Advisers to Pauline Hanson’s One Nation party met with representatives of the National Rifle Association in the US last year to seek funding and advice on how to loosen Australia’s gun laws. Al Jazeera has published hidden camera footage of Pauline Hanson’s chief of staff, James Ashby, and One Nation’s leader in Queensland, Steve Dickson, meeting with NRA representatives in Virginia, who explain how gun rights advocates should respond to mass shootings. Lars Dalseide, an NRA public relations adviser, told the pair they should “shame” those who call for tighter gun control laws, using talking points such as: “How dare you use their deaths to push that forward. How dare you stand on the graves of those children to put forward your political agenda?” Dalseide also recommends finding pro-gun stories of “people who were robbed, had their home invaded, were beaten or whatever it might be” and feeding them to friendly reporters.
Speaking to an undercover journalist posing as a gun industry lobbyist, Dickson sought substantial donations from the NRA, saying in the footage that “if they threw $10 million at us, we could win a fucking heaps of seats, plus a shitload” in the Senate. In the footage, Dickson says “England is being taken over by Muslims” and boasts of loosening gun laws while he was minister for sport, racing, recreation and national parks in Campbell Newman’s Liberal-National state government. “Once I found out about regulation, how easy it was, get out of my way, mate! Once you find out, mate, it’s like finding the Genie’s lamp. You just do anything. I was changing shit all the time, it was great.” Dickson also boasts of his dealmaking prowess, saying his former membership of Queensland’s parliamentary crime and misconduct committee means that “I’m never going to jail, it won’t happen because I walk the knife”. At an NRA conference in Washington, DC, Dickson says “We’ve been importing all these Muslims into Australia”, and that “they’re just breaking into people’s houses with baseball bats and killing people, stealing everything they own. Gangs. Our country’s going into chaos.” Ashby warned that One Nation’s attempts to solicit donations from the NRA should be kept secret, as “they’ll rock the fucking boat”.
New South Wales premier Gladys Berejikilian has secured majority government, giving the NSW Liberals an historic third term in power. ABC election analyst Antony Green called the seat of Dubbo for the National Party’s Dugald Sanders on Monday, giving the Berejiklian government the 47 votes it needs to command an outright majority in the state’s Legislative Assembly. State opposition leader Michael Daley said on Monday he would stand aside as Labor leader until after the federal election, when the state party would hold a leadership ballot. Daley said he would contest the ballot, where he will likely face off against Kogarah MP Chris Minns and Strathfield MP Jodi McKay.
Shelves at pharmacy chain Chemist Warehouse are emptying as a workers’ strike over low pay, poor conditions and a widespread culture of sexual harassment begins to bite. Chemist Warehouse distribution centre workers in Victoria and Queensland voted to strike earlier this month, citing rampant job casualisation, below-award wage pay and the company’s failure to effectively respond to multiple allegations of sexual harassment against employees. Picketers told Nine newspapers on Monday that they had been targeted with harassment and violence, including from truck drivers attempting to run over workers on picket lines.
And New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern has announced a royal commission of inquiry into the Christchurch terror attack. Speaking on Monday, Ardern said the commission “will look at what could have or should have been done to prevent the attack”. Ardern has been widely praised for her response to the attack, which included banning assault weapons, paying for the funerals of the attack’s 50 victims and orchestrating public displays of solidarity with New Zealand’s Muslim communities. Meanwhile, in Australia, federal Coalition MPs continued to publicly feud on Monday over whether to preference One Nation. Ten Queensland Liberal-National Party MPs have voiced a desire for their party to preference One Nation above the Greens and Labor, while member for Goldstein in Victoria, Tim Wilson, said “we should show spine, not be supine, and that means standing up to them and discrediting them at every single opportunity”.

RELEASE VALVE MECHANISM Filed May 2, 1939 INVENTOR Czitlfolc 7C ,keiley l when air is shut off, the recoil rapidity with which the air' is Patented ug.' 12, 1941 MNITED -S'IArlazs PATENT 'orifice 2,252,418 RELEASE VALVE MECHANISM Clinton Shelley, Bonners Ferry, Idaho Application May 2, 1939, Serial No. fzlhffillv 4 claim;
This invention relatesvr to improvements -in quick release valve mechanisms for fluid pressure such as air.
The device of this invention is adapted for use in connection with pile drivers, power shovels, drag lines, or any like uses wherein it is highly desirable to afford a quick release of air pressure, after it has heenl applied, so as to speed up for a renewed air application, thereby reducing delay and serving to maintain maximum capacity of the operating mechanism. n
In many instances, the source oi supply of compressed airis located at a remote point with respect to the operating mechanism, or in other words, the mechanism to be operated, and pressure is forced to exhaust throughout a considerable length of piping, thereby causing an appreciable delay of operation, as the alternate application and shuton of air citen occurs at a rate of thirty times a minute, in many forms of apparatus.
ri'his rapid alternate air inlet and exhaust device is especially adapted to iunction in the class ci apparatus above denned, and it diders essentially from the periodic application and exhaust oi air'in an air hralte system tor railroad cars or automobile -husses and freight trucks hecause of the fact that in the latter uses, the applied and exm hausted is not a primary requisite, hy reason oi the periodic and citen prolonged time at such changes occur, whereas, the present invenn tion is especially designed to function in a capac ity in which an extreme .rapidity ci? alternate application and exhaust ol air is absolutely essential to normal operation. 'in other words, in which rapidity of such alternate action is constantly the rule rather than the exception.
