I’d like to be able to have instances of NiFi running behind an AWS load balancer such that, if there is a surge of inbound requests (e.g., through AWS API Gateway), then AWS will auto-launch EC2 instances that fire up NiFi with my particular processor topology.
I’m not asking for a step-by-step HOWTO guide, but could someone point me toward any literature / previous guides / etc. that might help me in this effort?
A NiFi cluster can scale up pretty easily, but scaling down involves a lot more steps.
A new instance can be added to an existing cluster by simply configuring the new NIFI instance with the same NiFi conf directory files. If the cluster is secured, you would need to provide a new keystore and copy the existing truststore from another node.
On startup, the new NiFi will connect with the cluster and pull-down the cluster's flow.xml.gz, user.xml, and authorizations.xml files. It will then build all its local repositories based on defined paths from the nifi.properties file.
Any Remote Process Groups pointing at this cluster will learn about this new node on ext update (default 30 seconds).
Scaling down is a more complicated process.
Since a node now has active data, that node would need to be disconnected form cluster. Then its ingest processors stopped. Once all data has finished processing through all its dataflows, it could be shutdown completely. The node could then be dropped completely from cluster which is another manual step.

Last year in New York City, a 19-year-old engineering student named Nayla Kidd went completely off the grid. She changed bank accounts, cell phone providers, shut down her social media, and ditched her Ivy League college to move to Bushwick and become an artist and model, all without ever informing anyone in her life. Social media jumped all over the story, and then news outlets followed suit. Kidd was a missing person for around two weeks when the police finally found her.
I remember reading her post-discovery missive in The New York Post, complete with discussions about her fancy boarding school, full scholarship to Columbia University, calculated plans, the loving mom who had clearly sacrificed for her, and thinking it was a story of the ultimate callousness. She’d had everything, but she said the pressure was entirely too much, that she’d wanted to run away and have the fun life she saw in an East Williamsburg loft she was thinking of renting. I remember reading it, sitting there and staring at the the words while thinking of my own picture plastered across subways and bus stations. How could she do such a thing intentionally? Didn’t she understand what it was like to be truly lost, to need help? Didn’t she understand that so many people were, that it was not some game?
Perhaps I was jealous. When my mental illness made me a missing person in 2010, the NYPD suggested to my friends who reported me missing that I had run off to follow a band. Though my friends set up a cross-country network of activists looking for me in any of the places they thought I might have been, the NYPD did little. Had the cops accessed my bank account, or even looked at my Metrocard swipes (an investigation practice well-established by law enforcement by 2010), they’d have easily figured out that I wandered around the city aimlessly for days before taking a bus to my hometown and checking myself into a hospital. When I saw Kidd’s story, I thought of all the resources that had gone into her “case,” and all of those of us who really were lost, unhealthy, and scared, who were given little to no help.
Alone in a hospital bed that year, unknown, technically still “missing,” my head still a wash of paranoia and confusion, I began to entertain a fantasy. What if I moved to the Midwest? Changed my name? My gender? Grew a beard? They were thoughts I couldn’t remember ever before having had, but they seemed exactly like what I should do in that moment. I had a vision of myself, flat-chested, wearing a white Hanes T-shirt, a genderless pair of Levis, and combat boots. What if I disappeared from all the people in my life? Started over as someone new? I was not well at the time — I was also standing in front of the mirror thinking about a bug I was certain had entered into my skin and had been living in my bloodstream for years, something I now know is obviously not true — but having disappeared from everyone in my life successfully, I began to wonder, “What if I really need to disappear?”
Years later, it wasn’t until I remembered this fantasy that I began to empathize with Nayla Kidd.

Arm balances can be some of the most fun and exhilarating yoga poses to practice, but for a lot of people, they can be scary and intimidating. For one, most people have a fear of falling. Even though we constantly say that yoga is a practice and that it’s ok to fall, people automatically correlate falling with failure. Second, a lot of people shy away from arm balances because they feel like they don’t have the balance or the upper body strength. If you think about it, we don’t use our arms, shoulders and chest that often. We are on our feet most of the time, so it’s pretty common, especially for women, to lack the upper body strength that is needed to do some of these poses.
A great way to start building balance and upper body strength for arm balances is practicing plank pose (maybe adding in some mini push-ups) and downward dog. Practicing plank is great because it forces you to engage your arms, strengthening the weight bearing muscles of the arm that are crucial for succeeding in more advanced arm balances.
Arm balances have a few very important benefits. They can help build upper body strength which in turn, builds bone density which over time, can prevent the loss of mineralization in the bones in the upper body – also known as osteoporosis. Arm balances also require a certain amount of balance which can prevent falls and broken bones which is important especially as we get older.

Are you female and have a criminal record? We want to hear from you!
A criminal record can be a real obstacle in getting on in life. What we don’t know is whether women face additional barriers that men don’t.
Last year, we published a report (A life sentence for young people) that looked at the specific problems people face from criminal records they acquired in their youth. In July this year, we published a report (Double discrimination?) that focused on the impact of criminal records as perceived by people from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds.
Now we want to understand the structural barriers women face in terms of their criminal record.
Although our focus is mainly on the issues that women have faced after they’ve received their criminal record, we’re also keen to identify any issues that might relate to earlier on in the process that had an impact later on in terms of the criminal record and its consequences.
We’re keen to hear from women with every type of criminal record – so whether you’ve been fined, spent time in prison, had a caution or spent time on probation, we want to hear from you about the problems your criminal record has caused for you.
We also want to hear from practitioners and organisations that have experience in this area.
Your answers will be treated in confidence and will directly inform our recommendations for structural and practical changes. These recommendations will be shared with people who have the power to make things better.
So what do we want to know?
There’s also an option to put your email address if you’re happy for us to contact you about your response.
We’re also keen to have contributions from practitioners and organisations that work with women. These can be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.org.
The survey will close on Monday 14th October.
Thank you for your support.

Böhme , T., Childerhouse, P., Deakins, E. & Towill, D. (2011). Supply chain integration in New Zealand: benchmark comparisons with the UK automotive sector. International Journal of Logistics and Transport, 5(1), 85-92.

Supply chain integration is a promising approach to cross-enterprise process improvement that is still not well understood. This research investigates the level of sophistication (maturity) of supply chain integration in New Zealand from the systems uncertainty perspective. Uncertainty levels of value streams are evaluated using the 'uncertainty circle' concept, thereby enabling benchmark comparisons of value stream performance. A sample of 21 NZ process industry value streams is assessed using a so-called Quick Scan Audit Methodology (QSAM). and the uncertainty results compared with those obtained from 21 value streams in the UK automotive sector. This benchmarking revealed that value streams in New Zealand are weakly integrated and have control mechanisms which are significantly looser than those of the UK sample, even though they face higher uncertainty on the control and demand sides. In contrast, crosscountry differences in supply and process uncertainty are marginal. While providing insights into the general health of New Zealand value streams, the authors acknowledge that the sample is not a comprehensive representation of every NZ value stream.

