Truing Up Your Project
Software-based home performance savings estimates have consistently been overestimated; the Program encourages model true up for every project. In order to present your customers with realistic and obtainable energy savings predictions your energy model must accurately describe the home and be ‘trued up’ to their actual utility bills. Your modeling software that you use has the capacity to integrate these bills into the report as you create the model and will show you if some model parameters need to be modified. Other more simple yet adequate methods can be used also, such as working from copies of your customer’s bills and totaling the annual heating fuel and electrical usage then comparing your modeled usage to these totals. The more heating fuel and electric history you have available the more accurate your true-up will be. The minimum period should be 12 months. The model’s predicted energy usage should be within ± 5% of your customer’s actual usage.
To manually evaluate natural gas or electric heating fuel bills:
- Disaggregate heating btus from baseload btus.
- Add up the 3 lowest months of heating fuel usage (summer/shoulder months). For electrically heated homes, avoid months where there is obvious air conditioning usage.
- Divide this total by 3 (or the number of months used), and multiply this by 12. The result is an approximation of your baseload (cooking, water heating, etc.)
- Subtract this annualized baseload from the 12 month total to determine heating related usage.
What can be done if your customers’ bills differ by more than 5%?
Typically this happens when the model predicts usages higher than your customer’s bills. It is not uncommon for models to over predict savings. In this case, the following steps may help:
- Insulation Levels – Review insulation levels in the walls and ceiling/attic. If you have visually inspected the insulation you can use BPI’s Building Analyst Professional Standard’s Effective R-values for Batt Insulation table (CRM Section 13.1, follow link for BA Standard – page 8) to de-rate the R-value. Be cautious in de-rating to a ‘Poor’, especially if you haven’t visually confirmed this. Being conservative in de-rating insulation R-values will likely result in a model that predicts more accurate energy usage and savings.
- Thermostat Setting – Lower thermostat settings. During the wintertime audit you may have observed that the thermostat was set to 70° This does not mean that there is a ∆T of 70° across all exterior walls. Your energy model averages all surfaces adjacent to outside/unconditioned space to predict energy use/loss. Much of these surfaces are well below the set point of the thermostat.
- Estimated Air Leakage – If you were not able to conduct an air leakage test you will have to estimate the building’s leakage. Conservatively use the following guidelines (ACHnatural). If your model isn’t truing up reduce the estimated air leakage:
- Very Tight: 0.10 ACHn
- Tight: 0.35 ACHn
- Average: 0.60 ACHn
- Leaky: 0.85 ACHn
- Very Leaky: 1.10 ACHn
- Conditioned Space Classification – Spaces like basements with little or no specific HVAC supply emitters should not be modeled as Conditioned. Spaces that are classified as conditioned are typically found to be at the set point of the thermostat.
- Hot Water Usage –
a) Lower the water heater temperature set-point.
b) Reduce number of occupants modeled using hot water.
c) Reduce appliance usage of hot water.
For additional information guidance please review the following webinar:
This recorded webinar provides quick techniques and best practices for ‘truing-up’ your energy models to actual energy consumption history to increase savings prediction accuracy, learn how and why model calibration can save you time building your energy model, and understand how the ANSI/BPI-2400 standard supports model calibration and improved accuracy of energy savings estimates.

“A Grain of Salt: Isn’t it Ionic?” by Howard Stone drew near-capacity crowds of parents and children at McDonnell Hall on Saturday. Participants were treated to four sections, each with audience participation: Thinking about salt and water; dissolution and precipitation; puzzles and wonders; and conductivity and osmosis. Mentioned: french fries, pretzels, salt and diet, salt and health.
From the program: Stone researches fluid dynamics, materials science and applied mathematics; he enjoys the challenge of thinking about real-world problems. He was assisted by Bonnie Bassler, who researches molecular mechanisms that bacteria use for intracellular communication. Both are passionate about teaching. Chief experiment leader for the morning session was Kitty Wagner, lecture demonstrator in chemistry at Princeton University since 1991 and director of the Princeton Chemistry Outreach program since she organized it in 1996.

I was confirming a shoot with the client, and asked for the address. The address wasn’t familiar to me, so I did a Google street view search. The verdict- the building was a parking garage off an alley. Yes, a parking garage. Off of an alley. As you can imagine, I was very concerned about this, so I personally scouted the location, and found that it had a covered area that overlooked some landscaped areas. Here are the results!

text: All of Meredith Vieira’s hard work has certainly paid off. According to the Post, the journalist-slash-talk-show-host-slash-game-show-host has just scooped up a penthouse at the El Dorado. The home is a three-bedroom stunner with two large terraces and Central Park reservoir views. The final closing price has yet to be revealed, but it was last asking $8.55 million in May when it went into contract. The previous owners paid $5.95 million for it back in 2011—surely a recent, beautiful, never-lived-in renovation helped give this CPW pad a price boost.

Amy Schumer is once again letting women know they should feel comfortable in their own skin.
On Tuesday, the HBO star shared a photo of her name on the cover of Glamour‘s “Chic At Any Size” issue on Twitter and Instagram. The only problem? The editors didn’t let her know that was happening, nor did they let her know they consider her to be “plus size.”
Celebs also mentioned on the cover are Adele, Ashley Graham and Melissa McCarthy.
“I think there’s nothing wrong with being plus size. Beautiful healthy women,” Schumer wrote in the caption. “Plus size is considered size 16 in America. I go between a size 6 and an 8.”
She continued: “Young girls seeing my body type thinking that is plus size, what are your thoughts? Mine are not cool Glamour not glamorous.”
Many people responded to her message in outrage.
Glamour editor Cindi Leive even responded with a series of her own tweets.
Schumer isn’t the first celebrity to experience this kind of thing because of her body size.
Former Victoria Secret’s model Tyra Banks has been mocked by tabloids for fluctuating between a size 6 and 13 for years. In 2015, Banks admitted on Live With Kelly and Michael that she thinks she looks better with more weight on her face and body.
“I look like a different person now because I have more weight on,” she said to the hosts.
This also isn’t the first time the Trainwreck star has spoken out about being body-positive.
Last year, she teamed up with Goodwill of Southern California to help educate and inspire women through fashion. She said she wanted to spread the message that Hollywood’s beauty standards can be unrealistic.
It’s a message she echoed in her final tweets on Tuesday about the Glamour debacle.

