WNBA Legend Diana Taurasi & PayPal President and CEO Dan Schulman discussed the social injustice issues in society and their commitment to fight for equality
As the battle against social injustice continues every day in the United States and around the world, it is now more important than ever to take a stand and speak out for what you believe in. The Phoenix Mercury and PayPal have teamed up yet again as the greatest female basketball player of all-time, Diana Taurasi, and the President and CEO of a billion-dollar organization, Dan Schulman, joined forces to preach equality for all and provide a voice for the voiceless.
Last week, Schulman invited Taurasi onto his Never Stand Still podcast to discuss everything from her legendary career to her relationship with the late legend, Kobe Bryant. While the overall arching theme may have been basketball, the two dove deeper into the importance of using their elevated platforms to fight against the issues of injustice that many are facing.
These discussions regarding race, gender, sexual orientation and equality for all have been pushed to the forefront of society lately, but this battle is nothing new for Schulman and Taurasi.
Since taking over as the President and CEO of PayPal in 2014, Schulman has shown his commitment to social change in many ways, including identifying and closing his company’s pay gaps across gender and race, opening a $500 million long-term economic opportunity fund to support black and underrepresented minority businesses and communities, and providing $10 million in grants to black-owned businesses impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic or civil unrest.
The Mercury proudly wear the PayPal logo over their heart on their jerseys as both organizations demonstrate these shared values and speak out for those in need. As for Taurasi specifically, her desire to stand up for equality comes from her family and dates back to before she was even born.
“We’re an immigrant family,” Taurasi said on the podcast. “We came over from Argentina in the 1970s. They came to the U.S. with pretty much nothing. They came with their bags, a couple of pieces of clothes and that was it. I think just the fabric of how they came here kind of resonated with my sister and I.”
Taurasi gained invaluable lessons from her family’s struggles which have helped shape and mold her own philosophies, impacting her life greatly on and off the court.
“Working hard, making sure you show up every day on time,” Taurasi said. “Those little things to me are really, really important. I think that shows a lot of character and I just never thought of myself as being better than anyone else. From an early age, I was around a lot of good people, a lot of good friends.”
As a three-time WNBA Champion, three-time NCAA Champion and a four-time Olympic Gold Medalist, if there is one thing Taurasi knows, it’s how to win. In these victories, she’s noticed that the most successful teams were often the ones who embraced each other’s differences.
“A lot of times you think that it’s the similarities that would bring you together, but the more I play and the more I’m around different groups of people – from playing in Russia and Turkey, in college and the WNBA – it’s how do you accept people’s differences?,” Taurasi said. “How can you meet in the middle? Not everyone approaches business the same way. Not everyone approaches the game the same way. So, how can I step outside of my comfort zone and how do you step out of your comfort zone and how do we meet in the middle to make each other better?”
Both Taurasi and Schulman agree that this philosophy is true on the court, in business and throughout life. By embracing everyone, they feel they are able to gain different perspectives and unique solutions whether aiming for the success of a championship or to build the culture of a global corporation.
Taurasi’s desire to fight for equality started in her home and has now extended well beyond to the hardwood in which she has built her legacy. She is no longer just speaking out for her family that endured prejudice in order to provide for her, but she is also taking a stand for her friends and teammates that she lays it all on the line for every time she steps on the court.
“To me, what really hit close to home is how sad and how angry some of my best friends have been,” Taurasi said. “When I leave the gym and when my Black teammate leaves the gym, it’s two different worlds. When I talk to my teammates, the things that they’ve gone through that they’ve never shared before, it just makes you really sad in a way. It makes you really reflect on how can you change your attitude and your behavior towards things?”
The Mercury and the WNBA as a whole are pioneers in the sports community when it comes to standing up for others, speaking out against social injustice and providing an inclusive place for all. As the WNBA’s all-time leading scorer, Taurasi feels it’s her duty to use her platform, especially in these present times.
“When people are hurting and people are being put in positions to fail, to me, that is just not what our country is supposed to be built on,” Taurasi said. “It happens all over the world and it happens in this country more than anywhere else. It’s really hit us hard. I think the WNBA has taken that momentum and we’ve made a stand. The WNBA is 80% Black. We’re going to make sure you know what side we’re on and we’re completely on the side of Black Lives Matter. That’s how we’re going to roll from here on out.”
Taurasi and Schulman are clearly both outspoken advocates for equality, but they understand that it’s not always the easy path to take, especially in their elevated positions in society. In a world that can feature hateful speech and gruesome actions, the two discussed the importance of taking a stand and not letting fear hold them back.
“It’s uncomfortable conversations,” Taurasi said. “When you talk about Black Lives Matter, people feel attacked by that. It’s not meant to be an attack – it’s meant to bring awareness to situations that need help. They need systemic help from education to socioeconomic standards that put people in positions that are just caught in this constant wheel of catching up. Sometimes when you’re someone in a position of fame or power or money, speaking out is the hardest thing. I think as I’ve gotten older, I’ve gotten more comfortable in the position of, no, this is what I believe in and these are the things that need to happen for it to be better for a lot of people.”
Taurasi has proven the importance that a leader has on the court, but she also recognizes the greater magnitude a leader has off it. She commended Schulman for his efforts as the two bonded over their commitment to push for a better world around them.
“You guys do a great job of speaking out for a lot of people that don’t have that voice and don’t have that platform,” Taurasi said. “You see people do that and it gives people a little bit of hope. We’re in a situation right now where I don’t think you can honestly look around society and see hope. You see a lot of despair. That goes for the social justice side of it. Hopefully people in my position, in your position, tons of players, politicians – there’s leadership that needs to be had right now. I think it’s failing the people that make this country work.”
The Never Stand Still podcast hosted by Schulman brings on some of the most influential and renowned guests from around the world. Tune-in on Apple podcast, as well as many other podcast outlets, to hear Taurasi’s episode as they dive deeper into the social injustice occurring in modern day as well as the legacy that she has developed over her historic career on the hardwood.