The invention has many other objects vand features which will loe connection with the accompanying drawing and which will be more particularly pointed out in and by the appended claims.
In the drawing- Fig. l is a sectional View of one form of my device with the parts in an operating or' nonexhaust position. V
Fig. 2 is asimilar view with'the parts in a non-operating or exhaust position.
Fig. 3 is a sectional View on line 3--3v of Fig. 2.
more iully described in Like characters vof reference designate similar parts throughout the different iigures of the drawing.
In Fig. 5, l have diagrammatically shown one of the many uses of the invention wherein a working cylinder l, having a piston 2, for actuation of any type of machinery, is shown coni nected with a fluid pressure pipe for conveying compressed air, the pipe being indicated at i, and being connected with a pressure tanlf` fl, which may be supplied with compressed air from any source, not shown. i valve t, mechanically actuated, to be alternately opened and closed, is shown relatively close to the tank il, and the device of my invention isindicated at A, as being interposed in pipe i, near the cylinder i. lin practice, the tank may be even ility feet or more from cylinder Il, and the' advantage or disposing my improved quick release valve mechanism closely adjacent the operating cylinder l, will be presently explained.
With reference to Figs. l and il, ll shall refer to the pipe li, as aninlet connection, and to a pipe li, as an outlet or recoil connection. l1 have shown a'housing l, which may he cylindrical in more exhaust ports or openings d, preferably near Fig. 4 is a fragmentary sectional view of a modified form of the invention.
- Fig. 5 is a diagrammatic view showing one use of the device as it would be connected up in practice.
the outlet connection. d. n. head il, is shown threaded on one end oi housing "i, and having threaded engagement at lli, with outlet connection t, while a similar head li, closes the remain ing end oi housing "l, and has threaded connec tion with inlet at lll. Suitahle packing ill and lll is provided, as may he dictated hy mechanical skill, and it will he understood that the capacity or the exhaust ports il, will 'ce proportioned to accommodate the desired rate of exhaust, with rei'erence to the capacity of the inlet and outlet connections, in order that the rate oi exhaust shall effectively meet requirements, all of which is amatter of designing.
Reference will next be made to my improved release piston and to the means'whereby the saine is `actuated to be moved, or in this instance, reciprocated into different positions in the housing.
As shown, the piston .is formed of a shell having a longitudinal section i3, which Ais cylindrical, to slidably iit the interior of housing l, and this shell is sufficiently short in length, with respect to the length of the housing, to permit the shell to reciprocate therein. Said shelll is provided with a head I4', which functions to control the exhaust ports 8, by either closing or opening the same, and said head has-a bore l5,
in constant communication with the outlet connection 6. I have shown the remaining end of said shell provided with a valve seat section I6, which may have threaded connection with said shell, as indicated at a ange I8, affording a means for engaging an interposed packing I9. Said seat section is provided with a valve seat 20, and has a bore 2|, that is in constant communication with the inlet connection 3. As the interior 22, of shell I3, is hollow, it will now be clear that with the bores I and 2|. I have provided the piston with a continuous passage bore affording a flow therethrough of uid pressure from the inlet connection 3, to the outlet connection 6, and for reverse ,passage of recoil pressure from outlet 6, into said bore, as shown by arrows in Figs. 1 and 2.
Reference will next be made to my improved piston actuator which is herein shown in the form of a valve closure adapted to coact with valve seat 20.
Said closure is indicated at 23, and is provided with a closure portion 24, adapted to engage said seat 20. Said closure 23, is provided with guiding means whereby it will be maintained in alinement with said seat 20, when moving toward or away from said seat, and as shown,
I have provided said closure with guiding portions that are peripherally arranged to engage shell I3, as indicated at 25. ing portions, 25, the closure is peripherally recessed at 26, to provide a plurality of by-pass ports for passage of the pressure fluid past said closure when t`r 1. same is un-seated.
The valve seat section I6, is provided with a' port closing face 21, surrounding seat 20, for closing said by-pass ports 26, when closure 23, is seated, as shown in Fig. 2. Said closure 23, is provided with a spring retaining boss 28, for holding an expansively acting spring 29, in interposed relation between said closure 23, and a portion of the bore passage,.which, as shown, is a shoulder 30. The end of boss 28, and the upper face of the closure 23, constitute a recoil pressure face 3|, and the remaining side will be designated as the inlet pressure face 32. While spring 29, normally acts to seat closure 23, it will be of insufcient strength so to do, as the closure must be seated or moved toward and into engagement with seat 20, against the incoming flow of pressure fluid, and the incapacity of spring 29, to seat the closure, under certain conditions, is a feature to be later described. The spring 29, functions as a means to limit unseating movement of the closure and to shift the piston into an exhaust closing position.
Because of 4the rapidity with which the piston is shifted from exhaust closing to opening positions, and vice versa, I may provide a cushioning spring 33, between head I I, and one end of the piston to cushion the movement of said piston, however, in actual practice, I have successfully operated the device without this spring.
In order to render the opposed faces 3| and 32, more effective, I have shown the bore |5 diverging endwise of the piston and likewise, bore 2|, to thus reduce the end areas of the piston, and hence, to a major extent, both the recoil and the incoming pressure will be localized against the opposite pressure faces of the elosure.
Reference will next be made to the modied form shown in Fig. 4.