- Paul Krugman once noted that it is not remarkable that people tend to favor structural interpretations for economic problems. Losing one's job or seeing one's wealth fall by a factor of two or three is often a tragedy for workers and their families. It is an anathema that this might be the result of some bureaucrat accidentally miscalculating the money supply in one's own country or, even worse, in some other country. How can such pain be caused by something so trivial as misreading information about monetary aggregates? Yet, these are exactly the explanations that economic theory suggests are critical in understanding business cycles. Hence it is not surprising that in all countries there is a tendency to give business cycles a structural interpretation.

Should We Blame Bernie for His Trolls?
There's a disturbing pattern of misogyny from his supporters.
Last night, the Daily Beast published a story headlined “Bernie Staffer Mocked Warren’s Looks, Pete’s Sexuality on Private Twitter Account.”
The details are pretty much what you’d expect:
During the most recent presidential primary debate in Las Vegas, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) suggested that critiques of some of his most antagonistic online supporters are largely unfounded and unfair, proposing that some of the worst offenders might actually be Russian trolls on a mission to sow disunity in the field.
But the private Twitter account of a newly promoted campaign staffer indicates that despite his condemnation of online harassment, at least some of the Vermont senator’s most toxic support is coming from inside the house.
Using the account @perma_ben, Ben Mora, a regional field director for Sanders’ campaign based in Michigan, has attacked other Democrats in the field—as well as their family members, surrogates, journalists, and politically active celebrities—in deeply personal terms, mocking their physical appearance, gender, and sexuality, among other things.
Those interested in reading Mora’s juvenile smears are welcome to follow the link to the report. They are fairly standard online trolling, although I’m unfamiliar with at least one trope deployed against Warren. Apparently, there’s a reason for that:
For users familiar with the patois of Gay Lefty Twitter, many of Mora’s tweets come across as fairly run-of-the-mill gay shitposts: tweets dragging the Queer Eye guys as neoliberals, mocking would-be #activist gays for shirtless photos on Instagram, or creating a meme wherein Mora’s followers share how their iPhone suggests completing the sentence “Elizabeth Warren lied about…” (Mora’s answer: “lied about being fat.”)
So, basically, we’re dealing with some juvenile “shitposting” within a subcultural niche. And this was not only not on an official Sanders account but on a “private” one presumably viewable only to those with Mora’s permission.
The Sanders campaign has reacted as one might expect:
After this story was published, Mike Casca, the Sanders campaign’s communications director, told The Daily Beast that “we are running a multiracial, multigenerational campaign for justice where disgusting behavior and ugly personal attacks by our staff will not be tolerated.”
Mora, the Sanders campaign confirmed, has been fired.
I am not, as regular readers may have surmised, a Sanders supporter. But this is the sort of thing I tend not to hold against campaigns. If one employs a large staff of young enthusiasts, this sort of thing is inevitable.
But there’s an argument to be made that Sanders has somehow attracted this type of behavior in his supporters. Whether it’s the simple coincidence that his main challenger in the 2016 cycle was a woman or some other reason, he developed an online following that directed misogynistic insults at Hillary Clinton and her supporters, especially other women.
These “Bernie Bros,” as they became known, have continued this style of attack against Sanders’ female opponents in this cycle, Warren and Klobuchar. (Probably Kamala Harris as well but I don’t know for sure.) And where there’s misogyny, there’s usually homophobia, so the attacks on Buttigieg aren’t surprising.
This issue came up during the Nevada debates and Sanders and Buttigieg made valid points:
SANDERS: We have over 10.6 million people on Twitter, and 99.9 percent of them are decent human beings, are working people, are people who believe in justice, compassion, and love. And if there are a few people who make ugly remarks, who attack trade union leaders, I disown those people. They are not part of our movement.
But let me also say what I hope my friends up here will agree with is that if you look at the wild west of the internet, talk to some of the African-American women on my campaign. Talk to Senator Nina Turner. Talk to others and find the vicious, racist, sexist attacks that are coming their way, as well.
So I would hope that all of us understand that we should do everything we possibly can to end the viciousness and ugliness on the internet. Our campaign is about issues. It’s about fighting for the working families and the middle class. It is not about vicious attacks on other people.
BUTTIGIEG: Senator, when you say that you disown these attacks and you didn’t personally direct them, I believe you.
SANDERS: Well, thank you.
BUTTIGIEG: But at a — but at a certain point, you got to ask yourself, why did this pattern arise? Why is it especially the case among your supporters that this happens?
SANDERS: I don’t think it is especially the case, by the way.
BUTTIGIEG: That’s just not true. Look, people know the way your supporters treat them.
SANDERS: Well, Pete, if you want to talk to some of the women on my campaign, what you will see is the most ugly, sexist, racist attacks that are — I wouldn’t even describe them here, they’re so disgusting.
And let me say something else about this, not being too paranoid. All of us remember 2016, and what we remember is efforts by Russians and others to try to interfere in our election and divide us up. I’m not saying that’s happening, but it would not shock me.
saw some of those tweets regarding the Culinary Workers Union. I have a 30-year 100 percent pro-union voting record. Do you think I would support or anybody who supports me would be attacking union leaders? It’s not thinkable.
BUTTIGIEG: But leadership is about what you draw out of people. It’s what — it’s about how you inspire people to act.
And right now, we’re in this toxic political environment. Leadership isn’t just about policy. I think at least in broad terms, we’re largely pulling in the same direction on policy, but leadership is also about how you motivate people to treat other people.
I think you have to accept some responsibility and ask yourself what it is about your campaign in particular that seems to be motivating this behavior more than others, because in order to turn the page on the Trump era, we’re going to need a president, not just a candidate who can win, but a president who can move us forward.
There has been a loosely related debate renewed on Twitter and elsewhere recently about the long-running Comedy Central show “South Park” and its influence on a generation of trolls.* The show is frequently brilliant but its style of humor is the opposite of “woke.” It is often incredibly juvenile and quintessentially male in its outlook.**
Whether “South Park” spawned or is merely an exemplar of the sort of trollish behavior we’re seeing among Sanders supporters is immaterial. The show originated at about the time the broadband Internet became widespread and we’ve seen this behavior online, whether on BBSes and message boards or blogs and Twitter—not to mention the darker spaces of Reddit and 4Chan—for a long time now.
Sanders clearly draws a disproportionate amount of this behavior. Is it simply because he appeals to a younger demographic? Because his message and demeanor are angrier than the others? I don’t really know. (And, it’s worth noting, Donald Trump attracted the very same kind of conduct, with some weird anti-Semitism thrown in, in the last cycle and likely will again this go-round.)
Like Buttigieg, I believe Sanders when he decries it. But the fact that he inspires it is nonetheless troubling.
UPDATE: Cheryl Rofer responded on Twitter:
To which I responded,
While I was driving in, this drew some helpful insights.
That fleshes out considerably what was for me more an inkling than an idea.
**That doesn’t mean the show doesn’t attract plenty of female fans. See Timpf, above. And my late wife was a huge fan of the show.

