NEW: Todd Roktia brought family to “government-funded trip” to the U.S. Southern border
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indiana Democratic Party, the organization that advocates for the future of Indiana and its families, called on Attorney General Todd Rokita to reimburse the state after he used taxpayer dollars for a family vacation to the U.S. Southern border. Rokita also used this taxpayer-funded trip to attend a political rally of former president Donald Trump. Todd Rokita’s vacation is another example of the Indiana Republican Party’s culture war agenda on immigration, an effort where politicians like U.S. Senator Todd Young criticized Border Patrol for keeping deadly drugs out of the hands of Americans.
The Indiana Democratic Party fully supports open records requests made by state media, and Democrats call on Rokita to disclose the full cost of this taxpayer-funded political trip.
“Hoosiers should not be held responsible for paying for Todd Rokita’s (political) family vacation. However desperate and self-serving this strategy may be, having taxpayers fund his political trip is an abuse of power and he should reimburse the state immediately,” said Lauren Ganapini, executive director of the Indiana Democratic Party. “Todd Rokita is pursuing a culture war-first agenda because he wants attention for his gubernatorial campaign. Rokita’s trip is yet another reminder to Hoosiers that the Indiana Republican Party will always put their selfish partisanship ahead of a better future for the state.”
Don’t forget: There was an opportunity nine years ago to pass comprehensive immigration reform. The U.S. Senate passed a bipartisan bill that would’ve increased security along the border, required a mandatory workplace verification system for employers, installed a visa program for low-skilled workers, and established a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants. Former U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly voted “YES” on this legislation. The U.S. House – with Todd Rokita representing Indiana’s Fourth District – refused to take up the bipartisan legislation.
Here’s a look at how Todd Rokita’s taxpayer-funded family vacation is playing across Indiana:
Fort Wayne Journal Gazette: “Attorney General Todd Rokita took a state-paid trip last week to the nation’s southern border and stopped at a Donald Trump rally along the way.
He also took his son, according to a post on his official Facebook page, stopping at the historical site of Bill Clinton’s boyhood home on the way back Monday.
Rokita’s office confirmed the trip was paid for by the official office and that he drove.”
Associated Press: Indiana attorney general takes state-paid trip to Texas, Trump rally
“Rokita drove about six hours north for Trump’s rally Saturday in Conroe, Texas, during which the former president mentioned Rokita as “another man who has done a fantastic job.”
On Tuesday, Rokita sent a campaign fundraising email highlighting Trump’s praise at the rally.”
Fox59: “Still, the Indiana Democratic Party is calling on Rokita to reimburse Hoosiers for his travel.”

No doubt. But does the U.S. have a greater rate of mental illness than the rest of the industrial world, which has a much less lower rate of gun violence than we have? I agree, untreated mental illness is a national tragedy. But allowing easy access to the overabundance of firearms in the U.S. is also a tragedy.
So what rational restrictions on firearms and ammo would you consider?

Tax Law Update: Beginning with 2018 tax returns, most unreimbursed employee business expenses are no longer deductible, with few exceptions. Many such expenses had been allowed as an itemized deduction in prior years, for the amount that was more than 2 percent of adjusted gross income.
Among the expenses that are no longer deductible:
- Vehicle and other local transportation expenses to visit customers
- Travel and meal expenses on trips away from home
- Work tools and equipment
- Work clothes and uniforms
- Electronics used for work, such as cell phones, tablets and computers
- Union and trade association dues
- Home office expenses
- Education costs to maintain or improve current skills
- Subscriptions to work-related professional journals and other publications
- Job search expenses
What’s Still Deductible, and for Whom?
Certain tax breaks are not affected by the law change:
- Teachers can still claim the $250 above-the-line deduction for educator expenses.
- Armed Forces Reservists can still claim certain travel expenses.
- State and local government officials who are paid on a fee basis and qualifying performing artists can still claim expenses.

The term pipeline has meaning in electrical and mechanical systems, as well as in software. In general, the term represents the concept of splitting a job into subprocesses in which the output of one subprocess feeds into the next (much like water flows from one pipe segment to the next).
A mechanical example of a pipeline is a washer/dryer system for clothing. Instead of having one unit that both washes and dries, we have two units that together form a pipeline (the output of the washer enters the drier). If washing takes 1 hour and drying takes 1 hour, the pipeline allows us to finish a full load of laundry every hour, compared to every 2 hours if you had a single (non-pipelined) unit that washed and then dried. It still requires two hours for an item of clothing to complete its wash/dry cycle of course.
Electrically, pipelines are used in microprocessors to allow complex logic sequences to execute at faster speeds. Pipelines are related to the engineering concepts of throughput and latency. See Instruction pipeline for a better discussion.
In computer software, a pipeline is a command line feature prevalent in UNIX and other UNIX-like operating systems. Douglas McIlroy, one of the authors of the early UNIX command shells, noticed that much of the time they were processing the output of one program as the input to another. The UNIX pioneers established a means of chaining the running programs together as co-processes so that the output of the first program becomes the input to the second. This was to become the famous pipes and filters design pattern. A pipeline may be extended to any number of commands with the output of one serving as the input to the next.
Commonly filter programs are used in a UNIX pipeline and they usually obey a few conventions: line structured records, reading data from the [[standard_input|standard input]], and writing to the standard output.
Below is an example of a pipeline that implements a kind of spell checker for this page.

Garbed in a powder-blue dress, white apron and white stockings, Amanda Eddy traipsed across a stage last week at Martinez Elementary School and sang about her adventures playing Alice after she tumbled down the rabbit hole.
"When we were your age, we were in school, like you, watching a special event," Eddy said to about 400 pupils after her performance as the title character in the Augusta Opera's Alice in Wonderland. "We were like, 'How can we do that?' And here we are."
So far, Alice in Wonderland has been performed at five Columbia County elementary schools, with a sixth performance today at Lewiston Elementary and a seventh Thursday at North Harlem Elementary. Additional performances of the children's opera at elementary schools are scheduled for March.
Augusta Opera production coordinator Kitty Reagan fashioned the 30-minute opera by borrowing arias from such well-known operas as Die Fledermaus and The Marriage of Figaro and replacing the lyrics with her own.
Like the Alice in Wonderland plot, the idea came to Reagan in a dream, she said.
"I've always loved the Alice in Wonderland story and it seemed like the perfect fit for our outreach program," the Evans resident said.
In an attempt to mirror Eddy's childhood enthrallment with opera, the school performances are part of an Augusta Opera outreach program intended to grow a new generation of opera lovers.
"We've seen the number of opera- and musical-goers decline over the years," Reagan said. "Through the outreach program, we're hoping to reach a new generation of opera lovers while they're still young."

