All that’s old is new again.
Three-wheeled cars are enjoying a huge resurgence in popularity in recent years, perhaps unmatched since Karl Benz built the very first mass-produced automobile (the 3-wheeled Benz Motorwagen) in 1886. Trikes can offer many of the benefits of a motorcycle (speed, good fuel economy and reliability) with some of the stability attributes of a car. However, you might want to think twice about building a copy of your Dad’s Volkswagen-powered cart.
If you want to know why three-wheeled cars aren’t more popular, you need only look at how weight transfers. When going around a left-hand corner, the vehicle’s weight transfers to the right-front corner. This isn’t a problem in a car, but a traditional “Delta” shaped trike doesn’t have a wheel at that corner to lean on. End result: hit the brakes while turning and the trike rolls over on top of you. The simplest and most obvious solution is to put two tires at the front and one at the back. This “backwards” design is colloquially known as a “tadpole,” and is simply the safest and best performing three-wheeled design on the planet.
Tadpole trikes suffer from the opposite problem that Delta trikes do; they can flip over backwards under a combination of acceleration and cornering. Not only that, but powering a single rear wheel and turning with two front wheels is simply asking for snap-oversteer (sudden spin-outs).
The best way to safeguard against either of these happening is to make your tadpole trike front wheel drive. Under cornering, a front-wheel drive car lifts the outside front wheel, which will limit your trike’s ability to put power down in the twisties and act as a “weak link” in the chassis dynamic capabilities. In short, you shouldn’t be able to put down enough power to flip the trike while cornering.
Engine and Chassis
Here’s the simplest and most effective recipe for a FWD tadpole trike: a Volkswagen transaxle mated to an 1,100 cc V-twin motorcycle engine with an adapter bellhousing. Volkswagen transmissions are fairly light and their bellhousings face backward, allowing you to put the engine closer to the center of mass for better handling.
Connect the VW’s half-shafts to any front-wheel drive car’s suspension (Acura RSXs have an excellent front suspension), and tie it all together with a custom-built tube chassis. Stick a huge 15-inch wide street-tread drag tire (both Indy and Mickey Thompson make them) out back on a hard-tail suspension and you’ve got yourself a basic chassis.
Car vs. Bike
At this point you can go one of two routes, car or motorcycle. You can install a single or two side-by-side bucket seats and some fiberglass or aluminum body panels to make it a car, or you can install a single or tandem saddles to make a motorcycle. Either way, the torque and horsepower of that 1,100 cc V-Twin will provide plenty of motivation for your under-1,000 pound ride. A side-by-side car-style setup simplifies the steering linkage (which will require a chain-drive for center-mount applications), but will make the trike much heavier on one side than the other.

The government’s “refusal” to develop emergency response plans for schools and exams in the summer of 2020 is the “most unforgivable aspect” of the treatment of education in the COVID-19 pandemic, a new report said. Suggests.
Lessons from school closures and exams from the first blockade were “unlearned” and led to cases of “pause, rewind, repeat”, a paper by the Institute for Government (IfG) found. did.
Prior to this month’s A-level and GCSE results, a report entitled “Schools and Coronavirus: The Treatment of Government Education During a Pandemic” was published by the Prime Minister during the post-closure period of British schools in March 2020. Is described as “easy”. It was the most devastating period in children’s education, at least since the beginning of World War II. “
“The most important conclusion is that the most unforgivable aspect of what happened was not only that we did not plan for an emergency response in the summer of 2020, but that we refused to do so. It is necessary and its testing. May need to be canceled again.
“Since no lessons were learned from the initial blockade, the story from July 2020 to January 2021 was a case of” pause, rewind, repeat “in both school closures and exams. “
In addition, he adds: From time to time, I felt that the school system was confused. “
“The first very quick decision was made on the definition of the main workers a child can attend school,” the report said. “The supply of laptops for distance learning is probably inevitable. It was slower than everyone wanted, “he added.
However, special attention is paid to the “highly centralized approach” dealing with 24,000 schools and the “tension between No. 10 and DfE” (Ministry of Education).
Secretary of Education Gavin Williamson added, “It seems that he was not directly involved in any of the major meetings prior to the initial decision to close the school in March 2020.”
“We refused to trust the local government and were unable to effectively engage in a way that allowed the local government and its director of public health to respond more subtly and better,” the report added. I am.
“Terrifying communication. Repeated declarations that schools will open or close, or exams will be held, but despite obvious uncertainties, continued until reality struck. As a result, after the U-turn. U-turns occurred, leaving students, parents and teachers confused and confused many times. “
The report contains claims from tenth sources regarding Boris Johnson’s approach to emergency response planning.
It states: “A tenth source said the’clear steering’ received by the authorities from the Prime Minister was not to develop an emergency response plan. The school was scheduled to reopen. The exam will be held.
“The view was that if you were prepared to prevent these things from happening, it would be much more likely that the results wouldn’t happen … people look for an easy way to do it.”
“According to this insider, the prime minister’s default is bluffing. Speaking things to the extent that it is caused by the power of his own personality, a very powerful tool. But the virus does not hear those messages.”
Nikolas Timins, Senior Fellow of IfG and author of the report, said:
“Some early decisions in England were successful. Some took longer than everyone wanted to implement, but with lasting benefits.
“But students, parents and teachers faced” pause, rewind, repeat “cases, especially beyond the exam, because they were unable to develop an emergency response plan in the summer and fall of 2020. did. “
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Education said: In October 2020.
“We acted swiftly in all situations to minimize the impact on children’s education and well-being and to ensure that students receive face-to-face education as much as possible.
“We provide underprivileged students with 1.3 million laptops and tablets, fund the Oak National Academy to provide video lessons, and exams that help students take the next step in education and work. I made sure that I could receive my grades. “

