, y un botón de captura de pantalla, que permite al jugador subir capturas de pantalla a las redes sociales. En una futura actualización, podrá capturar vídeo. Joy-Con R contiene los botones A, B, X e Y, un botón +, los botones superiores designados como R y ZR, además de un infrarrojo en el joy-con izquierdo y un botón Inicio.
Cada Joy-Con contiene un acelerómetro y giroscopio, que puede ser utilizado para el seguimiento de movimiento. Los juegos pueden soportar el uso de Joy-Con para apuntar controles similares al mando Wii mientras se desacopla sin necesidad de una barra de sensores. Joy-Con R contiene un sensor de seguimiento de profundidad infrarroja, que puede leer objetos y movimientos sostenidos delante de él; Como un ejemplo de su funcionalidad, Nintendo afirmó que el sensor podría distinguir entre las formas de mano de roca-papel-tijeras. Joy-Con R también contiene un lector de comunicaciones de campo cercano para su uso con el Amiibo.
El Joy-Con contiene un motor de retroalimentación háptica conocido como "HD Rumble", que fue desarrollado en asociación con Immersion Corporation. Nintendo afirmó que el sistema podría generar una buena respuesta táctil, como la sensación de cubos individuales de hielo y el agua en un vaso.
Desarrollo de terceros
Se descubrió poco después de la publicación pública que los Joy-Con pueden conectarse y utilizarse con otros ordenadores personales y dispositivos móviles habilitados para el Bluetooth.
Recepción
Problemas técnicos
Antes del lanzamiento público de Nintendo Switch, varios sitios web de videojuegos informaron que los controladores —los más comúnmente los Joy-Con L— eran susceptibles a las pérdidas de conexión cuando se utilizan de forma inalámbrica. Inicialmente se desconocía si estos problemas eran el resultado de un problema de interferencia, o causado por el software de pre-lanzamiento en las unidades de revisión. Un portavoz de Nintendo declaró a Polygon que la compañía «seguirá supervisando el rendimiento del hardware y software de Nintendo Switch, y hará mejoras cuando sea necesario». La compañía publicó una guía en su sitio web de soporte para minimizar la interferencia de la señal Bluetooth, incluyendo recomendaciones de que la consola de Switch se colocará lejos de otros dispositivos inalámbricos. El 22 de marzo de 2017, Nintendo confirmó que las cuestiones de interferencia fueron causadas por una «variante de fabricación» en un pequeño número de Joy-Con de las primeras series de producción, y que la compañía permitiría a los propietarios enviar a Joy-Con gratis.
En el lanzamiento, se informó de que los accesorios de correa de muñeca para el Joy-Con eran difíciles de separar de los controladores. También se informó de que una correa de muñeca para un lado podría ser fácilmente conectado a la Joy-Con equivocada y quedar atrapado, por lo que es difícil de quitar.
Sin embargo, el problema técnico de los Joy-con más común es el drifting; este error hace que la palanca de un determinado Joy-Con empiece a controlarse sola, incluso sin contacto por parte del usuario. Se desconocen las causas, pero la más común sería que haya entrado polvo debajo de las palancas. Para solucionar este problema, Nintendo decidió reparar de forma gratuita estos Joy-Con con el drifting, incluso si la consola está fuera de garantía. El drifting no se soluciona si se entra a la configuración de la consola y se "recalibran" las palancas. Tampoco es de extrañar que sea muchísimo más común en los Joy-Con, ya que la gran mayoría de los Controles Pro de Switch (que se venden por separado) no tienen drifting.

BkiUdno5qYVBhn-WmObZ | Covid: Stranded in UAE, 40 Indian expats flown to Saudi, Kuwait
Nearly 600 Indians were left stranded in the UAE amid new Covid strain borders closure.
At least 40 Indians stranded in the UAE, awaiting travel to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, have finally flown to the KSA after both countries resumed international flights on Sunday. However, hundreds still await safe passage, Khaleej Times has learnt.
Nearly 600 Indian expatriates were left stranded in the UAE during the end of December after Kuwait and Saudi Arabia closed their borders amid concerns about the new Covid-19 strain that has spread throughout Europe.
Neeraj Agarwal, Consul (press, information and culture) at the Consulate General of India in Dubai, confirmed that at least 40 passengers have left for Saudi since the borders re-opened. "In collaboration with the community groups that have come forward to support these stranded passengers, we are now considering the feasibility to arrange transport buses to drive them to Riyadh," said Agarwal.
"The flights to Saudi are very few and far between and passengers are finding it hard to re-book their tickets. However, the cost of living here is also increasing," he added. According to Agarwal, only 10 to 15 per cent of the total stranded passengers wish to fly to Kuwait.
Luckily for these stranded passengers, the Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre (KMCC), UAE, provided free shelter to more than 200 passengers in Ajman. Similarly, nearly 300 expatriates were provided accommodation, thanks to Markaz Dubai.