Allina Healthy Community Awards announced at annual meeting
Annandale School District, Portico Healthnet selected for promoting health education and health care access
Allina Hospitals & Clinics has selected a school district and nonprofit group as the 2008 winners of its Healthy Community Award which honors organizations that demonstrate an extraordinary commitment to improving community health by creating and sustaining environments that encourage healthy living.
The 2008 winners are Annandale School District for its integration of health and wellness education into its core curriculum and to Portico Healthnet which helps uninsured Minnesotans find affordable health insurance and care.
"One of Allina's ongoing public health initiatives is combating childhood obesity," said Allina president and CEO Dick Pettingill. "Annandale Schools has partnered with our Buffalo Hospital adopting our DAAN Youth Curriculum that fosters a healthy, balanced lifestyle in children and adults by inspiring wise nutrition and activity choices. Their commitment to the health and well-being of their students and staff is an example that can be followed everywhere."
"The mission of Portico Healthnet is simple, yet vital. Portico works to reduce the number of people without coverage for health care services," says Ron James, chair of the Allina board's Community Benefit and Advocacy Committee. "Portico was created and is sustained by east metro hospitals working together to provide regular access to health care for community members with low incomes and no insurance. This successful partnership transcends competition among the nine hospitals and maintains a single focus—to reduce the number of people without coverage for health care services."
Each winner receives a plaque and a $2,500 prize to invest in their organization. This year's Healthy Community Awards were presented Wednesday, June 11, 2008 at the Annual Allina Meeting.
Annandale School District
Annandale School District has made wellness and health a core part of its curriculum across grades K-12. In 2006, the district partnered with Allina's Buffalo Hospital to introduce students in the second, third and fourth grades to the innovative new DAAN Youth Curriculum. DAAN is an innovative initiative created by Buffalo Hospital to inspire wise nutrition and activity choices to prevent chronic disease among people of all ages in a community setting. Through its consistent, integrated approach to health and wellness, the Annandale School District has created a culture of wellness throughout its schools and is helping ensure our next generation is healthy.
Portico Healthnet is a nonprofit organization that helps uninsured Minnesotans access affordable health coverage and care. Since 1995, more than 6,000 uninsured children and adults have enrolled in Portico's safety-net coverage program, and with Portico Healthnet's assistance, another 5,000 have been enrolled in public coverage programs. The organization works in partnership with hospitals throughout the metro area to help families access a continuum of preventive, primary and specialty care to improve community health and reduce dependence on emergency care.

It's all Sheila's fault. She gave me the recipe, even sent me the cherries to make it with. Now I've forgotten all about my love of banana pudding ice cream in favor of her cookies. Why couldn't I find a rice cake or raw vegetable to be zealous about!?!
I've inlcuded it for you, along with the recipe for Fritomale Casserole. I was going to have it last week but something happened and I couldn't. I was going to have it today and, yet again, fate has intervened. My son will not be happy--he loves Fritomale Casserole. You, however, can enjoy it for supper. It's one of those recipes that ladies like but men seem to adore. It'd be a good one to serve if you're having people over to watch football.
Michigan Dried Cherry Oatmeal Cookies
Sheila wrote on the recipe that she found it at cooks.com. If you can't get hold of some dried cherries, you could use raisins. The recipe says it yields 5 1/2 to 6 dozen cookies. Maybe in oompa loompa land. I got 3 dozen and wouldn't have wanted them any smaller.
1 1/4 c. butter, softened
1 1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
3/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3 c. uncooked oatmeal
1 c. dried cherries
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add to butter mixture. Stir in oatmeal and cherries. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets. Bake 8-11 minutes. Cool on pan 1 minute. Remove to wire cooling rack.
I got this recipe many years ago from Mrs. Laura Eager. What a wonderful woman she was. She and her husband George have touched many lives all over the world through their Mailbox Club ministry.
2 lb. ground beef
1 medium onion, chopped
1 Tbsp. garlic powder
1 tsp. chili powder
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1 (4 oz.) can sliced, pitted olives (need the juice too)
2 (8 oz.) bag Fritos corn chips
2 (16 oz.)cans chili with beans
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
8 oz. grated cheddar cheese
Crush Fritos in the bag. Use one bag to cover the bottom of a 13x9 dish.(Now I do things a little differently than Mrs. Laura, I don't put the Fritos on the bottom, they get soggy quickly. I just make an extra thick layer on the top, you get the same taste without the sog.) Brown ground beef with onion, garlic, chili powder, and Worcestershire sauce. Drain; pour into dish. Make a layer over the beef using the two cans of chili. Add both cans of soup, undiluted. Pour half of the olive juice over the casserole, discarding the remaining juice. Sprinkle olives on top. Cover with cheese. Top with remaining Fritos. Bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

