Windows 10 and early versions of Windows have long supported pen input. For the most part, though, that support was relegated to specific apps. As the company announced at its Build developers conference in San Francisco today, it’s now expanding pen support across its operating system — all developers have to do to implement this is add two lines of code to their apps.
The company argues that 72 percent of people still use pens for more than an hour a day.
Windows Ink, as Microsoft calls its pen support in Windows, will now be able to work above the log screen, for example. Maybe more interesting, though, is the addition of intelligent sticky notes to Windows 10 that will essentially work like regular notes. Apps that support this (like Microsoft Edge, for example) will allow you to go to a web page, write a note and when you go back to that page, the note will be there again.
Microsoft is also adding a sketchbook to Windows 10 so people can doodle on their touch-enabled devices. The sketchbook includes digital rulers, sharing features and other tools.
Microsoft also today said that it worked with Adobe to improve that companies tools to support all of these new features.
Microsoft is also putting improved pen support in its Maps app, where you can now draw a route and the app will automatically tell you the distance. In Office, you will be able to use a stylus to proofread a document and draw shapes, too (and use Microsoft’s digital ruler).
With Microsoft (and Intel) putting an emphasis on 2-in-1 devices, having improved support for styli makes a lot of sense. For some applications like basic note taking, writing math formulas or even music, a pen is still a better solution than a keyboard, after all. | positive |

It is the equivalent of giving your house a new look. It will leave you and your home sensation refreshed, clean and like new. Although it can often be an annoyance to have your home sensation like a work site, completion item is constantly gratifying. The most important part of a paint job is how you take care of the paint finish after conclusion. The upkeep of the exterior and interior of a structure post paint works is necessary to keeping your property looking like brand-new for longer. The cost of re-painting a home is an expense that most people would not want to consist of in their budget more often than is required. Keeping a freshly painted surface effectively preserved can extend the life of the painted surface area and include a few additional years in between repainting. Here are our ideas on maintaining and taking care of your paint task: INTERIOR PAINTWORK MAINTENANCE Recommended time to clean after a paint task is 2 weeks after application of the last leading coat– this is to remove any dust which has been gathered. Bulk of paints used on interior walls are washable. This indicates they can be occasionally cleaned with a milk soap water option. Using a sponge and mild soap service gently scrub the areas that have any light discolorations or marks. Note that older and persistent discolorations are challenging to remove and ought to not be continually scrubbed hard as this might result in long-term damage to the paint work. To prevent stubborn discolorations guarantee any spots are tidied up immediately to avoid drying up and becoming long-term. Regular cleaning assists maintain the look of the paint job and it is suggested to clean and wash walls once a month. For locations susceptible to dirt and marks, e.g. Children’s rooms, it is advised to obtain a single coat of paint done every two years or two. It is essential that you regularly check your walls for any indications of peeling paint as this can be the very first sign of more serious problems such as water damage or seepage problems. As quickly as you see any issue locations it is essential to get the professional suggestions from a painting professional and address and damage immediately to prevent more major issues. Any areas exposed to sunlight, specifically windows and door frames, will lose shine gradually. It is suggested to use a single coat every two years to keep them looking fresh. OUTSIDE PAINTWORK MAINTENANCE Ensure you frequently inspect the exterior of your property to ensure you are on top of any changes or irregularities. Whilst gardening or pottering around the yard make certain to do a visual inspection of your exterior. If you see any issues such as peeling paint or other problems that are calling out for repair be sure to have a professional specialist take a look at the issue and suggest the best ways to move on without having to wait till the problem gets any even worse. All window sills and door frames need to be looked for bubbles and fading. These functions may have to be sanded back and re-painted with one coat to keep that brand new appearance every 2 years. After you have checked for any issue locations or repairs it is important to note how dirty the outside is. It is necessary to sometimes wash down your outside as dirt begins to collect. The more frequently you do this, the less the build up. Yearly washing is frequently stated as a condition of service warranties provided by paint makers and painting applicators. Please note that high-pressure washing can actually damage your paint surface. It is suggested to carry out normal pressure washing with your garden tube and a soft brush to loosen dirt. This will brighten your paint surface considerably. Be proactive in your outside upkeep. This will guarantee your paint task lasts more years and will reduce the need for regular re-painting. Failure to undertake proactive upkeep, particularly the failure to annually wash outside surfaces may void the warranty supplied by the paint producer and painting applicators.

Donacarney (Irish: Domhnach Cearnaigh or Domhnach Cairnigh) is a village in the area known as East Meath in County Meath,[1]Ireland, close to Drogheda and the border with County Louth. It contains one church, two estates, two schools, one pub and the DSE. Although it includes the townlands of Donacarney Great and Donacarney Little, most locals would never use those terms in describing Donacarney. The remains of a late-medieval tower house (see picture to right) is sited close to Donacarney Cross. It is described in the Civil Survey (1654-56) as ‘an ould Castle’. It appears in this state on a map of 1771. Donacarney contains two schools: One boys school and a girls school. Roughly 600 pupils attend both schools. The schools share the same campus. The name of the school is Réalt ná Mara B.N.S and Réalt ná Mara G.N.S respectively. The Old School Hall replaced by the current schools in 1965 originally opened in 1873. The red-bricked building, beside the forge and old village water-pump at Donacarney cross, now serves as a community centre. It is also used as the local polling centre in elections. The school was given planning permission for a new school in 2012. The school will cost €500,000 to build including land buying. The government though will only pay €100,000. The school has all ready made over €150,000 from a raffle held in March 2008. We are a Dublin based Painting and Decorating company.

Swatching is challenging for me; I have short arms, lots of BB creams but minimal swatching real estate unless I want to stripe things up to my armpit and find an assistant who won't think I'm completely crazy (the neighbours already do), and worst of all, I have a point-and-shoot camera that likes to treat my in-direct-sunlight-skin as white balance.
Take a look at the image below, which was the only picture I managed to get in direct light that didn't wash my skin out to complete white and give it an unearthly nimbus, like some sort of pudgy extra from the vampire scenes in Twilight.
As a result, I look forward to swatching with the same excitement as an overdue dentist appointment; something that you dread with only the silver lining to look for of it finally being over.
Why I do it anyway: The perennial question when it comes to BB (and CC creams) is how to pick the right one; I give advice on this daily and it all really comes down to: find the right shade first, worry about the other elements (finish, coverage, texture, moisture, etc) later.
Since walking into a retail store and testing the shades there isn't an option for most BB cream seekers (unless they live in Korea or happen to be somewhere that has a flagship store) we are left with the uncertain prospect of buying BB creams sight-unseen. At best case, we can purchase BB creams in sample sizes from stores such as RoseRoseShop, TesterKorea, ebay, etc, but it's still a waste of money if the shade is wrong.
I use two BB creams out of this whooooole stash. Sadness
This is why online swatches from real people is so important- combined with what your MAC shade is/would be if they made it (as is in my case), you have a much better chance of hitting a BB cream that works for you instead of hemorrhaging money on BB creams that will sit gathering dust in that forgotten corner of our stash, triggering feelings of guilt and frustration whenever we pass over them in favour of products that suit us better.
As someone whose natural skintone is in a shade Mac doesn't even make (I'd be an NC5 or NC10 if they made it, scroll down for the close up of how dark NC15 is compared to my actual skin tone), even the lightest BB creams are usually too dark for me, which means I go through a lot of trial and error (and money *sobs* ) trying to find something that works.
Pro tip: When matching at a Mac counter, have them match to your neck, not your face. You can also use findation.com to reverse-look up your Mac shade based of foundations you currently own. Most of us have a face that is 1-3 shades different than our neck/chest area, which is why foundations can look so right in the store (matched to your face only) but when you get it home and apply it all over, your face is a totally different colour than the rest of you. In fact, only one BB cream that I own (Missha Perfect Cover in #13) actually matches me properly, but it breaks me out. I wear the Mizon Snail BB cream ( reviewed ) daily but it's actually too dark for me compared to my neck/chest. I haven't had a chance to fully test it yet, but the Skin79 Green is also a good colour match for me; sadly I think it also breaks me out.Most of us have a face that is 1-3 shades different than our neck/chest area, which is why foundations can look so right in the store (matched to your face only) but when you get it home and apply it all over, your face is a totally different colour than the rest of you.
Still, I've had more success with Korean cosmetic shades than western ones, so I will continue to chase that mythical unicorn- a BB cream that matches me and doesn't make me break out. I know there are many others on this same perilous journey, and my ill-fitting BB cream bane will hopefully become your BB swatch boon.
You can see it in the original swatch megapost, though, in case you are curious!
Edit: you know what, I'm just going to go ahead and stick the original swatch post close up image in here, so people can see all of them in one place. I do full breakdowns of each BB cream and how compatible I feel it is to NC15 So, I braved the sunlight and ventured outside to take swatches of all the BB and CC creams currently in my posession, save one, the Elisha Coy Premium Gold Mineral BB Cream which is ridiculously expensive (almost $50 for a full size) which I have in travel size and still cost $8. That's more than some of the full sizes on this list, so I'm very annoyed that I can't find it., so people can see all of them in one place. I do full breakdowns of each BB cream and how compatible I feel it is to NC15 in the full post though, so I highly recommend you read it if you haven't already.
Original swatch collection, click here to read the full breakdown! Now on to the new swatches, which I tried to apply less heavily so they would be more realistic to how they'd actually be worn, although the downside is that it's a bit more challenging to see some of the true colour/features of them. The crazy glitter and ultra sheer coverage of the Skin79 Pearl is somewhat lost, for example.
As I did in the prior megaswatch post, I started with a stripe of Mac NC15 in Studio Fix down the outside edge as a reference point (see below) although it is actually too dark for me. Unfortunately, due to the sheer number of swatches, the lighting, and my terrible camera skills, you can't clearly see the NC15 stripe clearly in some of the later shots, so I have included this close-up so you have context for what you are seeing in the other pictures.

I have also included a picture of everything swatched in the shade as this was easier to distinguish between the shades once my skin was not glaring in the sun. Scroll down for another image with all the BB creams listed on top of the image, but the labels obscure the stripe of Mac NC15 painted down the side of my arm (on the leftmost edge in the below image, then also on the lower right edge to compare the right lower column to) so I have included this one without labels as it's easier to identify the NC15 and relative shades of the BB creams in comparison.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Rising sea temperatures attributed to global climate change could drive many marine creatures away from the equator, but their move toward the poles promises to put them in peril in habitats that are smaller and less hospitable, scientists say.
Reef corals (genus Acropora/Isopora) are seen in the Western Indo-Pacific Ocean in this undated handout picture from Paul Muir from the Queensland Museum in Townsville, Queensland, Australia. REUTERS/Paul Muir/Queensland Museum/Handout via Reuters
Two studies published on Thursday in the journal Science illustrate dangers researchers forecast for sea animals as diverse as corals, fish and crustaceans.
University of Washington oceanographer Curtis Deutsch said warmer ocean temperatures increase both the metabolic rates of ocean creatures and their demand for oxygen, but warm water contains less oxygen than cold, necessitating a move toward the poles to find cooler seas.
“As habitat shrinks, populations are also likely to shrink. In the extreme, it leads to extinction, as we see with habitat destruction in terrestrial ecosystems,” Deutsch said.
As species migrate, they may end up in new environments with different ocean conditions, predators and prey, Deutsch added.
The study looked at species including: Atlantic rock crab, a coastal crustacean; Atlantic cod, an open-ocean fish; sharp snout seabream, a subtropical Atlantic and Mediterranean fish; and the common eelpout, a bottom-dwelling, shallow-water fish in high northern latitudes.
By 2100, they could be displaced from as much as a quarter of their current ranges as they shift toward higher latitudes, the researchers found.
Another study focused on the world’s largest group of reef corals, called staghorn corals, that dominate most reefs of the Indo-Pacific region and also reside in the Caribbean but are highly susceptible to a phenomenon called coral bleaching.
In high ocean temperatures, corals expel algae living in their tissues, making the creatures turn white. This can kill them or make them more susceptible to other hazards.
The corals may have a hard time in cooler-water environments further from the equator, the study found. Because corals are dependent on sunlight, which does not penetrate the surface as well in higher latitudes especially during winter, they would be restricted to habitats in shallower waters if they migrate toward cooler waters.
Marine biologist Paul Muir of the Museum of Tropical Queensland in Australia said these corals are “facing a double jeopardy: bleaching at low latitudes with limited refuge available at higher latitudes.”
“It was hoped that in response to warming oceans many groups of animals and plants would shift towards the poles, but for a large and important group of reef corals this option now appears limited,” Muir said. | positive |

Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption David Cameron: "Britain is not going to get involved in another war in Iraq"
Prime Minister David Cameron has insisted the government's position on Iraq is "clear" and said the UK would not deploy "boots on the ground".
Mr Cameron said Britain would "use all the assets that we have", including "military prowess" and aid to defeat the "monstrous" Islamic State militant group (IS).
Parliament did not need to be recalled to discuss Iraq, he added.
Labour said Britain's role in the crisis was "pretty unclear".
Defence Secretary Michael Fallon has said the UK's military involvement in the country could last for "months", and has revealed that RAF surveillance aircraft are operating there.
IS, an extreme Sunni Islam group, is seeking to build a so-called caliphate - a new Islamic state spanning Iraq and Syria.
The group has seized large parts of both countries in recent months and is alleged to have carried out mass killings of non-Muslims.
Analysis
Jonathan Beale, BBC defence correspondent
The British military role in Iraq has already morphed from providing humanitarian relief to gathering intelligence. It could easily change again to more direct intervention.
Even now one can assume that surveillance being carried out by the RAF's latest spy plane - the Rivet Joint - is being used to help the US military to identify potential IS targets.
The eight Tornado jets already at RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus, and currently being used for surveillance, could easily switch to a bombing role. But such a move would probably have to be approved by the Cyprus government.
The political language is changing - perhaps a sign that ministers are preparing the ground for airstrikes. The military hardware is in place. But there are still obstacles - not least consulting Parliament.
Mr Cameron, who warned in a Sunday Telegraph article at the weekend that IS could target the UK unless action is taken, told BBC Breakfast there was a "political and extremism crisis" in Iraq that had a "direct effect" on the UK.
He said: "Britain is not going to get involved in another war in Iraq. We are not going to be putting boots on the ground. We are not going to be sending in the British Army."

He said Britain would "use the assets that we do have" and work with its allies and the Iraqi government.
The government would "look favourably" on a request for arms from Kurdish fighters, he added.
Mr Cameron has faced demands to recall Parliament, which is on its summer break, to discuss Iraq, but he later said: "We are not contemplating things that would require that."
The government's Cobra committee met on Monday to discuss the situation in Iraq. Afterwards Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond said: "There's no call for us to deliver air strikes at the moment. The US is delivering targeted air strikes and they're perfectly able to do what needs to be done."
A Downing Street spokesperson added that the humanitarian situation in the region "remains dire".
On Sunday, Kurdish forces - aided by US air strikes - were reported to have regained control of the strategically important Mosul dam after ousting IS militants. The facility was seized by IS earlier this month.

Whitehall has confirmed UK military flights began ferrying ammunition from eastern European countries to the Kurdish Regional Government from last week. The supplies are for front-line forces battling Islamic State in northern Iraq.
Austria, France and Germany are also sending military supplies to the Kurds.
Mr Fallon told military personnel on a visit to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus that the UK's role in Iraq had expanded beyond the original humanitarian mission to include intelligence-gathering.
"There may well now be in the next few weeks and months other ways that we may need to help save life [and] protect people and we are going to need all of you again and the surveillance you are able to give us," he said.

Mr Fallon said the RAF had now deployed the Rivet Joint surveillance aircraft alongside Tornado bombers to provide vital intelligence on IS movements across Iraq.
Troops from the 2nd Battalion Yorkshire regiment had been sent into the Kurdish capital Irbil for 24 hours to prepare the ground for a possible rescue mission by the helicopters.
They have now left but British special forces are still believed to be in northern Iraq.

Mr Fallon said Britain could also provide equipment such as body armour and night-vision goggles to Kurdish forces.
For Labour, shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander said: "It is important to understand the nature of the mission that British forces are now engaged in."
He called for "clarity" from the government but added: "We have supported the steps that the British government, along with other European allies, have taken."
Image copyright AP Image caption Shia Muslim refugees from Mosul eat at a refugee camp in Baghdad
Labour MP Ann Clwyd, who was special envoy to Iraq during the Blair government, told BBC News more clarity is needed.
She said: "Nobody is very clear, listening to the reports, what is actually going on. Are there troops already on the ground or are there not?
"We know the RAF has been very active, are there intelligence people on the ground or are there not?"
She raised particular concerns about thousands of Yazidi women apparently kidnapped in Iraq, adding: "Surely the intelligence services in this country could be used to locate these women."
And she questioned Mr Cameron's decision to go on holiday again, saying his absence was not "satisfactory" and describing the situation as a "mess".
Mr Cameron has defended his latest holiday, saying: "Wherever I am, wherever I am in the world I am always within a few feet of a BlackBerry and an ability to manage things should they need to be managed."
Thousands of Christians and Yazidis have fled their homes to escape IS fighters. IS has also persecuted Shia Muslims, whom it does not regard as true Muslims.
Kurdish officials said the next objective was to clear IS fighters from the Nineveh plain, north-west of Baghdad, "to ensure the return of minorities". | positive |

Buzz Osborne is a founding member of “rock” band the Melvins . Over the past 30 years, he’s played on more than 50 recordings on various major and minor labels, and performed over 2000 shows. In 2012 the Melvins became the first band to release three different records in the same year with three different lineups of the band, and did a spring tour of the U.S., a Canadian tour, and a London show with Slayer to 10,000 people, then played shows in all 50 states, plus DC, in a record-setting 51 days. You can follow the Melvins on Twitter here.
I love documentaries. I can watch a documentary about anything. But I didn’t have much interest in this one —I’ve had my fill of Kurt Cobain and Nirvana bios and documentaries, and stopped reading and watching them a long time ago. I don’t have a lot of happy memories about any of that stuff, and the nice things I do remember are clouded by a deeply depressing fog of pointless misery. Look how it all ended.
Nonetheless, I sat through Montage of Heck twice.
I went to high school with Kurt and was a big part of all the Nirvana guys’ lives before and after they became famous. I thought very highly of Kurt, Krist and Dave. We were good friends when they were all flat broke, long before they could buy big houses and cars with credit cards. My band played with Nirvana at their last show. I was there for the beginning and I was there for the end, for the very good and the very bad.
First off, people need to understand that 90% of Montage of Heck is bullshit. Total bullshit. That’s the one thing no one gets about Cobain — he was a master of jerking your chain.
For instance, I know the whole “I tried to fuck a fat retard” story is complete bullshit. Not even an inkling of truth. That’s too good a story to have gone this long without me hearing about it, especially if, as he suggests, the girl’s father freaked out about it at the high school. In that small-town shit-hole, exciting news of that nature would have been common knowledge before the sun set. It never happened. And the trying-to-kill-himself-on-the-train-tracks story is bullshit as well. It never happened either. There it is, though, told in a recording of Kurt’s own voice so it must be true…right? Wrong.
Kurt also told me there was absolutely nothing wrong with his stomach. He made it up for sympathy and so he could use it as an excuse to stay loaded. Of course he was vomiting — that’s what people on heroin do, they vomit. It’s called “vomiting with a smile on your face.”
At least they spared us the horrendously overblown tale of him living under a bridge in Aberdeen. Another bullshit story. As far as I know, Kurt never set foot under any bridge in that town, let alone lived under one. That whole idea is romanticized crazy-talk for glassy-eyed, stoned teenagers and pathetic, middle-aged, rock & roll morons.
And then there’s Courtney.
A lot of what she says in this documentary doesn’t exactly jibe with things Kurt told me himself, but I suppose that’s not surprising when you consider history becomes elastic every time Courtney Love opens her mouth.
For instance, she’d have us believe that Kurt tried to off himself when she’d only thought about cheating on him?
Wow. That’s a whole lot different from the stories he told me in regards to Courtney’s behavior — and this was well before he ended up dead. And that’s just one example.
When Courtney speaks, the truth is certainly there, but God only knows where it begins and ends. In the 20 years since Kurt’s death, the undisputed facts of some of her stories seem to change almost hourly. I remain unconvinced in regards to her testimony, and I don’t think I’m alone.
I find it amusing that the filmmakers never bothered to fact-check simple stuff like this, and just took Kurt and Courtney at their word. That’s a bit risky when you’re supposed to be making a behind-the-scenes documentary — but not surprising considering that not a lot of what’s out there about Kurt is the truth anyway. But no one seems to care. Unfortunately, it matters very little what the facts are; what matters is what people believe. And when it comes to Cobain, most of what they believe is fabricated nonsense. Montage of Heck does nothing to counter that. With that in mind, it’s really hard to take any of this film seriously.
After 49 minutes, I was ready for it all to be over, but Montage of Heck just went on and on, and oh, what a treat it was….
I got to see Kurt in creepy home movies, and Courtney nude, which, for me, was akin to staring into the sun. I got to see behind the curtain and right up close — two malodorous, doped-up rock & roll miscreants deeply fouling an unsuspecting apartment. Jesus! There stands a half-naked Kurt shaving, and right behind his back, his wife is parading around, showing off her naked breasts and pouting to the cameraman, who I’m guessing was Eric Erlandson, ex-Hole guitarist and Courtney’s former boyfriend. Really? Kurt probably had to deal with horseshit like that on a daily basis. My god, what a super-colossal drag.
I suppose this movie will be interesting for Nirvana completists, because it certainly reinforces their already twisted view of the man. I found it to be mostly misguided fiction.
Not a happy experience.
I did enjoy the really cool animation, though, and they did a fantastic job of showing what a depressing shit-hole Aberdeen really was and still is. For that, I salute them! | positive |

Also the effect of nickel element on the microstructure, the grain size and the phases type which are constructed in the produced alloys by alloying before and after heat treatment by using optical microscope and X-Ray diffraction test device have been studied then the hardness and tensile test were implemented and then the result showed: the alloy with the highest adding rate (5% wt) shows a better response than the other alloys for hardening in longer time period where it have been reached to highest hardness (125 H.V) in time period (4hr) at (220 ºC). While the empty alloy of nickel reached to highest hardness equals to (112 H.V) in a time period less than (2hr). The constructed phases in alloys have been specified after adding Ni element, where it indicated to the existence of the phase (Al7Cu4Ni) which is responsible for the slowliness which occurs in the alloy’s response to precipitation hardening procedure which leads to delay (longer time periode) to obtain a higher hardness. It also found that adding of nickel causes an increase and an improvement in the properties of the tensile strength, yield strength and elongation, which indicates that the presence of the nickel takes two ways part of it dissolve with Aluminum and copper to produce the phase (Al7Cu4Ni) which causes the slowing in the construction of the hardening phase (Al2CuMg), the other part causes refining grains size at the highest temperature degrees causing an increase in the strength and the hardness in a rate which is higher for the alloy’s that contain nickel in a comparison with the empty alloy of nickel.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio on Monday proposed raising taxes for the wealthiest New Yorkers to increase funding for the city’s deteriorating subway system.
His plan, an increase in the tax rate on an individual’s income above $500,000 to 4.41 percent from 3.876 percent, would also fund half-price bus and subway rides for up to 800,000 of the city’s poorest residents, he said.
The plan comes as the mayor and New York state’s governor, Andrew Cuomo, squabble over who is responsible for the nation’s largest subway system, which has suffered a surge in delays.
“Taking responsibility is the first step toward a solution,” de Blasio told a news conference, emphasizing that the system is controlled by the state.
Cuomo controls the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the state-run corporation that operates the subway and bus system. He has the power to close it down without consulting the mayor, as he did before a winter storm in 2015.
Cuomo says the city should contribute more from its own coffers since it technically owns the subway system, a point echoed by newly appointed MTA Chairman Joe Lhota.
“The good news is that Mayor de Blasio has acknowledged New York City’s significant ownership of the New York City Transit Authority and the fact that new funding is needed to modernize the subway system,” Lhota said in a statement. “The bad news is that the Mayor has not acknowledged that the MTA needs funding today.”
De Blasio, a Democrat, said his plan would raise an additional $700 million in 2018 for the subway and bus system, and that the additional revenue could be used to borrow more funding even sooner.

About 32,000 of the city’s wealthiest residents would see their taxes rise, de Blasio said. The plan would need approval from the Republican-controlled New York Senate, which is averse to tax increases.
The city contributes about $1.6 billion a year toward operating costs, on top of the nearly $6 billion that comes in from New Yorkers and visitors using the system. The city has also committed to giving about $2 billion toward the MTA’s $32.5 billion long-term improvement plans, while the state has committed about $9.3 billion.
Only 63 percent of subway trains have arrived on time this year, down from 85 percent six years ago, according to MTA data. In June, a subway derailment injured 34 people. | positive |
New York Rangers defenceman Kevin Klein is reportedly considering leaving the NHL and heading to Europe.
According to Larry Brooks of the New York Post, the 32-year-old is contemplating retirement from the NHL and has already held a going-away party.
Klein was a healthy scratch for 11 of the Rangers’ 12 Stanley Cup Playoff games and was limited to 60 regular season contests because of back issues.
The veteran blue-liner has one year and $2.75 million remaining on his contract, which comes with a $2.9 million cap hit.
Having Klein retire from the NHL would free up $2.9 million in cap space for the Rangers. He’s expected to be left unprotected by the Rangers in the upcoming expansion draft.
Klein was a second-round pick (37th overall) by the Nashville Predators in 2003 and spent parts of 10 seasons with the organization before being acquired by the Rangers for fellow defenceman Michael Del Zotto in January 2014.
Klein has 38 goals and 154 points in 627 NHL games. | positive |

Five months before unveiling his tax plan, President Donald Trump claimed it "is the biggest tax cut in history. This is bigger than Reagan. . . . This is actually bigger than Reagan tax cuts."
We warned readers at the time that there was no public proposal yet and that this was a dubious claim properly measured as a percentage of the country's gross domestic product.
Trump would repeat this misleading claim 16 more times before he actually revealed his plan to the public Sept. 27. In fact, the 16th time he said it was during remarks before traveling to Indiana for the speech: "We're going right now to Indiana. We're going to introduce a tax plan that's the largest tax cut, essentially, in the history of our country."
Yet nothing in the plan revealed that day offered clarity as to how it was "the largest tax cut in our country's history." Instead, he outlined four still-somewhat-vague proposals while repeating some golden-oldie false or misleading facts about taxes, which we fact-checked.
This tendency of Trump is all too familiar to The Fact Checker. He is quick to make claims full of superlatives -- the greatest this and the most beautiful that -- with little to no empirical evidence to support them.
Trump proposed deep tax cuts, but so far, he has released only a nine-page framework that would start negotiations with lawmakers. Yet since five months ago, he flatly proclaimed his plan "is actually bigger than Reagan tax cuts."
The Fact Checker has completed two-thirds of our year-long project analyzing, categorizing and tracking every false or misleading claim by Trump, as well as his flip-flops.
As of our latest update Tuesday, his 264th day in office, the president has made 1,318 claims during 263 days. He has averaged five claims a day, even picking up pace since the six-month mark. (Our full interactive graphic can be found here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/politics/trump-claims-database/?tid=a--inl&utm--term=.ddeae050eaa5 )
When you track Trump's claims so closely, it can often feel like deja vu. Trump has a tendency to repeat himself, and that includes his false or misleading claims.
With almost exactly 100 days left to go in our year-long project, Trump is inching ever closer to breaking 2,000 claims.
Many of Trump's most frequent claims in the last month were about taxes. He repeatedly claimed the United States pays the highest corporate taxes or that it is the highest-taxed country. The latter is false; the former is misleading, as the effective U.S. corporate tax rate (what companies end up paying after deductions and benefits) ends up being lower than the statutory tax rate.
Trump now claims that between $3 trillion and $5 trillion, perhaps even more, of profits are held overseas by U.S. companies. There is no official statistic, as Trump notes, but his high-end figure appears to be an exaggeration.
The Internal Revenue Service in 2012 said the figure was $2.3 trillion, and the Joint Committee on Taxation estimated it had risen to $2.6 trillion in 2015. There are other estimates as well, but none top $2.8 trillion.
Since our last update, we saw a surge of brand-new claims about hurricanes and the National Football League. In the last month, two destructive hurricanes hit Florida and Puerto Rico, and Trump pushed for NFL players to be penalized for protesting police brutality and racial inequality during the national anthem.
Trump repeatedly got basic facts wrong about Hurricane Irma in Florida and Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico. He claimed they made landfall as Category 5 storms -- the most destructive kind -- but they touched down as Category 4 and eventually reached Category 5 strength.
How strong a hurricane is when it makes landfall, and then how much strength it gains or loses, is an important distinction for weather disasters.
Trump exaggerated the progress of the federal government's relief efforts in Puerto Rico, the number of lives saved by the Coast Guard after Hurricane Harvey in Texas and the maximum wind speed of Hurricane Maria.
Trump often made false or exaggerated claims in his attacks against the NFL. He claimed multiple times that NFL ratings are "down massively" and "going way down" because of the players' protests during the national anthem before the game begins.
But this lacks context. The TV audience size for NFL games is down this year, but it's unclear exactly why.
"Average attendance at regular season NFL games last year was the highest since 2007, when the NFL set an record in attendance. The NFL says ticket sales are 'on par' with last year," according to the Associated Press.
And professional football games remain among the most-watched televised events, the AP reported.
Trump also repeatedly said the NFL protest "has nothing to do with race." But players and coaches who defended the protests said it was about racial injustice.
Trump blamed the NFL for not enforcing a rule "that's been in existence for a long time" requiring players to stand for the anthem. But it turns out, it wasn't a rule; the NFL said players are "encouraged but not required to stand for the national anthem" and that teams can use discretion.
Finally, in the last month, we saw the return of a curious talking point. As Trump publicly criticized Secretary of State Rex Tillerson's approach to confronting the growing North Korean nuclear threat, Trump bemoaned the lack of progress made in denuclearizing North Korea during the last 25 years.
In April, Trump claimed that since President Bill Clinton, every president "has been outplayed by this gentleman," referring to North Korea's Kim Jong-Un. Then, recently, Trump again made it seem like "Rocket Man" -- his nickname for Kim -- was in charge since Clinton.
Of course, that's not the case. It was misleading, as three different leaders (Kim, his father Kim Jong-il and grandfather Kim Il-sung) have led North Korea since Clinton's presidency. Kim is one of the most common Korean surnames.
Turns out, this was an instance where Trump glossed over key details to the point of inaccuracy -- another Trump tendency with which The Fact Checker is quite familiar. During a Saturday interview with former Arkansas governor Mike Huckabee, a Republican, Trump acknowledged there are three different Kims, but they have the "same attitude." Trump added, about Kim Jong-Un: "I think this one's the worst of the group."
So, mystery solved on the Kim front. Still, we are eager to get to the bottom of another head-scratcher -- whether Trump's tax plan is the "biggest tax cut in U.S. history." When the details are finally revealed, Trump's track record so far suggests his claim will once again fall short. | positive |
Merging and separating lines - Toon Boom Studio General Discussion - Toon Boom Community Toon Boom Community Merging and separating lines Retired Products Toon Boom Studio General Discussion Nikhil March 14, 2011, 1:32am #1 I’m using the contour editor to edit my lines. Sometimes, even though the lines overlap, the contour editor will treat them as two different lines, instead of as one continuous one. Is there a way to merge two lines? And is it possible to split it into two lines? Thanks. -Nick Lindsay_TBS March 14, 2011, 6:48pm #2 Hi there, If you select your lines and use the Flatten command from the Tools menu, this should merge your lines. Note, that two lines painted with different colours will not merge in the same way.

