LGIM: Laying the Foundation for a GIS-Centric Wastewater Agency
Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater
Authors: Carl Von Stetten
Central Contra Costa Sanitary District (CCCSD) recently migrated our GIS to the ArcGIS platform, leveraging the Local Government Information Model (LGIM) to provide a foundation for a GIS-Centric operation. The standardized LGIM schema – together with Esri-provided maps, applications, and tools – enabled CCCSD to more tightly couple our various operations software systems with the GIS. This presentation will share the challenges we overcame and the resulting success of our new GIS workflows.

You don’t need expensive furniture to decorate your garden. Try adding a few cheap ideas. You can use a Kilner jar to power solar-powered lights, or hang some colourful fairy lights from the trees or bushes. You can even create decorative ladder shelving by tying two ladders together at the top. You can then lay wooden planks across the runs, forming shelves, and display decorative items. A decorative ladder is an inexpensive and easy way to add a personal touch to your garden.
If you don’t have a green thumb, don’t fret, there are many ways to add color and life to your garden for a low cost. A simple bloom box can be constructed from wood, and it won’t cost much to make one. Place one outside the window and you’ll have a lovely garden without overpowering the rest of your landscape. Or, add one inside a flower box and enjoy its beauty all year round.
A giant ice cream cone is a favorite treat for the group of friends. The same thing applies to a giant ice cream box. The soil in this container may dry out quickly if it is left in the sun, so place it in the shade. Another cheap idea for a container garden is to repurpose a kitchen colander. You can spray paint it with an outdoor spray paint and add some landscape fabric to prevent the soil from falling through the holes. You can also reuse a malfunctioning drawer for a container garden.
One of the simplest and cheapest ideas for attracting birdlife is to install a bird feeder. Pinecones make wonderful bird feeders. Simply collect them on your daily walks and rinse them off when you get home. Next, tie a string to the top of the pinecone. Once the string is tied, spread a small amount of peanut butter on the outside. Place some seeds on top of the peanut butter.
Crushed stone planters
You can use crushed stone planters for a garden on a budget. They are great for filling large gaps in your garden. They also come in a variety of textures and colors, making them a great way to spruce up bare spots. Here are some other tips for making your garden look prettier for less money. Using crushed stone planters is easy and cheap, so get started today!
Recycling old furniture
When you’re planning to decorate your garden or backyard, you can use recycled items to dress it up. Old furniture can be recycled into pretty garden accessories and can be used as a side table or plant stand. Old milk jugs make a stylish plant or flowerpot stand. Recycled milk jugs can be painted and personalized for a unique look. You can also turn a steel drum into eco-sustainable furniture.
You can buy perennials whenever they’re on sale, or plan your flower bed and purchase them at the right time. If you don’t know where to begin, reading the tags on flower containers can be difficult, and planting them in the correct location may require a fair amount of guesswork. To avoid this problem, make notes of the areas of your garden that need colour now. If you buy perennials in full bloom now, you’ll avoid guesswork and purchase them in time.
Adding a privacy screen
Besides the obvious privacy benefits, a privacy screen can also be an eye-catcher. Bamboo privacy screens are both beautiful and cheap. Bamboo privacy screens are also sturdy and provide a natural, stylish look. For added privacy, install a private rock screen. The combination of the natural beauty of rock and privacy is quite delightful. This will not only make your garden look more natural, but will also provide a good amount of light.

This rather large beauty is the HTC HD3, a huge new smartphone from HTC that doesn’t just follow on from the HTC HD2, it blows it and every other smartphone on the market clean out of the water!
The HD3 looks set to come with Windows Phone 7 Series, which is a big deal in itself. But it’s the amazing list of features that HTC have managed to cram into the HD3 that is so jaw dropping.
Seriously, think of any hardware feature or spec you’d like to see in your dream phone, and the HD3 has it – in spades! Add to that the tasty novelty of being one of the first Windows Phone 7 Series phones, and the HD3 looks set to be one of the most anticipated phones of the year.
Don’t believe me? Check out the HTC HD3’s specifications after the jump.
HTC HD3 Specifications
The existing HTC HD2 is a monster of a smartphone, and with its HTC Sense UI, is what we described as the best Windows Mobile phoen in the world.
But the HD2 was the end of an era. A great end of an era, it has to be said, but it was very much the end of the line as far as Windows Mobile phones were concerned.
No matter. The end of Windows Mobile seems to have ushered in a brave new world of super-advanced Windows Phone 7 Series phones, at least if the HTC HD3 is anything to go by.
Just check out these specs:
- 4.5″ AMOLED screen with 1280×800 resolution
- 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor
- 1080p HD video playback
- 720p HD video recording
- 8 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash
- Multi-touch screen
- Super-thin – just 10mm thick
- WiFi, Bluetooth and 3G connectivity
- 4G connectivity for for blisteringly fast downloads that are over ten times as fast as today’s HSDPA phones
- 1GB onboard RAM
- 1GB onboard
- 32GB external memory
- 3.5″ headphone jack
- HDMI output for connecting to your HDTV or monitor
- 1800mAh battery for super-long battery life
- Bigger screen than the HD2, but a smaller overall physical size: 115mm x 65mm x 10mm
Add to this Microsoft Windows Phone 7 Series mobile OS, and you’ve got one of the hottest smartphones ever released!
HTC HD3 Release Date
We have no news on the HTC HD3 release date, unfortunately, other than it should be some time this year. As you can see from the pics, it’s the real deal – it’s definitely not vapourware.
Google’s Android has put up a cracking fight against the iPhone up until now, with HTC leading the way with its range of Android phones and its superb Sense UI. Now, with the HTC HD3, it’s the turn of Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 Series to step up to the plate and show what it’s made of.
I’m still not convinced by Microsoft’s new Mobile OS, but I most certainly am by the HTC HD3! I can’t wait to see it, and I can’t wait to see how a phone with those specs will perform with Android!