Puttur Rahman, president of the UAE Kerala Muslim Cultural Centre's (KMCC) National Committee, said: "We are working in collaboration with the Consulate and planning bus tours. However, this is still under discussion. For now, the stranded passengers are provided good accommodation." Rahman added flight tickets to Saudi are available only after January 7 or 10. "We are also working with transport groups," he said.
Advocate Ibrahim Khaleel, acting general secretary at KMCC, pointed out: "Two hotels were arranged for the stranded travellers at Dh40 per day, per passenger. The remaining was provided by KMCC. It is a bit difficult to get the tickets rescheduled and the available dates are available only after January 10."

BkiUdQDxK5YsWOzBCfDm | I've not written for ages. I've not had enough head-space. It's been taken up with daydreaming about a different creative medium: video.
Over the past few weeks (ever since my visit to Kathmandu), I've been conjuring and concocting all sorts of different visualisations.
That process has been incredibly invigorating. It has been as though someone has unlocked a door to a room in our house which for years I'd forgotten we even had.
On the other side of the door is a freshly decorated room, with a bed covered in cotton sheets, and a big Georgian window through which strong warm sun is shining. This room is the kind of rediscovery that makes my eyes widen.
Day after day I've coldly passed-by the room I'd previously been occupying (the space in my head I usually visit when I write) in favour of my recently rediscovered playroom on the top floor. Sometimes run to that new room. Sometimes I realise I haven't even left it. There are even moments when I think I'd quite like to stay here for as long as I possibly can.
Writing has been passed over in favour of video.
If I step back momentarily into that writing room what I find is a little disappointing.
Piles of books have been left on the floor. Now they wait to be put away on the oak shelves that line the walls of the room. Everything looks rather unloved, perhaps even dispensed with.
This sometimes happens. I can go weeks or months without even realising I haven't written anything. There a few stages in my growing realisation. First I'll not notice anything has changed except for a strange nagging feeling. Then when I start to put two and two together, I'll wonder how it was I hadn't noticed something had changed sooner. Only then will I try to work out what happened to stop me from writing in the first place.
My diary — a journal I've kept since I was a teenager — is littered with gaps in time. The longest leap is twelve months. Most are between weeks and a couple of months.
When I return to the writing its always with a sense of disappointment. Probably a bit of guilt. Expectations loom large. Writing becomes rather difficult all of a sudden.
But soon after I've got cracking, I'll quickly realise that the writing process isn't anywhere near as onerous to get started as I'd tricked myself into thinking in the intervening weeks or months. Then the inevitable: why didn't I do this before now?
Procrastination and its younger more flirtatious sibling Displacement are the unhelpful habits at play here.
It's no surprise really that video has taken over my thinking in recent weeks. It's more colourful. It's more immediate. The different effects don't need to be described in words in order to conjur up a feeling, the visuals trigger the emotions themselves. Suddenly, words get in the way.
Video promises a quicker kind of gratification. Importantly, it's also a kind of storytelling which is more manageable. Great long passages of rambling prose risk putting the reader off. Video insists on succinctness.
If writing were a person then that person appears to me right now as a little huffy. It's pleased I'm back but its not going to let me get off lightly.
The irony is that writing demands constant, regular attention. It requires routine. Yet that very routine is susceptible to distraction, especially that which delivers a faster and quicker kind of gratification.
It's difficult to know how to reconcile the two, or indeed whether they even need to be. I don't know what is the best way to strike a happy balance.
At least, I don't know yet. | c4 | 5 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

RESERVE YOUR EVENINGS FOR RELAXING AND BONDING WITH THE FAMILY OVER A GAME OF POOL, POPCORN AND A MOVIE, OR A DIP IN THE HOT TUB WHILE WATCHING THE STARS REFLECT OFF THE LAKE. LAKEVIEW LODGE IS SO CLOSE TO EVERYTHING, YET SO FAR AWAY FROM THE GRIND... THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
LAKE VIEW IN THE PINES- This newly constructed, custom built, magnificent estate is located in Iron Wood Estates which is one of the most sought-after location in Big Bear Lake due to its views and proximity to attractions. Three stories tall this cabin is 4,300 square feet and furnished with quality cabin amenities. There are 6 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms and beds for 15 family and friends.

This property has 2 King(s), 3 Queen(s), 1 Full(s), 2 Twin(s).
The property is as beautiful as the pictures! the attention to detail is amazing, the wood work, appliances and the theater!!! OMG THE THEATER!!! All in all, it was a great experience at a beautiful, warm and convenient home and I highly recommend it!
Beautiful Home. Very well furnished and maintained. Loved the very large decks. Great view of the Lake. Short walking distance to the Village. But a pretty good hill to walk home. We drove because a big parking lot is at the bottom of the hill and it was so easy to make the drive. We vacationed with our family and toddler grandson (hence the driving the hill). A retreat to which we'd gladly return.