The “Don’t Get Smoked” rapper took to Instagram and shared a series of photos and videos with Raven, wondering how something like this could happen. He even shared a text from Raven and everything suggests that she took her own life. Never Be Able To Love Again… Antonio Valentino King, whose stage name is 600Breezy, mourned the death of his girlfriend Raven Jackson. The 30-years-old rapper took to Instagram and shared a series of pictures and videos with her. Presently, he is heartbroken and feels that he would never be able to love again. Even though 600Breezy hasn’t made an official statement, it appears like Raven committed suicide. Well, that’s what his caption and a text shared by Raven before her death reveal. In his Instagram post, the “24 Bars” rapper shared an adorable picture of the two and wrote: “Baby why would you do this to me, why would you do this to us 💔 I was coming back home I promised you I would. You just gone leave me forever? Do you know how many people love you raven? I would’ve never left if this was the outcome .” These lines clearly reveal that Raven took her own life. He continued by calling Raven his woman and his wife. He feels raged that she pushed him away like this and admitted that he did everything for her to make her feel alive. He concluded, “I’ll never be able to love again. I’ll see you soon baby. God help me please.” A Suicide Note By Raven… View this post on Instagram A post shared by Six-O-Breezo (@600breezy) Alongside these heartbreaking posts, 600Breezy also shared a text from Raven which appears to be a suicide note. In this message, Raven told Breezy that she’s is tired of struggling with bad thoughts, but was waiting for the right time to act. Raven admitted that she gave up on life a long time ago, and felt like she was hanging on a bridge. In her note, Raven took full responsibility for her actions and said these suicidal thoughts have been there even before she met Antonio and it’s something that she wanted. Before ending her life, she told Antonio that she’s been looking at their videos and pictures so she can take along the happy memories with her. She called living “overrated” and said she couldn’t get off the stress even though he is the best thing that happened to her in a long time. In the end, she wrote that he has every right to get angry at her but if he was there, he wouldn’t have understood her point of view. She had to end her life and it was her choice. Antonia captioned this post with some heartbroken words but told his fans that if they see anyone with mental damage, take their words seriously. He requested his fans to take depression and mental health seriously. Well, it’s more than clear that Raven committed suicide at a young age so she could be accepted and loved the way she deserves. Even though Raven is responsible for not loving her life, 600Breezy feels like it’s his fault and feels terrible about it.

I’ve been changing my diet, very slowly, for a while now. I try to eat local or organic produce, pastured eggs, grass-fed meat and foods with GMO-free labels whenever possible. I might sound like one of those mandatory label supporters, but I’m not.
I don’t care what you eat. Drink three cans of soda and a large processed pizza everyday if you want. Or fancy foods. Or only three grapes — one per meal. It’s your call.
This isn’t aimed at those against mandatory labeling. And this isn’t about whether or not GMOs are dangerous. Instead, I’m offering non-coercive ways to know what’s in your food, for those so desperate to know, without demanding labeling:
1. Do your research.
Visit company websites, look up blog reviews or forum discussions — even write the company a letter. And there is always an app or a website to use as a starting point. Applegate is an example of a company willing to answer concerned shoppers, as well as letting them know which of their products contain GMOs.
2. If you are really paranoid and really want to know — buy locally.
You can put a face and a name to those who grow your food. It’s a chance to ask questions. One farmer I go to picks vegetables and fruits from her garden right in front of me.
3. If you have trust issues — start your own garden.
If you don’t have the space, see if your area has community gardens or get a few friends together and start your own.
4. If cost is an issue, make trade-offs.
Eliminate one processed food and replace it with a healthy alternative. Shop the dirty dozen. See if you can find a local farm that may offer cheaper prices than in store.
But stop expecting others to do things for you. For example, the Non-GMO Project helps consumers find companies and restaurants that don’t have GMOs in their products. Great! They provide a way for consumers and producers who share common values to find each other without the government for the most part.
I think of it as seeing the glass half-full. I’m not spending my time searching the shelves avoiding products with GMOs, I’m focusing on those companies, farms and people who share my values.
I have a brain and I prefer to use it to come to my own decisions. I don’t need the government to tell me what is unhealthy for me and to ban ingredients on my behalf. Instead, if you want to know what’s in your food and where it is coming from, it’s up to you to find out. It’s not very hard to do either. | positive |

Dan Scavino, the White House social media director, broke the law when he lambasted a Congressman on social media, the Office of Special Counsel said in a letter today.
In April, Scavino tweeted that House Republican Justin Amash “is a big liability,” and he encouraged Trump supporters to defeat Amash in a primary vote.
.@realDonaldTrump is bringing auto plants & jobs back to Michigan. @justinamash is a big liability.#TrumpTrain, defeat him in primary. — Dan Scavino Jr. (@DanScavino) April 1, 2017
Some observers suggested the tweet, although innocuous by some examples from the current administration, may have violated a law called the Hatch Act. The act, from 1939, bars government officials from using their positions for campaigning purposes. According to a complaint filed with the White House Office of Special Counsel by the left-leaning watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, Scavino’s tweet crossed the line.
There were some questions, however, about how the law should be applied in the digital age. The tweet was sent on a Saturday, and from a personal account, muddying whether it was sent in an official White House capacity.
In its response to CREW, the Special Counsel’s Chief of the Hatch Act argued that it was a violation, and the office said it had sent a warning letter to Scavino, who was recently counseled on the issue. The office said it had not found any other violations on Scavino’s Twitter account, but wrote that, if it does, it “will consider such activity to be a willful and knowing violation of the law.” | positive |

The bilious reciprocal attacks of the opposing camps for the Democratic nomination are ceaselessly moving along. A return to facts and issues seems remote, to say the least. Some of the fallout and not a small amount of visible damage can be found by surfing the blogosphere. Reading comments in liberal blogs should give you an idea of the divisiveness of the campaign. The Clinton and Obama supporters are at each other’s throats as if there was no Republican Party, no Republican candidate John McCain, who by the way is considered quite electable by some Democrats, and no November general elections.
Take a closer look: In December still, the battle lines were mostly parallel to Party affiliation. Depending on how liberal or conservative a blog was, you were either a troll, or wearing a tinfoil hat. All of us and them were, of course, accused of drinking whatever kool-aid was the flavour of the day. The was a lot of happy slapping going on, but it was pretty much clear where the adversary was to be found. You would get exchanges like this:
good_golly Says:
December 31st, 2007 at 3:04 pm You know I could post volumes on the history of racism in the Democrat party; but I don’t want to take your post off-topic. Remember now, this one is about bashing Huckabee. Bash away. Bash away. Fools on the Hill Says:
December 31st, 2007 at 3:08 pm Who needs facts, when you’ve got Jesus on your side.
Here, however, is a recent and actually pretty civilized exchange on Huffingtonpost:
jaycal See Profile I’m a Fan of jaycal Obama is CORRUPT, his slogan of change an ILLUSION. 1) A houseowner wants to sell both a house and adjoining land. Obama can afford to buy only the house. No problem, the criminal Rezko to the rescue. Rezko pays full price for the land, whereas Obama gets a discount of $300,000 on the house. Nice to have criminal friends like this!!! (reference ABC News) 2) Exelon Corporation had not disclosed radioactive leaks at one of its nuclear plants in Illinois. Obama, a senator for Illinois introduces a bill to make disclosures mandatory. Seems like Exelon doesn’t like it. Each draft of the new bill by Obama goes more and more towards Exelon till disclosures end up being “voluntary”. What gives? How about $250,000+ donations by Exelon to Obama’s campaigns!!! Obama is not change, he is WASHINGTON BUSINESS AS USUAL. (reference New York Times) 3) Obama lies when he claims he did not know about Wright’s America-hating and racist views till it was revealed in the mainstream media in March 2008. As pointed out by New York Times, ABC etc. this is another lie. Obama attended Wright’s church for 20 years, was married by Wright, had his children baptized by Wright, and named his book “Audacity of Hope” after one of Wright’s sermons. People need to stop believing their fantasies about Obama and realize that Hillary is the one who has been fighting for them all along. All the way back to 1993 when she tried to introduce universal health care (before it became politically fashionable).

Or this one at Washington Post’s “The Trail”
Another defeat for the Hillarist Enemy! There’s no doubt Sen. Obama’s ready to face the Magoo Machine in the Fall and win! Too late for Dubya to wake up! He gave away the Congress to the Democrats in 06 and, now, he’s doing the same for the Presidency. Hope he enjoys the Reading Room at his Library at SMU.

*********************** If Democrats and the media select Obama as the candidate, he will
fail, and rightly so. Obama is AntiAmerican, AntiPatriotic, he won’t
wear the US flag on his body, he won’t put his hand on his heart for
the national anthem. If people choose Obama, they will experience the
Apocalypse. This video shows just one example of what the republicans are going to
do to Obama if he’s selected as the primary Democratic candidate: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-714997129077869382&q=Rev+Wright+%22God+Damn%22&total=21&start=

hundreds of churches in Chicago to choose from but Obama picked the
one with a racist preacher who is anti-American and anti-Israel. This
guy makes Louis Farrakhan look like Hello Kitty and we’re going to
have a field day with this.”” http://blog.washingtonpost.com/sleuth/2008/03/obama_reacts_to_controversial.html Posted by: NqBxt5PQj66Yk8yw | March 15, 2008 10:33 PM
Even if some of the alleged Hillary Clinton supporters may be members of the Ann Coulter – Republicans, who’d rather support Hillary Clinton than John McCain. Even if some may be Republicans making mischief on purpose, it is still disturbing how deeply divisive this campaign has become for the Democratic Party. It is hard to imagine reconciliation, if this goes on for very much longer. Certainly by August, if not already, there will be enough porcelain shattered to seriously endanger any chances any of the two will have to win the general election. | positive |
Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush on Thursday broke with GOP leaders on the issue of replacing Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who died last week.
Asked whether he would nominate someone to the court if he had 11 months remaining in his term as president -- a situation President Barack Obama finds himself in now -- Bush said he "probably would."
"I'm an Article II guy," the former Florida governor said during a CNN town hall in South Carolina, referring to a president's constitutional power to nominate Supreme Court justices.
But, Bush added, it would be "better" for Obama's successor to make the nomination because of the slim likelihood that a divided Senate would confirm any nominee.
“Why not allow it to be part of the election?" Bush asked, arguing that the American people ought to have a say on the matter.
Obama has said he plans to nominate a successor to Scalia within weeks.
Within hours of the justice's sudden death on Saturday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) declared that the Senate wouldn't even hold hearings on a potential replacement. That hardline position was echoed Republican presidential candidates, including Sens. Ted Cruz (Texas) and Marco Rubio (Fla.), and by most vulnerable GOP senators up for re-election in November. | positive |
Google wants to prove to advertisers that there's a direct correlation between someone seeing a search ad and then going into a brick-and-mortar store.
The tech giant is rolling out a new tool today called "store visits" that gives marketers some insight into which types of search ads—which include local inventory and product listings ads—motivate people to go to a store.
Google's store visits tool uses an algorithm to estimate how many people went into a store as a result of seeing an ad within 30 days. In turn, advertisers are given anonymous data (meaning that it doesn't pinpoint specific users) that is collected from smartphone owners who have turned on their location history.
To qualify for the new tool, Google advertisers need to verify their location with the search giant and set up location extensions in an AdWords account. Store visit info is only available to U.S. advertisers and will gradually be rolled out within the next few months.
The data only gives brands an educated guess on how many people actually acted after seeing an ad, but it's already got the attention of Famous Footwear CMO Will Smith.
"The insight that we're getting from our partners at Google are really showing that the influence of online advertising is in fact not only getting people to shop on famous.com but to shop our stores across the country as well," he said.
Since beginning to test the ads a year ago, roughly 15 to 17 percent of the clicks on Famous Footwear's ads result in an in-store visit, the company said. With that insight, the brand is able to mix up the products it promotes and its in-store merchandising strategies by region through search campaigns.
Office Depot has also used shopping promos on Google to understand which products people look for online before going into a store.
The store visit tool is one of three measurement resources that Google has rolled out over the past year—collectively dubbed Estimated Total Conversions—that are aimed at helping marketers measure how search ads drive offline sales. Phone calls and cross-device measurement tools have previously been available to marketers as conversion tools.
The idea is to capitalize on brick-and-mortar stores, which still make up the majority of retail sales. Forrester Research predicts that e-commerce will grow $150 billion by 2018, but offline retail will increase by $300 billion.
Additional research from Google earlier this year found that 32 percent of consumers visit a store or make a purchase after seeing a location-based ad.
In a blog post, Google director of product management Surojit Chatterjee said, "Getting better insight into these new, complex purchase paths can help you optimize your online marketing programs, design better experiences for your customers and allocate budget more effectively." | positive |
The core library of Udon is basically finished (see my previous post for a sketch of what udon is). It needs cleanup, documentation, and a quickcheck suite, but the functionality is there and working in my small tests. I have begun udon-shell, which is a way you can interact with udon objects from the command line. Mostly it’s just a way to test things, but may become an integral helper tool for the more complex tools to come.
My favorite thing about the Udon core is that there is nary a mention of IO anywhere. It is a purely functional core, the way I was told real software is written when I was a Haskell child. :-)
So, where to go from here? I have two projects in mind, which may just be one project. One of them is to make a version control system which blurs the idea of a “project”, so I don’t care whether it’s one or two. The beautiful thing about this library is that I can model these projects in a purely functional way (as long as I don’t reference any functions in my persistent data structures), and the persistence and distributedness comes for free.
Here is how I picture the “cabal file” for the package manager.
type PackageName = [String] -- list of components type ImportList = [(PackageName, PackageName)] -- use module Foo, name it Bar data Package = Package { name :: String, -- whatever you want, no thought involved, rename at will depends :: [(ExtRef Package, ImportList)], ... }
Which is the essence. That packages are referred two by reference rather than by name, and modules from a package are explicitly imported and can be renamed to avoid conflicts. I’m not worrying about how this interacts with the state of the ghc art; it’ll work out.
I’ll come back to this in a bit. First I want to talk about smart versioning.
Smart versioning has little to do with Udon, but as long as I’m making a version control system I might as well play with it (though I doubt I have the attention span to carry it to its full potential). There are more types of content than just text and directories. For example, one might write a “Haskell source” plugin which understands Haskell source code, rather than just seeing it as a collection of lines. Then you could tell the plugin about the refactors you do, such as renaming a function. If that change is merged with a version from before that change, any true references to that function will get renamed (but shadows of that name would remain).
Taking this further, say there were a “Haskell package” content type. Then if you broke backward compatibility between two versions, you would annotate how. If it’s something simple like a renaming, the package manager could automatically upgrade your project to work with the new version. If it’s something complex like the semantics of a function, it could see if you ever used that function and mark the locations in your code that needed to be updated.
Such patch abstractions, which are of course custom depending on the content type, could be the basis for the version contol system. I think Darcs does this kind of thing too, I’m not sure. But I use git’s “object identity” theory rather than Darcs’s patch theory.
So, given smart versioning patches, what is a proper package spec?
I want to support:
A package allowed to depend on multiple versions of another, with forward compatibility as I just described.
compatibility as I just described. Splitting a package into two.
Merging two packages into one.
Renaming stuff (of course).
A package can vary by any combination of its dependencies. My hunch is that there should be a different object for each combination of dependencies (together with versions). But we don’t store all of them. Instead we store a root package, presumably depending on whatever precise versions of dependencies it was developed with, and then derive the package for other sets of dependencies using package diffs. To ensure robustness, a test suite should be included in the package to make sure the derivations were correct (though diffs ought to be pretty sure of themselves to begin with).
As scary as it might seem, this is already better than cabal. With cabal, the package makes some wild declaration about which versions of its dependencies it can support. And it can lie. There is no automated test that checks whether it told the truth, there is no way to inform a package with dependencies too liberal that the semantics of a function changed while its type stayed the same (thus introducing subtle bugs). Basically for cabal to work, you should have checked a package against every dependency you declare. But nobody does that.
Also, what of the case where a package needs modification between two versions of one of its dependencies. You have to resort to gross conditional compilation stuff.
Hmm, a troublesome case comes to mind. Suppose the case I just described happens, where foo depends on bar. foo-A works with bar-A, and foo-B works with bar-B. Now I find a bug in foo. I don’t want to have to fix it twice. So let’s say I fix it in foo-A. What happens to foo-B? How does it get the fix.
Well, this is a purely functional package manager, so I can’t really fix it in foo-A. So let’s say I fix foo-A and it becomes foo-A’. Then what I need to do to foo-B to fix it is apply the patch foo-A’/foo-A, to get foo-B’. Hmm, I guess that’s it. It will be tricky for a package author to keep this dependency information coherent for other packages to use.
Okay, I need to get to bed. Final sketch: packages do not refer to other versions of themselves. They stand alone, referring to their dependencies by exact version. Then edges (noodles?) are published, together with a possible “upgrade direction” (you always want the target of this edge if you can). Then some clever algorithm tries to upgrade the package and packages that depend on it. If one of the dependents fails, you can try it with an appropriate edge for the dependent (if one exists).
Hmm, a nice thing this solves is the ability to resolve (to some extent) that horrid dependency on multiple versions of the same package, by renaming one of the versions to something else. Then it is apparent and resolvable, at least, when you are treating two types from different versions as equal when they are not.

Over the past few years, Hollywood profits have taken a dip, forcing the industry to rethink how it makes money. This is largely due to the rise in popularity of streaming platforms, such as Netflix and Amazon, but also involves “blockbuster fatigue,” meaning movie-going audiences have become bored of the same formulaic plots playing out on the big screen, time after time.
In an effort to invent new and creative ways to keep turning a profit, Hollywood executives have looked to an unlikely partner: China. As the most populous nation in the world, China holds huge potential as a movie market and boasts the highest number of movie screens worldwide.
While cultural tastes may be too disparate for all-out film collaboration, there may be a new model that can mutually profit Chinese and Hollywood movie industries. For example, “Wolf Warrior 2,” a 2017 Chinese blockbuster that used tech and stunt expertise from America, was a huge success in China and the second-highest grossing film in a single market of all time. | positive |
The Colorado Decides debate series, co-produced by CBS 4 and Colorado Public Television, continues this Friday at 9:00pm on Channel 12 with a debate featuring both sides of the Amendment 64 ballot issue which would legalize marijuana possession for adults in Colorado.
The debate was filmed on Thursday, so I hope to provide a sneak peek into the key points of the debate and hopefully encourage you to check out the entire debate yourself.
The first detail that you should be aware of is that this is really the only major statewide decision that all Colorado voters will have a voice in deciding this year. Besides the Presidential race, and some smaller more obscure ballot measures, Amendment 64 is the only issue that every Coloradan will have a say on this fall.
So since this decision belongs to all of us, it is our collective responsibility to really know what the issue would do and to consider if it is the best thing for Colorado.
One of the more interesting aspects of the issue is the effect of marijuana on the Colorado brand. Opponents claim that making Colorado the first state in the country to fully legalize marijuana would hurt tourism and business as people would avoid a state known first for marijuana. That argument is actually exactly what Governor John Hickenlooper said when he announced that he was against the measure.
But our conversation turned to how Colorado is already known for its medical marijuana laws, and how to some, we have already quasi-legalized marijuana. This did not totally address the branding question raised by opponents, but it did bring up another good talking point.
With Colorado already legalizing the use of medical marijuana, would fully legalizing it make a major difference, or have we already legalized enough for those who wish to use it?
This part of the discussion is likely where many of the undecided voters in Colorado are at with this issue. Amendment 64, like the presidential race, have fairly large groups already firmly in one camp or the other, with a small group of undecided voters still trying to make up their minds.
If we were voting to legalize marijuana without the experience of seeing the reality of medical marijuana, the campaigns on both sides would be far different. Our collective experience with medical marijuana gives Colorado a unique perspective on this issue.
Before you place your vote, I encourage you to learn more about this important issue and tune in for the debate. Our hosts, Eric Sondermann and CBS 4’s Rick Sallinger do a great job of getting real answers from both sides. With Amendment 64 being one of the only statewide decisions we will make this year, it has earned our attention.
Also, stay tuned in October as CBS 4 and Colorado Public Television bring you debates with the candidates running in the major Congressional races in Colorado.About The Blogger

Pet therapy can help with stress – here’s an overview of the proven health benefits of animal-assisted therapy, or even just simply having a pet in the home. Dr. Doni talks about “stress remedies” – activities that help us manage stress, and specifically the value of animals as healers. Throughout this blog series I’ve talked about various types of stress and the ways in which it affects our health including adrenal distress, digestive imbalances, and turning on genetic predispositions. Once these disruptions set in, it is only a matter of time before symptoms begin to occur such as fatigue, pain, anxiety, heartburn, bloating, weight gain, PMS, elevated blood sugar levels, frequent or chronic infections, allergies, and insomnia. It can be a snowball effect; the more disruption you experience from stress, the more likely health issues are to develop. So, whether you’re experiencing mild or more severe symptoms, I encourage you to address not just the symptoms, but the overall effect of stress as well. Help Your Body Recover, Even If You’re Stressed Many patients ask me if they’ll be able to improve their health even though they have a stressful job or a busy schedule. While in some cases it is necessary to take some time off in order to give your body a chance to come back to an un-stressed state, it is possible to recover, little by little, while still living a relatively stress-filled life. Today I want to explore a concept I refer to as “stress remedies.” These are activities that have been shown to help your body recover from stress. I wrote all about them and the research that supports the concept in my short ebook, Stress Remedies. At first, it may be hard to imagine these activities can make that much of a difference or how you can possibly find the time to incorporate them into your day, but I’m here to say they do make a difference – so it is worth making time in your schedule to implement them even and especially amidst a storm of stress. I know this not just based on the research, but from trying them out for myself, too. I’m going to share information about various stress remedies over the coming weeks, starting today with animals. Pet therapy, or animal-assisted therapy as it is called in research, was first studied in the 1960s by Dr. Boris Levinson, a child psychologist who found that having his dog in sessions helped his patients. However, it is also said that Florence Nightingale and Sigmund Freud found much earlier that pets helped in their care of patients. Animals Rescue Us Research into pet therapy for both adults and children has surged in recent years and has found that animals help humans to decrease pain, anxiety, depression, and fatigue. Studies of animals in nursing homes show a decrease in loneliness and having a pet is known to decrease heart disease risk, increase survival after a heart attack, and decrease the need for medical intervention after stressful life events. The evidence overall indicates that, just as animals respond to people’s attention, they equally have a calming influence on us that can help our healing. (Find references to studies below) I grew up with pets – we always had a dog and a cat or two – and I found them to be essential to how I dealt with experiences of stress, which included frequent moves. As my father was promoted in the company he worked for, we moved to various towns in Oregon, Washington, Colorado, and California. Having pets helped me through 10 moves by the time I graduated from high school. Now this too, has unintentionally become part of my approach as our current cat, Jasmine, offers pet therapy to patients (she’s the one in the image above, by the way!). She was only content when she was allowed to stay in the office and we soon noticed that she seemed to get excited when patients came in. She would get up from her nap and go over to welcome people when they arrived. We started to realize that it was not just that she preferred humans but that people, including children, enjoyed having her as part of their care. We Rescue Animals, Too My daughter Ella and I became involved with animal rescue about 6 years ago when we moved to Long Island. As animal lovers we couldn’t help but notice the feral cats and kittens roaming the neighborhood and it didn’t take long for us to figure out that it was very difficult to find homes for them all – especially the black ones – and that the pet shelters in the area were all full. My daughter Ella with Kiwi, a rescue cat. We learned how to use cat traps and planned out where we could take the cats we caught to be spayed or neutered. Then we hung fliers at local businesses to try and find them homes. We succeeded in finding homes for some, and released others after having them fixed. We continue to care for a number of cats we have rescued (some indoor and some outdoor). Of course, we provide grain-free food and use herbs and natural approaches for their health when they need it. Because the existing animal shelters were beyond capacity, we started our own. And my business contributes to their care. Ella and I can’t imagine life without animals. In addition to Jasmine and the rescued cats, we have a dog, a rabbit, and a snake. As the research indicates, they help us manage the daily stresses of life – and bring us a lot of joy. Closing Thoughts Now you don’t necessarily need to take it as far as creating an animal shelter in your home. What I do suggest is that, as long as you are not allergic, you consider the benefits of having an animal in your life. If you are thinking of bringing a cat or other animal into your home, I would ask that you consider choosing an animal from a shelter. To learn more about steps you can take to de-stress and live your passion, you may be interested in my short ebook, Stress Remedies, which is available at Amazon for 99 cents. All the proceeds from this book go to supporting the feral cats we care for. If you’d like help implementing diet, exercise, sleep, and stress strategies to benefit your health – based on over 16 years of experience and thousands of patients – you may want to check out the Stress Remedy Program I have developed, in 7- or 21-day options. I’m excited for you to experience the benefits of the Stress Remedy Program, which is the first and only program of its kind to address adrenal health, leaky gut, and blood sugar imbalances all at once. And if you find that you need more one-on-one support, especially if you are experiencing a number of the symptoms I mentioned above, then I recommend you meet with a naturopathic doctor who can guide you. To learn more about the consultation options I offer, including a Wellness Package to help you with your health, please visit this page. In my upcoming articles, I plan to explore more Stress Remedies, including meditation – I’m going to tell you all about a course I’m taking this fall – and exposure to nature. There is not one right activity for everyone, and yet by choosing to do some of these activities even just a little bit each day, you’ll be doing a good thing for your health for now and into the future. Read those posts here. To be sure and receive my next articles, you can sign up for my weekly e-newsletter here. And you’ll receive a free ebook to help you with recovering from stress.

San Jose Sharks defenseman Jason Demers actually wore this to their game against the Ottawa Senators on Saturday night (s/t Jeff Adams):

This was captured by CBC’s cameras, but the network labeled Demers as teammate Matt Nieto, even though Nieto is sans beard at this point in the season.
We’ll go ahead and assume this incredible fuchsia suit is related to October being Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with NHL teams rocking some pink to support the cause. In fact, Demers recently visited El Camino oncology center, calling the experience a “humbling” one.”
We know what you’re asking: Did Demers out-suit Don Cherry tonight?
Compare and contrast:
We’ll give the victory to Demers.

