Wishing you blessings on this Thanksgiving Day!

Every afternoon, I find myself outside searching for inspiration.
And lately, I have found it at our woodpile.
The leaves nearby are spectacular!
The wood has such beautiful textures.
This time of year, I start noticing the evergreen trees a little more.
What's inspiring you lately??
Lately, I have been decorating the house for fall.
I love changing out colors and textures.
All those reds, oranges, and ochres are so lovely to see!
Last year, I thrifted a few Amber Hobnail glass pieces and
decided to use them this fall season.
This piece is beautiful all alone...
But even better with hydrangeas from our yard.
I love bringing the outdoors in!
Below, I used an Amber Hobnail serving tray with a few milk glass pieces.
I think it looks quite festive!
How are you decorating for fall?
Thursday, November 21, 2013
The leaves have been incredibly beautiful this year.
I especially love the hydrangea leaves in our backyard.
Those vibrant reds, oranges, and yellows are just amazing!
I was out thrifting the other day and found this green jar for $3.
It's about 12 inches tall, and I knew exactly what I wanted to put in it:)
Those. Red. Leaves.
I think it's super pretty on our back porch:)
We are loving fall around here!
Hope you are, too!

Netflix has unveiled the first look at Enola Holmes 2 – and has officially given the film a Fall release date.
Millie Bobby Brown returns as teen detective Enola Holmes who, after solving her first case, decides to follow in the footsteps of her famous brother, Sherlock (Henry Cavill) and open her own agency. When a penniless girl asks Enola to find her missing sister, she accepts – but the case throws her into a puzzling, dangerous new world. From the highest echelons of society to 221B Baker Street itself, Enola begins to unravel a deadly conspiracy and must call on her friends – and Sherlock himself – to solve the case.
Enola Holmes 2, based on The Enola Holmes Mysteries by YA author Nancy Springer, is helmed by returning director Harry Bradbeer and a screenplay by returning writer Jack Thorne. David Thewlis, Louis Partridge, Susan Wokoma, Adeel Akhtar, Sharon Duncan-Brewster, and Helena Bonham Carter also star.
The first installment, with Brown producing in addition to starring, was originally planned for a theatrical release, with Warner Bros. in charge of distribution, but was ultimately picked up by Netflix due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Enola Holmes was met with overwhelmingly positive reviews and became one of Netflix's most-watched films, with over 78 million households tuning in during its first month on the streaming app.
Enola Holmes 2 is set to hit Netflix on November 4, 2022.

Lancope’s ‘University of NetFlow’ Seminar to Hit Salt Lake City, Cincinnati, San Jose and Dallas
Attendees will learn how to leverage NetFlow for unprecedented network visibility and threat context
ATLANTA, October 24, 2012 – Lancope, Inc., a leader in flow-based security and network performance monitoring, will deliver its popular ‘University of NetFlow’ seminar in Salt Lake City, Cincinnati, San Jose and Dallas in November. The complimentary seminar teaches attendees how to maximize the use of NetFlow, IPFIX and other flow data within the enterprise network, achieving unprecedented visibility and threat context for fending off today’s advanced attacks. To learn more about the seminars, or to register, go to http://www.lancope.com/news-events/university-of-netflow/.
With newly advanced attacks in the news on a weekly basis, organizations can no longer afford to employ “set it and forget it” strategies for network security. Conventional tools that rely on signature updates to detect attacks, or that only defend the perimeter of the network, still have their place when it comes to a holistic security strategy, but nowadays they are no longer enough. Organizations of all sizes and across all industries must now learn how to play a more active role in defending their networks, investing in tools that provide visibility into what is going on inside the perimeter along with the intelligence needed to quickly uncover anomalies that could signify a threat.
By delivering a full audit trail of all communications taking place across a network, NetFlow data can provide the missing piece of today’s security puzzle when leveraged to its full potential. Sophisticated, flow-based monitoring tools like Lancope’s StealthWatch® System enable organizations to create an always-on sensor grid for detecting evolving attacks through behavioral analysis. Advanced features including virtual, mobile, application and identity awareness create even deeper levels of visibility and provide the additional context necessary to quickly identify root cause and mitigate risks to network security or performance.
‘University of NetFlow’ seminar attendees will learn strategies for protecting their networks from zero-day, insider and Advanced Persistent Threat (APT) attacks. They will also learn how to ensure continued security and reliability for their infrastructure as they embrace new network trends including virtualization, cloud computing, BYOD and IPv6.
Dates for the November seminars include:
- November 1, 2012 – Salt Lake City, UT
- November 8, 2012 – Cincinnati, OH
- November 15, 2012 – San Jose, CA
- November 29, 2012 – Dallas, TX

Las Vegas, Nevada 2021-12-01 22:55:54 –
Las Vegas (KTNV) — The battle for abortion is once again gaining national attention. The Supreme Court is hearing a proceeding centered on Mississippi law prohibiting abortion after 15 weeks of gestation.
If a judge votes to overturn the Roe v. Wade case, abortion can quickly become illegal or severely restricted in at least 22 states. Nevada isn’t one of them because the state constitution protects the right to abortion, but pro-choice proponents say the ruling could make it more difficult to get an abortion in Silver. I’m afraid.
Lindsey Harmon is Executive Director of Nevada’s Planned Custody Voting. Since Texas outlawed abortion six weeks later, Harmon says nearby “safe shelter states,” including Nevada, have seen an increase in women leaving Texas in search of abortion services.
“The number of patients coming from Texas alone has increased twelve times, so we expect that number to continue to grow if other bans are taken,” Harmon said. ..
Harmon is closely watching the Supreme Court proceedings Dobbs V. Jackson Women’s Health.. If the judge votes to overturn the Roe v. Wade case, she expects an exponential increase in the number of out-of-state abortions seekers. If that happens, she fears that it will be difficult to care for in Nevada and that more restricted state women are less likely to seek abortion services.
“We know that these restrictions in other states affect people who already have systematic barriers to access to care. Therefore, color communities, LGBTQ people, and low-income people. People, young people, people with geographical restrictions, “Harmon said. “Currently, the planned parent-child relationship is open. The health center is ready to serve these patients, but this is a book trigger that darkens in the event of a Roe v. Wade incident. Or it’s a very serious problem for many states that have already banned imitation. The Wade case has been overturned, “Harmon added.
Melissa Clement, Executive Director of Right to Life, Nevada, said: , About today’s Supreme Court hearing.
Clement does not deny that overturning the Roe v. Wade case will increase abortion outside the state. She believes that each state should have the right to decide whether to allow an abortion.
“We are returning power to its original place. People need to decide, and if the Nevada people have the opportunity to decide whether to protect a foetation that can feel pain, the majority of Nevada will protect it. I think it should be done. I will tell you with me that you should protect your innocent life. “
In this case, the Supreme Court is unlikely to rule until spring.

