TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) -Nearly three out of four Republicans believe the FBI and Justice Department are trying to undermine U.S. President Donald Trump, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released on Monday, a sharp turn for a party that has historically been a strong backer of law enforcement agencies.
Overall, most of the public still believes that Trump or someone from his campaign worked with Russia to influence the 2016 U.S. presidential election, allegations that Moscow and Trump have repeatedly denied.
The Feb. 3-5 poll found that Americans were sharply divided along party lines over a federal investigation into potential ties between Trump’s 2016 campaign and Russia, a controversy that has hung over his year-old presidency.
Trump has called the probe a witch hunt and accused the top leadership of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and Justice Department of being biased against him. The dispute has caused an extraordinary breach between the White House and law enforcement and deepened partisan rancor.
Some 73 percent of Republicans agreed that “members of the FBI and Department of Justice are working to delegitimize Trump through politically motivated investigations.”
But three in four Democrats said they believed a competing narrative that “members of the Republican Party and the White House are working to delegitimize the FBI and DOJ in the investigation of Russian tampering in the 2016 presidential election.”
The poll findings appear to reflect the influence that Trump wields among Republicans, who have long reserved some of their highest levels of trust for the country’s law enforcement agencies.
Nearly 84 percent of Republicans said in a January 2015 Reuters/Ipsos poll that they had a “favorable” view of the FBI.
Last month, 91 percent of Republicans said they had a “great deal” or “some” confidence in the country’s law enforcement agencies, compared with the 75 percent who expressed a similar level of confidence in the Trump administration and 47 percent who said the same about Congress.
Erroll Southers, a national security expert and former FBI agent, said Trump had shown an uncanny ability to shape his supporters’ views of the world in a way that benefits him. By hammering at federal investigators, Southers said, Trump was inoculating himself from any political fallout that may follow.

Tony Rettman "NYHC: New York Hardcore 1980-1990" - Book
Known for its glamorous 1970s punk rock scene, New York City matched the grim, urban reality of the 1980s with a rawer musical uprising: New York Hardcore as bands of misfits from across the region gravitated to the forgotten frontier of Manhattan's Lower East Side. With a backdrop of despair, bands like Agnostic Front, Cro-Mags, Murphy's Law and Youth Of Today confronted their reality with relentlessly energetic gigs at CBGB, A7 and the numerous squats in the area. Tony Rettman's ambitious oral history captures ten years of struggling, including the scene's original rivalries with DC and boston, the birth of moshing, the clash and coming to terms of hardcore and heavy metal, the straight edge movement and the unlikely influence of Krishna consciousness. Foreword by Freddy Cricien of Madball. Now back in stock.
Trade paperback, 6.75" x 9.5", 450 pages.

The spring brings many beautiful blooms, including these distinct dark centered blooms.
Anemones are a studio favorite for their unique large dark center. They are popular flower for weddings, bridal bouquets, vased arrangements and gardens.
The Anemones that are grown for our cut flower consumption are the Anemone Corinaria. These gentle, delicate classy flowers can add that needed texture, color, and funk that everyone loves in their flower piece. These babes are sensitive to cold and heat, they open big and wide when they warm up to show us their cool unique center. There 120 species of anemone and they are grown all over the world. The most common anemone seen is the Japanese Anemone, which is seen the winter and fall in most floral shops.
Planting Anemones in the garden can be easy because they can handle some winter cold! They do not take up a ton of garden space and bloom mid spring.
Using these alone in a vased arrangement can be a good way to have a clean, simple look, yet they can be added with other flowers for more dimension.
If kept in a temperate area, the water is changed regularly and the stems are freshly cut often, you should be able to enjoy these blooms for 4 to 5 days. Once the petals start to drop, you can keep the center for some added texture a few days longer.

The outgoing Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, General Julius Karangi, may continue to call shots in government if plans to create a new Cabinet slot are effected.
Sources say plans are in place to create a new position of National Security Advisor to be occupied by Karangi. In the US, where Kenya has heavily borrowed much of its military operations, the National Security Advisor is a senior position whose holder sits in the Cabinet.
Other speculations say the retiring CDF could be appointed to the yet to be created Ministry of Homeland Security, which will replace the present Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination. “He is the man to watch and he is dependable in all ways. He will be in Cabinet,” said a source privy to the plans. As he retires from the military to serve in civilian capacity, Karangi leaves with his head high.
“I have served the military for 42 years now and I am happy,” he said. During his tenure, Karangi says he, among other achievements, made sure all military property was secured. “There were many speculators who even wanted to grab military land here in Nairobi and other parts of the country. We secured the property and we have faith they are safe,” he said in an earlier interview.
He said land belonging to the military in Embakasi would have been grabbed had he not stood his ground. Another land near DoD, valued at Sh3 billion, had also been grabbed but the retiring general says he was in the front line in reclaiming and fencing it. Karangi also won public praise for the successful military operation against the Al-Shabaab in Somalia under Operation Linda Nchi and overseeing a smooth transfer of power from President Kibaki to Uhuru Kenyatta.
On Friday, President Kenyatta, who is the Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, was full of praise for the retiring general. “I take this opportunity to thank Karangi for his dedicated service to Kenya that was marked by diligence, great commitment, humility and patriotism”.
The President said Karangi “leaves our Defence Forces in a much better place both professionally and operationally.” The 64-year-old Karangi, who also served as Vice-Chief of General Staff, became the first Chief of Kenya Defence Forces under the new constitutional dispensation.
The new Constitution replaced Kenya Armed Forces with Kenya Defence Force, with the Chief of Kenya Defence Forces replacing the Chief of General Staff. Karangi’s extended stay in office was occasioned by a misunderstanding on the takeover of the troops at Somalia under Amisom. His stay in office, according to insiders, saw a number of senior officers retire early while keeping with internal administrative rules, popularly known as the Tonje Rules, named after former military chief General Daudi Tonje, who designed and implemented them.
Under the Tonje Rules, the CDF retires at 62 while lieutenant-generals and major-generals retire at 58 and 56 respectively if they are not promoted to the next rank. The rules are applicable to the CDF, the commanders of the Kenya Army, Kenya Air Force and the Kenya Navy. But an officer can retire at a younger age if he has been a service commander for four years. The Tonje Rules also allow the CDF position to rotate between the Army, Air Force and Navy. However, the rules are largely guidelines that are subject to change by the Commander-in-Chief.
Karangi became the first Kenyan general to be decorated by the US military in 2014 for his role in the KDF raid of Somalia. He was invited to the US by General Martin E Dempsey, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, where he held talks on the prevailing security situation in the region.
The retiring CDF also inspected a guard of honour at the Pentagon. “While at the Pentagon the CDF was awarded the prestigious Legion of Merit Medal in a colourful ceremony presided over by General Dempsey. This award was given in recognition of his efforts in stabilising Somalia and degrading the capacity of Al-Shabaab,” says DOD website.