Shazmin (a rising senior at the Bronx High School of Science) and Jaymi (a junior at Glen Ridge High School) met during the summer program at GWC in New York City.
Seventeen-year-old Shazmin and 15-year-old Jaymi are two New York high school students currently killing the game as a part of Girls Who Code , an organization that works to provide young women with the skills to pursue opportunities in the STEM fields.
For their final project the duo created Bias Breaker , an RPG-style game that addresses the lack of representation in media and attempts to break down sexist, racist, and anti-gay stereotypes.
"When thinking of a problem to address with our game, the first thing that came to us was the lack of diversity in media. At the same time, though, we didn't want the game to be too serious," Shazmin told BuzzFeed News. "We thought it would be funny if we took 'breaking stereotypes' in a literal sense."
The users shoot bullets at the bad guys — green blobs that go along with a stereotypes such as "bisexuals are confused"" or "all Asians are good at math."
When the bad guys are hit by a bullet, both the blob and the accompanying stereotype disappears. However, if users are hit by a stereotype, then the character loses health. Once they lose health, they lose the game!
"Due to the time restraint we had and a lot of other problems when first creating the game, we couldn't implement features that we wanted — such as having a console at the bottom of the screen explaining why a stereotype is bad once it's destroyed," Shazmin explained. The game is not currently available on any domain, but the pair plan to continue working on it even though their program is over.
"Through the process of making this game I learned a lot about the game development process, how some ideas change and blossom and how some ideas never get to come to fruition," said Jaymi. To bring Bias Breaker into reality the team worked with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript among other tools. | positive |

Atlantis will not return for a third series.
The fantasy drama will not be re-commissioned once the current run has finished airing, Digital Spy has learned.
BBC/Urban Myth Films Ltd/Ray Burmiston/Alicia Kulikowski
Speaking exclusively to DS, a BBC spokesperson said: "The final seven episodes of Atlantis will transmit on BBC One in spring. We would like to thank Urban Myth Films and all the cast and crew but the series will not be re-commissioned.
"We are very proud of both series but to keep increasing the range of BBC One drama we have to make difficult decisions to bring new shows through."
Urban Myth Films
The second series of Atlantis is comprised of 13 episodes - the first six aired late last year before the show went on hiatus, while an exact date for the final seven is yet to be confirmed.
The series, inspired by ancient Greek myths, starred Jack Donnelly as Jason, Mark Addy as Hercules and Robert Emms as Pythagoras. It was devised by Merlin's Johnny Capps and Julian Murphy and Misfits creator Howard Overman.

Conservationists fear Hong Kong’s unique dolphins are at risk of disappearing due to loss of habitat and pollution from two major construction projects
Conservationists have warned that projects to expand Hong Kong’s airport and build a new bridge to Macau could result in the loss of the city’s beloved “pink” dolphins.
Dolphin numbers have declined sharply in Hong Kong harbour over the past few decades, and campaigners fear that the large-scale construction work will drive the mammals away for good.
How humans are driving the sixth mass extinction Read more
The Chinese white dolphin – popularly known as the pink dolphin due to its pale pink colouring – draws scores of tourists daily to the waters north of Hong Kong’s Lantau island.
It became Hong Kong’s official mascot for the handover ceremony in 1997, when Britain returned the territory to China. But despite the affection felt towards the dolphin, there may soon be none left.
The proposed construction of a third runway at Hong Kong’s busy Chek Lap Kok airport could be the nail in the coffin, according to campaigners.
“We think that if that project goes ahead, then it will probably drive the dolphin away from Hong Kong waters,” said Samuel Hung, chairman of the Hong Kong Dolphin Conservation Society, who has been going out to sea at least twice a week to monitor dolphin activity for almost 20 years.
“In some ways it seems like we are pushing them closer and closer to the edge of the cliff and if we’re making that final push, they will be gone forever. I think now is the time to get our act together.”
Hung says there are only around 60 dolphins left in Hong Kong waters – a drop from 158 in 2003.
“The dolphin decline is caused by a number of factors, including overfishing and environmental pollution... but I think the major contribution is coming from the increase of high-speed ferry traffic,” Hung said.
The dolphins have either gone to neighbouring Chinese waters or may have died off, he said.

Dolphin habitats have already been affected by the ongoing construction of a 50km bridge connecting Hong Kong to the gambling enclave of Macau.
The bridge looms on the horizon behind the village of Tai O, on the western tip of Lantau island, from where dozens of dolphin tours go out daily.
“Since the construction of the bridge in 2012 the situation has worsened,” says Hung, who blames land reclamation encroaching on dolphin habitats and continuing construction creating disturbance.
The WWF recently placed volunteers on the dolphin-spotting boats to tell tourists about the problems the animals are facing.
“Pollution is quite serious in the air and water... We worry about the marine life being affected,” said Hong Kong bank worker Yeung Ka-yan, 30, after taking a short boat trip.
“We were a little disappointed,” added her boyfriend, a 26-year-old chef from Taiwan, after failing to spot any dolphins – a scenario that could become all too common in the years ahead if conservationists’ fears are realised.
Dolphin-watching accounts for 10 % of Tai O’s tourism business.
The government said that potential impacts the proposed third-runway could have on the pink dolphins had been “properly assessed and addressed”.
“To compensate for the permanent loss of Chinese white dolphin habitats arising from the land formation works, the designation of a new marine park of approximately 24ha in the waters north of the third-runway project has been proposed,” the statement from the agriculture, fisheries and conservation department said.
But campaigners criticised the plan, saying the marine park would not be established until at least 2023, when reclamation work for the third runway is expected to finish.
“We don’t even know whether the dolphin can hang on and survive and wait,” Hung said.
“We have been following some of them for nearly 20 years so those are our old friends.
“They don’t realise that there is more disaster waiting for them.” | positive |

The Festival has been traditionally held in September every year since 1995 and its attendance to date has exceeded 50 thousand spectators. The Festival aims to introduce the Greek audience to films of the independent world cinema and to show avant-premieres of films. According to the organizers, more than half of the visitors are in the age group from 25 to 44 years. Six out of ten are men and there are a significant number of cinema-goers coming to Athens specifically to enjoy the films from the selection of "Opening Nights Cosmote." "We decided to hold the festival this year too because we are tired of hearing the word ‘crisis’ and of living as characters of a film devoted to a catastrophe," the artistic director of the event Orestis Andreadis said at a press conference on the opening of "Opening Nights Cosmote." It will show avant-premiere films like "Amour" by Michael Haneke "On the Road" by Walter Salles The anticipated "Cosmopolis" by David Cronenberg and "Beasts of the Southern Wild", which promises to win many Oscars This year, the selection of the Athens International Film Festival includes the Bulgarian film "Faith, Love + Whiskey" directed by the young Kristina Nikolova. It will be shown at ODEON Opera cinema on 57, Akadimias Street in the heart of Athens, at 1 pm on 26 September and at 6:30 pm on 27 September. "Faith, Love + Whiskey" is the directorial debut of Kristina and tells the story of the young Bulgarian girl Nelly, who decided to leave the United States and her American fiancée in order to return to her roots and to an old friend from the past called Val. Hopeless, passionate love flares. Then there comes the moment when Nelly must decide whether she wants to dive into the crazy life of her Bulgarian past or to follow the beaten track with her American fiancé. The film has its comic and dramatic moments and its first prize "Kodak Vision" for best cinematographer - Alexander Stanishev, from the Slamdans Festival 2012. The film stars Anna Stoyanovska and the well-known in Bulgaria actor and director Valeri Yordanov. "Faith, Love + Whiskey" will compete in the international competition of the festival in Athens. The event will open on 19 and will run to 30 September. The ticket price is between four and six euro and 2,000 free tickets have been provided for holders of unemployed cards from labour offices.

Why Was Horse Disqualified? (Question) - Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Skip to content Equine Assisted Psychotherapy Home What is Equine Therapy? Why Use Horses for Therapy? Horses Horse racing What to feed? Equipment Parasite control EAL vs. EAP Therapy Associations Our privacy policy Cookie agreement Author Menu Why Was Horse Disqualified? (Question) Posted on 28.02.2022 Author Owen BolonePosted in Horse racingLeave a Reply Maximum Security was disqualified from winning the 2019 Kentucky Derby for dangerously impeding the paths of others, but the last time a horse was dethroned for a prohibited substance was Dancer’s Image in 1968. More: What happens to bets placed on Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit after positive drug test? When a horse is disqualified before the race begins, it’s usually because of some kind of interference with another horse. In most cases, a horse interferes with another and costs him placing. When a race starts, the horses break from the gate at massive speeds and it’s not uncommon for them to bang in each other. Why was the Kentucky Derby winner disqualified? Medina Spirit, the winner of the 2021 Kentucky Derby before being disqualified for multiple failed drug tests, died of an apparent heart attack suffered during a morning workout at Santa Anita Park Monday morning, CBS Los Angeles reports. Was the Kentucky Derby horse disqualified? Medina Spirit’s positive drug test after the Kentucky Derby has been confirmed, setting the stage for the colt trained by Bob Baffert to be the second horse in the 147-year history of the race to be disqualified as its winner because of a failed drug test. What happens when a horse is disqualified? The question is, what happens to your bet when a horse you’ve had a punt on gets disqualified? The short answer is that you lose your stake. Some promise to payout on the winner of some or all races even if your horse gets disqualified after the end of the run. Was Medina Spirit stripped of Kentucky Derby win? The post-race test identified 21 picograms per milliliter of betamethasone, an anti-inflammatory that can be used to relieve joint pain in horses, which is more than twice the allowed amount within 14 days of the race in Kentucky. What happens to bets if Medina Spirit is disqualified? A: Unfortunately, you’re out of luck again. Even if Medina Spirit is disqualified, all pari-mutuel wagers were settled once the race became official. Did Medina Spirit test positive for drugs? After the Kentucky Derby on May 1, Medina Spirit tested positive for betamethasone, an anti-inflammatory drug that isn’t permissible to be in a horse’s system on race day. Did Medina Spirit pass the second drug test? Medina Spirit is a step closer from having his win in the Kentucky Derby disqualified. A second post-race drug test for Medina Spirit reportedly came back positive for betamethasone, according to Joe Drape of The New York Times. The first positive test for Medina Spirit was revealed May 9. What happens to bet money if a horse is disqualified? Bob Heleringer, author of “Equine Regulatory Law,” told The Courier Journal when the owners of Maximum Security were attempting to overturn that horse’s disqualification as the 2019 Kentucky Derby winner that once a race is official, the betting results are final, regardless of mistakes by the track or an appeal. Do you get your money back if your horse doesn’t run? your bet stake will be refunded if your horse fails to compete. After a race becomes Non-Runner No Bet, any Future Racing bets placed on the Win or Each-Way market will be refunded if your selection does not run. What happens if you bet on mandaloun? There will be no refunds, and no awards to anyone still holding a Mandaloun ticket. “All bets will stand as settled,” said John Ewing, data analyst for BetMGM. “The race result has already been determined official and paid. Disqualifications from positive drug tests will not change the results.” Did the 2021 Kentucky Derby winner get disqualified? Medina Spirit, the winner of the 2021 Kentucky Derby before being disqualified for multiple failed drug tests, died of an apparent heart attack suffered during a morning workout at Santa Anita Park Monday (December 6) morning, CBS Los Angeles reports. What is betamethasone used for in horses? WHY IS BETAMETHASONE USED FOR HORSES? A. It is a steroid used to reduce inflammation in the horse’s joints and is not considered a performance enhancing drug. But it can give horses an advantage over those without betamethasone in their system who wouldn’t feel the therapeutic effects while racing. Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit disqualified; trainer Bob Baffert suspended for 90 days Bob Baffert, the horse’s Hall of Fame trainer, was barred from all Kentucky racing facilities for 90 days and fined $7,500 as a result of the incident. In accordance with his legal team, Baffert, whose horses had previously won the Derby six times before last year, will appeal the verdict. Baffert was suspended for two years by Churchill Downs Inc., the organization that organizes the Kentucky Derby, in June. The prohibition will be in effect from March 8 through June 5, according to Monday’s judgment, which applies to all facilities in the state that fall under the jurisdiction of the KHRC. We look forward to commemorating Mandaloun at a future date in a manner that is worthy of this uncommon accomplishment,” the statement said. Medina Spirit died unexpectedly in December following an exercise at the Santa Anita racecourse in California, according to the owners. The decision by the KHRC came a week after the commission held a closed hearing during which an attorney for Baffert, Clark Brewster, argued that the dosage of the anti-inflammatory medication betamethasone administered by Medina Spirit did not violate state rules because of the manner in which it was administered. The following were the unrefuted and undisputed facts established at the hearing: (1) Medina Spirit was treated with an ointment rather than an injection; (2) the trace amount of betamethasone detected could not have affected the horse in any way; and (3) the trace amount of betamethasone detected could not possibly have affected the outcome of the race. They were unconvinced. In the meanwhile, those who placed wagers on Mandaloun’s victory had little recourse; the stewards stated that parimutuel wagering “is not affected by this judgement.” “We are disappointed, but not surprised, by the Commission’s decision,” Brewster said in a statement. The disqualification of Monday’s Kentucky Derby winner was the third time this had happened to a Derby winner, and the second time it had happened because of a doping infraction. The matter was not fully resolved until the owner of Dancer’s Image agreed to drop his legal battle with the race’s organizers five years later. The Kentucky Derby is scheduled to take place on May 7th this year. In a statement released Monday (via the Baltimore Sun), Mike Hopkins, executive director of the Maryland Racing Commission, stated that his organization will reciprocate the Kentucky suspension if it is affirmed on an appeal. Additionally, Baffert faces the prospect of a suspension in New York, where a ban on him imposed by the state’s racing association last year was temporarily lifted by a federal judge. In connection with the matter, an administrative hearing was held last month, and a final judgment is pending. According to an analysis of racing data conducted by The Washington Post in 2021, Baffert-trained horses were responsible for 29 drug offenses over a 44-year period leading up to the Kentucky Derby. Later, Baffert stated that his staff followed guidelines regarding how long before race day the substance should be stopped being administered. He also complained that the level detected in Gamine was “a minuscule amount that would not affect a 1,000-pound animal,” but ultimately decided not to appeal the ruling. Medina Spirit disqualified from 2021 Kentucky Derby win, Bob Baffert suspended 90 days Despite more than nine months of delay, litigation, and laboratory testing, the 2021 Kentucky Derby finally saw at least a temporary resolution on Monday, when stewards disqualified Medina Spirit and penalized the deceased colt’s Hall of Fame trainer, Bob Baffert, for a period of nine months. The disqualification had appeared inevitable to racing officials since Kentucky racing standards allow for no measurable betamethasone in a horse’s system on race day, according to the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission. Their argument failed to persuade the audience. 14, the three stewards who were adjudicating the case – Barbara Borden, Brooks Becraft, and Tyler Picklesimer – issued rulings disqualifying Medina Spirit, ordering the Derby purse to be redistributed, and fining Baffert $7,500 on top of his 90-day suspension. It is clear that Bob Baffert’s fate was decided before we ever sat down for a hearing before the three stewards, one of whom is directly employed by Churchill Downs as the racing director at Turfway Park,” the statement reads. “We will appeal, and we will succeed when the facts and regulations are given to detached, unbiased decisionmakers,” said the attorney general of California. Runner-up Mandaloun on track to become Kentucky Derby winner In the meantime, Mandalounstands to become the winner of Derby 147 and further improve the career and net wealth of Louisville trainer Brad Cox, who had already established a North American earnings record in 2021 with $31 million in rewards. Brewster added that an appeal has already been filed. The Derby winner will take home $1.86 million in prize money. Cox would also profit from the promotion of fourth-place finisher Essential Quality to third place behind trainer Doug O’Neill’s Hot Rod Charlie, which would put him in third place. We look forward to commemorating Mandaloun’s Kentucky Derby victory at a later date in a manner befitting of this unique accomplishment, according to the statement. Churchill Downs intends to replace the paddock sign commemorating Medina Spirit with a sign containing Mandaloun’s name on Tuesday morning, according to a press release. Despite the fact that the Kentucky Derby trophy has not yet been engraved, the track still has control of it. Death of the Medina Spirit: Even in death, the Kentucky Derby champion Medina Spirit continues to be significant. Bob Baffert’s suspension Baffert’s 90-day ban is expected to begin on March 8 and end on June 5, which would cover the first two legs of the Triple Crown: the Kentucky Derby and the Preakness Stakes. During that time, the trainer can ask the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission to conduct a review of their decision, or he can ask the commission’s executive director, Marc Guilfoil, to grant him a stay of the proceedings. He may ultimately decide to take his case to the Franklin Circuit Court, which may cause the final outcome of the race to be delayed for months or perhaps years. It was not until owner Peter Fuller abandoned his legal struggle on behalf of Dancer’s Image in 1973 that the previous Derby drug disqualification, the 1968 case in which Dancer’s Image was knocked out in favor of Forward Pass, was finally addressed. Bets on the Medina Spirit: What happens to bets on Medina Spirit if the winner of the Kentucky Derby is disqualified? In addition to Medina Spirit’s Kentucky Derby victory, Baffert’s 90-day punishment reflected a series of offenses in the year leading up to the 2021 Derby. A third positive test for a Class C substance during a one-year period provides grounds for a 30- to 60-day suspension under KHRC recommendations, however there is no specific provision for subsequent positive tests under the KHRC standards. Gamine, a Baffert-trained filly that finished third in the 2020 Kentucky Oaks, was disqualified in January 2021 after testing positive for betamethasone following the race. During the year 2020, Baffert also had a positive test at Del Mar and two positive tests on Arkansas Derby day at Oaklawn. Medina Spirit’s positive test result was referred to as Baffert’s fourth medication violation in a 365-day period, but it could have been considered his fifth. “We applaud the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission for taking action against American horse racing’s most infamous violator, Bob Baffert, and we are pleased to see some justice brought to the tragic life and death of Medina Spirit,” said Marty Irby, executive director of Animal Wellness Action. “In scandal after controversy, Baffert has continued to drag horse racing through the dirt, and we urge on every racing jurisdiction in the country to hold him accountable by matching the suspension of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission in their own state. We are delighted that Baffert will not be participating in the forthcoming Kentucky Derby in 2022, and feel that the horses will be better placed and the event will have greater legitimacy as a result of his absence.” Even though Baffert acknowledged Gamine’s betamethasone positive from the Oaks, while claiming that the filly had been weaned off the medication before the state’s 14-day withdrawal period, he vehemently denied Medina Spirit had been treated with the same substance when confirming the initial test results, only to back down a few days later by admitting the horse had been treated for a skin condition with Otomax, which contains betamethasone. Baffert’s counsel attempted to establish a crucial distinction by arguing that Kentucky restrictions applied only to the injectable medicine and not the ointment. They were unsuccessful. Guilfoil and Dr. Mary Scollay, executive director of the Racing Medication and Testing Consortium, were among those who held to the language of Kentucky law, which defines a positive test as the presence of a restricted or illegal substance in a sample. A June hearing before Franklin Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate heard testimony from KHRC general counsel Jennifer Wolsing, who stated that the technique by which betamethasone is supplied is “not distinguished” under Kentucky laws. Sullivan: According to the rules, Bob Baffert has a slim chance of escaping disqualification from the Kentucky Derby. Baffert filed a lawsuit against the KHRC to obtain additional testing in an effort to determine the source of the betamethasone, and his attorneys claimed vindication when a New York lab determined Medina Spirit’s sample contained betamethasone valerate (which the ointment contains), but not the acetate version found in the injectable betamethasone (which the ointment does not). Despite the fact that the results were described as conclusive by the attorneys, the report produced by the New York Drug Testing and Research Program included a disclaimer that the research had not been peer reviewed. However, while Scollay insisted that the positive test resulted in a “non-negotiable” disqualification, regardless of the source of the substance, Baffert’s camp was also engaged in a public relations campaign in an attempt to minimize the trainer’s potential penalties and negative consequences for the trainer’s business. Mandaloun:Can you tell me which horse finished second in the Kentucky Derby in 2021? Information on Mandaloun that you should be aware of In spite of a previous two-year suspension issued by Churchill Downs and the approach of Derby 148, the majority of Baffert’s clientele have continued to support the trainer. If Baffert were not training them, seven different horses would have gained Derby qualifying points, and all but one of them are still in his stable today. There have now been 21 prep races conducted that are eligible for qualifying points, and six of those races have been won by Baffert-trained horses. Some of the year’s most promising 3-year-olds will be unable to compete for the Kentucky Derby unless Baffert’s owners transfer their horses to other trainers or until the trainer escapes fines the stewards’ suspension and Churchill’s ban from competing. If this has the effect of diminishing Derby 148, Churchill Downs is ready to accept it as a price. “The Derby has profound historical roots,” said Dale Romans, a trainer based in Louisville. “I believe it would have detracted from the Derby if he hadn’t received the penalty.” Tim Sullivan can be reached at 502-582-4650 or [email protected] His Twitter handle is @TimSullivan714 See also: What Is A Red Horse Called? (Solved) Medina Spirit is stripped of Kentucky Derby victory, Bob Baffert suspended Medina Spirit is no longer the winner of the Kentucky Derby, which took place last year. At least for the time being. A week after holding a hearing, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission said on Monday that the now-deceased horse had been stripped of his victory after testing positive for a lawful medicine that was not permitted to be used on race day. It is just the third occasion in the 146-year history of the world’s most prestigious horse race that a winner has been disqualified. Mandaloun is declared the winner as a result of the disqualification. In the case of bettors, a class-action lawsuit has been filed and is currently making its way through the courts. The suspension was due to begin on March 8 and conclude on June 5, but it has been postponed because Baffert’s counsel want to file an appeal against the ruling. In addition, if the appeal is denied, the winner’s $1.86 million prize money would be forfeited and returned to him. “We are saddened by the commission’s decision, but we are not shocked.” It is evident from the numerous public remarks made by KHRC officials in recent months that Bob Baffert’s destiny was determined before we ever came down for a hearing that this finding reflects an unacceptable deviation from both the facts and the law.” “We will appeal, and we will succeed when the facts and regulations are given to detached, unbiased decisionmakers,” said the attorney general of California. Baffert’s Louisville-based attorney, Craig Robertson, echoed sentiments that were similar to Baffert’s. “It is in direct conflict with the scientifically verified facts in this case as well as the guidelines of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission,” says the attorney. According to a statement from Churchill Downs, “Churchill Downs acknowledges Mandaloun as the winner of the 147th running of the Kentucky Derby and expresses our congratulations to owner/breeder Juddmonte, trainer Brad Cox, and jockey Florent Geroux,” the track stated. The issue was finally resolved after more than four years of litigation. This unusual tale of horse racing intrigue began a week after Medina Spirit was officially crowned the victor of the Derby by the American Thoroughbred Racing Association. A news conference was scheduled outside Baffert’s stable at Churchill Downs after he received word that Medina Spirit had tested positive for betamethasone, an anti-inflammatory medication. Baffert said he had no clue how the drug got into Medina Spirit and then proceeded on a public campaign to proclaim his innocence, which was met with widespread support. Baffert’s counsel asserted that the regulation that was broken only applied to betamethasone that was injected intra-articularly, not betamethasone used topically as an ointment. The KHRC did not accept this line of reasoning. Hong / Associated Press) For the next two years, the Hall of Fame trainer will be barred from training horses at Churchill Downs’ trademark Louisville track and any other tracks controlled by the company. listed five horses trained by Baffert that tested positive for drugs in the span of nearly a year. Baffert is not only barred from competing at Churchill Downs, but horses trained by him are also unable to obtain Kentucky Derby qualification points as a result of the suspension. Due to the low likelihood that Baffert will be able to reverse the Churchill ruling in time for the May 7 race, owners will be forced to choose between remaining loyal to him or switching their horses to another trainer. From now forward, all major 3-year-old events will qualify horses for the Kentucky Derby, including the Preakness and Belmont Stakes. His next start was the Shared Belief Stakes at Del Mar, followed by a victory in the Awesome Again at Santa Anita, when he beat older horses in the process. However, on December 6, after concluding a training at Santa Anita, the horse slumped and died on the track, apparently due to a heart attack, according to authorities. There were evidence that it was cardiac-related, but it could not be ruled out as a result of other factors. If Medina Spirit is declared the winner of the Kentucky Derby, it is unknown whether or not she will be returned to the racetrack. While racing’s ultimate objective is to settle disputes on the track, this one will be settled by attorneys and judges, and there will be a lot of them in this case. Medina Spirit Stripped of 2021 Kentucky Derby Win A new victor of the Kentucky Derby has been crowned: Medina Spirit is no longer the champion. For the time being, at least, Almost a week after holding a hearing, the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission stated that the now-deceased horse had been stripped of his victory after testing positive for a lawful medicine that was not permitted to be used on racedays. In the 146-year history of the world’s most renowned horse race, this is just the third occasion a winner has been disqualified. Mandaloun is the winner as a result of the disqualification. An action was filed on behalf of bettors, and it is currently making its way through the legal system. Originally set to begin on March 8 and expire on June 5, Baffert’s ban will be put on hold as his attorneys prepare to appeal the judgment, which will take several weeks. Aside from that, if the appeal is denied, the winner’s $1.86 million prize money would be forfeited. “While this decision constitutes an egregious deviation from both the facts and the law, the numerous public statements made by KHRC officials over the previous few months have made it quite evident that Bob Baffert’s destiny was determined before we even sat down for a hearing. Baffert’s Louisville-based attorney, Craig Robertson, voiced sentiments that were similar to Baffert. According to a statement from Churchill Downs, “Churchill Downs acknowledges Mandaloun as the winner of the 147th Kentucky Derby and sends our congratulations to owner/breeder Juddmonte, trainer Brad Cox, and rider Florent Geroux.” It was 1968 that Dancer’s Image was disqualified for using a forbidden drug and Forward Pass was awarded the victory, the last occasion a horse was disqualified. The only other time Maximum Security was disqualified was in 2019, when it was disqualified due to interfering with the competition. To get to the first stage in resolving this situation, it has taken about ten months. A horse that is not suffering from any health problems may be able to run more efficiently with this medicine. Initially, Baffert said he had no clue how the drug ended up in Medina Spirit, but he later went on a PR campaign to prove it. His legal team asserted that the law in question only applied to betamethasone that was injected intra-articularly, not betamethasone that was used topically. That argument was rejected by the KHRC. Hong] During the next two years, the Hall of Fame trainer will not be permitted to train horses at Churchill Downs’ flagship Louisville track or any other tracks controlled by the company. Baffert was unable to manage two of the positives, which occurred in Arkansas as a result of contamination that touched more than simply his horses. Getting horses to the Kentucky Derby, a race he has won seven times and is now leading with six, has been the foundation of his company. Earlier this month, the Fair Grounds in New Orleans hosted the inaugural win-and-you’re-in race. See also: How To Help A Charlie Horse? (Perfect answer) Medina Spirit was allowed to compete in the Preakness under tight testing regulations after winning the Kentucky Derby the year before, and she finished third. Last year’s Breeders’ Cup Classic turned out to be his final race, where he finished second to Knicks’ Go, who was named Horse of the Year. A necropsy was done, however the cause of death was unable to be confirmed with certainty. It was discovered that he had no medicines in his system other than those that had been previously reported by his veterinarian. If Medina Spirit is declared the winner of the Kentucky Derby, it is unknown whether or not the horse will be returned to the track. It will be settled by a panel of attorneys and judges, as opposed to the aim of racing, which is to settle matters on the track. The unprecedented disqualification of a Kentucky Derby winner, explained Despite the fact that the horse who crossed the finish line first did not win the Kentucky Derby, he was placed second overall. Maximum Security seemed to have won the 145th edition of the sport’s most prestigious race in two exciting minutes, according to the official results. However, despite all of the excitement surrounding his most thrilling victory to date, spectators were quickly made aware of an objection brought against the first-place horse by second-place finisher Country House. After an agonizing half-hour, the announcement came: Maximum Security had been disqualified, making him the first apparent winner in Kentucky Derby history to be disqualified, and Country House, a 65-to-1 longshot, had “won” the Kentucky Derby. It has never happened before in the history of mankind. Nonetheless, the drama is far from done, as Maximum Security’s owner has filed an appeal with the Kentucky Racing Commission in an attempt to have his victory overturned. Although it was determined that he had breached the race’s interference regulations by taking a misstep to his right, a video playback revealed that he had altered the trajectories of War of Will, Long Range Toddy, and Country House. The offense is as follows: On its own, this narrative has a lot to offer: a historic disqualification, as well as a horse with historically long odds becoming the first-ever recorded champion of the Kentucky Derby. The choice to withdraw from the Kentucky Derby was not a wise one. An overturn of this magnitude could only occur in these days of political correctness. 5th of May, 2019 — Donald J. The president’s obsession with culture wars is grating and predictable, but he’s right about one thing: no one wants the Kentucky Derby to end on instant replay, and he’s right about that. How Maximum Security won the race and lost the Kentucky Derby If you want to see the entire race, it will only take you two minutes to do so (Maximum Security finished at a nice two-minute, four-second clip.) Previously, Maximum Security was being offered 9-2 odds, which placed him in the top tier of competitors, according to the bookmakers. He is three years old and, as of Saturday, had never lost a race before. It cannot be overstated that Maximum Security was in the lead practically the whole way, from the firing of the first shot to the crossing of the finish line. According to NBC Sports: If “a leading horse or any other horse in a race swerves or is ridden to either side in order to interfere with, intimidate, or obstruct any other horse or jockey,” the horse or jockey will be disqualified, according to the regulation. During the derby, the riders aboard Long Range Toddy and Country House both expressed their displeasure with the stewards in charge of officiating the race. When you take a careful look at the footage, it is evident that there was some interference. Thanks to Deadspin, we have an excellent, up-close view at the crucial moment: HTML5 video is not supported by your browser at this time. As a result, Maximum Security was ruled out. The Kentucky Derby had been won by Country House. The disqualified horse’s owner is trying to appeal the decision The disqualified winner’s owner, Gary West, is naturally furious and intends to file an appeal with the state racing commission, despite the fact that race outcomes are not susceptible to review, according to the state racing commission. In his speech, he used some foreboding phrases, nearly but not quite hinting that something was amiss with the strange manner the race had been decided. On NBC’s Todayshow, West stated, “If the state racing commission refuses to hear about it, I believe this to be something that is significant enough that the entire racing world is looking into it.” “And I believe they should be given the opportunity to learn the truth about what happened.” For example, according to John Swenson, a seasoned horse racing writer, who wrote for Vice in 2013: “Cheating is profoundly knit into the very fabric of horse racing.” The dark side of the sport’s elegant surface is represented by fixed races. Regardless of whether West’s implied claims are supported by evidence or not, they do fit into a lengthy and problematic historical context. When the betting ended, the horse had 65-to-1 odds to win. However, he is towards the top of the priority list. We’ll have to wait and see if West’s appeal is successful in its endeavors. According to West, Maximum Security will not compete in the Preakness, the next major race in the sport, which will take place later this month. The debate about the Kentucky Derby is a debate about instant replay According to Trump, “back in my day, they would never have overturned the Kentucky Derby on instant replay” was a valid point of view when it came to the Derby. There’s too much political correctness here. Remember that the true political discussion we should be having is about dead horses at the Santa Anita Park racetrack in California, which isn’t going to happen. Since Christmas, over two dozen horses have perished in the area. Horse racing is a dangerous sport in which people lose their lives on a regular basis, yet it only draws the public’s attention for one day in May, when the Kentucky Derby is held at Churchill Downs in Louisville, Kentucky. But, anyway, let’s confront Trump on his own ground. Gabe Fernandez of Deadspin was dismayed by how instant replay had become so prevalent in more widely watched sports such as football and baseball: “Saturday’s review was the latest example of a growing annoying trend where video replays are requested in the hopes that the tiniest of margins will fall in the challenger’s favor,” he wrote. This is not uncommon. There has been a long-running discussion among sports fans about how much room should be left for human error. However, it came at a cost to one’s ability to move gracefully in sports. “At the very least, an umpire or referee makes his or her decision throughout the game fast. “Oh, whew, that’s an obvious call, there’s no argument whatsoever, pleased the replay captured that,” you say after seeing a video. We begin with a state of uncertainty. Uncertainty increases in our lives. Both of these disappointments were on display on Saturday, when the real-world champion was defeated on a technicality after an excruciatingly long delay. Instant replay may have provided the “right” call, but did it detract from the whole experience? As a result of the Supreme Court’s decision, sports gambling is swiftly becoming legalized across the country, with the Kentucky Derby being the most prominent example. The existence of a vehicle for the purpose of repairing faults that were not detected in real time should be commended rather than criticized. Given that it is predicated on the notion that incorrect decisions are acceptable, it is an odd hill to die on. When millions of Americans place their hard-earned money on the outcome of sporting events, the outcome must be as clean and trustworthy as possible in order to be considered legitimate. What kinds of sports do we wish to see in the future? Kentucky Derby winner Medina Spirit faces disqualification after second failed drug test As reported by the New York Times on Wednesday, a split sample of Medina Spirit’s post-Kentucky Derby drug test revealed the presence of betamethasone, further undermining the horse’s claim to be the Run for the Roses champion. According to Joe Drape of the New York Times, lawyer Clark Brewster, who represents Medina Spirit owner Amr Zedan, stated that a laboratory at the University of California-Davis verified the presence of betamethasone, a corticosteroid, in the sample. Betamethasone is lawful as a therapeutic assistance for horses, but it is prohibited if it is detected in the blood of a horse on race day since it is thought to be a probable performance enhancer. Medina Spirit’s trainer, Bob Baffert, said on May 9 — eight days after the Kentucky Derby — that Medina Spirit had tested positive for 21 picograms of betamethasone. Medina Spirit had tested positive for 21 picograms of betamethasone. In the evening of the same day, Churchill Downs declared that Medina Spirit would be disqualified as the Kentucky Derby winner in the event that a second test, known as a “split sample,” returned positive. Mandaloun, the second-place finisher and trained by Louisville resident Brad Cox, would be crowned the winner. As stated by Tonya Abeln, vice president of corporate relations for Churchill Downs, “Churchill Downs is still awaiting formal notice of the split sample test findings.” The split sample, said to Craig Robertson, Baffert’s attorney, revealed the presence of betamethasone in Medina Spirit’s system at a concentration of 25 picograms. “There is more testing that is being undertaken, including DNA testing,” Robertson stated in his letter. “We anticipate that this extra testing will establish that the betamethasone found in the blood was derived from the topical ointment Otomax and not from an injection.” At the end of the day, we anticipate that this lawsuit will concern the use of Otomax to treat Medina Spirit’s skin rash.” Initially, Baffert said that Medina Spirit had never been treated with betamethasone before. Baffert admitted that he had administered Otomax to treat dermatitis on Medina Spirit’s hind end on May 11, two days after making his initial statement. Betamethasone is listed as an ingredient in Otomax. For his part, Brewster told the New York Times in an interview that “the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission has agreed to have the original blood and urine tests sent to an independent and accredited laboratory for analysis in order to determine whether the specimens contain any other components proving that the source is the topical ointment.” If such is the case, Churchill Downs will most likely wait until the results of those tests are ready before making a decision on Medina Spirit’s standing as the Kentucky Derby winner. In the race’s 147-year history, just two Kentucky Derby winners have been disqualified for their performances. Maximum Security was the first horse to cross the finish line in the 2019 race, but he was disqualified after stewards determined he interfered with other horses in the second turn. Dancer’s Image was banned from the 1968 Indianapolis 500 when a post-race drug test revealed the presence of the prohibited substance phenylbutazone. Country House wins Kentucky Derby after Maximum Security is disqualified LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The University of Kentucky is a public research institution. In the most contentious decision in Kentucky Derby history, a 65-to-1 long shot was declared the winner. Following the disqualification of Maximum Security, who crossed the finish line first, Country House was declared the winner of the race by the stewards. A winner has been disqualified twice in the event’s 145-year history, but this is the first time a disqualification has occurred as a result of a foul accusation made during the race. Dancer’s Image was disqualified from the 1968 Indianapolis 500 due to a drug offense that occurred days after the event. Maximum Security was knocked down as a result of an incident that occurred as he was heading around the corner and deviated out slightly, squeezing War of Will and causing Long Range Toddy to take back control. In spite of the fact that jockey Luis Saez was able to straighten Maximum Security almost immediately after turning, racing officials determined that the foul was egregious enough to bring down the Derby winner — and an impressive one at that, considering Maximum Security had led the race from the start. NBC reported that Bill Mott, the trainer of Country House, stated during the 15-minute assessment of the foul accusation that he believed Maximum Security would have been disqualified if the race had been held on a weekday rather than the Kentucky Derby weekend. WHAT EXACTLY IS AN OPINION? As an example, consider the case of Country House and Maximum Security. PAYOUTS: Following Country House’s unexpected victory in the Kentucky Derby, here are the rewards. REACTIONS AROUND THE WORLD: Wild outpourings following Country House’s victory in the Kentucky Derby According to Mott, “it’s not supposed to matter if it’s the Kentucky Derby or whatever it is.” “There were a couple of horses that were on the verge of going down in the race, and that effectively killed any hope for them.” Code of Honor ended in second place with a 14-to-1 odds, while Tacitus finished in third place at a 5-to-1 odds. Maximum Security was officially ranked 17th, one spot behind Long Range Toddy, according to the rules. The $132.40 payoff for a $2 winning ticket in Country House is the second-highest payout in Derby history The first-place payout was $132.40. See also: What Does Handicap Mean In Horse Racing? (Perfect answer) Trainer: Kentucky Derby winner faces disqualification due to ‘cancel culture’ Bob Baffert, whose horse is facing disqualification from the Kentucky Derby after failing a drugs test, has blamed the incident on “cancel culture” in the horse racing industry. Medina Spirit won the Kentucky Derby by a half-length at Churchill Downs earlier this month, but it was revealed on Sunday that the horse had tested positive for double the allowed quantity of the steroid betamethasone during the race. If the findings of the drug test are upheld, Churchill Downs has prohibited Baffert from entering horses at the track and has warned that Medina Spirit’s victory will be ruled worthless. “Churchill Downs came out with that statement – it was very nasty,” Baffert remarked of the statement. We now live in a very different world. It was something along the lines of a cancel culture, so they’re looking into it. pic.twitter.com/aZLeOp8kBz @existentialfish is a Twitter handle owned by John Whitehouse. Medina Spirit will be entered in the Preakness Stakes on Saturday, the second leg of the Triple Crown of American horse racing, according to trainer Bob Baffert. However, despite the fact that Baffert has had at least 30 adverse doping tests for his horses, he reiterated to Fox that he maintains a drug-free facility. “These horses don’t exist in a vacuum,” he explained. People are reaching out and touching them. I mean, there are so many different ways for these horses to become infected, and when they’re testing at such stupidly low levels, it’s a big concern. Additionally, Baffert speculated on Monday that Medina Spirit may have tested positive after a groom ingested cough medication and urinated on some hay, which the horse subsequently consumed. Some of the hay was consumed by the horse. “I’m concerned about preserving my legacy. I’ve worked with some of the greatest horses that have been through there. That which has occurred is just dreadful. It’s unfair to the horse in this situation. He’s a fantastic horse. He put forth a lot of effort. His performance in that race was deserving of victory, and it breaks my heart because these horses are like my children, and for something to happen to him in that manner is terrible.” Kentucky Derby Winner Medina Spirit Has Been Disqualified After Failing A Drug Test The winner of the Kentucky Derby last spring, Medina Spirit, has been officially disqualified, and his trainer, Bob Baffert, has been suspended, according to the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, which announced the decision on Monday. Lab tests revealed that a steroid was present in the horse’s bloodstream. Churchill Downs, the venue for the prestigious horse race, issued a statement on Monday congratulating the new official winner of the event. “Today, Churchill Downs officially acknowledges Mandaloun as the winner of the 147th Kentucky Derby, and we express our heartfelt congratulations to owner/breeder Juddmonte, trainer Brad Cox, and rider Florent Geroux for their accomplishments. Medina Spirit died abruptly on December 6, despite Baffert’s denials of any wrongdoing on his part. Furthermore, the findings were corroborated by a facility at the University of California in Davis, in addition to being evaluated by a Kentucky-based racing commission laboratory. It was only a “trace quantity” of the chemical discovered by the drug test, according to him, and it would not have had an impact on the horse’s performance during the race. According to Brewster, “the stewards’ decision to deny Medina Spirit a win he had won was not in conformity with the law, but instead constitutes prejudiced, intentional, and unjust behavior.” The stewards announced that Baffert will be punished for 90 days, with the suspension taking effect on March 8 and ending on June 5. According to Churchill Downs Incorporated CEO Bill Carstanjen, “reckless actions and substance violations that put our equine and human athletes’ safety or the integrity of our sport at risk are not acceptable, and as a company we must take measures to indicate that they will not be accepted.” A series of testing failures by Mr Baffert endangers public faith in thoroughbred racing as well as the reputation of the Kentucky Derby, according to a statement. However, despite the fact that the racecourse had placed fines on Baffert, only the state’s racing commission had the authority to officially disqualify Medina Spirit as the race’s champion. Baffert was also fined $7,500, in addition to being suspended from the state of California. According to the Associated Press, he filed a lawsuit against the racing commission in June, saying that the commission had violated due process in connection with a urine sample taken from the horse. Medina Spirit disqualified as Derby winner; Baffert suspended, fined Wave/Gray News/WKYT/WAVE/Gray News/WKYT According to a decision issued Monday by the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission, Medina Spirit’s Kentucky Derby victory has been ruled fraudulent and “all purse money has been forfeited.” As a result of the adverse drug test, the horse was disqualified, and Bob Baffert, the animal’s trainer, has been banned for 90 days and fined $7,500. If the verdict is sustained, Mandaloun will be recognized the official winner of the Kentucky Derby 147, giving trainer Brad Cox his first major race victory in his career. The horse tested positive for betamethasone, an anti-inflammatory that is forbidden in Kentucky on race day, in a post-Derby drug test eight days later, according to the animal’s trainer. After Medina Spirit’s doctor advised betamethasone for a skin rash, Baffert said the horse was given the medication as an ointment. The administration of betamethasone as an injection is prohibited per KHRC regulations. According to attorney Craig Robertson, “it is in direct conflict with the scientifically documented facts in this case as well as the rules of the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission.” “We will be submitting an appeal as soon as possible.” A exercise session ended in tragedy for Medina Spirit when he was killed on the main track at Santa Anita Park, in California, in December. In addition to swelling lungs and froth in his windpipe, Medina Spirit was found to have an enlarged spleen, congestion, and hemorrhages in his tissues, all of which are characteristic of a horse who has died abruptly. released a statement on Monday’s disqualification that did not mention Medina Spirit or Baffert, but instead praised Cox and Mandaloun’s owner, as well as the jockey who rode him in the Derby. “Our congratulations go out to Mandaloun’s owner/breeder Juddmonte, trainer Brad Cox, and jockey Florent Geroux,” the statement reads. Asked about the manner in which he was proclaimed the new Kentucky Derby champion, Cox responded, “Well, it’s absolutely not how you want to win a race period, let alone the Kentucky Derby.” To be honest with you, there’s a lot of legal stuff that I’m sure will come up, or a process that we’ll have to go through, so it’s a long way from being over for sure; we’ll just have to wait and see how things play out over the next few months or a few years; I have no idea how long this will take.” According to Animal Wellness Action, “We applaud the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission for taking action against American horse racing’s most infamous violator, Bob Baffert, and are pleased to see some justice brought to the tragic life and death of Medina Spirit.” Baffert continues to drag horse racing through the mud in scandal after scandal, and we call on every racing jurisdiction in the nation to hold him accountable by reciprocating the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission’s actions.” We are overjoyed that Baffert will not be participating in the forthcoming Kentucky Derby in 2022, and we feel the horses will be better off, and the event will have greater legitimacy, as a result of his absence.” Gray Media Group, Inc. owns the copyright to the 2022 WAVE/WKYT broadcast.