A report from Economic Daily News and rumor is out there that Apple will be giving the MacBook Air lineup its first major refresh next year at WWDC 2016, since its introduction eight years ago. Beside being thinner, Apple will be offering the refreshed MacBook air in 13-inch and new 15-inch variants.
The new MacBook Air (s ) will be upgraded to new components and a new slimmer design. Apple is currently is in the process of completely redesigning every part of the MacBook Air, including its chassis, battery modules, cooling modules and more with its suppliers. Bad news is that the new redesigned MacBook Air will come with a higher price tag than the current models due to its improved design and performance, can’t will to see the latest refresh of MacBook Air’s after its launch.
Apple currently offers the MacBook Air in 11-inch and 13-inch variants. Surprisingly, the report does not talk about the 11-inch MacBook Air, which hints at the possibility of the 12-inch MacBook superseding it.
With the introduction of the 12-inch MacBook earlier this year and the lack of any meaningful updates to the MacBook Air lineup, it was assumed that Apple would eventually retire the Air lineup. However, if this latest report turns out to be correct, Apple plans on keeping its Air lineup around with updates that will keep it relevant with times.
The report claims that Apple will launch the new MacBook Air in the July-September quarter next year, which means that the laptop will likely be unveiled at WWDC 2016 next year.

SANTIAGO – Demonstrations have been planned in Chile, a staunchly Catholic country, ahead of Pope Francis’ visit to the Latin American nation in order to push the Holy See to act against sexual abuse of children in Church.
Nearly 70 Chilean priests, deacons, religious bothers and a nun have been accused of sexually abusing children in Chile since 2000, US-based BishopAccountability.org said Thursday ahead of a visit to the country next week by the Pope.
The list includes Chilean priest Fernando Karadima, accused of abusing children in 2010 and convicted by the Vatican, but not Chile.
A 2011 Vatican investigation found Karadima guilty of abusing teenage boys over many years and ordered him to retire to a “life of prayer and penitence.”
Parishioners in Osorno, a small city 800 kilometers (497 miles) south of the Chilean capital, say they will plan to protest every day of the Pope’s Jan. 15 – 18 stay in Chile over 2015 appointment of a Roman Catholic bishop accused of protecting Father Karadima.
Pope Francis, who hails from neighboring Argentina and once briefly lived in Chile, has defended Osorno Bishop Juan Barros and says allegations that he covered up abuses by the cleric were unfounded, the Reuters reported.
The bishop also denies allegations of abuse and says he was unaware of any wrongdoing.
Both were members of a priestly society in Santiago and Karadima served as Barros’ mentor during the bishop’s youth.
Foreign-born clergy members on the monitoring group’s list included Irishman Jeremiah Healy, American Jesuit H. Cornell Bradley, and Filipino Reverend Richard Joey Aguinaldo.
Protests will kick off during the Pope’s public appearances in Santiago de Chile next week, before his trip will take him to neighboring Peru.
“This is an otherwise remarkable pope who has obviously done a tremendous amount of good in the Catholic Church. But when it comes to the issue of child sexual abuse, he is as recalcitrant as any old-school bishop,” said Anne Barrett Doyle, co-director of Boston-based research group.
The group said it hoped the timing would push the pontiff to take action needed to stem the tide of abuse.
Chile has about 2,300 priests.

#9683 This unique video and book combination addresses an important question for families and single parents — How important are fathers in the lives of children? For too long, we’ve thought of fathers as little more than sources of authority and economic stability in the lives of their children. Yet cutting-edge studies drawing unexpected links between fathers and children are forcing us to reconsider our assumptions and ask new questions:
- What changes occur in men when they are expecting?
- Do fathers affect their children’s language development?
- What are the risks and rewards of being an older-than-average father at the time the child is born?
- What happens to a fathers hormone levels at every stage of his child’s development, and can a child influence the fathers health?
- Just how much do fathers matter?
In the video Fathers Matter (#8637), urban dads – married, single, and divorced – reflect on what it means to be a father, their influence on the next generation, and new roles, challenges, and opportunities for fathers in a changing society. Viewers meet fathers such as:
- Alton, a divorced African American father of two, who shares his insights on putting the children first, making tough choices and sacrifices, and hanging in there when the going gets tough.
- Todd, a divorced white father of two boys, who speaks about the multifaceted role of being a father.
- Simon, an immigrant from the Dominican Republic who is the married father of two boys. He comments on how he tries to do better than his own father and what to pass on to his sons.
- Don, a married African American father of five, emphasizes the importance of paying attention to his children’s school work and their social development.
- Felder, a single African American father of one son, who talks about how he overcame his addictions, attended father support groups, and gained custody of his son.
In the book Do Fathers Matter? What Science Is Telling Us About the Parent We’ve Overlooked(#9103), the award-winning journalist and father of five Paul Raeburn overturns the many myths and stereotypes of fatherhood as he examines the latest scientific findings on the parent we’ve often overlooked. Drawing on research from neuroscientists, animal behaviorists, geneticists, and developmental psychologists, among others, Raeburn takes us through the various stages of fatherhood, revealing the profound physiological connections between children and fathers, from conception through adolescence and into adulthood – and the importance of the relationship between mothers and fathers. In the process, he challenges the legacy of Freud and mainstream views of parental attachment, and also explains how we can become better parents ourselves. Ultimately, he shows how the role of the father is distinctly different from that of the mother, and that embracing fathers significance in the lives of young people is something we can all benefit from. An engrossing, eye-opening, and deeply personal book that makes a case for a new perspective on the importance of fathers in our lives regardless our family structure. 288 pages. 2015. Can purchase separately for $19.99. SPECIALS: 10 copies for $199.95; 100 copies for $1,839.00.
Combined price — $99.95. SPECIALS: 5 copies of combination for $469.95; 10 copies of combination for $929.00.