Developers seeking a license for a slot machine facility in the Canal District detailed their plans for the first time Wednesday, billing the $240 million project as an economic boost that would bring hundreds of jobs to the city.
The slots project is tied to a plan to build an upscale hotel in the downtown area. Together, the two buildings could add 600 jobs to the local economy.
Executives from Chicago-based Rush Street Gaming LLC said the $200 million gambling facility on the Wyman-Gordon property on Madison Street would include 1,250 slot machines — the maximum allowed by state law. The 120,000-square foot building would also house two restaurants, a food court, a bar and possibly a day spa.
Along with the slots parlor — but in a different location — hotel developer Richard L. Friedman of Cambridge wants to build a $40 million full-service hotel with 150 to 200 guest rooms, ample meeting space, restaurants and a ballroom.
The developers, who have paid the $400,000 fee to apply with the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, shared their plans with the Telegram & Gazette before spending the afternoon in closed-door meetings with city councilors.
Neil G. Bluhm, chairman of Rush Street Gaming, and a longtime developer of hotels, shopping centers and more recently, casinos, said he was drawn to Worcester's central location.
“We think this is a natural place to have a casino,” he said.
Worcester is also ideal for a full-scale casino that includes table games, he said. But state law allows for only one casino in the eastern part of the state, which stretches from the Worcester area to Boston. Instead of competing for the sole casino license in the eastern zone, or considering a casino project in Western Massachusetts, Rush Street settled on a slots parlor in Worcester. The project is still unnamed.
“We've looked around the state, and we really like this situation,” Mr. Bluhm said. “We decided that we'd rather do slots-only here than a full service in Springfield.”
Rush Street is competing with three other companies for the state's sole slots parlor license. State law also allows for up to three resort casinos, which would include table games and entertainment spaces. The projects will need state and local approval.
Mr. Bluhm, who invested in the Copley Place and Faneuil Hall developments in Boston, has established a local company, Mass Gaming & Entertainment LLC, to manage the Worcester slots project.
Mr. Bluhm completed his first casino project in 2004 on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls. He later opened casinos in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh and Des Plaines, Ill.
In Worcester, Rush Street Gaming hopes to draw patrons from the 700,000 people who live within 30 minutes of the city, according to Chief Executive Officer Greg Carlin.
He stressed that the slots parlor would fit with the character of the Canal District. It would be made of brick and glass, inspired by the architecture of a 19th century mill. And it would let in something many casinos don't — natural light.
“It will feel like it belongs in the neighborhood, it's not dropped in,” said Mr. Friedman, president and CEO of Carpenter & Co. Inc. of Cambridge. “It's designed to reinforce the neighborhood.”
The developers said they would use existing streets and roads to service the facility. They're conducting a traffic analysis but said the only improvements likely needed are a traffic light or two.
The slots parlor would employ up to 450 people, from cashiers to bartenders to tech professionals. The hotel would employ 150 to 250 people.
The hotel is linked to the slots project — developers vowed not to build one without the other — but it would serve a different customer base.
City officials have advocated for a downtown hotel, and Mr. Friedman said he has been thinking about building a hotel in Worcester for many years. Financial backing from Mr. Bluhm's slots facility would help make the hotel profitable, Mr. Friedman said.
The hotel would be somewhere in the downtown. Mr. Friedman didn't say which downtown locations he was considering or if CitySquare was one of them.
“On its own, the kind of hotel we would be building would not be economic without some assistance,” he said. “The casino is a vehicle to make a hotel a reality.”
Mr. Bluhm added: They're really two separate projects, although they are contingent on each other.”
The developers held a series of meetings with city councilors Wednesday afternoon. District 2 Councilor Philip P. Palmieri emerged from a meeting and said he liked what he heard and saw.
“I was impressed with what was said and how they want to move forward,” he said. “These are first-class business people, and they were real professionals without question.”
Councilors generally refrained from praising or criticizing the project. “Our obligation is to make sure we have a good host agreement,” Mayor Joseph M. Petty said.
City Councilor Kathleen M. Toomey said, “This group has certainly done their homework in terms of the community.”
Rush Street Gaming executives plan to return to Worcester for a public meeting within a few weeks.

Firms Team Up to Migrate Windows Desktop Apps to Web in Azure Cloud
.NET dev specialists Syncfusion and Mobilize.Net have entered a partnership to help customers migrate legacy desktop applications to the Azure cloud, where they're reborn as Web apps.
Mobilize.Net, meanwhile, offers WebMAP, which the company says transforms legacy desktop apps to the Web, mobile or cloud. Specifically, Mobile.net says its tool automatically strips out Windows UI code -- such as that provided by Microsoft Windows Forms -- and converts it to Angular with HTML/CSS/JSON, while back-end code is converted to Microsoft's ASP.NET Core and business logic is left intact.
During this week's Microsoft Ignite conference, the two companies announced a partnership to combine the above technologies to help Mobilize.Net customers migrate their apps to the Web, minus the "stripping out Windows UI code" part.
Instead, Syncfusion UI code used in customer apps is left intact throughout the migration to the Web. The partnership is enabled by the release of the Syncfusion EJ2 Adaptor for WebMAP.
"With the release of the Syncfusion EJ2 Adaptor for WebMAP, Mobilize.Net's customers can more easily migrate their legacy applications to the Web, and also add a future-ready user interface with powerful data visualization by connecting to our EJ2 controls," said Daniel Jebaraj, vice president of Syncfusion, in a news release.
Mobilize.Net's John Browne provided details about the new partnership in a Monday (Sept. 27) blog post, providing examples of Syncfusion UI components.
"Syncfusion has some super cool components for ASP.NET Core," he said. "Who wouldn't want to have one of these [providing animated examples of Syncfusion components] in their Web application? And now, for customers who already have those kinds of UI elements in their Winforms apps, migration to the Web (using WebMAP and Syncfusion's EJ2 Adaptor) means you can."
Browne said that while Monday's announcement signaled Syncfusion's support for WebMAP, the code is still in beta. The news release didn't say when the Syncfusion EJ2 Adaptor for Mobilize.Net's WebMAP modernization solution would be operational.

It comes just over one month after Jackson announced he’d step down from his role but remain with the club until 2019 in a handover model similar to the succession plan that saw Simon Goodwin take over from Paul Roos as coach.
But the Dees have moved quickly to appoint Pert — a 233-game player with Fitzroy and Collingwood before taking over as the Magpies’ chief executive for a decade.
Pert made an emotional exit from Collingwood last year amid a series of reviews as the club failed to make finals again. But since his departure, the Pies have soared into top-four contention under coach Nathan Buckley, punctuated by their recent thumping of Melbourne on Queen’s Birthday.
In a frank interview, Malthouse said Pert’s departure took some heat off the club and that Collingwood was better off without him.
“There was a lot of hostility when he left and a lot of things they said they needed to get right, so to bring a person back into the game that quick — unless those things were pointed out that he can turn around — I’ve got to say I’m very surprised,” Malthouse told ABC Grandstand on Thursday night.
“There was a fair bit in-house that I don’t think was very nice, not said about him that maybe a lot of things were attributed to his failings — why Collingwood were failing. (It was) not necessarily on the ground, but certainly about the mix with the women’s comp and the membership and the sponsorship and falling attendances and all that sort of thing.
“You can’t blame one person for all of those things, but it certainly wasn’t a great wrap, if you like, coming from inside the club filtering out … So I’m surprised.
“There just seemed to be, from what I can gather, a bit of relief from (Magpies) staff.

“I heard that they were pleased that he went, put it that way.”
Malthouse admitted he “didn’t get on” with Pert during his time as Magpies coach, which ended at the end of 2011 when Malthouse handed over the reins to Buckley — a controversial succession plan Pert and president Eddie McGuire oversaw.
“He threw his lot in with Nathan very early and I was sort of pushed to the background and found things very difficult — very, very difficult. But that’s more a personality thing, I guess,” Malthouse said.
“In his case, he helped with Nathan’s development and that’s the way it is. But I’m surprised he got a job so quickly back in the football industry.”

