And by competitive, I mean something that offers more, feels more and is baked in with premium features the standard of what NVIDIA has done with the Shield TV. The company has a norm of updating its Shield TV line Android boxes after two years, and with the second-gen NVIDIA Shield TV launched in 2017, what else could be the next rollout year if not 2019. Just in time, NVIDIA has announced the third-gen Shield TV. Two models were announced today, Nvidia Shield TV and Nvidia Shield TV Pro. As far as the price wars go, there is a tiny $50 difference in price between the two. Well, since NVIDIA does not include version numbers for the shields, this one’s are simply the “2019 Editions.” Related Articles Google, Microsoft, Qualcomm Raise Concern Over Nvidia’s Proposed $40bn ARM Acquisition February 16, 2021 Kenyan Fintech Hisa Joins NVIDIA Inception Programme May 19, 2022 From the word go, there are performance improvements, a new remote and new form factor, as well for one variant. The Pro version sports the same good old classic design of the previous generation Shield TV. The internals is quite different, as you would expect. NVIDIA Shield TV Pro runs on new Nvidia Tegra X1+ SoC aided with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage. The new processor delivers up to a 25% performance increase over the old chip powering the 2017 Shield TV. The back of the Shield TV Pro has several ports, including a HDMI 2.0 port, two USB-A 3.0 ports, and a wired Gigabit Ethernet Port. The standard version of the Shield TV sports a similar chipset too under the hood, with 8GB of internal storage and 2GB of memory. For this model, forget about the USB ports. The Shield TV comes in a smaller form factor, however. For streaming purposes, both NVIDIA Shield TV and Shield TV Pro features several improvements over the previous generation; AI-powered 4K upscaling, Dolby Vision HDR support, also Dolby Atmos surround sound. And, of course, the new remote that features voice search, motion-activation, backlit buttons and an IR blaster to control your TV as well as a built-in lost remote locator. Aside from that, there is also dual-band AC Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth 5.0 support. It is also worth mentioning that the new Shield TV Pro does not ship with a game controller, which I know, won’t resonate well especially to owners of the 2017 Pro Edition. Finally, for the price, NVIDIA Shield standard version will be selling at $149(approx. Ksh 15,000) while the Pro version will set you back by $50 more – $199 (approx. Ksh 20,000).

Farms — Yes Yes Marsha About Work with Me Workshops and Training for Organizations Take Your Speech from Good to Global Speaking/Workshops Keynotes Workshops and Training Blog Praise and Testimonials Tag Archives: Farms What happened when I – a skeptic – did Horse Therapy Marsha (Yes Yes Marsha)15 Comments Sometimes, you’re in so much pain that you seem to push right through to the other side. It’s like your pain went 360 degrees around, and the wholeness feels almost as satisfying as it does wretched. It was March and the coldest day of the year so far. The sun was shining fiercely, one of these perfect, crisp, Winter days we get in Ontario. My friend Jenn and I were driving through the countryside to her farm. She’s a business buddy, a former therapist who now does Equine Therapy – therapy for people, using horses. I’d been curious about it ever since I read (one of my heroes) Martha Beck talk about it. But also, I was secretly a bit skeptical. I mean, it’s a horse. What can it do for me? A few weeks before, I’d been telling Jenn that i… READ MORE Learn the MAGIC BULLET for powerful storytelling!

Find out the latest news on POOP by reading our Updates and by following us on Twitter and Facebook!
POOP: The Game is an original card game created by kids and adults for kids and adults. Kids love it because of the silly designs and opportunity to make poop jokes. Adults love it because POOP makes them act like kids.
EDUCATIONAL: Younger children get a healthy dose of basic math while playing POOP. Seriously! You'll see them adding up the POOP cards to make sure they don't clog the toilet!
INTERACTION: One of the funnest stages of UNO is remembering to say "UNO" when down to your last card. POOP takes this one step further giving players similar responsibilities throughout the entire game. If you forget and other players remind you then you have to draw another card (and take a drink if you're playing POOP as a drinking game. Speaking of...)
DRINKING GAME FOR ADULTS: After getting feedback from our successful (and critically acclaimed) ZOMBIE SHUFFLE campaign, we learned that many people loved that we included drinking rules. For this reason we've made POOP an even easier drinking game. Players take drinks if they draw a card or clog the toilet and everyone drinks if the toilet is flushed.
ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES: We've found at least 5 other exciting ways to play POOP using the same standard deck! You'll find the Alternate Rules PDF in the downloadable Trial Version of POOP and on this update but we are very interested in what you come up with when playing with friends and family. Experiment and send us your ideas! We'll credit you if we share it with the POOP community.
We are Feels Right Design, a graphic design house based in Chicago, IL focusing on social justice and grassroots movements. We also create tabletop games for kids and adults, obviously. We'd also love to have you join us on social media as we announce exciting upcoming projects!
Any other important details? Yes! If you play the trial and have a great idea for the game we'd love to hear it. Let's make POOP the best game possible.
Also, we are printing with Ad Magic again. They are high-quality and trusted printers and have been making a name for themselves in the indie gaming scene. Each deck contains 47 cards, including a rules card.
Posters! This is the 11x17" poster. Wouldn't it look great in your bathroom? Add the poster to any reward level by adding $8 per poster.
SHOUT OUTS! Big thanks to Ian Randall for the commercial voice-over and Nick Chandler for being a huge part of this project. Thanks to the Sewell and Olson families for acting in the commercial. Thanks to Suburban Pro Studios for allowing us the use of their camera. Thank you to all of the backers of ZOMBIE SHUFFLE, we couldn't be here with that initial success. We also owe an attribution, POOP: The Game commercial music from www.bensound.com. | positive |

Visitation will be held Monday, March 28, from 7:00-8:30 p.m. at Tharp Funeral Home, and one hour preceding the service on Tuesday. Send Flowers Live Stream Joan Elizabeth Trost March 23, 2022 Joan Elizabeth Trost, 92, went to Heaven on March 23, 2022. Born in Lima, Ohio, she was the daughter of the late Rev. Walter David Landes and Nina Elizabeth Landes. She was preceded in death by her husband of 66-1/2 years, Donald Richard Trost, sisters Miriam Stover and Marjorie Hanthorn, and brother Lester Landes. Joan is survived by her loving children; son Steve (Robyn); son Stan; daughter Sylvia Good (Don); grandchildren Jesse Trost (Ashley), Ben Trost (Casey), Jeremy Trost (Alex), Joy Shull (Robbie), Josh Trost, Brooke Unruh (Kyle), Kyle Good, Lauren Wood (Ryan); great grandchildren Cherish & Wyatt Trost, Crosby & Hudson Shull, Kaiden & Kylie Unruh, and Mia Trost. She taught Elementary School, Sunday School, VBS, Child Evangelism Clubs, Children’s Church, led Puppet Ministry & Youth, and sang in the Church Choir for many years. She and Don served together in S.O.W.E.R.S. and led “Young At Heart” for the Senior Adults at Heritage Baptist Church. For several years, she was an Angel in the “I Can Only Imagine” Heaven Scene of Judgment House at Heritage. She loved nature, birds, plants, her pets Yogi, Tillie & Elsa, and perhaps had the largest collection of owls ever seen. Most of all, she loved investing into her family and the get-togethers for any occasion. A Celebration of Life will be held at Tharp Funeral Home, Lynchburg, at 12:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 29, 2022. Visitation will be held Monday, March 28, from 7:00-8:30 p.m. at Tharp Funeral Home, and one hour preceding the service on Tuesday. Tharp Funeral Home & Crematory, Lynchburg, is assisting the family. Joan Trost – Family Tributes Steve Trost (son): Mom was the best Mom, Grandma and Great-Grandma that we could have asked for. She loved her family tremendously, and we loved her. She loved and served her Lord her whole life and, up until the last few weeks of her life, seldom missed a day reading at least some in her Bible and praying for everyone in her family. I know that if she were able to come back and be with us again, she would want above everything else to be sure that every one of her loved ones was living for Jesus, and was sure of joining her in Heaven one day. Mom was always there for us, supporting and encouraging each of us. She will be greatly missed. One of my first memories of her was when, at age 7, she told me how to ask Jesus to forgive my sins and come into my heart, and I did. Both of my parents were wonderful role models of what it is to live a Christian life, and I will be forever thankful for that. A few minutes before she passed, though nearly blind, her eyes opened wide and she seemed to look right past us. We think she caught a glimpse of Heaven, or even of Dad or an Angel coming to take her to see Jesus. Though death is never easy, God’s timing was evident, as it was with Dad’s passing. The family was able to be at her side at home as she left peacefully. Though we are saddened beyond words that she is no longer here, we can’t help but be thankful that she no longer suffers, she is reunited with Dad, and we know she is in Heaven with Jesus. Robyn Trost (daughter-in-law): I only knew this lady about 7 years but in those 7 years I was blessed to know her and then become her daughter in law. She was so special. A Proverbs 31 woman for sure. She often told me that we “spoke the same language” and I was very flattered by that, because she was definitely a lady. She taught me names of birds, names of flowers, shared her recipes, enjoyed a well set dinner table, celebrated every occasion possible, made new dishes that she thought everyone should like and was “highly offended” if it was not your taste and never let you live it down. She gave me one of my greatest gifts ever, Steve! When I married him, I was gifted wonderful in-laws and I am so thankful. Being able to visit her weekly and talk to her about life was a treat. Being with her when she passed on to heaven, an honor. Knowing she is in the arms of Jesus and seeing her husband, whom she has missed everyday since he left in January of 2019, priceless. Thank you Ma for accepting me into your family, for loving me, for teaching me, for playing a joke on me this past thanksgiving, just because “you care”. I love you and am so happy you finally are dancing with Pa on streets of gold and have a body that is free of pain and suffering. You are an angel. Stan Trost (son): Mom was a creative, eclectic, and virtuous inspiration to me, often encouraging to do for others before oneself. I will forever cherish her meals, home decorating, music, love of nature, and marriage with Dad. I miss you Mom and will love you forever! Sylvia Good (daughter): Mom was always hard to keep up with! As a child, I thought she had the longest legs in the world, even though she was 5’1” I needed to keep my eyes on her or I’d be left behind! She was always busy and involved in all kinds of things and a wonderful cook! I would love staying up for late night talks through my teen and college years! Mom never hesitated to speak her mind, but I know she always wanted what was best for me. She enjoyed being involved in my activities, as well as my family’s. Great memories of family gatherings and holidays, camping, her grandkids sledding followed by hot chocolate and borrowing her home for parties and sleepovers, and just stopping by for a visit! She loved involvement in our lives and activities. Three years ago after Dad passed, she went with us to visit our son, Kyle, in Nashville, and kept up with us quite well! I was hoping for many more years like that. As things continued to change, she clearly let every doctor, nurse, or medical person know she was ready to go to heaven. But, I wasn’t ready…even when her strength was gone, there was a glimmer of hope for so very long for her to eat one more bite or take one more sip, to wake up one more time, for just one more brief conversation, to get one more kiss or smile…and to not be in pain… I will always miss her love, support, encouragement, fun times, holidays and events with her, family gatherings at her home, and just stopping by to see Mom. I am so richly blessed and thankful for all these years with her and the many things I have learned, as well as being able to be there for her final breaths on earth. I can’t wait to see her new body again in heaven, along with Dad’s! Don Good (son-in-law): Joan, Grandma, was my mother-in-law, I called her Mom for nearly 33 years. Follower of Christ for 85+ years. Sold out to Him. Great wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother, and friend. I really could talk with her about anything. Ben Trost (grandson): She was one of a kind, the life of the party. Always finding reasons for us all to get together. So many memories and good times. Life moves on but it won’t be the same. Miss you both… Brooke Unruh (granddaughter): Nothing makes me happier than thinking of my grandma’s sweet and long-awaited reunion with my grandpa in heaven. What I will miss most about grandma is her smile and her pure joy and excitement whenever I got to see her. My grandma loved “love” more than anyone I know. Throughout 66-1/2 years of marriage, she and my grandpa always got dressed up to celebrate their anniversary and even celebrated their dating anniversary. Year after year, they remained “in love.” Grandma always tried to be quite the matchmaker. Many would be surprised to know that she faithfully watched the show “The Bachelor” and I always enjoyed chatting with her about what was going on during the episodes from year to year. I always knew grandma loved me very much, but since I’ve become a mother, I get to have an even better picture of how big that love was through the way my mom loves and adores being a grandma (Gigi) to my children. I know that love is the same love my grandma had for all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. I hope that when it’s my time to leave this world, that people would look back on my life to see a woman with many of grandma’s attributes. A woman who strived to put Christ first in all things. A woman who dearly loved her husband with all of her heart, for all of her life. A woman who loved, adored, and cherished her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. A woman who loved serving others. A woman after God’s own heart. Jeremy Trost (grandson): Grandma, Like you, I’m going to keep this short and sweet. I can’t begin to describe what you meant to this family, how much joy and wisdom you’ve imparted on us over the years. You were one of a kind. Loving, caring, strong, fiesty…there was no quit in you. Selfless—You could have left us years ago, but you stuck around long enough to see me get married and even longer for me to contribute another grand-minion to your growing brood of grandpa look-a-likes. I know you tried to stick around long enough to see Josh and Kyle get married, but we all knew you couldn’t wait forever. Thanks for hanging in there. Thanks for all the days I got to spend talking and laughing with you. Thanks for praying for me and offering good life advice. Thanks for setting a great example for this family. Thanks for never giving up, on anyone, ever. Thanks for all the memories. Life just won’t be the same without you. It was a long road, but you made it. Your time was served, your debt paid. Finally, you can rest in the hands of the Almighty. Give grandpa a hug for me. I’ll see you both soon. Kyle Good (grandson): I couldn’t be more blessed getting to have this lady as my Grandma. She was quite the character with a larger than life personality and dramatic reactions that often made us laugh. She loved God and her family more than anything and was never afraid to speak her mind, even when it was tough love. Grandma was always a romantic and often tried to play matchmaker for us all. I’m pretty sure her biggest fear for me was that I would die alone. She tried to set me up many times over the years, often with one of the homeschool girls from her church (no offense to those who are/were homeschooled and sorry that I’m still single, Grandma). I will never forget all the fun times we shared at my grandparents’ house with my sisters and cousins – early morning hot chocolates while Grandma and Grandpa drank their coffee, playing hide and seek and her chasing us kids around the house pretending to be an ogre, washing our disgusting feet after we would play outside barefoot, the best snow days, birthday parties, bonfires, camping trips, and family gatherings always complete with delicious home cooked meals – minus the coleslaw, fruitcake, and copper pennies (whatever those were). Grandma and I shared mutual interests for things like animals, traveling, music, and theatre. We watched ‘The Sound of Music’ together multiple times over the years, and I even got her to become a Carrie Underwood fan this past year after playing her Carrie’s gospel album. At 91, Grandma remembered and sang along with the lyrics of every hymn on the album. She and Grandpa were two of my biggest supporters. I am so thankful for their abundant love, presence, and example they were to us all. I will cherish our memories together until we all meet again. Though we will miss her tons, I feel mostly at peace knowing Grandma had been longing for this and she is now doing better than ever. I have no doubt that Jesus greeted her saying, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant,” and it makes me so happy to imagine her reunion with Grandpa. Joy Shull (granddaughter): There are a whole lot of lives that are here because of my grandma. I’ll keep with me some of my favorite memories of her: the warm foot baths that were my favorite. I used to think it was just something she liked to do but later realized I’m sure it was necessity due to my feet always being black from running around barefoot outside. How she always made the best homemade bread and cinnamon rolls. There was nothing like a piece of fresh bread with butter or a warm cinnamon roll on a Saturday morning, sleepovers and puppet shows with my cousins, and sledding all day in the winter followed by hot chocolate and more home cooked meals. She truly loved her family and she will be missed by us all. Lauren Wood (granddaughter): When I think of my Grandma, I think of someone who was godly, intentional, hard-working, determined, a homemaker, creative, artistic, enthusiastic, spunky, classy, candid, outspoken, honest, genuine, servant-hearted, someone who put family first, a lover of animals, and a owl/bird fanatic. My aunt said it well, she truly was a Proverbs 31 Woman. She loved others with everything in her. She was a wonderful wife who loved and cared for my Grandpa so well for 66 & 1/2 years. She is loved dearly by her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. She was always hard at work and kept herself busy. She used her creativity and servant’s heart to bless and serve others. She made the most beautiful and thoughtful birthday cards that I will treasure forever. She was an amazing cook, and taught me to clean my plate at a young age. Everything she did in life seemed to be done with purpose and intent. She was so full of life. If I had exciting news, she was someone I was eager to share it with. And her reaction never disappointed. Her enthusiasm for others would light up a room. She gave the best hugs—she hugged tight and let me know that I’d be missed until next time. And she lived with true integrity, which is hard to come by. I made countless memories with my siblings and cousins at grandma and grandpa’s including playing games at their house with my grandparents, sleepovers at their house with breakfast often including Grandma’s homemade cinnamon rolls which were the best, snow days with cousins and friends sledding down the best hill behind their house (but also the worst hill to climb back up), adventures in the woods and creek behind their house with my cousins, birthday parties at their house including games, bonfires, hayrides, and sleepovers. My grandparents, along with my parents, were my biggest cheerleaders throughout my years in school and including nursing school. They supported me at every academic, musical, and sporting event possible and were a big encouragement to me throughout nursing school. As I grew up, I enjoyed regularly spending time with my grandparents. My favorite adult memories included just watching the way my grandparents interacted—even their bickering was in love. I loved seeing the way they loved each other. I loved hearing them talk about their younger years, especially stories about when they were first dating and when they got engaged. I loved watching the way they cared for one another as they grew older together. A love like theirs seems rare these days. And I pray that my marriage mirrors the love of Christ the way that theirs did. Other favorite memories included Grandma’s reaction when I told her I was engaged as well as her reaction when she saw me in my dress on my wedding day, and of course just having her be a part of that day meant so much to me. It was difficult to see my grandma live for 3 years without her other half, but it taught me about the brevity of life and taught me to spend time with those I love when I have the chance. My grandma is one of the most special people in my life and I will miss her dearly, but I am filled with peace and joy for her knowing she is finally with her Savior and with my grandpa—both of which she has been waiting so eagerly to be with. Josh Trost (grandson): Grandma was one of the best cooks and always had the best family get togethers. I’m glad you finally get to be with grandpa again. I love you both.

I understand she was the rock of the family and a wonderful lady. So glad you have all the great memories. I am praying for all of your family. Posted by Joyce Kanode on March 30, 2022 Dear Trost Family, Just finished reading the beautiful tributes you each have left in memory of your sweet mom/grandma (and dad/grandpa). We were honored to have known Mr. and Mrs. Trost (church/HBC). For many years the S.S. class we attended (known as Young Marrieds at the time) joined with the Young at Heart group for a Thanksgiving/Harvest celebration. Our class provided the meal and games and the Young at Heart class brought cans of vegetables to place in a large soup kettle/crock pot mixed with a broth for a yummy soup concoction! Tom and I grew to love your parents/grandparents. Sometimes costumes were a part of our fun evening and your folks often came dressed as "hobos". They would lay down on the carpeted floor and show us (in their words) "how hobos slept!" (side by side though feet at opposite ends). They were a joyful couple who enjoyed each other and enjoyed making new friends of the young couples. It was always a joy to stop and chat with them at church. Never a complaint .. always a smile, always a joyful spirit, always a wonderful testimony for the Lord. Loved, loved, loved them! May you continue to draw comfort in the knowledge that your parents/grandparents are with the Lord and that because of God's gift of salvation, seeing them again and spending eternity together will one day be a reality for all who are in Christ! Praying for you as you journey through this time of earthly sorrow.

One of the annual traditions of the NFL season is publishing All-Star teams in January. The Pro Bowl and All-Pro team are the most famous of them but certainly not the only ones. The Pro Football Writers of America, for example, also release selections for the best players in the NFL each year.
Yesterday, the PFWA announced who has made its 2016 All-NFL, All-AFC and All-NFC teams. Four Patriots are part of them, but only one was voted to the All-NFL team:
ST Matthew Slater
As has been the case on the AP’s All-Pro team, Slater is the only player to represent the Patriots. Overall, it is the fourth time that the PFWA votes the 31-year old to its All-NFL squad. He also was on the 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2016 teams.
The All-AFC team, on the other hand, has more Patriots on it:
QB Tom Brady LB Dont’a Hightower FS Devin McCourty ST Matthew Slater
With all of New England’s selection having also been voted to both the Pro Bowl and the AP All-Pro team, seeing their names on the PFWA’s All-conference team is not that big of a surprise. Hightower is a first-time recipient of the honor, while Brady, McCourty and Slater have all been voted All-AFC before.
Only the Kansas City Chiefs have more players – five – on the conference-team than the Patriots. | positive |

One of our most anticipated games for this year is Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. Not only is it a sequel to one of the best single-player shooters in years, a game that like Doom 2016 had no business being as good as it was as an iD Software reboot, but it’s also super timely. The game is about hardened heroes taking the United States back from Nazis and fascists and white supremacists who have stolen control. Where have I heard that before?
Along with its excellent gunplay, the modern Wolfenstein series (The New Order, The Old Blood, and now The New Colossus) has continued to surprise us with its shockingly excellent and soulful narrative. Characters have thoughtful inner monologues and relationships before slaughtering Nazis on the moon. If you’re looking for more of that narrative before the game drops in late October, check out the new Wolfenstein comic book from Titan Comics.
(Note: embedded art not final)
Having previously worked on other video game-into-comic adaptations like Assassin’s Creed Uprising, writer Dan Watters has no trouble easing readers into the status quo Machine Games has created. The first part of this two-part series features a handful of stories from the Wolfenstein world players can soon expect to re-enter.
Things start bleak at a doomed sanctuary for underground American survivors of the Nazi regime’s extermination policies. It feels a bit like The Walking Dead except the dread comes from a hateful fascist smiling in your face and asking to drill for oil with his army behind him instead of a slow-moving horde of the best prosthetics AMC can buy.
The writing captures the same kind of existential melancholy of life under Nazi rule that made such a strong impression in the game while still managing to coexist with schlock like giant Nazi robot death dogs. The realism just makes the catharsis of extravagant interactive revenge killings all the sweeter.
From there things get stranger as we flashback to an actual Castle Wolfenstein and the occult experiments its kommandants are up to. Here the art by Piotr Kowalski and Ronilson Freire gets a little more room to shine. The first section features a fine 2D transliteration of the game’s violent art style, but this more bizarre location allows for unsettling eerie colors and alien creature design.
There’s a definite Lovecraft vibe to the foreboding undersea structures and their inhabitants, which makes sense considering Lovecraft was also obsessed with blood purity to a racist degree. Based on past Wolfenstein games, and the fact that it is a video game, I’d guess the weird sci-fi terror teased here ends up being one of the bigger plot points of the game itself. The New Order did have you learning secret ancient Jewish super science from a Holocaust survivor after all. Exploring what would happen if the dumb lore Nazis loved so much was actually real has always been a huge part of Wolfenstein.
Finally, after being alluded to throughout the prior sections as the infamous anarchist Terror-Billy, our hero B.J. Blazkowicz makes an appearance at the end of the issue for another 1940s flashback. It’s just some good old-fashioned, unapologetic, alternate World War II Nazi killing. Barring some extra blood and cursing, it’s an adventure that B.J.’s fellow time-displaced Hitler-punching antifa hero Captain America might have gone on. They have the same meaty Aryan hunk faces. It’s also an intense action sequence that might as well just be a playable set piece in the game and makes us wonder if we can expect more flashbacks in the finished product. There was already so much of that in DLC spin-off The Old Blood.
Part One of the Wolfenstein prequel comic ends with a promise of a conclusion, which is good because all of its tales are definitely more set-ups than payoffs. But the real finale will be when we finally get our hands on Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus dropping October 27 on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. This comic, while a fine collection of Wolfenstein stories in its own right, is mostly made of teases that just have us more excited to play, which I suspect was the point all along. Gotta hear both sides, unless one side has literal Nazis on it.
Wolfenstein #1 is available for $5.99.
Slides View as: One Page 1. Prepare yourself for the new Wolfenstein game with this two-part prequel comic. 2. Nazis have stolen control of America in the Wolfenstein universe, too. 3. Like the games, the comic meshes a melancholy and thoughtful tone with violent schlock, to surprisingly great effect. 4. There are also strange, occult elements teased we suspect will play a big role in the game itself. 5. Although it's primarily a tease for the game, the Wolfenstein comic is a fine collection of stories about life under fascist rule.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said that Ankara-backed militants will advance toward the northern Syrian town of Manbij in Aleppo province after they accomplish their mission in al-Bab city in the same province. Meanwhile, Syria has strongly denounced Ankara’s attacks near al-Bab.
Ankara seeks “to absorb northern Syria into the greater Turkey,” because the Turkish authorities want to take possession of Syrian water and oil resources, says Richard Hayden Black, a Republican member of the Virginia state Senate.
Turkey uses terrorist groups like Daesh and al-Qaeda to carry out ethnic cleansing in northern Syria and pave the ground for Ankara's dominance there, the senator told Press TV on Tuesday.
According to Hayden Black, “The group ISIS (Daesh) is sort of a tool of Turkey, of the United States, [and] of all of these groups (US allies). They don’t want [Syria] to eventually survive, because Erdogan sees himself as the head of a vast caliphate, [and] as [the head of] a resurgent Ottoman Empire that stretches from Europe onto China.”
“Turkey has been the greatest ally of the ISIS (Daesh) throughout most of the six-year war” in Syria, he said, adding that Daesh had 2,000 oil tankers, which carried massive amounts of oil stolen from Syria and took it to Turkey.
Back in August, Turkish Special Forces, tanks and jets, backed by planes from the US-led coalition, launched their first coordinated offensive in Syria in an alleged bid to battle terror groups such as Daesh and the Democratic Union Party (PYD), a US-backed Kurdish group based in Syria.

A prototype for an updated version of the BMW M4 has been spotted once more.
The changes are part of a mid-cycle update planned for the entire 4-Series range. The cars should be introduced in 2017, as 2018 models.
The prototype reveals that the updated M4 will be receiving some of the mods fitted to the high-performance M4 GTS, such as that model’s front lip spoiler and vented hood.
2016 BMW M4 GTS
The updated M4 also looks to be receiving some tweaks to the lights in the form of new graphics. The tweaked lights will be common across the updated 4-Series range.
It’s not clear what mechanical mods are planned though the addition of the M4 GTS hood may hint at an uprated powertrain. The M4 GTS features the same turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 as the M4 but delivers an impressive 493 horsepower and 442 pound-feet of torque, thanks in part to a water-injection system.
While we don’t expect the car to adopt the water-injection system, we may see power lifted to 444 hp, up from the current 425 hp. At present, the 444-hp rating can be added by ordering the Competition Package announced for the 2017 model year.

In the cabin, we can expect some new trim options including possibly some lightweight options like those in the M4 GTS, such as the lightweight seats and center console.
This should be the final update for the M4 before a successor is introduced. A new 3-Series arrives in 2017, and a new 4-Series, including a new M4, should follow a year or two later.
Note, BMW M engineers are also developing a new GT4-spec race car based on the M4. Spy shots of a prototype can be viewed here. | positive |

It is so funny, your arguments always have the same problem whether it's cars or computers. Your assumptions are always wrong because you lack actual experience. I used to own a BMW M2 before I ditched it for a Porsche and I was an engineering partner that helped the early aftermarket companies (specifically CSF Racing) bring track-focused parts to market. The car was torn apart in my garage with 200 miles on it and I was laser scanning the radiator, intercooler, oil cooler, and DCT cooler to help develop parts that could handle track duty (the M2 over heated if you were skilled to drive it fast enough, unlike what all the magazine drivers claimed). I personally tore out every subsystem on that car including the suspension, brakes, cooling system, developed coding methods to disable intrusive electronic nannies that interfered with track use, etc. So yeah, I don't doubt that you assume people that drive BMWs and use Apple products don't know what they are doing, because you don't know what you are doing and it seems a logical assumption that everyone is just like you. But if you ever actually get out on the track with someone that does, you're going to realize very, very quickly that reality doesn't jive with your assumptions. For what it's worth, though I no longer track a BMW (I feel the brand has gone in a different direction focused on luxury and sustainability instead of driving enjoyment) they are the second most common cars I see at track events behind Porsches and maybe tied with Miatas.

My point was that Duke's lack of experience and propensity for grandiose statements led him to choose an example that was not really correct. While most car owners in general lease cars and know nothing about them, those numbers are far less for performance-oriented brands like BMW and Porsche. For example, if he had made that statement about Mercedes or Buicks I would have no leg to stand on. But as an overall owner group, BMW owners tend to be among the most knowledgeable about how their cars work and perform (the entire reason BMWs gained prominence was their performance, not their luxury), and they have among the highest participation rate in racing and working on them. Ultimately, Duke's lack of experience in this area led him to make a relatively foolish statement. I'm not saying you need to own products or have experience in an area before commenting on it, but it certainly helps.

How is any of this proving me wrong? You did all this which is great but you really think most people do this? BTW, I too am a car nut and here's one of many videos I made showing me fixing my Porsche 928 I rebuilt entirely. The sad thing is that the temp sensor housing I designed and printed had already been done by someone else on rennlist, making my accomplishment seem lesser and also wasting my time if I had known someone had already done it. So tell me again how I lack actual experience, not that it matters at all to this discussion.

Know what they say when you assume, you make an ass out of u and me. You think all Apple users are computer science majors, which btw I am and a network engineer. I understand that most people who use a computer have the mentality to believe it's a box filled with magic fire. Same goes for cars, except the engine is filled with horses. The fact that you're upset that I even said this is amazing. End users are ignorant to how computers work. Most people who use computers, including Apple products are functionally illiterate. For what it's worth, here's my Corvette C5 with a "mild" cam, long tube headers, ported and polished 241 heads, and a tune. All done by me. The transmission was bad in the video but I have since replaced the trans and torque converter that took me 11 hours straight to do. You think I'm only active on this forum? You'll find me all over the place. Had to recently tell off some people at Benzworld because they thought a Mercedes 300E had two fuel relays when it just has one built into the MAS relay. They couldn't read a wiring diagram, but I have since fixed the issue by reflowing the solder joints on the MAS.

I have a friend who in 2020 bought a BMW 650i that I told him not to get the car because BMW's are shit. I never owned a BMW but like Apple products I have worked on them. Quick Google shows that they're known to have valve seals go bad and that gets expensive fast to repair. Guess what happened? Guess who's going to fix it for him this year when I have time? I repair Apple products as well and I have stories for what shit designs I've seen and had to repair. I don't own Apple products for the same reason I don't own BMW's, and that's because I know they're shit. That doesn't mean I need to own them to critique them. We do have the internet where people can make that mistake for you and tell you not to, and give good reasons. Technical reasons, which is the best kind of correct.

Obviously it'd be nice to have a more substantial jump after the better part of two years, but Apple was starting from a good place.

What I'm curious about is whether apple can get single threaded ipc much higher. They made big wins by going wider than everybody else, using large fast caches, and high bandwidth memory interfaces. These are all very logical choices but I wonder if they are tapped out. Their last 2 cpu releases have been kinda weak in the ipc deparment. When intel and AMD both go wider with Zen 5/15th gen (If I remember correctly) I'm assuming IPC will be pretty comparable across all 3 brands, then it's just a question of clock speeds and power efficiencies which it's not obvious to me in 2 years where everybody will be at. Apple might be 1ghz faster by then, AMD and Intel might be substantially more power efficient. Apple will probably still have better manufacturing nodes at tmsc though so I assume they'll be ahead overall at least in laptop/mobile form factors. It also doesn't seem like intel and AMD are willing to make fast integrated graphics like Apple, so I suspect x86 laptops will still be using external gpu's with the pro's and con's (way faster, way higher power consumption).

They made big wins by going wider than everybody else, using large fast caches, and high bandwidth memory interfaces. These are all very logical choices but I wonder if they are tapped out.

And yes, I suspect Apple will still have manufacturing advantages that AMD and Intel can't easily challenge. I am curious to see how the GPU situation evolves; both AMD and Intel have talked a lot about improving integrated graphics, but the truth is still that I'd rather have Apple's GPU tech if I couldn't have dedicated hardware, all other things being equal. The main thing to remember: Apple has been consistently iterative in a way other chip designers typically haven't. The iPhone now generally outperforms all Android phones in part because Apple keeps delivering notable improvements each year. Qualcomm might provide yearly SoC updates, but it struggles more to provide tangible upgrades (Snapdragon 8 Gen 1, for example). While Apple isn't guaranteed to repeat history, it has a real chance when it's up against x86 rivals that tend to go years between significant design upgrades or get mired in process problems (it's not clear Intel is out of the woods yet).

