Lately, I’ve seen some changes at the two Starbucks that live less than a block away from the Mother Jones office. Last month, they both started pushing a new blend called “Pike Place Roast” as their regular drip coffee, as part of a campaign to compete with brisk coffee sales at Dunkin’ Donuts and McDonald’s. As part of the campaign, Starbucks re-introduced its 1971 brown-and-white logo featuring a two-tailed mermaid. Okay, technically it’s a siren, but regardless, the image of a female figure brazenly spreading its tails has made a few Christians vow to boycott the company.
“The Starbucks logo has a naked woman on it with her legs spread like a prostitute,” explains alarmist Mark Dice, of a Christian group called The Resistance. “Need I say more? It’s extremely poor taste, and the company might as well call themselves Slutbucks.”
While I’m curious what the value of a Slutbuck is relative to a Schrutebuck, I’m worried that Dice doesn’t seem to understand the Starbucks siren is half-fish. She doesn’t have legs to spread, much less a vagina to go between them. The fact that Dice doesn’t get the difference between a fin and a foot may be an example of what abstinence-only funding does to education, but it’s certainly not the first time spunky Christians have boycotted the multinational company.
Just last summer, a group of Christian ladies boycotted Frappuccinos because there was a homosexual-agenda-pushing Armistead Maupin quote on some of the cups. Others have boycotted the company because of anti-God quotes.
All I can say is that if Starbucks goes down, it won’t be because of a handful of Christian boycotters. And it won’t be because a friend of a CATO Institute vice-president couldn’t buy a customized “Laissez Faire” gift card, either. As the WSJ tells it, a Starbucks slump will be due to oversaturation and a faltering economy that makes $4 lattes seem like less of a necessity. Whether that’s an act of God or not is for you to decide.

The ripple-effects of this week’s violence in Delhi were felt in West Bengal as actor-turned-politician Subhadra Mukherjee, who has worked in several movies and telly soaps, resigned from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
“I joined the BJP in 2013 as I was impressed with the party’s way of functioning. But in recent years, I have noticed that things are not going the right way. I felt that a sense of hatred and judging people by their religion is taking over the ideology of BJP. After giving several thoughts, I have decided to quit,” Mukherjee was quoted as saying in a news report.
The former actress has reportedly sent her resignation letter to the state unit president Dilip Ghosh, adding that she would “personally go and submit her resignation” if the need arises.
Blaming the incidents of this week in the National Capital behind her decision to quit, Mukherjee questioned the inaction against BJP leader Kapil Mishra and union minister Anurag Thakur for the “hate speech.”
“Look what happened in Delhi. So many people were killed and so many houses were set on fire. The riot has divided the people. No one is taking any action against party leaders like Anurag Thakur and Kapil Mishra for hate speech. What is going on? The visuals of the riot have shaken me completely. I thought I should not be in a party which is selective in taking action against its own party leaders,” the actress was further quoted as saying, adding that she wouldn’t want to be in the same party “that has people like Thakur and Mishra.”