Cutting boards are probably one of the most use tools in the kitchen. But regardless if you have the greenest bamboo board, or just a regular wood one or just a simple plastic one, the way we clean them is critical since most of the food we eat get in contact with them.
Here are a couple of tips on how to care for them in a green way!
First, always separate your cutting boards to avoid cross-contamination. You can color coded or just simple mark them. You should have one cutting board for meats, one for dairy and one for veggies and fruits.
Second, never clean your cutting boards with chemical products. You can go the extra mile of buying everything organic but if you then place your produce in a board filled with chemicals you are not benefiting from buying organic.
* plastic cutting boards: you can put them in your dishwasher but make sure you are using an organic dish soap.
* wood or bamboo cutting board: you can rinse them with water and clean them with baking soda and lemon using a toothbrush ( not only is it safer but they end up smelling great).
And last, disinfect your boards once a week by soaking them in white vinegar to kill any bacteria that can cause salmonella and E. coli without any hazardous side effects!
For a greener healthier life!

The stellar reviews keep coming in for PRIDE OF THE DECENT MAN! Win Wiacek, writing from the UK on his NOW READ THIS blog, has proclaimed the book as a…
“thoughtful and totally immersive glimpse of a life both remarkable and inescapably pedestrian:a reflection on common humanity and day-to-day existence with all the lethal pitfalls they conceal and joys they promise.”
Wiacek also says adds that PRIDE is a “seductively sedate, powerfully evocative and poignantly human-scaled fable of a guy with no hope and the odds stacked against him from the get-go…”
To close out the piece, Win mention this as a great comic to hand to even a non-comics-fan, and a musical pairing suggestion was made – a recommendation to spin Bob Seger’s “Mainstreet” while reading the book. I’ll have to try that myself.
I’d also add another musical pairing – “Tender Years” by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, from the cult hit movie soundtrack Eddie & The Cruisers. There’s just the right amount of passion and nostalgia in that song to go along with Andrew’s story. Readers with a keen eye for detail will also notice Eddie Wilson’s iconic cut-off black shirt is the same one worn by Andrew Peters.

If you read “Ghetto Brother” you know that after the gang truce came the music. The Ghetto Brothers were one of the first gangs to invite others to their turf to peacefully party together.
A year after the Hoe Avenue Peace Meeting, also thanks to the media attention the GBs were getting back then, Benjy and his brothers recorded an album, “Fuerza/Power” — listen to the sampler here.
This Saturday, Benjy will be honored in the Bronx — and the Ghetto Brothers will give a free concert! If you’re in New York, you don’t want to miss this (and yes, we’ll be selling copies of the graphic novel there as well).

CNN To Open A News Bureau In Houston
Houston, we're big-time.
Well, at least as big-time as Columbus, Ohio.
CNN has made the somewhat surprising announcement that they'll be opening a bunch of new bureaus around the country, and Houston is one of the 10 cities designated to get one.
The bureaus will be staffed by a single "all-platforms" reporter. Which means some very overworked person who will shoot video, report, edit, blog, vlog, twitter, facebook and whatever else is the next craze.
"CNN recently started the expansion in Minneapolis," reports the Orlando Sentinel. "Other cities receiving new bureaus will be Philadelphia, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Houston, Denver, Seattle, Raleigh-Durham, N.C., and Columbus, Ohio. Most will be one-person bureaus, like Orlando."
It'll be like the glory days of the "one-man bands" of that 24-hour Houston channel that briefly tried to survive here.
But should a cheerleader mom go wild, or a white woman go missing, rest assured CNN will be all over it.