It inherits much of its styling from elsewhere in the portfolio, starting with the trapezoidal grille that it shares with the remainder of the lineup. Expertise plays a key role in the 2020 Hyundai Genesis Coupe cabin, which incorporates an non-obligatory digital gauge cluster and a motorized pop-up infotainment display. Even so, the 2020 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is exhibiting its age as extra trendy rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz A-class are coming to market with extra trendy styling and features; we anticipate the 2020 mannequin 12 months to be the last for this generation of the 2020 Hyundai Genesis Coupe.
What’s New for 2020?
Front-wheel-drive 2020 Hyundai Genesis Coupe models now carry the Sport moniker, while Quattro all-wheel-drive fashions are badged as S Line. Each models are powered by a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder; the engine makes 184 horsepower in Sport fashions and 228 in the S Line. Premium fashions now come with 18-inch wheels, a driver-selectable driving-mode system, keyless entry with push-button begin, ambient inside lighting, a shade driver-information screen between the gauges, new aluminum trim, and black exterior trim. Stepping as much as a Premium Plus model brings in a Bang & Olufsen audio system, automated high-beam headlamps, rear-seat USB charging ports, and an inside storage package. This automobile has introduced the Final Edition package deal—which leads us to consider that this era 2020 Hyundai Genesis Coupe is nearing the top of the street—which adds leather sport bucket seats, puddle lights that project the logo on the bottom outdoors the entrance doors when they’re opened, and a flat-bottomed steering wheel with shift paddles. The drop-top 2020 Hyundai Genesis Coupe cabriolet is useless.
Pricing and Which One to Purchase
We expect the front-wheel-drive Sport Premium Plus model strikes the most effective stability of performance and options. Positive, its 184-hp four-cylinder is not as highly effective because the one in the S Line model, however it’s more fuel efficient and still a lot peppy. Plus, the Premium Plus trim provides extra options that luxurious buyers will discover welcome, such because the aforementioned 14-speaker Bang & Olufsen audio system and automatic high-beam headlamps. Going all out for the top-of-the-line S Line Premium Plus puts the 2020 Hyundai Genesis Coupe value too near the bigger and more fashionable A4 sedan.

The SBA has published additional guidance regarding PPP loan forgiveness. The guidance attempts to answer continued questions from small businesses about the process of applying for loan forgiveness and how loans will be audited for forgiveness eligibility.
Process of Application for Loan Forgiveness
To apply for loan forgiveness, a borrower must complete and submit the Loan Forgiveness Application (SBA Form 3508 or the specific lender-equivalent form) to its lender. The lender will review the application and make a determination on the amount of eligible loan forgiveness within sixty (60) days of receipt of the complete application. Thereafter, the lender will issue its decision to the SBA. If the lender determines that the borrower is eligible for full or partial forgiveness, it will request payment from the SBA for the specific forgiven amount. Within ninety (90) days of the lender’s submission of its decision, the SBA will make its own forgiveness determination and will remit the requested amount (or the SBA-approved amount, if different from lender’s request) to the lender, plus any interest accrued through the date of payment.
If, in the course of review, the SBA determines that the borrower was ineligible for a PPP loan at the time it applied, the loan will not be eligible for forgiveness. Whether approved for partial or full forgiveness or determined to have been ineligible, the lender will notify the borrower of the final determination regarding loan forgiveness. If part or all of the loan is denied for forgiveness, the remaining balance due on the loan must be repaid by the borrower within the two (2) year maturity of the loan.
It should be noted that this process applies only to loans that have not been reviewed by the SBA for forgiveness eligibility prior to borrower application for forgiveness and lender submission of the same.
Documentation Required for Application of Forgiveness
The SBA Form 3508 details the documents required to be submitted with the application, documents required to be maintained by the borrower and made available upon request, and documentation the borrower may voluntarily submit with the application.

FITCHBURG -- A 71-year-old man had a warrant for his arrest issued Tuesday when he failed to show up at his arraignment in District Court for allegedly touching a 10-year-old girl inappropriately, according to court documents.
Jorge A. Piva, of Crestview Lane, Fitchburg was scheduled to be arraigned on Tuesday on charges of indecent assault and battery on a child under 14-years-old and witness intimidation for the alleged incident that occurred in early May, according to court documents.
According to a police report of the incident, Piva touched the child, while she was wearing jeans, in her genital area and later told the girl that if she told anyone about what happened that she would be taken from her family.
When police interviewed the victim, she told them she had been touched by Piva in a similar way on prior occasions, according to the police report.
Judge Christopher LoConto issued the arrest warrant.
Piva, according to the police report, has moved to Gardner since the sexual assault allegation.
FITCHBURG -- A city man accused to shooting at a couple on May 26 over an ongoing court dispute was deemed not dangerous after a hearing in District Court on Tuesday.
Freddy A. Deya, 29, of 69 Academy St., Apt. 4, however, was ordered held in lieu of posting a $50,000 cash bail or $500,000 surety bond by Judge Christopher LoConto.
Deya was ordered held without bail last week after being charged with attempted murder, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling and witness intimidation.
He is accused of firing a handgun at a husband and wife on the afternoon of May 26 at the intersection of John Fitch Highway and Lunenburg Street.
The wife's husband, Felix Amill, 36, of Kimball Street was ordered held for 120 days after a dangerousness hearing after also being charged with attempted murder, discharging a firearm within 500 feet of a dwelling and several weapons violation for allegedly firing a handgun at Deya in the area of Middle and Fourth street on Saturday, May 27.
Deya, according to police reports of the incidents, was angry with Amill's wife because she had filed charges against him because he allegedly damaged her vehicle last August.
On the day of the court case on the vehicle damage charges, Deya allegedly threatened Amill's wife, which led to him also be charged with witness intimidation, according to a report.