We had a blast! The place was very spacious and comfortable, wow rentals (Lory) was always available if we had any questions or needed anything, the place is close to everything you would Need at big bear - village, marina, etc.
This home exceeded all of our expectations; so much so, that all of our children and grandchildren wanted us to book it again for next year (and we have)! Having the village within a close walk added a wonderful dimension to our family gathering. Almost every day someone was walking down for lunch, dinner, an ice cream or a beverage.
The home itself was perfect in every respect. We ate almost all of our meals at the cabin after deciding that nothing in the village could match the atmosphere or the views. The kitchen had every appliance and pan you could possibly need; however, you will need to bring some of the cooking basics such as vegetable oil, sugar, condiments and spices as most of these aren't provided.
The bedrooms and bathrooms were very nicely laid out and equipped. That said, a couple of the mattresses are past their prime but adequate.
The theater and the upstairs game room were a big hit. They got used every day.
Finally, the patios are both large and inviting. They got a lot of use for games of 'Corn-hole' and outdoor 'Jenga". Most dinners were cooked on the outdoor barbecue and the adults tended to eat outside while the children were placed inside at the dining table. After dinner the adults retired to the upstairs patio for sunset and a beverage.
This may be our favorite vacation site of the many we have booked through VRBO.
The home is fantastic for large groups. There is a lot of room and fun toys including the spa, pool table and home movie theater (you ca buy movies, stream or use a DVD). The house is beautiful with magnificent views from multiple decks. You can walk to the Village although the hike back up the hill can be a challenge. We have already decided to rent again next year.
Our family travels regularly with other families. (At least 4-6 times per year). This has been our best experience yet!! This home was fully stocked with everything you could ever want or need in a vacation home. The WOW rental group met us at the home and ran us through all of the operating procedures for the spa and entertainment room. The home was fantastic. Thank you for your hospitality.
We've rented different cabins over the years, but this one was absolutely perfect for our group getaway - amazing views, plenty of room for cooking and meals, close to hikes and town.... We came to Big Bear for Oktoberfest, but barely wanted to leave the cabin! Lory from wowrentals was very helpful as well - always available and quick to respond to questions or issues. With any luck, we'll be back here next year!
This place was off the hook. Super modern with a cabin feel. The woodwork inside the house was out of this world. The staff was always available if we had any issues. shoet drive to the lake and the village. If you are in big bear look no further. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

Numerical models for volcanic unrest
Before most volcanic eruptions, restless behaviors are usually observed, such as degassing, surface deformation, and earthquakes. It is important to use quantitative tools to understand the magma dynamics and its response of surrounding rocks. Therefore, we can forecast when a magma system is approaching the critical condition for eruption.
Degassing and sealing
Temperature (Left), Steam velocity (Middle), and Vertical deformation (Right) from a finite element model of the Augustine Volcano, showing the host rock response to degassing before and after the upper conduit is sealed (Zhan et al., in prep.)
Dike propagation
Surface deformation, minimum principal stress, and pore pressure evolution during a veritical diking event. The finite element model is calculated by COMSOL Multiphysics 5.5. (Zhan et al., in prep.)
As a postdoctoral fellow at Carnegie, Yan will work with Diana Roman and Hélène Le Mével on exploring the mechanism of precursory deformation, seismicity, and other behavior during volcanic unrest. Yan is developing numerical models based on the laws of poro-viscoelasticity, damage mechanics, and thermodynamics to quantify:
deformation and stress buildup due to magma or volatile dynamics,
failure initiation due to stress accumulation,
stress evolution and failure propagation due to progressive damage,
earthquake triggering due to failure processes,
fracture healing after volcanic unrest, which affects the initial state for the next unrest cycle.
Quantifying the eruption potential of a restless volcano requires the ability to model parameters such as overpressure and calculate the host rock stress state as the system evolves. A critical challenge is developing a model-data fusion framework to take advantage of observational data and provide updates of the volcanic system through time. The Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) uses a Monte Carlo approach to assimilate volcanic monitoring data and update models of volcanic unrest, providing time-varying estimates of overpressure and stress. In Zhan and Gregg (2017), the EnKF was shown to be effective for forecasting volcanic deformation using synthetic InSAR and GPS data.