Despite graduating countless previous top prospects, the Chicago Cubs’ system remains strong – and could impact the roster significantly in the near future.
The Chicago Cubs are now in year six of the Theo Epstein era. After joining the Cubs in 2011, Epstein started to rebuild the franchise from the ground up. Over the next few seasons, Epstein drafted players like Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber and Albert Almora.
In addition to drafting top-tier prospects, Epstein has also pulled off several lopsided trades. Guys like Kyle Hendricks, Jake Arrieta and Anthony Rizzo have been acquired in trades that fell heavily in favor of Chicago.
Epstein, as well as the rest of the Cubs front office, has done a great job in stockpiling top talent in the minors. Last year, that painful rebuilding effort paid off when the Cubs won their first World Series title in 108 years.
Just because the Cubs have graduated top prospect after top prospect from their farm system does not mean the system is depleted. In fact, many experts have ranked the Cubs system right around the middle of the pack for the 2017 season. That is not bad considering the amount of talent that has moved up to the majors the last three seasons.

The Improve phase is the fourth step in the DMAIC model of Six Sigma. After identifying and validating the root causes of process problems in the Analyze phase, the Improve phase aims to develop, test, and implement effective solutions for these identified root causes to enhance process performance.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of the different steps involved in the Improve phase.
1. Generate Potential Solutions:
- Brainstorm, research, or use established best practices by benchmarking to other departments or competitors to develop a list of potential solutions addressing the root causes.
- Apply the concepts of lean and innovative thinking to address existing root causes.
2. Evaluate and Select the Best Solutions:
- Assess the impact, ease of implementation, and overall effectiveness of the potential solutions using tools like Pugh Matrix, decision matrices, or cost-benefit analysis.
- Prioritize solutions that have the highest potential to deliver improvements while considering resource availability and potential risks.
3. Develop a Plan for Testing the Solutions:
- Create a detailed plan for testing the chosen solutions, including specific methodologies, timelines, and required resources.
- Use pilot tests or small-scale implementations to assess the solution’s effectiveness before full-scale process changes are undertaken.
4. Implement the Solutions:
- Deploy the selected solutions following the plan created, with a focus on effectively managing change and minimizing disruptions.
- Ensure that proper training, communication, and support are in place for the team and stakeholders who will be involved in or affected by the solution.
5. Monitor and Measure the Results:
- Track KPIs and other relevant metrics to evaluate the effectiveness of the implemented solutions.
- Compare the results against the baseline performance established in the Measure phase to demonstrate the level of improvement achieved.
6. Adjust and Optimize the Solutions:
- Based on the ongoing monitoring and measurement of results, identify any further optimization or adjustments required for the solution.
- Iterate this process of implementing adjustments and measuring the outcomes until the desired performance improvements are realized.
The Improve phase forms a crucial part of the DMAIC Six Sigma methodology. This phase’s objective is to implement the most effective solutions to resolve the identified root causes, driving significant and lasting improvements in business processes.


Chanel names Emmanuelle Walle as new director of international press relations and fashion public relations
Chanel has named Emmanuelle Walle as its new director of international press relations and fashion public relations in a significant change in its communications team.
Walle succeeds Laurence Delamare, who has been appointed director of 7L and editorial fashion narration. A highly experienced bilingual executive, Delamare “has contributed to the development of fashion press relations since joining the house in 2004,” Chanel said in an official release.
The Left Bank bookstore 7L is an important cultural institution in Paris, which was opened by Karl Lagerfeld in 1999. Besides specializing in photo and architecture books, 7L was also the location of many of the late great designer’s most famous photo shoots.
Walle first joined Chanel in 2019 to head press relations within its Perfume and Beauty division, where she helped widen the visibility of projects as varied as "Beauty is cultivated" or the 100th anniversary of No. 5, the house’s iconic scent.
“Her expertise will be a major asset in facilitating the community of influencers and dialogue with the press,” added Chanel in its release. Walle’s successor at the beauty division has not been named.
Walle can boast of a long career in media before moving into press and public relations. Prior to joining Chanel, Walle was editorial manager for Vogue.fr and editor-in-chief of beauty and style for several women's press magazines. She also held various international communications management roles at L'Oréal and Cartier.
The newly promoted Walle will report to Bruno Pavlovsky, president of fashion activities of Chanel and Chanel SAS.
Walle’s promotion comes barely three weeks after the retirement of Marie-Louise de Clermont-Tonnerre, who first created Chanel’s PR department and exited after an exalted half-century career at the famed maison.

George Zimmerman, who shot and killed Trayvon Martin in Sanford, Florida, has been arrested and charged with 2nd degree murder. Hopefully, everyone will get their day in court. In addition to George Zimmerman being tried, the Florida law nick-named “Stand Your Ground” will undergo scrutiny.
The first team of Zimmerman lawyers is off the case now. They removed themselves.
Zimmerman turned himself in and is now in custody.
I hope he can get a fair trial.
Is Rick Santorum suggesting that heterosexuals hide who they are also? Do they lock their children away in the attic along with their wives? Is Santorum too young to realize that DADT was also “social experiementation?” It was an incremental step created by President Bill Clinton to fulfill a campaign promise to gays regarding military service. He met with such resistance he had to offer DADT as an alternative to ending the ban on gays in the military to ward off serious Congressional sanctions/legislation.
Santorum really doesn’t get that being homosexual isn’t always about sex. He totally overlooks the state of being component. How does he propose to put that genie back in the bottle?
And as for those trash-a$$es that booed a service member who is honorably serving his country–SHAME ON THEM. They simply have no class. Regardless of how one feels, the booing was totally unacceptable.
Jon Stewart is going on vacation again for 10 days. grrrrrrr

