3 Reasons You Should Be Working with Oral Care Providers - VIDAN VENTURES VIDAN VENTURES Seminars TMJD ONLINE > TMJD Online Training What DCs are Saying For TMJD Docs Resources Page ONE-DAY Doctors Speaker Request Gallery Contact WHY TMJD? 3 Reasons You Should Be Working with Oral Care Providers 6/8/2018 0 Comments 5-12% of the population suffers from TMJD (jaw pain, popping, clicking, etc), and almost all of them see their dentist, orthodontist, or oral surgeon at least once per year. But Oral Care Providers (OCPs) often don't know how to help them with TMJD or where to refer them. That's where you come in! Whether you currently run a busy practice or you're just starting out, working with OCPs offers a solution for the provider while opening up a whole new market for you! As if that weren't enough, here are 3 more reasons why working with OCPs is a no-brainer! TMJD Referrals Start Care Patients who are referred by their oral care providers almost always start care. Why? Because their dentist/orthodontist/oral surgeon is the end-all-be-all-KNOW-all of the jaw. So a referral from the already-trusted OCP means instant trust in you, too. TMJD Referrals are Compliant Patients who are suffering from jaw pain, clicking, popping, etc. have tried everything! They have often been to a slew of doctors who haven’t been able to resolve the problem. I once had a patient who had been blending all her foods for months due to pain when she chews. If your patient’s motivating factor is “I just want to be able to chew a steak!”…that means they are ready to take whatever means necessary to find relief! When you are specifically trained to effectively communicate and care for both cervical and TMJ components, patients will see the value of starting care in your office. Oral Care Providers Understand Wellness OCPs understand and support wellness because they do it every day! They constantly promote preventative dental hygiene, so they encourage patients to prevent future setbacks through maintenance care. Not only will they refer patients to you who will start care and stay compliant, but their referrals become lifelong patients with great results and encouragement from the OCP to maintain care in your office. 0 Comments Your comment will be posted after it is approved.

Nvidia, Gaikai partner with Meteor to broaden Hawken launch Gaikai also will upgrade all of its data centers to run on Nvidia's new Kepler architecture
John Gaudiosi Tuesday 15th May 2012 Share this article Share
One of the most anticipated free-to-play games out there is about to reach a lot more gamers. Meteor Entertainment, the publisher of Adhesive Games' new sci-fi shooter, Hawken, is partnering with Nvidia and Gaikai to expand the reach of the game beyond the core PC gaming audience. Gaikai will offer Hawken across all of its streaming devices, including tablets, Smart TVs and even Facebook.
This August, Gaikai will upgrade all of its data centers, which already run with Nvidia GeForce technology, to the new Nvidia GeForce GRID, which is based on Nvidia's new Kepler architecture that can render games with half of the power of previous GPUs. Ujesh Desai, vice president of product marketing at Nvidia, said this helps gaming-as-a-service operators significantly with data center costs. Furthermore, GeForce GRID includes Nvidia's fast streaming technology that reduces server side latency by up to 30ms, which can hide most of the network latency so that the GeForce GRID play feels just like a local console.
"These partnerships give us the opportunity to reach the mainstream audience," said Mark Long, CEO of Meteor Entertainment. "The visually disruptive, cinematic graphics are the first thing everyone sees with Hawken. We know there's an audience out here that will want to try this game out and now they'll be able to play it beyond the traditional PC."
Hawken will debut on December 12, 2012 on PC and Long said the game will be available on Gaikai not long after launch. Meteor Entertainment, Adhesive Games and Gaikai offered a live demonstration of Hawken playing on Tegra 3 tablets at an Nvidia press event today. The game used the new GeForce GRID technology to stream 720p HD gameplay of the Andromeda map running at 60 frames per second with no latency.
"This will allow big games to truly have the types of huge debuts that we see with Hollywood blockbusters" David Perry
"Latency will go down so that it will feel like a local console," said Desai. "Server power is reduced by one half and game encoding is moved from the CPU to the GPU. Therefore, server GPU and game density can be increased by four times. This reduces game streaming costs. Higher quality modes are now possible."
Hawken will play on any tablet that can decode full screen videos at least 30 frames per second. Tegra 3 does this at 60 frames per second. Because both Snapdragon and Intel are investors in Gaikai, this streaming will work across their hardware devices as well as Nvidia tablets. Within the next three years, every tablet in the market will be able to handle the streaming of games like Hawken.
Are games in the cloud and on tablets the future?
In addition to the growing number of tablets entering the market with Tegra 3 technology, including the new WikiPad gaming tablet, Dave Perry, CEO of Gaikai said that 40 million Smart TVs will feature Gaikai within the next 12 months.
"If you look at games as a business, Call of Duty was the biggest entertainment launch in history and it's shocking how many entities didn't participate in that launch," said Perry. "Cloud gaming is the only way to get that huge audience through consumer electronic devices that are already in the home. Hawken looks amazing on an HD TV set and it's exactly the kind of game that the larger audience will want to play. This will allow big games to truly have the types of huge debuts that we see with Hollywood blockbusters."
Smart TV gamers will be able to play Hawken in 720p running at 60 fps for free with ad-supported streaming similar to what TV viewers are used to with special limited commercial interruption programming. Perry said this game will also introduce new technology that Gaikai has been developing. The company is planning a big push around Hawken. The odds are that if you already own an Internet-connected TV, it will likely support Gaikai through a new firmware upgrade that's seamlessly done on the back end.
"The direction we're heading now with free-to-play, it makes sense for the game to be on as many platforms as possible," said Jason Hughes, producer of Hawken at Adhesive Games. "Gaikai allows us to reach many more homes than we can through the PC. The more people that are playing the game, the better the experience will be for players. It helps build a stronger community."
Adhesive Games, which is developing Hawken using Epic Games' Unreal Engine 3, originally targeted Xbox Live Arcade with this multiplayer Mech shooter. As a result, the game is playable with a controller. That ties in nicely to the streaming TV experience.
"We have one of those rare good fortunes that the game was designed for the controller and internally we're debating whether or not PC players should be controller players," said Long. "A couple of guys at the office can kick my ass playing with controllers, so it looks like there won't be any difference between control schemes. It's all in the spirit of what Gaikai is going to do."
Perry said Hawken will also be playable in stereo 3D for anyone who has a 3D TV. The game will even be playable in autostereo 3D on the new WikiPad gaming tablet that is due out later this year.
While the Gaikai Hawken launch will come shortly after the PC debut, the tablet streaming will come at a later date. As a result, Hughes said the team, which is still focusing on the PC game, could explore touch-screen controls and other options for portable devices. Once Hawken does become available across all of these devices, Hughes said the ultimate goal is to allow gamers to play cross-platform within the same game universe.
Long said Meteor Entertainment will debut brand new levels of Hawken at E3, including two off-planet levels that look completely different from anything shown so far. This will also mark the first time gaming press will be able to play the game. Select fans were able to play the game at PAX East in Boston last month. | positive |

Drawing slowly on his cheap cigarettes, 35-year-old Abu Zakour is hardened as he describes how he employs children as young as nine to stitch the uniforms that end up on the backs of frontline ISIS fighters.
The Syrian boys - and a couple of girls hidden upstairs - are paid a minimum of 40 Turkish lira (£10) a day to stitch, cut and measure out the camouflage material and help their older colleagues piece together the uniforms that get smuggled across the border to rebel groups.
‘My kids are in a school run by an NGO,’ he said, speaking exclusively to MailOnline from his office in the Turkish border town of Antakya. ‘These children could go too but their parents want them to earn money, so what can I do?’
Child labour: A young boy at work making uniforms in Turkey that apparently find their way to Isis soldiers. ‘The only reason that these children work with me is for the money - If there were no war in Syria, these children would be in school—and school would be a much better option for them,' factory owner Abu Zakour told MailOnline
So young: About ten children are employed making uniforms being smuggled into Syria to sell to Isisi fighters. They should be in school but their parents send them to work
Precision: The children work twelve hours a day sewing, measuring and cutting the camouflage material to make the military uniforms
Boy tailor: The fabric used at the factory is imported from Istanbul where Turkish textile factories replicate US and Russian camouflage depending on demand, although desert US design is a customer favourite and in high demand
Abu Zakour is a simple businessman – not a revolutionary ideologue or an ISIS sympathiser – but he is also seemingly untroubled by the ethics of kitting out ISIS in camouflage, or by hiring children to do it.
His hulking shape and assertive demeanor marks him as a man not to be messed with. He lived under brutal ISIS rule until he managed to escape Raqqa just six months ago.
Originally from Aleppo, the entrepreneur escaped the incessant shelling of the now destroyed city for the relative safety of Raqqa - the de facto Syrian capital of the terror group.
While the city was ruled by fanatics, it provided an escape from the daily bombardment of President Assad's warplanes - until the US-led coalition ramped up bombings on the ISIS nerve centre.
'I had children working with me in Raqqa too. ISIS wanted children going to Shariah schools, but no one sent their children because there was a lot of bombing.
'The first time I was arrested, it was for cigarettes. They found cigarette butts on the floor but just gave me a warning—the second time, they found the ashtray, jailed me three days and gave me 40 lashes. I was arrested a third time, also for smoking...They made a huge problem for people.
Production line:The Syrian boys - and a couple of girls hidden upstairs - are paid a minimum of 40 Turkish lira (£10) a day to stitch, cut and measure out the camouflage material and help their older colleagues piece together the uniforms that get smuggled across the border to rebel groups
Camouflage: Young boys at work in a shop that makes backpacks, uniforms and other military gear for the Syrian market, and often end up in the hands of Isis
'In the end, I took my things, and I left. We fled,' he says from his office in the 'Halep Garaj' covered market in Antakya. Out front his shop boasts mannequins dressed in camouflage and smart glass cabinets displaying 'adventure kit' - torches, binoculars, pocket knives, gloves and webbing.
Lighting another cigarette he reveals his order sheet and shares his logistical woes of stocking the Syrian rebels with military gear - ISIS are far from his only customers.
‘The main problem for the military clothes are the roads—all of the roads in Syria and from Turkey to Syria are closed.
‘Of course we made far more money with the military clothes than the civilian clothes. There is a big difference between the military clothes and the civilian clothes, but what can we do? Where there is work, there is work.’
From his modest factory in Antakya – which finally shut up shop earlier this year after tightened controls put a stop to smuggling his wares through the border - his workers pay strict attention to the differing stylistic demands of the multitudes of rebel groups in northern Syria.
Lost Generation: The children should be at school, but their parents send them to work in the factory to earn 100 Turkish Lira per week
Terror: Abu Zakour used to run a similar factory in Raqqa, Syria where ISIS pressured his workers to join them for 'benefits'
ISIS encourages children under its rule to attend 'shariah' schools that brainwash pupils into becoming fighters for the terror regime
Manager: Ismail Tara Moussa from Damascus, 40, manages a textile factory that makes civilian backpacks and duffel bags down the street
While Islamist group Ahrar al-Sham prefers their uniforms to be light brown, Al-Qaeda's Syrian wing Jabhat al-Nusra prefers military green, Abu Zakour explains.
‘The Free Syrian Army (FSA) prefers their clothes to be like Ahrar al-Sham…light brown, and ISIS prefers the Afghani clothes style, but sometimes they wear more traditional uniforms,’ he said.
His fabric is imported from Istanbul where Turkish textile factories replicate US and Russian camouflage depending on demand, although desert US design is a customer favourite and in high demand.
‘My customers they want military clothes more than Afghani clothes - there is less of a market for them now, although there are still people asking me for Afghani clothes.
'Almost all the time, my customers want clothes in the style of the US army, but there are also people who want the style of the Russian Army, or the Turkish Army—but almost all of them want it to look like the US army.
‘They bring us a pattern for the US army style, and we copy this pattern directly.’
ISIS have long used different styles of uniform to differentiate between their units – all black for parades, longer shalwar kameez ‘Afghani style’ for the brutal ISIS execution squads and front line fighters and all in varying shades of camouflage, tan and the notorious black.
Demand: ‘My customers they want military clothes more than Afghani clothes - there is less of a market for them now, although there are still people asking me for Afghani clothes', the owner told MailOnline
Products: This graphic shows the different uniforms made by the Turkish sweatshop employing boys as young as nine
Abu Zakour was making military uniforms long before the violence broke out in 2012, but it has fast become his primary business.
And with so many rebel groups demanding different styles and colours of combat gear, his only problem is logistically getting the goods to market.
For years now, there have only been two main border crossings into Syria – Bab al-Hawa and Bab al-Salameh, but both face closures for trade, aid and (despite Turkey’s insistence on maintaining an ‘open door policy’ for refugees) people.
Bab al-Hawa, just beyond the Turkish border town of Reyhanli that was bombed in May 2013, has faced routine closures and passage has now ground to a halt.
It was beyond this crossing at the traders town of Sarmada – a den of tradesmen selling everything from tomatoes to Turkish sim cards to ammunition and brand new registration plate-less cars.
And here Abu Zakour delivered his packages to shady men from Raqqa.
‘The closing of the border made our job very difficult. Before we had a lot of customers from everywhere. People from Idlib took a lot of things—people from Aleppo took a lot of things. Now the work has stopped, for the past two months.
‘The customers from Raqqa took more of the Afghani clothes, than the customers from Idlib and Aleppo - they took more military clothes.
Abu Zakour said the children working in his factory in Raqqa refused to join ISIS because they were afraid of the bombings and their families did not like ISIS
‘For ISIS, almost all the time they use the Afghani clothes, much more than the US army style. Usually we sell these clothes to the businessmen in Raqqa, if they are coming to our shop. But they do not say they are coming from Raqqa. But a lot of our clothes are getting to Raqqa. So how are they getting there? They are coming in this way.
‘The customers do not say that they are from Raqqa, because they think no one will sell them anything if they say they are from Raqqa, or that they are going back to Raqqa. For me, I will sell the stuff here—it doesn’t matter where my customers are from.
‘This [selling uniforms to people from Raqqa] is not my problem. Of course it is a problem—but I want to sell my clothes, and make a living.'
When MailOnline visited the Antakya factory in February, the boys smiled and chatted as they worked - stitching webbing to carry guns and ammunition, and putting together military backpacks instead of learning how to read and write at school. Even playing in the street is reserved for after their 12 hour day ends.
‘There are people who would rather have their children work for 100 Turkish Lira per week, and see this as better, because they don’t have any money,' said Abu Zakour, who has taken a number of children to work in his new factory 120 miles away in Gaziantep.
‘The only reason that these children work with me is for the money - If there were no war in Syria, these children would be in school—and school would be a much better option for them.
'I pay them 40 to 70 Turkish Lira - it depends on the worker, who is better or who does more. Sometimes the family sends very young children to work, and I don’t like to say no, so I let him work, to benefit from this.
‘Right now they are just working from day to day to survive. But maybe one day one of them will use these skills to learn how to be a tailor, and this is a useful trade. But right now it is just to make a living.’
ISIS have long used different styles of uniform to differentiate between their units – all black for parades, longer shalwar kameez ‘Afghani style’ for the brutal ISIS execution squads and front line fighters and all in varying shades of camouflage, tan and the notorious black
For the estimated 2.7 million Syrian refugees living in Turkey, this is an all too familiar reality.
According to UNICEF, almost 80 per cent of Syrian children living in Turkey do not go to school, and almost half of all Syrian children are missing out on an education.
In an investigation into the Syrian access to education in Turkey problem, Human Rights Watch reported that prior to the conflict, the primary school enrollment rate in Syria was 99 percent, and lower secondary school enrollment – grades 7 to 9 – was 82 percent.
Many Syrian children are unable to attend Turkish public schools because of the language barrier and others face bullying that discourages them from enrolling.
But a major problem for thousands of Syrian children is poverty with refugees of any age forbidden from working easily in Turkey. Adults can get work visas but their employers must apply on their behalf.
And for the estimated 2.7 million Syrian refugees living in Turkey, it is common for the children to work. According to UNICEF, almost 80 per cent of Syrian children living in Turkey do not go to school
For refugees it is a desperate situation, with kids at least as young as nine working a twelve hour shift that starts at 7.30am with an hour for lunch for a meagre 40 Turkish Lira – 85p an hour
It’s a desperate situation, with kids at least as young as nine working a twelve hour shift that starts at 7.30am with an hour for lunch for a meagre 40 Turkish Lira – 85p an hour.
And worse – some have had to leave their families behind in Antakya to work 120 miles away in Gaziantep, to sleep on the factory floor and in the care of their older colleagues.
‘Before I could take my things from Bab al-Hawa, but now they check everything, and I can no longer do this. When the border was open, a lot of customers were coming from Raqqa—but now it is not like how it was before, because the border is now closed.
‘In Gaziantep, I make civilian clothes for children, jeans, t-shirts, etc. Of course we made far more money with the military clothes than the civilian clothes. There is a big difference between the military clothes and the civilian clothes, but what can we do? Where there is work, there is work.’
‘I pay 40 or 70, it depends on the worker, who is better, who does more. Sometimes the family sends very young children to work, and I don’t like to say no, so I let him work, to benefit from this.’
‘Three of the children from the old factory said they would with us to Gaziantep, and their families said that they would follow us. But the children really didn’t want to go—they stayed behind with their families.
Abu Zakour, who runs the Turkish factory, was making military uniforms long before the violence broke out in 2012, and but it has fast become his primary business
Syrian children have also been reported to be working in Turkish factories that supply high street fashion stores H&M and Next. Pictured: Mohamed, 11, from Idlib has a job handing out free hot milk and doing small tasks at a dairy in Antakya, Turkey. He attends a Syrian school in the morning and then goes to work until 8 pm daily
Despite Turkey providing free health care for Syrians, many struggle to get by and cannot afford to send their children to school

A pipe bomb has exploded on the route of a road race in the US state of New Jersey, forcing the event to be cancelled but causing no injuries.
The bomb had been placed in a rubbish bin along the route of the 5km Semper Five run in Seaside Park.
The participants would have been in the area but the race had been delayed because of an unattended bag.
The charity race, in its third year, is in aid of Marines and sailors and this year attracted thousands of runners.
'Serious act of violence'
The blast occurred at about 09:30 local time (13:30 GMT) on a boardwalk area, which authorities sealed off.
State and federal law enforcement agencies are investigating the explosion.
NBC reported that a second device had been found. Ocean County sheriffs said that 30 homes near the site of the explosion were evacuated.
New Jersey State Police later said that no further explosive devices had been found, although officers "rendered safe" items in another rubbish bin, without giving further details.
Attorney General Christopher Porrino said: "We are grateful that nobody was injured, but this is a serious act of violence against the people of New Jersey. We will not rest until we find the person or persons responsible."
Three people were killed and 260 injured when bombs exploded at the finishing line of the Boston Marathon in 2013. | positive |
A Texas man made national headlines earlier this month when he claimed anti-police vandals spray-painted "Black Lives Matter" on his truck and slashed his seats.
But now police say Scott Lattin vandalized his own truck for attention and insurance money. Lattin was arrested Friday on charges of making a false police report, the Whitney Police Department reported in a press release.
The story began innocently enough. Lattin told Fox 4 he was the victim of vandalism on Sept. 8 because his family supports police. The Lattins had displayed blue and white ribbons on their picket fence at home, as well as the saying, "Police lives matter" on the back of their truck, in honor of fallen Deputy Darren Goforth, who was gunned down in Houston last month.
Lattin said he found his vehicle torn to shreds, with $5,000 worth of damage done to it. But his downfall may have been his interview with Fox 4. In it, he told reporters that someone had ripped out his glove box and slashed his seats, damage that police didn't see when Lattin initially filed a police report.
Fox 4 Scott Lattin said vandals caused $5,000 worth of damage to his truck.
"We had initial video when the officers took the report and then when we saw your story on Channel 4," Whitney Police Chief Chris Bentley told the station. "When we looked at those two videos, there were some differences in those and that led us to take the investigation into a different direction."
The chief also called the incident "very disturbing," and asked supporters to stop sending the Lattin family money. Lattin had set up a GoFundMe account that reportedly reached nearly $6,000 in donations, though it appears the page has been taken down.
Fox 4 cameras recorded Lattin's arrest, and the suspect denied the allegations.
"Absolutely not true!" he said. | positive |
Last year I was all gaga over Asus' bamboo computer. This year it is out, and so is most of the bamboo, due to "heat management" issues. There is some decorative bamboo around the touchpad but that is about it.
Last year we were more impressed by the guts than the case; it promised that "All of the plastic in it is labeled and recyclable; it is lined with cardboard; there are no paints, sprays or even electroplating used on its components." It was designed to be demountable and upgradable. Not a word about that, and the case looks awfully shiny.
No word about EPEAT, a middling processor and only a gig of RAM, which will barely run Vista, and a $ 2,000 price tag. What an underpowered greenwashing cop-out. ::Gizmodo via ::Hippyshopper | positive |
At Wednesday's Senate Intelligence Committee hearing , titled "Global Security Threats," Senators Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) and Mark Udall (D-Colo.) hinted that CIA agents might be engaging in abusive cyber operations against Americans. And CIA Director John Brennan did little to dispel the notion.
At the hearing, Wyden asked Brennan point-blank whether CIA activities are covered by the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (CFAA) , which prohibits hacking people's computers. Brennan shrugged off the question, saying that he wasn't familiar enough with the law to answer. Udall followed up by demanding that Brennan assure the committee that the "CIA does not conduct domestic spying and searches in violation of Executive Order 12333 ," which "prohibits the CIA from engaging in domestic spying and searches of U.S. citizens within our borders." Brennan said only that "the CIA follows the letter and spirit of the law … in terms of its responsibilities to collect intelligence that will keep this country safe."
If experience has taught us anything, it's that the interesting part of all of this may lie more in the questions than in their answers. Wyden and Udall's line of questioning recalls a now-famous Senate Intelligence Committee hearing last March. In that hearing, Wyden pointedly asked Director of National Intelligence Director James Clapper whether the NSA was collecting information on millions of Americans. Clapper responded with one word: "No." We learned how untrue that was when the first Snowden document was published on June 5, exposing the NSA's call-records program, which collects the metadata of virtually every call placed by every American.
This would not be the first time that the CIA has violated Americans' rights . In the 1950s, the CIA opened hundreds of thousands of Americans' letters, and in the 60s and 70s, its covert Domestic Operations Division engaged in widespread surveillance and infiltration of domestic civil rights and anti-war groups, through Operation CHAOS, Project RESISTANCE, and Project MERRIMAC.
Right now, we don't know whether the CIA is engaging in cyber-ops against Americans. But we do now know that the NSA's spy shenanigans range from sucking up massive amounts of internet traffic through upstream and downstream collection programs , undermining online security and encryption standards , infiltrating online gaming realms , and even scooping up detailed user information sent over smartphone apps . If Senators Wyden and Udall are sounding another warning call about another government agency running afoul of the law without regard to our privacy – we should be listening. | positive |

how will reveal the contents of the mummies using X-rays and CT scans
Total of 60 mummies will go on show at Manchester
From bandaged crocodiles to cats entombed in wooden effigies, a new exhibition seeks to unravel the mystery of animal mummies.
The ancient Egyptians carefully prepared the mummies in their millions as votive offerings to the gods.