Why is social inclusion important for the development of Vietnam?
Though Vietnam has made significant progress in achieving the key targets of the Millennium Development Goals and has confirmed its strong commitment to implement the Sustainable Development Goals framework, the challenges toward vulnerable groups such as the poor, women, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities, and the LGBTI community still remain large. The statistics below illustrate the severity of this challenge:
- Ethnic minorities: While approximately 13 percent of the population in Vietnam lives below the poverty line, the poverty rate of ethnic minority groups is still over 66 percent. This group also has much lower access to education, health care, electricity, clean water, and sanitation. Data estimated by the World Bank shows that the ethnic minority population could comprise 84 percent of the poor in Vietnam by 2020.
- Women: The current representation of women in Vietnam’s National Assembly for the 2016 to 2021 term is only 26.8 percent despite the effort of the government and international development partners aiming to increase this rate to 35 percent. Only one out of 22 ministers of the government is a woman. Women-owned enterprises account for only 25 percent of firms in Vietnam. Of the female labor force, 68.2 percent work as unpaid family workers with inadequate earnings, low productivity, and indecent working conditions. A national study revealed that 58 percent of ever-married women experience some forms of physical, sexual, or emotional violence by their partners.
- People with disabilities: People with disabilities are among the poorest of the poor in Vietnam and have very limited opportunities to access employment or quality health services. Nearly 20 percent of people with disabilities have never gone to school, and this rate for people with severe disabilities is 45 percent.
Those obstacles will not only affect the lives of marginalized people, but also hinder the potential development of the economy. More efforts need to be made by government and development agencies to ensure every citizen benefits from the economic growth and enjoys their equal rights. The USAID Governance for Inclusive Growth (GIG) Project in Vietnam has been working with the public and private sector to enhance governance and to facilitate trade through improving the legal and regulatory environment and the system of accountability, as well as promoting inclusive growth that benefits all citizens in the country.
What are the biggest challenges you have encountered when implementing inclusive activities?
Gender stereotypes remain influential among society and even with young people in Vietnam. Women are considered to be responsible for household work and have less status and power in the family. This attitude brings negative implications for women in both family and social life. Men are still preferred for leadership positions over equally qualified women. In the business sector, women-owned enterprises have shared several barriers with the GIG team that they face, including difficulties in accessing financial resources and markets, limited opportunities to widen business networks, and a lack of management skills and knowledge.
For ethnic minority groups, because they often live in remote areas, there are geographic and language barriers that have naturally limited their participation in the growing economy of Vietnam. Ethnic minority people, especially women, lack knowledge on government policies and programs on poverty reduction and economic development because of their lower literacy level and limited dissemination of information in those regions. Therefore, the participation of local people in designing the policies and development plans directly affecting their lives is limited.
People with disabilities also face serious challenges of inadequate awareness of communities and service providers regarding how to properly support people with disabilities to enjoy theirs rights equally as other citizens. Changes has been slow in providing people with disabilities with meaningful opportunities for participation, and addressing key barriers in physical access, communication, and policies.
In Vietnam, there are not many civil society organizations and civil society’s development is at the infant stage with limited capacity. Voices of vulnerable groups are therefore still lacking in policy dialogues and the development agenda.
What are some innovative approaches you have taken to include marginalized groups in your project?
On the USAID GIG project, our staff and counterparts have applied several approaches to promote inclusive growth and social inclusion, with a focus on strengthening the legal framework, building institutional capacity, and promoting public participation.
- Strengthening the legal framework to promote the access to justice: The project provides technical support in development of the revised Legal Aid Law and the new Decree on Legal Counselling. These legal documents will directly benefit specific marginalized groups who are not able to pay for legal services. The project has also shared international experience and best practices with the Ministry of Justice, National Assembly, and other national stakeholders, and has planned a number of training sessions on legal aid and legal counselling for 2017.
- Strengthening the legal framework around economic empowerment: The project also works with the government and private sector to support the development of the Law on Small and Medium Enterprises, review the implementation of the Law on Cooperatives, and review national policies on trade promotion in the remote, mountainous, and island regions.
- Mainstreaming issues of vulnerable people into legal normative documents: As examples, the project is supporting the development of a guideline on public consultation in policy development, mainstreaming transgender issues in the new Civil Code, and mainstreaming the issues of gender-sensitive budgeting in the State Budget Law as well as developing its implementation guideline.
- Building the capacity of government on gender equality: The project supports the discussion of a gender action plan in the justice sector. We are also training staff in the justice sector to mainstream gender issues in legal normative documents.
- Promoting the participation of vulnerable groups in policy discussions: In all our project’s research, consultation meetings, and policy discussions, we give priority to promoting the participation of specific vulnerable groups or small and medium enterprises to ensure their needs and issues will be in the discussion agenda and reflected in formulated policies and laws.

It looks like the stars are
blind aligned—because Paris Hilton just revealed her baby boy’s name.
Nearly a month after announcing her little one’s arrival, the heiress, 42, shared his moniker on the Feb. 22 episode of her This Is Paris podcast. And it is…Phoenix Barron Hilton Reum!
E! News has exclusively learned that Paris will further discuss her baby boy’s name in her upcoming book, Paris: The Memoir, set for release March 14.
Paris introduced the world to her and husband Carter Reum‘s son on Jan. 24, posting a picture of his hand wrapped in hers to Instagram and writing, “You are already loved beyond words.”
According to People, the couple welcomed the child via surrogate.
“It’s always been my dream to be a mother and I’m so happy that Carter and I found each other,” she told the outlet. “We are so excited to start our family together and our hearts are exploding with love for our baby boy.”
Before announcing the baby news, Paris and Carter had kept plans to grow their family private.
“My entire life has been so public,” the reality star told Harper’s Bazaar for its March 2023 cover story. “I’ve never had anything for myself. We decided that we wanted to have this whole experience to ourselves.”