In an open letter to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, female Islamic scholar Sedigheh Vasmaghi has strongly challenged his recent edict over hijab.
In her letter which has been widely shared through social media, Vasmaghi has warned Khamenei that he will personally be responsible for all the “financial, physical, social, ethical, psychological and political” consequences of enforcing compulsory hijab rules as he has recently demanded.
“Discarding hijab is haram (sin) based on Sharia and also politically,” Khamenei emphatically declared at a meeting with state officials on April 4 while claiming that foreign intelligence services were encouraging Iranian women to disobey mandatory hijab.
Taking their cue from the speech, officials have been competing to re-establish control over women which has somehow waned following anti-regime protests, and they made a host threats, including expulsion from universities, against hijab-less women.
Vasmaghi has argued that the strict hijab rules have no foundation in the Quran which never specified that women have to cover their hair. According to Vasmaghi, there is also no evidence that women were harassed or punished for not covering their hair and body during the lifetime of the Prophet Muhammed.
“On what specific and unbreakable religious foundations and what logic the Islamic Republic’s prescribed dress code for women, which you also approve and stress, has been based?” she wrote and asked Khamenei to elucidate his religious and political arguments for demanding enforcement of his personal views over the society.
She also argued that Sharia scholars may insist that following the model prescribed by the Islamic Republic is religiously required but there is no absolute religious basis for coercing all women to obey such edicts by using government resources and force and at the cost of violating women’s dignity, and harm to the society.
Vasmaghi who taught Fiqh, the science of ascertaining the precise terms of the Sharia (Islamic law) at Tehran University before being banned from teaching due to her political view is famous for her poetry. She left Iran in 2011 and taught Islamic studies at University of Göttingen in Germany and University of Uppsala in Sweden as a guest professor until 2017 when she returned to Iran.
Vasmaghi who used to wear a black veil for years has relaxed her own hijab in recent years and no longer covers all her hair as she used to.
Only five months after the Islamic Revolution of 1979, then leader of Iran Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini banned women from appearing without a veil in government offices. The ban gradually spread to the entire society within the next two years.
All women eventually gave in to covering their hair, even if partially, with headscarves and shawls and wear tunics and trousers that could be tight-fitting and/or colorful. The hardline religious and political establishment considered this level of compliance faulty and called these women ‘bad-hijab’.
Most Iranian women, however, resisted wearing the long black veil, called chador, that the hardline religious and political establishment considered as ‘the ultimate hijab’ and tried to impose by making it mandatory in some government offices and universities. Many women would wear the chador to work or school, if they absolutely had to, but would remove it as soon as they were within a safe distance.
In the past few years, however, some women began to wear their headscarves on their shoulders rather than their heads, in their private vehicles and anywhere else they could not be harassed by the police and vigilantes.
Since the death of the 22-year-old Mahsa Amini in the custody of morality police and the protests that engulfed the country for months many women have discarded their headscarves altogether and vowed never to wear it again so instead of ‘bad-hijab’ women, the Islamic Republic is now facing the phenomenon of ‘hijablessness’ as a form of civil disobedience.

Early-emerging weeds may potentially cause significant yield loss. Burndown herbicide applications are an essential part of weed management. Sequential herbicide application combining different sites of action and foliar and residual activity provide the most effective weed management.
Crops are most vulnerable to weed competition at planting and as the new plants emerge. Significant yield is at risk if weeds are allowed to compete with crops during the first several weeks after planting.1 If not controlled, they can also decrease harvest efficiency and produce seed, which can impact future crops. The presence of early emerging weeds generates several questions important for good weed management:
Timing: Ideally, weeds should be controlled at least a couple of weeks prior to planting to allow for decomposition of the plant material. Planting into existing weeds, or heavy weed residue that has not had time to decay, can interfere with seed placement and reduce emergence due to poor seed-to-soil contact. If the burndown is delayed, planters should be adjusted to compensate for the increased residue.
Starting with clean fields at planting is an essential step for proper weed management:
Tank-mixed herbicides with different sites of action may cause antagonism that affects performance. For example, a fast acting contact herbicide can interfere with the uptake and translocation of a systemic herbicide by quickly shutting down weed growth.
Higher herbicide use rates, ammonium sulfate (AMS), or adjuvants can help overcome antagonism. AMS has been shown to be an effective additive to condition hard water by deactivating antagonist salts (iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium)4, prevent the binding of herbicides to soil particles on leaf surfaces, and improve foliar uptake. Herbicide labels should be checked for all additive rates and restrictions. Some herbicide labels (especially products containing dicamba) restrict the use of AMS.
Environmental conditions affect the rate of weed growth, crop development, crop tolerance to herbicides, and herbicide performance.
Fluctuating day and night temperatures are typical in the spring.
The efficacy of a burndown herbicide application can be reduced by cold temperatures. It is recommended to wait on applying herbicides until nighttime temperatures are above 40°F and daytime temperatures are in the high 50s to low 60s.1 Weed control may be even more effective if there are several days of warmer weather prior to herbicide applications rather than applying on the first warm day of the season.
Low overnight temperatures and slow warming during the day can reduce the rate of weed development. Seedling weeds tend to be more susceptible to soil-applied herbicides under cool conditions because plant emergence is delayed and metabolism is slowed.
Slower weed growth caused by heat, drought, or cold also affects herbicide uptake, translocation, and metabolism that may reduce performance of postemergence herbicides. The best way to limit problems related to warm, dry, or adverse conditions is timely application to small weeds rather than equipment adjustments.3 Usually, postponing a herbicide application is risky because changing weather conditions may delay application until weeds exceed optimum size for good herbicide performance. Most herbicide labels contain statements regarding environmental influences on herbicide performance.
Scout fields and control weeds throughout the season. Proper application timing helps protect yield potential, ensures correct use rate for weed size, and considers the impact of environmental conditions on performance. Weed management tactics for tough-to-control weeds, such as marestail, giant ragweed, kochia, Amaranthus species and others, can be found at http://www.roundupreadyPLUS.com.

Hardliner returns at North Korean plenum, hinting at inter-Korean policy changes
Key leadership event sees relatively few promotions and demotions, despite Kim Yong Chol’s appointment to adviser role
North Korea announced the result of its second party plenum of the year on Monday, notably deriding a “severe defect” in the country’s satellite program that led to its recent launch failure. But despite a delay in kicking off the event, political elites avoided a dramatic reshuffle.
NK Pro analysis shows that there were far fewer demotions and promotions during the latest three-day plenum than at a similar party meeting a year ago this month, a sign of continuity among the DPRK’s political leadership.

DT Kimberly here today to share a card with a sneak peek from the August release.
I used one of the new sets being released next week, called Sticky Note.
The images and sentiments in this set are just so fun! You will love them!
I stamped the cute cactus and sentiment in black ink on watercolor cardstock, then used a few Zig Clean Color brush markers to color in the cactus and added a little water wash to move the colors around. Next, I trimmed the panel down and added a strip of patterned paper from the Spring Color Pop 6×6 paper pad to the left edge and adhered this panel to the white card base. I finished the card off with a few enamel dots.
Thanks so much for stopping by!