Our professional video crew can help you increase engagement, interaction and revenue by presenting your business to a wide audience with a creative, exciting promotional video for use on multiple online channels.
Also announced to perform at Albert Dock’s new folk festival are contemporary folk acts The Lost Brothers (August 27) and Laura J Martin, who makes her Liverpool homecoming (presented by Bido Lito! on August 28) – and award-winning British singer/songwriter, Blair Dunlop. They join an already incredible line-up that includes The Christians, Henry Priestman, Gilmore & Roberts, Alasdair Roberts Trio, Tom Kitching, John Loomes, Merry Hell, Winter Wilson, ex-Bellowhead member Benji Kirkpatrick, and Sam Winston.
A new commission, part of the Albert Dock Liverpool 175 strategy, and supported by Liverpool City Council, Folk Festival on the Dock will bring together the city’s rich music and maritime heritage in an exuberant celebration of live acoustic folk, sea shanty and roots music over the August bank holiday weekend.
Clare Rawlinson, marketing manager, Albert Dock Liverpool, said:
“Having a host of Janice’s calibre is a real coup for the event and for Liverpool. Janice is another success story in Liverpool’s rich musical heritage, and her passion and dedication for discovering and promoting new talent fits in perfectly with the essence of the event. Her knowledge of music, old and new, is encyclopedic and audiences just love her.
“Likewise, it’s exciting to add some more local talent to the line-up. The Lost Brothers honed their sound in Liverpool during the city’s explosion of musical creativity in the mid-noughties alongside such bands as The Coral and The Zutons. Laura J Martin hails from Maghull, and recently recorded her third album, On The Never Never, in Nashville, which was a hit with critics and fans alike. Both acts are intrinsically linked to the city and causing a buzz in the international folk music arena.
“Blair Dunlop is one of Britain’s most exciting talents to come from the folk scene in recent years, and his second LP, House of Jacks, gained critical acclaim and even won the BBC Radio 2 Horizon Award. He will undoubtedly be a huge draw at the festival.”
Folk Festival on the Dock is a free event, with ticketed elements to the programme.

Bloomberg reports that Birkenfeld hired Schertler & Onorato LLP in 2006 to help him tell the U.S. how UBS used Swiss bank secrecy to cheat the Internal Revenue Service. Birkenfeld, now 47, told his story the next year to the IRS, the U.S. Justice Department, the U.S. Senate and the Securities and Exchange Commission. He agreed in October 2007 to pay the law firm 12.5% of any IRS whistle-blower award, according to court documents.
Birkenfeld served 31 months in prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy and was released on August 1st, six weeks before the IRS gave him the largest federal whistle-blower award for an individual. Birkenfeld had fired Schertler & Onorato in 2008, and his new law firm says the 12.5% accord is no longer binding.
'I hereby request that you confirm in writing that your firm does not assert any financial interest in any whistle-blower claim that Mr. Birkenfeld may have related to his allegations against UBS', attorney David C. Colapinto of Washington-based Kohn, Kohn & Colapinto LLP wrote to the Schertler firm in December 2010.
Attorney David Schertler refused to waive his firm’s financial claim. Last year, before it was clear that Birkenfeld would ever see his big payday, a federal judge referred the matter to an arbitrator. The arbitrator has yet to rule.

Stewart posted four points (2-4 FG), four rebounds, one assist, one steal and one block in 16 minutes during the 123-115 overtime loss to Atlanta on Wednesday.
Stewart has been a consistent provider from the secondary unit this season and continued that trend in the loss Wednesday. The center has been a great addition and reserve role. There have not been many games, if any, where he isn't able to help balance Detroit out in the paint. He would be a viable play if he ever gets more time.
Stewart tallied 10 points (4-6 FG, 2-2 FT), 11 rebounds, two assists and a steal across 19 minutes in Saturday's 120-100 win over the Heat.
With the game well in hand, the Pistons decided to give their 2020 first-rounder an extended look, and he did not disappoint. The Washington product turned in his best effort yet as a Piston, finishing with his first double-digit total. Although the center has promise and is sure to be part of Detroit's rebuilding effort, he'll likely remain a second-unit producer.
Stewart scored zero points (0-2 FG) while adding four rebounds, a steal and a block in nine minutes off the bench during Friday's 110-105 overtime win over the Suns.
The 16th overall pick in the 2020 draft has seen the court in seven straight games, but this was the first time Stewart failed to see double-digit minutes, even with Friday's contest going an extra frame. The rookie has shown hints of fantasy upside if he works his way into a larger role, but with Mason Plumlee seeing big minutes, as yet there's little court time left over at center for Stewart.

POLICE tried to find a Brit weeks before he was shot dead after taking four people hostage at a Texan synagogue.
But they were told Akram was not there and that his brother had moved to Pakistan in March 2020’s lockdown.
A neighbour in Blackburn, Lancs, said: “About three or four weeks ago, two detectives knocked at his door asking for Malik.
“They didn’t say what they wanted him for but needed to speak.”
He had flown to New York on December 29 and told authorities he’d be staying at the Queen’s Hotel.
But he travelled to Texas and spent several days at a Christian-run shelter before buying a gun.

Questions remain over what spooks knew about Akram before he flew to the US.
He was not on a US no-fly list but it was not clear if he was on MI5’s long list of more than 20,000 suspected extremists.
Security sources confirmed Akram’s mental health would be part of the inquiry, with brother Gulbar blaming his sibling’s actions on medical issues.
Evidence from his phone is understood to have led to the precautionary arrest of two teenagers in Manchester.
Whitehall sources said there was no evidence of any threat to the UK.
Petty criminal Akram, believed to have been a follower of hate preacher Anjem Choudary, had been banned from Blackburn magistrates’ court in 2001 for telling an usher he wished he’d died on one of the 9/11 planes.

Jamestown Business College, a for-profit institution in New York founded in 1886, is no longer accepting students and plans to close, according to a statement posted to its website Thursday.

Additionally, the struggling Vermont College of Fine Arts announced it is seeking a buyer.