If you’ve watched even just one episode of Iron Chef or any competitive cooking show on TV, you know professional chefs know their stoves inside and out. Of all the appliances in the kitchen, it is the stove where the chefs get the most creative and resourceful.
The stovetop is a professional chef’s tool of the trade, like a carpenter’s hammer or a welder’s stick welder. The way they use the stove is like creating art, from the way they sear shrimp to the way they pan-flip stir-fry veggies.
And the result is pure culinary magic.
Sometimes it feels like the only way to enjoy gourmet dishes that are Food Network approved is by dropping a few Benjamins at your local, fine dining restaurant.
If you’re tired of dressing to the nines and selling off your firstborn each time you want Instagram-worthy food, it’s time to start cooking like a pro.
Professional chefs know what it takes to deliver so take some tips from the experts. To start cooking like a pro, start with their preferred tool - a gas stovetop. Gas stoves offer an incredible experience with every use.
Plus it has a wide amount of benefits over electric stovetops which we explain here to help you decide if you’re ready to take the plunge for gas!
Electric cooktops work by using electricity to heat the coils which is then passed on to your pan. The transaction takes some time to initially heat your pan.
Gas, on the other hand, is an open flame that directly heats your pan so it takes very little time to get your pan to the temperature you need, even if it’s a cast iron pan stored in a cool place.
For professional chefs, it’s convenient to save time in the kitchen to quickly heat their pan and start cooking immediately.
Another reason the pros prefer gas is the control they have over the heat. Just as electricity takes some time to heat your pan, it also takes some time to adjust in temperatures, whether you need fast heat or need to cool the contents immediately.
Electric stovetops take so much time that most chefs just take the pan off the burner to cool it faster. Gas is practically immediate when it comes to making adjustments since the flame can quickly be diminished or ignited.
Electric cooktops involve coil burners and glass stovetops rely on a flat surface heating your cookware, which is great if your cookware is also flat.
But some of your best pans that have seen battle with a fat steak and are used just about every night of the week may no longer be perfectly flat so they may not heat up evenly on a flat surface, or you may have a wok which is designed for open flame.
With a gas stovetop, all you need is the flame itself to heat the pan which is obviously by no means flat. Additionally, the popular induction stoves rely on specific cookware that is high in iron so you are more limited with electricity.
The versatility of cookware allows professional chefs the freedom to cook the way they prefer.
In addition to using whichever cookware they want, the open flame also allows professional chefs to cook a more variety of foods.
With electric or induction cooktops, you can’t quite hit those high temperatures to char or smoke certain ingredients, such as tomatoes and eggplants.
With an open flame, there is more freedom and creativity to achieve all your culinary ambitions.
You may be asking yourself, “What about induction cooktops?” Electric stovetops have come a long way since coiled burners thanks to the introduction and the recent popularity of induction stovetops. Induction burners provide many of the advantages of gas, including responsiveness, immediate heat, and accurate temperature.
It also has the added benefits of safety and energy -efficiency since it only heats the pan, not the surface. However, there’s one thing induction doesn’t have - an open flame.
As mentioned above, the open flame allows for more cooking methods and cookware, the dream of every aspiring chef.

Why are younger women attracted to older men? Question Why are younger women attracted to older men? looking forward to your oppinion in progress 0 asexual, hot, sex, sexual 7 months 1 Answer 62 views 0
Answer ( 1 )
This is one of the most common questions asked about online dating. Younger women are attracted to older men because they offer stability and security. Older men are viewed as being more mature and experienced which makes them seem more attractive. They also provide financial support, companionship and emotional support. In addition, older men often have money and resources which young women desire.
Younger women are not always interested in older men though. There are exceptions to every rule. For example, younger women may be attracted to older men who are very wealthy, successful or powerful. These types of men tend to have lots of money and resources. They also tend to be dominant and possessive.
Older women are just as likely to date younger men as younger women are to date older men. However, older women usually prefer younger men. They want someone who is fun, adventurous and spontaneous. Younger women are looking for something different. They want a relationship that lasts longer and offers more commitment.
The “Older Men Are More Experienced” Myth
There are many myths surrounding relationships between older men and younger women. One myth is that older men are more experienced than younger men. Another is that older men are better lovers because they’ve had more experience.
But these two myths aren’t true. Older men may be more experienced, but there’s no evidence that this makes them better lovers. And younger women are just as attracted to older men who are more experienced.
Older Women Have More Money
Women who are attracted to older men tend to be financially secure. They’re not looking for a man who is going to take care of them, but rather a man who will support them. Older women often have more money than younger women because they’ve been through life already and learned valuable lessons along the way.
They understand the value of hard work and saving money. And they appreciate having financial security when they reach retirement age. So, they’re willing to put in the extra effort required to find a partner who shares those values.
And, since older women usually have more experience and knowledge than younger women, they’re able to teach their partners things they didn’t learn until later in life. This makes them attractive to younger men who are seeking a mentor.
Older Men Have Better Jobs
Younger women are attracted to older men because they’re perceived as having better jobs. Older men are seen as being successful, stable, and financially secure. They’re also viewed as being mature and responsible, qualities that young women find attractive.
This perception may be true, but there’s no guarantee that older men have better jobs than younger men. There are many reasons why younger men may have better jobs than older men. Younger men tend to work harder and longer hours, and they often take on multiple jobs at once. This means that they’re able to build wealth faster than older men who only work one job at a time.
There are several ways to attract younger women to older men. One is to offer them financial security. Another is to give them a sense of purpose. And another is to help them develop skills that will allow them to pursue careers outside of traditional employment.
Older Men Have Higher Status
According to a study published in The Journal of Social Psychology, older men have higher status than younger men. This means that when two men meet, the older man is perceived as having greater social power and authority.
This perception may be due to the fact that older men tend to be more successful at work and financially stable. They’re also often seen as wiser and more experienced.
Women prefer older men because they feel safer and more secure with them. Older men are typically more mature and responsible, which makes them seem trustworthy. And since women perceive themselves as being weaker than men, they view older men as stronger and more powerful.
That said, there are exceptions to this rule. Some studies show that young women prefer older men over older men. Women who are very confident and independent may find older men attractive because they’re more masculine and dominant.
Regardless of age, however, most women prefer older men over younger ones. So if you’re looking for a relationship, consider dating an older man. He’ll be more mature and responsible, and he’ll give you the security and stability you need.