As per our current Database, Monte Hale is still alive (as per Wikipedia, Last update: May 10, 2020).
Currently, Monte Hale is 102 years, 5 months and 22 days old. Monte Hale will celebrate 103rd birthday on a Wednesday 8th of June 2022. Below we countdown to Monte Hale upcoming birthday.
|Popular As||Monte Hale|
|Age||101 years old|
|Born||June 8, 1919 (USA)|
Monte Hale’s zodiac sign is Gemini. According to astrologers, Gemini is expressive and quick-witted, it represents two different personalities in one and you will never be sure which one you will face. They are sociable, communicative and ready for fun, with a tendency to suddenly get serious, thoughtful and restless. They are fascinated with the world itself, extremely curious, with a constant feeling that there is not enough time to experience everything they want to see.
Monte Hale was born in the Year of the Goat. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Goat enjoy being alone in their thoughts. They’re creative, thinkers, wanderers, unorganized, high-strung and insecure, and can be anxiety-ridden. They need lots of love, support and reassurance. Appearance is important too. Compatible with Pig or Rabbit.
American B-Western star and singing cowboy Monte Hale was born Samuel Buren Ely in 1919 in Ada, Oklahoma, to Herod and Helen Ely. He learned to sing and play guitar at an early age. In Houston and later Galveston, Texas, he played for vaudeville shows and local rodeos. During World War II a job as a replacement guitar player with the Stars Over Texas War Bond Drive led to a friendship with several Republic Pictures stars and staff. At the completion of the tour, the Republic contingent recommended young Hale to studio president Herbert J. Yates. Hale went to California and met Yates, who saw promise in the tall, good-looking musician, and signed him to a seven-year contract, and promptly discarded his birth name for the more appealing name of Monte Hale. After a quick apprenticeship in a couple of bit parts, Hale was given the lead in Home on the Range (1946), which led to a five-year run as one of Republic's popular singing-cowboy stars.
Following the demise of the "B" western in the early 1950s, Hale toured the country as part of a musical cowboy act in rodeos and circuses. He made a few television guest appearances and taught James Dean his rope tricks during their work together on Giant (1956). Hale thereafter retired from films. In his later years, he wrote songs and continued making appearances at Western film fan conventions.

As we are wont to do here at Incognito HQ, we are doing something a little different with this post. What’s different is that this band only has one song available on its website. Still there are plenty of YouTube videos of this band that give a great idea of what Hot Rod Walt and the Psycho-Devilles are all about. The one song available on the website is “Psycho Cadillac.” This is a great example of a rockabilly tune. It has clean guitars and vocals over rhythms (with a doghouse bass, naturally) that are bound to get people swinging on a dance floor. Vocally, Walt reminds me a lot of Orange County artist Brian Jay, while his guitar parts remind me a lot of Rev. Horton Heat.
If songs about hot rods is one of the things that makes rockabilly, then the band takes another step in the right direction with “Hot Rod Man.” This is basically everything (including an upbeat tempo) you want from a song about a hot rod.
Sure, this band only has one song available on its website, but the more you listen, the more you realize that this band knows its stuff. These guys play rockabilly that is made to get people swinging on a dance floor and I’d say they do that pretty impressively. If you’ve been looking for some good new rockabilly, look no further than Hot Rod Walt and the Psycho-Devilles.

How does Multi-Factor Authentication work?
Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) is the process whereby multiple technologies are used to authenticate the user's identity. In contrast, single factor authentication (or simply “authentication”) uses a single technology to prove the user’s authenticity. With Multi-factor authentication, users must combine verification technologies from at least two different groups or authentication factors.
- Something you know.
This is usually a password, PIN, passphrase or questions and their corresponding answers. In order to satisfy this technology, the user must enter information that the backend can then match against that which has been previously setup or stored.
- Something you have
Before the advent of smartphones, users would carry around tokens or smartcards. These devices would generate a one-time passcode (OTP) that could then be typed or entered into the backend system. Today, most users leverage their smartphone with authenticator app as the device that generates these codes or allows them to respond back to a server with a one-time passcode behind the scenes.
- Something you are.
This is anything from fingerprints, retina scans, facial recognition, voice recognition, or a user’s behavior (such as how hard or fast they type or swipe on a screen) that can be used to identify a unique user.
To achieve multi-factor authentication, at least two different technologies from at least two different technology groups must be used for authentication process. As a result, using a PIN coupled with a password would not be considered multi-factor authentication, while using a PIN with facial recognition as a second factor would be. It is also acceptable to use more than two forms of authentication. However, most users increasingly want frictionless authentication (the ability to be verified without the need to perform verification)
The Difference Between Two-factor and Multi-factor Authentication
The difference between multi-factor authentication and two-factor authentication is straightforward. In order for an authentication solution to be considered two-factor authentication, it must require the user to present two authentication factors, such as “what you have” and “what you know”, to clear the challenge.
Multi-factor authentication is broader. It merely requires the organization to use two or more factors in the authentication process.
Benefits of Multi-factor Authentication
Multi-factor authentication provides several key benefits to organizations using it as part of their security strategy:
- Improved Security
Multi-factor authentication provides increased security over static passwords and single-factor authentication processes.
- Achieves Compliance
Multi-factor authentication can help organizations comply with their industry regulations. For example, MFA is necessary to satisfy the strong authentication requirement of PSD2.
- Increased Flexibility and Productivity
Breaking the reliance on passwords can improve the customer experience. By focusing on low-friction authentication challenges, organizations can potentially increase security and improve the user-experience.
What Are the Types of Multi-factor Authentication Technologies?
- Hardware tokens
Small, easy-to-use hardware devices that an owner carries with them to authorize access to a network service. Supporting strong authentication with one-time passwords (OTPs), these hardware tokens provide the possession factor for multi-factor authentication while enabling enhanced security for banks and application providers who need to secure multiple applications with a single device.
- Soft tokens:
Software or “app-based tokens” generate a one-time use login PIN. Often these tokens are used for multi-factor authentication in which the device – in this case a smartphone – provides the possession factor.
- SMS Text-Message and Voice 2FA:
SMS-text message and voice 2FA provide one-time passwords to the user to authenticate. That password is delivered through a voice message or an SMS-text message to the user’s mobile device.
- Push Notification:
Push notifications deliver the authentication code or one-time password through a push notification on the user’s mobile device. Rather than receiving an SMS message, the notification appears on the lockscreen of the device.
- Visual Cryptogram:
Visual Cryptogram MFA solutions utilize a unique visual challenged contained in a graphical cryptogram consisting of a matrix of colored dots. The customer uses the camera on their mobile device to photograph the cryptogram and decrypt the transaction details housed within.
- Mobile authentication:
Mobile authentication is the process of verifying a user via their phone or verifying the device itself, allowing users to log into secure locations and access resources from anywhere with enhanced security.
- Biometric authentication:
This includes leveraging a fingerprint scan or face recognition to accurately and securely authenticate users, even on mobile devices as well as behavioral authentication which provides an invisible layer of security that continuously authenticates end users by the unique ways they interact with their computer or mobile device via keystroke, swipe pattern, mouse movement and more.
Why Do I Need Multi-Factor Authentication?
Authentication methods that depend on more than one factor are more difficult to compromise than single-factor methods. Accordingly, properly designed and implemented multi-factor authentication methods are more reliable and a stronger deterrent for cyber criminals than outdated single-factor username/password user authentication, which are harder to defend against security breaches, compromising data security. These data breaches could potentially result in serious damage to the consumer or organization with lost / stolen data, identity theft, and phishing attacks, etc.
Multi-factor authentication requires users to prove their identities using two or more verification methods before they can be authenticated. In this way, if one factor is compromised, the attacker still has at least one more barrier to breach before breaking into the target.
Where can I use MFA?
Multi-factor authentication should be used when accessing any sensitive data. For example:
- When you access your bank account at an ATM, you use MFA by having something you know, (the PIN), and something you have, (the ATM Card).
- When you visit your Facebook, Google or Microsoft account from a new location or device, you use multi-factor authentication by having something you know, (the password), and something you have, (your mobile phone that receives the notification you must approve before allowing you to login).
- When you use your mobile phone, you use multi-factor authentication by something you have, (the phone), and something you are, (your fingerprint or facial scan), or other biometric technology available on the device.
- Good multi-factor authentication (MFA) allows you to be secure and provides the ability to do so seamlessly when accessing the features and functions of a service provider.
How do I Get Started with Multi-Factor Authentication?
OneSpan’s multi-factor authentication solutions have been designed from the ground up to safeguard accounts and transactions by offering two or three factors of security, while meeting user demand for a simple sign-in process. OneSpan has invested considerable time and resources to create easy-to-use, scalable, and reliable solutions that deliver strong authentication using a range of easy verification options — such as color QR codes and Bluetooth. These include:


