DirectX is a suite that contains multimedia technologies for Windows graphics components. It is the main requirement to play games on your Windows-operated device. You cannot play a game without the right version of DirectX installed. While launching a computer game on a Windows-operated device without the right version of DirectX installed, you may face various issues. The error message, ‘Your Graphics Card Does Not Support DirectX 11 Features’, may trigger for the same reason. This guide will discuss the reasons and solutions for this error message on your device.
What are the Reasons Your Graphics Card Does Not Support DirectX 11 Features Error Message?
Like the other error message, the unsupported DirectX 11 features error message can be triggered for various reasons. Examining these reasons will help you to fix the error message. Have a sight of the reasons that cause the error message;
Some minor issues can lead to a disturbing error message. The device or the application has the capability to fix minor issues mechanically. Minor issues can be fixed by simply restarting the application or the device.
The outdated patch may prevent you from running the game and dumping you towards error messages like GPU does not support DirectX 11 features. In this scenario, updating the game patch could help you to resolve the error message.

A new article entitled RASA1 mosaic mutations in patients with capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation has recently been published in the Journal of Medical Genetics. It is co-authored by members of the VASCERN Vascular Anomalies Working Group (VASCA WG) including Prof. Miikka Vikkula, Prof. Laurence Boon, Prof. Alan Irvine and Dr. Veronika Dvorakova.
Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM) is a rare disorder that is caused by loss-of-function mutations in the RAS1 or EPHB4 genes. However, in approximately 25% of patients a germline mutation in one of these genes is not found. In this paper, four distinct mosaic RAS1 mutations are identified in four patients with a classical phenotype of capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation, showing that these types of mutations can also cause CM-AVM. Mosaic mutations refer to mutations that are present in only some cells in the body, meaning that some cells carry the mutation, but others do not. Thus, highly sensitive sequencing techniques should be considered in the diagnosis of this disorder, especially in cases where a family history is absent. These findings also have an impact on the genetic counseling of CM-AVM.

On Sunday the 21st September 2014, The Andrew Simpson Sailing Centre at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy hosted Bart’s Bash. This sailing race joined together over 10,000 sailors from approximately 725 sailing clubs worldwide. The race itself aimed to set a new Guinness World Record, raise money for charity, inspire the next generation of sailors and to remember Andrew ‘Bart’ Simpson, Gold and Silver Olympic medalist and America’s Cup sailor.
Saturday saw many of us at the ASSC (Andrew Simpson Sailing Centre) working to make sure everything was set up on time. All of the boats were lined up and checked to confirm that they were ready for the families and people taking part the following day. Towards the end of the afternoon, I met with Olympians Iain Percy and Paul Goodison and photographed them preparing one of their own boats for the race on Sunday.
The day of the race saw the wind speed pick up from 4 knots on Saturday to a much more reassuring 18 knots on Sunday morning. Despite the centre being very organised in preparation for the race, the big job of signing everyone in delayed the race by an hour and gave everyone that little bit more time to clarify and make final checks.
I was originally going to be given my own RIB for the day in which I could position myself where ever needed (the advantage of being a sailing instructor for the centre). However, due to the fact I was required to not only photograph the event for the press releases and for the Andrew Simpson Foundation itself, I was also needed to film the start and finish of each of the three races for the Guinness World Record. All of these responsibilities meant that I would require a driver so that I wouldn’t have to anchor up on the start line for every race. It was later decided I would be located on the committee boat, which was a far more comfortable yacht and large enough to walk around to position myself for the best shot. It also had a spacious cabin below deck which would make it much easier for me to edit my images between each race.
Before leaving for the committee boat I was phoned and asked to take a few photos of Iain Percy and Freddie being interviewed before the big race.
I brought with me a 5D Mkii and a 60D (for the differing crop factors to double my lenses’ focal lengths), a selection of lenses and a Fuji X100S for the basic filming needed and as a spare compact. This was also the first opportunity I had to test my new Surface Pro 3 out on a job, and a job which should be ideal for it.
Keeping the equipment to a minimum, all of this kit fitted into a single, small (Retrospective 7) shoulder bag.
I had one of the witnesses/volunteers on the committee boat film for me while I photographed the race starts. The start of race one was quite a sight as boats eased their way to the start line, keeping their sails depowered until ready. Then when the signal was given, a line of boats pulled quickly upwind as they came past the stern of the committee boat and along our port side – perfect for photographs.
Once race one was completed I headed below deck to download the photos to the Surface. I quickly passed them through Lightroom for a quick edit and to resize them for upload. Tethering the Surface to my phone, I sent a few of the better shots back to the Academy to the press team who were waiting for me and would forward them on for the press releases – which to my knowledge were published on the BBC, Sail World, and Practical Boat Owner sites soon afterwards. The Surface was a pleasure to work on and so far seems like a photographer’s dream device. (Note: I shall possibly write a full review of the Surface Pro 3 from a photographer’s point of view at a later date and after more experience. This is mainly because there wasn’t many reviews for the device when I was researching it from people who use it in the way I do – Photography, editing, sketching, music recording and the like. I thought this was strange as this seems to be the niche audience that the Surface is completely ideal for.)
Between each race I had time to upload, back up and make a quick edit of the images, easing the work load once back on land. I shot an email over to the photo agency I was working with as we made our way back to inform them of the arrival of the images shortly. Once I had returned, I pulled up a seat in the office and made some final touches before exporting in full resolution and uploading them to the agency – something that needed a full wifi connection rather than a tethered phone connection.
Raising over £200, 000 for the Foundation and breaking a Guinness World Record, the day was a huge success, if quite a hectic one. Not only was the turnout impressive at the ASSC, but according to the event manager Tim Anderton, “So many clubs have emailed us to say that Bart’s Bash transformed their club and they got two or three times the typical turnout they would expect for a club race.”
Richard Percy, CEO of the Andrew Simpson Sailing Foundation, said “The turnout on September 21st exceeded our expectations and we are very happy that we provided a truly global opportunity for people to come together and enjoy sailing. We hope this event will become a regular feature in the global sailing calendar.”