Bisphenol A Cyanate Ester improves thermosetting resin performance, especially in aerospace and high-temperature applications. Misconceptions regarding its toxicity cloud its safe handling and usage, despite its widespread use and advantages. Dakenchem blog entry dispels three Bisphenol A Cyanate Ester toxicity misconceptions by explaining its chemical structure, curing procedures, and thermal stability. Understanding how this substance affects high-performance thermoset applications and its toxic effects might help us assess its safety. We’ll illuminate Bisphenol A Cyanate Ester’s real nature by analysing its primary usage and breakthrough proteomics research applications, ensuring informed and secure use across industries.
Understanding BCA Cyanate Ester
Bisphenol A cyanate ester is an important polymer chemistry component that improves composites’ thermal and mechanical properties, which are crucial in aerospace engineering. Its structural stability and tolerance to harsh conditions make it perfect for exploring protein interactions in extreme environments in proteomics research. Bisphenol A and cyanic acid combine to generate bisphenol A cyanate ester, a polymerizable monomer that can form strongly cross-linked thermoset polymers. Their particular chemical structure makes these polymers thermally stable and chemically resistant.
Bisphenol A cyanate ester is ideal for aerospace applications that need high temperatures and mechanical stress. Aerospace grade cyanate ester composites perform well due to their low dielectric constant, high glass transition temperature, and low moisture absorption. Bisphenol A cyanate ester is also used to build aircraft and spacecraft because its resin qualities make aerospace components durable and long-lasting. Understanding these features emphasises bisphenol A cyanate ester’s role in current technological advances and its potential for high-performance material breakthroughs.
Debunking Toxicity Myths
Busting bisphenol toxicity myths Safe handling and application of cyanate ester is essential, especially in sectors that rely on its distinctive qualities.
Myth 1: Bisphenol A cyanate ester is often misunderstood as more hazardous than other industrial chemicals. When compared to cyanides, which are very poisonous, cyanate esters, particularly bisphenol A cyanate ester, are much less harmful. Unlike cyanides, which block cellular respiration and cause acute toxicity, cyanate esters are safer for industrial application.
Myth 2: Bisphenol derivatives, including bisphenol A cyanate ester, are all hazardous. For instance, bisphenol A cyanate ester and bisphenol f dicyanates must be distinguished. Both are used to make polymers, although their chemical and toxicological properties differ. Bisphenol A cyanate ester is designed for great performance and safety in aerospace applications, where it is vital, and has fewer health hazards than other bisphenol derivatives under controlled settings.
Myth 3: Cyanate ester thermosets’ curing process releases hazardous byproducts. These thermosets cure by controlled chemical reactions that harden the resin. This procedure is carefully developed to reduce VOCs and other byproducts. Technology in resin composition and curing ensure that the process is efficient and meets environmental and health safety regulations. Understanding the cyanate ester curing process and following safety precautions will reduce by-product problems and ensure the safe use of these materials in high-performance applications.
Addressing these fallacies with facts will help the industry handle bisphenol A cyanate ester safely and effectively.
Safe Bisphenol A Cyanate Ester Handling and Use
Bisphenol A cyanate ester advantages are maximised in high-performance thermoset applications by safe handling and use. Liquid cyanate ester monomers polymerize into thermally stable and mechanically strong networks, making them important in these situations. They are useful for aerospace applications where materials must withstand harsh conditions without degrading.
Bisphenol A cyanate ester must be stored, handled with protective gear, and ventilated throughout processing to guarantee safety. These techniques reduce exposure health concerns and make the workplace safer.
In sectors that require materials that can tolerate high temperatures without losing integrity, bisphenol A cyanate ester, especially when augmented with an ester, is used due to its thermal stability. Thermal stability increases the material’s lifetime safety and range of uses, making it valuable for high-performance thermosetting resins.
Industries can maximise bisphenol A cyanate ester’s safety and product performance by understanding and adopting these features.
Major Products and Uses
Bisphenol A cyanate ester and its derivatives, especially bisphenol f dicyanates, are essential components in high-performance thermosetting resins with excellent heat stability and mechanical qualities. These materials are vital in many industries, especially aerospace, where extreme-condition materials are essential. Aerospace grade cyanate ester resins are essential for aircraft and spacecraft component production due to their minimal outgassing, high strength-to-weight ratio, and temperature and chemical tolerance.
Bisphenol A cyanate ester’s stability and resistance to harsh chemical environments allow proteomics researchers to study protein structures and interactions under difficult conditions, revealing biological processes and potential therapeutic targets.
Cyanate esters are formed by a process that gives the polymers a high cross-link density. This structural feature makes cured resins thermally stable and durable, allowing them to be used in automobile, electronics, and coatings as well as aerospace.
Electronic device printed circuit boards (PCBs) are one use. Cyanate ester resin properties, such as reduced dielectric constant and loss, improve signal integrity in high-frequency electronic applications, which are essential to today’s advanced electronics.
The curing method of cyanate ester thermosets, which turns liquid monomers into solid thermoset polymers, is designed to maximise physical qualities while minimising VOC health hazards. To protect workers and the environment, appropriate handling methods and safety measures are crucial.
These diverse applications show bisphenol A cyanate ester and its related compounds’ versatility and importance in material science and technology, meeting the strict requirements of high-performance applications across multiple industries.

