According to a revised architectural report, the former building of the Henry Carter Hull Library could adequately house the school system's central office.
"It can accommodate the school offices, as we had discussed with the board of education," said architect Al Jacunski, of Jacunski Humes Architects of Newington, which has almost finished its revision of a report on the former library building's space for the school board.
Moving the central office, currently located in the Lewin Joel Jr. School, to the former library building at 10 W. Main St. would "utilize a very prominent historical building in the center of town," Jacunski said.
There are still some questions as to whether there would be enough parking, especially during meetings, Jacunski said. He added the report will be submitted to the town after "dotting all the i's and crossing all the t's."
If the building is converted for the offices, an elevator and a new staircase would have to be added to meet state and federal building codes. There are no estimates yet as to how much the project would cost.
As the student population continues to increase, school officials have discussed moving the offices out of Joel School to make room for more classrooms.
Last year, the school board asked the architectural firm to draft a study on whether the former library had enough space for the central office, a meeting room and the special services office. In December, the architects reported that there was not enough room for what the board wanted to do.
In the spring, the board asked Jacunski Humes to take another look at the building and see if just the central office and a small meeting room would fit.
First Selectman James McCusker has said that he would like to see the education offices move into the building. One benefit to doing so, he said, is that it would bring the school offices downtown, with the rest of the town buildings.
The schools' new superintendent, Albert Coviello, who officially began last week, said he is waiting for more information about the building and parking space before making a decision.
The West Main Street building was vacated last month when the library moved to a new, larger building on Route 81.
School Board Chairwoman Deborah Grass said she has not seen the report, but expects to discuss it with the board next month.

Am I still a massive fan of the Darksiders series and do I think Darksiders 3 is a worthy addition? My answer of course is yes, however, I’m more looking forward to Darksiders 4 to see if the developer learns from its mistakes. Perhaps next time they can spend a bit more money on Quality Assurance too.
Sid Meier's Civilization VI is a fantastic addition to the Nintendo Switch library. It brings one of the best games on PC to Nintendo's handheld with little compromise. Sure there's no online multiplayer and the Rise and Fall expansion is missing, but everything else about the core game is present and correct, especially in that it's as addictive as ever, in fact probably even more so.
Graphics are the main standout feature of indie game and the games unique visual style leaves a strong impression on the player. The narrative whilst simplistic is endearing and the concept stands out as memorable and unique, Moonlighter is a intriguing and clever approach at the action adventure genre and one which will have no trouble standing out.
Pinstripe is the result of one man’s passionate attempt to create a whimsical tale which sits shoulder to shoulder with other highly regarded indie titles. Pinstripe not only matches the success of these games but in some cases surpasses them by delivering a clean cut adventure, one which is hard to forget and easy to recommend.
For now, the future of the final season is up in the air and we can’t be sure as to what will happen with the two remaining unpublished episodes. If this is the last, we see of Clementine its been a bittersweet adventure, one which I hope gets the ending it deserves.
To me, Astro Bot: Rescue Mission is platforming at its finest, it's fun, looks fantastic and is challenging enough to keep you coming back for more. I can't recommend Astro Bot highly enough, I just hope this is the start of more quality content for PlayStation VR.
Life is Strange 2: Episode 1 is all about the story. You shouldn’t really come into this expecting an experience heavy on gameplay, because if you are then it won’t be for you. Episode 1: Roads is a tale of brotherhood and education, with both siblings supporting and growing from each other. This is only the beginning though and based on what’s come so far it’s only going to get a lot better.
Quinn is the one who explores the game, each nook and cranny and the one who is a threat from a ticking clock. For the most part you are just a passenger in his story, it’s a great concept but a few creases need ironing out to make STAY an truly unmissable game.
The Long Dark is a well cultivated survival game with an enthralling story mode heavily influenced by the early access survival mode which granted the game success back in 2014. The Long Dark beautifully pairs together intense survival an intriguing story resulting in an entrancing and addictive experience. With more content to come in future The Lone Dark is rewarding and enjoyable game, one that makes it worth struggling through those long cold nights.
Just from the first episode is impossible to know the layout for the final season. Done Running gives players a taste of its new graphical style, collectibles and introduces an array of secondary characters, most of which probably won’t survive to see the finale. Done Running is just a taster of what’s to come, and we’re hungry for more.
Donut County is a unique and fun experience. It's fun to play, is well designed and works well, without any major issues. The game costs half the price on iPad, but if you are a trophy hunter you'll likely feel £9.99 is still a fair price for all the game has to offer.
With fantastic action on the park and ever improving graphics, it does feel like PES is moving in the right direction. With a few more tweaks to the little things such as menus and team management screens, I see no reason why it can’t upset the big boys and one day become the football game on everyone’s lips. For now though it’s still a work in progress. Much like Steven Gerrard’s Rangers.
Enforce the will of The Emperor and purge an onslaught of heretics in the latest edition to the catalogue of Warhammer 40K video games in NeocoreGames, Inquisitor Martyr. Unlike recently released Space Hulk: Deathwing, Inquisitor Martyr steers clear of manic, FPS shooter mechanics and instead adopts a Diablo-esque, action-RPG style of gameplay that does the extensive and intriguing 40K universe a far greater degree of justice.
We Happy Few is enticing, and the premise of this twisted dystopian thriller certainty has its hooks. The setting is eerie and heavily implemented regulations leave the city of Wellington Wells feeling dense with pressure and rules. It’s a tale reminiscent of George Orwell’s 1984, but for this game to also become a classic it still needs some work.
Whilst State of Mind boasts an impressive level of immersion for an indie title, its let down by its content. Half is exciting and fresh and involves unravelling the plot and exposing the secrets of the game, whereas the other half feels like filler. It’s a slow burning mystery and one that has a great finale and conclusion, but slow gameplay may result in the stones in this thriller being left upturned.
There aren’t many great couch co-op games but Overcooked 2 is certainly one of them. Sure it may cause a few arguments and have you tearing your hair out at your fellow chef’s incompetence, but you’ll have so much fun playing this game you’ll never want to leave the kitchen. Buy it now, or forever regret it.
Overall the game encompasses a powerful message told in a powerful way. Everything is thoughtfully implemented, faded colours show signs of depression and in Anamorphine small and subtle acts lead to bigger things. Anamorphine and its core message made me wonder. However, when I look back on this game I will remember the lags, repetition hidden amidst Elena’s powerful story.