Kentucky Derby Disqualification Voted NTRA Moment of the Year It was decided that Maximum Security’s historic disqualification from the 145th Kentucky Derby Presented by Woodford Reserve will be the NTRA Moment of the Year for 2019. Maximum Security won the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs by 1 3/4 lengths, but was later disqualified — becoming the first Derby winner in history to be downgraded for a racing infraction — and finished 17th after being interfered with late in the second turn. Stewards determined that this move had the potential to negatively damage War of Will, Long Range Toddy, andBodexpress, resulting in Country House, the initial second-place finisher, being promoted to first after a 22-minute debate by stewards and the winner being declared. Although Maximum Security was denied the famous victory, the son of New Year’s Day went on to achieve additional notable successes, culminating his season with three straight graded stakes victories, including two Grade 1 victories, to cap off a stellar campaign. The NTRA Moment of the Year was selected from a pool of 14 events that demonstrated a variety of human emotions as well as excellent demonstrations of horse agility and performance. The winning moment, which was represented on Twitter by the hashtag MaximumSecurityDQ, received 390 votes out of 1,072 total votes made on Twitter and online. With 121 votes, the riderlessPreakness Stakesjaunt by Bodexpress,BodexpressRun, finished third in the race. Post navigation ← How Do You Buy A Horse? (Solution) What Type Of Horse Are You?

Ben Bernanke was arguably the most powerful person in finance at the exact moment finance, essentially, broke.
The institution he had led since 2006, the Federal Reserve, was the world’s most important central bank, with wide-ranging responsibilities influencing financial markets, financial institutions, global economic growth, and the US dollar.
As such, he was at the center of the tension as the US financial system first bent under the growing load of bad mortgage loans, and ultimately fractured with the bankruptcy of US investment bank Lehman Brothers in September 2008.
Lehman’s collapse precipitated the worst financial crisis and recession in the US since the Great Depression of the 1930s.
In his recent book, The Courage to Act, Bernanke writes about what it was like at the center of the storm. And he explains how he and other policy makers such as Treasury Secretaries Henry Paulson and Tim Geithner groped for approaches that would first stop the crisis, and eventually push the US economy back to growth.
While the book has no shortage of references to the parade of government programs aimed at stopping the crisis—TARP, HARP, HAMP, Quantitative Easings, Operation Twist, among them—the memoir is also a highly readable account that adds a sorely missed perspective to the growing pile of post-crisis postmortems. It also gives you a flavor for Bernanke the man, especially some of his eating habits, including an early affinity for Hot Pockets.
Quartz recently chatted with Bernanke—now a distinguished fellow at the Brookings Institution—by phone, in order to take his temperature on a range of issues, from frothy valuations in Silicon Valley to his change of heart regarding healthy eating. Here’s our chat, lightly edited for concision and clarity.
Quartz: One of the newsier bits to come out of your book was that you’re not a Republican any more, you’re now an independent. You say you “lost patience with the Republican susceptibility to the know-nothingism from the far right.”
As former head of the Fed, I know you know how to use more obscure language than that. But you say this pretty clearly. Why?
W.W. Norton & Co.
Bernanke: Well, the question comes up a lot. I’m a moderate. I believe in the market system. But I also think that the Federal Reserve is a very important institution, which has in general played a constructive role in our economy.
And I’m concerned about some of the extreme views about the Fed and our monetary system that have been espoused. I haven’t really changed my position much. I’ve been concerned about the populism both on the right and the left that has implications that worry me in terms of our economy.
In my view, the Fed’s efforts to help the economy were kind of cynically seen as something that would not only help the economy but potentially the president. (Because rightly or wrongly, presidents tend to get credit for whatever the economic performance is during their tenure.) What’s your feeling about that? Am I correct or am I off base?
Well, I mean, first of all, the goal of the Fed is to help the economy prosper. And if that benefits politicians, that’s fine. But, you know, what’s the alternative? To avoid helping the economy so that you don’t help politicians in power? I don’t understand that.
The goal of the Fed and the monetary policy is to promote prosperity—whoever is president. And, in my case, I was appointed by President Bush and I was reappointed by President Obama. And I worked constructively with both men. And I was engaged entirely in the effort to help our economy recover from the great recession, and I wasn’t interested in politics.

I worry that there’s a free-rider problem in the interaction between governments and central banks. For instance, in the UK, the government has run a pretty tight fiscal policy, essentially relying on the central bank to keep the economy moving forward. And there’s been an element of that in the US, too. Congress and the Obama administration didn’t really do very much to support growth in the aftermath of the crisis. And the Fed pretty much did most of the heavy lifting. Is there a free-rider problem?
Well, to some extent, that’s true. Fiscal policy was too tight during a good bit of the recovery, and that left the heavy lifting, as you say, to be done by the Federal Reserve. I think, in general, governments have relied too heavily on central banks. And we’ve therefore had a less vigorous recovery, and a less balanced policy response than we otherwise would have had.
Then the question is: What should the the chairman of the Fed do about that? I talked about it frequently. And I urged Congress to avoid cutting too aggressively in the budget or raising taxes too aggressively. And in particular to avoid things like failing to raise the debt limit, which created a lot of volatility in financial markets.
So I urged congress to shoulder its share of the burden, but I don’t think it was my role or the Fed’s role to dictate to Congress. It’s Congress’ decision about what policies they’re going to enact. And it’s not the Fed’s job to threaten to withhold its proper policies until Congress does its bidding. That’s simply not what happens in our democracy.

There are some interesting things in your book about your management style and how you chose to run the FOMC. For instance, you made a point of deciding that you would speak at the end of the FOMC meeting rather than at the beginning as your predecessor Alan Greenspan did. Are there any other lessons or tools that you used as the leader of the Fed that you think could translate to other leadership positions?
Well, I think leadership is a personal thing. And different personalities approach it different ways. My background was as an academic, I was chairman of the economics department at Princeton. And I was used to dealing with peers, people who had strong opinions and couldn’t be told what to do, basically. So my approach was to pick a collegial approach and to try to make sure everybody’s views were heard and that we developed consensus for our policy choices.
Now I think that was helpful in building capital—personal capital—because at times during the crisis we had to act more quickly without taking the time to build consensus.
And I think at least to some extent, the fact that we had built a collegial consensus initially gained me some more leeway to what we had to do during the crisis.
When I came into the chairmanship, Chairman Greenspan had of course been a very effective leader. But at times, I think that people began to identify the Fed with one person, with the chairman. And I think it was important for the public to understand that there are a lot of talented people at the Fed and that decisions are made in a collective, collegial way. And I wanted to push that perspective.
The US economy seems to be doing well on a lot of fronts right now. But we do seem to have areas where the market may have gotten ahead of itself. Bubbles continue to emerge. To a certain extent it seems that this is just a feature of capitalist economies. Do you see areas of concern right now in terms of bubbles?
I should first say that the Federal Reserve has become much more involved in monitoring the financial system and in trying to identify potential problems. But the Fed’s perspective—and my own—is not necessarily to worry if some class of assets is mispriced. Rather, the question is: Are there building threats that could actually endanger the overall system, like the housing bubble and subprime mortgages did in 2007?
So on that criterion, I don’t see any big asset class that’s badly overvalued. Nor do I see any obvious areas where the financial system is vulnerable to a financial crisis. There are certainly areas where investors need to be cautious and to pay attention.
Many people have made the argument that in Silicon Valley, there’s really wild valuations on some really speculative new firms. I know you don’t speak for the Fed, but from a policy maker’s perspective, your concern is not if some venture capitalists lose a lot of money.
That’s exactly right. And I would say that thinking about the housing bubble before the financial panic. I think in retrospect that we at the Fed and other policy makers spent too much time debating whether or not it was a bubble or, if it was a bubble, how big it was. Instead I think the better way to think about it would have been to ask the question, “We don’t know if it’s a bubble, but suppose it is? And suppose that it were to burst spectacularly? What would be the worst thing that could happen?” In other words, to trace the implications of a big movement in an asset price, for the banking system and the financial system more generally. And I think that’s the right way to think about this.
And so in the example you just gave me, I have no idea whether tech stocks are overvalued or not. There’s some people who think they are. On the other hand, it’s very difficult intrinsically to value such stocks because they are bets on the future. But be that as it may, my own sense would be that if the value of some unicorns [companies valued at $1 billion or more] went down that—while it would certainly matter to the investors and the entrepreneurs involved, as you say—it probably wouldn’t be a serious threat to the overall economy.
One of the things I’ve been thinking about is the political economy of bubbles. It seems like there’s very little incentive for anyone to actually try to pop a bubble, because you can’t take credit for averting a crisis that never happened.
Well, I think we’ve learned though that bubbles in some circumstances can be very dangerous, and affect not only the fate of investors but the whole economy.
And since the crisis there have been efforts around the world, to use what’s called macro prudential economies, to try to diffuse risks before they do damage. So, for example, my colleague Don Kohn, who was the vice chairman of the Fed when I was there, is a member of the British financial policy committee, which tries to identify such problems and, when it does, it makes recommendations to the parliament to impose restrictions. (For example, in the case of housing, higher down payments and more capital against mortgage loans, that can help constrain that bubble.)
And what’s important there is, first, that the bubble is identified by a set of experts—a set of policy makers who are focused on this issues—and, secondly, once the recommendations are made it’s a broader political decision, not just the central banking making the decision; it’s a broader decision made by policy makers and legislators about what to do about the problem.
All that being said, in the United States we haven’t set up systems like that. But we have tried to make our banking system and our financial system more resilient so that no matter what kind of shock might hit, our banking system is today much better able to weather it than it was eight years ago.
In the aftermath of the financial crisis there was a lot of handwringing about economics and the obvious failures of economic theory. It seems to me that while there some schools of economic thought that seemed to crumble in then face of the crisis, economic history held up pretty well. You’ve got a historical background in your studies of the banking crises during the Great Depression, do you see economic history making a comeback?
I don’t think it’s disappeared. It’s obviously only one part of economics. But I agree entirely with what you said. Knowledge of economic history is critical for good policy making because, as valuable as it is to understand models and theories, in real life policies have to be made in societies that are complex and have political and sociological considerations to take into account. History gives you a much better overall framework to think about some of these things. So in the case of the financial crisis, yes, what I knew about the depression and about financial panics prior to the depression was actually very helpful conceptually for thinking about this panic.
What do you think about bitcoin?
It’s interesting from a technological point of view. We’re in a world where the payments system is evolving quickly and new approaches to managing payments are proliferating, and some of the ideas around bitcoin will no doubt be useful in doing that.
But I think bitcoin itself has some serious problems. The first is that it hasn’t shown to be a stable source of value. Its price has been highly volatile and it hasn’t yet established itself as a widely accepted transactions medium.
But the real serious problem that it has is it’s anonymity, which is a feature, and is also a bug, in that it has become in some cases a vehicle for illicit transactions, drug selling or terrorist financing or whatever. And you know, governments are not happy to let that activity happen, so I suspect that there will be oversight of transactions done in bitcoin or similar currencies and that will reduce the appeal.
My last question might be the toughest one. Are you still eating Hot Pockets?
I am not. I am really into healthy eating now. And I decided that I would stay away from high fat types of products.
What’s your go-to snack now?
I don’t think I have one. I try to keep it down. | positive |
72.8% of the 3226 philosophers who took the PhilPapers survey in 2009 said that they accept or lean towards atheism. Among philosophers of religion, though, 72.3% accept or lean towards theism. Adriano Mannino considers the question in a post at the group blog Crucial Considerations. Of these figures, he writes:
On the face of it, there are two hypotheses which could explain the data, one of them worrying for atheists, the other less so:
Expert Knowledge: Philosophers of religion possess expert knowledge on the arguments for and against God’s existence. The arguments for God’s existence are just overall more convincing and render God’s existence more probable than not.
Selection Bias: People often become philosophers of religion because they are religious, or at least have a high credence in God’s existence. Theist often become philosophers of religion, not the other way around.
He then makes use of the results of the data from the study by Helen De Cruz (VU University Amsterdam) of why philosophers of religion went into that field and how their beliefs concerning theism and atheism changed over time. He ends up concluding that the evidence is best explained by the “selection bias” hypothesis. He says: The theists to atheists/agnostics ratio is even higher before exposure to PoR. This confirms the impression we got from considering philosophers’ motivations for doing philosophy of religion: most philosophers of religion were already theists when they started, so there is a strong selection bias at work. Moreover, there are more philosophers of religion updating their beliefs toward atheism and agnosticism than toward theism, ....The numbers show that the ratio of theists to atheists/agnostics declines with exposure to philosophy of religion. LINK.
Why? I'll tell you why. Because theists gravitate to that field, that's why. In fact, given that they do gravitate to that field, the fact that there aren't MORE theists working in it tells us something interesting about the philosophy of religion (PoR) itself. I've been arguing that the PoR should end in the secular universities. A new study confirms what I'm saying since the discipline isn't even able to keep those believers who enter it! That's the take away from a recent study of the figures. You will see a link to my post calling for an end to the PoR embedded there.To read my series of posts calling for the end of the PoR thery're right here in reverse chronological order. | positive |

Aware that another bumper crop could be coming from Western Canada this year, Agriculture Minister Lawrence MacAulay promised to make “every effort” to prevent a major grain backlog, like the one in 2013-14 that cost farmers billions of dollars in lost income and sales.
MacAulay, who along with Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale met with farm leaders in Regina Thursday, was responding to a letter sent to his office by Saskatchewan Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart last week, warning that another above-average harvest was expected this year and that measures must be taken to avoid another costly grain backlog.
“I did receive the letter from Minister Stewart,” MacAulay told reporters prior to the roundtable meeting. “We are aware that they are expecting a bumper crop.”
MacAulay, a former farmer from P.E.I., said farmers did their job growing the bumper crop; now it’s up to the federal government to ensure the crop gets to market. “Every effort that can be taken is and will be taken to make sure that the grain is moved more efficiently than it was a couple of years ago.”
But MacAulay stopped short of promising to fine the railways — like the previous Conservative government threatened to do — if they fail to move a specified amount of grain to market in a specified period of time. “What we want to do is work with the farmers, the grain companies and the railways to make sure we have an efficient movement of grain across the Prairies.”
The recent report of the Canada Transportation Act (CTA) review called for the phasing out of the maximum revenue entitlement (MRE), which acts as a cap on revenues railways can charge for shipping grain to export position.
But Goodale said the CTA review report also called for more “transparency” in the grain transportation system. “People need to know the facts and have the data upon which to make sound decisions. That kind of transparency is not adequately in the Canadian system today,” said Goodale, a former agriculture minister.
Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan president Norm Hall, who met with MacAulay and Goodale Thursday, called on federal Transport Minister Marc Garneau to follow through on Liberal Party commitments to consult directly with producers on grain transportation recommendations in the Canada Transportation Act review. | positive |
Good Morning. I will be your quasi-official MC for this edition of the morning links on this Easter Sunday. Let's party.
We start with women's hockey. The United States beat Canada to win the women's World Championships yesterday. You likely didn't hear about it because Canada didn't win so the internet isn't full of posts mocking America, freedom, apple pie, and the light bulb. Finland won the bronze. [NHL]
You may recall that the American women had their hearts broken at the Olympics by Canada. This win will no doubt be minimized by fans of Canadian hockey because it isn't the Olympics, but it's still a very good win for the US women's program. Any time you knock off Canada in hockey it's going to feel good.