LOOK: SKRILLEX Gets Handcuffed For Playing Music Too Loud
Music producer, DJ, and From First To Last vocalist Sonny Moore (better known as Skrillex) got pulled over by the police in Hollywood recently. The reason? He’s playing music too loud in the car.
The artist got handcuffed by the Los Angeles Police Department as well since he did not have an ID with him during the time. In a series of tweets, he explained himself saying that the reason why he was playing music too loud was because the demos he was working on were fire. He got too excited perhaps?
And according to him, he didn’t get arrested - just cuffed.
Just to be clear , I got pulled over for playing my music too loud ... but handcuffed because I didn't have my ID on me ¯\_(?)_/¯— SKRILLEX (@Skrillex) April 20, 2017
Oh well, what a weird reminder to those who like to play music loud in cars.
What's your reaction to this news? Leave a comment below!


The lights are low in the small, whitewashed performance hall. Four men play quick, dramatic music on their guitars as five or six dancers take turns on the stage. The women wear red polka-dotted dresses flared at the calf, and the men wear black pants and frilled shirts. They lift their arms above their heads, clapping and stomping their feet to the beat. The younger dancers are quicker, more powerful, but the older performers carry the undeniable weight of experience. At one point, a middle-aged man comes to center stage, singing a heartbreaking song. At the climax of the song, he rips open his shirt to show his anguish.
There are maybe 50 people in the audience, most of them tourists, slowly sipping drinks. It’s warm in the room and smoky from the wood-burning stove in the next room over. Some audience members shuffle in their seats, but most pay rapt attention to the dance. Not all of them can follow the story being told, especially those unfamiliar with this particular Romani brand of Spanish, but everyone in the room can feel the beat and the passion of the music.
The dance is called the Zambra, a traditional form of flamenco danced in Sacromonte (“Sacred Mountain”), the Romani district of Granada, Spain. The Moors ruled the southern part of Spain from AD 711 to 1492, and Moorish dance, art, and music merged with that of the locals, creating the Zambra, as well as much of the rest of Granada’s rich cultural heritage.
In 1492, the Catholic Church retook Granada from the Moors and, seeing anything foreign or strange as wicked, outlawed the dance. The Romani were forced to practice the dance underground for hundreds of years, lending it the nickname “The Forbidden Dance.” Eventually, however, laws loosened, and in the twentieth century, the dance became popular with tourists. Now the Romani are once again able to dance it freely.
The hall is called the Venta El Gallo (“Rooster Market”), a combination restaurant, bar, and dance parlor. It is one of many small performance halls in the neighborhood to offer flamenco shows to tourists. Venta El Gallo is one of Sacromonte’s famous cave houses, dwellings carved into the side of the mountain. From the inside, the only indications of this are the room’s low, arched ceiling and lack of windows. The atmosphere is enhanced by the low lighting and the gleam of the copper pots hanging from the white, textured walls of the room.
After two hours of dancing, the dancers all come on stage for the finale. The music builds, and the musicians’ fingers fly across the strings. The last note rings out, and the audience breaks into applause. The dancers smile and bow, breathing hard. The lights go on in the rest of the hall, and audience members chatter together excitedly. They wander out of the hall and onto the balcony, gazing across the valley at the rest of the city, lit up in the evening darkness.