A rally for voting rights outside the Texas State Capitol, July 2021 (Eric Gay/AP)
The US Justice Department is suing Texas over a plan to redraw districts, which could diminish the ballots of Black and Latino voters.
Attorney General Merrick Garland said Monday that the redistricting plan violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, under which voters cannot be denied equal access to the political process based on their race or ethnicity.
Many observers consider the Texas plan, adopted by the Republican-controlled legislature in October, as gerrymandering — the manipulation of district boundaries to favor one party.
In early November, the Justice Department sued Texas over its law restricting voting rights, including for those who do not speak English, people with disabilities, older voters, and those who live outside the US.
Texas is one of a series of states with Republican legislatures and governors who have passed the restrictions after the 2020 election in which President Joe Biden defeated Donald Trump.
But the latest Department lawsuit highlights another process to tilt states into the long-term control of one party, in the redistricting process that occurs once each decade. This year 17 states have completed Congressional maps this year, and more are expected to do so before spring.
In Texas, some districts with a significant proportion of minority voters have been eliminated. Other voters have been moved into rural, predominantly white areas. In one case, some voters in Dallas will cast ballots for a district whose center is 100 miles away.
Associate Attorney General Vanita Gupta summarized that the Texas plan’s “discriminatory intent…denies Black and Latino voters the equal opportunity to participate in the election process”.
Texas’s Trumpist and Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton used Twitter to denounce the Justice Department’s lawsuit:
The Department of Justice's absurd lawsuit against our state is the Biden Administration's latest ploy to control Texas voters. I am confident that our legislature's redistricting decisions will be proven lawful, and this preposterous attempt to sway democracy will fail.
— Texas Attorney General (@TXAG) December 6, 2021
The lawsuit is unlikely to have any effect before mid-term Congressional next November. In the last decade, courts took years to decide litigation over Republican-led redistricting in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, and other states, ordering revision of the boundaries.
The Justice Department’s task has been made more difficult by the Supreme Court’s weakening of the 1965 Voting Rights Act in recent years. Unlike in previous decades, states do not have to submit voting maps for prior clearance by the Department.
In 2019, the Supreme Court weakened the legal grounds for challenging voter maps. The conservative majority ruled that partisan gerrymandering cannot be challenged in federal court.
In July, in a case involving Arizona’s restrictions on voting rights, the Supreme Court voted 6-3 to further limit the Voting Rights Act. The six conservative justices ruled that the Act can only block restrictions when they effectively prevent minority voters from casting a ballot at all.
The Supreme Court has also removed the capacity to sue states under the Voting Rights Act in federal court. Instead, the Justice Department’s lawsuit has been filed in El Paso, Texas, with any appeal would going through a 5th Circuit dominated by conservative judges.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club follow the release of their critically acclaimed fourth album 'Baby 81' with a UK tour for July 07. The band will also be releasing a new single 'Berlin' to coincide with the dates. The track was picked out in many reviews as a highlight of the new album and there will be new unreleased tracks featured across the formats. Support on all non-festival shows comes from The Black Angels.

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club are currently on their biggest headline tour to date in the US and have sold out the entire run of West Coast shows. At the Chicago show the venue had a very early curfew, so the band took to the streets with acoustic guitars after the plug was pulled on their set and continued the gig in an alley until the police came and moved them on.
Black Rebel Motorcycle Club have recently picked up a couple of celebrity endorsements - at the LA show (at the legendary Wiltern Theatre) the actress Marg Helgenberger ('Catherine Willows' in CSI) was spotted at the show and in Japan Johnny Depp was sporting a BRMC patch on his jacket. Rumours that Captain Jack Sparrow was actually based on Peter Hayes have been dismissed out of hand.
Corgan took to Instagram to confirm rumours of new Pumpkins material, saying the first songs could arrive as early as May.

Following the Schaeffer’s Oil Southern Nationals driver Carson Ferguson was feeling a bit down having lost out in the series standings after having led in points with just two races remaining. Particularly stinging was the penultimate event for that tour at North Georgia Speedway when he was passed by Dale McDowell after being held up by a slower car just past the white flag.
However, a closer look at the season compiled by the 23-year-old from Lincolnton, North Carolina reveals that he had no reason to be disappointed at all. The younger cousin of Dirt Late Model ace Chris Ferguson won the Schaeffer’s Oil Spring Nationals title for the second consecutive season earlier this year. The Don and Gena Bradsher-owned Paylor Motorsports team also added a $10,000 victory with the Hunt The Front Super Dirt Series at Swainsboro Raceway in May.
The proof that Ferguson had recovered from not only the disappointment of the Southern Nationals ending but also a hard crash at Eldora Speedway during the World 100 weekend came in another Hunt The Front show at Swainsboro when he collected a career high $23,000 payday for beating a solid field of competitors to the checkered flag.
“It’s definitely gotten better,” Ferguson declared in an interview with InsideDirtRacing.com. “We’ve been fast but we just haven’t had a lot of luck. We struggled the first night at Eldora, passed for the lead Friday night in the heat race then had a flat tire and that kind of just put us behind. We ended up wrecking and junking our car. We went to Swainsboro and struggled the first night then bounced back the second night.”
That Swainsboro effort came at just the right time.
“It was definitely a much needed win both for the bank account and for us personally showing that we could still do it even this late in the season,” he added. “This time of year, I kind of fall off a little bit. I hit my stride there right at Dream time then at Smoky Mountain we ran good then it’s like I kind of die off this time of the year. We’re trying to change the setup around from what I normally do. The way the dirt is and it’s not as hot, it changes some stuff so I’m trying to learn that too on the setup side.”
Those big wins and championships have helped the driver who has only been driving Super Late Models for two seasons gain confidence when taking on the top stars in the sport.
“You definitely feel like you have an advantage because we’ve raced here this year and they only come for this race, but at the same time, they’re professionals,” he said in the Tri-County Race Track pit area prior to the Castrol FloRacing Night in America event. “They win the amount of money they win and they win the races they win each year because they are who they are and they can adapt. That kind of takes away the advantage you feel like you have so it puts us all on an even playing field. Ricky(Thornton Jr.) and Bobby(Pierce) have been really good this year, it’s just their year. Everything goes right for them it seems like.”
According to Ferguson, all the pieces and parts that make up a good night at the race track have consistently fallen into place for Thornton and Pierce this season. The hope for every racer is that those nights come along for them in the same way.
“Everybody has those years where things just go your way so hopefully everything has to go your way from where you pill draw to where you go out to qualify, where you start in a heat race- outside or inside -where you lineup on restarts,” he explained. “There’s a lot of things that go into it because everybody is so equal and the cars are so close. You can have a little different setup, but at the end of the day, there’s only so much you can do with these things. Everybody’s pretty close shock wise, adjustment wise. You’ve just got get all you can get and hope things go your way.”
After what has to be considered a successful 2023, what does Ferguson hope to accomplish after the calendar turns over?
“I’ve definitely got to be more consistent, I had that goal at the beginning of this year and didn’t really achieve it. I felt good during the Spring Nationals, but through the year, I would like to have less DNFs, whether they’re in our control or not, I want to be more consistent. We’re always fast but you’ve got to have so many things go your way just to have a top-5 or a top-10. We’ll go to a lot of new tracks next year, probably. In that case, I would like to be able to line up at those tracks in different regions. This year, we stayed around the same region that we did last year and I feel like we developed a notebook and you could tell. Next year I would like to get more wins, obviously, and keep building that notebook to where in three or four years we could be the next Ricky Thornton or Bobby Pierce of this year.”

