Typical CAIR hypocrisy.
DEARBORN, Mich. (EAG News) – How is the radical Council on American-Islamic Relations bending public school policy to its will?
Two stories from Michigan tell the tale.
From a CAIR press release:
The Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI) said today that a Detroit-area school district has apologized for handing out permission slips for Bible study classes to elementary school students.
CAIR-MI sent a letter to Roseville Public Schools after receiving a complaint from two parents of children who attend Huron Park Elementary School about distribution by teachers of permission slips for the Bible classes at a local Baptist church.
CAIR Executive Director Dawus Walid wrote in a letter to the school district, “School staff and teachers are not to serve as advocates for one particular religion or congregation within a religion by passing out slips inviting parents to give permission for their children to attend religious instruction.”
But that’s precisely what CAIR sought in the nearby Dearborn district.

Hidden Costs That Come With Kitchen Remodeling For the vast majority of people, the budget for their kitchen will start and end with the direct costs associated with paying for the professional remodeling or home improvement service. And while it is true that the almost all the costs incurred during this time are directly related to the service itself, the reality is that one of the costs that homeowners often forget about is the eating-out costs that emerge as a result of homeowners being unable to cook while their kitchen is being upgraded. And while it may seem like a small thing to consider, the fact of the matter is that failing to allocate enough money to eat out while your kitchen is being remodeled could result in you leaving yourself short, and that’s never good! Don’t make this mistake, instead make sure you can afford to eat out in this period or else, if possible, find an alternate location to cook and eat. (707) 592-4319 Back to top | negative |
597 F2d 1018 Quinn v. Southwest Wood Products Inc | OpenJurist 597 F. 2d 1018 - Quinn v. Southwest Wood Products Inc Home 597 F2d 1018 Quinn v. Southwest Wood Products Inc 597 F.2d 1018 Jimmy QUINN, Plaintiff-Appellee, v. SOUTHWEST WOOD PRODUCTS, INC. and Western Auto Supply Company, Defendants-Appellants. No. 77-1701. United States Court of Appeals, Fifth Circuit. July 2, 1979. Lancaster Smith, Harvey L. Davis, Dallas, Tex., for Western Auto supply co. John M. O'Quinn, Houston, Tex., for plaintiff-appellee. Appeal from the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas. Before JONES, CLARK and GEE, Circuit Judges. GEE, Circuit Judge. Advertisement 1 In this case a wooden ladder complying with or exceeding in its design all relevant OSHA and industry standards has been found by a jury to be nevertheless unreasonably dangerous to the user because its design was defective.1 The evidence supporting this finding is sketchy and meager. We conclude that although it is sufficient to permit a guess or suspicion that the ladder failed through faulty design, it is not substantial. Our decision in Simien v. S. S. Kresge Co., 566 F.2d 551 (5th Cir. 1978),2 therefore requires us to reverse if the question of evidentiary sufficiency has been preserved for our review. Since we also conclude that it has been though somewhat inartfully we do so. The Evidence 2 In reviewing the sufficiency of evidence to support a jury verdict, we must consider it all, drawing all reasonable inferences in favor of the prevailing party. In this case, that party is Mr. Quinn. The dispositive issue is whether this stepladder was so defective when it left the manufacturer's hands that it created an unreasonable risk of harm when properly employed in ordinary service for its intended purpose. The claimed defect is one of design alone, that the right rear one of its four legs was so weakened by the manner in which the upper of two lateral braces was let into it as to give way under Mr. Quinn's weight. The testimony of three witnesses is relevant. 3 Mr. Quinn was the only witness who testified about the actual occasion of his fall, and he remembered very little about it. He did recall, and it is not disputed, that he bought the ladder from the retailer-defendant a short time before his injury and had used it only a few times. It was therefore all but new, and the defendants are and do not deny that they are responsible for its then condition. In July of 1970, he erected the ladder and climbed it to paint a building wall, carrying only a partly filled can of paint and a brush. Some short time later he heard a "crack," and the next thing he knew, he and the ladder were on the ground together, and his right arm was severely broken. He testified at one time that it was the right front leg which broke, at others that it was the right rear one, at still another that he does not remember whether any part of the ladder was broken after the fall, and finally that he remembers seeing a crack in a rear leg at that time. This is about all. 4 The list of what he might have been expected to recall but did not is long. He specifically testified that he could not remember: what part of the building he was painting, whether the front or the back of the ladder faced the working surface, what step of the ladder he was standing on, whether it was a high one or a low one, whether he was moving or standing still, whether he had both feet on the same step, how much he weighed or how tall he was, whether he was facing the ladder or the surface being painted, and many more significant details of the incident. In fine, though he was reasonably responsive on direct, he met cross-examination with a litany of "I don't knows." 5 Noting that Mr. Quinn was not well educated and was a manual laborer unversed in such contexts as the courthouse, we indulge in his favor the general inference that his meager and selective recall was the result of the accident's shock and the passage of time. Even so, its vague and conflicting nature, sometimes on such critical matters as where the ladder failed, do not inspire much confidence in it. More, his inability to recall any details of the occasion whatever renders it untestable by cross-examination, as a practical matter. About all we know from him is that while he was somewhere on the ladder he heard a cracking noise and fell. We also select from his conflicting testimony on the subject that most favorable to his case: that after the accident he saw some sort of a crack in the right rear leg of the ladder. As is apparent from the testimony of his expert, Dr. Muster, and from his own photographic exhibits, this must have been a very small one indeed. 6 Dr. Muster, the expert presented by Mr. Quinn, is a professor of mechanical engineering and the holder of numerous degrees, including a Ph.D. in Mechanics. He testified that he received the ladder from plaintiff's counsel about three years after the accident, in a condition indicating that it had seen hard service weathered and paint spattered, with a "splint" nailed over the locus of the crack in question.3 He ran no weight-bearing tests on the ladder but merely removed the splint and observed and photographed the ladder. In order to "enlarge" the crack in question so that he could make what he thought a suitable series of photographs of it, he laid the ladder on its side and removed the lower brace between its rear legs.4 He then loaded weights onto the extreme end of the ladder leg to widen the crack and photographed it. These weights came to around 25 pounds. Somewhere in this process, a temporary support slipped, and the leg broke completely off the ladder under the transverse pressure of the weights loaded on its end. This, of course, rendered any vertical weight-bearing tests on the ladder impossible, by him or by anyone else, and none were ever run on the actual ladder. 7 Dr. Muster was clear that a crack was present when he received the ladder but that the ladder leg was not broken off. His exhibits indicate a hairline check or crack of about one inch in length, running up the center of the right rear leg and disappearing under a washer of about one-inch diameter that secures the end of a steel rod reinforcing the ladder's upper brace along its length. When he broke the ladder, he saw from weathering patterns that some of the crack was old and some was new, but he did not testify to their respective dimensions. Advertisement 8 His further testimony identified the area where he found the original crack and where he broke the ladder as its weakest point of design. This resulted, he testified, from the cutting of a mortise in the inner surface of each of the ladder's rear legs to receive the ends of the upper cross-brace. These spots were further weakened, in his opinion, by the drilling of a hole through the center of each mortise to admit the end of the steel reinforcing rod mentioned above, which was secured at each end by a washer and retaining nut on the outside face of each rear leg. 9 It was his evidence that the ladder is so designed that when it fails, as any structure must if sufficiently loaded, it is at these mortises that the failure will occur. He was also very clear that he had no idea at all what weight the ladder in question would bear without breaking, whether 100 or 1,500 pounds. All he knew was that at some load it would fail and that the failure would be at the spot identified. In response to several hypothetical questions, he opined that if the ladder failed at the point in question under the circumstances that Mr. Quinn described, it was defective. Some of these questions assumed facts not in evidence such as that Mr. Quinn was on one of the two or three top steps on the ladder's five, or that at the time of the break Mr. Quinn "felt a twisting effect on the ladder" but were allowed anyhow, over objection on this ground. 10 We indulge in Dr. Muster's favor the inference that he broke the ladder accidentally and without intending to do so and that a crack of some nature larger than that apparent to the naked eye was present when he received the ladder. In addition, we accept his testimony that the point of failure of this ladder is its weakest design point. Further, we accept his measurement of the mortise's depth at 3/16 inch, of which more later.5 11 Mr. Zetterland was the expert presented by the defendants. He was a graduate engineer who had, in the course of his lengthy practice, designed aircraft structures of wood and investigated a number of ladder accidents. 12 His testimony commenced with identifying and the introduction in evidence of the various industry and governmental standards for ladder safety and design. He then testified to receiving the broken ladder after Dr. Muster's procedures and to tests run by him on prototypes, the original being unavailable for these because broken.6 Before the jury, he placed bathroom scales under the rear legs of one prototype and caused a man weighing more than Mr. Quinn had believed he weighed to climb to the fourth step, next to the top one. Each scale then registered about 40 pounds. Next he testified that it would be impossible for the weight of a man to break a ladder designed like these if the wood in it was sound. Next he referred to the various standards in evidence, including the OSHA standards, testifying that they specify that the brace in question, its mortises and its steel reinforcing rod, be designed as they were in the ladder from which Mr. Quinn fell. Further, he testified, the accident ladder complies with or exceeds all their requirements. He then described a load test performed to destruction by him on another identical prototype ladder, which resisted to 1,600 pounds of pressure.7 The ladders in question were almost twice as strong as code requirements, he stated. He gave it as his opinion that the ladder in question could not have failed from any such static load as Mr. Quinn presented and must have failed from a dynamic load, a blow. He gave his measurements of the critical portions of the accident ladder: the rear leg being 7/16 inch wider than code requirements and the mortise being 1/8 inch deep 1/32 inch.8 Finally, he pointed out that the ladders are of a stronger wood than the codes specify, one which receives an allowance under them. 13 On cross-examination, Mr. Zetterland admitted that the 1/4-inch diameter hole for the 1/6-inch diameter steel rod exceeded it in size by almost 50 percent.9 He also admitted that If the ladder failed in proper use under Mr. Quinn's weight it was defective, probably in materials, but that in his opinion (absent bad wood) it was impossible for it to have done so. 14 The codes in evidence, which we have read in pertinent part with care, reveal compliance with or excess of all requirements by the accident ladder.10 As to the two claimed defects, the codes specify no size for the hole for the reinforcing rod and merely require that the mortise in the rear leg be not Less than 1/8 inch in depth, without specifying a maximum. The dimensions are calculated on an assumption that so-termed Group 3 woods, such as sycamore, will be used. Denser, Group 2 woods, such as the Southern yellow pine of the actual ladder, may be reduced in dimensions by 11 percent since they are stronger. 15 This is the relevant evidence. 16 Weight of and Inferences to be Drawn from the Evidence 17 It is clear that the ladder in question exceeds the codes in all respects relevant here. Mr. Quinn's claim of defect in the ladder is that when the mortise was cut in the ladder's right rear leg and the hole to accommodate the steel tie-rod was drilled through it, too small an amount of wood remained in the leg at that point to comply with code provisions and with safety. We are not engineers, but simple grammar-school mathematics which even judges are capable of performing makes manifest that this is not so as to code compliance. 18 Even if we assume that the codes specify a ladder with such dimensions as Mr. Quinn would have them do a mortise not More than 1/8 inch deep and a hole for rod no larger than the retaining rod the area of the permitted remaining cross-section would be as follows: 19 NOTE: OPINION CONTAINS TABLE OR OTHER DATA THAT IS NOT VIEWABLE TABLE Basic cross-section: 20 3/4" X 1 5/16" = .75 X 1.3125, or .9844 sq. in. Less wood removed by mortise: 21 1/8" X 3/4" = .125 X .75,11 or -.0938 sq. in. 22 Less wood removed by 1/6" diameter hole for rod drilled through mortise: 23 1/6" X (3/4 - 1/8)" = .16 X .625, or -.1000 sq. in. .7906 sq. in. The remaining cross-section in the accident ladder, by a comparable calculation, is 3/4" X 1 3/4" = .75 X 1.75, or 1.3125 sq. in. 3/16" X 3/4" = .1875 X .75, or - .1406 sq. in. 1/4" X (3/4" - 3/16") = .25 X .5625, or - .1406 sq. in. 24 1.0313 sq. in. 25 The above calculations, moreover, make no allowance at all for the 11 percent reduction permitted in code dimensions when a Group 2 wood is used.12 Were this applied, the permitted code cross-section would obviously be five to ten percent smaller than our first calculation produces, but even without this allowance the critical remaining cross-section of the ladder exceeds code requirements significantly, in the ratio of about 1:1.3.13 We must thus commence our evaluation of the evidence with a recognition that Mr. Quinn's ladder was designed to comply with identical and universal industry and governmental design requirements, indeed to overcomply and exceed them by a substantial amount. What exactly that excess is we need not determine, but it was doubtless not less than a safety factor of one-third and probably more on the order of one-half or more. Since it seems reasonable to assume that the approved designs themselves incorporate Some safety factors, we contemplate a ladder very significantly over-designed at the point critical here. 26 Against this over-compliance we must range Mr. Quinn's very general testimony that he heard a "crack" as he fell and that there was a small crack in the ladder at the brace-mortise, as well as Dr. Muster's that this is the ladder's weakest design point and that an old crack of some unknown length and depth was present there when he received it. 27 There remains the great body of undisputed testimony by Mr. Zetterland, though we unquestioningly accept that of Dr. Muster in the rather minor areas where there is conflict between them. Zetterland ran the only weight-resistance tests that were in evidence, and these indicated that identical prototypes of the ladder in question were designed to bear and did bear loads on the order of ten times that which Mr. Quinn would have it caused his to fail. We have studied Mr. Zetterland's testimony with great care and find it straightforward, consistent, unimpeached and as to the weight-bearing capacity of such ladders as this undisputed. In this respect Dr. Muster's evidence conflicts with it in no degree, since he was able to perform no such tests, having destroyed the ladder so that no tests on it were possible, and candidly admitted that he had no opinion about and no idea of its strength. To be sure, Mr. Zetterland's tests were run on prototypes; but the original could manifestly not be used because of Dr. Muster's destruction of it, and there was no contention that the prototypes were not as identical to it as possible, as Zetterland testified without objection and without dispute. 28 On this evidence, we do not think that reasonable people could find that Mr. Quinn's ladder was defectively Designed. Such a finding is not many orders of magnitude from one that the laws of gravity did not operate on the occasion of Mr. Quinn's fall. Even Dr. Muster did not directly criticize the ladder's design; he merely opined that the point in question was the design's weakest point. Every design must by definition have a weakest point, but that it has one is no evidence at all that the point is Too weak or the design defective. 29 Thus we are left with Mr. Quinn's recollection that he heard a cracking noise, that he fell, and that there he saw a crack hairline to the eye, as his exhibits reveal at the ladder's weakest point.14 Mr. Quinn remembered only this about the accident and, as we have noted, he repeatedly and specifically denied any recollection of details whatever. Even what little he did recall was extremely vague, and that as to the presence or absence of a crack in the wood was conflicting and self-contradictory. His evidence is so general and meager as to suggest in one degree or another a myriad versions of the accident; he cannot prevail unless it reasonably supports the jury finding of failure of the ladder because of an unreasonably dangerous design. Even standing alone, it is a very weak reed to support such a finding. 30 But if it is considered in relation to other evidence which we conclude the jury were not authorized to disregard, it is overwhelmed. The jury could not properly disregard the undisputed evidence of industry and governmental design standards. Nor could they disbelieve the physical evidence before them demonstrating that, by plaintiff's own expert's measurements, the ladder not only complied with these but did so with generous margins of safety. Nor finally, we conclude, could they disregard Mr. Zetterland's evidence of the ladder's weight-bearing capacity. As we have noted, this was the only evidence of that kind before them and was undisputed, undenied and unimpeached. It was readily subject to dispute by tests either of the original, had it not been destroyed in plaintiff's expert's hands, or by tests of other prototypes. In such circumstances, it has been held that such testimony, even by an employee of a party, must be taken as true where it was candid, the witness was not impeached, his credibility was not questioned, and his testimony was not controverted although, if inaccurate, it could readily have been shown to be so. Chesapeake & Ohio Railway Co. v. Martin, 283 U.S. 209, 51 S.Ct. 453, 75 L.Ed. 983 (1931). Our authorities are in accord. Texas Co. v. Hood, 161 F.2d 618 (5th Cir.), Cert. denied, 332 U.S. 829, 68 S.Ct. 206, 92 L.Ed. 403 (1947); Cf. a fortiori, Turner v. Southern Railway Co., 437 F.2d 1352 (5th Cir. 1971) (wife's undisputed testimony as to loss of consortium). 31 It follows that since the evidence on the whole record was such that reasonable people could not have found the ladder defective in design, the trial court should have directed a verdict to this effect. Boeing Co. v. Shipman, 411 F.2d 365 (5th Cir. 1969). On appeal, our standard of review is the same as that court's. Ibid. We should therefore reverse if the point has been preserved for our review. That question is not entirely free from doubt, and to it we now turn. 32 Was Sufficiency of the Evidence Preserved for Review? 33 It is the law in this circuit, as generally elsewhere, that the sufficiency of the evidence supporting a jury verdict is not reviewable on appeal, nor may a motion for judgment n. o. v. be granted, unless a motion for directed verdict was made at the close of all the evidence by the party seeking that review. Speaking of this rule, we have noted: 34 The reasons behind the rule are sound. For example, a litigant may not gamble on a jury's verdict and then later question the sufficiency of the evidence on appeal. . . . Similarly, the litigant who has not moved for a directed verdict in the trial court must have been of the view that the evidence made a case for the jury; he should not be permitted on appeal to impute error to the trial judge for sharing that view. 35 Little v. Bankers Life & Casualty Co., 426 F.2d 509, 511 (5th Cir. 1970), quoted in support of the general rule at C. Wright & A. Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure: Civil § 2536, p. 594. A reason for the rule overlapping those given by us above as examples is to avoid making a trap of the motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict, either at the trial stage or on appeal. When a claimed deficiency in the evidence is called to the attention of the trial judge and of counsel before the jury has commenced deliberations, counsel still may do whatever can be done to mend his case. But if the court and counsel learn of such a claim for the first time after verdict, both are ambushed and nothing can be done except by way of a complete new trial. It is contrary to the spirit of our procedures to permit counsel to be sandbagged by such tactics or the trial court to be so put in error. 36 The rule is a strict one, however, and we and other courts have taken a liberal view of what constitutes a motion for directed verdict for these purposes.15 There is much to be said for the view that whenever a party, at the conclusion of the evidence and before the jury has begun to deliberate, clearly points out a claimed evidentiary deficiency to court and counsel, not by way of conversation or speculation but on the record in an unambiguous formal motion for relief, however denominated, this should suffice. To hold otherwise would be to succumb to a nominalism and a rigid trial scenario as equally at variance as ambush with the spirit of our rules. 37 This case requires us to determine whether formal motions made by each defendant, generally requesting a directed verdict and objecting to the submission of a special interrogatory on very specific grounds of evidentiary insufficiency, should by us be held unavailing to preserve the point.16 If we are so to hold, it can only be because they were made, not immediately after the evidence was closed but after argument and the delivery of the court's charge, at a time when the jury had formally been retired but before it had been permitted to commence its deliberations. This came about because the court, having submitted the case on special interrogatories only, sent the jury out with instructions to await receipt of the form of verdict before beginning to deliberate.17 38 We conclude that the procedure followed here, though somewhat anomalous, sufficed to permit the making of defendants' later motions for judgment non obstante on the same grounds and to preserve for our review the question of sufficiency of the evidence to support the finding of defective design. 39 Logic and the reasons underlying Rule 50(b) support our holding. Neither of these defendants can fairly be said to have gambled on the verdict, only later to question the sufficiency of the evidence on appeal. Their objections to giving the jury the issue of design defect were stated clearly and specifically on the record before its deliberations began, and they are the same ones defendants urged in their prior motions for directed verdict at the close of plaintiff's case and in their motions for judgment n. o. v. below and here. Certainly defendants did not ambush court or opposing counsel. To be sure, their motions and objections were made at a procedurally inconvenient time, after argument and the delivery of the charge. But, though late, the hour was not so late that the evidence could not have been reopened had plaintiff wished to add more and, if necessary, further argument and instructions given. Nor did the court indicate any disposition to declare the motions or objections out of order or to deny them as untimely. Instead, he directed the jury to await their disposition before going to work. Plaintiff's counsel made similar objections to the submission of other issues to the jury, asking that they be withdrawn because insufficiently raised by the evidence; and the court clearly ruled on the merits of all parties' objections on such grounds. It is clear from the record that the court and the parties believed and intended that as a result of these motions and objections the dispositive issue of design defect as well as others might be withdrawn from the jury's consideration and a verdict instructed. Manifestly, the court did not in doing so intend to engage in a mock proceeding empty of content, and we refuse to assume it was such a thing. Let the reader be cautioned, however, that the timing of these procedures was anomalous and inconvenient; and had the court ruled these motions and objections by the parties out of order because untimely, a different question would be presented, one on which we need not and do not pass today. 40 Finally, our holding is not without footholds of support in authority. As we observed at note call 15 above, we have in the past taken a liberal view of what suffices to constitute a motion for directed verdict in such circumstances as these. In Jack Cole Co. v. Hudson, 409 F.2d 188, 191 (5th Cir. 1969), for example, we observed:At the close of plaintiff's evidence, defendants notified the court of their desire to move for a directed verdict, and a formal motion, setting forth the specific ground that there was no evidence that the offending truck was owned by either defendant or that it was being operated on the day of the accident by an employee of either of them, was later presented to the court in chambers and denied. Although at the close of all the evidence defendants did not again make such a motion orally for the record, they did apparently make a request in chambers that the jury be instructed to find for them. This was refused, as was a similar request made in open court after the court's charge to the jury had been given. 41 There can be no doubt that the trial judge was well aware of the reasons for the requested jury instruction, and, under the circumstances, we hold that this constitutes a sufficient predicate for the subsequent motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict. Roberts v. Pierce, 398 F.2d 954, 956 (5th Cir. 1968). 42 (footnote omitted). And later, in denying review in Rawls v. Daughters of Charity, 491 F.2d 141, 147 (5th Cir.), Cert. denied, 419 U.S. 1032, 95 S.Ct. 513, 42 L.Ed.2d 307 (1974), we noted in passing: 43 Possibly, the undisputed evidence may have overwhelmingly supported the unlawfulness and involuntariness of her original confinement so that she might have been entitled to a motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict on these elements. However, the impediment to granting this relief is that the record contains no indication that the plaintiff filed a motion for a directed verdict at the close of the evidence. Moreover, none of the plaintiff's requests for instructions to the jury fairly can be read as amounting to a request for a directed verdict. Therefore, this Court cannot consider plaintiff's contention that the district court erred in refusing to enter a judgment notwithstanding the verdict because a motion for a directed verdict is a prerequisite for relief on a motion for a j. n. o. v. under Fed.R.Civ.P. 50(b). 44 True, these scraps and hints of authority are scarcely crushing, but they point along the way that reason and logic take us in this case, a road that we would take in any event unless foreclosed by prior authority. 45 It follows that we are required, as we have, to review at defendants' behest the sufficiency of the evidence supporting the jury's finding of design defect at the mortise in this ladder's right rear leg. For the reasons given, we find the evidence to be such that, even indulging every legitimate inference in favor of the jury finding of defective design, reasonable people exercising an impartial judgment could not find as they did. We must therefore disregard the verdict, reverse the judgment for Mr. Quinn, and render judgment for the defendants. This disposition renders it unnecessary for us to pass upon the other issues tendered us. 46 REVERSED AND RENDERED. 1 Such meager evidence as there is regarding the ladder's workmanship and materials is to the effect that these were all right. No party argues the contrary; defectiveness of design is the sole theory of liability given the jury by the charge 2 In that case, a Texas diversity one like this, we held: This testimony that the fabric far exceeded the minimum federal requirements is evidence, indeed substantial evidence, that the jacket was not unreasonably dangerous. See Bellotte v. Zayre Corp., 531 F.2d 1100 (1st Cir. 1976) (applying Restatement (Second) of Torts § 402A as adopted by New Hampshire). Nevertheless, we recognize that other courts in addressing this problem have held that compliance with the standard is not conclusive as a measure of defectiveness on unreasonable danger. See Raymond v. Riegel Textile Corporation, 484 F.2d 1025 (1st Cir. 1973); La Gorga v. Kroger Company, 275 F.Supp. 373 (W.D.Pa.1967). If the plaintiff produces substantial expert or lay evidence that a fabric which complied with the federal standard is nevertheless unreasonably dangerous for normal use, the plaintiff is entitled to a jury determination. 566 F.2d at 557-58. 3 Mr. Quinn testified that his brother-in-law had fixed up the ladder and used it after the accident for some undetermined period of time 4 He testified, and his photographs in evidence confirm, that after removal of the splint the ladder stood virtually straight, and the area around the crack "had the appearance of solidity." He was also clear that this weighting procedure was not intended as a test but merely to enlarge the crack so that he could get a better picture 5 He also measured the hole in the leg through which the .16-inch steel rod passed at .25 inch, but since he could not say whether a smaller hole would or would not have made the leg more likely to fail, this is not of much significance. His observations here are well-nigh the only occult part of his testimony: that there is a trade off in strength between the greater stress engendered by using a smaller aperture and the loss of wood occasioned in making a larger one. By this we mean that, with all deference to his learning, we are not much startled to learn that a piece of wood that is cut into is weakest at that point or that a stepladder that collapses in normal use under the weight of an average man and a can of paint has something seriously wrong with it 6 Without objection or dispute, he testified that the accident ladder was of the same design, configuration and material as the prototypes and would therefore have carried substantially "the same load." 7 He also testified that the weakest design point in the rear leg is at the bottom brace, not the top one. Since this conflicts with Dr. Muster's testimony, however, in the present posture of this case we must accept the latter 8 Dr. Muster measured it at 3/16 , and we accept his figure 9 The diameter of this hole is not specified in the codes 10 E. g., U.S.A. Standard Code, § 4.2.4.3, and Table A1 on wood density 11 It is undisputed that the width of the mortise cut in cross-section is 3/4 both in the code and in the accident ladder 12 A calculation somewhat complicated for judges, involving perhaps high-school-level mathematics 13 A far more complex calculation by the defense, employing college-level math at the least, indicates a favorable ratio of code-ladder to accident-ladder of 1:1.6 even on Dr. Muster's figures and one of 1:1.777 on Mr. Zetterland's. Since these calculations are utterly beyond us, we consult our own 14 A point tied rigidly by a steel rod to the ladder's other rear leg, which no one asserts broke or cracked 15 5A Moore's Federal Practice P 50.08, p. 50-88, citing, among others, our decisions in Jack Cole Co. v. Hudson, 409 F.2d 188 (5th Cir. 1969), and Roberts v. Pierce, 398 F.2d 954 (5th Cir. 1968) 16 The interrogatories concerned are, in pertinent part: Interrogatory Number 1: Do you find from a preponderance of the evidence that the ladder in question was in a defective condition at the time it left the care, custody and control of the defendant Southwest Wood Products, Inc. . . . If you have answered interrogatory number one "yes," and only in that event, you will answer interrogatory number two. Interrogatory Number 2: Do you find from a preponderance of the evidence that the defective condition was a producing cause of the accident in question? Defendant's objections to these and motions were, so far as pertinent here: Comes now the defendant Western Auto Supply Company and files this its objections to the court's instructions and form of verdict after the reading of same to the jury and after argument but before the presentation of form of verdict to the jury, and respectfully shows the court as follows: II. The defendant further objects and excepts to the submission of special issue number one because there is no evidence, or there is insufficient evidence, to support the submission of an issue as to whether or not the design in this lawsuit was defective. III. The defendant respectfully submits that the undisputed evidence in this case is the design of this ladder was not defective, considering all of the facts that go into the "design" of the ladder in question. IV. The defendant objects and excepts to the submission of special issue number two for the reasons, with leave of court, first had and obtained to the submission of special issue number one, and further says that there could be no evidence in this case that a design in question could have caused the accident when there is no evidence that the design was defective. Wherefore, premises considered, for the reasons as set forth in the defendant's objections, the defendant respectfully requests the court to again submit the instructions as requested, To declare a verdict for the defendant in this case, or in the alternative to declare a mistrial because of the exclusion of evidence in this lawsuit. Respectfully submitted by the defendant Western Auto and Supply Company. The court: Those objections and requests will be overruled. The defendant Southwest Wood Products, if it may be permitted, joins with the defendant Western Auto in its objections to the court's charge . . . . Secondly, for clarity, with regard to issues one and two, defendant objects that there is no evidence of a defective design upon which the jury could make an affirmative finding to those issues, in that in the most favorable light available to the plaintiff, the evidence of the plaintiff from Dr. Muster at the best is only evidence that the weakest point in the ladder is at the middle rung on the back legs, whether it will hold without failure at that point 150 pounds or 3000 pounds, and the evidence that that is simply the weakest point in the ladder, no matter at what weight it might break, is not evidence of design defect. Therefore, an affirmative finding by the jury to issues one and two would be without supportive evidence, or in the alternative against the great weight and preponderance of the evidence, or based upon insufficient evidence. Therefore, this defendant objects to those two issues on that basis. Thank you, sir. The court: All right. I will overrule those. (emphasis added). 17 The court's instructions to this effect were: Ladies and gentlemen, those of you who will serve, the six of you on the front row, I am going to ask you to retire now. Do not begin your deliberations, however, until the marshal brings you this form of verdict, and that will be your signal to begin. The reason why we do it this way is that the law requires that I give the lawyers for the parties an opportunity to object to what I have said to you and try to get me to take back anything I may have said or say something more to you that they think I ought to say, and you are not to begin your deliberations until the marshal brings you this form of verdict. So you may retire at this time. Advertisement Home Advertisement kaçak iddaa siteleri canlı bahis siteleri canlı bahis oyna bedava bonus veren siteler canlı casino oyna - - medyum medyum | negative |