Looking at the performance changes going from the A14 to the A15 are probably going to be pretty close in terms of CPU performance, the GPU is the outlier. The M1 performs about the same as a 1650TI, so if the increase of 43% that was leaked is accurate this at least bring it up around the 2060 moble edition which is at least usable. Obviously though tasks that are optimized for Apple Silicons GPU are going to run damed smooth though (gaming is not amongst those optimized tasks though).

Remember in that CPU's are not GPU's because CPU's are specifically about processing things in order. You can either increase the clock speed, which is what Apple seems to have done here, or create better branch prediction, which Apple didn't because they copied the PACMAN flaw from ARM, or add more cache, which Apple did do. Clock speed increase will eat more power along with bigger cache so do expect battery life to go down a bit with the M2.

Comparing the M1 to a 1650 TI is more accurate but also the 1650TI is based on old Nvidia tech.

They're at least a generation ahead with their accelerators, and they have a closed ecosystem. Maybe not as closed as, say, a Playstation or Xbox, but you can squeeze a lot of performance out of the hardware when you've got a lot of control. But in raw performance terms, only Apple fans will say it's overall better and faster when you compare things in earnest. Now I do expect Apple to be a power-sipper. Not just the chips, but the devices as a whole. Of course, that also comes with being in complete control; AMD and Intel can and probably do make chips that are as efficient, but they can't tell laptop and tablet companies how to set up their wireless stuff and all the other parts that they don't provide.

The Metal 3 and all the features there are going to swing things one way or another but if straight raster should be close.

The early reviews of the 13-inch MBP M2 I've seen suggest there is a significant increase in single-threaded speed, although that might be due to clock speed and cache as you suggested. Battery life is roughly as good as it was with the M1 model... I've seen a bit more or less runtime depending on the media outlet and their benchmarking procedures.

Ray tracing support would be nice, to be clear, but you're not about to play a ray-traced game with other integrated graphics. Apple seems to be in an odd middle ground where it's likely outperforming Xe and AMD's APUs by a wide margin, but doesn't (yet) have the feature set to fully compete with modern dedicated GPUs. I do think Apple is acknowledging computer gaming. The key, though, is that it's unlikely to mimic the Windows route and doesn't need to for this to prove successful. Apple hasn't had to court 'serious' gamers (the ones with pricey PCs and mile-long Steam libraries) to thrive; it'll probably be more than thrilled if it gets a student to buy a MacBook Air that can play the odd online shooter, or a family to get an iMac that plays recent kid-friendly titles.

Consoles are tied to the clock speed of the CPU, so it's no where near the same as Apple's hardware. The fact that most developers are using MoltenVK shows that it isn't even a huge factor.

Click to expand... You did watch the video I posted like a page or two ago where someone ran Fortnite on a M1 Max and got 1 hour and 36 minutes out of it. It's not efficient when you're not using the media engine which is used for video editing and playback.

And let’s be honest, nobody is running a 2060 mobile with raytracing and blah blah blah thinking that it’s a good 1080p performer. Click to expand... Again I posted a video from Linus Tech Tips where a RTX 3060 destroys M1 products in pure raster performance. Since the RTX 2060 is about the same in raster performance then the 2060 would still destroy an M1 machine. I don't know about the M2 but I seriously doubt it. Do I need to post those videos again to show this? Only when video editing is involved is when the M1's show their potential and that's mainly from the media engine. Also DLSS was created so games can be played with reasonable frame rates using Ray Tracing, including the RTX 2060. Minecraft is barely playable on the Apple M1, and certainly can't do Ray-Tracing like an RTX 2060. I do Ray-Tracing in Minecraft on my Vega 56 in Linux. You can fault this for Minecraft using OpenGL but that's still Apple's fault for having shit OpenGL drivers. Do you know how many applications still use OpenGL and have no plans to go Vulkan let alone Metal? The reason Apple M1 apologists say the M1 is closer to a 2060 or 3060 is because of Tomb Raider, which seems to perform the same on a M1 and 3060. Once you move to other games the differences become huge. Borderlands 3 which is available on Mac has to run on low settings to get a playable frame rate while on the 3060 it happily runs at max settings with no problems. Fortnite is native to Mac and it gets about 120fps, while a Ryzen 3 3200 with Vega 8 graphics can get the same frame rate. A RTX 3060 will get well over 200 fps in Fortnite, assuming everything is set to 1080p. I've not found many gaming benchmarks with the M1 vs PC but what few I've found is usually only doing Tomb Raider and if they include other games it's usually down voted because Apple apologists didn't like the results. It's closer to a 1650 Ti in both raster performance and capabilities.

CSGO is bad because it uses OpenGL and Apple gave up on OpenGL. Warhammer 3 requires M1 but uses Rosetta2 because it needs Intel features. World of Warcraft was nearly as fast as RTX 3090 but with visual artifacts. Video editing is still Apple M1's strength. M1 Ultra runs really hot. Though the fan speed doesn't change.

Donald Trump on Tuesday dismissively told highly respected television anchor Jorge Ramos to "go back to Univision" before security physically removed the Mexican-American journalist from a press conference in Dubuque, Iowa.
Ramos was trying to ask Trump about his plan to deport all undocumented immigrants, but the business mogul and GOP presidential candidate said he was interrupting. He insisted that security had made the decision to kick out Ramos, but said he was fine with it.
"This guy stands up and starts screaming," Trump said. "He's obviously a very emotional person."
Trump claimed he didn't know much about Ramos, which may have been true. But he probably should -- Ramos is wildly popular as a Spanish-language anchor and well-regarded for pressing politicians from both parties on issues, particularly immigration.
Trump, by contrast, is mostly disliked by Latinos, and going after Ramos is unlikely to help that fact.
The anchor was eventually let back into the press conference and got the chance to have an extended back-and-forth with Trump. Ramos pointed out that denying citizenship to children of undocumented immigrants, as Trump wants to do, would be a violation of the Constitution. Trump said he was wrong. Ramos asked how he would build a 1,900-mile wall; Trump said he could do it because he builds 95-story buildings.
When Ramos noted that an estimated 40 percent of undocumented immigrants came to the U.S. legally and overstayed their visa, Trump said, "I don't believe it."
Trump promised to deport undocumented immigrants who are gang members "so fast your head will spin." Others will also be deported but "good ones" would be allowed to come back, Trump insisted.
As to how he would do such a thing, Trump -- yet again -- wouldn't say.
"You know what it's called? Management," he said.
It wasn't Trump's first point of awkwardness with Univision, which he sued for $500 million in June after the network ended its contract to air the Miss USA pageant, which he co-owns.
Univision president of news and Fusion CEO Isaac Lee released a statement following Ramos' treatment at the event: "We'd love for Mr. Trump to sit down for an in-depth interview with Jorge to talk about the specifics of his proposals."

Asma Barlas, professor of politics, will research and teach at the University of Amsterdam next spring as the university’s Spinoza Chair. File Photo/The Ithacan Barlas, also director of the Center for the Study of Culture, Race and Ethnicity, said after she delivered a public lecture in Amsterdam this past November, faculty from the University of Amsterdam approached her and asked if she would be interested in the position. After she returned to the college and submitted samples of her research and course offerings, Barlas was formally offered the position for the Spring 2008 semester. The Spinoza Chair is named after 17th-century philosopher Baruch Spinoza, who was excommunicated from the Jewish community of Amsterdam for his radical views. Barlas said though the position is named after a philosopher, its purpose is to attract people from all different fields to the position. Other scholars who have served as Spinoza Chair include Richard Rorty, professor emeritus at Stanford University; Hilary Putnam, professor emeritus at Harvard University; and John Dupre, a professor of philosophy of science at Exeter University. Barlas said she is the first Muslim and the first Muslim woman to hold the position. “To me, that’s quite a landmark,” Barlas said. Barlas said she has several responsibilities as the Spinoza Chair, including giving public lectures, teaching graduate courses and leading faculty seminars. Barlas said public lectures are unusual for an academic appointment. “If you were to invite a professor over to Ithaca College, I don’t know if [the college] would impress upon them the need to give public lectures to the community, as well,” Barlas said. Barlas also said she would have the space to continue her own research and share it with the faculty in Amsterdam. “It’s a way to provide a community dialogue on what one might be doing,” Barlas said. Barlas said she will teach the same Islam course to graduate students in Amsterdam that she teaches to undergraduates at the college. The course examines Islam from both religious and political perspectives, Barlas said. “It’s not just a course in theology, it’s not simply a course in Muslim history, it’s not a course on Muslim politics,” Barlas said. “It’s kind of trying to look at the intersections of all three.” Frederik Kaufman, chair of the college’s philosophy and religion department, said by giving Barlas the chair, the philosophy department at the University of Amsterdam was taking a creative approach to filling a seat named after Spinoza, who was Jewish, and addressing the growing number of Muslims in Amsterdam. “They are trying to address the tension between Muslim and non-Muslim communities,” Kaufman said. Zillah Eisenstein, a politics professor at the college, said she thinks it’s a great honor when faculty at the college — especially Barlas — are recognized elsewhere. “Everyone she interacts with will be better for it,” she said.

ALBANY — Striking pre-emptively at an increasingly frequent foil, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo plans to announce a series of steps on Monday to safeguard insurance coverage against a possible repeal of all or parts of the Affordable Care Act in Washington.
The measures, taken via emergency regulations, will include requiring any private company doing business on the state’s insurance marketplace to guarantee the 10 “essential health benefits” required by President Barack Obama’s signature 2010 health care law. The governor will also direct the state’s health department to block any company that withdraws from the exchange from participating in Medicaid or its children’s health plan.
In a statement, the governor, a Democrat, said that “health care is a human right,” noting that he had also firmed plans to ensure contraceptive and abortion protections, something he initially outlined in January.
“With Washington trying to take a wrecking ball to our health care system, we are taking concrete steps to ensure core protections of the Affordable Care Act remain intact,” Mr. Cuomo said, adding that he would direct his Department of Financial Services to prevent any discrimination based on gender, age or pre-existing conditions, a politically charged topic in the health care debate. “New Yorkers will continue to have access to the quality medical care they need and deserve.” | positive |
Building An Image Browsing App With Realm, Imgur API, and React Native
Nader Dabit Blocked Unblock Follow Following Apr 6, 2016
Realm allows you to write to your app’s model layer in a safe, persisted, and fast way. Realm has a custom React Native api and fantastic documentation that can get you up and running quickly.
This app will work cross platform, it is up to you whether you want to build for iOS or Android.
The final application is available here.
This tutorial uses version 0.22.2 of React Native. If you are on a newer version there may be some inconsistencies. I’ll try to update this with the newest version as soon as possible!
We will use Realm along with Imgur’s free api to build an image browser. This app will allow you to add and remove categories of interest, and click on the categories to view these images (which we will persist to the device storage using Realm). Here is what the app will look like once we are done:
To get started, let’s first create a new React Native project.
To get this going, you need to have react-native cli installed on your machine (skip this if you already have React Native cli installed)
npm install -g react-native-cli
// If you have any issues getting React Native going, check out the getting started guide here.
Next, initiate a new project:
react-native init RealmImgur
After this is created, cd into the directory.
Before we go any further, we need to install rnpm (react-native package manager), which will link native dependencies (in this case, Realm) to React Native.
npm i -g rnpm
Now let’s install lodash and Realm and save them as dependencies:
npm i --save realm lodash
Now that realm is installed, we need to run rnpm link to link our project to the realm native module.
rnpm link realm
Now that these are installed, we need to create an imgur api key. To do this, go to https://api.imgur.com/ and click sign up if you do not have an account, or sign in if you do already have an account:
Next, click on ‘register an application’ on the left menu under general information:
Click on the blue ‘register an application’
Enter a name for your application Choose ‘anonymous usage without user authorization’. Enter some url for your callback, this does not matter for us because we are not using any authorization, but they do not let you leave it blank. Enter your email Fill out captcha Submit
You should come to a screen where you can view your client ID and Client secret. You should also receive and email with this info. The only thing we need is the client ID, so save this somewhere so we can reference it later.
We have everything set up now to start building our app.
Create a new folder called app, and in it create three new files: App.js, api.js, and ViewImages.js. App will be our main application view, ViewImages will be our image browser view, and api will hold our api call that we will be using to interact with Imgur. Our folder structure should now look like this:
Open index.ios.js if you are writing for iOS, or index.android.js if you are writing for Android.
Updating index file
Delete what is there now and instead paste in the following:
// index.ios.js or index.android.js
import React, {
AppRegistry,
Component,
Navigator
} from 'react-native'
import App from './app/App'
import ViewImages from './app/ViewImages'
class RealmImgur extends Component {
renderScene (route, navigator) {
if (route.name === 'App') {
return <App navigator={navigator} {...route.passProps} />
}
if (route.name === 'ViewImages') {
return <ViewImages navigator={navigator} {...route.passProps} />
}
}
configureScene (route) {
return Navigator.SceneConfigs.FloatFromBottom
}
render () {
return (
<Navigator
configureScene={this.configureScene.bind(this)}
style={{ flex: 1, backgroundColor: 'white' }}
initialRoute={{ name: 'App' }}
renderScene={this.renderScene.bind(this)} />
)
}
}
AppRegistry.registerComponent('RealmImgur', () => RealmImgur)b
We import AppRegistry, Component, and Navigator from React Native We our two new components we have yet to write, App.js and ViewImages.js We instantiate our RealmImgur class renderScene — this is a Navigator method. It will check the name that is passed to the route, and if it is App it will return the App component. If it is ViewImages, it will return the ViewImages component. We have passed in the navigator as props, and …route.passProps so we can pass properties to the View from our Navigator.push function configureScene — this is also a Navigator method. It will give us a popup from the bottom as opposed to the default floatFromRight on transition. In the render function, we are returning an instance of Navigator and passing in an initalRoute of App, along with some basic styling. We also attach our two navigator methods (configureScene and renderScene)
The final code for index.ios.js / index.android.js is here.
Creating App.js
Now that this is set up, let’s go into our App component and set it up:
Before we create our App class, let’s bring in everything we will need from React Native, realm, and lodash, as well as set up our basic Realm schema:
import React, {
View,
Text,
Component,
TextInput,
StyleSheet,
TouchableHighlight,
ScrollView
} from 'react-native'
import Realm from 'realm'
import _ from 'lodash'
let realm = new Realm({
schema: [{name: 'Categories', properties: {name: 'string'}}]
})
let favs = realm.objects('Categories') | positive |

Drinking and driving in Canada has undoubtedly been on the decline over the last quarter century. While over 800 Canadians per year are injured by a drunk driver, that figure is just half of what it was in the 1980s, and continues a sharp downward trend.
But with over 120 deaths and 800 injuries attributed to drinking and driving in Canada as recently as 2011, impaired driving remains a stubborn scourge, particularly in certain areas of the country. Outside of the northern territories, Saskatchewan and Prince Edward Island hold the dubious distinction of having the most police-reported impaired driving incidents in the nation, approximately doubling the Canadian average. With alcohol considered a factor in almost 30% of deaths from vehicle crashes in the most recent national statistics, the two provinces’ increased efforts to enact stricter laws and harsher penalties could not come soon enough.
Saskatchewan
In Saskatchewan, drinking and driving has been described as simply being part of the province’s “culture,” one that claims the lives of dozens, mostly young people, each year. With thousands of kilometres of rural highways and roads, the province’s police struggle to intercept even a modest fraction of the impaired driving activity in Saskatchewan. But the province’s leadership has finally decided to take action. Starting January 1, 2017, the “zero-tolerance” age for young drivers will rise from 18 to 21 (meaning any blood alcohol level, even below 0.08%, results in an immediate 60-day license suspension), while for all other drivers a blood alcohol level measured between 0.04% and 0.08% results in a 3-day vehicle seizure.
Prince Edward Island
Outside of the picturesque province, PEI is perceived as an idyllic, pastoral escape from the hustle and bustle of bigger cities and towns in Atlantic Canada and all points west. But inside, Islanders know all too well that drinking and driving remains a stubborn, deadly problem in the province. With a steady parade of drunk and drug-impaired drivers filling Charlottetown’s court system on a daily basis, the province was moved to introduce a harsher set of laws to help stem the tide. First-time offenders are required to have ignition interlocks installed (which require a breathalyzer-like test before the vehicle can be started), while second time offenders are sentenced to a minimum 30-day jail term and have their license suspended for 3 years.
The Territories
While the numbers in Saskatchewan and PEI are alarming, drinking and driving rates in the Territories suggest a downright public health emergency. Yukon and Northwest Territories, with police-reported drinking and driving incidents at more than three and five times the national average, respectively, continue to struggle with implementing effective legislation to stem the tide. With high rates of alcohol consumption and rural populations that heavily depend on cars to get around, political parties in the Territories differ on the most appropriate solution. In the Yukon, the NDP and Liberals have suggested far more aggressive rules on impounding vehicles and suspending offender’s licenses, while the Yukon Party favors an approach of hefty fines and increased education while allowing offenders to keep their vehicles.

Learn more about searching Welcome to Primo Online Help Welcome to Primo Online Help The Primo online help contains information on the following topics: Performing Basic Searches Using Browse Using the Brief Results Using Find Databases Tagging My Account Using e-Shelf Why Should I Sign In? Why Should I Sign Out? Using Queries, Alerts, and RSS Feeds Performing Basic Searches You can search very easily in Primo. Just type one or more words you are looking for and click the Search button. Primo assumes that you are searching for all the words you type unless OR or NOT are specified between the words and phrases. Once you are familiar with the basic Primo search, you might want to try doing more with the Search panel or use the Advanced Search option. Both of these options offer numerous features for making your searches more precise and enable you to get results that are more useful. How Can I Do More with the Search Panel? You can do more than just a simple search with the Search panel. Try the following search options to get the best results for your search: Searching for a Phrase Searching for Any Specified Words or Phrases Excluding Words or Phrases Searching Using Wildcard Characters Grouping Terms Within a Query Selecting Your Search Scope Using the Primo Central Search Scope Searching for a Phrase To search for a phrase, type quotation marks around the phrase. You can combine both words and phrases in your search. If you do not enclose the phrase with quotation marks, the system will find items that contain the individual words in the phrase, regardless of whether these words are located next to each other in the order specified. For example, to search for global warming as one term, type the following in the search box: Searching for Any Specified Words or Phrases You can search for items that contain at least one of the words or phrases you type in the Search box. To do so, type OR between the words or phrases. If you search for words or phrases without specifying OR or NOT, Primo assumes that you are searching for all the specified words or phrases. For example, to search for items with the word Irish or the word Celtic, type the following in the search box: To use Boolean operators (AND, OR, NOT) within search phrases, you must enter them in uppercase letters. Otherwise, Primo removes them and performs a simple search that includes all search phrases. Excluding Words or Phrases You can exclude items that contain specific words or phrases. To do so, type NOT and then type the word or phrase to exclude. If you search for words or phrases without specifying OR or NOT, Primo assumes that you are searching for all the specified words or phrases. For example, to search for items with the word Celtic and exclude any of these items with the word Irish, type the following in the search box: Searching Using Wildcard Characters You can include the following wildcard characters in your searches: ?—enter a question mark to perform a single character wildcard search. For example, type wom?n to search for records that contain the strings woman, women, and so forth. *—enter and asterisk to perform a multiple character wildcard search. For example, type cultur* to search for records that contain strings, such as culture, cultural, and culturally. The system ignores wildcard characters placed at the beginning of search terms. For example, the system treats the search terms ?aying and *aying as if you had searched for aying. Grouping Terms Within a Query You can use parentheses to group terms within a query. For example, to search for Shakespeare and either tragedy or sonnet, type the following in the search box: Selecting Your Search Scope The search scope defines where the system should perform the search. A default search scope is predefined based on your login, usually corresponding to your major field of study or some other criteria set up by the institution. However, you can change the scope of your search by selecting a search scope from the drop-down list as shown in the following example. The Selected Databases scope allows you to search remote databases that you have selected using the Find Databases feature. For information on selecting remote databases, see Selecting Databases. Using the Primo Central Search Scope Primo Central is a centralized search index that encompasses tens of millions of records of global or regional significance that are harvested from primary and secondary publishers and aggregators. To search from these resources, select the Primo Central search scope or a search scope that includes it. If you want to receive results for Primo Central items that do not contain full text, select the Expand beyond library collections check box. Using Browse The Browse search allows you to browse library material (local material only) in order to find information of relevance quickly. You can browse material by author, title, and subject. In the results, you can click an underlined entry to see its associated records. It is also possible to browse by call number, which returns a list of associated records in brief format. Clicking a title displays its full record. Example Browse Results by Title To access Browse, click the Browse Search link next to the simple search box, as shown below. Browse Search Link Your Space in Primo This section includes: Why Should I Sign In? Why Should I Sign Out? My Account Why Should I Sign In?

You can set a query to become an alert, that is, to run automatically and send you email notification once it locates new items answering your search criteria. Access external licensed resources. The institution offers licensed information resources to its users. Once you sign in, you can search and retrieve items from these additional resources. Use library services. You can benefit from library services such as requesting or recalling items. Tag and review items. You can assign words or phrases to items to help you organize and locate items later. Since tags are made public, other users can view your tags and use them. Additionally, you can review items to share your opinions with others. Why Should I Sign Out?

My Account My Account enables you to view the contents of your library card and perform library services, such as renewing a book or canceling a request.

What Is an Alert? Activating RSS Feeds What Is a Query? A query is a word or phrase you specify in the search panel to request information. You can do the following with queries: View the current session's queries and results. Save a query from the current session in order to use it later. Activate alerts on your saved queries to have them run automatically at scheduled times to provide you with updated results from queries. Activate RSS feeds to receive updates for your favorite queries. For more information, see Activating RSS Feeds. Viewing and Saving Queries If you are signed in, you can save a query by clicking the Save Search link, which appears below the facets on the Brief Results page.

My Queries Tab - This Session’s Queries This tab contains the following folders: This Session's Queries—this folder lists all of the queries that you have performed in the current session. Saved Queries & Alerts—this folder lists all of the queries and alerts that you have saved. If you are not signed in, your queries are available only during the current session. You can run a saved query yourself, or you can set it as an alert that runs automatically at scheduled times and sends you new results by e-mail. What Is an Alert? An alert is a process that runs your query automatically at scheduled times and sends you new results via e-mail. Viewing and Activating Alerts To view the list of alerts, click the Saved Queries & Alerts menu. To configure an alert for a saved query, click the Update link for that query and then specify the alert settings. Activating RSS Feeds Syndicated content, otherwise known as Really Simple Syndication (RSS), is a popular way to distribute information from Web sites. For example, using RSS, a news site or a blog can automatically feed its news articles or entries to a group of subscribers. RSS feeds in Primo are used to notify you of new items found by the query. RSS feeds can be activated from either the search results or the Saved Queries & Alerts folder on the My Queries tab. All that you need is to have an RSS reader installed on your computer. If your browser supports RSS, click the RSS button. A window from which you can subscribe to the RSS feeds opens. Follow the instructions in the window. If your browser does not support RSS, right-click the RSS button, copy the URL, and paste it into the RSS reader. Tagging This section includes: What Is Tagging? How Do I Tag? How Do I Search for a Tag? What Is Tagging? Tags are words or phrases that you can assign to items to help you organize and remember them. You share your tags with the community, enabling you to see the tags assigned to items by other users. In addition, tags you assign to items will also be available to the community. You can assign as many tags to an item as you like. Tags assigned to an item can be displayed as one of the following: Cloud—An alphabetic list of tags where the size of the text reflects the popularity of the tag, that is, the number of items you or the community have assigned to this tag. List—A list of the tags arranged in order of popularity, so that the most popular tag appears at the top of the list. The number of items that have been assigned this tag appears in parentheses to the right of the tag. Click a tag to search for all items that have been assigned the tag. Using the Tagging panel, you can: View all tags assigned to this item Assign and remove tags for this item Search for all items that have been assigned one of this item's tags How Do I Tag? The tags you see are listed in order of popularity, with the most popular tag at the top of the list. You can see all the tags you are using, as well as everyone else's tags for this item. When you assign a tag, keep in mind the following question, "What tags or words will help me remember this page a few months from now?" This is a good starting point for assigning tags. You do not have to rely on the designer of a system to provide you with an appropriate category. You make up tags as you need them, and use the tags that make the most sense to you. Do not delete existing tags from the Add or delete tags for this item area unless you want to remove them from this item. You can do the following: Assign an existing tag to the current item. Select the box next to the tag you want to assign to the item or type the tag name into the Add or delete tags for this item area. You can check as many tags as you want. If you are typing the tag names into the Add or delete tags for this item area, type a comma between each tag name. Assign a new tag to the current item. Type the name of the new tag in the Add or delete tags for this item area. Tags must not exceed 35 characters and can contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, and apostrophes. Remove your tag from the current item. Delete the tag in the Add or delete tags for this item area or uncheck the tag in the list of tags. How Do I Search for a Tag? A list of tags is available in the Tags page, where they are arranged according to how recently they were assigned and their popularity. The most popular tag list can also be viewed as a cloud. You can search for additional tags that do not appear on the Tags page by typing a search string in the Search for Tag area and then clicking GO. | negative |
It's here! It's here! Well, if you're brave! Firefox 5 isn't the official release listed over at Firefox.com, but that doesn't mean that it's not out yet. A few folks who poked and prodded within Mozilla's FTP listings find that v5.0 actually is out, officially, but you'll need to do a little undercover work to discover it. This newest version adds support for CSS animation, an easy-to-find Do Not Track setting, and not a ton of user interface tweaks. For the most part, it looks and acts like Firefox 4.If you have nothing better to do on a Sunday, you might as well give it a go and see if drains fewer resources than past versions, or if it feels more stable. Otherwise, be patient and wait for the final-final version to hit the website. It'll be tough to resist, we're certain. | positive |

Quality textures, well built in the prim attachments, nice falls of skirts, and so on. Then you see just how much you’ve spent, and the sticker shock sets in. The price is often justified, of course; all that effort and creativity deserves its payment, and I won’t put them down too much if they want to get reimbursed for their time. (Unless they’re charging like a bleedin’ madman.) But who says you always have to pay top dollar to dress fantastic? Take a look at UK Couture. Stylish clothes that don’t shoot your budget in the foot; what more do you want? As proof: This outfit is called Phixion, which I have no idea what that means. Does it matter? It just looks good! Black shirt, black pants (that actually cover my belly button!), and this lovely white jacket that I need to remember for other outfits in the future; and all for less than L$300, as I recall. For a smashing day look, I teamed it with the Nif Nif gloves from LeeZu Baxter. They’re actually longer than you see here; the sleeves of the jacket cover them up, of course.

In a recent ruling, the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a decision that medical marijuana patients could be considered “illegal drug users” even though they may be medical “patients” in their respective state. Gun owners are up in arms in these medical marijuana states and consider the decision discrimination at best, and outright violation of the 2nd Amendment under the U.S. Constitution, at worst.
But in Oregon, where every medical marijuana patient must register with the states Oregon Medical Marijuana Program (OMMP), there is no way for gun stores to check the OMMP system to see if a potential purchaser is a registered medical marijuana patient.
The reason is simple. The OMMP program is considered private medical information in Oregon and is controlled by the Oregon Department of Health, and gun store owners have no reason to know this sensitive, personal information. Under the OMMP program, outside access to the database is strictly limited to Law Enforcement and only when necessary.
A firearms purchaser must fill out a Firearms Transaction Record that is provided the U.S. Department of Justice. The form asks customers if they are “an unlawful user of, or addicted to, marijuana or any depressant, stimulant, narcotic drug, or any other controlled substance.” A gun store owner in Salem, Todd Koonce, told the Statesman Journal, “It wouldn’t come up in a gun sale, unless they admit to being a medical marijuana user…I think people are smarter than to tell something like that.”
Doug Raaf, who runs Gun Crafters Firearms & More, told the Statesman Journal, “They’re making us the police…I think it’s confusing.”

I was trying to find online images of Van Gogh’s small sketchbooks (the supposed “moleskines”) when I found the images below. The notebook pictured did not belong to Van Gogh, but was rather a sort of logbook kept at a cafe in Arles that Van Gogh visited. The notebook has been cited as evidence for the authenticity of a portfolio of Van Gogh drawings that were discovered a year or two ago (the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam claim the drawings are just imitations of his style). The focus of the story is mainly on the drawings but I’d love to get a better look at that notebook! It definitely looks like the sort of notebook the Moleskine brand was modeled after, pocket sized, with squared pages.

– Speaker Paul Ryan said he is acutely aware that Republicans will be attacked over the health care bill that his chamber passed a few weeks ago, but the Wisconsin Republican felt that inaction was not an option.
“I’ll accept that we will get hit for this,” Ryan said Wednesday at an Axios’ News Shapers event. “But we’re in leadership. We don’t have a choice. … What are we supposed to do, just sit back and let this thing collapse?”
The speaker has consistently made the case that the 2010 health care law is collapsing and it’s incumbent upon Republicans to fulfill their campaign promise to repeal and replace it.
While he understands the GOP will be attacked over their bill, the American Health Care Act, he feels Republicans will ultimately be rewarded in the 2018 midterm election for fulfilling their campaign promises.
“I think they’re excellent because we’re in the midst of keeping our promises,” Ryan said when asked about the chances the GOP will keep control of the House.
“What I tell our members is if we don’t do our jobs or keep our word, why would people support us?” he added.
While the Senate still has to take up the health care bill and the two chambers will ultimately have to reconcile their differences on that, the House has already begun work on the next big piece of the GOP agenda: rewriting the tax code.
Ryan said Republicans agree on 80 percent of the policies that should go into a tax overhaul but are still debating the other 20 percent, including the controversial border adjustment tax that is part of the House plan.
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin in recent days has criticized the proposal, but Ryan is still advocating for it.
“I agree with Steve Mnuchin that full immediate border adjustment would be too disruptive,” Ryan said. “No one is actually advocating for that.”
Ryan said without the border adjustment tax, Republicans would have to end many more domestic tax breaks to help pay for planned tax rate cuts.
“You’ll have to do more base broadening within the domestic economy than not if you don’t do a border adjustment,” he said.
Republicans will have time to figure out their preferred approach. Ryan said he expects work on a tax overhaul “is going to be a year long effort,” reiterating the goal is to have legislation signed into law by the end of the calendar year.
In a more lighthearted part of the event, Ryan talked about how he discovered gifs when someone sent him one three weeks ago, which happens to be the week that the House passed the health care bill.
“These things are awesome,” he said. “I send gifs to people who really don’t expect it from me.”
Ryan cited gifs featuring Britney Spears and Caption Obvious, saying, “These things are pretty damn funny.” | positive |
A family business is a difficult thing — that’s even more so when the family in question is the Etobicoke Fords.
Deco Labels and Tags, the firm that made the Fords their considerable fortune, was thrust into the spotlight again Wednesday after reports emerged that Mayor Rob Ford and Councillor Doug Ford had used their influence at city hall to arrange meetings for a key Deco business partner.
Mayoral challengers rushed to decry the news Wednesday, while Doug Ford called it “absolute bull—-.” But all the while, lurking in the background, was Deco itself.
Doug, despite what you have seen, was a polished executive, well-dressed, articulate, an excellent salesman
For all the focus on the Fords over the past four years, the inner workings of the company that made them rich have remained relatively obscure.
On Wednesday, four former Deco employees filled in some of that gap. In interviews with the
National Post, all four, including a former senior executive, painted variations on a similar theme.
Deco, they said, was well run under Doug Ford. But after the 2010 election, when he stepped away from day-to-day management, it descended into something between managerial gridlock and absolute chaos under the leadership of Randy Ford, Doug and Rob’s brother.
“Doug, believe it or not, despite what you have seen, was a polished executive, well-dressed, articulate, an excellent salesman,” said Leonard Rudner, a former Deco vice president. Randy Ford on the other hand was “not capable,” Mr. Rudner said. “He’s a good manufacturing executive but nothing else.”
A call to Randy Ford at Deco’s headquarters was not returned Wednesday.
The insider view into Deco emerged after the Globe and Mail published internal city emails showing both the Ford brothers had pushed city bureaucrats to meet with representatives of RR Donnelley, one of the largest printing companies in the world, in 2011. Around that same time, according to Mr. Rudner, Donnelley executives had been considering a lucrative deal to market and sell Deco labels in Canada.
Calls and emails to RR Donnelley requesting comment Wednesday were not returned.
On her way into a debate in Etobicoke Wednesday night, Olivia Chow slammed the revelations. “This is a clear pattern of [Mayor Ford] misusing his public office to help out his business, “she said. “That’s unacceptable, inappropriate and not ethical.”
Doug Ford meanwhile, called the allegations a “witch hunt,” adding “Rob and I are the most honest people in the world when it comes to taxpayer money.”
As for Mr. Rudner, he said Wednesday he only came forward after a tape of Mayor Ford making anti-semitic and other racist remarks was published earlier this spring. “I can’t tolerate the mayor of an important city like Toronto making those comments,” he said.
In an interview with National Post, Mr. Rudner expanded on the time he spent at Deco. A five-decade veteran of the label business, Mr. Rudner joined Deco in May 2010 as vice president of sales and marketing. At the time, Rob Ford had “very little” involvement with the company, Mr. Rudner said. “Doug was president, I reported to him. Randy ran manufacturing.”
After the election, though, things at the company changed, and not in a good way. “Once Doug got into politics and withdrew, there was a dramatic transformation in terms of leadership,” Mr. Rudner said.
Other former employees backed up that view.
Mr. Rudner hired one employee, who asked that his name not be used, to help diversify Deco’s business. After Mr. Rudner left, the man said, it became quickly clear the company had no idea what to do with him. “Randy really didn’t understand the business well enough to know,” the man said.
The same man said he had to fight the company to get a severance cheque after he was let go. When it did arrive “it actually came in an envelope with Randy’s footprint on it,” he said.
A third former employee, who also asked to remain anonymous, called Deco “a nightmare” under Randy Ford. A fourth, Jens Lepa, was more generous. “Let’s just say it wasn’t as smooth as other companies I’ve worked for,” Mr. Lepa said. “Doug Ford is a great manager,” he added. “Randy is not on that level.”
Mr. Rudner believes there’s “no doubt” business at Deco has suffered since 2010. “I don’t think it’s in danger of going under,” he said. “But the growth they could have experienced hasn’t happened because of poor leadership.”
If the business is suffering, it might explain why the Ford brothers pushed the RR Donnelley meetings so hard at city hall. (Doug Ford again rejected the idea the Fords did anything improper.)
As for Mr. Rudner, he said he barely recognizes the Doug Ford he sees on TV as his old, competent boss.
“He’s so involved with running the city and defending his brother and that’s the shame of it,” he said. “I think he’s just pissed his career down the toilet.”