In this form, al1 the parts are the same as in the preferred form, and have the same refer- Between these guidence numerals except the closure 34. I have shown this closure'provided with the same guiding portions and by-pass ports, 35 and 36, respectively, as in the preferred form but have omitted boss 28, and the spring 29. I have4 shown one pressure face 31, flat, and have provided stops 38, xed to shell I3, for limting endwise movement of closure 34, toward the outlet end of the device when said closure is shifted into a passage'I opening position, as shown in Fig. 4. The remaining or incoming pressure face 39, being the same as in the preferred form. As will later appear, both the spring 29, and the stops 36. broadly function as a piston shifting means, only the spring has the advantage of shifting the piston yieldingly.
While the operation may be clear from the foregoing, I will briey recapitulate the same as follows:
Assuming that the device is in the exhaust opening position shown in Fig. 2, with the closure 23 seated to close the bore passage, and the valve 5 closed, it will be clear that the exhaust ports 8 are fully open. Now suppose the valve 5, is opened, then the incoming pressure through connection 3, will first enter the bore passage and will engage the pressure face 32, of closure 23. Since this pressure uid acts with full force almost instantly, and since spring 29, is not strong enough to maintain the closure 23 seated `against the incoming pressure, the resulting thrust will almost instantly act through spring 29, to.not only un-seat said closure but also to shift the piston from the exhaust opening position shown in Fig. 2, to Ithe exhaust closing position shown in Fig. 1.
It is immaterial to the efficiency of the device, whether the incoming pressure shifts the piston before or after it un-seats the closure .23, since the main oilice of spring 29, is to act upon the piston, specifically, shoulder 30, thereof, to shift the piston into the Fig. 1 position, whereupon the spring will be placed under tension and will limit movement ofthe closure 23, endwise, beyond the approximate position shown in Fig. 1, as further opening movement of said closure is unnecessary. In any event, the spring 29, will function to yieldingly shift the piston and cushion the shock of impact of the'latter against head 9, of the housing. This is important, since the rapid movement of the piston causes shattering and considerable wear on the housing.
The incoming pressure will thus constantly engage face 32, of closure 23, and will be diverted thereby into the by-pass ports 26, flowing past closure 23, and endwise of the bore passage into outlet connection 6, and then to the parts to be actuated. As long as incoming pressure continues, the parts will be in the position shown in Fig. 1, and of course there will be a considerable pressure beyond the device, which may be termed the actuating pressure that might be disposed in cylinder I, for instance.
Now when valve 5, is shutoff, it is highly desirable to quickly relieve the actuated parts from this accumulated pressure, as otherwise, operations will be very greatly retarded. Thus when valve 6, is closed, this reduces the pressure on one side of the piston, namely, the valve seat end, and consequently, the actuating or accumulated pressure will instantly recoil from said outlet connection 6, back into the bore passage of the piston and into engagement with the recoil pressure face 3|, of closure 23, as shown by the arrow in Fig. 2. Of course, spring 29, will have seated closure 23, just as soon as pressure in the Ivalve seat end of the piston has been reduced.
Thus, recoil pressure will almost instantly act against pressure face 3|, and shift the piston into the exhaust opening position shown in Fig. 2, as such pressure will instantly seat the closurev and hence it can act on a rigid structure. quickly exhaust the recoil pressure through ports 8, and of course no ldust can enter housing 1, while exhaust is taking place, and when exhaust is not taking place, there is no circulation that would permit entrance of dust. In fact, the alternate movement of the piston is .so -rapid tha no dust problem is involved.
If it is not desired to employ spring 29,` the closure 34, of Fig. 4, will function in all other re- This will' exhaust p01.ta release piston slidable in said housing for controlling said port and having a passage bore for passage therethrough of pressure fluid from said inlet to said outlet connection, a piston actuating valve closure slidably guided in said bore in 'clearance relation therefrom and having oppositely disposed. pressure engageable faces for causing shifting movement of said pis- 4 ton into exhaust closing or opening positions,
spects in precisely the same manner except that I the yielding action of the spring will be missing. However, closure 34, will be as effective in shifting the piston into an exhaust closing position, and the recoil action will almost instantly seat the closure andshift the piston into an exhaust opening position. The spring 33, will cushion the impact of the piston in the latter movement.
Lubrication of the parts is effected by the drip oil supply usually applied at the compressor.
Now it will be clear that I have avoided all' said bore having a valve seat for coaction with said closure to close said bore when said closure is seated, and an expansively acting spring interposed between said closure and a portion of said bore for seating said closure while recoil pressure on one face acts to shift said piston into an exhaust opening position when incoming pressure is reduced, and said spring engaging and yieldingly shifting said piston into an exhaust closing position when incoming pressure on the remaining face of said closure un-seats the latter and opens said bore.

One Week Left For Submissions to Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights Short Film Competition
A couple of weeks ago we mentioned a great opportunity for you struggling filmmakers out there, that being Universal Studios Hollywood's Halloween Horror Nights Short Film Competition. And I'm sure many of you jumped right up and got your favorite work submitted for the contest. This article is not for you.
This one is mainly for our Spanish speaking fans out there, but you gringos can watch along to the non-English subtitled international trailer for the upcoming terror tale Intruders. Intuders stars Clive Owen (pictured below courtesy of Aullidos), Daniel Brühl, Carice Van Houten, Pilar López de Ayala, Ella Purnell, Izan Corchero, and Kerry Fox.
The first details concerning Universal's sort of follow-up to the disaster that was their recent Wolfman reimagining, Louis Morneau's Werewolf, are here. Read on for the details.