All day and yesterday I heard Michelle Obama criticized for her speech to the NAACP. I am not sure why. What is to criticize about her remarks? Why should she not urge the leading black activist group to continue their work toward children? Would people feel differently if we substitute the word American Indian?
Being an outsider has its pitfalls. Such is the case with Rand Paul. Rand Paul is a neophyte and he stepped into the macaca up to his knees–maybe even deeper. In an interview with Rachel Maddow, Rand Paul got on to the subject of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
How can legislation that is nearly 50 years old trip up anyone? Just ask Rand Paul. According to Politico:
In interviews with NPR and MSNBC on Wednesday, Paul indicated unease with the Civil Rights Act’s ban on discrimination by private businesses — sparking a political blaze that threatened to engulf his campaign even before he finished relishing his landslide primary win.
The candidate eased fears some by issuing a damage-control statement stating his opposition to discrimination and doing an interview with conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham in which he seemed to acknowledge the necessity of the Civil Rights Act.
In fairness to Maddow, she gave him every opportunity to self correct. He did not seize the opportunity. He continued to disavow discrimination but did not come out and say he would have voted for the Civil Rights Bill. And the silence was deafening.
The video is long but covers the entire interview.
Civil Rights are defined as: the right to vote, the right to serve on a jury, the right to hold public office and the right to serve as a notary public. if someone is convicted of felony, then one loses these civil rights. Virginia Constitution says, “No person who has been convicted of a felony shall be qualified to vote unless his civil rights have been restored by the governor.” There is no limitation on the governor’s power to restore rights, and no mention of having to report the names of such people to the General Assembly.
According to c-ville.com:
Virginia and Kentucky are the only two states that do not automatically restore convicted felons’ civil rights. Most states restore these rights upon the completion of a prison sentence, probation or parole. In Virginia, felons convicted of a nonviolent offense must wait three years after completing all court obligations—sentencing, fines and probation—then file an application for the restoration of rights to the Secretary of the Commonwealth.
If your conviction is for a violent offense —or a drug manufacturing or distribution offense—the process is much more difficult.
The nonviolent offender’s application is two pages. The violent application is 12. Iachetta calls the violent felony forms cumbersome. “They’re horrible,” she says.
After waiting five years after all court obligations, a person convicted of a violent felony must obtain a burdensome collection of paperwork: a letter from your most recent probation or parole officer, copies of your pre- or post-sentence report, certified copies of every order of conviction and sentencing orders, three letters of reference and, to top it off, a personal letter to the Governor explaining your convictions and how your life has changed.
Iachetta says that roughly half of the people she sees who start the process don’t complete it.
“There’s got to be an easier way,” says Iachetta. “I don’t know at this point what it is. The process can be streamlined. That being said, until it happens, we’ve got to deal with what we’ve got.”
[Note: Iachetta is Charlottesville's general registrar]
Governor Bob McDonnell has added another hoop for former felons to jump through. He is now proposing that those who want voting rights restored must write an essay outlining their contributions to society since their release, Civil Rights leaders and many others interested in prisoner rights, are outraged by this plan. They say it targets minorities, the poor and the under-educated and denies them of their civil rights. Others are cheering on McDonnell for ‘meaning business.’
McDonnell defends his own plan in the Washington Post:
McDonnell’s administration said the essay requirement is designed to put a human face on each applicant and to help staff members better understand each person’s situation.
“It gives all applicants the opportunity to have their cases heard and have their full stories told,” said Janet Polarek, secretary of the commonwealth, whose office handles the requests. “It’s an opportunity, not an obstacle.”
McDonnell is revamping the entire system for felons to have their rights restored as he works to make good on a campaign pledge to process every application within 90 days, considerably faster than any other administration in recent history.
“Under Republican and Democratic governors, they have had to wait six to 12 months — longer in some cases — to get an answer,” Polarek said. “Under the McDonnell administration, our goal is to restore the rights of everyone who has fulfilled their obligation in the most timely manner in Virginia’s recent history.”
For those who have difficulty with literacy, writing an essay seems like an immovable obstacle. Where in the Virginia Constitution can this kind of requirement be found? Many prisoners and past prisoners suffer from the same malady; under-education plagues prisoners. To ask someone with limited education to write an essay might just fall into the realm of cruel and unusual punishment.

2. An uncivil or discourteous act.
Just for a moment, remove any accusation of racial slur, the N-word, or spitting. How many of us would like to be an older black man having to walk through an angry mob of white people screaming, taunting, booing, hissing and whatever else they were doing. Those congressman practically had to part the white sea to even move through the crowd.
In the first place, the crowd should not have been that close. The congressmen should have had police escort. I found myself having bad flashbacks to things I have seen on TV throughout my life, things that were going on during my lifetime. No one should dismiss it. Those men were brave to make that walk. If one of them said he was spat on, then he was. Perhaps it was just the spray from the vehenom of hatred spewing from a protestors mouth, but spit is spit–stream, lunger or spray, all gross.

OXFORD, MS – The American Civil Liberties Union filed a lawsuit today against a Mississippi High School that has canceled prom rather than let a lesbian high school student attend the prom with her girlfriend and wear a tuxedo to the event. In papers filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Mississippi, the ACLU asks the court to reinstate the prom for all students at the school and charges Itawamba County School District officials are violating Constance McMillen’s First Amendment right to freedom of expression.
“All I wanted was the same chance to enjoy my prom night like any other student. But my school would rather hurt all the students than treat everyone fairly,” said McMillen, an 18-year-old senior at Itawamba Agricultural High School in Fulton, Mississippi. “This isn’t just about me and my rights anymore – now I’m fighting for the right of all the students at my school to have our prom.”
How about let’s just alter this scene just a little bit. How about if the girl didn’t say she was a lesbian and 2 girls just showed up at the door to go to prom, like unromantic friends. Would they be denied admission? What is wrong with schools?
There was a suggestion made that a private group should sponsor a private prom for ”people like this.’ Now just what is that supposed to mean? I read in the paper that Bull Run Unitarian Universalist Church did sponsor a special prom for gay and lesbian students last spring. Good for them. That church is a real standard bearer for helping those who are under-represented. I hope they will do that every year, despite the fact that local bloggers (many who claim to be good Christians) had a field day and made extremely disparaging remarks about the church and the kids. It’s easy to point fingers. Its harder to step up to the plate and provide for those amongst us who might not have an advocate.
Most of the time I think the ACLU is a pain in the ass. I think we are supposed to think that. However, this is one time I am glad they are out there, defending those who might not otherwise have a line of defense. Schools need realize that gay and lesbian students are not all closeted like they were a generation ago, not should they be.
If the school wants to ensure that people’s sensibilities are not offended, it needs to address the behavior of everyone coming to the dance. It needs to set standards of conduct and stick to its guns. It should demand the same lines of decency from the heterosexual students as it is obviously going to do with the homosexual students. They can all do their dirty dancing after the prom.
Three years after the FBI promised to investigate more than 100 unresolved civil rights-era killings, they have made some surprising discoveries. Most of the cases will close without indictments. . The investigations led to very few indictments even though most of the cases were technically solved. The passage of time left many witnesses too traumatized by events, witnesses and perpetrators dead and other problems that are unique to cold cases.
How far have we come since that speech was given by Dr. Martin Luther King almost 47 years ago? Has Dr. King’s dream been fulfilled or even come close? Has prejudice been stamped out or is it seething right beneath the surface? The term ‘racism’ is still thrown about, perhaps more than it was during Dr. King’s day. Has it become a catch all?
Stop! Doesn’t having an African-American president satisfy the dream? We no longer have segregation. Or do we? Is there invisible segregation and if so, whose fault is it? Perhaps we don’t even want to answer these questions. Perhaps they make us as uncomfortable as discussing what Harry Reid meant by ‘Negro dialect.’
Finally, could the door to equality have ever been opened through the legislative process? Was it necessary for the Courts to open the door? I remember seeing “Impeach Earl Warren” signs as a kid. Were those the forerunners of the expression’ Judicial activism?’
For those of us who missed the speech in August, 1963…
December 29 marks the 119th anniversary of what has come to be known as the Wounded Knee Massacre. It is often cited as the last major Indian Battle involving United States troops. The Wounded Knee Massacre, December 29, 1890, took place along the banks of the Wounded Knee Creek in South Dakota on what is now known as the Pine Ridge Lakota Reservation.
Wounded Knee has become symbolic of US Army abuse towards native peoples. In fact, Wounded Knee became an armed camp as late as 1973 as militant American Indians battled federal officials one more time. Basically local Lakota called for an outside radical group to come straighten out things at Pine Ridge Reservation. Several people on both sides were killed and/or wounded. (see video link below)
Several posts and comments have been about the Souix and about Pine Ridge specifically. Many of the young people on that reservation have become involved with gangs. When one stops and thinks about the tragedy these people have seen, it is almost understandable. The Souix were programmed for a life of poverty by our government. The Souix were not all one big tribe, but a nation of various tribes. The Souix reservation was carved up into 5 smaller reservations. The Black Hills, sacred lands to the Lakota, were taken from them. Some of their lands were sold for a pittance. Children were sent off to boarding school, had their long hair cut off, were given white names and were not allowed to speak their own native language. Most of this history has happened since the Massacre at Wounded Knee.
My grandmother was born October 30, 1890. I knew her quite well. She was not an Indian but I often try to put things in time perspective. Somehow the fact that this massacre happened after her birth makes it harder to accept, hard to deal with as it certainly is not part of ancient history. In fact, 1890 is getting darn close to modern times. The auto had been invented and the airplane was only a decade or so off. How can things like this massacre happen in the United States of America?
The poverty on some of these reservations is simply unimaginable. These people are the real Native Americans, not us. Do we have an obligation to make certain that Native Americans and Native American culture survive? Can they survive in the extreme poverty that many who have not assimilated still live? What do we have to do?
Are American Indians often their own worst enemies? Are their spokespeople standing on principle rather than practicality? In 1980 the Supreme Court awarded the Lakota $106 million dollars for the Black Hills treaty violation. They refused to take the money. They wanted the land. At what point do they decide that they will never get the land back and to take the money? Are those who are standing on pride representing all the people? I can only imagine what $106 million dollars would do to help overcome some of the root problems on reservations.