The Chestnut-backed Chickadee (Poecile rufescens) is a type of small bird found in western North America. They have a black cap, gray upperparts and white cheeks. The most distinctive feature of this species is its chestnut brown back and wings that extend down to their flanks. Their underparts are light gray with contrasting dark streaks on the breast and sides. This species can grow up to 5 ½ inches in size and weigh about 0.4 ounces.
Where To Find This Bird
The Chestnut-backed Chickadee is generally found along the Pacific Coast from Alaska all the way south into Mexico, though it also occurs inland in western Montana, at least as far east as Alberta, Canada. It prefers woodlands such as coniferous forests or mixed deciduous forests near water sources where they can find food more easily throughout the year.
Chestnut-backed chickadees live in dense shrubs or trees with an abundance of insect life which provides them with ample food supplies throughout the year. They create nests inside tree cavities or abandoned woodpecker holes where they raise their young each season starting around April/May depending on region location and weather conditions.. During winter months these birds will form larger social groups when food sources become scarce allowing them to better survive harsh winter climates together for protection from predators such as hawks or other raptors looking for easy prey amongst the flock .


A shopper gave two strangers cash to help buy him a pair of 'exclusive' trainers... and watched on as they ran away with the cash.
The 34-year-old was left £260 out of pocket after misplacing his trust in two men in Manchester city centre .
He had been queueing at a store on Market Street for a pair of new limited edition trainers, which were apparently one pair per customer.
As the victim was after two pairs, he got hold of two passersby and managed to persuade them to queue with him for the second pair.
He handed over the cash, and is then said to have received a phone call and was momentarily distracted.
As his back was turned, the two men ran off.
Insp Phil Spurgeon , of GMP City Centre, said they believe the trainers were the recently released Adidas NMD.
It is also thought the victim was a day early for their arrival in store.
GMP City Centre tweeted: “Man queueing for limited edition trainers got passerby to queue for 2nd pair + hands over £260. Man distracted + passerby runs off with cash.”
Adding: “...we don’t know what the trainers were, sorry. Regardless of victim’s actions, we’re doing CCTV work to track down the thief.
“...we’re told possibly Adidas NMD? To make it worse, victim was apparently a day early...”

Residents of the Los Angeles neighborhood of Westwood discovered antisemitic and racist flyers apparently distributed by the same group behind a spate of similar incidents in Beverly Hills and across the country.
The flyers contain a link to the Goyim Defense League, a “loose network of individuals connected by their virulent antisemitism,” according to the Anti-Defamation League. Residents in Beverly Hills previously discovered similar flyers on Nov. 28, the first day of Hanukkah, on Dec. 18, and then again on April 15, the first night of Passover.
On May 21, members of the group drove through parts of Los Angeles and Beverly Hills in a rented U-Haul plastered with antisemitic posters, live streaming as they heckled passersby with a megaphone before stopping at the Beverly Hilton.
Officers with the Beverly Hills Police Department (BHPD) engaged twice with the members, according to a summary of the livestream by the hate group research outlet Left Coast Right Watch. The first time, BHPD officers informed them that they were trespassing on private property and needed a permit to use an amplified sound device. The same officers later pulled the U-Haul over after one member had been walking in the roadway and jumping into a moving vehicle. The hate group members were let off with a warning.
The flyers made multiple antisemitic declarations, including, “Every single aspect of the media is Jewish,” “Every single aspect of the Ukraine-Russia War is Jewish,” “Every single aspect of Disney child grooming is Jewish,” and “Every single aspect of the COVID agenda is Jewish.”
The flyers also played on racist themes as well, saying that Jews are “the real slave bringers.”
Jewish groups quickly condemned the latest incident.
“We are appalled by the antisemitic flyers spread in Westwood,” Jeffrey I. Abrams, Regional Director of Anti-Defamation League (ADL) Los Angeles, told the Courier in a statement. “Not only do these flyers claim that Jews are responsible for the spread of COVID-19 and are in total control of the media and financial institutions, but the messaging has expanded to target other minority groups including the Black community. The claim that Black people are somehow equally responsible for the American slave trade is outrageous and particularly offensive during Juneteenth commemorations.
“While the subject matter differs from previous incidents, the harmful intention is the same, as is our response. These hateful, antisemitic, racist messages can and do inspire violence against Jews and other minority groups and it cannot be tolerated.”
Since 2016, the ADL has documented an alarming rise in antisemitic incidents. Four of the worst years for anti-Jewish hate have occurred in the last five years, according to an annual survey conducted by the organization since 1979.
“This spate of flyers comes on the heels of a string of similar incidents around Los Angeles, Kern, Riverside and San Bernardino counties over the last eight months,” Abrams said. “Our county is witnessing an epidemic of antisemitic vitriol. ADL’s 2021 Audit of Antisemitic Incidents showed that vandalism, such as these hateful flyers, increased by 12% from 2020 to 2021. What’s more concerning is that we saw a 28% increase in harassment and a 367% increase in assaults in the same time period.”