Manama, Bahrain (CNN) -- U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called on Bahrain on Saturday to allow its people to demonstrate peacefully as opposition members reported the death of a fifth protester this week.
Essa Radhi Al Radi was killed Tuesday when Bahraini security forces cleared protesters from the Pearl Roundabout in the capital, Manama, said Khalil Al Marzook, a leading member of the opposition Wefaq party.
Al Radi's family received a phone call Saturday from a hospital telling them he had died but giving few other details, Al Marzook said.
Al Radi was the fifth protester who died this week after a crackdown by security forces, Al Marzook said. One was killed Tuesday and the other three were killed Wednesday, he said.
Human rights group Amnesty International reported eight people were killed Wednesday when security forces forcibly removed demonstrators at the roundabout. It said at least one of the dead was a member of the security forces, but that the majority of the dead were protesters.
The discrepancy in death tolls could not immediately be explained.
Thousands of people have been demonstrating in Bahrain since last month, part of a wave of unrest that has spread through North Africa and the Middle East. Many of them congregated at the roundabout and were there until as recently as this week, when security forces cleared the area and the government demolished the landmark monument at the center of the traffic circle.
Clinton said she had spoken about Bahrain on Saturday with the foreign minister of the United Arab Emirates and prime minister of Qatar, on the sidelines of a meeting in Paris about Libya.
"Our goal is a credible political process that can address the legitimate aspirations of all the people of Bahrain, starting with the crown prince's dialogue, which all parties should join," Clinton said. "That process should unfold in a peaceful, positive atmosphere that protects the freedom of peaceful assembly while ensuring that students can go to school, businesses can operate, and people can undertake their normal daily activities."
The United Arab Emirates and Qatar, like Bahrain, are members of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council. At Bahrain's request, military forces from the council are in Bahrain to help control the anti-government demonstrations.
Clinton said Bahrain has a right to invite those forces into its country, but she urged caution.
"We have made clear that security alone cannot resolve the challenges facing Bahrain," Clinton said. "Violence is not and cannot be the answer. A political process is. We have raised our concerns about the current measures directly with Bahraini officials and will continue to do so."
The U.S. State Department and Amnesty International expressed concern Friday about the arrest in Bahrain of several prominent opposition figures. Amnesty said they were arrested in armed raids and that authorities produced no arrest warrants.
Also Friday, two doctors from Salmaniya Hospital said security forces were beating patients and had removed "six to 10 patients," and some medical records, from the facility.
U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay expressed concern at reports that security forces were targeting hospitals. She said her office had been receiving "desperate calls" regarding, among other things, security forces taking over hospitals and medical centers.
Bahrain's government Friday announced it was shortening a nightly curfew that had been declared for a central part of Manama in order to ease the movement of citizens there.
The curfew, which had been from 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. each night, will now stretch from 8 p.m. to 4 a.m., the state-run Bahrain News Agency reported.
At the same time, the country's defense force imposed a marine curfew, which bans any sea activity, between 5 p.m. and 6 a.m. each night until further notice, the news agency reported.

MONTREAL – As five days of testimony came to a close, disgraced city of Montreal engineer Gilles Surprenant wanted to apologize to the population at large.
He "bitterly regrets" his role in a scheme that fleeced taxpayers out of untold millions of dollars, he told the Charbonneau Commission -- a role that earned him more than $730,000 in kickbacks from a dozen contractors.
But just how repentant he was became a matter of intense debate Thursday as a lawyer for the city of Montreal took over the cross-examination of Surprenant, and suggested he was motivated by one thing alone: greed.
Surprenant — aka Mr. TPS (Taxe Pour Surprenant) — has painted himself as a reluctant participant in a scheme designed by and for a dozen contractors who hijacked the system of awarding public works contracts, and in the process raised the costs of infrastructure work in Montreal by 30 per cent over the last decade.
But Martin St-Jean, the lawyer for Surprenant's much-maligned former employer, suggested Surprenant knew exactly what he was doing when he allegedly accepted a first envelope full of cash in 1988 from Frank Catania.
St-Jean asked Surprenant whether he knew what was coming, when Catania called him to his office.
"I imagined it would be to get something," Surprenant replied.
"You knew what you were getting into and went voluntarily?" asked St-Jean.
"Yes."
So the decision to accept the money wasn't one made hastily in a matter of seconds, St-Jean suggested, but rather a well-thought-out response to an attractive offer.
St-Jean then asked him whether he had money problems back then. No.
Did he have problems with his health, drugs, gambling? St-Jean continued.
No. No. No.
"So (it was) for pure avarice to have more, to fill your pockets with taxpayers' money."
"I took the money. I went to meet the contractor, he gave me an envelope and I took it. It was a big error in judgment."
The Charbonneau Commission has heard that that fateful meeting was the first of many over a 20-year period, in which Surprenant accepted amounts of between $1,000 and $22,000, for artificially inflating the city's estimates for upcoming contracts by 30 per cent to 35 per cent, and turning a blind eye to the collusion of entrepreneurs who took turns "winning" the dozens of lucrative contracts that resulted.
In the first rigged Catania contract, for example, the original estimate for work to be done on a sewer on Belvedere Circle in Westmount was $250,000.
Catania suggested Surprenant go back and "review" the estimate, so Surprenant boosted it to $420,000, then accepted Catania's bid for almost $500,000 to do the work. Surprenant received $4,000 cash for his troubles.
But St-Jean also took issue with Surprenant constantly using "we" ("on" in French) to explain what was happening at city hall. Surprenant has been vague and evasive when asked how he knew others were on the take.
City employees Luc Leclerc, François Thériault and Michel Paquette, and Surprenant's direct superiors — Robert Marcil and Yves Themens — were aware of the collusion and may have accepted cash or gifts for their participation in the scheme, Surprenant told the commissioners. But no one ever told him as much, and he never told anyone about the bribes he was receiving. He certainly didn't pin up photos of himself playing golf with reputed mob boss Vito Rizzuto, he said. | positive |
Swimming to work
Abdul Malik has been swimming to work for 14 years in order to get to work on time & to be able to teach his students. After hearing his story a doctor from England has donated him a fibreglass boat..
By Steve Whyley / 21 March 2017

45 year old Abdul Malik had spent the last 14 years swimming to work.
Malik says “Teaching is my life and these children depend on me so if swimming each day is the price I have to pay then so be it.”
A mental health doctor from England, named Dr Alam, heard of Malik's remarkable story and has donated him a fibreglass boat.
"On learning about his plight, I decided that he should not be swimming any more to reach his school.”
Dr. Alam said that "I'm happy I could do something to alleviate the woes of a man in need."
Malik lives in a poor area of India, the Padinjatumuri village of Mallapuram district. Cars are a luxury and something a teacher could never afford. Walking to work is not possible so therefore the only other feasible option for Malik was to take a bus. However, Malik felt that by taking a bus he ran the risk of being late. There's no guarantee he'd be able to get on the bus, such is the congestion, and even if he was able to it'd take him a further two hours from leaving his house to arriving at work. So, unbelievably, Malik felt he had little option but to swim, as swimming was the only way he could guarantee to get to work on time - which for him, was all that matters.
“There are no bridges to cross this river and the only other route to the school is a two-hour long trek via the bus which is always running late. Therefore, swimming happens to be the only choice and for me to teach my students then this is what I have to do.” says Malik.
Every morning Malik put together a spare pair of clothes into a plastic bag that he then carried over his head. He wrapped a rubber tube around him and then jumps into the dirty Kadalundi river and navigates his way to work. He had been doing this for the past 14 years.
“He is very punctual. In fact much more than those who use other modes of transport. His dedication to his work is superb,” says Headmaster of AMLPS School, K M Mohammed Basheer.
“We love this teacher,” says a student at the school where he teaches.
Every day Malik risked his own health by wading through the Kadalundi river. When most people arrive to work the first thing they do is go and grab a coffee. The first thing Abdul Malik did was get himself dry and changed into a new set of clothes.
Unsurprisingly he's the most popular teacher at school, and the most punctual. Even when monsoon season hit, and currents become even more dangerous, Malik was still the first person through the door.
People may ask why he did it?
“We wait for him to arrive each day, he’s such a great teacher. We depend on him to get a good education.” says one of his students.
And for Malik, the fact students depended on him was a reason to get up every morning and cross that river.
Malik wasn't just teaching his students about maths and science, he, like so many of the best teachers, was inspiring them to be better than what they are.
Back in 2014 Malik's story was shared widely on social media and Dr Alam, a mental health doctor from the UK felt compelled to help Malik.
"On learning about his plight, I decided that he should not be swimming any more to reach his school.”
The fibreglass boat was bought by Dr. Alam and delivered to Mr. Malik at Perumbalam in Anakkayam panchayat. Malik now operates the boat with the help of a pulley and rope tied to the anchorage on both shores of the river.
“This will give him advantage to operate the boat from both shores,” said Dr. Alam.
Initially the pulley and rope system proved problematic so Khajah Shihabuddin, lecturer at Government Polytechnic College, Tirurangadi, offered his class (and his own) technical support to fix the system.
Malik is still the first to arrive at school but he now does so needing only one set of clothes. | positive |
“What is the best double edge safety razor?” I get the question all the time. There’s not an easy answer–and lately the market is growing, changing and offering more choices than ever before. This is a major update to a previous set of articles on Sharpologist!
Multi-blade, pivoted cartridge razors that come from a few large multi-national companies are manufactured to a narrow set of specifications. Double-edge (DE) razors (and blades!) have a number of options to choose from. Lets look at some of the variables and see what stands out.
I’m listing the most popular razors that many people say may be “best” double edge razor in a particular category, and this article is especially aimed at the newcomer to this type of shaving. These are not the only products of course. If you know of a good DE razor not listed here be sure to mention it in a comment! All the prices in this article are in U.S. dollars and approximate. Amazon and West Coast Shaving links are affiliate.
Double Edge Razor Price Range
Probably the most obvious variable is going to be price–there’s no sense looking for something you can’t afford. I have seen new DE razor prices range from $1 to well over $400. Prices for many popular double edge razors had generally been dropping over the past few years. But there has been a recent “reset.” The low end of the market is being flooded with razors from the Pakistan and China. Many of these razors have dubious quality control. And some brands simply purchase these razors, add their own logo and resell them at a substantial mark-up.
On the other hand, the high end of the market is expanding with a number of new, artisan-made razors. But I’m not sure the supply matches the demand.
There are some acceptable inexpensive DE razors. They probably will not become heirlooms for the grand kids but they should get you started with if you are on a budget. The under $20 range offers some reasonable products, including the all plastic Dorco PL602 (here is a review) and Wilkinson Sword, the mostly-plastic Feather Popular , and the all (light) metal Weishi . Many of the lower-cost Maggard razors are also well-regarded.
I think the $20-$30 (and even higher) range is a bit of a wonky market right now. There are a lot of cheap, Pakastani- or Chinese-made razors being purchased by those trying to take advantage of the market and marking the price-point way up. It’s not true of every razor, mind you, but this range is seeing more than its share of sketchy marketers, especially on Amazon.
The $30-$60 price range is where you will start seeing the more popular, better-made razors (though as just mentioned there are some over-priced examples too). Probably the most recognized models in this range are the Edwin Jagger (EJ), Merkur, Muhle, and Parker razors. Some of the up-and-coming names that are getting more well-known for this price range include Fatip, Standard, RazoRock, Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements, and iKon.
This is the range where you will find the enormously popular Merkur Heavy Duty (AKA “HD,” “Heavy Classic,” or 34C) and Edwin Jagger DE89 series (differing only in the type of handle offered: the “lbl” handle variant appears to be the most popular but there are a wide variety of handle styles). These razors remain popular even with all the changes in the market over the past couple of years.
Above this price point is where you will find razors that are popular for reasons other than (or in addition to) performance. Different head styles (such as “slant” razors as discussed below), special features (including adjustable razors), and razors designed specifically for travel situations are examples of this category.
At the high end of the range ($100+, often $200+) you will find the “premium” razors. Not too many years ago the Feather AS-D2 All Stainless Steel razor was considered the high-end double edge razor. Now it’s practically “bargain basement” (for its class): the past couple of years have seen an explosion of artisan-made, luxury-priced razors with premium materials (like stainless steel or titanium) and special handle designs. Some of the names often associated with excellent premium-priced razors include (in no particular order) Wolfman, Timeless, Charcoal Goods, Raw Shaving, Blackland, Karve, and Above The Tie. RazoRock is producing a stainless steel razor (the “Game Changer”) at a break-through price point.
New vs. Used vs. Vintage
The next factor for finding the “best” double edge razor is whether it is new, used, or vintage. A new razor is just that: in production, for sale, and not previously used. A used razor is one that is currently in production but has been used before. A vintage razor is one that is out of production (both used and NOS–“new old stock”).
The previous section described popular new razors. You can get used versions of many of these same razors for probably around 75% of their new price–they generally hold their value pretty well. Resale prices for some artisan-made, premium razors can be insanely high–often multiples of the razor’s original price. Vintage prices can be “all over the road” depending on condition and the seller’s knowledge (or lack of knowledge).
There are a number of sources for used or vintage razors, including local antique stores and flea markets (though availability at these places has dropped in recent years), internet auction sites, and buy/sell/trade (B/S/T) sections of the internet shaving forums. Maybe even a forgotten razor in an older relative’s bathroom? Local stores have the advantage of having something you can see and feel–you are more likely to know to what you are getting.
Internet auction sites can be useful if you know what you’re doing and are looking for something very specific…though there is always the danger of seller shenanigans. The B/S/T areas on shaving forums are probably the place most likely to get a decent razor for a fair price. These areas sometimes have “PIF” offers as well: a user wanting to “Pay It Forward ” by offering a razor at little or no cost to a new shaver, a member of the armed forces, or for some other reason.
Two excellent “vintage” DE razors include various versions of the Gillette SuperSpeed, and the Schick Krona–see How To Buy A Vintage Razor From Ebay for more information on what to look for when buying a vintage razor.
Double Edge Razor Construction: Open Comb vs. Safety Bar
Double edge razors have heads that can be divided into two general groups: Open Comb and Safety Bar. Open Comb’s have obvious “teeth” that help guide heavy stubble and shaving cream into channels. Safety Bars have a solid (or scalloped) bar that provides some additional protection to the skin from the blade’s edge.
Generally, Open Comb razors will not be as gentle on the skin as safety bar razors (the Muhle R41 notoriously so!), though there are exceptions. Most older vintage razors will have an Open Comb. A few brands try to distinguish themselves in the market by offering razors with “hybrid” heads where, for example, one side of the razor’s head has an open comb and the other side has a safety bar
Double Edge Razor Construction: Three Piece vs. Two Piece vs. One Piece (“Twist To Open”)
DE razors are typically constructed in one of three ways. Three piece are the classic” (and easiest to manufacture) type, consisting of a handle, a base plate, and a head or cap. An advantage of a three piece design is that you can sometimes “mix and match” the three pieces from different manufacturers, creating entirely new razors (you’ll sometimes see this referred to as a “frankenrazor” after Frankenstein’s monster). Two piece have the base plate permanently mounted to the handle. A one piece “twist to open” (TTO) razor is the type most common just before the ascent of modern cartridge razors: the Gillette SuperSpeed is the classic TTO.
Set Gap vs. Adjustable
The vast majority of razors have a set gap size, the distance between the razor blade’s edge and the razor’s skin safety bar: the amount of the gap distance is determined by the manufacturer for a particular model of razor. Generally speaking, Open Comb razors expose more of the blade to the skin, making for a more “aggressive” shave. But even razors with a safety bar can be aggressive: it’s all about the amount of blade exposed to the skin.
However “adjustable” razors can change the gap to make them more gentle or more aggressive. There used to be few fully adjustable razors currently made, primarily from Parker and Merkur, but others (such as the Rex Ambassador) have recently entered the market. There are also some vintage adjustable razors.
A variation of the adjustable razor design is the use of multiple base plates. The Rockwell 6S was the first modern double edge razor to popularize this feature. These razors are not “adjustable” in the normal, continuously-adjustable sense, but rather they offer different base plates: each plate has a different amount of blade exposure set. Other manufacturers are picking up on this theme (including premium razors artisans like Karve), offering different base plate options with some razors.
If you want to learn more about adjustable double edge razors read “Is The Adjustable Safety Razor Finally Catching On?”
“Slant” Razors
What is a slant razor? Think of it like a mini-guillotine for stubble. Held at an asymmetrical blade exposure by design, the slant is meant to offer a more efficient cutting angle for a DE blade which can give a closer shave more quickly. The design has been around for at least 70 years, but as the DE razor lost popularity beginning in the 1970’s, most slants also vanished from the market. This niche’ was beginning to re-assert itself a couple years ago, but the demand for them apparently did not justify continued artisan interest and there are fewer options available today.
Criteria For The Best Double Edge Razor
Here are what I consider the “best” double edge razors in several different categories. This is based on:
My own experience and the experience of other users as researched on various internet forums and blogs; Reputation of the manufacturer and the general quality control of the razor’s production; Length of time on the market; Razor’s general availability, stability of design, and popularity; Razor’s over-all value (quality vs. price).
Remember the old adage, “Your Mileage May Vary!” I was not paid by any manufacturer for these recommendations.

A Further Caution To The Beginner: Double Edge Blades
No discussion about the best double edge razor would be complete without mentioning blades. Many beginners think “a blade is a blade” and while DE blades may all look similar there can actually be fairly significant differences in the way a blade is made. Metallurgy (the metal or combination of metals used to make the blade), coatings, and grinding specifications (the blade’s “sharpness”) can all play a part in the production process.
So take the time to try a number of different blade brands to find the one(s) that work best for the razor you’re using (your skin, the mineral content of the water you’re using, and the shave lather you’re using play parts too). Even if you are already using a DE razor you may need to do some additional blade experimentation if you buy another DE.
Some shaving vendors sell “sample packs” or “blade samplers ” to make the process easier: you get a few blades of many different types. After you decide which one(s) work best you can then buy your favorites in bulk, saving a ton of money!
A Final Note
Shaving with a DE razor — even the best double edge razor — is not quite like shaving with a modern pivoted cartridge razor: you can’t just take mindless swipes at your face and expect a good shave. You have to learn a new skill set (and possibly unlearn some bad habits) to use a DE razor properly. It’s not a terribly difficult skill to pick up but there is a learning curve. And like learning to ride a bike or play a musical instrument some will pick it up more quickly than others. Luckily, I have a few videos to help you out!

PRAGUE - Canada may have rolled through the preliminary round at the world hockey championship, but there are plenty of reasons for caution as a quarter-final against Belarus looms.
Belarus clinched fourth place in Group B with a 3-2 win over Norway on Tuesday, setting up a playoff matchup Thursday with Canada. The Canadians finished first in Group A, capping their perfect run through the preliminary round with a 10-1 rout of Austria.
But the Belarusians are hardly pushovers. They won four times in regulation in the preliminary round, including a convincing 5-2 victory over the United States, and two of their three losses came in overtime.
"We know we're going to be challenged by a very good Belarusian team," coach Todd McLellan said. "They have one line that's very dynamic, that can score goals. They're a hard team to play against. We've been able to watch some games and scout them a little bit."
That dynamic line is led by Alexei Kalyuzhny, who put up five goals and five assists in seven games and has proven himself to be one of the most dangerous forwards at the tournament.
Unlike Canadian teams at the world championships, which are thrown together at the end of the NHL season, the Belarusians have spent more time playing as a cohesive unit. Add in the fact that Canada has been ousted in the quarter-final of the last two tournaments, and you have the recipe for a potential upset.
"Guys understand that the intensity is going to shift now," Canadian forward Jason Spezza said. "It's always hard to knock a team out. Belarus is a structured team. They've played together during the season so they're going to pose different problems for us than anything we've seen."
Canada will have a rested Sidney Crosby in the lineup against Belarus. The team captain didn't play Tuesday as Canada had already wrappped up top spot in Group A.
"Sid has played a lot of hockey this year," McLellan said. "We think he'll be better suited come Thursday with the rest."
Against Austria, Matt Duchene and Spezza each had two goals and two assists. Eight different Canadians scored while firing 46 shots at Austrian netminder Bernhard Starkbaum, while goaltender Mike Smith turned aside 14 shots for Canada.
It's the first time the Canadians have amassed a perfect record heading into the elimination round since 2008, when they earned a silver medal.
Before the tournament began, Canada overcame an early 2-1 deficit to defeat Austria 4-2 in an exhibition match in Vienna on April 29.
"We wanted to use this game as a measuring bar for where we've come in two and a half weeks," said coach McLellan after Tuesday's more definitive victory. "We've come a long way as a group, as a team. We should be prepared, now, for the elimination round."
Tyson Barrie, Taylor Hall, Aaron Ekblad, Jordan Eberle, Brayden Schenn and Nathan MacKinnon also scored for Canada.
Dominique Heinrich had the lone goal for the Austrians, a long shot from the right wing at 2:44 of the third.
In Crosby's absence, defenceman Dan Hamhuis wore the C.
"It's an honour for sure," said Hamhuis. "I've got some big shoes to fill for sure for Sid."
Meantime, Kalyuzhny, Dmitri Korobov and Andrei Kostitsyn all scored power-play goals to help Belarus reach the quarter-finals for the second straight year.
"We were looking good at 3-0 but Norway are a good team and they came back hard," Belarus forward Andrei Stepanov said. "It was hard at the end."
The United States can clinch the top spot of Group B with a victory over Slovakia. If that happens, the young American team would face Switzerland in the quarter-finals.
Finland and defending champion Russia trail the Americans by one point will meet in another game later Tuesday. | positive |

They made him plant a tree. Hahahahaha. I loved that time. Unfortunately, due to domestic responsibilities, he wasn’t able to go this year. I wasn’t feeling the visit too, so I packed a good deal of reading with me. I think I read the entire day. I felt a bit bad for not participating, but I wasn’t in the mood to be all environmental. I did love the food though. I just love the books I brought with me. I highly recommend The Perks of Being A Wallflower. Review to follow. :) And here are the things I experienced in Batangas this year. I love the fact that they still use the gas light even if the fluorescent light is already installed. I absolutely loooooove this delicacy! I think I had an entire plateful of this one. That should explain the sudden need to just completely and totally workout and get healthy. Hahahaha. Yes, that’s where my aunt and uncle in Batangas cook. I’ve often wondered if they ever get tired of it. I mean, come on, it’s hard to keep the flames up, but then again, they have a good supply of wood to keep the fire burning. Hahahaha. Just had to say that. :) Of course, the flowers are not forgotten. For Lolo, Lola and Tito Froilan. It was a good quick getaway. Fantastic food, fantastic read, and just the right amount of provincial heat. I’m glad to be back in the city though. :) Spread the love: Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window) Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window) Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Like this: Like Loading...

John Corcoran (; born in 1937) is an American author and the founder of the John Corcoran foundation. He is severely dyslexic and read at a second-grade level until the age of 48. [1] Despite this, he graduated from high school and college, and worked as a high school teacher and real estate developer without being discovered.[2][3]
Early life [ edit ]
Corcoran was raised in Santa Fe, New Mexico where his literacy stalled after second grade. He was one of six siblings, and his parents were too overwhelmed to notice the deficit. His teachers at school assigned him to the "dumb row" but were distracted by his disciplinary problems and soon forgot about his reading difficulties.[4]
After graduating high school by cheating, he attended two junior colleges and then University of Texas at El Paso (then called Texas Western). Thanks to an athletic scholarship and aggressive, continual cheating, he was able to graduate in 1961 with a bachelor's degree in Education and Business administration.[4]
He became a high school social studies teacher. On his personal website, Corcoran describes some of the tricks he used to manage this.
"The students wrote their names on a seating chart and then pronounced them for me. To avoid reading the list, I asked them the next day to call out their names, claiming I wanted them to get to know one another."
He switched schools but continued as a teacher for 17 years[5] before becoming a real estate developer in 1977. He was successful for ten years, until his business faltered.[6] After seeing Barbara Bush talk about literacy on television, he resolved to finally learn how to read.[3] After receiving tutoring from a volunteer tutor in a literacy program, he became literate at a 6th grade level.[3]
Life after literacy [ edit ]
Since learning to read, he has written two books. He has since become a spokesman for literacy programs, as well as running his own foundation to help people learn to read.[7] He created the John Corcoran Foundation, which trains tutors and helps students learn to read.[8] He has appeared in the international media, but mostly his coverage is from American media. His appearances include an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show, National Public Radio's Eye on Books, and interviews in USA Today and other publications.[9][10][11]

Best-selling conservative author Ann Coulter, who has used her nine books to launch vicious attacks on Democrats, is turning her guns on Republicans in a new book out Monday, calling Florida Sen. Marco Rubio a hypocrite, urging donors freeze contributions to the GOP, and demanding that only governors or senators run for the party’s presidential nomination.
Her point in “ Never Trust a Liberal Over 3 -- Especially a Republican” is to shake the party out of its doldrums in time for the 2014 and 2016 elections.
“Elections matter. We’re trying to make the country a better place. But if our candidates don’t win, we can’t do that,” she writes. “This isn’t a game. We aren’t picking basketball brackets. Bad things happen when Republicans lose elections and Democrats have veto-proof majorities,” she adds in the book provided in advance to Secrets.
While she is most noted for skewering liberals in her weekly columns and nine previous New York Times best sellers, “Never Trust” puts her on a path for a head-on collision with the establishment Republican Party and even a favored 2016 presidential candidate as she urges the GOP to purge itself of failed tactics, lazy consultants, and gripless potential candidates.
Take Rubio. He is one of the party’s leading 2016 candidates, but Coulter dresses him down for promising effective immigration reform while campaigning for the Senate but spitting out a more liberal alternative once elected.
She quotes him slamming amnesty for illegal immigrants as a Senate candidate in 2010. “And then he got to Washington and his big legislative initiative was a path to citizenship for illegal aliens! Yes, Rubio’s plan to solve the problem of illegal immigration from Mexico is to bring them all here,” she scolds.
The fashionable pundit pummels the party for wooing untested politicians for president. “Why are any congressmen or businessmen showing up in our presidential primaries? They are never going to get the nomination,” she says.
The solution is a governor, just like four of the last six presidents. “I don’t care if it makes you feel good, conservatives: Do not ever, ever considering running a presidential candidate who has not been a senator or preferably a governor. No, not even our beloved Ben Carson. What are we concentrating on? That’s right: winning.”
Ditto for House and Senate seats. “Stop being stupid,” she urges the party, singling out failed candidates like former Rep. Todd Akin, who lost a recent Missouri Senate bid when he talked about “legitimate rape.”
And to grab that gold ring, she demands that musty political consultants be swept out of the GOP. She blames them for losing four Senate seats the Republicans thought they should have won in 2010 and 2012.
“Republicans were screwed by campaign consultants fleecing deep-pocketed candidates rather than doing the work of electing Republicans,” she says. “Republicans should refuse to give money to the party until we have the names of these people [failed consultants] and a blood oath that they will never be hired again.”
The book is a collection of her columns introduced with new political analysis. Of course, she saves some space to whack Democrats, like Hillary Clinton. She believes that with President Obama off the ticket, it will be easier for a Republican to win -- and beat Clinton, the Democratic front-runner by miles.
“Without Obama on the ticket, it won’t be magic again. The only people fainting at Hillary’s speeches will be chubby gals from NOW,” writes Coulter.
With her 10th book, Coulter has returned to her original publisher, Regnery Publishing Inc., which has already mapped out one of their trademark coast-to-coast book and media tours starting Monday with an appearance on Sean Hannity’s shows. She will do CNN’s Piers Morgan and Crossfire shows and has a book party October 22 hosted by the DailyCaller.com. She will also be on the hot new site Reddit AMA, or “Ask Me Anything,” on Oct. 21.