Twenty years ago, my sister Catherine did Saturday reporting shifts on the Sunday Express, and it was she who told me in 1983 that Sir John Junor was looking for somebody to write the paper's political diary, Cross-Bencher.
I wrote to the great man offering my services, and he wrote back telling me to write three trial columns over the next three weeks.
The third week, he summoned me to an interview in his office in the Black Lubyanka, as everybody called the Express building in Fleet Street, telling me to bring my latest offering with me.
I had made a pact with my wife that if Sir John were to give me the job, I should demand £1,000 a year more than he offered, and I should not settle for less than the £13,000 I was then being paid by the Financial Times.
I can remember my job interview verbatim.
"So, you are the brother of Caroline," he said.
"Catherine," I said.
"And the son of . . . er . . ." He scanned his memory for my father's name, and couldn't find it. "The son of . . . the great Utley".
"Yes. Son of T.E."
I handed him my final trial column, and he read it.
"This is very poor," he said. "Very poor indeed." A long pause, while he stared at me with his poached-egg eyes, relishing my discomfort. "But your last one was quite brilliant." I beamed.
"You're not married," he said - more a statement than a question.
"Well, I can't offer you very much money, I'm afraid. Will £18,500 year do?" My jaw dropped and I nodded vigorously, forgetting my promise to demand £1,000 more. "And we'll try to get you a car, too."
The interview had lasted less than two minutes, in the course of which he had told me that my work was "very poor" and "quite brilliant", and had made me rich beyond my dreams.
I was taken to see Henry Macrory, the news editor, who wrote my name on the staff list. "Wait a minute," he said. "We can't have two Utleys at the Sunday Express" - and he crossed out my sister's name. She never worked there again.
I was to get very used to ups and downs like these over the next three and a half years, until Sir John left the editor's chair. I had entered a wildly eccentric world, in which JJ and his whims, prejudices and moods reigned supreme. Whenever Sunday Express veterans meet we talk constantly about the old monster, swapping stories about the dreadful humiliations and sentimental kindnesses that he heaped upon us. I had never known such a dominating presence, and have never met one since.
Perhaps because I had the arrogance of youth, and he was old, I minded his bullying less than those who had had to endure it for decades (he was editor from 1954 to 1986, and whatever his staff may have thought about him, they tended to stay for years).
I liked him enormously, anyway, and admired his gifts as a funny and provocative columnist. So, when most reviewers savaged his autobiography, I volunteered to write a piece for the Literary Review, saying how much I loved working for him.
His daughter Penny quotes my piece in the foreword to Home Truths, her warts-and-all life of her father. I had complained that he gave away very little about himself in his autobiography, and wrote that I would rather read a book about him by somebody else.
"Well, Tom," writes Miss Junor in her foreword, "here it is."
Now, I don't know what to say. To read most of what has been written about Miss Junor's book, you would think that it was nothing but a vicious hatchet-job on her father, depicting him as a bullying, selfish, home-wrecking adulterer who was vile to his wife and odiously hypocritical in print.
In fact, the book - fascinating, perceptive and very funny in parts - paints a much more rounded picture of JJ, and goes some way to explaining why so many people, including the author herself, loved him.
But it made me feel terribly sad. The impression that it leaves is of a daughter dissecting her father and exposing all his ugliest parts to the world. I don't want the last of the giants of old Fleet Street to be remembered like this.

Even after announcing an arbitrary blanket ban on accounts associated with QAnon, Facebook isn’t done suppressing the movement.
As part of another crackdown, the social media platform has revealed that searches for the “save our children” hashtag, a slogan that’s often used by QAnon followers, will now redirect users to “credible child safety resource.”
A Facebook spokesperson said that this restriction on the hashtag is being put in place because “we’ve found that content tied to it now associated with QAnon.”
Facebook’s initial ban on QAnon accounts, pages, and groups was one of the largest and most far-reaching that it has ever deployed against a specific movement.
But following this mass purge, Facebook is continuing to make changes that prevent users from even searching for QAnon content.
Not only are search results for this “save our children” hashtag being redirected to Facebook-approved “credible” resources but the platform also redirects other QAnon-related search results to a resource that frames QAnon as “a decentralised violent ideology” in its opening sentence.
Facebook is one of many Big Tech platforms to mass censor the QAnon movement with YouTube, Twitter, TikTok, Patreon, Etsy, Spotify, Vimeo, and even the at-home fitness brand Peloton cracking down on the movement.
The pressure to censor QAnon has been driven by mainstream media outlets which claim that QAnon is pushing conspiracies and misinformation.
The post Facebook restricts the “save our children” hashtag appeared first on Reclaim The Net.