From bandaged crocodiles to cats entombed in wooden effigies (both shown), a new exhibition seeks to unravel the mystery of animal mummies. The Gifts for the Gods exhibition at Manchester Museum will explain the background behind what today seems like a bizarre religious practice, in the context of life in Egypt
The Gifts for the Gods exhibition at Manchester Museum will explain the background behind what today seems like a bizarre religious practice, in the context of life in ancient Egypt.
While many people may imaging Ancient Egypt to be a sandy wilderness, it was a country of lush grassland and a taxidermy exhibit will show what the mummified animals would have looked like when they were alive.
The strangest one to go on display is a jackal mummy which was found to contain fragments of human bone.
But Lidija McKnight, Research Associate at the KNH Centre for Biomedical Egyptology at the University of Manchester told MailOnline: ‘The ancient Egyptians mummified just about every animal they could find from cats and dogs, to fish, crocodiles, rodents, birds and baboons.
Thousands of years after the mummies were made, the show will reveal the contents of the unusual mummies using X-rays and CT scans, for example. An X-ray (pictured left) of a cat mummy (right) is shown
‘Perhaps the more surprising are the mummies which don’t contain animals themselves, or which contain more than species wrapped together.’
While it’s been known for a while that some animal mummies contain no real animal, she said this didn’t matter to the Egyptians that bought them as offerings to gods.
THE GREAT ANIMAL MUMMY SCANDAL During research into the animal mummies set to go on display in Manchester Museum's Gifts for the Gods exhibition, experts uncovered an ancient scandal. The high-tech scans revealed that a third of the religious offerings were empty, or packed with mud sticks and reeds in the shape of animals. A third contained well-preserved complete animals while a further third consisted of partial remains - but the rest were empty. Scientists said those involved in the industry may simply have struggled to keep up with demand. Dr Lidija McKnight, Egyptologist at the University of Manchester, told MailOnline: 'Early excavators who unwrapped mummies on site documented that some bundles did not contain complete animals or in fact any animal at all, so this in itself is not new,' she said. 'What this research has shown by looking at a large group is what percentage seem to contain bones and which don't.' During research into the animal mummies set to go on display in Manchester Museum's Gifts for the Gods exhibition, experts uncovered an ancient scandal. The high-tech scans revealed that a third of the religious offerings were empty, or packed with mud sticks and reeds in the shape of animals (pictured) 'The early preconception - and for quite some time afterwards - was that these empty mummies were fakes, but we now believe that there is more likely to be much more to it. 'She said that sometimes the linen parcels were actually padded out with items from the mummy-maker’s home. 'The material being used to create these mummies would have held special significance in its own right to the Egyptians. 'What is more likely to have mattered is that the outside of the mummy looked recognisable to the gods to which it was offered.' ‘Basically, organic material such as mud, sticks and reeds, that would have been lying around the embalmers workshops, and also things like eggshells and feathers, which were associated with the animals, but aren't the animals themselves.’ There was a huge demand for animal mummies, which, unlike human mummies, were classed as religious offerings. Millions of examples have been unearthed in Egypt in vast catacombs containing creatures such as dogs, cats and monkeys. The demand was so big that animals were mass-bred specifically for the industry. But many embalmers still left their mummies empty. Dr McKnight said this may not have meant it was a scam and that those who commissioned the mummies may have known in advance they would be empty.
Work by the University of Manchester has shown that as many as a third of the mummies studied have no animal material, a third have parts of animals and the remaining third do have an animal inside.
‘All animal species mummified by the ancient Egyptians were deemed to have close associations with gods, mainly because of characteristics they were seen to share with the deities, or through their appearance at significant sites,’ she explained.
Cats, for example, were sacred to Bastet who was the goddess of warfare, while jackals were associated with Anubis, the god of embalming.

‘Ibis birds were associated with Thoth, the god of wisdom and writing,’ Dr McKnight said.
Egypt’s many gods could take animal forms to express their superhuman nature.
THE ANCIENT EGYPTIAN ANIMAL BIO BANK PROJECT The Ancient Egyptian Animal Bio Bank Project based at the University of Manchester aims to catalogue consistent data from animal mummies in museum collections outside Egypt. Currently, this includes over 800 individual animal mummies from collections in Britain, Europe and the United States.
The exhibition explores how images of animals - pictures, statuettes or mummies - could be used to communicate with the gods.
Animal mummies and bronzes statuettes were the most common votive offerings, or gifts to the god and the exhibition will also include a recreation of a subterranean animal catacomb that visitors will be able to enter.
The atmospheric, narrow room will be lined with pots containing votive animal mummies, centred on a focal point for worship.
It is not clear exactly how the animal mummies would have fitted into religious rituals because there is little surviving evidence about how votive worship worked.
‘It is believed that animal mummies would have been symbolic offerings to be given to the gods,’ Dr McKnight continued.
‘So, the person offering the votive was not worshipping the animal itself, nor the mummy, but it was seen as a recognisable and suitable offering to take their prayers to the gods.

‘Their role can be seen as a communication device in personal religion.’
While great care was taken in embalming humans, the practice of votive animal mummifications was hasty in comparison.
THE ANIMAL MUMMIES OF SAQQARA The British were fascinated by a ‘romantic’ concept of ancient Egypt, as depicted in 19th Century paintings. British Victorians were intrigued by the mysteries of the animal mummies. Alongside the pyramids of Giza, one of the main tourist attractions in Egypt during the 18th and 19th centuries was the ‘Tombs of the Birds’ - a catacomb at the site of Saqqara. The catacomb was subsequently lost and only re-identified in the 1960s by a British team. Photographs, archive material and travel journals on display at the exhibition will show how the animal mummies were excavated and selected by archaeologists and museum experts, including how they were collected and distributed as curios and souvenirs. The mummies ended up in the UK through excavators, individuals working on behalf of larger museums to provide stock items, collectors and travellers as portable souvenirs. ‘Some cats in museums arrived on ships in the 1890s at the port of Liverpool where they were used as fertiliser on the fields,’ Dr McKnight explained. ‘Some of these were rescued and sent to museums. ‘The important thing with animal mummies is they are small and were seen as a good souvenir to be brought home by early travellers to Egypt as curiosities.’
‘The animals themselves are not extensively treated,’ Dr McKnight said.
‘There is little sign of natron [a mixture of sodium carbonate decahydrate] being applied, certainly not to the extent it was in humans, and a simple application of an emulsion of beeswax and tree resins.
‘In short, the preservation of the animals was simple,’ she explained.
Elswehere, radiography suggests that evisceration - the removal of the internal organs - was often not carried out, presumably because of their size and because the animals were mummified quickly.
But, some of the decorative styles applied to animals does mirror what we see in human mummies for certain periods.
Animal mummies were sometimes given elaborate wrappings, sometimes with extravagantly criss-crossed bandages, so their construction would have taken a great deal of time.
The exhibition will look at the scientific study of animal mummies of which the University of Manchester is a leader.
Using wrapped, partially wrapped and completely unwrapped animal mummies from a variety of UK collections, the exhibition will show what they look like inside and in detail using photography, radiography, CT scans and light microscopy.
The display will combine mummified specimens such as jackals, crocodiles, cats and birds with cultural artefacts such as stone sculpture and bronze statuettes, alongside 19th Century works of art and never-seen-before archives romanticising Ancient Egypt.
Dr McKnight said: This exhibition will showcase the role played by the British in the discovery, excavation, collection, curation and scientific research of this understudied subject.

‘Ibis birds were associated with Thoth, the god of wisdom and writing,’ Dr McKnight said. This mummy is labelled and decorated with hieroglyphs that look relatively modern
‘The University of Manchester, with its long history in Egyptian mummy research, is leading the field; helping to shed light on the material remains of this ancient practice and, hopefully, to reveal more about how and why these animal mummies were produced.’
The exhibition, Gifts for the Gods: Animal Mummies Revealed, is the first exhibition on animal mummies to be held in the UK.
Dr Campbell Price, Curator of Egypt and Sudan, Manchester Museum said: ‘It offers the chance to reunite mummified material from different archaeological sites for the first time in over a century.
‘It will feature over 60 mummies, including many never before seen on public display.’ | positive |
How supermarkets have ruined chicken
Susan Holtham Blocked Unblock Follow Following Jun 16, 2017
The real cost of a £3 chicken.
The average price of a UK chicken is cheaper than the average price of a pint of beer.
Here’s the price supermarkets don’t want you to know about:
91% of chickens sold in the UK are allowed by law to have an A4 sheet sized allowance of space in a shed.
Chickens are kept in constant dim light day and night to discourage rest and speed up growth.
Antibiotic use is routine resulting in 1/4 of chickens testing positive for antibiotic resistant e-coli.
2.2m chickens consumed daily in the UK. Around a billion chickens are slaughtered every year.
The supermarket Tesco selling a whole fresh chicken for £3.00
Every day in Britain we eat 2.2 million chickens. Poultry accounts for half the meat eaten in the UK — but how is it possible to sell a whole bird at such an extraordinarily low price? Industrial farming has made it possible for a bird to be housed, fed, slaughtered, processed, packaged and transported to a supermarket shelf near you, all for a price lower than an afterwork beer.
Here’s how factory farming has transformed the humble chicken we eat into something so unrecognisable, we may as well give it a new name.
Supermarkets enable a system where:
A whole fresh chicken is cheaper than a pint of beer.
The average price of a pint in the UK is £3.47. The average cost of a whole chicken weighing a minimum of 1.35kg from four of the leading supermarkets is £3.15. Chicken is a live animal, whereas beer isn’t.
The supermarket has made the whole chicken an everyday staple, such as bread or milk. In the race to the bottom, retailers will do anything to compete against price and keep them low for their customers, particularly for core staple products. If that means paying producers less (remember the nation’s dairy farmers ‘milk trolley challenge’ protest?), producing products of questionable quality or even using fake farm names to suggest provenance, then so be it.
Intensively reared chicken destined for the supermarket
94% of chicken in the UK comes from intensively reared birds.
Intensive methods mean UK chicken farms are allowed to house up to 39 kilos per square metre — that’s about 17 birds per square metre. Probably not what you consider when picking up a bird for the Sunday roast. “Intensive chicken farming goes on behind closed doors,” says Dil Peeling, campaigns director at charity Compassion in World Farming (CWF). “It’s hidden from people. They still have this image of chickens scratching around in a farmyard.”
It’s easy to assume that for every intensively produced chicken there are plenty of free-range and organic birds in the market. However, free-range accounts for just 5% and organic 1% of UK chicken production.
Any wizened farmer will tell you that you get out of the land what you put into it. The same goes for the varied range of chicken farming practices, reflected in the price you pay. You can expect to pay around £9.50 for a free range chicken and £12.80 for an organic one. These chickens differ dramatically in price to intensively reared birds due to how they are raised, and what they are fed.
A factory farmed chicken is raised in a warehouse and fed on grain grown elsewhere using environmentally damaging production methods. A slow-grown or organic chicken on the other hand will spend most of its life outdoors. For feed, it’ll rely on a mix of pasture, grain and hedgerow treats such as berries and seeds.
24% of UK supermarket chicken samples tested positive for antibiotic resistant E-coli.
The intense crowding of chickens in factory farming increases the likelihood of sickness and infection, thereby precipitating the use of preventive antibiotics. It’s estimated 50% of all antibiotics in the UK is given to farm animals. Experts predict that globally, 10 million people a year could die from antibiotic resistant infections by 2050. The world is waking up to the dangers of drug resistance as a result of the overuse of antibiotics and recognising a need for improvements in animal stewardship. Is time ticking for industrial chicken farming?
In 2016 researchers found superbugs on the shelves of all seven major UK supermarkets. Cambridge University Professor Mark Holmes told The Guardian newspaper: “The levels of resistant E. coli that we have found are worrying. Every time someone falls ill, instead of just getting a food poisoning bug, they might also be getting a bug that is antibiotic resistant”.
Slow-grown chicken farmers Nick & Jacob at their farm, Fosse Meadows. A world away from the average supermarket bird.
But there is an alternative:
A better tasting bird has a better quality of life.
Watery breasts that like slice butter, weak bones that bear no resistance, and meat with little, if no flavour. These sacrifices to taste, quality and flavour are a direct result of intensive farming. Chickens reared before World War II were primarily laying hens for egg production. Rationing was lifted in 1954, prompting increased production of chickens raised for meat.
Professor Andrew C. Goodley describes in his report ‘The chicken, the factory farm and the supermarket’ how the independent poultry trade ‘disappeared’ during the war and “it was retailers, not the Ministry of Agriculture, who pressed British poultry farmers to follow American methods, exploit economies of scale and so drive down the price of chicken.”
Farmers are embracing slow-grown chicken.
Small-scale poultry farmers Nick and Jacob at Fosse Meadows Farm in Leicestershire are doing things differently. They believe the best quality chicken comes from slow-grown birds and sell direct to customers across London at farmers’ markets and online via Farmdrop. Their birds are grown for at least 81 days. Nearly double the average slaughter age of 42 days in the EU. Author of The Ethical Carnivore Louise Gray notes how “industry ‘leaders’ are growing ‘fully grown’ chickens in 35 days…raised so fast they barely have time to move around, let alone develop fat, are tasteless.”
Fosse Meadows follow the slow-grown French Label Rouge way of farming which is highly regarded as an exemplary traditional method of raising poultry. “Our birds roam further and they don’t just sit and eat all day. Your supermarket free range chickens won’t be doing these things because their legs aren’t strong enough” says Nick.
The ability to roam free also impacts the taste and texture of the meat. Fosse’s birds moves their muscles more than those kept indoors and enjoy a more varied diet. “Our birds have thicker skin and a much better fat content with lots of flavour in that fat” Nick explains. “Their bones have developed properly and are much stronger. The meat is a lot firmer too and has more structure. It is totally different.”
Can chicken be made good again?
Every food purchase you make is a vote for the kind of food system you want. Buying sustainably produced chicken, knowing who produced it and also holding them accountable is a step to a better system.
Author of The Omnivore’s Dilemma Michael Pollan wrote, “eating industrial meat takes an almost heroic act of not knowing, or, now forgetting.” We haven’t forgotten. More consumers prove they care about these issues — by proving it with their pound. Big retailers will be forced to make changes that are better for our health, and our chickens. | positive |
Nets fans filed into the Barclays Center last night to witness the continued success of Mason Plumlee and he delivered for the Brooklyn faithful. The Nets put away the Denver Nuggets with a late burst, earning their 12th win of the season in come-from-behind fashion.
Joe Johnson also showed up, and with a vendetta for scoring the basketball in high volumes that fans have grown accustom to over the past three seasons. Johnson, still working his way back into the lineup after a few games off had an efficient night, scoring 27 points on 11-19 from the field. This marked the third straight game where Johnson shot over 50% from the field and seems to be regaining his touch from last season.
The “Joe Jesus” we’ve come to know is maintaining his confidence shooting the ball and it sure is a sight to see. Johnson drained clutch baskets late in the fourth quarter to keep the Nuggets at a reasonable distance, something the Nets haven’t had the luxury of this season.
Joe Johnson scored 27 points, Plumlee added 19 points & a career-high 13 rebounds, as the Brooklyn Nets beat the Denver Nuggets 102 – 96. — Hakeem Lawal (@Hakeem_lawal) December 24, 2014
In the second half, Plumlee and Johnson put the team on their collective shoulders and Coach Hollins rode his two horses to victory. On the strength of a scoring barrage from Ty Lawson, the Nuggets shook off their early struggles to build a double-digit lead by the end of the third. Hollins used minimal substitutions late in the game giving extended minutes to Sergey Karasev and Jarrett Jack, who’s filling in for the injured Deron Williams. In fact, as the Nuggets shaved the lead down to six in the closing seconds, Karasev jumped in front of a lazy perimeter pass to seal the victory with a breakaway lay-in.
Even with the absence of Williams, and Kevin Garnett and Brook Lopez on the bench in the final minutes, the Nets were able to finish a team off in crunch time. Speaking of Lopez, he was finally active last night but relegated to the bench to start the game to continue with the Plumlee-Garnett starting front court. In limited minutes (eight), he tallied six points and four boards although not touching the floor in the fourth quarter.
Hollins is easing Lopez back into the lineup but doesn’t want to disrupt the chemistry these starters have developed in the past two weeks. Karasev has been the real surprise, racking up 12 points and 5 rebounds in another spot start.
“He’s doing some stuff that I haven’t seen Mason do since I’ve been here…and it’s good to see.” – Lionel Hollins
The turning point in the game occurred in the 4th when Mason Plumlee, the newly anointed ‘Beast Incarnate’ denied Timofey Mozgov at the rim while attempting an easy dunk and scored a reverse lay-up on his next offensive possession even though he was fouled by Nate Robinson. A five-point swing that would eventually cut the lead to three, the Nets would surge towards the finish by ripping off an 11-2 run in the closing minutes.
Plumlee was on another level last night. His contributions on the offensive and defensive end were crucial to the Nets’ success on Tuesday night. He was altering shots, rebounding and finishing at the basket to provide a jolt to the entire team. It is clear as to why the Nets deemed him untouchable when Sacramento inquired about him in the Deron Williams trade. The crowd has surely taken notice as well. Every Plumlee dunk or block was met with a raucous applause, especially in the second half as the crowd came alive during the Nets comeback.
Plumlee’s confidence on the court is at an all-time high in his young career. He gets the shots that he wants by imposing his supreme athletic ability against his defenders and is adding more complexity to his offensive game. His contributions sparked Brooklyn’s revival last season when KG’s injuries thrust him into the starting lineup and it appears as though we may be witnessing a repeat performance at the expense of Brook Lopez.
Interesting enough, Lionel Hollins suffered a quick dose of short-term memory loss in his post game presser, as he was confused as to why the reporters hadn’t yet asked him about Brook Lopez. The only problem, he couldn’t even remember his name. Although Plumlee has been fantastic in a starting role lately, Lopez will need to factor into a significant role once again if the Nets are going to make any noise later in the season. The experiment with Brook starting on the bench will eventually run its course but it shows Hollins’ commitment to his players that are producing on a nightly basis to preserve team chemistry and cohesiveness out on the hardwoord.
As the first third of the season has come to a close, Brooklyn is a paltry 12-15, desperately clinging to the 8th playoff seed in the East. Poised to shed their mediocre record, the Nets will have to parlay their recent success into wins with a favorable schedule approaching. The goal of this stretch must be to get back over the .500 mark while sustaining their overall team health. It seems anytime the Nets get any momentum going, they are saddled by a slew of injuries.
Go Nets, and Happy Holidays. | positive |

The world’s sixth mass extinction apocalypse is due to begin around 2100, claims a professor at MIT.
According to Daniel Rothman, professor of geophysics in the MIT Department of Earth, Atmospheric and Planetary Sciences and co-director of MIT’s Lorenz Center, we are fast approaching “thresholds of catastrophe” in the carbon cycle which make doom almost inevitable.
In a paper published today in Science Advances, he proposes that mass extinction occurs if one of two thresholds are crossed: For changes in the carbon cycle that occur over long timescales, extinctions will follow if those changes occur at rates faster than global ecosystems can adapt. For carbon perturbations that take place over shorter timescales, the pace of carbon-cycle changes will not matter; instead, the size or magnitude of the change will determine the likelihood of an extinction event. Taking this reasoning forward in time, Rothman predicts that, given the recent rise in carbon dioxide emissions over a relatively short timescale, a sixth extinction will depend on whether a critical amount of carbon is added to the oceans. That amount, he calculates, is about 310 gigatons, which he estimates to be roughly equivalent to the amount of carbon that human activities will have added to the world’s oceans by the year 2100.
If we get a repeat of the Great Dying, 275 million years ago, what this means basically is that we are all going to die. Even you.
But before you ring up your grandchildren and warn them to cancel the marquee they’ve booked for their 100th birthday celebrations, perhaps a note of caution should be attached to professor Rothman’s cheery prediction.
First, let’s not forget it that it is flatly contradicted by the recent bombshell study suggesting that the effects of carbon dioxide on global warming have been overstated, that the computer models are running “too hot” and that we’re not about to fry any time soon.
Second, Rothman appears to have given himself so much margin for error as to render his doomsday projection meaningless.
Does this mean that mass extinction will soon follow at the turn of the century? Rothman says it would take some time — about 10,000 years — for such ecological disasters to play out. However, he says that by 2100 the world may have tipped into “unknown territory.” “This is not saying that disaster occurs the next day,” Rothman says. “It’s saying that, if left unchecked, the carbon cycle would move into a realm which would be no longer stable, and would behave in a way that would be difficult to predict. In the geologic past, this type of behavior is associated with mass extinction.”
R-i-g-h-t. So what you’re saying, Dr Rothman, is that you’re allowing plus or minus 10,000 years’ leeway for this mass extinction which won’t definitely happen but which “may” happen.
Do you know what? Even though I’m not a professor of geophysics at MIT, I think even I could have come up with a scientific theory as rock-solid and testable as that one. | positive |
CINCINNATI (WKRC) - A new germ fighting tool could keep people from getting sick.
It is prime cold and flu season and the new tool, a high tech robot, could not only protect against the viruses but many others far more deadly. It is literally a breakthrough with light. It's called a Xenex and it uses a UV light system to breakthrough bad germs. It can help wipe out bacteria and viruses.
Christ Hospital will be getting five of them delivered Wednesday, January 18; the largest number any hospital in Ohio will have. Deborah Hayes says it's one of the most powerful tools available for patient safety, shooting out ultraviolet beams of light at everything in it's path.
Hayes has a big job as chief operating officer in the hospital. She wants patients healed when they come through the doors, not harmed with infections they could potentially pick up.
"The CDC estimates that hospital acquired infections are the 9th leading cause of death," said Hayes.
The goal is not to have the Xenex replace many of the steps known to help fight infection, instead it is one more tool in the arsenal needed to fight some of the newer infections.
Mary Nicholson, infection control at the Christ Hospital, said, "We plan to use it for all patients with drug resistant like MRSA, all those terrible bugs you are hearing about and definitely for those c-difficile patient rooms."
The Xenex, lightstrike, germ zapping robot showing promise in reducing even the deadly strains of anthrax and Ebola on surfaces. While the goal is always to zap any or all infections in a hospital down to nothing, the team will now continue to track the numbers.
Each of the robots is about $100,000. But if officials cost-benefit those dollars, according to the company that makes the Xenex, their research shows if people prevent five patients from major infections they've likely recovered much of that cost.