In Area C, which falls fully under Israeli control according to the Oslo Accords, the PA has been making inroads with virtually no interference from Israel.
By: David Isaac
The Israeli Civil Administration, which is in charge of policy in Judea and Samaria, is about to face the music. It has failed to stop years of Palestinian encroachment on Israeli-controlled territory in Area C, critics say.
Having been asked a year ago to present a plan to stop said encroachment, the Civil Administration will finally do so before the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee on Thursday.
Israel’s Security Cabinet heard the plan last week in a classified meeting.
That presentation was prompted by an earlier meeting in the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee which gave low marks to the civil administration for failing to confront the PA takeover, Makor Rishon reports on Friday.
The PA has been making inroads in Area C with virtually no interference from Israel.
MK Zvi Hauser, chairman of the Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, said, “In order to prepare for stopping the Palestinian takeover of Area C, we need to find a systematic method that enables us to manage the area.”
Hauser said the problem isn’t that instructions aren’t given, but that they aren’t carried out, noting that a year has passed since the Security Cabinet ordered the mapping of all Arab illegal building in the area and a plan devised to stop it.
According to Makor Rishon, the Civil Administration will come in for heavy criticism, such as explaining why it immediately returned confiscated engineering equipment to the PA.
A State Comptroller’s report released on Monday exposed major weaknesses in the Civil Administration. Meir Deutsch, Director General of Regavim, said “Even a cursory read between the lines of the State Comptroller’s report on the Civil Administration leaves no room for argument: The Civil Administration must be shut down, and its professional staff reassigned to the relevant ministries of the Israeli government.”
At an earlier committee meeting, the nonprofit Regavim, which monitors land issues in Israel, revealed that the PA had built in illegal highway to connect two Arab villages. While the villages are in Area B, a considerable section of the highway goes through Area C.

An international curriculum for accountancy aspirants abroad has been launched by the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI). The ICAI is the second largest professional body of Chartered Accountants in the world, with a strong tradition of service to the Indian economy in the public interest.
International Affair Policy of ICAI:
Commenting on the international curriculum for accountancy aspirants abroad, V Muraleedharan, Minister of State for External Affairs said, "The International Affair Policy and International Curriculum launched by ICAI is a step in the right direction to enhance ICAI's global presence and recognition."
"The International Affair Policy of ICAI aims to develop Indian CAs as a truly global brand at international level. It envisions positioning ICAI as a highly valued accountancy body globally and enhancing global visibility, increasing global mobility and contributing to the development of Indian economy as a whole."
''I am confident that it will prove to be another historic milestone in the journey of the accountancy profession, not only in India but also in other foreign countries,'' he added.
About the international curriculum:
The international curriculum is in line with the stated intent, being designed in such a manner to attract students from across developing nations in the initial stages of economic development, who in turn will contribute to the economic growth of their countries, as per the ICAI officials.
''Through its International Curriculum, ICAI seeks to achieve the government's objective of internationalisation of higher education as enshrined in the National Education Policy as also to partner the government's efforts in facilitating and supporting the economic growth of developing nations by imparting professional accountancy education to students of such countries which do not have a national professional accountancy organisation of their own,'' said Atul Kumar Gupta, President, ICAI, as reported by PTI.
Further, Ashok Haldia, Convener, Group to formulate Foreign Policy of ICAI said that ''In the current fintech era where physical boundaries have diminished and finance and technology have merged, the International Affairs Policy document is of paramount importance to position Indian Chartered Accountants as strategic business leaders for global economy''.
No change on exam pattern:
As reported by PTI, the existing structure of the CA curriculum with three levels of examination would be retained in the International Curriculum. Education would continue to be imparted through distance learning by providing study materials and other educational inputs.
In order to bridge the distance learning gap, greater emphasis would be laid on focus e-learning modes, like e-books, e-lectures, e-journal, and virtual coaching classes in the international curriculum for accountancy aspirants abroad.
Moreover, Information Technology Training (ITT) and Management and Communication Skills (MCS) would also be imparted online. Also, the three-year concurrent practical and industrial training would be mandatory in the international curriculum as well.

This week we covered data warehouses, with a bit of a focus on the relationship with big data. A few questions posed were:
- What changes occur in the presence of big, fast, possibly unstructured data?
- Is the Data Warehouse architecture still the same?
- If not, what needs to be changed or adapted?
In my view, big data is just another data dimension that can be processed with technologies like Hadoop, and then brought into the data warehouse like any other set of data. Using a mechanism like MapReduce to gain insight from masses of data, then allows that insight to be overlayed with other data from transactional systems, as well as external systems, to provide better information to make business decisions.
But is the data warehouse architecture still the same? Yes and no. I think that originally the driver behind having a data warehouse was to be able to run queries against your data, without affecting your transaction system’s performance. But these days, your could run your transactional system on an in-memory database like SAP HANA which runs very quickly. So do you still need a data warehouse? http://www.element61.be/e/resourc-detail.asp?ResourceId=767 argues that you do because:
- Data warehouses provide a single version of the truth over aggregates of data coming from multiple data sources, not just transactional systems;
- Data warehouses can run data quality processes that wouldn’t be running in the transactional system;
- Data warehouses can provide a historical view of information, which may no longer be stored in a transactional system.
Therefore, it’s likely that the architecture of a data warehouse will remain, augmented by in-memory technologies, with big data systems like Hadoop (or HDFS) used as just another data source as an input to the data warehouse. This was reiterated in one of the readings for the week, “Integrating Hadoop into Business Intelligence and Data Warehousing” by Philip Russom, which notes “Users experienced with HDFS consider it a complement to their DW”.
I think an infrastructural trend towards data warehouses is the creation of them in the cloud. Infrastructure in the cloud is very cheap, with products like Amazon Reshift providing Cloud Datawarehouses the can store petabytes of information, without having to purchase expensive hardware.
Another reading was to look at Tableau’s perspective on the Top 10 Trends in Business Intelligence for 2014. As an Enterprise Architect I read these sorts of sales pitches/white papers every day, and I find them to be a bit generic. The list is as follows:
- The end of data scientists.
- Cloud business intelligence goes mainstream.
- Big data finally goes to the sky.
- Agile business intelligence extends its lead.
- Predictive analytics, once the realm of advanced and specialized systems, will move into the mainstream.
- Embedded business intelligence begins to emerge in an attempt to put analytics in the path of everyday business activities.
- Storytelling becomes a priority.
- Mobile business intelligence becomes the primary experience for leading-edge organizations.
- Organizations begin to analyze social data in earnest.
- NoSQL is the new Hadoop.
This list really shows the relationship of data warehouses and BI in the broader context of IT, such as Cloud Computing, Agile, and Mobility. So while all the steps make sense, there’s not too many pearls of wisdom. In fact, pointing out that Storytelling is becoming a priority appears pretty self-evident to me, where if the point of BI is to “turn data into insight to make business decisions”, then if decision makers don’t understand the insight put in front of them, they they’ll fail to use that insight to make their decisions, eroding the business value of BI.