Cozy up to the counter at The Onion Bar and Grill on an ice-cold evening, ask the lead bartender for a winter warmer, and he’ll probably recommend two particular cups of holiday cheer: one with coffee, one with cocoa, both with a little kick.
The Oatmeal Cookie – a mix of butterscotch schnapps, Baileys Irish Cream, Jägermeister, Goldschläger and hot cocoa topped with whipped cream and cinnamon – is rich, decadent and one of the downtown restaurant’s most popular holiday drinks.
The Chata Coffee, invented in-house about a month ago, is a concoction of Kahlua, crème de cacao, Chata Rum, coffee, whipped cream and chocolate drizzle.
Both, said Nate Laird, “are gonna warm your bones.”
“They taste like all the holidays,” he said, “Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Eve.”
Holiday cocktails basically fall into two camps: winter warmers and seasonal refreshers. With festive flavors like crisp cranberry or cool mint and comforting toddies or spiked teas, local lounges offer plenty of options for making spirits bright during the darkest and coldest months of the year.
Here’s a look at just a few.
If you want to celebrate the season in your own home, recipes for many of these drinks can be found online at the Spokesman-Review’s Too Many Cooks blog.
Or, leave it to the professionals and visit to their establishments.
Chill in the air, warmth in your cup
Winter warmers don’t have to be heavy, cream-topped creations. While coffee- and hot cocoa-based beverages tend to be really rich, tea- and cider-based drinks are a little less filling but still pack a punch.
The Two Seven Public House, tucked in a back corner of the Lincoln Heights Shopping Center at 2727 S. Mt. Vernon St., offers a Chilean Toddy featuring Alto del Carmen Pisco, lemon juice and agave nectar in orange spice black tea with orange zest and cayenne.
It has other light but boozy classics, too, such as Blueberry Tea, with amaretto and Grand Marnier in hot black tea with lemon, and a traditional Hot Toddy, with Jack Daniel’s Tennessee Honey Whiskey, fresh lemon juice and hot water.
Impulse Night Club at Northern Quest Resort & Casino at 100 N. Hayford Road in Airway Heights makes its Tea Toddy with a twist: Earl Grey, Bailey’s Irish Cream and Black Velvet Caramel Whisky.
Fireball Cinnamon Whisky is the key ingredient in two popular hot boozy beverages back at The Onion, 302 W. Riverside Ave. in downtown Spokane: Hot Jac’d Apple and Hot Buttered Fireball.
The Winter Sips menu at Butcher Bar, the new lounge at Santé, 404 W. Main Ave. in downtown Spokane, also offers contemporary takes on classic seasonal cocktails. Its five $8 cold-weather offerings were developed by lead bartender Amanda Pankratz, who adapted a Hot Buttered Rum recipe from Diane Hansen, mother of bar owner and chef Jeremy Hansen. It involves no premade mix; spices are blended by hand for each made-to-order mug topped with 1.5 ounces of Amrut Old Port Rum.
“It’s nice after dinner, instead of a dessert, to get a warm cup to hold of something delicious,” said Kate Hansen, who owns the restaurant and bar with her husband.
They press their own Gala apples, grown in Wenatchee, and craft their own clove tincture for their spiked cider, which uses Kirk and Sweeny Rum. Their eggnog is made in-house, by hand, in small batches.
The Hansens aim to use local and organic ingredients in all their offerings. The bar’s bourbon tea, for instance, features honey from Spokane’s Five Mile neighborhood, organic citrus mint tea and edible essential oil.
It won’t just warm you up, Kate Hansen said. “It’s good for you, too, because this essential oil is amazing for your immune system.”
Get spirited away with seasonal refreshers
Its official moniker is Benevolent Spruce. But Kristi Gamble likes the name Blushing Pine better. She developed the crisp cocktail at the request of Spokane’s Dry Fly Distilling for this year’s national tree-lighting ceremony in Washington, D.C.
The tree came from the Colville National Forest, north of Spokane, and the reception featured Washington state specialties, including Dry Fly gin. Gamble, bar manager at Clover, 913 E. Sharp Ave. in Spokane’s Logan Neighborhood, had only a couple of days to create the cocktail, which is available for $9.
“It’s not like you need a secret passcode or anything, but it’s not on our menu,” she said. “You have to ask for it, the tree-lighting drink. It’s kind of like Christmas in a glass.”
Benevolent Spruce features pomegranate juice, Campari, cranberry bitters, allspice liqueur, lemon juice and fresh rosemary.
There’s fresh mint muddled with fresh cranberries and Mount Gay rum in the Winter Mojito at Northern Quest’s Impulse Night Club. And there’s fresh basil in the club’s holiday take on a traditional gimlet. Agave nectar gives the Basil Gimlet a hint of sweetness, balancing Hendrick’s gin and lime juice.
For creamier, cool drinks, try the Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake Martini, combining Stolichnaya Razberi vodka, Baileys Irish Cream and chocolate liqueur. At Masselow’s Lounge, also at Northern Quest, a popular seasonal favorite is the Pumpkin Pie Martini made with Absolut vanilla vodka, Bailey’s Irish Cream, Kahlua and pumpkin liqueur, garnished with ground cinnamon and nutmeg.

Today I’d like to give thanks to all of those I have met along the way, the ones that I remember and those whose faces I have forgot.
I’ve lived and traveled in and to many states. While growing up it was New Jersey and Long Island on the east coast to Illinois in the Midwest and back east to Massachusetts.
In the service I traveled the southern training base route of Louisiana, Texas, Georgia with stopovers in between and overseas.
I’ve lived in Key West and Bull Shoals Arkansas.
I’ve shopped in the stores, stayed and ate in the people’s homes, worked various jobs from garbage collector to salesman in an Hardware & Appliance store, from Recreational Therapist to Meat Cutter. I’ve dined in the restaurants and drank in the bars.
I’ve broken hearts and had my own shattered.
I’ve swum in oceans and fished in lakes, canoed down rivers and thumbed the highways and back roads.
And through it all I’ve met a spectrum of fine and not-so-fine folks.
I’d like to say they were all good in their own ways, but as I’ve learned, some people are just plain rotten and have no visible redeeming qualities. So I won’t be mentioning them in my list of all I’d like to thank.
I’d like to thank the following:
From my days in Long Island, George and Jimmy Kummer (You too Suzy), The Bellos, Kincaids, Gottemers, John Hurley could make me laugh, and all of you I can’t recall but I knew and was a friend with, I hope you are well.
From those glorious teenage days in Crystal Lake, Ill, Hello to- The Dewey family: George, John, Alan, Ann, Margaret and Douglas, Jim Corey, Brad Brohmier, Vicki, Pam, Kim, Diana, Sue and Tara, everyone from Friday and Saturday nights at The Back Door, and again anyone I knew as a friend and can’t recall, those were good days.
For all my Monson friends, Louie, Jim, Billy, Kurt, D.O., Ricky & Debbie, Rodney and Edmond, Oaky, to the memories of Sunday night Monty Python Circus at Marty’s and 15 cent drafts, those days will live forever as great times and I will always be grateful for your friendships.
To my friends from the Army, I wish I knew where you all were. Mr. Chris Brewton of Chicago, remember smoking that good weed when we got back to Polk from Christmas leave and then having to line up to go get hair cuts? I laugh every time I remember that day. Did you ever get your feet fixed? How you passed the physical with those two water skies you had for feet is still beyond me. Cono Badallamenti, Bob Applebee, from up at Devens, I still remember drinking Manishevitz at the quarry the night before you got out Bob, the two sergeants in Korea who realized that I was suppose to be back in the states as a medic and not assigned to an infantry battalion on the DMZ.
I hope you all are well.
And to all those who made a lasting impression where ever we met, Jehre Kopp, Fred Schneider, John and Ruth Schneider, Diane and Linda (Lash), Phil Lovetere, Bill Brown,
Mike Oberly, Timmy Dash, Chris Bracken, Barry Crimmins,Ed"9-Toes"Latka, the wonderful ladies of McCarthy’s who pull a fine draft and treat Deb and I as if we were family and especially my family who have dealt with my extreme personality and quirks for years untold especially my wife and best friend Deb who holds me together when my head feels as if it will explode and to my life time best friend and buddy, My brother John (gosh we have fun!).
To all of you, thank you, mine is a better world for knowing you all.
And oh yes, to my wonderful girl Hailey Blue, whose memory will stay forever in my heart and my new 'old' dog Mr. Bart who learned quickly how easy my heart opens for a good dog and also to old Sandy our first dog as children.
Now I know what some might be thinking, but no, I'm fine and dandy.
I just wanted to say "Thank-you".