Are you tired of spending hours every week trying to make sense of your payroll data?
The Construction industry is fast-paced with multiple job sites, complex labor laws and compliance, and ever-changing project requirements. These companies face unique challenges when it comes to payroll management.
In this blog, we will delve into the challenges of managing payroll in the construction industry and explore effective strategies to streamline the process.
Challenges in Payroll Management in Construction
The construction industry often relies on a fluctuating workforce that includes full-time employees, part-time workers, contractors, and subcontractors. Keeping track of different payment structures and ensuring accurate compensation can be challenging.
Complex Time Tracking
Construction projects involve various tasks, each with different hourly rates and overtime rules. Tracking time and the rate spent on each task accurately is crucial to avoid underpaying or overpaying employees.
The construction industry is subject to numerous labor laws, tax regulations, and safety standards. Failure to comply with these regulations can lead to legal complications and financial penalties.
Any Manual data entry increases the risk of errors, such as incorrect hours, rates, and deductions. These errors can result in disputes and impact employee morale.
The fast-paced nature of construction projects means that payroll processing must be timely and accurate to maintain worker satisfaction and meet financial obligations.
Here are a few tips and strategies that you as a construction business can implement to streamline the payroll process and improve overall efficiency.
Efficient Payroll Management Strategies
Implement Construction Payroll software: Transitioning from manual payroll processes to payroll software for the construction industry can significantly enhance efficiency. Look for a software solution that offers automated time tracking, direct deposit options, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. By electronically managing employee hours, wages, and deductions, you can reduce errors, save time, and simplify the payroll process.
Invest in accurate time tracking tools: Accurate time tracking is critical in the construction industry, where workers are often spread across multiple job sites. You may have a requirement to track mileage as well. Implementing time-tracking software for construction with Geo-fencing capabilities will enable employees to clock in and out from anywhere on the job site. This ensures accurate record-keeping and eliminates disputes related to work hours.
Stay compliant with labor laws and regulations: Construction businesses must keep up with labor laws and regulations to avoid penalties and legal issues. As a business owner, you need to familiarize yourself with wage regulations, overtime rules, benefits requirements, and tax obligations specific to the construction industry or work with a certified payroll professional. Another alternative for construction companies would be to implement construction payroll software that ensures compliance with labor laws and regulations.
Streamline pay processes for multiple projects: Construction companies often work on multiple projects simultaneously, making payroll management complex. To ensure accuracy and streamline the process, consider implementing a centralized system that tracks labor costs and allocates them accordingly to specific projects. This way, you can easily monitor expenses, simplify cost allocation, and ease administrative burdens.
Automate tax calculations and payments: Navigating payroll taxes can be challenging, especially with varying requirements in the construction industry. Select a payroll software solution that automates tax calculations and payments specific to construction and also alerts you about compliance requirements. This eliminates errors, ensures accurate tax deductions, and saves time and effort spent on manual calculations.
Establish clear communication with employees: Effective communication with employees is vital in any industry, especially when it comes to payroll matters. Keep your employees informed about pay periods, timecard submission deadlines, and any changes in payment methods. Establish clear channels of communication to address their concerns or questions promptly, ensuring transparency and fostering employee satisfaction.
Conduct regular audits and reviews: To maintain accuracy and mitigate potential payroll issues, conduct regular audits and reviews of your payroll records. Look for any discrepancies, errors, or potential problems and address them promptly. Performing periodic internal audits can help you identify and rectify issues before they escalate, ensuring payroll accuracy and compliance.
Efficient payroll management is crucial for smooth operations and employee satisfaction, especially in the construction industry where there is a shortage of skilled labor. According to a study published by Associated Builders and Contractors, the construction industry will need to attract an estimated 546,000 additional workers on top of the normal pace of hiring in 2023 to meet the demand for labor. We all can agree that without a modern payroll process that provides accurate and timely wages, contractors, subcontractors, and specialty contractors can’t attract the labor force they need.
As you navigate the intricacies of construction payroll, consider leveraging the power of Lumber, a workforce management platform purpose-built for construction. Lumber utilizes the power of automation and artificial intelligence to automate manual data entry and integrates siloed workflows into one seamless end-to-end process facilitating money movement. Compliance exists at the very foundation of Lumber and it promises the construction industry a chaos-free payroll experience. Lumber can be your partner in achieving payroll excellence.

We begin the new week with mortgage bonds slightly lower. With stocks drifting lower as well, we could be seeing another day of Fed panic. The increased chatter of an imminent rate hike by Fed members is speaking across the nation and has both the stock and bond markets worried. Combined with the replication of a similar chart pattern from July when rates jumped higher, it seems likely that bond investors will begin to take more conservative positions for a while. If this is in fact the case, we can expect bonds to drift lower as the week progresses. That will push mortgage interest rates higher in the process.
This is Jobs Week, with ADP set to announce their estimate of new job creations in the month of September on Wednesday and the Mac Daddy report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) due on Friday. With the Fed looking for any and all reasons to raise interest rates, the results of this report will be uber significant. The results of which will likely set the near term direction of mortgage interest rates. If the Job gains were strong, as Unemployment Claims have suggested, we could see mortgage rates deteriorate even more. If there is a silver lining, it could be that students leaving the Job market as the summer season employment comes to an end could help keep the number down a bit. We will have to wait and see.
With market patterns continuing to look negative, we will maintain our locking bias.

