The Dallas Cowboys quickly put an end to any talk about them faltering down the stretch, bouncing back from just their second loss of the season to grab the 26-20 victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The loss ended Tampa's five-game winning streak.
Prescott, in particular, had one of his best games of the year amidst some calls for him being benched in favor of Tony Romo, completing 32/36 passes for 279 yards while rushing for 22 yards and a touchdown. His team followed suit, and after a slow start, found a way to win the game in the fourth quarter.
After trading field goals, the Cowboys found the end zone first when Ezekiel Elliott rushed up the middle - and celebrated by jumping in the giant Salvation Army pot:
Dallas followed that up with a two-yard touchdown run from Prescott to build a 17-3 lead, and it looked like they were going to run away with this one. However, that was not the case.
Tampa Bay scored 17 straight points in the next 13 minutes, capped by this incredible touchdown catch from tight end Cameron Brate.
That gave the Bucs a 20-17 lead going into the fourth quarter, but then it was the Cowboys' turn to regain momentum again. Their defense stepped up and kept Tampa Bay from really threatening in the final frame, and Dan Bailey added three of his four field goals in the fourth to give Dallas the victory.
Elliott led the way for the Cowboys along with Prescott, rushing for 159 yards and that touchdown on 23 carries while catching three passes for another 29 yards. Dallas can clinch the NFC East and the top seed in the NFC with a win next Monday against the Detroit Lions.
Tampa Bay led by Jameis Winston, who threw for 247 yards and two touchdowns - but also threw three interceptions and lost a fumble. The loss drops the Bucs to 8-6 on the year and into a heated race with the Redskins and Packers for the final wild card spot.Back to the Dallas Cowboys Newsfeed

INVENTOR ROSS R. WILLIAMS BY ATTORNEYS United States Patent O s Claims. (ci. zee- 45) The invention relates to an improved package which serves upon opening to provide the user with a disposable applicator and a liquid cleansing agent ready for use.
This patent is a division of my Patent No. 3,057,467 granted October 9, 1962, on my copending application Serial No. 853,830 tiled November 18, 1959, as a continuation of my prior application Serial No. 411,815 filed February 23, 1954, now abandoned.
It is an object of the present invention to provide an improved package for treating agents in liquid form which will contain and protect one or more treating agents in single usage quantities conveniently carried by a disposable applicator compactly folded and/or rolled within the package. The package can be conveniently opened and the disposable applicator can be readily unrolled and/ or unfolded to be used in administering the agent or treatment.
A further object is the provision of an improved package for treating agents of the above indicated type which is simple and inexpensive, which is compact and convenient to ship, store and handle, which can be readily opened when desired but which, while closed, will eifectively protect the contents from contamination and also from loss by evaporation, sublimation or leakage.
Another object is the provision of an improved disposable applicator for treating agents and packages of the above type which is inexpensive so that it can be discarded after use, which is absorbent or porous so as to hold desired quantities of the treating agents, which will not be weakened or adversely affected by the treating agents, which will not contaminate or adversely affect the treating agents, which can be readily folded and/ or rolled, thereafter readily unrolled and/ or unfolded, without tearing or mutilation, when impregnated with a treating agent consisting largely of a volatile liquid, such as an alcoholwater mixture, which has a suitable hand and texture for scrubbing and cleansing purposes, and which is flexible and soft so that it can be used as an applicator without injuring the skin or other surface to which the treating agent is applied. The absorbent and disposable applicator holding the volatile liquid in its initial Wet condition just after being removed from the package serves to wet the face and hands so as to remove dirt therefrom, and gradually dries out so that in a moment, the same applicator may serve as a drying member removing surplus liquid from the hands and face.
An important aspect of my invention pertains to the provision of an improved kit or package which may be conveniently used for cleansing and refreshing as, for example, while traveling by plane, train, bus, car, or boat. Frequently, Washing facilities are not, or adequate water for such facilities is not, available while traveling and this results in inconvenience and discomfort to the travelers. Accordingly, it is a further and particular object of the invention to provide an improved cleansing and refreshing kit or package having all of the features and advantages of my invention as set forth above and which is compact and light in weight and readily disposable after use so that an adequate supply can be carried on the person or in the pocketbook in the case of a woman, or in the luggage of the traveler or in the plane, boat or Vehicle. v