“Brain fog” has emerged as one of the most commonly reported symptoms that continues to linger long after recovering from COVID-19. Characterized as a “hazy” feeling of mild confusion, headaches, and short-term memory loss, the cause of this lurking side-effect defied a solid explanation for some time, but a new study in cancer patients argues it has found a likely culprit: inflammatory particles in the liquid surrounding the brain and spinal cord, the cerebrospinal fluid.
As per the new research, reported in the journal Cancer Cell, researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in New York City details 18 cancer patients who were hospitalized with COVID-19 and experienced severe neurologic problems. All the patients were given a range of brain scans, such as MRIs, CTs, and electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring, while 13 of the patients received a spinal tap to obtain a sample of cerebrospinal fluid.
They found that the patients continued to have high levels of cytokines, signaling molecules secreted from immune cells that are involved in inflammation, in their cerebrospinal fluid weeks after their initial infection.
"We found that these patients had persistent inflammation and high levels of cytokines in their cerebrospinal fluid, which explained the symptoms they were having," Dr Jan Remsik, the paper's co-first author, said in a statement.
The researchers note that the patterns of inflammation in cancer patients with COVID-19 are comparable to those seen in non-infected people who have received CAR T cell therapy, a cancer therapy that causes immune cells to pump out cytokines. People with CAR T cell therapy also tend to experience delayed neurological effects, just like some people with COVID-19.
The virus itself, however, was not found in the cerebrospinal fluid and the brain scans did not show anything of much significance. Some theories about brain fog had suggested that the neurological symptoms of COVID-19 were caused by SARS-CoV-2 attacking the brain directly. While there is some evidence the virus can infiltrate the brain in some severely ill patients, this new research suggests that this isn’t necessarily the cause of brain fog in most people.
However, the presence of cytokines in the cerebrospinal fluid does indicate that immune cells are able to cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the central nervous system, which the researchers say could provide some insights into how cancer cells spread to the brain.
"We used to think that the nervous system was an immune-privileged organ, meaning that it didn't have any kind of relationship at all with the immune system. But the more we look, the more we find connections between the two," added Adrienne Boire, study author, and physician-scientist at MSK.
It’s worth considering that cancer patients, in particular, are at heightened risk of severe infections from COVID-19 because of their immunocompromised state and the findings might not necessarily translate to the wider population. Nevertheless, the researchers argue that their findings do shed some light on the wider issue of brain fog and suggest that anti-inflammatory drugs and treatment, such as steroids, may help within the “management of neurologic complications of COVID-19 infection.”

text: Compost is the ultimate fertilizer! It contains virtually all the nutrients a living plant needs and delivers them in a slow-release manner over a period of years. Compost made with a wide variety of ingredients will provide an even more nutritious meal to your growing plants. How it works: Compost serves primarily as a soil conditioner, whether it’s spread in a layer on the soil surface or is dug in. A soil regularly amended with compost is better able to hold air and water, drains more efficiently, and contains a nutrient re-serve that plants can draw on. The amended soil also tends to produce plants with fewer insect and disease problems. The compost encourages a larger population of beneficial soil microorganisms, which control harmful microorganisms. It also fosters healthy plant growth, and healthy plants are better able to resist pests. On the garden: Some people recommend late fall as a good time to spread compost over a garden bed (about 1 inch), and cover it with a winter mulch. If your supply of compost is really limited, consider side-dressing, a way to use compost sparingly by strategically placing it around certain plants or along certain rows. By spring, soil organisms will have worked the compost into the soil. There is really no wrong time to spread it. The benefits remain the same. Around trees: compost mulch can benefit trees and shrubs just as it does other plants. Spread a 1/2” to 1” layer of compost on the bare soil under the tree as far as the drip line. Then cover with a 2-3” layer of some other kind of organic mulch. The mulch will hold the compost in place and keep it from drying out. Fence line weaning Try fence line weaning or two-step weaning to reduce the stress on beef calves when you wean them this year. It could improve the health and performance of the calf. First, place cow-calf pairs in the pasture the calves will be in following weaning so they become familiar with the fences and water sources. Second, upon weaning, place the cows in the pasture adjacent to the calves so they cannot nurse the calves, but can still see, hear and smell each other. This may require some fence modification to keep cows and calves separated. Page wire and electric work well when calves are trained to the electric fence—the key is to maintain separation.