text: Kitchen (Animal Alphabet, Animal Numbers) is a master of finely detailed, beautifully composed portraits of animals; the African animals here are delineated in his usual impeccable style. The story itself is slight. The streaked tenrec--described in a concluding note as something between a shrew and a hedgehog, found only on Madagascar, and now endangered by destruction of its habitat--enjoys weaving little houses from twigs until a grumpy warthog declares the activity a waste of time. So the tenrec polls the other animals--gray parrot, giant anteater, giraffe, pangolin, and more--for their opinions, getting responses that typify the animals and/or satirize humans (adjutant stork is so overcome by his own importance that he forgets the question without answering it), but no helpful answers come till owl points out that ternec's building makes him happy, is harmless to others, and may prove inspirational. The story does serve to carry the lovely illustrations, although the concluding notes on the animals are not adequate, stating that "most of them come from central and southern Africa" but never specifying the exceptions; moreover, it is not stated whether the tenrec's building activity is natural history or fantasy. The book would serve better as a plea for preservation if such facts were made clear.

Are You Pro or Anti-Inflammatory?
With all the conflicting information out there about which foods are pro- or anti- histamine, pro- or anti- inflammatory, it can be difficult to navigate the supermarket. Some anti-inflammatory foods can be high histamine (avocado, walnuts), and high histamine levels lead to inflammation. How do we know what to eat to resolve our chronic inflammation and promote health and wellbeing? As I’ve discussed before, certain healthy foods, while causing some level of inflammation due to one or two constituents (histamine, oxalates, salicylates, etc) may have enough beneficial effects for the body to make them worth incorporating (perhaps in small amounts) into an overall low histamine, anti-inflammatory, nutrient-dense diet plan. At the very least on a longer rotation (but please always rule out allergies and check with a doctor before adding anything new). Since histamine intolerance and mast cell activation are conditions of chronic inflammation, it’s really more important to focus on promoting the resolution of inflammation than agonizing over whether a phytonutrient-rich, higher histamine or salicylate food is completely on or off the diet.