Illustration of the data assimilation strategy for magma reservoir modeling. The example model shows the predicted surface deformation (top surface) and von Mises stress due to a pressurized magma reservoir. The Ensemble Kalman Filter (EnKF) approach is modified from Gregg and Pettijohn (2016). (A) The initial ensemble of models is produced, including model uncertainties. The forecast ensemble (B) is sequentially derived from forward integration of the initial suite of models. (C) Data utilized in this implementation include InSAR and/or GPS, but could also include additional such as gravity, seismicity, and tomography. (D) When new data are available, an EnKF analysis is conducted to update the model parameters (E) and change the trajectory of the model. The updated model parameters are then used to create a new forecast ensemble. (Zhan and Gregg, 2017)
In Zhan et al. (2017), the EnKF is used to provide a "hindcast" of the 2009 explosive eruption of Kerinci volcano, Indonesia. A two-source analytical model is used to simulate the surface deformation of Kerinci volcano observed by InSAR time-series data and to predict system evolution. A deep, deflating dike-like source reproduces the subsiding signal on the flanks of the volcano, and a shallow spherical McTigue source reproduces the central uplift. EnKF predicted parameters are used in finite element models to calculate the host-rock stress state prior to the 2009 eruption. Models reveal that the host rock around the shallow magma reservoir was trending towards tensile failure prior to 2009, which may have been the catalyst for the 2009 eruption. Another application of the EnKF approach is utilizing high performance computing data assimilation to provide a successful forecast of the 26 June 2018 eruption of Sierra Negra volcano in the Galápagos, more than six months in advance (Gregg and Zhan et al., in prep.). Forecast models combined with satellite InSAR data reveal that the evolution of the stress state in the host rock surrounding the Sierra Negra magma system likely controlled the timing of the eruption.
Volcanic unrest in Laguna del Maule volcano
The Laguna del Maule (LdM) volcanic field is a large rhyolitic magmatic system in the Chilean Andes, which has exhibited frequent eruptions during the past 20 ka. Rapid surface uplift (>20 cm/yr) has been observed since 2007 accompanied by localized earthquake swarms and micro-gravity changes, indicating the inflating magma reservoir may interact with a pre-existing weak zone (i.e., Troncoso fault). In this investigation, we model the magma reservoir by data assimilation with InSAR data. The reservoir geometry is comparable to the magma body inferred by seismic tomography, magnetotelluric, and gravity studies. The models also suggest that a weak zone, which has little effect on surface displacement, can significantly affect the stress field and host rock failure development, especially with high pore-pressures (Fig. 1). In particular, concentrated dilatancy within the weak zone facilitates the microfracture formation during reservoir inflation. High-pressure fluid can inject into the weak zone from the magma reservoir to trigger earthquakes, and further migrate upwards to create positive gravity changes by occupying unsaturated storages. The pore pressure will then decrease, halting the seismicity swarm until the next cycle. This "hydrofracturing" process may release some accumulated stress along the magma reservoir delaying an eventual eruption in turn. Besides, the resultant models are propagated forward in time to evaluate potential stress trajectories for future unrest.
A 3D cartoon illustrating the interaction between the magma reservoir and hydrothermal system. (a) Microfractures open or get connected due to the inflation of the magma chamber. (b) A high-pressure fluid from the magma reservoir then injects into the dilatant fault zone triggering seismicity. (c) The fluid moves to unsaturated shallow storages to create a positive gravity anomaly, and the pore pressure will decrease after that to stop the seismic swarm until the next cycle. (Zhan et al., 2019)
Effects of material proporties on volcano modeling
The effects of Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio on brittle failure with variations in the source depth to center. The CMSU is the maximum value of the surface uplift that can be observed before any failure is initiated around the magma chamber.
Mohr circle diagrams illustrating that the initial failure type is controlled by host rock stiffness and strength. The Mohr circles represent of the stress state at the tip of the chamber as shown in the inserted plot. (a) For the host rock with relatively low Young's Modulus (E = 20 GPa) and cohesion (20 MPa), the Mohr circle increases and touches the Coulomb failure envelop first. (b) The high cohesion (80 MPa) of the stronger rock (E = 80 GPa) allows the Mohr circle to reach tensile failure first. (Zhan and Gregg, 2019)
Forecasting the onset of a volcanic eruption from a closed system requires understanding its stress state and failure potential, which can be investigated through numerical modeling. However, the lack of constraints on model parameters, especially rheology, may substantially impair the accuracy of failure forecasts. Therefore, it is essential to know whether large variations and uncertainties in rock properties will preclude the ability of models to predict reservoir failure. In Zhan and Gregg (2019), a series of 2-dimensional, axisymmetric models are used to investigate sensitivities of brittle failure initiation to assumed rock properties. The numerical experiments indicate that Poisson's ratio and internal friction angle have much less effect on failure forecasts than Young's modulus. Variations in Young's modulus significantly affect the prediction of surface deformation before failure onset when Young's modulus is <40 GPa. Earlier precursory volcano-tectonic events may occur in weak host-rock (E <40 GPa) due to an early stage of Coulomb failure prior to tensile failure. Thus, combining surface deformation with seismicity may enhance the accuracy of eruption forecast in these situations.