When Henry Ford started the line of Ford Motor Company he never could have imagined how gigantic this industry would become. In 1900 Henry Ford built his third vehicle, a truck (Wickel, 2010). By 1948 the F-Series were introduced by Henry Ford II, the grandson of Henry Ford. He was the chairman and ran the company from 1945 to 1979. With the introduction of the F-Series, they were basic trucks with only regular cabs but varied in sizes from half-ton to three ton pickups (Wickel, 2010). In 1975, the F-150 as we know it now was born again with many moderations in between. In 1988, Ford launched the first four-wheel drive super cab model and by 1994 they were equipped with driver’s side air bags (Wickel, 2010). At this point Ford was way ahead of their competitors with the advances they were adding onto the F-Series truck. There were so many moderations made to these pickups in a short amount of time and the advances continue yearly with Ford’s products. The F-150 trucks in today’s society are more than a truck as Henry Ford II knew it, they are used as family vehicles and are as luxury of a vehicle as we could imagine. They no longer ride rugged like how we used to think of trucks but offer a luxuriously smooth riding experience. The Ford family should be proud of the company they have created and maintained through two economic downturns.
As the economy took a turn for the worst Ford Motor Company was one of the biggest companies it took a hit to first. By early 2007 Ford was feeling the pain of the recession long before most other companies in the automotive industry. This company went back to their mission statement to recognize who they are and what they are about to get through these challenging times that they were facing and the ones that were lying ahead of them.

Attending a wedding is an activity we engage in from time to time. When we get an invite, we try to make out time to honour the couple. There are also many perks of going to a wedding. You will be making the couple’s day while getting to relax and enjoy yourself. However, it is also important that you keep safe while attending the wedding. This is more so, during times when they are pandemics like the Covid-19. Here are some of the ways to keep safe while attending a wedding.
Keep current safety precautions
Getting wed during Corona times and other types of a pandemic can be very challenging. In some cases, there might even be laws against gathering. However, if there is no such law, it is still important to protect yourself either as a couple or guest. During pandemics, there will always be guidelines that are believed to be effective in curbing the spread of the virus. It is important to keep to those laws.
During Corona Virus, for example, social distancing, wearing of face mask and regular washing of hands with running water for at least 20 seconds were recommended. Following such guidelines will go a long way to protect you. For other types of pandemics, other guidelines might be issued. Be aware of the guidelines and follow them religiously. It will go a long way to help you prevent getting whatever disease is trending at that point. It will be bad to go to a wedding healthy and come back sick.
Avoid rowdy places
Avoiding rowdy places is also a great way to keep yourself safe while attending a wedding. Apart from the risk of contracting communicable diseases, there is also the risk of being stampeded among others. Hence, it will be in your best interest to stay away from places that are rowdy to avoid diseases and injuries. You should immediately excuse yourself and find a less rowdy place to stay. If you can’t find a less rowdy place within the vicinity of the wedding, then it will be in your best interest to leave completely.
Take your medications
There are instances where you might be on medications during the period the wedding is scheduled to hold. Be sure that you take your medication correctly and at the right time. If the time you are supposed to take the medication falls during the wedding, you can take it along. If you are asthmatic or have other health conditions, be sure that you take your inhaler or whatever medications you might need along.
Needless to say, you shouldn’t attend a wedding when you know you have a disease you can transfer to others. You should also not attend a wedding when you know that you shouldn’t be in a crowded place because of the nature of your illness. It is not worth it to risk your life because of a wedding. You can always pay the couple later and take your gifts along. Attending a wedding you shouldn’t negatively affect the couple should you die or become seriously ill due to your attendance. The same applies to if you make several people ill as a result of your attendance.
Most communicable diseases have vaccines. Be sure you are well vaccinated before attending weddings, especially in the event of a new disease such as the Covid-19. There are vaccines currently available for the ailment and taking one before attending a wedding can go a long way to protect you. Getting a vaccination will make it almost impossible for you to get the disease and should you, your chances of survival will be significantly higher.

Hi! Thank you so much for your interest in Crescenloe 2023-2024! Crescenloe is Enloe’s resident a cappella group and was formed in 2015 by Nyla Smith. We perform at Enloe and across the Triangle! This page (and document below) will walk you through the audition process.
If you can, please join one of the interest meetings we are hosting! We will talk about what it’s like to be in Crescenloe and explain the audition process in detail. We highly recommend you join one of these meetings if you are interested in auditioning. It will not only be very helpful for you, but we also want to see all your lovely faces and meet you guys. :)
We will hold auditions in the chorus room. Initial auditions will include introductions, solo auditions, and a section of an a cappella arrangement, and an ear test. Based on the amount of interest, participation, and number of submissions, information about further audition callbacks or decisions will be announced. We will do the group songs first, and begin the solo auditions starting at 3:30. You will submit an interest form and then sign up for an audition slot, posted under this section once audition time rolls around.
For auditions this year, you will prepare one song of your choice, learn one part of an a cappella arrangement we give you to sing with a small group, and perform an ear test.
Sing the verse and chorus of a song of your choice. It can be a slow or upbeat song so long as it is a good representation of your singing. It can NOT be from a musical. You must sing a cappella. Do not use backing tracks/accompaniment. Pick a song that showcases your range, special skills, stylistic choices, performance energy, and personality. Ultimately pick a song you are most confident with :)
OPTIONAL ( but highly encouraged !! ): If you can beatbox, take 30-40 seconds at the end of this section of the audition to show us what you can do!
Group A Capella
Learn the voice part you are most comfortable with considering your range and the range of the song. Do NOT learn the solo part. In Crescenloe, we often assign voice parts on a song by song basis, so you can also learn and sing multiple voice parts if you feel comfortable in more than one for this part of the audition. It does not have to be memorized, but be comfortable enough with the music that you can also focus on musicality, performance energy, and blend. In a cappella arrangements, it is more important to blend with the group than to stand out as a solo artist. That being said, make mindful musical choices. You can use the song that you chose to show off your solo strengths.
We will do a quick ear test to see your ability to match pitch and melodic patterns. A member will sing a series of pitches and then you will repeat them back to us.
Your sheet music for the group song (Ideally printed out, but having it on your phone is also fine!!)
A fun fact about you
Your performance energy and acabop!
your dance/groove/energy that goes with the song you’re singing
After auditioning, keep an eye on your email for any additional information or announcements as we go through this process.
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact our exec team!