This October ... after standing in line for god knows how long ... visitors to Universal's annual Halloween Horror Nights will finally get to find out just who is human. Read on for details. From the Press Release
UPDATED: San Diego Comic-Con 2011: Werewolf Scribe Michael Tabb and Film Artist Benton Jew Added to Monsterverse Panel on Friday (July 22)
We got word today that a pretty interesting addition has been made to the "Monsterverse Horror Comics Ate My Brain" panel being held at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday, July 22nd: Werewolf screenwriter Michael Tabb.
Attention All Aspiring Directors! Halloween Horror Nights Short Film Competition Wants to See Your Worst
Making your own horror film. The dream of every fan. And we all know we've tried it on some level when growing up, mostly succeeding only in staining our clothes with some kind of red food coloring concoction used to represent the gore we ogled in our favorite films.
So Universal planned a sequel to The Wolfman until the expensive remake didn’t exactly light the world on fire. Then word came that the sequel script was being reworked into a stand-alone movie tentatively titled Werewolf. Now we know who will step in for Joe Johnston for this non-sequel sorta reboot.
The last we heard about the proposed remake of the cult classic Oldboy, it was put out to pasture and not happening. Now a few months later news has come that it wasn't as dead as we originally had thought.
We know that you're excited about seeing the Jurassic Park trilogy on Blu-ray high definition in a few months, and we don't blame you one bit! The prospect of seeing The Lost World: Jurassic Park II's gymnastics sequence in full 1080p is just too good to resist! How about a trailer to further whet your appetite? From the Press Release
Finally! All of the speculation is over. The moment dinosaur fans have been waiting for has arrived! The Jurassic Park trilogy is on its way to Blu-ray high definition, and we have every single detail ready and waiting for you right here! From the Press Release
That's right, kids! Providing those pesky Mayans are wrong with all of their 2012 tomfoolery, you can officially mark off a date for the Robert Schwentke-directed supernatural comedy R.I.P.D. based on the Peter Lenkov comic.
While we're still of the mindset that nothing made by Parker Brothers can actually contact the dead on the other side, we're still really interested in seeing just where the hell a movie based upon a board game is going to go.

It wasn’t the ideal opening weekend for the Rangers. Losing three out of four at home to the division rival Houston Astros isn’t the start that most would have liked, but it’s not too far off from what most expected, sadly. Now the team gets to head out on the road for the first time this season as they ready for a four game series in the Bay Area against the Oakland Athletics.
Not that this was ever in doubt, but Bartolo Colon is officially listed as tomorrow's starter against the Athletics.
— Jared Sandler (@SandlerJ) April 1, 2018
Projected starting pitchers and series schedule
Monday, 9:05 CT: Bartolo Colon RHP (season debut) vs. Andrew Tiggs RHP (season debut)
Tuesday, 9:05 CT: Cole Hamels (0-1, 4.76 ERA) vs. Kendall Graveman (0-0, 9.0 ERA)
Wednesday, 9:05 CT: Doug Fister (1-0, 1.80 ERA) vs. Sean Manaea (0-1, 1.17 ERA)
Thursday, 2:35 CT: Martin Perez (season debut) vs. Daniel Mengden (0-1, 7.94 ERA)
A pair of Rangers pitchers will be making their season debut in this series as Bartolo Colon will be called-up from Triple A Round Rock for Monday’s game and Martin Perez will be activated off the 10 day disabled list to make his first start on Thursday afternoon. These two being inserted into the starting rotation will provide fans their first chance to see the six-man rotation the coaching staff warned us about this season. Matt Moore and Mike Minor will be the first starters to try to pitch on six days of rest as their next starts get pushed back to Friday and Saturday when Texas returns home later this week for a weekend series with the Toronto Blue Jays.
Opening weekend saw the Rangers quickly suffer their first major injury of the year as Delino DeShields went on the disabled list after fracturing a hamate bone in his left hand during an at-bat on Friday night. Who else had never heard of a hamate bone before this? In DeShield’s absence so far, manager Jeff Banister has used Carlos Tocci and Drew Robinson as the starting center fielders so far. Robinson showed a bit more at the plate as he hit a solo home run in Sunday’s 8-2 loss to the Astros. If the Rangers had to pick a position that they’d least like to lose someone to injury, it was definitely center field. With tons of “depth” in the corner outfield spots, Texas knows it probably doesn’t have its long-term answer in center field on its current roster. Maybe one of the fill-ins will take advantage of this opportunity and open some eyes.
The A’s hosted the Los Angeles Angels to open the season and were the first team to get a regular season taste of the Shohei Ohtani experience over the weekend. He was in the lineup on Opening Day and notched a hit in his first at-bat, but he looked solid in his first career start during Sunday’s 7-4 Angels win.
The Rangers should fear A’s slugger Khris Davis as his 18 homers in 37 career games against Texas are the most he has against any other opponent in Major League Baseball. The Rangers should also dread playing in Oakland as their 1-8 record there in 2017 would suggest. Former Athletic Bartolo Colon will get the first crack at righting the ship at 9:05 Monday night in Oakland.

HAS become the second United Kingdom city to issue a temporary ban on crapsicab company Uber.
The ride-hailing app, which is now attempting to overturn a licence ban in London, can appeal the decision after 18 December once the ban comes into place.
Uber blamed its failure to respond to Sheffield City Council on an "administrative error", adding it had submitted an application for a new licence on 16 October which is still being processed.
It was determined to be "not fit and proper" to operate by Transport for London.
Uber said the suspension was the result of an "administrative error" which it hoped "can be resolved quickly".