My invention contemplates the provision of an improved disposable applicator 10 of flexible, absorbent sheet material impregnated with or carrying a liquid treating agent and which is compacted as by being folded and encased in a relatively flat, compact envelope 11 which can be readily opened but which effectively protects the contents from contamination or from loss through leakage, evaporation yor sublimation.
The envelope 11 is substantially impervious to the liquid contents as well as to contaminants and is preferably gas and vapor-proof. The illustrated embodiment is made of two rectangular panels 12 of the same size which are substantially impervious to the materials mentioned above and they are sealed along their edges to provide a completely sealed envelope or package. The material from which the panels are made may be varied depending upon the use and contents of the package but the material should be one which is not adversely affected by the package contents and which, in turn, will not contaminate or react with or adversely affect the content. Also, the package should form a durable seal and should be of sufiicient strength to withstand the vapor pressures of the treating agents contained in the package at temperatures ranging between .-65" F. and 160 F. and otherwise maintain durable seals within this temperature range. At the same time the panels should be of such a character that they can be readily torn by hand to permit easy opening of the package.
Where my improved package is in the form of a cleansing and refreshing kit, I have found that satisfactory results are provided by making the panels l2 from a metal foil such as aluminum foil and lining the inner surface with a thermoplastic film such as polyethylene, polyvinyl resin or cellulose acetate which provides a protective coating and an impervious vapor-proof barrier and also permits the panels to be readily heat sealed along their edges as shown. The panels 12 may be made from other nonplastic materials such as cellulosic material lined with a thermoplastic film or various synthetic or plastic materials.
In assembling the package the -two panels may first have one or more of their edges sealed together. Thereafter, the folded applicator may be inserted into the partially formed envelope either before or after being impregnated by the treating agent. Where the applicator is insented into the partially formed envelope before it is irnpregnated, the Iltreating agent may be injected into the package or Iinto the folded applicator after the applicator is inserted in the envelope and the unsealed portion of the envelope is then sealed as by heat sealing or electronically sealing so as to completely close the envelope.
Suitable labelling instructions or other printed material may be displayed on the outer surface of the panels. If preferred, a layer of paper may be laminated over the outer surface of each of the panels and the printed material may then be displayed thereon.
The applicator 10 is in the form of a flexible sheet of -absorbing material of convenient size to serve as a washing land drying implement, for ins-tance, the size of a conventional wfashcloth. `It may be made of any suitable `absorbent material which will not be adversely affected by the treating .agent and which in turn will not contaminate or adversely affect the treating lagen-t such as cellulosic material or paper. A preferred form of :applicator is made of an absorbent sheet which resists disintegration when saturated with the treating agent, :for example, a `wet strength paper for aqueous mixtures. Also, to increase the cleansing action and to improve the hand" and to impart a degree of resiliency thereto, I prefer to texture the paper, as by creping it or embossing it. 1I have found, however, that where creping is employed, the creping should be limited or controlled so yas to prevent excessive stretch as this results in undue bulkiness and also creates problems and difficulties in connection with the folding and unfolding of the applicator. A crepe providing between 1% and 25% stretch is satisfactory.
However, I prefer to limit the stretch -to approximately 10%.
In my improved cleansing and refreshing kit I prefer to use a wet strength type of paper in order to prevent the liquid treating agent from causing the sheet to disintegrate or to tear too easily. The wet strength paper may be made by incorporating in the paper, while i-t is being made, a wet strength agent such as melamine resin and a satisfactory proportion is between approximately 11/% and 4% to the beater or chest box of the paper making machine in -the preparation of the fibre sheet.
The applicator is suitably compacted as by being pl-aited, or folded and/or rolled prior to packaging. In the illustrated embodiments of FIGS. 1 to 5 the applicator is folded. The type of folding may be varied but it preferably should be such that the folded applicator can be readily unfolded when desired and so that the finished package is of a size that can readily fit in a pocket, pocketbook or the like.
In the form of applicator shown in FIGURE 3 the sheet is shown as of rectangular shape and it is folded along transverse and longitudinal lines providing 16 panels. One convenient method of folding is to first fold along the transverse centerline 16 then along the two equally spaced parallel transverse lines 17. Thereafter,
the transversely -folded applicator may be folded along the longitudinal centerline 14 and then along the parallel equal spaced longitudinal fold lines 15. The resultant folded applicator is in compact multi-ply, substantially rectangular pad structure of the length and width of one of the panels defined by the fold lines and of the thickness of the 16 superimposed plies or panels. The area of the pad structure thus is a small fraction, in this case one-sixteenth, of the area of the unfolded sheet.
The envelope 11 should lbe large enough to accommodate the folded applicator but is preferably only slightly larger than the folded applicator in order to save material and space.
To facilitate the unfolding of .the applicator when the package is opened and it is desired to apply the treating agent, the applicator may be designed and folded so as to have projecting edge or cor-ner portions on one or more of the superimposed panels or layers. This may be accomplished either by folding the sheet to provide projecting corners or edges or by designing the sheet in such a fashion that when folded it automatically provides projecting edges or corners. Thus, in FIGURE 4 il have shown a rectangular applicator '10 similar -to that shown in FIGURE 3 but in folding the applicator it has been folded off center. Thus, the longitudinal and transverse axes or lcenterlines are shown in dotted lines and identified by the numerals 20 and 21. The intermediate longitudinal and transverse fold lines 14 and 16 are each offset slightly Ito one side of 4the centerline axis. The result is that when the applicator is folded rst along the transverse fold line 16', then along the spaced transverse lines 17, then along the longitudinal 'fold line 14' and finally along the spaced longitudinal fold lines 15 in the manner previously described the edges of `the panel on the top and right-hand end of the applicator, as viewed in FIGURE. 4, will project slightly beyond the other panels whereby the projecting edges may be readily grasped between the fingers to unfold the applicator.