One Year Out from November 2016, California State-Level Candidates and Ballot Measures Have Raised Over $43M

November 9, 2015 -- As a number of local elections unfolded last week, money continued to flow to the state-level candidates and measures that will appear on California’s 2016 and future ballots. One year out from November 2016, California state-level candidates and ballot measures have raised $43.6 million since the beginning of the 2015-2016 election cycle.
Candidates for state-level office in California have raised $35.5 million between January 1, 2015 and November 5, 2015.

Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D) and other state officials have run into obstacles in efforts to rescue the Chester Upland School District, his spokesman says. (Matt Rourke/AP)
Employees of the Chester Upland School District in Pennsylvania will show up for work on the first day of school next Wednesday, but they don’t expect to get paid.
The district, which has been struggling with financial and academic problems for decades, is on the edge of insolvency and cannot make payroll, state and local officials have said.
So on Thursday, about 200 members of the local teachers union voted unanimously to work without pay as the new school year opens. They were joined by secretaries, school bus drivers, janitors and administrators.
“The thought of it is very scary,” said John Shelton, 60, dean of students at the district’s only middle school and a 23-year employee. “It’s mind-boggling because there’s truly uncertainty. But we are all in agreement that we will come to work, so that the children can get an education.”
Shelton, who will be able to count on some income from his moonlighting job as a janitor, said he and his colleagues are willing to sacrifice because the students rely on the schools. “Some of our children, this is all they have as far as safety, their next nourishing meal, people who are concerned for them,” he said. “We are dedicated to these children.”
The district is about 20 miles west of Philadelphia and serves roughly 3,300 students, most them low-income.
A similar financial collapse occurred in the district in 2012, and the teachers also agreed to work without pay then. In the end, a federal judge ordered the state to pay the district, and lawmakers arranged a bailout, so that employees’ paychecks were just a couple of days late.
[Pennsylvania school district on verge of collapse (and using free labor to stay open)]
Chester Upland’s current fiscal crisis, however, is more serious, said Jeff Sheridan, a spokesman for Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf (D).
“They are in such dire financial shape right now,” he said, “unless something drastic happens . . . the school district is in danger of not existing.”
The governor is grateful to the teachers and other employees who are willing to work without pay, Sheridan said, adding, “It’s helpful and we commend them.”
But it’s not a solution, he said.
Chester Upland is facing a $22 million deficit that could grow to more than $46 million without major intervention, Sheridan said. He blamed several factors: local mismanagement, state cuts in education spending under the previous governor and a state law that requires traditional school districts to pay charter schools significant amounts for students who live within their boundaries but attend charters.
Public charter schools, which are publicly funded but privately run, have been growing to the point that they educate nearly half the students who live in the Chester Upland district. Chester Upland pays local charter schools about $64 million in tuition payments — more than it receives in state school aid.
State law includes a funding formula that is especially generous toward special education students who attend charters; Chester Upland has to spend $40,000 per student per year for every special education student from its district who enrolls in a charter school. That’s twice the amount the district spend on its own students with special education needs and more than any other district in the state, Sheridan said.
Chester Community Charter School, a nonprofit institution managed by a for-profit company, is the largest charter in the district. It began in 1998 with 100 students and now enrolls 2,900 students, nearly as many as attend the traditional public school system.
This week, a Pennsylvania judge denied a request by Wolf and Chester Upland officials to reduce the district’s payments for special education to charters by about half, or nearly $21 million, in the 2015-16 school year.
Wolf based his request on a recommendation by a 2013 bipartisan legislative commission that the law should be changed to bring payments to charter schools more in line with what it costs traditional public schools to educate special needs students. The committee also recommended lower payments to online charter schools, which currently get the same per-pupil payments that brick and mortar schools receive. That change would save the Chester Upland district an additional $4 million a year, state officials said.
While the judge denied Wolf’s request to change the charter reimbursements, he did approve other aspects of a recovery plan for Chester Upland, including a forensic audit, the appointment of a financial turnaround specialist and restructuring a loan agreement with the state Department of Education.
Chester Upland’s financial problems date to 1994, when it was first classified by the state as being in “economic distress.” Between 2003 and 2009, it overspent by $25.1 million, and between 2009-10 and 2012, it overspent by an additional $19 million. Since 2010, it has received more than $74 million in state bailouts.
Wolf and other state officials are trying to come up with another plan to rescue the Chester Upland district, Sheridan said. “We’re reviewing our options,” he said. “At this point, we don’t have a final plan.”
Shelton said the district’s teachers and staff are counting on government officials to find a solution.
“I cannot believe the governor or legislature would let public education fail just for the sake of a dollar,” he said.

Today's coverage from Post correspondents around the world | positive |
Throughout the summer, we will be taking a look inside the state of the Texas Tech football program. We will analyze each position as a whole and look at the players that have left the team, the current starting players, and how each position is set up for the future. We now move to the other side of the ball as we look at the big boys getting after the quarterback.
Past
Last year was a very rough and difficult year for this unit. The group had a grand total of 22 tackles for loss, five sacks, and one forced fumble which ranked among the worst in the country and the worst for the Red Raiders in over a decade. To make matters worse, one of the few bright spots for this team last year Ondre Pipkins, graduated and moved on to the NFL. We also saw once heralded 5 star recruit Breiden Fehoko transfer to LSU after a disappointing sophomore season that showed no improvement.
Present
Luckily for the Red Raiders, Pipkins and Fehoko are the only players to leave. Everyone on the D line will be back in 2017 including edge rusher Kolin Hill. Hill, a Notre Dame transfer, led all lineman in tackles and was consistent throughout the entire season last year. and will look to use his power and experience to hurt opposing quarterback. Broderick Washington is another player that impressed mightily through the spring, even beating Fehoko for the starting DT position. Washington and Mychaleon Thomas, both over 6’2” and 300 lbs, could give Tech the size inside the team needs. This unit is one of the deepest and experienced groups on the team. Talor Nunez, Zach Barnes, and Lonzell Gillmore all played major minutes last season and impressed in the spring. The defensive line was the main force during the spring and a big reason why the defense won two out of the three scrimmages. If this continues through this upcoming season, we will see major improvement.
Future
As experienced as this unit is, there is a good amount of youth on the roster. The monster recruiting class of 2016 which brought in five high school D lineman are all improving, including Joe Wallace. Wallace, the only freshman lineman not to get red-shirted, showed his potential last season and the force he can bring to this unit. Houston Miller, Noah Jones, and Nick McCann all will now have the opportunity to show their ability with four years of eligibility for them. It looks like Gibbs and new D line coach Terrance Jamison have gotten started on adding more pieces. Last week the Red Raiders received commitments from Cameron Valentine, a DE from Foster, John Graves, a DT from Lancaster, Jaylon Hutchins, a DT from Forney, and John Scott, a DT from Hitchcock. Pair these guys up with the 2016 class and it looks like Gibbs might finally have something in place for the coming years up front. | positive |

The New York Times is reporting that Roger Ailes, the former chairman of Fox News ousted last month over sexual harassment allegations, is preparing Donald Trump for the presidential debates. From the Times:
Mr. Ailes is aiding Mr. Trump’s team as it turns its attention to the first debate with Hillary Clinton, the Democratic nominee, on Sept. 26 on Long Island, according to three people briefed on the move, who insisted on anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the matter.
Two of them said that Mr. Ailes’s role could extend beyond the debates, which Mr. Trump’s advisers see as crucial to vaulting him back into strong contention for the presidency after a series of self-inflicted wounds that have eroded his standing in public opinion polls.
It had previously been speculated that Ailes, who reportedly left Fox with a $40 million exit deal, could jump to a role on the Trump campaign after his resignation on July 21. Prior to launching Fox News, Ailes had worked extensively as a consultant on political campaigns, including the presidential campaigns of Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, and George H.W. Bush.

As the Times recounts, Trump refused to comment explicitly on whether Ailes would be joining his campaign in the days after his departure from Fox:
Asked point-blank by Chuck Todd of NBC News on July 24 if Mr. Ailes was going to advise the campaign, Mr. Trump replied, “I don’t want to comment. But he’s been a friend of mine for a long time.” He called Mr. Ailes a “very, very good person” and said, “A lot of people are thinking he’s going to run my campaign.”
According to Vox, at least 21 women have accused Ailes of sexual harassment, including former Fox hosts Gretchen Carlson and Andrea Tantaros, current Fox anchor Megyn Kelly, who has publicly clashed with Trump, and former Fox booker Laurie Luhn, who alleges she was harassed and subjected to “psychological torture” by Ailes for more than 20 years, as reported by Gabriel Sherman in New York magazine. Ailes has also come under fire for revelations that he used Fox resources to conduct personal vendettas against enemies, including journalists, often with the help of private investigators.
Update, Aug. 16, 2016, at 1 p.m.: Trump spokeswoman Hope Hicks has denied the New York Times’ report on Ailes advising the Trump campaign in a statement to NBC: | positive |

I’ve been a school librarian for 20 years, working in ten different schools. One of the most important parts of my job is connecting students and teachers with great books. We’re lucky to live in a world where fantastic children’s books are published every week. Every day I review a book published this year. Although I may mention things about books that I don’t like (“Cons”), I only choose books for which I feel I can give a mostly positive review. I try to find books that would appeal to kids and/or fit in well with the elementary school curriculum. Most books come from my local public library. I am an Amazon affiliate, so if you click on the link at the end of a review, I get a small commission. This blog is mostly a labor of love, but getting a little money for the work I put into it is nice too! A note about self-published books: while I understand the difficulties of marketing your self-published books, I do not review them on this blog. It is all I can do to keep up with the books coming from the mainstream publishers. Please feel free to spread the word about this blog to parents, grandparents, teachers, children, or anyone else you think might enjoy it. I hope you will comment as you see fit, and share anything you think might make the reviews more useful. Happy reading!

Just last Monday, May 1st, I self-published my first-ever children’s book, “An Almond All Alone”, available on Amazon as both an eBook and as a Paperback version as well.

Tad is a red headed boy of twelve, growing up on an isolated homestead ranch in the desert southwest of the 1850’s. The ranch is far from any neighbors, and young Tad longs for a friend. Tad’s father has broken his leg, just as the family’s spring threatens to run dry. With summer coming, the family needs to dig a new well, or they will run out of water. Without a reliable source of water, they will lose their ranch. Tad is too young to dig the well on his own, so the family’s future looks bleak. Until one day a stranger rides in, offering to help the struggling family. Although the man’s past is unknown, and mysterious, the family has no choice but to take him on. Tad’s parent’s have found someone that might help them to save their ranch, and lonely young Tad hopes he might finally have found a friend.

Fingerman: a Saga in Imagination by Misha Monteiro-Benson In a time when many lament the lack of imagination, the Fingerman story is not only a cracking good story but it is also the testament to the depth of imagination possessed by Matteo Moro, aged 8. Together with his father, Mauro Moro, the two embarked on a labour of love and fun which culminated in the illustrated adventure Captain Fingerman and the Boring Galaxy. As Matteo’s tutor and guest in the Moro home, I watched as father and son worked together on the dining table with rolls of sketch paper and the all-important computer. Their process is a story worth telling. Typically Matteo bouncing up and down with enthusiasm would describe scenes to Mauro who would employ his considerable artistic skill to reproducing Matteo’s scenes on paper. However, Matteo is an exacting creator and would reject sketches which did not fit his vision of the scene. This journey of creation began in an unlikely situation. While on holiday, the family realised with considerable horror that young Matteo had not brought any toys. However, in the absence of plastic and metal distractions, the family turned their fingers into little men to play with. Fingerman was born. Matteo has an active and vivid imagination but also a thirst for knowledge. So with his father, he took Fingerman as a character and added him to a subject which he finds fascinating. The cosmos, the infinite span of space and all the wonders of the universe. Fingerman’s character developed and grew with the Moro family and became another member. A naturally naive sometimes unpredictable but an adorable addition to the family. However, Fingerman must leave the confines of the Moro home. For the call of the final frontier is strong and by Matteo’s order he must take command of the starship BananaStar as her Captain to explore deep space and to poke what no finger has poked before. Captain Fingerman faces the unknown and will find untold wonders but also threats, old and new. Join the crew of the starship BananaStar and follow Captain Fingerman in an adventure full of surprises and good laughs in the illustrated saga, Captain Fingerman and the Boring Galaxy!

Geert Wilders of the Netherlands reveals a resurgent far right in Europe
By Anthony Faiola,
AMSTERDAM — Europe’s most controversial politician lives in a government safe house fitted with a panic room and guarded round the clock. A self-avowed foe of Islam who compared the Koran to Adolf Hitler’s “Mein Kampf” and called for a ban on Muslim immigrants, he travels by bulletproof car and rarely talks with journalists — choosing instead to funnel messages directly to supporters via Twitter and a personal blog.
But when Geert Wilders — dubbed “Mozart” for his bleached-blond bouffant hair — brought down the Dutch government last week in an extraordinary show of force by Europe’s resurgent far right, it wasn’t over his high-
profile rhetorical war on Islam. Instead, the clash was over his emphasis on another belief that he and his Freedom Party now see as almost equally dangerous: an integrated Europe.
The rise of Wilders in the Netherlands is a cautionary tale for a continent in the midst of a debt crisis and where painful recessions, soaring unemployment and rising apathy among youths are fueling the strongest swell of support in decades for anti-
immigrant nationalists.
For more than a generation, European political elites have sought to fuse the region by adopting the euro and a series of treaties that virtually erased national borders across a vast swath of the continent. But in the recent surge of the nationalist far right, and to a lesser extent the far left, European leaders are confronting not only a backlash to a united Europe but also a troubling new hurdle in their efforts to resolve the 21 / 2 -year-old debt crisis.
From France to Austria and Greece to Finland, the popularity of nationalists is growing as politicians such as Wilders tap into voter rage over both the crisis and the proposed cure being pushed by mighty Germany: severe rounds of government cutbacks and difficult economic overhauls to restore investor confidence in Europe’s governments.
That austerity crusade is in danger of derailing, with even moderate leaders, including Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti, now saying that deep cuts are driving Europe’s economies into the ground. Other critics, meanwhile, argue that the social pain from austerity is playing into the hands of politicians on the far right and left, who are portraying the cuts as part of a pattern that has seen European integration eat away at living standards across traditionally affluent Western Europe.
Even German Chancellor Angela Merkel has softened her rhetoric in recent days, playing up the need for policies that favor growth, though she continues to view fiscal discipline as a necessary tonic for Europe’s troubles. European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, also a fiscal hawk, called last week for a “growth compact,” and European leaders appear likely to work out modest policy changes in late June.
In the turmoil of the debt crisis, ideas long held by European radicals are going mainstream as centrist politicians seek to find their way in a sea of discontent. In France, for instance, Marine Le Pen of the National Front stunned observers by winning almost one out of every five votes in the first round of presidential elections a week ago on a platform that would have seen Paris withdraw from the euro zone and buck the German-led austerity drive. Now on the ropes against his Socialist opponent, President Nicolas Sarkozy is currying favor with the far right ahead of the decisive second round of voting, vowing to pull France out of the region’s open-borders treaty if negotiations underway to stem the tide of transplants from poorer quarters of Europe do not succeed in the months ahead.
In crisis-devastated Greece, opinion polls ahead of parliamentary elections Sunday show that the once-obscure Golden Dawn party — which wants to plant land mines on the country’s borders to protect against illegal immigrants — is on a surprise track to win seats. Austria’s far-right Freedom Party is running strong in opinion polls, and Finland’s nationalist True Finns party took a record 19 percent of the vote last year.
“It is now only a matter of time before one of these parties gets into power and tries to pull the rug out from under the euro,” said Maurice de Hond, a leading Dutch political pollster. “If it doesn’t happen in the Netherlands, it will happen somewhere else in Europe. I am sure of it.”
Anti-Islam rhetoric
Here in the Netherlands, Wilders, 48, rose from political obscurity during the past decade to become one of the most influential far-right politicians in Europe.
Wilders — who spent time in his youth on an Israeli kibbutz — is pro-Israel and staunchly anti-
Islam. Describing Islam as a religion of violence and hate that wants to “enslave” the West, he has called for the closure of Muslim schools, made a high-profile anti-Muslim film and wants forced registration of all Dutch citizens holding two passports.
In 2010, Wilders was put on trial on charges of inciting hate, though observers say the perceived liberal bias of judges and his eventual acquittal only elevated his popularity. It served him well at the ballot box, with his four-year-old party winning so many seats in elections later that year that the center-right government required his support to stay in power.
His attempts to portray himself as a victim of the liberal elite have made him a darling of the right in the United States, where he has secured space on the Wall Street Journal’s op-ed page. This week, Wilders is set to promote a new book published in the United States, “Marked for Death: Islam’s War Against the West and Me.”
Yet he also defies easy political description. Wilders is a strong supporter of same-sex marriage. And he has been nothing if not a savvy reader of the political winds. Earlier this year, political observers say, he made the calculation to seize on Europe’s debt crisis. The move seemed politically well timed, as the economically strong and fiscally conservative Dutch suddenly found themselves in recession and struggling to enact budget cuts demanded by European agreements.
“He is master at capitalizing on fear,” said Jozias Van Aartsen, mayor of The Hague and an elder statesman in the Liberal Party, which Wilders broke with in 2004.
Targeting Poles
In February, Wilders’s party launched a Web site targeting Polish immigrants, who had come by the thousands as the Netherlands opened its door to more workers from poorer parts of the European Union in the mid-2000s. The site invited Dutch citizens to report Eastern Europeans for doing anything from “taking your parking spaces” to “taking your jobs.”
Malgorzata Karczewska, who runs a Polish-language news site in the Netherlands, said many Dutch seemed embarrassed by the move, but the Web site also brought latent animosity to the surface. One Polish immigrant, she said, repeatedly had her tires slashed. Others were insulted in public for speaking Polish. A week after the Freedom Party site was launched, Karczewska said, a waitress accused her of stealing cutlery while dining at a fine restaurant. “After 9/11, he made all Muslims the scapegoat in Holland,” she said. “Now, it’s the Poles.”
In March, Wilders accelerated his anti-Europe line, openly calling for the Netherlands to abandon the euro. Positioning himself as a champion of the working class, he refused to sign on to budget cuts demanded by European leaders, causing the Dutch government to fall and forcing Prime Minister Mark Rutte to tender his resignation last week.
Although scrambling Dutch parties reached a key budget deal Thursday, analysts warned that the nation still faces months of political turmoil and a possible loss of its cherished AAA credit rating.
Opinion polls suggest that Wilders may have taken at least a temporary hit by forcing the fall of the government, but observers say he is banking on domestic anxiety over the debt crisis to crest come Election Day in September.
“We are against Europe,” Wilders, unbowed, said last week. “We are against the euro.”
Correspondent Michael Birnbaum in Berlin and special correspondent Marit Van Kooij in Amsterdam contributed to this report.

A majority of Americans disapprove of President Trump’s work during his first week in the White House — breaking a record of how long it generally takes the majority of Americans to disapprove of a president.
On Saturday, 51 percent of Americans disapproved of Trump, a Gallup poll found.
The poll tracks daily approval ratings for Trump by surveying 1,500 Americans.
It took just eight days to reach these ratings. It took at least several hundred days for the majority of Americans to disapprove of past presidents.

It took more than 1,000 days for former President George W. Bush to reach that mark.
Trump’s first week in office has been met with massive backlash, as protesters gathered across the nation last weekend and this weekend to protest his actions as president so far.

Hundreds of thousands of demonstrators marched in the historic Women’s March last week, and thousands of protesters gathered at airports across the country to protest Trump’s executive order banning people from several Muslim-majority countries from entering the U.S.
The executive order, which also bans Syrian refugees from entering the country, has been met with international and bipartisan criticism. | positive |

Sometimes random items dropped by enemies are color coded to common but when you pick them up the color and description show that they are normal.