Fort LP Sells 346908 Shares of H&R Block, Inc. (HRB)
Teachers Retirement System of The State of Kentucky increased its position in H & R Block by 4.3% in the fourth quarter. It has outperformed by 10.53% the S&P500.The move comes after 6 months positive chart setup for the $5.98B company.
Bharti Airtel, Intex tie up for new smartphones
All devices are Android powered and offer full access to all apps on Google Play Store, including YouTube, Facebook and WhatsApp. Running on Android 7.0 Nougat, the smartphone is powered by a slightly more powerful 1.3GHz MTK processor along with 1GB of RAM.
Sheffield city council has said that the law doesn't allow for a license to transfer to a different name.
Uber will be allowed to operate until December 18th, and further will be allowed to continue if it appeals the suspension (which, let's face it, it will).
It is understood that Uber was already applying for a new licence instead under the name Uber Britannia Limited and that is being considered. Sheffield City Council is standing firm, though, while its licensing department assesses the new application.
This is yet another blow to Uber as it struggles to properly deal with authorities. Uber has appealed the decision and a first hearing is expected to take place on December 11th.
Sheffield's ruling follows a similar decision made by London's transport regulator, which proposed Uber be banned from the capital because of safety concerns.


Today we would like to report a Windows Update error 80240442 , which can occur again and again. We currently had this error on a Windows Server 2012 R2 , but it can just as easily occur on a Windows 10, 8.1 or Windows 7 . Below is the original error message from update error code 80240442 .
Check third-party software
First you should check whether you have installed third -party software from the areas of security software (anti-malware, firewall), backup software , tuning programs or encryption programs such as Bitlocker, Truecrypt etc. This software can intervene in the Windows update process and lead to the described error message 80240442 .
In this case, you should, if possible, deactivate the software, switch it off or stop the corresponding services. You can then test whether these programs are possibly the cause of the update problem.
In general, you should check whether the services that are necessary for the Windows Update function are all started. These are the services
WUAUSERV (Windows Update)
CryptSvc (Cryptographic Service)
Bits (Intelligent Background Service)
If they are all started, please stop all services that do not belong to Windows or that do not come from Microsoft. The easiest way to do this is via MSCONFIG , because there you can deactivate these services very quickly.
Reset Windows Update components
If none of this has worked so far, you still have to reset the Windows Update components. This works as follows by calling all of the following commands in an MS-DOS command prompt that you started with administrator rights.
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver
ren C: Windows SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.BAC
ren C: Windows System32 catroot2 catroot2.BAC
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver
As a result, the Windows update “memory” is completely emptied and all pending Windows updates are completely reloaded from scratch. The update error code 80240442 should then no longer occur.
If you are interested in further bug fixes from the Windows Update , we recommend the following posts.
– Windows Update error code 803D000A
– 0x80096004 error message with Windows 10 Update
– 0xC1900101 – 0x20017 Windows 10 could not be installed

Eminem released his eighth studio album, The Marshall Mathers LP 2, four years ago and has remained relatively quiet on the new-music-front since then, but will 2017 mark the year he returns with his ninth? According to his former collaborator Stat Quo, Em is hard at work on new music in Los Angeles (via HipHopDX).
Besides putting out his own explosive tracks with no necessary features, Eminem has collaborated with several big names over the course of his career, like Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Akon and more. Here are five artists he should consider for his next project.
Longtime friends, the two have collaborated together on several tracks, including “Crack a Bottle” (also featuring Dr. Dre) and “Psycho,” and they even went so far as to create superhero alter-egos called Gatman and Robbin’. They haven’t released a track together since 50 Cent featured Em and Adam Levine on “My Life” in 2012, and it’s about time they did.
As the producer who helped bring the relatively unknown Detroit rapper into the spotlight, it’d be fitting if they teamed up yet again for a new track. Both have grown in big ways since their 2015 collaboration “Medicine Man” off Dre’s album Compton, and it’s time to deliver up something big for the new year. They’ve unleashed their sharp tongues before and the present is ripe for skewering.
Mixing rap with rock yields a potent product, and since Imagine Dragons have already collaborated with Kendrick Lamar (a rapper Eminem greatly admires), it seems fitting they could partner with Eminem on a track. Between the band’s rhythmic sensibilities, lead singer Dan Reynolds’ vocals and Em’s verses, this partnership would be unstoppable.
Staples made a big name for himself between his 2015 and 2016 releases, Summertime ’06 and Prima Donna, and would be an ideal fit for Eminem’s new album. Eminem likes to put newer rappers through their paces to prove themselves, so it seems fairly certain he’d challenge Staples in some way before working with him, but if his track “Love Game” with Kendrick Lamar was any indication, he and Staples would be a surefire hit together.
Lana Del Rey
Besides working with other rappers, Eminem has teamed up with singers in the past–like Rihanna and Dido–for moody and powerful tracks that oscillate between rap’s spoken meter and pop/R&B’s soulful performance. With her woozy voice and devil-may-care attitude, Del Rey could make for an interesting pairing with the outspoken rapper. Both would hold their own against the other and create something memorable.

A movie written entirely by late rapper Tupac Shakur may be in theaters next year.
Woooha.com reports that Live 2 Tell has a tentative 2010 release date. Right now, Insomnia Productions have the movie rights; they’re the company behind HBO’s dramatic series “Rome.”
Pac wrote the screenplay back in 1995 while he was in prison serving time for sexual assault charges. The script centers on an embattled young man who winds up becoming his city’s biggest kingpin. After a while, he wants to get out of the game because the role weighs heavily on his conscience.