In FIGURE 5 .the lapplicator 1b' .is shown as being in the form of a non-rectangular parallelogram. The applicator shown in FIGURE 5 is folded along the transverse :fold lines 16" and 17" and then folded on the longitudinal fold lines 14" and 15" into a substantially rectangular, multi-ply pad structure. One or both of the two vacute `angular corners of the parallelogram on the upper right and lower left portions of FIGURE 5 will project beyond the remaining panels when this form of the applicator is thus folded. It will be appreciated that .the projecting corners Amay similarly be grasped between the fingers to facilitate unfolding .of the applicator.
As previously indicated, the applicator may be impregnated with the treating agents either shortly before or after it is inserted in the envelope. One convenient procedure -to follow is to first partially complete the envelope, then insert the folded applicator into the envelope and inject the treating agent, or the mixture of treating agents between the folds of the applicator in the envelope. By injecting the liquid treating agent between the layers or folds of :the applicator, it will be readily absorbed by the superimposed layers. When the applicator has been thus impregnated the sealing of the envelope is completed and the contents will be effectively protected from contamination or loss through leakage and evaporation.
The shape and form of the envelope and package may be varied. Thus, in FIGURES 7 and 8 I have shown a modified form of package in substantially cylindrical shape. As in the first form of my invention, the envelope 30 may be made of any suitable material substantially impermeable to the treating agent and to its vapor. Thus, the envelope may be made of a metallic foil which, as in the first form of my invention, may have a thermoplastic coating such as polyethylene applied to the inner surface thereof. The coating facilitates sealing the package and increases its impermeability to the treating agent and its vapors. The sheet material forming the envelope is wrapped or rolled around the compacted applicator 33 in substantially cylindrical form with the longitudinal edges 31 in overlapping relationship. The 4overlapping longitudinal edges are suitably sealed as by heat sealing with the thermoplastic coating. The two ends 32 of the envelope preferably project beyond the two ends of the compacted applicator, as shown, and are suitably sealed by pinching and heat sealing with the thermoplastic coatmg.
The applicator may be compacted in any suitable fashion as, for instance, in the manner shown in FIGURES 9 and l0.` Thus, the applicator may be first folded upon itself on the indicated fold lines 34 shown in FIGURE 9 and when thus folded may be tightly rolled as indicated in FIGURE 10. As in the two embodiments already described, the folded and rolled applicator, as viewed from the side, is a compact, substantially rectangular, multi-ply pad structure having an area which is a small fraction of the area of the unrolled and unfolded sheet. The applicator in the modified form of package may be impregnated in the same manner as the applicator in my first form of package with any of the indicated treating agents.
As shown in FIGURE 6 the applicator may be laminated from two layers of material such as the layer 26 of absorbent material and the layer 27 of relatively nonabsorbent and relatively impervious material.
My improved package and applicator are suitable for use with many different types of treating agents. Thus, as previously pointed out, it may be used for both the packaging and also the applying and administering of various mixtures of cleansing agents such as liquid soap and wetting agents, detergents, emulsifying agents and solvents; humectants such as glycerine, propylene glycol and similar hygroscopic materials and volatile evaporating liquids such as Water and alcohol.
My invention is particularly suitable for use with various treatments requiring a multiplicity of treating agents to accomplish a desired result. Thus, in the case of my improved cleansing and refreshing kit I impregnate the applicator with a mixture of various treating agents which will cleanse, refresh and stimulate the skin, accelerate drying without the use of a separate towel, or drier, and will also impart pleasant aroma or fragrance. For this purpose, I may employ a mixture of a detergent, cleansing agent such as sodium lauryl sulfate, a humectant such as propylene glycol, an astringent such as aluminum sulfate, an olfactory stimulant such as oil of bay, a drying or evaporating agent such as ethyl alcohol and a carrier or diluent such as water. A specific example of a preferred mixture of treating agents for use in my improved cleansing and refreshing kit is as follows:
Percent Sodium lauryl sulfate 0.25 Propylene glycol 2.00 Aluminum sulfate 1.00 Oil of bay 0.25 Ethyl alcohol 25.00 Water, q.s. to 100.00
In addition, it will be appreciated that various other minor agents such as skin stimulants, astringents, deodorants or the like may be mixed with the other treating agents in my cleansing and refresher kit. A cleansing and refreshing kit embodying my invention is compact and light in weight so that it can be readily stored or carried. While sealed the contents are effectively protected from contamination and from loss by leakage or evaporation. The package can be conveniently opened by tearing or severing the envelope and removing the applicator. The applicator is impregnated with a mixture of treating agents as disclosed above and when it is opened it can be used to cleanse and refresh the skin by the user. The impregnating liquid consists largely of volatile components, at least as volatile as water, and such as alcohol diluted with water so that it initially serves to facilitate cleansing, dries rapidly, and as it is evaporated, as by the warmth of the body, it soon allows the applicator to serve as a drying member, in place of a towel. The drying agents serve to dry the skin without the necessity of a separate towel, leaving the user with a clean and refreshed feeling. Due to the small size of the envelope and the applicator they can be readily disposed of after use.
My invention provides an improved cleansing and refreshing kit or package which is compact and light in weight and readily disposable after use so that an adequate supply can be carried on the person or in the luggage of a traveler.