Intraplate earthquake
Geological background of the Central United States. The tectonic provinces and three ancient rifts are modified after Hoffman (1989) and Whitmeyer and Karlstrom (2007). Black arrows show region horizontal compressional stress (Heidbach et al., 2008). Red circles are epicenters of M ≥ 3.0 events from 1811 to 2015
A geodynamic model to explain the process of earthquake triggering due to stress accumulation. A wedge-like mantle low-velocity zone (MLVZ) makes the stress localized above it and a relative strong Lower Crust exhibiting high seismic velocity (LCHV) enables the stress building beneath the ancient Reelfoot Rift. The reactivation of the pre-existing fault within the rift triggers earthquakes in the NMSZ. (Zhan et al., 2016)
The mechanism of intraplate earthquakes is not well understood. For example, the New Madrid Seismic Zone (NMSZ) in the Midwestern United States was the site of several major M 6.8–8 earthquakes in 1811–1812 and remains seismically active, but the ultimate controls on earthquake initiation and the duration of the seismicity remain unclear. In Zhan et al. (2016), we develop a series of numerical experiments to determine the impact of lithospheric heterogeneity on earthquake nucleation and rupture processes (Fig. 2). The rheological structure of the lithosphere is inferred by seismic tomography. Results indicate that due to a relatively weak upper mantle, the differential stress prefer to accumulate beneath the crust of NMSZ, whereas the stresses below the geologically similar Midcontinent Rift System are comparatively low. The numerical observations coincide with the observed distribution of seismicity throughout the region. Furthermore, the relatively strong crust in this region, exhibited by high seismic velocities, enables the elevated stress to extend to the base of the ancient rift system, reactivating fossil rifting faults and therefore triggering earthquakes.

Going Through the Motions: When Liturgy Seems to Fail
Professor of Philosophy / Gary and Henrietta Byker Chair in Applied Reformed Theology and Worldview, Calvin College
Habits & Practices
Sometimes, people who have been exposed to Christian practices and traditions for their whole life don't end up becoming well-formed Christians who act like Jesus. Philosopher James K.A. Smith offers some thoughts about when liturgy seems to fail.
Well what about all the people who've gone through the motions their whole life and they don't look any different than anybody else? And in which case, I do think it's important to come to a reflective understanding of why we do what we do when we worship. And often people who are raised in traditions that aren't characterized by that, what my colleague John Witflee calls Liturgical Catechesis, where you help people understand why we're doing what we're doing when we worship. For them, it has only and always been doing what Mom and Dad told me to do, and therefore they've never owned what's at stake in what they're doing.
In a way, I mean I think our kids have gone through a certain kind of liturgical experience, and you know, they're 15, and most days [snoring]. And yet that doesn't mean it's not doing something to them, but I hope when they're 27 they come back and it's like alright, I understand why I'm doing this, and you sort of own it. Cause there is something about, I say there's virtue to going through the motions, but I don't think that's the ideal all the time. So Vatican Two talked about full conscious active participation in worship, and I think it's putting those two things together in a way.

The Latest 'HTGAWM' Flash Forward Raises Serious Questions About Michaela
by Zakiya Jamal
The fourth season of How to Get Away With Murder has only just begun and fans are already filled with plenty of questions. The season premiere revealed that in just two months' time something with happen to Laurel's baby and last week's episode seems to indicate Michaela knows something about that. So what happened to Michaela on How to Get Away With Murder?
In the flash forward, Michaela is also at the hospital where Laurel is understandably hysterical and asking, "Where's my baby?" Annalise's therapist, Isaac, spots her in the hall and mistakes her for Annalise (seriously dude, they look nothing alike). Michaela's clearly been crying and there are blood stains on her dress. Isaac pulls her in for a comforting hug and she says, "He's dead isn't he? Everyone around us dies." Then when the camera pulls away it's revealed she's standing in front of the hospital nursery, and there are rows of babies, none of which appear to be Laurel's.
So was Michaela referring to Laurel's baby when she said "he"? It definitely seems that way, especially since, earlier in the episode, Laurel told Annalise it was a boy. Why drop that truth bomb early in the episode if it wasn't going to come back into play later? Also, she was standing in front of the nursery, because she was probably looking for the baby.
However, many people think that idea is much too easy for HTGAWM, which loves to hit fans with a good twist. So who else could Michaela be talking about? One of the Keating 4? This seems the most unlikely. Wes just died last season; it'd be a stranger decision to kill another main character so soon. Plus, I'm assuming when Michaela said everyone around "us" dies, she meant the Keating 4, which would mean she's referring to someone else besides themselves.
She's obviously not talking about Frank because he's at the hospital with Laurel. So that really only leaves Nate or Simon, but honestly would Michaela be that distraught if Simon died? She's threatened him on the show twice now, and he's just downright irritating. It seems the most obvious answer might be right this time, and Michaela really is talking about Laurel's baby.