Do you need a car? Would you like to win the car awarded to Alex Ovechkin at the 2015 NHL All Star game for being named the MVP? Well you can do that. It's being raffled by Raffle America to help the American Special Hockey Association. Here is more detail from the raffle listing:
Alex Ovechkin got that car after all. Honda presented Ovechkin with a giant key after the All-Star game. Except it wasn't actually for Ovi. Alex Ovechkin secured the 2015 Honda Accord for the American Special Hockey Association for kids with special needs. We can't thank Alex enough for all he has done to warm the hearts and put smiles on the faces of our special stars. Now you too can be a part of something so wonderful and heart felt. We are raffling off the 2015 Honda Accord Alex secured for us to help us continue to give people of all ages and abilities a chance to learn and grow by playing hockey. Our goal is to sell 10,000 tickets, but we have made 20,000 tickets available so more supporters have a chance. Your support is greatly appreciated, and we thank you with all of our hearts.
For 25 bucks you could win a car. If you don't you still end up donating 25 bucks to a good cause. Go buy tickets now and help out and maybe win a car.[Raffle America]

Former Devils prospect Ben Johnson was sentenced to three years in prison on Tuesday in a Windsor, Ontario, court, according to multiple published reports.
The 22-year-old Johnson was convicted of sexual assault in September, stemming from the attack of a 16-year-old girl at a night club in Windsor\ in March of 2013.
Johnson was also accused of sexual assault in a January of 2013, incident, but he was found not guilt of that charge in November of 2015.
Johnson drafted in the third round by the Devils in the 2012 NHL Draft. He spent that majority of the time playing for the Windsor Spitfires and Albany Devils since being drafted.
The Devils terminated Johnson's contract following the September conviction, releasing this statement at the time.
"Earlier today, the club was informed of Windsor Superior Court Justice Kirk Munroe's ruling against Mr. Johnson," the Devils said in a statement after Johnson's September conviction. "Based on the ruling, the club has initiated the process required to terminate Mr. Johnson's Standard Player's Contract."

Far Cry Primal is skulking around in the development undergrowth, waiting for the right moment to strike. We sent Brendan to observe its behaviour.
I wasn’t sure if many players would enjoy the Stone Age setting of the new Far Cry, then I saw a man from my tribe taking a painful dump behind a tree in the middle of our settlement, and I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt. This is the village of the Wenja, one of three tribes who fight it out in the world of Oros for territory and resources. The story centers on your cave man character, Takkar, as he rebuilds his people from their scattered remnants after a long ice age. There are no explosions in the year 10,000 BC, but you do get to ride around on the back of a sabretooth tiger, so there’s always that.
I got to play the first three hours of the game, more or less, which saw me through a lot of the introductory fluff. A lot of it was Far Cry basics but there were plenty of curve balls along the way. The kind of small, incremental changes that Ubisoft weld onto their blockbuster follow-ups. It was like visiting your hometown after years away. Everything was different, but also kind of the same.
Let’s look at attacking outposts first. That has always been the main draw of the series since Far Cry 3 revamped things with Jason “Murder Is Hilarious” Brody. In Primal, the built-up guard posts, alarm systems and machinegun nests are replaced with the wood, stone and clay encampments of enemy tribes – the cannibalistic Udam or the fire-worshipping Izila. Clearing out a camp and lighting a bonfire unlocks the place as a fast travel destination and recruits more Wenja to your tribe. That old satisfaction of skulking around, tagging enemies and getting a good vantage point before you strike is all still there, albeit in a slightly more overgrown environment, sans sniper rifle.
Like I say, it feels both different and the same. You can still tag enemies by peering at them down the “barrel” of your arrow shaft and so forth, granting them a revealing shadow from behind cover (you have to unlock this skill but it is available quite early). Yet you can also summon an owl to survey the land from above and tag the enemies this way. In this mode you become the owl, controlling it as it circles the area, open-eyed, focused and wise, entertaining a calm approach to neolithic reconissance. Also, this owl is psychotic. You can swoop down and kill a man, which then wrenches control back to Takkar, and according to some trailers (because I didn’t see this ability myself), the owl will eventually be able to drop fire bombs on people.
Lots is being made of the animals and the control you will have over them. This “Beast Mastery” allows you to conjure up an array of predators from the bush. White wolves, black wolves, bears, white tigers, sabretooths, jaguars, dholes. You have to “tame” them first by discovering one lurking in the wild and throwing bait down. Then, as it feasts, you have to approach slowly and say “shhhh” at it until it doesn’t want to destroy you. This takes the form of holding down a button until the slavering animal becomes chilled out. There’s no minigame, either cumbersome or enjoyable, aside from approaching the beast quietly. After that’s done, they’ll potter around at your side and I can gladly report the animals never got in my way a la Dogmeat, not once.
I didn’t get to tame or summon any honey badgers or mammoths but I am informed they will make an appearance. Later skills will open up these new animals and other abilities but early command of the beasts was limited to pointing at an enemy and whistling a command for them to attack, which they would do in a much bloodier fashion than Diamond Dog. They can be hurt and become incapacitated, at which point you have to go and revive them with a meat snack. Then, they’ll carry on rampaging. I can confirm that I was able to pet my wolf sidekick after each murder.
The human enemies still come in different classes, the ugg-ugg equivalent of past henchmen.There are archers who keep their distance but still slash you with a knife if you get too close, club-wielders who charge you down as fast as possible, and spearfolk who raise their spear arms and aim throws with careful malice. There are feisty little dudes who throw poison at you in clay pots and the “heavies” (those represented by the shield symbol) are overwhelmingly strong and uh… “arrow spongey”? Yeah, sure, let’s go with that. They’re arrow spongey. I tried to take one of these fellas head-on and I had to call in a bear just to deal with him while I hid down a big hole.
As for your own arsenal, I’m afraid I didn’t get very far with unlocking weapons. You begin the game with a short bow and soon progress to a club. You can set fire to your arrows and the head of your club pretty much from the start of the game, which makes for a lot of burning, flailing enemies. Fire itself is a central weapon as so much of the terrain is flammable. One mission charged Takkar with setting fire to an entire village of an enemy tribe, which I did in the most barbarian way possible, plodding around and cruelly thrusting my firelit club into the thatch of huts and watchposts. Later, I unlocked a Longbow, a spikier club, and the ability to hold more than two spears at a time. Limited “ammo” isn’t such a problem though – you can remake anything on the hoof, even in the middle of a fight, just by holding down a dedicated crafting button. So long as you have the resources.
Although the outpost attack is still clearly the main attraction, there are some small departures from the norm. There is no “climb the high thing, reveal the map”, for instance – a merciful retirement of an Ubisoft cliché that consistently invites mockery. In its place, you simply reveal the map around you as you go, like the “shroud” of an old-fashioned RTS. You can unlock skills which increase the radius around you that cleans away this darkness. I don’t know if this is an improvement or a throwback, but it makes sense in terms of the setting – Stone Age people would probably learn their surroundings by sight and landmarks, not with advanced point-of-reference cartography. And anyway it’s a relief Ubi have done something different. You know what they say: “A change is as good as not having to climb 40 slightly-different towers.”
Then there is your tribe’s home settlement. This is a village that acts partly like the mission hubs of previous games but also as a physical representation of the passive skills and abilities you unlock. You can bring back resources to build and upgrade the huts of special characters. Upgrading the Shaman’s hut for example, will let you tame more dangerous animals and unlock the skills needed to control them. Upgrading the hut of your tribe’s matriarchal leader let’s you craft new food recipes from meat and herbs. This takes the place of the last game’s buffing syringes. Everything your character can do is connected to the state of your home village, which fittingly means there’s always some hunting and gathering to do.
Thankfully, it looks like there’s not too much of a collector’s burden on the player, as “rewards stashes” appear in outposts and in your home settlement, which generate materials and resources over time, and there are skills that increase how bountiful these stashes can become. A special mode of sight, called “beast vision” or “hunter’s vision” or “murder vision”, I can’t remember which, highlights the materials you can gather, as well as enemies, animals and any tracks you are able to follow during missions.
To step away from the bits ‘n’ pieces for a moment, something I found interesting was the decision to create a language for the Wenja and the other tribes. This is based on Proto-Indo-European, the developers say (see interview below). Besides being an impressive detail, it makes sense. More so than having the cave peeps hollering at each other in modern English or French, for instance. But something about it still threw me off. Maybe it was having to read subtitles while there was action going on. Maybe it was simply the way their sentences read, with everyone leaving out their determiners and prepositions, like giant baby people. I don’t know. It might turn out to be more fun just turning the subtitles off and trying to figure out what’s happening from context.
This small niggle about the writing reminded me of The Inheritors by William Golding (don’t panic! I will get back to the game soon). It’s a book about a group of Neanderthals trying to survive in the burgeoning shadow of homo sapiens. The idea of an ancient people and the mystery of how they lived, talked and acted is super interesting to me. But it’s the execution that matters. I didn’t finish that book in the end, because the characters were so intellectually distant from anything I knew, and everybody spoke in such a primitive way that it became difficult for me to relate to them or care about them as people. I have a small concern that the same could be said for Takkar and the Wenja. On the other hand, if somebody in The Inheritors had regularly stomped around on the back of a mastadon and impaled the homo sapiens with flame-tipped spears, maybe I would have finished it. Ubisoft 1 – William Golding 0.
That aside, Far Cry Primal appears to be made of a strange yet familiar mould. There are patrols of friendly Wenja, as well as enemies, and side missions to free prisoners or kill tribal chieftains pop up while you travel. There was at least one “Shaman Vision” when I played, threatening dreamlike sequences that will replace the Shangri-La sections of Far Cry 4. What Primal doesn’t appear to be is a survival game. It doesn’t share any of the DNA of its survivalist cousins such as Ark: Survival Evolved, apart from in appearance. And (let’s run with the evolutionary metaphor here until we die) on the tree of life it is still obviously far more closely related to its direct predecessors.
A day and night cycle means that moving from place to place will be more difficult after dark, requiring firelight to navigate in a wilderness of savage nocturnal beasts. But there is no cold meter or sleep meter to worry about, or none that I could notice. No ill effects from wandering around without eating for the whole day. There are campfires with furs rolled out like sleeping bags next to them, but lighting one of these fires just unlocks a fast-travel marker and taking a nap under the covers simply offers the player the chance to fast-forward time to either dawn or sunset. This distancing itself from the mechanics of true survival games is either going to disappoint you or make you breathe a sigh of relief. Just know that, whatever your tastes, the creators are not messing with the formula too much here. Not that anyone should be surprised at that. Let’s face it, non-numbered spin-off or not, this is one of Ubisoft’s core series.
Perhaps most importantly for the world of Primal, there are still moments of silly happenstance. As I was playing, I set a giant cave bear on fire and watched as it ran for hundreds of metres, spreading the flames everywhere it went. Eventually, the fire on the bear’s fur went out, and it started chasing after some wolves because… I don’t know, because it was cranky? Meanwhile, I was surrounded by a small forest fire. There’s an Aesopian moral in this anecdote somewhere but I’m not sure if I have the energy to find it. “Don’t set bears on fire”?
And maybe that is all Primal needs to successfully pounce on Far Cry fans come the 23rd of February (or March 1st for us in the PC tribe). There is a part of me, I can’t deny it, that missed all the explosions and helicopters of Kyrat, or the presence of a well-acted villain like Michael Mando’s Vaas (Primal’s main baddie, a bloodied cannibal called Ull, did nothing for me in my short time with him). But there’s another part of me, more primitive perhaps, that laughed when that constipated cave man pooped behind the tree in our village, and that relished creeping up on a trio of feasting cannibals and siccing a white tiger on them.
After the fight, I heard a crunching sound. When I turned around, the tiger was eating one of the corpses. Savage, gory and a little silly. That sounds like a Far Cry game to me.
Q & A: Thomas Simon, Game Director
RPS: I guess my first question is: why 10,000 years BC?
Thomas Simon: We’d say: why not? For us it’s really the perfect set up and context for Far Cry. It’s the first frontier, the first time man starts to fight over territory. It offers a beautiful landscape and dangerous wildlife and that’s all the stuff we are looking for in Far Cry.
And actually, the idea was present within the team even at the time of Far Cry 3. Some people were talking about that, they found it interesting as an idea.
RPS: Are you worried about taking away the player’s toys? Things like the wingsuit, the guns, the technology that we have gotten used to?
Simon: When we created the game we didn’t proceed by emulation, we really decided to explore what made sense at the time… so there are some choices that we have to make, to make the game believable but at the same time we want to give the same kind of freedom with the toys and the tactical opportunities we had in previous games, so we explore other kinds of weapons. That’s where we came up with the idea of controlling beasts, that’s something that’s new, that we didn’t have before on this scale.
You haven’t seen it yet but you will be able to ride some of those predators, you can ride the sabretooth or the bear. We created different types of bows, spears, one-handed club, two-handed club, poisonous weapons, we reformed the use of fire – all of those to create the same kind of tactical freedom and playstyle the player [will] have experienced.
RPS: With those beasts and animals, was that a case of seeing what people liked in previous games and developing that?
Simon: Actually what happened was that we knew from the beginning of the game we wanted to put a strong focus on the hunting, and the relationship with animals. We realised there are a lot of spectacular animals that you have not necessarily seen when playing another Far Cry… The idea of ‘Beast Mastery’ came a little later when we tried to reform the set of tools for the player. The starting point was to really try to put the animal at the core of the experience, really give the player that authentic feeling of not being in a man-ruled world but in an animal kingdom.
RPS: And the people in the tribes – what kind of story are you trying to tell with the different tribes? Am I right in thinking some of them are neanderthals and some “modern humans”?
Simon: So actually, all tribes are really sapiens, they’re really ‘contemporary man’ tribes but they have really suffered and evolved differently through the recent centuries of the Ice Age. The Udam tribe were stuck in the North of Europe and suffered a lot from the Ice Age. They really had to use extreme measures to survive. They had to rely on cannibalistic practices, inbreeding to survive and it basically brought their tribe to the brink of extinction. When they arrive in Oros they are really trying to survive and save their tribe, so they do it by conquering territories, by eating and killing other tribes.
The Izila, they are more advanced but they are really the same species of human. They have started to practice agriculture, so we change a bit of their behaviour, their habits. They have started to settle, to establish religious sites permanently in the world… but in the end it is really a conflict between men of the same species that just have evolved very differently and have very different motivations.
RPS: The language that they use is not recognisable at all. How was that decided and developed?
Simon: Again, for authenticity. We wanted to bring the experience of being in the stone age to the point where the player would really feel involved in it and langauge would break the experience or the believability if we did not adapt it to the context. We decided, with the help of experts, to recreate three different languages based on the Proto-Indo-European language which is the mother of all tongues for Europe, for Russian… it goes into Latin, et cetera. So there’s a lot of words that, when you start exploring them, you realise are reminding you of something you know and that was quite an exciting adventure. I think it brings a lot to the authenticity of the game and to the immersion to the world of being a Stone Age hunter.
RPS: How do you think the player is going to relate to the Wenja, the tribe that they play as? How is their story going to unfold and keep the player’s attention?
Simon: The story is really around Takkar, so the player is discovering Oros, trying to bring back all the Wenja together. It’s a journey from survival to apex predator that you will experience. This is going to be your story. When doing so you’re going to cross the paths of the other tribes. The Wenja tribe is the tribe of your old cousins, they are the one you can relate to, they are hunter-gatherer, they are a bit nomadic, you can experiment with them the first time that they settle permanently. They have shamanic belief, they are more in relation with nature which will go really well with your relations with animals and the fact that you can dominate and tame them. Those come together with the Wenja tribe and they blend with your own story.
RPS: Thanks for your time.
Far Cry Primal is released on PC on 1 March. | positive |

She was only 32 and was killed while crossing the street during the protests, taking a stand against racism and hate. The counter protesters, carrying LGBTQ flags and Black Lives Matter signs, were demonstrating against a group of alt-right who had rallied together to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue. The night before, the alt-right group had carried torches in protest, ramping up the tensions in the area.
Heyer was tragically caught in the middle of one driver’s unexpected turn toward violence. Now, her supporters are asking everyone to light a candle and stand outside their home in her honor, showing they are standing against hate on Sunday night at 10 p.m. Eastern.
Here’s what you need to know.
1. Heather Heyer Died After a Driver Ran Into a Group Protesting the Alt-Right Rally
Heather Heyer was part of the counter protest group that was hit by the Ohio driver, while taking a stand against hate. She is a native of Greene County and graduated from William Monroe High School. She was a paralegal, International Business Times reported. According to her LinkedIn, she worked for Miller Law Group PC in Virginia as a legal assistant. She died doing what she believed in: speaking out against injustice, racism, and hate.
She was a Bernie supporter in 2016 and was open about those political views on her Facebook wall.
According to witnesses, the counter protesters were hit as they turned a corner during their protest march. They were chanting things like “our streets” in response to the words “Unite the Right.” This happened after police had dispersed a group of white nationalists, CBS reported.
Witnesses referred to the crash as a “deliberate act of terrorism,” which the Charlottesville Police Chief echoed in his press conference that you can watch below:

Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe had declared a state of emergency in the city because of violence that was breaking out. In fact, a group of white nationalists had just been dispersed shortly before the car rammed into the counter protesters, many of whom were carrying LBTQ flags and Black Lives Matters signs.
Later, many public officials spoke out against any white supremacists who were involved in the rally.

Alt-right demonstrators were protesting the city’s decision to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee from Emancipation Park.
2. A GoFundMe to Help Heather’s Family Has Raised More than $150,000
Friends of Heyer’s family have set up a GoFundMe to help them during this terrible time. You can donate here. As of the time of publication, $159,786 had been raised of a $200,000 goal.
On the GoFundMe, a friend shared:
Before the victims had even been named, a GoFundMe was set up to help all of them as a group.
As of 7:45 p.m. Eastern, $61,972 had already been contributed toward a $75,000 goal. You can contribute to the GoFundMe here.

Heyer’s mother, Susan Bro, told Huffington Post that her daughter was trying to bring an end to injustice and her goal was to stop hatred in the world.
I don’t want her death to be a focus for more hatred, I want her death to be a rallying cry for justice and equality and fairness and compassion.”
Her mother went on to say that she was very proud of Heyer, and her daughter had wanted to help people since she was a young child. She would often let friends who were having a tough time stay over for months and had helped a friend file for bankruptcy at no cost.

3. Heyer Believed in Taking a Stand Against Racism and Injustice
Heather Heyer didn’t hide who she was or her desire to take a stand against injustice. Even the quote on her Facebook cover photo read: “If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention.”
She often posted on Facebook, standing up for others. She shared a video before the election about how if a person was scared of a Muslim, they should meet a Muslim to end those fears.
She was very outspoken about her beliefs, including posting a review of a police department on Facebook in 2016, upset about a woman that she said had been assaulted.
Many have flocked to Heather’s Facebook page to share their grief in her loss and their solidarity to continue taking a stand for her beliefs.
One person, Michael Bullard, wrote:
We can’t let this be for nothing people. We have to take her spirit of resistance with us wherever we go. Let this be the catalyst in our lives for real change. Rest in peace. We’ll take it from here.”
Heather’s mother told The Huffington Post that even as a child, she wanted to right the wrongs of the world.
“She always had a very strong sense of right and wrong. She always, even as a child, was very caught up in what she believed to be fair.”
Heyer had always been compassionate since she was a young child, a childhood friend Lauren Moon told USA Today.
4. Nineteen People Were Injured in the Same Crash that Killed Heather and the Suspect is in Custody
In addition to Heather’s tragic death, 19 were injured from the crash, with an additional 15 people injured in the rally itself. Later, two more people died in a helicopter crash. As of early Saturday evening, UVA Health System shared that five patients were in critical condition, four in serious condition, six in fair condition, and four more in good condition.
The suspect, James Alex Fields Jr., is in custody. He was booked and charged with one count of second-degree murder, three counts of malicious wounding, failure to stop for an accident involving a death, and hit-and-run, Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail Superintendent Martin Kumer told The Washington Post. Fields is 20 years old.

5. Friends and Supporters of Heather Heyer Want Everyone to Take a Stand Against Racism at 10 p.m. Eastern on Sunday
Friends and admirers of Heather are urging everyone to stand outside their homes at 10 p.m. Eastern on Sunday night Aug. 13 (tonight) with lit candles, to show everyone across the world that they oppose racism and they oppose fascism.
A candlelight vigil had been planned in Charlottesville’s for August 13, but that was canceled due to safety concerns. However, they still plan to host the vigil soon. If you’re in Charlottesville, visit this page for updates. | positive |
It’s a commonly believed truism that opposites attract. Not only are the majority of people who couple of opposite sexes, they are often of opposing temperaments…even if they are the same . So larks who start the day early mate with owls who stay up late. Savers mate with spenders, socializers with stay-at-homes, neat freaks with mess makers. It is often these very opposing characteristics that give the couple balance, even when they are also the source of ongoing friction. They are often the source of the initial as well.
These stylistic differences can be accommodated for, usually, without major blow ups, depending on the extremity of the trait and the tolerance of the partner. When the differences in styles and preferences are sexual and the couple is monogamous, the disparity can be challenging in the extreme.
Even such a small difference as between those who prefer sex at night before going to and those who enjoy it first thing in the morning can be the cause of less sex than either would wish when a compromise of sex some other time of the day or trading off preferred times can’t be reached. People offer all sorts of “reasons” why they can’t alter their sex time preferences: “But I need to shower first”, “What about morning breath?”, “I can’t go to bed at that hour”, etc. I insist that where there is a will there is a way. They just need to think more creatively and be a little bit more flexible.
But what of major differences that are not of timing but of the nature of sexual acts themselves? What about those who are averse to oral sex coupled with a person who can only reach in that that way? What about a person who is into elaborate fantasy play complete with costumes with a mate whose only costume is buttoned up pajamas? Those who are into bondage and discipline or other forms of power play will never be satisfied with a lifelong of “vanilla” sex.” What of fetishists from the mildest to the wildest?
These are the mismatched couples likely to come to see me as a sex therapist hoping for some secret persuasive technique that can turn their mate into the sex partner they long for—more kinky or more “normal”. What I have to tell them is that neither partner is wrong but as long as they are monogamous, someone, if not both, is just not going to have the sex life he or she wants. That’s very disappointing news to those hoping for a magic fix.
It may sound as if I am advocating opening the relationship. I am not necessarily, but that is one solution to be explored when a couple is unhappy with their sex life and the differences in their predilections. Yes, most couples reject this as a solution—to get what is needed elsewhere while enjoying what they can with one another. So then what?
Sometimes can loosen up the rigidity of a position: “Maybe I am willing to try it your way once”, “All right, I’m willing to do that occasionally.” Sometimes that’s enough to break the stalemate. Realistically, it’s not nearly close enough for many people. When what is wanted is enthusiastic co-operation in the sex acts of , a grudging occasional compliance is a pretty poor substitute, but perhaps better than not at all.
And on that discouraging note is pretty well where it has to remain. For many individuals, , family, economic considerations, habit, will their ideal sex life. It becomes less important over the years for many people. For those for whom years without getting what they most desire becomes more distressing some major decisions have to be made—end the relationship, cheat, try negotiating one more time. I have known couples who have tried all of these approaches. Sometimes they “work”, sometimes not. As I said in the title of this piece, sometimes there just are not any ideal solutions. | positive |
Here’s why you should be making the switch to LUCA Plus | LUCA Plus Skip to content Events , Resources, Articles Event Calendar Resources Blog Small Business | Your Industry Here’s why you should be making the switch to LUCA Plus LUCA PlusOctober 18, 2021 If 73% of SMEs say that issuing invoices promptly and correctly is crucial to combat late payments, then making the switch to LUCA Plus should be a no-brainer! To date, LUCA Plus has helped several sole traders, small to medium-sized businesses and micro businesses solve the challenges caused by manually processing invoices, chasing payments and removing the potential risk of invoice fraud. So if you’re not ready to yet make the switch, here is why you should: It’s estimated that a sole trader spends an average of 30 hours a month processing invoices and bills We understand that many Australian businesses are also recovering from maintaining positive cash flow, requiring twice as much effort in bookkeeping tasks and extra vigilance in digital transactions. So here is a quick calculation to get you thinking so you can make the switch: The average invoice processing cost for a paper invoice is $30.87, whereas the average invoice processing cost for a PDF invoice is $27.67, according to the Australian Tax Office (ATO). Currently, let’s say you generate twenty (20) invoices a month. The cost for a paper invoice is $30.87. The cost for a PDF invoice is $27.67. You’re unnecessarily spending $617.40 on paper invoices and $552.80 on PDF invoices. That amount could have been spent on marketing or investing in tech! Not to mention, given the manual effort required to complete these tasks, you are also spending an extra 20-30 hours a month. If you switch to LUCA Plus, you save hundreds of dollars on processing invoices and take back 30 hours of valuable time. Imagine what you can do with an extra 30 hours a month! Start my free 30-day Trial The rise of invoice fraud and what you can do about it Whether we choose to ignore it, it’s not going away! Since COVID-19 this year, Scamwatch has reported a significant rise in payment redirection scams costing Australia’s small businesses $14M in losses. So how does LUCA Plus help you avoid being part of this statistic? Let’s take our customer Ariel who runs My VIP Cleaning Company. Her contractors send her an e-invoice from their LUCA Plus Solo Plan, which lands directly inside her QuickBooks Accounting software account. Ariel simply logs into her QuickBooks account, ready to reconcile the invoice (as it’s from a trusted sender), which is now ready for payment! In other words, you’re eliminating the potential of scammers interfering with your email and changing the PDF invoice in your inbox. So if you’re a contractor working still using an excel spreadsheet or convert a word document into a PDF, its time to make the switch to LUCA Plus! Start my free 30-day Trial Time is of the essence for Sole Traders and Freelancers A massive chunk of time is generally spent on admin, tracking payments, reconciling invoices, and managing bills. That means spending extra hours on manual bookkeeping tasks. How does LUCA Plus help you get your time back to focus on getting clients and spending time with friends and family? Take one of our customers Yanina, an artist & freelancer. Yanina worked out quickly that LUCA Plus eliminates the manual process behind creating, sending and reconciling her payments. The best news for her, she now concentrates on business growth. Start my free 30-day Trial We hear you our fellow Startup and SME community Efficiency is a top priority for every Startup and SME business owner. May it be getting invoices paid on time or projecting income to make smarter decisions. Approximately 92% of SMEs believe they would have generated more revenue over the past 12 months if their cash flow had been in order. Shelley Hon, the CEO & Founder at Odele Cosmetics, made the switch and is repeatedly reaping the benefits of using LUCA Plus for her business. She now gets paid faster, and her bookkeeping errors have been reduced, therefore, saving hours processing invoices and bills.