Fly Fishing Canada
If you were to use only one word to describe the fly fishing in Canada, that word would definitely be “variety.” From the legendary steelhead waters of British Columbia to the trout-rich rivers of Alberta to the pike-filled lakes of Saskatchewan, finding a Canada fly fishing lodge to exceed your highest expectations is effortless. Serious and slightly more experienced anglers may be interested in the challenge of wild steelhead in British Columbia – home to the world’s most famous steelhead rivers and the largest trophy sea-run rainbows on the planet. While rarely a “numbers” game, the satisfaction of hooking, fighting and landing even a single wild and pure-strain anadromous fish ranks at the very top of the list of great angling accomplishments. During the summer months, the waters of Western Canada and the trout rivers of British Columbia and Alberta are celebrated for a number of reasons, including above-average fish sizes, healthy wild trout, a strong diversity of species, consistent dry fly fishing, and incredible hatches. Combined with exceptional scenery and a total lack of crowds, this is one of the finest trout fisheries found anywhere in North America. For adventurous anglers looking for trophy Northern Pike, the lakes of Saskatchewan attract anglers from all over the world with vast populations of pike, lake trout, Arctic grayling and walleye. A trip to the wilds of Saskatchewan is a true wilderness adventure, with spectacular vistas, impressive wildlife viewing, and some of the finest freshwater fishing action found anywhere.
Alberta Fly Fishing Lodges
As the first Elk River fly fishing guide service based in Fernie, British Columbia and one of the largest fly fishing outfitters in Western Canada, Dave Brown has earned his place in the fly fishing community as the outfitter of choice for those seeking the ultimate Canadian trout fishing experience.
Imagine setting out for a day’s fishing from their private river access and returning to an intimate guest lodge with a gourmet supper waiting. An area that is virtually unfished, with the Bow’s most experienced guides, and less than an hour from Calgary Alberta.
British Columbia Fly Fishing Lodges
Ideally situated in the rugged coastal mountains near Terrace, British Columbia, the mighty Skeena River and its tributaries form the major arteries that fork through stands of old growth forest and steep valley walls. It is in this river system that some of the strongest runs of large, wild steelhead and salmon left in the world return each season
Strategically situated on the banks of the Skeena River, Spey Lodge offers steelhead fishing trips to the unlimited availability of fly-friendly waters of the lower Skeena watershed. Further to the north lies Spey Lodge’s sister operation Boundary Lodge, a slightly smaller lodge built on the banks of the Bell-Irving River.
Gord Silverthorne’s Kootenay Fly Shop was the first stand-alone fly shop and outfitting business established in Fernie, BC. Fulfilling a childhood dream, Gord opened his fly shop in 1995 and has since expanded to offer first-rate accommodations in the attached Tightlines Lodge.
Ontario Fly Fishing Lodges
Welcome to the land of giants, where brook trout, northern pike and walleye all await you. Our fly-out fishing program offers anglers access to rivers and lakes that rarely see anyone throughout the season, some don’t see people for years.
Saskatchewan Fly Fishing Lodges
More than 100 miles long and 400 feet deep, Wollaston and its surrounding lakes attract seasoned anglers with vast populations of trophy fish of four distinct species: northern pike, lake trout, arctic grayling and walleye.
Northwest Territories / Arctic Fly Fishing Lodges
In operation for over 60 years - Plummer’s Lodge is the longest running fishing operation in the Canadian Arctic. Great Bear Lake Lodge is certainly the crown jewel of the Plummer’s program, boasting all tackle world records for lake trout and arctic grayling along with dozens of line class records.
The Tree River produces the largest arctic char in the world and boasts the all tackle world record at 32 pounds! Every summer several dozen char in the 20 pound range are caught with 8 – 12 pound fish commonplace.

The Italian government on Friday formally lengthened the coronavirus lockdown until March 5.
Issued today by the country’s Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, the decree reiterates all measures currently in effect, including the night curfew and travel restrictions between regions. However, Italy added the white zone to the existing three-tier system, which will be reserved for areas where coronavirus is under control. The regions will need to have fewer than 50 cases per 100,000 inhabitants for three weeks to qualify and be exempt from many COVID-19 restrictions.
Currently, no part of Italy qualifies, with three regions being designated as red zones, twelve as orange, and six as yellow. Nine regions were moved from yellow to orange in the newest update.

Swim/Wrestling Notebook: Taylor hopes for bigger splash
Published 6:30 am, Thursday, November 29, 2001
"There's certainly no pressure on us to repeat," McKinney said. "I don't know if we have the kids to win another one, but top 10 (at state) is a possibility."
Taylor graduated the bulk of last year's squad, including all four legs of its winning 200-yard medley relay and three from the second-place 200 freestyle relay.
Gone are standouts such as Alex Boyce, the state champion in the 100 butterfly and a silver medalist in the 50 freestyle, and Bryant Ho, a valuable member of both relays, but McKinney feels the Mustangs aren't exactly sunk. Taylor's hopes rest of the powerful swim strokes of senior Blake Scholz.
The All-American claimed the 200 freestyle in a time of 1:41.92, placed fourth in the 100 freestyle and swam on the 200 and 400 freestyle relays.