I did something yesterday I never thought I would do. I spent the morning explaining to people of very different generations who Pete Seeger is. One of them is my own daughter. I had always thought she knew a great deal about music. Another was a person slightly older than I am. Then there were the in-betweens. To me, not knowing who Pete Seeger is is like, not knowing who Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley, Bruce Springsteen or Bob Dylan is. Perhaps I exaggerate……. The History Channel and PBS are my friends. There have been several terrific shows about Pete Seeger.
A civil rights icon from the 50’s and 60’s, simply known as Odetta, died Tuesday from heart disease. Folk music aficionados have followed Odetta for 60 years. She sung a mixture of blues, jazz, and folk music. She has left a legacy of music. No soundtrack of the American Civil Rights movement would be complete without her music.
She influenced musicians like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Joan Baez, and Janis Joplin. She performed for JFK, marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, and was awarded National Endowment for the Arts Medal of the Arts and Humanities by President Bill Clinton in 1999. The next year she won a grammy.
Odetta had hoped to sing at Obama’s inauguration

Street blockades divide opinion in Venezuela
Barricades have become a common sight during the recent wave of anti-government protests in Venezuela. BBC Mundo's Vladimir Hernandez in Caracas takes a closer look at who is erecting them and why their use is controversial.
For motorists in Venezuela, smoke is currently a sure-fire sign that there is trouble ahead and the road is closed.
During weeks of student-led anti-government demonstrations, burning barricades have become the most popular form of protest.
But the blockades have divided minds even within the opposition as they cause disruption to entire neighbourhoods and make it difficult for people to get to work and home again.
Those behind the barricades argue that the economic and social climate in Venezuela is so bad that they have to resort to guerrilla-style tactics to get a response from the government of President Nicolas Maduro.
"Many of us think that, yes, it is a shame that someone can't go to work because of our actions. But if we don't protest now, maybe in 10 years that person won't have a job to go to," says Laura Candent, a university student in her 20s, referring to Venezuela's poor economic state, one of the main reasons behind recent protests.
"We are demonstrating because we have the worst crime rate in Latin America, and the inflation rate is 50% or 60%. Our dreams of the future as young people have been completely shattered," adds Leoncio Marichal, another university student.
The "guarimbas", as Venezuelans call these barricades, have been evolving since the protests started earlier this month.
When they first sprang up, they were little more than piles of rubbish and cardboard boxes, which would be set alight at night.
They were easily removed by the Venezuelan security forces and those guarding them were quickly dispersed when teargas and rubber bullets were fired.
Now, they are almost fortress-like structures. made out of bricks, mattresses, wooden planks and sometimes even barbed wire.
Those who erect them now resort to hit-and-run tactics. When the riot squads move in, they hide. When the riot squads move out, they return and rebuild.
Travelling across the capital, Caracas, after sunset can be eerie as solitary tyres burn in streets which should be busy with rush-hour traffic but which are completely deserted except for the barricades.
Most of the blockades have been erected in the eastern part of Caracas, a traditional opposition stronghold.
But some barricades have sprung up in Chavista areas, where supporters of President Nicolas Maduro and his predecessor in office, Hugo Chavez, live.
The president has denounced those who build the barricades as "fascists" and blamed them for the death of a motorcyclist whose throat was slit when he accidentally drove into barbed wire strung across a road.
Some Venezuelans say the guarimbas are counterproductive, especially when they are erected in residential areas rather than commercial thoroughfares.
They argue that those who suffer are local residents, and that the political impact is limited.
"They are violating my right of transit," courier Carolina Fajardo tells the BBC.
Business and shops in some parts of Caracas have suffered as a result, and been unable to open for several days.
Taxi drivers have also complained about the effect the barricades are having on their business,
"Many drivers are refusing to work at night because they think it can be dangerous," says Juan, a Caracas taxi driver who does not want to give his last name.
"We normally have around 50 drivers available at night. But now we are only seeing around 10 willing to go out," he adds.
'Within the law'
Motorists fear getting caught up in operations by the security forces, which have been accused of using heavy-handed tactics against the protesters.
President Maduro told the BBC that the response by the security forces had been "strictly within the law", but many would rather not risk being near a barricade when the police and military move in to dismantle it.
None of the opposition leaders in Venezuela has publicly backed the use of barricades as a form of protest, but neither have they strongly condemned it.
Many Venezuelans remember that in 2002, opponents of then-President Chavez also carried out a series of street blockades.
Some analysts say discontent with the disruption it caused cost the opposition votes in subsequent elections.
Over a decade later, the opposition fears that the very barricades erected in protest at the government could actually have the effect of strengthening those in power.

$100,000 GRAND PRIZE SLOTS TOURNAMENT WINNER
Since January, More Than 20 Participating Casinos and All Carnival Ships Have Given Away Hundreds of Free Carnival Cruises in Shipboard Spin N Sail Promotion
MIAMI – The final cruise in the year-long Wheel of Fortune® slot machines 20th anniversary sponsored by Carnival Cruise Line and IGT ended Nov. 16 with a grand prize winner named.
Kenneth Gass of Sturgis, Ky., an avid cruiser with Carnival for more than 18 years, won the $100,000 grand prize from the $200,000 prize pool slots tournament during the Carnival Magic cruise from Port Canaveral, Fla. This jackpot marks the cruise line’s largest prize pool of all time. The promotion commemorated a year-long celebration recognizing two decades of IGT’s Wheel of Fortune slot machines, which are featured in Carnival Cruise Line casinos fleetwide.
As part of the Spin N Sail promotion, more than 20 land-based casinos, DoubleDown Casino online social casino and all Carnival Cruise Line ships, gave away hundreds of cruises on Carnival Magic, with the top 40 winners receiving cash prizes. The 350-plus tournament players came from a mix of Carnival past guests, players from partner casinos and contest winners.
Carnival and IGT also partnered with the most successful syndicated game show in television history for the first-ever Carnival Cruise Line Wheel of Fortune-themed week that featured an exciting viewer sweepstakes.
Carnival Cruise Line and IGT
During 2016, Carnival and IGT’s partner casinos gave away hundreds of free cruises aboard Carnival Magic, with winners participating in the onboard Spin N Sail slot tournament featuring the IGT Wheel of Fortune slot machines during an eight-day Caribbean cruise that departed Nov. 12, 2016. Leading casinos across the U.S. and Canada hosted qualifying events where each winning player was awarded a free cruise for two and an entry into the grand finale $200,000 tournament.
Introduced in 1996, the Wheel of Fortune slot machines have become a player favorite in shipboard casinos, including 25 Carnival Cruise Line vessels, as well as in land-based casinos. IGT has placed more than 230 versions of Wheel of Fortune slots in casinos around the world, and the game has awarded more than $3 billion in jackpots and minted more than 1,000 millionaires.