As an adult... my love for peanut butter has grown. It's more than just a love... it's actually turned into something like an addiction. In the past I've always enjoyed peanut butter flavored things... or things with peanut butter and chocolate. But, I'd never been one to really enjoy peanut butter on it's on.
Until now. I sometimes find myself sitting on the couch with a spoon and the jar of peanut butter in my hand. After mindlessly shoveling 800 calories worth of peanut butter into my mouth... I realize... ummm... I don't remember going into the kitchen and getting the jar of peanut butter. But that's what peanut butter does to me, now. It's so salty and creamy and it just puts me into this trance-like state. It's dangerous. But, it's damn good.
I've had this recipe for awhile now. But, I've been choosing to eat the peanut butter in it's purest state to feed my addiction. I didn't want to compromise it's goodness by putting into a recipe with other inferior ingredients. But... I needed something to take to a pot luck with a bunch of runners and I knew that they would likely share my love of peanut butter, too.
The thing that drew me to this specific recipe... (besides the peanut butter) is the fact that it has sweetened condensed milk. I mean, let's be honest here, friends: have you ever made something that has sweetened condensed milk in it that has turned out bad? I think not. Sweetened Condensed Milk is the savior of all things baked. It can turn anything into delicious-ness.
Ever cracked open a can of Sweetened Condensed Milk and ate the whole thing by dipping graham crackers into it... and then eventually you run out of graham crackers and just go for it with your finger? Oh. No? Well, me either... but I've heard of other people doing that.
This is a good recipe. It's chewy and peanut buttery and delicious. I hate to say it, but... I actually think it would be made better with some chocolate chips sprinkled underneath the crumb topping (or... wait for it... white chocolate chips. Yum!). There is just something about baked peanut butter and sweetened condensed milk that screams out for melty chocolatey goodness.
Golden Peanut Butter Bars
recipe from Jif
This recipe is super easy and quick. The only change I made to the recipe is that I used all white whole wheat flour. This made for a more nutty (almost bitter) flavor in the aftertaste and next time I think I'd use one cup of white whole wheat flour and one cup of regular flour. I Also skipped the peanuts (just because I didn't have any).
2 cups of AP flour
3/4 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1 egg, beaten
1/2 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
1 cup chopped peanuts
1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine flour, brown sugar and egg; cut in butter until crumbly. Stir in peanuts. Reserving 2 cups of crumb mixture for the topping, press remaining mixture on bottom of 13x9 inch pan. Bake 15 minutes or until lightly browned.
In large bowl, with mixer, beat sweetened condensed milk with peanut butter and vanilla. Spread over the prepared crust; top with reserved crumb mixture.
Bake 25 minutes longer or until lightly browned. Cool. Cut into bars. Store leftovers covered at room temperature.

The very different faces of Dawlish and neighbouring Teignmouth make for an unlikely alliance: one is well spoken and delicately nibbles on scones piled high with cream and jam, while the other chomps on sweets and begs for a good time with the kiss-me-quick brigade. Mere minutes separate the two towns and holidaymakers find charms in both of these pleasant destinations in Devon, on Britain's south coast.
Dawlish is the refined Regency town, where cream teas and a picnic on The Lawn - the town's verdant parkland heart - are obligatory. Hotels in Dawlish are typical of those on the English Riviera, with cosy B&Bs in converted homes and grand hotels on the seafront.
Teignmouth, just minutes along the coast, also features fine Georgian and Victorian buildings, and it is steeped in maritime history, but the town has also retained the classic image of a British seaside resort, with a pier packed with amusements, fish and chip shops, and souvenir shops dotting the sea front.
A range of Teignmouth hotels can be found within minutes of the sea, and accommodation types include B&Bs, self-catering holiday parks and small hotels with good amenities. Don't expect the well-known hotel brands in town, you'll only find low-cost offerings from the likes of Travelodge and Premier Inn within the area.
Hotels in Dawlish and Teignmouth are quite similar in style and price, and the pleasures of the coast can be easily reached, wherever you choose to stay.
Be aware that in the peak seasons and around public holidays, some Dawlish and Teignmouth hotels might demand a two-night minimum stay. The hotels fill fast, especially in summer, so booking early is the best way to secure your break in lovely, diverse Devon.
Top five attractions
Straight out of the pages of an Enid Blyton book, the secluded beach at Coryton Cove features multi-coloured beach huts, steep cliffs and a working railway track, on which trains occasionally chug by.
When you get bored of the sand and shingles of Dawlish and Teignmouth, head to the mud flats of Dawlish Warren to meet the local friendly birds and a diverse range of wildlife.
On a clear day, you can gaze across the bay towards the Jurassic Coast. This ancient and fossil-rich stretch of coast ends in nearby Exmouth, but a quick journey will enable exploration and fossil hunting.
Dartmoor National Park
Less than an hour from Dawlish and Teignmouth is this spectacular and vast area of protected moorland, which seems to change mood with the weather. Enjoy walks in the hills.
Another short journey will deliver you to Totnes, a delightful and historic market town with much to offer visitors.
Teignmouth Carnival; July: A summer-time extravaganza of music, food and good times for the whole family.
Dawlish Air Show; August: Thousands visit the seaside resort to see the aerial acrobatics and displays of a huge variety of aircraft, including some vintage models. Be sure to book accommodation in good time to secure rooms during this popular event.
Dawlish Christmas Market; December: It might be a bustling summer destination, but Dawlish attracts crowds in winter too, especially with this pleasant market on the Strand.