Installation view, Tschabalala Self, Cotton Mouth, Eva Presenhuber, New York, 2020
Eva Presenhuber is delighted to present Cotton Mouth, an exhibition of new works by the American artist Tschabalala Self. Cotton Mouth is Self’s debut solo exhibition with Eva Presenhuber and features paintings, drawings, sculptures, and an audio piece.
In process and presentation, Tschabalala Self’s work explores the agency involved in myth creation and the psychological and emotional effects of projected fantasy. Self has sustained a practice wholly concerned with Black life and embodiment, with an intended audience from within that same community. In a flurry of stitches, Self assembles fully formed characters who, individually and situationally, hold power over their self-presentation and external perception. A power frequently denied to Black American people in their daily lives.
Each of the paintings in Cotton Mouth was painstakingly constructed by the artist. Formally, they could be read as multimedia collages, considering the marriage of paint and thread, though they lack that central ingredient in collage work—adhesive. The method of construction consistent throughout Self’s practice—stitching—carries an autobiographical and emotional significance. Self’s primary muse aside from herself—her mother—memorably used her hands to clothe and create for Self and her family. The labor in each stitch holds memory, affection, and protection.
Personal sentiment unfolds into something larger with the consideration of material and formal content in the work. “Cotton Mouth” indicates a cultural and historical significance specifically referential to elements within the Black American lexicon. “Cotton has a supercharged history for Black Americans specifically,” says Self. “[It speaks to] Black Americans’ labor and sacrifice—and tangentially embodies the Black American experience of American chattel slavery.” As a material, cotton has a ubiquitous presence in everyday life, proving essential to almost every person on earth, but is infrequently acknowledged as the fruit of exclusively Black slave labor, accounting for over half of all American exports during the first half of the 19th century.
The body of work Self presents in Cotton Mouth is intended to speak to the unique phenomenon of Black American life through references to contemporary culture and Black America’s past. Self purports, blackness, like all identities, is based on a personal mythology—mythology being that which is half fact and half fiction. In the contemporary sphere, Black pop culture can be understood as the primary embodiment of “modern-day folklore” to use the artist’s own words. Within the title of the show, we also find reference to this practice of imparting knowledge, central to the African diasporic tradition. “I was thinking of the importance of oral history and diaspora as a way to carry lessons, information, or historical events to the next generation,” explains Self.
Most of the work in the show is situated in simulated spaces mimicking the home. “Domestic space is one of indoctrination and is the primary environment in which one receives information,” says Self. In the diptych Spat, a couple is engaged in a tenuous conversation, with the female figure on the left cross-legged and facing her partner. The male is on the “lashing end” of the argument, his vulnerable state made apparent by his visible rib cage. In Sprewell, Self pays tribute to the immediacy of honest emotion and intimate romance. The work references NBA star Latrell Sprewell in a #blacklove vignette—a Sprewell jersey worn by the male protagonist in the piece hearkens to the controversial choking of his coach in a pointed demand for agency and poignant expression of fury and resilience.
This bodily rage is respected, retaining its humanity and complexity throughout Self’s entire body of work. Beasts play a constant and important role in Western mythology and “oftentimes that symbolism is conflated with blackness,” suggests Self. The parallel agendas of dehumanization and racism are examined and rebuked through the nuanced animalistic references that appear in the show.
Self’s narratives are non-linear, proposing a variety of conclusions and introductions. Her paintings thrust words into spaces where speech has been denied. “People say they have cotton mouth when they smoke too much and their mouth ceases to function,” says Self. The choice of title is a burdened one, as a mouth that can no longer function serves as a metaphor for the systemic and continued silencing of Black America. Cotton Mouth is a continuation of the lore, which has kept Black people alive, in communion with their history, and alert to the possibilities of their future.
“The work exists within a vacuum of blackness,” states Self, who favors Black subjects, pulls inspiration from within her personal experience and the Black community she navigates daily (whether in New Haven or Harlem), and intends the work to be consumed and engaged with by Black people. Self’s figures have been referred to before as “exaggerated,” a term that reveals the white-centric perspective that previous critics have exhibited. In reality, her subjects are not fictive, nor do they have enlarged or highlighted features but, rather, are rooted in reality and frequently take cues from the body of the artist herself. Self’s psychic energy is poured into the work, through her hand stitching (usually undertaken with the in-process work laid flat on the floor) and through the materials. For Sprewell, Self repurposed favorite jeans she could no longer fit, utilizing her body and its changes to create work packed with meaning both literally and figuratively. The other pieces within this show exhibit that same bodily integration in a sensitive and robust way.

How To Make a Triple Bud Vase
Every once in a while I find myself sitting at my work table in a funk... you know what I mean. You don't really want, or don't have time, to get involved in a project... but you're not quite ready to call it quits for the day either.
Well, I found myself in that situation the other day, so I took some scraps off the table and started to play with them. Immediately, I found myself making a cute little triple bud vase that only took about 15 minutes, but it was the perfect way to end that funk!
Grab your coffee and follow me to the studio and we'll make one together!
What you will need:
- 1-2lbs of clay
- needle tool
- various size dowel rods
- scoring tool
1. The first step is to roll 3 coils of clay in different lengths and roughly 1" thick. Once you roll them, trim the ends nice and neat.
5. On the last roll, you can roll it across a texture mat, beans/seeds, string, whatever you want for some texture.
Set all three pieces on a piece of clay and cut out a base
Have fun with this project... it's supposed to be a little off center, crooked, and fun to look at!


text: China’s geopolitical ambitions give rise to risks that government agencies and the businesses they regulate need to address. In particular, Military-Civil Fusion (MCF), a whole-of-government legal and administrative machinery created by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), aims to give China’s military, as well as China’s state-championed companies, the technologies essential to strategic competitiveness in the decades ahead. In service of China’s effort to acquire technology, MCF breaks down barriers of professional responsibility and confidentiality that organizations and individuals in the West take for granted. Through both executive and legislative action, the United States has begun to address MCF. To continue benefitting from opportunities that China presents, those who do business in or with China therefore need both to heighten their situational awareness when they transact with Chinese partners and to increase their familiarity with the responses that United States regulators now are developing.