Oban Lorne turn on the style with emphatic shield win over Stewartry
OBAN Lorne welcomed West Division 2 leaders Stewartry to Glencruitten on Saturday in the quarter-final of the West Regional Shield competition.
Stewartry were expected to provide some tough opposition for the Green Machine, having performed well in their league this season and recording an away win last weekend at promotion rivals Cambuslang.
Oban have been improving both in performance and confidence since the turn of the year and impressed despite last week’s 43-27 defeat at Carrick.
Player/coach Corrie Louw made a few changes from last week’s match. A first start was handed to 17-year-old second row Jack Strachan, while Louw’s own inclusion to the starting line-up were the only changes in the pack. In the backline, Finlay Carmichael made a start at scrum-half, allowing Vasco Borisov to move to the wing. Stand-off Dave McCabe had a new centre pairing to control with Kiwi Malcolm Kavanagh making his debut alongside captain Craig Wright.
It was a disastrous start for the home side, who were sleepy from the kick- off and immediately knocked the ball on. Stewartry attacked well in the opening exchanges and spread the ball wide at almost any given opportunity to spread the home defence.
Oban withstood the early onslaught and managed to hack the ball clear and gain some upfield territory with fullback Rudolphe Bertrand winning a penalty after being taken out off the ball. From the resulting lineout, deep in the Stewartry half, Oban attacked well with Dave McCabe pulling the strings to bring dangerous runners such as Calum MacLachlan and Craig Wright into the game.
Ten minutes in, the away defence was breached when prop Robin MacQueen crashed over from short range. Finlay Carmichael’s conversion gave a 7- 0 lead for the home team.
The home side pressed well straight from the kick- off and were looking extremely dangerous in attack. McCabe’s long missed pass to winger Vasco Borsiov out wide resulted in the second try of the day for the home side. Another Carmichael conversion took the score to 14- 0.
At this stage Oban were totally dominating the game and extended their lead midway through the first half with a Carmichael penalty taking the score to 17- 0.
Oban were unlucky not to add further points on 25 minutes as another penalty struck by Carmichael was denied by the posts with the rebound being knocked on at the tryline by the onrushing Malcolm Kavanagh, who was desperate for his first try for the club.
The home side’s dominance continued and they were denied a third try of the day on the half-hour mark with Craig Wright’s try being disallowed due to crossing.
The men in green added to their tally just before half-time with another try. A break down the touchline by prop Rhys Brodie gave a good attacking position in the 22. Brodie’s offload to Corrie Louw was recycled quickly at the breakdown with a charging run by Tommy Sutherland distracting the defence and allowing the ball to be given to Robin MacQueen who scored his second try of the day.
This gave a half-time score of 24- 0 with the home side playing what was certainly their best 40 minutes of rugby so far this season. A couple of changes were made at the break with injured Jack Baxter being replaced by Lorne MacLachlan and Rhys Brodie making way for another debutant, prop Alex Banks.
Stewartry started the second half well and pressed for their first score of the day. The visitors were held up over the line on one occasion but could not build on their positional advantage with a powerful Oban scrum denying them a chance to keep possession.
As the visitors continued to batter away in attack, Oban were brought down to 14 players with Lorne MacLachlan sin-binned for repeated infringements at the breakdown. Some great tackling – in particular from Stephen Povey and Malcolm Kavanagh – denied the visitors further scoring chances.
After soaking up the Stewartry pressure, Oban added to what was becoming a comfortable scoreline with dangerous winger Calum MacLachlan diving over to bring the score to 29- 0.
A further try followed shortly after from Oban’s top scorer Tommy Sutherland who crossed over with a trademark finish from only a metre out. This brought Oban’s points haul to 36- 0 with the team looking hungry to add to the dominant scoreline.
Just as Oban were back to 15 men Stewartry had a player sinbinned, making their defensive effort a little harder going into the last quarter of the game.
Oban looked to have scored their seventh of the day with Alex Banks being held up on the line. Again Oban’s scrummaging power was used to their advantage with the Oban pack dismantling the opposition and allowing number eight Corrie Louw and easy touchdown on the line. Another conversion from Carmichael made it 43- 0.
Credit must be given to Stewartry, who kept putting in a huge defensive effort despite such dominance from the home team. The visitors also worked hard at the breakdown, turning the ball over on more than a few occasions, something that Oban will have to work on moving forward.
Two further tries sealed the game for Oban in the last 10 minutes. Fullback Rudolphe Bertrand made a fantastic break from his own half, passing to Borisov on the wing. The ball was spread wide from left to right, allowing flanker Vladi Mihov to finish off under the posts in acres of space.
The last score of the day came immediately from the kick- off with Corrie Louw offloading to Tommy Sutherland who made one of his best charging runs forward of the season.
The 20 or so metres gained by Sutherland put the defence on the back foot. Oban used the ball well to find Bertrand in space with the Frenchman using his dangerous footwork to race clear and score an impressive try and finish the Oban scoring fest for the day. A final score of 55- 0 was a terrific result for the home XV with some fantastic rugby on show. The result means the team progress to the semi-final of the West Regional Shield, only three wins away from a historic second National Final appearance at BT Murrayfield.
Oban will be hoping for a favourable home tie in the semi-final that should be drawn this week by the SRU West Regional Committee.
Oban Lorne’s next game is at home to promotion- chasing Newton Stewart who can seal the West Division 1 title with a win at Glencruitten on Saturday February 11.
This is shaping up to be a great game with a much improved Oban Lorne looking for some vital points to ease any relegation fears. Kick- off on February 11 is at 3pm.
The Green Machine’s Stephen Povey is held up just short of the Stewartry line during last Saturday’s BT West Regional Shield quarter-final at Glencruitten.
Oban prop Rhys Brodie is tackled by a Stewartry defender.

Using my new Instant Pot was intimidating at first. You can do so many different things with it and there are so many buttons that I didn’t know where to start. I decided to start with this simple vegetable and chicken soup recipe — and once I got the hang of it, I felt like a pro.
Not only does the Instant Pot cook my meals in half the time, but it also simplifies things without all the pots and pans to worry about and fewer dishes to wash. This device does it all.
This vegetable and chicken soup recipe itself is all about warmth and comfort. Full of vegetables and juicy chicken with just the right amount of spices. I still have a few more months of winter to endure where I am, and this soup is going to be a weekly staple to keep my belly warm and soul happy.
Instant Pot Vegetable and Chicken Soup
This soup is all about warmth and comfort. Full of vegetables and juicy chicken with just the right amount of spices.
- 2 lbs chicken bone-in or breasts
- 3 carrots roughly chopped
- 2 celery stalks roughly chopped
- 1 Tbsp equal mixture of dried parsley, oregano, thyme, and rosemary
- 2 whole bay leaves
- 3 cloves garlic crushed
- 1 medium onion diced
- 4 cups organic chicken stock
- 1 Tbsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
In the liner pot, add the chopped vegetables and garlic, whole chicken breasts, and then put the herbs on top.
Add 4 cups organic chicken stock.
Close the lid tightly and close the vent.
Press the “SOUP” button. If it doesn't default to 30 minutes, then use your - and + buttons to adjust the cook time.
When the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally. This may take about 20 minutes.
Open the lid and take out the chicken. Debone the meat if using bone-in chicken, or cut chicken breasts up into bite sized pieces.
Put the meat back into the pot and stir.
Add salt and pepper to taste.

Music and visual art have been the constants in my life since before I can remember.These days I do freelance projects for events of all types , or perhaps a drawing for an article.
But the majority of my time goes in to my art. Ive qualified for an amazing scholarship for artists that is awarded every few years to attend an (up to) 8 week sabbatical to concentrate on your art . I feel very good about the possibility and opportunity this would be! March 1st can't come soon enough!!!
Most of the rest of my time is spent writing and playing music with my band called Old Hat. After a bit of shuffling around of members , I have finally the most amazing team . I couldn't ask for a better crew.
Movie: Take Shelter, The Baxter, also I'm a sucker for comic book adaptations (pretty sexy, I know)
Shows: I was an avid fan of LOST, now I'm into Game of Thrones like everyone else it seems. Took me awhile to jump on the bandwagon but I'm glad I did!
Food: I enjoy it. Except for most seafood, some New Englander I turned out to be!
Music: Chuck Ragan, Lucero, Rumbleseat, The Horrible Crowes, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Clash, The Jam, Desmond Dekker.... lots more.
You're sick of the same old, same old.
You are intelligent.
You are yourself.