But then there's the question of the blood on her dress. It doesn't appear to be her own and it seems like it could be related to the blood seen at Annalise's hotel room and in the elevator. But, whose blood is it? It'd be easy to assume it's Laurel's, but why was she with Annalise in the first place? Excuse the pun, but it's clear there's plenty of bad blood between them. What could've brought Laurel, and presumably Michaela, to Annalise's apartment? Perhaps it was Isaac, whose role in all of this is still very unclear.
Whatever the situation is, Michaela definitely seems to be a part of it in some way, which makes sense considering that, in the last episode, Laurel pretty much convinced her to use her internship to dig up dirt on Laurel's father. Michaela purposefully chose to work with Teagan at the firm, because she covers the Antares account, which is Laurel's dad's business. Perhaps Michaela gets in over her head, and Laurel's father does something to her like what he did to Wes. Except, somehow, Michaela survives it. Who knows?
There are so many possibilities right now, and the truth is fans will probably just have to wait and see what really happens. For now, let's just hope that Michaela is wrong and whoever "he" is, isn't actually dead. But with a show called How to Get Away With Murder, my hopes aren't all that high.

BkiUctfxK0fkXPSOpsSg | Most web hosting service providers offer two kinds of hosting: Linux hosting and Windows hosting. In general, Linux hosting refers to shared hosting, the most popular hosting service in the industry. In fact, most of the websites are now hosted using Linux hosting due to its affordable price and flexibility.
Linux hosting is compatible with PHP and MySQL, which supports scripts such as WordPress, Zen Cart, and phpBB. Windows hosting, on the other hand, uses Windows as the servers' operating system and offers Windows-specific technologies such as ASP, .NET, Microsoft Access and Microsoft SQL server (MSSQL).
The million-dollar question is what application are you looking to use for your hosting? Consider the tools and scripting languages you plan to use – if you use PHP, Perl or MySQL, Linux is the way forward. If apps are Microsoft-specific, then Windows is what you need.
When comparing Windows vs. Linux hosting there are many rumors you may have heard about why one is better than the other.
Performance: On both platforms the speed and efficiency will be comparable when an experienced administrator manages it.
Stability: While Windows web hosting systems were notoriously unstable in the past, the stability between a Windows server and a Linux server today is negligible.
Static pages: Windows platforms and Linux platforms can host static HTML file almost identically.
Ease of use: Most interaction with your web hosting system will be through FTP or a server's control panel. So even if Windows provides a nice GUI interface, you aren't likely to use it anyway.
Security: Though the topic could be argued by operating system purists, today, both web hosting platforms are comparably secure.
Linux is an open source system and is therefore more cost-effective to operate and maintain than Windows, meaning that Linux hosting will cost you less than Windows hosting. Windows servers also offer web developers the use of Microsoft's programming environments such as Active Server Pages (ASP), Visual Basic Scripts, and MS Index Server.
Linux is good in that it is compatible with the popular programming language PHP. Users can develop web site using the familiar interface of Microsoft tools such as, Visual Interdev, and Microsoft Access.
A website designed to be hosted on a Linux server can be easily hosted on the windows server. But a website build on the windows server cannot be hosted on the Linux server.
You can find affordable linux web hosting services at cpwebhosting. It also lists best windows web hosting plans with best resources for your website. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUbJY5qsBB3PVU-Ojk | Avanta Serviced Offices Open 8 New Office Centres in 2008
17 December 2008 admin General Articles, Work Environment
Serviced office space company Avanta has circulated their end of year press release which celebrates this year's impressive office space expansion despite the pressure of 2008's downturn.
Avanta launched 8 new office space business centres across London and the UK in locations including Manchester, Edinburgh, Harrow, Ealing and Heathrow Airport. In London, Grove House on Orange Street was the first to open early in 2008, offering fully furnished offices in a prime location in the heart of the West End. Later their equally impressive Devonshire Square Estate business centre opened (see opposite), again offering an enviable business address with offices located opposite Liverpool Street Station in the City. Furthermore Avanta also opened a centre in Mayfair in a lovely grade II listed property at 20 Hanover Square, just next door to their current centre at number 18 Hanover Square, this was a real highlight as the company strengthened their Mayfair holdings.
This year Avanta also expanded internationally, opening new centres in India. The fantastic new Indian business centres, Statesman House in New Delhi (see opposite) and two soon to open in Mumbai, have had a dedicated Avanta India team assigned to them to ensure that their overseas office business centres will run as professionally as they do here in the UK!
Other year highlights was the partnership with the established US company Davinci, who specialise in virtual office support applications and the sponsorship of the annual Sparks Race Day where £15,000 was raised for the children's charity.
Reflecting on another busy year, Avanta's Chief Executive, David Alberto, reportedly said: "The two most important factors for occupiers when acquiring office space are capital expenditure and flexibility. In the current economic climate occupiers do not want to commit to lengthy and costly leaseholds. Serviced offices provide an attractive proposition, offering flexibility and transparency with pricing."