The sight of whites attempting to side with drug-lords in the Philippines over the people of the Philippines is an interesting one indeed. The ones who are destroying communities and violating the law, whose mafia murder innocents -- these are the ones that white globalists are siding with . And perhaps it's no coincidence given the alignment of values and tactics of those involved. Today's western government officials inherit and operate the same governments that forced opium on the Chinese people against the will of the government, who were sworn to protect them.
European colonists maintained a drug outpost in the Phillipines through which they routed drugs to China and other places; America inherited that outpost when they later colonized the Phillipines in the 20th century. It's certainly possible that early drug trade in the country was exacerbated by this trade. Given the ongoing involvement of US intelligence in the drug trade (which is not a conspiracy theory; there are significant testimonies from US govt. officials in other departments), there are legitimate question marks over why white globalists are taking the stand they are.
Asian populations deserve to have leaders who can stand up to the outside influence of foreign leaders who historically have not shown they have their best interests in mind. Hiding behind the nebulous surface-dressing of "values" doesn't easily fool a population that knows there's a history of abuse by the usual suspects, always dressed up in a new moral justification. | positive |

In my last post, I wrote about the pernicious impact of a long-hours culture on both individual and collective performances, so I thought I'd spend a bit of time in this post talking about the benefits of flexible working.
There has been a long list of studies trumpeting the virtues of flexible working, with one of the first revealing that flexible workers were generally a whole lot more productive than their 9-to-5 peers.
Over a nine month period they found that flexible workers:
achieved more
were off sick less often
worked longer hours
were happier in their work
These findings were replicated in a recent study conducted inside a Fortune 500 company.
It found that employees who were placed on a flexibility program were both happier at work and less prone to burnout and psychological stress than their colleagues who were not on the program.
Focusing On Results
The study, which is believed to be the first randomized control trial into workplace flexibility, saw participants divided into two groups. The first were taught various practices that aimed to increase their control over their work. So employees were trained to focus more on outcomes than face time.
Once trained, they were then encouraged to put their learning into practice. So, for instance, they might shuffle their work so more is done from home, or reduce the number of meetings that they attend.
Managers in this group were also given specific training to ensure that they encouraged employees to have good work-life balance and strong professional development.
When this group was compared with the control group, it emerged that they were far more empowered and supported by their boss, whilst also having more time to spend with their families.
They also reported higher job satisfaction levels and felt less stressed than their colleagues.
Overcoming The 'Stigma'
The researchers believe that the key to securing these benefits is to de-stigmatize flexible working as an option.
"The worker thinks, 'If I ask for special treatment, it will kill my career and I won't get promoted.' The manager thinks, 'If I give in to this employee, others will ask me too and no one will get their work done.' Even many academics take a skeptical view flex of programs and see them as a way for Corporate America to take advantage of workers," they say.
This needn't be the case however, and the study reminds us that when we empower employees to exert control over where and when they work, it tends to have a big impact on productivity and wellbeing.
So flexible working is certainly to be encouraged, but a note of caution comes via a study published recently in the Academy of Management Discoveries.
Giving People Choice
They also studied flexible working, but rather than focus on those who took advantage of such opportunities, they studied the employees who remained working in the office in traditional hours.
They found that people would typically come into work because they enjoyed the social interaction with their colleagues, and the productivity gains that could be achieved through this.
Of course, if most of your colleagues are working remotely then those benefits quickly melt away. This had the effect of then forcing those who would like to work in the office to work externally.
It underlines the challenges of providing an environment that works for everyone, but hopefully if you're sensible about how you manage things then you can do just that.
I'd love to hear your own experiences with flexible working. Does your employer offer it, and do you feel more productive as a result? Are you someone that prefers working in an office? Let me know in the comments.

There are those of us who consider the Baftas to be one of the longest-running jokes in the British film industry, along with the notion that there is even such a thing as a British film industry. But if they do represent a gag, it is only the most mirthless sort, as the director Mike Leigh can surely attest.
At last year’s Cannes film festival, his long-gestating passion project, Mr Turner, was rapturously received. A jury headed by Jane Campion and including Nicolas Winding Refn, Jia Zhangke and Willem Dafoe awarded the best actor prize to its star, Timothy Spall, for his performance – all bluster, phlegm and heartache – as the painter JMW Turner. The acclaim continued when the picture opened in Britain in October. What’s more, with UK takings of £6.58m, Mr Turner is among the 10 highest-grossing British films of 2014. Leigh’s move to a larger canvas has resulted in the biggest hit of a career which began more than 40 years ago. It wasn’t far-fetched to hope that its excellence would be recognised come awards season. But artistic achievement, critical accolades and popularity among the public clearly hold no sway with Bafta.
Not that the four paltry nods that the film received were undeserved. Dick Pope was rightly nominated for his luminous cinematography, while the film is also in the running also in the categories of make-up and hair, production design and costume design. (A similar pattern was repeated at the Oscar nominations, announced on Thursday, where the movie was recognised only in three technical categories, including cinematography.) But the absence of Mr Turner from all other Bafta categories is not only galling; it represents an unambiguous snub. The 6,500 voting Bafta members threw their weight instead behind a pair of trumped-up TV movies: The Imitation Game and The Theory of Everything. They decided, in their wisdom, that there was no room for Leigh in the best director category. And while Spall might have impressed Jane Campion, he couldn’t hold a candle, in Bafta’s estimation, to Eddie Redmayne, Benedict Cumberbatch or Jake Gyllenhaal.
Even in the consolation-prize category otherwise known as Outstanding British Film, where the big boys and girls are made to sit on the bench so the weaklings can have a shot at goal, Mr Turner was elbowed aside by Pride, Paddington and ’71. The whole affair could scarcely be more insulting unless nominees at next month’s ceremony are forced to tramp along a red carpet bearing a giant image of Mike Leigh’s face.
Facebook Twitter Pinterest The Guardian Film Show reviews Mr Turner
Mr Turner does not want for admirers. “Mike Leigh and Timothy Spall’s great achievement is showing us how the artist approached the physical business of painting,” Sir Nicholas Serota, the director of the Tate galleries, tells me. “But they also convey the spirit of a man whose reputation as a curmudgeon is unwarranted, given his passionate interest in people and the world around him. There is a great humanitarian streak in Turner and Mike Leigh has found a way of capturing this on film, as he has done so often before.”
The actor Joe Tucker, whose screen work with Leigh includes Career Girls and All or Nothing, thinks the director has excelled himself. “It really is Mike working at the peak of his powers,” he says. “It’s an evocative, layered period film but it has the heavy scent of the Mike Leigh world. The mountain those actors will have climbed in the course of their research would have been extraordinary.”
The writer and critic Amy Raphael, who edited the book Mike Leigh on Mike Leigh, also believes Mr Turner to be among the film-maker’s finest work. “It is not, thank the lord, a chocolate-box biopic of a great British artist,” she says. “It is instead a dazzling film about a painter who was a genius and a regular bloke. Of course it’s about Turner’s singular art, but it’s also, as ever in Mike’s work, about the big themes: love, loss, life, death.” She is especially appalled about the best actor snub: “Perhaps it doesn’t matter to the award-givers that Tim Spall has given us a performance worthy of Orson Welles. After all, he’s not as good at photo-bombing as the boy Cumberbatch.”
The relationship between director and awards body has never exactly been harmonious. In 1997, shortly after winning three prizes for Secrets and Lies (which was also nominated for five Oscars), Leigh revealed that he had let his Bafta membership lapse. “This was the first time anybody has ever had a Bafta award for anything in any of my films or television pieces,” he observed. “I can say nothing more eloquent than those facts. I leave everyone to form their own opinions on that.” He was especially incensed by a disparity between the receptions to his work at home and abroad. In 1993, a precedent for the Cannes/Bafta divide had been established when the festival gave Naked a brace of trophies – best director, and best actor for David Thewlis – while Bafta overlooked the movie entirely. “When you get best director and best actor at Cannes and not even a nomination at Bafta, it was then I gave up. What that tells you about Bafta, well it doesn’t need me to spell it out.”
Bafta does not have a dazzling modern-day record in the field of independent voting. The shifting of its awards ceremony in 2001 to pre-empt the Oscars has done nothing to diminish the impression that it will always be a feeble facsimile of its US counterpart. The difference now is that, rather than mimicking the Oscar nominations, the Baftas mostly second-guess them. (On one of the rare occasions where this proved not to be the case, Leigh was the unexpected beneficiary: he was named best director in 2005 for his film Vera Drake.) If the organisation has an ongoing problem with Leigh, Raphael thinks it might be that they consider him too highfalutin.
Watch a video interview with Mike Leigh and the stars of Mr Turner, Timothy Spall and Marion Bailey
“In my mind, Mike is sometimes at one end of British film-making and Danny Boyle is at the other,” she explains. “Both are widely celebrated yet are not quite fully accepted by the establishment. Mike because he’s an auteur and thus too profound, and Danny because he’s so visceral and therefore considered too superficial. It leaves them both slightly isolated unless they make a Secrets and Lies or a Slumdog Millionaire.”
It is easy to forget that, for all its box-office success, Mr Turner is still an odd duck. With a fastidious accretion of detail rather than a conventional spick-and-span story arc, and a portrayal of its main character for which the phrase “warts and all” would be an understatement, it would be wrong to suggest that it is an orthodox or undemanding watch. But when Bafta chooses trad over rad, it is voting not for excellence but for ease. Not for cinema that endures but for unchallenging entertainment that will fit nicely into Sunday evening television schedules. Not for the future but the past.
“It’s hard to say what’s behind the Bafta decision,” says Tucker. “It could be just the way the cards have fallen. Or maybe it’s a remnant of a begrudging attitude toward Mike’s process, his method. If that’s the case it would be really curious because he’s authentic and real, yet he’s still in some quarters regarded as an outsider and a renegade despite having been making films of consistent quality for nearly 45 years.”
Of course, any sane filmgoer knows that awards don’t really matter in the long run. No one now refuses to watch Raging Bull because it didn’t win the best picture Oscar, and turns for comfort instead to Ordinary People, the almost forgotten film that pipped it. Audiences of the future, if they look back at all at movies from 2015, will hardly be making their viewing choices based on Bafta tallies. Quality will out. We have to cling to that. And the snub may not occupy Leigh’s attention for very long. “He’s a team player,” says Raphael. “He uses the same crew again and again, so he will be gracious and happy about the technical nominations the film has. But he’s busy on his next projects and is devoted to the London Film School, so I doubt he’ll be thinking about Bafta much at all. He’s won plenty of awards in Europe – in Cannes, Venice, Locarno, Berlin – and five of his films have been Oscar-nominated. He doesn’t exactly need the validation of further Baftas.”
That may be so. Bafta voters might care to look, though, at the messages they are sending to audiences, to financiers – and also to those budding film-makers who have not yet picked up their first camera. Rewarding the mediocre and the conventional, while overlooking the scrupulous and the innovative, amounts to playing the short game. With that sort of thinking, a national cinema that thrives on High Hopes can easily come to resemble nothing more than a compendium of Bleak Moments. | positive |

Multicultural background is an asset
By Choi Ha-young
Being multicultural in Korean society used to be an obstacle to equality but not so much now. A recent conversation between a multicultural child and her Korean mother went like this.
"Mom, am I a Korean or Russian?" Eight-year-old Diana Jeon, born to a Korean mother and a Russian father, asked her mother.
The answer her mother, Jeon Young-hee, gave her was this, "You are both. How cool is that! Try to be a nice Earthian."
This is the story Diana shared with participants during a bilingual contest for children of multiracial families organized by the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (SMOE) at Seoul National University of Education in southern Seoul, Tuesday.
Like Diana, multicultural children in Korea, a perceived racially-homogenous society, face identity issues. They also often face discrimination in their daily lives because of their unique looks.
"Diana's older sister once said during her daycare center days that, ‘The mother of a boy whom I liked told him not to marry a mixed blood girl,'" Jeon said. "So I told my daughter: ‘The boy's mom is wrong. You can marry anyone on earth, except an outer space creature.'"
Despite such difficulties, students and teachers who participated in the contest voiced that bilingual ability is a competitive advantage in a globalizing society. A total of 40 elementary, middle and high school students who have Chinese, Japanese, Russian and Vietnamese backgrounds shared their stories about settlement, identity, school life and their future hopes in both Korean and other languages.
"Even a few years ago," the Japanese mother of 13-year-old Ahn So-hyun said after the contest, "parents in multicultural families used to have their children focus on the Korean language rather than a foreign language, but these days it's changing. I hope my daughter does not forget her Japanese. Others pay money to learn a second language, she doesn't have to."
Choi Subin, 14, who has a Russian name, Nicole, is learning her mother's language at a private academy. Her parents installed Russian satellite TV at home to encourage her to study Russian.
Choo Ji-won, 17, born to a Korean mother and Chinese father, said she wants to be an international lawyer to solve the conflicts between Seoul and Beijing. She won first place in the contest.
Her mother said, "It's a recent trend that students from wealthy families enter a Chinese school to learn Chinese and prepare to study abroad. I want my daughter to be a global leader."
Diana's mother Jeon boasted that a multicultural background helps children have balanced views, in the "Americanized Korean society."
"Many Korean media reports about THAAD or the territorial dispute between Russia and Ukraine are biased. My children can listen to various opinions thanks to their multicultural background," Jeon said.
Students dream about various careers: interpreter, translator, journalist, tour guide, application developer, chef and historian.
"I want to be a historian to bridge the historical awareness between Korea and Japan," said Mori Saran from Seonjung High School, who is interested in making a joint history textbook among Koreans, Japanese and Chinese.
Interestingly, Saran knew nothing about Korea until her parents encouraged her to go to Korea to experience the broader world.
"As we saw today, multicultural students can develop positive, confident identities," said Won Jin-sook, director of the Institute for Multicultural Education at the university.
"Recently, anti-multiculturalism is growing all over the world as seen by the refugee issue in Europe and Brexit. Education for Korean students to gain sensible and humane views on their multicultural peers is also necessary. Korea, which has a low birthrate, cannot maintain itself without immigrants," Won added. | positive |
Police had sought to identify the young man by releasing this photo of his watch to the public.
The young man found unconscious in Auckland on Tuesday night has been identified and his family are now with him in hospital.
Police are now focusing on investigating what happened to the 17-year-old.
They would like to speak to anyone who was in the vicinity of Peach Parade, Remuera, between the hours of 5pm and 9pm on Tuesday.
The man was found unconscious about 8.40pm and is now in an induced coma after being taken to hospital by an ambulance.

At Christmas they were very fast, now they keep pushing the dates back and they don't even send emails like they used to do, it's concerning. I mentioned it to a friend and he had an answer right away.
He said "they are probably having supply chain problems" and I said "what do you mean?" and he said the dock workers are still on strike and there are ships up and down the california coast filled with the goods that you are expecting"
I told him that I'm sure he's wrong, that strike had to have been settled. Can't find information on this though.
Do you guys know, are there ships filled with goods off the west coast? Is the strike ongoing?
Maybe they don't want to say "supply chain issues" so they are saying "plumbing problems"?

Sounds like a design flaw in the plumbing. Walmart uses the same contractor for most of it's store constructions.
If it has been deemed "unsafe", it's cheaper to just shut down, than risk a lawsuit. Sounds like a design flaw in the plumbing. Walmart uses the same contractor for most of it's store constructions.If it has been deemed "unsafe", it's cheaper to just shut down, than risk a lawsuit.

To ensure the authoring experience receives proper attention, we’ve incorporated these content author centric development best practices in our development definition of “done”:
1. Support the Experience Editor mode by using Experience Editor friendly controls (i.e. fieldrenderers) whenever possible (e.g. <sc:text />)
When it comes to content editing in Sitecore, the Experience Editor interface is king because of its ease of use when it comes to working with Sitecore's component/datasource based content model. With that in mind, supporting inline content editing via Sitecore's fieldrenders is a must. For fields not supported by fieldrenderers, try using field editor buttons.
2. Sublayouts/renderings are intuitively named
Sublayout/rendering names are exposed to content authors when they use the component wizard in Experience Editor mode. The name you give your sublayout/rendering will be the name the content authors see in the component wizard.
3. Placeholders are intuitively named
Similar to sublayouts/renderings, placeholder names are exposed to the content author in Experience Editor mode. Use intuitive names. Avoid placeholder names such as Content in favour of more descriptive names like Footer or Right Rail.
4. Components are properly assigned to placeholders to enforce the design (e.g. A slideshow should not be available in the right rail)
Hero Banner or Marketing Slideshow components are likely not components you want your content author to add to the Footer or Right Rail placeholders. Expose component availability so that content authors are prevented from deviating from the intended design/organization of your pages.
5. Thumbnails have been added to the components (viewable in the "Add Component" wizard/dialog)
Thumbnail images added to sublayouts/renderings are presented to a content author when they use the Component wizard. In addition to intuitively naming your component, the thumbnail can act as a visual cue as to the underlying functionality of the component. For best results, use examples from designs of the component as your thumbnail.
6. Insert Options are only available where absolutely necessary
Understand your content tree and where specific types of content should be created. Too many options can lead to confusion. Only expose the options that are necessary for the specific location in the tree. As a rule of thumb, if a template is only used once to create a single item (e.g. a unique Contact Us template), insert options should not be configured for that template. Instead, a Sitecore content administrator should be responsible for the one-time creation of the item.
7. Fields are consistently ordered across templates (e.g. the Page Title field is always at the top)
I've seen this particular issue cause lots of frustration with content authors. If you are sharing fields across templates, those fields should be found in the same relative vicinity (i.e. top, middle, bottom) across those templates.
8. Fields are properly validated (e.g. required)
If you are expecting content in a field, or expecting a specific format, be sure to make use of Sitecore's field validation. You can even prevent the page from being passed through workflow if fields fail validation. Content authors are happier when they know what is expected of them.
9. Load enough and varied test content to test your code and markup properly
In our experience, the best content to use for testing is real content, either from the existing site, or content that has been specifically created for the new site. It can be frustrating to add content only to see the design of the page break because the text provided in the field is too long, or a single or multiline text field has been used to output content when a richtext field that allows for addition of markup should have been used.
10. Provide field-level help text for your content authors
Add help text to your fields via the Short Description and Long Description fields directly on the field template.
11. Where appropriate, ensure sub-folder creation is possible in your repositories for additional organization
A flat repository organization can get unwieldy as the number of content items in the folder grow. Allowing for subfolder organization can help alleviate this issue.
12. Use unique icons for each template
Icons identify the template used to create an item in the content tree. They act as a quick way to identify different types of content.
13. Ensure naming continuity with terminology used in requirements with artifact names in Sitecore
If you spend the discovery phase of your project talking about a Subpage artifact as the most common page in the site, be sure to name that template Subpage in Sitecore. This helps accelerate a content author's learning curve when they start using the system for the first time.
14. Your frontend HTML/CSS should be Experience Editor friendly.
Editing a slide that auto-transitions off the screen does not make for a pleasant content author experience.
15. Use workflow!
Without workflow, when you hit the save button to save inflight changes, your changes are also publishable immediately, whether that is your intention or not.
16. Hide or prevent write access to content items
Be sure to plan a proper security model. Content authors should only have write access to their own content. You can even hide areas of the content tree from content authors where it makes sense (be careful here, because removing read permissions may have unintended consequences). | positive |
VICENTE has blasted suspended Albion boss Gus Poyet as “the worst person I’ve come across in football”.
The departing Spanish star has branded Poyet “selfish” and “egocentric”.
And he has accused the Uruguayan of mocking his players in training.
Vicente was released by Albion on Thursday after 18 starts in two injury-hit seasons with the Seagulls.
The 31-year-old former Valencia playmaker claims Poyet was ready to let him return to Spain last summer, because his four-year-old daughter Blanca was struggling to settle in England, but then did a U-turn.
Vicente, who played in the Champions League and La Liga for Valencia and was capped 38 times by Spain, told The Argus: “He is the worst person I’ve come across in football. “For example, he deceived me when he said I could go and then he didn’t let me. I was four months out injured and he wasn’t capable of coming up and asking how I was.
“For me he is a selfish person, very egocentric. I say that because it’s how I feel.
“I won’t talk badly about my team-mates, because they have been fantastic with me. What I think is unacceptable is that the manager makes fun of his players. I’ve seen things here that I have never seen in my career. If you miss with a shot in training, he makes fun. For me, that is unacceptable in football.”
Poyet, his assistant Mauricio Taricco and coach Charlie Oatway, have been suspended by Albion pending an internal investigation into alleged breaches of contract.
Vicente and other players out-of-contract were spoken to by chairman Tony Bloom and head of football David Burke after Poyet refused to deal with the retained list. | positive |
Image copyright CHRISTIE'S Image caption The ring, belonging to the Muslim ruler Tipu Sultan, was inscribed with the name of Ram, a Hindu God
A ring belonging to an 18th Century Indian ruler has been sold at an auction in London amid criticism from heritage groups.
The jewelled golden ring was sold for £145,000 by Christie's auction house.
It belonged to Tipu Sultan, a Muslim king, and is notable because it was inscribed with the name of a Hindu God.
Tipu Sultan is best known for fighting against British rule in India. The ring is thought to have been taken from him by a British general as he lay dead.
The 41.2g ring was sold to an undisclosed bidder for almost 10 times its estimated price at the auction in central London, according to Christie's website.
It is inscribed with the name of the Hindu God Ram in raised Devanagri script. Some say this shows that the king was more sympathetic to Hindus than previously thought.
The ring was allegedly taken from the slain body of Tipu Sultan at the end of the 1799 Srirangappattinam battle he fought against the British East India Company's forces.
The auction listing noted that "it is surprising that a ring bearing the name of a Hindu god would have been worn by the great Muslim warrior".
Image copyright PA Image caption Another jewel belonging to Tipu Sultan sold for almost £400,000 in 2009
"It is perhaps more likely that the ring was taken from Tipu Sultan's collection," the listing said.
Tipu Sultan was considered a progressive ruler, says Manivannan Thirumalai from the BBC's Tamil section.
Also known as the Tiger of Mysore, he ruled the state for 17 years after he succeeded his father, Hyder Ali.
Outcry
Earlier this month Professor S. Settar from India's National Institute of Advanced Studies warned that the ring might be hidden from public view if it was sold to a private bidder.
He urged the Indian government to "make use of all available avenues, legal and diplomatic, to recover the ring".
If the ring could not be stopped from going to auction, he said, Indian philanthropists should be encouraged to purchase it on behalf of the nation. It is not known if the new owner of the ring is Indian.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — The Alabama Republican Party on Thursday offered unqualified support to the embattled candidacy of Roy S. Moore, ignoring the condemnation of national Republican leaders and brushing aside worries that he could lose a Senate race in a solidly conservative state — or be expelled from Congress if he wins.
Invoking the need for guidance from God, a statement from the party’s chairwoman, Terry Lathan, referred only indirectly to the allegations of sexual misconduct and unwanted overtures against women that have upended the Senate race here. Ms. Lathan said the party trusted voters to make the right decision and backed Mr. Moore, a former chief justice of the State Supreme Court, as a conservative supporter of President Trump running against the Democrat, Doug Jones.
“Judge Moore has vehemently denied the allegations made against him,” Ms. Lathan said in her statement, issued one day after a committee of party leaders opted behind closed doors to reaffirm their support for the Republican nominee. “He deserves to be presumed innocent of the accusations unless proven otherwise.”
The state party’s decision was a crucial, if mostly expected, procedural victory for a campaign roiled by the public comments of nine women who described conduct varying from uncomfortable to unlawful. Although Mr. Moore on Thursday called the allegations “scurrilous” and “untrue,” the state party’s statement came minutes after he refused to answer questions here about whether he had improper sexual contact with a 14-year-old or, as a prosecutor in his 30s, dated high school girls. | positive |

IRVING, Texas -- A piece of advice: Do not drive yourself crazy now that we know DeMarcus Ware will play for the Denver Broncos next season. Don't second-guess the decision the Dallas Cowboys made Tuesday to release Ware. It was the correct move.
He wasn't worth the money on an average team like the Cowboys that have a multitude of roster holes to fill. On the Broncos, Ware makes perfect sense. And that's why they gave the 31-year-old defensive end a three-year, $30 million deal.