Noh Omar, who is the newly-appointed minister in charge of housing, urban wellbeing and local government, made the comments today. — Picture by Saw Siow Feng
PUTRAJAYA, July 1 — Pakatan Harapan leaders have been crying conspiracy over Penang Chief Minister Lim Guan Eng’s corruption prosecution because they believe they are “God” and above the law, Umno’s Tan Sri Noh Omar said.
The newly-appointed minister in charge of housing, urban wellbeing and local government also asked why the opposition did not respond the same way when former Selangor mentri besar Dr Mohamad Khir Toyo was nabbed for corruption several years ago.
“When the time an Umno man was arrested, how come the question of selective prosecution did not arise?” he asked in a recent interview.
“This is the opposition,” Noh said. “The opposition think that they are God. ‘Oh you can’t touch us’. They are untouchable like God. They think they are all good.”
“When it comes to arresting people, for them, it’s OK if it’s Umno or BN (Barisan Nasional) but when it comes to them, they are untouchable. That is the opposition,” he continued.
The Selangor Umno lawmaker also expressed no surprise that Lim would be staying on as Penang chief minister pending the outcome of his trial, even though the opposition had pushed for Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to go on leave during investigations on state investment firm 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB).
“They speak out when it happens to someone else but when kena ‘batang hidung sendiri’ (backfires on them), they will not do it.
“I believe that Guan Eng will not resign or take a leave of absence. In fact, he will continue to be CM because he thinks he is right,” Noh said.
“I don’t want to dare Guan Eng to resign because I know he will continue. That’s his attitude. He doesn’t practise what he preaches,” he added.
According to the Tanjung Karang MP, this was not Umno’s way.
He claimed the BN lynchpin party would immediately suspend or drop leaders who are charged in court.
In the opposition, however, Noh said leaders facing court action not only get to stay on in the party but also are even allowed to hold on to leadership posts.
“Until they are charged, they will never give up their posts. They are not like Umno at all. We suspend immediately even if the person is brought to court, be [it] a division leader, minister or mentri besar,” he said.
Parti Cinta Malaysia (PCM) vice president Datuk Huan Cheng Guan said earlier today that former Selangor chief ministers from BN — the late Datuk Seri Harun Idris and Tan Sri Muhammad Taib, who is now with PKR — had stepped down after they were charged in court, while ex-Selangor mentri besar Dr Khir Toyo had similarly resigned as state opposition leader when he was charged with corruption in 2010.
Lim, who is DAP secretary-general, claimed trial yesterday to two corruption charges ― one under Section 23 of the MACC Act and another under Section 165 of the Penal Code ― over his approval of an application from Magnificent Emblem to convert a piece of land from agricultural to residential use, as well as over his purchase of a house from the firm’s director, Phang Li Koon, for RM2.8 million, which was below the property’s market value of RM4.27 million.
After posting bail for RM1 million, the top DAP leader held a press conference to declare his innocence, also blaming politics and BN for what he claimed was a campaign to smear his and the state administration’s name. | positive |

The Republican Liberty Caucus (RLC), which was founded in 1991, has long promoted libertarian ideals within the GOP. In both 2008 and 2012, the group endorsed Ron Paul for president and has supported liberty Republicans such as Congressmen Justin Amash (R-Mich.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.).
The RLC endorsed Ted Cruz for U.S. Senate in 2012, just as they had Rand Paul in 2010. Both Ron and Rand Paul endorsed and campaigned for Cruz in 2010.
Now that both Paul and Cruz are running for president, some RLC members are split between the two candidates. In the group’s straw poll at their national convention in October, Paul edged out Cruz.
“The RLC membership is diverse and while most of us support Rand Paul, Ted Cruz has his supporters too,” said RLC Vice Chair Dave Nalle. “For most of us, Cruz would be an acceptable second choice if Paul were to drop out,” he added.
One RLC national board member however, says that although he sees the two candidates as equally acceptable, he holds a different view of what it takes to win.
Steve Hoffman, who made news recently for an apparent defection from Paul’s camp to Cruz’s, describes himself as a longtime Ron Paul supporter who simply thinks Cruz’s campaign is more effective.
“In today’s political environment, it’s extremely important that a liberty movement candidate be the Republican nominee for president,” said Hoffman, explaining that both Paul and Cruz fit that bill. Bu Hoffman believes Cruz is likelier to win, especially in his home state of South Carolina.
Doug Stafford, a senior advisor to Rand Paul’s presidential campaign, disputed the claim that Cruz has a better shot, saying, “we are organized heavily in all of the early states.” Stafford also made it clear that he does not believe there are two liberty candidates in the race, explaining his view that Rand Paul has the overwhelming support of those who are truly concerned with liberty.
“Rand Paul was candidate who led the fight to expire the Patriot Act while Ted Cruz voted to renew it,” said Stafford. “Rand Paul fought to end unconstitutional ban on bulk collection, while Ted Cruz bragged about increasing the amount of spying we do on stage in the last debate,” he added.
Hoffman, though he is currently working as a paid canvasser for Keep the Promise, a Cruz supporting political action committee, insists that he hasn’t formally endorsed Cruz.
“I’m in no position to endorse anybody,” said Hoffman, noting that he doesn’t want people to confuse his official capacity on the RLC’s board with his choice to work for a Cruz PAC.
“It would be inappropriate for me to come out and say I endorse so-and-so,” explained Hoffman. “The RLC goes through a well-established, documented process before we endorse anybody.” Presently, RLC board members are walking through that process and are expected to make their formal presidential endorsement this month, prior to the February 1st Iowa caucus.
As RLC members discuss their endorsement, it’s Nalle’s view that both Paul and Cruz are much better on core liberty issues such as adherence to the Constitution and government accountability when compared to all other candidates in the Republican field.
“I see Paul as the gold standard and Cruz as silver, but the rest are zinc or tin,” said Nalle. | positive |
New WhatsApp Update for iOS adds Offline Messages, Storage Manager and bumps up Media Sharing Limit Skip to content Nashville Chatter Menu Home Business Headlines Smartphones Tablets Gaming Technology Apps Cars Search for: Search for: Home > Apps > New WhatsApp Update for iOS adds Offline Messages, Storage Manager and bumps up Media Sharing Limit New WhatsApp Update for iOS adds Offline Messages, Storage Manager and bumps up Media Sharing Limit January 24, 2017 April 14, 2018 Daniel Robinson WhatsApp is the most popular messaging app in the world right now, boasting a following of over 1.1 billion and still counting. One thing that makes WhatsApp such a popular messaging app is the fact that it is available on just about every mobile platform. Whether you are using iOS, Android or Windows – the app can be downloaded and installed for free. One downside of this application, however, is that it tends to favor Android users more than any other platforms supported. Usually, new features and updates are rolled out to Android users before they appear on the iOS and later on Windows side of the divide. Those using the Google-owned platform already have quite a number of features that are currently making their way to the iOS via the latest WhatsApp v2.17.1. Two weeks ago, Android users were gifted with the opportunity to share up to 30 photos or videos in a single message, but it only now that Apple iPhone users of this Facebook-owned app can enjoy this same feature. Many have been calling for it to be added, with the previous version only capable of sending up to 10 media files at once. The good thing is that this is not the only new feature that WhatsApp for iOS users will be getting from this update. Apparently, the update also comes with a new storage usage screen. Here, users of this chat app will now be able to manage their storage space by simply erasing select message types from specific chats on the phone, be it videos, images, GIFs or even locations shared via the same app. To access the new storage screen, go to Settings>Data & Storage Usage>Storage Usage and then hit “Clear chat”. Finally, the third major update that the new WhatsApp 2.17.1 brings to iPhone users is the ability to send offline messages. Not that you can now chat with your friends without an active data connection, but users will now be able to hit the “Send” button even if there’s no internet connection. Messages will be sent to a queue and when your iPhone gets back to an internet connection, they will be sent to whomever you were sending them to. In this way, you can simply add messages to a queue and continue doing other stuff. The latest version of WhatsApp for iPhone can be downloaded directly from the official iTunes App Store.

Let’s start with the big news.
Hockey Canada announced this week that potential first-overall pick Nolan Patrick of the Brandon Wheat Kings has not been medically cleared and will not play for Team Canada at the upcoming World Junior Hockey Championships in Toronto and Montreal.
Patrick has only played six games this season, picking up nine points. Brandon is not saying what the injury is specifically, calling it “upper body.” Patrick had sports hernia surgery in the summer and many wonder if this setback is related.
Nonetheless, for the purposes of the 2017 NHL Draft, one would naturally ask if this would bump Patrick out of the top spot in the rankings?
The short answer: no.
Not a scout? No worries. Jeff Marek’s newest podcast is all you need.

I submit that even if Patrick doesn’t play another game this season—and as long as the injury isn’t career threatening—he will still go first overall in Chicago next June. When you look at his body of working back to his rookie year when he popped 30 goals as a 16-year old, there’s enough evidence to suggest he’s still the cream of the crop this season.
We’ve seen players lose almost entire seasons in their draft years and still get selected high. In 2012 Alex Galchenyuk played only two regular season games, six more in the playoffs (a knee injury the culprit) and still went third overall to Montreal. Some thought he should have gone first, and a case can be made he should have. Two picks later at the same draft Toronto picked Morgan Reilly, who only managed to suit up for 18 regular-season contests and five more in the post-season due to a knee injury. No issues. No cause for pause. Both were good picks regardless of what the player achieved that season.
Scout’s Take: What exactly is happening with Nolan Patrick? (Rob Wallator/CHL Images)
The flip side of this is, of course, Gord Kluzak, who played only 38 games in his draft season and still went No. 1 in 1982. Kluzak, a strapping defenceman who played for the Billings Bighorns of the Western League, tore ligaments in his left knee in a game against the Medicine Hat Tigers. That led to the first of 10 knee surgeries, which ultimately ended his career.
In speaking with scouts of both the NHL and independent variety, it doesn’t sound like Patrick’s injury and missing the world juniors will adversely impact his draft stock.
I texted a few NHL scouts whose opinion I value highly with this simple question: “will Patrick’s omission from the WJC and injury bump him out of the first-overall draft slot?”
Here’s a sample of what came back:
“At this point I would say no…it’s not a great year at the top of the draft”
“At present time, for me, as long as the injury won’t be a long term issue. I think when he comes back and starts playing he will remain the top guy. My opinion based on what is available this year.”
“Patrick’s injury and omission shouldn’t ultimately hurt his draft position. Teams had plenty of opportunities to view him and evaluate him last year and a few games this year and his play was impressive. If the injuries and missed games persist into late January/February, then there will be some questions, but for now it’s his spot to lose.”
But he’s not the only high-end draft eligible prospect who we won’t see suiting up for his native country at the WJC.
Canada chose to leave both Gabriel Vilardi (Windsor) and Owen Tippett (Mississauga) at home, Sweden did not invite the highly ranked Timothy Liljegren of Rogle (who just came back after missing the entire start of the season with mono) along with fellow defenceman Erik Brannstrom (HV71). Russia is not bringing along Klim Kostin (Dynamo) and Nikita Popugaev (Moose Jaw)
Other notes
Nico Hischier
The Halifax Mooseheads centre moves up to the third spot on our list as his stock continues to rise through the season. While there were early concerns about his durability, he’s been whacked, slashed and hit, and still produces game in and game out (as of this writing he sits second in QMJHL scoring with 47 points in 29 games). Added bonus: he’s doing this on one of the youngest teams in the entire CHL and doesn’t have the supporting cast that other elite Mooseheads skaters like Nathan MacKinnon, Jonathan Drouin anf Nicolaj Ehlers had.
Goalies
We have Jake Oettinger of Boston University ranked as the No. 1 goaltender. Most NHL scouts we spoke to who played goal are mostly be on the same page about Oettinger being the top dog.
Others netminders to keep an eye on include Maxim Zhukov of the USHL’s Green Bay Gamblers, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen of (HPK U20), Jordan Hollett (Regina Pats), Stuart Skinner (Lethbridge Hurricanes), Michael Dipietro (Windsor Spitfires) and Ian Scott (Prince Albert Raiders)
Sweden
It’s going to be interesting to see who the cuts for Sweden are at the WJC specifically on the blueline where it appears that 16-year-old phenom, and projected first-overall pick in 2018, Rasmus Dahlin may just make the team. He’ll compete with David Bernhardt (PHI), Jacob Moverare (L.A.), and Kristoffer Gunnarson for a spot as Gabriel Carlsson (CBJ), Lucas Carlsson (CHI), Jacob Larsson (ANA) and Oliver Kylington (CGY) seem to be locks.
Speaking of Dahlin, here’s a taste.
Every coach who’s had him raves about his skill with the puck and ability to control play. One Swedish scout I spoke to recently told me the only other player he’s ever seen play better than Dahlin as a 16-year old was Victor Hedman, adding that not even Erik Karlsson was at Dahlin’s level at the same age.
Here are this month’s draft rankings, which again, are based on a number of factors: personal viewings along with conversations with scouts, GMs, coaches and analysts who cover prospects globally. For more context on risers and fallers, you can also find November’s rankings here.

On Wednesday night in Bangalore, an Irish legend was born
Liam Brickhill in Bangalore
On Wednesday night in Bangalore, an Irish legend was born. For 123 glorious minutes Kevin O'Brien burned more brightly than the floodlights that illuminated the stadium, as an increasingly impassioned crowd cheered each thundering crack off his bat with ever greater fervour. Ireland were floundering at a rudderless 106 for 4 in the 23rd over when he entered the fray, they were at the brink of the most famous victory in their cricketing history when he departed 211 runs later. The crowd rose as one to cheer him off and tearful pride was writ large on the faces of his parents, who had watched every ball from the stands.
"I'm still speechless to be honest," O'Brien said after his breathtaking innings. "There's two proud people up there in the stands, and there's probably 4 million proud people back home. It's a fantastic day, not just for Irish cricket but for any Irish sport. Any time Ireland beat England, it's massive. All I can say is that it's a tremendous day and we're all very proud. It's going to be a good night and we'll celebrate as long and as loudly as we can.
"That's a long way the best innings I've ever played," he added. "It even eclipses playing in the back garden with Niall, where hitting out of the garden was out. I think anyone is going to struggle to beat that innings to be honest, and I'll take a few fines for that. I'll say that all night, a hundred off fifty balls in a World Cup in front of a billion people under lights against England, it doesn't get any better."
It was fitting that O'Brien became Ireland's leading run-scorer in one-day cricket in the course of his innings. His record-breaking century - the fastest in World Cup history - sealed the biggest chase the tournament has ever seen, smashing a record that had stood for 19 years, and helped Ireland soar to their first ever win over England. William Porterfield, Ireland's captain and the man O'Brien eclipsed on that run-scoring list, was effusive in his praise for what he called "an unbelievable knock".
"There's not many games where a team will be 111 for 5 with 24 overs gone and chase 320-odd and knock them off with a few balls to spare," said Porterfield. "It's an unbelievable knock, it's the best knock I've seen. It's got to rank as one of the best, if not the best, World Cup knock."
Porterfield was equally enthused about the team's victory and its place in Irish cricketing history, adding: "I think it's the biggest win that Irish cricket's ever had. Obviously there's the win against Pakistan [in 2007] that put us through the group but in terms of a one-off win it's the biggest we've ever had, and one of the best. It's the biggest chase in World Cup history and it's the biggest chase we've had in a long time. It's the best win in Irish cricket's history for me."
While Ireland had managed to just about keep afloat after the disaster of losing Porterfield to the first ball of the innings, their pursuit of 328 had been drifting into mediocrity before O'Brien strode to the crease. He reached the boundary three times within the first 10 deliveries he faced, displaying remarkable self-belief, and never looked back.
"I Just went out and tried to be positive," he said. "Just back my own ability and if the ball's there to hit, try and hit it, and hit it as hard as I can. It was obviously a tricky situation, it didn't help losing the fifth wicket for 111. We were backs-against-the-wall but we took a chance and we got the ball rolling and from there I don't think England had any answers for us. They didn't really know what they were up to with their bowling plans and we took advantage of that."
William Porterfield: "There's not many games where a team will be 111 for 5 with 24 overs gone and chase 320-odd and knock them off with a few balls to spare."

Porterfield suggested the turning point came when the Batting Powerplay was taken after the 31st over. The 32nd, bowled by Michael Yardy, was the most expensive of the innings until that point, but there was even more carnage to come. Three overs later O'Brien crashed James Anderson into the night sky and high over the midwicket boundary with scarcely believable force to smash another record, for the biggest six of the tournament, with a 102-metre behemoth. Five overs of fielding restrictions yielded 62 runs and with 99 needed at seven-an-over, for the first time the finish line became visible for Ireland.
"It was the turning point," said Porterfield. "We've obviously got plans and strategies before the game, but it's up to the lads in the middle to make that call [on taking the Powerplay]. They know how they feel out there and what they feel they can do, so I think it was a pretty good decision to take it then."
It was soon after that O'Brien truly began to believe that he could do more than simply bruise English egos, and that victory was actually achievable. "For me, it was probably at about 12 overs to go. We needed 80 or 90 off 12, about seven an over and the wicket out there was extremely flat, the ball was coming onto the bat nicely and it's a pretty small ground with a quick outfield. You pierce the ball through the infield and it's either two or four, and it helped that I was hitting the ball pretty cleanly as well."
There was a final twist to the tale, however, and when O'Brien was run out in the 49th over with 11 still needed one might have expected there to be some fluttering hearts in the Ireland camp. But O'Brien insisted that, even then, they felt victory was theirs for the taking.
"I knew John-boy [John Mooney] was there and he was hitting the ball extremely cleanly, and then Trent [Johnston] to come in. Trent's no tailender, he hits a big ball and he's a fantastic player coming in at No. 8 or 9 for us. I just knew if we didn't panic it was down to a run a ball, and they weren't really hitting their straps. They weren't hitting their yorkers and they were always giving us a four-ball - one an over - so we knew if we just sat on it, kept out the good ball and hit the bad ball that we'd walk to victory."
The win, with five balls to spare, was indeed ultimately a stroll, but Ireland's reaction was anything but. The Ireland changing room had bristled with increasingly nervous, fidgety energy until the explosion of emotion that came with Mooney's swat to the midwicket boundary, the players spilling onto the field in joyful delirium.
Ireland's cricketers, with an assortment of shaved, blond, blue and purple heads, brought colour and excitement to match England's epic against India at the same venue last week. O'Brien stood out more than most with his garish pink and blond mop, and his match-winning century will stand out in similar technicolor in the memories of all who saw it on a legendary night in Bangalore. | positive |
Fancy owning the domain name Ethereum.com? Better start counting the pennies.
According to Bloomberg, the high-value domain has now been listed for sale on the Uniregistry marketplace for “around $10 million.”
Commenting on the news, domain investor Ammar Kubba told the news source that cryptocurrency is the “biggest trend” in the domain industry, and that related domains have grown in value “much much faster than other names.”
Kubba added that, just a few months ago, he paid $800 for the InsideCoins.com domain, and that it had already tripled in value.
Ron Jackson, editor and publisher of Domain Name Journal, told Bloomberg that the recent “unfettered euphoria” around cryptocurrencies like bitcoin, is similar to the period just before the dot-com crash that occurred around 2001.
The $10 million asking price for Ethereum.com, if it is achieved, will put other domain sales this year in the shade.
Last month, a domain name investor, Sharjil Saleem, closed a $2 million sale of ETH.com, according to Domain Name Journal. According to the site, that figure makes it the second most valuable domain sale so far in 2017, putting it just below Fly.com, which sold for $2.89 million in May.
Back in 2014, the domain name BitcoinWallet.com was sold to an Austin-based entrepreneur, Alex Charfen, for $250,000.

Pope Francis officiates a holy mass at the square of Christ the Redeemer in Santa Cruz, Bolivia on July 9, 2015 (AFP)
Pope Francis lashed out at wealthy minorities who hoard resources at the expense of the poor as he visited a crowded Nairobi slum on Friday, wrapping up the first leg of a three nation tour.
The 78-year-old pontiff was given a rapturous welcome as he arrived in Kangemi, which is home to more than 100,000 people who live in shacks without sewerage, including 20,000 who belong to the local Catholic parish.
“These are wounds inflicted by minorities who cling to power and wealth, who selfishly squander while a growing majority is forced to flee to abandoned, filthy and run-down peripheries,” he told crowds in the slum on the outskirts of the Kenyan capital.
Wild singing and ululating erupted as Francis arrived in Kangemi, his popemobile weaving through a sea of tin-roofed homes in one of the most anticipated parts of his three-day visit to Kenya.
“I am here because I want you to know that I am not indifferent to your joys and hopes, your troubles and your sorrows,” Francis told the packed congregation at the Church of St Joseph the Worker, denouncing the “dreadful injustice of urban exclusion”.
“I realise the difficulties which you experience daily. How can I not denounce the injustices which you suffer?”
People arrived long before dawn in the hope of catching a glimpse of the pope, who has made humility and help for the impoverished a hallmark of his tenure.
He went on to meet young people at Kasarani national stadium, where US President Barack Obama gave a keynote speech in July.
– ‘Corruption like sugar’ –
There, thousands of smiling youngsters whooped, cheered and danced as the tiny white-clad figure entered the stadium setting off lively celebrations.
Even politicians joined in, with Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta leading a group of black-and-magenta clad priests an impromptu “conga” line as grinning spectators gawped from the stands.
The pope delivered another hard-hitting address focusing on corruption and the radicalisation of young people.
“Corruption is something which eats (you) inside. It is like sugar. Sweet. We like it. It is easy,” he said of an issue which is of widespread concern in this east African country that has come in for sharp international criticism over runaway graft.
“After, we finish up in a bad way… So much sugar that we either end up being diabetic, or our country ends up diabetic,” he warned.
“Please don’t develop that taste for that sugar which is called corruption.”
He also spoke of the dangers of young people being drawn into radical extremism, saying “education and work” was the key to stopping it.
“They leave their friends, their tribes, their countries. They leave their lives behind in order to kill,” he told the crowd.
“The first thing we have to do to stop a young person being recruited is education and work. If a young person has no work, then what future awaits him?
“It is a social danger, which is beyond us… because it depends on an unjust international system that which is not centred on the person but on the god of money.”
– Uganda moves against NGOs –
After arriving in Nairobi late on Wednesday on his first visit to Africa, the pope celebrated a giant open air public mass, using his public appearances to speak forcefully about the dangers of radicalisation and climate change.
He also issued a stark environmental message, warning it would be “catastrophic” if agreement is not reached at a key UN climate summit which opens in Paris on Monday.
“We are confronted with a choice which cannot be ignored: either to improve or to destroy the environment,” he said in a speech at the world headquarters of the UN’s Environment Programme.
Later Friday, Francis will fly to Uganda where he will spend two days before continuing on to Central African Republic, a country wracked by sectarian conflict.
On the eve of his arrival, Ugandan MPs passed a controversial bill that would give authorities sweeping powers to regulate civil society, which rights groups say will “strangle” criticism of the government.
The legislation would grant Uganda’s internal affairs ministry the power to supervise, approve, inspect and dissolve an organisation if it was “in the public interest” in a move which could even see rights activists jailed for documenting abuses.
Human Rights Watch has said the implications were “terrifying”.
Security has been ratcheted up for the visit over fears Islamist rebels from Al-Qaeda’s East Africa branch, the Shebab, could the opportunity to stage attacks.
But Francis has shrugged off safety fears, joking that he was “more worried about the mosquitoes”. | positive |
Each year, thousands of people who have visited our store for the first time, or moved to a place without Wegmans, write asking that we build a store in their town. Since we open just two or three new stores each year, it would be impossible to oblige every request.
Today, we have stores in New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts. You’ll see from our list of future projects that our new store growth is concentrated in the northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, though we will continue to upgrade or replace older stores in our more mature markets, like New York. There are other sites we are working on, but are not at liberty to disclose as yet.
Please note that some sites listed below are still in final stages of negotiation or waiting for municipal approvals, and opening dates are subject to change. | positive |

iPhone users now have another option for downloading songs from their device.
Amazon today launched its MP3 store for iPhone and iPod Touch users, allowing them to buy digital music from Amazon's 22-million song catalog. There's one catch, though. The purchases have to be made via the Safari Web browser, not through any of Amazon's apps. That means the process isn't quite as seamless as buying music through iTunes.
Amazon noted that music purchases are automatically saved to the customer's Cloud Player library and can be downloaded or streamed instantly from an iPhone , iPod Touch , Kindle Fire, Android phone or tablet, Roku, Sonos home entertainment system, or any Web browser. It also said the MP3 mobile site is built on HTML5 so users can make purchases directly from www.amazon.com/mp3.
"Since the launch of the Amazon Cloud Player app for iPhone and iPod touch, a top request from customers has been the ability to buy music from Amazon right from their devices," Steve Boom, vice president of Amazon Music, said in a statement. "For the first time ever, iOS users have a way do that."
Amazon, Apple, and other companies have been battling over providing consumers with content like music, movies, and books. Amazon is believed to make most of its mobile-related profit from the content it sells rather than from the sale of its devices.
Traditionally, iOS users have been able to access Amazon's apps like Kindle and Cloud Player but haven't been able to purchase items from Amazon on their devices. That's largely because of an Apple rule designed to make sure it gets its 30 percent cut on all sales apps generate.
In the past, e-reading apps Kindle, Nook, and Kobo avoided paying the cut by sending customers to a Web-based interface outside the app. But that changed in mid-2011 when Apple made conditions far stricter. | positive |
This is the second in a series of posts on why I no longer believe that supernatural experiences are evidence for God.
Bubbles of beliefs
During my years in the ashram, I lived in a bubble of faith. I was 100% surrounded by people who held the same beliefs. My beliefs were confirmed and my faith protected from doubts. The spiritual teachings, library, and language in the ashram convinced me the saints, sages, and yogis of all religions, were proof of direct personal experience of God. But, what made me think I too could experience Spirit personally?
My background in Christianity gave me a solid foundation for faith in the supernatural. And, my conversion to yoga meditation was grounded in traditions of Christian and Eastern mysticism. We monks were taught to believe, “Peace is the first proof of presence of God” (Yogananda). And, to “Be still and know that I am God” (Psalms 46:10). The Autobiography of a Yogi and SRF Lessons were packed with claims that proper practice of yoga meditation would prove direct, personal experience of God.
Inside the ashram and out I’d had many, many personal experiences from my meditations, prayers, and intuitions “proving”, to my satisfaction, I’d had direct and personal experience of a Supernatural Deity. Meditation and metaphysical practices gave me proof, just like I was taught! And, believed.
Mystical experience defined
The word yoga has been interpreted to mean union. Mysticism is the belief in union or absorption into a supernatural deity, and the perception of knowledge beyond the intellect. (In future posts, I will discuss fear of intellect among believers). Personal, subjective experiences (like faith, mysticism, and supernatural perception) are the opposite of impersonal, objective experiences that are perceivable, verifiable, and describable by others.
We both can agree what an orange looks like and verify the fact by grabbing an orange from the fridge, looking at it, touching it, tasting it. But with personal (subjective) experiences, no one else can really “know” our experience, and the experiencer cannot demonstrate their experience to others. This puts the person claiming personal experience of God in an impossibly awkward position to prove or demonstrate it to others.
Proof of God?
In my monk days, coincidences that I viewed as good or positive were attributed to Divine Grace, good Karma, results from my meditations, etc. I often felt a Supreme Being personally cared for me, guided me, and filled me with wonder, sometimes even bliss. Because many of my personal experiences seemed transformative and mysterious, perhaps even miraculous, my faith compelled me to believe my experiences were “signs and wonders” that proved the existence of God. But where they?
Now, I see all my so-called “mystical” experiences are really part of being human, and that we all experience sacredness to one degree or another. Regardless what we are taught to believe: joy of seeing a radiant sunset, bliss of being in love, and contentment with our lot in life- all are emotional sensations we can feel in our lives. (No magic, no wishful-thinking required). My fellow monks and I daily trained ourselves, using yoga meditation and other metaphysical practices, to enter altered states of consciousness where we believed we communed with Spirit, Atman, or Soul. We “attuned” and “surrendered” ourselves to be “receptive” to what we believed.
“The question is not whether one believes, but what evidence one’s beliefs are based on. All beliefs are based on something”, says Greg Epstein, Humanist Chaplain of Harvard University and author of Good Without God. “Beliefs in supernatural events such as miracles are based on tradition- such as reading about it in a book we’re told is sacred- or intuition- as in those moments when it seems there must be something looking out for us. Sometimes traditions and intuitions are correct. But they are not reliable ways to determine whether something is true…The scientific method, while imperfect, is the most reliable tool human beings have ever known for determining the nature of the world around us”.
Inevitably, after I left my ashram bubble, I was exposed to contrary evidence. Gradually my supernatural faith was inoculated with reason and science. I no longer believe supernatural explanations are necessary. Many of my old beliefs may have been harmful and delusional.
No Religion Required
Lest someone say my heart and mind are now closed, I am, in fact, quite open to being shown contrary evidence and willing to revise my beliefs or lack thereof. As a nonbeliever, I no longer need to fill God into the gaps or mysteries of life or the world around me. And, as a nonbeliever, I still have as many, if not more, keen sensations of awe, wonder, and beauty, coupled with moments of intense peace and bliss.
Many human experiences can give us the “spiritual” feelings believers attribute to a supernatural cause. Psychological therapies can give us a sense of heightened self awareness, so can hypnotic trance, positive self-regard, or sensations of personal alignment with self and the universe. I can feel bliss while I ride my bike on a mountain trail in the woods
Personal experience fails as evidence for the supernatural
The way we interpret our personal experiences, feelings, and intuitions is dictated by our traditions, biases, and beliefs. We get trained by our cultures, whether Christian, Muslim, Jew, Hindu, New Age, or Atheist. Everyone has had intense personal experiences we could label or interpret anyway we choose. Personal experiences are part of being human, not divine. Therefore, faith in personal experience or mysticism is not a reliable way for determining the existence of God or the supernatural.

An enterprise-grade DDoS protection service should go above and beyond by providing comprehensive insight into network activity before, during and after an attack. Organizations should expect a higher degree of service and visibility into what is going on in their network, even during peacetime. DDoS protection solutions have significant visibility into the protected network, and, as a result, should be able to assist in various decision-making processes. Advanced Network Analytics As part of Radware’s Cloud DDoS Protection Service, the Cloud Network Analytics service provides users with peacetime network traffic information. The solution allows administrators to eliminate errors when planning network deployments and stay ahead of DDoS threats via early detection of network abuse and intrusion in peacetime. The service is divided into four categories that allow for monitoring and visibility into different aspects of the network: Network Traffic Visibility Full visibility into network traffic so users can quantify the exact amount of traffic. Ultimately, understanding network consumption enables for more effective network planning and deployment to avoid scaling and sizing issues Services in Use A detailed overview of the services in use, such as HTTPS, DNS, internet browsing, VoIP, file downloading, and more, with the ability to monitor the services and make sure they are used for the right purpose Access Privileges Management Maps users and their access privileges as well as the specific IP addresses and geographies that can access the organizations services. Privilege management to ensure users have proper access Client-Server Traffic Quantifies the amount of traffic from each client to the server to monitor conversations and make sure no user is abusing server conversations/resources.