DONUT FALL IN LOVE by Jackie Lau
Publication Date: November 9, 2021 by Berkley
A baker provides the sweetest escape for an actor in this charming romantic comedy.
Actor Ryan Kwok is back in Toronto after the promotional tour for his latest film, a rom-com that is getting less-than-stellar reviews. After the sudden death of his mother and years of constant work, Ryan is taking some much-needed time off. But as he tries to be supportive to his family, he struggles with his loss and doesn’t know how to talk to his dad—who now trolls him on Twitter instead of meeting him for dim sum.
Innovative baker Lindsay McLeod meets Ryan when he knocks over two dozen specialty donuts at her bakery. Their relationship is off to a messy start, but there’s no denying their immediate attraction. When Ryan signs up for a celebrity episode of Baking Fail, he asks Lindsay to teach him how to bake and she agrees.
As Lindsay and Ryan spend time together, bonding over grief and bubble tea, it starts to feel like they’re cooking up something sweeter than cupcakes in the kitchen.

Breaking News Emails
Aleppo has almost entirely fallen to Syrian government forces, state media and Russian officials said Monday after a sustained attack on rebel-held areas packed with civilians.
Syria's military said pro-government forces now control of 98 percent of eastern Aleppo, including the neighborhood of Fardous which has been held by the rebels since 2012.
Lieutenant General Zaid al-Saleh said the battle for the city was entering its final stages.
"The battle in east Aleppo should end quickly," he told a group of reporters in the recaptured Sheikh Saeed district, according to Reuters. "They [rebels] don't have much time. They either have to surrender or die."
Government forces already control the west of Aleppo and recapturing the city —Syria's biggest, before the war — would be the greatest prize so far for President Bashar al-Assad in the six years of conflict.
However, swaths of the country remain in rebel hands and ISIS on Sunday seized the historic city of Palmyra.
A statement Monday from Russia’s military wing in Syria gave a similar account, saying: “Over the past 24 hours, the Syrian government army has liberated three more districts of eastern Aleppo: Sheikh Saeed, Karim Khum and Al-Maqamat.”
It said Syrian authorities were in “full control” of most of the city, adding: “The territory still controlled by the militants in eastern part of the city is no more than [4 square miles].”
It added that more than 5,100 residents have returned to their homes in western districts.
Rebel forces and tens of thousands of civilians are no squeezed into a handful of central neighborhoods.
Syrian state television broadcast pictures of civilians fleeing areas where troops were advancing, pouring into western Aleppo. Those areas are only accessible through government-monitored crossing points.
The Russia-backed offensive, which began on Nov. 26, followed an intensive aerial bombing campaign that knocked out most of the eastern sector's medical facilities, targeted civil defense and municipal vehicles and blocked roads with rubble. The eastern Aleppo area has also been cut off from outside aid since July by a government siege.
Separately, Syria’s humanitarian White Helmets said Sunday they rescued an eight-month-old baby girl called Fatima from rubble in Saraqeb, near the city of Idlib. No further information was immediately available.