Ware will earn $13 million in signing bonus and salary this season, and his $7 million salary for next season is guaranteed. Odds are he won't see the third season.
Right now, what you need to understand is that Ware will have a monster season next year with Denver. Guaranteed. My advice: Spend the next few months preparing yourself to deal with it.
Hey, we've done it before. Remember Steve Nash won consecutive most valuable player awards the first two seasons after Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban let the free agent point guard leave because he figured Nash's body was going to break down sooner rather than later.
And who can forget catcher Pudge Rodriguez winning a World Series with Florida a year after spending the first 12 years of his career with the Texas Rangers? Texas let Rodriguez leave because they thought he was done, the same way the Cowboys let Ware go because they weren't sure how much he had left to give. | positive |
belarc alternatives - Rantdriven Home Blog Gaming Fashion Business Animations More Write for us About Us Contact Us Editorial Policy Policy of cookies Privacy Policy Terms and Conditions Home Blog Gaming Fashion Business Animations More Write for us About Us Contact Us Editorial Policy Policy of cookies Privacy Policy Terms and Conditions Blog belarc alternatives by Radhe Gupta February 24, 2022 by Radhe Gupta February 24, 2022 0 comment 13 views Belarc is a company that offers alternatives to the traditional Bel-Air lifestyle. Belarc is an alternative lifestyle that is focused on the core values of self-sufficiency, sustainability, community, and the value of the individual. I’m a big believer in the concept of self-sufficiency, but I also believe that the concept of self-sufficiency is inherently limited, and that we should be aiming for more. I believe that if we are going to be self-sufficient, we should be aiming for a lifestyle that can really afford it. I don’t want to take away anyone’s self-sufficiency, but I do think that we should be more self-sufficient in our own personal lives. The idea of self-sufficiency in itself is a very good one. But the problem is that we don’t really have much of a choice when it comes to choosing between what we need and what we can afford. The world is a big place and I think we’ve all seen the examples of what self-sufficiency looks like in the real world. In the real world, the people who have the highest self-sufficiency are the ones most likely to be successful. If you want a really easy way to start a conversation with someone, you might consider asking them to tell you what they earn so much of and how much they spend on food. If you want some good advice on how to save money, perhaps ask the people in your life for some advice on how to save money. The fact is that, unlike many others, the majority of people who try to put their own life at risk in the real world are not capable of self-sufficiency. We just don’t know why. The main point of this post is that we don’t know what we are doing right now. So don’t think we should be worrying about saving your life right now. I did say I didn’t know what you’re doing. If you want to get some answers to this, there is a video that explains what life is and how to get a life! There are some videos online, but I think it’s worth watching. You can also watch the first installment on the podcast, which is a really great listen. I hope this video helps you decide what life to look for in a particular direction. If you are looking for a good life, belarcs are not a good life. I have some info on that already, but I will leave that to your imagination. If you are looking for a good life, you can look for a very particular type of life, but that is not the same thing as deciding what life is. The choice between online and offline is a choice between making money and losing it. When you’re buying a house, you’re buying a home of a certain value. When you’re buying a car, you’re buying a car of a certain value. The choices are yours to make. It’s the same with online.

Politicians and Jewish leaders came together Wednesday to condemn the anti-Semitic notes left at a North York condo building. Residents of 233 Beecroft Rd., near Yonge St. and Park Home Ave., say notes were left last weekend on doors with the phrase “No Jews” above a swastika written in red ink. Mezuzahs were also vandalized.

“There is no place for these acts of hatred, the acts of discrimination, these acts of anti-Semitism,” Mayor John Tory said at a news conference. “When (such acts) happen, we have to stand together with the men and women of the Jewish community and say this is not who we are, this is not acceptable in the place where we live together.” Rabbi Moshe Steiner, co-director of Uptown Chabad synagogue in North York, said he visited residents after the attack and found them shaken. Residents who were targeted were offered free mezuzah scrolls, Steiner said. He added that the residents wanted to lay low after the attacks.

“The answer to this hateful type of attacks is absolutely not to say let’s recede into the shadows, let’s keep a lower profile . . . we cannot do that,” he said. “We dare not, we dare not be marginalized and recede into the shadows. Let’s not be intimidated . . . whoever perpetuated this hateful crime is trying to intimidate us . . . trying to force us to cower in the shadows. We cannot do that.” Toronto police Sgt. Lawrence Sager said he is confident that whoever is responsible for the crime will be brought to justice and that tips are still coming in from the public. The suspect could face hate crime charges as well as theft and mischief interfering with property. “We take this sort of criminal activity very seriously,” he said. “We recognize these types of crimes have far-reaching repercussions and we support the Jewish community in order to ensure that they feel safe.” Anti-Semitic incidents have been constant across the country since at least 2011, according to B’nai Brith Canada’s audit. “Unfortunately that seems to be a new normal — a new normal of targeting the Jewish community,” said Michael Mostyn, CEO of B’nai Brith Canada. University campuses have seen an increase in anti-Semitic incidents, he said, including one earlier in February at McGill University where a student tweeted, “punch a Zionist today.”

IN many respects, Saudi Arabia is one of the most advanced nations in the world.
It’s the world’s largest oil producer and its cities are glitz and glamour — thriving metropolis’ in the middle of the desert.
In other ways, the desert kingdom is far from advanced, a place where barbaric rituals still occur and where the country’s citizens are subjected to horrific punishments.
It’s hard to imagine that in Saudi Arabia this week preparations are being made to not only execute a young man but to crucify him. Literally.
The world is pleading with the Saudi government to reconsider. Advocates say what’s about to take place makes them feel physically ill.
The boy at the centre of it all — Ali Mohammed al-Nimr — says he’s done nothing wrong.
‘BARBARIC, INHUMANE, MERCILESS’
Al-Nimr was 17 when he went to an anti-government protest in the Saudi Arabian province of Qatif.
He was accused by the government of carrying a firearm, attacking security forces and even armed robbery. None of those charges could be proven but he confessed nonetheless. He didn’t have a lawyer and some say the confession was drawn from the teenager via torture.
He was demonstrating at the wrong time in the wrong place — in the middle of a violent government crackdown against detractors.
That was February, 2012. Fast forward three years and the charges have stuck, despite a recent appeal.
His sentence is due to be carried out by beheading and crucifixion, a method that involves removing the head of the prisoner and tying their headless body to a cross.
Often, the crucifixion is carried out in a public place. It sends a strong message to others: We will not stand for criticism, no matter who the person and no matter what their age.
‘HOW CAN THIS HAPPEN IN 2015?’
A Scottish politician raised al-Nimr’s case in parliament this week. She spoke eloquently and she spoke in strong opposition to a practice that has no place in our modern world.
“How in 2015 can a supposedly civilised country impose such an inhumane and merciless penalty on any of its citizens, let alone one so young?” MP Margaret Ferrier said.
“It’s an absolute outrage and I intend to write to the minister and ask for urgent action to be taken.
“Ali’s sentence is due to be barbarically carried out by crucifixion. I feel for this young man and his family. Reading Ali’s story this morning filled me with grief for his life about to be savagely and abruptly ended.”
Savagery is nothing new in Saudi Arabia, a country which between 1985 and 2013 executed more than 2000 people. In 2013, 79 people were put to death. Most of them had their heads cut off with large, sharp swords.
In January this year, a woman protested her innocence until the final moment when a sword fell across her neck. She was writhing on the hard ground in a very public place trying to escape her executioner. Not once but twice did the sword fall upon her neck, the first blow clearly not getting the job done.
Elsewhere, blogger Raif Badawi was jailed for 10 years recently after starting a website for social and political debate in Saudi Arabia. Raif will receive 50 lashings a week for a year for setting up the Saudi Arabian Liberals website.
The prosecution first called for him to be tried for apostasy (when a person abandons their religion), which carries a death sentence in Saudi Arabia. Then, in May this year, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison, a fine of over $300,000 AUD and 1000 lashes. When he is finally released, Raif faces a 10-year travel ban which would keep him from his wife and three young children in Canada, according to Amnesty International.
A spokesman for Amnesty International told news.com.au the last time men were strapped to crosses and killed was in 2013.
“Five Yemeni men were beheaded and crucified, with pictures emerging on social media showing five decapitated bodies hanging from a horizontal pole with their heads wrapped in bags.
“The beheading and ‘crucifixion’ took place in front of the University of Jizan where students were taking exams.”
DOES SAUDI ARABIA HAVE AN AXE TO GRIND?
Ali Mohammed al-Nimr is not the only family member under the careful watch of the Saudi government.
Ali’s uncle Sheikh Nimr al-Nimr was arrested in July, 2012. A self-described campaigner for human rights for minorities, the 53-year-old has a strong following online where a website and Facebook page have been set up to rally support for his defence.
His crimes, including speaking out against the government, carry the death penalty.
Maya Foa, director of the death penalty team at legal charity Reprieve, told the International Business Times nobody should have to go through what Ali is going through.
“Ali was a vulnerable child when he was arrested and this ordeal began. His execution — based apparently on the authorities’ dislike for his uncle, and his involvement in anti-government protests — would violate international law and the most basic standards of decency. It must be stopped.” | positive |

But no fine comes with the rule, and the signs could be difficult to see

LONGMONT -- Baby steps.
That might be the best way to describe the implementation of a downtown "dismount zone" for bicyclists and skateboarders.
Discussions that have gone on for a couple of years have led to the installation of small, blue-and-white signs tacked onto street-lamp poles on the sidewalks at the entrance to each block between Third and Sixth avenues. The signs read, "Pedestrian Zone; Please Walk Your Wheels."
"The consensus of the merchants was that this was a problem," said Kimberlee McKee, the executive director of the Longmont Downtown Development Authority.
She said that the idea of making downtown a dismount zone had come up from time to time ever since she took her position in early 2011.

"The question was, did we want an ordinance or not?" McKee said.
After consulting with city officials and the bicycle advocacy group Bicycle Longmont, it was decided that a formal city ordinance, which could have carried a fine with it, was not necessary. Instead, the signs will stay up for a year and the LDDA will monitor merchants' observations on whether incidents of close calls between pedestrians and shop owners and people on bikes or skateboards continue.
Several dozen people responded to an online public survey that the LDDA put up late last year, and 60 percent of respondents favored making downtown a dismount zone, McKee said. Thirty-one percent reported that they themselves had had a close call.

"Really, all they need to do is, when you have an incident, send us an email and we'll keep a file of those," McKee said of the merchants.
If the signs prove ineffective, then she and other city officials will revisit the issue next year, she said.
Also in the works are adding up to 40 bike racks in the downtown area, and the LDDA is putting together a brochure explaining the dismount zone.
"We're going to work with the LDDA to find out the best way to put the word out on the street," said Bicycle Longmont president Ryan Kragerud, adding that his group will give input on where the bike racks will go.
Kragerud has said that he understands the concerns of merchants about people riding on the sidewalks downtown, but he still wants to keep downtown both pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly.
To that end, he would like to see the alleys be designated as detours that could take people off Main Street, something that McKee said is not being planned.
"For safety and confusion issues, it was decided that the alleys should remain one-way," she said.
"I think we'd like to revisit that," Kragerud said. "The east side (alley) is clearly very bike-friendly."
He'll continue to lobby for the alleys to get designated as bikeways, he said.
As it stands now, the small blue signs are the sole indicator that the Main Street sidewalks are a dismount zone. McKee said there are no plans to paint any markings on the sidewalk, where they might be more likely to be seen by people riding bikes, but she and others will continue to evaluate the situation.

US politician Ron Paul has said that he will have to apologise to his supporters for not punching Sacha Baron Cohen when he tricked him into a spoof interview for his upcoming movie Bruno.
The 73-year-old failed presidential candidate told ABC Radio that the interview did not occur in a hotel as it appears in the film but instead took place in a studio made to look like a bedroom.
Paul said: "I was expecting an interview on Austrian economics. So, that didn't turn out that way. But by the time he started pulling his pants down...I ran out of the room. 'This interview has ended.'
"When this all gets out, I'm probably going to have to apologise to my supporters because I think most of them are going to figure out why in the world didn't I sock this guy in the nose?"
He added: "Movies I used to see include Sound of Music. Tonight, I was sitting here watching Gone With The Wind. So, I don't watch that kind of stuff.
"I understand he makes a lot of money. But, if he makes a lot of money - I have to permit the market to do this."

UCLA Football Spring Showcase Is In One Week, Here Are Five Things To Look For Until Then
UCLA Football Spring Showcase Is In One Week, Here Are Five Things To Look For Until Then by Mike Regalado
Although UCLA football had a closed practice to both the public and the media this morning, it seems as though a lot of notable characters were able to get a glimpse of the Bruins. Aside from various recruits who were out at practice today (there have been a lot visiting UCLA during Spring Practice) the Bruins got a visit from a four-time Super Bowl Champion, Tom Brady.
Met the greatest Qb, Tom Brady , would have sacked him but you know I don’t wanna loose my… https://t.co/cApMGlNP3M — Wöle Bòmáyė (@Kingwole47) April 18, 2015
It seems that the most famous Patriot is taking in the #BruinRevolution… and posing for pictures in the meantime. Oluwole Betiku, a four-star defensive end out of Serra High School, attended practice and posed with Brady and then posted it to Instagram. So, yeah, that is happening.
Bruin fans, get ready to see a lot of celebrities around the program. The Bruins already have some uber-famous football parents like hip-hop moguls Sean “Puffy Daddy” Combs and Snoop Dogg, so that is huge, but in general, the Bruins are catching the eyes of a lot of “A” listers. Last season, Denzel Washington attended practice.

The Bruin Revolution is real Ladies and Gentlemen, and it will be televised!

Morgan Freeman | E'Dena Hines had no drama in relationship | Contactmusic.com Contactmusic Movies Music News Home Login / Register Account / Logout Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest StumbleUpon Contactmusic > Morgan Freeman > News > E'Dena Hines had no drama in relationship E'Dena Hines had no drama in relationship By Bang Showbiz in Lifestyle / Showbiz on 18 August 2015 Facebook Twitter Google+ Pinterest StumbleUpon Reddit Fark Email Comment Follow Morgan Freeman Morgan Freeman Pals of Morgan Freeman's step-granddaughter E'Dena Hines say there were no signs of trouble in her relationship with her alleged killer Lamar Davenport. Morgan Freeman's step-granddaughter spoke ''positively'' of boyfriend Lamar Davenport, who has been charged with her murder. Friends of E'Dena Hines, who was stabbed to death outside her New York City home in the early hours of Sunday morning (16.08.15), are shocked that her partner could be capable of such violence and say they had a happy relationship. Pal Tami Dunn told PEOPLE.com: ''There was nothing in her relationship with Lamar that indicated this type of trouble. ''At least, she didn't tell her friends about it. He was quiet and not the most social person I had ever met, but he didn't have any dark energy.'' Davenport was charged with second-degree murder on Monday (17.08.15) after being taken into custody at the scene of the crime. Tami added: ''He seemed to love her, and she talked about him positively, whenever she talked about him. That's why it's such a shock.'' Meanwhile, neighbour George Hudacko says he was awoken by the sounds of ''grunting and moaning'' and noticed E'Dena lying on the floor outside. Hudacko says he heard ''screaming and the name 'Lamar'.'' He added: ''I heard that same man saying, 'In the name of Jesus Lord God, Demons, I command you.' Or something like that. He thought he was doing an exorcism.'' Oscar winner Freeman, 78, paid tribute to his 33-year-old step-granddaughter in a statement on Sunday. He said: ''The world will never know her artistry and talent, and how much she had to offer,'' he said. ''Her friends and family were fortunate enough to have known what she meant as a person. ''Her star will continue to shine bright in our hearts, thoughts and prayers. May she rest in peace.''

“How the Oculus Rift Pre-order Scandal connects to Microsoft Xbox Two, and why Oculus Touch might be delayed into 2017"
About a month ago there was this story on Reddit, and extremely convincing story about how Microsoft was responsible for the Oculus Rift being delayed by 3+ months. This story was later discredited by the Oculus Sub Reddit itself presumably because someone at Oculus contacted the Sub Reddit to discredit it.
The story original said that the reason the pre-orders were delayed was because Oculus had unexpectedly sold far more preorders than they thought they were going to sell. Over 300,000.
The author claimed to be an Oculus insider and indicated that someone from Microsoft had promised the Oculus team that they would have plenty of Xbox controllers to go with the Oculus Rift when it was time to ship, except that Microsoft did not have enough Xbox controllers to fill all the preorders because Microsoft was also caught off guard by the large number of presales, and they had no where near enough Xbox controllers on hand to give to Oculus. This put Team Oculus at Facebook into a mad scramble to buy as many Xbox controllers as they could from every company that had already been shipped Xbox controllers.
You can read the original story here
https://www.reddit.com/r/oculus/comments/4ei5vx/this_is_what_went_wrong_with_the_launch_insider/?
The key point of interest for me is that this story was so persuasive and so interesting that the people who managed the Oculus Sub Reddit actually had to do some research to find out from someone at Oculus if this was true or not. Curiously they were able to confirm that this story was fake. How did they confirm it was fake? We don’t know for sure, but if we assume that they are being honest and that they know its fake, it might be because someone who was confirmed to actually work at Oculus told them it was fake. I will rephrase that: Someone who was able to prove that they worked at Oculus most likely confirmed that it was a false rumor.
Now here is the weird thing, why is it out of all the rumors and fake stories on Facebook, that someone from the Oculus Team would even bother to confirm to a reddit moderator that this story was fake? Oculus doesn’t comment on every Reddit story.
Why would someone from Oculus go out of their way to make sure no one believed the story that Microsoft was responsible for the pre-order delays?
Was there another reason they might have wanted to shield their partner Microsoft? Could that have something to do with a secret plan to create a version of the Oculus Rift for the next version of Microsoft Xbox?
On April 21st there was a story on Arstechnica about AMD reporting three System on a Chip deliveries, this was a big business deal for AMD
AMD was unable to confirm who these three deliveries were going to, but the article suggests these were going to console makers like Nintendo NX, Playstation NEO, and a new Xbox. It suggested that there might be an Xbox 1.5 in the near future. Later another article suggested that the new Xbox would be called Xbox Two, but it would still be backwards and reverse compatible with Xbox One.
The basic idea is that all three of the major console makers are sort of jointly releasing new consoles with similar hardware to save on costs and to support game developers so game creators can make more money. A key component of this mid-console-generation upgrade is that these consoles will emphasize backwards compatibility with the previous generation of consoles, as well as reverse compatibility. This means that new games for the new consoles will also work on the older consoles.
For example all the Playstation 4 games will run on Playstation Neo, and Playstation Neo games will run on Playstation 4, albiet in a reduced graphics mode. All this is designed to support both developers and players. It also lowers the risk and the costs for all three of the major makers, allowing the console gaming industry as a whole to be more competitive against the pc gaming industry, the phone gaming industry, and other non-gaming industries such as music, movies, and television.
Since the Arstechnica story we have seen a growing number of stories about the rumored upcoming Xbox Two console which is supposed to premiere at E3. This 4K Xbox Two console is going to be powerful enough to power a high end desktop class Virtual Reality experience. Thus the relationship between Microsoft’s Xbox division (Xbox Controller) and Facebook’s VR division (Oculus Rift) takes on a new meaning.
We also have to consider the Microsoft and Oculus both want to be able to compete with the low cost Playstation VR experience, so creating a version of the Oculus Rift for the Xbox Two makes a ton of sense. Without a deal like this the Oculus Rift would be between a rock and a hard place. Especially with new rumors that suggest that the Oculus Touch has been delayed to 2017. The Oculus Rift is going to need a big win to distract from another issue that would potentially anger a lot of Oculus supporters and that is the delay of the Touch controllers.
There are a couple of industry insiders who have dropped the idea that the Oculus Touch has been secretly delayed to 2017.
The first time I heard this rumor was from a talk given by Timoni West who is a VR Designer from Unity Labs who can be seen using the Oculus Touch on stage at the Vision Summit to demonstrate the Unity VR Editor Tool. I was there in the audience when she demoed this it was totally amazing. You can watch that demo here:
More recently Timoni West gave another MUST SEE talk at “Lets GO CYBERSPACE VIRTUAL REALITY UX” In the 20 minute talk she drops mention of the Oculus Touch being set for delivery “NEXT YEAR” right after the 04:30 mark
The fact is that Timoni does not work at Oculus, so it’s not official, and she probably doesn’t know for sure what the Oculus Touch release date is, but considering how closely Unity works with Oculus, if anyone knew about a secret delay of the Oculus Touch, it would be someone from Unity.
It might be that Timoni is just making an educated guess, but then I heard the rumor again, from another person who would also probably know. Unfortunately the second time I heard the rumor was not in a publically available talk so I can’t cite the talk or disclose who it was, as it was something heard during a private conversation.