Archimago's Musings: MEASUREMENTS: Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Phone Archimago's Musings A 'more objective' take for Rational Audiophiles. Among other topics! Twitter: @Archimago; E-Mail: archimagosmusings(at)outlook.com [Note that I have an Amazon Affiliates account. Some items may be linked to Amazon and I may receive some Amazon gift certs for qualifying purchases.] Saturday, 5 September 2015 MEASUREMENTS: Samsung Galaxy Note 5 Phone As you probably know, for me, convenience and practicality are the most important elements of mobile audio. As much as I enjoy the audiophile hobby and achieving high fidelity sound, I think it's important and realistic in acknowledging that consumption of music on-the-go these days is tied in to the ubiquitous "smartphone" many of us carry around. They have become indispensable tools in so many ways that for music lovers and audiophiles to not take them seriously IMO would be denial. I think it's fascinating that audiophile magazines rarely ever mention these devices despite the fact that millions of us use them every day and gain so much enjoyment in the process! The last phone I got was the Nexus 5 which I measured back in early 2014. As you can see, it doesn't measure too well using the standard test bench but adequate for busy environments. Not inspiring 16/44 performance and it does accept 24-bit audio but can't really perform beyond close to 16-bit dynamic range. It's also limited to standard resolution 44kHz only. Last year, my wife got the iPhone 6 which I also examined. Up to 24/48, it performed well subjectively and with objective measures. Clearly a step above my Nexus 5 in terms of achieving >16-bit dynamic range. In terms of output impedance, Ken Rockwell measured the iPhone 6+ as 3.18-ohms and the Nexus 5 is probably around an unimpressive 10-15-ohms. Well, after close to 2 years, here then is my phone upgrade: Shown in Otter Box case. That is of course one of the two new Samsung "flagship" phones. The Galaxy Note 5, 5.7" screen @ 2560x1440 AMOLED QHD resolution (gorgeous!), 4GB RAM, Android 5.1.1, Samsung Exynos 7 Octa 7420 64-bit 8-core CPU (4x2.1GHz + 4x1.5GHz, Mali-T760 MP8 302 GFLOPS GPU!), S-Pen, and all the bells and whistles which I will not repeat (a detailed review here). The other flagship phone is the Galaxy S6 Edge+ which almost has the same feature set but with the cool edge curvature (for bookmarks, quick launch icons, notifications) and missing the pen. Despite how "cool" the Edge looked, I just didn't think it added much to potential productivity. To buy these phones outright, we're looking at $750-$900USD before taxes or shipping currently... Not insignificant investments for most people. In the picture above, I have it nestled in the excellent but bulky Otter DEFENDER Case - it provides a nice rugged secure belt clip; essential for day-to-day work. The rubberized feel of the case is also good since the body of the phone is now made of glass front and back which could be a little slippery when wet. The thickness might compromise wireless Qi charging; my more expensive Panasonic QE-TM101 charger actually fails to charge with the case on but my cheap generic charging pad from eBay actually works fine! Here's a look at the size compared to the old Nexus 5 and wife's iPhone 6 (not Plus): Each phone rendering this blog in Dolphin browser at full brightness. Nexus 5 left, then iPhone 6 (a very pretty phone IMO), and Note 5 right. An obvious and substantial handful size-wise, my friends. Five years ago you'd look like a total dork lugging this around (first Samsung Note came out 2011), but these days, it's pretty well standard around here. Especially useful I believe for those reading complex Asian fonts. You've probably seen in other reviews that although having a slightly larger screen than the iPhone 6+ (Note 5 5.7" vs. iPhone 6+ 5.5"), it is actually shorter, about the same width, and slightly thicker; overall it feels similar in my hand. Let's get to it with the audio. Notice that there are some results out already using the Note 5 and and AudioPrecision APx525! The output impedance is 4.6-ohms. Not far off from the iPhone 6... That's an encouraging start. "Willyman" called it "an audiophile's dream"! We'll see about that. Although I don't have such esteemed equipment, let's see what my results look like and compare the Note 5 with the iPhone 6, the previous Nexus 5, a few of the other DACs, and of course the PonoPlayer. I. Oscilloscope Square Wave @ 0dBFS, Impulse Response, Digital Filter As usual, let's start with a few preliminary evaluations. First up is the ol' digital oscilloscope to see the maximum voltage and channel balance: Nice channel balance, peak voltage at ~1V, or 0.7Vrms. This is essentially the same as the PonoPlayer (single ended mode) and a bit lower than the iPhone 6 which is capable of about 1Vrms. Impulse response: Minimum phase filtering is being used with Apple's iPhone 6 and now I see it with the Samsung Galaxy Note 5 - seems like the "norm" with expensive cell phones these days. Absolute phase maintained. Stereophile has been using an overlay graph with wideband measurements of white noise and a 19kHz signal over the last few years to look at filter roll off, and aliasing products based on discussions with Juergen Reis (the "Reis Test"). Here's a similar version (with 19kHz and 20kHz components to scare up some intermodulation as well), signal constructed as 24/44: Since this is the first time I've posted something like this (beyond just wideband white noise), I've annotated it with some details. As you can see, I have 3 spectra overlaid. The green FFT is the twin 19kHz and 20kHz sine waves at -6dBFS [peak amplitude -0.02dB, no clipped samples] in the test signal but I've set the peaks at -20dB on my ADC to prevent any overloading - I'm going to use this as the standard volume calibration for these tests. The purple is with the device playing digital silence. As you can see, there's a bit of very low level noise from 20Hz to 20kHz. Notice the noise floor increases when I play the 19 & 20kHz test tones in green. The new noise peaks in the green FFT (compared to the purple digital silence tracing) represent added distortion (aliasing, harmonic distortion, intermodulation distortion, spurious noise). I've also added a solid horizontal line at -120dB as a marker; any noise products below this means the signal is less than 100dB below the peaks at -20dB. In the case of the Note 5, even though there are quite a number of peaks <20kHz, all except one at 13kHz appear to be at or more than 100dB below the 19 and 20 kHz primary signals. I think that's pretty good. Finally, there is the yellow tracing. This is the wideband white noise tracing used to look at the steepness of the digital filter. With the Note 5, notice that the overall noise floor appears to increase with signal complexity from silence, to dual tones, to random noise. I've seen this kind of thing happen with other portable devices but had not reported it. Ideally, it would be nice to see the noise floor remain stable irrespective of what signal is being played (which is the case with the excellent DACs I've tested). This is an example of a suboptimal digital filter design. As the signal gets louder and more complex, the DAC digital filter becomes "overloaded" resulting in increased distortion and restriction of dynamic range can be seen... This makes it difficult to get a handle on the impact on playing real music since the dynamic range will fluctuate through the course of a piece; whether this is an audible problem is unclear to me but certainly this is not ideal performance. Now, for some context, here's what the same test looks like with the PonoPlayer: Notice again the weak digital filter (yellow) with a very gradual roll-off instead of the sharp filter with the Note 5 around the 22kHz Nyquist frequency. The result of this is the presence of strong aliasing images at 24 and 25kHz (green tracing). Compared to the Note 5, there are a number of signal spikes poking through the solid horizontal line down at -120dB (or 100dB below the sine wave peaks calibrated to -20dB)... Basically, a demonstration of more distortion products present; still lowish levels so I'm not claiming this is audible although the 24 and 25kHz aliasing peaks could cause significant problems with nonlinear speakers and headphones. The nice characteristic demonstrated by the PonoPlayer is how the noise floor remains stable irrespective of the signal being played. I like this stability! (And as I commented on the PonoPlayer review, I wish Pono would come out with firmware that lets me turn off the Ayre filter and run a more typical steeper filter which would clean up much of the aliasing distortion with 44/48kHz signals!) II. RightMark Tests & Comparisons As usual, I'll be using the measurement equipment "chain" as such: Phone/DAP/DAC Device --> 6' single-ended cable (shielded phono-RCA or RCA-RCA) --> E-MU 0404USB --> 6' shielded USB cable --> Windows measurement computer Some devices like the PonoPlayer are of course capable of balanced operation, I will indicate this as appropriate. RightMark 6.4.1 PRO software for acquisition and analysis; some of the older devices would have been measured with earlier versions and data saved in a compatible format. 16/44: The big summary chart with a number of comparison DACs: Scanning through this summary, one cannot help but be reminded that 16/44 audio is generally not a problem at all! The only device that clearly struggled with the full 16-bit resolution was the Nexus 5 phone. We see the frequency response idiosyncrasy with the PonoPlayer of course. And the Dragonfly's higher stereo crosstalk. Frequency Response Noise floor IMD test tone Stereo Crosstalk 24/48: The summary chart: The reason I'm doing 24/48 is mainly to compare to the iPhone 6 (with the Onkyo HF Player app) which peaks out at this bit-depth and samplerate. As you can see, the Note 5 holds its own remarkably well at this setting... For all the complex electronics inside, it actually achieves a very low noise level reading. However, I do believe this low noise / high dynamic range result is exaggerated with simple test signals like RightMark as suggested in Part I above. Frequency Response Noise Level 24/96: Lots of DACs tested over the years at this almost universal "high-resolution" setting: What can I say, the Note 5 remains very accurate compared to the others based on this test. With a dynamic range of 111dB, we're looking at slightly more than 18.5-bits of resolution (again, remember the caveat from Part I about the noise floor). Again, some excellent measured results from a compact mobile device. Interestingly the Note 5's frequency response has a gentle roll-off earlier than the others... Not a big deal since we're only looking at -0.75dB at 20kHz (much less than the PonoPlayer at 44/48kHz of course). Frequency Response Noise Level. You can see a bit of 60Hz mains hum with the Transporter and TEAC which are of course plugged into the wall socket. IMD test tone Stereo Crosstalk. There's that Dragonfly again... And the benefit of balanced operation. 24/192: Yes ladies and gents... The Samsung Note 5 phone does indeed support and play back 24/192 files. Like the 24/96 results above, that gentle roll-off is again notable for the Note 5 compared to the others. Frequency Response Noise Level. Curious that the Note 5 has a 60Hz component here which was not seen with the 24/96 test. I double checked this and it appears to be a real finding though not of concern at -120dB down. III. Jitter - Dunn J-Test I expected to see a little more of the jitter modulation pattern in the 16-bit spectrum. But otherwise, there's no evidence of significant "skirting" of the primary signal base nor sidebands as seen in SPDIF interfaces which are more prone to jitter (eg. TosLink, Coaxial). As I have noted before, I'm not sure we need to be concerned about jitter these days with the vast majority of devices (despite all the claims out there)... IV. Subjective Impressions Hey, it's a phone... A typical Android phone, so I trust nothing needs to be said about the user interface and functionality. Just use whatever music player software you like. I'm fine with the default Google "Play Music" app (despite the odd way it doesn't pick up cover images at times; it's bit perfect so long as you're not activating the DSP/EQ settings). It handled all the high-resolution music in FLAC just fine. Also, at home I have been listening to music streamed off my Logitech Media Server using SqueezePlayer and controlled with Squeeze Commander or Orange Squeeze. Works great with lossless streaming through the home WiFi. The Note 5's 0.7Vrms output puts it at about the same maximum level as the PonoPlayer. Like I said with the Pono, even at maximum volume, my AKG Q701 headphone isn't loud enough to sound uncomfortable for music with decent dynamic range. Reasonably sensitive headphones recommended. I've had a listen to a few of my usual test tracks over the last week to get an idea of how it sounds. Delicate details are well rendered; for example Ali Farka Touré & Toumani Diabate's "Monsieur Le maire de Niafunké" (from In The Heart of the Moon, 2005) retained the lovely intricacies of the overlapping guitar and kora. Last week, I checked out the Beach Boys live here in Vancouver at the annual Pacific National Exhibition. Clearly, they aren't exactly "boys" any more and the original line-up is gone, but it was still a fun concert. Anyhow, I listened to the 2012 album That's Why God Made The Radio in 24/48. Sounds good, typical Beach Boys harmonies among the pop confections. Plenty of details retrieved, excellent pristine sound. Suzanne Vega's album Solitude Standing (1987) has been an old favourite of mine for decades. No disappointment here either. Realism of the a cappella "Tom's Diner" was stunning as usual. Remember, this vocal track was used to "fine-tune" the development of the MP3 codec back in the day since it can be challenging to get the nuances of well-recorded vocals right. Channel balance is also important in this track to keep the voice central since there are no instruments to detract from the singular performance. The Spotify app works well as expected. Nothing special to report... Sounds fine. V. Conclusions As a Samsung Note large-screen phone, this baby is fast, has 4GB RAM, and can handle whatever LTE Advanced (450Mbps) network you might want to throw at it. The screen is gorgeous so long as you desire the larger size of course! This screen size is great as an all-in-one "phablet". Plus the S-Pen works really well to jot the occasional note or doodle. And for those wondering, the USB data transfer speed is about 19MB/s copying music to storage (vs. 4MB/s with PonoPlayer). Remember that unlike previous Note phones, this one does away with the removable battery and microSD slot. Non-replaceable battery is typical these days but my feeling is that the loss of the SD slot is a bit unfortunate since it would be nice to store more music or movies on the machine itself with an interchangeable card. Consider getting the 64GB model if you intend to store a bunch of media. Do not underestimate the power of streaming of course! Just make sure you have a good data plan if you're going to be consuming a bunch of lossless audio or video... Now as for the audio performance, let's say it's more than adequate for me personally as a portable music player. Remember, I'm pragmatic about portable audio. Even if the player outputs the most accurate sound possible, I do not believe I'm actually going to be able to appreciate this with headphones sitting on the subway, taking the bus, or walking down the street - 256kbps MP3 sounds great. Lossless is overkill for me in these settings (no need to even mention 24-bits or 88+kHz sampling rate)! I guess I might appreciate lossless better in the quiet of my own home at night with the kids asleep but frankly speaking, as much as I've invested in headphones over the years, no headphone can take the place of real speakers recreating the soundstage in front of me for high-fidelity enjoyment. Personal preferences aside, the objective results from the headphone output of this phone is excellent with standard measurements. It can handle high-resolution audio all the way to 24/192 and is capable of >16-bit audio resolution. However, if we only use standard test signals, we would miss out on the issue with the noise floor and effective loss of dynamic range as shown in the digital filters FFT's in Part I. Unfortunately we see limitations of the digital filter (fixed-point overload/overflow?). You can read more about the technical details and pitfalls of digital filters here (BTW: for DIY guys, here's an interesting blog post with lots of filter settings/coefficients to test out with the Soekris R-2R DAC). Honestly, I'm not sure I can hear this effect through my headphones with the music selection I listened to. I e-mailed JR_Audio about this and he likened the effect to a lossy codec - the more complex and higher the signal level the more low level details will lose definition... Again, not the kind of thing I want to see with "high fidelity" audio in my main system, but it seems fine for my portable needs. I suppose listening tests with real music would be interesting (like maybe equalizing the volume and using a headphone amp with multiple inputs doing quick A/B switching between this device and something that has better filters that do not overload). If anyone has more technical info / experience with this kind of effect, let me know! Audiophiles... Here is an audio device that's modern with all the bells and whistles, sounds good subjectively, measures reasonably well overall (with the digital filter limitation caveat of course), and doubles as your PDA / personal communication device :-). If the iPhone 6 and now the Note 5 are examples of objective improvements in devices yet to come, I'd say that the needs of audiophiles will be well taken care of in the days ahead. Enjoy! PS: I'm now very curious about the digital filter FFTs and will try running a few of these tests with the iPhone, Nexus 5, etc... Addendum: January 30, 2016 Measured the output impedance - using 1kHz signal and 20-ohm load. 1.3-ohms - good.

Does this imply that the resolution of the phone's DAC dives from 18.5 to 15 bits when playing test signals and even lower when playing real music? What about the 16/44 FLAC files, does it goes from 16 to 12.5 bits? Aside from this, can you please help me understand how do you evaluate if the Google Play Music app is bit-perfect? I am using VLC Media Player and want to know if it - or any other app for that matter - is bit-perfect. Keep doing this great job! This blog educated me more than anything else I read in the last 2 decades! ReplyDelete Replies Archimago 6 September 2015 at 17:04 Hi Gok. Yes, clearly the 2-tone signal is demonstrating a rise in the noise floor to about -135dB at the base. As an extremely gross "back of the napkin" calculation... The peak 19&20kHz tones are -6dB themselves so there is a (135-20)+6 = 121dB (20-bit) spread maximal and if you look at including the noise peaks, saying that -120dB is the actual base noise floor, then the spread becomes (120-20)+6 = 106dB (~17.5-bit)... The RightMark DR measurement is done with a single tone I believe and that's why we're seeing a relatively high 18.5-bit result which makes it look better than the ~17.5 with the 2 tones. As for real music, this would be hard to estimate! We can say that with a highly complex 0dBFS white noise, the noise floor goes as high as (95-20)+6 = (-)81dB (~13.5-bits) as an estimate based on that FFT graph... This is the worst case scenario though. I did run some 16-bit signals through and noise floor looks about the same so when playing 16-bit audio, it is capable of full 16-bit resolution and down to 13.5-bits with loud white noise. I believe Google Play Music is bit perfect with EQ and DSP off. Reason I believe this is because in the 16-bit Dunn J-Test, I can still make out the jitter modulation pattern out of the noise floor (hard to see in the picture above but easily seen in "real-time" when looking at the FFT on the computer). This indicates that the 16th bit LSB is being retained by the player software. Have not tested VLC on my phone. Will let you know if I do! Delete Replies Reply Reply JR_Audio 7 September 2015 at 00:07 3 Points I am a bit in hurry today, so only very short additions / explanations: 1. RMAA does calculate the dynamic range with a - 60 dBFS 1 kHz sine wave signal and this does not stress the digital filter at all and so the noise level is very close to the digital silence noise level. 2. When reading the numbers / value of level of the white noise in FFT graphs, you have to take the bin width (and fft window) into account. So reading noise levels at around - 130 dB at the 16 bit RMAA measurements are similar to - 97 dBFS RMS values (about 32 dB shift (as a rule of thumb with this FFTs here). 3. Bit True: I am sorry to say, but looking at the 16 Bit LSBs in the J-Test is by far not "good enough" to tell if something is bit true or not (it is only valid to tell if 16 bit are transfered). Better would be the "Dolby" or "DTS" or "HDCD" test (play back those files natively and look if the decoder to indicate those files correctly). Juergen ReplyDelete Replies Archimago 7 September 2015 at 07:55 Thanks for the details & tips Juergen :-). About point 3, I'll see if I can run the digital output through my receiver to decode DD/DTS using an OTG cable and my CM6631A USB to SPDIF device. If at 100% volume and Android is bitperfect, I should see a 16-bit DD/DTS signal decoded properly... (Ref to the CM6631A: http://archimago.blogspot.ca/2013/03/measurements-adaptive-aune-x1.html) BTW: I will have to wait a little bit for this test first though. My Onkyo TX-NR1009 developed a faulty HDMI board. Apparently quite common with the 2009-2012 receivers they make and they're aware and extending warranties to 2018 on these: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/90-receivers-amps-processors/1652514-onkyo-acknowledges-failed-units-extending-warrranties-until-2018-a.html Appreciate "manning up" on the issue... Despite the hassle... Delete Replies Reply Archimago 8 September 2015 at 22:50 Just a quick update on this. Got the CM6631A device to work via an OTG USB cable, using USB Audio Player PRO on the phone and trying to send a FLAC DTS signal to my old Denon receiver thru TosLink. So far, no luck on DTS playback... Hmmm, perhaps Juergen is right, bit-perfect isn't something achievable at this time with the the Android OS'es. It is processing the 16-bit signal hence I see the modulation pattern in the last bit, but it's still going through a high precision mixer in the process. I've looked around and have not been able to find much on this with Android OS'es... Anyone know if "bit true" output is achievable in the sense of sending out the unadulterated 16/24-bit "integer" data? Delete Replies Reply JR_Audio 9 September 2015 at 04:45 Cross Checked with iOS? Hi Archimago. Have you / could you cross-check your method / setup with an iOS device? With newer iOS Devices (iPhone, iPad, ...) and Onkyo HD Player, I can play up to DXD (PCM 352,8 kHz 24 Bit) and 2xDSD (DSD128) natively via CCK (camera connection kit) into an external DAC with ease. Juergen Delete Replies Reply Archimago 9 September 2015 at 20:41 Hi Juergen, I'll give this a try when I can :-). Problem is I gave away the old iPhone 4, I don't have a Lightning CCK cable for my wife's iPhone 6, and my ancient 1st gen iPad doesn't run the latest Onkyo HD Player! Delete Replies Reply Reply Steven 10 September 2015 at 10:13 FWIW on Window devices you need a player that can access ASIO or WASAPi output modes in order to bypass the Windows mixer and pass bit-perfect streams (i.e., to pass DTS or Dolby Digital bitstreams to an AVR for decoding). Don't know what would work on an Android device. ReplyDelete Replies Reply BJRMD 23 November 2015 at 14:20 Don't give up your Nexus 5 yet. Still some optimization left for noise/THD at lower gain settings: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/qualcomm-gain-control-t3253957 ReplyDelete Replies Reply Add comment Load more...

Iron Maiden vs. The Beatles - Raffy Banks Articles Newsletter About marketing Iron Maiden vs. The Beatles Posted by raffybanks on Jan 25, 2019 Not everyone who likes The Beatles is a fanatic. Most people don’t own a single album of theirs but rather a handful of singles. Every fan of Iron Maiden, on the other hand, is a die-hard fanatic. They own every album. They watch every video. They go to every concert. You have two choices when engaging with the market. Try to be the first, hoping to connect with everyone. Identify and connect with a specific group of people. Commitment There’s a reason Iron Maiden has released thirty-eight albums. There’s a reason they’ve sold more than 100 million copies worldwide. (Pretty remarkable considering few people anyone of know is a fan.) It’s because they’re committed to Iron Maiden and their fans. Nothing will get in their way from serving either. I you identify with a group of people, then committing to them is easy. You’re already one of them so it’s just a matter of being yourself around them, but with the added duty of serving and leading them.

You’ve set up a Wi-Fi router (perhaps using the instructions in our preivous article) but the signal just won’t reach everwhere in your house. Perhaps you have a lot of connected devices — some homes can have 10 or more between phones, video game systems, PCs, Macs and even toys. Perhap you’re in an apartment complex and everyone else that has Wi-Fi is clogging up the 2.4Ghz band, the standard frequency for wireless Internet. Here are some solutions for alleviating Wi-Fi range and strength issues and making sure you’re getting the full Internet you’re paying for, even if you’re nowhere near a hardline. Buy a dual-band router The first solution is to either add on a dual-band router into your existing Internet provider’s setup and use that wireless router instead of your ISP’s wireless solution. The guide I mentioned above covers these sorts of two-device setups. Dual band means that the router broadcasts on both the typical 2.4Ghz frequency, and a 5Ghz frequency with a shorter range. If you’re in the same room or in an adjacent room to your router, the 5Ghz band will provide strong, steady, interference-free Internet. (This helps with the quality of your connection, but doesn’t do anything about boosting your range. More on that later.) Also, sticking to a Wireless-N or the newer Wireless-AC router means that you’re taking advantage of the very latest technology for maximum speed and throughput. Keep in mind that very few devices support AC just yet, but it’s coming. Increase the wireless strength in the router setup The previous article we mentioned goes into Wi-Fi router setup — usually involving entering 192.168.1.1 in your browser. There’s almost always an option for boosting the wireless signal strength — it’s set to medium to save on energy, but if you’re not getting any kind of range, select the maximum level, save, and restart your router. Hack an old router to act as a repeater This step is a little more involved, but if you have another wireless router in the home that you’re not using — say, an old Wireless-G router in the garage that still works — it’s not that difficult to add custom firmware to the device that turns it into a repeater, a device that takes the existing wireless signal and gives it more range. You can also plug devices into this repeater and get the same speed without using the devices’ Wi-Fi at all. Here’s a lengthy tutorial that goes into detail on adding custom firmware to an old router. Buy a Wi-Fi range extender device On Amazon or your favorite Fry’s or other electronics store, you can pick up an extender device for $25 to $90. These devices do a great job of amplifying your existing wireless signal throughout your home. If you’ve got multiple floors, thick walls or other obstructing devices, an extender might be just what you need. Setting one of these up is as easy as the router itself. These extender devices can plug right into your home outlet. Make a Wi-Fi range extender from things in your home Of course, you can also life-hack and extend the wireless signal in your home by making an antenna booster out of household items. This PCMag Youtube tutorial shows you how to do so with some aluminum foil and a print-out template. You can also do this with a Pringles can. Regardless of the approach you take, you should enjoy a stronger and faster wireless signal. You’re paying for Internet; why not get the maximum benefit from it? Was this post helpful?

CLOSE Jackson restaurateur Jeff Good talks about the partnership with Choctaw farmers that will deliver boxes of fresh produce to local customers. Joe Ellis/The Clarion-Ledger

The Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians is expanding its fresh produce initiative to Jackson.
Choctaw Fresh Produce started enrolling members March 3 and has topped 40, said Dick Hoy, Choctaw Fresh Produce's general manager. Enrollment will stop once membership in the community-supported agriculture program reaches 100, he said.
For $396, members in the Jackson area can pick up a half-bushel box of chemical-free produce grown in high tunnels — a form of greenhouse — every week at Broad Street Baking Co. and Cafe in Banner Hall. A membership lasts for 12 weeks. Ideally, Jackson would have between 80 and 100 members; the reservation would have between 25 and 30, Hoy said.
Nonprofits like food pantries and those with a medical mission such as eliminating diabetes have already bought memberships, Hoy said.
Hoy said delivery should start April 9 "if the weather cooperates" with the produce's growing season.
The reusable boxes will have between eight and 10 items per week. Standards like tomatoes, spinach, green onions, eggplant, watermelon and sweet corn will join kale, Asian greens, bok choy and kohlrabi.
There's no financial incentive for Broad Street serving as the pick-up location, managing partner Jeff Good said. Instead, it will serve as part of Soul City Hospitality, a venture Good and a handful of other restaurateurs recently started that aims to help local farmers get their produce to market. "This is a perfect fit for that mission," Good said. "This is the first of what we hope will be a series of food access promotions and partnerships which will increase the availability of high quality, fresh produce for the people who live and work in our community."
Choctaw Fresh Produce started in 2012, with the goal of providing fresh produce to tribal members with a healthy eating bent. The initiative built a collection of high tunnels to grow the produce. Like greenhouses, high tunnels use sunlight to warm their interior faster than heat can escape but are cheaper to build. Irrigation systems are often included with the structures. Yields are generally higher and the growing season is longer for vegetables planted under a high tunnel.
That upfront investment has spurred the expansion of Choctaw Fresh Produce into Jackson, Hoy said.
"We always had intended on heading in that direction. We got to the size we felt like we could reach out to other people and expand the market and try different opportunities."
Community-supported agriculture programs first surfaced in the early 1980s, created to secure a fresh supply of fruits and vegetables from local farms. The local sourcing and fixed-price memberships eliminate costs like overseas shipping, cut down on unsafe handling practices, and offer food grown without chemicals like fertilizer and pesticides.
"This allows us to get our members our highest-quality produce in a convenient way," Hoy said.
Items offered by Choctaw Fresh Produce
•Vine-ripened tomatoes
•Collard greens
•Tomato berries
•Kale
•Asian greens
•Sweet corn
•Radish
•Bok choy
•Romaine lettuce
•Baby spinach

I love this smartwatch. Pity they sold to Fitbit.
I've only ever owned Pebble Smartwatches, mainly because I value the battery life, Android compatibility, and reliable notifications they typically have. I loved the design of the Pebble Time Round, but it's battery life was barely 2 days and recharging it was unreliable. The Pebble Time had much better battery, but was bulkier and would frequently reboot (might be why I got it so cheap as a refurb). After nearly a month, I can say these have not been issues with the Pebble 2. Sure, I don't get the color screen of the Time, nor the stylish look of the Round, but for sheer utilitarian function in a minimalist, long lasting (nearly a week between charges), and well-built (waterproof) package, I couldn't be happier. If you are looking to dip your toe in the smartwatch waters, it is hard to beat the last generation Pebble. It is just a shame they will never have the chance to realize the future smartwatch designs they had in mind.Read full review

When Rood love goes bad | No Question About That Episodes Where can I listen? Patreon Newsletter Forum Episodes Where can I listen? Patreon Newsletter Forum When Rood love goes bad October 19, 2010 by Ed Articles Wayne Rooney When Luis Figo swapped Barcelona for Real Madrid in 2000, Los Cules‘ supporters responded with a barrage of apples, oranges and, famously, a pig’s head when the Portuguese winger later returned. High in the Camp Nou stands a banner proclaimed “We hate you so much because we loved you so much.” Such is the nature of fandom. Welcome to the hate club, Wayne Rooney. A hero to many in the Catalan capital, Figo represented the hope of late ’90s Barça to supersede their hated rivals. To Real, Figo was simply a pawn in Florentino Perez’ Gallacticos Mark I. Barça received a world record £38 million fee but nothing could compensate for the humiliation. Rooney has not yet taken the fateful step of joining rivals Manchester City but after Sir Alex Ferguson’s extraordinary Old Trafford press conference today, it seems more likely than ever. “I had a meeting with him, and he intimated to me, in his own way, that he wanted to leave,” Ferguson said in a packed Old Trafford conference suite. “We had a discussion about the whole situation. I said ‘the only thing I want from you Wayne is to respect and honour the club’s position and its traditions and behave like a proper professional and we will try and see it through’. “I don’t know that he has done that.” The temptation in such a scenario is to say the player has already struck a deal with City, much as Figo did with Los Merengues a decade ago. After all, Rooney it has emerged, told United of his intention to break off contract negotiations on 14 August. Just months earlier the player had asked to stay at United for life. Money always talks. Whatever Rooney’s eventual destination, with Real Madrid and Chelsea the only other realistic options in the world game, he can no longer stay at Old Trafford after Ferguson’s comments today. Perhaps not even past the January transfer window, even if Rooney attempts to draw a line under the week’s events. Today’s conference was remarkable not solely for the dramatic developments but the manner in which Rooney’s take on events – at least that of his camp’s briefings in the past 48 hours – were deconstructed by the United manager. It was masterful stuff from Ferguson. No, Rooney and the manager haven’t fallen out. Yes, David Gill has offered the player a new deal. Yes, Rooney was injured despite conjecture to the contrary. No, the striker hasn’t respected the club’s history and traditions. Should Rooney switch to City, whose ambitions and financial clout now far exceed that at United under the Glazer regime, the humiliation will be replete. Perhaps even more so than that caused by Figo years ago. United supporters though are more prone to dismiss those who turn their back on the club, rather than hate. Not that the Red masses have much experience in this regard. Certainly the venom that will head Rooney’s way should the former Evertonian join City in January is unlikely to be as anywhere near as crude as that meted out to Sol Campbell. Tottenham Hotpsur fans use of crude homophobic chanting at their former captain after the defender’s move to Arsenal in 2001, will find no repeat at Old Trafford. Nor will any decapitated farmyard animals, fruit, eggs or other missiles, find their way onto the pitch, although a United fan was arrested with darts and golf balls bound for Carlos Tevez’ head at Eastlands last season. United supporters though, in common with most, are fickle. Love has turned to hate in an instant. Gary Neville once said that United is a cynical club; former players are forgotten in an instant. There is an element of truth but the greats are not forgotten. Rooney, along with Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and Neville himself of the current generation, could have join that élite clique. It’s a history that Rooney has seemingly forgotten. “This is a club which bases all its history and its tradition on the loyalty and trust between managers and players and the club,” added Ferguson. “That goes back to the days of Sir Matt. That’s what it’s founded on. Wayne’s been a beneficiary of this help, just as Ryan Giggs, Paul Scholes and all the players have been.” Rooney had seemed to get it; United, the history, tradition and meaning of being part of the club. How wrong this assessment turned out to be. Greed, it seems, and the player’s more base instincts have eradicated any hope of Rooney joining that pantheon. Meanwhile, Rooney may not appear for the club again unless his ‘people’ can turn the media agenda round. On current form the England international does not merit a place in the first team squad anyway. An ironic training ground injury has put paid to any chance of Rooney appearing against Bursaspor at Old Trafford on Wednesday night in any case. Yet, there is still pressure for United to own a marketable asset for the next three months. United can hardly command Ronaldo-esque fees if the institutional memory is of a player who, to paraphrase the great George Best, traps the ball further than most players pass it. Rooney’s personal marketability – unless he has already done the deal with City – is certainly lessened if he does not play again until January. Is playing a palatable solution? Hardly. Realistic? Perhaps. What is unacceptable is a media-driven war of words, with Rooney’s camp leading an attack on the club’s manager. Such a lack of dignity United supporters will never accept, although it remains likely. Meanwhile, the marketing department has begun the transition already, removing Rooney’s image from Old Trafford’s East Stand façade. The show must go on. Just not with Rooney as its most prominent face. Picture: @danroan Back 57 thoughts on “When Rood love goes bad” Bill says: October 19, 2010 at 8:25 pm You can take the man out of Liverpool…. Reply Manchester United #1 says: October 19, 2010 at 8:39 pm Screw the bastard, if he wants to be a greedy mercenary and maybe join a small club (Man C) with no hope of success or head for Spain than fine. I have never been a big Rooney fan anyway, but I throught he wanted to stay here forever and now he reveals himself for what he truly is, a disrespectful piece of shit who disrespected Manchester United, Sir Alex and us supporters. Sell him to Real Madrid for £60m+ and buy Luis Suarez and Alexis Sanchez. I will always support Manchester United and Sir Alex. Reply El Tel says: October 19, 2010 at 8:55 pm If you’re not such a big fan why do you seem so upset.??? Reply chintogtokh says: October 20, 2010 at 8:37 am Because we are fans of the club first and foremost. Reply Manchester United #1 says: October 19, 2010 at 8:48 pm One more thing, it doesn’t matter how much Man C owners have as their ambitions wll never match that of Manchester Uniteds, We are everything they can only dream of and know will never be. We have lost better than Rooney (alot better), United will easily survive without this Liverpoolian backstabbing scumbag of a mercenary, he was clearly scared of our mexican superstar Chicharito and the in-form Berbatov. £60m+ and good riddance fat pig, we should buy Suarez and Sanchez in January. Reply Pablos says: October 19, 2010 at 9:01 pm From a Liverpool fans perspective I’m very surprised Michael Owen hasn’t had a strong word in Rooneys ear about the grass been greener and all that. Had yourselves not rescued Owens career he could well be plying his trade with the likes of Bolton Wanderers by now. It would be a huge blow to the Premier League were he to go abroad. Reply Dom says: October 19, 2010 at 9:07 pm Nice summary. Never a dull moment to be a United fan… Reply ody says: October 19, 2010 at 9:15 pm Ed, life goes on, MANUTD can do without Rooney, without any f***ING merchenary. Unfortunately, all loyalty pledges was for the cash, all the badge kissing its a big acting for the “naive” funs. I’m very sad, because i could not see this coming. Even CR7 was had more class. F**OFF Rooney Reply vlad says: October 19, 2010 at 9:24 pm Can it be that it is not money on Rooney’s mind? Can it be that he is a human being and a man? That personal problems lie behind his decision just to change his life – in the dramatic way? Like Zidane’s headbutt? If so, he won’t be going to Shity and he won’t stay in Manchester. Italy? Benitez? Ed, that’s a brilliant article. Reply JD says: October 19, 2010 at 9:27 pm It’s COMplete. Not REplete. The humiliation will be COMPLETE. Yours, P. Dant Reply Ed says: October 19, 2010 at 9:32 pm JD – nope, I meant REPLETE. As in full, engorged, total, or sated! It will also be complete as well but that’s not quite what I meant in terms of City’s desire for humiliation 🙂 Reply Manchester United #1 (Rooney fears Chicharito) says: October 19, 2010 at 9:32 pm It is about the MONEY with Rooney, he is at the worlds biggest football club and was offered a nice new deal worth apparently around £130-150k per wk which is up from his current £90k awk, which is a good deal to stay here at footballs heaven, but that “man” is all about the ££££ and wants to go somewhere else for no real reason at all, sell him to Real or Barca for £60m+ and he can enjoy the €€€€ in Spain whiles we continue to roll on as normal. NOBODY IS BIGGER THAN MANCHESTER UNITED. Reply Ivor Hardy says: October 19, 2010 at 9:40 pm Seems like he has had a deal done a while with City,must admit i find it hard to believe,we’re going to miss him no doubt but cant see a way back for him now. Have to tell me 3 year old that its his Man Utd shirt now and not his Rooney one,a sad day. Might explain why Tevez is so “disillusioned” with football at the moment,won’t be the top dog for much longer.. Reply Pingback: Wayne Rooney is leaving Manchester United « Catch me if you can Stephen Morris says: October 19, 2010 at 9:45 pm I am doing my best not to be bitter but it seems obvious he has been tapped up. Not as if we haven’t been guilty of that ourselves in the past. Saddest part is that it is evidence that we really are losing our status as THE big club in English football. By the way, I though Sir Alex was at his brilliant best today. Full of dignity and didn’t stoop to low end tactics. Class is permanent and Wayne appears to have very little. Reply Tufty says: October 19, 2010 at 9:48 pm The reason the posters came off the front of East Stand, is due to the Champioen league game tomorrow night. No Nike, Utd sponsors etc are allowed to be up in the ground or outside. These posters always come off. PS- Rooney is still a Utd player.