Hamas: We are Not Terrorists; We Just Want to Destroy Israel
Hamas wants be dropped from the U.S. State Department list of Foreign Terrorist Organizations not because it has changed, but because it feels that the world has changed, and that many naïve Westerners are now willing to tolerate its radical ideology and terrorism.
Hamas leaders are working hard these days to have their movement removed from the U.S. State Department list for Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
The Hamas leaders are hoping to persuade a number of European Union countries to support their bid.
Hamas wants to be removed from the list without changing its strategy or charter, which call for jihad [holy war] and which do not recognize Israel's right to exist.
Hamas is also not prepared to dismantle its armed group, Izaddin al-Kassam, as part of its effort to persuade the US and EU to drop it from the list of terrorist groups.
Nor is Hamas prepared to stop smuggling weapons or give up thousands of rockets and mortars that it possesses in various parts of the Gaza Strip.
And of course Hamas is not prepared to renounce violence in the context of its effort to seek legitimacy in the international community.
The Hamas initiative comes at a time when senior officials of the movement, including Khaled Mashaal, continue to talk about their dream of replacing Israel with an Islamic state. In addition, they are continuing to call on Palestinians to abide by the "armed resistance" as the only option for achieving their goal.
Ironically, the Hamas request to be removed from the list of terrorist groups coincides with reports about the Islamist movement's involvement in terror activities in neighboring Egypt.
According to these reports, Hamas was behind the August 2012 killing of 16 Egyptian border guards in Sinai. Hamas has also dispatched thousands of its men to Cairo to protect Muslim Brotherhood President Mohamed Morsi against his political opponents, the reports revealed.
Although Hamas has denied the reports, there are increased signs that the movement is cooperating with other Islamic fundamentalist groups in Sinai to turn the peninsula into a base for jihadists from different parts of the world. Some of these jihadists are believed to be linked to groups that are affiliated with Al-Qaeda.
Hamas claims that it has won the secret backing of a number of EU governments -- a claim denied by the EU.
The Hamas demand was first raised by the movement's prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh, during a meeting with European supporters in the Gaza Strip last month.
Ghazi Hamad a senior Hamas official in the Gaza Strip, says that his movement is putting pressure on several countries to change their position toward his movement. He believes that there has already been a "positive change" in the minds of Western and Arab societies toward Hamas.
It is not clear what Hamas bases its optimism on. But sources close to Hamas revealed that some Arab leaders, including Egypt's Morsi and Qatar's Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani, have promised to work toward convincing the Americans and Europeans to remove Hamas from the list of terrorist organizations.
Both Morsi and al-Thani, according to the sources, have raised the issue with US and EU officials over the past few weeks.
The two Arab leaders have argued that removing Hamas from the lost would actually have a moderating effect on the movement and boost the prospects of peace in the Middle East. They have also claimed -- according to the sources -- that removing Hamas from the list would pave the way for unity between the movement and Fatah.
The Hamas campaign to be removed from the list of terrorist groups also coincides with growing cooperation between the movement and other radical groups in the Gaza Strip, primarily Islamic Jihad.
During the last war in the Gaza Strip, Hamas and Islamic Jihad militiamen formed a joint command to coordinate rocket attacks against Israel. More recently, it was revealed that Fatah's armed wing, Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, also helped Hamas fire rockets at Israel in recent years.
The Americans and most EU countries are opposed to Fatah's efforts to achieve unity with a movement that remains on their list of foreign terrorist organizations.
In private, however, Fatah leaders say they are also opposed to removing Hamas from the list out of fear that such a move would legitimize the movement and pave the way for the creation of a separate state in the Gaza Strip.
Hamas wants to be dropped from the list not because it has changed. Rather, Hamas wants to be removed from the list because it feels that the world has changed, and that many naïve Westerners are now willing to tolerate its radical ideology and terrorism.
Anyone who supports Hamas's bid should also vote in favor of removing Al-Qaeda from the same list.

"No religion condones the killing of innocents." — U.S. President Barack Obama, September 10, 2014.
"Islam is a religion of peace." — U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron, September 13, 2014.
"There is a place for violence in Islam. There is a place for jihad in Islam." — U.K. Imam Anjem Choudary, CBN News, April 5, 2010.
Regrettably it is impossible to re-interpret the Qur'an in a "moderate" manner. The most famous modern interpretation by Sayyid Qutb (d. 1966), the Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, leads the reader again and again into political territory, where jihad is at the root of action.
If they deviated from the true faith -- as we are seeing in the Islamic State today -- "backsliders," like pagans, were to be fought until they either accepted Islam or were killed.
In India alone, between 60 and 80 million Hindus may have been put to death by Muslim armies between the years 1000-1525.

Hamas's long-term ambitions are indistinguishable from those of Islamic State and al-Qaeda.
Hamas will now focus on its next goal -- trying to strengthen its presence in the West Bank and eventually toppling the Palestinian Authority from power there, just as it did in Gaza. If Israel were to withdraw from the West Bank, Hamas would certainly find such a goal easier to accomplish.
Nothing keeps the flames of jihad alight, and Hamas's popularity secure, like frequent wars.

"Arab leaders are a reflection of their people. Arab leaders don't come from Mars or the sun, they emerged from among the people and share the same beliefs... I challenge any Arab citizen who may become a ruler to do anything beyond what current Arab leaders are doing." — Anwar Malek, Algerian author.
If anyone was trying to commit "genocide" during the Gaza War, it was clearly Hamas.
What the protestors in the Netherlands also revealed is that a killed Palestinian is only worth demonstrating for when the blame can be pinned on Israel.
The normalization and common approval of slogans that actually call for the destruction of the entire Jewish State, Israel, contribute to an atmosphere of hatred, violence and anti-Semitism that now seems as acceptable as it is overt.
by Anne Bayefsky
Why couldn't the UN... sponsor a conference on combating global antisemitism?
In theory the UN Charter demands equality of... nations large and small. In reality the UN mass-produces inequality for Jews and the Jewish nation.
The UN has launched a "legal" pogrom against the Jewish state. A "legal" pogrom is a license to kill.
Modern antisemitism targets Israel's exercise of the right of self-defense because self-defense is the essence of sovereignty.