Why can't people hear me speak through phone
I can hear clearly through my phone but the only way people can hear me is if I put it on speaker and talk loudly
Это хороший вопрос?
Try using your earphones with the microphone attachment. If that works and people can hear you, without you having to talk loudly, it proves that the voice sending circuitry of the phone is OK and that the problem is with the internal microphone.

PLATEAU PDP SEC ASPIRANTS
No22/22 Yakubu Gowan way Jos.
28TH, JANUARY 2021
PLATEAU STATE CHAPTER OF PDP REMAIN VACANT AS EITHER (8)LAWYERS VOLUNTEERED TO JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST IMPUNITY AND INJUSTICE
Increasingly, our efforts to confront impunity and imposition in Plateau State Chapter of PDP is gaining momentum. Yesterday Wednesday 27th January 2021, another State High Court delivered judgment invalidating PDP Congresses in 6 federal wards and Jos South LGA as well as Bwal Ward in Qua’an Pan LGA. Gradually, the resistance of a few is being effectively checkmated at various levels through our legal artinary, they go about desperately seeking to be recognized as “State EXCO” in defiance to valid court judgments.
The ilegality perpetrated in many PDP Wards/LGA “if conducted” during the 2020 Nationwide congresses and the charade gathering of 29th August 2020 have consistently failed the examination of courts. Many of the congresses have not been found to be consistent and in compliance with Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended) and the Electoral Act (2010) (as amended), the Constitution of the Peoples Democratic Party and the Guidelines for the Conduct of Ward, LGA, State, Zonal Congresses and the National Convention of the Peoples Democratic Party issued in January 2020.
Rather than quietly withdraw having been invalidated, express remorse, seek forgiveness for misleading several unsuspecting party faithful thereby causing the party it fortunes at polls, these desperate forces have continued to act more according to their sit tight syndrome,whim and caprices. In contempt of the Constitution of the Peoples Democratic Party and Court Judgments/Orders, they wrote a laughable correspondence purportedly suspending an individual who is part of Plateau PDP Sec Aspirants.
In response to a call by a Courier Service Provider, our team of lawyers proceeded to their office No 41 Yakubu Gowon Way Jos and took possession of the said “Letter Of Suspension” authored by one Hon Emma Tuang of Dokan Kasuwa, Qua’an Pan LGA.
Armed with evidence, our lawyers are prepared to filed contempt charges, in the meantime the state Secretary (Aspirant) Hon Iliya Zakari has since responded. The letter, which was send back to the same Courier Service Providers,that has scared Hon Emma Tuang who fears for contempt of court chargies hanging on his neck, he lied that he has travelled out of the country and has been running helter-skelter trying to evade service.
We remain undaunted by the antics of a few who believe they can reduce PDP into a personal estate, the era of unchallenged impunity in Plateau PDP is over. Even if for the sake of posterity alone, we will not relent and we are pleased to inform teeming PDP faithful across Plateau that (8) legal luminaries have voluntarily joined forces with our team of lawyers to ensure that our Counter Impunity/Imposition drive succeeds.
With this development,of legal team is injected with more hands to handle this situation to it’s logical conclusion.
We congratulate and send our good tidings to our gallant fighters of impunity and injustice in Plateau PDP for securing judgment yesterday in the litigations of Jos South and Qua’an Pan LGAs.
Thugs and rascals don’t go court of law.
Be prayerful as always in our quest to installed discipline, justice and fair play in our party.
Slowly and gradually we shall all jubilate.
Emma Macham JP
State Publicity Secretary (Aspirant)