I really can’t see him succeeding at Real. On the other hand, he’s only freaking 24 and he’s been through a shitstorm. I wouldn’t rule out having him come to his senses and make good here with us. A few choice goals would end the boos. Reply Alfonso Bedoya says: October 19, 2010 at 10:43 pm After the world cup, “winking” nonsense… Ronaldo nearly bailed, but Ferguson brought him round… and he came back awesome… Ronaldo seemed to thrive on the abuse, and pressure. Rooney on the other hand… (if this prozzy scandal, has had anything to do with his shit form), doesn’t do so well. Look at his rant at the camera, after the booing of the England team. If Rooney does leave United, which now looks certain… he’d be wise to leave England, cause I don’t think he’ll cope playing for another PL team… he will get slaughtered at every away game, and his temperment won’t handle it. Just imagine the pressure of joing the Bitters, on £200K+ a week… getting dogs abuse, game after game… if you’re not playing well… and Rooney hasn’t been playing well… and he’s not going to get his game back in a United shirt… is he?

Reply Moja says: October 20, 2010 at 12:39 am He might have disrepected the club, but we still have to play him. He’s still our best player, and we don’t want his value to go down. The way I see it, all people are entitled to leave their place of work if they’ve had enough. I’m just not happy with the way Rooney contradicted Sir Alex Ferguson regarding his ankle injury. Ferguson asked him to respect the traditions of our club, and it looks like Rooney’s failed to do so. Reply herbie simms says: October 20, 2010 at 1:30 am This is the main BBC news station.

But you know, if Mourinho was ever to become the manager,he normally takes his star players with him. But if Rooney does leave, SAF may finally buy at least one world class player. We will see what team he puts out against Bursapor. Reply Manchester United #1 (Rooney fears Chicharito) says: October 20, 2010 at 3:34 am Sell the backstabber for £60m+ and bring in Luis Suarez, Alexis Sanchez, Steven Defour and maybe try for Gigi Buffon. If Rooney wants to leave for MONEY, win nothing and spend the next 10-15yrs wishing he never left Manchester United than fine, I hope he suffers. Bring in Suarez, Sanchez, Defour and Buffon, these 4 would be great here and add more quality to our great squad. I was never big on Rooney anyway and he will not be missed, we have lost far better and kept winning, trust in ManUtd and Fergie. Reply herbie simms says: October 20, 2010 at 3:49 am Luis Suarez and Alexis Sanchez would be great buys! My midfield playmaker would be Douglas Costa. SAF has brought these names up already and he is also saying he is monitoring the siuation with Torres at Liverpool. Would need another strong midfielder as a replacment for Hardgreaves. A similar type player as Hardgreaves. Really don’t know how much money SAF is going to spend on players. GLAZERS need all the money they can get to pay off debts.

Reply Ryan The Devil says: October 20, 2010 at 4:02 am This time next year, he’ll be slobbering over another badge and saying how he wants to stay for life. This is what makes players like Giggs and Scholes all the more precious. They could have had their choice of clubs, but chose to stay and serve the club that made them. It’s that kind of loyalty that makes them legends and ensures that they’ll forever be part of the club’s fabric and entrenched in supporters’ hearts. And as for Rooney?“We hate you so much because we loved you so much.” Reply herbie simms says: October 20, 2010 at 4:09 am Last comment, Iam just hearing more news from BBC and they are now saying that Man United were raising Rooney’s salary from 100,000 pounds a week to 160,0000 pounds a week. But Rooney’s agent has influenced him not to sign the new deal because Man City are offering to pay him 250,000 pounds a week. Iam definately in the wrong business. I think I will start training myself and play football. All this money being thrown about, if Rooney does go, than his heart and loyalty was not for Man Utd. Just another glory hunter. Those Stoke fans better not get their hopes up because these young players are coming and their hungry. They will be up for this away game. Reply Alfonso Bedoya says: October 20, 2010 at 5:28 am http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-1321997/Martin-Samuel-Why-Wayne-Rooney-NOT-Manchester-City.html Decent enough article… but the point that jumped out was this… “That was before the ramifications of the Webster ruling became apparent. In 2006, Andy Webster, a defender with Heart of Midlothian, proved the right according to Article 17 of FIFA’s transfer rules, to walk away from a contract by buying out the remainder of the term. Any player who signed a deal before the age of 28 is entitled to do this after three years. Rooney could in effect buy out his Manchester United contract for £5m and a nominal fee this summer and jump over the fence at the Carrington training ground complex into the arms of City next door. There is supposed to be an unwritten agreement among members of the European Club Association that they will not exploit the Webster ruling loophole, yet this did not stop Trabzonspor of Turkey employing Tony Sylva from French club Lille in 2008, nor did it prevent the move of Jonas Gutierrez from Real Mallorca to Newcastle United. Unwritten agreements, as any lawyer will tell you, are not worth the paper they are not written on. Quite how David Gill, the chief executive of Manchester United, missed this trick is a mystery. It has been suggested that any tardiness in getting Rooney signed long term came from the top at Old Trafford. In which case, it was surely Gill’s job to bring the Webster ruling to the attention of the board and make it plain how vulnerable the club would be if it entered this season with Rooney unsecured. Even if Manchester United were now to try to sell in the January transfer window, they would be offered a greatly inferior price by suitors who know the player can be put on the market as a free agent in the summer for roughly what Chelsea paid Liverpool for Yossi Benayoun.” Exactly right… why the fuck was this ever allowed to happen?

Reply Onside says: October 20, 2010 at 7:09 am As much as I’m on United/SAF’s side on this matter, Fergie can’t be complaining about the lack of respect that Rooney is showing. What goes around comes around, is the saying: Back in 2006, SAF could easily have sold Ruud just like millions of teams sell millions of players. But Fergie had to humiliate Ruud for the last 3-4 months, keeping him on the bench, exposing him to one indignity after another. There was no need for that disrespect, Fergie.

Reply Triggs says: October 20, 2010 at 10:32 am Everything points towards Rooney already being tapped up by City. Fergie said a couple of times “I’m bemused, I don’t understand it”. If he was going abroad for a change, to challenge himself – Fergie would understand that. The fucker’s going to City. It’s all about money. This is the last chance to get huge wages – even bigger than Yaya Toure’s – as these kind of wages will end when the new finanical fair play rules come in. The Rooney Camp will try to spin this as United declining and City rising – and Rooney is merely ambitious, but it’s not that at all. The only way that could be true is if the Club were unable to guarantee future investment or if he knows that Fergie is leaving very soon. I’m pretty sure he’ll stew on the bench from now on and leave in January. What effect will this have on United and Fergie? Will this fire the team or will it make performances even more lacklustre? Equally, will Fergie react to this challenge and seek to put it right (on the pitch and in the transfer market) and leave United still strong? Or will he feel like he’s done with this game now and things will slowly decline further? Reply Brown says: October 20, 2010 at 10:42 am Football has changed a whole lot since the stoneages. Players dont seem to have any loyalty towards clubs anymore, especially united. Hasnt anyone noticed,that its been so difficult for united to attract even young and promising players,take the case Aaron ramsey,Gareth bale, Modric…etc…etc Rooney has the right to make any decision he wants to better his life, his family and his football career. If he thinks going to someother club would be best for him, sure he can live; we have done well without great players in the past. But i think utd has to address the underlying situation, how come we are not attracting classy players anymore, Snider a good example. We now compete with forgive me to use the word mediocre teams for players. were are the men in utd, the leaders, the characters, the headliners, the players with GUTS,the Cantonas, the Robsons, the Keanes.Please turn your eyes to chelsea and man city and you will see them.

Reply herbie simms says: October 20, 2010 at 1:28 pm Mancini has not had any talks with Rooney. Its the owner of Man City coming out and saying he is willing to offer 50 million pounds to bring ROONEY to Man City. The owneris also saying how much he admired Rooney and that this signing would be just what City needs. I do believe that Rooney’s wife is encouraging him also to go after this big money. No disrespect to his wife but my wife would be the same. I read also that Rooney was upset with David Gill, but the article is not giving all the facts. Chelsea now are also interested and Real Madrid also, but they are willing to do business next summer. These other clubs are looking to buy him in the January transfer window. United will not get 50 million if they wait until the summer. There is a another rumor saying Rooney’s wife would really like to move to London. Reply Alfonso Bedoya says: October 20, 2010 at 6:49 pm For players like Giggs, Scholes, Gerrard, Del Piero, Maldini, etc… it’s not JUST about loyalty… it’s also ideal that they’re playing for the club they’d support as a fan… plus there’s an element of personal character about it as well. Giggs and Scholes could have found bigger pay packets, if they looked elsewhere, but both solved the simple question.. just how much money do you need to be happy?… there are more important aspects to a content life… they’re both financially set for life, and will retire with the utmost respect of all, even opposition fans… look at Del Piero… stuck with Juventus, even after their demotion to the knackers yard… he’ll go down as one of Juves all time favourite sons. Players like that are becoming more and more rare.

As for the rest, I take the man at his word. United totally lack ambition at the moment, and after two summers, it’s obvious we aren’t going to buy anyone, will struggle in the league and have little chance of winning the CL. Why stay on such a team, if you are a fierce competitor? And the rot will only get worse. Giggs, Scholes and Neville — and perhaps Rio — are essentially done as players. Anyone see any moves to replace them? I don’t. So I blame this fiasco on the Glazers, pure and simple. And Fergie’s reluctance to use his stature to take them on (and he could do), is another factor.

The extra £100k a week City will give won’t seem worth it when his son is a teenager and hates his dad for fucking prozzies while he was in the womb.

That’s a stupid argument. Fans give footballers everything they have: they give money to the club and the club gives it to the player. We’re realistic, players move, it’s a tough business. But when a player shoves our noses in it like Rooney is doing, telling us basically we’re stupid arseholes for ever paying any money or caring about the club as more than a business, he should be called out on it. Reply SKW says: October 23, 2010 at 4:26 am It’s not a “stupid” argument, it’s one based in reality. Players care about money, just like everyone else. What we expect, what we hope is that they care about MORE than just the money — and in Rooney’s case, I think it’s undeniable that he cares about the club, the fans and is a competitor who wants to win. And being such, I take the man at his word. Rooney apparently was concerned about languishing at a club whose ambitions are not the same as when he came to United from Everton. I remember signing Rooney and thinking that is the kind of buy we should be making. Can you imagine such a signing today? I can’t. And neither can Roo. What’s more, as many have pointed out, the writing is on the wall. Scholes and Giggs cannot keep carrying the midfield and we have no big players in the offing to replace them. Is this team going to get better without some MAJOR purchases. I don’t think so. Reply bman says: October 21, 2010 at 6:03 am I actually think it’s a stupid choice on Rooney’s part. His agent will make a killing from his transfer to City, but financially Rooney’s going to be worse off. When the prostitute story broke he should have called it off, put his head down, and made a new deal with United. Now he’s just told the world that he’s not only the world’s worst dad, he’s a mercenary asshole too. Not that non-United supporters care much, but they’re not going to think much of him for it, and his England performances have been so bad that there’s no good will there he can rely on. City’s fans will love having him because they can rub our noses in it, but they won’t love the player, just what he represents. In the long run then, I think Rooney’s going to lose a lot more money from sponsorships than he’ll get from City’s wages.

(Columbidae - Please see also Doves)
Tumbler Pigeons have been named for their ability to spin and "tumble" in flight. This fascinating trait has been reported in domestic pigeons for centuries and is believed to be a survival skill that these birds developed to evade aerial attacks by birds of prey.
This skill was then further refined by selectively breeding particularly talented Rock Pigeons until the official breed "Tumbler Pigeons" was born. To this day, this breed is still considered an evolving breed, as pigeon fanciers work to perfect their tumbling abilities as well as other desirable features, such as coloration of their plumage and other physical features.
These fascinating pigeons are often presented at events to perform flying demonstrations - both to show of the pigeon fanciers' training abilities as well as to increase awareness and interest in the breed..
Tumbler Pigeons have been around since before the 1500's and nowadays can be found around the world. These birds are favorites at pigeon shows, as they perform in mid-air, tumbling or rolling over backwards, or side to side. Theseunique aerobatic summersaults are sure to delight and entertain those that get to watch these spectacles. Some well-trained birds have been reported to be able to fly more than 8 to 10 hours. In recent history, they have also grown in popularity as pets due in large part to their personality and antics.
The homing abilities have been deemphasized over time and are, therefore, under-developed compared to Homing Pigeons.
This being said, many original "tumbler" pigeons are nowadays mostly used as show breeds, and some argue, many have lost some of their tumbling capabilities as more importance was placed on their physical characteristics (colors, forms) when selecting breeding birds rather than their aerial abilities.
Description
Tumbler Pigeons occur in a wide variety of specialty breeds, plumage colors, body types, as well as feather configurations. Plumage colors: These birds come in different plumage colors, such as blue, black, brown and white. The head is round, with a forehead that appears to be protuding a bit if compared to the regular pigeons. The beak can be of short or medium length. Its color varies by the color of the pigeon. The cere (fleshy skin above the beak) is round in shape. The neck is usually thick. It shouldn't be too short. The primaries (= longest wing feathers) should be long and well-built to enable them to undertake long flights. The eye color also varies, but pearl-colored or yellow eyes are preferred in some breeds.
Successfully keeping tumbler pigeon:
Housing:
They require a well-built pigeon loft that allows them to get out and about as they wish to fly, or to return to their home loft to feed, find protection from adverse weather conditions, and give them a safe place to reproduce.
Feeding
Tumblers are not picky as far as food is concerned. They willingly accept a variety of fruits, vegetables, grains, seeds and pellets. Some breeders supplement their diet with grits / gravel, vitamins and calcium. It is important not to overfeed them or they will become obese and lose interest in performing. The amount of food varies by size of the pigeon and the kind of food they are given. Many commercial pigeon feeds are available. If performance and good health is a high priority, a good quality feed is necessary. Water is essential for good health as well as condition of their plumage. Fresh and clean water needs to be available throughout the day.

• 27-year-old signs four-year deal with Ukrainian club • Say last two years at Spurs were 'quite disappointing'
Niko Kranjcar has completed his transfer from Tottenham Hotspur to Dynamo Kyiv for a fee reported to be £5.5m.
The 27-year-old midfielder revealed on Wednesday that Tottenham had reached an agreement with Dynamo over a deal, and his new employers confirmed the transfer in a statement on their website.
"After successful negotiations, Niko Kranjcar has signed a four-year contract with Dynamo Kyiv," the statement read.
The Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp signed Kranjcar from Portsmouth in 2009 and he made a big impact in his first campaign, scoring five goals and providing many assists from the left flank in 32 appearances.
But the emergence of Gareth Bale meant the Croatian dropped down the pecking order the following season and only made nine Premier League starts in 2010-11, although his campaign was curtailed by a knee injury.
Tottenham are yet to confirm the sale but it is anticipated the deal will be officially signed off once the international transfer window opens on Saturday.
Dynamo had tried to sign Kranjcar twice before, most recently last summer, but the Ukrainians balked at the transfer fee Spurs quoted for their versatile midfielder.
The Croatian, who is currently on international duty at Euro 2012, is eager to repay the faith shown in him by Dynamo Kyiv's chairman, Ihor Surkis. He told Dynamo's website: "Surkis wanted to sign me back in 2003 when I was at Dinamo Zagreb. Many years later Kyiv again tried to sign me, and Surkis personally took control of the negotiations. I thought the price was too high that Spurs wanted for me last year and I thought then they would not come back for me, but Surkis again entered the fray.
"He has tried so hard to sign me that I simply had to pay him back. I want to make a good impression on him and the fans. This is one of the most respectable clubs in eastern Europe."
Kranjcar admitted he will leave Tottenham with a heavy heart but said the time was right to move after he grew frustrated at the lack of first-team opportunities at White Hart Lane.
"That club means a lot to me. It has been great," he told Sky. "I wanted to play more but I played with some great footballers. Harry Redknapp has been a big part of my career – he is the one who brought me to Portsmouth and believed in me there.
"Obviously, he then took me to Spurs. After a great first season, where we made the Champions League and played a lot of matches, the last two were quite disappointing because you want to play football. That's what you grow up wanting to do." | positive |
Ubisoft has confirmed the recently-leaked Assassin's Creed: Unity with a short teaser of stunning in-game footage.
As expected Unity will be released during "holiday 2014", just for PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It's been in development for "more than three years", Ubisoft said.
The trailer confirms the game's Parisian setting during the French revolution, and the black-cloaked Assassin spotted in leaked screenshots earlier this week.
In a statement today announcing the game and the new footage, Ubisoft commented that been forced to confirm the game's existence a little earlier than planned due to "Abstergo".
"Qu'ils mangent de la brioche [Let them eat cake]!" Ubisoft exclaimed.
"We have been working on the new Assassin's Creed for more than three years and although we weren't quite ready to show you our full vision for a next-gen only AC, it seems Abstergo are trying to force our hand! So here's a true first look at in-game footage from Assassin's Creed Unity. Stay tuned - we'll have many more exciting details for you in the months ahead!"

What is Prezi?
Bug 1: SWF sanitization incomplete blacklist into AS code execution (XSS)
Short chunk: [ data size (6 bits) ][ tag ID (10 bits) ]
Long chunk: [ 0x3f ][ tag ID (10 bits) ][ data size (32 bits) ]
Chunks which just execute code, e.g. ID 59 - DoInitAction or ID 12 - DoAction. Chunks which import resources (chunks) from other SWF files, e.g. ID 57 - ImportAssets or the second version of this chunk with ID 71. Chunks representing graphical objects which may have some actions defined - e.g. ID 7 DefineButton, which can perform actions (i.e. run ActionScript) when e.g. it's clicked.
private static function isTagTypeCode(param1:uint) : Boolean
{
return param1 == 12 || param1 == 59 || param1 == 76 || param1 == 82;

private static function isTagTypeContainsActions(param1:uint) : Boolean
{
return param1 == 7 || param1 == 26 || param1 == 34 || param1 == 39 || param1 == 70;
}// end function
Bug 2: Integer overflow in AS into XSS
private static function skipTag(param1:ByteArray) : void
{
var _loc_2:* = getTagLengthAndSkipHeader(param1);
param1.position = param1.position + _loc_2;
return;
}// end function

SWF.position ← old_position
SWF.writeBytes(temp_buffer)
SWF.length ← old_position + temp_buffer.length
SWF.position ← old_position
The sanitizer reaches the overflowing tag and jumps backward into the first shown tag's data.
The data contains a valid chunk header, which described a tag which is on the blacklist. This chunk gets removed.
The next tag (which originally was just second chunk's data) has a huge length which sends the sanitizer to EOF and so the sanitizer exits.
When the Adobe Flash SWF parsers sees the output, it sees the "send to EOF" chunk, the overflowing chunk and the padding just as the first tags data, and ignores is (ShowFrame has no meaningful data from SWF parsers perspective).
And it reaches the hidden "evil" tags which contain ActionScript to execute. The sanitizer never had a chance to see and sanitize these tags, since it was sent backwards and then to EOF.

Bug 3 (unexploitable): Abusing the AES-128-CBC IV
The website actually embeds a loader (called preziloader-*.swf). The loader fetches a 128-bit AES key and a 128-bit AES IV key from /api/embed (yes, it's a relative path). The loader loads into a ByteArray the main module: main-*.swf from *.prezi.com (the domain is verified). The first 2064 bytes of the main SWF file are decrypted using AES-128-CBC, using the retrieved keys. The rest of the bytes are already plain-text. The main SWF is loaded into the same security context.
We don't control main-*.swf at all.
But we do control both AES key and IV.
Take the next 16-byte block. Decrypt the block using AES KEY and AES algorithm. XOR the result with the 16-byte IV and that's the decrypted block. GOTO 1 until end of data.
We know the result of the decryption of the first block (we can just grab main-*.swf and decrypt it using either their AES key or a different key that will give "wrong" data, that doesn't really matter). And we can choose what to XOR it with (IV).
*
* - actually, if we think of the data as 16-byte rows, then we control one byte in each column, in a row of our choice; all bytes don't have to be in the same row.
The IV gives us only 16-bytes to control.
Doing some AES key brute forcing it might be possible to control additionally 2-5 bytes - however the time to get the additional bytes grows exponentially - it's 256**N operations (AES decryptions) basically, where N is the number of additional bytes we would like to control. This is also tricky for another reason (it will create additional constraints for byte values due to the IV changes we will have to make).
Prezi actually uses AES-128-CBC with PKCS#5, so padding bytes have to have the value of padding length (e.g. 5-byte padding has to look like this: 05 05 05 05 05). And remember: if we choose a different key/IV, the original padding will be destroy. This can be bypassed by choosing such an IV, that the last byte in the last block is 0x00 or 0x01 (then the padding is not checked because it's assumed that there is no padding at all, or it's a one-byte padding only). So this is not a huge problem.
If we choose the ZWS format for the SWF file, Prezi loader is nice enough to fix the magic and file size in the SWF header, so that's 7 bytes we wouldn't have to worry about. But there is an additional LZMA header which we would have to start worrying about, so it gives us nothing.
Probably some of the bytes in the SWF header can have a broken value and the SWF will still work. So we don't have to worry about these bytes.

Some time ago I decided to spend a few evenings playing with bug bounties. I've looked around and finally decided to focus on Prezi, since, being a user of their product, I was already somewhat familiar with it. As I seem to be naturally drawn to low-level areas, this quickly turned into an ActionScript reverse-engineering exercise with digging into the internals of SWF file format. I found a couple of interesting and fun bugs (e.g. an integer overflow that led to ActionScript code execution - you don't commonly see these this far from the C/C++ kingdom), and a few of them are worth sharing in my opinion.At the bottom of the post I've put some information about the tools I've used, just in case you're curious.Random announcement not really having anything to do with the post: Dragon Sector is looking for sponsors that would help us play at DEF CON CTF . Thank you. Now back to our show!Before I get to the juicy part, let's do a really quick intro to get everyone into context: Prezi ( prezi.com ) is basically a huge Flash application that allows you to make cool-looking animated presentations in a really easy way. They provide both online service and storage, and a desktop version which basically is just a standalone Flash application; I focused only on the online application and the surrounding web service.As far as Prezi Bug Bounty Program goes, you can read all about it at http://prezi.com/bugbounty/ . I'll just add that everything (communication, fixing bugs, etc) went smoothly and that Prezi has a really friendly security team :)One of Prezi's features is embedding user-provided Flash applets into the presentation. Of course, before the SWF is embedded, it's scrubbed for any parts that contain ActionScript or import other SWF files - this is done to prevent executing user's (attacker's) code. As soon as the SWF is clean, it gets loaded into the Prezi's context.The SWF (under the optional DEFLATE compression layer) is basically a chunk based format. Each chunk starts with a header (and the data follows), that looks like this:Both the formats of the chunks and the tag IDs are defined in "SWF File Format Specification" released by Adobe. As of today the current version is 19 updated April 23, 2013, and as to be expected, it has "only" 243 pages. There are currently 94 tag IDs defined (from 0 to 93, with a couple missing, e.g. ID 92 or ID 79-81), with some of them being just iterations of a given chunk type (e.g. ID 2 - DefineShape, ID 22 - DefineShape2, ID 32 - DefineShape3 and ID 83 - DefineShape4).As mentioned, the scrubbing basically went after the chunks which might lead to code execution - if such chunk was found, it was removed from the SWF.There are basically three groups of chunks that may result in code execution:As one can imagine, Prezi did contain three functions responsible for recognizing these groups:Here's the catch:. So basically embedding a Flash file with e.g. a button that had actions defined (e.g. the "on mouse over" action) led to arbitrary ActionScript code execution in the context of Prezi, which is basically an XSS (and a stored/wormable at that).The tricky part with the fix here is that ideally you don't want to remove graphical elements from the SWF, so removing whole chunks in this case is an overkill. What you want to do is to remove the actions alone and that requires more code and digging deeper into the format, making the simple solution more complex.On a more general note: using blacklist is usually a bad idea; for example, a new SWF File Format Specification comes out with Tag ID 95 defined as DoInitAction2 and you have to update the application. You miss a beat and you have an XSS again. A cleaner solution here would be to have a whitelist of allowed tags and just remove everything else.Digging deeper into the chunk removing code I notice the following code:Theline retrieves an attacker-controlled chunk length from the SWF file - as noted in the previous bug, for long chunks this can be a a 32-bit value, and the returned type isTheline does basically an addition assignment to basically skip past the chunk-that-is-OK in the data stream. Theis alsoaccording to AS documentation You know where this is going :)In ActionScriptis a 32-bit unsigned value with modulo arithmetic, so the result of the above addition is also truncated to 32-bit, regardless of its true value. So yes, it's an integer overflow. And it allowed one to bypass the SWF sanitizer.Exploiting this turned out to be quite interesting and included a small twist which made things even more entertaining.Starting with the basic idea, here is how the sanitizer worked from a high level perspective (in pseudocode; I'll omit code added after patching previous bug, since it changes nothing):The skipTag was already shown above, so that leaves just the eraseTag method:So eraseTag basically copies whatever is past the tag-to-be-removed on top of that tag and fixes the total data size (SWF.length) afterwards.The above allows us to basically jump backwards into a middle of a chunk (that's the consequence of the integer overflow) and remove however many bytes we like. This of course leads to changing how the Adobe Flash SWF interpreter will see the file, which is different than how the sanitizer originally saw it.Let's look at an example:So basically this is what's happening here (in chronological order):Now, here's the catch: Prezi's sanitizing code has a bug which triggers a quirky behavior in Adobe Flash, which prevents execution of any ActionScript.Remember these lines?This fixes the SWF length after decompression. However, the file length in the SWF headers should also be fixed if any chunk gets removed and it's not. For some reason incorrect size causes Flash to ignore any ActionScript (I never got into the bottom of why exactly is this happening though; though it acted very peculiarly).So, to exploit this I needed to make the sanitizer fix the headers for me. This turned out to be both simple and a little more tricky. Simple, because the overflow allowed me to send the sanitizer back as far as I wanted - e.g. to the beginning of the SWF headers. And more tricky, because the DWORD representing the file size is just after the SWF magic and version, so that means I had to make the file size be at the same time a valid chunk header for a blacklisted chunk (but that turned out to not be a problem).The final setup looked like this (in the data of the hidden junks the sanitizer was sent to EOF of course):The NASM code (it's the way I prefer to generate simple binary files - don't worry, it's " Ange Approved" ;>) to generate a PoC according to the above schema looks like this:Of course ideally you wouldn't redirect the sanitizer into the middle of your AS/JS payload, but it's just a PoC, so no sense thinking too much about it I guess; especially that it worked:Again, I would classify this as a stored/wormable XSS.Let's document some failures as well :)This bug did exist (so it wasn't a false-positive), but it turned out to be non-exploitable due to how bloated the SWF headers are. Still, it's a pretty fun example of what you can attempt to do with crypto in certain, very specific, scenarios.Let's start by discussing how Prezi is (was) loaded (I'll simplify it a little to focus on the important part):This means that:And, whoever controls the AES-128-CBC IV, fully controls the first 16 bytes of the decrypted main-*.swf.This is because AES in CBC mode works like this:So basically:So, basically, we choose the result of the decryption of the first block(and get trashed data in all the other blocks).There are a couple of important things to note:To sum up: we would control about 18-21 bytes, wouldn't have to worry about a few more and everything else would be "random bytes" (the result of decrypting data with wrong key and IV).Sadly/thankfully (depending on the perspective) in the end this is not exploitable with SWFs, because one would need to control about 50 bytes of SWF to make a valid file that has some meaningful code which gives you code execution. So... close, but no cigar :)In no particular order:And that's about it. Let me know if you have any questions or if I got something wrong. | positive |

Throughout these 10 hellish tracks, LIE IN RUINS twists their cavernous sound into new, more violent forms. The impending destruction is evident in the album’s first single, “Spectral Realms of Fornication.” Six years after LIE IN RUIN’s last full-length (2014’s Towards Divine Death), Floating in Timeless Streams sees a more streamlined approach from the band. A departure from the 70+ minute onslaught of Towards Divine Death, Floating in Timeless Streams delivers a more calculated attack, clocking in at 41 lethal minutes. Floating in Timeless Streams continues to highlight the tremendous guitar work of Roni Ärling and Tuomas Kulmala, their mastery backed by new addition of CORPSESSED drummer Jussi-Pekka Manner. The album is rounded out by the tormented and guttural vocals of Roni Sahari (DESOLATE SHRINE). LIE IN RUIN’s magnum opus, Floating in Timeless Streams is arguably the most brutal album of 2020. Finnish death metal’s finest! Dark Descent Records will release Floating in Timeless Streams November 20 on CD, digital and vinyl. Pre-order the album HERE. Track Listing: 1. Walls of Weeping Eyes 2.

North Korea’s state media outlet Uriminzokkiri on Monday urged South Korea to return Kim Ryon Hui, who is currently in South Korea but has announced her hopes of returning to Pyongyang, her hometown.
The South Korean Ministry of Unification on Tuesday stated that repatriating a border crosser to North Korea is impossible under the current legal system. North Koreans who cross into South Korea are considered South Korean citizens, while entry into North Korea is largely off-limits to South Koreans.
The Uriminzokkiri commentary argued that Kim was “kidnapped” in South Korea and deceived by a South Korean intelligence agent, which they say was planned by the South Korean government.
“It is horrible anti-humanitarian brutality that they kidnapped a DPRK citizen and ignore her screams calling for her return to her hometown, where her parents and children are waiting for her,” the article reads.
The South Korean newspaper Hankyoreh covered Kim’s story on July 3, which was followed by a press conference on August 3.
“I am a citizen of the DPRK, not ROK,” she told the Hankyoreh, adding that she has been detained by South Korea, rather than protected by it.
Kim said she used to work as a tailor in Pyongyang, and visited China in 2011 seeking treatment for a medical condition. Before going home, she said she decided to work at a restaurant in Shenyang for a month to make money. She said a broker approached her saying she could earn more money in South Korea and then go back to North Korea after few months.
Only later would she learn that she could not go back to North Korea.
“I couldn’t get my passport back. I decided to go to South Korea for the time being, and thought South Korea would understand my situation and return me,” she said.
She argued that she pretended to be a spy in order to be exiled from South Korea, since she couldn’t get to the North Korean embassy in China without an official passport. Her story received international attention, including a report by the New York Times.
The Uriminzokkiri editorial said this situation creates a new “divided family,” calling it despicable for South Korea to speak of the “pain of divided families.”
It also urged that the “anti-human rights criminals” at the International Criminal Court be punished, indicating their attempt to counter the controversy over human rights in North Korea.
Cho Han-bum, senior researcher from the Korea Institute for National Unification called the editorial a general response to the international pressure on the human rights issue.
“At any rate, North Korea will cooperate to have the reunions of divided families. It doesn’t have a specific meaning, it just seems like a reaction against the human rights controversy,” Cho told NK News.

There’s nothing quite like it – especially in the beautiful mountains and countryside of West Virginia. It’s the ultimate form of freedom. For those of us who ride, it’s not what we do. It’s who we are. Stay Safe – Avoid the Police – Protect Your Rights At Angotti & Straface Attorneys at Law, we support our resident and visiting bikers. Whether you’re a local who is new to riding or you’ll be passing through our wild, wonderful state, we are pleased to provide a basic rundown of the West Virginia Motorcycle Laws. Understanding – and practicing – the rules of the road can help keep you and other motorists safe, help you avoid getting pulled over by law enforcement, and protect your rights if involved in an accident. In West Virginia, all operators of motorcycles are required to be licensed and obey signs, traffic signals, and speed limits. Motorcycle operators must be seated on the permanently attached operator’s seat and facing forward. Side-by-side (tandem) riding is permitted as long as this method of operating the motorcycles wouldn’t otherwise be dangerous (due to road conditions, weather, etc.).