The Boston College Subpoena blog has posted the transcript of a radio interview with Anthony McIntyre, one of the forces behind Project Belfast and one of the unsuccessful intervenors in the proceedings here in Boston aimed at quashing the government’s subpoena to Boston College. The interview addresses one of the questions I’ve long had about the case: who, exactly, promised the interviewees confidentiality, and on what terms?
Here is what McIntyre had to say:
The assurances from Boston College were very firm. In 2000, when the project was first mentioned, I asked specifically, what would be the arrangements? I was told by the Boston College representative, whom I met in Belfast, that under no circumstances would they accept archival material into their library to form part of their archive if there was any possibility, the remotest possibility, of legal repercussions, for those who had donated their interviews. And they were very specific about this. The Loyalist researcher also asked them the same thing. And he was told it was firewalled against any legal incursion from the British.
[Q:] Did you have that in writing? Did you have legal assurances?
[McIntyre:] We had a contract in writing, a Donation Agreement, which was given to the people concerned, the people who were doing the interviews, which explicitly stated that they, at all times, would be in control of the release of the information and only they, and no one else, could release it prior to the death.
And here is Jack Dunn, a spokesman for Boston College:
I think that our good friends in Ireland seem to lack a fundamental understanding of the American legal process. We fought the fight and the fight was lost. And our hope is that the second round of the fight may prove differently. I think what hasn’t been stated here is that when this agreement was reached, an agreement was signed between BC and Ed Moloney that stated that each interviewee is to be given a contract guaranteeing confidentiality to the extent that American law allows. That seems to be forgotten by Mr. McIntyre and Mr. Moloney. That they were told to tell the interviewees that the confidentiality would be given to the extent that American law allows.
[Question:] Why then, in the agreement for donations, or the Donations Agreements, as they are referred to, which were drawn up by Boston College on Boston College headed paper, was that not referred to? I’ll quote what the Agreement for Donations says:
Point Three: access to the tapes and transcripts shall be restricted until after my death except in those cases where I have provided prior written approval for their use following consultation with The Burns Librarian.
At no point in the agreement is US law or any pre-condition or caveat entered.
[Dunn:] The agreement between Moloney and McIntyre is bound by an earlier agreement, Agreement “A”, which states each interviewee is to be given a contract guaranteeing confidentiality to the extent American law allows.
[Question:] Yet Boston College issue a very clear agreement in which it didn’t mention US law or any other caveat.
[Dunn:] That’s not true, I have the agreement, I’m reading from it. Each interviewee is to be given a contract guaranteeing confidentiality to the extent American law allows. And the agreement between Moloney and McIntyre is governed by the earlier agreement, referenced accordingly. We can agree to disagree on that.
What BC Said in Court
Interestingly, in its motion to quash the subpoena, Boston College did not suggest that the promise of confidentiality was a promise only to the extent permitted by American law:
Potential interviewees for the Belfast Project were therefore assured that their identities and the contents of their interviews would be kept confidential and not disclosed until the earlier of their agreement to permit disclosure or their death. McIntyre Affidavit, ¶¶ 6-7. The person who interviewed Dolours Price believed that there were no circumstances under which disclosure would be required, and would not have participated in the Belfast Project if he had thought otherwise. Id., ¶ 8. Dolours Price was expressly informed of this condition and relied upon it in giving her interviews. Id., ¶ 6.
Another interviewee, Brendan Hughes, who received the same commitment, died in 2010. Moloney Affidavit, ¶ 26. The interview materials of Brendan Hughes, which were also sought by the subpoenas to Boston College, have already been produced by Boston College in accordance with the subpoenas because the embargo on access to them ended with his death.
The assurances of confidentiality at the start and during the interview process were subsequently documented when the interviews were concluded. Each interviewee was given a form to donate his or her interview materials to the Burns Library at Boston College on the express condition that the materials would not be disclosed, absent the interviewee’s permission, until after his or her death. O’Neill Affidavit, ¶ 6; McIntyre Affidavit, ¶ 9; Moloney Affidavit,¶ 29.
The caveat does appear, however, in the contract between BC and Ed Moloney, which was an exhibit to McIntyre’s affidavit:
Each interviewee is to be given a contract guaranteeing to the extent American law allows the conditions of the interview and the conditions of its deposit at the Burns Library, including terms of an embargo period if this becomes necessary, as outlined herein.
But the caveat does not appear in the “Agreement for Donation” that the interviewees were given (also attached to McIntyre’s affidavit), which provided simply:
Access to the tapes and transcripts shall be restricted until after my death except in those cases where I have provided prior written approval for their use following consultation with the Burns Librarian, Boston College. Due to the sensitivity of content, the ultimate power ofrelease shall rest with me. After my death the Burns Librarian of Boston College may exercise such power exclusively.
I think we need to distinguish two issues. First, what promises were made to the interviewees; and second, what effect, if any, do those promises have on the government’s subpoena?
On the first question: It seems likely to me that based on the “Agreement for Donation”, the interviewees subjectively believed that the confidentiality of their interviews were guaranteed. I say subjectively, because I do not think it is objectively reasonable for a person to believe that a promise of confidentiality from Boston College could prevent the government from obtaining the materials with a subpoena. The contract with Moloney shows that the College and Maloney were on notice that US law could limit their ability to promise confidentiality; but that awareness did not make it into the agreement that was shown to the interviewees. In hindsight, I think the College (and probably Moloney and McIntyre) wish it had, although if it had, perhaps the interviewees would have been unwilling to participate in the project.
On the second question: For reasons I have given elsewhere, I do not believe that the College’s promise of confidentiality has any effect on the government’s subpoena.

Need For Speed: The Run will take its title all too literally with the new free-running sections.
During the publisher’s E3 press conference, EA announced that Black Box’s next NFS title will see players leaving their cars at certain points in the game for a spot of Parkour-style running.
The new gameplay mechanics were demonstrated during the conference, with the player’s race interrupted by a collision, triggering a race across the rooftops.
Players will also have to sneak behind police cars and take out cops with melee attacks in order to steal their car and continue the race.
Need For Speed The Run is due on November 18th, and will once again feature the popular Autolog feature introduced in last year’s NFS Hot Pursuit.

The likelihood of people being arrested and facing jail time if caught smoking marijuana in Baton Rouge will now depend, in large part, on whether they are inside city limits and which law enforcement agency catches them.
The East Baton Rouge Parish Metro Council on Feb. 28 eliminated jail time as a possible penalty for people convicted of possessing less than 14 grams of marijuana. They also changed local law to direct police to issue a summons to appear in court, rather than an arrest, when they find someone with marijuana and pursue city charges.
Those convicted in City Court will pay a fine ranging from $40 to $100, depending on how many previous marijuana offenses they have. The law in Baton Rouge closely matches a New Orleans law change in 2016.
But the Baton Rouge ordinance doesn’t create a uniform policy across the parish. It does not apply in Baker, Central and Zachary. And the Baton Rouge Police Department, East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office and State Police have different marching orders for following city versus state law when it comes to marijuana possession cases.
City Court had 1,481 possession of marijuana filings last year, which includes outstanding warrants and marijuana counts connected to other charges as well, according to the clerk of court. Most of the cases sent to City Court are handled by the Baton Rouge Police Department.
The 19th Judicial District Court had 1,961 marijuana case filings last year, including bonds and affidavits. The 19th JDC handles marijuana possession cases when law enforcement officers book the offender under state law.
Baton Rouge Police Chief Murphy Paul told Metro Council members that BRPD would continue its regular practice of issuing a summons to someone with a small amount of marijuana and opt for the city charges unless the person is being accused of other criminal behavior, won’t reveal their identity or the officer doesn’t believe they will show up in court. In those cases, officers can choose to book someone into jail under state law, he said.
BRPD data from last year shows that of 983 cases for possession of under 14 grams marijuana, just one included an arrest. The remainder received a summons for marijuana, though they may have had other counts that resulted in an arrest.
Like in Baton Rouge, issuing a summons rather than an arrest was already standard practice for the New Orleans Police Department before New Orleans lawmakers changed their marijuana ordinance, according to Rafael Goyeneche, president of the Metropolitan Crime Commission in New Orleans.
Goyeneche said that if Baton Rouge police were already issuing a summons rather than an arrest in most marijuana cases, the ordinance change in the capital city probably will not have a “profound impact” on the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison population.
“There was a lot of misinformation that the New Orleans jail was full of marijuana users,” he said. His nonprofit’s analysis of the New Orleans prison population showed that just 6 percent of inmates in the jail between January and June 2015 — before the law changed there — were being held on misdemeanor charges. Another analysis that ran in August 2017 showed that just five inmates, or less than 1 percent of the prison population, were awaiting trials on misdemeanor drug charges.
Another issue that could affect how widespread the usage of the new ordinance is in Baton Rouge is that the East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office and State Police are not bound by it. State Police follow state law for marijuana possession, and a conviction under state law for under 14 grams can include up to $300 in fines and up to 15 days in jail.
Sheriff’s Office spokeswoman Casey Rayborn Hicks said the agency usually books people under state law, but deputies can use city ordinances if they desire. They also have the option of issuing a summons rather than making an arrest, but Hicks said there is not necessarily a policy directive to guide deputies on which one to use.
“Typically for us, it’s at the deputy’s discretion whether they feel like the person needs to be booked,” she said.
Hicks said the Sheriff’s Office was not closely involved in conversations about the marijuana penalty changes and that it would seek guidance from the District Attorney’s Office about whether it changes much for the agency.
Though New Orleans police also have the legal authority to make marijuana arrests under state law, it’s uncommon for them to use it, said John Wool, the director of justice policy at the Vera Institute in New Orleans.
Wool applauded the law change in Baton Rouge.
“Police departments should use the least intrusive interactions that fit the alleged offense,” Wool said. “And when they go beyond that, it leads to the sorts of tensions and distrust and animosity. It’s a good step, but it’s certainly only one of many needed steps.”
While the Sheriff’s Office patrols outside of Baton Rouge’s city limits and in Central, both Baker and Zachary have laws that differ from the Baton Rouge’s new marijuana ordinance. Baker’s City Council recently voted to make its marijuana ordinance match state law, and Zachary uses state law as well.
Baker Police Chief Carl Dunn said officers usually issue a summons for a small possession of marijuana, but they have the option of arresting and booking depending on the incident. Zachary City Prosecutor Trae Welch, who also sits on the Metro Council, pointed out that people can face mild penalties for marijuana possession under state law, but the judge over the case has more discretion.
Welch opposed the changes to Baton Rouge’s marijuana laws for a number of reasons, one of which was that the new penalties “tie the hands of the judiciary.” He also said people fail to understand that just because the penalty for marijuana possession could be as low as $40, pleading guilty and paying the fine still result in a drug conviction on someone’s criminal record.
“It costs more money to speed now in the city of Baton Rouge than it does to get a marijuana charge,” Welch said.