Glacier National Park Prepares for a Future without Glaciers « Great American Adaptation Road Trip Great American Adaptation Road Trip Uncovering stories of people and places using their wits and resources to adapt to the impacts of climate change Main menu Skip to content Home Photos The Trip About Us Our Work SNRE Connection In the News FAQs Contact Us Search for: Glacier National Park Prepares for a Future without Glaciers 11 September 2013 2 Comments Glacier National Park, MT August 7-8, 2013 Our hike up to Grinnell Glacier in Glacier National Park winds through alpine meadows, along the edge of ice-cut cliffs, up a waterfall staircase, and around a stubborn ram. The views are breathtaking in the most literal sense of that word. The three lakes filling the valley below us are an impossible blue. As the trail cuts back and forth, we catch glimpses of Grinnell’s steel white face. And then finally, we’re there, standing at the edge of a giant ice bath as two young boys skip rocks across the mirroring water. Allie Goldstein and Kirsten Howard atop a rock in front of Grinnell Glacier, which is retreating (melting) quickly. Though beautiful, the hike feels a bit like a hospice visit. Grinnell Glacier has lost 90 percent of its ice in the last century. Of the 150 glaciers that speckled Glacier National Park at its founding in 1910, only 25 remain. The latest predictions indicate that all of the glaciers in Glacier National Park will be gone by 2030. Cause of death: slow retreat due to temperature rise. Grinnell Glacier up close A glacier is defined as a body of snow and ice that moves, and when a glacier dwindles to 25 acres or less in size, it lacks the mass that gives it mobility. It begins to break up into smaller chunks, each year shrinking more in the summer than it grows in the winter. And then, one day—probably in August—it flickers out. So we’re meeting Grinnell Glacier for the first time, but we’re also saying goodbye. The glacial face of climate change These days, more and more visitors to Glacier National Park are coming to pay their respects to the last of the powerful ice bodies that carved this landscape. Lisa McKeon, a physical scientist at the Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center in West Glacier, Montana, has noticed a new attitude among park visitors to “see the glaciers before they’re gone.” The 2030 expiration date for the glaciers—though only one approximation—sticks out in people’s minds as their deadline to experience the Park’s namesakes. Road tripper Kirsten Howard and Lisa McKeon of USGS compare historical photos of glaciers with current ones. The connection between glacial retreat and climate change is pretty straightforward. Since 1900, the mean annual temperature in Glacier National Park has increased by 2.4 degrees Fahrenheit (1.3 degrees Celsius)—1.8 times the global mean increase. Snowmelt is occurring up to a month earlier, and more precipitation is falling as rain rather than snow. Though glaciers have grown and retreated throughout geological history as Ice Ages come and go, the rate of glacial retreat currently occurring is unprecedented and can only be explained by the warming effect of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. Hard to believe these two photographs are of the same place, decades apart For many Park visitors, the retreating glaciers provide physical evidence of a phenomenon—climate change—that is otherwise so global and decadal in scale as to be unobservable. And McKeon is actually one of the main reasons visitors are now able to ‘see’ climate change. Since 1997, she has run the repeat photography project out of USGS’s Global Change Research Center in Glacier. McKeon finds a photograph from the early 1900s, then goes out to the exact spot the image was taken at the same time of year and snaps a new one. Sometimes, the change is so dramatic that it’s hard to believe the two photographs were taken in the same place. The side-by-side comparison photos have been used frequently in the media, in books, and in the ‘Losing A Legacy’ museum exhibit currently displayed in Many Glacier Hotel at the base of the Grinnell Glacier hike. McKeon told us that when she goes to the exhibit to do maintenance or add a new display, she overhears peoples’ reactions. Some people seem saddened; others emboldened. “Get these to Congress!” one visitor remarked. Communicating the crisis A few years ago, Glacier National Park adopted climate change as a key message of its interpretive program, meaning that park employees and volunteers are encouraged to talk with visitors about the ecological impacts of climate change in the Park. A program entitled, “Where Have All the Glaciers Gone?” is given by park interpreter Bob Schuster once a week. Schuster said talks like the one he gives are part of a shift in the Park’s attitude towards climate change communication: “At first, [the Park Service’s] attitude was, ‘people are on vacation, don’t upset them by talking about global warming.’ Now, we have a mandate to talk about it.” Bob Schuster talked to a full house about glacier loss in Glacier National Park During his August 8th program, Schuster’s explanation of glacial retreat was, for the most part, accessible and captivating. He used a bank account metaphor to describe how a combination of less ‘snow deposited’ and more ‘snow withdrawn’ can lead to glacial retreat over time. And he described how he has witnessed the changes himself over the years, stepping dramatically across the hotel hallway to show that, over the years, his tour groups had to walk further and further to get to the Grinnell Glacier ice. Eventually it was too dangerous to trek across the glacier at all. When he got to the tricky part—the why—Schuster acknowledged that climate change is sometimes a controversial topic. But anthropogenic carbon emissions are, unfortunately, the main driver of the glacial retreat currently occurring in the Park. He encouraged the audience to go online to calculate their carbon footprints. “We probably can’t save these glaciers, but there are things we can do,” Schuster said. On the hike up to Grinnell Glacier Some audience members nodded in agreement; one woman jotted a reminder on a notepad. But at least a few people seemed skeptical. One man we spoke with after the talk thought that humans were egotistical for ‘taking credit’ for altering something as fundamental as our atmosphere. And in some ways, that man was expressing what the existential crisis of Glacier National Park is really all about. It’s not about having to rename the landscape the “Park Formerly Known As Glacier,” as Al Gore has quipped. It’s really about looking at the photographs of Glacier’s quickly disappearing ice giants and recognizing their undoing as our own doing—a consequence of our carbon-laden economies. Glacier beyond the glaciers Though glaciers are the charismatic ‘poster child’ of climate change in Glacier National Park (and around the world) and their inevitable loss is heart-wrenching, warming temperatures and changing precipitation patterns will also have severe impacts on the Park ecosystems below the glaciers. Streams may heat up and dry out with less dependable pulses of summer snowmelt, disrupting fish spawning. Forest fires may intensify. As spring appears earlier, seedlings may get a head start on growth, transforming ecologically valuable alpine meadows into new-growth forests. Avalanches may become wetter and slower, acting more like bulldozers than the ‘dry’ avalanches that shape 50 percent of alpine terrain. Avalanches shape 50% of the terrain at Glacier National Park, but the nature of them may be changing As Dan Fagre, a research ecologist at the USGS Global Change program and one of the lead scientists on the ‘gone by 2030’ study, explained it: “We’re ecologists, not glaciologists. We’re using glaciers as bellwethers for what’s going on in the rest of the ecosystem.” Fagre, who once climbed a glacier with Al Gore, realizes the political power and nostalgic pull of glaciers. But the more ecologically important loss happening in the Park is that of snow. Fagre notes that alpine ecosystems sometimes have poor soils that don’t retain water well, so without the snowpack that provides a continuous, slow-releasing source of water and protective cover to vegetation, “you can go from being buried by snow to desiccated in a very short period of time.” The sierras also have a granitic tree line, meaning the mountain vegetation is delineated by soil type, not climate. Because they’re tied to a specific soil type, plant species cannot easily move up the mountain as the climate changes—an ecological adaptation that has been documented in other places. “The terrain is not available for these orderly, progressional migrations,” Fagre said. “If we have changes, they’ll be step functions, not incremental changes.” In other words, ecosystems in Glacier National Park may shift dramatically rather than gradually, and some plant species may not be able to survive in the new conditions. Managing park ecosystems in uncertain times How is the Park Service preparing for the ‘step function’ changes that are coming? Preparation is challenging when, unlike with the glaciers, there is no estimated date when affected species will disappear. Fagre describes a ‘threshold effect’—a kind of ecological tipping point beyond which species will not bounce back. The trick is that no one knows exactly where those thresholds lie. “Where do we need to put money into extreme fire suppression because it may be the last chance to save that ecosystem?” Fagre asked. It is unclear how plant and animal species will respond to dramatic ecological shifts in Glacier. In the face of this uncertainty, the strategy has been something we hear a lot: the Park Service is ‘keeping options open’ as a way of building resilience and maintaining flexibility. When it comes to ecosystem management, this sometimes means intervening in natural processes—and with climate change, the Park Service is intervening perhaps a little more heavy-handedly than they have in the past. One example of human intervention to protect important ecological features is the Park Service’s decision-making during the 2003 Robert Fire that burned 13 percent of Glacier National Park. In addition to protecting critical infrastructure, managers chose to guide the fire away from huckleberries that bears snack on. Another example is the decision to construct a barrier in Quartz Creek to prevent nonnative fish from reaching Quartz Lake, home to some of the strongest remaining migratory bull trout populations in Glacier. (Of the 17 lakes on the west side of the Park, 10 have been compromised by invasives.) Glacier National Park is named not for the glaciers themselves, but for how glaciers shaped the landscape. These two actions have one key thing in common: they provide ecological insurance in the face of uncertainty. When the thresholds for species and ecosystem collapse—the ‘points of no return’—aren’t clear, Park managers are erring on the side of intervention rather than letting nature take its course. “Climate change is always one of many stressors, but it has cast all of those other stressors in a different light,” Fagre said. “It’s the one thing that’s always changing the game, and making the other things you’re doing moving targets.” The main obstacle to preparing for climate impacts, Fagre said, is funding: “The limitation is funding more than anything—the know-how and recognition is there.” The authors on their quest More photos here Share this: Twitter LinkedIn Facebook Email Like this: Like Loading...

This week the first trailer for The Wolverine will finally hit the web and theaters, but in the meantime we’ve got a new teaser for the film showing the first footage of Hugh Jackman in his next appearance as the titular character.
The first thing about the teaser that catches me off guard is the odd vertical aspect ratio that it’s delivered in. That aside, there really isn’t anything too revealing in this footage. All we get is a whole lot of steel on adamantium, sounding more like something out of The Three Musketeers than a superhero flick, and Jackman giving his trademark Wolverine yell. Still, even with the lack of revealing material, it’s great to finally see footage from this film.
Of course, this is merely a snippet of the footage that we’ll get to see this week. As director James Mangold Tweeted, this 6 second “Tweazer” is a preview to the 20 second tease of the teaser, and then we can see the “full teaser” on Wednesday.
In case you aren’t quite ready for footage from the film, there’s also two new posters for the film and an assortment of new images too, courtesy of EW. Unfortunately, both the posters are a little cheesy when compared with the rest of the promotion for the film, which is very disappointing. The minimalist poster released last year is one of the most beautiful pieces of film art we’ve seen in a long time, but these posters look more like something advertising a crummy arcade than something worthy of Wolverine.
The images are much better than the posters, but still not horribly revealing. We get some good looks at both Viper (Svetlana Khodchenkova) and Yukio (Rila Fukushima), which is new, but other than that, nothing groundbreaking regarding Wolverine himself.
Check out the teaser for The Wolverine below, then have a look at the posters and the stills. After that, let us know what you think in the comments section. | positive |
The Fernand Petiot Story
It was back in the 1920s when Fernand Petiot, an American bartender at Harry's New York Bar in Paris, mixed up equal parts of tomato juice and vodka. He had no idea that his concoction would become world famous when he agreed with the guy in the bar who suggested he call the drink "Bloody Mary." The patron said it reminded him of the Bucket of Blood Club in Chicago, and a girl he knew there named Mary.
In 1934, Petiot moved to the King Cole Bar at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City, and brought the recipe with him. The hotel managers tried to change the name to Red Snapper, but it didn't stick.
Sophisticated New Yorkers weren't too impressed at first. They said the drink tasted a bit bland, and they asked Petiot to spice it up. He added black pepper, cayenne pepper, Worcestershire sauce, lemon and--for those who wanted more spirit--a generous splash of TABASCO pepper sauce. And that's how an American classic was born.
In 1976, McIlhenny Company introduced TABASCO Bloody Mary Mix. It wasn't the first mix on grocery store shelves, but it was one true to Petiot's original. A spicier version was added a few years later. | positive |

The Conservancy will also be monitoring all traffic and will be enforcing the Conservancy Rules of the road …PLEASE SLOW DOWN, and please don’t pass ….. Thanks for helping us keep everyone at Promontory SAFE! DWELLING LIVE DRIVE SLOW. PROTECT OUR WILDLIFE. One of the best things about living in Promontory is sharing our space with incredible wildlife – rabbits, porcupines, squirrels, and especially this time of year, deer and elk. While we love seeing them in our yards and open space, seeing them on our roads is a different story. Each animal reacts differently to approaching cars and it’s best to let the animal clear the road first before passing. PLEASE, for your safety and the preservation of our animals, use caution and SLOW DOWN. KEEP PROMONTORY SAFE & FAMILY-FRIENDLY Reminder that, pursuant to the CCR’s and the Conservancy’s Policy Regarding Pets, owner’s pets are not permitted to roam free on Promontory grounds at any time. Accordingly, please keep all animals on leashes when exploring trails and properly contained when at home. For those that neglect to do so, the Conservancy Board will be forced to take enforcement action pursuant to its policies, as the safety of all Promontory residents is always our top priority. Any interaction between the native wildlife (elk and the like) and pets who are running unattended could be very dangerous. DRIVING THE STREETS OF PROMONTORY All vehicles driven on Promontory Roadways must be driven by a licensed driver. Although they are gated, Promontory’s streets are made subject to the traffic laws of the State of Utah by these rules. Traffic laws may be enforced by the Summit County Sheriff’s Department and violations are also subject to penalties imposed by the Conservancy. ATVs, snow mobiles, and the like shall never be driven on Promontory’s open space, trails, and/or golf courses. DRIVEWAY PARKING Please reserve the driveway space at your home for parking conventional automobiles only. Non-conventional vehicles and recreational toys, such as motor homes, campers, boats, trailers, motorcycles, must be parked in your garage so as to be completely hidden from view or at an off-site storage facility. Recognizing the need for some flexibility, the Conservancy will allow a one-hour window wherein these items may be parked in the driveway for loading, unloading, and cleaning. DRONES, DUMPSTERS & FIREARMS Promontory Drone Policy – Please be advised Of the drone policy Community Dumpsters are available to all members and owners at the Equestrian Center. PLEASE REMEMBER: “Firearms and all other weapons of any kind are not permitted on Club Property at any time except when carried by security or law enforcement personnel on active duty.” DRONE POLICY TIPS FOR WALKING THE TRAILS Bring water, wear the right shoes, sunscreen, & a hat Always hike with another person.When you are out on the trails you may see wildlife. Blue birds, birds of prey, deer and elk as well. We have a habitat that sustains a wide variety of wildlife. With this in mind, it is also important that you keep your dog on a leash at all times, not only for your pet’s protection but, also for the safety and well-being of the wildlife around us. At no time (unless you are at Promontory’s dog park) is your pet to be unleashed. Coyotes are not uncommon and from time to time we can also have cougars. It is important that we all take the time to educate ourselves about living with wildlife. The State of Utah DNR has a great website that does just that. Should you ever see coyotes, badgers, or cougars here at Promontory, please call or email Joe Ellis and let him know the location so that we may report such sightings to the DNR immediately for advice and help.

Hospital costs for uninsured Americans are ruinous, like nowhere else in the world. The Wall Street Journal recently pointed to a major reason: Hospitals gain a "charity" tax deduction for the difference between what they collect and their "list" prices. If they can actually collect the money, which they often do by threatening collection lawsuits, they make a tremendous profit. If not, then they deduct from taxable income their phantom "losses" from patients who don't pay.
So, for example, an ambulance ride with a "list cost" of $1000 could bring in $1000 from a patient who pays or a tax deduction of $1,000 from the patient who doesn't, which then can be deducted against other income. Furthermore, the "list" prices inflate other medical costs. The uninsured today are a major source of hospital profits, as detailed in J. Patrick Rooney and Dan Perrin's America's Health Care Crisis Solved. The book describes how a Denver hospital patient tracked down the charges for his treatment paid by medicare and health insurance companies, which totaled $6,000, compared to the $67,000 the hospital demanded.
How did this happen? The system evolved over recent years as collection methods improved and credit ratings became important for most Americans. The well-meaning tax deduction was legislated when hospitals could not collect from many uninsured patients. Now, however, aggressive pursuit and greater difficulty in declaring personal bankruptcy under new bankruptcy reform laws have made it far easier for hospitals to enforce collections. Now imagine the plight of uninsured poor and middle class Americans with an injured child. They face the choice between no medical care or possibly losing their savings, home, and credit rating. Medical costs are the reason for about half of personal bankruptcy filings. Equally, heirs suffer as the estates of their aged relatives—who sometimes die without sufficient insurance—and are also subject to the ravenous hospital charges that can deplete expected inheritances.
Health insurance costs are now so awesome that they are even wrecking large businesses—American auto manufacturers, for example. Health insurance costs also drive businesses overseas, they absorb much of the surplus from rising wages, and have increasingly made many Americans eager for a socialized system such as that offered in Europe and Canada.
Almost no other business in America has such abusive pricing power, including the power to keep charges secret from customers until they get their bills. The Wall Street Journal described how "non-profit" hospitals have accumulated billions of dollars of untaxed profits on the theory that they are providing a public service. The Journal pointed out that many of them provide very little actual care to the uninsured, while many of their CEO's earn salaries in the millions. Equally, they have little incentive or competitive pressure to be competent or cost effective.
The "solution" is either socialized medicine (with government control over costs and availability) or competition and transparency. The latter should be the American solution. However, federal and state governments often make competition very difficult. Still, it is slowly appearing. New services advertise basic heart and blood tests for about $200, as compared to more than $2,000 in most hospitals. A new system of "Minute Clinics" are appearing in some CVS drug stores for $59 per visit, and Wal-Mart is starting up similar clinics with $4 generic medicines. These clinics are staffed by nurses and backed up by doctors and databases. They can handle some 80% of common ailments. However, many states restrict them and the American Medical Association is now attacking them. Such systems could provide major savings for many children's sicknesses and save parents immense amounts of time spent waiting for doctor's appointments.
Individual health savings accounts offer an alternative for some, but groups are not large enough to really challenge hospital costs, especially for emergencies. Generic medicines are being used more often. But doctors often benefit from prescribing costly medicines. Databases now make it possible for pharmaceutical companies to track how often local doctors prescribe their most costly medicines. Then the companies often award them vacations, lecture fees, research grants, and consulting contracts. A major reform would allow health insurance companies to operate nationally across state lines and offer selective coverage, for example excluding certain very costly and unlikely diseases. In fact, Florida just passed a new law allowing health insurance choice. A surplus government insurance for rare illnesses would reduce insurance costs enormously and cost far less than our current system.
The costs described above are for private care. Medicare fraud is another immense waste. The Washington Post recently detailed a report where just one thief with a laptop computer succeeded in stealing $105 million. The Post report showed that fraud costs taxpayers some $60 billion yearly as medicare pays most doctor bills without review. The New York Times recently reported how doctors have incentives to buy expensive equipment and then charge Medicare even more for often-unnecessary tests or procedures. Even without fraud, the system encourages older patients to seek out specialists for every ache and prompts doctors to order masses of costly tests to shield themselves from lawyers. Many operations are also considered unnecessary, with numbers varying tremendously all over the country for the same ailments. Medicaid is another multi-billion dollar scandal of waste and fraud.
So why isn't all this being debated in the presidential campaign? For one, some of the richest and most powerful lobbies in Washington are run by the medical and pharmaceutical establishments. They don't want a competitive system. Democrats do propose forcing everyone to "buy" high-cost insurance, while continuing with the current system, and then have taxpayers subsidize premiums for the poor. But they also oppose tort reform which would hurt their trial lawyer political allies. Many Republican congressmen, meanwhile, also benefit from the lobbies and don't want to rock the boat. After eight years in power, they don't want to take criticism for having made little reform.
Medical cost reform is just one of many areas where Washington is corrupt and paralyzed, in particular because of the gerrymandered power structure, whereby sitting congressmen are almost invulnerable to defeat. They then legally collect millions in "campaign contributions" from the lobbies. Reform will only come about if Americans become better informed, yet most of the media is ignorant about health costs. Reform depends also upon major corporations attacking the current system, such as Wal-Mart has started to do with its in-store clinics. But most companies are silent and afraid to tackle the medical power structure. The Chamber of Commerce and National Federation of Independent Businesses seem reluctant to challenge both the monopolies and the current system. Lessons from the experiences of other nations are certainly available, but most Americans are ignorant of them and still believe claims that "our system is the best." It may be "best" for Medicare, some Medicaid recipients, congressmen, state and federal government employees, and the military, but then they already have "socialized" medicine; they just don't pay most of the costs.
This could be a big election issue for libertarians. Polling indicates that health costs are often the third most important issue expressed by voters. Neither major party wants major change in the current system, but the topic could get TV time for Bob Barr and other libertarians. Promoting competition and explaining to Americans how choice and disclosure will lower costs and provide greater accessibility, especially for the uninsured, is a vote-getting issue. Current medical costs already absorb twice the percentage of gross domestic product as in Europe. They are helping to bankrupt America.

Valuing your Product 7.1 You warrant that you will accurately describe the condition of your Devices so that we are able to provide an initial quotation before we are in receipt of, and able to, inspect the Device (the “Original Quotation”). The Original Quotation will be valid for a period of 14 days from the date it is issued to you (“Initial Period”). You may extend the validity of the Original Quotation within the Initial Period by a further period of 7 days from the end of the Initial Period (“Quote Validity Period”). 7.2 We accept accessories such as chargers and headsets but these do not increase the value of your Device. 7.3 Upon receipt of your Device, we will carry out an Inspection (as defined in clause 9.1). Any incorrect or inaccurate Device descriptions may result in us re-evaluating our Original Quotation to produce a Revised Quotation (as defined in clause 9.4). 7.4 Subject to clause 7.3, you must ensure that we are in receipt of the Devices within the Initial Period or Quote Validity Period as appropriate. If we are not in receipt of a Device with the Initial Period or Quote Validity Period as appropriate, we reserve the right to provide you with a Revised Quotation (as defined in clause 9.4), subject to the clauses 8 and 9 below. 8. Lost, Blocked, Stolen and Fake Devices and Pre-Pay Box Breaking 8.1 For the purposes of these Terms “Fake” Devices are counterfeit Devices which are manufactured to resemble Devices made by another company in breach of the intellectual property rights of the genuine manufacturer. 8.2 In the case we are notified or suspect that the Device is either lost or stolen, we may request further proof of ownership of the Device. Additional proof of ownership may include, but is not limited to, receipts, tax invoices or carrier receipts. In the event that there is insufficient proof of ownership, the Device may be returned to you, or to the relevant authorities. 8.3 We may work with a number of agencies and service providers to enable us to check the IMEI of all Devices that are sent to us to confirm that they are not stolen. We may do this prior to confirming purchase. However, in the event that we become aware of any issues at any time, we reserve the right to withhold/cancel payment and you agree to co-operate with us and any authorities should we make such a request. 8.4 We will make no payments to customers for Devices received which are either lost, stolen or Fake. 8.5 We reserve the right to inform the relevant authorities if there is any suspicion that there is a deliberate attempt to perpetrate a fraud. We reserve the right to reclaim any money paid to you if it is discovered within three months of the return of that Device that the Device has either been reported as a lost, stolen or the Device is discovered to be a Fake. 9. Inspection and Revised Quotation 9.1 Once your Devices have been received by us, we will inspect the Device to check to see if it complies with the description that you provided to us originally (the “Inspection”). 9.2 The Inspection will focus on, amongst other things, the model and condition of the Device, the country of origin of the Device as well as the total number of Devices received by us. If the model, condition and/or origin are different to your original description, the Original Quotation will be adjusted in accordance with clause 9.4 below. Should our Inspection reveal that you have sent us a different model than the one that we provided an Original Quotation for, we will offer an amount for the different model based on the price displayed on the Site on the day that we are in receipt of the different model (subject to the condition of the Device). We may also adjust the Original Quotation if we decide to offer an amount for one or more but not all of the Devices received by us. 9.3 We will have sole discretion in determining the appropriate condition, the model, the country of origin and price of the Device. 9.4 We will contact you via email or text to confirm the amount we will offer for such Device as adjusted, if necessary, by these Terms (the “Revised Quotation”). You will have 14 days from the date that we have sent the email or text in which to accept the Revised Quotation provided that we cannot be held responsible for the non-delivery of emails because of spam email or junk filters. If you: (a) choose to decline the Revised Quotation within the 14 day period which has been provided because the condition of the Device is different to your original description, you may ask us to return the Device to you at no additional cost to you; (b) choose to decline the Revised Quotation within the 14 day period which has been provided because the country of origin of the Device is different to your original description or for any other reason, you may ask us to return the Device to you at your cost. We will provide the applicable cost to you upon request and which must be paid before we return the Device to you; or (c) do not reply within 14 days of us sending the email or text, we will pay you the Revised Quotation. Please allow for up to 10 working days to receive your returned Device. If for any reason we cannot send you back your original Device then we will be obliged to make payment for the Original Quotation (except to the extend such failure to send back the original Device to you has resulted from any act or omission of you). 9.5 Under no circumstances can Devices be returned by us to you after the expiry of the 14 day period detailed in clause 9.4. 9.6 Additional accessories that have been sent in with your Device which have not been requested by us cannot be returned to you. 10. How the Contract is formed between you and us 10.1 Nothing on this Site constitutes an offer by us to sell or purchase any goods or services. 10.2 Sending Devices to us shall constitute an offer by you to sell such Devices to us in return for the Original Quotation (“Your Offer”). However, please note that this does not mean that Your Offer has been accepted. Therefore we may, in our sole discretion, refuse to accept Your Offer for any reason. Our acceptance of your Offer will take place as described in clause 10.3. We may also, in our sole discretion, cancel any trade-in order you place on the Site in which case the Devices relating to the order will not be collected by us. 10.3 No Contract will be formed until either: (a) we accept Your Offer, by paying to you a sum equal to the Original Quotation; or (b) you have accepted our Revised Quotation and we make a payment to you of a sum equal to the Revised Quotation, within the time frame set out in and in accordance with this Contract. 11. Pricing and Payments 11.1 We initiate payments to you through Apple Gift Card within 3 working days after receipt and subject to Inspection of your Device. 11.2 Prices offered on our Site are subject to change at any time without notice. 12. Title and Risk in Devices 12.1 Title in the Device(s) shall pass to us on completion of the payment to you for such Device(s) at which point you disclaim any further right, title or interest in and to the Device or any items contained therein. 12.2 You must own all rights in any Device(s) that you send to us.