ALL FOUR STARS: Meet Team Gladys! My Round-the-World Travels My Plays & Screenplays Middle-Grade Book Recommendations Interviews Events Tara’s mailing list Contact Tag Archives: advice So you want to get your children’s book published? Posted on February 19, 2020 by Tara Dairman 1 My first published children’s book. Only a nine-year process! With some regularity, I get e-mails from people who have written a book for children and would like advice on how to get it published. The first thing I always tell them is “Congratulations! Writing a book is a huge accomplishment!” (Seriously. It took me seven years to write my own first children’s novel, All Four Stars, and then a few more years of revising, agent-seeking, publisher-seeking, and editing before it hit the shelves.) In any case, since I recently wrote out a long response to one of these e-mails, I thought that I would share here what I would currently know and advise for those who seek traditional publication for a middle-grade, YA, or picture book. (And who, I assume, actually have a finished manuscript, not just an idea for one or a half-finished draft.) Join SCBWI and attend a conference: One of the best things a newbie to the kidlit world can do is join SCBWI (the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators), if you’re not already a member. There are branches all over the world. This is a great way to start learning about the children’s book industry, and if you attend a conference (either a regional or national one–highly recommended) not only can you take workshops with published children’s authors, but you can also interface with agents and editors and sometimes have a chance to pay for a critique from an agent, editor, or published author. Some branches have mentorship programs available as well. And if your branch has monthly meetings, that’s a great way to meet some other childrens’ writers in your area, form a critique group, network, and learn. Membership costs around $80 a year, and attending conferences costs more, but remember, it’s all tax-deductible. 🙂 Get critiqued: Join/form a critique group with other writers (preferably other people writing for the same age group you are, whether middle grade, young adult, or picture books) if you haven’t already. Having your work critiqued by other serious writers, whether aspiring or published, is an important way to get feedback and improve your work. (And going back for a moment…Step 0? Hopefully you are already doing this, but read widely in the genre/age group you are attempting to be published in. Have you read at least 50-100 books for that age group that have been published in the last 5 years? If not, do this before anything else, so you can see if and where your work may fit in the market and come up with some current “comp” titles that you can later use in your query letter.) Seek an agent: When your manuscript is revised, polished, and absolutely as good as you and your critique partners can make it, then it’s time to look for an agent. You will need an agent if you seek to be traditionally published by one of the large or medium-sized US children’s publishers (the “Big 5” are Penguin Random House, Simon & Schuster, Hachette, Macmillan, and HarperCollins, and other well-established companies like Scholastic, Candlewick, Algonquin, Bloomsbury, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, and Sourcebooks are also in this category), as they don’t accept unsolicited submissions. (The one exception to that is that sometimes editors who are presenting at an SCBWI or other writing conference open their submissions to attendees for a certain period after the conference.) Good places to start to research agents are querytracker.net, literaryrambles.com, and the Absolute Write forums. What are you looking for? An agent who is with a reputable agency; who ideally has at least some sales record in the genre/age group you are writing in (or, if they’re new, are at an agency with a strong record); and who, in interviews/on social media etc. expresses something that makes you think they might be a good fit for your work. You should also check out pitchwars.org, and there are sometimes other opportunities/hashtags on Twitter for pitching your work to agents, such as #DVPit, which focuses on amplifying diverse and underrepresented voices. (Twitter is a good place to be in general if you’re seeking an agent, as many are active on there and might tweet about what they’re looking for.) Finally, to really dig into an agent’s history of sales, you can buy a membership to Publisher’s Marketplace and study the deal histories there. In addition, you should probably subscribe to Publisher’s Weekly Children’s Bookshelf, a biweekly (and free!) e-mail that not only covers news in the kidlit industry, but also announces most of the higher-profile book deals being made and can give you a sense of what’s selling for publication in the industry. As it includes the deal-making agent’s name and the publisher, this is another place for you to do a little agent research. You generally pitch agents by sending them a one-page query e-mail that includes a brief pitch of your story and a brief bio. If you don’t know about proper query format, definitely research the “success stories” on querytracker to familiarize yourself with good queries. Mine is in there at https://querytracker.net/success/tara_dairman.php. Stick closely to the one-page limit and hone your pitch to really grab an agent’s attention. Use your critique group to help with this! (Also, this is an area where, if you know a published author, you may be able to ask for a favor in the form of feedback. While I wouldn’t have time to read and critique someone’s manuscript for them–at least, not for free–I’m often willing to look over a one-page query letter and share a few pointers for someone who is serious about trying to pitch themselves to the industry.) Please note that many people query 50 or more agents before finding representation. I advise sending your query out in small batches (5-7 or so) so that if it’s not getting the results you want you can go back and revise it before sending out to more agents. If you snag an agent’s attention, they will request some (a “partial”) or all (a “full”) of your manuscript. It may take them months to get back to you after that, though–unfortunately, that’s normal, as agents are extremely busy with their current clients. The best thing to do during that time is to work on your next book! And/or seek a publisher directly: There are a few smaller but reputable children’s publishers that accept unsolicited, unagented manuscripts, and you could query them directly as well. Off the top of my head, here are a few I believe are still open to submissions, but definitely check their websites to confirm, and carefully follow all submissions guidelines. -Holiday House -Chronicle -Charlesbridge -Peachtree -Albert Whitman -Boyds Mills -Carolrhoda/Lerner (periodic open calls) -Pelican -Page Street -Shadow Mountain I’m sure you can find more in the Children’s Writers and Illustrators Market (published yearly and available at the library if you don’t want to purchase). That’s all I’ve got for now. Surely I’ve missed things–if there’s information that you know and think I should include here, please leave a comment and I’ll update when I can. If you have questions, please leave a comment and I’ll answer when I can! And good luck on your publishing journey.

It seems to be time for my monthly blog update. First of all, I have a new post up today at EMU’s Debuts called “Wisdom from the 2013 EMLA Retreat.” The title pretty much says it all: It’s filled with great bits of advice that I picked up from other writers at the recent retreat for clients of Erin Murphy Literary Agency in Montana. Also, on my Facebook page yesterday, I shared a few tips that have been helping me speed up my drafting. I’m planning to expand this into a blog post soon (I swear!), but if you want to check them out now, you can find them in the comments here. In ALL FOUR STARS news, I’ve seen a preliminary sketch of the cover, and it’s amazing. I cannot wait until I have the final art to share with you! I’ve also been working on writing acknowledgements and even taking a stab at jacket copy (the summary of the book that goes on the inside flap or back cover), which has been only slightly nerve-wracking. I’ll leave you now with a few pictures from the EMLA retreat, which was definitely one of the more fun and informative weekends of my writing career. Here I am with my Colorado-dwelling buddies Jeannie Mobley and Cindy Strandvold on Ugly Sweater Night. None of us won an ugliest sweater prize (mine was deemed “too cute” by one of the judges–bah!), but Cindy was a finalist for ugliest ensemble! I finally got to meet a bunch of my fellow bloggers from EMU’s Debuts in person! From the top left, we have Christine Hayes, Kevan Atteberry, Pat Zietlow Miller, Laurie Ann Thompson, and Joshua McCune, then in the front row are Carol Brendler and me. Some of us took a hike to a local waterfall near Big Sky. I am sporting my new EMLA T-shirt, which I won for having been to the most countries. That round-the-world honeymoon just keeps paying off. 🙂 Hope your July is going well!

Go ahead. Say it.
The idea that having minority friendships inoculates a person against being racist is so silly that it's become a cliche. Just saying "some of my best friends are..." can elicit eye rolls before the sentence is even finished.
But that doesn't mean it won't work.
A new study of more than 450 Americans finds that the mere mention of minority friends can reduce how racist a person seems to be toward that minority group. But, edgy joke-teller beware: it only helps so much.
"People, it seems, are pretty good at piecing together bits of information to form an impression of someone – and minority friends are only a small part of the equation," said University of Queensland doctoral student Michael Thai, the lead author of the paper published this month in the peer-reviewed journal Social Psychological and Personality Science.
"Some of my best friends are moderates!" -- @BernieSanders — Kasie Hunt (@kasie) February 3, 2016
People do not only often claim minority friendships to appear less prejudiced but they also seem to think it works, past studies have found. But Thai and his University of Queensland colleagues wanted to know whether those people were right.
[Three quarters of whites don't have any non-white friends]
To better understand how and whether the appearance of having minority friendships protected someone against a charge of prejudice — having "moral credentials" — they set up two experiments.
In the first, participants were presented with a Facebook profile belonging to a white man surrounded either by white friends, white friends and one Asian friend, or white friends and many Asian friends. The profile also included a post from the man that was either clearly anti-Asian — such as "so sick of Asians right now," or "Asians are annoying" — or said nothing of Asians at all.
The second experiment was similar, but lacked visual cues of the white man's friends. Instead, the Facebook posts were simply prefaced by disclaimers — "one of my best friends is Asian, but...", "some of my best friends are Asian, but...", etc.
The profiles shown to participants. (From the study: "Friends With Moral Credentials: Minority Friendships Reduce Attributions of Racism for Majority Group Members Who Make Conceivably Racist Statements")
Participants were then asked to judge the man's racism and how well-intentioned, offensive and upsetting they found his statement.
The 203 white Americans and 254 Asian Americans participants were all recruited through Amazon Mechanical Turk, a service that allows individuals to pay others to complete tasks. (The service, the researchers argue, is a better alternative to the typical sample of students at a researcher's college or university.)
[The most racist places in America, according to Google]
Unsurprisingly, having Asian friends had no effect on the man's perceived racism when his post had nothing to do with race.
But, visual cue or not, his supposed Asian friendships seemed to help cushion the blow of his anti-Asian statement, resulting in lower perceived racism. A similar pattern emerged for how malicious, offensive and upsetting the participants found the statement: Asian and white participants were less taken aback by the prejudiced statement when the man appeared to have Asian friends.
But that didn't completely eliminate the perceived racism. Having those friends just made the white man seem less racist than if he had no Asian friends.
Still, the authors conclude, "our findings suggest that minority friendships can potentially be exploited to soften the backlash that is typically expected from observers when prejudice is expressed."
It isn't clear whether how broadly applicable the results of the study are. In fact, past research has found that a person's gay friends help to ease perceptions of homophobia, but only for straight participants. The opposite could also be true: The effect could be even more severe for groups with whom the (white) majority group has a worse historical track record—black Americans, for example.

Garbage day in Vancouver is complicated. Because the schedule shifts each time a holiday occurs, your assigned day for pickup regularly changes. And because your assigned day regularly changes, it is easy to forget when you’re to put your refuse at the curb.
A little more than a year ago, David Eaves, a fresh-faced and effusive public policy activist, speculated on his blog that there had to be a way, perhaps something like an iPhone app, to make it easier to keep track.
He speculated one could, using public data from the city, establish a service that would eliminate forgetfulness and help make the city cleaner, healthier and more efficient. Two Vancouver computer programmers—Luke Closs and Kevin Jones—took up the project and within a few months, VanTrash was launched. A year later, 3,000 people use the free service to either update calendars on their computers or BlackBerries, or receive email reminders of approaching garbage days.
This, in its own way, might be the future of governance. A future in which the principles of free information, collaboration and connection allow citizens—and perhaps businesses as well—to provide what government does now in more efficient, useful ways. “You have information that in the hands of other people can become valuable,” explains Eaves. “That’s VanTrash. We can augment and extend what it is that you do.
And we can do it in simpler, cheaper and clever ways.” At the essence of theories like open data and open government is the belief that when information—from garbage routes to data on the efficiency of government services—is widely accessible, government is not only more accountable and transparent, but citizens are empowered to engage in public policy and create their own solutions.
Last fall, Vancouver launched an open data catalogue (data.vancouver.ca) meant to
compile and distribute municipal information. Cities such as Edmonton, Ottawa and Toronto are pursuing similar projects. Vancouver is now soliciting help for its green city agenda (talkgreentous.ca), while applications using data in Toronto make it easier to find available child care in your neighbourhood and plan trips on public transit. Everything from restaurant inspection reports to local festival events are being mapped.
One of Barack Obama’s first acts after his inauguration was to sign a memorandum of “transparency and open government.” Not only was information, where possible by law, to be readily disclosed and easily accessible, but Americans, he wrote, should be offered “increased opportunities to participate in policy-making.” Data.gov was established as a clearinghouse for data and, through challenge.gov, federal agencies and departments are now offering prizes for ideas to implement and improve services. Current challenges include a call to help improve school lunches and a post from NASA seeking a design for a fuel-efficient aircraft (top prize for the latter is US$1.5-million).
While the discussion in Ottawa has not turned so dramatically, there are signs of coming revolution. The federal public service utilizes GCPedia—a sort of internal Wikipedia—to facilitate collaboration and the sharing of information. Private initiatives run by interested and capable citizens like threehundredeight.com (which compiles public polling data) and punditsguide.ca (which aggregates data on riding demographics and election results) are opening up the political process to new scrutiny. Howdtheyvote.ca and openparliament.ca make it easy to track the votes and debates of MPs in the House of Commons.
Disclosed.ca compiles information on government contracts, while governmentexpenses.ca aims to do the same for the expenses of public officials.
Eaves, perhaps the movement’s leading preacher in Canada, sees big change as inevitable. He has launched datadotgc.ca, which collects already available data from the federal government, to demonstrate what might be possible. And he can foresee a day when a few clicks on a handheld device will be enough to access not only real estate information for a desired neighbourhood, but data on schools, hospitals, parks and pollutant sources nearby. He talks hopefully of doctors being able to access information on the environmental conditions of the communities they serve.
Information, in this populist, technical future, becomes the infrastructure of civil society. The result will be something like a better way to remember when the trash has to go out. “We’re not going to become a productive superpower because we build better roads,” he says. “What is going to do it is a million programs like VanTrash that make hundreds and thousands and millions of Canadians marginally more productive, but in 3,000 different ways.” | positive |

Five Years: Who Would Win In A Fight Between...
Ahh, the age old question: who would win in a fight between... and... ? Now we can answer that Venture Bros. style with (hopefully) minor controversy. I've ranked 32 past and present (dead and alive) villains from the series based on the number of appearances, order of appearance and other random factors and assembled them into a bracket. Now it's up to you guys to vote on who you think should (or who you want to) win.
Each round will last three days (noon until noon) and you can vote on each different battle once an hour (you'll know if you can vote because the 'VOTE' button will appear). If a round ends and a battle is tied then unique votes will be tallied up and whoever has more of those will win. If it's still a tie then I guess I'll do a coin toss but hopefully it won't come to that.
Don't see your favorite or think I did the rankings wrong? Well, sorry but that's how it goes I guess. Feel free to send suggestions and I may consider them if I ever make another thing like this! Also remember that in the last couple of rounds you will have to scroll down a bit to see the matches. Now get voting!
Voting for the final round ends at noon eastern on October 15th.

The REX allows your machine to accomplish a specific set of eye-tracking gestures, including scrolling, zooming and selecting items. That was true last year, too, though this time the experience generally feels more polished. In part, that's because the Gaze UI now supports keyboard input, whereas last year it was completely touchpad-based (and we all know touchpads aren't the most reliable things even under normal circumstances).
Before you can get started, though, you need to do a one-time calibration process, which involves following a circle moving around the screen. As it happens, that's the same setup procedure we went through when we tested out Gaze last year, except it felt smoother and less buggy than it did last time. In any case, as we said, this is a short process you'll only have to undergo once, so the only thing that really matters is that you can get it to work.
As for those shortcuts, you only need to remember three keys before you can consider yourself a master: Delete, Insert and the squiggly line that sits below the Esc. key. As a beginner, you'll want to familiarize yourself with Delete first, as that's what you need to select things -- to click on them with your eyes, if you will. It really is very simple: just look at something and press the Delete key. More advanced users can use the squiggle line to expose all open apps, and then use the gaze-and-delete trick to select one. It's a neat trick for toggling through open programs, though it'd be just as efficient to swipe in from the left side of your screen / touchpad. Windows 8 is already pretty good at that, after all.
To scroll through things, hold down Insert and look toward the part of the page where you want to scroll. Two caveats here: though this works in web browsers, you can't yet scroll horizontally through Metro-style apps. Two: the scrolling speeds are slow -- slower, perhaps, than what you're used to. If you really want to cut through huge blocks of text, you're still better off using the scroll wheel on your mouse.
Zooming might be our favorite trick of them all. In our hands-on demo, we stared at a world map, and then used the scroll wheel on a mouse to zoom in on that particular country. It worked flawlessly, as did all the gestures -- even when we selected tiny countries like Denmark and Lithuania we were able to home in quickly and precisely. We'll say this too: the technology works even if you normally have a little trouble keeping your eyes focused on a given point. I should know: I have a mild case of strabismus.
For now, as we said, only developers can get their hands on this. In shelling out $1,000 for the kit, they get access to Tobii's SDK, so they'll have the chance to program some apps of their own. The consumer version will follow later this fall -- albeit in small quanities, though. And the year after that? A Tobii rep told us the next step is for device makers to integrate the Gaze UI directly into their products, whether they're laptops, desktops or something else. (Tobii did hint that they were aiming to implement the technology in more than just computers. We're calling it now: our money's on tablets.) Until then, we're already impressed by how much smoother the experience has gotten in just a year. Now if only it could be had for less than $1,000.

(Photo by Jordan Strauss/Invision/AP) LOS ANGELES (AP) — In a milestone win that instantly expanded the Oscars’ horizons, Bong Joon Ho’s masterfully devious class satire “Parasite” became the first non-English language film to win best picture in the 92-year history of the Academy Awards. “Parasite” took Hollywood’s top prize on Sunday night, along with awards for best director, best international film and best screenplay. In a year dominated by period epics — “1917,” “Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood,” “The Irishman” — the film academy instead went overseas, to South Korea, to reward a contemporary and unsettling portrait of social inequality in “Parasite.” True to its name, “Parasite” simply got under the skin of Oscar voters, attaching itself to the American awards season and, ultimately, to history. The win was a watershed moment for the Academy Awards, which has long been content to relegate international films to their own category. But in recent years, to diversify its membership, the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences has invited many more overseas voters. More Oscars coverage – A breakdown of the gowns, bling and beauty from the Oscars – South Koreans explode with joy over 'Parasite' Oscar wins – Final list of Academy Award winners Multiple standing ovations greeted Bong’s several wins. “I am ready to drink tonight,” Bong said, prompting roars from the crowd. Unexpectedly called up again for best director, Bong saluted his fellow nominees, particularly Martin Scorsese, and concluded: “Now I’m ready to drink until tomorrow.” After the Dolby Theatre had emptied out, the “Parasite” team still remained on the stage, soaking in their win. Backstage, Bong was still gobsmacked. “It’s really f—-ing crazy,” he told reporters, clutching his awards. The victory for “Parasite” — which had echoes of the surprise win by “Moonlight” over “La La Land” three years ago — came in a year when many criticized the lack of diversity in the nominees and the absence of female filmmakers. But the triumph for “Parasite,” the Palme d’Or-winner at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, enabled Hollywood to flip the script and signal progress, nevertheless. No Korean film had ever won an Oscar before. In doing so, the film academy turned away another history-making event, again denying Netflix its first best-picture win despite two contenders in “The Irishman” and “Marriage Story,” and a big-spending awards campaign blitz. Sam Mendes’ audaciously conceived World War I film “1917,” made to seem one continuous shot, had been the clear favorite heading into Oscars, having won nearly all the precursor awards, including top honors from the Producers Guild, the Directors Guild, the Golden Globes and the BAFTAs. In the end, “1917” went home with three awards for its technical virtuosity: Roger Deakins’ cinematography, visual effects and sound mixing. All of the acting winners — Brad Pitt, Renée Zellweger, Joaquin Phoenix and Laura Dern — went as expected. While Pitt, notching his first acting Oscar, had regaled audiences with one-liners in the run-up to Sunday, he began his comments on a political note. “They told me I have 45 seconds to speak, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week,” Pitt said, alluding to the impeachment hearings before mentioning director Quentin Tarantino. “I’m thinking maybe Quentin does a movie about it.” Pitt said the honor had given him reason to reflect on his fairy-tale journey in the film industry, going back to when he moved to Los Angeles from Missouri. “Once upon a time in Hollywood,” said Pitt. “Ain’t that the truth.” ADVERTISEMENT Zellweger completed a comeback, winning her second Academy Award for her fragile but indomitable Judy Garland in “Judy.” Dern won for her performance as a divorce attorney in Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story.” Accepting her first Oscar, Dern thanked her in-attendance parents, “my legends, Diane Ladd and Bruce Dern.” Phoenix, long one of Hollywood’s most respected actors, took best actor for his limber but morose Joker. In his acceptance speech, Phoenix spoke deliberately about a host of issues, including sexism and racism in the film industry, ecological disaster and vegetarianism. Full Coverage: Academy Awards “I’ve been a scoundrel in my life. I’ve been selfish, I’ve been cruel at times and hard to work with. But so many of you in this room have given me a second chance,” Phoenix said. When people guide each other toward redemption, he added, “that is the best of humanity.” He concluded quoting a lyric of his deceased brother, River Phoenix: “Run to the rescue with love and peace will follow.” For the 87th time, no women were nominated for best director this year, a subject that was woven into the entire ceremony — and even into some attendees’ clothing. Natalie Portman wore a cape lined with the names of female filmmakers who weren’t nominated for their direction, including Lulu Wang (“The Farewell”), Greta Gerwig (“Little Women”) and Mati Diop (“Atlantics”). Coming on a rare rainy day in Los Angeles, the ceremony was soggy and song-heavy. Some performances, like Eminem’s performance of “Lose Yourself,” were unexpected (and drew a wan response from Scorsese). All of the song nominees performed, including Elton John who won with his longtime songwriting partner Bernie Taupin for their “Rocketman” tune. The hostless ceremony opened on a note of inclusion, with Janelle Monae performing “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” and her own song, “Come Alive,” with an assist from Billy Porter. “I’m so proud to be standing here as a black queer artist telling stories,” Monae said. “Happy Black History Month.” Two former Oscar hosts, Chris Rock and Steve Martin, provided the opening monologue. “An incredible demotion,” Martin called it. Martin also reminded that something was missing from this year’s directing nominees. “Vaginas!” Rock replied. There were milestones beyond “Parasite.” In winning best adapted screenplay for his Nazi satire “Jojo Rabbit,” the New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi became the first indigenous director ever to win an Oscar. He dedicated the award to “all the indigenous kids in the world who want to do art, dance and write stories.” “We are the original storytellers,” Waititi said. “Joker” composer Hildur Guðnadóttir became only the third woman to ever win best original score. ”To the girls, to the women, to the mothers, to the daughters who hear the music opening within, please speak up,” said Guðnadóttir. “We need to hear your voices.” Awards were spread around to all of the best picture nominees, with the lone exception being Scorsese’s 10-time nominee “The Irishman.” When Bong mentioned his admiration of Scorsese, an impromptu tribute broke out, with the Dolby Theatre giving Scorsese a standing ovation. The car racing throwback “Ford v Ferrari” won both editing and sound editing. Gerwig’s Louisa May Alcott adaptation “Little Women” won for Jacqueline Durran’s costume design. “Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood” won for Barbara Ling’s production design. Netflix didn’t go home empty handed. Aside from Dern’s win for “Marriage Story,” the streamer’s “American Factory” won best documentary. The film is the first release from Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground Productions. Pixar extended its domination of the best animated film category, winning for “Toy Story 4.” It’s the 10th Pixar film to win the award and second “Toy Story” film to do so, following the previous 2010 installment. It was an early award for the Walt Disney Co., which despite amassing a record $13 billion in worldwide box office last year and owning the network the Oscars are broadcast on, played a minor role in the ceremony. The bulk of its awards came from 20th Century Fox (“Ford v Ferrari”) and Fox Searchlight (“Jojo Rabbit”), both of which the company took control of after its $71.3 billion acquisition of 21st Century Fox last year. Disney’s ABC hoped a widely watched field of nominees — including the $1 billion-grossing “Joker” — will help viewership. Last year’s show garnered 29.6 million viewers, a 12% uptick. ___ AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr contributed to this report. ___ Follow AP Film Writer Jake Coyle at: http://twitter.com/jakecoyleAP AP NEWS Top Stories Video Contact Us Accessibility Statement Cookie Settings Download AP NEWS Connect with the definitive source for global and local news More from AP ap.org AP Insights AP Definitive Source Blog AP Images Spotlight AP Explore AP Books AP Stylebook Follow AP The Associated Press About Contact Customer Support Careers Terms & Conditions Privacy All contents © copyright 2022 The Associated Press.

When Terry Ryan brought his car to Roche's Automotive Services in the fall to get a fan belt fixed, he thought it would be at the garage for a couple of days.
Five months later, he's still waiting to hear when it'll be ready.
"It's frustrating. It's frustrating, to say the least," he said.
"Especially when it's not only me relying on it — it's my family."
'No peep' from garage
Last November, Ryan was about to go play hockey in Paradise, when he noticed the fan belt had popped off his 2011 Kia Soul.
It was a recurring problem, so he wanted to get it replaced — and also get both sets of keys for the vehicle fixed.

When he called to check in with Roche's Automotive on Brookfield Road in St. John's, he was told it would take some time, because the garage was busy.
Ryan said it wasn't a big deal at the time, because he had access to a work vehicle. But when his work ended just before Christmas, he was left without a car.
"I go back in [to Roche's], and there's no peep," he said. "So I left it, I said, 'Maybe after holidays.'"
The money I'm spending on transportation, and the places myself, my wife, and my kids can't get to, as a result of him having my car still. - Terry Ryan, customer of Roche's Automotive
Ryan returned to the garage in early January — but the business was still closed.
"I've known [owner Peter Roche] for 20 years. so I figured, 'OK, I'll call him, I'll see what's up.' I left some notes out front, I phoned. Nothing," he said.
Ryan said his transportation costs were adding up: he was still making payments on his Kia, while spending money on cabs and buses to get back and forth from his home in Mount Pearl.
He said he's also worried about the current state of the car, since he has seen it buried under snow outside the garage for months.
'I just want my car'
Ryan said he has visited the garage almost every day for the past few months, but to no avail.
He said he and his whole family have given Roche's Automotive their business for years, so when he'd heard about Peter Roche's legal troubles and reports of being in an accident, he wanted to give the garage owner some leeway.
But he said he hasn't heard anything back.
Ryan said enough is enough.
"I want to give him the benefit of the doubt. But I have a big concern about my own family, and my own transportation every day, and the money I'm spending on transportation, and the places myself, my wife, and my kids can't get to, as a result of him having my car still," he said.
He said he wants his car and his keys fixed.
"I just want my car, and I want it now," Ryan said.
"If I don't get some answers soon, then we're going to have to take the next step," he added, noting he may have to seek legal advice.
'Back to square one'
Ryan isn't the only person having issues with Roche's Automotive.
Amy Hancock said she was disgusted to discover her car wasn't working again, about an hour after she had finally picked it up from Roche's Automotive. (Cal Tobin/CBC)
Amy Hancock also brought her 2008 Mazda there for repairs last November.
She spoke with CBC Investigates in March, and finally got her car back April 7.
Hancock said Peter Roche tried to make her pay for the repairs, but she argued that he hadn't given her an estimate or cleared the work with her beforehand. He eventually let her take the vehicle, free of charge.
"[Roche] said it was perfect and I'd have no more problems with it," she said.
"About an hour later, everything was starting to go wrong with it again — the same problems I was having before."
Amy Hancock said the local Mazda dealership told her that her vehicle needs at least $3,000 worth of work. (Cal Tobin/CBC)
Hancock said she felt disgusted.
"I've got two kids that I'm driving around with, and I wanted the car back in running condition. It's just so frustrating," she said.
Penney Mazda had a look at Hancock's vehicle, and told her it needs at least $3,000 worth of work.
"I don't know what I'm going to do," Hancock said.
"The car's not really worth that much money. I don't have that much money."
Hancock said she contacted Roche about the car not working.
"[Roche] was saying he had an open line of communication with me now, and he was going to get my car fixed, he was going to make this right. And now his phone is not working," she said.
"The shop is down there, still not open for business. I still can't get ahold of anybody, again. So, back to square one."
Roche says he'll fix their vehicles
Roche appeared at provincial court in St. John's Wednesday on an unrelated matter.
Both Roche and his company, Roche's Automotive, face dozens of counts under the Highway Traffic Act, over allegedly fraudulent school bus inspections.

Roche is also personally facing 44 charges of forgery and one count of obstruction of justice under the Criminal Code.
He and the company have pleaded not guilty.
A two-day trial is scheduled for August.
While at court, Roche gave CBC Investigates similar information to what he'd said a month ago — that he'd been involved in a serious accident, and has been in recovery ever since.
He said a couple of employees will open the garage Thursday, and that if he gets clearance from his doctor, he will be back to work on May 1.
Roche said he will get in touch with Ryan, and have his car returned by Friday.
He also said he will reach out to Hancock to get her car fixed.
Garage facing big tax bills
CBC Investigates has learned that Roche's Automotive is facing allegations related to unpaid taxes.
The City of St. John's filed court documents in February, seeking more than $51,000 in unpaid property taxes from Roche's Automotive.
According to the documents, the city said the garage hasn't paid its commercial realty tax plus interest from July 1, 2012 to the end of December 2016.
No statement of defence has been filed to date.
In 2015, the Canada Revenue Agency filed documents in Federal Court against Roche's Automotive for not paying about $160,000 in taxes. | positive |
Proposed EPA Changes Add Just $7 To Cost Of Cars
June 9th, 2014 by Christopher DeMorro
Some people just love to throw a temper tantrum, and we’re seeing some predictably gloomy predictions regarding the EPA’s proposed changes to managing carbon emissions. Some are predicting increased utility rates and mass unemployment, but cooler heads are meeting these accusations with studies of their own.
A new study suggests that it would only cost automakers about $7 per car to comply with the EPA’s new regulations. The study focuses on higher electric rates, and finds that automakers can cover the extra cost by literally pocket change, according to Green Car Reports.
There’s actually even more to the study than that. Entitled Severe Weather and Manufacturing in America: Comparing the Costs of Droughts, Storms, and Extreme Temperatures with the Cost of the New EPA Standards, it focuses on what major businesses have to lose by not acting on climate change. Charging an extra $7 per car to cover the cost of extra electricity is small potatoes compared to the potential costs of climate change and extreme weather. Shutting down an assembly line at a major auto plant could cost a company as much as $1.25 million…per hour. In comparison, the higher electric rates will cost a factory that makes 150,000 vehicles per year an extra $1.05 million, about 20% less than a single lost hour of production.
Fighting climate change isn’t just about common sense…it’s about dollars and sense. That’s the only way we’ll get through to some of these doubters.