This ongoing series is going to look at the correlation between being a song and dance man and a fantastic movie comic book hero. Am I just a musical nut who also loves comic books and is trying to bring both beautiful worlds together? Absolutely! But I’ll let you see the connection for yourself.
Part 1: Christian Bale - Bruce Wayne/Batman
• Bale’s Batman was born out of the pages of the best (ie=darker) Batman comic books. He’s just as noir as can be. Thankfully that just happens to be my ideal Batman-smart, angsty, but still charming with a dash of dry-wit.
• If you haven’t seen Newsies at least a dozen times drop everything buy the DVD and prepared to get enlightened. I mean if you don’t cry when he sings “Santa Fe” I’ll personally come and punch you in the gut until the streams of pure musical joy come out of your eye ducts. Yes, it’s that fantastic!
• Newsies was directed/choreographed by Kenny Ortega. Now if you don’t know who he is be prepared to look 10 years younger (and wiser)……….He’s also the Emmy winning director of Disney’s insanely popular High School Musical and its sequel…..High School Musical…..wait for it…..2!!!!!

LIBERTY, Mo. - Imagine your property tax bill being chopped from thousands of dollars per year down to mere pocket change. It happened to a Kansas City area landowner after he recently won a lengthy legal battle against the government.
The issue stems from Missouri’s definition of a farm. Where some people might see a vacant piece of commercial property, others are seizing an opportunity to harvest huge tax savings.
But in a 41 Action News investigation, critics warn the outcome of the court case could come at a big cost to school districts and taxpayers.
Is it vacant land or a farm?
On a busy Northland street, hundreds of drivers pass by a vacant piece of land every day, located just east of 169 on Northwest 68th Street and straddling the Kansas City and Gladstone city limits.
The three-acre property is zoned for commercial use. It sits across the street from a Quik Trip and strip mall. A hospital is its next-door neighbor. Many people likely assume the vacant land will eventually be replaced by some sort of development.
Bob Bateman thought the same things when he bought the property in 1997. However, more than a decade later, he is still holding onto the land while waiting for an appealing offer. Meantime, he sees the property as his three-acre farm.
It took a long time for the law to agree with that assessment.
Legal battle begins
Several years ago, Bateman was frustrated by the amount of his property taxes in Clay County. The investor scrutinized Missouri’s tax laws and he noticed a section that defined agricultural property. Specifically, he focused on the phrase that reads, “Devoted primarily to the raising and harvesting of crops.”
It planted an idea.
“I decided to get into the hay-baling business,” Bateman said.
In 2007, Bateman let the grass grow and then paid to have it mowed and baled. He did not make a profit on the sale, but felt he had found his cash crop in the form of a huge tax break. Bateman snapped photos and took his evidence to the Clay County Assessor to request that his property's assessment value be changed to productive use agriculture.
What was the reaction from county officials?
“They were totally against it,” Bateman said.
Clay County Assessor Cathy Rinehart explained why Bateman’s argument was not taken lightly.
“The tax bill changes dramatically,” she said, while noting the possible implications for other vacant parcels in Clay County.
Clay County’s Board of Equalization denied Bateman’s request, but he took his property debate to the State Tax Commission, which ruled in his favor.
However, Clay County appealed and Circuit Judge Larry Harman reversed the decision.
“If grass growing on land is automatically an agricultural use, then there would be no vacant and unused land,” wrote Harman in the decision. “In the instant case where the cost to have the grass cut and baled into hay is 20 times the sale price, there is no legitimate business interest in doing it.”
Harman also noted that zoning ordinances in Kansas City and Gladstone prohibit growing grass more than 10 inches high.
“Victory for property rights” cuts tax bill by thousands of dollars
Bateman did not waste any time letting the Circuit Court know what he thought about the ruling. The very next day, he placed a large, handmade sign on the property that read, “Bad Judge Harman.”
Bateman also did not hesitate taking his case to the Missouri Court of Appeals Western District .
“I think it’s important people do speak out,” said Bateman, who is known in the area for launching other legal battles against the government about property rights, zoning classifications and taxes. He estimates this particular case cost him about $20,000 in legal fees.
Finally, five years after the land debate first started making hay in Clay County, the Appellate Court ruled Bateman’s land met the legal definition of an active farm in February.
Bateman’s new tax bill: about $5 per year.
It is a huge drop from the roughly $4,000 he had been paying. In addition, Bateman is due a refund from the taxes he overpaid the previous two years.
“A person can’t afford to keep paying thousands of dollars for property just sitting there,” said Bateman. “This is a huge victory for property rights.”
Other developers seek farm status
The ruling immediately made waves inside the Clay County’s Assessor’s Office.
“I just about passed out,” said Rinehart. “It’s not a good decision for the state of Missouri."
Clay County has 732 parcels of vacant agricultural land that total about $19.6 million in assessed value. If all those properties applied for productive use value, the county said it would cut the value by 99 percent.
After the ruling, other investors also asked for the lower tax rate. One piece of land is visible from Interstate 35 in Liberty and sits next to a Ford dealership and a hotel. The land owner told 41 Action News he has baled hay on the property for years.
According to Clay

The (former?) couple conversed on Twitter today, though, and we believe the flames of their love may burn with a renewed passion!!
The tattooed lovers said:

Oooh! Are they getting back together!?
Anyone who calls themselves an Ink Master was devastated after watching them toss in the towel on their relationship!
Especially when it appeared Deadmau5 was slippin' Chelsea Kane the old rat tail behind Kat's back!! Ironic, yes … but still rather heartbreaking.
But maybe the rumors were wrong!
We're crossing our fingers, hoping these vague tweets mean their giving romance a second shot!!