But don’t get it twisted: Live 2 Tell is not the Tupac biopic that’s currently the subject of a heated court battle.
The script has been making its way around Hollywood since 2005 (Tupac’s mom, Afeni Shakur, shopped it around for a bit), and there’s been buzz about its production since 2007.

Leaving the EU means, for the first time in over 40 years, we will from next March be able to sign and ratify new trade deals. We are currently party to about 40 international trade agreements and are committed to securing continuity of those agreements. We have also established 14 trade working groups in major markets to explore the best ways of developing new trade and investment relationships post Brexit.
I thank my right hon. Friend for that answer. He will know, as I do, that international regulatory standards are what fuel international trade. For the continuation of those deals and opportunities, does he agree that regulatory alignment will be necessary to secure the best British deals post Brexit?
As my hon. Friend will know, we have some good news for him about the implementation period. The UK will be party to those deals up to the end of December 2020. He is also right that there is a very important read-across between what is agreed with the EU on standards, rules of origin and so on. Our commitment remains absolute to have high standards and to encourage the use of broad international global standards of the highest quality.
As I say, up to the end of 2020, the UK will remain party to those agreements as they stand. We are also putting in significant efforts to make sure that the substance of those agreements rolls over beyond that. That is why we have signed memorandums of understanding with, for example, the South African Development Community—the South African customs area—CARIFORUM and the eastern and southern African economic partnership agreement group. That is work that is making good progress.

Prior to your appointment you should practice your breathing, and focus on the benefits of the treatment that you are about to undergo. It can be tempting to skip your appointment, but even a small cavity can quickly escalate into more serious decay and tooth loss. Focusing on just how important it is to maintain good dental health can give you more confidence in your ability to tackle any nervousness that you are faced with.
Remember that when you have an open discussion with your dentist, it can lead to your feeling confident in your dentist’s ability to address and help you through your concerns about treatment.
Aftercare can often play just as an important role in your dental fears as any other type of self-care you embark on. Quite often patients have had bad at-home experiences with pain or bleeding after procedures, and this can lead to being nervous about any future dental work. Be sure to discuss these concerns with your dentist. Keep up with post-procedure instructions, and call the office if you find that you are in more discomfort than you should be.
Delaying your treatment will help you to cope with your nervousness. However, it won’t help you to resolve dental issues that can escalate and lead to loss of tooth, or the loss of bone. Working together we can keep your smile healthy, and help to ensure you are comfortable during every appointment.

The brief shutdown in Washington came at a sensitive time for financial markets, with world stock markets diving in the past week. Rand Paul, R-Ky., who delayed the Senate vote past midnight to mark his opposition to an estimated $320 billion addition to the federal budget deficit. That’s when Congress passed massive stimulus legislation to try to stabilize a down-spiraling economy.
Government funding lapsed just after midnight on Thursday evening after Sen. This will undoubtedly anger many conservative voters throughout the nation who worked tirelessly to give Republicans control of the House in 2010 and the Senate in 2014. Rand Paul prevented the deal from passing Thursday ahead of a shutdown deadline.
The Kentucky Republican took the floor to blast the increase in federal spending limits, and in particular the fiscal irresponsibility of his own party. The President tweeted that “we were forced to increase spending on things we do not like or want”.
Because, Ornstein said, the budget was really the product of Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney, the former South Carolina GOP congressman who was a founding member of the ultra-conservative tea party caucus in Congress – not Trump whom he said would rather cut deals and build projects despite his calls to “drain the swamp”.
The Republican Party was once known for fiscal conservatism, but congressional Republicans and Trump are now quickly expanding the USA budget deficit and its $20 trillion national debt. Senator John Cornyn, too, appeared incensed, calling the stunt “grossly irresponsible”. The closure is likely to end up being brief and having only a slight impact on federal workers and the public.
The bill does nothing on immigration. She’s been linking a spending deal to protection for Dreamers practically from the moment Trump began the clock ticking on DACA last September. But that will only happen if the House passes the continuing resolution later Friday morning.
On Sept. 5, President Trump terminated the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, the Obama-era initiative that has protected almost 800,000 of them from deportation. They did not like his focus on their embarrassing spending habits. He also wants reductions in legal immigration, including limiting the relatives whom legal residents can sponsor and eliminating a lottery that offers visas to residents of diverse countries. “Sadly, we needed some Dem votes for passage”.
Republican Representative Kristi Noem said she voted against the bill because it raises non-defence spending and extends the federal borrowing authority.
Democrats hold an 11-point lead over Republicans on a generic House ballot, according to a new poll from Marist. “I think it’s important that we have this debate”, he said. “I’m greatly disappointed that the Speaker does not have the courage to lift the shadow of fear from the lives of these inspiring young people”. The budget deal approved by Congress matters a lot to the Pentagon, and for domestic programs for opioids, health centers and research funding.
The House rushed to approve its version, wrapping up the vote just after 5:30 a.m. President Donald Trump signed the bill three hours later, reopening the government. Trump defended the deal, but said it contained “much waste in order to get Dem votes”. The bill McConnell chose was unrelated to immigration, after he had said he planned to use a separate bill for the debate.

A Night At The Family Dog (1970), Go Ride The Music and West Pole (1969)
Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead and Santana
Studio: Mercury Studios
Release Date: May 12, 2023
Baby boomers, if you wish to experience a true musical/visual flashback to the good ol’ days, then you will want to watch A Night At The Family Dog, Go Ride The Music and West Pole. The resulting flashback is great because it happens without all of the nasty neurological messiness of a real flashback.