Jordan Zimmermann labored through a rare, sub-par start.
Game in a nutshell: The biggest series yet for the Nationals opened with a classic, tense game worthy of a pennant race. Despite jumping out to 4-1 lead after one inning, the Nationals couldn't get anything else going against Tim Hudson. Jordan Zimmermann, meanwhile, labored through five innings and let the Braves come back to tie the game. Then it turned into a battle of bullpens, with both teams having golden opportunities to push across the go-ahead run but neither able to pull it off. Into the night the game went, with only the hearty souls among the original crowd of 21,298 sticking around until the very end. And then finally, a crazy finish to reward them: Danny Espinosa went from first to third on Kurt Suzuki's infield single, then scored when Dan Uggla couldn't get the ball out of his glove on Chad Tracy's grounder to second. With that, the Nats pulled off a stunning, 5-4, win and took a six-game lead in the NL East.

Beer and cake seem an unlikely pair, but that doubt quickly dissipates once you’ve had a sip of a Moody Tongue brew and a forkful of the Pilsen brewery's 12-layer, German chocolate stunner.
It got us wondering: Where else can we find unexpected chocolate and booze pairings that work remarkably well?
1. Chocolate chip cookies and whiskey
The Lunatic, The Lover & The Poet (736 W. Randolph St.)
"I've been drinking bourbon most of my adult life and I have loved chocolate chip cookies longer than that, and I never had them together," says Tom Powers, managing partner of the West Loop wine bar.
This shortcoming dawned on him one quiet night at home early this summer while sipping his favorite beverage in close proximity to the cookie jar. He then did what was long overdue.
"There's a natural marriage in the brown sugar and chocolate in the cookie and the whiskey in the bourbon, and as you explore different whiskeys, it brings out their different flavors," Powers says.
But what good was this knowledge without sharing it? In July, Powers organized a whiskey-and-cookie tasting, offering three 1-ounce pours of whiskey and two cookies for $35. He did it again last week. As of this week, it's every Thursday.
The whiskey choices will rotate. The cookie will not. Soft in the center, crispy on the edges, gooey with semisweet chips (though Powers says he might swap them for dark chocolate at some point), it's an iteration of the one Mindy Segal perfected at his request when both worked at Marche, Powers as general manager, Segal as pastry chef.
The cookie "works remarkably well with a wide array of whiskey," says Powers, especially Japanese varieties with their crisp, clear notes. But the standout whiskey so far has been Widow Jane out of Brooklyn. "It has the right kind of sweetness. There is unequivocally a uniquely chocolate element to it," he says.
2. Salted dark chocolate caramels and a gimlet
North Shore Distillery (13990 Rockland Rd., Green Oaks)
The north suburban distillery's food menu is limited by design, but co-owner Sonja Kassebaum always includes at least one sweet, usually something chocolate. "It has a nice pairing capability with a range of spirits and cocktails," she says.
Case in point: salted dark chocolate caramels currently on offer at the tasting room ($2 for 1, $5 for 3). While these aren’t from her favorite source, Katherine Anne Confections, they work just as gorgeously with her suggested drink, the Ginger Gimlet ($10), made with Distiller's Gin No. 6, fresh lime juice, and ginger simple syrup.
"The ginger plays nicely off the caramel notes, but the acidity from the lime helps cleanse the palate so that neither overwhelms the other," she says. "Each bite of caramel is a new bite. That's what I try to do with pairing anything, but especially dessert."
Kassebaum is saving her other knockout pairing for later this fall, when it tends to sell better: chocolate-covered potato chips and a classic Old Fashioned. "The alcohol is a good balancer, and with the citrus and bitter notes, it helps cleanse the palate so you can go back in for more salty and fatty and go around the circle again," she says.
3. Chocolate ganache and vermouth
Rootstock Wine Bar (954 N. California Ave.)
A single, silky quenelle of chocolate ganache ($2) is the only dessert at this Humboldt Park wine bar. It's topped with a seasonal fruit preserve—blueberry right now—drizzled with olive oil and dotted with sea salt, it goes well with port, madeira, and cognac, all of which owner Tonya Pyatt will gladly suggest. But recently, beverage manager Jamie McLennan turned her onto a pour he says trumps them all: a made-in-Brooklyn vermouth.
Whatever botanicals Uncouth Vermouth founder Bianca Miraglia doesn't forage to make her wine, she grows on her upstate New York farm. "She also doesn't believe in adding sweetness, which is very uncommon in vermouth production," McLennan says.
Rootstock carries three Uncouth vermouths: apple mint, hops, and—the one you want—wild raspberry ($12 for a 2-ounce pour). How it plays out with the ganache is "fascinating," McLennan says. "Both are bitter, tangy, and a touch salty, which helps them play nicely off one another, and the moderate sweetness of the chocolate really intensifies the flavor of the wild raspberries, which is what I find truly delicious."


A group of 25 House members has formed a bipartisan caucus with the goal to protect the privacy rights of citizens from government surveillance programs, USA Today reported Wednesday.
Erin Kelly writes 13 Republicans and 12 Democrats created the House Fourth Amendment Caucus in an effort to uphold Americans’ privacy amid requests from government authorities for access to personal information of individuals.
Reps. Zoe Lofgren (D-California) and Ted Poe (R-Texas) spearhead the group, Kelly reports.
The coalition uses the Fourth Amendment as the basis for its establishment and considers the government’s attempt to search electronic data from citizens as a threat to the Constitutional amendment’s provisions, according to the report.
“In the face of difficult circumstances, some are quick to pursue extreme, unconstitutional measures; the Fourth Amendment Caucus will be a moderating influence that gives voice to countless Americans whose rights are violated by these ill-conceived policies,” said Rep. Justin Amash (R-Michigan).

[[wysiwyg_imageupload:1514:]]The DC Comics reboot sees its one year anniversary this coming September, and they plan on renumbering every issue that month for a special zero issue.
The #0 issue will focus on flashbacks and origins, according to Bleeding Cool.
October will see the regular numbering back to normal with issue #13.
We've already seen both Action Comics and Justice League take place five years prior to the "New 52," so the other titles could follow along that line.
The zero numbered issues will bring back memories of DC's 1994 storyline, "Zero Hour." There, the tie-in issues for the event were all numbered zero, with the main title counting down from #4. I think DC used this as a "reboot" of sorts as well.
What do you think of DC Comics offering zero issues for the entire month of September? Let us know in the comments below.