After a year in which hate crimes against Indian Christians happened at a rate of almost one verified incident per day, the state which registered the most incidents in 2017 (over 50) – Tamil Nadu – continues to see outbreaks of violence.
The trouble began after a few caste Hindus youths reportedly told the dalits that they should not participate in the car festival of the Adaikalamatha Church.

Brian Hayes chancing his arm with Corporate Tax comments – Carthy
Sinn Féin MEP for Midlands North-West Matt Carthy has described Brian Hayes as a “chancer” following comments from the Fine Gael MEP that Sinn Féin MEPs “sided with the far right and refuse to back corporate tax transparency rules”.
Carthy, who has been campaigning for full public country-by-country reporting by large multinationals, abstained on today’s vote on the proposal in the European Parliament due to the report being watered down and ridden with loopholes by conservative groups.
The Sinn Féin MEP said:
“Tax justice campaigners, development NGOs and progressive economists have been campaigning for the introduction of full public country-by-country reporting for more than a decade. This proposal could be the most important development to date in lifting the veil on profit-shifting by multinational corporations.
“I voted in favour of amendments to broaden the coverage of the Directive to companies that meet the EU definition of ‘large undertakings’ rather than only the 15% of companies covered under this proposal, and to ensure that there is a full breakdown of the data in each country where a multinational operates.
“Fine Gael on the other hand voted in favour of amendments to introduce a massive loophole that allows giant corporations to claim ‘commercial sensitivity’ in order to avoid public disclosure of how much tax they have paid and where it was paid to. The Parliament was divided between left and right on this issue, and the right unfortunately carried the day by a narrow majority.
“Organisations like Oxfam, Transparency International and others have been scathing of this move by the conservative and liberal groups to introduce this massive loophole, calling it a means for corporations to continue ‘to shroud their affairs in secrecy’.
“Hayes suggests that public disclosure would ‘make business impossible to function in Europe’ is an absurd claim. We already have public country-by-country reporting for the largest banks and extractive industries in the EU, and these industries have not reported any reduction in their competitiveness.
“The fact that Hayes cites three of the biggest corporate tax avoiders in the world – Facebook, Apple and Google – just goes to show he is a chancer.”

From 1-cup coffee makers to 60-cup coffee urns, automatic drip coffee makers to french press coffee makers, we design and expertly engineer our coffee machines to fit your lifestyle and brew a perfect cup of coffee, every time. Some of our coffee innovations include our FlexBrew® coffee makers, designed to let you drink a cup of coffee from a single-serve pack or from coffee grounds, in a single cup or a 12-cup carafe. Our collection of BrewStation® coffee makers ignore the carafe completely and internalize the brewing system, allowing you to pour a fresh cup of coffee with one-hand. Other innovations like easy access filling, programmable settings, and automatic grounds filling make our coffee makers uniquely qualified to improve your every morning.
The OXO On 12-Cup feels high-tech without being high maintenance. It’s beautifully constructed, with silicone gaskets, a stainless steel carafe, and sturdy-feeling plastic. But let’s go ahead and get its biggest downside right out there in the open. Of the 10 machines we tested, it took the longest to brew eight cups of coffee — nearly 15 minutes. It heats its entire reservoir of water to temperature before a drop touches the grounds, and if you’re jonesing for a full pot to start off your day, that wait is going to feel like a lifetime. This was particularly noticeable considering four of the machines we tested brewed the same amount of coffee in less than half that time. The Bunn BTX-B Velocity Brew could do it in three minutes flat.

C1814 | Control
A new development, originating in the car industry. At low temperatures, tires lose grip and flexibility. The rubber gets harder and does not mould to the road so well. The compound used in the new CST Control has a different composition. At cold temperatures, the rubber composite stays more supple and the tire retains a better grip. A special tread surface has also been developed for these tires to produce enhanced road contact.

In history, this is where Congress steps in. During the Vietnam War, Watergate and the Iran-contra scandal, when a president’s actions or policies crossed the line, Congress investigated and held the White House to account. The time has come for it to do so again.
In the last week alone, Americans have witnessed the firing of President Trump’s national security adviser, Michael Flynn, and learned with shock and incredulity that members of Mr. Trump’s campaign and inner circle were in repeated contact with Russian intelligence officials.
Coming on top of credible information from America’s intelligence agencies that Russia tried to destabilize and influence the 2016 presidential campaign, these latest revelations are more than sufficient reason for Congress to investigate what Moscow has been up to and whether people at the highest levels of the United States government have aided and abetted the interests of a nation that has tried to thwart American foreign policy since the Cold War.
Given that context, one might expect Mr. Trump to be clamoring for details that would eliminate any suspicion that his administration is in league with an enemy. Instead he has waged an unhinged attack on the intelligence agencies themselves, praising President Vladimir Putin of Russia at every turn and pointing fingers everywhere but at himself, while refusing to take a single step to resolve questions about his administration’s ties to Russia.
Hence the urgent need for high-level congressional intervention. The ideal vehicle would be an investigative committee of senior senators from both parties as well as members of the House. Some Senate Republicans are beginning to step up. Senator Richard Burr, chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, has already said his committee will investigate the election hacking. Chuck Grassley, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, and Dianne Feinstein, the panel’s top-ranking Democrat, are asking for a briefing and transcripts of Mr. Flynn’s calls to the Russian ambassador.
Senators John McCain, Lindsey Graham and Pat Roberts favor a broader investigation. John Cornyn, the Senate majority whip, has also raised the possibility of an investigation by Senate committees with jurisdiction over the intelligence community.
The Democrats would obviously be on board — Chuck Schumer, the Senate Democratic leader, has also called for the Senate Intelligence Committee to lead a bipartisan inquiry. The person who needs to make this happen is Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader. Whatever form the committee takes, as Mr. Schumer said on Wednesday, all members must be granted equal access to “intelligence officials, transcripts and documents that they need to answer critical questions, and they must be permitted to make their findings public to the maximum extent possible.”
Admittedly, this is hoping for a lot from a Republican leadership whose natural inclination is to protect the president. This week, for instance, congressional Republicans closed off one avenue to forcing the release of Mr. Trump’s tax returns, which he has refused to divulge and which could help prove to Americans that he is not indebted to Russian financial entities. (It bears repeating, in this regard, that Mr. Trump didn’t fire Mr. Flynn this week for chummily discussing American sanctions on Russia with Moscow’s ambassador, or for lying about it. Mr. Trump knew all that for weeks. He fired Mr. Flynn after both of them got caught.)
With or without the administration’s cooperation, Congress’s plain and urgent duty, lest it be judged complicit, is to get to the bottom of this crisis.