Mercury Studios has released A Night At The Family Dog (1970), Go Ride The Music and West Pole (1969), three psychedelic trips down memory lane, on May 12 as a 2 DVD package, complete with new artwork and ‘60s-styled poster. All three films were originally produced and created as groundbreaking television documentaries by Ralph J. Gleason [1917-1975] who did more than any other journalist to hip the world to what was shakin’ in San Francisco in the late ‘60s.
A Night At The Family Dog held on February 4, 1970, featured the brightest three lights of the Bay Area, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead and Santana. These three bands would define a scene that had the whole world wondering what exactly was going on in the Haight-Ashbury section of San Francisco. A Night At The Family Dog starts with two iconic Santana performances before Grateful Dead covers Otis Redding. Jefferson Airplane then splits the club wide open with their patented incendiary and provocative performance style. And when Carlos Santana, Jerry Garcia, Jorma Kaukonen, Jack Casady and Paul Kantner kick out the jams to end it all, all hell breaks loose. The original mono recording has been remixed and remastered.
The San Francisco Sound, as it became to be known, was a montage of shrieking guitars and bold now-classic Acid Rock. Go Ride The Music is a stunning document of Jefferson Airplane and Quicksilver Messenger Service (a band destined for stardom who short-circuited their own success). There are also cameo appearances from David Crosby and Jerry Garcia.
West Pole captures the magnetic attraction of musicians who provoked the establishment enough to create national news. Gleason knew it. And via his writings, eventually so did the rest of America. Here’s a chance to witness first-hand the birth of a culture: Steve Miller Band, Jefferson Airplane, Grateful Dead, Quicksilver Messenger Service and others.
Those born too late to experience first-hand just what made this city at this time so significant will finally understand. Even Beatle George Harrison had to visit from England to see what the fuss was all about. It was a time of wild experimentation. Poetry, music, film, journalism, sex, drugs and political activism shared the spotlight as American Culture itself began to shapeshift into forms heretofore unknown.

WASHINGTON (AP) — A former diplomat and television commentator is expected to be nominated as the United States' ambassador to Germany.
Richard Grenell is President Donald Trump's choice for the post, according to a person with knowledge of the expected nomination. That person requested anonymity to discuss a matter before it was announced.
A White House spokeswoman said Wednesday that nothing official was finalized.
Grenell was a long-serving spokesman for the United States at the United Nations during former President George W. Bush's administration. He also appears as a foreign affairs commentator on Fox News Channel.
He would be the first openly LGBT ambassador nominee for Trump.
The Berlin posting is a high-profile assignment as observers closely scrutinize relations between Trump and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Essay competition turns power of the pen against praedial larceny
The Praedial Larceny Prevention Unit (PLPU) is ramping up its public-education campaign as it seeks to ensure that Jamaican farmers reap what they grow. As part of the campaign, the PLPU, on Tuesday, launched its inaugural essay competition targeting students at the primary and secondary levels.
The launch was held at the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture and Fisheries' Hope Gardens headquarters in St Andrew.
In his address at the event, Minister without Portfolio J.C. Hutchinson said that tackling praedial larceny was critical to the development of the agricultural sector in Jamaica.
"Praedial larceny is one of those areas that have threatened the growth of the sector. On a weekly basis, we hear of incidents of animals and farm produce being stolen, therefore, I welcome this initiative by the PLPU to highlight the plight of farmers," he said.
Providing an overview of the competition, praedial larceny prevention coordinator, Trudy-Ann Edwards, explained that the main objectives of the competition are to sensitise students, parents and teachers to the negative impact of farm theft on Jamaica's economy and to engage rural communities in the fight against the scourge.
LASCO Top Cop for 2016/17, Corporal Kimaryo Pinnock, who brought greetings on behalf of the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF), said the issue of praedial larceny has far-reaching implications locally and internationally.
OPERATION TIDAL WAVE
He noted that Commissioner of Police Dr Carl Williams has launched critical strategies to address the scourge, including Operation Tidal Wave, which will see an increase in policing of town centres, markets, shopping malls and other public areas.
The competition is open to students across Jamaica, and attractive prizes will be awarded to the winner and second and third-placed finishers in each category.
The essay must be an original work written in standard English, and applicants are asked to submit the material along with a completed application form and passport-size photograph.
The application forms can be downloaded from the ministry's website at www.moa.gov.jm.

MON PAUVRE CHER PETIT, (Mrs. Crawley wrote)
I could not sleep ONE WINK for thinking of what had become of my odious old monstre, and only got to rest in the morning after sending for Mr. Blench (for I was in a fever), who gave me a composing draught and left orders with Finette that I should be disturbed ON NO ACCOUNT. So that my poor old man's messenger, who had bien mauvaise mine Finette says, and sentoit le Genievre, remained in the hall for some hours waiting my bell. You may fancy my state when I read your poor dear old ill-spelt letter.
Ill as I was, I instantly called for the carriage, and as soon as I was dressed (though I couldn't drink a drop of chocolate — I assure you I couldn't without my monstre to bring it to me), I drove ventre a terre to Nathan's. I saw him — I wept — I cried — I fell at his odious knees. Nothing would mollify the horrid man. He would have all the money, he said, or keep my poor monstre in prison. I drove home with the intention of paying that triste visite chez mon oncle (when every trinket I have should be at your disposal though they would not fetch a hundred pounds, for some, you know, are with ce cher oncle already), and found Milor there with the Bulgarian old sheep-faced monster, who had come to compliment me upon last night's performances. Paddington came in, too, drawling and lisping and twiddling his hair; so did Champignac, and his chef — everybody with foison of compliments and pretty speeches — plaguing poor me, who longed to be rid of them, and was thinking every moment of the time of mon pauvre prisonnier.