The Vancouver Canucks announced this morning that they have re-signed former Cents defender Josh Teves to a two-year, two-way deal.
Teves, 24, made his professional debut with Vancouver on Mar. 26, 2019 vs Anaheim. He signed an entry level contract with Vancouver on Mar. 12, 2019.
In 2018/19, Teves led all Princeton Tigers defencemen in scoring with 20 points (3-17-20) in 30 games. The 6'0", 180-pound defenceman also ranked third on the team in shots on goal (74) and power play assists (10). In 2017/18, Teves finished the season with 33 points (7-26-33) in 31 games, which led all NCAA blueliners in points per game (1.06) and assists per game (0.79). In four seasons at Princeton (2015-2019), Teves registered 85 points (16-69-85) in 126 games.
Prior to his collegiate career, the Calgary, Alberta native played one season for the Centennials, registering 33 points (5-28-33) in 57 games.
The Merritt Centennials will have a good barometer for their pre-season as they've announced their exhibition dates.
The Cents will play a pair of home-and-home series against two of the top teams in the league to test out their team during the pre-season.
The Cents will play the Penticton Vees on back to back nights - first in Penticton on August 23rd, then in Merritt on August 24th. They'll follow that up with a series against the defending champion Prince George Spruce Kings - a game in PG on August 27th and a return to Merritt to finish the pre-season on August 30th.
All start times are 7pm.
The Merritt Centennials have announced the acquisition of two players ahead of the 2019-20 season.
In a pair of moves, the Cents have acquired defenseman Olson Werenka (99) from the Salmon Arm Silverbacks and forward Tanner Mortenson (00) from the Notre Dame Hounds of the SJHL for future considerations.
A Calgary, Alberta native standing at 6'2" and weighing 220 pounds, the left shot Werenka compiled 6 goals, 14 assists, and 102 penalty minutes while playing with Salmon Arm last season. He spent the majority of the previous year with the Bonnyville Pontiacs of the AJHL where he had 5 goals, 11 assists and 226 penalty minutes.
Head Coach and General Manager Barry Wolff says that Werenka is more than just a big body.
"Olson brings a 200 ft game, he has a high end compete, is hard to play against, and doesn't mind playing a more tough and rugged game. We're also hoping he can continue to build on his offensive totals from last season."
Mortenson, also a Calgary native, is 6'0 and 180 pounds and has spent 5 seasons at the prestigious Notre Dame School. Last season with the Hounds Mortenson went pointless in 14 games with 25 penalty minutes.
Coach Wolff says that Mortenson will bring some much needed character to the team.
"Tanner is a high end character kid, he plays hard, and finishes every hit."
Both will report to main camp in August.
The BCHL has announced changes to it's Showcase format, but the Centennials will have some familiar adversaries on the ice.
The league has made a number of adjustments to it's showcase which include:
The Showcase schedule will begin at Prospera Centre in Chilliwack with games on Oct. 2 and 3 and will shift venues for the weekend action at South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton on Oct. 4 and 5.
The Centennials are one of the only teams to split time between the two venues. They will head down to Chilliwack to play on Thursday October 3rd against Former Head Coach Joe Martin and the Alberni Valley Bulldogs at 4:30pm, and will follow that up by playing last years first round opponent, the Trail Smoke Eaters at the SOEC in Penticton at 4pm on Friday October 4th.
The game at the showcase will be the first meeting for Head Coach Joe Martin against his former club.
The Merritt Centennials have announced their schedule for the upcoming 2019-20 season.
The pre-season will see the Cents host two home games. One on August 24th against the Penticton Vees, and the other on August 30th against the Prince George Spruce Kings.
The season kicks off with the Murray GM Home Opener against the Wenatchee Wild on Friday, September 6th and will feature some new exciting incentives to keep fans coming back for more.
Parent's Weekend and the Ice Breaker will be on the weekend of October 25th - October 27th. On the 25th the Cents will face off against the Langley Rivermen, the Ice Breaker will be on the evening of the 26th, and the Penticton Vees will visit on Sunday afternoon on the 27th.
The reigning champion Prince George Spruce Kings visit the NVMA on November 22nd.
Teddy Bear Toss night will be December 21st, and the new year kicks off with a game against first round opponents of 2018-19 Trail Smoke Eaters on January 3rd.
The Cents Mental Health Night will be on February 22nd against the Trail Smoke Eaters.

This publication provides a coherent description of the theoretical and useful aspects
of colored Petri Nets (CP-nets or CPN). It exhibits how CP-nets were developed
- from being a promising theoretical version to being a full-fledged language
for the layout, specification, simulation, validation and implementation of
large software program structures (and different platforms during which humans and/or computers
communicate via a few kind of formal rules). The book
contains the formal definition of CP-nets and the mathematical conception behind
their research equipment. despite the fact that, it's been the goal to put in writing the e-book in
such a manner that it additionally turns into appealing to readers who're extra in
applications than the underlying arithmetic. which means a wide a part of the
book is written in a method that is towards an engineering textbook (or a users'
manual) than it truly is to a standard textbook in theoretical laptop technology. The book
consists of 3 separate volumes.
The first quantity defines the internet version (i. e. , hierarchical CP-nets) and the
basic options (e. g. , the several behavioural houses comparable to deadlocks, fairness
and domestic markings). It provides an in depth presentation of many smaIl examples
and a quick evaluate of a few business functions. It introduces the formal
analysis equipment. FinaIly, it encompasses a description of a suite of CPN tools
which aid the sensible use of CP-nets. many of the fabric during this quantity is

The moment quantity features a targeted presentation of the speculation in the back of the
formal research tools - specifically incidence graphs with equivalence
classes and place/transition invariants. It additionally describes how those research methods
are supported by means of computing device instruments. components of this quantity are quite theoretical
while different components are program orientated. the aim of the quantity is to teach
the reader tips to use the formal research equipment. it will now not unavoidably require