Study: Golfers can improve their putt with a different look

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Golfers looking to improve their putting may find an advantage in visualizing the hole as bigger, according to a new study from Purdue University.
"People in our study made more successful putts in a smaller hole when a visual illusion helped them perceive it as larger," said Jessica K. Witt, an assistant professor of psychological science who studies perception in sports. "We know that how people perceive the environment affects their ability to act in it, such as scoring as basket or hitting a baseball, and now we know that seeing a target as larger leads to improved performance.
"More work is needed to better understand this effect, but we think the perceived increase in target size will boost confidence in one's abilities."
For the first time, Witt looked at how manipulating what athletes see could influence their immediate performance. Her findings are published in the April issue of Psychological Science.
Witt's previous work has shown how perception and performance work together in softball, tennis and football. For example, softball players who hit the ball better saw it as bigger, and people successfully kicking a football through the goal posts saw the target as larger.
In this golf study, 36 participants putted to two different-sized holes while a projector displayed a ring of smaller and larger circles around each hole to create an optical illusion. The smaller circles around the hole made it look bigger. Before putting, the person's perception of each hole was measured by having them draw the estimated size of the hole. Their perception was correlated with their scores, and those who saw the smaller hole, which was 5.08 centimeters in diameter, as bigger putted about 10 percent more successfully.
"A future goal is to develop techniques to help athletes see their target differently," Witt said. "Effects of these visual illusions will then lead to improvements in performance."
This work was supported by funds from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. Witt collaborated on the study with Sally A. Linkenauger, a postdoctoral fellow at the Max Planck Institute in Germany, and Dennis R. Proffitt, professor of psychology at the University of Virginia.

In addition to the 520 "potential attackers" de Maiziere cited in his interview with German daily "Bild" on Saturday, he said there were a further 360 "relevant" people, known to police for their proximity to the potential attackers.
"The troublemakers are persons where certain facts suggest that they will commit politically motivated crimes of considerable importance," he added, in an interview ahead of the 15th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks on the US, which takes place on Sunday.
De Maiziere said Islam did not bear within it the "seed of terrorism"
De Maiziere appealed to all Muslims to distance themselves from Islamist terrorism, saying it was important that they recognized any radicalization patterns within their communities and intervened in good time.
"It is an abuse of the religion to carry out assassinations in the name of Islam," de Maiziere said.
But he warned that there was no justification to putting all Muslims in Germany under suspicion.
Sense of unease
Germany remains on edge following several violent incidents in July, including a suicide bombing close to a music festival, an ax-and-knife attack on a commuter train and the Munich shopping mall shootings, which left 10 people dead.
Several of the incidents were carried out in the name of the self-proclaimed "Islamic State" (IS) group, which has led to concerns the country could soon be the target of a major attack.
"The terror threat now stems from foreign hit teams as well as fanatical lone wolves in Germany," de Maiziere told "Bild" on Saturday.
"The hit teams are secretly smuggled into Europe and prepare their actions without being noticed, as we saw with the attacks in Paris and Brussels."
"But it's even more difficult to uncover the fanatical lone wolves," the minister said, adding that there is a real and present danger from both threats.
De Maiziere insisted that security authorities were doing everything possible to monitor "the potential terrorists," noting that there have been many more investigations and arrests this year than in previous years.
Despite their efforts, he said, "the authorities are assuming there are undiscovered lone wolf terrorists out there."

While Xi Jinping may want to build a stronger, more advanced military force to “safeguard national sovereignty, security and development interests,” there are some concerns that China’s incoming crops of recruit won’t be up to the task — being too busy playing on their phone, eating and masturbating to solider properly
According to an article posted on the WeChat account of the People’s Liberation Army Daily, 56.9% of armed services candidates at one unnamed town were rejected for failing to meet physical fitness standards.
One-fifth of these candidates were rejected for being too fat, others because excessive smartphone use had damaged their eyesight or because they had consumed too much snack foods or soda pop, resulting in poor liver and gallbladder function.
Meanwhile, 8% were rejected because of “abnormal enlargement of small testicular veins,” caused by too much masturbation.
The report follows numerous studies done in recent years which have found that the physical fitness level of Chinese youths is deteriorating at a worrying rate. Earlier this year, one study found that China was home to more obese children than any other country on earth.
However, after reports of excessively pudgy and overly frustrated Chinese teens hit international media, China’s military was quick to dismiss speculation about the poor quality of its new recruits, arguing that a higher number of rejected applicants does not mean a decrease in troop quality.
“China’s recruitment process has strict rules and procedures,” the Defense Ministry office said. “The quality of our recruits is guaranteed, and the headwaters of our military will flow long and strong.”
Back in 2014, the PLA did relax recruitment standards a bit, allowing for slightly shorter and slightly rounder men and women to apply, not to mention those with “less than ideal eyesight” and those with tattoos.
This all comes after a report in the PLA Daily earlier this month which warned of the havoc that the extremely popular mobile game “Honor of Kings” was wreaking on its ranks, worrying that the highly-addictive smartphone smash hit could slow down soldiers in real-life combat scenarios
“There is certainly a security risk that can’t be overlooked,” the People’s Liberation Army Daily newspaper warned gravely. “The game requires constant attention but a soldier’s job is full of uncertainty. Once a soldier is cut off from the game for an urgent mission, he could be absent-minded during the operation if his mind remains on the game.”
Hey, at least when they’re playing that game, they aren’t busy enlarging their small testicular veins.

In this blog post, we’ll show you how to do just that. Checkout this video: Watch this video on YouTube Introduction TensorFlow is a powerful tool for machine learning, but it can be challenging to get started. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to load and use a pre-trained model in TensorFlow. First, we’ll need to download the model. We can do this using the TensorFlow Model zoo (https://github.com/tensorflow/models/blob/master/research/object_detection/g3doc/detection_model_zoo.md). For this tutorial, we’ll be using the faster_rcnn_inception_v2 model. Once we have the model, we’ll need to load it into TensorFlow. We can do this using the tf.saved_model API. This API allows us to load a saved model and use it for inference or retraining. Next, we’ll create a TensorFlow session and use the loaded model to perform inference on some input data. Finally, we’ll print out the results of the inference. What is TensorFlow? TensorFlow is a powerful open-source software library for data analysis and machine learning. It was originally developed by researchers and engineers working on the Google Brain team within Google’s AI organization to conduct machine learning and deep neural networks research, but it has since been open sourced and is now used by developers all over the world. What are the benefits of using TensorFlow? TensorFlow is a powerful tool that can be used to build and train machine learning models. There are many benefits of using TensorFlow, including the ability to easily load data, train models, and deploy them in production. In addition, TensorFlow offers a variety of tools and libraries that make it easy to work with data and debug your code. TensorFlow Lite Interpreter Now Available on Android How to install TensorFlow? TensorFlow is an open source software library for high performance numerical computation. Its flexible architecture allows easy deployment of computation across a variety of platforms, from CPUs to GPUs and TPUs. How to load a model in TensorFlow? If you’re just getting started with TensorFlow, then you may be wondering how to actually get started using it. In this tutorial, we’ll show you how to load a pre-trained model in TensorFlow so that you can start using it for your own projects. How to use TensorFlow? TensorFlow is an open source platform for machine learning. It is a library that provides data flow programming across a range of tasks. TensorFlow was originally developed by researchers and engineers working on the Google Brain Team within Google’s Machine Intelligence research organization for the purposes of conducting machine learning and deep neural networks research, but the system is general enough to be applicable in a wide variety of other domains as well. In order to use TensorFlow, you first need to install it. You can do this by following the instructions on the TensorFlow website (https://www.tensorflow.org/install/). Once TensorFlow is installed, you can then start using it by creating a new Python file andimporting the library: import tensorflow as tf You can then begin to create your own TensorFlow program by following the tutorials on theTensorFlow website (https://www.tensorflow.org/tutorials/). What are the features of TensorFlow? TensorFlow is an open-source software library for machine learning that was developed by Google. It allows you to create dataflow graphs to build models and execute them. TensorFlow also has a Python API, which you can use to create your own models and application. TensorFlow to FPGA: How to Make the Transition Some of the features of TensorFlow are: – It allows you to create dataflow graphs. – It has a Python API. – It is open source. What are the applications of TensorFlow? TensorFlow is used for a variety of tasks, including: – Classification – Regression – Prediction – Optimization -and more! Conclusion We’ve covered a lot in this article – from what TensorFlow is, to how to install it, and then how to load a model in TensorFlow. We hope you found this guide helpful! References In this article, we will show you how to load a model in TensorFlow. You can either use the native TensorFlow format or a format compatible with TensorFlow’s SavedModel API. To use the native TensorFlow format, you will need to use the following code: import tensorflow as tf model = tf.keras.models.load_model(‘model.h5’) To use a format compatible with TensorFlow’s SavedModel API, you will need to use the following code: import tensorflow as tf import tempfile export_dir = tempfile.mkdtemp() tf.saved_model.simple_save(keras_model=model, export_dir=export_dir) Post navigation ← Previous Post Next Post → Related Posts Aug 15 2022 How to Use TensorFlow for Machine Learning (PDF) Aug 15 2022 TensorFlow Image Registration Tutorial Aug 15 2022 Setting an Array Element with a Sequence in TensorFlow Aug 15 2022 TensorFlow: Loss vs Accuracy About The Author joseph Search Search for: Search Overview: Introduction What is TensorFlow?

Storms have dumped up to 8 inches of rain in Raleigh, which has caused major flooding across the city. (Storyful)
It wasn’t even a tropical storm, but the lumbering low pressure system that crawled through the Southeast will go down in the record books as a historically prolific rainmaker.
North Carolina was hardest hit with rainfall amounts up to 10 inches between Sunday and Tuesday. Some of the heaviest totals concentrated near Raleigh, Winston-Salem and Wilmington, all of which experienced flooding.
The flooding shut down roads, swamped homes and businesses, necessitated swift-water rescues, and led to sewage spills, according to reports.
One person died in the flooding — the body discovered by a maintenance crew near a river in Raleigh.
Between Monday and Tuesday, 6.68 inches of rain drenched Raleigh, its seventh highest two-day rainfall total in recorded history. This is more than twice its normal rain for April in its entirety.
Estimated four-day rainfall in the Southeast. (National Weather Service)
The torrent came just six months after Hurricane Matthew unloaded 6.81 inches, the fifth wettest two-day event in the rankings.
Mon-Tue was officially the 7th wettest two-day period on record in Raleigh (3rd wettest that didn't involve a tropical cyclone) pic.twitter.com/dxigfyYkGy — MDA Weather Services (@MDA_Weather) April 26, 2017
Monday’s 4.51 inches in Raleigh were the most on record for a single day during the month of April. Between Sunday and Tuesday, it posted 7.45 inches.
While the heaviest rains have departed Raleigh, the flood risk remains as rivers continue to rise. Reports the Raleigh News and Observer:
The National Weather Service issued flood warnings for the Neuse, Tar, Cape Fear, Haw and Deep rivers. The Neuse had exceeded its flood stage of 15 feet at Smithfield early Tuesday and is expected to reach nearly 25 feet by Wednesday afternoon. At 23 feet, the river inundates Hospital and Buffalo roads and cuts off the town water treatment plant’s access to its reservoir. The river is expected to remain above flood stage until Friday night.
Latest forecast for the Neuse River at Kinston is for it to go above flood stage in the next 24 hours. More details: https://t.co/K3RfxRi6h4 pic.twitter.com/cnaRgbLFP2 — NWS Newport/Morehead (@NWSMoreheadCity) April 25, 2017
A number of roads remained closed because of floodwaters, the News and Observer said.
While the heaviest rainfall totals occurred in the Tarheel State, amounts of at least five inches were also reported in Tennessee, South Carolina and Virginia.
Winds were generally moderate where the heaviest rain fell in North Carolina’s interior, but at the coast, gusts reached tropical-storm force — in the 50 to 60 mph range. | positive |
One of the city’s longest-running and most popular venues stormed in a dramatic police raid, after investigation uncovered alleged drug dealing
A celebrated Liverpool nightclub faces permanent closure after being stormed on Thursday night by 140 police officers following a months-long investigation into the alleged dealing of class A drugs.
Merseyside police have applied for a closure order for the club, Garlands – one of Liverpool’s largest and longest-running venues popular with footballers, students and the LGBT community. A court hearing was due to place take on Friday in an attempt to permanently shut it down.
Detectives searching three floors of the club said large quantities of drugs were found on the premises, after about 300 revellers were evicted from the venue shortly after midnight during its busiest weeknight event, Gossip.
Facebook Twitter Pinterest Police discuss the raid
Two men aged 19 and 20 from the West Derby and Birkenhead areas were arrested on the premises on suspicion of supplying controlled drugs.
In a statement released to the Guardian, Merseyside police said they had “no option” but to raid the club. Ch Supt Jon Ward said: “Sadly, we have been given no option but to take positive action at this premises this evening following an extensive operation.
“Over the last few months officers have found that class A drugs and other substances were being dealt openly within the premises.”

Before the raid, Merseyside police had sent a series of tweets on carrying out a warrant to search the premises, and the raid itself.

Merseyside Police (@MerseyPolice) Garlands has now been closed by Merseyside Police following an investigation into drugs supply. A court hearing will take place later today.
Garlands, located on Erbe street in Liverpool’s city centre, is one of the country’s biggest gay-friendly nightclubs. It is popular with celebrities and has become something of a rite of passage for students.
Opening in 1993, it made its reputation with its brash style – with rooms called the Boudoir and Bedlam – attracting a large gay following and fashion crowd in the era of the superclub.
Alexander McQueen’s mentor and fashion icon Isabella Blow once used the club as the location for one of her fashion shoots for Tatler.
“Garlands” was trending on Twitter last night as users reacted to the raid.
James Forshaw (@jamesforsh13) What a sad day 😭 #garlands
Jasmine Blanche (@JasmineBlanche) Actually have some of my favourite memories in garlands... Would actually be sad to see it get shut down
Chloe Millward (@chloemillward) As much as I have a love hate relationship with Garlands proper wish I went recently fml✋
Alisha Rouse (@AlishaRouse) People bringing brought out of Garlands. A lot of anger here from staff. https://t.co/34xE8oqBlZ
Garlands previously made headlines when Queens Park Rangers footballer Joey Barton was headbutted outside the venue.

Tesla completed its $2.6 billion acquisition of SolarCity this week, and, to celebrate, the company has announced a major solar energy project: wiring up the whole island of Ta’u in American Samoa. Previously, the island ran on diesel generators, but over the past year Tesla has installed a microgrid of solar energy panels and batteries that will supply "nearly 100 percent" of power needs for Ta’u’s 600 residents.
The project seems intended to show off the potential benefits of the SolarCity acquisition, with Ta’u’s microgrid comprised of 5,328 solar panels from SolarCity and Tesla, along with 60 Tesla Powerpacks batteries for storage. But buying SolarCity remains a risky move for Tesla, with the purchase including billions of dollars of debt for a company that's far from profitable (SolarCity spends $6 for every $1 it makes in sales). Nevertheless, Tesla CEO Elon Musk describes the acquisition as "blindingly obvious" — a necessary step in his so-called "Master Plan" to integrate clean energy generation and storage.
The project in Ta’u shows the benefit of this. It was funded by American Samoan and US authorities (including the Department of Interior), and Tesla says it will offset the island’s use of more than 109,500 gallons of diesel per year, as well as the expense of shipping that fuel in. (That's the amount of fuel used by one generator; the island has three of these in case one breaks, but most of the time only one is in use.) "Factoring in the escalating cost of fuel, along with transporting such mass quantities to the small island, the financial impact is substantial," said Tesla in a blog post.
The microgrid will allow the island to stay fully powered for three days without sunlight, and its capacity will recharge fully in seven hours. Local businesses, along with essential services like the hospital, police, and fire stations, will all use solar power "This project will help lessen the carbon footprint of the world," local resident Keith Ahsoon said in a Tesla blog post. "Living on an island, you experience global warming firsthand. Beach erosions and other noticeable changes are a part of life here. It’s a serious problem, and this project will hopefully set a good example for everyone else to follow."

Cubs Prospect Notes: Happ, Albertos, Johnson, Cease, Rice, Candelario, Jimenez, More Cubs Bears Bulls Blackhawks Baseball is Fun Illinois Online Sports Betting DraftKings Illinois Caesars Illinois FanDuel Illinois Barstool Illinois BetMGM Illinois PointsBet Illinois BetRivers Illinois Cubs Bears Bulls Blackhawks Baseball is Fun Illinois Online Sports Betting DraftKings Illinois Caesars Illinois FanDuel Illinois Barstool Illinois BetMGM Illinois PointsBet Illinois BetRivers Illinois Skip to content Social Navigation Cubs Prospect Notes: Happ, Albertos, Johnson, Cease, Rice, Candelario, Jimenez, More June 26, 2016, by Michael Cerami Chicago Cubs How about some prospect notes from around the Cubs’ organization for your Sunday pleasure? Jose Albertos had a dominant game on Thursday for the AZL Cubs, throwing four innings, while allowing zero runs on just one hit and seven strikeouts. Albertos, you’ll recall signed a $1.5 million deal with the Cubs as a 16-year-old out of Mexico last season. According to Arizona Phil, Albertos was “masterful beyond his years,” staying ahead of hitters, keeping them off balance and striking them out with ease. Although, when you feature a 96-98 MPH fastball alongside a plus change and an occasional curveball, keeping batters off balance might not be as difficult as it should be. That’s a really good start for the extremely young youngster. It’s often said that the Cubs system is vacant of any talented starting pitching prospects, but that is of course untrue. That said, one of the most promising ones, Pierce Johnson, has struggled to stay on the field over the past few seasons. Unfortunately, that goes for this season as well as any. Iowa Cubs pitcher Pierce Johnson is back on the disabled list after leaving his last start with a blister on his pitching hand. While that may not seem like much, it’s actually the third time Johnson has been hurt this season. His first trip to the DL was due to a come-backer hitting him in his pitching arm and the second came from a strained lat. Although a come-backer (or even a blister, to an extent) aren’t things entirely within his control, the presence of the other injuries make those absences even worse. For a guy so close to the majors, the injures are especially frustrating for everyone involved. We’ve told the story a number of times before, but it’s as interesting as ever now that he’s back on the field. Dylan Cease, the Cubs 6th round pick of the 2014 MLB Draft, was widely considered a first round talent by most teams at the time. The reason he didn’t get selected earlier, though, was because he was set to undergo Tommy John surgery just after the draft. The Cubs, however, having saved money on the under-slot selection of Kyle Schwarber, enticed Cease to forego his commitment to Vanderbilt and begin his rehab under the Cubs guidance with a $1.5 million bonus. He accepted, and here we are two years later … and Cease is hitting 100 MPH on the radar gun. “The fastball is definitely my best pitch,” Cease said via Steve Mims at The Register-Guard, “I will hit 100 [MPH] every once in a while and sit at 96 or 97 if I’m feeling good.” He later added that he’s got a much better feel for his curveball than he ever has in the past and that he feels as strong and confident as ever. It’s a nice profile piece on Cease if you want more reading. Indeed, in his first start this season for the Eugene Emeralds, Cease pitched 4 innings (likely by design), allowing just 1 earned run on 2 hits and 1 walk while striking out 2 batters. And then in his second start, Cease went another 4 innings, while allowing 1 earned run again on 3 hits and no walks, only this time he struck out 7 batters. Cease ranked 6th on the BN Top 40 Prospect list, but may be on the rise, given his immense upside and increasing arm strength. The Cubs system may not have a lot of sure-fire arms in the upper minors, but talented young pitchers they have; Cease chief among them. At Baseball America, Ian Happ – the Cubs 2015 first round pick (9th overall) – made the Prospect Hot Sheet for his play from June 17 – June 23. That week, Happ slashed .588/.667/1.176 with five doubles, a triple, a homer and four walks. Happ was just promoted to Double-A Tennessee and is looking, so far, like another polished college bat on the rise for Chicago. He even hit his first AA dinger last night. Ian Rice indicated on Twitter that he’s being promoted to High-A Myrtle Beach after a nice start to the season, himself, with the South Bend Cubs. The 22-year-old catcher had been working behind the plate for the SB Cubs, where he slashed a fantastic .306/.404/.589 slash line with a walk rate over 15% and a strikeout rate of just 17.9% in roughly 150 plate appearances. However you feel about the Cubs system, you have to given them one thing: they have a heck of a lot of players with walk rates that nearly match their K-rates. And that’s just fine by me. [Brett: Michael got these notes started, and I just wanted to add a few here at the end.] Although he got off to a slower start than most were expecting at AA, Jeimer Candelario – remember how big of a story he was in Spring Training after killing it there and in the AFL? – is laying waste to AAA. Since he was promoted 70 plate appearances ago, he’s hitting .357/.471/.661 with his typically excellent walk and strikeout rates. Yes, the BABIP (.439) is going to come down, and the ISO (.264) is far higher than it’s ever been for him (though trending up toward .150 as he’s progressed, which is solid). But if the Cubs keep having injury problems at the big league level, it’s not at all inconceivable that Candelario, who is on the 40-man roster already, could be the next youngster (he’s only 22) tapped to help out. Presently, Candelario has played only third and first base, but it’s worth wondering whether he could also cover a corner outfield spot if necessary. Outfielder Mark Zagunis, 23, came up from AA at the same time as Candelario, and he’s also been killing it since that promotion: .308/.387/.523. I need to sit down: Ortiz threw a 99 mile per hour fastball to Jimenez. Jimenez HR had a 116 mile per hour exit velocity.