Karachi: Mehar Bukhari, the controversial hostess of Dunya TV news channel, is among those faces made their debut in the electronic media in the past one decade and gradually attained reputation as an outspoken and an influential anchorperson in the national political scenario.
Without any prior experience of journalism, Bukhari was become the part of launching team of Samaa TV in 2007 and manipulated public opinion on the social and political issues of the country through her talk shows.
She became anchorperson of the program “Nai Rahei”, which highlighted the issues of the women in urban and rural areas initially. Later on the focused of program was shifted on issues of Pakistan’s society and its problems.
Mehar came in the limelight when a fake footage in her program in which Tribal areas Taliban lashed out a young girl publicly on the pretext of illicit relationship with a man.
The program gained reputation with obvious high rating and become leading topic of every TV channel and newspaper.
Though the video provided by Samar Minallah was later declared as faked by the court of law since there was no such incident reported by police however its impacts were widespread at the time it was raised.
Mehar Bukhari was later made the hostess of political show “News Beat” in which she appeared to be more blatant and confident interviewing top political leaders of the country on different topics.
She conducted many successful live shows and attained viewers’ attentions in few months as credible and brave anchorperson.
In 2010, her photos with CIA official in US Embassy were surfaced on internet and social media that caused dent to her credibility first time as her fans were heart-broken with her gestures shown in the snaps.
Though there were other female anchorpersons belonging to different news channels seen in the photos but Bukhari can be seen more frankly with male US officials, which is unacceptable in our society and raised many questions on her partiality as media person.
In the same year in August, a video footage of Mehar Bukhari was uploaded and shared widely on Youtube and Facebook in which she looked to be very close to the federal ministers (Qamar uz Zama Kaira and Raja Pervaiz Ashraf) who had been criticized in her show.
Fatwa on Salman Taseer
In 2011, she telecasted fatwa of a local scholar on the killing of slain Salman Taseer that invited harsh criticism and reactions from liberal scholars on the content of her show.
She lost her job in Samaa TV after Mr Taseer was assassinated.
Crossfire at Dunya News
Mehar Bukhari joined Dunay TV in May 2011 against handsome salary of more than one million rupees. She started conducted her show “Crossfire” after couple of months and continued to hold talk shows on national political issues to play a vital role in making public opinion through leading news channel.
Marriage with Kashif Abbasi
She came in the limelight again in November 2011 when she got married with Kashif Abbasi, a senior anchor of ARY News Channel. Her husband is considered though a decent anchor but he could not influence her professional career positively as she continued to carry out controversial programs.
Dunya Leaks Scandal
And now in June 2012, she has been exposed by a leaked video conducting a “planted show” for manipulation of public opinion in the favor of Malik Riaz, a real estate tycoon.
The show not only created mess in Dunya News and media industry but also grabbed the attention of supreme judiciary of the country, which ordered an inquiry of the program after a day.
The co-host of the program, Mubashir Lucman, was suspended by Dunya News management but her fate has yet to be decided.
Bukhari though tried in vain to explain about the content of the program at her show but she has lost a majority of her fans and viewers who got surprised and enraged to watch her gestures and conversations in the off-air time of talk shows.
In the span five years, the career of Mehar Bukhari was full with successes, controversies and scandals. Now the viewers of the TV channels will decide whether her show should be watched or not.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (KABC) -- People were celebrating all over the country for Juneteenth and it was no different in Inglewood, where local residents came together to organize a Juneteenth parade.
With COVID-19 restrictions still in place, event organizers wanted to curate an experience where the community could still be together, but appropriately apart. That's how the concept of the "drive thru" parade came to life.
Born and raised in Inglewood, Stephanye White said the parade symbolized many things.
"We're actually doing a parade for Juneteenth to celebrate our freedom. And we're doing it in Los Angeles," White said. "Los Angeles has been through a lot. We have been through riots. We have been through a lot of justice. So, now we are coming together to fight and we are coming to celebrate."
Kevin Croom came from Long Beach and said it was great to see something peaceful.
"Wonderful scene. It lets me know that black folk can come together," Croom said. "You see there's no problems out here whatsoever, nice and peaceful out here."
Los Angeles business owner Otis Alexander who is originally from Texas said his family has been celebrating Juneteenth for years, and that watching the parade was beautiful.
"My parents and my grandmother use to celebrate it and they still do to this day," Alexander said. "I think this is one of the most miraculous things I've seen in such a long time."
Today's celebration brought people out from all across Los Angeles County and beyond. The parade started in Inglewood, worked its way to View Park, Windsor Hills, to the Crenshaw District and ended at Leimert Park.

The Human Impacts Institute (Hii) went to the province of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa, for December 2010 and January 2011 to pilot its international grassroots support program. Working with a local women’s land rights organization, Hii piloted its newest partnership program, which pairs enterprising youth with grassroots environmental groups in-need of capacity development, research, and temporary staffing.
Hii staff worked with the local organization to: develop their website; increase local partnerships for programming; develop an internship and hiring program; begin a local environmental justice program; and train staff and volunteers on issues of sustainable development, gender and human rights; among other things. In addition to this, Hii worked with local staff to streamline the office environment in order to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization. Additionally, during 2010-2011 Hii selected and co-managed nine student volunteers (6 international and 3 local), who provided free research consulting and organizational capacity development services to the local organization. Hii also worked with local staff to document the stories of over 100 rural women to use for participatory policymaking, including the international climate change negotiations (COP 17) coming to South Africa in 2011.
A successful pilot in grassroots support and collaborative partnerships, Hii is looking forward to continuing this pilot grassroots support program with other international partners in the near future.
Thanks to support from Ecojot, UPS, and Webster University, Leiden, for making this pilot program possible!

Popular Foods in China
There is a good chance that the cuisine in China will be quite different from what you are accustomed to...
The vast majority of visitors to China from other nations claim to have been utterly astounded by the quality of the Chinese food that is on offer across the country.
They were frequent diners at Chinese restaurants in the areas in which they resided, but when they traveled to China, they were surprised to find that some dishes, such as beef with broccoli and mushu pork, were not available to order. This is because Chinese restaurants in the West cater to the tastes of American customers, who make up the majority of their customer base.

Prepare to have your appetite whetted by some of the most exquisite dishes that the Chinese culinary tradition has to offer.

You are able to get them in such a wide range of tastes and designs, so it is certain that you will find one that sticks out as being your absolute favorite.
If you're looking for a way to satiate your appetite while in China, one of the many delectable noodle dishes that the country has to offer is an excellent choice.

Hot Pot This is a meal that may also be enjoyed as a kind of recreation in one's spare time. In addition to the platters of raw meat and vegetables that will be placed in front of you on the table, there will also be a large kettle of boiling water.