Continuing to deliver on cost and flexibility, prospects for 2009 look good for the company despite the current economic conditions and we look forward to bringing you the latest updates from Avanta, one of the UK's leading serviced office companies next year!

BkiUbLw5qsJBjdcny0wc | So my sons are both out of elementary school, but I maintained my loyalty to their former school's spring plant sale anyway (a decade's worth of habits die hard). One of the things I bought was a six-pack of different tomato plants.
Now I know that six tomato plants is too many, even for a family that likes tomatoes. My older son used to just eat cherry tomatoes like candy. As a toddler, I would take him to the local co-op, put him in the grocery cart seat and give him a carton of organic cherry tomatoes to munch on while we shopped. Still, in past years I've limited myself to just two plants of heritage tomatoes from the farmer's market. Plenty.
But this year the combination of winter and the tempting array of tomatoes in the pictures (Big Boy! Super Sweet! Those cool yellow ones!) on the order form was too much for me. And now I am seeing the consequences of my lack of restraint. So many tomatoes, all ripe at once. I filled up a big colander just a few days ago and will need to go out again very soon.
So what does this have to do with skating? Biting off more than I can chew? Too many things to work on? Actually not much, but I wanted to share my gazpacho recipe. It's adapted from an old copy of The Colorado Cache Cookbook that I got many years ago.
Chop up the first six ingredients into pretty small pieces (especially the green pepper), then add the others and chill.
Yes, it's that easy, aside from the chopping. And it's great for a hot summer day, as if skating weren't chill enough.

Deep cravings for pudding? Thinking about going over to the dark side of chocolate? Here it is, sans wobble.
This is a variation on a recipe I found on a blog called "Almost Slowfood"; it was inspired by Karen DeMasco's recipe for chocolate pudding in The Craft of Baking. DeMasco bakes hers in a water bath, but Peggy Boujaily does hers with semisweet chocolate on the stove.
No added sugar, so it's much more bittersweet than the average chocolate pudding. I can actually eat this and then eat an orange afterwards without going into major mouth-pucker mode. I don't think it's too bitter, but my sons do, opting instead for the wonderful chocolate chip cookie dough pudding that Eva makes when she's not too busy skating. That's okay; this way my husband and I have the entire batch to ourselves and everyone is pudding-happy.
2-3 oz. chopped bittersweet chocolate (70% or more). Since my variation has no additional sugar, you may want to add 2 oz. first and then taste test.
For the oven version, preheat the oven to 275 degrees.
Add the cream, milk, vanilla and salt to a medium pot. Set over a medium high heat and stir until nearly boiling. Add the chocolate and stir continuously until melted.
Dip a ladle into the chocolate mixture and very very slowly add to the egg yolks while vigorously whisking; for me, this worked much better with a kitchen helper since I have trouble pouring slowly while whisking vigorously (no wonder skating is a challenge). Whisk the egg yolk mixture well and then pour it all back into the pot.
If you are doing this on the stove, moderately boil the pudding (and keep whisking!) for a few minutes until it feels thickened. You'll feel a difference almost immediately once the egg yolk mixture is added. Then remove from the heat and pour into serving dishes and refrigerate until set.
If you are doing it in the oven, individual ramekins go into a water bath and then into a preheated over for 20 minutes. Then chill before serving, unless warm pudding is your thing.
I like this plain, but the rest of my family goes for whipped cream and maybe some strawberries.
Made with one of the final batches of cherry tomatoes and tomatillos from the garden, along with some onion, jalapeños, and cilantro.
Between that, the Pope's visit and the awesome super moon eclipse last night, it's been quite a couple of days. I wasn't sure I could take any more excitement. But add to that some amazing skating insights, and whoa, man, adrenaline rush!
Okay, I didn't actually see the Pope (this photo was taken by my sister) since his visit brought him nowhere close to Minnesota. But the amazing skating insights are mine, all mine.
Of course, many of them come from ASCs Laurie and Ari, and now they are yours to try too if you are reading this. So they also belong to many others–which is more than okay because, like fresh salsa, papal blessings, and the wonderful moon, there is more than enough to go around.
ASI #1: My left hip has never really been beneath me. If I move my hip forward, engage my glutes, and allow the left hip flexor not only to extend but also to stretch, then it is finally beneath me. I have been doing this off-ice stretch to reinforce this. Oh, and by the way, my right hip is sometimes not beneath me either. But now I know what to do!
ASI #2: I need to use my feet to push. Not just my leg, but the foot, the whole foot (and nothing but the foot) which moves down into the ice and then stays there. Boom. That stop motion of the foot extending everything back is what I've been missing whenever I push onto a forward outside edge. Laurie told me to think of the foot as the tip and the rest of me squirting forward as if I were a pastry bag. It works for me, okay? Pastry bags I can handle.
ASI #3: Everything is about circles. Legs go in, legs go out. Feet come in, feet come out. Brain kicks in, brain. . . . Everything is about circles.