The Purposes For Which We Collect, Use And Disclose Your Personal Data 1.1 Brightstar will only collect personal data (see glossary for the full definition) where the information is necessary for Brightstar to perform one or more of the functions, Purposes or activities set out in this Privacy Policy or in the particular consent we may ask you to give when your personal data is collected. In this context, "collect" and "collected" means gather, acquire or obtain personal data. In some instances, we may collect or be provided with, your personal data from or through a third party. This Privacy Policy will still apply to your personal data as a minimum but in some instances, your personal data will be governed by the consent you gave to that third party and the third party's privacy policy depending on whether or not we are obligated to treat your personal data in accordance with the third party's privacy policy or not (see below). In any case, our collection, use or disclosure of your personal data by us will be in compliance with the PDPA. 1.2 Brightstar will/may collect, use, disclose and/or process your personal data for one or more of the following purposes : a. administering, processing and/or dealing with any Transactions between you and Brightstar and/or any of its related corporations.

For the avoidance of doubt, this means that we may/will disclose your personal data to the aforementioned parties upon their request or direction; k. conducting research, analysis and development activities (including but not limited to data analytics, surveys and/or profiling) to improve our products or services, and/or to enhance any continued interaction between yourself and us connected to or in relation to the Site; l. storing, hosting, backing up (whether for disaster recovery or otherwise) of your personal data, whether within or outside Singapore; m. facilitating, dealing with and/or administering external audit(s) or internal audit(s) of the business of Brightstar and/or its related corporations; n. for marketing, if you have separately indicated that you consent to such purpose.

In the case of the sending of marketing and promotional information and materials to you by voice call, SMS/MMS or fax to your Singapore telephone number, we will not do so unless we have complied with the requirements of Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act in relation to use of the latter modes of communication to send you such marketing information or materials or where you have expressly consented to such mode of communication, (the purposes set out above shall be collectively referred to as the “Purposes”). 1.3 Brightstar may/will need to disclose your personal data to third parties, whether located within or outside Singapore, for one or more of the above Purposes, as such third parties, would be processing your personal data for one or more of the above Purposes.

A “cookie” assigns you a unique identifier so that we can recognise you each time you re-enter the website, so we can recall where you’ve previously been on our site, and which keeps track of the pages you view on the website. Cookies help us deliver a better website experience to our users. 1.7 As mentioned above, we also use service providers to help us maximise the quality and efficiency of our services and our business operations.

We ensure that our contracts with our service providers require them to adhere to strict privacy guidelines and to only process your personal data for one or more of the Purposes we have authorised. 2.

Have you ever noticed these fancy adverts at the end of some newspapers? Yes, they are pointing to the oldest profession in the world. Prostitution was here, is here and will be here for years and decades to come as long as men have penises and girls have vaginas. We all know how they use this to their advantage. However, there are ways to avoid their deception. Don’t try to believe girls convincing you that ‘call-girls are dirty’ (and you should stick to them instead, because otherwise your dick will fall off) they are not. That’s why they are so afraid of you using them. There are no “good-quality normal girls”. That’s the point. They are all crazy and female nature remains the same across all professions.
It changes the dynamics. By the way, Internet made the whole process of looking for a prostitute much easier and fun. Forget dating-sites like OK Cupid or Tinder. They are almost always worthless. Go directly to the place you’re looking for- her ass.
Today I would not be speaking about advantages of not dating anyone / sleeping with women in general, but something opposite- as some of us still need sex to remain healthy. Just as you need the right balance between your sugar and salt intake.
Besides, they really like to get paid for this. Don’t forget the famous saying- “every woman is a whore, it’s just about finding the right price”.
Advantages of Escorts:
You save cash. Details: You need to pay for sex this way or another. Whether it’s 200 EUR between 3 weeks of dating a girl, or 200 EUR spent on a call girl- it’s up to you. This is really a freedom of choice for men.
Details: You need to pay for sex this way or another. Whether it’s 200 EUR between 3 weeks of dating a girl, or 200 EUR spent on a call girl- it’s up to you. This is really a freedom of choice for men. You don’t risk anything. Details: If you stick with good quality girls (not dirty whores who sell themselves for 50 EUR) you don’t risk anything. They are normal people just like you. They don’t want to get infected by any kind of STDs and are usually meeting with good quality clients too. For a girl to have bad reputation in this business it’s like game over. Oh, and did I mentioned that you don’t need to deal with any kind of relationship bullshit like arguments, cold-days, period craziness, stupid friends, shit-tests and other nonsense? Also, remember that call-girls aren’t whores standing on the streets. So don’t be afraid to save some normal cash. If you want to spend less, you will get less (quality service). As in life, normal business rules apply here too.

As in life, normal business rules apply here too. You can have almost anything you want. Details: Think about that dream about having a threesome with a Japanese and black French girl at the same time, mixed with anal, BDSM elements and ended with facials and creampies ( hehe ). What are odds of this thing becoming true through “normal” dating process? Let’s be realistic- almost none. Unless you are Silvio Berlusconi. You can pay for such thing through escort networks. Your imagination is the limit here, however I’d advice being on the scene for some time as you will need to gain enough experience to feel confident. Freedom of choice is a huge advantage. You can pick any age, nationality or body shape you want. Life is short. Help yourself to create those memories for the old age. If you’re the kind of guy who gets more excited telling others that his boy just used loo for the first time instead of diapers, rather than how you shagged juicy Spanish 23yo- please stop reading. This is not for you.

This is not for you. It can help you remain on your path. Details: Sometimes we all need a bit of relief. For some of us it means to get some pussy. It is nothing wrong by going with our biological needs. After all, women do this all the time. It is not a shame and if you remain self-conscious, it would not undermine yourself being an MGTOW. Of course, you can use masturbation, pornography or even get a fuck-buddy. But I’d prefer to experience more than just my right hand and some moving pixels on the screen during my life. Fuck-buddies are okay, however it always cost you time and effort. And what if it turns out that after dating a girl for several weeks she tells you that she don’t swallow? Or don’t like it rough? Well tell me, who got time for this?
Disadvantages of Escorts:
You can catch STD. Details: This is a risk, yes. Yet, you need to remember that it isn’t significantly higher than getting a disease from your beloved LTR girlfriend. Actually, I’ve never had any problems with call girls. Only with my LTR girls. Ironic, huh? Why this is true? I’d say that call girls are very picky and aware of any clients that might cause problems. They would not go through their work-week by having untreated STD either. Most of them can be spotted too. Think about that. It’s like having a flu with persistent cough. You don’t go to work like that- you treat it. Scare of STD was created mostly by wives frightened that their husbands can go get some pussy outside of their sacred BS marriage. And btw, you can catch STD by using dirty corporate toilet, too. Besides, you are lying to yourself if you think that your girl slept with the amount of guys she tells you she did.

Besides, you are lying to yourself if you think that your girl slept with the amount of guys she tells you she did. You lack emotional content. Details: That is true. If you stick to visiting one girl at a time, emotional content will be almost every time closer to none. It’s a business, not a date. Albeit, you can request for “GFE” which means “girl-friend experience”. This usually includes more hugging, talking, kissing and sometimes unprotected oral. Most escorts are very good at it. Guess what, females are masters of deception. Maybe you already noticed that. 😉 Whether she is a call-girl or your LTR-girl it doesn’t matter.

Details: Wait a second, is that really a disadvantage? Love does not exist. Get over it, pal.
Details: Wait a second, is that really a disadvantage? Love does not exist. Get over it, pal. Escorts are victims of human-trafficking. Details: I agree, there are some cases of this.

Details: I agree, there are some cases of this. That is why you need to spend some time discovering your local call-girl scene. Do you want me to provide statistics of home abuse by “innocent” wives or crazy husbands? Shit happens everywhere. It’s up to you to filter it out. You don’t get to sleep with the girl and hug her for the rest of the night. Details: Sure, but you can pay for this if you really REALLY really want it, you big boy.
Details: Sure, but you can pay for this if you really REALLY really want it, you big boy. You must use condoms. Details: Bear in mind that after visiting same escort several times, she might agree for oral without condom, and so on. Some of them got that on their favorites lists too. The key to this is to get to know the girl and vice versa. She has to see that you’re not just some casual fucker but a client that has good reputation. As in life, use your instinct and intuition. It goes both ways. And well I’d rather use a condom than experience “pregnancy-trap” every time girl is on pills. Other solution is to get a vasectomy.

Details: Going to visit a call-girl, finding her place, looking through the available offers, paying up-front, visiting places that you don’t know anything about and so on. You need a pair of balls to do this, of course. And remember that it’s almost always sub-legal or illegal in any given country. It’s the same specific feeling as when you are going to meet with the dealer to get some substances. Brain rush. Adrenaline. Excitement. This can scare off some people- Blue Pillers need not apply. Ok, there are some places where this kind of service is legal. Like the famous Red Light District in the very center of Amsterdam. So you can go there, just make sure that your wife will get a good excuse.
Have fun and remember to stay MGTOW!

The Pride parade in Podgorica passed off peacefully. Photo: BIRN
Gay activists took to the streets of Montenegro’s capital Podgorica on Saturday to demand that rights for sexual minorities, such as anti-discrimination regulations – and others rights still not enshrined in law – be implemented by the Montenegrin authorities.
LGBT groups called for a same-sex marriage law, the eradication of homophobia and transphobia, and the creation of conditions required to develop the LGBTIQ community in Montenegro.
The NGO organizing the parade, Queer Montenegro, hoped that by the end of next year, Montenegro would adopt a law on same-sex marriages.

NGO activists have already prepared a draft law for registered partnerships and submitted it to the Ministry for Human and Minority Rights for consideration.
The march, this year named “Family Values”, also urged families to support their gay relatives.
“With this Pride, we seek support from those that we care about most, from fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, relatives. Support is lacking when they find out you’re gay,” the head of the organising committee, Daniel Kalezic, said.
Human Rights Minister, Mehmet Zenka, also attended the march and said support was needed, but mostly from families.
“Society in Montenegro has developed and now people are more aware. We have a good strategic framework and policies in this area,” Zenka said.

The Montenegrin capital Podgorica was under tight security on Saturday ahead of the parade, the fourth since the event was marred by violence in 2013.
Hundreds of riot police officers were deployed to the city centre in the downtown area of Podgorica, where streets were closed to traffic since the early morning, but no incidents were reported.
During the first Pride march in Podgorica, in October 2013, more than 500 protesters, mostly football hooligans, hurled rocks and bottles at the several dozen marchers.
Twenty police were injured in the affray, one of them seriously. Among the 60 people detained, a third were under 18.
Homosexuality remains a sensitive issue in the socially conservative country, as it does elsewhere in the Balkan region.
Some surveys suggested that 71 per cent of citizens in Montenegro consider homosexuality an illness, and every second citizen believes that homosexuality is a danger to society and that the state should work to suppress it. | positive |

The Democratic National Committee is “worthless” and its former chairwoman, Florida Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, was not up to the task of leading the organization, outgoing Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid said in a candid interview on Wednesday.
“I believe one of the failures of Democratic Party has been the Democratic National Committee, the DNC, has been worthless,” Reid said during a live call-in interview with Las Vegas radio station KNPR.
“They do nothing to help state parties. That should be the main goal they have. I developed everything in Nevada on my own. Their help was relatively meaningless.”
Reid, who is known for speaking his mind as well as for lying about his political enemies, also weighed in on what the next DNC chair will need to do in order to succeed. (RELATED: Harry Reid Says He Did What Was Necessary By Lying About Mitt Romney’s Taxes)
“I would hope that they would choose a chair of the Democratic Party who is a full-time person. Not someone like we had with that congresswoman from Florida, who was a full-time congresswoman and a part-time chair of the DNC,” said Reid, who noticeably declined to refer to Wasserman Schultz by name.
Wasserman Schultz proved to be a controversial and largely unsuccessful DNC chair. She served in that role from May 2011 through this July when she resigned in disgrace after leaked emails showed that she and others at the DNC were critical of Hillary Clinton’s Democratic primary opponent, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders.
Democrats have seen their legislative power erode since Wasserman Schultz took over as DNC chair. Democrats lost five House seats and seven Senate seats from the 2010 elections through 2014, the last national election which Wasserman Schultz oversaw as party chair. Democrats also suffered net losses in governorships and seats on state legislatures across the U.S. during that time span.
Reid, the quintessential Beltway politician, has also been blamed for his party’s stagnation. When he leaves office next month he will be replaced as Senate Minority Leader by New York Sen. Chuck Schumer.
Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison and Labor Secretary Tom Perez are the top two contenders for the DNC spot. Ellison has said he will resign from Congress if he is chosen to lead the DNC. Democratic consultant Donna Brazile is currently serving as interim chair of the party.

During a recent business trip, he brought up the subject of terrorism. He stated that the biggest terrorist threat in the U.S. comes from right-wing extremists, not the Jihadis. He then doubled down: white right-wingers have committed more acts of terrorism than radical Islamists. We were two days into a business trip and his diatribes were already wearing thin. This one caught my attention.
I’ve known Richard since 1981, as a mentor, competitor, and colleague, and I consider him a friend. I only recently though found out how liberal he actually is, but I do not hold that against him.
I learned his source was a Huffington Post article: “Most Of America’s Terrorists Are White, And Not Muslim” by Sarah Ruiz-Grossman
The article was based on a study: “Home Is Where the Hate Is” by David Neiwert, published by “the Investigative Fund” organization.
Therein lies the problem. Richard, as well as too many other people, have a tendency to take what they read at face value.
Mr. Neiwart’s piece is full of numbers and statistics to back his claims. However, I am reminded a quote by Aaron Levenstein: “Statistics are like bikinis. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.”
From January 2008 to the end of 2016, we identified 63 cases of Islamist domestic terrorism… The vast majority of these (76 percent) were foiled plots,
During the same period, we found that right-wing extremists were behind nearly twice as many incidents: 115. Just over a third of these incidents (35 percent) were foiled plots.
The claim is also made that “Right-wing extremist terrorism was more often deadly.”
It is not surprising that they ignore the over 3000 deaths (counting first responders) which resulted from 9/11.
Simply put, the claim is made that not only are right-wing extremists committing such acts with a higher degree of frequency, they are also better at it.
A closer look is certainly warranted, but before analyzing domestic terrorism, the term needs to be defined. Niewart’s article uses the following:
“What distinguishes an act of terrorism from a violent crime… is the ideological component of "the perpetrator's motivation, his ideology and what he wanted the outcome to be. There needs to be a desire to instill fear among the general public, change government policy, or draw attention to a political or social cause."
In the case of this study the fair definition above is not applied equally, which is standard fare for the political left.
Three examples of questionable inclusions from the report:
Richard Popolawski -- A known white supremacist, he opened fire on Pittsburgh police officers responding to a domestic dispute, killing three and leaving two injured.
Wade Lay and son Christopher Lay -- In 2004 they killed a guard during an armed robbery. Wade Lay testified that the money was meant to buy weapons and according to the district attorney there was a 'self-proclaimed’ mission to revenge Waco.
Joseph Stack -- In 2010, Stack committed suicide by crashing a small aircraft into an IRS building killing one additional person. Stack left an anti-government, anti-tax manifesto behind. The FBI stated that it was investigating the incident "as a criminal matter of an assault on a federal officer" and it was not considered terrorism.
No one is defending the actions of these men, but does a domestic dispute or armed robbery qualify as terrorism, as defined above?
Regarding Mr. Stack, his gripe was with the IRS. His actions may or may not, meet the criteria for domestic terrorism, but does he qualify as being ‘right wing’? No proof on that was given. It’s telling that one of the figures that Stack quoted in his manifesto was that notorious right-wing rabble-rouser Karl Marx.
It appears the methodology used was too quick to label crimes as ‘terrorist’ acts, especially if they could be linked to the “right wing,” even if only tenuously.
Let’s assume their numbers are accurate. The data shows that the non-Muslim population commits twice as many terrorist attacks as the Muslim population. Yet Muslims comprise less than 2% of the total U.S. population. They are attempting to make the case that non-Muslim Americans are a greater threat to the country than the Muslim population. Yet are the authors really so naïve that they can’t tell they have proven the opposite? The relative risk from Muslims in America is 24 times as high as from everyone else combined.
Let’s look at it another way, as the point warrants emphasis:
White Americans comprise 72.5 % of the U.S. population. Muslim Americans comprise less than 2% of the total.
Again if we use their numbers, combined with the sourced demographics for 2008, we have the following:
For every two million white people, over a ten-year period there will be 1.3 acts or failed plots of a terrorist event.
For every one million adult Muslims, over the same time period, there will be 54 such events or failed plots.
Even adjusting the figures for white people to take out children, the resultant figure will not approach that given for the adult Muslims.
We can know with certainty that a very small percentage of any population will be afflicted with mental illness. Naturally, whites being the largest percentage of the population, will have a correspondingly high number of such people.
Muslims, on the other hand, are a very small component of the population, yet they account for a very large percentage of terrorism domestically.
Knowing that the propensity for terrorism is inordinately slanted to a narrow range of the population, logic dictates a focus in both law enforcement efforts, as well as immigration restrictions would be appropriate.
This is unacceptable to much of our nation. Today proposed restrictions are being fought; at the ballot box, through the courts and through domestic terrorism, (including use of chemicals in launched projectiles) by Antifa and other well-organized riot-promoting terror groups.
If we are going to eradicate the primary source of terrorism, the impetus will need to come from within the Muslim communities. It is they that must stand up to declare terrorism is at odds with their faith. It is good to know that this is occurring in many circles. But they must take these proclamations to the next level by pointing their fingers at guilty parties and turning them in to the legal authorities.
Until the time comes that it is no longer safe for radical Islamic terrorists to find safe haven in their own communities, then this issue will not be eradicated. | positive |
UFC women's bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes has revealed how she enjoyed punching Ronda Rousey during her successful title defence, something she claimed was a result of anger.
In the buildup to their highly anticipated title fight at UFC 207 in December 2016, most of the attention was given to Rousey, who would be making her first appearance in the octagon 13 months after losing her title in November 2015.
Nunes on the other hand, was barely given any attention in the video promos hyping up the fight, with UFC commentator Joe Rogan bringing the issue up in a bringing the issue up in a tweet.
In the end, Nunes was able to comfortably defeat Rousey 48 seconds into the first round and recently mentioned how before the fight, she was feeling sad and alone.
"I talk about anger, but I was sad," Nunes said as quoted on MMAFighting. "I felt alone, you know what I mean? Everything was for Ronda, and I was the champion, the best in the world. That's why I say that. They hurt me a lot. I fought that day with anger."
"Every time I touched Ronda, connected a punch, I wanted more and more. That's why the fight was so fast. Every time I connected, I felt that she couldn't take it, so I threw more and only stopped when it was over. But it was good."
The Brazilian admitted that punching Rousey was "great" and stated that she wanted to laugh after each successful strike.
"It was great, you know?" she added. "Every punch I landed in that face made me wanna laugh, but I held it. It was great."
However, Nunes has no hard feelings towards the 30-year-old, who she wishes can end her UFC career with a win.
"She needs to take some time to recover," Nunes explained. "A loss is something tough. I've lost before, you need great people around you, your family, people giving you positive energy."
"I want to see Ronda coming back, her finishing her career with a win. Every athlete deserves that. I don't want it to end this way because it's sad. I won, but I don't wish her any harm. I want her to come back and maybe, who knows, a rematch in the future? It would be perfect." | positive |

About your tools
Up until lesson 5, I've been very adamant drawing everything freehand, with felt tip pens, and so on. And this has been for a good reason - it's important to maintain a certain degree of the right kinds of challenges to ensure that you guys gain as much as you can from each lesson.
This lesson, however, is going to be a little different. I am allowing, and in fact encouraging the use of the following:
Ballpoint pen for your linework (don't switch pens to do any sort of "clean-up" pass)
Brush pens for filling in large areas with solid black
Rulers/straight edges for drawing precise construction lines
Ellipse guides for constructing and aligning your ellipses
French curves for any complex, curving lines
Whenever drawing freehand, I still want you to apply the methodology I've outlined in the past - the ghosting method, drawing through ellipses, and so on. That said, in this case it is inevitable that with all of the necessary construction lines, and the significance placed on precision, it's important for you to be able to use tools that will allow you to focus more on the meat of the lesson, which is really about the manipulation and construction of complex compound forms.
As before, do not use pencil or digital media. | positive |
While speaking to a group of conservatives in Manhattan on Wednesday night, onetime presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani questioned President Barack Obama’s love for America.
“I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America,” the former mayor of New York City said, according to Politico. “He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up through love of this country.”
The inflammatory remarks were said at a private dinner for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a likely 2016 candidate, and even directed at him, in part.
“[W]ith all our flaws we’re the most exceptional country in the world. I’m looking for a presidential candidate who can express that, do that and carry it out,” he said. “And if it’s you Scott, I’ll endorse you … and if it’s somebody else, I’ll support somebody else.”
RELATED: Scott Walker punts on evolution
Walker declined to weigh into the controversy on Thursday morning, telling CNBC that “the mayor can speak for himself. I’m not going to comment on what the president thinks or not, he can speak for himself as well. I can tell you I love this country.”
Democrats condemned the remark.
“It was a horrible thing to say,” White House deputy press secretary Eric Schultz said simply.
“I rarely agreed with President Bush, but I never questioned his love for our country. I don’t often agree with my Republican colleagues on the Hill, but I know they love America,” Democratic National Committee chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said. “And here’s the kicker – Giuliani made those remarks at a small event attended by Scott Walker. One of the GOP front-runners was sitting just feet away, and didn’t say a word.”
“It’s pitiful,” declared the current mayor of New York Bill de Blasio. “I think it’s unfair for anyone to question our president’s patriotism. The president has served with great distinction.”
Giuliani backtracked slightly, saying he still believed the president was a patriot, only that he doesn’t love the country the way previous presidents had.
“What I’m saying is that, in his rhetoric, I very rarely hear him say the things that I used to hear Ronald Reagan say, the things I used to hear Bill Clinton say, about how much he loves America. I do hear him criticize America much more often than other American presidents,” he said.
But not everyone backed away from the remarks. A spokesman for Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal – a likely 2016 candidate – pushed out his support for the former mayor over email.
“Perhaps he should have chosen different phraseology for his remarks. The level of the President’s love for our country is immaterial at this juncture. What President Obama has obviously demonstrated for everyone is that he is incapable of successfully executing his duties as our Commander in Chief,” he said. “The gist of what Mayor Giuliani said – that the President has shown himself to be completely unable to speak the truth about the nature of the threats from these ISIS terrorists – is true.”
Giuliani and Jindal aren’t the first to question Obama’s love of country; in 2011, Gov. Rick Perry told a reporter to go ask the president if he loved the country, suggesting he didn’t believe he did.
“I think you want a president who is passionate about America – that’s in love with America,” Perry said while in Iowa. Asked if he was suggesting Obama did not, Perry responded only “You need to ask him … go ask him.” | positive |

Even respected liberals, who might be expected to be sympathetic with the views of the protesters at the UMass event, are realizing the problem of intolerance when protesters are being too offended by others. President Barack Obama, who spoke about this at a town meeting in Iowa in September, said that, "Sometimes there are folks on college campuses who are liberal, and maybe even agree with me on a bunch of issues, who sometimes aren't listening to the other side, and that's a problem too. I've heard of some college campuses where they don't want to have a guest speaker who is too conservative or they don't want to read a book if it has language that is offensive to African-Americans or somehow sends a demeaning signal toward women. I gotta tell you, I don't agree with that either. I don't agree that you, when you become students at colleges, have to be coddled and protected from different points of view. I think you should be able to — anybody who comes to speak to you and you disagree with, you should have an argument with 'em. But you shouldn't silence them by saying, 'You can't come because I'm too sensitive to hear what you have to say.' That's not the way we learn either." | positive |

On Tuesday's Morning Joe, host Joe Scarborough went unhinged on the mainstream media's lack of coverage of the IRS scandal. Scarborough held up The New York Times and berated news organizations on pulling a “scam” on the American people by not covering “the most shady behavior” of the IRS.
“This is why conservatives don’t trust the national newspapers,” Scarborough exclaimed. “It’s not the news they do run, it’s the stories they don’t run.” NewsBusters has documented the MSNBC hosts frustration over the IRS scandal in general.
Co-host Mika Brzezinski started the broadcast off talking about a new bridge scandal involving Chris Christie. The story was reported on the front page, above the fold of The New York Times. That’s when Scarborough grabbed the newspaper to search for coverage of the IRS. Guests Nicole Wallace and former RNC Chairman, Michael Steele informed him the story was buried all the way on page A19 of the newspaper.
The Times coverage of the scandal was on the 19th page, below the fold in the form of a Q&A with the title “Examining a Scandal Within a Scandal About Emails at the IRS” which made Scarborough shout, “A scandal within a scandal? No! It’s just a scandal.”
It should also be noted that the New York Times article covering the “scandal within a scandal” ended by quoting newly-minted White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest stating that “there is zero evidence to support Republican claims” or “conspiracy theories” that any foul play occurred. But Brzezinski made sure to point out that the Times ran a story on the front page about women in the workforce. To which Scarborough sarcastically replied, “That's great...”
Scarborough also mentioned that the Washington Post didn’t bother to place the story on its front page either. In fact, the only coverage the Post gave the scandal was an op-ed written by Dana Milbank where he referred to Congressman Issa as a “bully.”
Scarborough pointed out the hypocrisy of the situation using the argument that if “George Bush or any Republican had an IRS member go after Democrats and then there was an internal investigation launched, you would not have space on the front page to talk about women’s issues. This really is a scam!”
MSNBC’s token conservative noted that the media’s ignoring of the IRS Scandal is a prime example of why “conservatives don’t trust national news outlets because they are so biased and so slanted. It's the acts of omission when Democrats are in power. It's stunning."

Taylor Swift's income is the stuff of wildest dreams: the pop diva pulled in $170 million over the past year, giving her the No. 1 spot on the 2016 FORBES Celebrity 100 list. Our full ranking of the top-earning entertainers can be found here.
Swift's payday comes courtesy of her massive 1989 World Tour. She smashed the Rolling Stones' North American touring record, grossing $200 million on the continent en route to quarter of a billion dollars in total. She also pads her pocketbook by shilling for brands including Diet Coke, Keds and Apple .
On The Cover: Kim Kardashian, Mobile Mogul
The superstar's total is barely half as high as last year's Celeb 100 champ's haul--Floyd Mayweather pulled in $300 million in 2015 after the fight of the century with Manny Pacquiao--but it's easily more than last year's highest-paid musician, Katy Perry, who banked $135 million.
Korea's Pop Export: How Boyband Bigbang Made $44 Million
Swift's 2016 take is by far the highest total of her career, more than doubling last year's $80 million sum, her previous best.
She's also got plenty of new song fodder: Swift out-earned ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris, who claimed the No. 21 spot on our list with $63 million, by a nearly threefold margin. Had they stayed together, they would have been the top-earning Celebrity 100 couple, more than doubling Beyonce and Jay Z's $107.5 million total.