Cairo is coming unhinged. From razing a buffer zone between the Sinai Peninsula and the Gaza Strip, to criminalizing membership in the Muslim Brotherhood, to using lethal force against activists who violate the country’s protest law, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi has crafted an internal security strategy heavy on birdshot, bulldozers, and pliant judges.
Foreign policy realists may argue that Egypt’s domestic problems are its own; they don’t change U.S. strategic interests. The Obama administration’s release of previously embargoed military aid to Egypt—and simultaneous concession that the country’s human rights record is cause for concern—would seem to align with that reading.
However, it is not true that domestic politics can be quarantined from foreign policy. In fact, Egypt’s domestic and foreign policies are becoming more entangled by the day. And that bleed-over should raise concerns.
Brendan Smialowski / Reuters U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry meets with Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry in Cairo June, 22, 2014.
THE NEAR AND FAR ENEMY
In its approach to internal security, the regime fails to differentiate—and some would argue purposefully conflates—extremists with non-violent political opponents. As Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry recently argued, “the difference between the Muslim Brotherhood and the Islamic State is not large.” Such sentiments are nothing new in Egypt, but what is new is the fervor the regime cultivates in rooting out the Islamist scourge and its translation into foreign policy.
During the Muslim Brotherhood’s political ascent after the 2011 Revolution, those opposed to the group became wary of what they referred to the “Ikhwanization” of the state. From security personnel sporting beards to banks issuing bonds that conformed to the principles of Islamic finance, opponents of the Muslim Brotherhood saw these developments as signs of an Islamist takeover. After the Brotherhood was removed from power in 2013 and was subsequently declared a terrorist organization, the new government pushed to “de-Ikhwanize” the state—a pursuit that extends into the foreign policy realm.

With only one game left in Venezuela what players have helped their careers with their performance in Caracas? For me there are a few obvious candidates: 1) Jack Martinez - Dominican Republic. Yack was dominating the boards last summer at the Tournament of the Americas but very few people took notice. He is 30 and plays in Argentina, I would think that there will be more than one European suitor going after Martinez next season. 2) P.J. Ramos - Puerto Rico. Like Martinez he was dominant in the paint. Ramos is a known commodity having played with the Wizards earlier in his career but he spent the past few years in China. The Chinese may be paying him well but I'd struggle to believe that he couldn't find an even more attractive contract in Europe. 3) Ike Diogu - Nigeria. Another known commodity who bounced around the NBA. He last played in China and recently signed with a team in Puerto Rico. He can surely do better than that and he's still only 28. 4) Eduardo Mingas - Angola. A substantially undersized player who still managed to average 20 points and nearly 6 rebounds against good competition. He also plays domestically in Angola. He could be a steal for a team with a limited budget but I couldn't imagine him landing with Eurocup-esque team due to his size. ZEUS 07-08-2012, 01:35 PM Nice scouting report skang. Where do you source your information from? skangles 07-08-2012, 05:14 PM I am always looking up which clubs the players are on during the timeouts of the games that I'm watching. It helps to contextualize who's who and makes the games more entertaining to watch. Most of this information is on wikipedia or fiba.com. For the guys above there is definitely a gap between talent exhibited and current club so I think that there is an opportunity for them to move up in their careers. There are players like Vitaly Fridzon of Russia that I knew very little about before this tournament that have looked great but as he already on a big club like Khimki it is tough to say that his stock is really rising. skangles 08-01-2012, 03:00 AM Thus far in the Olympics there are a few names that really jump out at me in terms of guys who have increased their market value: 1) Makrem Ben Romdhane - Tunisia. This dude just played the game of his life against the US. He was slashing at will, getting to the rim and was a beast on the glass. His stat line? 22 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists. Couple that with his 12 and 12 performance in the loss against Nigeria and the fact that he is just 23 years old and currently playing for Ãtoile Sportive du Sahel in Tunisia and yes I'd say he just drastically increased his disposable income. If I am any team in the French league I'm on the phone with his agent right now trying to lure him to France due to the linguistic familiarity plus I think the style of play in France would be conducive to what Ben Romdhane offers. There is no reason why he couldn't be playing for at least a Eurocup level team next season. 2) Yi Jianlian - China. Unlike Ben Romdhane who came out of nowhere Yi has been a known commodity for years after the Milwaukee Bucks wasted the sixth overall pick of the 2007 draft on him. <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/suicide.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' /> He's been an NBA journeyman ever since failing to be a mainstay anywhere but in this Olympic he has been doing a pretty good Yao Ming impersonation for China. He's gone 30/12 against Spain and 16/7 against Russia. That should be good enough to all but ensure that he is able to make an NBA bench next year for a team looking for interior depth. That was far from a given going into this tournament. I know some Euroleague teams are after him and I'd love to see him go over to Europe where I feel he could really make an impact. After all he is only 27 err...umm...24! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' /> 3) Saleh Mejri - Tunisia. Whilst Yi and Ben Romdhane have benefited from their electric performances thus far, Mejri has benefited from just being seen. He is 26 years old and legitimate 7'1" (217cm). He had 2 points, 10 rebounds and 3 blocks against Nigeria and 4 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks against the US. Like Ben Romdhane he plays for Ãtoile Sportive du Sahel in Tunisia. While his statline isn't super imposing, I certainly would take a flyer on him if I needed to boost my presence in the paint.

He was awesome in his first 20 games or so in the league. Then teams started to scout him and shut him down. He had absolutely no way to breakdown the defense from that point onwards. He still got plenty of playing time in Milwaukee until he was dumped with Bobby Simmons to the Nets for Richard Jefferson. He's been a journeyman ever since. I think that he'll make an NBA roster because of his Olympic team but I cannot see any team offering major minutes until he earns it. His past 5 years in the league have left too much of a lasting impression to ignore. I do agree with the general sentiment of your post whereby he really needs a situation like the Wolves gave to Darko to have a chance of success. I don't think that he'll get this in the NBA which is why I think that Europe is a better option for him. skangles 08-01-2012, 11:05 PM [quote name='Kenneth23' timestamp='1343811014' post='38767'] Nice scouting report skangles.

From the Olympics he looks like way too much of a project to be taken seriously and he is already 26. I don't see anyway he could deliver at the NBA level. I also think he'd get run out of town in the Euroleague. He looks more like the type of player who would be successful in Germany to me and that's not such a bad thing! skangles 08-04-2012, 06:33 PM 4) Antanas Kavaliauskas - Lithuania. Typing this even shocks myself. When Javtokas went down and Kemzura brought in Kavaliauskas, I thought Kemzura was really enjoying whatever it is that he was smoking. It turns out to have been a great decision. Here is another shocking statement: If you give me a healthy Javtokas or Kavaliauskas playing like he's currently been playing I would take Kavaliauskas <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' /> Kavaliaukas has been the ultimate role player. He's not going to take over the game, he's not going to create plays but he does all the small things that allow the Lithuanian "stars" to do their thing whilst anchoring it for the team. In short he just plays smart basketball and this won't show up in the box score. At both ends of the court Lithuania plays more organized with a much better structure when he is out there than when they go with Valanciunas or Songaila. He has most definitely earned the playing time that he has received from Kemzura. So let's go to his vitals, he is 27 years old and not huge at 6'10" (2.09cm) and he already plays for a pretty good team in VEF Riga. VEF plays in the VTB league and played in the Euroleague qualification tournament last year (losing in the first round to Alba Berlin). I'm not sure that Kavaliauskas will make a move since he's already playing at a high level but I could see a team like Lietuvos Rytas being interested in bringing him back to Lithuania to help fill the void of Valanciunas.

[/quote] Mejri played good at times. He was a fan favorite of the fans of his team. In his second season he wanted to be the man and started taking shots that he can't make. He also started to take a lot of three-point shots for a center. He wanted to be the best player because he wanted to play in the NBA. You could see that he didn't wanted to stay in Belgium anymore. Against Andre Riddick, he often was outplayed. Riddick may be old but I love him as a player because he's defense anchor. Mejri is probably going to Spain to play for Lagun Aro Btw good post on Kavaliauskas <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/thup.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':thup:' /> skangles 08-10-2012, 02:31 AM Apparently the correct answer to the stock rising question is Chamberlain Oguchi from Nigeria, as he is drawing interest from several NBA teams. He scored 35 points against France but he didn't look all that impressive in the games that I saw him play in London and Caracas. Kenneth23 08-10-2012, 10:11 AM I agree with you Skangles. But this is an example of how one game can put you in picture of teams. He'll probably will go to a NBA camp but I don't think that he'll get a contract Raze Lupin 08-10-2012, 10:57 AM Russia +7 USA +15 Kenneth23 08-10-2012, 01:15 PM [quote name='Raze Lupin' timestamp='1344592660' post='38926'] Russia +7 USA +15 [/quote] I think you posted in the wrong topic Raze skangles 08-11-2012, 04:52 AM 5) Carlos Delfino - Argentina. This is another unconventional stock rising pick but hear me out. Carlos came into this tournament an unrestricted free agent having spent the past three seasons with the Milwaukee Bucks. It was a bit of a risky decision given that he would have no guaranteed money should he get injured and given that he remained unsigned he wasn't garnering a great deal of attention (he was spurned by the Bucks which had him a bit worked up). I suspect that the risk may have paid off for Carlos beyond the satisfaction of representing his country given how he has played in London (15 ppg and a perimeter threat). The Bucks paid Delfino $3.5m last year which I think was a heck of a bargain. Carlos will never be the star of the team but put him with some quality teammates and he can be a very, very good role player. I think that he has been solid in Milwaukee but Bucks fans are pretty happy not to have him back. The real issue is that the Bucks lacked the quality teammates necessary for Delfino to thrive. I'm really intrigued to see if Philadelphia picks him up following the Bynum trade. They were already showing interest and moving Iguodala to Denver makes Delfino and even more obvious signing for them. Cleveland has also expressed interest. No matter where he signs, he has absolutely helped himself with his play in the Olympics. Kenneth23 08-13-2012, 10:24 PM I agree with you Skangles on Delfino. He played good and I think that his playing at the Olympics will earn him a bigger contract. A team like Houston would be a good team for him or maybe Phoenix where his friend Scola is going to play. I think that Delfino would fit in the run and gun system of Phoenix. He could have a same role like Leandro Barbosa. skangles 08-14-2012, 03:47 AM The Rockets signed Carlos Delfino to a one year deal with a second year team option. I haven't seen the value of the deal but on the surface it makes absolutely no sense to either Delfino or the Rockets. Houston now has 22 players under contract! <img src='http://www.talkbasket.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/blink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=' ' /> And as Houston is going nowhere anytime soon, if I'm the Rockets, I'd want to give Jeremy Lamb as much playing time as possible. Jeremy Lamb could maybe pan out and has the potential of being a player that could lead the team back to success. Carlos Delfino certainly won't be that player. Rumors have the deal at less than $2.5m. If that's the case, I'm shocked that he couldn't have gotten that type of money from a team that made more sense (Philly, Cleveland or Phoenix as you noted Kenneth). Actually for a one year guaranteed deal, if I were Delfino I would have packed up and come back over to Europe. His Khimki deal was 3 years 8.5m euros net!! He probably wouldn't get quite that much at this point as he is nearly 30 but now was the time for him to cash in and it looks like he blew it. Kenneth23 08-14-2012, 09:27 PM A lot of players on Houstons roster are free agents or will be waived to make room for Delfino. I agree with you Skangles on Lamb, I hope that he'll get enough playing time now that Delfino is signed. I think that Delfino has signed with Houston because he liked the organization that they have with all the young players they have. The agent of Delfino said in a newspaper that there was interest from European teams for Delfino but that Delfino doesn't want to return to Europe because he wants to keep on playing in the NBA. Maybe in a couple of years Delfino will come back to Europe TalkBasket.net Basketball Forums > General Basketball Forums > INTERNATIONAL TOURNAMENTS > International Basketball Archive > London 2012 > Pre-Olympic and Olympic: Stock Rising Powered By MyBB 1.8.30, © 2002-2022 MyBB Group | negative |

One U.S. Marine assigned to covert activities in Europe with the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) was Capt. Peter J. Ortiz, who was twice decorated with the Navy Cross. Here he receives his first Navy Cross from Adm. Harold R. Stark in London, U.K. Photo courtesy of Dick Camp
Approximately 80 officers and 200 enlisted men from the Marine Corps served in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II. In that group was one of the most decorated Marines in World War II and the most decorated member of the OSS, Col. Pierre “Peter” Julien Ortiz, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve, whose military career actually began in the French Foreign Legion. Tall, handsome, urbane, and sophisticated, Ortiz spoke 10 languages and was fluent in several, including French and Arabic. His decorations include two Navy Crosses, the Legion of Merit with Valor device, two Purple Hearts, the Ouissam Alaouite, five Croix de Guerre, the Croix du Combattants, the Médaille des Blesses, the Médaille des Evadés, the Médaille Colonial, Chevalier of the Légion d’honneur, and Order of the British Empire, among others. His exploits during the war combined aspects of Errol Flynn, Chesty Puller, and James Bond.
Ortiz was born in New York City in 1913 to an American mother and a French-Spanish father who was prominent in the French publishing industry. After a childhood spent in Southern California, his father sent Peter and his older sister, Inez, to French boarding schools to complete their education. Despite achieving good grades, Ortiz was bored with college, and in 1932, at age 19 and craving adventure, he enlisted in the French Foreign Legion. He found the adventure he sought in the Moroccan Rif, where he earned his first two Croix de Guerre fighting Rif Berbers.
Discharged in 1937 with the rank of sergeant, he returned to Southern California, where he worked in Hollywood as a technical adviser on war films. With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, Ortiz re-enlisted in the Legion and was commissioned a lieutenant. Wounded and captured by the Germans during the Battle of France in 1940, he successfully escaped after about a year-and-a-half as a POW, and eventually made his way back to the United States. Ortiz offered his services to the U.S. Army Air Corps, who promised him a commission. But impatient over the delays in processing his paperwork, on June 22, 1942, he enlisted in the Marines.
His presence in formation for the first time at Parris Island became a learning moment for everyone present when the drill instructor (DI) balefully noticed the decorations on recruit Ortiz’s chest. Two weeks after the DI had vocally satisfied his curiosity regarding the identity and provenance of said decorations, the Parris Island commander was writing to the commandant of the Marine Corps requesting confirmation of Ortiz’s service in the French Foreign Legion, noting Ortiz was a “unique new recruit” with “knowledge of military matters … far beyond that of a normal recruit” and recommended that Ortiz receive a commission. On Aug. 16, Ortiz was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps, retroactive from July 24, 1942.
With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, Ortiz re-enlisted in the Legion and was commissioned a lieutenant. Wounded and captured by the Germans during the Battle of France in 1940, he successfully escaped after about a year-and-a-half as a POW, and eventually made his way back to the United States.
Initially, he was assigned as an assistant training officer at Camp Lejeune. Two months later, Ortiz was sent to the New River Parachute Training School. Having previously completed parachutist training in the Legion and with 154 jumps under his belt, Ortiz took his re-education with good humor, later saying, “The Legion had its way and the Marine Corps had the right way; I never minded jumping. Airplane travel always made me sick, so I was happy to jump out.”
In the wake of the successful Allied landings in French Northwest Africa in Operation Torch, because of his language skills and Légionnaire’s experience in the region, Ortiz received a promotion to captain and assignment to the OSS. On Jan. 13, 1943, he arrived in Morocco officially as assistant naval attaché and Marine Corps observer, Algiers. But that was just a cover. His real assignment was that of a member of an OSS team working with Britain’s Special Operations Executive (SOE) along the Tunisian border in Operation Brandon.
In War Report of the OSS, the official history of OSS operations in World War II, Kermit Roosevelt wrote, “Participation in this British operation constituted the first OSS experience in sabotage and combat intelligence teams in front areas and behind enemy lines. That the jobs actually done by the handful of OSS men who joined in the SOE Tunisian campaign were not typical of future activity was due as much to the exigencies of the battle situation as to the misunderstanding of their function by the British and American Army officers whom they served.” In other words, instead of collecting intelligence and conducting sabotage, the teams were sent on reconnaissance missions and ordered to find and kill Germans.
In February, Ortiz was in Gafsa when the Battle of Kasserine Pass was launched. During the action Ortiz literally found himself traveling all across the battlefield. He witnessed the panicked flight of American soldiers during the opening hours of the German offensive, briefly fought with an armored reconnaissance unit from the British Derbyshire Yeomanry, then linked up and fought with elements of the American 1st Armored Division. Upon crossing paths with an old Légionnaire friend who was now a captain, Ortiz attached himself to his friend’s unit and fought a desperate action near Pichon. | positive |
5 Tips For Working With A Remote Client
In a world where more and more digital agencies and freelancer work with remote clients the need to to build trust is a top priority. Not meeting your client physically will naturally make them anxious. Alleviating their anxiety should be a top priority.
Have a process that kicks off as soon as you’ve received the first deposit. It will help you tremendously in quickly establishing a sound relationship with your remote client.
Here are tips on how to gradually gain trust from your remote client. The trick is to keep working on it all throughout the process of a web project.
Make sure you show your remote client that you’re disciplined
Start off the project with sending them an email where you explain your process. Prepare your remote client by telling them how the project will be executed. Explain your design process. Be very proactive, always work on alleviating their anxiety.
Make sure you show your work early
When working with a remote client show them that you’re actually working on their project. Use screenshots, videos, HTML prototypes etc. Involve them early!
Make sure you show your work often
You should also show them your work often. Don’t wait two weeks to update your client. Give them a brief update every day. At least every couple of days. Show them that you’re doing real progress on their project. Set reminders to make sure you’re keeping your client in the loop.
Make sure you’re available

Authorities removed the fourth and final Confederate-related statue in New Orleans on May 19. (Thomas Johnson/The Washington Post)
Last week, New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu oversaw the removal of four Confederate monuments. It was just the latest chapter in the contentious battle over the official display of Confederate symbols.
By now, the debate is familiar. People who favor removal say Confederate icons symbolize white supremacy. People who favor displaying these icons see them as racially innocuous reminders of history.
But what is less well-known is the actual history of these symbols after the Civil War — and this history sheds important light on the debate. Confederate symbols have not always been a part of American or Southern life. They largely disappeared after the Civil War. And when they reappeared, it was not because of a newfound appreciation of Southern history.
Instead, as we argue in a newly published article, white Southerners reintroduced these symbols as a means of resisting the Civil Rights movement. The desire to maintain whites’ dominant position in the racial hierarchy of the United States was at the root of the rediscovery of Confederate symbols.
To understand what motivated the newfound interest in Confederate symbols, we followed the historical record. We examined a range of documents, including the Congressional Record, debates in state legislatures and other period documents. Our goal was to understand the goals of those supporting Confederate symbols, using their own words in many cases. Here is what we found.
For several decades after the Civil War, the Confederate battle emblem was rarely displayed — typically only during tributes to actual Confederate veterans. It was not part of state flags or other official symbols or displays. In fact, the Confederate battle flag was so uncommon that in 1930, Sen. Coleman Livingston Blease had to have one specially made by the Daughters of South Carolina for him to display in his office.
It wasn’t until 1948 that the Confederate flag re-emerged as a potent political symbol. The reason was the Dixiecrat revolt — when Strom Thurmond led a walkout of white Southerners from the Democratic National Convention to protest President Harry S. Truman’s push for civil rights. The Dixiecrats began to use the Confederate flag, which sparked further public interest in it.
Consequently, the flag became strongly linked to white supremacy and opposition to civil rights for African Americans. In 1951, Rep. John Rankin (D-Miss.), a very outspoken segregationist, proudly announced that he had “never seen as many Confederate flags in all my life as I have observed floating here in Washington during the last few months.” Rankin himself wore a Confederate flag necktie to serve as a constant reminder of his opposition to “beastly” integration policies.
In 1954, the Supreme Court’s decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which ordered the desegregation of public primary schools, focused the energies and ire of hardcore segregationists throughout the South. Efforts to resist school integration and other civil rights protections for African Americans included the display of Confederate symbols and especially the Confederate battle flag.

For example, within a year of Brown, there was a push to redesign Georgia’s state flag to incorporate the Confederate battle emblem. The flag containing the emblem was designed by John Sammons Bell, chairman of the Georgia Democratic Party and leader of the powerful Association of County Commissioners (ACC).
The ACC adopted and circulated resolutions supporting the Confederate emblem as “symbolic of the traditions it represents … ” One resolution made clear what those traditions were: it stated that Brown was “an affront and challenge to the traditions of our people … [and] this Association and its members … pledge … to protect and maintain the segregation of the races in our schools.” None of the ACC resolutions mentioned Confederate soldiers or their cause.
The new flag was approved by the Georgia legislature and officially adopted in 1956. Denmark Groover, who guided the bill through the State House, frankly admitted that “the Confederate symbol was added mostly out of defiance to federal integration orders.”
The current debates over Confederate symbols were ignited by Dylann Roof’s murder of nine black churchgoers in Charleston, S.C., in 2015. The racially motivated killings produced new opposition to Confederate icons in public spaces. Gov. Nikki Haley of South Carolina called for the removal of the flag from the grounds of the state Capitol, and Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe began the process of removing it from state license plates. Local governments throughout the South began considering the removal of monuments memorializing the Confederate cause and the renaming of school districts, highways and parks that honor Confederate figures.
But not everyone has reacted that way. In late May, Alabama legislators approved a bill aiming to prohibit the “relocation, removal, alteration, renaming, or other disturbance of any architecturally significant building, memorial building, memorial street, or monument” that has stood on public property for 40 years or more. Mississippi has a similar policy.
Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant has also declared April to be “Confederate Heritage Month” and April 24 to be “Confederate Memorial Day.” In Georgia, state Rep. Tommy Benton (R) recently introduced similar resolutions. Benton’s bill died in the Georgia General Assembly, but its introduction, and similar moves elsewhere in the Deep South, shows that many politicians remain committed to protecting Confederate symbols.
Today, many proponents of Confederate symbols do not appeal directly to racial animus. Still, the politics of Confederate symbols have not changed completely: In surveys of whites, racial animus correlates strongly with support for Confederate symbols. Opponents of these symbols continue to make the connection to race. Alabama state Sen. Hank Sanders, an African American, spoke against his state’s bill by saying: These bills “are protecting monuments that represent oppression to a large part of the people in the state of Alabama.”
The actual history of these Confederate symbols suggests that Sanders is right. These symbols were not widely used after the Civil War, but were reintroduced in the middle of the 20th century by white Southerners to fight against civil rights for African Americans. These basic historical facts provide more reasons to dispense with narratives of a racially innocuous Confederate past.