Additionally, each sailing featured a Wheel of Fortune prize wheel offering prizes ranging from Carnival logo items and Casino Cash to entry into the $200,000 Spin N Sail slot tournament.
Wheel of Fortune
The 20th anniversary Wheel of Fortune Slots festivities also included a “Spin & Sail Week” last spring with five Carnival Cruise Line–themed episodes of the iconic game show that inspired the slot machine. “Spin & Sail Week” aired March 21-25, 2016, and featured a custom, tropical-themed set with high-definition Carnival ship images and video. Contestants competed to win Carnival cruises to such destinations as the Caribbean, Mexico, Hawaii and Alaska.
Prior the broadcast, Pat Sajak, Vanna White and the “Wheel of Fortune” crew shot customized segments aboard a Carnival Cruise Line ship.
The “Wheel of Fortune Spin & Sail Sweepstakes” encouraged viewers to watch “Spin & Sail Week” on Wheel of Fortune and enter each night’s bonus puzzle solution at www.wheeloffortune.com.

The Downtown Commons features four rain gardens.
Rain gardens are also know as bioretention basins, that are Low Impact Development Best Management Practices for the collection, treatment, and infiltration of stormwater runoff within the site. Traditional storm drainage systems divert stormwater surface flow into channelized storm drains, which accelerate the introduction of contaminants into the watershed and focus the promote erosion. The rain gardens at the Downtown Commons accept a majority of the rainwater that lands on the site during a rain event, using the dynamic biology of a carefully selected plant community and uniquely designed soil profile to perform valuable ecosystem services that remove heavy metals, mitigate sediment loading, reduce erosion, and increase the rate of evapotranspiration. What does that mean? Cleaner water to drink, cleaner air to breath, and cooler temperatures in the heat of summer – naturally. Each rain garden is spanned by a generous ADA Accessible boardwalk made of FSC Certified Ipe, a rich hardwood from Brazil that is sustainably and transported, that give visitors the experience of floating over the lush plantings.

Efficient, well designed gas heater (flueless)
Decided to replace my old Rinnai (lasted me 25 years!) with a new model. The CosyGlow is a compact, efficient gas heater for even large rooms. Attractive design, many safety features, clearly a quality product. Good steady heat with 2 heat settings. Hoping this one will last as long as it's predecessor.
Questions & Answers
How do you stop the heater turning off at any time?
This has never happened to me! Better contact Rinnai.
Thanks for the question Fred. If the unit is switching off there is an unresolved issue, either a part has failed or one of the safety features has activated. Either issue will require a service call.
I had the same problem. Bought a new heateras it would have been cheaper than getting the old one fixed

Car Rental Services For Travelers
There are numerous USA car rental services available to travelers in America and hiring a vehicle within the USA is simple to arrange. CARNGO is a global car rental company; you can also get car rentals under 21 florida if you are traveling to the USA from a different country or if you are visiting the country for vacation. The distances are so extensive that an automobile that you hire is the better choice than using your own. Another reason could be that you require a bigger car for your holiday or visit, or the SUV or 4×4 may be better suited to the purpose than your standard Taurus.
The United States of America is an extremely large country and if you are looking to get the most out of your trip, then hiring cars is among the best methods to do it. It is possible to visit any city you wish, making stops whenever you have to. There is everything you could want in America including the most popular shows on Broadway as well as Las Vegas the tranquility of the Nevada and Arizona deserts, to the mountainous region in Colorado as well as the Rockies. There are numerous top championship golf courses across the USA that span beginning in Washington state through to Florida and lower and USA car rentals will relieve you from the rigors of bus and train timetables. There are many benefits from USA automobile rental.
Suggestions For Hiring An Automobile
Here are some suggestions for hiring an automobile within the USA and remaining in good standing with state troopers.
- Explore the many USA car rental agencies carefully, and then choose the basis of availability of the car you are looking for the price and customer service. You can avoid paying an airport charge by renting privately from a location outside of the airport. It is common to pay a fee when you rent a car at the airport. However, you usually will receive superior service from smaller companies. Whatever you decide to go with, make sure you reserve your car ahead of the date you plan to visit.
- Be sure to nominate every driver by filling out the forms. It will indeed cost more, however, if someone who was not named was involved in a traffic accident and your insurance on your car hire will be canceled.
- It is important to conduct an inspection that is thorough for damages. Examine for scratches, dents, and other marks to ensure that every item you spot is noted on the rental form. If not, you could be liable for being charged for any damage that is not your fault.
- If you can choose between the options of self-fueling or prepaying look up their fuel costs. It may be more affordable for you to feel it yourself.
- In contrast to the UK and a large portion of Europe, the majority of car rental firms in the USA do not include insurance as part of the standard car hire cost, and you must negotiate this in a separate transaction. Be aware of the procedures in the case that you are involved in an accident. You may need to file an official police report. There might be a time frame for reporting an accident to the insurance or hire firm, and you might have to use designated garages to repair the damage.
- This should be the first thing you do! If you are from outside the USA, be sure to be aware of the local driving rules. USA rental cars are permitted only if you are the age of 21 (or the age of 18 for New York. But, when you hire cars in the USA it is likely that several hire companies require a minimum age of 23 or charge you a fee if you are younger than 25. This applies to all named drivers. If you are married and you are 27, your partner may need to pay a surcharge for both of you to be listed as drivers.
- Find out if you can drop the vehicle off in a different location than the one you have picked it up. You may want to travel to Chicago towards L.A., following the famous Route 66, but certainly not make the return journey!
USA car rentals are extremely well-known, and there are numerous advantages when you rent a car in the USA particularly when you have a lengthy distance to cover. It’s not only visitors to the United States who rent vehicles, but a lot of USA people who live there go on camping holidays or other types of vacation when their cars are not big enough for the entire family along with the baggage and other equipment they need to carry.
Some prefer a vehicle like the one they own but bigger will suffice however, others would prefer the Winnebago. Whatever the reason for hiring the car, you will surely relish the experience if pay attention to the suggestions above and ensure that you are aware of the law and your rights when it comes to USA car rentals.