Lilly Foundation Commits US $30 Million to The Lilly MDR-TB PartnershipBy Eli Lilly And Company, PRNE
Wednesday, October 26, 2011
LILLE, France, October 27, 2011 -
- Funding Continues Partnership’s Fight against Multidrug-Resistant Tuberculosis
The Eli Lilly and Company Foundation has committed US $30 million in funding to further support The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership in its fight against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis - a disease that disproportionately affects developing countries and kills more than 150,000 people each year. The announcement was made ahead of the opening of the 42nd Union World Conference on Lung Health in Lille, France, later this week.
Eli Lilly and Company (NYSE: LLY) launched The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership in 2003 to strengthen the global battle against multidrug-resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB). Lilly originally committed US $70 million to launch the partnership, elevate MDR-TB on the global health agenda and transfer technology for two Lilly medicines used to treat MDR-TB to other manufacturers. In 2007, Lilly expanded the original duration and scope for the partnership by committing an additional US $50 million to the collaboration - and another US $15 million for early drug discovery efforts - to complete the technology transfer and to further strengthen awareness, prevention and care for patients who suffer from MDR-TB and TB.
The Lilly Foundation has now committed an additional US $30 million to support a third and final stage of the partnership. This funding will be used to advance the partnership’s efforts in two key areas of focus over the next five years (2012-2016):
- Providing training for healthcare providers - from professional healthcare workers such as nurses and doctors, to informal care givers, such as community volunteers.
- Improving supply and access to safe, effective and quality-assured second-line drugs - currently less than one percent of MDR-TB patients globally receive appropriate second-line treatment.
The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership will continue to work with partners at the global and local level, with a specific focus in China, India, Russia and South Africa - the four countries with the highest burden of MDR-TB.
Furthermore, the partnership will use the following approach to guide its efforts:
- Research: Pilot and collect data on new and existing best practices to combat MDR-TB - specifically in the areas of healthcare provider training and improving access to second-line medicines;
- Report: Work with well-respected partners to share data and key learnings; and
- Advocate: Inform key stakeholders about the findings and encourage the adaptation and scale-up of proven, cost-effective solutions.
With the additional US $30 million in funding, Lilly and the Lilly Foundation will have committed a total of US $165 million from 2003-2016 in cash, product and in-kind services and material to The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership and external early drug discovery efforts for TB.
In 2016, Lilly will conclude its role in The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership. Over the next five years, Lilly will support its partners to help ensure they are well positioned to carry on the partnership’s work - with the ultimate goal of sharing learnings with the global health community so that successful solutions can be sustained and replicated around the world.
“We are very proud to make this announcement today. Yet, our financial contribution is small compared to the billions of dollars needed to fight MDR-TB. We cannot solve this global challenge alone, but - given our unique experience and capabilities - we will continue to play an important role as a catalyst,” said John C. Lechleiter, Ph.D., Eli Lilly and Company chairman, president and chief executive officer. “Our goal over the next five years is to focus the partnership on finding effective new approaches that improve patient outcomes and that can be replicated by others.”
Dr. Lucica Ditiu, Executive Secretary of the Stop TB Partnership, noted: “With this new focus, The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership will have a significant impact on two of the most critical challenges to tackling MDR-TB: the shortage of expertise and health workers - especially community health workers - who are well versed in all the medical and social elements of TB care; and the uncertain supply of high-quality second-line TB drugs. By supporting partners that are addressing these challenges, The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership will continue to help countries move toward providing high-quality TB treatment for all people who need it.”
The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership
The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership is comprised of more than 25 health organizations, academic institutions and corporations - including the World Health Organization, the Stop TB Partnership and the International Council of Nurses. The goal of the partnership is to combat the expanding global crisis of MDR-TB by providing access to medicines, raising awareness and training health care professionals.
“Years ago, Lilly began supplying two medicines since shown to be effective against MDR-TB,” said Lechleiter. “Even as our portfolio evolved over time to a focus on chronic diseases, we started The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership to mobilize and engage organizations to fight this devastating disease. Since the inception of the partnership in 2003, our goal has been to collaborate with other organizations and help them advance this work, with Lilly’s involvement diminishing over time in a responsible manner.”
Significant Successes 2003 - 2011
In the first eight years of The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership (2003 - 2011), Lilly’s commitment of US $135 million was allocated among three principal areas: US $70 million for drug supply and the transfer of MDR-TB drug manufacturing technology to local suppliers in high-burden countries; US $50 million for advocacy activities, community support and health care provider training; and US $15 million to the non-profit TB Drug Discovery Initiative.
The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership has achieved significant results, including:
- The transfer of manufacturing technology to seven companies around the world to increase availability of MDR-TB medicines and improve standards of care. Companies in China, India, Russia and South Africa - the highest burden countries for MDR-TB - received technology, know-how and trademarks, as well as training and financial support from Lilly.
- The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership has trained more than 100,000 health care professionals and nurses to better recognize, diagnose and treat MDR-TB, and to provide care and support to patients and their families.
- Guidelines and toolkits have been distributed to more than 45,000 hospitals and clinics.
- TB and MDR-TB messages have reached millions of people in high-risk populations through innovative public awareness campaigns.
- More than 350 journalists have been educated and trained to report on the disease in ways appropriate to their cultures.
- The Lilly MDR-TB Partnership’s work has been recognized at the highest level, and it has received international awards from the Clinton Initiative, the International Chamber of Commerce, the International Council of Nurses and the Global Business Coalition on Health.
About Multi-Drug Resistant Tuberculosis
TB is an airborne bacterium that can spread to any organ of the body, but most often is found in the lungs. Symptoms may include severe and prolonged coughing, fever, weight loss, chest pain and night sweats. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines MDR-TB as resistance to at least two first line anti-TB medicines. This type of TB often develops in patients who do not properly adhere to treatment for regular TB, have failed first-line treatment or contracted the disease unknowingly.
About the Lilly Foundation
The Lilly Foundation, which receives its funding from Eli Lilly and Company, was established in 1968 as a tax-exempt private foundation to support philanthropic initiatives in healthcare, education and community development. In the area of healthcare, the Lilly Foundation collaborates with global and local partners to find innovative solutions to complex healthcare challenges.

Brave New World depicts a utopian society of the future, one in which everyone is produced by cloning in a hatchery and forced into a caste system. British author Aldous Huxley (pictured) wrote it—after a vacation to America where he was terrified by American promiscuity, mass-produced consumer goods, sparkling teeth, and large portions at restaurants—as a counterpoint to the optimistic.

We know George Orwell’s 1984 and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, at least by reputation, and we’ve heard both references tossed around with alarming frequency this past year.Before these watershed dystopian novels, published over a decade apart (1949 and 1932, respectively), came an earlier book, one truly “most relevant to our time,” writes Michael Brendan Dougherty: Yevgeny.


Police Minister Bheki Cele apologized on Sunday after a police officer allegedly abused the Prophet Muhammad’s name.
A video of the incident was spread on social media after police arrested a group of worshipers on April 25 in the Masibekela area in Mbuzini, Mpumalanga.
One of the police members can be heard telling the worshipers that they think “Muhammad is bigger than the president”.
Police are investigating the incident, while Cele apologized to the Muslim community.
Cele says they are trying to establish the identity of the police officer who made the remark.

complaint with the state before the beginning of spring semester,
Jan. 22. He said the complaint would essentially accuse the
administration of not negotiating in good faith, in part, by
dragging out negotiations until after it reaches a new contract
with the teachers union.
"That's not the way it's supposed to work," Kovrig said, adding
that the district is treating classified employees this time around
as "the bottom of the food chain."
"They can't say, 'You get whatever's left,' " Kovrig said.
"There's this perception that because you're not in the classroom,
you're not important."
Deegan rejected Kovrig's assertion, saying the college is
negotiating in good faith and isn't using delaying tactics.
Kovrig said he's not convinced. He said that in the past, his
union has been among the first employee groups to settle on a
contract with the district.
While an "uneasy peace" has always marked labor talks, tensions
have been rising since John Tortarolo, vice president of human
resources, took over as the administration's lead negotiator two
years ago, Kovrig said, declining to go into further detail.
Tortarolo is on leave for six to eight weeks for unspecified
medical reasons and could not be reached for comment.
The major sticking point in the talks is salary increases,
according to Kovrig. The union is seeking a 4.53 percent
cost-of-living adjustment provided for by the state, he said.
Neither Kovrig nor Deegan would talk about how far apart the two
sides are on increases.
"We're not looking to bankrupt the district (and) we're not
looking to take their money," Kovrig said. "We just want (an
adjustment) that will keep our employees afloat in a rapidly

in 2006-07. Salaries for classified employees range from $28,574
for a custodian to $113,644 for a database administrator.
The union has also questioned the authority of Mark Vernoy,
Palomar's dean of social and behavioral sciences. Vernoy will

Kovrig said it's unclear whether Vernoy as an academic dean has
the same authority as a vice president to make decisions on behalf
of the district during negotiations.