Minor League Prospect Note: Clayton Blackburn, RHP, San Francisco Giants
San Francisco Giants pitching prospect Clayton Blackburn has emerged as one of the most intriguing prospects in baseball this year. You will be hearing his name more often entering 2013, so let's take a look.
Clayton Blackburn was a successful high school pitcher in Edmond, Oklahoma, entering the 2011 draft season. However, most teams felt he was strongly committed to baseball at the University of Oklahoma, plus the prep ranks in the Sooner state were filled to the brim with pitching last year. With everyone in on Dylan Bundy and Archie Bradley (don't forget Michael Fulmer, Adrian Houser, Mason Hope, and Hayden Sharp), Blackburn got lost in the shuffle and fell to the 16th round.
The Giants signed him easily for just $150,000; he was expected to demand a much larger bonus, but he wanted to get his career started. This looks like a huge bargain.
Blackburn was unbeatable in rookie ball, posting a 1.08 ERA with a 30/3 K/BB in 33 innings in the Arizona League, allowing just 16 hits, posting a 2.58 GO/AO. The Giants moved him directly to Low-A Augusta in the Sally League for 2012 and he's been excellent, with a 2.54 ERA, a 143/18 K/BB ratio in 131 innings, and just 116 hits allowed. He's given up only three homers all year, while posting a 2.32 GO/AO.
Sabermetrically, this guy is terrific. He racks up strikeouts at a strong clip, gets plenty of ground balls at the same time, and never walks anyone. His stats are superb for anyone, let alone a 19-year-old in a full-season league.
Blackburn is a left-handed hitter and a right-handed thrower, born January 6th, 1993, in Amarillo, Texas. He is stocky at 6-3, 220, and his body is physically mature: he's unlikely to gain additional height or strength, which is part of the reason he slipped in the draft, as he lacks classic projection. Scouts also worry that he may gain weight too much as he gets older, and he'll have to work hard to stay in shape.
All that said, physical projection is less important if you already throw hard, and Blackburn does, working in the low-90s with his fastball. He uses a two-seamer to induce grounders, and his fastball is notable for both nasty movement and solid velocity. Unlike many pitchers his age, he also commands the fastball well, and frequently this has been more than Low-A hitters can handle.
Blackburn also has a complete arsenal of secondary pitches, using a curveball, slider, and changeup. The curve is the best of the group at this point, but all should be at least major league average as he matures, and possibly more. Again, his ability to command his pitches helps them play up. His mound presence and feel for his craft are also quite impressive, especially for his age.
Pitchers like Blackburn usually make short work of the low minors, and with his ability to collect both strikeouts and grounders, I expect he'll handle High-A just fine in 2013. Double-A will be a bigger challenge, and it is one he could very well meet next year. Right now I rate him as a Grade B prospect, with a shot at being a mid-rotation starter. | positive |
DOVER, Del. -- Joe Gibbs Racing hopes to get Kyle Busch's contract extended well before it expires after the 2013 season.
Team president J.D. Gibbs said on Sunday at Dover International Speedway he would like to have a new deal "sooner rather than later" and he believes it is Busch's intention to stay.
"It's always neat to have it done sooner than later," Gibbs said. "All of our drivers, different times, when it works, what fits? We're in that process now."
Gibbs said there is no sense of urgency from JGR or Busch to get an extension done before the end of this season.
"He doesn't feel like it's a big panic to do it," Gibbs said. "Contracts nowadays, there's just a lot of stuff in them. There's the whole appearance thing, there's the whole what you are required to do, how do you mix it?
"Personally, I would love it to go sooner than later, but we're in no panic mode." | positive |
Invesco’s (NYSE: IVZ) PowerShares, the fourth-largest U.S. ETF sponsor, is planning to introduce a multi-strategy alternative exchange traded fund later this month.
The PowerShares Multi-Strategy Alternative Portfolio is expected to begin trading on May 29 on the NASDAQ under the ticker “LALT.” LALT, which will be actively managed, is designed to damp portfolio volatility while boosting risk-adjusted returns. The new ETF will employ a long-short strategy.
Illinois-based PowerShares is partnering with Morgan Stanley (NYSE: MS) on the new ETF.
“Morgan Stanley has an established platform of proprietary liquid alternative indices across asset classes,” said Nikki Tippins, Managing Director, Head of Americas Equity Derivatives Distribution, in a statement. “The Morgan Stanley Multi-Strategy Alternative Index is designed to combine such strategies that seek to offer attractive risk-adjusted returns with low correlation to traditional asset classes. We’re delighted to provide this benchmark for such an original ETF.” | positive |
Vladimir Putin's envoy in Scotland has mocked Britain's nuclear deterrent and the Royal Navy as not being worth spying on.
In a letter to The Herald, Russian consul-general Andrey Pritsepov dismissed reports that his country's submarines were "lurking" near Faslane to keep tabs on Trident missile-carriers.
However, the diplomat did so by suggesting Russians would not vote for a leader who commended his navy to chase "someone's sold and lonely operative u-boat which is firing missiles in the opposite direction".
Mr Pritsepov's dig echoes reports in Kremlin-controlled Russian-language media earlier this year which said the "waves now ruled Britannia". Moscow experts - citing reports that the Royal Navy was having difficulty deploying its ageing Trident submarines - have said the UK is "naked under the sea". The diplomat also appears to be referencing the misfiring of a missile by the submarines in recent tests.
Mr Pritsepov also suggested the Russian navy would have no need to follow "Type 45 destroyers with faulty engines or an aircraft carrier without aircrafts on it, all of them being located in Scottish waters".
The Russian criticised the Herald for, like other UK media, publishing claims Russian subs were close to Faslane. UK and Russian underwater vessels are understood to play cat and mouse regularly. Mr Pritsepov said such accounts should be taken with a pinch of salt.
A Trident missile launch
His mocking on the Royal Navy echoes concerns in the British military about the readiness of the British fleet, which has shrunk in recent years and which has little surface presence in Scottish waters. However, Russia's own navy, always seen as its cinderella service, has its own problems. This month it emerged plans for a £9bn nuclear-powered super-carrier to carry scores of fighters had been put on hold. This ship was to replace its sole ageing aircraft carrier, the Admiral Kuznetsov, which has steamed past Scotland several times in recent years, often belching black smoke.

According to the latest poll, President Obama remains ahead of all potential GOP rivals, but Ron Paul maintains a decisive lead in the Independent category.
Mitt Romney, Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, and Newt Gingrich all lead President Obama when it comes to Independents, but Paul is by far the most popular. In the hypothetical GOP field, Paul receives the highest favorable ratings amongst Independents and leads Obama by 18% in this rapidly growing segment of the national electorate.
This number appears to confirm Paul’s earlier showing in a Rasmussen poll, though this time, Paul trails Obama by 10% overall. In this more recent poll, Paul’s weak support from Republicans seems to be a significant statistical weakness.
While Dr. Paul’s strict constitutional approach, staunch fiscal conservatism, and anti-war platform garner strong support from Independent voters, Republican voters remain largely unimpressed. As I’ve written previously, the numbers continue to support the premise that Ron Paul’s only legitimate chance of running a competitive presidential campaign in 2012 would be a third party, Independent bid.

As it stands now, most of the GOP base rejects his foreign policy, while Independents, Democrats, and libertarian-minded Republicans offer a more widespread base of support. | positive |

This may seem like a daunting prospect, but there are many people out there who have struck out and succeeded in making their business dreams become a reality. So why do people decide to follow this path? Here are just some of the reasons: 1. Challenges Setting up a business presents obstacles that you would not otherwise face if you continued working for someone else. These include keeping track of your finances, hiring and managing staff and conducting market research. 2. Learn new skills and knowledge In order to overcome the challenges you will be presented with in your business venture, you will pick up new skills and enhance existing ones. These include time management, organisation, communication, teamwork, accounting and numeracy, giving presentations, business planning, developing a brand, and website design. 3. Be your own boss it’s your business, so whatever you say, goes! Some people don’t like working for others because they don’t agree with their bosses’ decisions or just don’t like the feeling of being told what to do all day. It’s true that most entrepreneurs will tell you that they could never go back to working for someone else! 4. See the direct results of your labour Being in charge means you can get things done your way. This means doing what you want with your business on a daily basis, and knowing that your actions have achieved any success you make. 5. Interest and enjoyment if you’re bored of sitting behind a desk at work, dealing with snippy customers or avoiding your constantly complaining boss, doing something you love every day seems like an attractive exit option. If you have a well-constructed business plan and think there is a gap in the market you can plug with something you enjoy doing, then it’s worth taking the leap. 6. Efficiency Running your own business means you get to lay down the deadlines. You’re on your own, so it’s up to you to be self-disciplined enough to get things done on time in order for your venture to make good progress. 7. Innovate and create Your idea is your business, so it’s entirely up to you what your business is about. Its success will also depend on how you develop your concept, allowing you to express yourself and find ways of making it attractive enough to generate profit. 8. Variety Being an entrepreneur means you have to wear many different hats. These include: accountant, marketer, manager, writer, pitcher, designer and researcher. Experiencing this sort of variation in your job every day can be very fulfilling as long as you’re prepared to learn all the skills and knowledge required to perform these roles. 9. No more commuting if your journey to work each day takes 45 minutes or more, that’s an hour and a half each day that you could be spending doing something you enjoy! Although you may have to move your business to a small office once it has grown sufficiently, starting out by working at home is a great way to save money on costs. If you’re someone who has to endure a long commute to work and back each day, this may seem like a good enough reason in itself to become self-employed. 10. Money Don’t make the mistake of thinking only big companies can make big bucks. There are many entrepreneurs who have made millions on their own through hard work and lots of determination. 11. Second career If you still enjoy your day job but want to set up a business, or just want the security of a regular income until your venture becomes established, you can always juggle the two. Set yourself strict hours in your spare time when you will work on your business – it may seem tricky at first, but works once you get yourself into the habit. After all, your health is more important than anything and you don’t want to burn yourself out! 12. Make your dreams come true Despite what the papers say, the government isn’t completely useless at supporting the country’s budding entrepreneurs. They’ve made it easier in recent years to set up a company and secure funding by cutting red tape and other bureaucracy. Organisations such as the Prince’s Trust and AngelsDen also offer funds for business start ups. With the right attitude, your business venture can go a long way and make substantial profits.

Last week The Nation ran a piece by Noam Chomsky that was critical of the BDS movement as unrealistic in seeking support for the right of return of refugees, thereby defying “international consensus” for a two-state solution. Chomsky also said that the South Africa apartheid struggle was not applicable to the Israel-Palestine conflict because the U.S. will support Israel no matter what it does to Palestinians. This week it has run five pieces in response, all at the link.
The first, by Yousef Munayyer, says that supporting BDS is the one thing that folks can actually do if they wish to change Palestinian conditions. He insists on the South African apartheid model and BDS’s ability to transform the international discourse by mobilizing civil society; and states that Chomsky is turning a blind eye to the role of Zionism when he dismisses BDS’s goals of promoting the right of return and ending Palestinian discrimination inside Israel.
Jewish majoritarian control… is apartheid, and rather than challenging it head on, Chomsky advises Palestinians, and those concerned for them, to accept the prevailing power structure and fight for only a fraction of their rights. Such fractioning of a people’s humanity in the name of pragmatism is the stuff of eighteenth-century America and the “three-fifths compromise”; it is unbecoming to the twenty-first century.
The second is by MJ Rosenberg and begins, “Professor Chomsky is right.” Rosenberg characterizes BDS as a fringe movement aimed at dismantling Israel, and says only the U.S. government can apply the pressure to end the occupation and bring about the two-state solution. Rosenberg says “political action” is needed to generate that U.S. pressure, but he doesn’t mean the grassroots: he dismisses actions by food coops and student groups as “playing games.”
The third is by Nadia Ben Youssef, emphasizing discrimination against Palestinians inside Israel.
Just as in the OPT, the Israeli regime within the Green Line is predicated on inequality and permeated with racism.
The fourth is by Ran Greenstein, challenging BDS and Chomsky. He states that Chomsky ignored a legal definition of apartheid that embraces both the South African and Israeli regimes but he counters BDS in asserting that “external solidarity” has been more important to the movement than what Greenstein valorizes, a local struggle based in Israel/Palestine. “The unifying thrust in our case could be provided by the notion of basic human rights for all, wherever they reside, thus bypassing the futile debate between one-state and two-state solutions.”
The fifth piece is from the Organizing Collective of the US Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel. It says Chomsky was wrong to describe BDS as a call issued by “Palestinian intellectuals.” It was also issued
by a collective of some 170 civil society groups, including labor unions, teachers unions, healthcare providers and many others.
The US Campaign praises BDS’s effectiveness and warns that there is no alternative: | positive |

Seattle is spending $651,000 on traffic-network-control software that adapts to major incidents and would enable better signal-timing citywide.
The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) and technology firm Siemens say they’ve reached a deal for traffic-light software that will help the city react to freeway backups, a viaduct crash, or crowds leaving a baseball game.
The new system, called Concert, should be running by July, said Annie Satow, a Siemens spokeswoman. It will be installed at the city’s traffic-control center on the 37th floor of the Seattle Municipal Tower.
This isn’t the much-touted “adaptive-signal timing” that changes each intersection’s green-light patterns minute-by-minute, when vehicles arrive. But Concert will allow adaptive signals down the line, said Mark Bandy, SDOT traffic operations director.
For the first time, the city will be able to import external data, such as highway vehicle volumes from the Washington State Department of Transportation, and Concert will react by giving longer green lights to city streets near highway exits.
On baseball nights, signals in Sodo could flip to postgame mode sometime before the ninth inning. Seattle Center streets would be coordinated for music fans who leave McCaw Hall. Or at 9 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, downtown signals would show more green where the Interstate 5 Union Street ramp spills into the city grid, relieving backups at the freeway, to name three examples Bandy gave.
Adaptive signals are coming to Mercer Street and its South Lake Union tributaries first, probably in the third or fourth quarter this year, he said. Street-level video and electronics must be installed first.
The city is paying $651,000 for Siemens software.
Signal-timing improvements were a core promise in last year’s voter-approved Move Seattle property-tax levy, which earmarks $13 million, in addition to the $1 million Mercer project, to upgrade at least five corridors per year for the next nine years. Several downtown streets lack even a magnetic, car-detecting loop in the pavement, so their stoplights run strictly on a clock.
Adaptive-signal systems already control 197 intersections in Bellevue, using signal software by TransCore, a competitor that also develops electronic toll systems.
Bandy said the Siemens system will give on-duty traffic engineers more time to issue electronic driver alerts, or to juggle multiple incidents and events.
Siemens said Seattle would join its Center of Excellence Partnership, making the city a laboratory to try technologies.
“Surrounded by water and mountains, Seattle’s narrow north-to-south geography creates unique and challenging traffic situations,” said a statement by Marcus Welz, president of Siemens Intelligent Traffic Systems. | positive |

Thousands reportedly witnessed the spectacle of a ghostly alien city floating in the clouds over the city of Foshan in the Guangdong province of China last week. Footage recorded by residents of the city shows the mysterious phenomenon as witnessed by thousands of shocked residents of Foshan on October 7, 2015.
Parts of the city came almost to a standstill as people stood in the streets, looking up at the mysterious “floating city” in the sky, which appeared to have many skyscrapers. The apparition lasted only a few minutes before it disappeared, UFO Sightings Hotspot reports.
Mysterious Universe reports that a few days after the Foshan incident, people in parts of the province of Jiangxi, China, also reported sighting a ghostly alien city in the sky.
This is not the first time that a giant city has been spotted hovering in the sky over a Chinese city. A colossal structure resembling a city with skyscrapers was seen hovering in the sky over Huangshan City in the southern Anhui province in 2011.
The Huangshan City sighting was remarkable because several stunned residents snapped pictures of the floating city showing what were clearly tall buildings or skyscrapers with trees.
The Inquisitr also reported in April an incident in March, 2011, in which hundreds of residents of the village of Dulali in Lanzai South Ward of Darazo Local Government area in Bauchi State, northern Nigeria, reported seeing a great floating city in the skies above their rural communities.
Conspiracy theorists believe that the recent spate of sightings could not be coincidence, and floating cities could be apparitions resulting from tests of the latest Project Blue Beam technology to see how residents of cities would react.
Project Blue Beam is a popular conspiracy theory that claims that NASA will soon attempt to inaugurate the Illuminati-sponsored Satanic New World Order (NWO) agenda under the authority of the Antichrist by using holographic image projection technology to simulate the second coming of Christ, or a space alien invasion of Earth.
The theory was originated by Serge Monast, a Quebecois conspiracy theorist, who predicted in the 1980s that NASA would implement the project by 2000, although he had predicted initially that the project would be implemented in 1983 and later shifted the date to 1996.
“Saw the original on Chinese chat sites. Notice the group of buildings is repeated three times? If it isn’t someone making it on their computer, it seriously could be project blue beam. Also you see s******d of HAARP images they’ve been producing in American clouds the last five years. This could be stage two of America trying to f**k with them. Stage one was the rod of god destroying the port.”
With recent developments in the use of holographic devices to project life-like movie images onto clouds, believers say that the implementation of Project Blue Beam is imminent.
'Floating City' Appears Over City Of Foshan In China
A research team, called Project Nimbus, recently demonstrated a holographic device reportedly based on the principle of the zoopraxiscope that was able to project the image of a green horseman galloping across the skies.
However, not everyone believes that the ghostly city which appeared in the sky over Foshan was a Project Blue Beam test run. Some believe it was a naturally generated optical illusion. One example is the phenomenon called Fata Morgana.
A Fata Morgana is a form of mirage that can be seen on land or at sea. It involves the optical distortion and inversion of distant objects, such as boats, islands, and the coastline. The mirage often appears as a city of skyscrapers because successive images are stacked.
Fata Morgana mirages are caused by rays of light undergoing bending when they pass through layers of air with different temperatures.

Voxelus, a virtual reality content creation platform, plans to launch a new marketplace for VR assets, animations, immersive worlds and games in the first quarter of 2016, and will accept only ‘voxels’ — cryptographically secure in-game tokens as payment for purchases, the company announced today.
Since its debut three weeks ago at Oculus Connect, Voxelus has seen more than 20,000 downloads of its Creator software. That’s huge, considering a consumer version of the Oculus Rift headset is not yet for sale and the $299 Samsung Gear VR innovation edition is one of only a few headsets currently available. Nonetheless, things look promising, especially with the upcoming $99 Samsung Gear VR headset on the horizon.
The Voxelus platform allows anyone — regardless of skill level — to create VR games, experiences and virtual spaces without writing code. It consists of Voxelus Creator, a 3D design app for PC and Mac; VoxelusViewer, which works on desktop PCs, Oculus Rift and Samsung VR devices; and Voxelus Marketplace, which allows creators to sell and users to buy VR content and games for the Voxelus ecosystem, using the voxel in-game cryptocurrency. Voxelus will offer a revenue share with creators.
Given the high cost of production and paucity of available content, Voxelus co-founder and CEO Martin Repetto predicts that the platform will become the repository for most VR content and games. The company believes VR needs plenty of consumer generated input and content, in a YouTube-type model, to help popularize the platform.
Voxels were first made available in a private pre-sale to strategic partners and cryptocurrency investors today, with a 100,000 voxel minimum. A public crowdsale begins Monday, November 2, at sale.voxelus.com, handled by Voxelus strategic partner and investor ShapeShift, run by bitcoin entrepreneur Erik Voorhees.
The initial crowdsale provides funds to ensure the Creator and Viewer will always be free, and provides that the payouts to content creators can be sent anywhere in the world instantly without bank fees.
CNET founder Halsey Minor, chairman and co-founder of Voxelus and chairman and founder of Uphold — a cloud-based money platform — announced that Uphold will support the voxel as one of only two cryptocurrencies pegged to its basket of fiat currencies and traditional assets like gold. After the crowdsale, the voxel will join 24 other currencies and Bitcoin that members can move, convert, hold and spend.
“Voxelus is using voxels to make the content accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world, including the 2.5 billion people with no access to a bank account,” Michael Terpin, an advisor the Voxelus, told TNW. “Uphold will help make this universally accessible. It will also trade on exchanges globally and by early next year, it can be purchased on Uphold using traditional credit/debit cards.”
The voxel will be the only cryptocurrency other than bitcoin supported by Uphold. On October 14, Uphold announced the ability to fund accounts via credit card, bank transfer and bitcoin, which will give the voxel equal functionality to bitcoin on its platform and accessible to people around the world.
Said Halsey Minor in a statement:
Early in my career, I was influenced by the visions of writers such as Neal Stephenson in books like Snow Crash that envisioned worlds with both virtual money and virtual reality. Making science fiction science fact is the kind of thing every entrepreneur lives for. By giving the voxel functionality equal to bitcoin while serving the ecosystem of the leading virtual reality gaming platform represents a remarkable technical achievement and reflects the maturity of both the Voxelus and Uphold platforms.