The Students’ Union election season is upon us. The nominations period has opened and campaigning is expected to begin with gusto on Wednesday morning following its closure.
There will be thousands of flyers passed out, hundreds of posters erected, the odd funny video and a gaggle of campaigners scattered across campus for the various candidates. Prepare to be canvassed.
Despite the campus turning into an electoral carnival every year, over the last number of elections our union has found it difficult to break beyond a 20 per cent voter turnout rate.
Apathy and disengagement seem to be the status quo. It is always the easier option to become disengaged from the democratic process. But that easy option has consequences. Disengagement leads to elections where candidates and their ideas aren’t as robustly tested as they should be which creates bad leaders and bad governance, creating an apathy cycle of further and further disengagement. The eventual end of this scenario is a bad union that creates a bad college experience and a poor student life.
One of the largest apathy creators is the idea that student activism and student engagement doesn’t matter. This is simply a myth and one that should have been killed long ago. The influence and power of students in Ireland has been seen throughout history in a number of areas such as in LGBT rights, reproductive rights and during the anti-apartheid movement, which was recently highlighted following the passing of Nelson Mandela at the end of last year.
Students’ Union leaders at a local and national level have helped transform the shape of third-level education through campaigning for lessening the burden on students and widening access to university for many citizens via the introduction of the free fees system and the grants system.
The high level of representation students have within universities and colleges translates into a relatively positive experience for the majority of students. This is the real success of student activism.
In the past few years DCU SU has turned a corner and has rejected the material and selfish culture that suffocated our society during the Celtic Tiger Era. We have changed our union constitution to start engaging with issues that affect students; we have started to hold referendum ballots to find out what students’ opinions are on issues; we have decided to rejoin the national student movement and year on year the quality of our candidates is improving.
This election presents an opportunity for students to be the ones that become involved and that actively engage with the candidates. Students need to meet the candidates, ask them questions, read their material, judge them and vote for the one they think is the most competent and would best serve the students of this union.
The students of today only have such a positive college experience because of the hard work and determination of student leaders over the generations that came before us. This is a debt and one that is repaid by students beginning to engage with their union and participate in the democratic process by voting.
Sean Cassidy is an activist within the DCU Students’ Union and DCU Societies.

Sometimes at dinner we reminisce about some of the amazing places we’ve visited around the world. Hawaii, Mexico, Costa Rica and other beach destinations are the obvious favorites. But recently Triton asked the our two teenage girls to list their most memorable foreign destination. When they did, it surprised and heartened us. Sophia and Ava agreed that our family trip to Cambodia sticks out in their minds as much as any place we’ve been.
When we asked why, they did us proud. Both girls agreed the trip had many interesting sights to discover, but it was the people – the other kids – that affected them deeply. “Their lives are so different from ours – so hard in comparison. Yet they smiled so much and were genuinely pleased to welcome us.”
It touched us. But it also underlined something important for us, the adult chaperones: our kids are wise beyond their years and understand more than they are often given credit for. They’re astute travelers who learn valuable lessons from their travel experiences that last a lifetime.
Family Trip to Cambodia
Originally, we had planned our family trip to Cambodia so the girls could see firsthand the fantastic Cambodian temple of Angkor Wat. Our family had become obsessed with the film “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider” and the girls wanted to channel their inner Angelina Jolie. They had visions of scrambling over the temple ruins, swinging on ropes and finding lost treasures. And yes, we did find treasures.
Cambodia’s Tumultuous History
But we had also talked frankly at home before the journey about the history of Cambodia. We reiterated for the girls how, even though the country had won its independence from France in the early 1950’s, it remained war-torn for decades. Then there was the abomination of the Khmer Rouge who killed over one-third of the country’s population. Cambodians endured political riots was recent as the early 21st century.
When we talked about our Cambodian memories the other night though, it was the people our girls remembered. In particular, the high spirits of the kids in Cambodia really made them think.
Shinta Mani Resort & Foundation
The resort we stayed in at Siem Reap was called Shinta Mani Resort, and is owned by a nonprofit (the Shinta Mani Foundation). The Foundation teaches local school kids how to read and write. But the girls also remembered the kids barely older than themselves that worked at he resort. You see, the Foundation trains the children in the hospitality trade, so they can become wage earners and financially support their families. The girls were really interested in this training concept, particularly because of the terrible poverty we saw just outside the manicured grounds of our resort.
Sophia and Ava totally got it as preteens. One even remarked that America could learn a lesson about educating and training young people. After all, we’ve got plenty of poverty here too. Hmmm – elect that girl to political office stat!
Villages in the Jungle
The next day we wanted to see more of the rural countryside, deep in the Cambodian jungles. On a steaming hot day, we pedaled through a guided 12-mile jungle bike tour on muddy paths. Along the way, we stopped in small villages and passed homes with no doors or glass windows – or sometimes even walls. Some houses had chickens walking freely inside.
The girls got emotional again, remembering a sweet small boy, wearing very little, running barefoot up the dirt path to greet us. He was all smiles – giggling and waving hello as we rode by. Looking back on that little boy, Sophia reflected on how happy he was – “and he had nothing”, she said. We had a great conversation afterwards about how having a lot of stuff doesn’t equate to happiness. Life lessons.
Gender Inequity at the Monastery
Ava was particularly bothered when we visited a buddhist monastery at the end of our bike ride. Amid all the beauty, peace and love at the temple, she noticed there were almost no girls. All the young monks were boys, some younger than our girls own ages.
She asked our guide where all the girl monks were, and he told us a sad story. In this area of Cambodia, families have no money for private school. Because the monasteries include education as part of their training process for monkhood, they send their boys here. Girls cannot be monks, so they cannot attend the monastery schools. Therefore, girls do not have access to what boys are given the opportunity to learn. Both of our girls were really upset that girls get discriminated against, because they aren’t given the same chances as boys.
A Comparison to Home
“We come back home,” said one of them, “and hear people complaining about how bad it is in America. Sure, it’s not perfect. But we’ve seen places they have it so much worse. Yet the people there are welcoming us in, while they go on about their lives with their family.”
On the long plane ride home, we had plenty of time to reflect on our family trip to Cambodia. It seems the most powerful part of the journey to Cambodia was not the monuments where the Hollywood movies were made. It was meeting the people, including the kids their age and younger in the remote jungle villages.
Triton and I smiled, knowing that we are a family that is “different” in the eyes of even people in our own community. We feel a responsibility to show our girls as much of this diverse world as we can. Our kid’s long-term memories of our travels make them better, more empathetic people. And we’re more resolved than ever to allow them to experience for themselves that people everywhere really are the same. The vast majority of human beings just want to live decent lives. They deserve the same kindness and respect we’d give a family member or neighbor at home.
Sophia and Ava get that this is the key to being conscious, caring travelers – Citizens of the World. We carry that baggage proudly.