Spain has recently updated its urban lease law to prohibit certain clauses found in rental contracts. While these types of provisions are now prohibited, many lease contracts still contain them. For such contracts, these provisions will be null. It is important to know them when you see them.
Duration of the Lease
In the wake of COVID-19, many lessors have tried to convert vacation rentals into more permanent residencies with vacation rental time periods. These time limitations are generally null and void. Renters for contracts of less than five years have the opportunity to extend their lease regardless of constraints the lessor places in the contract. Furthermore, leases with no specified timeframe default to a year-long lease with a possibility to extend for up to three years.
Some lessors have tried to insert clauses that establish a minimum amount of time for the tenant to stay in a property without incurring a penalty. Spanish law however, allows a tenant to cancel a lease after 6 months of living in the property. In the event that a tenant tries to cancel a lease before this 6-month period, the penalty can be no more that 1 month’s rent for every year of the contract that will not be fulfilled.
Any landlord that wishes to increase rent over the course of a lease, must say so in the contract. What’s more, the increase must be tied to the Consumer Price Index (CPI). Any provision that calls for an increase beyond this amount is null and void.
Landlords may not request a deposit that is greater than 1 month’s rent except in certain circumstances. An increase may be requested when the contract is extended and even then, the tenant may request a reduction to one month’s rent. Other guarantees are less certain. Generally, no landlord can request more than the equivalent of two months’ rent unless the lease is for more than 5 years.
As stated before, many of these provisions can still be found in existing rental contracts. Because these clauses may still be used by landlords against tenants, it is ever more important for tenants to know their rights and be on the lookout for these unlawful provisions.

Wigg, Ceasar, McGilvrey named MASCAC Players of the Week
PLYMOUTH, N.H. – The Plymouth State University men's ice hockey team swept the top weekly conference honors from the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) on Monday following a pair of Panther victories last week.
Sophomores Andrew Wigg (Lantz, N.S.) and Gordon Ceasar (Oak Park, Calif.) were selected MASCAC Men's Ice Hockey Player and Goalie of the Week, and freshman Ian McGilvrey (Omaha, Neb.) was tabbed as MASCAC Men's Ice Hockey Rookie of the Week. They were key players as PSU earned conference road wins at Framingham State University on Thursday and Westfield State University on Saturday.
A 6'0", 180-pound forward, Wigg recorded two goals and three assists for five points in the two Panther wins. He picked up one assist in the 3-0 victory Thursday at Framingham and tallied two goals and two assists in a 6-2 win Saturday at Westfield. A 5'7", 160-pound forward, McGilvrey recorded two goals and two assists in the two games; he scored one goal in the win at Framingham and tallied a goal and two assists in the triumph at Westfield.
A 6'1", 180-pound goalie, Ceasar did the job at the other end of the ice, posting a 1.00 goals against average and a .964 save percentage. He made 34 saves in a 3-0 shutout over Framingham for his second whitewash of the season, and he stopped 20 shots in the win over Westfield.
All three of PSU's weekly standouts are among the MASCAC season leaders. McGilvrey is tied for second in the conference with 21 points and ranks fourth with 13 assists, while Wigg is tied for 13th with 10 assists and 17 points. McGilvrey also leads all freshmen scorers. Ceasar tops the MASCAC in goals against average (1.76) and save percentage (.944) and ranks second in winning percentage (.625).
PSU has won four of its last five games to improve to 9-10 overall and 7-5 in conference games. The Panthers are tied for second with Westfield State (7-5), close behind league-leading Salem State University (7-4-1). PSU plays a pair of MASCAC home games this week vs. Salem State on Thursday and Fitchburg State on Saturday.

Capillary surfaces are gas/liquid interfaces whose shape is primarily determined by surface tension. Change of shape can drive an underlying flow. Alternatively, flow can induce shape change. Capillary surface dynamics are important to a broad range of forming and coating operations, including immersion lithography in semiconductor manufacturing, microfluidic drop manipulation in lab-on-chip platforms and low-gravity two-phase flow configurations.

Planar flow melt spinning (PFMS), known alternatively as 'planar flow spin casting' or 'single roll spin casting', is a process to rapidly solidify molten metal in a single step. Liquid metal is forced through a nozzle onto a rotating substrate wheel where sufficient heat is removed to solidify the material into a thin ribbon (100 micrometer) at high speed (10 meter per second), ribbon which is subsequently spun off the wheel to be collected. PFMS has diverse application, for example, to the fabrication of amorphous magnetic ribbon or of nano-crystalline structural steel foil. Our goal is to put this and related processes on a firm scientific foundation to enable innovation in product material properties and advanced manufacturing technique.

We call on the Federal Government to make Rapid Antigen Tests free and accessible for all Australians
Dear Prime Minister,
We write to you urging the Federal Government to provide free Rapid Antigen Tests to all Australians and ensure the supply of these vital health tools is fixed during these difficult days of the pandemic.
Rapid Antigen Tests are vital to ensure people can safely get on with their lives – whether that be to attend work, spend time with family or visit vulnerable settings.
But there is a nationwide crisis because Rapid Tests are impossible to find and if you can find them, they are too costly.
Unlike countries like the UK, which provide rapid tests for free to anyone who needs them, your Government has only offered to make them free for a select select number of Australians.
For the vast majority of families who don’t qualify for this, rapid tests simply are impossible to find and expensive.
Making rapid tests free and widely available for all would mean that we could go about our lives with greater safety and certainty, and it would lessen the burden on our healthcare system and our costlier PCR testing system.
Australians have held up their end of the bargain throughout this pandemic, from staying home to getting vaccinated, and now trying to get tested, but are paying the consequences of your failure to plan and your short sighted policy decisions.
Australians need you to do better.
For goodness sake, this is a pandemic and you are choosing to scrimp on the very tools that can help diagnose and slow the spread of this awful virus.
We call on you to make Rapid Antigen Tests free and accessible with immediate urgency.
Josh Burns and concerned residents of Macnamara

FP Oner - 5
Lovely chilled out house music with a jazzy feel from Fred Peterkin
In June this year Fred Peterkin, the DJ and producer better known as Fred P (and Black Jazz Consortium), released a new album of deep, jazzy house, consistent with his previous body of work, entitled 5. It's an album I've continued returning to since it's release, so I thought it pertinent to share that with you. Here's a one of the best cuts from the album, The Otherness Dub.
Under this new moniker FP Oner, it's the first in an expected trio of albums out on Mule Musiq.