McKinney has high expectations for Scholz, who has committed to Purdue.
"Blake got his Olympic Trials cuts in the 200 butterfly over the summer," McKinney said. "It's too bad it's not a high school event, but it shows how well he's swimming."
Behind Scholz is a group of outstanding juniors -- Bobby Aertker, Greg Boyce, Brian Regone and Jordan Ryan. Boyce and Regone have state meet experience as members of the 400 freestyle relay. All four have qualified for regionals individually.
"Those kids aren't at the same level as a Blake Scholz or an Alex Boyce, but they've got potential," McKinney said. "If they keep working hard, they'll do well."
While Taylor's boys are rebuilding, McKinney believes the girls could move up from last year's 18th-place showing. Gone is Tiffany Strawn, a second-place finisher in the 100 butterfly and a state qualifier in the 200 individual medley.
Although Strawn is now at Texas Christian, the Mustangs should be improved with several other key returnees. Junior Mallory Estill was seventh in the 100 backstroke last year and should be among the favorites.
"Mallory's having a great season so far," McKinney said. "The only problem is the backstroke is one of the deepest events in the state. You've got (Lamar's) Hayley McGregory and a few girls from the Dallas area, but Mallory can hold her own with the best."
On the rise-- The Houston Independent School District doesn't have much of a reputation in wrestling, but Westside coach Ron Baker plans to change that.
Westside's boys, which won a district title during the program's first year, should be even better. That was obvious when the Wolves edged Katy Taylor 45-36 on Nov. 15.
"We weren't able to beat Taylor's top four wrestlers, but the rest of our guys did well," Baker said. "It was our biggest win."
Baker feels Westside could send several wrestlers to the state meet. Among them is sophomore Will Pennington, a state qualifier last year at 112 pounds.
Coming up-- The first big wrestling meet of the season, The 16-team Woodlands Invitational, will take place starting at 9 a.m. Saturday.
In swimming, the Katy Invitational is slated Saturday at Katy, while the Jingle Bell Invitational will take place Friday and Saturday at Clear Brook, with diving the first day and swimming the second.
Coaches who would like to report meet results may fax them to 713-220-7866.

She initially released her music independently, but signed to Sony Music under the newly-formed imprint Xenomania Records in 2013. As the drummer in Xenomania house band JFK, she has performed drums on Girls Aloud's "The Promise" and Alesha Dixon's "The Boy Does Nothing".
Florrie was born in Bristol and attended Colston's Girls' School. She took up playing the drums when she was in Greece on a family holiday aged six. As a teenager she played in bands in her home town, eventually moving to London. A meeting with the manager of Australian singer Gabriella Cilmi led Florrie to successfully audition as the drummer in the houseband of Xenomania.
In February 2010, Florrie released a free download through her official site of "Call 911 (Fred Falke Remix)". Since then, she has also released several remixes of "Call 911" and a number of other original tracks, such as "Panic Attack", "Fascinate Me" and "You Wanna Start Something".
On 10 November 2010, Florrie released her debut EP Introduction, featuring four original tracks: "Call of the Wild", "Give Me Your Love", "Summer Nights" and "Left Too Late" .
Florrie's second EP, Experiments, was released on 14 June 2011. It includes "Begging Me", "Experimenting with Rugs", "She Always Gets What She Wants", "Speed of Light", "What You Doing This For" and "I Took a Little Something".
Florrie followed Experiments with another EP, Late, released on 31 May 2012 - it features "Shot You Down", "I'm Gonna Get You Back", "Every Inch" and "To The End".
After a number of independent releases, Florrie signed to Sony Music in early 2013. She collaborated with Sony in advertisements for their XBA-C10 headphones, also releasing the single "Live a Little" which appears in the spots.
In February 2014, Florrie announced her first major label release, the Sirens EP. Released in April, it features three songs - all of which receiving music videos - "Seashells", "Free Falling" and "Wanna Control Myself". A remix of the song "Little White Lies" was also included on the EP.
The former track was released as a single shortly after. It was officially released in August with an accompanying EP, featuring five remixes and updated versions of previously released songs "Left Too Late" and "Give Me Your Love".
Florrie announced her first single proper on Sony, "Too Young To Remember", in January 2015, and a partnership was revealed with clothing retailer H&M that saw her become the face of their H&M Loves Music collection, with a tie-in to the single.
As of February 2015, a release date or title has not been confirmed for Florrie's debut studio album, but it is expected to be released in summer 2015.