24 11月 Degassing Mixer
Degassing Mixer with 3 Rotors is specially designed to provide online degassing for those launders with large molten aluminum flow, high gas content and many inclusions.
With three stirring rotors that can independently control the speed and gas flow, it can provide a strong degassing refining capacity for more molten aluminum.
The equipment is connected with the flow trough, and the three rotors of the equipment can be lifted as a whole, and can be swung at a certain angle to facilitate the replacement of the rotors.
At the same time, the filter plate prevents too much aluminum slag in the most downstream launder. The degassing tank corresponding to each rotor is equipped with an independent slag slag opening, which is convenient for slag slag separately. The good heat insulation design of the equipment can provide 24-hour online Uninterrupted degassing.
Degassing Mixer is equipped with a gas underpressure alarm function. When the pressure of the inert gas supply source drops to a limited pressure, it can automatically alarm and remind the operator to replace the gas source in time through the warning light to avoid the occurrence of unqualified aluminum liquid due to lack of gas.
Since the equipment has three rotors, when the equipment is used as an online degassing equipment, please prepare a spare air source in advance to facilitate timely replacement when the pressure is under pressure.
For the three rotors, the gas consumption is large. It is recommended to establish a gas supply center to provide high purity nitrogen.
The three rotors can be independently controlled and continuously degassed layer by layer, which can improve the on-line degassing and purification of the large flow of molten aluminum and improve the degassing efficiency of the molten aluminum.
When the set degassing time is completed, the rotor automatically stops rotating, the air supply is automatically closed, and the indicator light flashes to alert the operator, and the safety is high.
When used as an online deaeration, it can operate continuously and uninterrupted.
Using nitrogen or argon as the degassing medium, the advanced degassing principle greatly reduces the degassing time, improves the efficiency, reduces the refining cost, does not pollute the environment, and greatly improves the working environment.
The inert gas flow is controllable and can be optimally set, which can greatly reduce the waste caused by bubbles and inclusions, greatly increase the yield and improve the mechanical properties of the castings.
Provides a stable and repeatable degassing effect, which can realize efficient production for customers without affecting the production process.
The main shaft and motor of the equipment are equipped with air cooling devices, which can effectively reduce the working temperature of the main shaft and the motor and extend the service life.
The bottom of the equipment is equipped with a heat insulation layer with excellent heat preservation performance, which can prevent the deformation of the equipment due to excessively high temperature of the molten aluminum; an emergency shutdown button is provided, which is simple and safe to switch on and off, has a solid structure, simple maintenance, and low maintenance requirements.


text: Abstract: We have recently developed (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 87, 274 (1990)) a methodology for transforming common proteins into selective artificial receptors. This strategy utilizes the phenomenon of drastically lowered protein flexibility in anhydrous organic solvents (compared to water) in order to create (or enhance) protein-ligand interactions in non-aqueous media. By lyophilizing a protein from an aqueous solution in the presence of a ligand, followed by removal of the latter (via washing with anhydrous organic solvent), the resultant "imprinted" protein exhibits a much greater capacity to bind the print molecule in anhydrous media than the nonimprinted protein or either protein in water. We have succeeded in imprinting several unrelated proteins with a variety of organic compounds. The dependence of this effect on the structures the print molecule and the protein, solvent, and the conditions of imprinting will be discussed. The application of these novel receptors as unique bioadsorbents will also be addressed.

BantenDay.co.id – The Tiktok application is increasingly being sought and used as an alternative to entertainment in the form of short videos. This is evident from the number of users when viewed through the Playstore. Apparently not without reason, because apart from being entertaining, Tiktok can also be used as a way to earn online income just by using Tiktok invitation code.
How did it happen? It’s possible, what can’t be done with today’s super-advanced technology. Therefore, on this occasion, we will explain about the referral code or Tiktok invitation code, whether it’s understanding, how to get it and also the problems that often occur.
What is Tiktok Invitation Code?
An invitation code or referral code is a unique code that is used to invite other friends to join using the Tiktok application. With this code, you get income from every friend who joins.
For example, if you distribute an invitation code to several friends, it turns out that one of your friends is interested and creates a new Tiktok account with the code you distributed, then you will get around 60 thousand rupiah. It’s only for one friend who joins, what if 10, 20 etc.?
Regular Tiktok Invitation Code
For those of you who want to earn from the tiktok application. Please you can join using the tiktok application by downloading the tiktok application at the following link https://vt.tiktok.com/ZGJD7wqRe/. After that, follow the event on tiktok using the invitation code GBCW8M22EPYUB
Advantages of Creating Tiktok Account With Invitation Code
Actually, to create a Tiktok account, you can directly download and install the application on the Playstore. But you don’t get any advantage when compared to entering or using an invitation code.
In this case, let’s say that you are a user who doesn’t have a Tiktok account, and then you immediately create an account through the Playstore, so you will not benefit from this method. It’s different if you use the Tiktok referral code, then you immediately get 10 thousand rupiah that goes into the new account.
Terms of Getting Money with Invitation Code
If you already know the meaning of the invitation code and the benefits you get, it’s time you also have to know what are the conditions that must be met. Since there are two parties involved, namely you and a friend who will be invited, then the requirements are more or less as follows!
- Every user who has created a Tiktok account is entitled and sure to get one invitation code.
- New users who register with the referral code get a balance of 10 thousand rupiah which is directly entered into the account.
- For existing users who successfully invite new users, they will get an award of 60 thousand rupiah which is also entered directly into their account.
- New users only get one chance to enter the invitation code, this means that once you register an account with a friend’s invitation code, you cannot enter another invitation code.
- The invitation code that is in each account can be used many times as long as it is with a different new account. This is what many online fighters use to get as many new members as possible.
- Tiktok users must be at least 18 years old, meaning that children are not allowed to use this app.
How to View TikTok Invitation Code
Already understand what is meant by a Tiktok referral code but still don’t know where it is? It’s just a lie because you can’t invite friends to join. Relax, you can follow these steps to find out!
- Open the already installed Tiktok application.
- Select “I” with the person icon at the bottom right.
- Click the RP button at the top left.
- Continue with the button tab “law“.
- Look at the random numbers and letters in the column, that’s the intended invitation code. Copy the code or you can directly click “law” to get a balance of 60,000 rupiah from every new friend who joins.
How to Enter the Latest Tiktok Referral Code
If the method above is that you as an invitee are entitled to rewards of 60 thousand rupiah, this time you are the one who was invited and are entitled to get 10 thousand rupiah when entering the invitation code.
The method is not much different, it’s just that it is located in the column provided. To be more clear, follow these few easy steps!
- Open the Tiktok app.
- RP icon tab as above.
- On the new page, there is an invitation code column listed, enter the code GBCW8M22EPYUB
- After making sure that the code is filled in correctly, tab the button “confirmation“.
Try to check whether your balance has increased by 10 thousand or not, if not, please refresh your Tiktok account and try to check again.
Why Can’t Enter TikTok Invite Code?
Some common problems occur with Tiktok invitation codes, one of which is not being able to enter the code. What is the cause of not being able to enter the Tiktok invitation code and how to solve it?
1. Have You Installed TikTok Before
The first reason could be because the device you are using has already created a Tiktok account before. This problem can be solved if the cellphone used is factory reset. Another solution, you can use an application that can double your Tiktok account.
2. Have You Entered the Tiktok Invitation Code?
Since a new user is only entitled to enter one invitation code, perhaps the second reason is that you have entered the code before. The solution is also the same as the first one, you have to do a hard reset or use a multiplier application.
Suggestions and Closing
Those are some things related to Tiktok invitation code, a little advice from us, no need to do a hard reset which can erase all device data. If you really want to earn a lot of money, use how to get Tiktok coins which we have discussed before.