Potatoes have long been firmly entrenched in the daily diet of every person. In a word, this product, in terms of its popularity and frequency of use, can only be compared with bread.
- Short story
- Description of the variety
- Variety characteristics
- Disease resistance
Using potatoes in our daily diet, we rarely think about its variety. And it’s in vain. After all, different varieties are differently suitable for different dishes, and by choosing the wrong potato variety for some culinary delight, you risk losing a certain amount of taste. For example, varieties that are great for roasting may not perform well when boiling or mashed potatoes, and vice versa.
If you often cook potato salads, you like fried potatoes, and with a characteristic golden crust that can awaken the appetite of any person and at any time - even if there is a convinced adherent of some kind of diet that forbids him to eat after six in the evening - then The Veneta potato variety will be the perfect find for you.
This vintage potato variety was obtained thanks to the efforts of German breeders in the middle of the twentieth century. However, since then, he managed to quickly spread throughout the globe and get the laurels of one of the most popular and sought-after varieties of potatoes.
On the territory of the Russian Federation, they began to grow it relatively recently - at the beginning of the twenty-first century, but even here the Veneta variety has already managed to take root and acquire a decent number of gourmet admirers, who prefer this particular variety to all others.
Description of the variety
The tubers of this variety have a characteristic yellow peel (only slightly darker than the pulp itself), the color of which can sometimes vary from dark yellow to light brown, with a barely noticeable mesh coating, and have an oval-rounded and slightly oblong shape. One tuber has an average weight of 65-90 grams. The eyes on it are small and, if you do not look closely, then they are almost invisible.
Tubers are good because, as a rule, there are no external and internal defects on them (cracks, dark flesh, etc.). The bush of this variety, if any, is spreading, and the corollas of the flowers are white. The starch content in Veneta ranges from 13 to 15%.
The variety is table variety, which means that it has passed a number of laboratory tests and meets the international standard of requirements.
So why is this variety so remarkable? There are several reasons for this. First of all, the variety attracts attention with its early ripening and high yield. In addition, the plant tolerates drought well, which in conditions of insufficient rainfall or artificial irrigation can be very useful. By the way, it is precisely because of this property that the overwhelming amount of potatoes grown in Central Asia is just the Veneta variety.
Omitting that long list of merits, which only vegetable growers with decent experience can properly appreciate, let's go straight to those qualities for which this variety is appreciated by gourmets and ordinary people.
Veneta has excellent taste, which becomes obvious when you just taste the variety once. The yellow flesh of potatoes is good because even after heat treatment, its color does not change at all, unlike some varieties. The slices keep their shape perfectly and look appetizing in a variety of salads. Thanks to these properties, Veneta is excellent for frying and cooking French fries.
One of the main distinguishing features of the Veneta potato variety is its resistance to a variety of different diseases and resistance to many known pest species.
Among the diseases that this variety will completely bypass include: potato golden cyst nematode, cancer, banded and wrinkled mosaic virus and leaf curling.
The absence of all these ailments will greatly facilitate the care of this vegetable crop for gardeners and summer residents. It is enough just to get rid of weeds in time and, if possible, keep the soil in a loose state, and then this potato variety promises to ripen without any problems.
As you can see, the Veneta variety was bred with the goal of combining all the best that was created by breeders in this industry, adding a couple of their improvements and ultimately getting an ideal potato variety, which will be grown without problems and will not be capricious during cooking. And, with all the above advantages of this variety, it should be noted that it was not in vain that they were taken out.
Veneta potatoes will be a wonderful decoration for almost any dish and will complement it with their special, incomparable taste.

Beijing has faced an outcry from activists, scholars, foreign governments and UN rights experts over what they call mass detentions and strict surveillance of the mostly Muslim Uighur minority and other Muslim groups who call Xinjiang home.
In August, a UN human rights panel said it had received credible reports that a million or more Uighurs and other minorities in the far western region are being held in what resembles a “massive internment camp”. Last week, the government organised a visit to three such facilities, which it calls vocational education training centres, for a small group of foreign reporters, including Reuters.
In recent days, a similar visit was arranged for diplomats from 12 non-Western countries, including Russia, Indonesia, India, Thailand, Kazakhstan, according to Xinjiang officials and foreign diplomats.
Senior officials, including Shohrat Zakir, Xinjiang’s governor and the region’s most senior Uighur, dismissed what they called “slanderous lies” about the facilities. Speaking in Xinjiang’s capital, Urumqi, Zakir said the centres had been “extremely effective” in reducing extremism by teaching residents about the law and helping them learn Mandarin.
“As time goes by, the people in the education training mechanism will be fewer and fewer,” he said.
Shohrat Zakir said he could not say exactly how many people were in the facilities.
“One million people, this number is rather frightening. One million people in the education mechanism — that’s not realistic. That’s purely a rumour,” he said, stressing they were temporary educational facilities.
Dilxat Raxit, spokesman for the Munich-based exile group the World Uyghur Congress, told Reuters the Chinese government was using extremism as an excuse to lock people up.
Inside the centres
Human rights groups and former detainees have said that conditions in the camps are poor, with inmates subject to abuse. They said detainees did not receive vocational training.
Seeking to counter that narrative, the government took reporters to three centres, in Kashgar, Hotan and Karakax, all in the heavily Uighur-populated southern part of Xinjiang, where much of the violence has taken place in recent years.
In one class reporters were allowed to briefly visit, a teacher explained in Mandarin that not allowing singing or dancing at a wedding or crying at a funeral are signs of extremist thought.
The students took notes, pausing to look up as reporters and officials entered the room. Some smiled awkwardly. Others just looked down at their books. All were Uighur. None appeared to have been mistreated.
In another class, residents read a Chinese lesson in their textbook entitled “Our motherland is so vast”. There was plenty of singing and dancing in other rooms reporters visited, including a lively rendition in English of “If You’re Happy and You Know It, Clap Your Hands,” that seemed to have been put on especially for the visit.
Several residents agreed to speak briefly to reporters, though all in the presence of government officials. Reporters were closely chaperoned at all times.
All the interviewees said they were there of their own accord after learning of the centres from local officials.
Many answers used extremely similar language about being “infected with extremist thought”. Pazalaibutuyi, 26, told reporters at the Hotan centre that five years ago she had attended an illegal religious gathering at a neighbour’s house, where they were taught that women should cover their faces.
“At that time I was infected with extremist thought so I wore a face veil,” she said, speaking clear Mandarin after a year at the centre. Government officials came to her village to talk to the villagers and after that, she said, “I discovered my mistake.”
In the Kashgar centre, Osmanjan, who declined to give his age, said he had incited ethnic hatred, so village police suggested he go for re-education.
“Under the influence of extremist thought, when non-Muslims came to my shop I was unwilling to serve them,” he said in unsteady Mandarin.
It was not possible to independently verify their stories. All the interviewees said they had not been forewarned of the visit.
Residents said they can “graduate” when they are judged to have reached a certain level with their Mandarin, de-radicalisation and legal knowledge. They are allowed phone calls with family members, but no cell phones. They are provided halal food.
Only minimal security was visible at any of the three centres.
Over a lunch of lamb kebabs, horse meat and naan, Urumqi party boss Xu Hairong told Reuters that “all of the reports are fake” when it comes to foreign coverage of Xinjiang.
The government says its goal is for Uighurs to become part of mainstream Chinese society. Shohrat Zakir said in parts of southern Xinjiang people couldn’t even say hello in Mandarin.
Officials point to a lack of violence in the past two years as evidence of programme’s success.
“Only with a deeper understanding of the past can you understand the measures we have taken today,” Shi Lei, Xinjiang’s Communist Party committee deputy propaganda chief, told reporters.