URBANIZATION AND BIOLOGICAL DIVERSITY
Cities risk swallowing extensive wildlife habitat by 2030
New report projects area of habitat larger than New Zealand could be lost to urbanization over next 20 years
- Urbanization is a major driver of global habitat loss, responsible for 16% of all loss from 1992-2000. The Nature in the Urban Century analysis projects that this loss will continue if we do not change how cities are built
- Habitat loss could be particularly significant in temperate broadleaf forests and tropical moist forests, including areas in the United States, Nigeria, Brazil, and China
- But cities are not the enemy. When designed with nature, cities can be a solution, protecting wild habitat while providing additional benefits to urban residents.
An area of natural habitat larger than New Zealand or about the size of Italy could be swallowed by growing cities between now and 2030, according to projections released by an international team of scientists. Environmental non-profit The Nature Conservancy (TNC) led the assessment, alongside partners including the centre, Future Earth, ICLEI-Local Governments for Sustainability (ICLEI) and others.
Published ahead of November’s crucial United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP14) summit in Egypt, where policymakers will debate questions including what proportion of the planet should be set aside to support wildlife, the report – Nature in the Urban Century – draws parallels between unprecedented urban growth and increasing pressure on remaining habitat, farmland and even strictly protected areas like national parks. Analyzing metropolitan areas around the world, the study maps projected growth rates against proximity to protected areas.
Builds on groundbreaking assessment
The report is a follow-up from the Cities and Biodiversity Outlook report Pdf, 5 MB. which was launched in 2012. This was the first comprehensive global analysis of how urbanisation and urban growth impact biodiversity and ecosystem dynamics in terrestrial, freshwater and marine systems. The assessment was scientifically edited by centre researcher Thomas Elmqvist who is also co-author of the new report. This report, he says, goes deeper into understanding how we may manage the most rapidly urbanized regions in the world for the benefit of biodiversity, human well-being and sustainable development.
He also believes it puts puts biodiversity at the core of development.
"By focussing on areas with rapid urban growth and identifying both challenges and opportunities for protection and the sustainable use of biodiversity, "Nature in the Urban Century" brings together and connects global concerns about planetary and human health with equity and sustainable global urbanization."
Cities are not the enemy
The new report projects that 290,000 km2 of additional land – vital not only for wildlife but also agriculture and mitigating CO2 emissions – could be lost to urbanization by 2030. Equivalent to adding a new metropolis the size of London every seven weeks, this urban growth threatens to encroach within 50km of nearly half the planet’s strictly protected lands – precious sanctuaries including national parks, nature reserves, and wildlife refuges. Habitat loss could be particularly significant in temperate broadleaf forest and humid tropical forest, including regions of Brazil, China, Indonesia, and the United States.
We are living in an increasingly urban century, with at least 70% of humans likely to live in cities by 2050 – an additional 2.4 billion people
Dr. Rob McDonald, coordinating lead author and TNC’s lead scientist for global cities
McDonald warns that the current growth trends raise obvious questions not only in terms of wildlife biodiversity but also human health and wellbeing.
"We hope the publication of this report will provide an urgent rallying cry to factor these considerations into future land use policy. Cities themselves are not the problem – unsustainable planning very much is,” he says.
Coastal regions at risk
The report also highlights how unchecked urban development will also increasingly threaten nature’s potential to protect those 120 million people projected to be living in coastal regions particularly vulnerable to extreme weather events. By 2030, it is projected that urbanization could transform 144,000 km2 of coast – an area larger than Greece. Slowing the pace of urbanization in these critical areas could help protect communities from threats like flooding and storm surges, while also supporting coastal biodiversity.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers star running back Doug Martin has been suspended for violating the NFL's drug policy, and is entering a rehabilitation facility.
“I was notified last week of a four-game suspension for violating the league’s drug policy," Martin said in a statement provided by the team Wednesday afternoon. "My initial instinct was to appeal the suspension and finish the season with my teammates. However, after numerous discussions with people close to me - including Coach (Dirk) Koetter - I am starting the suspension immediately so I can enter a treatment facility and receive the help I truly need."
Martin was a no-show at Wednesday's practice, following Sunday's benching. He'll miss the next four games, including the first three in 2017, all without pay.
“On the field, I must be strong and determined to push through both pain and injuries to become an elite NFL running back," Martin said. "Off the field, I have tried that same approach in my personal life. My shortcomings in this area have taught me both that I cannot win these personal battles alone and that there is no shame in asking for help.
“I sincerely apologize to the Glazer family, General Manager Jason Licht and the entire Tampa Bay organization, my teammates and our tremendous fans. This was not the season I envisioned and I have let everyone down, including myself. However, adversity yields opportunity and I ask for your support in my battle to overcome these personal issues.”
On Monday, Koetter defended his decision to bench Martin.
"I'll stand by the defense," Koetter said. "...I made the decision that I felt Jacquizz (Rodgers) would give us a better opportunity last week. Quizz did a good job when he was in there. People can say whatever they want about what Doug would have been. We don't know. He wasn't in there. I'm not trying to confuse anybody. That's not my intent. I'm trying to put the Bucs in the best position to win games."
Martin, who finished second in the NFL in rushing last season, was held out of Sunday's pivotal game against the New Orleans Saints for an undisclosed reason. He'll be inactive for Sunday's season finale against the Carolina Panthers.
"I'm behind him. Doug's a great player," teammate Mike Evans said Wednesday in the locker room. "I don't know what he did, but I'm sure he'll come back and have a strong year next year."
In March, Martin signed a five-year, $35 million extension with Tampa Bay, $15 million of which is guaranteed.
Limited with a hamstring injury suffered in the second week of the season, Martin has averaged just 2.9 yards per carry this season.