Lift the solar net metering cap
DESPITE THE INCREASED ADOPTION of solar power in Massachusetts, the right of every citizen to have access to predictable and clean power is in danger. And it’s up to industry leaders and neighbors alike to speak up, and protect the solar industry. There’s an item on the agenda that could put the 12,000 clean energy jobs created in New England at risk: the net metering cap. To support jobs in New England, and the clean energy industry as a whole, it’s time to tell legislators to raise the net metering cap.
Net metering gives customers fair credit on their utility bills for clean power that they deliver to their local power grid. There’s a cap in place on how much solar power the utilities are required to accept from local solar projects. By raising the cap, we can protect clean energy jobs. What’s more, we can expand community solar, which allows the 85 percent of people in Massachusetts whose roofs aren’t quite right for solar rooftop panels an opportunity to reap the benefits of the sun.
There are literally hundreds of solar projects that are on hold because the cap has been hit in National Grid territory, and is quickly being filled in others. Some in the business sector argue that raising the cap and giving more power to renewable energy will drive jobs out of Massachusetts, and hurt our economy. Opponents to raising the net metering cap say that unless you go with the cheapest source of fuel, you’ll drive energy costs up in the state. And, those higher costs will eventually lead companies to move jobs out of state.
When you talk about the costs to support solar, it’s fundamental to look at both the benefits and the investments. The more reliant we are on natural gas for generating electricity, the more we’ll see price spikes like we did this past winter, where the average bill jumped more than 30 percent. Some say the solution is to build a bigger pipeline. But building that pipeline not only adds to the cost of infrastructure, it doesn’t eliminate our problem of an unstable energy economy. It’s now clearer to many that diversifying our energy sources will help stabilize future energy costs. And to move in that direction, we need to raise the net metering cap, and let solar thrive.
With the adoption of the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and other policies, energy costs have gone down, the gross state product has risen nearly 70 percent and has added a net $1.6 billion to the economies of the RGGI states– all the while, greenhouse gases have gone down more than 10 percent. To say that jobs are not compatible with a diversified and reasonable cost infrastructure is ludicrous. Some say diversifying energy will lead to a downturn in manufacturing jobs. But, according to the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute, manufacturing employment has been stable since 2008. That year was also the year the first major solar legislation passed, the year companies like Next Step Living were founded, and the year that solar started its growth in the Bay State. It’s difficult to justify the ire when manufacturing has seen stability since the very year solar became a priority.
And why is that? There’s predictability with solar that you can’t maintain with natural gas. Fluctuating natural gas costs don’t just affect the typical homeowner. Business owners and employees are affected, too. Difficult decisions have to be made to work around the constant variance of supply and demand of natural gas resources. Furthermore, with every dollar the Commonwealth invests in growing solar, over $2 in benefits for residents and businesses will be generated, according to studies done by the Net Metering and Solar Task Force.
All of these points lead back to our recommendation to invest in solar power.
We’re lucky that the Bay State has become a leader in solar. We’ve proven that we can keep up with the leaders in this industry. And we’re proud to be a part of that.
We won’t deny that there’s a cost to invest in renewable energy, but there’s a cost to do anything. When you consider the benefits and the cost, investing in renewable energy is a better, smarter path than to leave our economy at the mercy of natural gas price fluctuation. That’s the conversation we need to be having.
It’s time, Massachusetts, to let your Legislature know that solar needs to be on their priority list. Look up your representative at WhereDoIVoteMA.org and tell them: We need to raise the net metering cap. We need to encourage our government to take advantage of predictable costs, and not give in to uncertainty.

Two Libyans arrested for mall brawl
The city police arrested two Libyan nationals on Saturday night following a brawl at MGF Metropolitan Mall.gurgaon Updated: Apr 09, 2012 00:37 IST
The city police arrested two Libyan nationals on Saturday night following a brawl at MGF Metropolitan Mall.
They were produced in a local court and sent to jail. The youths are between 20 and 25 years and are in India on a medical visa.
The police officials said Mahmood and Farhan were arrested when they were abusing and fighting with each other in a drunken state.
The duo was coming out of the mall when they entered into an argument over some issue.
Following a heated exchange of words, both exchanged fisticuffs. They also allegedly misbehaved with other visitors in the food court.
“The medical examination of the foreign nationals confirmed they were drunk. The duo was booked for committing breach of peace or disturbing public tranquillity,” a police official said.
Earlier on April 3, the police had arrested three Libyans and two Afghani nationals for creating ruckus at Sahara Mall.

President Toribiong will also called for a global ban on shark-finning and for other nations to follow suit.
President Toribiong’s declaration will signal Palau’s continued position as a global leader in shark protection and puts to rest recent fears that Palau’s resolve in protecting sharks was waning. With this announcement Palau will remain clearly at the very forefront of worldwide efforts to protect sharks from unsustainable destruction.
This is tremendous news for Palau and for the worldwide battle to protect sharks from unsustainable destruction!
Sam’s Tours anxiously awaits the official announcement and will deeply commend President Toribiong for his strong international leadership in world wide efforts to protect sharks.

Kolkata: The Left Front – which destroyed everything in the political landscape of Bengal in the recent elections – has sympathy from an unexpected quarter today. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee said, “I am politically opposed to them but I do not want to see them as zero.” That.
“It would have been better if they had won seats instead of the BJP,” Banerjee said, adding that he had chosen the BJP leftists in the opposition benches in the state assembly.
Then came the sting. “They have sold themselves and become a signboard in their zeal to support the BJP. They have to think about it,” the chief minister said.
This will be the first time since independence that the 294-seat Bengal Legislative Assembly will not have leftists or members of Congress. The parties that have long dominated state politics have now given the BJP its place.
The BJP had won 77 seats in the Assembly elections declared yesterday. The remaining 213 went to Mamata Banerjee’s Trinamool Congress, giving her a third straight term.
Left leaders have called the party’s performance catastrophic. Many have admitted that the alliance with Islamic cleric Abbas Siddiqui was a mistake.
Faced with the BJP’s chances of victory in the state, Muslims have voted for Mamata Banerjee, even in districts like Malda and Murshidabad where the Congress had a hold.
Many leftist leaders argued that Bengal saw anti-BJP votes that merged around the Trinamool Congress.
He said the center was on the BJP and Trinamool, which had estimated itself as the only option and reaped the benefits.
He says he focused more on the BJP and benefited the Trinamool as the TMC presented itself as the only option for the BJP.
Leader Manoj Bhattacharya said, “This is a catastrophe.” One octocrat has registered his victory over another dictator … The common man thought that the Trinamool was the only option to resist the BJP. Of the Revolutionary Socialist Party.
But it was the party’s alliance with Congress – which it formed in 2016 and opposed with teeth and nails by everyone’s central leaders – that led to a huge fascination with hardcore left supporters. Both sides have spent decades as bitter opponents – indeed they were just as much in Kerala.
Moreover, the 35-year-old left-wing regime has practically destroyed the grassroots support system of the Congress and any alliance with it will prove costly for the leftists, many believe.
Congress has congratulated Mamata Banerjee for defeating BJP. Rahul Gandhi tweeted, “I am happy to congratulate Mamata ji and the people of West Bengal for defeating the BJP properly.”
But known for the dislike of the party’s region president Mamata Banerjee, he blamed her for the polarization, especially in her party’s g-hold where the Congress lost.
“Hindus in Murshidabad and Malda voted for BJP and Muslims voted for Trinamool. This was a purely communal campaign by Mamata Banerjee,” said Adhir Chaudhary, state party president.