Is 22 hollow point effective?
Veteran YouTuber Paul Harrell hits the range to demonstrate the effectiveness (or lack thereof) of 22 long rifle hollow point bullets on his “meat target” when fired from a handgun.
That said, the 22 long rifle is certainly powerful enough to kill someone..
Is a 25 caliber good for self defense?
They say the . 22 LR is slightly more powerful when fired from longer rifle barrels, the . 25 ACP is viewed by some personal defense experts as a better choice for personal defense handguns due to its centerfire-case design, which is inherently more reliable than a rimfire cartridge.
Will a 22 stop an intruder?
I have a slightly different take on the answer to this question. If the question is, is a . 22 caliber pistol big enough to project enough force to do serious or fatal damage to an intruder? … 22 will kill, but it would probably have to be an accurate shot or multiple shots in order to accomplish that.
Would a 9mm kill a bear?
Yes, a 9 mm can injure or kill a bear. … The bear will die of his injuries, but he will still have enough life left in him to do you in, before he dies. You will not have a side shot if a grizzly bear is charging you, and most likely your 9mm will only inrage him, and make him try his best to kill you.
Is a 25 caliber bigger than a 22 caliber?
The . 25 acp is a heavier bullet, being propelled through a shorter barrel, by less powder, than a . 22 long. Inherently, the 25 ACP is not less powerful than a 22 long rifle.
How dangerous is a 22 caliber bullet?
Because a .22 LR bullet is less powerful than larger cartridges, its danger to humans is often underestimated. In fact, a .22 LR bullet is easily capable of killing or injuring humans. Even after flying 400 yards (370 m), a .22 bullet is still traveling about 500 ft/s (150 m/s).
What’s the best 22 ammo for self defense?
And one in particular I want to point out: the CCI Stinger. This load is frequently suggested as a good choice for self-defense if you’re going to use a . 22 and I think that’s because the advertised velocity is a little higher than what is typical.
Is a 9mm good for self defense?
9mm always has higher magazine capacity than . 40 S&W, provided you’re comparing two guns of the same size. So, in almost any context, a 9mm handgun enables you to perform better than . … 40 S&W is a perfectly viable self-defense round.
Can a 25 Auto Kill?
If you’re talking about the . 25 ACP pistol cartridge (there are many cartridges that fire . 25 caliber bullets, and some of them are very useful), no, it isn’t useful for much. As a carry gun for self-defense it beats throwing rocks, but it’s less powerful than a .
Can a .25 shoot .22 bullets?
yes, can probably fire a smaller diameter bullet if it is loaded in a . … 22 long rifle cases are smaller diameter and will rattle around in the chamber. Since . 25 ACP ammo is all Center-fire, any gun designed for it will not fire because the firing pin will not touch the rim-fire primer of .
What is the deadliest handgun caliber?
9mmDespite its age, the 9mm is more dangerous than ever before, due to innovations in ammunition lethality that squeeze greater performance out of the bullet.
Why is 38 Special weaker than 9mm?
Rounds developed in the post-smokeless powder era of similar size travel much faster, such as the 9mm Luger/Parabellum, which travels almost twice as fast as . 38 Special rounds in pedestrian loadings. That said, overpressure – or +P – loads of . … In that case it’s arguably weak because the round is smaller and slower.
Which caliber is best for self defense?
Calibers for Self-Defense | Weigh Your Choices380. I listed 380 because it’s a light and easy-to-handle smaller-bodied pistol ideal for most people. … 12 Gauge. The 12 gauge is excellent if you want a home defense shotgun or if you need to carry a weapon in your vehicle. … 9mm. … 40 Cal. … 357 Mag.
Can a 22 caliber pistol kill you?
Yes, a . 22LR is a lethal caliber that absolutely can kill. A . 22LR is more than enough bullet that, if it hits a vital structure, can bring about incapacitation or death.
What is the deadliest 22 round?
Currently the 22 LR ammo that strikes the best balance of bullet weight and muzzle velocity to achieve the greatest power is CCI’s Stinger 22 LR Ammo. This round has a 32 grain CPHP bullet loaded to a muzzle velocity of 1,640 fps. The hyper-velocity Stinger cartridge boasts a whopping 191 ft lbs of muzzle energy.
What is the cleanest 22lr ammo?
New from CCI is Clean-22 rimfire ammo, which uses a polymer bullet coating to reduce copper and lead barrel fouling. There are two loads available in subsonic (blue) and high-velocity (red) versions. Both loads feature a 40-grain round nosed lead bullet.
What caliber has the best stopping power?
40 round, which supposedly combines the best features of the . 45 ACP and the 9mm. However, others say that the lowly . 22 LR has the best stopping power, since it stays in the target’s body and bounces around, shredding arteries and punching holes in internal organs.

Note: Contains nudity.
Last March we featured the work of Brian Cattelle, an American photographer who embarked on an ambitious project called “BARE USA.” The conceptÂ was simple, yet powerful: to travel to each of the 50 states, photographing nude models in abandoned buildings, thereby reinvesting scenes of neglect with beauty and new life. On November 15th, Brian went to Hawaii to shoot his 50th and final state. His website has been updated, and you can now viewÂ all the images from his travels. Prints are available here, and he will be publishing a book (digital and hardcopy) of the full collection.

Pop, pathos and chatting: Robbie Williams (48) cast a spell over the audience at the Elbphilharmonie and the viewers of the live stream with a fascinating mixture of rousing music and stories from his life.
"When I'm here, I get this overwhelming feeling of love. I'm very grateful for that," Williams called out to around 2,100 people in Hamburg's "Elphi" during the approximately two-hour show on Tuesday evening. He feels hugged. And it was exactly this feeling that the musician, who once became famous with Take That, gave back to his listeners.
Insights into an eventful life
He not only took her with his songs, which also came from the new best-of-with-orchestral album "XXV", on a personal journey through his 25-year solo career. Between the songs he also showed his vulnerable side, talked about the ups and downs of his life, drug and alcohol addiction, fears and worries and the things that would have made him strong again. For example, Geri Halliwell ("Spice Girls") helped him through a very difficult time around 20 years ago. He wrote the song "Eternity" for her. For his family - his wife Ayda and their four children - he sang "Love my Life" in the famous concert hall on the Elbe. She made his life complete and gave him a purpose.
A fan, Andrea from Cologne, was allowed to take a special moment home with him. She sang along and smiled so enthusiastically all night that he wanted to present her with the award for best audience, Williams said. So she gave him a lot back during the concert, the Briton said and dedicated "She's the one" to her, which moved Andrea to tears.
Charming, funny, self-deprecating
Williams' engaging, charming, witty, self-deprecating and mischievous character determined the evening in such a way that the large orchestra almost receded into the background at times. Even the musician's comparatively loud band drowned out the more than 80 musicians of the Neue Philharmonie Frankfurt in many places. It had the greatest musical impact in the passages where drums and electric guitars had to rest.
Williams had already told the German Press Agency before the performance that the acoustics of the Elbphilharmonie were not that important to him. "I've got my earbuds on. That's what I'm hearing." However, there was also a moment when the orchestra was still playing and Williams took off his earphones, listened to the music and commented "Wow" on it.
At the live premiere of the version of the Williams hit "Angels" rearranged by artificial intelligence, the orchestra was able to show the power it can unleash. The "Beethoven AI", which had already completed Beethoven's 10th symphony, has now also interwoven the moonlight sonata with the intro of "Angels" and also composed an instrumental middle section for which they were able to draw on all of Beethoven's works. The result, as the last of 16 songs that evening, was well worth listening to and seemed like a symbiosis of classic and pop in the "Elphi".
AI music excites Williams
He was fascinated by Telekom's idea of artificial intelligence recomposing a song by him. This way of writing music is still very new and one can be both fascinated and excited and wary of it, as Williams said. "When it comes to artificial intelligence, you can be all three things. Yes, in my tiny way, I'm a part of this technological revolution."
He still thinks his version of "Angels" is better. "Well, the original is the original, isn't it? It made my life and my career possible, and it made everything possible. So it's my baby." Would he also use artificial intelligence for his new songs in the future? "Maybe. I think it would be interesting if AI could write lyrics." For his new album, which is currently in the works, he did not let AI help him.
Before the concert, Williams had a little time to get to know the Hanseatic city better. Among other things, he was out and about in a harbor barge on the Elbe for a photo session and gave his interviews in the Elbphilharmonie with the best view of the harbour. He had been to the Reeperbahn before, "but I didn't really understand that this is a seafaring and industrial city that is very similar to Liverpool," said the Brit. "This time I can understand her heart and soul better. I understand Hamburg. I'm starting to make friends with the city."