When Lady Gaga arrives anywhere the only thing you can expect is the unexpected.
And, with TV host David Letterman as her accessory – the Lady that is G showed us all her leather pants, leather jacket and seriously skimpy bra.
Reassuringly, when the Lady performed for The Late Show with David Letterman crowd on Wednesday evening she managed to keep most of her clothes on – not at all like that time she took her actual knickers off.
But before she even thought about climbing on stage the Born This Way had to greet her little monsters – waving like a practiced professional the sexy lady managed to keep her crazy wig straight and not reveal any side boob – no mean feat.
Lady Gaga arrives at Roseland Ballroom
The singer was being interviewed by the TV host before she invited the entire Late Show audience down the road to the historic Roseland Ballroom where she’s currently performing a string of gigs.
For her performance of Dope the singer was rocking a risque red leotard and little else, while her G.U.Y. stage outfit consisted of a white leotard and leggings. All very tame.
Fans quickly flooded social networks gushing about the star.
“Only GAGA can do this s**t!!!!! amazing performance,” one person wrote.

While another said: “Can we talk about how perfect this performance was? Like dammnnnnn.”
Earlier in the night, another one of Letterman’s guests – Bill Murray – made sure he got a selfie with the singer.

As Covid-19 cases have increased in the U.S. over the past couple of weeks, state governments, unfortunately, are re-imposing some of the authoritarian measures that they had lifted. In Texas, Governor Greg Abbott ordered all bars (defined as any establishment that makes at least 51% of its revenue from alcohol sales) to shut down by noon last Friday and ordered all restaurants to limit occupancy to 50% of capacity, down from 75%.
Agents from the Texas Alcohol Beverage Commission reportedly visited almost 1,500 bars across the state, found that 59 were still open, and suspended the licenses of 7 bars that did not agree to close immediately. The city also reportedly responded to over 300 complaints about bars that were still open and restaurants that were exceeding capacity. (Why someone, let alone 300 people, would complain about such a thing is beyond me.)
Texas bar owners are fighting back in court against these authoritarian policies. They have filed lawsuits in Austin, Houston, and Galveston arguing that the restrictions violate the state constitution.
Jared Woodfill, the attorney for the bar owners, said to the Associated Press: “Gov. Abbott continues to act like a king. Abbott is unilaterally destroying our economy and trampling on our constitutional rights.”
Right on. People have a right to go to bars and restaurants if they want to. These activities may increase the risk of catching the virus, but each person has a right to make his/her own decision about whether or not to take this risk. If you think that going to a bar or restaurant carries an unacceptable level of risk, then don’t go.

Jerry Manuel plans to proceed with Gary Sheffield making his first start as a Met Wednesday in right field, after Tuesday's off-day. But in an apparent acknowledgment to regular right fielder Ryan Church's solid beginning to the season, the manager suggested Sheffield's second outfield appearance would be in left field in place of Daniel Murphy.
Sheffield's second start could come in Friday's series opener against Milwaukee, although Manuel didn't want to commit this soon. The manager did indicate that he'd leave Church, the more accomplished fielder, in right and move Sheffield to left when they're starting together.
Sheffield, who didn't even pick up a glove in spring training with the Tigers because he figured to DH, continued to do early work in right field Monday, but hasn't worked out in left. No matter, according to Manuel.
"I do think right is tougher than left field. At any park," Manuel said Monday.
As for whether Sheffield is ready to play the outfield at all, the manager added: "I think the game of baseball, you can practice and practice and practice, but eventually you have to play and get on the field."
OUT IN OUTFIELD: Fernando Tatis likely will have his playing time cut the most due to the Mets' pickup of Sheffield. Tatis had only three plate appearances during the season-opening six-game trip, and Manuel didn't foresee him cracking the starting lineup in the short term. "We're just going to have to be patient with his situation," Manuel said.
Tatis originally was slated to start somewhere every game against lefthanded pitching. That was before Sheffield signed. Plus, the Mets are not slated to see a southpaw starter in their first 12 games. San Diego is throwing three righty starters - Walter Silva, Kevin Correia and Jake Peavy - in this series, while the Brewers will do the same this weekend with Dave Bush, Jeff Suppan and Yovani Gallardo.


SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. (KABC) -- Law enforcement agencies in San Bernardino joined forces to tackle criminal street gang activity in the city and county areas through Operation No Boundaries.
Five months ago, San Bernardino police joined forces with the sheriff's department and other local and federal agencies to crackdown on street gang activity.
To date, Operation No Boundaries has led to the arrest of 41 individuals with charges ranging from murder, attempted murder and drug offenses. Investigators said offenses are all tied to the California Garden Crips street gang.
"Although some of the victims were gang members and it was gang activity, there were a number of innocent citizens that were just trying to get through life that were victims of these tragic events," San Bernardino County Sheriff John McMahon said.
During the operation, police seized 43 firearms, some of which have been tied to other crimes in Southern California.
Investigators were able to connect the dots in the murder of Jaemiah Trammel, who was shot and killed while driving her car. The murder weapon used was also tied to five assaults and one separate murder.
Billy Duncan was arrested and charged for Trammel's murder in addition to the murder of Alejandro Herrera.
"Once a decent working weapon is amongst a criminal street gang, that weapon gets handed around and used by different members," San Bernardino Police Chief Jarrod Burguan said.
Due to the operation, investigators said they have been able to intercept five shootings and two robberies. Other cases are expected to benefit from the task force's work.
"We are very, very close to solving a total of six murders. Many of those cases are ... filed with the district attorney's office, the remainder are very, very close," Burguan said.