Say Hello to Danahee! She is so darned cute and really, really sweet and full of personality too! She is around 2 years old, athletic, and she weighs about 46lb. She is house trained and crate trained (although she does not like to be in her crate for a long time). She has some professional training and knows the basic commands, come, sit, down, stay and leave it, and she loves the agility course. She also walks well on her leash. Danahee has lots of fun energy, but she also likes to relax and snuggle with you on the couch. She is the ultimate lap dog!
Danahee also loves to play ball, go for car rides and give everyone lots of kisses! And Danni loves kids and gets along well with other dogs! Danni would do best in a home with a fenced yard and another large dog who will play with her. But Danni has to say no to cats (they are just too much fun to chase). She is currently in a foster home where she is being fostered with her best friend, Santababy! And Santababy is also available for adoption. So if you have room for two unbelievably great, bonded dogs, they would love to be adopted together and it would make them very happy. But Danni and SantaBaby will also be fine if adopted separately. If Danni sounds like a good fit for your family, please complete an adoption application so my foster family can set up a meet & greet. I look forward to meeting you! Love, Danni

For December 2019, just in time for the holidays, we are getting Titanfall 2 and Monster Energy Supercross!
Titanfall 2 on October 28, 2016 (my sister’s birthday). Ben of Platinum Chasers fame said in the below video that its inclusion makes sense as their latest game, Star Wars Jedi : Fallen Order, just came out. I am not that familiar with Titanfall 2, as I just learned that Apex Legends takes place within the Titanfall universe.
Monster Energy Supercross is a BMX game that I bet Walker Dennis and I will enjoy playing together. The third game in the series is set to come out sometime next year.
. . .
Titanfall 2’s Standard Edition is $19.99 (and will most likely be the version we get). It gets as low as $5.99.
Monster Energy Supercross – The Official Videogame Standard Edition is $39.99 (and will most likely be the version we get). It gets as low as $11.99.
So at their highest value, $60, and at their lowest value, $18. Which is not horrible nor the worst for the subscription, as long as I have been tracking
. . .
Both games have a slew of side content!
This game has three pages of content!
There is a free SHAREfactory theme that I have just downloaded.
There is an Ultimate Edition for $30.

An Operation Endeavor Warpaint Bundle for $20.
An Angel City’s Most Wanted Bundle for $25.
There is a Deluxe Edition Content for $10.
A Jump Start Pack for $7.
Typing all of that, the Ultimate Edition cannot include all of the art items, right? It does not but it comes with 500 tokens to unlock more items that it does not come with but it does come with a slew of items.
I might as well type all that it includes to save you, dear reader, an additional click :
Base game, Deluxe Edition content (Scorch & Ion Prime Titans, Decluxe Edition Warpaint for 6 Titans, Deluxe Edition Camo for all Titans, Pilots & Weapons, Deluxe Edition Nose Arts for 6 Titans, Deluxe Edition Callsign), Jump Start content (All Titans unlocked, all Pilot tacticals unlocked, 500 tokens to unlock loadouts, cosmetics and gear, 10 2x XP tokens), and the Underground R-201 Carbine Warpaint.
Which I am sure all of this makes sense once we start playing the game.
Monster Energy Supercross
Has a Monster Energy Cup $6
A Special Edition for $50
A Season Pass for $15
Credits Multiplier $5
Blue fire Custom Rider Pack $1
Yellowfire Custom Rider Pack $1
Additional Icons $1
Redfire Custom Rider Pack $1
Theme Liveries $4
So I am not sure if it is worth spending two dollars more for the Add-Ons that total $13, just to save a few clicks as we still have to click download for the individual DLCs.
Anyone else want to spell “Energy” as “Engery” which, of course, is not right, but I seem to keep wanting to spell it that way.