SEOUL, South Korea — Kim Seong Ryeol says he was aged 10 when he witnessed his first public execution.
He recalls it being a monthly event in his North Korean hometown, with police gathering crowds near a local market where they would shoot or hang people accused of criticizing the regime.
More than two decades later, Kim finds himself in a different world — sitting in a futuristic, glass-clad skyscraper in the heart of Seoul, the capital of neighboring South Korea.
He is one of around 30,000 North Koreans who have escaped their totalitarian regime by fleeing south.
As a boy he used to dream of killing American soldiers, but no more. The 32-year-old was recently awarded a Fulbright scholarship to do a Ph.D. in the U.S. He's also become a Christian, a religion he knew next to nothing about before leaving his homeland.
But his new life hasn't been quite what he hoped for.
Kim is one of many defectors who say that since crossing the border they have faced painful discrimination from South Koreans.
"When I was little, every book, every curriculum, they always mentioned that America is the enemy"
"The first time I arrived at the airport, I thought, 'It's heaven,'" Kim says, looking out over Seoul's hazy, high-rise skyline from the 17th-floor cafe where he met NBC News this week. "But the reality of life in Seoul wasn't really that easy … I was depressed and disappointed. There are so many barriers that you have to overcome."
North and South Korea technically remain at war. They both would like to see the peninsula reunified, albeit with drastically different ideas about what the end result should look like.
South Korea gives defectors like Kim special treatment when they arrive. They are taken to a screening center to make their claims are legitimate and not a security risk, before being given automatic South Korean citizenship.
Next they are taken to a state re-education center called Hanawon, or "House of Unity." There they are given a 12-week course covering South Korean life, laws, culture — as well as lessons in democracy and capitalism.
Kim went through the process when he came here with his mom and sister in 2004. He was aged 19.
It took him a while to realize that Seoul was not "one of the poorest places in the world," as he had been taught.
"It really confused everything to find out that South Korea is actually a highly developed society," he says. "Even simple things like the subway or bank accounts ... I had to study it closely and pay attention to everything."
In March, a study by the National Human Rights Commission of Korea found 45 percent of North Korean defectors have faced discrimination since coming here, according to South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper.
Kim's first experience of this was at school.
"My classmates in South Korea didn't want to include me in teamwork projects because they thought I really lacked understanding of technology, how to write, and the knowledge of classics and history," he says. "North Korea's education is not modernized and many things are based around propaganda to make sure people worship the Kim family."
He said this made him angry, but added: "It actually motivated me to go further and try to become more like what South Koreans expected."
When it came to finding a job, his resume would be accepted time and again, but he claims that when it came to the interview stage employees would reject him when they learned he was North Korean.
"Seventy companies I applied to, all rejected. Seven-zero, all at the interview level," he says. "You have interviewers saying, 'Explain about your high school and middle-school life,' but we don't have that kind of experience in North Korea. So you have to say, 'I come from North Korea and I want to contribute to your company.' At that level, interviewers are very confused."
Kim has been left frustrated and disappointed by his treatment in South Korea but it would be inaccurate to say his time in the country has been all bad.
In 2015, after completing his undergraduate studies, he won a scholarship from the Open Society Foundation, a New York-based grant-making organization, to do a master's degree in unification studies at a South Korean university.
And he has gone from hating the U.S. to actually going there in person.
"When I was little, every book, every curriculum, they always mentioned that America is the enemy," he says. "When I was little I dreamed about fighting Americans."
But in 2009, he attended a school run by Youth With a Mission, a Texas-based Christian missionary organization.
"It broadened my perspective, when I met my American friends, and made me think differently, to see that the world is global," he says.
His affinity with the U.S. hasn't stopped there. In August he was awarded a Fulbright scholarship to study a Ph.D. in the U.S. starting next year.
"I haven't chosen a university but I would like to go to the University of Pennsylvania or Columbia University," he says. "But these are really good schools, these are in the Ivy League, and I have to meet the requirements of these schools."
His love for the U.S. doesn't extend to Donald Trump, however, especially after the president threatened during a speech last month to "totally destroy" North Korea.
"It makes me angry when he says that," Kim says, his polite voice raising. "There are many, many ways to approach North Korean problems. Why only say, 'Destroy'? I mean, there's a lot of options you can choose."
Kim says he wants Trump — and the American public in general — to see beyond the North Korean regime and realize most of the country's 25 million people are blameless civilians. Any war on the Korean peninsula would almost certainly mean a huge loss of life on both sides of the border, and plenty of Kim's friends and relatives are still stuck inside the North.
"The people, they're really kind and just... normal," he says. "They try every day to only focus on their life. That's all."

A copper-catalyzed hydroalkylation of terminal alkynes using alkyl triflates as coupling partners and (Me2HSi)2O as a hydride donor proceeds with excellent anti-Markovnikov regioselectivity and provides exclusively (E)-alkenes. Both alkyl- and aryl-substituted alkynes can be used as substrates, together with 1° alkyl and benzylic triflates. Finally, the transformation can be accomplished in the presence of a wide range of functional groups.

End Citizen United is a advocacy group who want people of America to be put first. They will support political candidates who support the groups message about people first. End Citizens United has decided that they will be putting their support behind Randy Bryce for Congress. Randy Bryce will be going up against Paul Ryan in the Congress race and by having ECU’s support Paul Ryan’s campaign is starting to worried about the race.
ECU believes that the race in Wisconsin will be a very important one and will be one of the most closely watched around the country. Randy Bryce has made a name for himself based off of standing up for the people in his state, as well as going against the way things are being run in Washington today. He has spoken out about the disconnect between Washington and the common American. Bryce wants to reach out and get to know those that live in his state. And to earn money for his campaign trail, he believes in hard work. This is how he is planning to get most of the money for what he needs.
Read more on huffingtonpost.com
Right now Bryce averages about $25 in individual donations to his campaign. People in his state see him as a productive and a very positive leader they want to lead them. Bryce has said that he will work to bring jobs into Wisconsin, as well as supporting a finance reform. When looking at Paul Ryan he is the complete opposite as Bryce. Ryan does not want a finance reform or want to bring jobs in the state. He also has many multi-million companies supporting his and donating to his campaign. He also does not connect and relate with the common American that well. According to alreporter.com ECU is hoping for a big political change with Bryce being elected into office.
End Citizens United is one of the more well known organizations in the US that support a finance reform. They hope that eventually people will not be bought out to vote before elections happen, no matter what their views are. They have been pushing for this for the past seven years. They support independent and democratic candidates, ranging from the states of Maine all the way to California. End Citizens United is on all social platforms and can be viewed, supported, commented and retweeted by all.

Dog Walkers ‘Find Joy’ With Furry Pets Amid Lockdown Blues

Knowledge Nyamutowera came to Cape Town from Zimbabwe almost three years ago. He has been walking dogs at Paw Pets in Sea Point for over a year and a half now.
“I’m just doing this for a living,” he says.
Nyamutowera works from 8am to 5pm on weekdays and two Saturdays a month from 9:30am – 2pm. Nyamutowera said that he and his older brother are supporting their parents and two sisters who live in Delft.
On any given day, he said, he walks about 25 dogs. He likes his job because he gets to interact with people from different walks of life … and dogs, he joked.
At Paw Pets, dog owners have the option to either drop their pets off for the day or staff can arrange to pick them up from their homes.
Dog walkers ‘find joy in life’ and ‘staying motivated’
Another dog walker, Pam Buttner, has been volunteering twice a week since July. She says it has been a struggle “finding joy in life” and “staying motivated” during the pandemic. But says she found joy spending time with the furry companions.
Buttner lives with her partner in Three Anchor Bay who works in the film industry which was also brought to a halt during the hard lockdown last year. The couple live in a flat where no pets are allowed, so she decided to volunteer her time.
Walking three dogs on a leash along the Sea Point Promenade, Buttner says, “I go play with dogs in a doggy day care twice a week to bring me joy.”
Buttner says it has helped her cope and gave some structure to her days.
She said that since the start of the lockdown, she has found that many dogs have become aggressive. “They sometimes pick up on the anxiety of the owners,” she said. To assist with this, the dog handlers often include basic obedience training in their sessions.
Both Buttner and Nyamutower can regularly be found walking, leashes in hand with a bunch of dogs on the Sea Point promenade.