I have known Assistant District Attorney Clayton Jones since he first became a licensed attorney 15 years ago. Since that time I have watched him mature into a hardworking, humble, and caring attorney. It is clear to me that he strives for excellence with every case that he handles. During my time as a Superior Court Judge in Durham County, I have had many opportunities to observe Attorney Jones in court. He is always punctual and prepared. He has a strong reputation in the
Durham County legal community for being a fair and professional attorney.
I fully support Attorney Jones as Durham County’s next District Court Judge. Having been a judge for twenty years, I know what it takes for an attorney to become a good judge. An attorney must have knowledge of the law, patience, and mercy. Attorney Jones has all of these characteristics. He also is in the unique position to have worked as both an Assistant Public Defender and an Assistant
District Attorney in Durham County. I believe that his experience in both of these positions will ensure that he is fair to all people who appear before him. Having served in those positions has given him the opportunity to experience cases from both sides. I have seen him advocate zealously for defendants as a public defender and now for victims as an assistant district attorney. It is for these reasons that I am confident that Clayton Jones will be an excellent judge.


Due to the fact that classical computers cannot efficiently obtain random numbers, it is common practice to design cryptosystems in terms of real random numbers and then replace them with cryptographically secure pseudorandom ones for concrete implementations. However, as pointed out by the previous work (Nuida, PKC 2021), this technique may lead to compromise of security in secure multiparty computation (MPC) protocols, due to the property that a seed for a pseudorandom generator (PRG) is visible by an adversary in the context of MPC. Although this work suggested to use information-theoretically secure protocols (together with PRGs with high min-entropy) to alleviate the problem, yet it is preferable to base the security on computational assumptions rather than the stronger information-theoretic ones. By observing that the contrived constructions in the aforementioned work use MPC protocols and PRGs that are closely related to each other, we notice that it may help to alleviate the problem by using protocols and PRGs that are “unrelated” to each other. In this paper, we propose a notion called “computational irrelevancy” to formalise the term “unrelated” and under this condition provide a security guarantee under computational assumptions.

Everything we experience in life has certain energies in it. Those energies are called yin and yang. They are each other’s opposites.
Yin is cool, expansive and moistening.
Yang is warm, contractive and drying.
For example: Savasana is more yin, Sun Salutations are more yang. Living in a quiet small village is more yin, while living in a large and busy city is more yang.
What you eat has the same qualities, in different doses. In general, yin foods are sweet, yang foods are salty.
Because yin is cooling and moistening, it’s the best food to eat during the hot summer months. Also, if you know you have a lot of yang in yourself, eating cooling yin foods might help to bring some balance. Too much yang might come up as being very easily irritated, angry or restless, but also being thirsty all the time.
Either way, this cooling summer dish is perfect to bring some more yin in your life!

Part-time resident bolsters Big Sky’s combative effort of COVID-19
By Brandon Walker EBS STAFF
BIG SKY – While the Town Center Owners Association officially announced the STAY Big Sky campaign on May 29, the wheels were already in motion when the campaign received a $10,000 donation from part-time Big Sky resident, Will McCollum, along with other collaborative efforts.
McCollum, who splits his time between Denver, Colorado and Big Sky, weathered the COVID-19 shutdown in his Moonlight home with his girlfriend, Kara Pearson. “We decided mid-March when things really went down that this is the safest place for us to be, as well [as] the best place for us to keep our wits about us and keep our morale’s high,” he said.
TCOA marketing and events manager, Erik Morrison grew close with McCollum while the pair recreated together during the shutdown. After Morrison shared his initial thoughts on the STAY Big Sky campaign with his new friend, McCollum donated funds to purchase “Montana Masks” for the community. Morrison estimated the money purchased roughly 3,000 masks that himself and McCollum began to distribute to frontline workers, local businesses and community members on June 2.
McCollum voiced his appreciation and thankfulness for Big Sky, where the effect of the pandemic has been smaller in scale to areas with larger outbreaks, remarking on the ease of access to recreational opportunities that have kept him and Pearson active throughout the pandemic.
“40 million people unemployed, there’s social unrest and America’s on edge and I just felt like this is a way that we could make a positive contribution to a community that hopefully can be a real refuge or respite to a lot of Americans who road trip to Big Sky,” he said describing the thoughts that went into his contribution. “So, if we can keep Big Sky open, I’m really hoping that our community can have a bigger ripple effect on all those visitors who really need a break.”
McCollum described that the masks are intended to help alleviate transmission in the event of a major outbreak of COVID-19 in the community. “What we’re really hoping is that we won’t have to use them,” he said. “But if that’s the case then we’re going to be prepared and I think that’s part of the deal to keep us open.”
TCOA collaborated with Visit Big Sky and the Big Sky Chamber of Commerce to deliver “COVID bundles” to community businesses on May 29, jump starting their efforts. Built on a foundation of collaboration, the STAY Big Sky campaign is a joint effort between TCOA, Lone Mountain Land Company, VBS and the chamber along with other local partners.
Morrison applauded the various local initiatives to help relieve the COVID-19 stresses that blitzed the community. TCOA recognized a need for a uniform effort to be developed that would continue assisting businesses as the state moves into Phase 2 of the reopening. “We’re just trying to focus the efforts initially in Town Center and then work with our partners to hopefully get it out to the entire community and beyond,” he said.
TCOA plans to continue supplying area businesses with necessary personal protective equipment and other health and safety related materials throughout the summer and will explore all funding methods to do so. “We don’t want the cost to be a factor in not being able to adopt this and keep this campaign going and keep us open,” Morrison said.
“It’s about all of us. It’s not just Town Center,” Morrison said. “It’s really about all of us in Big Sky from Big Sky locals to second homeowners to destination travelers. Every single one of those segments has a stake in this game.”