Enhancing Stormwater Management through Machine Learning-based Real-time Prediction and Control
Bowes, Benjamin, Civil Engineering - School of Engineering and Applied Science, University of Virginia
Goodall, Jonathan, EN-Eng Sys and Environment, University of Virginia
Many cities face high levels of flooding and pollution from stormwater runoff due to factors such as ongoing urbanization and aging stormwater management infrastructure. As climate change continues to alter precipitation, temperature, and sea levels, existing stormwater systems will be pushed beyond their designed capacity, further increasing flooding and pollution. This dissertation focuses on real-time prediction and control of stormwater related systems as a means to enhance community resilience to these issues. The research advanced the application of emerging deep machine learning techniques to water resources engineering using the coastal city of Norfolk, Virginia as a test-bed for these novel approaches. Norfolk faces recurrent flooding from storm events and ongoing sea level rise, while having to reduce polluted stormwater runoff entering the Chesapeake Bay. The first study uses supervised deep machine learning to create forecasts of groundwater table response to storm events, providing additional information for flood forecasting and stormwater management. The second and third studies explore deep reinforcement learning as a method for real-time control of stormwater systems. In the second study, reinforcement learning is used to create control strategies that mitigate flooding in a simple stormwater system scenario inspired by a watershed in Norfolk. The third study uses reinforcement learning for real-time stormwater system control with the competing objectives of mitigating flooding while also improving water quality by capturing sediment. This was done using a real-world simulation of Norfolk's Hague neighborhood instead of the simplified system from the second study. Key findings from this research are (i) deep machine learning can be used to create real-time hourly forecasts of the groundwater table response to storm events in a coastal city using forecast rainfall and tide conditions as input data with a mean root mean squared error of 0.05 m, (ii) reinforcement learning can learn real-time stormwater system control strategies that reduce flooding compared to conventional, uncontrolled stormwater systems by 32%, (iii) system-level stormwater real-time control with reinforcement learning can reduce flooding by 13% compared to local-scale control rules, and (iv) reinforcement learning can use real-time water quality observations to reduce sediment loads by an average of 52% with only a small increase in flooding (5%) compared to conventional, uncontrolled stormwater systems. While this dissertation has focused on coastal cities, the knowledge and methods developed could be applied to inland stormwater systems as well. These advancements contribute to a growing body of knowledge related to smart stormwater systems, which can aid communities through improved prediction and control of stormwater to reduce flooding and pollution.

One such approach is wildposting, a guerrilla advertising technique that takes it to the streets, captivating audiences with its unconventional nature. In this article, we will explore the bold impact of wildposting, its unique advantages, and how it captures attention in the urban landscape.
Wildposting, also known as flyposting or street poster advertising, originated as a form of guerrilla marketing that disrupts traditional advertising channels. It involves strategically placing posters, stickers, or murals in public spaces, targeting high-traffic areas to reach a broad audience. Wildposting campaigns have gained popularity due to their ability to create buzz, generate brand awareness, and dynamically engage viewers.
The Bold Impact of Wildposting
At the heart of wildposting lies its ability to captivate attention and make a lasting impression. By strategically placing eye-catching visuals in unexpected locations, wildposting commands immediate attention. Passersby are drawn to the striking posters or murals that stand out amidst the urban landscape, creating a sense of intrigue and curiosity.
The power of wildposting lies in its street credibility. By tapping into a city’s authenticity and urban culture, wildposting resonates with target audiences on a deeper level. It embraces street art’s raw, unfiltered nature and harnesses it as a powerful advertising medium. Through wildposting, brands can connect with the pulse of a community and establish a genuine connection with their audience.
Guerrilla advertising, of which wildposting is a prime example, disrupts the traditional advertising landscape. It challenges the status quo by defying conventional marketing methods and carving out a distinct space. Wildposting grabs attention precisely because it is different and unexpected. Its unorthodox approach can help brands eliminate the noise and stand out in a saturated marketplace.
Another aspect contributing to wildposting’s bold impact is the creativity and artistry it showcases. Artists and designers can unleash their creativity on the streets, transforming public spaces into canvases of expression. The visual appeal of wildpostings captures the imagination, evokes emotions, and encourages viewers to engage with the message being conveyed.
Advantages of Wildposting
Wildposting offers several advantages that make it an appealing option for marketers. One significant advantage is its cost-effectiveness. Wildposting campaigns can be executed at a fraction of the cost compared to traditional advertising channels, such as billboards or television commercials. This makes it an attractive option for small businesses or startups with limited marketing budgets.
In addition to cost-effectiveness, wildposting enables targeted reach. Marketers can strategically place wildpostings in specific neighbourhoods, venues, or areas where their target audience is more likely to be present. By honing in on these areas, brands can maximize their exposure and engagement with the desired demographic.
The viral potential of wildposting is another compelling advantage. In an age of social media, visually striking wildpostings have the potential to be shared and go viral online. People are drawn to unique and visually appealing content, and wildpostings often possess these qualities. When viewers share these captivating images on platforms like Instagram or Twitter, it amplifies the brand’s reach and generates organic buzz.
Navigating Challenges and Ethics
While wildposting presents opportunities for bold and impactful advertising, navigating challenges and adhering to ethical considerations is crucial. Legal considerations are paramount, as obtaining permits and adhering to local regulations when executing wildposting campaigns are essential. It ensures that the advertising is conducted within the boundaries of the law and respects the community’s interests.
Another important consideration is the environmental impact of wildposting. To mitigate this, responsible practices should be adopted, such as using biodegradable materials for posters and stickers or exploring alternative methods such as digital wildposting. By being mindful of the environmental impact, brands can engage in wildposting while minimizing harm to the ecosystem.
Balancing creativity and respect is also crucial when executing wildposting campaigns. Public spaces should be respected, and care should be taken to avoid damaging property or causing inconvenience to communities. By collaborating with local authorities and engaging in open communication, brands can balance their creative expression and the community’s needs.
Case Studies and Success Stories
Numerous brands have leveraged the power of wildposting to create impactful campaigns. One notable example is the Sugar Cosmetic brand, which used wildpostings featuring bold visuals and concise messaging to build intrigue around its product launch. The eye-catching posters sparked online and offline conversations, leading to increased brand recognition and a surge in sales.
Another success story comes from the Richman Lubana clothing company, which employed wildposting in targeted areas known for their fashion-forward demographics. By strategically placing posters showcasing their latest collection, they sparked curiosity. They drew in their target audience, resulting in a significant boost in foot traffic to their stores.
These case studies illustrate how brands can harness the bold impact of wildposting to achieve their marketing objectives, whether it’s creating buzz around a new product, increasing brand visibility, or driving customer engagement.
Embracing Wildposting in Your Marketing Strategy
To incorporate wildposting into your marketing strategy effectively, consider the following tips:
Know your target audience: Identify the areas and communities where your target audience is most likely present, allowing you to maximize the impact of your wildposting campaign.
Be bold and creative: Embrace wildposting’s artistic freedom and create visually stunning and thought-provoking designs that will capture attention and leave a lasting impression.
Plan strategically: Research and select high-traffic locations that align with your target audience and campaign objectives. Consider partnering with local businesses or event organizers to maximize exposure.
Integrate online and offline channels: Leverage the power of social media by encouraging viewers to share their encounters with your wildpostings online. Create a unique hashtag or offer incentives for user-generated content related to your campaign.