Question:Does the Bag of the warning light flares made from cheap materials? Answer:Bag is not cheap material, outside and inside zippers are smooth and strong. Question:Lights just arrived. I've removed both screws from 2 lights and cannot get either open to install batteries. What is the trick to this? Answer:just pull on the hook, it will pop open. It has a good seal to keep out water. Question:Why aaa battery (instead of aa, w/much greater capacity)? almost the same size & cost. especially in equipment which may remain idle for years Answer:You probably want an answer from a manufacturer, but as a purchaser of these I will answer. 3 AAA batteries are significantly smaller than 3 AA batteries. These disks are a lot larger than I expected, and with 3 AA batteries they would have to be a lot larger. If you use lithium batteries, they'll have adequate power and will sit idle a long time with no issues. I'm very pleased with how these work and hope I dont need to use them. Question:Are these the same as wagan fred lights? Answer:These bright flashing lights draw much more attention than fred flashing lights. A six-pack of single-use flares costs about as much as a three-pack of these. For most drivers, a three pack of these LED Road Flares makes more sense. If you are a driver, new or experienced, young or old, you need these in your vehicle.

Akka HTTP 10.1.0-RC1 Released
Dear hakkers,
as a special present for the holidays, we are happy to announce Akka Http 10.1.0-RC1, the first release candidate of the upcoming minor release series of Akka HTTP. The goal for this upcoming minor release is to be able to cleanup some technical debt and make the switch to Akka 2.5 which in the future will enable us to make use of features only available in Akka 2.5. Also, the new client pool implementation is now the default.
We wish everyone happy holidays and a happy new year! Thanks to all our users and contributors for all the great feedback and collaboration!
The most important changes for this release are
Removing support for Akka 2.4.x which is at its end-of-life with the end of 2017. In the future, this will allow us to make use of features that only Akka 2.5 supports.
Removing methods that have been deprecated during the life-time of Akka HTTP 10.0.x. For now, methods only deprecated in the last release of Akka HTTP, 10.0.11, are not yet removed to allow for a smooth transition.
The new client pool implementation introduced in 10.0.11 is now the default. Please try it out and provide feedback during the RC period of this release so we can iron out any problems we may have missed initially.
Documentation has now ~almost~ completely been consolidated between Scala and Java pages. Hundreds of directive documentation pages have been merged in a tireless effort by @jonas, @jlprat, and Akka team’s @raboof.

Akka is not an explicit dependency any more / Removal of Akka 2.4 support
Akka HTTP 10.0.x has always supported Akka 2.5, while allowing users to still remain on Akka 2.4.x if they choose to do so. By now Akka 2.4 has reached its end of life. Therefore, Akka HTTP 10.1.x only supports Akka 2.5 (and future versions during the life of Akka HTTP 10.1.x) so we will be able to make of features only provided by Akka 2.5.
Using Akka HTTP with Akka 2.5 used to be a bit confusing, because Akka HTTP explicitly depended on Akka 2.4. Trying to use it together with Akka 2.5, running an Akka HTTP application could fail with class loading issues if you forgot to add a dependency to both akka-actor and akka-stream of the same version. For that reason, we changed the policy not to depend on akka-stream explicitly any more but mark it as a provided dependency in our build. That means that you will have to always add a manual dependency to akka-stream . Please make sure you have chosen and added a dependency to akka-stream when updating to the new version. (Veterans may remember this policy from spray.)
Deprecation Removals
Methods were removed that have been deprecated during the life-time of Akka HTTP 10.0.x. Methods that were only deprecated in the last release of Akka HTTP, 10.0.11, are not yet removed to allow for a smooth transition. In general, our guarantee for minor release updates is that code that compiled on the latest version of the previous minor release (10.0.11 in this case) should be both source and binary compatible with the latest version of the current minor release. We might make exceptions to the rule for cases where the maintenance burden seems greater than the risk of breaking major users / third-party libraries. We’ll treat any other binary incompatibilities as regressions.
New client pool implementation is now the default
The new client pool implementation introduced in 10.0.11 is now the default. In this release we fixed several bugs in the new client pool implementation and we want to foster its adoption. Please try it out and provide feedback during the RC period of this release so we can iron out any problems we may have missed initially. You can still fall back to the old implementation by setting akka.http.host-connection-pool.pool-implementation = legacy .

A few days ago, a fellow pro-science person was concerned about a tweet she received. Her antagonist was claiming that if my friend had all that time to tweet, then she obviously wasn’t working in academics as she claimed.
I have a Twitter feed that flies across the top right corner of my screen. I have over 1200 followers, and I follow the tweets well over that number. I have varied interests, but to be honest, there are too many tweets. I only respond or retweet things I happen to see when I look up to that upper right corner of my computer’s screen. I know I miss some good stuff. But I think I find a few dozen every day that lead me to read news articles or peer-reviewed journals. Occasionally, I run across a Tweet that makes me laugh or think.
Yes it takes time, but from the moment I wake up until I go to bed, I’m reading, writing, texting/messaging other scientists for ideas. We discuss books we’ve read. All of us in science writing work very hard to get where we are, which cause an epiphany bout the science deniers. I have a theory about their behavior and dismissal of science. I cannot be sure it applies to everyone; for example, there are some seriously deranged people who blame everything in science on Reptilians, Illuminati, Jews, and the US Government (run by Jews I suppose). There’s no logic with those types.
When I was in biochemistry research, we didn’t have access to computer managed cell separators or protein analyzers. Everything had to be done by hand from separating out the right cells, to removing the right proteins, growth factors, or receptor sites. Without getting into a detailed explanations of the process, to isolate proteins required a separation column that allowed you sample proteins of a particular molecular weight, so you could find the specific protein. The methodology is a bit different these days, but it’s still time consuming and sensitive.
My research involved isolating and testing a growth factor related to insulin. This wasn’t easy. A separation could take 48 hours, and you just don’t pour stuff in, go spend some time with your significant other, then return to the lab and say “voila, I’m done.” Even with computerization, which was only just entering laboratory equipment back when I was a kid, it still isn’t easy. I, and others like me, would be in the lab at 300AM, when only partiers were out on the Quad and the great security guard would share horrible coffee out of his thermos. But even today, I think of that coffee with nostalgic tears.
It’s easy dude
This leads me to a theory about the antivaccination cult (but we can just change that to global warming deniers, or evolution deniers, or any other wing nut science deniers). They think it’s easy.
I follow almost all of the pro-science (pro-vaccine) bloggers on the internet. I have had frank conversations with them with regards to infectious disease. Occasionally, it’s about politics, sports, or the zombie apocalypse.
Almost all of bloggers have advanced degrees and incredible writing skills. Many of them spent years upon years getting bachelor’s, MD’s, Ph.D.’s, J.D.’s and every other degree out there. It doesn’t make those of us with these credentials any better than anyone else (and I certainly mean no offense to those who made other, more satisfying and equally challenging, choices in life), but it means that you can look to some of them as people with years, if not decades, of intense study in our individual disciplines. From my perspective, to get to the level of knowledge that I have, I was required to spend thousands of days, tens of thousands of hours trying to be smarter, better, faster. OK, not so much faster.
To become a great baseball player, it takes thousands of hours of practice and study. The best athletes, I believe, are also the most intelligent ones. They watch film or observe their competitors for weaknesses and strengths. And you can’t Google “how to pitch a curve ball,” and then suddenly presume you will throw the best curve ball in the world. (As I know I have international readers. Just replace baseball with soccer. And replace curveball with bend it like Beckham.) And those are merely games! Yes, they are intense, high level games, but they are just games with little effect on life and death.
Similarly, you cannot expect to Google “how to induce an immune response” and then become an immunologist. I took several graduate and medical school level immunology courses, and I don’t claim to be an immunologist, and I have a broad background in biochemistry that allows me to understand it. But there are just so many points, so complex, and so detailed, to become an “expert” takes 10-20 years of study and research. Not 10-20 minutes. Or even 10-20 hours.
What the science deniers fail to understand is what it takes to become an expert in a field. The amount of sacrifice to spend 20 hours in a lab for weeks on end, to write syllabi and lecture notes, to teach an incoming class of freshmen what you know, to sit in a conference room with your best friends in the program trying to brainstorm a solution to a problem or an interpretation of one number, or to spend 100 hours writing the perfect peer-reviewed paper to get published. It’s incredibly difficult. And incredibly rewarding. Actually it’s not easy dude Yes, science is hard. Not impossible. Not mysterious. But to gather evidence in support or refutation of a hypothesis using the scientific method takes time and takes hard work. Every individual that I know in research gave up so much of their lives to just learn more about their unique area of science. It really wasn’t easy. And it’s not just for a year or two, it could be for a lifetime. It’s clear that the anti-science wing nuts (like the vaccine deniers) believe it’s all very easy. They have deluded themselves that a few minutes or hours on Google is equivalent to the expertise of a Ph.D. or MD who spent years on an important, but tiny scientific issue. They believe that Paul Offit, or Dorit Rubinstein Reiss, a Professor of Law at the University of California Hastings College of the Law, or anyone with that advanced degree and work, easily got to where they are in life. That somehow we all got our knowledge through an online university in the Barbados. In 3 hours. There are many stories about what people have done to advance the cause of medicine. Jonas Salk and Albert Sabin were laser focused on finding a vaccine for polio, and became, in fact, rivals because they were so diligent. The misnamed “war on cancer” involves hundreds of stories of physician researchers trying to find the best way to treat cancers. When the first ideas formed that hypothesized that radiation could effectively kill cancer cells, the researchers themselves were mortally harmed by the radiation itself. Ironically and sadly, some researchers.died or were permanently injured by the radiation. Some contracted particularly nasty forms of cancer because of their work. CDC infection control teams are always the first to head into the mouth of the lion of an outbreak, often risking their own lives. Of course, not all research is quite that dangerous, but that’s the devotion of many scientists, just to advance the mankind’s scientific knowledge. Not that my own research mattered as much as those individuals or groups I mentioned above, but I eventually evolved into studying cardiovascular disease particularly trying to treat small distal lesions in the coronary vasculature. We had developed a new tool that worked in animal studies, but now it was time to start clinical trials. Because cases can be long and difficult, the first interventional cardiology cases, in a typical hospital, begin around 6AM. Because these cardiologists were new to how the device worked, we had to train the cardiologist on how to use it, and what it would do. It was actually a large leap in technology, and it kind of removed the dogma of how cardiologists treat certain types of stenosis. Not being a morning person, I still had to be up at 4AM to be at an interventional cardiology lab at 5AM in Lubbock, Texas. Or freezing Calgary, Canada. Or a hectic county hospital in Los Angeles or Chicago or New York. I would then stay in the lab with cardiologists, techs, nurses, and whomever walked in until late in the evening. I’d do this for months on end, just to figure out a tiny problem with a stent or angioplasty or whatever. A cardiologist and I would pore over medical records trying to figure out why one patient did better than another. And we gave each other high fives when a patient would say “I feel so much better.” That simple device saved a few hundred lives a year, it was developed because a team of individuals in my company combined knowledge of cells, vascular physiology, fluid mechanics, plastics engineering, and torque (yeah, torque) to invent a new catheter. You could Google all day long and you wouldn’t be able to discover how to save a life of an individual with the coronary lesion that we attacked. And we didn’t do this by pretending to be knowledgeable about these areas–we were extremely knowledgeable. The vast majority of antivaccinationists, along with most pseudoscience-pushing types, don’t have the knowledge that results from hard work. They don’t understand what it is to put in 20 hours a day in study and research. They have no clue what it is to directly save lives. I used to have lunch with cardiology residents and fellows (fellows are kind of the next step of training in the more technical medical specialties), not because they wanted money from my Big Pharma wallet, but because they always wanted to hear about the new technology that they would try (interventional cardiology was like smart phone industry–new devices out every year). Then the conversation would wander to how hard they work. Twenty-four hour shifts. Classwork. Training medical students. Learning about how to use new devices. Trying to talk someone out of smoking. And when you’re in a cardiology lab, you have to wear a 40 kg lead apron. Physical and mental exhaustion was all over the place. But it was deeply satisfying, even to me. Yeah, thinking it’s easy does not make it so The antivaccinationists think it all comes so easily. They believe it takes 20 hours total to be an expert, and so they loudly proclaim, “I LEARNED THIS ON GOOGLE, SO NOW I’M A BRILLIANT AS PAUL OFFIT.” That’s their definition of hard work. And it’s not even close. It’s not even on the same planet as close. It is a perfect example of the Dunning Kruger Effect, a cognitive bias, but I don’t want this article to be a psychological analysis of the arrogance and ignorance of those pushing pseudoscience. All that you have to understand is that they believe that becoming knowledgeable is easy. They think that sitting on their couch with their iPad will pass on great wisdom to them. But what they don’t understand, what flies over their head is that scientific knowledge is gained through blood, sweat, and tears, not luck and a proclamation that they know it all. So lacking any real knowledge, they have to tack in another direction. They invent lies instead of scientific knowledge. They cherry pick one article instead of reading 500 articles to get the true consensus in a field of science. They claim that their 2 course in biology is sufficient, when some of us took over 75 courses in biomedical sciences over 8 years. In each of these cases, to do it right was the extremely hard way to go. It’s almost a false dichotomy–in science, your choice is take the easy route or the extremely difficult, challenging, and self sacrifice route. The former probably means you have little to offer. The latter means you strove for evidence. I worked very very hard to get where I am. I gave up a lot. I sacrificed nearly everything for my knowledge of bio-medicine. And I know many many many others in science have done the same thing, if not a hell of lot more. They gave up nearly everything to help better mankind, including finding the best vaccines to keep our children healthy. I’ve stated this before, and it bears repeating: if the science deniers, like your typical antivaccinationist, wants to reinvent immunology by broadly proclaiming that vaccines “weaken the immune system,” then get your lazy ass in college, get a graduate degree from a challenging university, go work in a laboratory, gather evidence that supports your ideas about the immune system, publish it, stand up to criticism from the scientific world, because it’s going to come. Then wait for your Nobel Prize. But I’m not going to take serious the vomit and detritus that spouts out of antivaccination mouths because they were too lazy to do what I did. Or what Paul Offit does. Or what Dorit Reiss does. Cause you have really have no standing in this, despite your arrogance that your “research” on the internet is somehow equivalent to real scientific research. It’s easy to be lazy and make up bullshit. It’s really difficult to actually work hard and learn what most of us know. And don’t try to compare the two. There is no comparison.

The running game is comparable to the defensive side of the ball, sharing concepts and philosophies. So that's why defensive-minded coaches like John Harbaugh, Rex Ryan, Lovie Smith, Wade Phillips, Jeff Fisher, etc. fully grasp, and thus trust, the running game, but are largely clueless about the passing game. This also is the reason why all those coaches ultimately fail as HCs, the only ones that suceed are the ones that either evolve into complete coaches like Belichick or bring in competent OCs and let them run that side of the ball.
As Jsmoove pointed out, we're running the offensive system that Greg Roman designed for Kaepernick in SF and Tyrod in Buffalo, which is a one read and go option scheme. But since Joe can't run, not even as well as he used to before the knee, they've modified it to a one read and checkdown scheme that includes a few of Marty's WCO plays, like those screens, but really isn't a WCO.
So, the criticism that Joe can't execute a WCO, despite doing so under Kubiak, because he's failing to do so this year is invalid and disingenuous because they're not even running a WCO. If the critics want to be fair, then they should say that Joe can't handle this one read and checkdown system, though that then raises the question: Who could? As you pointed out, the system has severe flaws built right into it, like the fact that we don't have the personnel for it. And even if we did, it still isn't a good system because it's very easy for any defense to prepare for--drop at least 7 into coverage, double Maclin and Wallace, and put a spy on the TE/RB checkdown. Boom. Done. | positive |
NEW DELHI: The Sino-Indian ties have taken a hit with China blocking India's entry into NSG and also preventing UN from sanctioning Pakistan based Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) chief Masood Azhar but India seems to have finally decided it's payback time.India proposed to Singapore last month that the 2 countries make a specific mention in a joint statement of the international tribunal order in July this year dismissing China's "historical" rights as claimed by Beijing over almost all of South China Sea waters, top sources said.While India's proposal, which was made in the run up to the visit by Singapore PM Lee Hsien Loong, was eventually shot down by Singapore, it indicates a resolve to articulate forcefully China's non-compliance with international law even as Beijing throws cold water on India's NSG bid citing New Delhi 's refusal to sign NPT.Singapore is not a claimant state in South China Sea and has avoided taking sides in territorial disputes which involve, apart from China, Vietnam , Malaysia, the Philippines and Brunei. That is why Singapore struck down India's proposal as it did not want to go into the specifics by mentioning the Tribunal ruling.India is now discussing including an acknowledgement of the Tribunal ruling, which China dismissed as naturally null and void, in a joint statement with Japan which will be issued after the meeting next week between PM Narendra Modi and his counterpart Shinzo Abe India seems to want the joint statement with Vietnam, issued after Modi's visit to Hanoi in September, to serve as a template for similar documents with countries in the region. The document with Vietnam was unique because apart from the usual references to freedom of navigation and over flight, and respect for international law, it also noted "the Award issued on 12 July 2016 of the Arbitral Tribunal constituted under the Annex VII to the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Laws of Sea (UNCLOS)".While Singapore chose not to jointly acknowledge the Award, Japan will be an entirely different kettle of fish in how it reacts to such a proposal. In a first, Japan officially told TOI recently (as reported on October 24) that it was encouraging India to speak its mind on South China Sea disputes. Japan is growing increasingly wary of China's assertiveness in East China Sea where Beijing is challenging Japan's sovereignty over Senkaku (China calls these Diaoyu) islands.Along with the final agreement for civil nuclear cooperation, and a probable announcement on purchase of ShinMaywa US-2i military aircraft by India, how the 2 countries choose to address the disputes in South China Sea, where China continues to build artificial islands, will be among the highlights of the upcoming Modi-Abe meeting.India and Japan had for the first time name-checked South China Sea in their joint statement issued after the sumit meeting last year but an open acknowledgement of the Tribunal ruling on this occasion is certain to draw a strong, even hostile response, from Beijing. After TOI first reported on September 11 this year that Japan was willing to reduce the price of US-2i aircraft to revive the negotiations for its purchase by India, China responded by saying that such a move would be "disgraceful" if it was aimed at applying pressure on China over issues related to South China Sea.India's most important strategic partner in Asia, Japan, along with Vietnam, forms the core of India's Act East Policy which is not restricted, unlike in its previous Look East avatar, to economic engagement with Asean nations.India is looking to shore up its defence and security ties with several Asean nations, some of whom are victims of Chinese maritime aggression in South China Sea, and it helps that Tokyo is trying to do the same, most notably with Vietnam. | positive |
We love bashing our own city. We'll instantaneously bite the head off any non-Miamians who dares talk down about our town, but sometimes it seems we take a bit too much pleasure in reserving that shit talking for ourselves. There's plenty of reason to, but sometimes we need to be reminded of why we're all pretty lucky to live here. So in the spirit of our New York compatriots who recently put together their own list, we present to you 50 reasons why we love living in Miami. No, it is not just a listing of the average temperatures in January and February. There's a hell of a lot more to love about this place.
50. Unlike other cities there's none of the snobby attitude over who is "a real Miamian." No one's actually from here, and if you've been here long enough to get at least half of this list we'll consider you one of our own.
49. That the fact everyone else now hates the Miami Heat only makes us love them more. In fact, we wouldn't have it any other way.

48. Not only is topless sunbathing legal, but it's really no big deal.
47. Most of the racist white folk moved away years ago.
46. The guy who dances to oldies coming out of his beat up boombox in his platform shoes on Lincoln Road is the hardest working man in show business; we don't care what anyone says.
45. Art Basel Miami Beach and everything connected to it is the world's most highbrow 24/7 weeklong party.
44. Winter Music Conference and everything connected to it is the world's most down-n-dirty 24/7 weeklong party.
43. Our Catholic priests are too busy knocking up strippers or fondling their girlfriends on the beach to diddle little boys.
42. We're the city that sleeps past noon.
41. Miami is cuter than an inter-uterine. (Did Bea Arthur and Betty White ever duet on a song about another city? No. No they did not.)
40. Our hipsters are mostly tolerable. The few douchey ones are just saving up to move to Williamsburg anyway.
39. Dressing for the cold means wearing a hoody with your flip flops.
38. At this point our Cuban food is more authentic than the Cuban food in Cuba.
37. Everyone thinks we're all dumb, but we've yet to meet a single person in this town who couldn't teach us at least one invaluable and ingenious lesson.
36. Not only has our local art scene emerged as one of the best in the country, but it's also probably the least stuffy and most fun art scene in the world. Ain't no party like a Second Saturday party.br />
35. If your career ever takes you anywhere else, whether you realize it at first or not, it's just so you can hurry up and move back to Miami to retire in style sooner.
34. Lime Fresh Mexican Grill, Pizza Rustica and Pollo Tropical beat Chipotle, Dominos, KFC or pretty much any other fast food or fast casual restaurant hands down.
33. Our clubs and bars are open later than pretty much anywhere else, and even if you don't stay out til 5 a.m., it's nice to know you won't be hassled home until you're good and ready.
32. Even if you're an hour late to something, you're not really late. It's Miami time.

30. Watching local high school football games is a sneak peek into the future of the NFL.

28. Everyone dances when "Lookout Weekend" and "Face Down Ass Up" come on. Everyone groans when "Welcome to Miami" or "I'm in Miami Bitch" come on. Our real anthems don't need the name of our city in them.
27. Sweat Records and Churchill's are next door to each other.
26. This city's outpouring of support following the earthquake in Haiti was pretty inspiring. We may be aloof, but we have a hell of a heart when it matters.
25. Sure, there's always going to be someone else in the club sexier than you, but there's also going to be more than a few hot messes grinding away who instantly raise your self esteem. And God bless those hot messes, they're probably having the time of their life.
24. There's a strong entrepreneurial streak here (even if it tends to sometimes manifest itself in illegal ways).
23. There's nothing quite like a Trick Daddy jam featuring Trina. There's also nothing quite like feeling we live half our lives in a video for a Trick Daddy or Trina track.
22. As long as it's legal and consensual we won't judge you for what you like to do in the bedroom. Come to think of it, we won't even judge you if you do it outside the bedroom. We will, however, judge you if you're not doing anything.
21. Gloria Estefan is a kind and benevolent queen.
20. The only reason we haven't seceded from the rest of Florida yet is we don't want to lose our instate discount at Disney World, otherwise we hate the rest of this state about as much as they hate us: so very much.
19. We may be paying the price for that skyline in downtown for a while, but look at it: It's beautiful.
18. For those of us who don't already speak it, our entire life is like a Spanish lesson. Except unlike in high school, we're sure to be taught the dirty words right away.
17. There's beautiful people here of every imaginable ethnicity, and when they get together their kids are even more beautiful.
16.The Gangster Rap-inspired video for folkster Rachel Goodrich's song "Lightbulb" makes all the sense in the world and wouldn't if it came out of anywhere else.
15. We were too busy tracking down the Latin Burger truck on Twitter to notice that we now have a Shake Shack.
14. Guayaberas are considered formal wear.
13. We can't chose which architectural style we like better: MiMo or Art Deco. Oh, that's right, we don't have to.
12. Our Real Housewives franchise has a drag queen.
11. We have all the benefits of living in the south without having to actually live in "The South."
10. In other cities billionaires appoint themselves mayors for life. Our billionaires just put up the funds to kick our mayors out of office.
9. Even when the Hurricanes suck by Hurricanes standards they're still a pretty amazing team by most college football's standards.
8. Jungle Island is home to the two biggest Ligers in the world.
7. This is disgusting, but also a little beautiful: you are probably never more than 10 feet from a spot where someone once had some sort of sex. Alley way? Someone had sex there. Bathroom? They don't call it going to the head for nothing. Restaurant? Someone got an under the table HJ for sure. Highway? The Bang Bus just rolled through.
6. We're the only city sandwiched in between two National Parks.
5. Sure we have to deal with bottle service, but if you master the art of the open bar and the drink ticket you'll never pay for booze again.
4. Scarface still comes across as more authentic than all the reality shows shot here combined.
3. The hotels are so great that when our out-of-town friends and family come to visit, they sure as hell don't want to stay at our place.
2. This whole "no state income tax" thing is pretty sweet.
1. The old joke is that "the best thing about Miami is how close it is to the United States." Truth is there are few places where the American Dream shines more brightly. People literally risk everything they have, including their lives, to escape oppressive governments and other treacherous plights to come here and make a better life for themselves and their families. Not only that, but most of them succeed. If that doesn't make you glad to live in Miami, we don't know what will.
This is just fifty. We're sure there's plenty of other reasons to live living here, and we'd love to hear them in the comments. Actually, that's another reasons we love living in Miami: No one is afraid of speaking their mind. | positive |

Part of the monumental Westfield World Trade Center, the FiDi location is the Swedish retailer’s first brick and mortar store to pursue LEED certification. The flagship uses recycled materials and features Energy Star equipment and LED lighting. In addition, the store is powered by renewable sources and as such, uses less energy than a conventional office building. Beyond LEED design and specification, the main challenge of the project was navigating and adhering to the constraints of the site and various stakeholder restrictions. Specifically, the project underwent various design revisions and changes to accommodate and reconcile fluctuating Landlord and Port Authority criteria. KPA was retained as Executive Architect on this project and has partnered with H&M on approximately 35 locations to date, including several flagships such as the Herald Square and the future Hudson Yards and Empire Outlet locations.