Spin Casino Review
Spin Casino is one of the leading online sportsbooks. Therefore, it has built a solid reputation on reliability and playability. Although it isn’t flawless, it certainly is one of the best choices available in the web betting space today. A number of the key highlights of these service will be the big game selection, the large bonus potential, and their especially impressive website’s mobile compatibility.
The truth that it lets you bet on a variety of live sporting events is really a huge draw for some gamblers. And since there are over forty different games to choose from, including multiple versions of craps and poker, there is something for everyone. They even have spin casino bonus features on the main website. These include cash matches, slots, game winners and jackpots, which can be doubled or tripled once you play via the internet. However, another way they differentiate themselves from other online gambling venues is in the selection of games.
Of the forty games available during our review, four of these can be found exclusively for players who take part in Spin Casino through their website. These include Craps, Roulette, 솔레 어 카지노 꽁 머니 Baccarat, and Slots. Each of these offers its unique benefits and unique payout rates. Once we mentioned above, Spin Casino is by far the best online casino to join to be able to bet on a lot of casino games.
One of many big attractions of spin casino roulette may be the large bonus potential. Once you sign up, you will find that your winnings are in addition to the money you have in your account. The nice thing about this is that the bonuses you obtain from playing on the website need not be paid back. Because of this if you decide to make additional deposits after you join the website, they too will get you a bonus on your own first spin. You’ll therefore be able to use all the available gaming options after receiving your initial sign up bonus.
Spin Casino offers an extensive range of bonuses made to appeal to every person in the gaming community. For example, if you take part in any of the member specials, like the “Online Golden Giveaway”, you’ll earn a 10% bonus on all future bets. Not merely are these bonuses completely free but they can be played on an as-needed basis. Members may also be encouraged to become “area of the team” and create their very own bonuses. For example, in the event that you enroll in the eBay NEVADA Hotels’ community, you may earn free hotel stays once you make deposits.
To get the maximum benefits from the bonuses available through the site, members should take a couple of minutes to examine the banking options on offer. The main banking options available are MasterCard and Visa. While these cards are accepted at most Spin Casino casinos, they tend to get a much lower maximum bonus amount. If you’re a loyal customer, there is absolutely no reason to switch to another charge card.
An added aspect of Spin Casino that is worth noting is the staff. Staff as of this online casino are friendly, helpful and intensely knowledgeable. They’re constantly visiting the many games, ensuring that everyone playing during our review comes with an experience that is enjoyable and profitable. At the time of our review, there were no complaints about the slot games, but there was one issue – players tend to feel that the bonus structure at this online casino is a little too generous. We advise players to contact the gaming company regarding this matter.
Spin Casino is an online casino which has recently received many media attention, largely due to its slot games. The website and its own bonus structure appear to be very popular with players. The web site looks attractive and is simple to navigate. In case you are currently looking for a casino bonus or online gambling holiday, then Spin Casino may be one of your very best options. It is one of many easiest casinos to access and a great return on investment.

According to a recent study, many states that cut back unemployment benefits post-recession actually experienced minimal savings.
The Economic Policy Institute (EPI) issued the study and discovered that six of eight states that cut benefits didn’t have significant savings as a result. In fact, the states saved merely 37 cents per week for every employed worker in their state. This is in comparison to the $252 lost by unemployed workers on a weekly basis.
In a statement, Joshua Smith, one of the study’s authors, said:
“The key to prevent unemployment trust funds from becoming insolvent is to raise more revenue in good times to be able to spend it in bad times. The wave of insolvency in state unemployment insurance accounts in the aftermath of the Great Recession was the result of policymakers’ failure to follow that simple rule.”

The "golden years" of your retirement are ideally filled with making memories with the grandchildren and taking all those globe-trotting trips you've always fantasized about — you needn't spend all that free time worrying about how you'll pay all the monthly bills.
"Men age 65 today can expect to live to 83, and women to almost 86, according to data from the National Center for Health Statistics. That also means, however, that you have a lot of living years you’re going to need to pay for," Time advises.
Time.com offered 3 moves to ensure you don’t run out of money:
- Time your career exit on your terms
- "Some 65% of baby boomers plan to stay on the job after age 65 or never retire, according to a recent survey by Transamerica Center for Retirement Studies. Working longer extends your saving while reducing the number of years you must cover. You also get a fatter Social Security benefit for every month before age 70 you delay taking it. But Time warns that you can’t count on your job lasting. Stay engaged in your current career… … or try one a new one. Boston College researchers found that in many professions people retire early because key abilities decline with age—dentists, for example, need to maintain fine motor control. In other jobs, older workers may lack cutting-edge skills. So by your fifties, take steps to extend your employability."
- Try a practice retirement first
- "Try the “pinch” test. For a month of your practice phase, live on a budget that fits a common annual withdrawal rule, such as taking out 3% to 4% of your nest egg the first year, to be increased in later years by inflation. (Take the yearly amount and divide by 12.)"
- Ease your way into a safer income stream
- "Investors looking for stability in frothy markets have poured $25 billion into indexed annuities so far in 2015. Right idea, wrong annuity. Unlike those complex and often cost-laden investments, a simpler tool called a fixed immediate annuity can be a good way to lock up guaranteed income. They aren’t so popular, though, with 2015 sales of about $5 billion."
To be sure, Americans are woefully unprepared for life after work.
“The lack of plans is fueling a retirement-savings crisis. Few workers save anything outside of employer-sponsored plans. Only 8 percent of taxpayers eligible to set aside money in an IRA or Roth IRA did so in 2010, according to the IRS,” Bloomberg News
“Forget for a moment the debate as to whether Social Security will be around (it's easily made solvent). At present, Social Security benefits average $15,700 a year, far below what most people need to replace the median U.S. salary of $53,657,” Bloomberg View’s Barry Ritholtz points out.
Then, he said, consider:
- Half of U.S. workers lack company-sponsored retirement plans.
- Only 45 percent of businesses with fewer than 100 employees offer 401(k)s.
- Those who work part time, or switch jobs frequently, or work at a small company, are less likely to have an employer-sponsored retirement plan.
“It's not just that the U.S. retirement situation is bad — it's that it's trending in the wrong direction,” he said.
To put it in perspective, runaway income inequality is producing grossly unfair retirement outcomes, according to a study from two progressive think tanks — the Center for Effective Government and the Institute for Policy Studies.
The top CEO retirement accounts are worth a combined $4.9 billion — equal to the total retirement account savings of the 41 percent of all American households with the lowest retirement wealth, Reuters cites the study as saying.
Among all Fortune 500 CEOs, the typical value is $17.7 million. That includes the present value of defined benefit pensions, 401(k) account balances and other deferred compensation.