The Mavericks already have met the New York Knicks and former Maverick Jason Kidd twice this season.
Next up is Wednesday’s road game against Boston and Jason Terry, another integral member of the Mavericks’ 2011 NBA championship team — and a fan favorite for most of his eight seasons here.
Kidd’s and Terry’s summer departures were starkly different. Kidd initially agreed to a three-year deal with Dallas, but changed his mind and signed with the Knicks.
Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said Monday that the franchise and Terry “looked at multi-year deals, but we couldn’t make the numbers work.
“I would have liked for him to stay,” Cuban added, “but I understood what his goals were. He’s always going to be special and hopefully when his career is over he’ll come back and work with us.”
Cuban said Terry’s role could be in community relations, player development, fan outreach, or anything else the club and Terry come up with.
“He’s always welcome back,” Cuban said.
That is a far different tone than Cuban has taken when asked about Kidd. Before the season, Cuban said “I’m sure I’ll get over it at some point, but as of right now, I wouldn’t put J-Kidd’s number in the rafters.”
Terry, of course, has made it no secret that he hopes — and probably expects — the Mavericks to retire his jersey.
“Yeah, I know, I know, I know, I know,” Cuban said with a smile. “Yeah, we’ll deal with that. I’m not opposed to it, let’s put it that way.”

New government regulations proposed to control lead in drinking water could affect more than half of all U.S. water suppliers and could cost families as much as an extra $340 in annual bills.
The Environmental Protection Agency has proposed the sweeping new controls on lead in an effort to reduce health risks from the toxic metal for 138 million Americans, particularly children.EPA Administrator Lee Thomas said Wednesday that the new regulations, which face 60 days of public comment before they can become law, would be worth all extra costs because of the widespread health benefits.
"This proposal will reduce lead in the drinking water of 138 million Americans and will be especially beneficial to young children, who are at much greater risk than adults," Thomas said.
Even relatively low levels of lead in blood can reduce birth weight, cause premature delivery and impair physical and mental development of children.
In adults, low levels can cause hearing loss and increase blood pressure while high exposure can cause anemia, kidney damage and mental retardation.
The current lead standard was set in 1975, but EPA officials said a tougher standard is needed in view of recent health studies showing humans are more sensitive to lead contamination than previously thought.
The new regulations would be expected to affect more than half of all U.S. water suppliers, officials said, and could cost a family anywhere from an additional $1 to $340 a year on a water bill, with those served by smaller systems bearing the highest costs.
For systems with persistent lead problems, the government would require public education programs in which water suppliers would help homeowners identify lead contamination problems in their plumbing.
The two-pronged EPA program would reduce by tenfold the maximum allowable levels of lead in drinking water as it leaves local treatment plants.
But EPA officials said the major thrust of their program was aimed at reducing lead contamination that occurs when drinking water leaves the treatment plant and enters distribution and home plumbing systems.
They said most lead gets into drinking water through corrosion of pipes and other plumbing fixtures made of lead and the acidity of water was the key factor in determining lead leaching rates.
The new rules would impose requirements on water supply systems to monitor the acidity of their water and take steps to reduce acidity if it is found to be too corrosive or lead levels are too high.
Under the program, corrosion-control measures would be required if water samples taken at customer taps contain more than 10 parts per billion of lead or show acidity levels below eight on the pH scale. Samples would have to be taken in buildings most likely to have lead problems.