Sanders: House Budget Plan is an Assault on the Middle Class and a Gift to Millionaires and Billionaires
WASHINGTON, March 17 – Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee, today dismissed the House Republican budget as an attack on the middle class and seniors and a gift to millionaires, billionaires and high-powered tax lobbyists. And he predicted the Senate budget plan would be similar in most respects.
“The House budget is the Robin Hood principal in reverse. It takes from the poor and working families and gives it to the rich and multi-nationals corporations. It is a budget proposal that must be defeated. At a time when so many people are struggling and we have grotesque levels of wealth inequality, this budget cuts nutrition programs for kids, Medicare for seniors and education opportunities for young people. And then to add insult to injury, this budget plans offers huge tax breaks to the rich and large corporations,” Sanders said.
Sanders added: “I and other Democratic members will be offering a strong series of amendments in committee and on the Senate floor to change these disastrous proposals.”
The Republican plan released in the House takes aim at ordinary American families by:
Slashing Medicaid
Repealing the Affordable Care Act
Voucherizing Medicare, harming seniors
Eliminating the Medicaid expansion, which helped millions get affordable insurance
Freezing Pell grants and undermining Wall Street reform
Sanders noted several significant flaws in the House plan, including the use of taxes. For instance, if the top rates were cut to 25 percent as proposed last year, the total tax cuts would exceed $5.7 trillion and nearly half that – or $2.75 trillion – would go to households with income exceeding $1 million.
Moreover, their plans would allow the expiration of the Earned Income Tax Credit and Child Tax Credit after 2017, meaning 13 million families and a total of 25 million children would lose part or all of these tax credits in 2018. In Vermont alone, more than 15,000 families with nearly 25,000 children would lose part or all of these tax benefits in 2018.
Sanders said his goal is to have Senate Republicans, who are expected to release their budget plan tomorrow, to vote on a series of amendments spelling out priorities from the American people, including: Rebuilding infrastructure, raising the minimum wage, improving overtime pay, addressing pay equity for women workers, preventing cuts to Social Security and Medicare, making college education affordable and reforming the tax system. | positive |

At Naeka, we hardly ever make simple websites; we focus much more on an application-based model, and each application brings with it its own special characteristics, complexity and surprises - giving rise to interesting and challenging projects that we enjoy working on.
Generally, our needs are such that we tend to manage everything for ourselves, so that for many of our projects we only use Django for the backend, leaving the frontend to JavaScript frameworks such as Angular or Ember (which is our favorite).
Nevertheless, certain clients' requirements include the ability to manage their own web app, allowing it to develop as their organization grows. This means not only modifying the content but also giving the client the ability to modify the structure and respond dynamically without having to restart the development process.
We were familiar with the previous versions of Django-CMS, having had experience of working with them in the past. At the start of the year, we discovered, tested (and kept on testing), then learned to love the brand new major release of Django-CMS, which was in its "beta 3.0" version at the time.
Since it came out, we have used it in the development of two web apps. In some ways, this article is an account of a fascinating journey of (re)discovery, in view of the fact that there are so many new features and improvements.
Django-CMS is open source, with a large number of people contributing to its development, many of them in response to Divio, a web development agency based in Zurich that has initiated many other Django projects.
And what could be better for this agency than to base the program's developments on the express requirements of their significant customer base? Success and recognition come from the fact that, in addition to seven years of loyal service, the CMS has been widely adopted within the Django community.
What does the CMS allow you to create?
Django-CMS perfectly manages to provide all the usual functionality of a CMS, but it's worth knowing that:
Hierarchical page structure
A powerful yet simple content editor
A media manager, drag and drop and one-click operations
A publication workflow, moderation by super users and highly specific user permissions and roles
Version control, supported by roll back tools
Sandbox environment isolating the live and draft versions and content preview
Multilingual page versions with automatic and configurable fall-back pages
Search engine
It employs the same philosophy as Django, building on its functions; for instance, management of the “Sites Framework” that allows content originating from a single source to be incorporated into multiple sites. It also benefits from the Django administration tool, which allows a configuration interface to be generated automatically, meaning that extensions can be developed particularly quickly. It has its own multi-level cache (for pages, menus, etc.) which is based on Django and which significantly reduces server loads in instances where certain pages may generate a large number of database requests.
Finally, Django-CMS avoids needlessly reinventing the wheel and has managed to incorporate some extremely good Django apps for its own purposes, such as hvad for multilingual content, haystack for simple yet effective searching, mptt for hierarchic site structures and django-polymorphic for certain more esoteric modules.
The benefits
In a word: customization.
Django-CMS was designed from the outset as a core product that needed extensions to fulfill its potential. As the interface is very basic, there can be a steep and slow learning curve, but the upshot is that you never find yourself in a situation where functionality is lacking.
Their approach to menus is interesting: the menus contain the structure for the entire application. When a page is created, a menu entry is automatically allocated to it.
From that base, several options are provided to developers and integrators:
A page may be included in the navigation hierarchy but need not be);
Menus are generated automatically on several levels (making them easy to adapt for Bootstrap, for example);
The number of levels to be displayed can be customized, so it is perfectly possible to have multiple browsing zones; The main menu in a header can have one or two levels, giving fast and easy access to different categories; A secondary menu, in a sidebar for example, can have one or two levels based on the relevant context. As such, the menu on the second level of our site, will show the children of the current second level.
This gives a four-level navigation tree as shown:
can be simplified with the following approach:
The magical thing about it is that there is no coding required to get to his point, and many other usage cases can be achieved in the same way.
Menus use intelligently split templates, which allows the menu's default settings to be overridden, as a minimum to adapt the menu to suit the graphical toolkit that is deployed.
Finally, because some projects may require a different structure for a secondary menu (such as a sidebar) or for a dedicated menu for touch screens or small screen formats, it is possible to append a template argument to the show_menu tag (and all its derivatives).
In short, there really are no limits where integration is concerned and users are free to design a simple yet effective navigation tree that sits on top of a complex and highly nested structure.
Nevertheless, it is important to bear in mind when developing with Python that the structure is based on MPTT and therefore it is important to ensure that this depth of hierarchy is not abused, which risks slowing the user experience as a result of excessively complex SQL queries.
Breadcrumbs are not used throughout but depending on the structure, they may prove to be a useful choice. Site management is simple and menu-driven and can easily be customized to meet any particular requirements.
Managing a site of static pages is utterly routine and fortunately, Django-CMS is not limited to that single task. In effect, it provides two methods to extend the CMS:
Plugins: which are basic, yet incredibly simple. They may be placed at multiple locations throughout the site and may include a list of the last ten registered users, a PDF viewer or a Dailymotion reader, etc.
Each plugin has its own template that is used to configure it via a popup that appears directly on the front end while running on top of the Django administrator: everything is generated automatically!)
Each plugin also has its own view and template to display content and each can access the context of the page where it appears.
As a matter of definitions, anything that appears in a place holder is a plugin, including text, links, images and columns. One of the most powerful and unique aspects of this version 3? Plugins can be nested, which creates a lot of opportunities such as sliders, etc!
"App-hooks": pulling out all the stops. App hooks allow a Django app to be included as a descendant of a page in the hierarchy. Apps can be sourced from the developer's own project or from the thousands of existing Django apps that are available.
The app's urlconf can be used directly to generate a navigation structure or can be recreated in a cms_app.py file that contains all details of the app-hook's configuration. With app-hooks, the CMS is no longer bound by any limits and it becomes entirely possible to include highly specialized, custom-developed items in institutional sites. There is so much that could be said about the numerous and varied possibilities, but even if we restrict ourselves to an abstract description, the prospect is quite daunting. That is why I invite you, if you would like to learn more about app-hooks, to regard this intense video presentation on app-hooks (56 min in length, by Martin Koistinen, a Django-CMS core developer). After discussing customization above, it should be understood that absolutely everything can be modified: pages, menus (including at runtime, depending on the context), the admin interface and the "toolbar" which is useful for staff who administer the site.
One last benefit deserves to be highlighted: the API.
This is an internal API (don't think of it as equivalent to REST) which really makes it much easier to manage the CMS during automated processing operations. It's extremely simple but it contains the procedures that represent the right way to create a page, to publish (or withdraw) a page and to manage placeholders and plugins.
That has proved to be particularly useful on two occasions for two of our projects:
When we were integrating a REST API (this time with Tastypie) we needed to publish or withdraw such and such page depending on whether or not certain objects were included.
(this time with Tastypie) we needed to publish or withdraw such and such page depending on whether or not certain objects were included. When we had to migrate content that had been created in Spip. Funky.
Django-CMS: avenues for improvement.
A generic system for a draft/live version that could be used for any app-hook with a PlaceholderField .
Currently, when a user edits the content of a placeholder, it is immediately reflected in the live environment. For the end user (who is not necessarily comfortable with technology), this behavior is not consistent with that of traditional pages or static placeholders, where users may edit their drafts at leisure, as many times as they wish before making a deliberate decision to publish by clicking on a button.
Nevertheless this would be a fairly complex improvement to implement as it requires a different approach to be taken. Two placeholders would be needed (one draft and one public to adopt the terminology of Django-CMS, although it may be possible to use a mixin) but it is extremely important to revise the publication procedure, although I am afraid that may be far from a trivial task.
Links to external content (created via app-hooks) from the text editor. In fact, it is impossible to create a link to the child object of an app-hook, even while attaching a menu to it.
Admittedly this is for the simple and valid reason that the Link Plugin has a foreign key to a page.
Nevertheless it is quite unsettling for users who may not make the distinction between a page within the CMS itself and a page that is managed by an app-hook. Other plugins such as “styledlink” aim to address this problem, but it is still regrettable that there is no solution right out of the box.
In conclusion:
Even though the Django-CMS interface won't revolutionize the world of content management systems, its comprehensive range of features and its extensive options for customization mean that it is a very good CMS that comes highly recommended. That is certainly why it is the most widely used CMS among the very good systems that run on Django (Mezzanine, FeinCMS or even the new, but highly promising Wagtail, to name but a few).
Moreover, its large user community, the support accessible via Google Groups and Stack Overflow and the comprehensive tutorials that are available mean that the system can be learned quickly and easily. The plugins are also simple to create and there is an existing range of reliable plugins that grows from day to day, serving as a source of inspiration when a level of complexity is reached that takes you beyond the level of the documentation or the tutorials.
Finally, we found that Django-CMS 2.x was quite difficult to access for certain users. Since the appearance of version 30, frontend editing and the CKEditor are clearer, simpler and more powerful. | positive |
A man who was punched in the head over the weekend while refereeing an adult-league soccer match in suburban Detroit died Tuesday, authorities and a longtime friend of the referee said.
John Bieniewicz, who was attacked Sunday at a park in Livonia, died at Detroit Receiving Hospital, said hospital spokesman Alton Gunn, Livonia police and the man's longtime friend, Jim Acho.
Police Lt. Tom Goralski said a 36-year-old man punched Bieniewicz in the head after the referee indicated he planned to eject the man from the game. Baseel Abdul-Amir Saad of Dearborn was arraigned Monday on a charge of assault with intent to do great bodily harm. The Wayne County prosecutor's office said the charges would be reviewed and possibly amended when it had the necessary documentation.
Bieniewicz, 44, was a dialysis technician at Mott Children's Hospital who lived in the Detroit suburb of Westland with his wife and two sons, said Acho, who was a classmate of Bieniewicz's at Catholic Central High School.
"I speak for all his friends when I say we are devastated. Crushed. Just a senseless way for a great guy to go out," Acho said. "He deserved better."
The incident, along with a similar death in Utah last year when a referee was killed by a teenage player, is raising concern about the safety of amateur sports.
"Never in my life did I think it would happen here," Joseph Cosenza, a player in the game Sunday, told Fox 2 News in Detroit.
Baseel Abdul-Amir Saad was charged in the assault. According to a 911 call released by police, Saad punched Bieniewicz and then fled the scene in his Jeep while his victim lay unconscious on the field. (Detroit News)
"All of that over a meaningless, know-nothing, over-30 men's soccer league that, honestly, it's not worth it," Cosenza said.
"You know, we all want to go and play, but the more I talk to friends, the more they say it's not worth playing anymore, because this is starting to happen more and more often."
Bieniewicz, Acho said, was the only student-athlete in the class of 1988 to letter in both football and basketball at the ultra-competitive Detroit-area parochial school. Acho, who ran a basketball camp with Bieniewicz for four years after high school, said his 6-foot-5 friend would "wow the kids with dunks."
'Just heartbroken'
But much to the surprise of his friends, Bieniewicz gravitated to soccer. He had been a well-respected referee for two decades.
Another friend, Anthony Arrington, said he would often seek Bieniewicz's advice when coaching his sons' youth soccer teams.
"We have a special bond," said Arrington, who added that Bieniewicz's passion for soccer spurred members of their group of friends to watch the World Cup in Brazil.
"Just heartbroken. Just a good person, good family man," Arrington said.
Bieniewicz was doing what he loved on Sunday when he was attacked, Acho said.
Saad was not at Mies Park when police arrived, but surrendered Monday, Goralski said. At Saad's arraignment in Livonia District Court, bond was set at $500,000 and a probable-cause hearing was set for July 10.
Saad's lawyer, Brian Berry, said his client was cooperating with police and was not guilty of the charge.
"As the case progresses we expect to learn the cause of the referee's injuries," Berry said.
Memorial fund established
Acho said a fund was being set up to help pay for his friend's funeral and burial expenses as well as his children's futures. Bieniewicz's organs were being donated, Acho said.
Violence is not unheard of in soccer and other sports. The recorded telephone message at the National Association of Sports Officials in Racine, Wisconsin, says, "For NASO insurance or assault information, press 3."
Barry Mano — the president and founder of NASO, which has 21,000 dues-paying members in sports ranging from football and soccer to rodeo and water polo — said his group spends 20 per cent of its time on assault and liability-related issues, up from around 3 percent 20 years ago.
"When we're unhappy with sports officials, irrespective if the calls are right or wrong, the idea that we believe that we can go smack somebody because we're unhappy is disturbing," he said.
A worrying trend
In April 2013, a 17-year-old player punched referee Ricardo Portillo after being called for a foul during a soccer game in Taylorsville, Utah, near Salt Lake City. Portillo, a father of three, died after a week in a coma. The teen pleaded guilty to a homicide charge.
In Brazil last year, a 20-year-old referee was killed, dismembered and decapitated by spectators after he stabbed a player to death during an amateur soccer match. And a volunteer linesman was beaten to death following a 2012 youth amateur match outside Amsterdam. Six teenage players and the father of one of the boys were convicted of manslaughter.
It's part of a worrying trend, Mano said.
"We have trouble getting men and women and young people to come into refereeing. No duh. This is the reason why," he said. | positive |

Sen. John McCain John Sidney McCainGOP lobbyists worry Trump lags in K Street fundraising Mark Kelly kicks off Senate bid: ‘A mission to lift up hardworking Arizonans’ Gabbard hits back at Meghan McCain after fight over Assad MORE (R-Ariz.) on Thursday said the White House had blocked its cyber czar from testifying before the Senate Armed Services Committee on U.S. efforts to defend the nation against cyberattacks, and later signaled that the official could be subpoenaed to appear before the committee.
Rob Joyce, a member of the National Security Council (NSC), was invited to testify before the full committee Thursday morning. However, McCain, the panel chairman, said in his opening remarks that the White House had declined to have him testify, citing executive privilege and “precedent against having nonconfirmed NSC staff testifying before Congress.”
While such a move has been consistent with past practices by both Republican and Democratic administrations, McCain asserted that the issue of cybersecurity “requires us to completely rethink our old ways of doing business.”

“I would also like to note at the outset the empty chair at the witness table,” McCain said during opening remarks. “Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, the White House declined to have its cyber coordinator testify.”
He said Joyce’s absence underscored the “fundamental misalignment between authority and accountability in our government today when it comes to cyber.”
“All of our witnesses answer to the Congress for their part of the cyber mission. But none of them is accountable for addressing cyber in its entirety. In theory, that is the White House Cyber Coordinator’s job, but that nonconfirmable position lacks the full authority to make cyber policy and strategy and direct our government’s efforts,” McCain said. “ And that official is literally prohibited by legal precedent from appearing before the Congress.”
Later, McCain signaled that Joyce could be subpoenaed, in response to a suggestion from Sen. Bill Nelson Clarence (Bill) William Nelson2020 party politics in Puerto Rico There is no winning without Latinos as part of your coalition Dem 2020 candidates court Puerto Rico as long nomination contest looms MORE (D-Fla.). “I think that has to be discussed," McCain said.
McCain told reporters after the hearing that the committee would meet and consider whether or not to subpoena Joyce.
“We’re going to have a meeting of the committee and discuss the issue," he said.
Thursday’s hearing featured testimony from several top cybersecurity officials from across different federal departments, including Kenneth Rapuano, the Pentagon’s assistant Defense secretary for homeland defense and global security; Scott Smith, the assistant director for the FBI’s cyber division; and Christopher Krebs, the acting undersecretary for the Department of Homeland Security entity charged with protecting federal civilian networks and critical infrastructure from cyber threats.
Joyce, the former leader of an elite hacking group at the National Security Agency, was brought into Trump’s White House in the early months of the new administration.

Czech inquiry falls in line with international suits, as Internet giant calls incidents “accident”
Internet giant Google has apologized for the interception of personal data from Wi-Fi networks while gathering information for its Street View service. The expressed regret comes a month after the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection launched a probe into the company’s activities.
Peter Barron, Google’s director of communications for North and Central Europe, said the company was sorry for its “accidental collection” of personal information from the public’s Wi-Fi networks.
“We are determined to learn the lessons from this mistake,” he said in an interview with the BBC May 22. “Collection of data is not to know anything about you as an individual; it is about providing a better service.”
The mea culpa comes as data protection agencies across the globe launched investigations into Google’s activities after the company admitted May 17 that its fleet of Street View vehicles, used for the collection of images for its Google Maps service, had intercepted communications sent over unsecured wireless networks in people’s homes. The data, totaling 600 gigabytes (GB), was collected from 30 countries over the past three years.
“We screwed up,” said Sergey Brin, the company’s co-founder, at the opening of Google’s conference for software developers in San Francisco May 20. Google is adding to its internal controls after it mistakenly captured the data, he added.
Investigations have been launched in several countries including Australia, the United States and Italy to see whether the tech giant has breached data protection and computer hacking laws. In the United States, Google is facing an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission and a class action lawsuit that could force the company to pay up to $10,000 (8,200 euros/211,200 Kč) each time it records data from unprotected hotspots. Meanwhile, in Germany, Hamburg prosecutors are conducting a criminal investigation.
Locally, the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection said its case was based on Google’s failure to “fulfill conditions of registration” for the collection of personal data as prescribed by Czech law.
“Google has not complied with the registration requirement imposed by law for the personal data controllers who intend to process personal data,” Czech Office for Personal Data Protection spokeswoman Hana Štěpánková told The Prague Post. “Their intentions are not justified by any specific law.”
According to the agency, Google could face a fine of up to 392,000 euros for the breach.
Privacy experts speculated the incidents may have exposed a significant oversight in Google’s operations.
“Google must have accessed a lot of passwords and data when carrying out the unauthorized data collection. I do not understand why Google did not address the possible risk of its actions in advance,” said Kateřina Hlatká, a spokeswoman for local privacy group Iuridicum Remedium. “Perhaps it is easier for them to go out there in the first place and deal with the risks involved afterward.”
Hlatká added that she supported the Czech Office for Personal Data Protection investigation.
“At least it will be a deterrent case for other companies,” she said.
Meanwhile, Simon Davies, director of Privacy International, said the incident was a massive blow for Google’s credibility: “This is a cock-up that makes even the most unconcerned wonder if they could believe a company claim ever again.”
“How did nobody notice there was 600 GB of data that wasn’t meant to be there?” he said, according to The Financial Times. “Something is amiss, frankly, in the whole story.”
This is not the first time Google’s Street View project has come under scrutiny. Earlier this year, the company said it might cancel the Street View service in the EU due to the unmanageable requests of the European Commission, including a demand that residents be notified before cameras were sent out.
In November 2009, Switzerland’s Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner said the agency would be suing Google because a number of faces and vehicle number plates “are not made sufficiently unrecognizable from the point of view of data protection” in the Street View service. Meanwhile, shortly after its UK launch in March last year, Privacy International sent a formal complaint about the service to the UK data protection agency, the Information Commissioners Office (ICO), which cited more than 200 reports from members of the public who were identifiable in Street View images.
The latest incident has prompted a number of agencies, including the ICO and the Irish Data Protection Authority, to ask Google to delete all of the personal information it has collected from their respective countries.
Privacy International said it is against such a move, saying it is unlawful.
“Privacy International believes this instruction is based on advice that is ill-informed and irresponsible, as the action may be unlawful,” it said in an open letter to EU privacy commissioners. “We urge Google to politely ignore these instructions and, instead, securely store the data with a trusted third party pending further investigation.”
The letter added that destroying any data would constitute a destruction of evidence. | positive |
Markus Schreiber / AP German Chancellor Angela Merkel stand with members of the new ruling coalition, German Free Democratic Party chairman Guido Westerwelle, right, and Bavaria's Christian Social Union chairman Horst Seehofer.
Germany's new coalition government put the finishing touches to its policy program this weekend, promising moderate tax cuts to help support the economy, a reduction in the length of compulsory military service, and the continued operation of the nation's aging nuclear power plants. No big surprises there. But one detail could have interesting international repercussions: the man designated to be foreign minister, Guido Westerwelle, is pushing for the U.S. to remove its remaining nuclear weapons from German soil.
"We want the last nuclear weapons that are stationed in Germany to be taken away," Westerwelle said at the conclusion of the coalition talks on Saturday. The U.S. doesn't disclose the exact number of nuclear warheads it still keeps in Germany, a legacy of its Cold War policy that dates back to the 1950s, and which made western Germany the frontline of its Soviet containment strategy. But German sources estimate there could be as many as 20 nukes still in the country. (See a profile of Guido Westerwelle.)
The senior partners in the coalition are Chancellor Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and its Bavarian sister party, the Christian Social Union (CSU). Westerwelle heads the junior coalition party, the Free Democrats, and campaigned primarily on economic and finance issues. He was forced to scale back his demands for deep tax cuts in the coalition talks, and his demand to turn Germany into a nuclear weapon-free zone may have been agreed partly to assuage the sting of compromise. Merkel said that she would be seeking the withdrawal within the context of NATO, rather than as a unilateral measure. "We don't want to act in this matter on our own," she said. (See a pictorial history of the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall.)
The coalition agreement took three weeks to cobble together, and is expected to be signed on Monday. Tax cuts were the key area of conflict. In the end, the parties agreed on a reduction totaling 24 billion euros ($36 billion). Among the beneficiaries will be small businesses, families and people inheriting money from their parents. The government is also planning to reform its health insurance system from 2011, shifting more of the financial burden on the public via direct premium payments. (See a story about Angela Merkel's economic legacy.)
The new designated finance minister is an old government hand, Wolfgang Schaeuble, who long served as a powerbroker in the CDU and was a close adviser to former Chancellor Helmut Kohl. He has been wheelchair-bound since an assassination attempt in 1990.
The man chosen to be defense minister is a rising star of the CSU, Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg. Unlike Westerwelle, who comes to the Foreign Ministry little known outside Germany and with clunky English, zu Guttenberg is already a familiar, even reassuring, figure in Washington. There's comfort for Washington too in the coalition position on Afghanistan. The agreement explicitly states that Germany's military involvement in Afghanistan is in the German national interest. | positive |
5 Shopify Shipping Apps To Boost Customer Experience - ShipperHQ Features Pricing Marketplace Contact Blog Get Started Free Partner Spotlight & Tips 6 Shopify Shipping Apps That Boost Customer Experience By admin July 1, 2020 If your customers can’t get an optimized shipping experience from your online store, they’ll find another way to get the products they want. In this day and age, it’s simply a fact that your online shipping experience will play a big role in a customer’s decision to shop with you. Before COVID, millions of customers relied on Amazon as their go-to ecommerce shop for everything. In the wake of the pandemic, Amazon’s fulfillment times and operations have been severely disrupted, leading consumers to seek out the products they need from smaller retailers. This change gives small and mid-sized merchants a significant opportunity to optimize their shipping. In fact, 38% of consumers say that a negative shipping experience will prevent them from ever buying from a store again. But navigating through all the different Shopify shipping apps can be time consuming. That’s why we’ve researched what’s out there and collected what we think are the top five Shopify shipping apps for online retailers in 2021. 5 Shopify Shipping Apps Worth Checking Out in 2021 From last-mile delivery tracking, to mitigating the damage if a delivery goes south, all of the following Shopify shipping apps will help you better compete with other merchants, especially the big retail giants. 1. AfterShip No customer wants to be in the dark when it comes to their package. At any point during the delivery process, they want to know exactly where their items are and how much longer it will be before they have them in their hands. For most of the delivery process, this is relatively simple. However, there’s the problem of the “last mile delivery.” The last mile – when a package goes from a carrier distribution center to a customer’s address – is typically when the most issues pop up. And most of them are completely uncontrollable. However, companies like AfterShip put control in your hands with 683 (and counting) couriers around the world to ensure your packages end up on the right doorstep. This also allows your customers to track the delivery more accurately, letting them know where their items are at all times. Used by major retailers like Wish and Etsy for proactive last-mile customer communication Robust API supports a growing list of hundreds of carriers Scalable solution with analytics to diagnose common failure points Cost: After their 14-day free trial, AfterShip’s monthly pricing ranges from $9 for 100 trackings/month to $999 for 25,000 trackings/month. They also offer forever free and custom Enterprise options for merchants who fall below or above these parameters. Download AfterShip in the Shopify App Store 2. Auctane – ShipStation Auctane brand ShipStation streamlines shipping while lowering costs. By importing orders from more than 100 marketplaces, ShipStation allows you to consolidate all of your shipping and sync all your marketplaces onto one platform. Shipping orders include a geo-tracking page and a self-service customer portal to make returns easy. Plus, inventory and detailed analytics help ensure you stay fully stocked, and powered up with real-time insights to make the best decisions for your business. Marketplaces include eBay, Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, and Walmart High volume shipping provides lower negotiated rates from carriers like FedEx, UPS and USPS. Cost: After a 30-day free trial, pricing tiers range from $9 to $159 a month for 50 to 10,000 monthly shipments respectively and custom packages are available. Subscriptions include a free Stamps.com account and deep discounts with UPS and USPS. Download ShipStation in the Shopify App Store 3. EasyShip With EasyShip, ecommerce retailers can access pre-negotiated shipping rates from couriers around the world with just one account. They can also link their own courier accounts (including Fedex, UPS, DHL and more) to use their own negotiated rates. Easyship’s dynamic rates are based on actual items in your customers’ carts, so your quotes are always accurate. Customers can choose between the fastest, cheapest, and best value courier services at checkout, with fully landed costs. Merchants have the ability to manage their shipments from one dashboard. You compare courier rates, generate labels and pre-filled international paperwork and automate returns.