YEREVAN (Yerkir)–If Turkey succeeds in gaining European membership it will do everything in its power to close the doors of the European Union to Armenia and use the EU for its own interests. Turkey has stopped at nothing to create obstacles for Armenia and prevent its membership in international organizations or treaties around the world, ARF Bureau Political Director Giro Manoyan told a press conference in Yerevan Friday.
Manoyan’s remarks followed two days of parliamentary hearings about Turkish-Armenian relations, which began on Wednesday.
"Turkey should change before joining the EU. Otherwise, it will be unjustified optimism to hope for any changes after this country is granted membership," he added.
According to Manoyan, the fact that accession talks with Turkey have resumed without approval of all EU member states suggests political calculation by the U.S. and UK. "Thus, membership is not excluded but no reforms will be carried out," he said.

The phrase was repeated often on Saturday as roughly 150 people gathered at the Lucerne Valley Community Center to remember the Lucerne Valley Market and Hardware founder, who died Nov. 10 at age 91.
Bill Lembright, a longtime market staffer, friend of Gommel and member of his church group, explained the reason for the phrase.
“Gommel always hated hypocrisy and empty chatter, which included greeting people with ‘How are you?’ when they really didn’t want to know how he was and didn’t expect an answer,” Lembright said. “When he was asked ‘How are you?’ he started answering ‘peachy keen’ just to say something different. But then he decided he meant it, and it helped him to actually be peachy keen. That seemed to communicate to many people, especially when he would follow up with, ‘Are you peachy keen?’ And then he would listen to the answer, and he really wanted to know.”
Microphones were passed around the room, and dozens of people reminisced about Gommel’s humor, his toughness, his work ethic, his distaste for government bureaucracy, his dislike of handshakes because “friends don’t shake hands,” his Christian faith and his belief that God led him to Lucerne Valley 37 years ago to serve the community.
Gommel didn’t like having pictures taken of himself, didn’t enjoy birthday parties and didn’t want a memorial service.
“I know Ernie’s looking down on us and he doesn’t like it,” Victorville-based businessman Joe Brady said, “but this is one time when he doesn’t get final say.”
The standing-room-only crowd featured friends, customers, current and former employees, local leaders and a few notable out-of-towners, among them State Assemblyman Tim Donnelly and County Supervisor Robert Lovingood.
Cliff Earp of Apple Valley, a board member of Hitchin Lucerne, Inc. (which owns the market), said a few words about the store’s future.
“Lucerne Valley is very lucky to have what’s here,” Earp said. “You won’t find a market like that in any town of less than, I’d say, 25,000 people. ... I just want to let you know that Linda (Gommel), Bill and Jan (Lembright) are committed to continuing. I know a lot of people are wondering, ‘What’s going to happen to the store?’ Well, the store is there. The seed’s been planted. It’s a pretty darn good tree and it’s got good roots. ... We have good commitment, good staff and good support.”
Nonetheless, many in the crowd seemed to think that the store won’t be quite the same without the man in the blue jumpsuit roaming the aisles.
Holding back tears, local resident and charity volunteer Diane Holland said: “Nobody knows what this market has done for Lucerne Valley. I know, personally, because I’m involved with a few things. And I know the staff is still there, it’s still going to support this community, but by God, I’m going to miss peachy keen.”