According to Autocar India, Hero MotoCorp is readying a 300cc motorcycle to go against the likes of KTM Duke390, KTM Duke250, and the bikes from TVS-BMW partnership like BMW G310 R , G310 GS and TVS Apache RR 310. The bike will be based on XFR3 concept showcased at Auto Expo 2016.
According to Autocar Professional’s(Autocar India sister magazine) sources privy to the project, the new motorcycle is in the final stages of validation. The new 300cc model, along with the incoming 200cc Xtreme and the XPulse adventure motorcycle (revealed at EICMA 2017), will sit atop all other products in Hero’s portfolio and will mark Hero’s foray into the growing mid-size motorcycle segment.
The new 300cc motorcycle will be positioned as the natural upgrade option for many of its existing customers who have been riding executive commuter motorcycles. Replying to Autocar India / Autocar Professional’s query on the sidelines of the EICMA Show in Milan in November 2017 on Hero MotoCorp’s plan of retaining its large customer base with new premium and aspirational products, Pawan Munjal, CMD, Hero MotoCorp, had said, “I am sure when you will see me after the Auto Expo, having seen this (the XPulse) and some of the products at the Auto Expo and the directional posture that Hero MotoCorp has taken, you will change your view. We are putting a lot of focus on some of the areas such as the high growth segments.”
Source: Autocar India
Mr. Pawan Munjal, Chairman, MD & CEO, Hero MotoCorp Ltd,was today felicitated by the All India Management Association (AIMA) for the rapid global expansion of Brand Hero.
Hero MotoCorp, the world’s largest two-wheeler manufacturer, was adjudged the ‘Indian MNC of the year’ by AIMA at a glittering function in the national capital today.
Receiving the award, Mr. Munjal said “Brand Hero has expanded to 35 countries spread across Asia, Africa and Central and South America in a very short span of time since charting its solo journey in 2011. We added Argentina, the second largest two-wheeler market in Latin America, to our international footprint in January this year, where we also unveiled the new Glamour motorcycle in our first global product launch.”
Hero MotoCorp, which sold more than 6.6 million two-wheelers in FY’17, is the only Indian two-wheeler company to have a manufacturing facility in Latin America. Hero’s manufacturing plant is situated at Vila Ricca in Colombia
Hero is also set to open its second global manufacturing facility in Bangladesh later this year.
Ignitor, Impulse, Passion xPro, Maestro are going to be phased out by April 2017
India’s largest two-wheeler maker, Hero MotoCorp will terminate sales of some of its models like the Maestro, Ignitor, Impulse and Passion xPro which were acquired under a licensing agreement with former partner Honda. The discontinuation will happen by the end of the current financial year.
According to Hero, they has achieved a significant milestone by launching the all-new Splendor iSmart 110. The automaker believes it has sufficient capability to develop new products for global customers. Hero has already got the Maestro Edge to replace the older version of the Maestro while sales of two-wheelers like the Ignitor, Impulse and Passion xPro is limited.
Recently the company launched its first in-house designed and developed motorcycle, the Splendor iSmart 110, which has a price tag of Rs. 53,000/- (ex-showroom, Delhi). Also, the company is looking at replacing its old models with new models developed on its own new technology.
The Hero Splendor iSmart 110 comes with an all-new engine developed at the company’s innovation centre in Jaipur. Hero MotoCorp has designed the new chassis and body for the new Splendor which results in savings on royalty payments to Honda.
The world’s largest selling 2-wheeler brand is planning to enter 50 new markets while setting up 20 manufacturing facilities across the globe, targeting an annual turnover of Rs. 60,000 crores by the end of this decade. However, due to some uncertain economic conditions in Africa, Latin and Central America, Hero MotorCorp has been facing some heat in its global ambitions.
The company is looking at replacing its existing products as well as introducing new ones developed with its own technology.

Why in the world would anyone who lives in Missouri, in the heartland of the country, want to abolish the Electoral College?
It was created by the founding fathers to protect us, the inhabitants of states with smaller populations. Every vote counts sounds good, but think about it: the populations and politics of New York, California, Texas and Florida would completely dominate a popular vote. I’d rather take my chances by spreading the choice of a president throughout our great country on an equal basis. We all get two senators and that sort of works. Give the people of Nebraska an equal shot with the people of Maine.
We may not all agree, but the overall average of what Americans are thinking has got to be more fair than the overwhelming politics of a few population centers. The founding fathers had it right, as usual. You might not get the president you want, but, in the long run, it’s better than getting the president only chosen by the people of southern California or New York City.

A Tesla employee has been arrested by Fremont Police Department on suspicion of shooting a colleague in the Fremont factory car park. As we reported yesterday, the police department released information that the case was being taken over by the homicide department as it had been deemed a “suspicious death”.
The police have now released a more detailed statement, announcing that they have arrested 29-year-old Anthony Solima of Milpitas on a murder charge.
They explained in the statement:
“Homicide detectives responded to the scene and took over the investigation. They learned that the victim and had just finished a shift at the Tesla manufacturing factory before being shot in the parking lot as he left. Within several hours, detectives developed leads on a potential suspect who
also worked with the victim. Detectives learned that the victim and suspect had been arguing earlier in the day, and that the suspect had suddenly walked off the job.”
Solima was taken into custody without issue in Milpitas late last night:
Solima was transported to FPD where he was interviewed by homicide detectives before being booked at Santa Rita Jail. This investigation remains active as detectives continue with additional follow up. There are no outstanding suspects, and detectives do not believe there is any additional risk to the community.
A photograph of the suspect was released, and a rifle that had been seized from his car was shown. The police withheld the victim’s name while his identification is verified by the coroner, but they did say that both the victim and the suspect worked for Tesla. With the inquiry ongoing, it is unclear how Tesla is involved and whether it’s having an impact on the Fremont factory at this time.

It is a process of getting a task done through people. There have been numerous amounts of theories and assumptions that have varied. Although words about leadership have been written by Egyptian and Greek philosophers about five thousand years ago, but the studies about different approaches to leadership did not commence until after World War 1. Since then, there has been a multitude of perspectives and theories produced.
The "Personality approach" emphasizes at the individual attributes of leaders, such as self confidence, risk taking, creativity, and persuasiveness. The "Behavior approach" looks at the actual activity performed by any leader that involves assessing regular tasks and behavioral characteristics of leaders. Lastly, the "Situational approach" focuses on leadership in terms of its relationships with factors such as subordinates, and peers. This approach is also referred to as "Contingency theory" because the situation determines the role of the leader.
First time a scientific research was carried out was in the early part of the twentieth century. ...Show more