America Tests Positive for a Bad Time
Well, there you go, folks. That’s the twist at the beginning of the third act. President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump have tested positive for coronavirus, just four weeks from the worst election ever.
The president announced the results of the test in a tweet that woke up the entire country, shortly before 1 a.m. this morning.
The announcement came hours after the confirmation that Hope Hicks, a top advisor who has been chilling in the president’s corona zone all week, had tested positive for the virus.
US stock futures plunged moments after the president hit “send tweet,” as investors across the nation gave a collective “COME ON!” Just ahead of the open this morning, Dow futures were Dow-n nearly 500 points.
White House physician Sean Conley said the president and first lady were both “well at this time” and would remain at the White House for the duration of their infectious period. And so, just four weeks out from an election, President Trump has been railroaded off the campaign trail to self-quarantine for at least two weeks.
The president, who has been criticized for downplaying the severity of the virus, was scheduled to attend several indoor, unmasked campaign events in the coming weeks, including a rally in his hotel in Washington today.
Trump joins the distinguished ranks of U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro to become one of the few world leaders to test positive for the ‘rona.
According to White House officials, the president is reportedly experiencing “mild symptoms” of the virus this morning. The virus may pass through his system with little more to show than your typical flu-like symptoms. But according to the CDC, the president’s age of 74 puts him at higher risk of complications from the virus — at least five times more likely to be hospitalized than a person in their twenties with the virus, and 90 times as likely to die.
Should the president be incapacitated by his symptoms, he could temporarily transfer power to Vice President Pence under the 25th Amendment.
If something were to happen to the VP, the speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, is next in the line of succession, followed by the Senate president, Senator Chuck Grassley.
Let’s hope it doesn’t come to that.
Buckle up, folks. It’s going to be a bumpy two weeks.
FOOD & BEVERAGE
Subway Sandwiches Legally Not Bread
Ireland’s Supreme Court ruled this week that Subway’s sandwiches are not made with bread, directly contradicting step 2 in the Subway sandwich-making process.
Not pictured: Bread.
Under Irish law, Subway’s selection of loaves does not meet the legal definition of “bread.”
To be considered bread in the Emerald Isles, sugar can make up no more than 2% of the flour content in your dough. Any more than that, and you’re baking a cake, baby.
“If [the sugar content] exceeds the limitation, the resulting product falls outside the definition of ‘bread’ for the purposes of the act,” said Justice Donal O’Donnell, while eating a Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki donut.
In Ireland, bread is considered a “staple food” and taxed lower at a lower rate. Cake, pastries, and confectionery, on the other hand, fall under the umbrella of “luxury items” and are taxed at a higher rate because little victorian orphan children don’t deserve tasty sugary treats.
As such, Subway will have to pay additional tax on every meatball eclair and steak and cheese croissant sold in one of their Irish locations.
Subway took issue with the ruling, stating that its bread “is, of course, bread.”
“We have been baking fresh bread [editor’s note: cakes] in our stores for more than three decades and our guests return each day for sandwiches made on bread [editor’s note: cakes] that smells as good as it tastes,” said Subway.
Google Offers News Publishers $1 Billion
Google says it will pay news publishers $1 billion over the next three years because it feels bad for systematically bringing the industry to its knees in the last decade.
The company said its signed agreement with nearly 200 dying businesses in Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, the U.K., and Australia.
“This financial commitment – our biggest to date – will pay publishers to create and curate high-quality content for a different kind of online news experience,” said CEO Sundar Pichai, while raking the ashes of investigative journalism.
The funding will be added to the news licensing program Google launched at the beginning of the pandemic, seeking to defuse tensions with an industry that would happily catapult Google into the sun.
Facebook unveiled a similar program last year, offering to pay US news companies like the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post potentially millions of dollars for their headlines.
Critics of Google and the enormous power they wield over the publishing industry are skeptical of the move, pointing out that it only serves to give Google more control over the content that’s produced.
“Many are quite cynical about Google’s perceived strategy,” said Angela Mills Wade, executive director of the European Publishers Council, told the Associated Press.
“By launching a product, they can dictate terms and conditions, undermine legislation designed to create conditions for a fair negotiation, while claiming they are helping to fund news production.”

Swedish rockers Band of Brothers are back with a new album. The band’s music roams around in the land of melodic grown-up rock.
Band of Brothers’ frontman and lead vocalist Christer Nilsson is best known from Hion Martell and formerly of 80s cult heroes Hallonbomb. The rest of the band consists of three members of the melodic hard rock band Angeline – Uffe Nilsson on bass, his brother Jocke Nilsson on guitar and Tobbe Jonsson on drums. Tobbe is also a member of power metal band The Lightbringer of Sweden. When the old childhood friends from the small town of Ljusdal play together in Band of Brothers we get a melodic, grown-up guitar-driven rock with some blues touches, some AOR and hard rock. The band debuted in 2015 and released a second album in 2020. “Ship of Fools” is Band of Brothers’ third album. The title track “Ship of Fools” is one of its strongest tracks. The catchy “Rock Your Bones” is another highlight and so is “Band of Brothers” with its excellent guitar work. But the best track is without a doubt “Innocence Lost” as it, like “Ship of Fools”, has a bit of an edge and attitude about it. This album has more variety than the previous releases. It is less safe and better.
Band of Brothers’ “Ship of Fools” is out now via Blow Your Fez Off Music.