December is an awkward month for PS+ Subscription. Sony will never agree (nor the publishers most likely) to release a super popular game this month as that would cut into sales of physical gifts for the holidays. On the other hand, for those buying a new PS4, and getting a free trial of either 14 days of three months, one would think they would want to show off the PS+ Subscription Service to show how great it can be, instead of having the person look into the previous year’s offerings to see the value. That may be what the games in March are traditionally popular games to get people to resubscribe after their initial three months are up.
I say all of this as my favorite subbreddits are not too pleased with the offerings. Titanfall 2 has been steeply discounted over the years and Supercross seems like free advertisement.
That’s right, I have added PS4Deals to my subscriptions as it was the only way to find out what free themes were being offered and various other deals.
. . .
Here are my usual peeps on their thoughts :
Elle of PlayStation Access :
Adam of PlayStation Grenade :
Ben of Platinum Chasers :
Thanks to Ben for explaining all of the Death Stranding Supercross jokes / comments I was reading on the above subreddit threads as I could not imagine how Monster Energy drinks could make it into Death Stranding but they are definitely there!
. . .
Here are the trophy guides from PlayStation Trophies :
Seems like I should not have to work too hard to get at least my first trophies in these games.
. . .
In Mad Max, I have finally taken out all of the Top Dogs and I am slowly working on building all of the Archangels and completing Death Races. The Maximum Air trophy keeps eluding me, which is starting to really irritate me.
. . .
I did put a pin in that game as Elle mentioned Path of Exile in this video :
Which she had me at “free game.” After attempting Nioh, I really like the idea of playing a character with dual swords so hopefully my Duelist gets those soon.
The game can be pretty intense with the communities that have been created surrounding the game. Forbes has a pretty detailed three part introduction to the game :
So interesting how Forbes has a dedicated video game writer team.
I just started my game last night so I am pretty much just walking around the opening shore line and have visited the first town and then my first waypoint, then I had to turn off the game.
My plans are to turn him into a Slayer.
It is a lot of information to take in and the menu is very busy but I am committed to playing until I complete Act 1 of 10, and then I am probably going to put it away until I am reminded of it again.
. . .
Then I will probably jump back into Mad Max, try to get all of those Death Races completed, I know I am not getting the Platinum in this game as already two races are beyond me to earn the Legendary speed so I am only committed to finishing these races.
I can see me attempting Titanfall 2’s campaign, that I hear is excellent. Everyone states the multiplayer trophies are super easy, two of them are just doing things and one of them is winning the match so hopefully my team can carry me through. Supercross, I will have to read the trophy guide and play the game but I might do it like I did Horizon Chase Turbo and commit to tracks or cups, or however they break up the races.
. . .
Looking at the list of games, some of them really stand out as being pretty good :
For Honor (February 2019)
What Remains of Edith Finch (May 2019)
Sonic Mania (June 2019)
Sniper Elite 4 (August 2019)
Batman : Arkham Knight (September 2019)
The Last of Us Remastered (October 2019)
I really should make a bigger point of playing HItman : First Season and Detroit : Become Human.
So those would be my Top Six Free Games of 2019! I enjoyed playing the other ones but those stood out to me. So I would say six stellar games that I really took too (well, Sonic Mania might be the sixth game on that list), for $40, is not a bad bundle.
. . .
Have a Happy and Super Safe Thanksgiving Day, Ya’ll! Enjoy those Black Friday deals as well! Make Good Decisions!

Shape some aluminum foil into a funnel shape.
Thread: Opening a Diptyque Bottle
I'm attempting to open one of the newer oval-shaped Diptyque bottles, in order to use a dropper to fill a travel atomiser. Is this a bottle anyone else has experience opening, or is my only option to spray and funnel. I don't have a funnel now and would rather not use one. Many thanks in advance for any advice. :-)
My only option is to use a funnel. I would try what hedonist suggested, but I would recommend buying some small plastic funnels very soon.
Let us know how it goes.
"...her fragrance all in my keeping; softly she comes in the night." Lyrics, Gordon Lightfoot, "Softly."
Instead of purchasing funnels, invest in some travel atomisers that attach with the sprayer removed and pumps the fragrance from the bottle straight to the atomiser. You will never need to open a bottle ever again. Really cool and can be had online for less than 20 bucks.
You can get a variety of inexpensive but decent quality atomizers in various sizes. I spent like $6 shipped and got 3x15ml square atomizer bottles. They're easy to fit in a pocket and the glass is very solid (I've dropped a couple onto a hard porcelain sink and no chips/cracks).
Personally, I would like to reuse a fragrance bottle if I've bought more of it in a larger size (utilizing the smaller spray bottle). But most of them seem to be designed to prevent any useful refilling. Only on some where the opening is larger, you can use a syringe. A funnel would be a waste of time. Spillage is far too easy with a funnel, even when you have a splash bottle with a wide enough opening. Somehow the fragrance liquid always manages to creep out (alcohol properties perhaps?). I tried doing this with sample vials I'd bought (a big lot of 50 of Gucci Pour Homme), pouring the contents into a funnel. Messy. I just went with a blunt end syringe into the vial and that worked like a charm.

The graduates: reappraising Sidney Lumet’s adaptation of
Mary McCarthy’s classic novel.
The Group, directed by Sidney Lumet, available on Blu-ray from
Kino Lorber February 12, 2019
• • •
The prose of Mary McCarthy (1912–89), whether fiction, essays, or criticism, dazzles with pinpoint satire and piety-puncturing. Cast a Cold Eye (1950), the title of one of her early novels, easily doubles as her lifelong mandate. The introduction to Sights and Spectacles, 1937–1956, a collection of McCarthy’s theater reviews, most of which first appeared in Partisan Review, includes this fabulously venomous assessment: “People who go to the theatre today are divided into two classes—those who know how bad it is and those who have no inkling.”
She spared no one from her mordant scrutiny, least of all herself and her circle. By far her best-selling book, The Group (1963) epitomizes McCarthy’s talents for mining—better yet, fracking—her autobiography to create a pungent, precisely detailed portrait of her milieu. Tracing the postgraduate lives of eight women from the Vassar class of 1933—the same year McCarthy received her BA from that Seven Sisters institution—the book functions as both a lampoon and a novel of ideas. The Group recounts upper-middle-class folly; political divisions among the left; and the binds and blind spots of McCarthy’s Greatest Generation heroines, doomed to repeat their parents’ patterns, no matter how much they abjure them: “The worst fate, they utterly agreed, would be to become like Mother and Dad, stuffy and frightened. Not one of them, if she could help it, was going to marry a broker or a banker or a coldfish corporation lawyer. . . . They would rather be wildly poor and live on salmon wiggle than be forced to marry one of those dull purplish young men of their own set.” Densely plotted and populated, the book never falters in tone or temperature. Served from a constant low simmer, McCarthy’s witty, caustic observations still singe.
But in Sidney Lumet’s 1966 adaptation of The Group, the heat—and the volume—is turned way up. Several members of the central octet deliver their lines as if in the throes of delirium. The clamor repels and fascinates me equally. Lumet’s febrile movie, which was scripted by Sidney Buchman, has barely been in rotation on the repertory-cinema circuit; in New York, I can recall only one screening from the past decade, when Hilton Als presented The Group in 2009 as part of the ongoing “Queer|Art|Film” series. The near absence has surprised me. The Group, Lumet’s tenth feature, may seem a curio even in the long, wide-ranging career of the director, who died in 2011 and is usually remembered for his work with a florid Al Pacino in the Fun City diptych Serpico (1973) and Dog Day Afternoon (1975). But Lumet’s overwrought Vassar alumnae seem to anticipate his most outsize and best-known female protagonist: Faye Dunaway’s frenzied, calculating Diana Christensen in Network (1976).
Adding to the allure of this strange artifact, now available on Blu-ray, is the cast. The Group marked the screen debut of Candice Bergen, playing the sapphic, Europhilic beauty Lakey (more on her later). It was the second film of Jessica Walter, here as Libby, a catty, nattering publishing-house aspirant, who shares some of the same malice and self-regard exhibited by Lucille Bluth, the dipso, manipulative matriarch the actress portrays on Arrested Development.
Other performers, far more obscure (and/or long since retired or dead), intrigue, if only to ultimately exhaust, with their maximalist, unmodulated acting, particularly Joanna Pettet. She plays Kay, the character who seems to have the most overlap with McCarthy’s own history. Kay, like her creator, was wed a week after college graduation to an actor and would-be playwright, called Harald in the film (Larry Hagman)—and Harold in real life. And, in an episode likely sourced from McCarthy’s second, fractious marriage, to the prodigious writer and critic Edmund Wilson, Kay is committed to a psych ward by the boozing, philandering, failing Harald. In McCarthy’s book, that scene is chilling but rendered dispassionately; in Lumet’s film, Pettet wildly palpates the walls of the hospital room, as if trapped in a Tennessee Williams tryout. (Considering how much McCarthy hated Williams’s work—Sights and Spectacles contains her eminent evisceration of A Streetcar Named Desire—the histrionic segment registers all the more jarringly.)
During these discordant moments—which also include the high-pitched giggle Walter appends to nearly every one of Libby’s pronouncements and the distracting, orotund elocution of Joan Hackett as Dottie, tragically in love with the debauchee who has deflowered and forgotten her—I recall, and agree with, the appraisal of Elizabeth Bishop, McCarthy’s friend since their Vassar days (the poet was class of ’34). In a 1967 letter from Rio de Janeiro to Robert Lowell, Bishop writes: “A rainy Saturday afternoon with nothing to do we went to the local cinema to see O GRUPO—my it is dreadful; one of the worst films I’ve ever seen. Surely Mary had nothing at all to do with it . . .” (Mary didn’t.)
And yet much of the din in the movie, which runs just over two and a half hours, results from an admirable, maybe foolish, act of fealty: to replicate most of the novel’s abundant storylines. Nearly every incident, whether major (save for a detailed sex scene early in the novel, coyly handled in the film by a cut to the morning after) or minor, is recapitulated. Some even take place in the actual New York locations where they occur in the book, such as Dottie’s pivotal wait, for a suitor who never shows, on a Washington Square Park bench. While the movie couldn’t hope to reproduce McCarthy’s disquisitions on epoch-defining events, The Group is likely the only film of 1966 to feature characters uttering “Loyalist Spain,” “Moscow Trials,” and “Trotsky.”
There’s something else in Lumet’s movie that’s found in few others from that year, that decade, the past half century: a glamorous, unrepentant lesbian supremacist. As with the novel, Lakey, who departs for the Continent shortly after graduation and returns to New York after the outbreak of World War II, is absent for most of film. To the shock of her schoolmates, who are meeting Lakey’s boat, she comes back not just with steamer trunks but with a lover: an older, tweedy-butch baroness. “It occurred to them all that Lakey, who had always been frightening and superior, would now look down on them for not being Lesbians,” McCarthy writes. But Lakey’s most reproachful glare is reserved for—and demolishes—Harald, The Group’s most villainous man. Bergen is unsteady in the part, but she excels in carrying out her character’s most crucial action: casting a cold eye.