President Biden and the Senate Democrats are drafting plans to tax the wealthiest 0.0002 percent of stocks and bonds. The idea became popular in the 2020 campaign, but is not yet fully supported within the Democratic Party.
The new “Millionaire Income Tax” has been written by Ron Wyden, chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, a Democrat in Oregon, incorporating opinions from the Treasury and the White House.
Currently, millionaires spend much of their money to buy assets like stocks. And it is currently taxed only when they are sold. The new plan will impose an annual tax on their assets while they are still in the hands of the owner.
Wealthy people often use these currently non-taxable assets as collateral to obtain a loan. This is an operation that allows them to pay lower taxes.
According to the Washington Post summary, the tax applies to millionaires and people who earn more than $ 100 million a year for the third consecutive year, or about 600-700 Americans.
Democrats are trying to push wealth taxes into the $ 2 trillion settlement bill that is still under discussion. The plan, backed by President Biden, targets about 600 to 700 Americans.
The proposal is to tax the “unrealized gains” of millionaire stocks and bonds each year.The Bloomberg Billionaire Index above shows the wealthiest people in the world today
Treasury officials claim that the top 1 percent of wage earners avoid paying $ 163 billion in taxes.Billionaire Jeff Bezos mentioned above did not pay federal income tax in 2007 and 2011
Some tax experts have offset the cost of Biden’s $ 2 trillion “human infrastructure” bill as the new plan already complicates Byzantine’s US tax system and has a relatively small number of people affected. I’m worried that it’s not enough.
Some are worried that the Democratic Party of Japan will refuse to raise taxes.
Richard E. Neil, chairman of the Houseways and Means Commission, a Democrat in Massachusetts, said Weiden’s plans “could be really complicated.”
“Setting rates is efficient and easy to implement. Unlike the more esoteric idea of taxing or taxing on this, pricing is inherently simple. People understand them. “There is,” Neil said.
“There is only one proposal for revenue that has passed the legislature. It’s ours.’
Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Oregon) writes “Billionaire Income Tax”
Joshua McCabe, a senior fellow in policy and welfare at the centre-right Niskanen Center, says there are not enough millionaires to plan to raise this amount of money.
“A country with a stronger welfare state will tax everyone a little more, not just the rich,” McCabe told Post.
“The amount of income you can earn from squeezing people who earn more than $ 400,000 a year is small, and if you’re looking at a millionaire, it’s even smaller.”
According to the New York Times, Utah’s Senator Mitt Romney was one of the wealthiest members of the House with an estimated $ 271 million in wealth and called it a “very bad idea.” Instead with diamonds and paintings.
The new plan imposes an annual interest rate on the “unrealized profit” of real estate paid at the time of sale, which aims to prevent millionaires from selling stocks and bonds in favor of housing.
The plan is part of a strategy to raise taxes on wealthy people beyond the preferences of Centrist Democrats who oppose broader measures, such as Kristen Cinema in Arizona and Joe Manchin III in West Virginia. It is a department.
Democrats are betting that it will be difficult for opponents to openly oppose it.
“It clearly leads to some of the country’s most challenging political communities-it makes buildback better very popular,” said Senator Weiden, the writer of the proposal.
Taxing the ultra-rich was a promise of an important campaign for Massachusetts’ progressive Senator Elizabeth Warren. He supports millionaire tax increases on stocks, bonds and cash.
The table shows the estimated amount of unpaid income tax in the income percentile.
“I want the elected officials to stand up and say,’Hey, I don’t think millionaires should pay taxes.'”
An evenly divided Senate requires all the votes it can get.
A Finance Commission aide told the New York Times that none of the 50 Democrats in the Senate had expressed opposition.
The ultra-wealth tax was an important campaign promise for Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren. It was also a lifelong quest for Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who finished second in the Democratic primaries in 2016 and 2020.
Recent IRS data published by ProPublica reveals how millionaires like Amazon’s Jeff Bezos and Tesla’s Elon Musk are hiding huge wealth of tax-exempt assets.
In some years, they paid $ 0 in federal income tax. This is well below what the average American pays, simply because it can hide wealth in real estate, stocks, and other things that aren’t taxed until they’re sold.
Carl Icahn, the 40th wealthiest American investor on the Forbes list, did not pay federal income tax on $ 544 million in income in 2016 and 2017. At the same time, he had an unpaid loan of $ 1.2 billion with Bank of America. Manhattan penthouses and other properties, according to ProPublica.
Senator Mitt Romney is one of the wealthiest members of the House of Representatives. He called for a new proposal. That also applies to people who make $ 100 million for the third year in a row. This is a “very bad idea”.
Senator Kyrsten Sinema, a Democrat in Arizona on Thursday above, could block the advancement of wealth taxes.She said nothing about it, but previously opposed the tax increase
At CNN Town Hall on Thursday, Biden said Cinema would not raise a penny tax on businesses and / or wealthy people. period. That is a kind of failure. “
Icahn called himself a “big borrower.” I borrow a lot of money. “
New millionaire income tax proposals tax capital gains on stocks and bonds, but millionaires can also be deducted if the value of an asset plummets.
Cinema, which emerged as a key decision maker in democratic politics because of its de facto veto as a centrist politician in the split Senate, opposed tax increases for the wealthy.
“She told colleagues and the president that simply raising tax rates would never address tax avoidance challenges or improve economic competitiveness,” spokesman John La Bomberd told Friday. Said to.
Biden criticized the cinema on Thursday at CNN’s Town Hall.
ProPublica reported that Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk did not pay federal income tax in 2018
The president said she would not raise a monetary tax on businesses and / or wealthy people. period. That is a kind of failure. “
Massachusetts Democrat Richard E. Neil told the Times Thursday that he had told Cinema about interest rates.
Weiden’s proposal will be incorporated into the still controversial $ 2 trillion “human infrastructure” reconciliation bill.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday that the Billionaire tax system has already faced suspicions from Democrats in the House and Senate, but hopes to agree on a broader package within a few days.
The $ 2 trillion settlement bill holds a $ 1.2 trillion physical infrastructure bill focusing on roads, bridges and high-speed Internet.
In June, Biden said: It’s really simple. ”
He returned comments after criticism from the Republicans, but progressive Democrats continued to put pressure on them.
At the time, Congressman Ilhan Omar said, “If we pass only the infrastructure bill, we can’t even reach 10 percent of his (Biden’s) agenda,” according to USA Today.