A number of years ago, some of my friends and I started an annual cookie exchange. For me it has morphed into a cookie/candy exchange; last year my contribution was Andes mint fudge and this year I made pecan pie truffles. There are a number of recipes out there that use bourbon, but this one is sans alcohol.
Easy to make, no baking involved (except to toast the pecans), and delicious if you are not nut-free or chocolate-averse. I got this recipe from a blog called "High Heels and Grills", the blogger there adapted it from Style Blueprint.
I chopped the nuts (coarsely) in the food processor after toasting them at 375 degrees for just a few minutes, then used the same food processor bowl to make graham cracker crumbs (there are around 9 standard double graham crackers in a cup of crumbs).
Refrigerate mixture for 15 minutes. I stuck them in the front door entryway, which is cold. Or you could try the garage (up on a shelf, away from mice).
Melt the dipping chocolate. (Some bloggers suggest 16 oz. of pre-packaged dipping chocolate. I use around 8 -12 ounces of chopped dark or semi-sweet chocolate and maybe a scant teaspoon of vegetable oil (you could use butter too), melted by microwave on high for 30-seconds at a time and stirring in between. I stop heating when there are still a few unmelted pieces, then stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Coat the truffles with chocolate (you can dip them with a fork, or use fingers). Scrape dripping chocolate off the bottom back into the chocolate bowl and place them wax paper.

BkiUgsPxK7IDP-3_8t4P | Fall Out
The green yellowed nose Lotus Seven drove over Westminster Bridge, turning left passed the Houses of Parliament, then turning right, and right again down a ramp and into an underground car park. The car paused at the barrier as the driver collected a ticket from the dispenser, the barrier rises and the car moves forwards into the depths of the car park. The man steps out smartly from the parked car and heads towards the double doors marked "way out.' He pushes the doors open and passes through, leaving the car park along a darkly lit corridor.
Somewhere in an office in a building along White Hall the man pulls open a pair of double doors, and storms into the office beyond. A bald-headed man wearing spectacles is sat behind the desk doing a crossword puzzle in a newspaper.
The man looks up from his desk "Oh no.......it's you again!" He moves the cup in its saucer on the tea plate to once side.
"Haven't you got any work to do?"
"What do you want this time?"
"I want some answers!"
"Answers?"
"Who put me in the village?
"Village, what village?"
"Oh don't come the old acid with me, the village where people who cannot be left around are put to have the information inside their head protected or extracted."
"Then what are you doing here?"
"Looking for answers, and by thunder this time I'm going to get them. I want to see the Colonel!"
"That's what you wanted the last time."
"This time it's going to be different. Pick up the telephone and tell the Colonel that the village has been left vacant!"
"I shall that explain to the Colonel when I see him."
"Look I can't just........"
"Yes you can.....get me the Colonel at once, otherwise he's going to have an over rated receptionist with a broken neck!"
All it took was a phone call, and before he knew where he was, he was in the Colonel's office.
"And that's what happened?"
"It almost started World War three when that rocket, missile whatever it was, was launched."
"You know about that?"
"Of course my dear chap Jodrell Bank picked up the launch, two moments later the telephones began to ring in Number Ten, the White House, and the Kremlin. Both sides denying any launching of any such rocket......a British made rocket launched from a British installation, on foreign soil. Tricky one that."
"They tried to make out I was responsible............."
"What for launching the rocket.......you didn't, tell me you had nothing to do with that."
"I may have..............."
"Oh you damned fool!"
"Before that, they made me think I was responsible for the village."
"You?! Don't be a bloody fool. Go away, you resigned, go away on that holiday you were taking."
"What about the village?"
"What about it?"
"Nothing. Go away and forget about it."
"But you had me put in that place......it was you who wanted to know why I resigned."
"Always quick to blame others, aren't we Number 1!"
"The trouble with you is, you're your own worst enemy. You couldn't live with the truth then, and you can't live with it now."
"Your town house has been made ready for you, I suggest you go and live in it. Your butler will have high tea ready for when you get home. Oh you won't need the key, the doors been upgraded."
"The front door's been upgraded?"
"Haven't you yet realized, you weren't abducted to any village, you've been here in the village all the time!"

Harwich Branch Labour Party
Labour fury at local Tory cash grab now the elections are over! 🤬 Only a few months after telling the electorate that they were supporting a reduction in the number of councillors on TDC to save money the Tories running TDC, backed by UKIP, Holland Residents and members of the Independent Group, have bulldozed a vote through the council to put the savings into their personal bank accounts. Having told you that the reduction in the number of councillors would save council tax payers £60,000 a year they last night sprang a vote to increase councillors' allowances by a massive £41,000 a year. Labour insisted on a named vote so that you can check whether your councillor voted to put the money in his or her own pocket. In the case of your Labour councillors you needn't bother checking – we all voted against it!