Megan Fox quit the movie blockbuster “Transformers 3” after an argument with director Michael Bay, who thought she was too thin, U.K.’s The Sun reports.
Bay, 45, reportedly thought the 24-year-old looked “unhealthy” and wanted her to put on weight if she wanted to resume her role as Mikaela Banes in the third film.
The upshot was a massive fight that left Bay looking for a new leading lady with production beginning this month.
A source on the movie said: “Megan stormed out after a huge (fight) with Michael Bay.
“He thinks she has lost too much weight and looks too frail. He wanted her to put on some weight and it all kicked off.
“The crew doesn’t think she looks well, let alone the wholesome, curvy star they cast in the first film. She’s going for this gaunt, pale image and it just looks unhealthy.”
This is not the first time Fox has found herself at the center of the size-zero battlefield.
She has been criticized for revealing that she chugs vinegar as a quick fix to shed pounds. She has also previously told how she fell into depression after her weight plummeted.
She said last year: “I turned into a zombie. I lost like 30 pounds. I was telling myself I was method acting, which was not true. I ended up getting sick and my hair started falling out.”
And just this week she told a magazine: “I’ll starve to death before I’ll cook for myself. I think I could survive a week without eating.”
Fox and director Bay have had a volatile relationship since he cast her in the Transformers film that shot her to superstardom.
She compared the director to Adolf Hitler in an interview last year and called him a “nightmare” to work for, sparking rumors she would be dumped from the third film.
British star Gemma Arterton, 24, is among the favorites to take over the female lead in the franchise.
Lindsay Lohan was hard at work in Cannes, according to an exec behind her next movie, “Inferno,” in which she’ll play porn star Linda “Deep Throat” Lovelace.
Muse Films production exec Jonathan Fong tells UsMagazine of the actress, who was nearly arrested when she lost her passport and couldn’t return for a court hearing, “The purpose of the trip was for sales.”
“That was her role as the star, making press appearances in support of the movie. She showed up at other parties, but she was promoting the movie in the atmosphere,” continues Fong of Lohan, 23, who partied until 7:30 a.m. following news that a judge had issued a warrant for her arrest. “It helps to sell the movie to have her meet with the people who will fund the film.”
Despite the “Mean Girls” star’s legal problems, “Lohan is still attached to the project,” says Fong.
And her SCRAM bracelet, which she’ll have to wear at least until her July 6 court hearing, won’t get in the way of production. “The film shoots in the fall,” Fong says.
Conan O’Brien has received another huge payday — but this time NBC has nothing to do with it.
The former Tonight Show host sold his Upper West Side duplex apartment on New York’s Central Park West for close to the $29.5 million, according to RadarOnline.
It is one of the biggest residential sales of the year so far in Manhattan.
The red-headed comedian, who will return to television this fall with a talk show on TBS, exited NBC with a $45 million settlement for himself and his staff, after the network re-installed Jay Leno at the Tonight Show.
He plans to film his latest project in Los Angeles.
O’Brien’s broker, John Burger, declined to comment on the transaction and so did Conan.
In other Manhattan real estate news, Tina Fey‘s Upper West Side classic-six has just been listed f
Actor Dennis Quaid has sued the pharmaceutical company that makes the blood thinner heparin following the overdoses that threatened the lives of his newborn twins three years ago.
Quaid sued Deerfield, Ill.-based Baxter Healthcare Corp. in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday. The lawsuit seeks unspecified damages and alleges that packaging caused the drug mix-up at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The lawsuit says heparin and a lower-dose version called Hep-Lock are both packaged in similar blue vials with small print on the labels.
The case argues that Baxter should have recalled the heparin vials because the company knew infants had died because of similar medication errors.
Quaid and his wife settled with the hospital for $500,000 in June 2009.

How To Add Bluetooth Printer To Mac?
The emergence of Bluetooth technology has made our lives much easier and more convenient. One of the lesser-known uses of Bluetooth connectivity is the ability to connect a printer to a Mac device. This article will guide you through the process of adding a Bluetooth printer to a Mac device step-by-step so that you can print your documents wirelessly.
Subheading 1: Why Would You Need to Add a Bluetooth Printer to a Mac?
Before we delve into the process of adding a Bluetooth printer to a Mac machine, let's first understand why someone would need to do it. The most obvious reason is the convenience factor. With a Bluetooth printer, you can print a document without having to physically connect your Mac to the printer via a cable. This means that you can print something from your Mac while you're sitting comfortably on the couch, without having to get up and walk to the printer.
Another reason why you might want to add a Bluetooth printer to your Mac is if you have limited desk space. A wireless printer takes up less space, as you don't have to worry about the cords and cables that come with a traditional printer.
Subheading 2: Requirements for Adding a Bluetooth Printer to a Mac
Before we get started with the process of adding a Bluetooth printer to your Mac device, we need to make sure that we have all the necessary requirements. The first requirement is a Bluetooth printer. Make sure that your printer has Bluetooth before you begin the process. A printer without Bluetooth cannot be added to a Mac device wirelessly.
The second requirement is a Mac device that supports Bluetooth connectivity. Most Mac devices come equipped with Bluetooth capabilities, but it's always best to double-check before you begin the process.
Finally, you will need to have the latest version of macOS installed on your Mac. If you have an older version of macOS, you may not be able to add a Bluetooth printer to your device. macOS Mojave (10.14) and later versions support Bluetooth printing.
Subheading 3: How to Add a Bluetooth Printer to a Mac
Now that we have all the necessary requirements, let's dive into the process of adding a Bluetooth printer to your Mac device. Follow the steps below:
Step 1: Turn on your Bluetooth printer and make sure that it is discoverable. If your printer is not set to discoverable mode, you will not be able to connect it to your Mac.
Step 2: Go to Apple menu on your Mac and select 'System Preferences.'
Step 3: In the System Preferences window, select 'Printers and Scanners.'
Step 4: Click the '+' button located at the bottom of the printer list window.
Step 5: Your Mac will now scan for available printers. Once your Bluetooth printer is detected, select it from the list of available printers and click 'Add.'
Step 6: If you are prompted to install any software or drivers, follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation process.
Step 7: Once you have successfully added your Bluetooth printer, you will see it in the list of available printers. Select it as your default printer if desired.
Subheading 4: Troubleshooting Tips
If you encounter any issues while adding your Bluetooth printer to your Mac device, try the following troubleshooting tips:
1. Make sure that your Bluetooth printer is turned on and in discoverable mode.
2. Ensure that your Mac is within range of your Bluetooth printer.
3. Make sure that your Mac's Bluetooth is turned on.
4. Try restarting your Bluetooth printer and your Mac device.
5. If you are using an older version of macOS, ensure that it is compatible with Bluetooth printing.
6. Consult the user manual that came with your printer for additional troubleshooting tips.
Subheading 5: Conclusion
In conclusion, adding a Bluetooth printer to your Mac device is a quick and easy process. Once you've successfully connected your printer, you'll be able to print documents wirelessly and enjoy the convenience that Bluetooth technology has to offer.