I got married last year and recently my wife and I were talking about our satisfaction with our sex life. We both agreed it could be better and a lot of it is due to my injury. Being a quadriplegic, I’m limited a lot on what I can and can’t do. We have a sexually active life together, but things have started to feel repetitive and get boring. It wasn’t until I got into a serious relationship that I have noticed how much this injury has negatively impacted my sex drive.
It’s weird because when I was single my sex drive felt stronger and I wanted it more, but once I got married, it’s like it went away. It feels like there is a complete physical and mental disconnect when it comes to sex and intimacy. I don’t crave it like I did before. I know at times, my wife has felt like I am not attracted to her because of my lack of initiating being intimate with her. I also know I would be a lot more engaging and active if I wasn’t paralyzed. What’s helped with this issue is our communication with each other about our honest feelings. Sex and intimacy are not the most important part of a relationship but they are a part of it.
Unfortunately, I can’t change that fact that I am paralyzed, but my wife and I can communicate with each other and come up with other ways to be intimate and feel loved.

“It’s actually nice to play on this piano because it’s got the funk,” said the virtuoso jazz pianist Jason Moran. He was seated at an old Kurtzman upright piano and had just finished playing a lush, hard-swinging solo version of “The Sheik of Araby,” a tune he recently learned for his Fats Waller dance party at the Harlem Stage Gatehouse. His comment elicited nervous laughter from the crowd of fans who’d crammed themselves into the main room of a suffocatingly hot Lower East Side apartment late last month—some of us seated on fold-out chairs, others on the floor—to hear him play two unaccompanied sets. Moran, one of the most celebrated young jazz artists of the last ten years, seemed right at home in this intimate, makeshift performance space, aptly named A Gathering of Tribes. Although he has been justly praised for his sometimes cerebral approach to jazz, the no-frills atmosphere of the venue, which attracts players of every school and listeners of every stripe, accentuated the earthier side of his style.
A Gathering of Tribes is the home of author and educator Steve Cannon, a man the writer Paul Beatty, who dropped by for Moran’s second set, once referred to as “professor emeritus of the Lower East Side.” For the past twenty years Cannon has used his apartment to stage public readings, concerts, and art exhibitions. The venture reflects his devotion to the local community and his desire to preserve its vanishing bohemian character, which he came to know firsthand upon moving there from New Orleans in the 1960s. Cannon has made Tribes a particularly important site for contemporary jazz music. It boasts an impressive roster of past performers, including Sun Ra, Cecil Taylor, Butch Morris, and Matthew Shipp.

We wrote back in January about a drone trial by Wing, a subsidiary of Alphabet, Google’s parent company, in rural Australia wasn’t going quite the way Wing might have hoped. Long and short, the drones’ noise was so irritating that dog owners tried to avoid areas where they passed, people stopped using their yards, and the noise was triggering PTSD for some military veterans. Ouch!
Well, in response to the drone trial and the complaints it generated, an inquiry was formed. And Wing can’t be happy with the submissions, which conclude that:
Household delivery drones are an invasive, under-regulated technology whose potential benefits to the ACT would not outweigh the disturbance to the local community and environment.
According to one of the 39 submissions, “the service had created angst in the community, exposed a lack of regulation of the evolving technology and caused disturbances to residents and local wildlife.” Additional submissions noted the loss of wildlife and birds in the area during the trial, while others raised concerns about “an invasion of privacy,” the “commercialisation of airspace” and “limited public information on the approval and regulation of the Google-backed company’s trial.”
A couple of positive submissions were made, including one which suggested drone delivery was an “environmentally friendly option,” and another from Wing’s consultant, AlphaBeta, which asserted that “delivery drones could have wide-reaching benefits for local businesses, consumers and the environment.”
But in the end, the majority of people responding to the inquiry expressed a negative view of the trial and “strong opposition to the service’s expansion.”
One thing we rarely see addressed in these drone delivery stories is this: what compelling need does drone delivery serve? All we see are fatter coffers for the Googles and Amazons of the world at the expense of consumers addicted to impulse buying.

Farmscape for May 11, 2018
The Manager Veterinary Services for western Canada with Zoetis says the quicker the new born piglet is able to receive its mother's first milk, the greater its ability to survive and thrive will be.
Colostrum, the sow's first mammary secretion, is produced for the first 24 hours after her first piglet is born.
Dr. Leanne Van De Weyer, the Manager of Veterinary Services for western Canada with Zoetis, says the amount and quality of colostrum the piglet is able to receive will depend on factors such as its birth weight or size, if it's chilled that will affect its ability to get to the udder to suckle and we have evidence that later born piglets in a large litter will receive later colostrum which is less rich in antibodies and growth factors.
Clip-Dr. Leanne Van De Weyer-Zoetis:
The piglet is completely dependant on colostrum for its immunity.
Antibodies and immune cells that are found in colostrum are the source of immunity for a piglet in the first weeks of life because a piglet is not born with antibodies or cell mediated immune cells.
It relies on the sow to provide those in colostrum until it can make its own and that process takes several weeks.
And the basic energy, the milk sugar and the fat found in colostrum is vital to support the pig's life and movement as it starts it life and it's also dependent on that colostrum for growth factors.
There is hormones that the sow has put into the colostrum that optimize the grow of vital organs in the piglet.
Dr. Van De Weyer says the concentration of antibodies in colostrum changes over 24 hours so the early colostrum will be richer in immune cells and growth factors so timing is critical.
And, she says, the piglet's gut can only accept the large antibody and growth factor molecules for a short time before it starts to close and become less able to absorb those molecules.