GQ’s Stadium Barber Shop Offers Brooklyn Sports Fans A Quick Trim
Men's magazine partners with a trendy shaving outlet to offer haircuts at sports games.
GQ has already set up bars in exotic locations like Istanbul, Moscow and Dubai, so why not incorporate a barbershop into a sports venue? With the help of fashionable shaving outlet Fellow Barber, the men’s fashion brand will open their first GQ Barbershop at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Friday.
Services on offer will range from a simple $10 “cleanup,” all the way through to a shave and haircut package for $75. While these prices might not make sense to the average sports fan, it’s important to remember that the Barclays Center has worked hard to create a new kind of sports venue. Home to The Vault, touted as “the most elite club in the country,” as well as trendy eateries like Fatty ‘Cue, it’s more than likely there is a market for a GQ-branded barbershop.
Fellow Barber founder, Sam Buffa commented on the GQ site, “we are really excited to join forces with exceptional partners like GQ and Barclays Center.” While GQ Vice President and Publisher Chris Mitchell added: “It is the ideal intersection of style and entertainment.”

Posted on 10/26/2019 10:13:37 AM PDT by libh8er
Amazon Web Services is "still evaluating options" after the Department of Defense selected Microsoft for a $10 billion contract to move the agency's database to the cloud, according to a source close to the situation.
"We're surprised about this conclusion," an AWS spokesperson said in a statement. "AWS is the clear leader in cloud computing, and a detailed assessment purely on the comparative offerings clearly lead to a different conclusion. We remain deeply committed to continuing to innovate for the new digital battlefield where security, efficiency, resiliency, and scalability of resources can be the difference between success and failure."
This contract known as the Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI, contract is a 10-year contract to move the Department of Defense's database to the cloud.
It's a big loss for AWS, which drives the majority of the profit for the entire Amazon empire and a surprise, given that AWS was the favorite to win by most industry-watchers.
It was not immediately clear what Amazon's options might be after losing the contract. The bidding process for JEDI began more than one year ago, contenders like Oracle and IBM were eliminated from the process in April. Oracle previously launched an ultimately-failed lawsuit alleging that the JEDI contract selection process was "riddled with improprieties."
(Excerpt) Read more at businessinsider.com ...
Amazon would have moved Department of Defense’s database to China or Russia not the Cloud
Global warming is just going to kill the cloud anyway.
I am not in love with Amazon.
But I too am puzzled by the choice, on (1) technical and (2) experience grounds. Frankly I would have put IBM or Amazon above Microsoft on both of those grounds.
Is this an “anti” Amazon decision, on political grounds???
(Jeff Bezos is Amazon AND The Washington Post).
You’d think Disney/Lucasfilm would do the lawsuit.
Yep, owning a newspaper that bashes Trump day in day out did not bode well for Jeff.
Amount paid by Jeff Bezos for The Bezos Compost — $250m
Amount lost by Jeff Bezos for not getting the DoD contract —$10b
Expression on Bezos’s face after learning of above — priceless
Good. Screw Bezos.
Amazon expanded a huge operation in D.C. to stay close to the power and influence of the government. This is a big loss for AWS.
It would be foolish to allow Amazon to set-up the government cloud database.
The only “cloud” that DoD data should be in is a private one completely separate from the public internet.
“Bezos is openly hostile to the Trump administration.”
Actually, I admire Bezos for setting up such a grand-scale successful business. Why would he think to become a player in the political world in such a truculent fashion? Reminds me of the Peter Principle. He must think his wealth shields him from everything.
Microsoft is definitely the second most widely used cloud service behind Amazon, and without Amazon’s amateur/semi-amateur user base.
I wouldn’t trust Google with garbage, let alone with data.
It was a wise move for DOD Amazon can’t be trusted they will sell anything to the highest bidder.
Actually the cloud (for data storage and retrieval) is a far more secure and redundant method to manage storage. I’m surprised this hasn’t been done already.