#261 Japan Vintage 18
If you're looking for monster denim with a truly unique character, look no further. This is a highly limited run of a collector fabric. Note: We recommend selecting a size 3 sizes up compared to your standard Gustin size owing to the denseness of the weave and the shrink-to-fit nature of this fabric. This cut also uses our standard inseam lengths.
Gustin jeans made from unsanforized raw selvedge denim from one of the finest mills in Japan. Sometimes we come across a fabric that has such a powerful presence that it stops us in our tracks. That's really the only way to describe this rare denim. Yarn, weave, color, texture, everything is dialed up to the max. This is heavy 18 ounce fabric and you can see the monster size of the indigo yarns used to weave it. The weave itself is very open which allows the bright khaki-yellow weft to show through. The open weave also gives this fabric great surface texture as does the slubiness in the weft yarn. This fabric starts to approach the great texture of our loomstate styles. A pale pink ID finishes it off. If you're looking for a denim like no other then jump on this one quickly.
Choose either our classic Straight fit or our Slim fit. More details available on our fit guide. | positive |

The 19th amendment granted women the right to vote, the specific language is as follows: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.” “U.S. Constitution – Nineteenth Amendment – Congress.” Constitution Annotated, https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-19/. What is The Equal Rights Amendment? The ERA’s official website, equalrightsamendment.org, establishes that “Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” “The Equal Rights Amendment is a proposed amendment to the United States Constitution designed to guarantee equal legal rights for all American citizens regardless of sex. It seeks to end the legal distinctions between men and women in terms of divorce, property, employment, and other matters.” Equal Rights Amendment, https://www.equalrightsamendment.org/ This Amendment was introduced in 1923 by Alice Paul, three years after the Nineteenth Amendment was Ratified. Alice Paul and many other women who fought for the right to vote believed that the Equal Rights Amendment was a necessary addition and worked for the rest of their lives to see it ratified. The Alice Paul Institute: “The Equal Rights Amendment: Unfinished Business for the Constitution” is a 17-minute educational video that traces the changing status of women’s rights in the United States from the writing of the Constitution to the 72-year struggle for woman suffrage to the ongoing campaign for the ERA. This is a 5-minute excerpt. HOW IS IT DIFFERENT? The right to vote is the first, and only, right that the U.S. Constitution specifically declares equality for both men and women. This means that all other aspects of the Constitution are up for interpretation when it comes to gender equality. This leaves women’s constitutional rights subject to the political pendulum, swinging between waves of political progress and regression. Alice Paul saw this threat to women’s rights and argued that, “We shall not be safe until the principle of equal rights is written into the framework of our government.” -Alice Paul “Why We Need the Equal Rights Amendment.” Equal Rights Amendment, https://www.equalrightsamendment.org/why The ERA’s Why webpage argues that, “The Equal Rights Amendment is needed to constitutionally affirm that the bedrock principles of our democracy — “all men are created equal,” “liberty and justice for all,” “equal justice under law,” “government of the people, by the people, and for the people” — apply equally to women and men in the United States of America.” “Why We Need the Equal Rights Amendment.” Equal Rights Amendment, https://www.equalrightsamendment.org/why. These clarifications are different from the Nineteenth Amendment, which gives women the right to vote rather than equal protection from discrimination. In addition, the proposed role of the Equal Rights Amendment is not satisfied by the 14th Amendment’s Equal Protection Clause because the Equal protection cause was, “first applied to sex discrimination only in 1971, and it has never been interpreted to grant equal rights on the basis of sex in the uniform and inclusive way that the ERA would.” “Why We Need the Equal Rights Amendment.” Equal Rights Amendment, https://www.equalrightsamendment.org/why The ERA’s official website argues that the ERA would also “serve to provide a clearer judicial standard for deciding cases of sex discrimination” as well keep many American women and men from having to wage long legal battles in efforts to prove that their specific rights are equal in their given situation, regardless of their sex. The Battle to ratify the ERA: Although Alice Paul introduced the Equal Rights Amendment in 1923, the ERA was not passed by congress until 1972. The legislation passed in 1972, but it was given a seven-year deadline for ratification by the individual states. When the original deadline wasn’t met, advocates for the ERA managed to convince Congress to extend the deadline to 1982. Unfortunately, ant-ERA activists and groups successfully mobilized against the ERA and managed to keep the ERA from meeting its second deadline as well. This was a huge setback as the ERA only needed three more states to satisfy the thirty-eight states needed for ratification. Alice Paul from the Alice Paul Institute https://www.alicepaul.org/about-alice-paul/ Controversy over the ERA’s Ratification: Since this time, the Equal Rights Amendment has been able to meet the requirement of thirty-eight states and many argue that it should now be ratified, regardless of the time limit. Recently, in 2017, Nevada became the first state to pass the Equal Rights Amendment in 45 years, followed by Illinois passing the ERA in 2018 and Virginia passing the ERA in 2020. The next step in the ratification would be for Congress to eliminate the original deadline and a joint resolution introduced in Congress has the power to do this. This resolution will eliminate one of the current procedural barriers preventing the ERA from being seen as legitimate and it is as follows: “Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That notwithstanding any time limit contained in House Joint Resolution 208, 92nd Congress, as agreed to in the Senate on March 22, 1972, the article of amendment proposed to the States in that joint resolution shall be valid to all intents and purposes as part of the Constitution whenever ratified by the legislatures of three-fourths of the several States.” “Era Explainer.” Equality Now, 31 Oct. 2021, https://www.equalitynow.org/era_explainer/ Many argue that the ERA can never be fully recognized because it did not meet or extend its second deadline. Also, because of the backlash it faced and its negative historical connotations, some who may ideologically align with the ERA look to propose a new amendment or find an entirely new route to ensure constitutional gender equality. It does appear that the Equal Rights Amendment may finally be actualized under the Biden Administration given the Department of Justice’s Office of Legal Counsel’s opinion issued on January 26th, as well as Representatives Carolyn Maloney and Jackie Speier’s press conference responses that the ERA has already been ratified as should be recognized. Personally, I agree that the Equal Right Amendment has met all of its requirements and should now be fully recognized by congress. I hope that in the coming years, the Equal Rights Amendment will serve as a protection for all US Citizens on the basis of gender and allow gender politics to become as progressive and protective as that of our current culture and future generations. If you’d like to help the Equal Rights Amendment finally come into effect please consider reaching out to your representatives or spreading awareness about the ERA on social media.

With Atlanta serving up some of the hottest product in the rap game, native son Young Jeezy stands as one of the most exciting merchants of cool to emerge in years. Thanks to underground testimonials like "Air Forces" and "Chuuch," Jeezy's street swagger and authentic style has quickly made believers out of some the biggest players in the game, from Fabolous to P. Diddy. In his native Atlanta, and throughout the south, Young Jeezy has created nothing short of a movement. Now the world will get to find out what insiders have been buzzing about when his Def Jam debut, Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 drops this summer. Like many hustlers on the mic, rapping wasn't in Jeezy's original game plan. As CEO of Corporate Thug Entertainment, Jeezy was content to stack his paper from the background. "Before music I was just trying to survive out this motherfucker. I had other artists, some local cats off the street, but it didn't work out," explains the twenty-five year old Georgia native. "So I just decided to do it myself. Ain't nobody gonna go as hard as you gonna go. I saw the bigger picture at the time. I have a way with words and I know how to hustle." Having lost many things in his life-- family, friends and time (a prison bid that he doesn't like to give too much light)--Jeezy had a sense of urgency about his music. So he hit the mixtape circuit with exclusive tracks recorded with longtime collaborator Shawty Red. With over 100,000 mixtapes and over 200,000 Trap Or Die DVD's sold in a little more than a year, Def Jam decided to invest in the youngster and made him the most recent signee to the label. "Basically, I'm a real nigga so I can relate more to a lot of cats," Jeezy says of his appeal. " I don't just do music for the clubs, I do music for the struggle. I do music for everyday niggas, the kids who ain't got no sense of direction. I'm trying to restore some of the morals back into the game, as far as the street." What sets Young Jeezy's music apart is his ability to bring color and flash to a story that has been told so many times before. He's a true digital age artist who doesn't need 16 bars to develop a picture in your head. When he snaps off a verse the image is simple enough for everyone to feel it instantly. "In one night ten bitches, eight bottles of Cris/forty grand just to make you stare at my wrist" he rattles off on his hit "Air Forces." Jeezy's undeniable swagger has made everyone from UGK's Bun B to Sean "P. Diddy" Combs stand up and take notice. But it's the folks grinding from day-to-day that will get the most out of Jeezy's street scriptures. "I'm just real to myself. Just believing in what I can do. If you have goals it gives a nigga something to be motivated about," he says. "We stood on the same concrete at one time. With the same mindframe. My stuff is to motivate them. Letting you know where I'm from and what I've seen so you can get something out of it." The streets responded by snatching up his mixtapes by the trunkload. But now that he has fans on the hook, Jeezy is ready to reel them in slow with this full length. "I did the mixtape run, but on mixtapes you can't really give people you," he reasons. " I think people will really relate to the album. I ain't come into this for no broads or a wristwatch or a car. I came into this shit for a spot. I'mma reality kicker. I'm not gonna tell you what you wanna hear because it sounds good, I'mma give it to you raw." Songs like the revealing "Let Me Talk To 'Em" show Jeezy apologizing for many of the wrongs in his life and attempting to set the next generation straight about the dark side of life in the traps. "A lot of the cats I looked up to that bought me school clothes and things I lost them," he says. "That's why I'm here now." Setting the backdrop for his reality are producers Mannie Fresh - who's "Boom Boom Clap" powers Let's Get It's searing first single "And The What" - Jazze Pha and Shawty Red to name a few. The guest line up is a who's who of southern rap, but there will be plenty of Young Jeezy to bump from the coups to the corners. "My whole thing is I want to restore some more morals back to this street shit," he concludes. "Niggas listen to niggas who rap. I just wanna feed the streets."

By CNN's Chief Washington Correspondent Jake Tapper
The Republican-controlled House of Representatives on Thursday voted 217-210 to push $40 billion in cuts over 10 years to the federal food stamps program.
Republicans argue the price of the program, which cost $78 billion last year, has ballooned, and that cutting food stamps will encourage poor Americans to become more self-sufficient.
On Thursday, Democratic Rep. Jackie Speier of California lambasted those Republican colleagues who want to cut food aid for the poor, while they themselves rack up pricey meals during travel to foreign countries.
"One member was given $127.41 a day for food on his trip to Argentina. He probably had a fair amount of steak. Another member was given $3,588 for food and lodging during a six-day trip to Russia. He probably drank a fair amount of vodka and probably even had some caviar. That particular member has 21,000 food stamp recipients in his district. One of those people on food stamps could live a year on what this congressman spent on food and lodging for six days," Speier said on the House floor.
Decorum prevented Speier from naming names, but CNN's The Lead is restrained by no such protocol. CNN researched the public records and discovered that the gourmands in question are Republicans Steve King of Iowa and Frank Lucas of Oklahoma.
Lucas received $127.41 per day for a November trip to Buenos Aires, according to disclosure forms filed with the Clerk of the House.
According to the Des Moines Register, King received $3,588 on lodging and meals during a trip to Russia earlier this year.
King had no comment, and as of now, CNN has not heard from Lucas.
The Lucas trip was paid for with private funds but it was unclear who paid for the meals – private or public funds – since the congressman claimed that the events were arranged or organized specifically with regard to congressional participation. | positive |

Tech tycoon Peter Thiel may soon be working in the Trump administration as a top intelligence adviser, according to a Vanity Fair report published Wednesday.
While Thiel, an early supporter of the president, has been informally working with President Donald Trump for some time, reports relayed to Vanity Fair seem to show that he could be given a more formal role, like chair of the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB). The official government website for the agency has no details to offer, but the board has been around for quite some time. The PIAB traditionally provides advice to the president pertaining to intelligence activities, while also monitoring work from the larger community.
“I cannot overstate his impact on the transition,” former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon told Vanity Fair, describing Thiel as a sort of secret weapon. “You will see in the near term that Peter will be taking on new responsibilities, like intelligence.”
Vanity Fair also cites other senior officials that spoke as if Thiel is surely going to get the new job.
An early investor in Facebook and cofounder of PayPal, Thiel is an influential venture capitalist with an outspoken point of view that often conflicts with his political counterparts in Silicon Valley. As most in the tech realm are liberal, Thiel has created his own path as one of the few advocates of President Donald Trump in the industry.

After originally giving $2 million to a super-PAC supporting then-contender Carly Fiorina’s candidacy in August 2015, he soon switched his allegiance and announced in October 2016 that he planned on donating $1.25 million to Trump, then-Republican presidential nominee.
Just several weeks later, Thiel spoke at a press conference in Washington, D.C., to double down on his endorsement of Trump and defend his donation. He also spoke at the Republican National Convention in support of the party and Trump, becoming the first openly gay person to do so.
“I am proud to be gay, I am proud to be a Republican but most of all I am proud to be an American,” Thiel said in a speech. The crowd erupted in applause, potentially showing a growing shift in the party’s views on sexuality.
Defying convention is typical for Thiel, and if he’s eventually appointed, he would in some way be continuing that trend as an atypical choice for an intelligence role. Overall, Thiel’s potential ascension to such a critical role could give the libertarian-minded entrepreneur a large stake in the government’s operations.

SAN FRANCISCO (KPIX 5) — Uber and Lyft drivers unhappy with their earnings and hours behind the wheel have protested recently, but now there’s a new problem – drivers are having trouble affording the expensive car leases offered by the ride-hailing companies.
“They just called me and said your car is ready come get it,” said a Lyft driver who gave his name as Kelsey. He said it was all too easy to get started with a brand new Prius from a San Francisco startup called Breeze.
Breeze offers leases on fuel efficient cars for the on-demand economy, all kinds of credit scores accepted. It’s expensive; almost $800 a month. But for Kelsey, who was among the first to sign up and got a discount, “It seemed to work. I was making decent money,” he said.
Then Lyft started to slash fares. “We have had five rate cuts since I started driving,” he said. “Right now it’s just not economically viable any more.”
Another driver who identified herself as Angelica said she is also struggling. She got her car through Uber. “I actually, prior to this, had not had a car for about four years,” said Angelica. “So I was, like, ‘Oh wow, that sounds actually pretty cool.’”
She said Uber sent her to a Toyota dealership in San Francisco where she signed a lease with a company called BAMA. “It was kind of like a cattle call almost,” said Angelica. Her lease seems a bargain compared to Breeze: just under $650 a month for a larger model Prius. But once you add in extra insurance for commercial use of the car, “I am paying at least $1,000 a month,” she said.
“As a consumer protection attorney, this absolutely concerns me,” said Claire Johnson Raba with Bay Area Legal Aid, which provides legal assistance to low-income clients. She said she’s seeing a growing number of rideshare drivers coming in for help because because of problems with auto loans and leases offered to them by the companies. “This is one more debt, one more bill that they cannot pay, and this is a bill with some very serious consequences if it’s not paid,” said Johnson Raba.
She reviewed the drivers’ contracts and said the biggest problem is that they are commercial leases that are not covered by consumer protection laws. “A commercial lease assumes that the two parties that entered into the contract are sophisticated parties, that they are businesses,” said Johnson Raba. “That’s not what’s going on here.”
Another problem with both companies’ leases is the mileage limit: 2,500 miles a month. For the average consumer, that’s probably fine. But if someone’s driving for a living, they are going to be driving a lot and could get hit with extra mileage fees.
Kelsey decided enough was enough. “It looks like as long as the car is in decent condition and you fix the things they ask for then you can turn the car in,” he said.
Angelica was not so lucky. Her car needs repairs that she will be charged for if she tries to turn it in. She doesn’t have the money, and without the car she’ll be out of work. Her advice to anyone thinking of signing up for a lease: stick to your minimum-wage job. “Some things really are too good to be true,” she said.
Both Breeze and BAMA turned down our request for interviews. Lyft says it now has a new partnership with GM, which was announced early January. GM will become a preferred provider of short-term use vehicles to Lyft drivers through rental hubs in cities across the U.S.
Uber confirmed it still has a partnership with BAMA, but is now offering drivers a new lease called Uber Xchange with more options. In a statement, Andrew Chapin, Head of Vehicle Solutions said: “We often hear from drivers that they want to join Uber, but don’t have access to a car or traditional vehicle financing. That’s why we’ve developed a number of new leasing options and vehicle discount programs. With the Xchange Leasing option, drivers choose from a variety of cars and and prices and have the flexibility to return their vehicle easily if they change their mind. Our goal is to give drivers options they never had before, and drivers choose what works best for them.” | positive |

BONN, Germany (June 05, 2014) - Programs and policies to reduce tropical deforestation, and the global warming emissions resulting from deforestation, are seeing broad success in 17 countries across four continents, according to a new report from the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS).
The report, "Deforestation Success Stories: Tropical Nations Where Forest Protection and Reforestation Policies Have Worked," highlights successes in reducing deforestation and restoring forests while supporting economic development in 17 cases across Africa, Latin America and South and Southeast Asia. While some countries highlighted in the report, including Brazil, are known for their forest efforts, other countries, including Mexico, El Salvador and the six countries of Central Africa, emerge as surprising innovators.
In the 1990s, deforestation consumed 16 million hectares of forest a year and accounted for about 17 percent of all climate emissions. By the early 2000s, deforestation was down 19 percent to 13 million hectares. Currently, deforestation is responsible for about 10 percent of climate emissions globally.
"Successfully reducing deforestation is essential as forests are home to a wide range of plants and animals, and vital to the livelihoods of indigenous communities. When forests are cleared -for palm oil plantations, agriculture or livestock - we lose vital resources, put animals at risk of extinction, and release massive quantities of carbon dioxide stored in the trees and soils," said report author Doug Boucher, director of UCS's Tropical Forest and Climate Initiative. "What's surprising about today's report is the number of countries that are effectively protecting their tropical forests and the wide variety of policies and programs that are working. There's no one right way to stop deforestation, but rather a smorgasbord of options."
The successful reductions result from a variety of policy options, including policies and programs directly targeted at deforestation, policies not implemented as planned but that still worked, policy reforms that relieved pressure on forests and changes in larger socioeconomic context.
Brazil is home to the world's largest tropical forest, the Amazon. As early as 2002, the Brazilian government reduced deforestation by establishing forest protected areas, and later companies agreed to moratoriums on buying soy or beef raised on deforested land.
While these deforestation programs and policies proved effective, Brazil took additional action through the Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Degradation plus pro-forest activities (REDD+) program in cooperation with Norway. REDD+ offers financial incentives, provided by developed countries, to developing countries for reducing deforestation. Today, 80 percent of original Amazonian forest is still standing due to forest protections, moratoriums and the REDD+ program.
"Brazil is most notably lauded for their deforestation reductions, but the report found numerous example of successfully saving forests in unexpected locations," said Boucher. "And some of these surprising successes, like in Mexico and Central Africa, result from national programs and other economic policies that did not work as initially designed."
Mexico has been working to protect their forests from deforestation since the 1990s, but additional success came from the Payment for Environmental Services program, which aimed to transition payments for environmental services, such as clean water and carbon mitigation, into services paid for by markets. While economists recommended that the limited budget for this program be allocated among to the most efficient service providers, the money ultimately went to rural communities, which are historically prioritized in Mexico.
The program did not work as planned, but still prevented deforestation because participants invested in protecting forests even when not required to do so. Ninety-four percent of the program participants voluntarily spent significant portions of their allotments on forest management, proving that the program was successful overall.
Yet other countries still, like Guyana and Central Africa exemplify how economic development socioeconomic changes are relieving pressure on forests. Guyana's case is unusual in that its deforestation rate is nearly zero and forest policies are focused on preventing deforestation entirely. Like Brazil, Guyana formed a partnership with Norway through the REDD+ program. But Guyana's program focuses on promoting economic growth while still keeping deforestation low.
In Central Africa, forest management plans were adopted in the 1990s, and over time, these plans have grown to cover a large portion of the region's forests. In addition to these policies, the development of oil and mineral resources led to rapid urbanization, which drew people from the rural areas to pursue jobs in larger cities. Increasing imports of agricultural products minimized the competition for rural lands as well as the need for expansion into forest lands.
In addition to the economic development in Guyana and Central Africa, other countries were able to protect forests while supporting economic development, especially in regards to commodities' expansion. The report found several examples of simultaneous economic growth and emissions reductions.
"Countries can have their cake and eat it too," said Boucher. "The report shows that economic development is not hindered by reductions in deforestation. For example, the soy and beef industry in Brazil thrived despite moratoria preventing deforestation, Vietnam expanded agricultural production and forest area simultaneously, and Costa Rica's well protected forests attract millions of ecotourists each year."
The report recommends expanding the implementation of REDD+, particularly in less developed nations. Policymakers should also increase funding for payments for ecosystem services and practice strong enforcement. Further, forest management policies should combine environmental policy with socioeconomic development as well as establish moratoriums to increase effectiveness.
"Ultimately, the report show that every euro, dollar, peso, rupee, dong, and African franc invested in these programs and policy is money well spent," said Boucher. "The rewards far outweigh the costs."
The report is available in English, Spanish, French and Portuguese.

I can’t just stand by and watch the humanitarian horror that’s going on just across the border. Can you?
My mom and dad taught me as a young child to try to be a good person. They taught me what a mensch is: to help an older person cross a street, give food to the hungry, return found money, invite lonely people home for a meal, visit the sick and sometimes just spend time with a lonely soul. I experienced the tremendous reward inherent in the act of giving, even the giving of the smallest things, but things that might mean the world to another. The Talmud teaches us that a person who saves a single life, saves an entire world. I never really had an opportunity to save a life.
Well, maybe I do now. And so do you.
Here’s a story that makes the Syrian refugee crisis even more personal to me. When my father’s family applied for a visa to emigrate from Czechoslovakia to the USA in October 1938, they never dreamed that three years later, in January 1942, the final answer of the US visa department would be a resounding denial. But it was! It took the US authorities three years to say no. The written response stated that “the issuance of a visa is not warranted at this time.”
By that time in 1942, the systematic wholesale murder of Jews under Nazi rule was no secret. If it wasn’t warranted then, when would it ever be? What an disgraceful chapter in US history. What a painful chapter in the history of my family. More than 30 of my father’s family died in the gas chambers, including all four of his grandparents, including all of his aunts and uncles living in Europe at the time, including his toddler and children cousins.
The story of my family is typical of the six million European Jews who were murdered while the world stood by and refused to take them in. The St. Louis German passenger ship was one example. The ship carried 937 German Jews, who had each legally purchased a visa to Cuba for a small fortune, only to be denied entry into Cuba in 1939. The ship then attempted landing in several places in the US and Canada, but the gates of freedom were shut in its face. Eventually the St. Louis had to return to Europe where many of its passengers perished in Nazi gas chambers.
The denial of help at this time of horror was actually institutionalized in July 1938, as 32 nations gathered in France for the “Evian Conference” to seek help for the persecuted Jews. The U.S. initiated this conference but the result was a list of pathetic excuses why each country couldn’t help the Jews. The US for example offered a “German Quota” of 29,000 immigrants per year but set a prerequisite of a “good behavior” certificate from the German Police.
How outrageous and, at best, ignorant to expect a German Jew to secure any document, let alone a “good behavior” certificate from the German police at that time. Indeed, the German Quota provided no relief for German Jews. Canada would accept only people with experience in agriculture. But it was well-known that Jews in Europe were anything but farmers. Anti-Semitic laws prohibited them from owning land for centuries. And Australia stated “we have no racial problem and are not desirous to import one.” Amazing that in 1938, the acceptance of Jewish refugees by a democratic nation would be equivalent of importing a “racial problem”. In short, there was no help forthcoming for Jews.
How then can we stand by today, 70 years after we emerged from the fires of hell, and just watch refugees escape for their life and disregard them with the same degree of cruelty that my family and my people were treated within memory?
It would be an extraordinary act of compassion for the Jewish State to undertake measures to save the lives of refugees from Syria. We have a history of deep mutual hatred. But that’s what makes this such a magical opportunity to show solidarity, to show our humanity and provide these unfortunate people with a new lease on life. How wonderful it could be to substitute kindness for hatred. It would be an incredible statement of humanity, a gesture of solidarity with the European countries now dealing with the refugee issue, an example to the Arab countries in the Middle East, so many of which refused to take in any refugees at all.
It would be a shame if the Government of Israel bypassed this unique opportunity for close cooperation between the Jewish State and the Diaspora for a cause that would evoke admiration and gratitude in our brethren throughout the world and would stir the respect of the whole civilized world. There is little doubt that Jews across the globe would proudly role up their sleeves to help pitch in for such a generous humanitarian effort in any manner possible.
This instance is especially remarkable, since Israel would join close to thirty countries who are prepared to take in Syrian refugees, and because we are talking about Arabs whom, as the world knows, so many Israelis fear.
Aiding Syrian refugees is the right thing to do, not only because of vivid memories of recent Jewish suffering and not only for the sake of forging another link between Israel and the Diaspora, but also because, as a human being, and especially as a Jew, I expect my country, the State of Israel, to express in action the Jewish values of which I am so proud.
In fact, Israel has always been the first to send aid to stricken regions of the world. We sent emergency relief to earthquake victims in Turkey, Haiti and Nepal, to tsunami victims in Thailand and Sri Lanka, to famine-stricken Africa. As far back as 1977 where we took in 300 Vietnamese boat refugees, who integrated beautifully into Israeli society. Israel never stopped to ask whether we had good or any relations at all with these nations. It didn’t matter when it came to saving lives of innocent people. I was always so proud to be an Israeli at those times. Israel has even been providing emergency medical treatment and hospital care to hundreds of wounded Syrians who reached its northern fence. And Israel has been doing this with no fanfare, only because this is who we are. This is what a Jew does when someone needs help.
To help the Government of Israel to reach a favorable decision in the matter, the mayor of the Beduin city of Rahat and SodaStream have jointly decided to offer housing and employment to 200 families representing 1,000 individuals.
I fully recognize the many reasons why the absorption of Syrian refugees, even of only 200 carefully screened families, may seem undesirable to Israel. Our little Israel is facing enormous challenges right now. Hate-filled boycotts across the globe seek Israel’s destruction. Hamas and other terror groups continue to murder Israeli civilians and launch rockets on Israeli homes. Iran, the world’s number one state-sponsor of terror and whose leaders call for Israel’s annihilation, will soon receive billions of additional dollars to continue their aggressive actions across the Middle East and their nuclear research. Israel certainly does not need another challenge. But this is no mere challenge. This is a challenge that offers an unparalleled opportunity.
I call on Benjamin Netanyahu to embrace this opportunity. Use your podium at the United Nations to announce that we extend our hand in peace to our Arab neighbors. This will be an expression of our strength, resilience and our courage. This will unite our people in Israel and the Diaspora. This will save lives. And this will make us proud to be Jews. This is our opportunity to teach our children what it means to be a mensch. Mr. Prime Minister, we will do this together. You are not alone. | positive |

Then keep on reading and use this Python Script to build your own “Google Trends” service by using the Google Autosuggest. I really like the official google trends service for analyzing new search behaviour. There are two things that stopped me from using it for more than “just playing around”: If your focus are finding new niche keywords google trends does not show you sufficient data There is no official API for making requests to google trends, if you use modules like pytrends you have to use proxy servers to avoid getting blocked In short: This will not solve the job for detecting new niche keywords on scale. Let’s build a solution in Python that is doing the job! Fetch and Store Autosuggest results over time and look at the changes Let’s say you have 1000 Seed Keywords you send to the Autosuggest. This will give you probably around 200.000 longtail queries. Then do the same one week later and compare both datasets: Which Queries are new compared to your last run? This is probably the case you are interested in. Google thinks those queries are getting more important – this is how you can build your custom Google Trends solution! Which Queries are not visible anymore The Python Script is very straight forward and most of the code I already shared here. The new part is about saving the data from past runs and make the comparison between the suggestions over time. I avoided to use file based databases like SQLite for simplicity – so all the data storage is done using CSV Files. Just import the file in Excel and explore niche keyword trends for your business. Please follow these steps: Enter your seed keyword set that should be send to the autocomplete: keywords.csv Adjust the Script settings for your need: LANGUAGE: default “en” COUNTRY: default “us” Schedule the Script to run once a week. It is also fine to start it manually Use keyword_suggestions.csv for further analysis: first_seen: this is the date where the query appeared for the first time in the autosuggest last_seen: the date where the query was seen for the last time is_new: if first_seen == last_seen we set this to “True” – Just filter on this value to get the new trending searches in the google autosuggest Here is the Python Code: # Pemavor.com Autocomplete Trends # Author: Stefan Neefischer (stefan.neefischer@gmail.com) import concurrent.futures from datetime import date from datetime import datetime import pandas as pd import itertools import requests import string import json import time | negative |
The number of outlaw motorcycle gang (OMCG) chapters in Europe still remains on a high and growing level. OMCGs are well organised groups that usually operate transnationally.
Given the significant expansion of OMCGs and chapters in Europe over the last few years, Europol has built and improved its monitoring and analytical skills as well as the criminal intelligence capabilities, because of the risk of clashes and the impact on the general organised crime situation. Together with partners from the Member States and third parties, Europol sees the need for an international and cross-boarder approach, and closer cooperation for tackling all the challenges concerning OMCGs.
To step up to the challenges of OMCG activities, Europol brought together 45 high-level representatives from law enforcement agencies from 20 EU Member States (MS), 5 third parties and international organisations at Europol’s headquarters in The Hague. This international and annual meeting of outlaw motorcycle gang experts took place on 9 and 10 November for the 22nd time.
The aims and the objectives of the meeting were to exchange expertise and best practices for tackling the activities of OMCGs from a transnational perspective.
Zoltán Nagy, Head of Unit of the European Serious Organised Crime Centre, said that “Europol will continue supporting the efforts of the EU MS and third countries in tackling OMCGs and street gangs, recognising their wide international dimension and the impact they have in drugs and weapons trafficking, violence applied in racketeering and extortion, money laundering, etc.”
Intensive expert information exchange
In particular, conference participants had an intensive information exchange about the current situation and trends in different countries and the international overall monitoring of major biker events. Innovative investigative approaches towards the OMCGs were also discussed as well as the growth and expansion of street gangs and box clubs. The fruitful collaboration with all involved participants played a crucial role in developing strategies for this phenomenon.
Learn more about Europol’s support
Europol plays a key role in combatting the criminal activities of outlaw motorcycle gangs. To assist its partners more effectively, and to follow a multidisciplinary and horizontal approach, the project focuses on organised crime groups rather than just on the crimes committed by outlaw motorcycle gangs. The project does this by, for example: | positive |
euforic services blog: FOND: the new Romanian NGDO platform Google+ Pages home about people what we do contact us Friday, November 16, 2007 FOND: the new Romanian NGDO platform Source: Concord Flash 46, October 2007 Romania is one of the two most recent New Member States of the EU and the organisation of civil society is still a big concern there – the first NGDO platform was legalised only in March 2007. Welcome to FOND, which is composed of 34 Romanian development NGOs. It is therefore of the utmost concern to TRIALOG to strengthen the platform by supporting events, trainings and the exchange of experiences in Romania, as well as the participation of Romanian representatives in different events in other European countries and within CONCORD. Some selected examples are the Seminar on Development Cooperation in Georgia (May, Bucharest), Development Cooperation in Moldova (June, Iasi), the FOND Board meeting on Strategic Planning and Membership Criteria (July, Bucharest) and European Funding and Partnership Opportunities for Romanian NGOs (July, Bucharest). TRIALOG has also financially supported the new coordinator of the Romanian platform since April 2007. After having participated in the CONCORD/Euforic web seminar, the Romanian coordinator set up the FOND website: the new platform blog is at www.fondromania.wordpress.com. This gives basic information on the platform and its activities (including in English).