As the technology progresses, it is becoming hassle-free and the reason might be that it is going wireless and many businesses that depend on heavy use of technology is embracing this new change. The new startups that the millennial entrepreneurs are setting up use the latest technology because it is less expensive and the older and larger organization who has been in the business for many years has welcomed the wireless technology with open arms and moved to it.
Wireless Local Area Network is one of the innovations that has taken the industry by storm. According to the surveys, 50% of the organizations had already switched to the wireless tech by the year 2006.
When so much responsibility rests on the WLAN enterprise it is understandable that it is one of the main targets of cybercriminals. To keep your network safe and secure, it is important to know how it can be attacked.
Below are some of the most common wireless attack to look out for:
Rogue access points attacks surely need to be on top of the list. These are little wireless devices that can be installed even on a wired network and makes way for the hackers to get inside a network and its’ system without the need of authorization.
Peer to peer attack is one of the difficult to prevent attacks. If a device connected to an access point is malicious, it will affect other devices and make a gateway to let the hackers in.
Talking about MAC addresses that are aired in the open, they can cause a lot of damage since hackers can sniff those addresses that are authorized by the WLAN. These types of attacks are called MAC address spoofing attack.
One of the most important things to remember is that WLANs run on the public bands and that gives hackers a lot of scopes to easily carry out malicious attacks and get into the network. Denial of service attack is one of those attacks which are carried out by this method.
Another one is the man in the middle attack which is when a hacker impersonates one of the authorized parties to find out important and sensitive information through chatting.
Wardriving is one such kind of malicious attack that uses the GPS to track down the vulnerable which can be attacked without any resistance. It can be done by roaming around the streets with your tracker device.

The first Arabian pre-production hypersport car has been revealed by W Motors at the Dubai International Motor Show.
Established in Beirut and Headquartered in Dubai since early 2013, W Motors is the first Arabian manufacturer of Hypercars. The company launched the exterior prototype ‘The Lykan HyperSport’ last January at the International Qatar Motor Show and now, the unveiling of the first complete pre production unit of the “Lykan HyperSport 2014” finally took place.
“A year ago we have seen a dream turn into reality with the launch of W Motors, today this dream is shared with the whole world, witnessing the birth of the first Arabian Hypercar; the Lykan HyperSport is born,” said W Motors CEO Ralph R. Deebas.
Only seven units will be produced of the Lykan HyperSport 2014, each sold at $3.4 million.
The car is unquestionably exciting to look at, combining elements which are both elegant and extreme. The body is fully made from carbon fiber and the sharp edges are accented with Diamond and Saphire incrusted LED headlights.
The interior is completely customizable with a holographic display that features interactive motion and tactile interaction. A 24h/24h Global Elite concierge service provided by Quintessentially Lifestyle is dedicated to “Lykan” owners only and a unique patented design Cyrus Klepcys watch was developed exclusively for each car.
But perks aside, this hypersport car was born to perform. Power leaves the flat six twin-turbo engine through a seven-speed PDK clutch transmission reaching 770hp and 1000 NM torque. At a top speed of 395 km/h, the Lykan HyperSport 2014 can sprint from 0-100 km/h in 2.8 seconds.
The turbo Mid-Rear engine was engineered by RUF Automobile in Germany, while the lightweight Aluminum wheels have been forged by 2elle Engineering in Italy to strip out the bulk while maintaining strength for increased performance.
The seven units can be ordered in any of the ten colours available – from Arabian Pearl to Khalifa Green- and will be ready for delivery by the first quarter of 2014.

Dr. Berg said:
Try these simple and effective remedies.
- Take red yeast extract. Red yeast rice is a traditional Chinese culinary and medicinal product. Some red yeast rice products contain large amounts of monacolin K, which is chemically identical to the active ingredient in the cholesterol-lowering drug lovastatin. These products may lower blood cholesterol levels.
- Drink apple cider vinegar with water and lemon. Some studies suggest that apple cider vinegar can lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
- Eat at least 7 servings of vegetables each day.
- Fast intermittently. Fasting lowers fat storage hormones, which convert to cholesterol.