The Coolest Halloween Candies Of 2020 To Impress Trick-Or-Treaters
October is the one month of the year when you can go to the store, toss as many bags of candy in your cart as possible, and not one single person will raise a judgmental brow. Though, conversely, come October 31, know that parents and children will be judging you on the Halloween candy you dole out to all the excitable trick-or-treaters. Are you the house that hands out king-size bars or miniature boxes of dried fruit? Did you forgo candy altogether to drop pennies in their plastic pumpkins, instead? Trust us, don’t go there. Cash is ideal any other day of the year; but when it comes to Halloween, kids want you to show them the candy.
Now that your pennies are back in the bank, what’s it going to be, Mom? Sweet or sour? Chocolate bars or gummy bears? The possibilities are endless and the selection is overwhelming. To help narrow down your options, we’ve rounded up some of the best Halloween candy to hit shelves in 2020. And remember, you don’t have to control your sweet tooth as you start pressing “add to cart.” After all, Halloween might be for the kids, but leftover Halloween candy is for the adults.
Is there any greater satisfaction than dropping a full-sized Hershey’s Chocolate Bar into the bag of a bite-sized trick-or-treater, only to hear them squeal, “Wow, a big bar!” on their way back to their parents? We think not. Hand out any one of the options from Hershey’s assorted variety pack, and no doubt you’ll be the most popular house on the block (so you might want to purchase more than one box).
Before you get ahead of yourself — no, Hershey’s has not discovered a way to make their chocolate glow in the dark. They have rolled out limited-edition luminescent wrappers for Halloween, though, which is arguably the next best thing. Drop one of these Hershey’s Halloween Glow In The Dark Wrapped Chocolates into your trick-or-treaters bags, and they’ll probably forgive you for handing out bite-sized pieces.
Sweet or salty? Flipz Pretzel Minis deliver the best of both flavors to your trick-or-treaters’ taste buds. One pack yields 24 miniature bags, so make sure to buy a few extra. Whatever’s leftover can be tossed into your own child’s lunch bag (or stashed away just for Mom). Plus, from now until September 30th, you can enter to win your very own Flipz® Ja-HACK-et™ to store all of your candy and goodies, like Flipz, for Halloween by visiting Flipzsnackhackz.com.
Justin’s Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups are a real treat, but the mother of all tricks is hidden in the ingredients list. Each delectable chocolate cup is gluten-free, dairy-free, Kosher, and vegan, and is made from all certified organic ingredients like dark chocolate, cocoa butter, and peanuts. So not only are they delicious, but they’re a better-for-you buy.
Chocolate and coconut go together almost as well as peanut butter and chocolate. Unreal Dark Chocolate Coconut Bars are certified vegan, non-GMO, and pack a ton of flavor with only 3 grams of sugar per treat. That means your kid can indulge, sans a mighty sugar high.
A tiny bite of chocolate is a really big tease. Luckily when it comes to MARS Chocolate minis, though, a little goes a long way. But even if just a taste of rich milk chocolate and gooey caramel leaves your trick-or-treaters wanting more, this four-pound bag of MARS favorites full of Snickers, Twix, 3 Musketeers, and Milky Ways yields 240 pieces of candy. In other words, you can definitely spare a handful for every chocolate-lover that needs their fill.
Nothing says “Happy Halloween” quite like a crisp bag of M&Ms. While we’re partial to the traditional pack, this M&M’s Variety Mix includes baggies of classic milk chocolate, peanut, and peanut butter-filled gems. But don’t get caught up in giving each and every trick-or-treater a choice between the three. Doll them out as you see fit, and they can always trade for their fave.
Pepperidge Farm Goldfish Crackers are a must for Halloween goody bags. Not only are they perfect for toddler trick-or-treaters who aren’t chowing down on caramel bars just yet, but they also satisfy taste buds that prefer salty to sweet. Halloween is overflowing with chocolate; don’t be afraid to be the house that adds a little variety to their stash.
Once you’ve covered your sweet and salty bases, next comes the fruity candy. Airheads are always a crowd-pleaser because they’re chewy, not too sticky, and exploding with flavor in every single bite. They’re also free of the big eight allergens, like milk, eggs, tree nuts, soy, and wheat, so everyone can enjoy a piece. Bonus points for the trick-or-treater who can guess what the White Mystery flavor is.
Listen, if you’re going to be *that* house, the one that gives out raisins instead of traditional Halloween candy, the least you can do is hand out Sun-Maid’s new Sour Watermelon Raisin snacks that pack a little more punch in this healthy alternative to the classic candy bar. Available in four flavors — Watermelon, Grape, Mixed Berry and Strawberry — dried fruit has never been so tasty, not to mention kid-friendly. Trust us; stick with Sun-Maid and trick or treaters won’t dodge your house this Halloween.
SmartSweets is all about Halloween candy that tastes good, but that also makes you feel good, too. Rather than feed your child heavily processed bars that get them hopped up on sugar, then have them crashing on your couch from the high, these sour gummy bears are naturally sweetened by Stevia, and contain zero sugar alcohols. Better on their body, better on your conscience. Now that’s a treat.

|I hate to state the obvious, but are you sure the magnet is close enough to the sensor? (Or rather the pickup is close enough to the magnet...)|

|I had the same problem. I replaced the magnet with a Cateye magnet made for aero spokes and it works fine. A friend of mine also had the problem and the Cateye magnet worked. I had to remove some of the material of the plastic piece that the magnet screws into with a dremel tool to get it to fit over the spoke properly.|

Shimano's Flight Decke comes with a very big magnet and doesn't work with a mid-size magnet like the one that comes with the Ksyriums.
My VDO works with the Ksyrium magnet, but not with a small Sigma magnet.

Ferguson making progress, Justice Department attorneys say
ST. LOUIS (AP) — Ferguson, Missouri, is making progress in the effort to end racial bias in police and court practices, but the city needs to be more transparent, attorneys for the U.S. Department of Justice told a federal judge Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Catherine Perry heard an update on a consent agreement reached in 2016. The St. Louis suburb has been under scrutiny since the August 2014 death of Michael Brown, an unarmed, black 18-year-old fatally shot by white officer Darren Wilson.
Wilson was cleared of wrongdoing and resigned in November 2014, but the shooting led to months of unrest and prompted a Justice Department investigation. A lawsuit filed by the Justice Department was settled last year when Ferguson agreed to the consent agreement that Perry was appointed to oversee.
Justice Department attorney Amy Senier gave Ferguson high marks for developing policies on issues such as officer recruitment and use of force. She said the city developed a citizen review board for police and is working to find additional ways to engage the community.
“We believe we are all working together in good faith to reach the requirements of the decree,” Senier said.
But Senier and some of the 12 residents who spoke at the hearing said they don’t believe the public is being kept informed about all of the efforts. Senier said she is particularly concerned about the city website, which she described as outdated on such things as how to file complaints or pay court fees.
Resident Nick Kasoff, who was a driving force behind a successful ballot initiative outlining strict requirements for police body and dashboard cameras, said that two months after the issue passed with 71 percent of the vote, “the city has acted as though it never happened.” He said the city website makes no mention of the requirements.
City Attorney Apollo Carey said the problem is the new law and the consent decree requirements about body cameras have conflicting provisions. Carey said the city is working to find a resolution, but until then, “the consent decree rules.”
Money to revamp the city website has been budgeted for the fiscal year that starts July 1, Carey said.
Another resident, Emily Davis, was critical of Clark Ervin, a Washington lawyer monitoring the consent decree. Davis said Ervin has not been accessible to the public.
“The community remains in the dark about the process,” she said.
Ervin said he has hosted public meetings and plans more. Perry defended Ervin, too, saying it’s up to Ferguson and the Justice Department to fix the problems, not the monitor.
Perry said it was clear that Ferguson was making progress. “Things are happening, I think, very impressively under this policy,” she said.
The city’s agreement with the Justice Department also requires hiring more minority officers, diversity training for officers, developing a community policing model and other changes. The process is expected to take years and cost about $2.3 million.