Nearly 53 percent of the companies also said that they are not able to hold the price line any further and would increase selling prices in the next six months.
According to a Business Confidence Survey (BCS) conducted by the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), The confidence level of Corporate India has slipped ahead of the Union Budget 2011-12, the industry is buffeted by the rising raw material and manpower costs and the threat of food inflation spilling over to the manufacturing sector as well.
The survey reveals a fall in the overall business confidence index from 76.2 in the previous survey to 63.8. Almost 90 percent of over 296 companies that participated in the survey said that rising cost of raw materials has affected their business performance. The firms also expect the build-up in food prices to spill over to the manufacturing sector.
Over 93 percent of the firms said that they are also facing demands for higher wages and this is complicating their cost structure further. The survey said that almost 25 percent of the firms expect their profit level to be lower in the next six months.
Nearly 53 percent of the companies also said that they are not able to hold the price line any further and would increase selling prices in the next six months. Also, 53 percent of the firms said that successive hikes introduced by the Reserve Bank of India in the key monetary variables have started impacting industry's performance as high lending rates by banks are having an impact on their operations.
The industry lobby also urged Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to continue stimulus measures and not raise excise duties in the upcoming budget to avoid a slowdown.
"There should be no further rollback of the stimulus measures. Excise rates in particular should not be raised," FICCI said.
FICCI also expects the government to provide some additional relief to individuals who are facing the brunt of inflation apart from modulating the taxation structure on oil products to limit increase in fuel prices. Further the report concluded by saying that India Inc sees industrial growth slowing down in the next six months.

In the blink of an eye, any film lover, or music enthusiast, can rattle off a handful of essential titles whose soundtracks have transcended the film, and have become a powerful entity in and of themselves. These names would include Mayfield, Hayes, and, Ayers. This leads me to Trouble Man.
I must say I've never seen Trouble Man, another example of the music being more accessible than the film, but I'm here to write about the music. Specifically to lament that Marvin Gaye's score for the film is not more often mentioned in the same breath as those mentioned above. This score is fantastic. Gaye provides a soulful, laid-back, but funkified listening experience that should be in all soundtrack lover's collections.

5 Qualities of an Successful Matrimony
One of the most significant qualities of a effective marriage is the ability to exhibit one’s thoughts openly.