There is no rider limit as long as each passenger is provided his own seat with footrests or a sidecar seat. All seats must be designed for this purpose and firmly attached to the motorcycle.) -Aside from the required red brake light and white rear registration light, it is prohibited to have more than 2 additional lights along the fender/side cowl. -Running board lights that cause a glare are prohibited. More About Safe Riding and Expectations In WV At Angotti & Straface Attorneys at Law, we encourage all motorcycle riders to ensure they receive proper operator training, practice, and learn as much as possible about their equipment before heading out the first time, as well as on an ongoing basis. Be sure to inspect the bike and all equipment before riding, perform regular preventive maintenance, avoid traveling in inclement weather, be aware of your abilities and limitations, respect others on the road, indicate your turns in advance, and utilize all information and means available to you to be as safe as possible while traveling. You can learn a little more about what is expected of motorcycle operators in West Virginia at the link below: West Virginia Motorcycle Operator Manual Not Wearing a Helmet? You Could be Ineligible to File a Claim In West Virginia, personal injury and wrongful death claims are evaluated on the basis of comparative negligence which allows for modified comparative fault. What this means is that even if you followed all laws and operated your motorcycle perfectly and were hit by a reckless driver, you could be ineligible to recover compensation if you were not wearing a helmet, protective gear, or otherwise following applicable laws and operating the motorcycle responsibly. If you are found partially at-fault for your injuries, any potential compensation you are eligible to collect will be reduced accordingly. If it is determined that your actions made you 50% or more at fault, you will be ineligible to recover any compensation at all.

Beardy's and Okemasis First Nation band council hopefuls will need to pass a drug test before they're elected.
Eleven amendments were made to the band's election act earlier this week. Provisions in the act build on a motion made in 2008, when band members voted to make drug testing mandatory. However, nothing was enacted until now.
"There has just be a lot of talk about it since," said Jeremy Seeseequasis, councillor and member of the governance committee for the band.
A long time coming
"We felt the concerns are there from community members to have it tabled again and have it implemented at the highest level," Seeseequasis said.
There were no allegations or concerns regarding council members when the policy was originally introduced, he said. It was just a case of people demanding more of elected officials and ensuring the people in power were of sound mind and body.
"There has been lots of pressure from membership to get it done."
Seeseequasis said there have been expectations that those who are chosen to lead the community should be clean of banned substances. (Bofn9697.com)
The costs of the test will have to be paid by the candidates. The drug test would essentially be the first step taken before people announce they're running, Seeseequasis said.
"Any councillor that wants to run for these offices, these positions, would be clear of the these banned substances."
There are no policies in place currently which would ask the band's current administration to take drug tests, he added. Current leaders will have to take the test when the next round of campaigning starts, he said.
"I think anybody at any level of government should be free of banned substances," he added, saying he would like to see the tests implemented across the board.
"You're in a position that's held in high regard. People look up to you," Seeseequasis said. "People expect more of elected official."
Cost savings
The new amendments also reduced the number of spots on council.
When the March band election rolls around, people will vote in six councillors, down from the previous eight. Those running for chief will have to pay a $400 fee; a $200 fee will need to be paid for council positions.
In an earlier press release, Seeseequasis said the changes will save more than $350,000 over the course of a term.
The savings could be used to pay down existing debt or supplement and improve existing programs, the release said.
The band will also no longer incur significant debt as a result of elections thanks to these changes.
The act was renamed the Beardy's & Okemasis' Cree Nation Election Act as well.
The Beardy's and Okemasis First Nation is located approximately 90 kilometres north of Saskatoon. | positive |
Editor's Note: This article was first published at ScienceNordic.
Researchers at Sweden’s Umeå University examined 94 children whose parents believed to have food allergies. Only nine of these kids were allergic to any foods.
“It’s terrific that such issues are being documented. This is actually something we see plenty of both in Norway and in much of the world,” says Karin Lødrup Carlsen. She is a professor at the University of Oslo (UiO) and a specialist in allergies among children and adolescents.
“Very many think they are allergic to some foodstuff or another without really being so.”
There is also a big difference between what many perceive as food allergies – and what specialists in the field can document as a genuine.
Problem for those who have allergies
Lødrup Carlsen fears that the considerable self-diagnostics of food allergies which many parents conduct on their children can lead to unfortunate consequences.
“It can lead to a child wrongly thinking he or she has a food allergy. Thus the child is subjected to dietary restrictions that are simply unneccesary,” says Lødrup Carlsen.
“This is a problem for the children who actually do have food allergies. They might not be taken seriously.”
“With so much self-diagnostics going on by parents, with many of the youngsters not coming in contact with the health system, the children among them who really do have food allergies might not be getting the examinations and follow-ups which they should be receiving,” says Lødrup Carlsen.
Denied milk, eggs, fish and wheat
The researchers at Umeå University invited parents of 2,585 children aged 7 and 8 to participate in the study of food allergies. All in all, 96 percent wanted their children to partake in the study.
According to the parents, a total of 21 percent of these children had some sort of food allergy.
The researchers conducted a follow-up study when the children were aged 11 and 12. The parents now reported their kids had sensitivities against foodstuffs. Many of these children were getting no dairy products, eggs, fish or wheat.
The children who were assumed to have food allergies were invited by the researchers to participate in a clinical study to determine whether these allergies were bona fide. A total of 94 kids were used in a double blind study. They were given various foods which they might be allergic to.
Only nine of the 94 actually had a food allergy.
Easier social lives
One year later, the children and their parents were interviewed once again.
The children who had been medically diagnosed with food allergies reported now having better information about the symptoms they could get if they ate the wrong food. They also knew more about what courses of action to take when an allergic reaction occurred.
The children who had been informed that they didn’t have food allergies found they were less encumbered by limitations and their social relations with others became easier as they now could eat a wider variety of foods.
A big task
“In Norway we have a big job to do to bolster the health care system for better diagnostic procedures in checking children for food allergies,” says Karin Lødrup Carlsen.
“We need to boost our knowledge and our resources linked to diagnostics of children’s food allergies. Children should not be put on diets wholly on the basis of their parents’ suspicions of an allergy.”
The UiO professor asserts that food allergies cannot be simply diagnosed on the basis of a person’s history of ailments, nor on a laboratory test alone.
“Children with possible food allergies have to be examined and diagnosed by experienced, professional personnel. This is the way to rule out or determine a food allergy. If an allergy is found these children and their parents can get help with adequate procedures and follow-ups,” she says. | positive |
Overview Being shot by a gun is bad enough if you’re hit, but at least the risk applies only to you. In the enclosed space of a jetliner, a bullet that doesn’t find its target can be catastrophic. If the projectile damages critical aircraft devices, cracks window that sucks out oxygen, or punctures the skin to produce explosive decompression, all passengers and crew on board could die. To prevent these disasters, the Transportation Security Administration has established strict guidelines on flying with firearms.
Check Ahead Though the TSA offers its own regulations on traveling with firearms, the airline and its destination country may have rules that are more stringent. Passengers should check for such rules before traveling.
Carrying Firearms Passengers cannot carry guns, ammunition or similar weapons into an airline cabin unless they are law enforcement officers who meet the requirements of Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations 1544.219. These rules apply to federal officers or full-time city, county or state officers who work full time for a government agency, have obtained specialized training for firearms in flight and have identified themselves to the aircraft operator.
Check-in Firearms All other passengers must declare to the airline ticket agent that they’re checking in firearms and store them, unloaded, in a hard-sided case. The luggage must be locked, though the owner can provide a security officer with the combination or a key. The gun owner must be present when the security officer opens the case or the officer will make every effort to contact you. If security cannot find you, they won’t allow the baggage on-board, according to the TSA.
Packing Ammunition Ammunition must be stored in boxes specifically designed for them. The container may be made out of cardboard, wood or metal. Magazines or clips cannot be used for storage, the TSA says, unless they totally and securely cover the bullets. Ammo boxes can be placed in the same case as the weapons, however.
Explosive or Flammable Materials Explosive or flammable materials cannot be transported, even as checked-in luggage. This includes dynamite, gunpowder, fireworks, flares and hand grenades. Strike-anywhere matches, torch lighters, gasoline and fuels are also not allowed, according to the TSA. However, passengers may carry on one book of safety matches and a common lighter. Lighters without fuel can be checked, but those without fuel are not allowed, even in baggage.
Replicas Replica models or prop firearms must be handled like the real thing. For example, passengers cannot carry a replica gun on-board but can check it in if properly packed. Replica dynamite or hand grenades are not allowed for transport, the TSA says.

This tool/script aims to speed up this process by parsing and highlighting the various rules that may be of interest, when engaging in a IT health check.
Currently as seen in the source, it will flag on rules which have “Any” in the following areas:
Source field
Destination field
Service field
And also a small amount of sensitive services such as:
SSH
FTP
HTTP
SNMP
etc. amongst others but this can be seen in the source. Please feel free to request more features or report bugs in the Github page, and ill be sure to update this as I use this myself during engagements!
Dependencies:
Python BeautifulSoup4 (usually python2-beautifulsoup4
Python terminaltables (usually pip install terminaltables)
Python lxml (usually python-lxml)

Below is an excerpt from the cover story, "Good Night, Giggles" by Mike Albo, in the August issue of InStyle magazine. It is available on newsstands and for digital download July 11.
Zooey Deschanel could be America's sweetheart if she wanted to be. But a sweetheart has to be sugary and pastel-natured—and the 34-year old actress has an edge to her sweetness. For one thing, she is fiercely independent—god forbid you ask her if she wants kids. "Like every woman is dying to give birth! I don't think so. Nobody asks guys that," she says, gaining steam. "And you go into a supermarket and every tabloid is like, 'Pregnant and Alone!' Stuck in the 1950s ideal of how a woman should live her life. This brings out the fiery feminist in me," she pronounces.

Deschanel is also no shrinking violet when it comes to work. The actress and musician approaches the business of being Zooey with a commitment of a company head. Let's consider her 2014 schedule: In March she finished seven months of shooting New Girl's third season, then traveled across the country to promote To Tommy From Zooey, her capsule collaboration with designer Tommy Hilfiger. Then she went to Canada to film The Driftless Area, a dark comedy co-starring Frank Langella and Anton Yelchin. After that it was off to Moroocco to film Rock the Kasbah, a comedy with Kate Hudson and Bruce Willis. And in a few weeks she returns to L.A. to shoot Season 4 of New Girl. In the middle of this madness, Deschanel found time to record a new album from her indie duo She & Him with songwriter-guitarist M. Ward. Oh, she's also one of the founders of the popular lifestyle site HelloGiggles.com (she launched it with two pals).Related: Love Zooey's style? See this slideshow of her best looks ever.
If there is anyone to blame for Deschanel's entrepreneurial spirit it would be her parents (a cinematographer and an actress). Growing up in L.A.'s Pacific Palisades, she would go from one project to the next “drawing in one corner, writing or sewing in another. I was lucky to have parents who were really, really supportive in terms of creativity. We only went clothes shopping twice a year, but every single day of the week I had something else I was learning to do.”

Staying so busy is one of the things that keeps her grounded despite her fame. “I’ve seen a lot of people turn—sometimes it unlocks who they really are. They turn into celebrities who are separate from themselves. That’s OK, but I just don’t want to be like that," she says. "I have to be normal. My mother wouldn’t let me be any other way.”For the full story on Zooey Deschanel, pick up the August issue of InStyle, available on newsstands and for digital download July 11. | positive |
It was an experimental year for Indian television with the successful import of Pakistani dramas, increased Bollywood presence led by Amitabh Bachchan and introduction of mature concepts like gay romance. The Bollywood megastar's much–hyped fictional debut has been one of the biggest highlights of TV in 2014. He starred in psychological thriller miniseries Yudh, which was created by Gangs of Wasseypur director Anurag Kashyap The show, which revolved around a real estate business tycoon (Bachchan) and was said to be loosely based on American drama Boss, was praised for the stellar performance by the evergreen star and the supporting cast, which included Bollywood actors Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Kay Kay Menon. It, however, did not garner the expected TRPs and was mainly criticised for its slow pace and confusing plot. The 72-year-old actor returned in full form with his reality game show Kaun Banega Crorepati 8.
It rained Bollywood stars on TV as superstar Aamir Khan made a comeback with two seasons of his social issue-based show Satyamev Jayate, while Salman Khan returned with reality show Bigg Boss 8. Shah Rukh Khan was seen judging a reality dance show for the first time to promote his film Happy New Year, while Akshay Kumar hosted a dance-based series Dare 2 Dance.
Another high point on TV this year was the entry of Pakistani shows. With their novel storyline and treatment, these dramas came as a breath of fresh air for the audience, who earlier had the option of only melodramatic soap operas and reality shows. Finite-duration dramas like Zindagi Gulzar Hai, Maat, Humsafar were praised for their subtle screenplay combined with natural performances.
Perhaps taking a cue from their Pakistani counterparts, many miniseries were launched this year. Emotional thriller Laut Aao Trisha, an official adaptation of Spanish tele-novela Donde esta Elisa and filmmaker Ashutosh Gowariker's TV debut with 100-episode series Everest are a few ones, which have impressed the audience.
Small screen also attempted with some fresh and mature subjects like reconnection of a divorced couple after years of separation (Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyaar), struggles of a gay couple to come out with their relationship (Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan), love story between a married woman and her unmarried boss (Ajeeb Dastaan Hai Yeh) and with the viewers giving these shows a thumbs-up, it seems TV is ready for a change.
Like every year, TV had its share of controversies. Bigg Boss, which is infamous for its fights and high-octane drama, made headlines for showing two contestants (Gautam Gulati and Diandra Soares) kissing on the show. The incident did get the reality show the much required-TRP, but also invited backlash from many sections of the society, including Rajya Sabha for projecting 'vulgarity' on television. The controversy continued as rumours surfaced that Diandra was evicted from the show because she got pregnant, which the supermodel later denied.
Pakistani dramas proved to be a good competitor to Indian soaps, which usually have stereotyped characters and set-ups. Being adapted from novels, Pakistani serials had an edge over Indian soaps with their focus on content rather than on the grandeur. From love stories like Humsafar, Zindagi Gulzar Hai, romantic-comedy Yeh Shaadi Nahi Ho Sakti to intense dramas like Maat and Badi Aapa, Pakistani shows struck a chord with the viewers.
While saas-bahu sagas continued enjoying a dedicated fan base, popularity of miniseries also grew. Vampire drama Fannah, launched earlier this year and currently in its second season, is being liked by the youth.
Recently launched contemporary thriller Mahakumbh, starring Gautam Rode, is also a miniseries and the makers will reportedly come up with more seasons, based on the response of the first installment.
With Anil Kapoor's successful TV drama 24 coming up with its second season next year, it seems a strong market for such shows will only grow in the future.
Television showed progression this year by attempting mature and bolder issues. Youth-based fiction show Kaisi Yeh Yaariyan, which revolves around a group of friends and their relationships, has gay romance as one of its sub-plots. The show highlights the plight of homosexuals, who are scared about coming out of the closet.
It was also a year for the small screen debut of some popular 1990s actresses. While Maine Pyar Kiya fame actress Bhagyashree starred in Laut Ao Trisha, Sonali Bendre, who has judged reality shows in the past, made her fictional debut with Balaji Telefilms's soap opera Ajeeb Dastan Hai Yeh.
Many popular TV faces made their comebacks to the small screen. Pallavi Kulkarni returned with Itna Karo Na Mujhe Pyaar after a seven-year-long hiatus. Actor Harshad Chopra made a comeback to TV after two years with romantic drama Humsafars.
While fiction showed signs of positive change, lack of novel concept in reality shows was evident in 2014. Dare 2 Dance, a blend of dance and daring stunts, was a new idea but it failed to click with the audience as it looked more like combination of other hit shows Jhalak Dikhhla Jaa and stunt-based show Khatron Ke Khiladi. | positive |

The Defenders (SJ Types)
ESTJ – The Supervisor
What stresses out an ESTJ:
– Being in an environment that is in disarray
– Frequent disruptions
– Irrational behavior
– Being surrounded by (or guilty of) incompetence
– Unexpected changes
– Lack of control
– Laziness in others
– Not having their strongly held values validated
– Guilt over being critical towards others
– Dealing too long with abstract or theoretical concepts
– Being in a highly-charged emotional environment for too long
MY LATEST VIDEOS
When overwhelmed by stress, ESTJ’s often feel isolated from others. They feel as if they are misunderstood and undervalued, and that their efforts are taken for granted. When under stress, they have a hard time putting their feelings into words and communicating them to others. If they are under frequent, chronic stress, they may fall into the grip of their inferior function; introverted feeling. When this happens, they can develop a “martyr complex”. The ESTJ will be uncharacteristically emotional, withdraw from others, become hypersensitive about their relationships, and misinterpret tiny, insignificant details into personal attacks. Physically, they may feel tension headaches, and neck or shoulder aches from tension in their body.
MY LATEST VIDEOS MY LATEST VIDEOS
How to help an ESTJ experiencing stress:
– Give them some time to be left alone during and immediately after an incident.
– Avoid directly attacking the problem right away.
– Help them break down larger projects into smaller pieces.
– Listen to them. Let them talk it out.
– After some time of listening, discuss information or ideas that could lead to solutions.
– Validate their feelings.
– Don’t be overly-sympathetic.
– Don’t respond emotionally.

ISTJ – The Inspector
What Stresses out an ISTJ:
– Being in an environment that is in disarray
– Looming deadlines
– Being forced or asked to do things that don’t make sense to them
– Being asked to do something without a plan or direction
– Frequent change
– Having to innovate without any past experience to rely on
– Being asked to do something spontaneously
– Too much extraversion (excess people contact)
– Emotionally charged situations
– Unfamiliar surroundings
– Dealing too long with abstract or theoretical concepts.
When faced with stress overload, ISTJs may fall into “catastrophe mode”, where they see nothing but all the potential of what could go wrong. They may beat themselves up; berating themselves for things which could have been done differently, or duties which they failed to perform. They will lose their ability to see things calmly and reasonably, and can become depressed at what they see as a bleak future. Under chronic stress, the ISTJ may fall into the grip of their inferior function, extroverted intuition, and become a “dramatizer”. They may become intensely angry, rigid in what they’re doing, outwardly critical, pessimistic, and embrace an overwhelming fear of the future.
How to help an ISTJ experiencing stress:
– Give them plenty of space.
– Listen, and provide provable affirmation of how they’ve overcome or done something well in the past.
– Break a task down into manageable pieces.
– Do not give generalized compliments.
– Put things that have to be done in sequential order.
– Don’t brainstorm. If they are in the grip of their inferior function, extroverted intuition, brainstorming will only make things worse.
– Don’t give them more to do. Give them a break from responsibilities if possible.
– Take them seriously. Don’t patronize or judge them.
– Encourage them to exercise, unless this would sound like an insult.

ISFJ – The Protector
What stresses out an ISFJ:
– Overexerting themselves by saying “yes” to too many projects.
– Conflict or criticism
– Lack of positive feedback
– Environments filled with tension
– Looming deadlines
– Being asked to do things in a way that isn’t clearly defined
– Having to overuse their type by having to constantly act as “the responsible one”
– Dealing too long with abstract or theoretical concepts.
– Unfamiliar territory or an uncertain future
When faced with stress, ISFJs become discouraged and depressed. They start to imagine all the things that could go wrong, and they may feel a strong sense of inadequacy. They may feel that everything is all wrong, or that they can’t do anything right. If they are in a state of chronic stress, they may fall into the grip of their inferior function, extraverted intuition. When this happens they may start acting completely out of character. They may be at odds with normally relied upon facts and details, they may see everything as awful and feel “doomed”. They may become withdrawn, angry, irritable, and pessimistic. They will probably feel emotionally overwhelmed and find themselves worrying about all kinds of horrible possibilities.
How to help an ISFJ experiencing stress:
– Give them space or time alone to work through their feelings.
– Provide provable affirmations about ways they’ve overcome situations like this in the past.
– Help them break down problems into manageable pieces
– Don’t give generalized compliments. Make compliments specific.
– Put a problem or task in sequential order.
– Don’t brainstorm. When they are in the grip of extraverted intuition, this will only make things worse.
– Let them engage their auxiliary extraverted feeling by reading materials that are personally moving, or spiritual.
– Encourage them to get some physical exercise (without making it sound like an insult).
– Let them talk about their irrational fears or feelings, and give them quiet, calm reassurance.
– Take them seriously. Don’t patronize or judge them.

ESFJ – The Caregiver
What stresses out an ESFJ:
– Unstructured environments
– Having to do things that involve abstract, theoretical concepts
– Environments that have tension or conflict
– Unexpected change
– Inadequate time to complete work to their standards
– Tense, or confrontational relationships or situations
– Situations that don’t meld with their values
– Lack of trust in someone or something they’re involved with
– Criticism
– Feeling unappreciated
When faced with stress, ESFJ’s can become very critical and overly sensitive, often imagining bad intentions where there weren’t any. Being prone to insecurity, they can focus all their attention on pleasing those who give them security. This may lead them to become staunchly attached to a toxic relationship, structure, or belief system that provides them some sort of affirmation or security. They can become quite dramatic when under stress, finding fault with almost everyone and everything. They can experience low energy, a feeling of depression and pessimism. They become uncharacteristically quiet and withdrawn. If they are under chronic stress, they may fall into the grip of their inferior function; introverted thinking. This can cause them to take on the form of “the condemner”, focusing on everyone’s flaws and all the ways they have been hurt by them and how those flaws go against their belief system and how things “should be”.
How to help an ESFJ experiencing stress:
– Give them a change of scenery. Let them spend some time outdoors.
– Encourage them to exercise (without making it a dig at their weight or health).
– Watch a comedy with them, or engage them with some humor or lighthearted entertainment.
– Acknowledge how they feel.
– Let them talk it out.
– Remind them of their strengths and contributions.
– Don’t use logic to talk them out of stress.
– Don’t ignore them.
– Give them feedback. Talk about a similar situation you went through.
– Get them away from the environment or situation that is stressing them out.
– Give them an enjoyable book to read, or a lighthearted movie to watch.

The Adventurers
ESTP – The Promoter
What stresses out an ESTP:
– Rigidly enforced rules
– Having to plan far into the future
– Feeling out of control
– Being asked to complete tasks without detailed directions or processes
– Large amounts of book work, theory, or writing
– Being forced to make commitments or plans before they’re ready
– Being forced to make decisions or eliminate options before they’re ready
– Having to spend a lot of time following someone else’s rules or schedule
– Being in a situation where they have to use a lot of theoretical or intuitive concepts
– Being around people who are excessively serious
When faced with stress, ESTPs tend to feel empty or hollow inside. Their first impulse may be to seek revenge for whatever has caused them stress. They may do this by mocking other people’s values, or becoming increasingly anti-social and disdainful of others. If they are in a state of chronic stress, they may fall into the grip of their inferior function, introverted intuition, and become a “dramatizer”. When this happens, they may do things that are completely out of character for them. They may lose their naturally easy going, agreeable character and begin to have fearful fantasies of the future, ideas of impending doom swirling in their minds. They may begin to assign big meaning to small occurrences, and become preoccupied with the meaning of life and the future of mankind and the universe in a way that is usually filled with gloom and disillusionment.
How to help an ESTP that is experiencing stress:
– Give them space initially or directly after the event.
– Listen to them. Understand that they will likely be irrational.
– Don’t tell them how to fix it. This will only make them feel more helpless.
– Give gentle affirmations or encouragement
– Help them sort out their priorities, paying careful attention to their feelings.
Related: 5 Ways to Annoy an ESTP
ISTP – The Mechanic
What stresses out an ISTP:
– Tight restrictions and a rigid structure.
– Being in controlling relationships.
– Dealing with irrational people.
– Having to use theoretical or intuitive concepts for a prolonged period.
– Being in an emotionally charged environment.
– Lack of alone time. Too much extraverting.
– Being in a non-challenging work environment.
– Doing repetitive, mundane tasks.
– Not having their personal values respected or validated.
When ISTPs experience an overload of stress, they may try to respond by lashing out against whatever is causing it. They may violate rules and regulations that they feel are controlling them; they may feel a need to “get even”. They may become emotionally obsessed with logic and proving a point, while losing track of organization and losing objects or misplacing them. In cases of chronic stress, ISTPs may fall into the grip of their inferior function, extraverted feeling, and become very emotive. They will become hypersensitive about their relationships with others and misinterpret small, insignificant details into the belief that others dislike or hate them. They may become uncharacteristically emotional and/or bitter towards others.
How to help an ISTP experiencing stress:
– Give them alone time and space.
– Excuse them from some of their responsibilities.
– Let them “get away” from everything.
– Don’t ask how they feel.
– Encourage them to exercise.
– Let them read a mystery novel or do something that engages light problem solving.
– Forgive their out-of-character behavior.

ISFP – The Artist
What stresses out an ISFP:
– Rigid structure and rules
– Having to violate their deeply held values
– Not enough alone time. Too much extraverting.
– Too many demands or obligations.
– Having to deal with excessive data
– Long-term planning
– Criticism
– Lack of appreciation from others
– Feeling that they are about to lose something (relationship/task, etc,..)
When under stress, ISFPs can often become passive aggressive, restless, and defiant. If stress continues to build, ISFPs may become self-destructive and careless of their own well-being in an effort to restore excitement or affirmation in their life. If an ISFP is in a state of chronic stress, they may fall into the grip of their inferior function, extraverted thinking, and become “the criticizer”. They may be harsh and critical of others, obsessing over their mistakes, and others incompetence. They may have an intense urge to fix perceived problems or right wrongs, but this can often worsen the situation.
How to help an ISFP experiencing stress:
– Give them some time alone to process their feelings and thoughts
– Validate their feelings, and listen to them. Female ISFPs are often ready to talk sooner about their feelings than male ISFPs
– Remind them of their strengths.
– Don’t give them advice. It won’t help when they’re stressed.
– Don’t try to reason with them or be logical. Just be patient, calm, and affirming.
– Only after they’ve calmed down from the stress ask if they’d like any help with solutions.

ESFP – The Performer
What stresses out an ESFP:
– An environment of rigidly enforced rules
– Long-term planning
– Having to think far into the future
– Being forced to make commitments and plans
– Criticism or confrontation
– Feeling out of control
– Being asked to complete tasks without detailed directions or processes
– Lack of hands-on experiences
– Too much time alone
– Too much book work, theory, or writing
– Having to sit still for too long
When ESFPs experience stress, they may become passively resistant initially. They might become bored and feel empty and listless. They may try to retaliate against the people who are causing them stress by annoying them or trying to irritate them. When overwhelmed with stress, they may become self-destructive, regressing emotionally, and acting in an immature fashion. In the case of chronic stress, ESFPs may fall into the grip of their inferior function; introverted intuition. When this happens, the ESFP can become highly exaggerative, dramatically foretelling the doom that the future will hold. They may see hidden meanings and visions of despair for the future, and struggle with misinterpreting things people say. This is highly uncharacteristic for an ESFP, since they are usually very optimistic and friendly people who want to maintain harmony.
How to help an ESFP experiencing stress:
– Listen thoughtfully and patiently
– Give them space initially to sort out their feelings, but be ready to talk to them as ESFPs are often helped by talking things through.
– Understand that they will be irrational. Be patient with this.
– Don’t tell them how to fix it. This makes them feel more helpless.
– Encourage them to exercise or spend some time outdoors.
– Tell them what they are doing well.
– Spend time playing with pets
– Ask for help (it’s okay!)

The Dreamers (NF Types)
INFP – The Healer
What stresses out an INFP:
– Rigidity in rules and timelines
– Having values violated
– Not enough time alone. Too much extraverting.
– Too many demands on their time
– Small-talk
– A lack of authenticity from others
– Having their creativity stifled
– Having to focus too extensively on sensory/concrete details
– Criticism or confrontation
– Fear that they might lose someone or something (relationship/task, etc,..)
When under stress, an INFP gets lost in internal turmoil. They feel caught between pleasing others and maintaining their own integrity and taking care of their well-being. Their natural tendency to identify with others, compounded with their self-sacrificial tendencies, leaves them confused about who they really are. They feel lost and perplexed during stressful times; and as stress builds they can fall into the grip of their inferior function, extraverted thinking. When this happens, they will do things that are typically out of character. They may become obsessed with fixing perceived problems, and righting wrongs. They may blurt out hostile thoughts or engage in destructive fantasies directed at just about anyone available. They also may have biting sarcasm and cynicism. They may become aggressively critical to others and themselves, dwelling on all the “facts” necessary to support their overwhelming sense of failure.
How to help an INFP experiencing stress:
– Give them space and time alone to sort out their feelings.
– Validate their feelings.
– Remind them of their strengths.
– Don’t give them advice. This will only make them feel worse.
– Let them “get away” from it all.
– Exercise can help. However, with these types it’s best not to suggest it when they are stressed, but after, as a solution.
– Forgive them if they’ve been overly critical while stressed.
– Let them work on a project they’ve been interested in, but maybe have been too busy to spend time on.

ENFP – The Inspirer
What stresses out an ENFP:
– Environments where rules are rigidly enforced
– Focusing on repetitive, detailed tasks
– Having to focus too much on sensory details
– Having to focus too much on the past or present
– Not being able to use their intuition
– Constraints on brainstorming or envisioning
– A lack of outside stimulation
– Being micromanaged
– Having creativity stifled
– Having to complete projects before they’re ready
– Criticism
– Lack of appreciation
– Having their values violated
– Overextending themselves for others
ENFPs tend to overextend themselves, and procrastinate, which is often a source of stress as it complicates their lives. When they become stressed, their naturally charming natures become more irritable and over-sensitive. When stressed, ENFPs feel alienated and engage in deceptions to obscure what is occurring within themselves. They will feel that they are losing control over their own independent identities and feel conflicted by intruding circumstances. During continued stress, they may fall into the grip of their inferior function, introverted sensing. When this happens, they become obsessive and depressed. They will become hyper-aware of minor bodily sensations or abnormalities and interpret them as a sign of a serious illness. They may have a hard time communicating clearly, and feel numb and frozen inside. Their thinking may become cloudy and convoluted. They will feel that there are no possibilities or ways out. They may feel overwhelmed, out of control, unable to sort out priorities, and thus become inflexible. Some become obsessive about record keeping, cleaning, or other household tasks.
How to help an ENFP with stress:
– Give them space and time alone to sort out their feelings.
– Remind them that they are able and competent.
– Give them permission to “escape”
– Don’t give them advice. It won’t help right now.
– Don’t ask for details.
– Don’t try to “fix” the problem.
– Meditation often helps ENFPs
– Listen to them.
– Encourage them to exercise
– Encourage them to get enough sleep
– Encourage them to get a massage
– Be warm and kind in the way you speak to them
– After they’ve calmed down a little, ask them if they want help evaluating the situation.

– Having to focus too much on sensory/concrete details
– An overload of sensory stimulation or noise
– Interruptions
– Distress within a close relationship
– Having their values violated
– Not enough alone time. Too much extraverting.
– Working with closed-minded people
– Lack of appreciation or understanding
– Unfamiliar environments with overwhelming amounts of details
– Having plans disrupted
– Not having a clear direction
– Lack of harmony
– Criticism and conflict
– Not being able to use their intuition or envision the future
– Having to focus too much on the present
When under stress, the INFJ feels fragmented or lost. They feel like they can’t be themselves, and feel an urge to act a part to “survive” or fit in. This disassociation can cause physical symptoms for the INFJ, like headaches, IBS, or nausea. The repressed feelings they’re holding onto can cause them to become immobilized. If they are under chronic extreme stress, they may fall into the grip of their inferior function, extraverted sensing. When this happens, they may engage in indulgent, self-destructive habits like binge-eating, watching too much television, over-exercising, or drinking too much. This often feels like an out-of-body experience to them. What they do provides no pleasure, but feels somewhat robotic and out of control. After this occurs, they dwell in self-hatred, falling even more into guilt over what they’ve done. They may become uncharacteristically angry and quick-tempered, unreasonable, and irrational. They may become obsessed with details in their outer world; obsessively cleaning or doing housework. They stumble over their words, and their intense feelings may eventually lead them to a state of complete exhaustion.
How to help an INFJ experiencing stress:
– Give them space.
– Reduce sensory stimulation; music, interruptions, TV, etc,..
– Let them express their thoughts and feelings.
– Understand that they may be irrational. Don’t judge them.
– Don’t give advice. This will only stress them out further.
– Let them take a break from some of their responsibilities
– Encourage them to spend some time in nature, walking or reading a book.
– Take a walk with them if they want company.
– Encourage their less serious side, and let them relieve emotional tension by letting them cry through a sappy movie or novel of some sort.
– Be forgiving if they’ve been overly harsh or critical while under stress. Chances are, they will feel very guilty about it.