Access 250+ shipping solutions and rates of up to 70% off See all required taxes, duties, and courier fees up front for every shipment Share branded tracking pages and emails from purchase to delivery Get complete Customs documentation to avoid shipping issues and delays Cost: Free to install. Users simply pay for what they ship. Costs incurred are shipping costs and subscription fees for more established stores. Download EasyShip in the Shopify App Store 4. Route – Shipping Insurance While predictability is boring in real life, it’s coveted in the world of logistics. For those unfortunate times when a shipment goes awry, you want a shipping insurance partner you can rely on. When an item is lost, damaged or stolen, Route – Shipping Insurance can help keep customers with one-click shipping insurance. Not only are customers protected by this coverage, your expenses are also covered. Route’s shipping insurance is part of a larger Route ecosystem that “empowers brands to be intentional about their post-purchase experience with visual order tracking, package protection, effortless claim-filing, and the world’s first universal order history.” Focusing on the post-purchase customer journey, Route can automatically ship lost, damaged or stolen items by purchasing the item again and sending it directly to the customer. At check-out, customers can opt into Route’s insurance at no cost to you When the product ships, the customer receives a link to file a claim if needed Route aims for a 24-hour response window and 5-day payout turnaround Offering the coverage does not contractually obligate you as a merchant – all costs are incurred by your customers Cost: None for merchants, value-dependant for customers Download Route in the Shopify App Store 5. Bold Subscriptions Bold helps subscription box merchants reduce churn and keep products fresh. The solution also automates subscription businesses by increasing options for customers, which include editing custom boxes, discounts for new/recurring customers, gift subscriptions and much more. As the highest-rated subscription app in the Shopify app store, Bold can also help with inventory control, robust analytics and more. Other options include “convertible” subscriptions that offer introductory products before converting to standard products Features include dynamic discounting capability, buy button functionality on social media or blogs, and edit/pause/skip features allow customers flexibility in their subscription Cost: Starting at $39.99 a month after a 60-day free trial Download Bold in the Shopify App Store 6.

What Turns Women On? Six Traits To Turn A Girl On Sexually & Emotionally Home Health Music Lifestyle Technology Business Fashion & Beauty Jokes Home Lifestyle What Turns Women On? Six Traits To Turn A Girl On Sexually & Emotionally What Turns Women On? Six Traits To Turn A Girl On Sexually & Emotionally BaPS September 10, 2022 0 View pictures in App save up to 80% data. If you want to impress a girl and turn on her interest in you, whether it’s your first conversation or the tenth, there are a few things you should know and follow. A smile that blinds. They say love is blind. Then, having a dazzling smile is surely a way to blind your woman into falling for you.. You don’t need to have teeth that are perfect; you’ll still snag a few female hearts if you flash a smile or two. Keep your teeth clean, your breath on the fresh side, and your smile will go a long way. Suit up!. There’s something about a guy who can pull off a nice suit. However, it doesn’t need to be a suit. A man who can pull off a t-shirt and shorts and still look dashing in it is just as hot as a guy in a suit. The trick is in knowing how to dress for the occasion. After all, a suit won’t do you good if you’re going to be spending a day at the beach or on a boat at sea. A sexy accent. No one can resist a guy with a foreign accent, be it a French one, Scottish, or the good ol’ Southern drawl. There’s something alluring and different about an accent that gets most women hot under the collar. Talent. Women, like birds, are turned on when they see their man showing off their dancing skills or belting out a song.. You may not be the quarterback or the basketball star, but if you can play an awesome riff on an electric guitar or strike the drums, then women are sure to line up to meet you. Compliments. Make her feel good by acknowledging or complimenting her. Make sure you give her a smile and a wink she’ll be loving it. Whatever compliment you give, as long as it’s genuine and comes from your heart, she’ll appreciate every word of it! Tell her she looks nice today, compliment her outfit, or better yet, compliment her goals and ambition. Being listened to. Women like to feel important, so you make her your sole focus when you’re together. Be attentive to what she’s saying and be real about it. No woman wants to get in the bedroom with you if you barely listen to a word she’s saying.

Sunderland have completed the £3m signing of Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Liam Bridcutt.
The Scotland international, 24, has joined on a three-and-a-half year deal.
The Black Cats' fifth signing of the transfer window was signed by Sunderland head coach Gus Poyet when the Uruguayan was Brighton boss.
The former Chelsea academy player made 151 appearances on the south coast and was Brighton's player of the year in both 2013 and 2012.
Bridcutt had a in early January and had not played since the New Year's Day Championship draw with Bournemouth.
Born in Reading, Bridcutt signed his first professional contract with Chelsea in 2007, but did not play a first-team game for the club and was released in 2010.
Since joining the Seagulls, he has helped them win the League One title in 2011 and reach the Championship play-offs last season.
Meanwhile, Sunderland defender Modibo Diakite has joined Italian Serie A side Fiorentina on loan until the end of the season.
The 26-year-old has played only eight times for the Black Cats, but faced both Everton and Cardiff City over the Christmas period to end a two-month wait for first-team football. | positive |

CLOSE Paul Graham and Anello Mollica, owners of Central Waters Brewing, celebrate the brewery's anniversary by hosting a party and selling a limited-release anniversary beer drawing thousands of beer lovers to Amherst, a town of 1,435 in central Wisconsin. Bill Schulz and Mark Hoffman

On the last weekend in January, the population of Amherst — 1,495 residents — will more than double.
If last year is any indication, people will arrive by the busload and spread to hotels from Waupaca to Stevens Point. They'll eat a hearty meal in the afternoon and crowd breakfast joints the next day. In a month considered the second worst for hotel stays, Portage County's occupancy for the 2016 weekend of the party was more than 83%.
They come for one reason: beer.
Paul Graham and Anello Mollica, owners of Central Waters Brewing, host an anniversary celebration at the brewery in the small town in north central Wisconsin. This year's bash, which will be held on Jan. 28, had 2,250 tickets available. It sold out in less than 30 seconds.
The party is just a bonus. Buying a $15 ticket allows fans to purchase 22-ounce bottles of the brewery's special bourbon barrel-aged beer called 19, for the brewery's 19th anniversary. A bottle costs $15 and ticket holders can buy up to six bottles.
Central Waters, which started putting stouts in bourbon barrels in 2001, is considered among the first in the state to experiment with barrel aging. Flash forward to 2017, and high-alcohol barrel-age beers are 30% of the brewery portfolio.
But barrel-age brews are 100% of the fascination for beer geeks who come to the brewery from as far away as Texas. Last year's anniversary beer, 18, sells for $50 on beerblackbook.com, more than three times the original price. It has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 11%.
All about 'that hunt'
For the event, barrels are stacked to the ceiling on a back wall so bands such as Art Stevenson and Highwater have room to perform. At the other end of the warehouse, a phalanx of mobile beer dispensers are set up to serve the rest of the Central Waters inventory. Familiar faces from Milwaukee bars like Burnhearts are sometimes manning the taps.
The party is an all-hands-on deck occasion for the staff, and Mollica can be found walking through the crowds. Graham sometimes escapes to the employee lounge, a hidden-in-plain-sight room where he can keep an eye on the crowds.
Shuttle buses drop off full loads of thirsty fans hours before the party begins at 3 p.m. The beer lovers stand shivering in line, sharing bottles of rare or hard-to-get beers — known in the beer world as a whale — from other breweries to pass the time and start a conversation among the like-minded. Some come early to make sure they can grab the rare table top inside the brewery.
The first order of business in the afternoon will be to pick up bottles of 19 in an area roped off like a Disneyland ride. Throughout the brewery, there will be tall tables but no chairs and, as the place fills up, standing room only becomes a tight squeeze thanks to winter coats, flimsy plastic cups of beer and an abundance of humans. The ticket price include two glasses of beer, but odds are good that the guy next to you still has a whale or two left to consume.
The shuttle buses return the sometimes tipsy party-goers back to Milwaukee, Madison or to hotels in Stevens Point. Last call is 9 p.m.

Central Waters isn't the only brewery that holds a daylong event around a specific beer. Three Floyds near Chicago hosts Dark Lord Day, and Surly Brewing in Minneapolis has Darkness Day.
Beer lovers live for this.
"I find all this chasing after things that are rare to really has nothing to with beer and everything to do with that hunt, that status, that tracking down something that nobody else has got. It's basically a dopamine rush," said Randy Mosher, who works with two Chicago-area breweries and is an author of three books on beer and brewing.
Last year, Central Waters introduced a limited-release of Ardea Insignis, which Mollica and Graham named for "the rarest heron in the world," a white-bellied version of the Central Waters symbol. The Imperial stout is aged for more than three years in 25-year-old bourbon barrels for a smooth taste. It was available only by lottery; a 22-ounce bottle sold for $40.

A sketchy start
Funny story: The first bourbon barrels that Central Waters' Graham and Mollica got they acquired after handing an envelope of cash to a stranger driving a truck to Kentucky. The barrels, all from the Buffalo Trace Distillery, cost $25 each at the time.
"It was sketchy," said Mollica, grinning the smile of someone for whom risk has brought reward. And a national reputation.
The inspiration for Central Waters' barrel-aging brews is a booze-soaked tale. Mollica and Graham were drinking at a friend's brewery. Mollica can't remember if the friend dropped bourbon-soaked oak chips in the glass of brew or added Jack Daniel's. Either way, it caught their attention.
Mollica speaks loudly to be heard over the sound of hard wood barrels clanging on the cement floor as workers shift them around the 16,000-square foot warehouse Central Waters added a couple of years ago. Graham stops his barrel arranging for a few minutes to chat. Neither Graham or Mollica brew much anymore — that's left to head brewer Simon Nielsen and staff, although Graham will pick up a shift if a brewer is out.

Mollica and Graham went to the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point together — Mollica for psychology and Graham for geography. Neither was old enough to drink, but they could legally buy the equipment to brew beer. One successful brew led to another, and led to a brewery.
"It's a hobby gone out of control," Graham said.
'Flyover' appeal
In 1998, Graham joined Central Waters, eventually buying out owners Mike McElwain and Jerome Ebel in 2001. Graham smiles as he recalls the story of being laughed out of a banker's office when he requested a loan.
Mollica joined him and, in 2006, they moved the brewery from Junction City to a business park on the edge of Amherst where they created a solar-powered, ever-expanding brewery with an emphasis on sustainability.
A month ago, the brewery was fitted with a new 50-barrel brewhouse (the old one had a 30-barrel capacity), an acknowledgement that Central Waters is over or on the cusp of moving from microbrewery to regional brewery. A regional brewery is defined by the Brewers Association as a brewery with an annual beer production of between 15,000 and 6 million barrels.
"Honestly, one of the biggest pieces of feedback we get is that we're one of the most underrated breweries. I love that," Mollica said. "Part of it is that we're from here. We're flyover."
In addition to Wisconsin, Central Waters distributes in Minnesota, Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Michigan, Indiana, Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vermont, New York City and Philadelphia. South Carolina distribution is coming soon.
Central Waters' portfolio includes seven year-round beers, from Honey Blonde Ale to Mudpuppy Porter; four seasonal beers; six in the Brewers Reserve Series; and seven in the cellar sessions, including 1414, which started it all. Five years ago, the stout blended in 14-year-old bourbon barrels for 14 months, won gold at the Great American Beer Festival, cementing the brewery's reputation for barrel-aged beers.
"I would put them up there with a Goose Island or someone like that," said Kate Bernot, beer editor for Draft Magazine. Chicago-based Goose Island produces Bourbon County Stout, which is considered the first popular barrel-aged beer.
Continuing to grow
Heady praise, but Mollica and Graham remember how not so long ago they hand-labeled every bottle because they couldn't afford that type of equipment. They still use the depalletizer (it unloads the empty bottles) they bought from Founders Brewing years ago.
The brewery now has 13 full-time employees, including a quality control guy whose business card says "mad scientist."
Barrel character plays a big part in the taste of the beer from bottle to bottle and year to year.
"There's always a variance. That's the fun of it," Mollica said. "Some people think (anniversary beer) 16 was the best."
Victims of their own success, those long-ago $25 bourbon barrels now cost up to $195 each.
Barrel-aging made Central Waters' name, but they're just a part of the brewery's lineup — which is always being updated. One example: HHG, an American pale ale inspired by the music of Wisconsin band Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, is on pace to become the most popular year-round beer in the inventory, Mollica said.
This year, the brewery will retire two brews: Headless Heron Barrel-Aged Pumpkin Spice Ale and Glacial Trail, an English American IPA.
"Palates change. Our palates change. People are looking for a more hop-forward IPA," Mollica said.
The barrel-aged beers, however, will be hard to beat for the foot traffic they draw to the small brewery in the middle of the state in the middle of the country.
Scott Schrank of Wauwatosa was excited when a friend got him a ticket for his fourth anniversary party. Schrank holds standing reservations at an Amherst bed-and-breakfast.
"I don't want this to sound bad, but I don't know why I would ever go there without the brewery there," Schrank said.

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian military chiefs have told soldiers not to post personal information on social networking sites such as Facebook because it could prompt attacks by groups such as Al Qaeda, the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. said on Tuesday.
Canada currently has 2,500 troops stationed in southern Afghanistan, an area where the Taliban is strong.
“Al Qaeda operatives are monitoring Facebook and other social networking sites,” the CBC quoted an internal military memo saying.
“This may seem over dramatic ... (but) the information can be used to target members for further exploitation. It also opens the door for your families and friends to become potential targets as well,” it said.
The memo advised soldiers not to appear in uniform online and not to reveal any military connections.
A defense ministry spokeswoman could not immediately confirm the story. | positive |

Steven Jay Hatfill (born October 24, 1953) is an American physician, virologist and biological weapons expert.
A former biodefense researcher for the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) at Fort Detrick, Hatfill came to the public eye after being wrongfully suspected in the 2001 anthrax attacks.[1]
Hatfill became "the subject of a flood of news media coverage beginning in mid-2002, after television cameras showed Federal Bureau of Investigation agents in biohazard suits searching his apartment" and then Attorney General John Ashcroft named him "person of interest" in the investigation on national television.[1] Hatfill's home was repeatedly raided by the FBI, his phone was tapped, and he was extensively surveilled for more than two years; he was also fired from his job at Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC).[2] "At a news conference in August 2002, Hatfill tearfully denied that he had anything to do with the anthrax letters and said irresponsible news media coverage based on government leaks had destroyed his reputation".[1] Hatfill filed a lawsuit in 2003, accusing the FBI agents and Justice Department officials who led the criminal investigation of leaking information about him to the press in violation of the federal Privacy Act.[1]
In 2008, the government settled Hatfill's lawsuit for $4.6 million.[3] The government officially exonerated Hatfill of any involvement in the anthrax attacks, and the Justice Department identified another military scientist, Bruce Edward Ivins, as the sole perpetrator of the anthrax attacks.[1] Jeffrey A. Taylor, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia, wrote in a letter to Hatfill's lawyer that "we have concluded, based on laboratory access records, witness accounts and other information, that Dr. Hatfill did not have access to the particular anthrax used in the attacks, and that he was not involved in the anthrax mailings."[1]
In 2004, Hatfill filed lawsuits against several periodicals and journalists who had identified him as a figure warranting further investigation in the anthrax attacks. Hatfill sued the New York Times Company and New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof for defamation, defamation per se, and intentional infliction of emotional distress in connection with five of Kristof's columns in 2002. The courts dismissed this suit, finding that Hatfill was a limited purpose public figure.[4][5][6] In 2007, Hatfill settled a similar libel lawsuit against Vanity Fair and Reader's Digest for an undisclosed amount, after both magazines agreed to formally retract any implication that Hatfill was involved in the anthrax mailings.[7]
David Freed writes that Hatfill's story "provides a cautionary tale about how federal authorities, fueled by the general panic over terrorism, embraced conjecture and coincidence as evidence, and blindly pursued one suspect while the real anthrax killer roamed free for more than six years. Hatfill's experience is also the wrenching saga of how an American citizen who saw himself as a patriot came to be vilified and presumed guilty, as his country turned against him."[2]
In 2010, Hatfill was an independent researcher and an adjunct assistant professor of emergency medicine at the George Washington University Medical Center.[8] He has criticized the response of health authorities to the Ebola virus epidemic in West Africa and suggested that it is possible that Ebola could be transmitted by aerosol, a position which other experts have critiqued.[9][10]
Early life and education [ edit ]
Hatfill was born in Saint Louis, Missouri, and graduated from Mattoon Senior High School, Mattoon, Illinois (1971), and Southwestern College in Winfield, Kansas (1975), where he studied biology.
Hatfill was enlisted as a private in the U.S. Army from 1975 to 1977.[11] (In 1999, he would tell a journalist during an interview that he had been a "captain in the U.S. Special Forces", but in a subsequent investigation the Army stated that he had never served with the Special Forces.[12]) Following his Army discharge, Hatfill qualified and worked as a medical laboratory technician, but soon resolved to become a doctor.
Hatfill then settled in Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) entering the Godfrey Huggins Medical School[13] at the University of Rhodesia in Salisbury (now Harare) in 1978. (His claimed military associations during this period included assistance as a medic with the Selous Scouts and membership in the Rhodesian SAS, but according to one journalist[14] the regimental association of the latter is "adamant Hatfill never belonged to the unit".) He graduated (after failing in 1983) with a M ChB degree in 1984 and then completed a one-year internship (1984–85) at a small rural hospital in South Africa's North West Province. The South African government recruited him to be medical officer on a 14 month (1986–88) tour of duty in Antarctica with the South African National Antarctic Expedition (SANAE). He then completed (1988) a master's degree in microbiology at the University of Cape Town. He worked toward a second master's (1990; medical biochemistry and radiation biology) at the University of Stellenbosch, while working again as a paid med tech in the University's clinical hematology lab. A 3-year hematological pathology residency (1991–93) at Stellenbosch followed, during which time Hatfill conducted research on the treatment of leukemia with thalidomide.[14] This research, toward an anticipated PhD degree, was conducted (1992–95) under the supervision of Professor Ralph Kirby at Rhodes University.
Hatfill submitted his PhD thesis for examination to Rhodes in January 1995, but it was failed in November and no degree was ever granted.[14] Hatfill later claimed a Ph.D. degree in "molecular cell biology" from Rhodes, as well as completion of a post-doctoral fellowship (1994–95) at the University of Oxford in England and three master's degrees (in microbial genetics, medical biochemistry, and experimental pathology). Some of these credentials have been questioned. During a later investigation, officials at Rhodes insisted that he had never been awarded a Ph.D. from their institution.[15] (In 2007, Hatfill's lawyer Tom Connolly[16] – in his lawsuit against former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft and the FBI – admitted that his client had "Puffed on his resume. Absolutely. Forged a diploma. Yes, that's true."[17])
Back in the U.S., another of Hatfill's post-doctoral appointments commenced at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD), one of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in Bethesda, Maryland, in 1995. He subsequently worked (1997–99) as a civilian researcher at the United States Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID), the U.S. Department of Defense's medical research institute for biological warfare (BW) defense at Fort Detrick, Frederick, MD. There he studied, under a National Research Council fellowship, new drug treatments for the Ebola virus and became a specialist in virology and BW defense.
Anthrax attacks [ edit ]
In January 1999 Hatfill transferred to a "consulting job" at Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC), which has a "sprawling campus" in nearby McLean, Virginia. The corporation did work for a multitude of federal agencies. Many projects were classified.
By this time there had been a number of hoax anthrax mailings in the United States. Hatfill and his collaborator, SAIC vice president Joseph Soukup, commissioned William C. Patrick, retired head of the old US bioweapons program (who had also been a mentor of Hatfill) to write a report on the possibilities of terrorist anthrax mailing attacks. Barbara Hatch Rosenberg (director of the Federation of American Scientists' biochem weapons working group in 2002) said that the report was commissioned "under a CIA contract to SAIC". However, SAIC said Hatfill and Soukup commissioned it internally – there was no outside client.
The resulting report, dated February 1999, was subsequently seen by some as a "blueprint" for the 2001 anthrax attacks. Amongst other things, it suggested the maximum amount of anthrax powder – 2.5 grams – that could be put in an envelope without making a suspicious bulge. The quantity in the envelope sent to Senator Patrick Leahy in October 2001 was .871 grams.[18] After the attacks, the report drew the attention of the media and others, and led to their investigation of Patrick and Hatfill.[19]
Assertions by Rosenberg [ edit ]
In October 2001, as soon as it became known that the Ames strain of anthrax had been used in the attacks, Dr. Barbara Hatch Rosenberg and others began suggesting that the attack might be the work of a "rogue CIA agent", and they provided the name of the "most likely" person to the FBI. On November 21, 2001, Rosenberg made similar statements to the Biological and Toxic Weapons convention in Geneva.[20] In December 2001, she published "A Compilation of Evidence and Comments on the Source of the Mailed Anthrax" via the web site of the Federation of American Scientists (FAS) suggesting the attacks were "perpetrated with the unwitting assistance of a sophisticated government program".[21]
Rosenberg discussed the case with reporters from the New York Times.[22] On January 4, 2002, Nicholas Kristof of the New York Times published a column titled "Profile of a Killer"[23] stating "I think I know who sent out the anthrax last fall." For months, Rosenberg gave speeches and stated her beliefs to many reporters from around the world. She posted "Analysis of the Anthrax Attacks" to the FAS web site on January 17, 2002. On February 5, 2002 she published an article called "Is the FBI Dragging Its Feet?"[24] At the time, the FBI denied reports that investigators had identified a chief suspect, saying "There is no prime suspect in this case at this time."[25] The Washington Post reported that "FBI officials over the last week have flatly discounted Dr. Rosenberg's claims."[26]
On June 13, 2002, Rosenberg posted "The Anthrax Case: What the FBI Knows" to the FAS site. On June 18, 2002, Rosenberg presented her theories to senate staffers working for Senators Daschle and Leahy.[27] One week later, on June 25, the FBI publicly searched Hatfill's apartment, turning him into a household name. "The FBI also pointed out that Hatfill had agreed to the search and is not considered a suspect."[28] Both The American Prospect and Salon.com reported that "Hatfill is not a suspect in the anthrax case, the FBI says."[29] On August 3, 2002, Rosenberg told the media that the FBI asked her if "a team of government scientists could be trying to frame Steven J. Hatfill."[30]
Person of interest [ edit ]
In August 2002, Attorney General John Ashcroft labeled Hatfill a "person of interest" in a press conference, although no charges were brought against him. Hatfill, a virologist, vehemently denied he had anything to do with the anthrax (bacteria) mailings and sued the FBI, the Justice Department, John Ashcroft, Alberto Gonzales, and others for violating his constitutional rights and for violating the Privacy Act. On June 27, 2008, the Department of Justice announced it would settle Hatfill's case for $5.8 million.[31]
Hatfill later went to work at Pennington Biomedical Research Center in Baton Rouge, LA. In September 2001 SAIC was commissioned by the Pentagon to create a replica of a mobile WMD "laboratory", alleged to have been used by Saddam Hussein, who was President of Iraq at the time. The Pentagon claimed the trailer was to be used as a training aid for teams seeking weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.[32]
His lawyer, Victor M. Glasberg, stated: "Steve's life has been devastated by a drumbeat of innuendo, implication and speculation. We have a frightening public attack on an individual who, guilty or not, should not be exposed to this type of public opprobrium based on speculation."[33]
In an embarrassing incident, FBI agents trailing Hatfill in a motor vehicle ran over his foot when he attempted to approach them in May 2003. Police responding to the incident did not cite the driver, but issued Hatfill a citation for "walking to create a hazard".[34] He and his attorneys fought the ticket, but a hearing officer upheld the ticket and ordered Hatfill to pay the requisite $5 fine.[35]
FBI Director Robert S. Mueller III changed leadership of the investigation in late 2006, and at that time another suspect, USAMRIID bacteriologist Bruce Ivins, became the main focus of the investigation.[36] Considerable questions have been raised, however, about the credibility of the case against Ivins as well.[37]
60 Minutes interview [ edit ]
Hatfill's lawyer, Tom Connolly, was featured in a CBS News 60 Minutes interview about the anthrax incidents on March 11, 2007.[17] In the interview Connolly revealed that Hatfill forged a Ph.D. degree certificate: "It is true. It is true that he has puffed on his resume. Absolutely. Forged a diploma. Yes, that's true." He went on to state, "Listen, if puffing on your resume made you the anthrax killer, then half this town should be suspect."
The New York Times stated in their paper that Hatfill had obtained an anti-anthrax medicine (ciprofloxacin) immediately prior to the anthrax mailings. Connolly explained, "Before the attacks he had surgery. So yes, he's on Cipro. But the fuller truth is in fact he was on Cipro because a doctor gave it to him after sinus surgery." Hatfill had previously said the antibiotic was for a lingering sinus infection.[38] The omission in the Times' article, of the reason why he had been taking Cipro, is one reason Hatfill sued the newspaper. The newspaper won a summary judgment ruling in early 2007, squelching the libel suit that had been filed by Steven Hatfill against it and columnist Nicholas Kristof.[39]
Lawsuits [ edit ]
Hatfill v. John Ashcroft, et al. [ edit ]
On August 26, 2003, Hatfill filed a lawsuit[40] against the Attorney General of the United States John Ashcroft, the United States Department of Justice, DOJ employees Timothy Beres and Daryl Darnell, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI Supervisory Special Agent Van Harp and an unknown number of FBI agents.[41]
On March 30, 2007, US District Judge Reggie Walton issued an order warning Hatfill that he could lose his civil lawsuit over the leaks if he did not compel journalists to name their sources. He gave Hatfill until April 16 to decide whether to press the journalists to give up their sources.[42]
On April 16, Hatfill gave notice that he would "proceed with discovery to attempt to obtain the identity of the alleged source or sources at the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation who allegedly provided information to news reporters concerning the criminal investigation of Dr. Hatfill."
On April 27, 2007, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, federal prosecutors[clarification needed] wrote that Steven Hatfill had overstepped court orders allowing him to compel testimony from reporters whom he had already questioned and had instead "served a new round of subpoenas" on organizations "that he failed to question during the discovery period."[43]
During the first round of depositions, Hatfill subpoenaed six reporters: Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman of Newsweek, Brian Ross of ABC, Allan Lengel of The Washington Post, Jim Stewart of CBS, and Toni Locy of USA Today.
Hatfill now has subpoenaed eight news organizations, including three that he didn't name before: The New York Times (Nicolas Kristof, David Johnson, William Broad, Kate Zernike, Judith Miller, Scott Shane, and Frank D. Roylance), The Baltimore Sun (Gretchen Parker and Curt Anderson), and the Associated Press. Subpoenas for Washington Post writers Marilyn W. Thompson, David Snyder, Guy Gugliotta, Tom Jackman, Dan Eggen and Carol D. Loenning, and for Mark Miller of Newsweek, are now included.
The Justice Department responded to Hatfill's subpoenas, saying that they went too far. "The court should reject this attempt to expand discovery," prosecutors wrote.[44] In a status conference on Friday 11 January 2008, U.S. District Judge Reggie B. Walton ordered the attorneys for the government and for Hatfill to seek mediation over the next two months. According to the Scheduling Order, the parties will be in mediation from January 14 until May 14, 2008. The prospects of a mediated settlement notwithstanding, Walton said he expected that a trial on the lawsuit could begin in December. Afterward, Hatfill's attorney Mark A. Grannis said: "The court has set a schedule for bringing this case to trial this year, and we're very pleased at the prospect that Dr. Hatfill will finally have his day in court."[45]
On March 7, 2008, Toni Locy of USA Today was ordered to personally pay contempt of court fines of up to $5,000 a day which begin the following Tuesday, until she identifies her sources.[46]
On June 27, 2008 Hatfill was exonerated by the government and a settlement was announced in which the Justice Department has agreed to pay $4.6 million (consisting of $2.825 million in cash and an annuity paying $150,000 a year for 20 years)[47] to settle the lawsuit in which Hatfill claimed the Justice Department violated his privacy rights by speaking with reporters about the case.[48][49]
Hatfill v. The New York Times [ edit ]
In July 2004, Hatfill filed a lawsuit against The New York Times Company and Nicholas D. Kristof.
In a sealed motion[50] on December 29, 2006, The New York Times argued that the classification restrictions imposed on the case were tantamount to an assertion of the state secrets privilege. Times attorneys cited the case law on state secrets to support their argument that the case should be dismissed. The "state secrets" doctrine, they said, "precludes a case from proceeding to trial when national security precludes a party from obtaining evidence that is... necessary to support a valid defense. Dismissal is warranted in this case because the Times has been denied access to such evidence, specifically documents and testimony concerning the work done by plaintiff [Hatfill] on classified government projects relating to bioweapons, including anthrax."[citation needed]
A redacted copy[50] of the December 29, 2006 New York Times Memorandum of Law in Support of Defendant's Motion for an Order Dismissing the Complaint Under the "State Secrets" Doctrine was obtained by Secrecy News.[51]
Attorneys for Hatfill filed a sealed response on January 12, 2007 in opposition to the motion for dismissal on state secrets grounds. A redacted copy[52] of their opposition has been made available by Secrecy News.[53]
On January 12, 2007, a judge dismissed a lawsuit filed by Hatfill against The New York Times.[54]
On January 30, 2007, Judge Hilton's order dismissing the Hatfill v. The New York Times was made public, along with a Memorandum Opinion explaining his ruling. Kenneth A. Richieri, Vice President and General Counsel of The New York Times described what he called a "very satisfying win" at the beginning of 2007 in the Eastern District of Virginia. The newspaper won a summary judgment ruling squelching a libel suit that had been filed by anthrax poisoning "person of interest" Steven Hatfill against it and columnist Nicholas Kristof.[39]
The US Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit reversed the trial court, ruling that a jury should decide that issue. In March 2008, the Supreme Court refused to grant certiorari in the case, effectively leaving the appeals court decision in place.
The case was dismissed in a Summary Judgment on January 12, 2007. The appeals were heard on March 21, 2008, and the dismissal was upheld by the appeals court on July 14, 2008. The case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court and was rejected by the Supreme Court on Dec. 15, 2008.[55] The basis for the dismissal was that Dr. Hatfill was a "public figure", and he had not proved malice on the part of The New York Times.
Hatfill v. Foster [ edit ]
Donald Foster, an expert in forensic linguistics, advised the FBI during the investigation of the anthrax attacks. He later wrote an article for Vanity Fair about his investigation of Hatfill. In the October 2003 article Foster described how he had tried to match up Hatfill's travels with the postmarks on the anthrax letters, and analyzed old interviews and an unpublished novel by Hatfill about a bioterror attack on the United States. Foster wrote that "When I lined up Hatfill's known movements with the postmark locations of reported biothreats, those hoax anthrax attacks appeared to trail him like a vapor cloud".[56]
Hatfill subsequently sued Donald Foster, Condé Nast Publications, Vassar College, and The Reader's Digest Association. The suit sought $10 million in damages, claiming defamation.[57] The Reader's Digest published a condensed version of the article in December 2003.
The lawyers delayed bringing the Hatfill v. Foster lawsuit to court because "the parties are close to finalizing the settlement".
On February 27, 2007, The New York Sun reported that he settled without a trial.[58]