Nato troops and their Afghan colleagues involved in Operation Moshtarak have suffered another blow after three more civilians were killed in the campaign against the Taliban.
The deaths – in three separate incidents – come after two US missiles struck a house on the outskirts of the town of Marjah on Sunday, killing 12 people, half of them children. Three others killed in the house were identified as Taliban fighters by local authorities.
About 15,000 Afghan troops and Nato troops – including British soldiers 9 are taking part in the massive offensive around Marjah.
The offensive is the biggest joint operation since US troops arrived in Afghanistan in 2001.

· Distribution of a symmetric key starts when a user generates a secret key and provides a copy of it to the entity they want to communicate with.
· Keys are like a password. While they work on a small scale, if every communicating pair of users needs to have their own unique secret key, the number of keys rises dramatically with the number of users: For example, if there are 10 users it means 45 separate keys are required. However, 100 users will need 4,950 separate keys, and 1,000 users require 499,500 keys. This approach doesn't scale well.
· A more common approach is using an asymmetric cipher to encrypt the symmetric key. For example, if Alice needs to give Bob her secret key, she obtains Bob's public key and uses that to encrypt the symmetric secret key. When Bob receives the encrypted secret key, he uses his own private key to decrypt it. This is how TLS and S/MIME protocols exchange keys between two communicating endpoints.
· Public keys can also be distributed using a public key infrastructure. In many cases, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), servers can be used to distribute public keys, although these are typically in the form of digital certificates. This method allows senders to look up the recipient's digital certificate in the directory.

The North American potato market will be tight on supply until the new crop rolls in.
With spuds in the ground across North America and attention turning to the crop that will shortly be hauled off fields, there’s concern about there being enough potatoes until then.
“The supply of raw potatoes is going to be very, very tight for the processors. All of the major companies in North America have been metering out their existing raw product to make it to the new crop because they don’t want to have any major shutdowns,” Dale Lathim, executive director of the Potato Growers of Washington, Inc., explains in a phone interview.
Lathim points to the previous year as a case study in why the processors are being so cautious this year. Last year processors were aggressive to fill their plants as new crop started coming online. Instead of waiting for the potatoes to bulk up, processors pushed growers to harvest their spuds early, which is partly to blame for the current supply tightness.
“This year we’re going to take a much slower start to the crop. And so, the original plan had the pipeline not been empty and these types of play situations, (Columbia Basin growers) would have started harvest here around the end of June to the first of July — now it’s going to be like the middle of July,” Lathim adds.
In Canada, Victoria Stamper, general manager of the United Potato Growers of Canada, says many shippers are focusing on supplying their local demand with less attention being paid to exporting to the United States.
“Most of the provinces are feeling pretty good about transition, nobody’s really going to go long. Quebec is getting tight. Manitoba is focused more now on their own market, rather than export to the U.S. So, people are managing the crop well to get through transition,” she explains.
While no official acreage numbers have been released yet, discussion at the Crop Transition Conference in Bloomington, Minn. on June 16 had many in the North American potato industry indicating acres will be status quo overall, with some increases being seen in regions where expansion has been possible.
“In Canada, we have to push to fill the expansion. You’re going to see in Alberta where there’s some availability, but in Manitoba, where we would expect to see some as well, they just don’t have the availability. There are barriers there to expansion,” Stamper says.
In the Columbia Basin, acreage is expected to rise, with Lathim saying there has been 6,000 more acres contracted than last year. He notes this is to fill expansion in the local processing industry, as there has been plenty of “quiet expansions” happening.
“As an industry we’ve been a little bit slow. We never want to have overcapacity. And so, we’ve been very disciplined in how we’ve been adding (more processing capacity). But if you go back and you average it since 2015, we’ve averaged right around 200 to 250 million pounds of new capacity each year,” Lathim says.
While there have been some flex acres planted in Idaho this year, there was also a processor who went directly to growers to negotiate contracts. This was a rare instance and has left some in the industry with a bad taste in their mouth.
“There was one segment that one of the companies was not able to get as much coverage as what they had wanted in that that portion of the state. So, they did go back and offer a signing bonus to their existing growers — those who had both signed and not signed,” Lathim explains. “To the best of my knowledge, all the growers in that region did sign.”
Lathim added the industry is hoping it doesn’t become a regular occurrence as growers not in the region weren’t included in the signing bonus which has left some with hard feelings over it.