Drinks giant accused of trying to con Latinos who don't drink tap water into buying it in a bottle
- Nestlé 'targeting' Pure Life at immigrants who don't trust local supply
Nestlé is being accused of duping immigrants who mistrust tap water by selling it to them disguised in bottles.
The food and drinks giant opened its first Pure Life bottled water store in the Bronx, New York, two years ago.
Since then the company has used Spanish television commercials to market the water to Latinos as a healthy product.
On sale: Nestle's Pure Life is described as 'no better' than tap water
But a Boston-based watchdog group says the ethnic group is being targeted, despite Pure Life being 'no better' than free tap water.
The group, Corporate Accountability International, led a protest outside the store in Southern Boulevard, Lockwood, on Wednesday.
It also conducted blind taste tests for passersby.
Organiser Erin Diaz told the New Daily News: 'New York has some of the best tap water in the country.
'But Nestlé has been targeting Latinos, making people think that buying bottled water is the most responsible choice.'
She claimed that Nestlé markets to Latinos because many Latin American immigrants distrust tap water. The Bronx is 53 per cent Latino.
Nestle's Mercado del agua in the Bronx. Corporate Accountability International says Nestle's marketing of Pure Life bottled water to Latinos is deceptive
According to a study from the Medical College of Wisconsin, minority parents are three times more likely to buy bottled water.
Figures show the average American family spends up to $615 per year on bottled water, with Latinos and black families spending more than white.
It found that they prefer bottled water because they believe it to be safer and cleaner.
In total, the industry is worth $15 billion a year and is dominated by Nestlé, Pepsi and Coke.
Urbeno Estevez, 27, told the paper he was shocked after taking a taste test.
'The Bronx water tasted the best,' said the Dominican Republic immigrant. 'I usually buy bottled water at the store because we don’t drink the tap water in my country. Now I realise I should be drinking Bronx water.'
Nestlé claims it supports people drinking more water, 'regardless of whether it comes from a faucet or a bottle,' and admits that tap water is safe to drink.
The company insists that bottled water can help tackle obesity among Latinos and that Pure Life adverts urge people to buy water rather than sugary drinks.
A Nestlé spokeswoman added that Pure Life can be sourced from the public system, but the water is filtered to get rid of chemicals such as chlorine.

Carrie Lam, the top director in hong Kong, but does not exclude the possibility that they will China have to ask for help in order to put an end to the ongoing violent protests in the city. That, ” she said on Tuesday at a press conference.
Despite this, believes Lam the hong kong authorities to the problems to cope with. “At this point, I have always had a strong feeling that the solution must be found. It is also the starting point for the Chinese government in Beijing that hong Kong will be the problem on your own have to deal with.”
“But if the situation really is, we can’t have more advanced options to exclude, if we wish that hong Kong will still have a chance. We will then be able to rely on China,” said Lam.
Lamb decided that a ban on gezichtsbedekkende clothes. She hoped, thereby, to put an end to the ongoing chaos in the city.
Activists don’t maskerverbod
The ban appeared to backfire as to work, and a lot of the protesters did not meet the new rule. For the past four days, had to re-violent protests take place in hong Kong. Since Friday, two-hundred retail shops, and public facilities vandalized.
Also, the 77 people arrested for the violation of any of the maskerverbod, which are subject only to the exceptions will apply if there is a religious, occupational, or medical reasons. The youngest defendant was twelve years old.
People will be able to, for violation of the injunction, a penalty of only up to 2,900 euro imposed. Also, they risk a prison sentence of one year. It’s not at all clear how the ban will be enforced. Be made by the authorities last week announced that the police officers are allowed to ask questions of the gezichtsbedekking to remove it.

Regular clashes with the police

Art Histories Welcome Weeks 2016
Representative spaces in Berlin and Potsdam
Urbanism, Representations of Power and Religion, Ecologies and Aesthetic Practices
Oct 10-24 2016, Berlin and Potsdam

This October, in order to welcome the Art Histories Fellows 2016/2017 to the research program Art Histories and Aesthetic Practices, the group explored urban and environmental representative spaces and cultural institutions throughout Berlin and Potsdam. In a workshop, the Fellows of Art Histories and of the associated research program ‘Connecting Art History in the Museum’ (CAHIM) gathered for the presentations of the Fellows’ research projects.
At Potsdam, the group visited palace and garden spaces and architecture at Babelsberg, Glienicke, and Sanssouci, addressing among others questions of originality, preservation, and regionality with the help of colleagues from Stiftung Preußischer Schlösser und Gärten (SPSG) and from the interdisciplinary research project ‘Historic Gardens and Climate Change’ of Berlin Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften (BBAW). While at SPSG, the group discussed restoration and the discrepancy of original or former function and present usability of these representative spaces with the director Prof. Dr. Hartmut Dorgerloh.
Back in Berlin, these representative spaces were juxtaposed to urban historic spaces by visiting Lustgarten, where the outlook on the Humboldt Forum was paramount, and by exploring the former Tempelhof Airport surroundings. There, the group focused on the representative function of the national socialist architecture and the transformation into a recreational space, also addressing the present function of the former airport architecture as refugee accommodation, particularly the possibilities of including the refugees in cultural activities.
The idea of historic functional transformation of representative spaces and objects was broadened by a visit of the Museum of Islamic Art with the director Prof. Dr. Stefan Weber. During the visit to the Lahore Ahmadiyya mosque in Wilmersdorf, the oldest existing Mosque in Germany, the question of representing Islam through architecture and the Muslim community, and the historic changes from its creation in the 1920s to the transformed political and sociological challenges of the 21st century were addressed by Imam Amir Aziz.