Christmas Gift Ideas for Grown Ups! – Elaine Loves Home About Hire Me Mom Life Life+Adventure Eats+Drinks Travel+Events Beauty+Fashion Elaine Loves December 13, 2015 December 14, 2015 Christmas Gift Ideas for Grown Ups! by Elaine At this time of year everyone is scrambling trying to find the perfect gift for the people in their lives. In my family, we only shop for the the kiddies now but every so often I’ll stumble upon an item that I think would make the PERFECT gift for one of the adults! In case you’re still busy looking I’m putting together a list of gift ideas for all the grown-ups! Gift Ideas For Grown Ups! The Tech Lover Now, I’m not going to pretend to be the most up to date with the latest tech trends, but I do know that almost every tech lover (and really, just about everyone on your list) needs a compact set of ear buds. Happy Plugs Happy Plugs earbuds are not only very functional but look very cool too. They come in all sorts of colours (I have them in rose gold) and I actually keep the plastic box it comes in so they can be stored neatly in my purse. If you’re really looking to splurge for that tech lover on your list then I’d highly suggest the phone I use now – the LG G4. The camera on this phone is AMAZING! Read more about my thoughts on the phone if you’re having trouble deciding between brands. The Photography Lover While splurging on a new camera as a gift may not be in the cards, perhaps you know someone that just received a new camera and is looking to brush up on their photography skills. How about purchasing some classes from GTA Photography Classes? I’ve taken a total of 4 photography classes with this company and would highly recommend them. You can read more about my experience in this post. While I still need a lot of practice (practice makes perfect!) I’m looking forward to taking more classes this year…perhaps night photography when it gets a little warmer out! The Food Lover I think subscription boxes for food are a brilliant idea. It’s a great way to test out brands (usually local) that you can’t get in your regular grocery store; and if you’re someone that likes to experiment in the kitchen, you can usually get great ideas from these boxes! There’s also something out there for everyone including vegan boxes and wine subscriptions! Food Pages Sweets Box Foodie Pages offers many varieties of boxes for every budget. You can even customize the perfect gift box to send out to your loved one, making it extra special and thoughtful! Another great food subscription box for granola lovers is Oatbox. I tested these handcrafted-in-Montreal goodies and they’re the perfect start to the morning. The Jewelry Lover Ahhh what girl doesn’t love jewelry? I think a small and trendy necklace or bracelet is the perfect gift for your girlfriends! I always make at least one purchase every year for Christmas gifts from Toronto based accessories company Shop For Jayu. Most of the pieces are under $60 and there are options for everyone; from statement necklaces to dainty pieces too! Another great jewelry piece that I recently gifted was the Hair Band Bracelet from Maria Shireen’s Bittersweet line. Hair Band Bracelet The bracelet itself comes in many different finishes (gold, silver rose gold etc), but see that black band detail? That’s a HAIR ELASTIC!! If you’re like me you probably always have a hair elastic on hand for those hair emergencies; the elastics always end up either lost or on my wrist. This is SUCH a stylish way to always be prepared! The Homebody Do you know someone that absolutely LOVES to be at home? (I’m raising my hand here…!). If you do, then these cozy “reading socks” from Indigo will be much appreciated! Indigo Reading Socks Of course, besides catching up on TV shows, movies and reading, what else would you do with cozy reading socks on? The latest trend in books are Adult Colouring Books. Have you heard of them? Color Me Calm – Adult Colouring Book Apparently these are very relaxing to do and mimics meditation! I haven’t personally tried one yet but many of my friends swear by them! I also have a TON of great beauty gift ideas for The Beauty Lover on Toronto Beauty Reviews. I hope I’ve helped you with some of your Christmas shopping lists, especially with gift ideas for the grown ups in your life 😉 What gifts will you be getting your loved ones this year?

Previous / Horner disagrees with way Wolff "roasts" own F1 team Next / Binotto "expected something better" from Ferrari in Baku GP Formula 1 Nostalgia When a Hamilton mishap handed Kubica F1 victory in Canada On this day in 2008, Robert Kubica scored a memorable first Formula 1 victory for himself and his BMW Sauber team at the Canadian Grand Prix – but it proved to be a false dawn. By: Adam Cooper Jun 8, 2021, 10:00 AM In an alternative universe somewhere Robert Kubica and BMW Sauber won the 2008 world championship, picking up the pieces with canny consistent scoring as both McLaren and Ferrari dropped the ball. It seems a little far-fetched now, but for a few weeks in the middle of that season it seemed possible. Victory in Canada put the Polish driver into the world championship lead, and for a few races thereafter he was still very much in the mix as none of his rivals could put a run of results together. Alas a run of misfortune and a misguided choice by the team management to focus on 2009 and not to keep up the development pace meant that he gradually faded from view. PLUS: How BMW-Sauber blew its chance of title glory No one could have predicted on that Sunday evening in Montreal that neither Kubica nor BMW would ever win another race. Indeed, by the end of 2009 the Munich manufacturer was gone from F1. Amid concerns about the track breaking up Lewis Hamilton was quickest for most of qualifying, before he was demoted to second by Kubica right at the end. However the McLaren ace was on a quick lap of his own, and he regained pole at the very last second. Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen and Renault’s Fernando Alonso were next up. Repair work continued on the track until the very last minute, and in the end the surface was not a major issue once the race got underway. The real concern was the prospect of an inevitable safety car interlude, and just how one might shake things up. Against expectations it was an unusually clean first lap. Hamilton charged away at the start, and he had opened up an advantage of nearly seven seconds by lap 17 on Kubica, Raikkonen and the Williams of Nico Rosberg. At that stage a safety car was sent out to allow the retrieval of Adrian Sutil's Force India, which had stopped with a gearbox problem. All Hamilton's good work was thus undone as the rest of the field closed up. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren MP4/23 leads at the start of the race Photo by: Sutton Images The timing was just about right for those who had qualified light, and once the field had been bunched up and the pitlane opened, the frontrunners all charged into the pitlane. McLaren gave Hamilton a little a relatively high fuel load, and the extra time at rest combined with the team's position in the middle of the pitlane meant that when he pulled out of his pitbox Kubica and Raikkonen had both beaten him away. The pair indulged in a drag race down to the end of the pitlane, where a red light caused them to stop side by side. The nature of the first two turns in Montreal means that the light stays on longer than at other tracks, to prevent those making stops from charging straight out and barging into the queue. Juan Pablo Montoya did just that in 2005 and was black-flagged, and Felipe Massa and Giancarlo Fisichella had both made the same mistake in 2007. And yet despite the notoriety of the Montreal lights Hamilton, perhaps distracted by the fact that he'd lost two places, failed to stop in time. At the last second he swerved to the left and ran hard into the back of Raikkonen, taking off the Ferrari's rear wing and breaking his own front suspension. Rosberg made the same error, and ran into the McLaren. The German was able to continue with a broken nose unit, but Hamilton and Raikkonen were out on the spot. When the green light came on Kubica calmly drove out onto the track – the race was now his to lose. McLaren folk did their best to defend their chastened driver, but there was no question that they were extremely frustrated with him. By way of defence the team admitted that a radio reminder about the red light perhaps came a little too late. Nevertheless, the onus is always on the driver to have his wits about him. "I think Lewis knew the game, and knew the situation," said Martin Whitmarsh. "In fairness I can see how, in the adrenaline of the moment, he saw the two cars stopped, and thought is there a way I can pull alongside and out jump them? "There was a moment of distraction there, and he didn't quite get it right, as indeed did Nico a second later. He saw the light, he was told about it, but I think he was conjuring a number of things in his mind at the time, and made a miscalculation...." Lewis Hamilton, McLaren MP4-23, leads Robert Kubica, BMW Sauber F1.08, Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari F2008, Nico Rosberg, Williams FW30, and Fernando Alonso, Renault R28 Photo by: Andrew Ferraro / Motorsport Images Hamilton and Rosberg both received 10-place grid penalties for the following race in France. Meanwhile many of the drivers had stayed out because they were running long and planned to stop only once. The new leader was Kubica's BMW team-mate Nick Heidfeld, who had a relatively high fuel load. He had the option to stop once or twice, thanks to the safety car stretching things out a bit. The leader of those who had already stopped was Kubica, way back in 10th, with Alonso just behind him. Heidfeld had a clear track and was over 13s clear of the Honda of Rubens Barrichello when he finally came in on lap 29. The BMW team made the choice to split strategies and fuel him to the end. He emerged just in front of Kubica. With a heavy load and the less favoured tyres, he made no attempt to keep his team-mate behind, allowing the lighter and faster car through. We now had a fascinating race in prospect between the two BMWs – Kubica in "sprint" spec with one stop still to make, and Heidfeld running to the flag in less than ideal circumstances. Gradually all the one-stoppers came in, and it made for a succession of unexpected leaders – first Barrichello, and then Red Bull's David Coulthard, and finally the Toyotas of Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock. When Glock stopped Kubica eased into the lead, and it was now all about how much of a gap he could pull on his team-mate. When he came in for his second stop on lap 49 he had done just enough to stay in front. "The last car went into the pits, I think it was Glock," said Kubica. "And then I had eight laps to make 16 or 17-second margin to come back after my pitstop in front of Nick. "That was my seven laps of qualifying. I never struggled so much, and I was pushing very hard as I knew I had to make around a 21-second gap. And I managed to do 24, so it was a great race." Robert Kubica, BMW Sauber F1.08 Photo by: Charles Coates / Motorsport Images Thereafter it was a demonstration run to the flag for the two BMW men, with surprise third-place driver Coulthard only a distant threat. "It is fantastic to win my first race for BMW Sauber which I joined from the beginning," said the happy winner. "We have grown up together and thanks to the team for providing a good car and we managed to do a first and second. Maybe the pace is still not the best, but at this race we were right there. "The first stint I couldn't match Lewis' pace as we had some pressure problems, but afterwards we changed the pressure, and the car felt very good." It was a wonderful day for those Sauber veterans who had been onboard since 1993. Among those with the biggest smiles was team manager Beat Zehnder, whose career with the team went way back to the Mercedes Group C days, when he was a mechanic. He's still at Alfa Romeo as sporting director today, and he remains a close friend of current driver Kimi Raikkonen. For once on that day in Canada he didn't mind that his Finnish pal had endured a bit of misfortune. "I'm speechless, I don't know what to say," he said. "I'm overwhelmed. It's been 15 and a half years in F1, 260 races, so it's a very bad average. It's only chief mechanic Urs Kuratle and me who did all the races in F1. "Two or three times we've been very close, with Jean Alesi, with Heinz-Harald Frentzen, with Johnny Herbert, and now it happened. I think we deserved this win, and not only in terms of the length that we were in F1. "In a way I wish we could have won a race with Peter Sauber, because obviously he made the road to what we have now, to what we are now, and I'm pretty sure he would love to be here. "But he's an ambassador of the European soccer championships, so he had to be at the opening game!" In the post-race excitement it was easy to overlook the fact that Heidfeld had brought the other car home in a strong second place. Lewis Hamilton, McLaren Mercedes MP4/23 and Kimi Raikkonen, Ferrari F2008 crash at the end of the pit lane Photo by: Sutton Images Under pressure thanks to a struggles in qualifying, the German faced the difficult task of running to the flag with a heavy fuel load after pitting on lap 29. It was the extra laps clawed back under the safety car that got him into a window that allowed a one-stop run. "This was not planned," BMW technical director Willy Rampf said. "We changed the strategy and we were discussing it until the last lap, before he came in. "Should we change it or not? One thing was we had to fill the car, and we had to run with soft tyres, and there's not a lot of margin on the brakes. So it was a huge risk, but it paid out. "He was doing a good pace, but this is also the strong side of Nick, that he can manage this situation, because this was not planned. He handled a very heavy car, with the very soft tyres, and with the brakes being on the limit all the time, so he did a very intelligent race." It was an intriguing afternoon, and the result was a refreshing one. But without the pit accident, the unrealised prospect of Hamilton, Raikkonen and Kubica sitting side by side at the end of the pitlane, waiting for the green light, was a tantalising one. And after that it would have been a real fight to the flag. So really Canada 2008 was a case of the race we didn't see. "What would have been great TV would have been the three of them dragging off the line," said one McLaren insider. "I think Lewis would have lined up alongside them, and you can overtake all the way to the safety car line. "It would have got very interesting, because the track isn't wide enough for three cars, and somebody would have had to give way, or all of them shunted! "And after that there would have been a high risk of one of the cars being pushed over the white line..."

Kang Seungyoon will hold his solo concert ‘YG PALM STAGE-2021 YOON: PASSAGE’ both online and offline at the Olympic Hall in Bangi-dong, Seoul on November 21st. As it is a concert that culminates 10 years of his music journey, it is an occasion with a special meaning. On the 18th, through a VCR making video, Kang Seungyoon said, “The concept of this VCR shooting is the emptiness or despair one can feel in their daily lives. And I tried expressing the emotions of trying to overcome those through nature to find a sense of freedom.” He continued, “I prepared a lot of powerful and new stages,” he said. “Just trust and follow your ‘captain’!” Q. It’s your first solo concert since your debut. I bet it feels different. KSY. It’s exciting and fascinating. Although I’ve performed on countless stages, during this time, it’s a concert with just my name. It’s “Kang Seungyoon”’s concert. It made me think about the music life I’ve walked so far. I wanted to praise myself, “You worked hard to come this far!” (laughs) I will take everything out and show you guys a performance beyond your imaginations. Q. I think the audience must be excited to be able to meet you after so long. The offline tickets were sold out in just about one minute. KSY. I think artists can’t survive just on their own. I’m a person who believes music is completed when people listen to it, so I’m happy every time I can feel the breath of my fans. I think a lot of people are really looking forward to it, not just me. It’s not an easy situation, so we become more desperate to see each other, and will jump at the chance to meet. We’re gonna run and play properly, of course, while sticking closely to the quarantine rules in place. (laughs) I hope you applaud passionately in place of cheering. Q. It must be a totally new experience to meet the global fans through online streaming. KSY. We’re all sharing the same time. We’ve made every effort to make sure the people who are watching online feel like they’re 100% at the concert venue. I put in a lot of effort with the live band sound. There’s also the multi view function. I think it’ll be fun and fresh to use different devices to enjoy the stage. Q. How was the process of preparing? KSY. Continuous heart fluttering and excitement? It’s my first solo concert so I have a lot of affection for it. I participated in everything – concept, production, props, song arrangement. I didn’t realise I was so excited that I gave a lot of my opinions at every meeting we had. It was a busy time but it wasn’t hard at all. When I practice with the band I get so immersed it’s almost like there’s an audience in front of me. Q. Is there a difference between WINNER’s concert and solo Kang Seungyoon’s concert? KSY. They’re not distinguishable. I’m at every moment, WINNER’s Kang Seungyoon. I think when it comes to my solo music the message I try to convey is a bit darker but I’ll be grateful if you look upon that as the expanded world of Kang Seungyoon. Also how I’ll lead (the concert) for 2 hours without the members. I used all my energy to prepare a variety of genres and a stage without gaps. Q. If you had to pick a point you paid special attention to? KSY. I focused on the music I’ve done during all this time. I’ve prepared songs that people will be glad to hear (again?) and also songs that you can only see at a concert. There’s also a different kind of fun because all the songs have been arranged with a live band. I felt this during rehearsals, but the sound goes really well with my vocals. (laughs) If I had to point out one song in particular, it would be from my first full album ‘PAGE’. It tells the story of how ICs complete my identity and the story of the past 10 years. I’ll hope you’ll be able to feel my sincerity in that moment. Q. You have Song Minho as a guest at your concert. I think it’ll be a big present for fans who are waiting for WINNER to be on stage. KSY. Even though we’re having our own solo concerts, aren’t we still WINNER in the end? I wanted to give the fans another present. There wasn’t even a discussion. It was just something we would of course agree to do. It’s the maknae line that has gotten together after a long time. There’s also another really special guest. It’s someone who has a very special relationship with me. I’m really looking forward to their performance as well as the musical synergy we will show together. Q. If you had to describe this concert with one phrase. KSY. Just like the concert name – ‘PASSAGE’. It’a new paragraph (passage) in my life, as well as a passage that links the audience to the music that artist Kang Seungyoon will unfold. From songs that you’ll fall deep into the emotions of, to songs that you can run and have fun to, we’ve prepared all sorts of intense stages so i hope you can enjoy them all. Q. Lastly, a word to the fans. KSY. I’ve finally come to find you all through a solo concert. I’m so excited every day and I can’t wait to meet you all. Even though there are many restrictions, I think we’ll still be able to share a deep connection. Just trust and follow your ‘captain’!

Malaysia,Asia listed media companies Astro Looks To New Strategies New investments in content, distribution and technology. 16 September, 2016 Astro, Malaysia’s leading media company, is using its power as a major marketing platform across TV, radio and digital to drive growth in a weak macro environment. Gains from home shopping and advertising should partially offset softness across a vital pay-TV subscription business, which contributed ~77% to turnover in Astro’s latest quarter (ending August, 2016). Astro’s pay-TV subscription sales have been basically flat over the past six quarters. The media company lost 57,000 subs for the year through end-August. Furthermore, Ebitda contracted in Astro’s latest quarter, hurt by escalating content costs on the back of sports investments. At the same time, home shopping and ad sales growth could give Astro more time to re-energize its pay-TV business. The company is experimenting with new packaging and tiers (see below), while also investing in a new cycle of premium Asian content through various partnerships. These will take in Korea, China and Southeast Asia, in addition to a continued focus on domestic content. A series of announcements are expected over the next nine months, most of which should have a positive impact longer-term. At its core, Astro has emerged as a consumer and content business. Nonetheless, as the company moves more aggressively on mobile distribution inside Malaysia and across Southeast Asia, recalibrating its tech strategy while scaling investment in next-generation set-tops will also be critical. Pay-TV strategy Astro ended August, midway through its financial year, with ~3.5 million pay-TV subs and ~1.5 million subs for its freeview-type product, Njoi. OD, Astro's on-demand platform, has been installed into 395,000 connected boxes. Meanwhile, downloads for Astro on the Go, its multiscreen service, grew 66% to 2.6 million on the back of Euro football championships. The company says its major churn is from low-Arpu packages, largely due to weak consumer purchasing power. An RM8 (US$2.1) price increase for its sports pack also impacted subscriber growth. At the same time, the company is working on new a-la-carte packs, in response to shifts in consumer behavior. A new horror pack is scheduled to launch in October, followed by a sports-lite pack and others. Astro is also planning prepaid pay-per-view services (movies and entertainment box sets) for subs below a RM60 monthly Arpu, to retain customers and increase transactional revenue. In addition, Astro on the Go will be upgraded to offer better UI/UX as well as more downloadable content and premium content, including same-day telecasts. New business drivers Meanwhile, Astro’s home shopping business is on track to generate US$85 million in revenues for FYE Jan. 2017, boosted by new products and more live programming. The company plans to produce at least two live shows, on average, per day. Its two home shopping channels, in Malay and Chinese, had just under 250,000 customers in the most recent quarter. These channels will be joined by an Indian-language offering. Astro’s home shopping business should break even by end-FYE Jan. 2017, although Ebitda margins will be under 10%. In terms of advertising growth, Astro outperformed the local market, capitalizing on strong consumption across its TV and radio businesses. In its latest quarter, Astro’s TV and radio ad revenues grew year-on-year by 10% and 11% respectively. At the end of August, the company had a 37% share of TV advertising and a 73% share of radio advertising. Astro is also set to spend US$10 million to acquire Capital FM from Star Media, a move which should boost its radio audience by 400,000 listeners.

It is among the Township's earliest housing developments, including 320 homes built on a 131-acre site in the late 1960s. It was formerly a census-designated place (CDP), but that designation was removed as of TIGER 2013 after Cranberry Township officials pointed out that users of Internet mapping websites had misinterpreted the CDP as the name of its parent municipality. Geography Fox Run is located at 40°42′11″N 80°5′2″W / 40.70306°N 80.08389°W / 40.70306; -80.08389 (40.703170, -80.083778).

The average household size was 3.01 and the average family size was 3.27. In the CDP the population was spread out, with 31.1% under the age of 18, 6.0% from 18 to 24, 35.5% from 25 to 44, 22.9% from 45 to 64, and 4.5% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 34 years. For every 100 females, there were 100.4 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 96.4 males.

Ayrton Senna's Lotus making Adelaide return 30 years after first grand prix in 1985
Updated
The Formula One car Brazilian champion Ayrton Senna raced on Adelaide's street circuit 30 years ago is making a return to South Australia.
There will be 11 Formula One cars in town this weekend for a motor sport festival, which will include racing on the Victoria Park section of the original Adelaide race circuit.
"Two Formula One cars have been shipped to Adelaide from Switzerland, including Ayrton Senna's JPS Lotus, for this celebration and both cars raced on the Adelaide track in 1985 and 1987 respectively," SA Minister Martin Hamilton-Smith said.
The cars include Senna's 1985 JPS Lotus 97T, which he drove to pole position on the Adelaide circuit 30 years ago in the city's first Formula One race.
It also includes his Camel Lotus 99T, which he drove to cross the line in second place in 1987 before being controversially disqualified.
"It is fantastic that a further nine Formula One cars will be involved in the festival over the weekend, all of which have raced on the Adelaide track," Mr Hamilton-Smith said.
The motor sport event will include a return of the Classic Adelaide Rally after a six-year hiatus.
From Friday about 160 cars will tackle a 16-stage course through the Adelaide Hills, the Fleurieu Peninsula and into the city.
Sporting Car Club of SA president Peter Whelan said the race would include similar stages to previous events.
"You sort of take all the safety precautions you can but you have to acknowledge motorsport has an element of danger, so you do everything you can," he said.
"We have to meet stringent safety requirements and we meet those and trust that everything will go well."
Organisers said there would be almost 1,000 vehicles competing or on display at the festival, which was now in its second year.
Sporting Car Club president Peter Whelan said the weekend festival would pay tribute to the Adelaide era of Formula One and this year highlight, the 30-year anniversary of F1 racing coming to Adelaide.
Senna visited Australia nine times during his racing career. He died more than two decades ago while racing in San Marino, aged just 34.
He won the Adelaide Grand Prix twice and had a total of 41 Grand Prix victories during his career.