Records for Aug. 13
This is the records summary for Aug. 13.
KANDIYOHI — At least one person was injured in an accident that happened around 8 a.m. Monday on Kandiyohi County Road 8 and 37th Avenue Southeast south of Kandiyohi.
According to a preliminary accident report, a vehicle was in the process of passing another vehicle that was pulling a trailer and making a left-hand turn.
The passing vehicle clipped the back of the trailer, with one of the vehicles ending up in a cornfield.
The driver of the passing vehicle was taken to Rice Memorial Hospital in Willmar with minor injuries.
The names of those involved were not available Monday.
WILLMAR — A wrong-way driver Sunday afternoon on U.S. Highway 71 caused two vehicles to collide before the driver turned around in the emergency roadway and sped away without stopping.
According to police, the accident happened around 4 p.m. Sunday when a vehicle was going south in the northbound lane of Highway 71 near the intersection of 23rd Street Northeast by Willmar.
The wrong-way vehicle was headed toward a tow-truck pulling a flatbed.
To avoid a head-on collision, the driver of the tow-truck, Thomas Fickett from Eden Valley, moved into the other lane.
In the process the tow truck collided with the rear corner of a 2004 Mazda Tribute, driven by Romualda Lopez of Waite Park.
The wrong-way driver used an emergency road crossing to move into the southbound lane and continued going south without stopping.
There was minor damage to the other two vehicles and there were no injuries reported.
WILLMAR — An individual told police a bullet ricocheted over his head around 4:20 p.m. Sunday while sitting outside on the deck in the 5400 block of 37th Street Northeast. The caller told police the bullet may have come from a nearby gun club.
WILLMAR — Willmar police took a report Monday morning of an assault the night before at Rice Memorial Hospital that resulted in a staff member suffering a broken ankle while on the job.
WILLMAR — The padlock from a payment drop-box was broken and the contents stolen from a business in the 4500 block of Highway 71 Northeast. The theft was reported on Monday morning.
WILLMAR — A wallet was reported stolen early Sunday morning from a home in the 500 block of Third Street Southeast. A male suspect was identified.
WILLMAR — A 27-year-old woman was arrested Monday morning in the 2900 block of 45th Avenue Southeast on an unspecified drug charge after an anonymous tip was called to a local business.
According to the preliminary police report, the Family Eye Center said they got a call at around 10:40 a.m. Monday from an individual who whispered “call the cops” and provided an address where an individual was later arrested.
WILLMAR — A new home that is under construction near Spicer was reportedly sprayed with ketchup over the weekend.
According to the report that was filed Sunday afternoon with the Kandiyohi County Sheriff’s Office, ketchup was sprayed on the garage floor, gravel driveway and in the portable toilet, which was also tipped.
The incident was reported in the 4000 block of 104th Avenue Northeast.
n Christopher Michael Mead, 24, of Willmar, pleaded guilty Monday to felony assault charges for assaulting a woman at her Willmar apartment in June.
He will be sentenced Sept. 18.
According to the complaint, the woman said that she heard a knock on her door and saw two men through the security peephole. But when she opened the door, Mead, whom she did not see through the peephole, came running at her. He shoved his foot in the door and caused the door to hit her in the face. The woman said Mead grabbed her by the arms, demanded that she give him a sweatshirt back and then dragged her into the hallway and threw her to the floor when she said she didn’t have the sweatshirt.
Mead has prior juvenile adjudications for terroristic threats and felony assault, plus adult convictions for domestic assault and felony violation of an order for protection.
n Shane Allen Peterson, 27, of Willmar, pleaded guilty Monday to an amended felony charge of second-degree burglary for breaking into a rural Spicer home in June and stealing a computer and archery equipment with a total value of $2,550.
Two other people, William Michael Peterson, 43, and Dawn Jean Meyer, 39, both of Kerkhoven, were also charged in connection with the incident.
According to the complaint, a female resident at the home woke to find a man, later identified as Shane Peterson, in the basement. The woman reported that the man ran up the stairs and outside, where he got into a silver Buick that sped away toward U.S. Highway 71.
The woman said she had heard the front door of the house slamming repeatedly and the dog barking continuously before she saw the man in the house.
A deputy stopped the car along County Road 5 in Willmar.
The female was brought to the scene and identified Shane Peterson as the man who was in her home.
Meyer and William Peterson told deputies that Shane Peterson told them that a person at the home owed him a drug debt, that he gave directions to get to the residence and then knocked and entered the home.
Meyer said she assumed someone let him into the home, but she did not see anyone at the door. She said he later came out of the house walking fast and said “let’s go” with something in his hand. William Peterson confirmed that they had been at the residence.
The stolen items were recovered when deputies searched the vehicle.
Sentencing for Peterson is set for Sept. 24.

New urban developments can easily be identified by their glassy exteriors and cold utilitarian spaces. However, gains in practical functionality of space can often be to the detriment of play and spontaneity.
By Ekaterina Tikhoniouk
When we think of play, we tend to think of children. Play is ‘an activity engaged in for enjoyment, especially by children.’ It is described as ‘child-directed’ or ‘a mode of expression common to all children.’ Even our everyday language – filled with phrases such as ‘kidding around’ and ‘childish games’ – betrays our inclination to limit play to the realm of the child. And while play is indeed an integral part of a child’s development, the cultural historian Johan Huizinga believed that ‘play is ever-present in mankind’, in both adults and children, and that culture and play are intertwined. Thus, it can be argued that we never stop playing and that adult play just takes a different form. When we grow up, we continue to engage in play in the form of sports, hobbies, practical jokes or just ‘having the craic’.
Yet this innate human need for play and playfulness is not always reflected in the design of our streets, buildings and housing estates. According to George Monbiot, ‘Children are being airbrushed from our towns and cities,’ and children’s play is no longer welcome in what is increasingly seen as adult territory.
But it seems that play is often unwelcome in the adult realm too. While children’s spaces tend to sport bright colours or playful furniture, the spaces and places built for adults tend to be demure, sleek and minimal, and often devoid of playfulness or colour.
While adding a wall of contrasting colours can be extreme, the addition of an accent or splash of colour can potentially make a difference to the perceived friendliness and atmosphere of a space.
Creating playful space is also about adding spontaneity, or creating something that is unexpected or out of the ordinary. One example is the Urban Lounge in the centre of St. Gallen in Switzerland, which covered the streets of an entire office quarter with a bright red rubber surface which rises up to form benches or planters, even giving the illusion of covering a car.
Other projects exhibit such playfulness too. During Dublin’s Parking Day in 2012, an impromptu jazz club popped up in a parking space, while other parking spaces hosted cafes, gardens, yoga classes and games of Twister.
Dublin’s Parking Day 2012
But creating playful space is not just about adding colour or whimsical furniture pieces or installations. Playful space is also space that allows people to meet and socialise, space that encourages incidental social interaction and playfulness between neighbours, or between random strangers in the street.
In the words of George Bernard Shaw: “We don’t stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing”. Play is ever-present in man, and thus it is important to encourage play and playfulness in the urban realm, both for children and adults.

ok i have a set of components installed. they are infinity kappas.
if i measure the impedance of the tweeter by itself it reads 2.3 ohms. the 6.5 by itself also measures 2.3 ohm.
when i have everything wired up and i measure the impedances at the crossover, the input to the crossover reads 2.3 ohms, the 6.5 output also reads 2.3 ohms at the crossover, BUT when i go to measure the tweeter output the dmm reads like .5 ohms. is it damaged?
i think i remember measuring everything before i installed everything and both tweeter output and 6.5 outputs and crossover input measured 2.3 ohms but im not sure.
could someone check they're impedences at the crossover for me?