By T. Scott Boatright
There’s not much better than hooping it up for the holidays, unless there’s also significant honor involved, too.
And that’s exactly what will happen beginning tonight as Ruston High School plays host to the third annual Remington Butler Basketball Tournament.
The tournament runs through Friday and Saturday.
Butler, who was a freshman member of the RHS boys basketball team at the time, died two days short of his 15th birthday along with his mother Kendra Butler on April 25, 2019, when an EF3 tornado ripped through parts of Ruston, sending a tree crashing through their home.
The first Remington Butler Tournament was held in December of 2019 and was a boy’s team only event.
Last year the tournament was cut to a single game because tournaments weren’t allowed because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
But this year’s tourney will be bigger than ever before with the addition of a girls bracket.
Tickets to the tournament are $8 per day which will allow fans to attend games being played simultaneously in the RHS Main and Auxiliary Gyms.
“It’s exciting,” said RHS coach Meredith Graf. “We’ve been fortunate enough to get some local teams involved. We’re just trying to make the tournament that much better. We’re ready to jump in and are hoping we have a lot of people in the stands to watch some good basketball and have a good time before the Christmas break.”
Teams playing on the boys side of the tournament will be Ruston, Neville, Arcadia, Jonesboro-Hodge, Parkway, Southwood and Franklin Parish.
In the girls’ competition the Lady Bearcats will be joined by Neville, Arcadia, Jonesboro-Hodge, Franklin Parish, Sterlington and Northwood.
A game between the RHS girls JV team and Northwood will also be included as part of tonight’s action.
“There’s some good match-ups and there should be some competitive games,” Graf said. “When you get local talent and teams, and see some different ones we might not otherwise play, that’s always a good thing for fans and the tournament itself.”
RHS boys coach Ryan Bond said he’s just happy to be able to return the event to a full tournament.
“Because the first one went pretty good, we would have added the girls games to last year’s tournament if it weren’t for the COVID restrictions,” Bond said. “Coach Graf has brought some really good girls teams, and we have a great field of boys teams, too. It’s just going to be good to bring some good teams in here and be able to watch some good basketball.”
“We got to play the game last year and got to recognize (Kendra Butler’s son Cam, who graduated from RHS in 2019) and remember Remington and his mother,” Bond said. “I didn’t get to coach him, but I hear Remington was a wonderful young man. I wish I would have had the opportunity to coach him. I hear he was a good basketball player and an even better kid, so we’re always going to remember Remington and his mother.”
The 2021 Remington Butler Basketball Tournament is as follows:
4 p.m. Jonesboro-Hodge vs. Parkway (Boys)
5:20 p.m. Arcadia vs. Franklin Parish (Boys)
6:40 p.m. Ruston vs. Jonesboro-Hodge (Girls)

We had our first harvest of microgreens on Monday March 11th, which was enjoyed as part of the Summit Academy salad bar during lunch. Students in the class are not only growing produce from seed to table, but are also getting the experience of running a small business. The class created a business plan which is in the early stages of implementation. The class plans to sell part of our produce to the district food services department to be served in school meals. We look forward to the many opportunities that our new growing system will offer to create meaningful and healthy learning opportunities.

Alex Murdaugh to Surrender for Staging His Own Killing
Alex Murdaugh, a prominent South Carolina lawyer who is at the center of multiple investigations after his wife and son were shot and killed at the family’s home in June, plans to turn himself in on Thursday on charges that he staged his own assassination, even as he continued to deny any involvement in the killing of his family.
One of Mr. Murdaugh’s lawyers, Jim Griffin, said Mr. Murdaugh faces charges including conspiracy to commit insurance fraud and lying to the police in connection with a Sept. 4 incident, in which Mr. Murdaugh admitted asking a client to shoot him so that his other son could collect on a $10 million insurance policy.
The stunning turn came on the same day that authorities in South Carolina announced they had opened an investigation into the 2018 death of a housekeeper at Mr. Murdaugh’s home.
The death of the housekeeper, Gloria Satterfield, 57, was attributed in court documents to a “trip and fall” accident, but Angela Topper, the coroner in Hampton County, S.C., said the death was never reported to her office and no autopsy was conducted.

Re: [Equipment] Canopy 2400 AP 2.4 Ghz 10 Mbps unable to Sync on
Bad Canopy unit. Receiving sync on the Ethernet port has always been problematic and will fail with very little ESD but the rest of the radio will work fine. You can either sync to the timing port or use the radio elsewhere where you don't need sync.