Buns made by steaming them with a variety of fillings.

Natural Balance Wellness
Natural Balance Wellness, a multidisciplinary medical center that focuses on precision functional medicine, was established in 2008. They are nationally known for their novel, genetic-based approach to complex illness and preventive-wellness medicine for adults and children.
They treat the root cause of disease rather than just the symptom, using medical, genetic, neurological, lifestyle, emotional and dietary assessments, combined with an array of unique diagnostic tools to develop a custom treatment plan for each individual. An unhealthy accumulation of heavy metals can disrupt the body’s homeostasis and cause a variety of symptoms, and there is evidence that heavy metals may contribute to autoimmune diseases.
Testing for toxins and heavy metals such as mercury in the body that often correlate with debilitating fatigue, brain fog, depression, autism spectrum disorder, autoimmunity and a multitude of other functional symptoms and/or clinical conditions allows their doctors to identify and measure cellular stress and provides a rationale to treat and mitigate the consequences of toxic exposures. The tests used to identify fat-soluble toxins, such as pesticides and plastics for example, are different.

When Kish and I walked to Franklinton on Sunday, we crossed the Scioto River on the Town Street bridge. Just after the midpoint of the bridge we found this life-sized metal sculpture of a fully antlered buck standing upright at the railing of the bridge, facing north.
It’s a fine rendition of a deer. But the sculpture raises so many questions that it’s almost a mystery worthy of Sherlock Holmes. Why is there a sculpture of a deer standing on its hind legs on a downtown bridge in Columbus, Ohio?
Is the deer just enjoying a nice view of the Columbus skyline and the Scioto River in its new channel? Or is the trophy buck using the vantage point of the bridge to scan for hunters or predators? On the darker side, could the deer be depressed and preparing to jump? Is there some deep significance to the fact that the deer is facing north, or that it is a stag rather than a doe? For that matter, why a deer at all? I can’t think of any special connection between Ohio’s capital city and deer. If a wolverine were preparing to hurl itself into oblivion at the sight of Columbus, in contrast, it would be understandable.
Experts will tell you that a good test of public art is whether it provokes thought and discussion. By that standard, the curious case of the deer on the bridge is a great success. And for that same reason, I’m not going to even try to scan the internet for an explanation. I’m just going to leave it a mystery.

Science-based intensive agriculture: Sustainability, food security, and the role of technology
Lafitte, H. Renee
Sustainable agriculture describes crop management approaches that address the interdependent goals of increasing or at least maintaining yield while protecting the environment, conserving natural resources, and slowing climate change. Numerous authors have espoused limiting synthetic fertilizer and pesticides and promoting organic agriculture (Lechenet et al., 2014; Martinez-Alcantara et al., 2016; Muller at al. 2017), less meat consumption (West et al., 2014; Poore and Nemecek, 2018; Springmann et al., 2018), or combinations of these strategies as viable solutions to achieve those goals, thereby improving agricultural sustainability.