A lobbying firm linked to Hunter Biden as well as the Ukrainian gas company Burisma “pitched” access to the Hillary Clinton campaign to a former Ukrainian prosecutor, according to a new report.
Fox News on Friday reported it had obtained emails between former Obama State Department officials revealing the actions.
The report explained, “Former Ukrainian prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko told former Obama State Department official George Kent he had been ‘pitched’ by a Hunter Biden and Burisma-linked lobbying firm to give him ‘access’ to ‘high levels’ of the Clinton campaign in the weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election.”
Blue Star Strategies, the company cited, now reportedly is under federal investigation for potential illegal lobbying, according to the report. It allegedly comes as Department of Justice is working to defeat the influence foreign governments try to exert over American politics and elections.
“The probe into Blue Star … puts firms and operatives connected to the Democratic Party under the microscope,” the report.
Fox reported that an email released to Citizens United as part of a Freedom of Information Act filing shows former deputy assistant secretary of state for Europe and Eastern Europe George Kent wrote to a number of Obama administration officials about a meeting he had with Ukrainian prosecutor Yuriy Lutsenko in September 2016 about Blue Star Strategies.
The subject line was “Lutsenko now likely not to go to DC with Blue Star, other Ukr issue comments” and it was dispatched to the former assistant secretary for fossil energy Christopher Smith, former U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch and Alan Purcell, the chief political officer at the Kiev embassy from 2014 to 2017, the report said.
Kent explained he met Lutsenko “one on one after I’d SMSed him regarding stories that he was using a third party lobbyist to pull together a planned trip to DC turned into a chat over Thai food at the DCR.”
Fox said, “Kent, a key witness in the first impeachment proceedings against former President Trump in 2019, said the two discussed options of a trip Lutsenko had been planning to the U.S., and ‘confirmed he has been pitched by Blue Star, not sought them out.'”
“He said he honestly didn’t know how Blue Star was to get paid — he didn’t have funds — and that some BPP MP that we probably didn’t know ‘and that’s good’ (Truhubenko??) had introduced them to him,” Kent said in the email.
Fox noted it was unclear who is “Truhubenko.”
But Kent wrote, “Blue Star CEO [Karen] Tramantano’s pitch was that she could gain him access to high levels of the Clinton campaign (GPK note: she was Podesta’s deputy as deputy COS the last year of Bill Clinton’s tenure), and that was appealing—to meet the possible next Presidential Chief of Staff.”
While Kent noted meetings were unlikely to develop only weeks before an election, he also commented on the link with Blue Star, which had represented Burisma, which was paying Hunter Biden tens of thousands of dollars a week to be on its board.
“Hunter Biden joined Burisma in 2014, and, at the time, reportedly connected Burisma with Blue Star to help the firm fight corruption charges. The founder of Burisma, Mykola Zlochevsky, the former minister of ecologies, had been under investigation in Ukraine,” the report said.
President Trump in 2019 was targeted by the first of two failed impeach-and-remove attempts by Democrats over Burisma Holdings. He had asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a phone call to look into the Biden family’s dealings in Ukraine.
Kent was a key witness during those proceedings. He explained he raised concerns with Biden’s office in 2015 that Hunter Biden’s role on the board of Burisma could present “the possibility of the perception of a conflict of interest.”
Hunter Biden’s scandals have plagued Joe Biden as candidate, and now as president.
While Joe Biden was campaigning for president and scandals involving his son, Hunter, kept surfacing, he assured Americans, “I have never discussed with my son or my brother or anyone else anything having to do with their businesses. Period.”
That’s despite a recent investigation by the Daily Wire that revealed Hunter Biden had his fingers in business pies in Saudi Arabia, Ivory Coast, Oman, Qatar, Taiwan, Zimbabwe, Greece and Mexico, in addition to his highly publicized business dealings in China and Ukraine while is father was vice president.
Further, Breitbart has reported he took 411 trips across 29 countries during the years his father was vice president, including 23 flights in or out of Joint Base Andrews, where Air Force Two is stationed.
Now the New York Post confirms that Joe Biden actually met with Ukrainian, Russian and Kazakhstani business associates of his son’s “at a dinner in Washington, D.C., while he was vice president.”
The report reveals that confirmation is from records on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop.
The report said the dinner was April 16, 2015, at the private “Garden Room” at Café Milano in Georgetown.
The day after, Vadym Pozharskyi, an executive of the Ukrainian energy company Burisma, sent Hunter Biden a noting thanking him for introducing him to his father, the Post documented.
“Dear Hunter, thank you for inviting me to DC and giving an opportunity to meet your father and spent [sic] some time together,” Pozharskyi wrote. “It’s realty [sic] an honor and pleasure.”
Burisma was, at the time, paying Hunter Biden $83,333 a month to be on its board, even though he lacked experience in the energy industry. But he did have a father who was vice president, and in charge of Ukraine policy for the Barack Obama administration.
In fact, Joe Biden openly boasted of threatening to withhold $1 billion in U.S. aid if Ukraine’s president did not fire the country’s top prosecutor, Victor Shokin, who at the time was investigating Burisma for corruption.
A French website reported Shokin later filed a criminal complaint naming Joe Biden and accusing him of committing a “criminal offense” in his campaign to get Shokin fired.
The Post’s report said Hunter Biden assembled the guest list for the special dinner to include Russian billionaire Yelena Baturina and her husband, corrupt former Moscow mayor Yury Luzhkov, who since has died.
It was Baturina who sent $3.5 million on Feb. 14, 2014, to Rosemont Seneca Thornton LLC, one of Hunter Biden’s business entities.
Hunter Biden had confirmed to guests before the dinner the vice president would be there.
In a message to Michael Karloutsos, whose father then was head of the Greek Orthodox Church, Hunter Biden said, “Ok – the reason for the dinner is ostensibly to discuss food security. Dad will be there but keep that between us for now. Thanks.”
The Post reported, “The dinner raises questions about how much Joe Biden, who has claimed ignorance of his son’s activities, knew about Hunter’s dealings with foreign businesses and government officials.”

Our manuscript 'Homeoviscous adaptation and the regulation of membrane lipids' got accepted by the Journal of Molecular Biology (JMB) for a special issue to honor Sir John Kendrew, the founder of JMB. Our paper is a product of an inspiring collaboration with Bruno Antonny (Université Nice Sophia Antipolis and CNRS) and our friend Christer Ejsing (University of Southern Denmark).
***BREAKING NEWS ***
Our manuscript 'A eukaryotic sensor for membrane lipid saturation' has now appeared in Molecular Cell.
The article is a product of a wonderful cooperation with the Gerhard Hummer group and uncovers a central molecular mechanism of the homeoviscous response in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is covered by the UniReport.
Molecular Membrane Biology - Sensing and Signaling
Biological membranes are composed of thousands of interacting proteins and lipids. In fact, membrane proteins and lipids have co-evolved since the origin of life. Owing to their complex composition, biological membranes are extremely challenging to study. Our central interest is the crosstalk of lipids and proteins for the homeostasis of biological membranes. Which molecular events are underlying lipid induced cellular stress responses? Do, for example, lipids modulate general protein degradation? To address such questions appropriately, the lab follows a strictly interdisciplinary approach, combining biochemistry, biophysics and cell biology.
Saturated and unsaturated fatty acids have gained a celebrity status and are referred to as ‘bad’ and ‘good’ fats. It is well established that a continuous misbalance of these dietary fats induces massive cellular stress responses that can ultimately result in cell death. Until now, the molecular events underlying these phenomena are not understood. With quantitative lipidomics coming of age, membrane biochemistry is gaining a new focus. Now is the time to address fundamental questions regarding membrane complexity and function.