Call me colorblind, but as I tug on the gnarled threads of my 89 years, I've felt the tickle of time poking fun more often than not around my venerable sternum, specifically the stylohyoid region. As my esteemed reading contingent would attest, my literary pursuits have been a blend of swashbuckling Twain and strategic Clancy, with a thunderclap of eccentricity in the mix. Perhaps my recent misadventure with a delightfully deceptive CBD product will strike a chord of mirth in your palate.
As an aging entheogen enthusiast, I encountered on the precipice of the virtual bazaar of remedies, a seemingly flamboyant CBD potion named 'Colorblind'. The very name tripped a thrilling waltz in my imagination – an adventure, promising relief from the persistent nagging pain in my stylohyoid, a region most young folk probably don't even know they own until you sneeze too hard or try to swallow a whole hardboiled egg. Ah, the joys of age!
However, dear reader, what escaped my fine-print scrutiny, and skipped my vegan sensibilities, was the mischievous detail that this hobgoblin concoction had been tested on a Red Uakari! A sin against nature! To the uninitiated, a Red Uakari is an exotic primate, not a sumo wrestler from Finland or a rare hamburger typically reserved for iron-deficient astronauts.
I admit wholeheartedly, my dear friends, that the experience did reflect the name- Colorblind. I began with a cautious dosage, a droplet under my parched tongue. The taste was bizarre, akin to a coin that had danced a fiery tango with a clove of garlic and retired in a vat of old, fermented prune juice.
Simultaneously, the effects were fast-acting, rather like trying to catch a greased-up ferret in a bathtub. The pain in my stylohyoid miraculously decamped, for its grand tour commenced across my spinal column, danced a brief jig around both knees before settling comfortably in my big toe of all places!
Fear not, for humor availed itself in ample measure. I began seeing the world in panchromatic vision, everything taking on the sheen of an old-fashioned silent movie. Even my precious Pomeranian, Barnaby, was rendered a perfect monochrome, but I confess, the sight was more hilarious than alarming. I ambled clumsily around my house like Chaplin, at times tripping over my own slippers, during the oil slick phase of this farcical journey.
To add another-color-in-the-rainbow irony, my well-meaning dermatologist, Dr. Winslow, had popped by for an unexpected visit, and was summarily convinced my Flapper-era complexion was a symptom of carbon monoxide poisoning. After a delightful kerfuffle involving oxygen masks, fresh-squeezed prune juice, a particularly vocal parrot, and several wildly inaccurate readings of my blood pressure, he left, still muttering about 'improbable survival odds'.
On recollecting today's shenanigans, I'm left wondering whether the Uakari's reaction was similar to mine if not more reasonable. Reasoning aside, I maintain that the idea to test CBD on red-arsed monkeys remains absurd. The Colorblind substance, while a misstep in my search for pain relief, provided a day of hilarity and an eyeful of greys and blacks.
Before we adjourn, some advice for my fellow adventurers in age – keep your eyes open, spectacles clean, and wit sharp while hunting for miracle cures in the wilderness of the internet. You may never know when you'll step onto a slippery patch of "Colorblind CBD.” Holler "Whoa Nelly!" and hold on tight to the ride.