As retro game prices continue to rise and old games become lost to time, emulation is an increasingly popular option for players looking to sample the classics. And yet, while their use is legal if a little murky, emulators are generally frowned upon by video game publishers, and remain the preserve of hobbyists. But what if you could go into your local game store and purchase an emulator commercially that allowed you to play games from rival formats on your PC or console? In the late 1990s, that actually happened, when a west coast tech startup named bleem! tried to take on a gaming giant.
The death of Connectix To understand the impact bleem! made, we have to turn back further to a company called Connectix, a large player in the Apple world in the 1990s that had achieved success with its Virtual PC product in 1997, a virtualiser designed to run Windows on Macintosh systems. In 1998, Connectix had approached Sony to help design its follow-up product, a PlayStation emulator for Macintosh computers called the Virtual Game Station (VGS), but Sony declined, leading Connectix to reverse-engineer the PlayStation BIOS independently of Sony's involvement. The VGS was publically announced - complete with endorsement from Steve Jobs - at the annual MacWorld expo in January 1999, and released shortly thereafter, receiving much industry attention. The VGS had barely released before incurring the wrath of Sony Computer Entertainment however, who sued Connectix for a number of perceived copyright and trademark infringements just three weeks after the MacWorld announcement. Sony was initially granted a preliminary injunction against Connectix by the Ninth District Court in April 1999 that prevented sale of the VGS due to its use of the PlayStation BIOS as part of the company's reverse engineering process. Connectix fought against this, and in February 2000, the Court of Appeals reversed the original ruling, lifting the injunction after deciding Connectix's use of Sony's BIOS was protected under fair use, a decision that lay significant groundwork for the protected status of emulation in the US legal system. In addition to reversing the injunction, the Court of Appeals also reversed the District Court's trademark ruling, which had claimed Connectix tarnished the PlayStation brand by releasing what Sony considered an inferior product. On May 16, 2000, the San Francisco District Court also threw out seven of Sony's nine copyright and trademark claims against Connectix. It started to seem like the company was increasingly in the clear; the only two allegations left for Connectix to defend against were claims of unfair competition and trade secrets violation. In addition, Sony also sued for patent violations, which imposed harsher rules regarding IP use than copyright laws. These issues were due to be addressed in court by March 2001, but just before this could occur, Sony and Connectix came to an agreement and the VGS was folded into Sony Computer Entertainment. Sony, realising they had no effective case against Connectix for copyright and trademark violation by this point, had simply bought them out. Connectix and Sony presented the agreement as a 'joint technology venture' to the press, and Connectix head Roy McDonald expressed excitement at the potential for future collaboration. Following the agreement he stated that Connectix "would gain access to technical resources at Sony that we've never had before [and gain] new cash resources that will enable us to fund new projects." Despite this enthusiasm, McDonald's hopes would not come to fruition-SCE never went ahead with any plans, and Connectix eventually dissolved in August 2003.
The origin of bleem! bleem! was a company based in Los Angeles that, in a similar fashion to Connectix, became notable for its release of a commercial PlayStation emulator, leading to a series of high-profile lawsuits involving Sony Computer Entertainment. Initially, bleem! consisted of just two people; programmer Randy Linden, who had become a notable talent for his work on technically demanding game ports, including Doom for the SNES and Dragon's Lair for the Commodore 64, and David Herpolsheimer, an expert in the hardware and software marketing world who had worked with clients such as IBM, Kodak and Apple. Image courtesy of redditor Cheebahh. Linden came up with the initial concept of a PlayStation emulator for the PC, and contacted Herpolsheimer to ask if he wanted to get involved. Herpolsheimer agreed, and thus bleem! was born. The pair started working out of their homes, Linden in San Diego and Herpolsheimer in LA; no investors were involved in these early stages, but once the bones of bleem! were in place it started to go through an extensive beta period. "It was a very organic, grassroots kind of startup: Randy had an idea; and I knew I could get it to market," says Herpolsheimer. "But we were still just two guys: no funding, no staff, no advertising budget, no fancy offices with Herman Miller chairs. "If it weren't for a small group of hardcore games who volunteered to help us beta test, and literally thousands of gamers in forums and chatrooms who followed their posts and told their friends, bleem! never would have made it off the ground." bleem!'s first stab at the product, called 'bleem! for PC', was funded following a proto-crowdfunding, pre-order campaign. It first released as an online beta in March 1999, and a few months later as a retail CD-ROM release, with initial orders shipped out of Herpolsheimer's garage. Priced at $29.99 in the US (the average cost of a PlayStation by this point was around $99), bleem!'s primary selling points were that it allowed PCs to not only recognise and play PlayStation games from an extensive list of compatible titles, but also play them with improved visual fidelity. It was an impressive effort, but couldn't play every game flawlessly and included some glitches. Although initially attracted to the project due to its business opportunities, bleem! became something of a passion project for Herpolsheimer, an early advocate for digital rights in a time when the DMCA hadn't fully considered the ramifications of the internet and the concept of digital ownership. Having played his first console in 1975, he came from a gaming background of floppy discs and EPROMs - closed content, usually delivered on cartridges, each with individual patents and made by software developers more often than not tied to licensing fees. Game cartridges were effective at combating piracy, but they eliminated user choice by being tied to a single format. After all, the method of playing a VHS, cassette tape or audio CD wasn't restricted by manufacturers, so why should a video game? When a console died, the software was gone - there was no future-proofing in place, and this was something that frustrated Herpolsheimer. When the Sony PlayStation became the first CD-ROM based console to achieve mainstream success, breaking the barriers that had befallen other attempts such as the earlier Panasonic 3DO, Sega Mega-CD, and PlayStation's contemporaneous rival, the Sega Saturn (which had already failed in the US market by 1998), he saw an opportunity for preservation. To the bleem! team, the format for content delivery was of relative unimportance; it was the right to play content as the owner saw fit that they were striving toward. This was considered the central philosophy at the heart of the company. By the time bleem! was taking off the PlayStation had already amassed a huge library of games, and as such was considered a perfect starting point for the company to focus on. The timing of bleem! in the wake of the Virtual Game Station lawsuits was, according to its creators, a coincidence - they had no knowledge of Connectix's project when bleem! development started, reflected by the fact that Linden had used a different method of emulation than the VGS that did not make use of Sony BIOS or violate any other copyright. VGS was considered a 'virtual machine'; a software version of a PlayStation. bleem! differed from this in that it used a method, coined by Linden as 'dynamic recompilation', which involved writing subroutines that recognised certain types of functions on the fly, then recompiled them in a way that could be understood by the hardware of the chosen machine. This was the process that allowed for bleem! to go further than Connectix's VGS had, with support for increased resolutions, anti-aliasing and even transparency effects, such as the glow of a fireball or the smoke from car tyres. "bleem!'s higher resolutions, texture filtering, and anti-aliasing all made games feel much more realistic," says Herpolsheimer. "You were getting a taste of next-gen gameplay long before the release of the PlayStation 2." Initially, the bleem! team did not consider themselves to be stepping on Sony's toes. The Sony PlayStation released under a traditional razor and blades model, selling consoles at a list price lower than production costs and making up for hardware losses from game sales. Since Sony was making a loss on new consoles but profits from game licence fees-loss-leading being a fairly common tactic in the game console industry-its business model relied on a solid software attachment rate. bleem! felt that they could offer a cost-effective, pro-consumer method of expanding Sony's software portfolio to the PC system, thus circumventing Sony hardware losses. "We saw it as a positive for everybody," explains Herpolsheimer. "bleem! would instantly make hundreds of PlayStation games available to tens of millions of PC users. That meant that game developers could reach a vastly larger audience at zero cost, at a time when the PlayStation's lifespan was coming to an end. "Consumers who owned a PC and PlayStation could enjoy the games they already owned anywhere, with improved graphics and long after the PlayStation came to an end. PC gamers could purchase and play games they never had access to before. And Sony would receive licensing fees for each and every game sold for use on bleem!. It was win-win for everyone." As bleem! continued to take off, the team became more ambitious, continually expanding on its list of compatible games. The company purchased near enough the entire PlayStation library, from the biggest hits down to obscure Japanese and EU exclusive releases, culminating in a library of about 1000 titles being played by a full-time crew of around 20 testers. The team had high hopes for the future. A long-term goal of the project was to turn bleem! into a mastering tool in order for software developers to port titles more easily, a streamlining process that would make developers' software ubiquitous and not tied down to a particular system. As developer tools at the time were particular to each console, there was no incentive for console companies to make it easy to port content from one platform to another. bleem! envisaged a future where it could function not just as a generic application allowing PlayStation games to run on PC, but in addition act as a low-cost shell that a developer could add to an existing PlayStation game, allowing them to market their titles for the PC just like any other port. This idea was eventually abandoned due to worries over legal issues, since the compiled PlayStation game would have relied on Sony's development tools for this to work.
The lawsuits begin On April 2, 1999, shortly after bleem!'s beta launch but a few months before physical launch, bleem! got hit with a Ninth Court claim by Sony Computer Entertainment citing several copyright and trademark violations. Initially, bleem! was expected to fold given its bit-player status - it was a small company with less wherewithal than Connectix - but instead, they decided to fight back. (It is worth noting here that Sony Computer Entertainment did not respond to comment for this article. In addition, SCE chief legal officer Riley Russell, who aided during the lawsuits against bleem!, declined to be interviewed.) bleem! turned to a young and talented lawyer named Jonathan Hangartner to help represent them in court. Once the team's legal troubles with Sony started they could not afford the services of his firm anymore, but such was Hangartner's belief in bleem!'s project that he decided to start up his own independent firm in order to represent them in court of his own volition. Much to Herpolsheimer and company's chagrin, Sony had not actually investigated the technical specifications of bleem!'s emulation, and after some research the team discovered that Sony had simply sent out the Connectix complaint with some minor alterations. Sony, who had amassed ample evidence in its time fighting Connectix due to initial discussions with the company to license the VGS, had changed the name of the defendant from 'Connectix' to 'bleem!', while also adding the term 'upon information and belief' in order to cover themselves from being challenged on the veracity of its accusations. "They just thought they could knock us out," explains Herpolsheimer. "Connectix was big in the Mac world, an established company-we were just two guys working out of our homes so they thought we'd just disappear. They didn't even bother to call or research, it was just the exact same statement with the names changed." The majority of Sony's claims against bleem! were discarded by the Court, leaving just a single issue that prompted further debate. Sony claimed that bleem! had violated trademarks due to the use of PlayStation screenshots on its CD packaging to highlight the improved graphics of the games on PC, a tactic Sony claimed was a misuse of its IP. bleem! initially lost this round at the district level, with the court granting Sony a preliminary injunction, but eventually this was overturned by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The main catalyst for the court's decision to overturn bleem!'s loss in this instance was that under fair use, a competing company could in fact use screenshots to highlight the superiority of a product. Judge Charles Legge - the same judge from the Connectix case, incidentally - explained his decision in a court ruling, stating that while bleem! had used Sony's copyrighted material (i.e. the screenshots of its games) for commercial purposes, the comparative intent of the advertising "[redounded] greatly to the purchasing public's benefit with very little corresponding loss to the integrity of Sony's copyrighted material". After the retail release of bleem! for PC, Hangartner and Herpolsheimer were joined in their fight by general counsel Scott Karol, now better known as a film producer in Hollywood. He had been friends with Herpolsheimer since childhood, having grown up with him in Las Vegas, and before joining bleem!, worked as an executive vice president at the Turner network station TNT. Though Karol had never been a litigator, he and Herpolsheimer also got involved with the defence in order to stand a better chance against Sony, Hangartner making the court appearances while Karol and Herpolsheimer researched and assisted with briefs and strategy. "They couldn't get their heads around the fact that we hadn't done anything wrong," explains Karol. "If you buy a copy of a copyrighted work, shouldn't you be able to play it on anything you want to play it on, whenever you want to play it? Wasn't that the whole basis of the DMCA?" bleem! also had reason to believe Sony was attempting to derail them in the marketplace through the influence of video game retailers. With the PlayStation 2 on the horizon, and limited allocation for the new console, competition among retailers was fierce. bleem! by this point had deep market penetration in North America, Europe and Asia, and was being sold in stores such as Wal-Mart, Fry's, Best Buy, Target, Babbage's, and many more. It was believed among the bleem! team that Sony was pushing for retailers not just to not carry bleem! in order to secure their PS2 orders, but in addition, settle the emulation debate in perpetuity. In December 1999, Sony served subpoenas to 10 of bleem!'s biggest retail customers without giving sufficient notice to bleem!. Hangartner was quoted in a press release on this at the time, stating that "these subpoenas have nothing to do with potential damages; they only serve to scare bleem!'s vendors into thinking they might be Sony's next target." The information Sony was asking the retailers to supply was considered by the Court to be irrelevant to the case. "Back then, I absolutely believed Sony did that," explains Sean Kauppinen, former head of marketing and PR at bleem!. "I heard about a truck in France that was seized because some accusation was supposedly made and there was a court injunction that stopped the truck. That ruins your income stream and cash flow. I'm pretty sure bleem! was killed by Sony, but that's my opinion." Kauppinen met Herpolsheimer and Karol in Puerto Rico in 1999 at a conference designed for tech companies seeking retail and distribution in LATAM-speaking territories. He became attracted to working with the pair after seeing them demo Gran Turismo and Tekken 3 running on bleem! software, which left a strong impression. He was hired by bleem! to help with public perception in the fight against Sony. "If bleem! had survived, emulation and backwards compatibility would be a generation further ahead. It's here, but it would be more accepted if we had been able to hold out," he explains. "When you are deposed and you see your testimony later used in defining the DMCA, it probably has some effect. I know my favorite result was meeting [Napster founder] Shawn Fanning years later and talking about what happened with Napster and bleem!. We felt we were part of something defining for a generation of digital citizens."
bleem! for Dreamcast A few months after bleem!'s PC release, a notable shift in the console hardware space was marked; the US launch of the Sega Dreamcast in September 1999. While it would eventually become known as the publisher's last gasp in the console market, hype was high for the technologically advanced console, and there were murmurs of Sega making a comeback following the failure of its Saturn system (in the NA and EU markets, at least). The Dreamcast, with its 480p resolution and 3 million polygons per second performance, was significantly more powerful than the Saturn, PlayStation and N64, and marked the start of a new console generation. And it had a killer app. As Super Mario 64 was to the N64 or Super Mario World to the SNES, launch title Soul Calibur became a notable example of the Dreamcast's raw potential, bettering its arcade counterpart in every way and becoming one of the best-reviewed games of all time. Dreamcast also utilized Windows CE technology, a scaled-down counterpart to Windows NT. bleem! saw the potential immediately. So too did Sega, which was somewhat ironic given that the company had previously supported Sony in its fight against Connectix. The possibilities of creating a version of bleem! for Dreamcast did not escape the beleaguered company. First shown off at E3 in May 2000, bleem! for Dreamcast promised to deliver PlayStation games on Dreamcast that not only matched the performance of Sony's console, but by utilising Dreamcast's superior hardware, would improve on it.. The bleem! team were gifted two Dreamcast dev kits by Sega of America, who gave Linden access to, according to Karol, "more low-level information than anyone had ever seen before". Image courtesy of redditor Cheebahh. Dreamcast was the first next gen console out," explains Herpolsheimer. "It's not like we could emulate on Saturn or same-gen systems because there's an overhead. That's what made emulation on the PC and Mac possible, especially with what Connectix did, as they just had more computational power than any other processor. So when the Dreamcast came out we looked at the specs and saw how many computations it could put out compared to what we'd need for a PlayStation game. We played around with it a little bit, and thought it would be fairly easy to port to." Once they had a prototype working, members of the team, including Herpolsheimer and Karol, were flown out to Japan to meet with Sega's board of directors, including president Shoichiro Iramajiri, presumably excited at the prospect of getting one over on the upstart rival who had thoroughly bested his company in the previous console generation. The meeting went well, and Herpolsheimer and Karol were wined and dined over a lavish dinner. Sega wanted bleem! to work with them, and were interested in investing in the company. However the very next day, after the previous evening's indulgence and talk of contracts, Sega made a sudden about face, deciding that it could not agree to terms with bleem! unless they received a stamp of approval from Sony, a situation Sega knew was next to impossible given bleem!'s legal woes. Herpolsheimer and Karol left Japan disheartened by this sudden and unexpected turnaround, and not long after their return to the US, the news broke. In January 2001, after three consecutive years of losses, Sega announced that it was not only discontinuing the Dreamcast, but was leaving the hardware industry entirely to become a third-party software company, a decision that allowed them to create games for other systems such as the PS2. bleem!, down but not out, released bleem! for Dreamcast (aka bleemcast!) independently of Sega in April 2001, just over two years after the release of bleem! for PC, and three months after the announcement of the Dreamcast's cancellation.
The Redmond meetings Interest in bleem! was not limited to Sega, however. A certain American tech giant, deep into development on its then-unnamed first console, also showed an interest in the team's technology. Microsoft was interested to learn if bleem! could make PlayStation games run on its rumoured DirectX Box project. "The way I heard it was, there was something like a competition within Microsoft at the time. Bill [Gates] had pledged a billion dollars to one of three potential projects: a game console, a mobile product, or something or other that I can't recall anymore," explains Herpolsheimer. "We worked with them to integrate a custom, fast-booting version of bleem! with Windows, so that the user experience would be as seamless and console-like as possible. Each of the product groups made their presentations, and Bill was shown what was to become the Microsoft Xbox, running Gran Turismo 2 on bleem!." bleem! negotiated with Microsoft for months, and Herpolsheimer even flew out to the company's Redmond office for meetings. The meetings went far enough that Microsoft made an offer of $7.5 million for bleem!'s technology, but this fell through. Herpolsheimer and co. were hoping for a valuation more in line with the estimates given by their venture capital advisors, who had made claims of over $100 million based on the company's bottom line-this was the height of a major tech bubble, after all. In retrospect, Herpolsheimer admits he should have taken it. "We had a product people actually wanted; we were in the black despite this huge lawsuit, making money with new and protectable technology, but because Sony was on the other side, people weren't going to put their name to it," he explains. "What we didn't plan for was how we'd continue to have enough money to win, and also the fatigue factor. It just got absolutely exhausting to run a company and a lawsuit; everyone just got burned out." | positive |

Last month, Level-5's CEO Akihiro Hino said that Yo-Kai Watch 2 will be a "huge phenomenon" in the US, just as it was in Japan. Hino recently revealed more about his predictions for the game's success in an interview with USgamer. He said that the game will be successful due to its originality and attractiveness. Hino doesn't think anyone in the US could create a game likeYo-Kai Watch 2, and that makes it uniquely Japanese.
"I feel like the western developers have maybe taken our place. As a Japanese game creator, I do feel a responsibility for Japanese gaming to take that place back. "The entire game is something that no one [in the U.S.] can create. It's unique to the market, which is a big differentiation. People perceive this as a fantasy that they've never seen before, and we think we do have a good position for the audience to perceive a unique and attractive game series." — Akihiro Hino
Yo-Kai Watch 2 finally comes to the West on September 30th for 3DS. Will you be picking it up? Let us know in the comments below!

The game is huge in the esports arena, and tournaments will soon be held in the fancy new Blizzard Arena Los Angeles. If you haven't dropped the loot needed to buy the game because you aren't sure if Overwatch is for you, Blizzard has an upcoming free play weekend to whet your appetite. Starting on September 22nd and running through the 25th Blizzard will have a free weekend where you won't have to spend any money to get the game or play. You will, however, need a free Battle.net account on PC, PlayStation Plus on the PS4, or Xbox Live Gold on the Xbox One platform to play. If you find that you are dominating while maining Hanzo and want to buy the game, your progress from the free weekend will carry over. That is assuming you played the free weekend using the same account you purchase the game with. The full roster of 25 heroes and 16 maps will be available during the free weekend and multiple game modes will be offered including Quick Play, Custom Games, and Arcade. Levelups, loot boxes, and different customization options will all be available as well. Blizzard wants to make playing for free easy and gives you steps for all three platforms to enjoy the free weekend. Obviously you have to wait until next Friday to start the download when the free client is available. FOR WINDOWS PC: Step 1: Download and install the Blizzard Battle.net desktop app, if you haven't already, and launch it. Step 2: Create a FREE Blizzard account, or log in with an existing account. Step 3: Click the "Overwatch" icon, located on the left-hand side of the Blizzard desktop app. Step 4: Select your region from the drop-down menu, then click "Install" to begin the installation process. Step 5: Once installed, click "Play" to begin! FOR PLAYSTATION 4: Step 1: Turn on your PlayStation 4 and log in to your preferred local user. Step 2: Go to PlayStation Store and select "Search" from the top menu. Step 3: In the search field, type in "Overwatch." Step 4: Select "Overwatch Free Weekend" from the search results and then click "Download." Step 5: Once the download and installation process is complete, click "Start" to begin! FOR XBOX ONE: Step 1: Turn on your Xbox One and log in to your Xbox Live account. Step 2: Go to the Xbox One Store, then select "Search." Step 3: In the search field, type in "Overwatch." Step 4: Select "Overwatch: Origins Edition" from the search results and then click "Free Trial." Step 5: Once the download and installation process is complete, click "Launch" to begin! There are some restrictions for PC gamers; the free weekend is only available in the Americas, Europe, and Asia. Gamers in Korea are excluded. For the PS4 and Xbox One, all regions can play. While your progress and loot carries over, trophies and achievements have been disabled during the free weekends and cross-platform play isn't available.

Murder of Tiahleigh Palmer Palmer's friends and family carry her coffin at her funeral. Her killer, Rick Thorburn, is the second pallbearer from the left. Date Murdered 30 October 2015
Remains found 5 November 2015
Remains identified 6 November 2015 Location Logan, Queensland, Australia
Tiahleigh Alyssa Rose Palmer (sometimes known as Tia or Tiah) was a 12-year-old Australian girl who lived in Logan City, Queensland.[1] She was murdered on 30 October 2015. Her remains were found six days later and her foster father, Rick Thorburn, was charged on 20 September 2016 with her murder. Thorburn pleaded guilty to the murder before the Supreme Court of Queensland on 25 May 2018.[2]
Disappearance and death [ edit ]
Palmer's foster father says he drove her to Marsden State High School on 30 October 2015, dropping her off at about 8:10am.[3] She did not attend any classes and was not seen for the rest of the day. On 5 November, police released photos and appealed to the public for information on her whereabouts in a press conference.[4] Later that day, the remains of a female aged 12–18 were found on the bank of the Pimpama River and, on 6 November, they were officially identified as Palmer's. Police then began a search for her backpack and school uniform.[5] On 7 November, a vigil was held in Logan and, on 14 November, her funeral was held and attended by more than 600 people.[6][7]
On 4 December 2015, a shoe believed to be Palmer's was found near where her body was discovered.[8] Police conducted many interviews, searched the area around the Pimpama River and forensically examined a number of houses and vehicles. The investigation failed to find her missing backpack and school uniform.[9][10]
Criminal proceedings [ edit ]
Palmer's foster father, Rick Thorburn, was a person of interest to police from the earliest days of the investigation. The Thorburns fostered no more children after Palmer's disappearance, but continued to run a daycare service from their home until April 2016 when the state's education and child safety departments were advised by police that Rick Thorburn was facing nine serious charges unrelated to Palmer, and the family's daycare approval was revoked and their foster care approval was suspended.[11]
In September 2016 a car formerly owned by Rick Thorburn was seized by police for forensic examination and, on 20 September 2016, Palmer's foster parents and their two sons were taken into police custody for questioning. Rick Thorburn was charged with Palmer's murder and with interfering with a corpse. He collapsed shortly after his arrest and was subsequently placed in an induced coma for several days, missing a scheduled court appearance the next day. Police are looking into whether he took pills just before or after his arrest, in a suicide attempt.[12]
Palmer's 19-year-old foster brother, Trent, was charged with two counts of perjury and one count each of attempting to pervert the course of justice and incest, and was denied bail.[13][14] Her foster mother, Julene, and older foster brother, Joshua, were both charged with perjury and attempting to pervert the course of justice and released on bail.
Palmer's grandmother has told reporters that, months before she died, Palmer had declined an option to move in with her mother because she had a crush on Trent, and because she loved the horses on the Thorburn property. In a court hearing on 21 September 2016 prosecutors said that, two days before her death, Trent confessed to a cousin that he had had sex with Palmer on the previous Monday, and that she had told his mother about it.[15][16] The court also heard that, shortly before her death, Palmer had told a friend that Trent would have sex with her when Mrs Thorburn went out, and she had told her foster mother about the abuse. Prosecutors say that Trent now admits he was lying when he had earlier repeatedly denied the abuse to his parents and police.[17]
On 23 September 2016, investigators began excavating the Thorburns' rural property in a search for evidence.[18] Rick Thorburn said nothing to investigators, but Julene and Joshua both made statements to police.[19] On 10 October, Julene's and Joshua's lawyer told a court they would plead guilty to all charges and had agreed to be witnesses for the prosecution.[20][21] In March 2018 it was reported that Rick Thorburn intended to plead guilty to Palmer's murder,[22] and he did so formally before the Supreme Court on 25 May 2018.[2] He was then sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole for at least 20 years.[23]
In July 2017, Joshua Thorburn was sentenced to three months in jail for lying to police and hiding information about Palmer's death.[24] Trent Thorburn was sentenced to four years in jail for incest, perjury and attempting to pervert the course of justice in September 2017[25] and released on 19 January 2018.[26] In November 2017, Julene Thorburn was sentenced to 18 months in jail for perjury and attempting to pervert the course of justice.[27]

In the long history of the Games there can’t have been many sadder silver medalists than Yulia Efimova.
It wasn’t the race, or that she finished second. She said herself that it was “the best I can do right now”.
Efimova and Sun on podium as King delivers 'victory for clean sport' Read more
It was the fact that winning it meant she finally had to talk to the press. And everything else she has been through too; the boos she has heard every night in the pool, and the blunt opinions expressed by her fellow competitors.
Not least the one who beat her, the USA’s Lilly King, who said over and again that Efimova shouldn’t have been allowed to swim here, and refused to congratulate her after the race was over, because Efimova had twice failed drugs tests.
And here’s the thing: King was right to take that stand. Too few in her sport do, least of all the men and women who run it.
Efimova said she was happy, but didn’t seem it. Speaking in faltering English, she said that she couldn’t explain how she felt but that she would ask everyone to “just try to understand me, if you can.” She felt she was being persecuted.
She has been living in the USA for four years, she said, and was only in Russia for “maybe one month a year”. She insisted she had nothing to do with, and knew nothing about, the Russian state-sponsored doping program which was exposed in the McLaren report, and that she was being unfairly persecuted for political reasons.
“In the Olympic Games, usually all wars stop, but now they can’t find a way to beat Russia and now they try to make use of athletes.”
“I would really like to encourage my fellow athletes to understand my problems,” Efimova said, “and not let politics into it,” Efimova said. “It is very upsetting that some athletes don’t believe that. They watch television, they read newspapers, they have no idea of the facts.”
Efimova failed her first drugs test in 2013 when she tested positive for the steroid 7-keto-DHEA. She said then that it was a hidden ingredient in a supplement she was using. Last night admitted that was a lie, and that she had “made a mistake”.
Russian TV likens Michael Phelps cupping therapy to meldonium Read more
Then she failed again this winter, for meldonium. This, she says, was not her fault. She insists that she was only using meldonium before it was banned, but that it stayed in her system so long that subsequent tests still picked it up after she gave it up.
The World Anti-Doping Agency might yet agree. After the positive test Efimova was temporarily suspended by Fédération Internationale de Natation (Fina), then reprieved after Wada decided that they needed more time to investigate how long meldonium stays in the body. Fina allowed her to compete while the decision is pending.
Then she seemed to have been banned again when the IOC recommended that any Russian competitors who had served suspensions for doping violations should be withdrawn from these Olympics. But she was cleared by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, who ruled that she shouldn’t be punished twice for the same offence.
As confusing as the situation is, it’s still clearer than Fina’s thinking. The Russian press reported that Fina actually wrote to CAS to support Efimova in the very case she was bringing against them. Fina declined to comment on that.
They were, however, very keen to talk about Wada’s McLaren report. So keen, in fact, that two days before it had even been released their President, Julio Maglione, put out a statement saying that the report lacked credibility and that he was worried there was “a drive behind the scenes to get a global coalition of support” to “call for the total ban on Russia”. A little later, he added that he felt Wada had “exceeded its powers”.
It wasn’t so long ago – a year and ten months to the week, if you like to be precise – that Maglione flew to Russia to personally present Vladimir Putin with something called the ‘Fina Order’, which they award “to a head of state or individuals of high dignity who have achieved remarkable merit in the world of aquatics”.
It was a thank you for his personal contribution to their sport. Putin’s most notable contribution was that he had Russia host the lavish World Championships in Kazan last year. The very same World Championships, of course, which McLaren revealed had been systematically undermined by the Russia’s sports ministry, security forces, and anti-doping agency. Which is what Efimova says she is now being punished for.
Long before those Championships had even started, Fina’s Executive Director Cornel Marculescu was warned by the World Swimming Coaches Association that “[Rusada] are clearly complicit in the doping of Russian athletes” and “that the legitimacy of the Fina world championships this summer is at great risk.”
This wasn’t inside information. It was readily available in a German TV documentary that could be seen on YouTube. Marculescu’s response was to promise “that we have excellent working relations with Rusada and we co-ordinate with them our doping control programme in Russia.” Marculescu and Maglione both agreed that the Kazan Championships were the best there had ever been.
No wonder that Jon Rudd, who coaches the former Olympic champion Ruta Meilutyte, told the Guardian last month that Fina have “lost their way”, that their “credibility and respect could not be any lower”. No wonder that the great Australia coach Bill Sweetenham thinks the doping problem is “as bad as it has ever been”.
Because Efimova isn’t the only one. Like Rudd said, she’s just “the tip of the iceberg”, a “a representative of the system that doesn’t work”.
Efimova may be a cheat, but they run the system that has let her compete. It is Fina’s fault that there have been as many jeers as cheers in the Aquatic Stadium so far this week, so if you really want to know who to boo, it isn’t her, but them. | positive |