I will tell you about two fantastic restaurants in Antwerp without actually showing you some food. The thing is, I don’t have any pictures of what we ate. I was too excited about the food I guess.
So we spent a great weekend in Antwerp, Belgium, which is only two hours by car from where we live. It was a nice short weekend trip.
It is an open secret that I have a soft spot for fries with mayonnaise so what was the first thing we did when we arrived in Belgium (the country of fries)? We stopped at a “Frituur” to have a big portion of fries. After that we took a nap. Of course. Apart from that our trip involved excellent food on Friday and Saturday night. I found two great restaurants called Fiskebar and Le John.
On Friday we had dinner at the Fiskebar, a lively and laid back fish restaurant in the trendy south of Antwerp. It is probably the best place to have fresh fish in the city. The menu is on a chalkboard on the wall and either you speak the language or the people at the restaurant are happy to help. We had Ceviche and mackerel sashimi to start with. I had swordfish with a beetroot risotto and Philipp took catfish with mashed potatoes and fennel. It all tasted divine.
Good food and great atmosphere. The look of the restaurant is quite Scandinavian. We really liked it and would definitely come back.
Saturday night I chose Le John for dinner. A rather fancy and hidden restaurant and bar. They offer fusion cuisine with a Mediterranean focus. Minimalist interior and friendly service.
We both had pasta for dinner. Philipp had wild boar ravioli and I chose fettuccini ai funghi. We had a good red wine from Sardinia. My food choice was ok.
After dinner we went upstairs to have a drink. They have a nice lounge and bar upstairs. It was great to lounge on a sofa after dinner to have a drink. Love the concept. They have a wide variety of drinks. We can recommend this place as well.
Le John: http://restaurantlejohn.tumblr.com
I recommend making a reservation!
The blog Green Kitchen Stories by David Frenkiel and Luise Vindahl was one of the first food blogs that I bookmarked. Their healthy and simple cooking style has definitely inspired me over the past few years. So I was very excited when they released their first book this year. “The Green Kitchen” is a collection of beautiful vegetarian recipes and tips on how to get a healthier and more versatile pantry. You should definitely have a look at this great book!
Pumpkin soup is an all time fall classic for us. My version is based on vegetable stock and coconut milk, flavored with ginger and various spices. Usually I make a big pot, which we warm up the next day or to make myself a work lunch. I love pumpkin soup. Sometimes I intermix leftover vegetables such as carrots or parsnip.
There is another pumpkin left in the kitchen so I would say: pickled pumpkin! I am a big fan of pickles but I am a total beginner when it comes to making preserves. But making sweet and sour pickled pumpkin is quite easy and super tasty.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend – maybe with a hot pumpkin soup!
4 cups (about 450g) of pumpkin, deseeded and chopped into small chunks
1 piece of ginger as big as a large thumb, peeled and finely diced
2 1/2 cups (about 550 ml) of vegetable stock
1 1/2 cups (about 400 ml) of coconut milk
1 heaped teaspoon turmeric
1 heaped teaspoon coriander
1 heaped teaspoon cumin
1 heaped teaspoon cardamon
Salt to taste
Sear pumpkin and ginger with some olive oil and the spice mixture for about 5 minutes. Add vegetable stock and let everything simmer over medium heat for 15-20 minutes until the pumpkin is slightly soft. Add coconut milk and then purée everything. Season to taste with salt.
Good bye, summer!
We probably had the last beautifully hot days at the sea last week, soaking up the sun and swimming in the ocean. We spent five days on my beloved island Juist in the North of Germany. I read two books, we spent most of the time outdoors and we kind of ate all day long – perfect short holiday I’d say. I can’t wait to be back to the island for my sister’s wedding in October, when all the crowds are gone.
I am becoming even more crazy about Japanese food! We had a Japanese friend over last weekend and she showed me some new things and, what’s more, I found a new Japanese supermarket in our city, where I discovered cool new stuff such as Daikon sprouts.
So this week was all about Japanes food. I made ramen from scratch, we had freestlye sushi for dinner twice and I had bento-box-style work lunches.
I have a cake for you to make this weekend and it’s the best sweet thing I have eaten in a while. Seriously. It’s also quick and easy to make. Looking at the great weather outside that’s a plus, too.
A Galette is a rustic cake which can be both sweet and savory. Leaving out the sugar in the dough you can easily make a savory version with a vegetable filling. Today I have decided to make the sweet version as I have been waiting for fresh blueberries so long and now the blueberry season is finally here.
After a hot week in the office I am looking forward to some outdoor action and swimming. So less words today. Enjoy your weekend!
1 3/4 cup rye flour
1/3 cup raw cane sugar
150g cold butter
A pinch of salt
3 cups whole fresh blueberries
Juice and zest from one lemon
1/4 cup honey
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 180°C. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, egg, butter and salt. Transfer the dough to a working surface and roll out the dough into a round shape. In a bowl, combine the blueberries, lemon juice and zest, honey, cornstarch and vanilla extract and mix well. Spoon the filling onto the dough, leaving an uncovered border. Fold the edges over the filling. Bake the Galette for about 45 minutes, until it is golden brown. Allow to cool down. Serve plain or with whipped cream.
Last saturday was the first time I attended a supperclub dinner. Supperclubs are private underground restaurants or actually dinner parties, which are organized at somebody’s home or at secret places. They are advertised via the internet, social media and word of mouth and the number of guests is limited. The host invites a certain number of “strangers” for a self-cooked dinner menu.
I just recently heard about supperclubs and was well excited about the idea to spend an evening with total strangers who as enthusiastic about food as I am. It really was a great experience. The atmosphere was unique and we had a four-course-dinner accompanied by great wines. I would definitely do it again.
We have been cheering for my cousin last weekend at the Düsseldorf Triathlon. I love sports events. Especially running and Triathlon. So since Sunday I am even keener on getting a racing bike. It is such a good thing to have – especially in the summer. The Rhineland has so many great routes and you are quickly out of the city.
I should get one.
And you should make this salad.
Chia is a plant, native to South America, which is famous for its nutritious seeds rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Chia seeds recently became quite popular amongst health food enthusiasts. I discovered them some time ago and use them quite often instead of flax seeds in my muesli or in different kinds of smoothies. When I was in Argentina over Christmas I brought two big packs of chia seeds home. In Germany you can find them in some organic supermarkets or health food stores.
A cool thing to use chia seeds for is to make a pudding. When you soak chia seeds overnight in milk, they turn into a pudding with a consistency similar to tapioca but much much more tasty. Topped with fruits, chia pudding makes a great breakfast or dessert.
Strawberry and coconut is my delicious and refreshing chia pudding combination for this summer.
Before we left for Japan, I read that Kaiseki dinners are the pinnacle of Japanese cuisine – of course I was hooked!
The best place to experience this special type of dinner is to stay in a Ryokan in Kyoto. Ryokans are traditional Japanese guesthouses, where the rooms have a tatami flooring and sliding doors. We chose to stay at a charming Ryokan called Gion Hatanka – a calm and friendly place where we stayed for two nights.
So a Kaiseki dinner is a multi-course Japanese feast. You can say it is the counterpart to Western haute cuisine.
Traditionally it was a vegetarian meal served during tea ceremony. Nowadays it also includes fresh local meat and fish. The single dishes are beautifully presented and garnished and resemble shapes found in nature. The decoration of the food also plays with flowers and leaves. Both the ingredients used for the dinner as well as the tableware change according to the season.