For Cassidy Boulan, the pandemic was a time to walk. Stuck inside for so long, she stepped outside each day to find some fresh air and make her way through Philadelphia on foot.
Her walks began near Washington Square, one of the five public squares designed as cornerstones of the city. She would then wend her way north to dip into some of the green spaces behind Independence Hall, admiring the architecture and the relative quiet she found there. By the time she looped back home, she had experienced several of Philadelphia’s most cherished parks and gardens, along with key parts of its history, all in a matter of blocks.
A few years later, she has maintained the routine. It reminds her that walkability is one of Philadelphia’s most charming traits.
“I often think, where could I move where I would have the same level of convenience or ability to be carless — the ability to access so much,” says Boulan, associate manager of the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission’s Office of Transit, Bicycle and Pedestrian Planning. The city’s walkability, she says, is “a rare gem, and I think there are lots of reasons to invest in it.”
With its reliable grid, short blocks, narrow street crossings, dense development and flat topography, Philadelphia — or, at least, a significant portion of it — is in many ways an ideal city for walking. It regularly ranks in the top 10 American cities for Walk Score, as well as for the share of its residents who walk to work. As Boulan points out, a sprawling concrete purgatory like Phoenix couldn’t dream of accomplishing with its best efforts what Philadelphia takes for granted.
But that doesn’t mean there’s no room for improvement.
Construction regularly interrupts footpaths across the city. Illegally parked cars block intersections and wheelchair ramps. Insufficient sight lines and reckless drivers can make crossing the street feel hazardous. Aging infrastructure leads to cracked and crumbling sidewalks that create impositions, especially for those in wheelchairs.
If Philadelphia wants to retain its reputation as a place where a walk can carry anyone anywhere, the city must find answers to a series of questions without simple solutions.
“We’re a very lucky city to have this kind of built environment, to have this history, to be a legacy city that enables us to be so walkable,” Jen Dougherty, the chair of pedestrian advocacy group Feet First Philly, says. “We need to preserve that and be really mindful about new development and what it does to the walking environment, and also maintain the built environment we already have.”
Room for Repair
For Kelley Yemen, Philadelphia’s tightly knit grid is what makes it special. A pedestrian can take any number of routes to their destination, passing along a variety of streets along the way, “from larger grand boulevards like the [Benjamin Franklin] Parkway to itty-bitty baby streets that are so charming and give you a little hug in between neighborhoods,” she says.
Yemen is the director of Philadelphia’s Complete Streets initiative, which aims to make the city’s streets safe, sustainable and pedestrian-friendly. For a long time in the mid-20th century, she says, streets were considered a place for cars only. Her work is part of a broader effort to reclaim streets and sidewalks as the domain of not just cars, but also pedestrians, bicyclists and transit users. In that effort, Philadelphia faces a foe that is somewhat unique in the United States.
“One of Philadelphia’s challenges is also what makes it charming: It’s an old city,” Yemen says. “And with that comes a lot of aging infrastructure in need of upgrades.”
With that in mind, Boulan and her colleagues at the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission designed a pedestrian portal that serves as a data-based view of the city’s sidewalk inventory, offering a view of where gaps exist and a vision for how they might be fixed. The long-term goal is to get 25% of sidewalk gaps filled, she says. But in many cases the culprit that cuts short a pleasant walk is a broken sidewalk that falls at the feet of private property owners to repair. And in America’s poorest large city, that presents issues for both equity and walkability.
“We would never say to a property owner, ‘The pothole in the middle of the street is your responsibility,’ but somehow the sidewalk is,” Dougherty says. “Walking is the responsibility of private property owners but biking and driving are not. It’s a little confounding.”
Dougherty and others suggest a dedicated city fund for sidewalk repairs as a step in the right direction. Even repaired sidewalks, though, don’t do much for pedestrians when construction forces them to find a new path or — as happens too often in Philadelphia — steers them into the street as a bypass.
Feet First Philly has worked on legislation to improve the pedestrian environment during construction projects that overtake the sidewalk, but it hasn’t had the intended impact, Dougherty says. And thanks to an unbalanced incentive system and an understaffed Department of Licenses and Inspections, she says, smaller projects often obstruct sidewalks without permits while larger projects accept any fines they receive as the cost of doing business. Advocates want sidewalk disruption legislation that encourages developers to do the right thing and gives the city’s enforcers teeth.
“If you have full mobility it’s more of an annoyance, but if you’re in a wheelchair or have some sort of mobility device it can be dangerous,” Boulan says. “Other cities have found ways around this. It does not seem insurmountable.”
Nicole Brunet, policy director for the Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia, thinks of those pedestrians waylaid by construction or broken sidewalks as “vulnerable users” — people moving through the city without the built-in protection of a car. In the interest of improving their safety, the coalition recently released its Better Mobility Platform, whose primary goal is the creation of a Department of Transportation that would cleave issues like these from their cohabitation with the city’s sanitation concerns within the Department of Streets.
“We’re one of the largest cities in the country and [the Office of Transportation, Infrastructure and Sustainability] has to fight for having on-time trash pickup or meeting the bare minimum of paving each year,” Brunet says. “By creating our own Department of Transportation, we could raise the priority of basic city services.”
You don’t feel safe. You have to weave your way in and out of cars and stare down the car coming at you or apologize for being there.”
— Jen Dougherty, Feet First Philly
The Question of Cars
Philadelphia is full of beautiful blocks to walk down, and daily amenities are just a short trip away for many of the city’s residents. But even the shortest walks require crossing through an intersection — and street corners can get stressful quickly.
“You don’t feel safe. You have to weave your way in and out of cars and stare down the car coming at you or apologize for being there,” Dougherty says, noting that freewheeling right-hand turns seem to have increased significantly since the pandemic loosened the way people drive.
Among the ways that Philadelphia’s next mayor could make the city more pedestrian-friendly, removing parked cars from crosswalks is one of the simplest, Boulan says. Pennsylvania law requires cars to park 20 feet away from intersections, but in much of the city even five feet would be an improvement. Washington, D.C., is among a group of cities that have begun to use “daylighting” to remove cars from corners using paint, bollards or other delineators to protect pedestrian sight lines, Brunet says.
Feet First Philly, meanwhile, has used its Not a Parking Spot initiative to highlight the severity of Philadelphia’s illegal parking issues and the danger they create for pedestrians.
“We’ve really degraded the ability to walk around a neighborhood or community that otherwise would be very walkable because we’ve prioritized private property car storage over walkability of a community,” Dougherty says.
The city won’t be able to build its way out of parking demand, she says. Instead, it must find ways to reduce the number of cars on its streets and encourage more people to use other modes of transportation. The benefits for walkability would be immense.
The things that are going to be the best for our planet at the end of the day are the simplest: walking, biking and being close to each other.”
— Nicole Brunet, Bicycle Coalition of Greater Philadelphia
In a city with constant budget woes, new funding will be necessary to find fixes for the issues that keep Philadelphia from being its walkable best. To that end, two recent grants show the potential for progress.
A $25-million federal RAISE (Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity) grant will fund a traffic safety project that will make improvements around six North Philadelphia schools in high-injury traffic corridors. And a $30-million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation will bring raised medians, pedestrian refuge islands, traffic signal improvements and more traffic calming methods to sections of North Broad Street and Cecil B. Moore Avenue around Temple University’s campus.
Similar projects throughout the city — and perhaps a few wholesale changes at City Hall — could help protect pedestrians and preserve the sanctity of a stroll around town.
“To be a pedestrian anywhere is to experience a city at its most fine-grained, in its most detailed form, and Philadelphia has the best fine-grained network, whether it’s the intricacy and architecture of the buildings or our street network and the choices you have in it,” Yemen says. “We have work to do to improve parking, the quality of our sidewalks and our crossings, but we’re so lucky that unlike many other cities we have such an amazing base to build off of.”
With climate change altering the course of our daily lives, building a more walkable city would also reduce emissions and begin the work of undoing the damage, Brunet says. It may not be the most exciting idea for those in power, but it’s no less meaningful because of that.
“The things that are going to be the best for our planet at the end of the day are the simplest,” Brunet says. “Walking, biking and being close to each other.”

Challenges in Front of LiDAR Technology
What is LiDAR?
Light detection and ranging, better known as LiDAR, is a technology used to detect and range objects in a space. A LiDAR system creates a three-dimensional model of any environment using reflection lasers to measure the distance of objects. In this way, it is very similar to radar technology, the only difference being the use of lasers instead of radio waves.
LiDAR is used in various applications where accurate detection or ranging of objects is required. It can have a resolution of a few centimeters at a distance of 100m which is significantly better than the several meters of radars. LiDAR’s accuracy makes it the preferred choice for altimetry, contour mapping, scanning for AR experiences like the new iPhone, and various other applications.
Today, the main application of LiDAR is in vehicles for ADAS and autonomous driving functions. The race to create a low-cost LiDAR system that provides safe autonomous driving capabilities is happening as you read this. However, the technology has some issues to deal with and competing technology to overcome before it emerges as the winner. Let’s look at the main challenges facing LiDAR.
1. The Range
LiDAR manufacturers claim the technology has a range of 100m and even 200m in some cases. These statements can be misleading, as scope can be defined in different ways. A LiDAR system may not be as accurate at detecting objects at a greater distance in real-life situations, even if it can detect a presence.
For example, suppose a self-driving car with a LiDAR is moving along a road. A dark object at 100m may not be detected in its entirety due to reflectivity and the LiDAR may be unable to create an accurate 3D map from point clouds of reflected laser beams. The same applies to the case when a bright object is too close to the vehicle and a dark object is further away. These cases call into question the claimed ranges of LiDAR devices.
The range issue must be verified by testing in real conditions. The range question is less about specific situations and more about the limitations of LiDAR in various cases. Manufacturers and researchers need to find a general solution for this problem to ensure the accuracy of the system.
2. Security concerns in Edge cases
As mentioned above, the issue of LiDAR accuracy under certain conditions can be significant if it affects safety. In conditions such as fog, rain, snow and bright sun behind a white object, autonomous vehicles of all types face detection issues. This can be dangerous and even fatal in the worst case scenario.
Weather conditions can obstruct LiDAR laser beams to cause similar problems. Fog and rain are known to limit the use of LiDAR due to limited penetration and reflection of laser beams under these conditions. Whether it is the weather or some object carried by the wind, the environment mapped by LiDAR becomes erroneous and the information can be misleading.
The inability to differentiate between a weather phenomenon or everyday objects and a vehicle on the road, could be a deal breaker for the autonomous car industry. However, this problem is already being worked on with high power lasers and better algorithms that can use the available data under these conditions to get the best results.
3. The cost
Another major problem with LiDAR is its higher cost. Although costs have dropped rapidly over the years, a LiDAR system is still significantly more expensive than the alternative camera vision system. LiDAR still costs about $500 each, while eight cameras in a Tesla cost less than $100. In a competitive market with low margins, it can make a big difference.
The cost of a LiDAR will continue to come down based on what we’ve seen over the years. In 2015, a LiDAR unit used to cost $75,000. Although cost reduction slows after a certain point, with its greater accuracy, LiDAR could soon enter a competitive range against cameras.
Common LiDAR devices are electromechanical systems with multiple moving parts. These systems tend to be less reliable and may see more errors and breakdowns. Add to that the working conditions of the vehicles where they go through dirt, water, vibrations and all kinds of real world conditions and you have an important system that may not last very long before it fails.
Creating reliable LiDAR is possible by reducing moving parts. This being an engineering problem, it can be solved with better designs. Some solid-state LiDAR systems have been created that could also become the ultimate solution to this long-term problem.
LiDAR is a promising technology for autonomous vehicles. With the resources invested in research and development by car and laser manufacturers, it has great potential to find solutions to all challenges. LiDAR accuracy can make self-driving cars safer and bring the future closer to all self-driving tech enthusiasts. If you’re one of those, keep an eye on the LIDAR space as it’s only going to get better.