Brothers arrested in Irish police officer shooting investigation
It's a crime that made international headlines.
A police officer from Ireland was shot while visiting New Orleans. A week later two brothers, Melvin and Keith Galle, are in custody for the crime.
Police say 30-year-old Brian Hanrahan was in the Seventh Ward last week when he met one of the suspects.
"Mevlin Galle lured the victim under the pretense they were going to a bar," said NOPD Cmdr. Chris Goodly.
Police say Hanrahan withdrew $200 from a nearby ATM. He was accompanied by Melvin Galle in the 2200 block of New Orleans Street where the incident happened.
We asked Melvin Galle about the incident. His reply:
"I don’t know anything. I don't even know that guy," he said.
The NOPD said while Hanrahan was with Melvin Galle, another man approached up and demanded Hanrahan's money. investigators believe the second suspect was Keith Galle.
According to the NOPD investigation, Keith Galle opened fire and the brothers fled the scene together. Keith Galle denies any involvement in this case.
Both men have been booked into Orleans Parish Prison on charges of armed robbery and attempted second-degree murder. So far, no bond has been set in this case.

We drove to Premier Pups from Chicago IL. The staff at premier made us feel comfortable with Jagger and helped us help him adjust to his new home and family. Jagger basically potty trained himself so that was also amazing. Me and my family love Our Jagger and will definitely be coming back to Premier Pups for our next puppy!!!
We could not be happier with the newest member of our family. We agonized over the decision to get a dog for several years. Premier Pups has been incredibly professional, thorough and a sincere pleasure to deal with. Dalton is a great addition to our family and we could not be happier or more appreciative of Premier Pups. Cannot recommend them highly enough.
What a beautiful puppy!! Couldn’t be happier with premier pups. As soon as we bought dog the process was quick and easy. Flight was perfect. Gave great instructions that were easy to follow. Best of all we have a healthy puppy who is so cute!! Don’t hesitate to use premier to get your puppy.
Marley became apart of our family last Fall and he has brought us (especially me) so much joy! He is a playful puppy but super smart!!! He loves to go for long walks...we walk 2 miles and he hangs in there like a trooper! I’m considering getting Marley a fury companion?? if so we will definitely get him/her from Premier Pups. Many thanks for such an awesome doggie!
I purchased our puppy through premier pups and I was very satisfied with my purchased. My puppy was shipped to me the following day and they helped me through the process of getting her adjusted to her new home. Healthy puppy! We are very much in love with her. She is now three months and loves her new home and family
I am so thankful that I found Premier Pups (by accident)! I was a little skeptical purchasing a puppy online, but after days of looking at the pups on the website and reading the reviews, as well as looking at a few videos on YouTube from people who purchased, and the icing on the cake was having a Face Time video with Marley. I was in love! I thought about driving to Ohio to pick him up, but I wasn't excited about a 12hr round trip drive. So after reading the reviews from people who had their pup flown to them, I thought I would do the same. It was easy pezy...the staff at Premier Pups provided the flight information and tracked Marley's flight. He arrived and he was perfectly fine. He's had his first vet check and they said he's healthy. He's the smartest dog in the world...he's been going to the bathroom outside from day 1! He started puppy training 3 weeks ago and is catching on very fast. Everyone who meets him falls in love. In closing this is a funny...I purchased a bottle of shampoo, and after getting home, I realized that the my Marley looks like the dog on the bottle...I said, "Marley you can be a model!" LOL! Thanks Premier Pups for blessing our family with such a wonderful fur baby!!
Buzz is now named Cooper . I am so in love with this little guy. He is happy, healthy and a wonderful addition to my home. At first Cooper was having a rough time transitioning into my home and Priemier Pups went above and beyond helping with the transition. They have called me every day checking on him.
We have had our pup ‘Buddy’ for about a week and he is wonderful. The puppy selection and pick up experience from Premier Pups was great... organized, professional, clean and informative. I was so impressed, that I have purchased and will be picking up another pup for our family soon. - Thanks Premier Pups!
I have to say, when we first started looking for a puppy for our family I didn't know how extensive and exhausting it would be. We found some puppies but always felt unsettled with either the breeder or company. I came across Premier Pups in my search, but initially bypassed due to the the distance. However, after seeing an amazing review on YouTube and then looking at all of the other reviews online, I started to get 'that feeling' of excitement. I then looked for a dog on their site and came upon 'Rita' the maltipoo. She was so unique looking for her mix, and I just knew she was the one. Even though it was above our price point, Premier Pups made this decision easy! The were prompt in answering questions, helped us with selection and gave us the assurance that we were looking for. Even when we decided to have her shipped, she was flown in, in style. From the time of her preparation and departure to when she arrived with all of her supplies and info, I can not tell you how 5 star the experience felt.. We are beyond pleased and know she was EXACTLY for us... We have recommended everyone to Premier Pups! Just amazing!
We received our adorable most loving little guy Ace (Formerly known as Peyton) on 12/2/2018 it's only been a week and I cannot tell you how loved he is and how much JOY he has brought into our home. We are beyond excited to share our Christmas this year with the new addition to our family. The process was amazing and I just want to thank PremierPups. Crystal <3

A sms loan is basically like any other loan. The loan has clear terms that show how much the loan costs and how long you have to pay back on the loan, yet sms do not have the best reputation. This is due to the high effective interest rate.
What many people forget, however, is that if you repay the loan on time, it will not cost you much at all. If you take a completely free sms loan in addition, you only pay back the amount you borrowed. In other words, sms don’t have to put you in the stick at all.
Therefore, it is easier to get a sms loan
One thing that distinguishes a sms loan from other loans is that it is a little easier to get (which it is also often seen as negative). The requirements for income are lower because the loan is small and sometimes you can take a sms loan despite having payment notes. Several hundred thousand Swedes have payment notes today, but many of these Swedes have arranged their finances and no longer have any problems repaying a smaller loan. This is why sms lenders can approve a loan despite payment remarks, which Smslånen.se thinks makes sense.
So why doesn’t everyone pay back on their sms loans? Unfortunately, so there are people who pull payment notes because they simply do not want to repay and there are people who borrow more than they can. Maybe you have borrowed for some unplanned purchase, which can be the case when the loan has to be repaid.
5 tips for taking sms loans
- Sit down and calculate before taking a sms loan. And don’t do any joy calculations! Look at how much you usually get rid of in a month and how much you usually get over. If you see that margins are getting too small, think about if there is something you can pull in for the near future, but always be realistic.
- Adjust the size of the sms loan according to the calculation, so you should not take a larger loan than the calculation allows. If the loan then becomes too small for your purpose, wait to borrow and save some money first.
- Look for a free sms loan. Yes, there are many free sms that have no interest or fees at all, but you need to be a new customer to get a free sms. Borrowing no more than what you can repay for then the bill can be very expensive.
- If you are just almost certain that you will be able to repay your loan on time and still take out a loan, then you should take out a loan that offers several extensions. But keep in mind that the loan can be very expensive if you extend it forever. Therefore, also avoid taking a sms loan with an extension if you are not sure that you can get enough money within the time you have planned.
- Once you have taken out a sms loan, you should put away money immediately after you receive your salary. For example, if you borrow USD 6,000 for 3 months, you should spend more than USD 2,000 a month, and this money you absolutely must not touch. If you think it will be too hard to do, you should borrow a smaller sum or not at all.