We’re sharing a super simple vodka soda recipe and tips for making your own. This is a classic cocktail and easy to make. It’s low in sugar and calories and uses citrus juice to give it flavor. Vodka is a neutral spirit that is perfect to serve year-round. Customize it by using seasonal cocktail garnishes and adding We like that this drink is a low-calorie cocktail. It’s refreshing but without extra sugar and mixers. It’s a cocktail that you can enjoy anytime and it’s affordable to make. It’s one of our favorite drinks when we want to sip something that’s light and refreshing. What is Vodka? Table of Contents What is Vodka? What’s in a Vodka Soda How to Make this Vodka Soda Recipe Ingredients Directions Cocktail Variations Vodka Soda Calories Tips for Making a Vodka Soda Vodka Soda Cocktail Garnishes Best Vodka to Use for Vodka Soda When to Serve Vodka Soda Frequently Asked Questions More Vodka Cocktail Recipes Vodka Soda Ingredients Instructions Notes Nutrition Vodka is a clear distilled alcoholic beverage. It originated in Poland, Russia, and Sweden. Vodka is made by the distillation of fermented substances such as grains, potatoes, or sometimes fruits or sugar. Traditionally, it’s made from grain, rye most commonly, which is combined with water and heated. Yeast is added, initiating fermentation and converting sugars into alcohol. What’s in a Vodka Soda This is one of the easiest and lowest calories cocktails you can make. It’s simply vodka, lime, and club soda. This drink is perfect if you want to sip a cocktail that’s low in sugar and calories. Also, check out a list of our favorite vodka cocktails and great mixers for vodka too. How to Make this Vodka Soda Recipe The ratio is pretty simple and can easily be altered. We like to do 1.5 ounces vodka and 4.5 ounces of club soda. You can also do a 2 and 4 ratio if you like the cocktail to be a little stronger. Ingredients You only need 3 simple ingredients to make this cocktail: Vodka – Use good quality vodka. Also, expensive doesn’t always mean good. There are several brands that are of amazing quality for great prices. Soda Water – Club soda or sparkling water all work for this recipe. You can also use tonic water for this recipe which would make it a vodka tonic. However, tonic water contains more sugar, so if you’re looking for low sugar use carbonated water. Lime – Always fresh lime juice and a lime wedge for garnishing. Directions Fill a glass with ice and pour vodka over the ice. Add the club soda and a squeeze of lime juice. Garnish with a lime wedge. Cocktail Variations If you want to elevate your cocktail try these fun variations. Flavored Club Soda – These days there is a plethora of flavored sparkling waters on the market. Choose lemon or lime to add a hint of flavor. You can also add a dash of real fruit juices into the soda to give it a light flavor. Watermelon Vodka Soda Recipe – Use a watermelon club to make this drink. The soda will have a hint of watermelon essence. You can also add a chunk of watermelon to garnish the cocktail. You can even add a little watermelon juice to drink too. Grapefruit Vodka Soda – Grapefruit club soda with 1/2 ounce grapefruit juice. You can also use grapefruit vodka as well. Floral Ice Cubes – Make floral ice cubes by adding edible flowers into an ice cube tray with water and freezing overnight. This charming touch elevates a simple cocktail. Elderflower Vodka Soda – Add a splash of elderflower liqueur to the cocktail. It does add a little more sugar and calories, but worth the floral flavors. This is a beautiful cocktail to make for a party if you want to keep it simple. Create a bar area with the ingredients out so guests can make their own. Charming touches like edible flowers will make the drink elevated and feel special. You can also serve this drink with our blue ice cubes, pink ice cubes, or strawberry ice cubes for a fun twist! Lemon Vodka Soda – Instead of lime juice, swap it out with lemon juice. A squeeze of lemon and some lemon zest over the top make this a refreshing and easy low-calorie drink. Vodka Soda Calories This is one of the lowest-calorie cocktails you can make. There are about 105 calories in this drink and zero sugar. It’s perfect for anyone wanting an alcoholic beverage without the sweetness, sugar or calories. Tips for Making a Vodka Soda Good Quality Vodka – Since the majority of this recipe is vodka, you want one that is smooth and refreshing. You can also go with a lightly flavored vodka like cucumber. Fresh Sparkling Water – Make sure the sparkling water you use to make this drink is fresh and not flat. There is nothing worse than a flat soda. You want a lot of bubbles and carbonation. Customize – Make this cocktail year-round by garnishing it with seasonal fresh fruit. For example, around the holidays add fresh cranberries and a sprig of rosemary over the top for an instant Christmas cocktail. For the 4th of July, use strawberry ice and add some fresh blueberries. This drink can be customized for seasons, holidays, and celebrations. Vodka Soda Cocktail Garnishes It’s all about the presentation and adding cocktail garnishes creates a beautiful drink. Since this cocktail is so simple to make, we like to spruce it up with some pretty garnishes. Here are some ideas for garnishing a vodka soda: Fresh Mint – Adds color and a beautiful aroma of mint. Edible Flowers – We use these often for drinks and desserts. Dehydrated Orange Slice – Another favorite is to add a dried orange slice over the cocktail. You can also dehydrate limes and lemons too. A dehydrated lime slice would look beautiful. Best Vodka to Use for Vodka Soda It’s important to use good quality vodka since there are only 3 ingredients in this cocktail. The smoothness and flavors of vodka will be present in the cocktail. Here are some of our favorite vodka brands to use when making this classic vodka soda: Grey Goose Tito’s Vodka King Street Reyka Belvedere Vodka – Makes a ginger zest vodka too. Prairie Organic Vodka – They also make an organic apple, pear ginger vodka that would be great in a vodka soda. When to Serve Vodka Soda This cocktail is great year-round. It’s perfect for an afternoon or evening when you want a drink that’s not sweet. It’s also a great option to serve on any of these occasions: Brunch Pool Party Beach Bonfire Birthday Party it’s also perfect for a last-minute birthday party!

We all have obligations. To family, friends, work or even just ourselves. Big or small, we all owe someone something, even if that someone is ourselves or our own desires. Obligation is a part of life…
Your party finds itself on a Mid-Rim world. You’ve just made a big score and have a cargo hold full of loot. You head off to the local watering hole to celebrate before looking for a merchant the next morning.
The GM brings up the cantina band music from Episode IV and you all do some light RP as you plan your next move. Some of the goods are, undoubtedly, illegal and you wouldn’t want them to sit in your cargo hold for long, lest some nosy Customs agent come along for a look. You’re just beginning to settle on a plan when the GM begins to describe the cute Twi’lek waitress who has been serving you drinks. It seems, she’s been looking your way with a suggestive smile all night. Can you resist her charm?
Your party members shake their heads; they know what’s coming. But you, sir, are an excellent roleplayer. The GM gives you a wicked smile as he describes how you have an uncontrollable desire to abandon your party and go talk to the pretty girl. You know you’re going to have to face it; you’re addicted to love.
Alas, poor Romeo. He chose the Addiction Obligation at character creation. He described himself to the GM as a sweet talking, charming lover of a person. He’s addicted to love, something he tends to find in every port. As Romeo gets up to head over to the Twi’lek, the party members all groan. This usually does not end well for them.
While Romeo sweet talks the Twi’lek, the GM begins to tell you a sob story about how she’s cautious around men, ever since her ex-boyfriend, Bubba, threatened her. As you get more and more drunk, she tells you about her poor sister, sick with a terrible disease. She would get a better job, but her ex-boyfriend again, is also the boss and he won’t let her find better work.
As you talk, the GM calls for a Cool check. He hands you some more Challenge dice and, because you’ve been drinking, a few Setback die. This one will be tough.
Success! You’ve resisted the girl’s charms and notice what she’s trying to do. Your wallet is safe.
Advantage! You are a good listener. Should you decide to Charm the girl, you’ve got some Boost die coming your way.
Triumph! They call you Lover Boy for a reason. Not only did you catch onto the girl’s manipulations but you charmed her into going back to your place instead.
Failure! You only just met the girl and you’re already head over heels. Of course you’ll follow her outside into the dark alley. Alone.
Threat! Uh oh. Looks like Bubba hasn’t taken it very well that his girl’s chatting with someone as handsome as you. Here he comes and with his bouncer in tow.
Despair! You poor, lovesick boy. You don’t remember anything after leaving the cantina. Aside from assuring your friends that you’ll be fine, they shouldn’t wait up. The next thing you know, you’ve woken up in a bathtub full of ice, you’re naked and there’s a new incision on your stomach. Looks like your party will need to spend most of the money they made from the last score buying you a new set of kidneys.
Addiction as an obligation can open a lot of interesting doors for good roleplay and new directions for the story. While spice is a strong draw for those living on the Edge of the Empire, there are lots of other types of addictions to explore.

WASHINGTON — Rep. Thomas Massie likes to joke that he calls his Michigan colleague Justin Amash "Mr. Speaker."
Massie cast the sole vote for Amash for House speaker back in January, and proudly wears a "LIBERTY" pin on his lapel — a gift from Amash — under his official member pin
"He's only got to get 217 more votes," Massie, a Kentucky Republican, said laughing.
While he may not be close to becoming speaker of the House, Amash has slowly but surely become one of the more prominent Republicans in the rebellious wing of the House conference, as evidenced Monday when he effectively forced the actual Speaker of the House John Boehner to allow a vote on his amendment to partially defund the National Security Agency as part of the Department of Defense appropriations process.
The revelations that the NSA had been collecting the phone and internet data of millions of Americans en masse has given Amash a prime opportunity to move forward with some of his most important priorities.
Boehner and Amash had been negotiating over the amendment and Amash had threatened to vote against a procedural vote on the bill — and bring some 20 Republican votes along to defeat it — if his amendment did not get a vote.
"I would be very surprised if you could get a Department of Defense appropriations rule through this house with out a reasonable amendment like this being allowed on the floor," Amash said last week in an interview with BuzzFeed.
But Amash appears to have gotten what he wanted and in turn proved himself a powerful leader in the Republican conference — enough that he forced leadership to take him seriously.
"We're optimistic that his amendment will pass, and if it does, it will give him the opportunity to vote for final passage," said Amash spokesman Will Adams.
That attitude didn't go over well with leadership aides, who bristled at the notion Amash had extracted something from his leaders. "The leaders have been clear with members whose amendments are being made in order that they are expected to vote for the bill on final passage if their amendments are adopted," a leadership aide said.
Michael Steel, a spokesman for Boehner, said the speaker "does not support the Amash amendment."
Since his arrival in Washington as part of the 2010 GOP tidal wave, Amash has not only been a consistent thorn in the side of his own leadership, which view him on good days with suspicion, to the point they booted him from the budget committee in December.
Amash said his beef with Republican leadership isn't personal, even though they kicked him off the budget committee last year. He tweeted out a thanks to John Boehner Monday for "working diligently toward resolving significant concerns over the amendment process w/r/t #NSA."
"There's no personal tension, we do have disagreements on where we need to go and I think they have a deep misunderstanding of the Republican grassroots," he said.
Another bill he introduced with Democratic Rep. John Conyers to defund portions of the NSA, similar in language to the DoD amendment, now has 43 co-sponsors. Members who've signed on include some of the House's most liberal and most conservative representatives.
Political observers are closely watching what exactly Amash's next move will be. He's been traveling around Michigan, out of his district, meeting with fundraisers further fueling speculation he'll run for Senate. He's not quite sure if he'll end up running, but there's no question he's seriously weighing it.
"Yes, I'm considering it," he said in an interview with BuzzFeed. "I am confident I would win the primary, but I think the general election is highly dependent on national mood. If the national mood favors Republicans, then a state a like Michigan is in play and can be won. If it's neutral, I think Michigan becomes difficult for any Republican.
"But I certainly believe, based on all my interactions in the state and in my community that a Republican like me has the best chance of winning the Senate seat."
A potential Senate bid could ruffle national party feathers: Establishment Republicans haven't exactly been shy about criticizing Amash. Recently Karl Rove called him "the most liberal Republican" in the House, which prompted Amash to quickly tweet out a link showing he voted with Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi the least often of any Republican member.
There are no indications that Amash plans to quit throwing punches at what he disparagingly calls the "establishment" GOP.
"Those who are in the establishment are totally out of touch with what's happening on the ground, totally out of touch with our communities, and don't understand what republicans think in today's world," he said.
"People want a congressman to be honest with them about what's going on here. They are sick and tired of the lies, the deceit, the condescension, the arrogance. They want someone to tell the truth to them. Even those who might not agree with my positions on particular legislation appreciate the fact that I'm transparent and consistent, and principled rather than partisan." | positive |

Previous article: Lightmap Workflow, Part 1: UV Generation
Background
RedFrame is meant to be a highly atmospheric and immersive experience. To create this atmosphere, it was important for us to focus on lighting. Many games have compelling lighting, however they tend to be outdoor environments lit by a single directional source representing the sun. In comparison, we are creating a nighttime environment illuminated by lamps, sconces, and recessed lighting.
I struggled for many months to achieve a look that I really liked. Hopefully what I have learned can be helpful to anyone trying to create something similar. It is important to note that we are using a lot of precomputed lighting with Mental Ray, which is not a viable option for games that have highly dynamic environments (which, unfortunately, is most kinds of games).
This is a workflow for Maya and Mental Ray, but the concepts are universal. There are five concepts that I will cover:
Correct falloff / Gamma Correction Physically accurate soft shadows Distribution / Photometry Color temperature Indirect light
Once you understand these concepts, you will have a non-software specific checklist to use in creating your interior setup.
Correct Falloff / Gamma Correction
For many years working in 3d, I was told that real-world light had a quadratic falloff. This is known as the inverse-square law. Any energy that radiates out from a source in 3d space has an intensity equal to 1/(the distance traveled)^2. However, many lighting tutorials that I had read glossed over this fact, and instead suggested using a linear falloff which looked better. I always thought that this was weird since the quadratic falloff was physically correct. Naturally I tried using quadratic falloff which, to my dismay, resulted in too much contrast compared to the linear method. | positive |
(Check out some of my other hacks)
Everyone has cell phones. Everyone’s cell phones need to be charged. Don’t use that “free” charger you find plugged into the wall at a restuarant, shopping center, or airport.
If you do, all of your phone’s data could be deleted.
Here’s why:
I recently started messing around with a thing called an OTG cable. The OTG cable lets you connect USB devices to your android phone.
Things like: A USB stick, a keyboard, a mouse
When I plugged a mouse into my phone I was quite surprised: It just worked.
I did not have to enable the mouse in my settings; it just appeared on my screen. A majority of android phones support this feature.
It got me thinking. What if instead of a mouse, I did this:
An arduino is a programmable device, and they come in a variety of sizes. Many models are small enough to hide in a cell phone charger.
Well, that allows for some interesting things (Visit this link to get the code that turns your arduino into a “Fake Mouse”). Now I can make macros, or programs, for my phone. I can send timed mouse movements and clicks, but what good is that?
I wanted to see if something like this could be dangerous.
I asked the question: “How difficult is it to completely erase my phone”
Well, if your phone does not have a password, it could range anywhere from 8-10 presses on your screen, that’s it.
If your phone is not password protected and you plug it into an unknown USB source, your phone can be erased in 8-10 mouse clicks.
This is how the arduino algorithm works:
Step 1: Detects that a USB connection is made
Step 2: A few Fake mouse commands are sent
Step 3… There is no step 3, your phone data has been deleted
Lets see how fast we can navigate and entirely erase a phone using this protocol
8 Seconds and the phone is wiped
Some phone providers will have their own menu configurations, and this can help protect against blind attacks like this. But if someone is intentionally trying to delete your phone’s data, than they could tailor the mouse commands to your specific model.
If your phone has a password, but your connect to the USB when your screen is unlocked, you are still at high risk. A hacker could: connect you an insecure network, delete all of your photos, make a copy of your contacts list, the list is endless.
How to fix this? First, put a password on your phone. Also, the next version of android should make it so that USB peripherals need to be turned on through the settings menu each time they are plugged in.

The game has ended. Following months of speculation and a never-ending supply of fan theories, the series finale of Pretty Little Liars revealed the identity of “Uber A,” the archvillain who betrayed the Liars and everyone they love most. After all of this time, Spencer Hastings had an evil British twin named Alex Drake, who meets Wren in London by fate and becomes slowly obsessed with Spencer’s life in Rosewood. After her half-sister Charlotte gets murdered, Alex assumes the identity of “A.D.” to discover who did the deed, solidifying her desire to kidnap Spencer and take over her life to finally get the friends and family she never had. It’s an absolutely insane finale, and frankly, the perfect way for the Freeform drama to bow out after all of these years. Earlier today, showrunner I. Marlene King called Vulture up for one final chat about the finale, keeping Uber A’s identity under wraps, and the one death scene that had to be cut.
I loved the finale. It was just as batshit crazy as I hoped, so I’m glad to talk with you one last time about the show.
Thank you. That’s one of my words, too, batshit crazy. We’re on the same page.
Are you getting the reaction you hoped for?
To be honest with you, I have not gone on social media. I’ve stayed off intentionally because every time there’s a finale, there’s all these people who love it and all these people who don’t love it, so I’m saving myself a few days.
How did you keep the Uber A revelation from leaking on set? How many people were privy to it? Did you use a code word?
We would use code words for A a lot. Especially because Warner Brothers tours are really popular on the back lot, we would have code words or a phrase. We wouldn’t say names and we wouldn’t even use the letters A.D., but I will say this was the longest we asked our actors or cast and crew to go with a secret, because we finished in October and the finale didn’t air until last night. We really did a give a big disclaimer of, “You guys, this is the biggest secret of all and you’re going to have to keep it for the longest amount of time, so please, do your best.” They did great, though. I always say that if Snapchat were invented when the show first started, we would have been screwed — so many spoilers came out with Snapchat — but other than that we did alright.
I’m guessing NDAs probably helped as well. Did you make the cast sign them?
Yes, we did that. We didn’t in the first couple seasons, but then we started to with the last couple.
What were the conversations like between you and Troian Bellisario to help her develop this entirely new persona?
We talked about it a lot together. Troian loved this dichotomy of Alex having grown up on the streets, so we worked that into the mythology and the backstory of her character. She wanted her accent to be very different from Wren. Wren is polished and she wanted to be much less polished, so we worked on a lot of that stuff together. There’s even a little notice that she has a little chipped tooth before she meets Charlotte.
When did you tell Troian? I know she learned about it before everyone else.
She knew two years in advance, so she knew at the beginning of season six. Very much on the down-low, we worked together over the course of season six and we talked so much about the character. We saw the black hoodie and stuff, but we didn’t see Troian Bellisario as Alex Drake until season seven.
Before you decided to give Spencer an evil twin, did you float around any other serious contenders for the “Uber A” title?
We did. You know, I loved the idea of Wren, I knew he was going to be a part of it. Originally, he was the first on my list to be Uber A, but Julian Morris is such a busy actor. We got him for a day for the finale as it was, so we realized early on that we really had to pick somebody who was a series regular, so we could guarantee that they would be available to us.
I can’t believe you turned Wren into a necklace. That poor beautiful man!
Well, I’ll tell you: We were supposed to have him for two days and we wrote this great death scene where Alex Drake killed him in the finale, but we couldn’t do it because we lost Julian and we only had him for one day. So, that was a happy accident that came out of Julian’s availability.
What was Wren’s death scene going to be?
He was going to show up at the church and then try to get Alex to change her mind about becoming Spencer, basically. She just couldn’t handle the thought of always thinking of her as Alex, so she basically was like, “Step in the fire escape.” The ladder from the fire escape was going to come down and cut off his left side. It was going to be an awesome death scene. I’ll save it for something else.
The show already had one twin reveal with Mary Drake and Jessica DiLaurentis, and then you revealed that Alison gave birth to twin girls as well. How and why did you decide to inject the narrative with a final set of twins?
We knew Alex was going to be the twin. Since they were having babies and twins run in the family, we thought, “It’s the finale, come on, one more set of twins. Everything in threes.”
The “Spencer has an evil twin” theory has been popular among fans for a few weeks now. Looking back, do you wish you dropped fewer clues, or were those hints important to telling the story?
We really wanted to make it possible for the fans to figure it out. It was a popular theory, but there were other popular theories too. I think with the original Mona [revelation], more people wished that we had strayed away from the books with Charlotte — people thought it was too scary — so now we wanted to split it down the middle in that sweet spot.
Were you disheartened that internet sleuths developed the twin theory so quickly, especially since the “A” reveals of Charlotte and Mona were met with such genuine shock?
I feel like people started seeing it as soon as we did that dream scene. Over the course of the last ten episodes, I just kept seeing it shift back and forth on social media, so it was still a question in people’s minds. There would be times where we’d make you think something on the show and we’d do it intentionally and then twist it at the last minute.
I appreciated the last scene of Mona, who finally got justice by winning the game.
We’re on the same page! You and I should write a show together. | positive |

Science fiction writers may have to rethink how their starship crews survive travel near or beyond the speed of light. Even the occasional hydrogen atom floating in the interstellar void would become a lethal radiation beam that would kill human crews in mere seconds and destroy a spacecraft's electronics, New Scientist reports.
Just a few stray wisps of hydrogen gas -- fewer than two hydrogen atoms per cubic centimeter on average -- would translate into 7 teraelectron volts for a starship crew traveling at 99.999998 percent of the speed of light. That's as much fun for humans as standing in front of the proton beam created by the Large Hadron Collider, according to William Edelstein, a physicist at Johns Hopkins University.
Edelstein added that the radiation dose would reach 10,000 sieverts within a second; the fatal radiation dose for humans is just 6 sieverts. He predicted that any extraterrestrials who might have created starships capable of such high speeds might have died upon their inaugural voyages, and New Scientist adds a preliminary funeral note for Kirk, Spock and the rest of Star Trek's USS Enterprise crew traveling at warp speeds.
But hold on a second. The warp speed concept of Star Trek supposedly involves manipulating space-time, so that the actual starship travels in a bubble of normal space-time. The USS Enterprise also had deflector shields that could shrug off photon torpedoes, never mind some measly hydrogen atoms.
See, we knew that science fiction could imagineer us out of that pickle. Hopefully some of our early shield technology might translate into the more robust version by the time humans become true interstellar spacefarers.

Fishing vessels in the North Atlantic have long caught tuna and swordfish using 100-kilometer-long lines that can hold as many as 1200 baited hooks. But as the numbers of these fish have decreased, the ships have been catching more sharks, which they sell for their meat and their highly lucrative fins. The trouble is that sharks, as slow-growing top predators, are vulnerable to overfishing. Just how vulnerable? To find out, an international group of researchers tracked where migratory species of ocean-going sharks spent most of their time. They put electronic tags on six species in the North Atlantic, tracking 99 individuals for an average of 80 days. They found—somewhat surprisingly—that sharks cluster predictably in areas with abundant food, such as the Gulf Stream and the Azores islands. To measure how often they might cross paths with commercial fishing ships, the team also analyzed location data for 186 vessels that fish for sharks with home ports in Spain and Portugal. Comparing the locations, the researchers found an 80% overlap in the ranges of fishing vessels and the most common species, the blue shark (see photo) and the mako shark, they report this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The researchers determined that blue sharks spent an average of 2 days per month within 50 km of long-line hooks, but that one spent as many as 20 days a month in close range to the fishing vessels before being caught. The fleets’ “intense focus” on sharks puts the sustainability of the populations at risk, the researchers conclude. They add that the most important step to prevent the decline of shark species would be to place international limits on how many can be caught. If that were to occur, they say, fishermen could prevent shark captures by outfitting their fishing lines so that sharks can bite their way free. | positive |
A country’s economic worth can be measured in more ways than just its GDP and national debt. It is also important to consider the economic potential that lies in the harvesting of the natural resources within its borders. This map shows the top producing countries of each resource, or the proved reserves in the case of oil and natural gas. Each circle represents the percentage of the world’s total that the country produced in the last two years. Though some of the resources are renewable and some are not, it is interesting to see which parts of the world are rich in resources that are essential to our way of life, and to consider what this map might look like 10 or 100 years from now.

Facebook has papered over its terms of use with a supposedly plain-English version, so that its users won't have to worry their pretty heads about being sold off to advertisers.
Yeah, right
You can find the new "privacy basics" site here, or if you're not a child, the less insulting "data policy" site here.
The actual terms and conditions are still here.
"Every day, people use our apps and services to connect with the people, places and things they care about. Our updates reflect the new products we’ve been working on to improve your Facebook experience. They also more clearly explain how our services work," said Erin Egan, chief privacy officer at Facebook, in a blog post.
Facebook hasn't actually changed its fine print outside of a few minor tweaks that it has already announced – a proposed new version is here. The new "privacy basics" web page is an attempt to paper over that scary language.
Now you may think couching T&Cs in normal language is a good idea, but there's an advantage to legalese: it's easy to spot when someone is overstepping the mark. It's sorta like computer code; it's not supposed to be ambiguous. The legalese has to stay because an agreement written in general terms would give the lawyers at Facebook far too much leeway – there would be plenty of room for interpretation on what exactly the website's up to with your information.
It's the difference between stating:
You give us permission to use your name, profile picture, content, and information in connection with commercial, sponsored, or related content (such as a brand you like) served or enhanced by us. This means, for example, that you permit a business or other entity to pay us to display your name and/or profile picture with your content or information, without any compensation to you.
...and...
We want our advertising to be as relevant and interesting as the other information you find on our services. With this in mind, we use all of the information we have about you to show you relevant ads.
Yes, both are from Facebook.
That said, at least the new basics pages walk you through Facebook's NASA mission control center of privacy settings for keeping embarrassing photos and other posts away from your mother.
Facebook is asking for public comment on the privacy rules and users have until November 20 to register their views. Not that Facebook is under any obligation to take them seriously, but the thought is nice. ® | positive |
Citing public safety concerns, Michigan State University has denied a request by a white nationalist group to host an event on campus next month, the university announced Thursday afternoon.
The decision comes one day after MSU President Lou Anna Simon announced that the university had received a request from the National Policy Institute to rent space to accommodate a speaker on campus in mid-September.
In a statement, the university said it reached its decision after consulting law enforcement.
"This decision was made due to significant concerns about public safety in the wake of the tragic violence in Charlottesville last weekend," the statement said.
White nationalist group seeks to rent space at Michigan State The National Policy Institute wants space to accommodate a speaker on campus
The policy institute describes itself as an "organization dedicated to the heritage, identity, and future of people of European descent in the United States, and around the world."
Richard Spencer, the group's president, spoke last weekend at a rally in Charlottesville during which protesters rallied against plans by the city to remove a statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee.
The event turned violent, with clashes between the white nationalists and counter protesters. One woman died and 19 were injured when a man with views sympathetic to Nazis plowed his car into a group of counter protesters, according to news reports.
This week, two other universities -- Texas A&M and University of Florida -- opted against hosting events involving Spencer or the National Policy Institute in the wake of Charlottesville.
Lorenzo Santavicca, student body president of the Associated Students of Michigan State University, said he supports the university's decision.
"It's too close for comfort for this group to come to campus after what happened in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the past weekend," he said. "I'm really glad that Michigan State put values of our spartan community over that message in showing what matters more to our community at this point in time." | positive |