The city of Denham Springs is one of the hardest-hit areas of Southern Louisiana.

The current flooding in Louisiana is devastating and causing untold destruction and heartache. The statement below comes from John Hebert, State Director of Missions for Louisiana Baptists:
By now I’m sure you have heard about the disastrous flooding we have had in Louisiana due to the low pressure system that just sat on South Louisiana and poured out over 2’ of rain in some places and 18-22” in most. I flew over the area last evening and you simply can’t imagine what 50,000 flooded homes look like (and you don’t want to either). But, that’s what we have here. The flooding runs across almost half of the southern part of the state...
With such a great number of people in need, we have been contacted by many Ohioans and SCBO churches to find out how to help. The link below will give you all the details, but the two main needs are prayer and financial donations.
The relief effort is immense and will require many volunteers and many supplies. We have found time and time again that the most practical and efficient way to help is to provide much needed funds to the people who already have their feet on the ground in the disaster area - that's the Lousiana Baptists and their Disaster Relief teams.
If you are looking to volunteer, please contact the Louisiana Baptists to see where you can help. You may also want to consider connecting with Ohio Disaster Relief to be trained and ready when disasters strike in the future.

Joseph Tkach recently announced a change in the oversight of GCI churches in Mexico. Until recently, this oversight was provided by Hector Barrero who is director for GCI in Colombia and mission developer in Latin America. The new superintendent of GCI churches in Mexico is Lorenzo Arroyo, who will add this assignment to his work as a member of the U.S. Church and Development team led by Dan Rogers.
The reason for this change is two-fold: first because of close family connections between Hispanic GCI members in Mexico and the U.S., and second because of the relative ease of travel between the two countries.
Lorenzo, who is fluent in both English and Spanish, formerly supervised the eight Spanish-speaking GCI churches located within the U.S. (those churches are now overseen by Heber Ticas who is a GCI district pastor, pastor and church planter).

'Funding cut will not hike waiting lists'
[Posted: Thu 13/09/2012 www.irishhealth.com]
The Department of Health has said a planned cut of €10 million in the fund targeted at cutting waiting lists will not slow down progress in cutting these lists.
The Department is transferring €10 million from the National Treatment Purchase Fund (NTPF) budget to help ease the HSE's €259 million deficit.
NTPF funding is currently being used by the Department's Special Delivery Unit to cut waits for treatment, ED overcrowding, outpatient lists and endoscopy/colonoscopy waits.
Asked if this reduction would lead to waiting lists increasing again, a spokesperson said 'at the present time', it was not anticipated that the transfer of this funding from the NTPF would have any adverse impact on waiting lists.
"The SDU and NTPF have always adopted a patient-first approach, and will aim to identify savings in other work activities to ensure that access targets are achieved," the spokesperson said.

A noted hard worker, media mogul, and rapper with unlimited prowess, Drake’s fans are accustomed to being treated with behind-the-scenes looks into the rapper’s life whether it’s shots of him in the studio, traveling, or performing. Earlier this week, fans got a little something more.
On Tuesday the rapper uploaded a shot of himself in the studio with labelmate Baka Not Nice working on new music. Baka, a longtime friend and former bodyguard of Drake who served 13 years in prison, was signed to Drake’s label OVO Sound in June. Instead of speculating on potential music that may be in the works, fans and followers were quick to point out a huge portrait of Queen B herself hanging on the left side of the wall.
Forget the music. It’s Beyoncé. The Queen herself is boasting a radiant, sunny smile as the musicians crowd around a desktop computer, and Drake appears to be mixing some audio.
The three-time Grammy winner is always in the headlines for one thing or another, and his choice of interior artwork doesn’t disappoint. The last time Beyoncé and Drake made headlines together was for their collaborations “Mine” released in 2013 and “Girls Love Beyoncé” in 2014.

In his Grammy bio, Drake states: “I just want to be remembered as somebody who was himself, not a product.” You’re doing well, Champagne Papi.

Led Zeppelin Accused of Plagiarizing the Intro to "Stairway to Heaven"
A lawyer representing Spirit guitarist Randy California is claiming that Led Zeppelin (pictured left) stole the intro of 1971's "Stairway to Heaven" from Spirit's 1968 song "Taurus." Both songs can be heard below.
Attorney Francis Alexander Molofiy wants to stop the release of the reissue of Led Zeppelin IV. Molofiy said in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek, "The idea behind this is to make sure that Randy California is given a writing credit on 'Stairway to Heaven.' It's been a long time coming."
Led Zeppelin is reissuing their first three albums--Led Zeppelin I, Led Zeppelin II and Led Zeppelin III--on June 3.
Spirit and California's family have waited until now to challenge Led Zeppelin because they couldn't afford to pay attorneys earlier.
Both bands played shows together in 1968 and 1969.