When they were gone, I went down on my knees to Milor; told him we were going to pawn everything, and begged and prayed him to give me two hundred pounds. He pish'd and psha'd in a fury — told me not to be such a fool as to pawn — and said he would see whether he could lend me the money. At last he went away, promising that he would send it me in the morning: when I will bring it to my poor old monster with a kiss from his affectionate
I am writing in bed. Oh I have such a headache and such a heartache!
When Rawdon read over this letter, he turned so red and looked so savage that the company at the table d'hote easily perceived that bad news had reached him. All his suspicions, which he had been trying to banish, returned upon him. She could not even go out and sell her trinkets to free him. She could laugh and talk about compliments paid to her, whilst he was in prison. Who had put him there? Wenham had walked with him. Was there.... He could hardly bear to think of what he suspected. Leaving the room hurriedly, he ran into his own — opened his desk, wrote two hurried lines, which he directed to Sir Pitt or Lady Crawley, and bade the messenger carry them at once to Gaunt Street, bidding him to take a cab, and promising him a guinea if he was back in an hour.
In the note he besought his dear brother and sister, for the sake of God, for the sake of his dear child and his honour, to come to him and relieve him from his difficulty. He was in prison, he wanted a hundred pounds to set him free — he entreated them to come to him.
He went back to the dining-room after dispatching his messenger and called for more wine. He laughed and talked with a strange boisterousness, as the people thought. Sometimes he laughed madly at his own fears and went on drinking for an hour, listening all the while for the carriage which was to bring his fate back.
At the expiration of that time, wheels were heard whirling up to the gate — the young janitor went out with his gate-keys. It was a lady whom he let in at the bailiff's door.
"Colonel Crawley," she said, trembling very much. He, with a knowing look, locked the outer door upon her — then unlocked and opened the inner one, and calling out, "Colonel, you're wanted," led her into the back parlour, which he occupied.
Rawdon came in from the dining-parlour where all those people were carousing, into his back room; a flare of coarse light following him into the apartment where the lady stood, still very nervous.
"It is I, Rawdon," she said in a timid voice, which she strove to render cheerful. "It is Jane." Rawdon was quite overcome by that kind voice and presence. He ran up to her — caught her in his arms — gasped out some inarticulate words of thanks and fairly sobbed on her shoulder. She did not know the cause of his emotion.
The bills of Mr. Moss were quickly settled, perhaps to the disappointment of that gentleman, who had counted on having the Colonel as his guest over Sunday at least; and Jane, with beaming smiles and happiness in her eyes, carried away Rawdon from the bailiff's house, and they went homewards in the cab in which she had hastened to his release. "Pitt was gone to a parliamentary dinner," she said, "when Rawdon's note came, and so, dear Rawdon, I — I came myself"; and she put her kind hand in his. Perhaps it was well for Rawdon Crawley that Pitt was away at that dinner. Rawdon thanked his sister a hundred times, and with an ardour of gratitude which touched and almost alarmed that soft-hearted woman. "Oh," said he, in his rude, artless way, "you — you don't know how I'm changed since I've known you, and — and little Rawdy. I — I'd like to change somehow. You see I want — I want — to be — " He did not finish the sentence, but she could interpret it. And that night after he left her, and as she sat by her own little boy's bed, she prayed humbly for that poor way-worn sinner.
Rawdon left her and walked home rapidly. It was nine o'clock at night. He ran across the streets and the great squares of Vanity Fair, and at length came up breathless opposite his own house. He started back and fell against the railings, trembling as he looked up. The drawing-room windows were blazing with light. She had said that she was in bed and ill. He stood there for some time, the light from the rooms on his pale face.
He took out his door-key and let himself into the house. He could hear laughter in the upper rooms. He was in the ball-dress in which he had been captured the night before. He went silently up the stairs, leaning against the banisters at the stair-head. Nobody was stirring in the house besides — all the servants had been sent away. Rawdon heard laughter within — laughter and singing. Becky was singing a snatch of the song of the night before; a hoarse voice shouted "Brava! Brava!" — it was Lord Steyne's.
Rawdon opened the door and went in. A little table with a dinner was laid out — and wine and plate. Steyne was hanging over the sofa on which Becky sat. The wretched woman was in a brilliant full toilette, her arms and all her fingers sparkling with bracelets and rings, and the brilliants on her breast which Steyne had given her. He had her hand in his, and was bowing over it to kiss it, when Becky started up with a faint scream as she caught sight of Rawdon's white face. At the next instant she tried a smile, a horrid smile, as if to welcome her husband; and Steyne rose up, grinding his teeth, pale, and with fury in his looks.
He, too, attempted a laugh — and came forward holding out his hand. "What, come back! How d'ye do, Crawley?" he said, the nerves of his mouth twitching as he tried to grin at the intruder.
There was that in Rawdon's face which caused Becky to fling herself before him. "I am innocent, Rawdon," she said; "before God, I am innocent." She clung hold of his coat, of his hands; her own were all covered with serpents, and rings, and baubles. "I am innocent. Say I am innocent," she said to Lord Steyne.