The House overwhelmingly passed legislation on criminal justice Tuesday, advancing an effort to reshape federal prisons that has the backing of the Trump administration.
But after months of deliberation, a White House endorsement and a bipartisan floor vote, the First Step Act has hit a road block in the Senate, due in large part to the bill’s focus on prison policy without targeting mandatory federal sentencing rules.
The controversy over the lack of sentencing reform in the bill has underscored sharp divisions among Democrats and other advocates of sweeping criminal justice reform.
Republicans who control the Senate indicate a vote is not likely there any time soon. Instead, Senate Judiciary Chairman Chuck Grassley, an Iowa Republican, is continuing to push for the bipartisan legislation he wrote with Illinois Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin that includes sentencing reforms that the White House are opposed to.
The bill that passed the House on Tuesday would impose a series of changes to the Bureau of Prisons, including expanding access for some prisoners to programs geared at reducing recidivism, offering eligible inmates chances to earn time out of prison and solidifying federal prison rules for the treatment of women behind bars. The bill from Grassley and Durbin combines similar prison reform components with a rollback of some mandatory minimum sentence requirements that proponents say wrongfully forces judges’ hands and leads to longer than needed sentences.
Their bill passed out of committee in February. Durbin told CNN on Wednesday that he and Grassley were still “standing together” and demanded the House approach be modified to address sentencing.
Durbin said his fellow Democrats who might be inclined to accept the prison reform bill alone should instead focus on the policies that put high levels of people into prison to begin with.
“This slightly opening the exit door for those to leave prison ignores the obvious: we are filling it from the front end,” Durbin said.
As for the chances of a bill touching sentencing reform coming together in the Senate, Durbin pointed to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
“It is entirely up to McConnell,” Durbin said.
Durbin is joined in his opposition to the House bill by many of his colleagues, including California Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris and New Jersey Democratic Sen. Cory Booker, both prominent advocates of criminal justice reform who were recently seated on the judiciary committee.
“The component that is about what we do with incarcerated people and people in prisons is an important one,” Harris told CNN. “But it has to be coupled with sentencing reform, which is one of the biggest reasons that we have this mass incarceration problem, which we have as a country.”
They likewise have the backing of several prominent outside groups, including the ACLU, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights and the NAACP Legal Defense Fund.
The bill’s opponents also criticize it on the substance, with the federal correctional workers’ union reaching out to Congress urging its defeat.
Eric Young, president of the Council of Prison Locals, told CNN that some provisions in the bill would otherwise stretch the Bureau of Prisons too thin, and said in addition to sentencing reform to reduce the federal inmate population, the federal prison system needs more personnel.
“We don’t have the staff,” Young said. “We don’t have the money. If you’re going to be a hardliner on keeping people incarcerated with more sentencing, if you’re going to be a rehabilitation proponent for inmates, offenders that are incarcerated in our care, it requires resources be provided to us to fulfill whatever those mandates are.”
Similarly, Virginia Democratic Rep. Bobby Scott said on Tuesday that he had problems with the bill both on substance and the process that led to its passage, saying there are “several problems” with the legislation and that “it is obvious that experts had little to do with drafting the bill.”
Nevertheless, he came out in its favor, saying he guessed no prisoner would be left “worse off” and “many may be significantly better off.”
But the House bill has key Democrats firmly in its corner, along with its own slew of advocacy groups.
The House legislation is co-sponsored by New York Democratic Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, and its companion legislation in the Senate has the support of Rhode Island Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, who also supported the comprehensive approach.
Jeffries, speaking to reporters on Monday, said while he supported sentencing reform, the position of the Trump administration made it clear only the prisons legislation could be signed into law.
“Once we do our job and pass the First Step Act, then it will fall upon the Senate to evaluate what legislation can actually pass that chamber and be sent to the President’s desk,” Jeffries said ahead of the vote. “It’s clear that the First Step act is the bill that the White House supports and can be signed into law.”
In addition to the White House, the bill has the backing of Families Against Mandatory Minimums and #Cut50, a group co-founded by liberal CNN commentator Van Jones.
Jones has taken issue with Democrats and other advocates who have come out against the bill, saying this week that “this everything or nothing theory has failed people behind bars.”
He also accused some opponents of playing politics with the issue and said he had no problem finding himself on the same side as Trump’s son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner or the powerful Koch network, which supports the bill.
“You have some people, their political agenda is to deny Trump a win, even if that means you’re denying 200,000 federal prisoners from winning,” Jones said. “That’s a part of the calculation for some of these groups.”
‘Don’t see a bright future for it’
Grassley, Durbin and other members of the Senate Judiciary Committee huddled for several minutes on the Senate floor with McConnell on Wednesday, along with Texas GOP Sen. John Cornyn, the number two Republican and a member of the committee who is advancing legislation mirroring the House bill.
Following the huddle, Grassley said he continued to want his bill and indicated McConnell would avoid a floor debate until the impasse was nearly solved.
“I don’t think he’s gonna bring anything up unless he knows he can get it done in two or three days,” Grassley said.
Tim Scott, a Republican from South Carolina who has worked extensively in the Senate on efforts to overhaul the criminal justice system, told CNN he met with Kushner about two weeks ago and spoke with him about the House proposal, but said a key concern members have had is the fact that it does not address sentencing.
“I don’t see a bright future for it in the Senate,” Scott said of the House’s proposal.
Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Cornyn said negotiations need to produce “a bill of consensus” before a floor vote can take place.
“We need to do the hard work to build that consensus because right now we don’t have it because obviously some people want to do more – like Sen. Durbin and Sen. Grassley and some people have some questions about the prison reform bill itself,” Cornyn said. “And we need to address all of that.”