About unproven remedies for arthritis
Proof is necessary
Any unproven remedy--even a harmless one--can hurt you if it fails to control your arthritis.
Treatments for arthritis must show that they work and are safe. Treatments that help arthritis must show in scientific tests that they work by meeting one or more of the following goals:
- reduce pain
- reduce inflammation
- keep joints moving safely
- avoid stress damage to joints
- keep you independent
Treatments must also show how safe they are. The benefits of a treatment in controlling arthritis should be greater than the risk of unwanted or harmful effects on your health.
Even an unproven remedy that is harmless can be unsafe if it causes you to stop or slow down treatments that control arthritis. Harmless remedies include treatments that do not help arthritis but are probably safe. Copper bracelets are one example.
Some unproven remedies may be unsafe or harmful in themselves. Harmful remedies have a direct negative effect on your health. For instance DMSO can cause skin irritation and diarrhea.
Harmless remedies include:
- copper bracelets
- mineral springs
- many topical creams
- gentle vibrators
- vinegar and honey
Possibly harmful remedies include:
- large doses of vitamins
- snake venom
- drugs with hidden or unknown ingredients
Unknown remedies include:
- bee venom
- special diets
- fish oil
Much is unknown
The effects and safety of many unproven remedies are unknown. Many have not been studied. For instance, many of the special diets you read about for arthritis are unproven because their effects and safety have not been studied. Similarly, magnet therapy has not been proven to work. Some treatments are new or experimental which means they are still being studied. For example, scientists are looking at the effects of some anti-cancer drugs, such as interferon, on certain types of arthritis. They are also studying drugs used in organ transplants, such as cyclosporine. These studies weigh the benefits of new treatments in controlling arthritis against the risk of possible damage to other parts of the body.
Characteristics of arthritis
Arthritis is chronic and unpredictable
Many aspects of arthritis can encourage people to try unproven remedies.
Arthritis is chronic which means it may affect you for the rest of your life. But arthritis symptoms may come and go without warning. You may think a new remedy worked because you took it when your symptoms were going away.
Arthritis can improve after you do or take something that you believe will help. This is called the placebo effect. The power of positive thinking may cause you to feel better. This improvement usually lasts only a short time. Studies show that about one-third of the people taking a placebo improve. This happens even when people take sugar pills. Scientists think the body releases certain chemicals that promote this positive effect.
Some aspects of arthritis treatment can also encourage you to turn to unproven remedies. For instance, treatments vary for each type of arthritis. They work differently on every person. And they can change with time as the disease changes. So your doctor has to find the combination of things that works best for you. This takes time and patience. It's easy to become discouraged with this process and hope for a quick and easy answer.
Watch for False and exaggerated claims
Promoters for unproven remedies offer hope for an answer to your problems with arthritis. Ads often make false or exaggerated claims that the remedy will:
- cure arthritis
- be natural--no side effects
- work for all types of arthritis
- require no effort on your part
- work for everyone
- be inexpensive
- work immediately and permanently
- keep you from needing drugs or surgery
Suspect health fraud when you see these claims for a remedy.
It may be hard to spot an unproven remedy at first glance. The only source of information on a remedy may be what's given out by its promoters. You can sometimes spot an unproven remedy by asking what's known about its effects safety and promotion.
Is it likely to work?
Science versus science fiction
It's important that you find out what any new treatment is supposed to do for arthritis. Scientists say a treatment works when it results in an improvement in one or more of the treatment goals for arthritis.
You can use the following tip-offs to tell the difference between reports of unproven remedies and scientific studies.
Works for all types of arthritis.
here are over 100 types of arthritis and treatments vary for each kind. Scientists test a new treatment on people with a specific type of arthritis. These people are usually similar in age sex race and medical history. If you hear about a treatment that works for arthritis ask what kind of arthritis the people in the study had.
Uses case histories and testimonials
Stories about a treatment that worked for only a few people are called case histories or testimonials. They often use the person's name and picture. Sometimes they even cite stories from a large number of people. Scientists look for a treatment to show improvement in a large number of people by repeating studies and using statistical tests. Large numbers repeated studies and statistical tests show that the results are not due to chance or to the placebo effect. Ethical scientists also do not reveal the names of people involved in any test of a treatment.
Cites only one study
A single study may get results which other studies cannot repeat. A single study only suggests that a treatment may have promise. Usually a number of scientists must repeat the same study and get similar results to prove that the treatment works.
Cites a study without a control group
Scientists compare the effects of two or more treatments. One group of people gets a new treatment. They are known as the experimental group. Another group of people gets a treatment whose effects are already known or they get no treatment at all. This comparison group is called the control group. The use of control groups helps show that the results are due to the new treatment and not to some other factor.
How safe is it?
Along with the desired benefits for arthritis treatments may also cause unwanted effects on your health. These are called side effects.
Some side effects can be very serious. You need to know how any new treatment is likely to affect you--how safe it is. You and your doctor can weigh this information to see if the benefits are worth the risk. You can use certain safety tip-offs to spot unproven remedies.
Comes without directions for use
our doctor will tell you when and how to use a new treatment. How you use a new treatment may affect how well it works or may help avoid unwanted side effects. For instance, your doctor may tell you to take your arthritis medication with a meal to avoid an upset stomach. Suspect an unproven remedy if a treatment comes without directions.
Does not list contents
You should know what's in any new medication or treatment that you take. Look for a list on the label. Some ads for a miracle drug for arthritis actually are just aspirin at a high price. Some unlabeled Chinese herbal pills as well as drugs from Mexican border clinics have been found to contain corticosteroids. These are powerful drugs for arthritis. They have many side effects and should never be used without your doctor's supervision.
Has no warnings about side effects
You should be told about any side effects. There should be warnings on the label or instructions stating who should not use the treatment.
Described as harmless or natural
Many people think that natural means harmless. Scientists look for tests to prove that a treatment is safe and also has some benefits. For example, snake venom is natural but it can be harmful.
How is it promoted?
Promoters of unproven remedies use many other ways to appeal directly to people with arthritis their families and friends.
These methods include the media--television and radio news or talk shows, newspapers, and magazines. Promoters also use books, direct mail, franchised and door-to-door sales. They make oral claims. You can often spot an unproven remedy by how and where it's promoted.
Based on a secret formula
Scientists share their discoveries so that other experts in arthritis can review and question their results. A claim that only its inventor knows about a new discovery signals an unproven remedy.
Claims it cures arthritis
here are many different types of arthritis and it's unlikely that one treatment will cure them all. If there's a major new advance in treating arthritis many people will know about it including your doctor.
Available only from one source
reatments for arthritis are available from many different providers of medical care; not just a single person or company.
Promoted only in the media, books, or by mail order
Newspapers, magazines, television, and books are often good sources of information about how to deal with arthritis. But they should not be the only source. Research on new treatments will appear first in medical journals that are read by experts in arthritis care. If you have questions about a treatment you've seen or heard about check with your doctor.
Before trying an unproven remedy
Responding to pressure
Many well-meaning family members and friends can pressure you to try an unproven remedy. They often urge you to try a remedy that they heard about from another person. We all tend to believe what others tell us about their personal experience.
You can respond to such pressure by thanking the person for their concern. Suggest that you will ask your doctor about their recommendation.
Before trying an unproven remedy
- Check with your doctor to find out what is known about the effects and safety of the remedy.
- Let your doctor know what you are thinking about trying. Don't be embarrassed. Your doctor knows your medical history and can help you look carefully at how safe a remedy may be for you to try in addition to your regular treatment.
- Continue your regular medical care for arthritis.
Treatment plans vary
There are many effective and safe ways to control the pain and loss of motion from arthritis. Your doctor will select a plan of treatment most likely to work for you and your type of arthritis. Your care may involve more than one kind of treatment. The kinds of treatments you use may also change over time and for different types of arthritis. Treatments may involve one or more of the following:
- use of heat and cold
- joint protection
- self help aids
You play the most important role in your own care. You make your own health care decisions every day. As a consumer of health care and a key member of your health care team ask questions. Judge for yourself the effects and safety of any new treatment for arthritis before you try it. You can ask your doctor for more information on any treatment for arthritis.
Who can help?
Several agencies can also answer your questions or take your complaints about unproven remedies for arthritis. Your report of a problem may help keep an unsafe remedy off the market.

Born Alive Infant Protection Act Signed into Law
Austin, Texas – Yesterday Governor Greg Abbott signed HB16, the Texas Born Alive Infant Protection Act into law. The bill is a response as people around the country listened in shock to the actions of New York’s legislature and the comments of Virginia Governor Ralph Northam about abortions up to the moment of birth, and even after birth. Children who survive an abortion should be, and now will be, protected and given lifesaving care in Texas.
This legislation is similar to a bill Congressional Republicans have tried to get a vote on over 50 times but have been blocked by Democrats. With the signing of this bill into law, Texas once again leads by example.
Texas Values Action, partnered with an abortion survivor, Gianna Jessen, to help get her message out by media and social media when she testified in favor of HB 16 before the Texas House Committee on Judiciary and Civil Jurisprudence.
Nicole Hudgens, Senior Policy Analyst for Texas Values Action said “With the signing of this law, Texas has drawn a line in the sand against the barbaric infanticide policies of other states. Every life is precious and deserves to be protected. We thank Gov. Abbott for signing this common-sense bill into law and for the hard work of Rep. Leach and Sen. Kolkhorst for their leadership on this issue.”
This is the fourth legislative session in a row the Texas Values and Texas Values Action team have helped lead the passage of pro-life law in Texas.