ENFJ – The Giver
What stresses out an ENFJ:
– Being in critical or confrontational environments
– Lack of appreciation or affirmation
– Lack of harmony
– Unexpected change
– Inadequate time to complete work to their standards
– Tense relationships or environments
– Having to do mundane, repetitive tasks
– Having to conform with something that goes against their values
– Over-empathizing with others to the point of losing track of their own needs
– Being misunderstood or not trusted
– People not living up to their idealized expectations
When an ENFJ experiences stress, they often disassociate themselves from the situation in an effort to protect their sense of well-being and togetherness. They may repress the unpleasant side of life for so long, that it gradually intensifies until the ENFJ explodes with emotion and/or charged anger. Often the ENFJ’s body will reflect pent-up stress by manifesting various physical symptoms, like headaches, shoulder tension or an upset stomach. In the case of chronic stress, the ENFJ may fall into the grip of their inferior function, introverted thinking. When this happens, the ENFJ may uncharacteristically lash out at others, obsess over their mistakes, lack of competence and flaws. Eventually, these criticisms will turn inward and the ENFJ will withdraw from others to self-criticize. He or she may become obsessive about analyzing irrelevant data to find some ultimate truth or reason for their stress.
How to help an ENFJ experiencing stress:
– Acknowledge how they feel.
– Let them talk it out.
– Remind them of their strengths and contributions.
– Don’t use logic to talk them out of their stress.
– Don’t ignore them, even if they seem irrational.
– Give them a change of scenery to get away from the situation.
– Go outdoors. Do some type of exercise with them.
– Watch a lighthearted movie or comedy with them.
– Do not patronize or dismiss their concerns.

The Investigators (NT Types)
INTJ – The Mastermind
What stresses out an INTJ:
–Being in an environment that doesn’t appreciate their skills, visions, or ideas.
– Not enough alone time. Too much extraverting.
– Too much noise or sensory input.
– Working with those they see as lazy, incompetent, or ignorant.
– Having to pay attention to too many details at once.
– Being in unfamiliar environments.
– Having their well-settled plans disrupted.
– Too much focus on the here-and-now.
– Not being able to use their intuition to envision the future.
When in a state of stress, the INTJ can feel an immense amount of pressure – as if everything is on the line. To an INTJ, this often means the ability to produce something significant is somehow stifled. They may find themselves overwhelmed, and thinking about ideas and options that don’t have a productive end. As stress increases, the INTJ can become argumentative and disagreeable. Social interaction becomes increasingly difficult; and they may become preoccupied with obsessive ideas and plans. They may start to spend a massive amount of time fighting horrible thoughts, and feelings of worthlessness. They will ruminate about their mistakes, inadequacies and weaknesses, and stop progress on a project for fear of failure. In a case of chronic stress, the INTJ may fall into the grip of their inferior function; extraverted sensing. When this happens, they may give into self-destructive indulgences, like over-eating, over-exercising, alcoholism, or buying lots of useless items. They may obsessively clean or re-organize files.
How to help an INTJ experiencing stress:
– Give them space, and time alone to process their thoughts and feelings.
– Reduce sensory stimulation like noise, TV, radio, or bright lights.
– Let them express their thoughts and feelings without judgment. Understand that they may be irrational.
– Don’t give them advice. This will only make them feel worse.
– Give them a break from responsibilities.
– Encourage them to get enough sleep at night.
– Help them lighten their schedule, or cancel unnecessary activities.
– After some time of solitude, encourage them to get a change of scenery by going outdoors.

ENTJ – The Executive
What stresses out an ENTJ:
– Being in an environment that lacks vision or ideas for the future.
– Being in an environment where others don’t appreciate their vision.
– Being interrupted.
– Being surrounded by (or guilty of) incompetence.
– Poorly managed change.
– Laziness.
– Having to be a follower instead of a leader.
– Not being able to make their goals come to fruition.
– Having to deal with intense emotions from others.
– Feeling guilt over being critical towards others.
– Not having their strongly held values validated or respected.
– Small talk or frivolous conversations.
When experiencing stress, ENTJs may at first become argumentative and combative with anyone who is causing it. They may feel that they are losing control, and feel an urgent need to complete a task. If the stress continues, they become distracted by the urgency and need to get something done. They may engage in compulsive, misdirected activities like cleaning, counting, or inspecting. They will feel a growing sense of failure, and a rising sense of anger and frustration. If they are in a state of chronic stress, they may fall into the grip of their inferior function, introverted feeling. When this happens they may become uncharacteristically emotional and furious and withdraw from others to prevent anyone seeing their lack of emotional stability. They may become hypersensitive about their relationships, misinterpreting tiny, insignificant details and believing that others hate or dislike them.
How to help an ENTJ experiencing stress:
– Give them some space and time alone to sort out their feelings.
– Listen and let them talk it out when they’re ready.
– Discuss information or ideas that could lead to solutions.
– Don’t be overly sympathetic or emotional.
– Give them a change of scenery by getting outdoors with them.
– Encourage them to vent their frustration without fear of judgment.
– Remind them that they are OK, and it is perfectly fine to feel the way they do and that you won’t judge them.

INTP – The Thinker
What stresses out an INTP:
– Being in an environment where they feel controlled by others.
– Not being allowed to go with the flow of the moment.
– Being required to do simple and repetitive tasks.
– Being surrounded by individuals they see as incompetent.
– A lack of autonomy.
– Being in charge of the quality of another person’s work.
– Not enough alone time. Too much extraverting.
– Being immersed in emotionally charged environments.
– Being in a place where their expertise is not appreciated.
– People “barging in” on their space.
– Not having their strongly held values validated.
When an INTP begins to experience stress, they often feel highly self-critical and powerless. If stress continues, the INTP feels as if their mind is blocked and they can’t access all the vital information they’ve stored there. Their creativity comes to a halt and they may suffer from stage fright, writer’s block, and a general inhibition of their usual ingenious thinking. The INTP may become self-conscious and distracted in anticipation of failure. If they become too overwhelmed with stress, they may stop taking any risks and fail to gain the expertise and mastery they need. In the case of chronic stress, the INTP may fall into the grip of their inferior function, extroverted feeling. This may cause them to have uncharacteristic emotional outbursts, and become edgy, illogical, inefficient and obsessed with details.
How to help an INTP experiencing stress:
– Give them alone time and space
– Excuse them from some of their responsibilities
– Let them get away from everything
– Don’t ask them how they feel or if they’re okay
– Encourage them to have some alone time exercising
– Let them know it’s okay to feel unreasonable sometimes
– Stay out of the way and forgive out-of-characteristic behavior

ENTP – The Inventor
What stresses out an ENTP:
– An environment where rules are rigidly enforced
– A lack of change or progression
– A lack of outside stimulation
– Being micromanaged
– Having their creativity stifled
– Being forced to make decisions or complete projects before they’re ready
– Working with individuals they view as incompetent
– Not having their visions appreciated
– Having their principles violated
– Having to focus too long on mundane details
– Overextending themselves
When an ENTP is experiencing stress, they become distracted and overwhelmed, losing their signature “can do” attitude. They may feel incompetent, inept, and inadequate. They can become overwhelmed with fear, panic, and anxiety and will feel a need to escape whatever situation is plaguing them. Their creativity will be stifled, and if the stress isn’t handled they will fall into the grip of their inferior function, introverted sensing. When they fall into the grip of their inferior function, they will become uncharacteristically quiet and reserved. They will feel depressed and stew on ways they have failed. They may notice minor bodily changes and become convinced that they are suffering from some life-threatening disease. They often become hypochondriacs, imagining all kinds of ailments that are befalling them physically.
How to help an ENTP experiencing stress:
– Give them time alone to deal with their feelings
– Avoid patronizing them, even if they are being irrational
– Don’t try to “solve the problem”
– Listen without making judgments, or trying to talk them out of their negative state
– Encourage them to have some time alone to exercise
– Encourage them to get enough rest
– Give them a massage
– After they’ve calmed down a little, ask if they want help

Fox Business Network’s Trish Regan said Tuesday that she is concerned about the GOP tax plan’s impact on individuals.
Regan said that she doesn’t think it is “fair” for corporations to get a tax cut at the expense of individuals, especially since President Trump Donald John TrumpREAD: Cohen testimony alleges Trump knew Stone talked with WikiLeaks about DNC emails Trump urges North Korea to denuclearize ahead of summit Venezuela's Maduro says he fears 'bad' people around Trump MORE has repeatedly touted the plan as giving a tax cut to all Americans.
“Effectively, individuals are carrying the water for these corporations,” Regan said. “They get that great tax cut on the corporate side but people are not going to get it on the individual side and I just don’t think that’s fair.”
On her show, "The Intelligence Report," Regan played clips of Trump pitching his tax plan, including one where he called tax reform a “big, beautiful Christmas present” for the American people.

“I don’t think it’s going to be much of a present,” she said. “It’s a little like getting coal in your stocking because your tax bill’s going to go up."
The House and Senate both recently passed versions of the tax plan, and are currently negotiating to iron out differences between the two bills. Congressional leaders have said they hope to have a plan on the president’s desk by Christmas, and some have said a bill could come as early as Tuesday.
Critics of the bill have said that it will primarily benefit corporations and extremely wealthy Americans, hurting middle-class and low-income Americans.
A new poll released Tuesday found that the majority of Americans said they think the bill is likely to hurt them and their families.
Republicans are tinkering with their bill in a House-Senate conference in ways that could move toward addressing Regan's concerns.
The Hill reported Tuesday that negotiators have reached a tentative agreement to have a 21 percent corporate rate, rather than the 20 percent rate initially approved. They also are considering lowering the top individual tax rate to 37 percent. | positive |
GOP frontrunner Newt Gingrich: Poor children have no 'habits of working... unless it's illegal'
Told ABC on Thursday 'I'm going to be the nominee'
Republican presidential frontrunner and self-proclaimed nominee Newt Gingrich believes poor kids have no work ethic -- unless it comes to doing something illegal.
The former House Speaker is sticking with his argument that child labor laws should be changed and poor children should be put to work mopping the hallways of their schools or greeting patrons at the library.
'Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and nobody around them who works,' Mr Gingrich told fundraisers Thursday night at a dinner outside Des Moines, Iowa.
SCROLL DOWN FOR VIDEO
Sticking with it: Newt Gingrich, the current Republican presidential frontrunner, reiterated his position that poor children should be put to work
'So they literally have no habit of showing up on Monday. They have no habit of staying all day. They have no habit of "I do this and you give me cash"... unless it's illegal.'
Mr Gingrich has drawn scorn from the left for his remarks about child labor, but the newest contender for the Republican presidential nomination is sticking to his guns.
'I believe the kids could mop the floor and clean up the bathroom and get paid for it, and it would be OK,' he told the crowd.

Mr Gingrich has said he thinks the poorest Americans have no in-grained work ethic and the surest way to combat poverty is the teach them they can earn money for their labor.
Clean up: Mr Gingrich argues that putting the poorest children to work cleaning schools can teach them responsibility and a work ethic
Last month, Mr Gingrich drew fire for saying he believes child labor laws are 'truly stupid' and that kids as young a 9 should be given paying jobs to teach them the benefits of hard work.
Thursday, he mocked his critics, saying his proposals would help break the cycle of abject poverty in America's cities: 'And then who would rich liberals worry about?'
'I’m going to be the nominee,' the former Speaker told ABC News in an interview on Thursday.
'It’s very hard not to look at the recent polls and think that the odds are very high I’m going to be the nominee.'
The thrice-married Gingrich also said there were no more skeletons in his closet that he was aware of.
Gingrich is currently polling six percentage points ahead of former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney and has about 26.6 percent support in the wildly fluctuating Republican presidential field, according to RealClearPolitics.com.
A new poll from Rasmussen Reports also gives him the edge against President Barack Obama with 45 percent support versus President Obama's 43 percent.
He is the only GOP candidate, other than Gov Romney, to beat the president in pre-election polls.

LanTorrent is a free program for the Windows operating system that prevents torrent file corruption by backing up the configuration and ensuring that all resources are available before launching the torrent client.
If you download and seed torrents regularly, you may have come upon a situation where you had to move files to another directory or even a network location.
Maybe you do so regularly once torrent files are complete on the local system, maybe you do it occasionally to free up disk space.
If you do so from within the client, the new location is picked up automatically and torrents continue to be downloaded or seeded just like before.
Issues can arise when a network location is unavailable at the time you start the torrent client. If that happens, it will corrupt all torrents that are not accessible at the time.
While some torrent clients may be able to fix the issue later on once the network resource is back up or connected to the device, others may require manual fixing which can take a long time depending on the number of torrents that have been corrupted by the process.
LanTorrent
Note: LanTorent requires the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.
LanTorrent is a wrapper for torrent clients that will prevent corruption in this special case. Basically, what it does is to check whether all required network resources are available before launching the torrent client.
If it notices that a resource is offline, it won't launch the torrent client thus preventing corruption in first place.
The application displays a configuration menu on first start. It tries to pick up the torrent client automatically that is installed on the computer but lets you pick a manual client as well which can be useful if the detected client is not the on used primarily.
It supports popular clients such as uTorrent, qBittorrent, Vuze, Deluge or Tixati, but no option to add a custom client which means that you are out of luck if your client is not supported by the program.
The configuration menu provides you with options to change the backup location, define the frequency in which backups are created, and startup parameters.
The program creates backups on close of the torrent application automatically by default, but you can modify the setting to create backups in intervals or on application start instead.
To use the program, simply run it after you have configured it. It will launch the selected torrent application automatically when you do provided that network resources are available.

Every once in a while you get stories like this one, about the underrepresentation of conservatives in academics, that treat ideological divides as being somehow equivalent to racial differences. This is a really, really bad analogy.
And it’s not just the fact that you can choose your ideology, but not your race. Ideologies have a real effect on overall life outlook, which has a direct impact on job choices. Military officers are much more conservative than the population at large; so? (And funny how you don’t see opinion pieces screaming “bias” and demanding an effort to redress the imbalance.)
It’s particularly troubling to apply some test of equal representation when you’re looking at academics who do research on the very subjects that define the political divide. Biologists, physicists, and chemists are all predominantly liberal; does this reflect discrimination, or the tendency of people who actually know science to reject a political tendency that denies climate change and is broadly hostile to the theory of evolution?
Now, I don’t mean to say that political bias in the academy is absent, although it’s not consistent: I can well imagine that it’s hard to be a conservative in some social sciences, but in economics, the obvious bias in things like acceptance of papers at major journals is towards, not against, a doctrinaire free-market view. But the point is that doing head counts is a terrible way to assess that bias. | positive |

Though my general OS of choice is Debian Linux, it’s not practical for everything. At my office, for instance, I run Windows to make use of most of my industry’s programs (which are not cross-compiled for multiple OSes). However, using Linux so often leaves me with a frustrating desire at times for something more powerful when I am in Windows, and craving certain tools. The more I began to think about this, the more deficient Windows became to me – and I longed for a solution outside of “Well, then go install Linux!” At times, that’s simply not an option.
At the same time, many Windows users don’t know what they’re missing if they’ve never worked with Linux – things like virtual desktops and command pipes have not even begun to find their way into Windows, and I can’t understand why. The development community has certainly not ignored them, though – so I’ve taken a few minutes to outline a few tools that a Windows user can make use of to help bring some power back to the desktop.
You may have never heard of or thought about these types of tools – they may very well be solutions looking for problems to an average user that has spent much of life in a Windows world. But I promise you – spend some time with a few of them (especially the virtual desktops!) and you’ll begin to find yourself integrating them into your workflow and hopefully being more productive because of it.
As a final note – I have chosen the “portable” versions of each app wherever possible. This is because one of my absolute least-favorite aspects of Windows (and, since OS X 10.5, Mac OS as well) is the multitude of stray registry pieces every installed program seems to need and its insistence on installing everything into a privileged directory (“C:\Program Files”). Ergo, if I don’t have to install it, I won’t.

Virtual desktops, aka Workspaces, are an integral part of pretty much every OS aside from Windows. Imagine your desktop, but then imagine multiple versions – each running different programs. You can switch between them with a button press or a click of your mouse, moving seamlessly from one suite of programs to the next. Maybe your music is on one, Photoshop or Lightroom on another, and your term paper on another with Firefox loaded up with your research tools. Or, how about a virtual machine running fullscreen, just a button-press away from your current desktop? Imagine not having to navigate through 8 different Firefox windows to find the one with the tabs you wanted to look at, or the Explorer window that’s opened to the right folder, because each instance is with the programs that you’re using it with.
Using virtual desktops means no longer being slave to a Start bar with 33 programs on it and a desktop that you’re constantly shuffling which things are open and which are minimized. Linux users have had this ability practically since time began, and Apple even joined in with its “Spaces” – one of the most celebrated additions to OS X 10.5. However, Microsoft has refused to get with the program – even Windows 8 is still missing this feature.
VirtuaWin Portable is a wonderful solution to bring this feature to Windows. It’s free, it’s fast, and it runs from a USB stick with no administrator privileges required. It’s extensively configurable, allowing you to choose and define almost all aspects of its behavior – from hotkeys to task tray. After growing used to this behavior on Linux, I’ve found it to be a vital part of my workflow – my day-to-day office work now allows me to move between multiple screens that each have a “project” going, without interfering with each other.
Command-Line Upgrade
Cygwin
One of my main reasons for loving Linux is the power of some of its command-line tools. Things like piping (feeding the results of one program directly into another), the powers of awk, grep and sed, and the love of my administrative life – the find tool – become a habit that is impossible to break when transitioning between OSes. Let’s face it – Windows Explorer, even with its upgraded indexing (and Powershell on the server), is crappier than even the worst file managers on Linux… and the most powerful file manager on ‘nix is the command line.
Cygwin brings back that power by installing a complete Linux API that runs in Windows, and suddenly a proper terminal is once again just a click away. It also brings with it a full complement of command-line tools that you’d expect from ‘nix, including all of the above powerhouses. It illustrates the entirety of the OS the way that Linux does, right down to pipes and streams and signals if the app is built to use it. Even cron, the event scheduler, is implemented!
While we’re on the subject of apps, it’s another place where Cygwin shines – many common Linux apps have been brought over to run natively on Windows within Cygwin, merging some of the best of Linux and Windows. For instance, Windows can have an appropriate OpenSSH server or Apache 2 server running on it, with configs that can be ported from Linux. Tools like SCP (Secure CoPy) and FTP can run natively on Windows without the need for other more complex and less secure third-party solutions.
Cygwin even has the ability to connect to other X11-servers running remotely (think Windows Remote Desktop, only better), making it an immensely powerful tool for the Linux user. Though most Windows people won’t know or care why they should run something so convoluted, it’s an added bonus to an already powerful OS enhancement.
Oh, and once you use your first cron-initiated find -> rsync from one Windows machine to another Windows machine, you may just never go back. Dropbox will seem like child’s play.
File Security
Encryption – TrueCrypt
File Deletion – Eraser Portable
Working on a system that’s not yours can have a lot of consequences to it, but the worst of which is probably that when you lose access to that system, others gain access to the contents – both current and past. Mario has recently released a wonderful article on the functions of TrueCrypt, and I strongly urge you to take a look at it.
For everything that TrueCrypt has going for it to protect your current files, there is still the concern about having data pulled from the past. For that, I strongly recommend keeping Eraser handy on a USB drive somewhere. Eraser is a one-trick pony – it makes sure the dead stay dead (though a cautionary note that on NAND flash drives and SSDs, you need to be extra careful). Sure, you could “Secure delete” from the Recycle Bin, but that removes EVERY file in the bin – something that is not always desired (especially on someone else’s system).
The only other note here is to remember that things like MS Office will make “ghost” copies of your files while you view or edit them – even if they’re on an encrypted USB key. Always be smart and know what your software is doing – the whole OpenOffice suite comes in a portable version, too, if you need that!
Tracing and Monitoring
System – Process Monitor
Network – Wireshark
Sometimes, it’s nice to know what’s really going on in your system. Whether it be finding all the registry keys for a file or finding all of the things it touches on the hard drive, there are points you just need to know. Process Monitor, which has been in existence for ages but formerly as FileMon and RegMon, is just the tool for the job.
Process Monitor looks for many of the API calls originating from all running programs, and allows you to drill down to see what each process is requesting from the OS. This allows you to easily trace through a program’s request for registry keys and files to find out how your software is behaving. It’s useful for debugging, or even just for the curiosity of why/where a file has been accessed. The search filters are incredibly powerful and non-destructive, meaning you can analyze the same log for multiple things – which is fantastic for a real-time capture tool!
The other useful tool for diagnosis is WireShark, which you will see whole tutorials for on TG soon in the SysAdmin corner. Wireshark is a packet-capture and analysis tool, which basically means it listens to everything on your network and then digs through it at a very, very low level. If you’re not familiar with what could be gained from such a deep examination of your network, fear not – it’s not for everyone (even most power users) and you’ll learn soon enough how to use some of its basics right here. For now, know that it exists, know that it is powerful and know that when you want to know why computer X is not connecting to computer Y, Wireshark will likely help you find the solution – if you know how to ask it.
Down Time
RPG – NetHack Portable
Strategy – Battle for Wesnoth Portable
Card – Wagic: The Homebrew
Hey, we all need a break, right? Don’t judge me! Hey, I feel you judging me… ok, so maybe Wagic is a little shameful, maybe… but still…
Final Thoughts
Though not everyone has the list of grudges against Windows that I do, it’s pretty safe to say that some things could stand to be implemented a little more cleanly and directly for the power-user in all of us. Given that, these tools have helped ease my frustrations countless times when I’ve encountered a problem or need that is particularly deficient in Windows. Once you spend a little time using things like virtual desktops or the Linux “find” tool, it’s just hard to go back.
Every one of these apps is free, and many are very small and don’t even require installation. I hope that you’ll take the time to check them out, and find out what you’ve been missing. | positive |

There’s a whole lot of lying going on in Trumpland. Old Man Trump has a shaky grasp on reality: from outright denials of something easily provable (like his claim that he didn’t tweet that global warming was a Chinese conspiracy, when anyone with internet access can see that he did) to statements so obviously false that no one needs to prove them otherwise (like his claim, that he finally walked back, that Obama founded ISIS). But his popularity suggests that his constituents are happy to swallow every wingding he throws them and barely shrug when he is caught out by the better informed.
As a professor with a recent book on forgery, I’ve made a study of how criminals construct plausible lies. Art forgers succeed when they create an object that is carefully and tightly woven into true history, so that its existence is plausible. The object, a three-dimensional, hand-crafted lie, is simply posing as an object that has been lost, like a painting by Rubens that is referenced in historical documents but the location of which is unknown. It takes research and wile to lace these lying objects with threads of truth that make them plausible, even to experts, who in theory should know better.
Advertisement:
The irony of the Trump case is that none of the usual approaches apply to his falsehoods. He makes little effort to mask his lies because he has already established himself as a liar (“Trump being Trump”), just like he can get away with saying almost anything because he’s already established himself as an asshole. (See the recent book by Aaron James, "Assholes: A Theory of Donald Trump.")
His is a very different strategy, one in which he understands that his fans are his fans, regardless of what he says, even against them. (He makes sexist comments constantly, yet some women will vote for him; his racist comments won't stop some minorities from voting for him, too, against all logic.) Most of his falsehoods are so blatant that they require no analysis or investigation to uncover.
Take, for example, a statement so obviously false that you wonder whether Trump has a secret strategy to deliberately misspeak. Like when he said, “President Obama. He’s the founder of ISIS.” And in case we weren’t quite sure we heard that right, he went on to say, “He’s the founder of ISIS. He’s the founder. He founded ISIS.”
Many Americans unfortunately believe whatever they hear most often and at the highest volume. Trump throws out conspiracy theories that make some folks think, Huh, really? But these are the folks who will not delve further but are satisfied by the vehemence with which the statement was said.
So how does Trump construct his more elaborate lies? His implausible utterances come in two forms, one more disconcerting than the other.
Esquire's Charles P. Pierce recently noted that Trump entirely made up a “fact” that there were nearly riots in “11 cities” in the U.S. because there were calls for a “moment of silence” to honor Micah Johnson, the gunman in Dallas who shot and killed five police officers. This is an advanced level of lie, one that feels far more carefully constructed than the usual eruptions, like denying something he clearly said or tweeted.
Advertisement:
First, there was the calculated real-sounding pseudo-specificity of saying “11 cities.” Not “lots of cities,” not “a city” and certainly not naming particular cities (so this statement could then be checked out). But “11 cities” sounds like a non-invented number. (Since it is not a round number; it doesn’t sound approximate but rather accurate.) It’s a good choice for a lie. People trust specificity, but that specificity can also be investigated, and so this phrase strikes a careful balance. Then he added the “moment of silence” which in its brevity and passivity (people usually do nothing during a moment of silence, so it is difficult to spot them doing it) is very hard to prove or disprove as having happened.
Now, not one news source, liberal or conservative, in the U.S. found any evidence to back up his statement (either the “11 cities” part or the “moment of silence” part). So it was clearly a lie. But the level of artistry or orchestration in designing it made this statement feel less like “Trump being Trump” and more nasty, engineered to encourage fear and the sense that violence, often in support of him, is boiling over.
Any one of the dozens of Trump’s fraud-filled statements would sink another politician’s career. But Trump seems to be on a roll with outrageous and overtly false comments. Maybe there’s something to this tactic. If you accidentally say one thing that’s offensive, or a lie, and you’re caught doing so, and you appear with your tail between your legs to apologize, that can end a career.
But repeatedly boldly stating offensive things and lies and proudly boasting of this as a character trait, something not to apologize for but to amplify — then it’s a ticket to complete freedom. Because people, even your fans, already think you’re a lying asshole. They expect, even are eager, for more outrageous statements.

Now that he’s gotten the ball rolling, he can say anything he likes. And this is a brilliant strategy. It recalls the TV show "South Park." It is so offensive, offending every ethnic and political group it can find, that on the balance, it winds up offending no one. It's just “South Park" being "South Park.” And so the show can get away with anything. Trump seems totally unfazed when caught in a bald-faced lie. He shrugs and moves on. His fans seem to do likewise. Truth is of no particular importance, to him or them.
But then there’s the little matter of what he refuses to lie about or honestly deny.
During the presidential debate, one thing Trump refused to speak out on, neither denying nor confirming, is whether he paid any federal income tax in recent years. Now that’s interesting.
Advertisement:
Several major news sources pointed out that Clinton's accusation about federal tax payment really tripped up Trump — in what appeared to be almost a confession — or at least a refusal to outright deny that he has not paid all the taxes he should have in recent years. Even his aides were avoiding the question afterward.
Now, normally if you’re accused of something that could be interpreted as a serious crime, you would vehemently deny the accusation or dismiss it as so ridiculous that it is unworthy of a response. Those are the natural responses of the innocent, particularly an alpha male like the Donald. Trump did neither.
Yesterday, the New York Times published a story revealing details of Trump's 1995 tax filings that show a major loss of income — more than $916 million — which could have caused Trump to not have to pay federal income taxes for years after.

This time, it was Trump’s refusal to speak out that hinted at a possible truth. The one time he refuses to lie perhaps he reveals meaning in that refusal. | positive |
British Transport Police said that two youths were running up and down carriages of the 20.20 Southend to London train, "probably to avoid paying a fare".
Two ticket inspectors for the train operator C2C challenged them and asked them to leave, at East Tilbury station, but one of the inspectors was attacked.
The injured man was taken to hospital suffering from a single puncture wound. His injuries are said to be not life-threatening or life-changing.
The train has been sealed for forensic investigation and police are reviewing CCTV footage of the incident, which happened at around 8.50pm last night.
The two men were white and aged around 18. One was wearing a black hooded top. The second was wearing a grey top and a grey flat cap.
The incident comes just days after a financial manager dubbed "big man" threw a suspected teenage fare dodger off a train in Scotland.
Alan Pollock was applauded by passengers when he dragged 19 year-old Sam Main from the Edinburgh to Perth train after the student failed to produce a valid ticket during a lengthy confrontation with a conductor.
Mr Pollock, 33, became an internet sensation after a passenger uploaded footage of the incident, last Friday, to the internet. The clip has been viewed more than 600,000 times. | positive |
When you think of penguins, you may picture them surrounded by snow and ice. However, there is one species of penguins that is acclimated to warmer climates. African penguins live in colonies on the coast and islands of southern Africa.
Also called jackass penguins, they make donkey-like braying sounds to communicate. They can dive under water for up to 2.5 minutes while trying to catch small fish such as anchovies and sardines. They may also eat squid and crustaceans.
The African penguin averages about 60 cm (2 ft.) tall and weighs up to 3.6 kg (8 lb.). Their short tails and flipper-like wings that help them navigate in the water, while their webbed feet help propel them.
To keep dry and insulated in cold water, African penguins are covered in dense, water-proof feathers. These feathers are white on the belly and black on the back, which aids in camouflage. Their white belly will blend with the light when predators look up at them from below, and their black backs meld with the darker seas when predators look down on them from above.
African penguins breed within their colonies; they do not travel to give birth. The penguins nest in burrows they dig out of their own excrement, called guano, or in areas under boulders or bushes. Recent removal of the guano for fertilizer has forced the penguins to change their habits and nest primarily under bushes and boulders. Their nests protect eggs and chicks from the sun and from predators like cats and seagulls. Eggs are laid in pairs and both parents help incubate them. Both parents also feed the newly-born chicks. After 2-4 years, the chicks will mature and lay their own eggs.
Conservation Status
African penguins can live for an average of 10-15 years, however many do not reach their full life span, and populations have been steadily decreasing. The loss of nesting places due to guano removal has contributed to the population decline as well as a decrease of food due to overfishing and pollution. As such, African penguins are now considered endangered by IUCN’s Red List. This means there is a high risk they may become extinct.
What You Can Do to Help
If you would like to help the African penguin, you can volunteer, donate, or adopt a penguin through the Southern African Foundation for the Conservation of Coastal Birds.

The search for Salah Abdeslam, one of the suspects believed to be linked to last Friday's attacks in Paris, has extended to the Netherlands, CNN reported Thursday, citing a source close to the investigation. However, a representative for the Dutch justice ministry has denied the report.
Nathalie Gallant, the lawyer for Abdeslam’s brother Mohamed, said that the family has not heard from Salah. She added that they hope Salah will surrender after hearing about the death of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the alleged mastermind of the attacks that killed at least 129 people and injured about 350 others. The CNN report also said that Belgium, where Salah and Abaaoud lived and spent time together in jail, has become the focal point for the manhunt.
Six raids across Belgium were carried on Thursday, leading to the arrest of nine people. Authorities said that some of them were linked to Bilal Hadfi, one of the suicide bombers who blew himself up during the attacks in the French capital.
According to a Thursday report by the Telegraph, which cited a Belgian newspaper, Salah was spotted in Belgium and a source talked to him.
"Salah is in Molenbeek. I met him on Tuesday night. He is there, but not for long," the source told Sudpresse, adding that Salah regrets his actions now. "He told me he had gone too far. He was overwhelmed by what was happening. This could have consequences for his family."
The report added that there could be retaliation from fighters of the Islamic State group, also known as ISIS, because he was unable to complete his task of "martyrdom." Salah had allegedly arranged for the car that was used by the attackers and had fled during the attacks, while another brother of Salah, Brahim, 31, blew himself up outside the Comptoir Voltaire Café on Friday, injuring three people.
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls said Thursday that the country does not know if Salah was in France or Belgium, or whether more people linked to the attackers were still on the run.
"The threat is there. We don't know at this point in the investigation if there are groups, individuals, who are directly linked to the attack on Friday evening," Valls told France 2, a local news network, according to the Telegraph, adding: "We don't know yet one can imagine. That's why the threat is still there."
Valls also reportedly said: "We must not rule anything out. I say it with all the precautions needed. But we know and bear in mind that there is also a risk of chemical or bacteriological weapons," adding: "The macabre imagination of the masterminds is limitless."
French police officials had conducted a raid in Saint-Denis on Wednesday and had arrested nine people from there. The raid reportedly targeted Abaaoud and Salah. | positive |
Planning is well advanced to renew and modernise the Big Pineapple experience.
The iconic Big Pineapple site is situated on a large 170ha land holdings straddling both sides of the Nambour Connection Road, near Woombye and Nambour on the Sunshine Coast.
The large scale of the site provides great potential to host new attractions and again become a highly popular destination, generating jobs, and economic opportunities for the Sunshine Coast hinterland.
In addition to the iconic Big Pineapple structure, visitor centre and train, the site is home to a popular zoo. The site also hosts an annual music festival and other events, along with small business and community uses.
The tourism zoning over the original Big Pineapple footprint allows for a diversity of tourism related uses, and many new business opportunities. A key project is to initiate a food production and agribusiness collaboration cluster, with R&D, storage and distribution facilities. This will leverage the positive brand of the Sunshine Coast produce and the Big Pineapple.
While the Big Pineapple currently has low visitation compared to historic levels, planning is well advanced to renew and sustain the future of the Sunshine Coast’s most famous icon. This is underpinned by a whole-of-site master plan to guide the future success of the Big Pineapple.
The Big Pineapple master plan application is now on Public Notification. Any member of the public can make comment to the Sunshine Coast Council by 6 November, with the application av | positive |