Recently, the Washington Post published a lessons-learned report on Afghanistan authored by the U.S. Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, SIGAR. The report, based on 600 interviews with American civilian and military leaders directly involved in the operations in Afghanistan, reveals bleak pictures of an “unwinnable” war, with the U.S. administration deliberately hiding the truth. The report caused a sensation in the international community involved in Afghanistan.
Canada spent $20 billion for the Afghanistan mission: military operations and development assistance (of $2.2 billion). Certainly, Canada’s largest development assistance program in history must address public accountability principles. While David Mulroney, a former deputy minister who oversaw the Canadian operations in Afghanistan, welcomes a comprehensive review of Canada’s involvement, Defence Minister Harjit Sajjan dismisses the findings of the SIGAR report. He defends Canada’s military and development record, based on what he witnessed during his time in Afghanistan. He claims that to comprehend the degree of the impact of Canadian presence in Afghanistan, one must be on the ground and see the ups and downs over the years.

Hardworking, multifunctional, customized conveyor line.Read More
Our stackers condense pallets and totes to save warehouse space.Read More
Our pneumatic lifts last for millions of cycles.Read More
Our goal as a material handling equipment manufacturer is to help our clients make their processes more efficient. How do you measure that? Well, the proof is in the numbers. An engineering company that designs and manufactures steel automotive parts, came to us for conveyor help. We built them some customized powered extendable conveyor and roller conveyors, which were installed in October.
Since installation, our client's Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), which calculates how a machine is expected to run versus how it actually does run, for their machinery has improved by 25 percent, reporting over 95 percent OEE in November.
Our customers were thrilled with the improvements, saying their operators don't spend nearly as much time fighting with the machinery.
Running two jobs used to take 3 hours, Process Engineer Seth Monroe said, now it only takes 1.5 hours. That's a 50 percent improvement.
Maintenance has also become easier. Replacing the belts on the extendable conveyors used to take two to three hours. Now it takes 30 minutes.
"It takes longer to get the belts out of the crib than it does to replace them," Monroe said.
That's the kind of news we like to hear.
On a single conveyor there can be multiple kinds of product, and they may all need different end destinations. This dynamic conveyor movement can be achieved by incorporating transfers into the conveyor system. They operate to reroute product 90 degrees.
Tuff Automation's custom-designed belt transfers are easy to integrate, mounting into any live roller conveyor—line shaft, belt, or chain driven. They can cut lead times on conveyor transfers by as much as half.
Efficient, space-saving product redirection
Transfers are ideal for reducing conveyor floor space because they allow for this change of route without requiring large arcing curves. A mounted transfer simply pops up when actuated and pushes product over onto an adjoining conveyor.
Custom design with the highest quality materials
Tuff transfers are custom built to fit your application. They can be inserted into standard line shaft conveyor (1.9) with rollers on three-inch centers without modification, meaning you don’t have to buy special conveyor sections to accommodate them.
Our belt transfers are ideal for product that needs to be handled more gently—the belts don’t mar product. Our transfers are typically pneumatically actuated, utilize DC or AC conveyor motors, and can incorporate as many strands as necessary.

The following sponsors were scheduled to exhibit at DigitalFocus:
Psion Model 7
A beefier big brother to the already impressive Model 5, the Psion Model 7 is a no compromise mobile companion. Need stylus input AND a compact touch-typeable keyboard? Need full-function office applications? Need a full, vga-width web browser that can run Java applets? The Psion has all that and more. No wonder Bill Gates considers this Epoc OS powered device a real threat to Windows CE.
Sony Vaio Music Clip
Holy shrinkage, Batman! This tiny black or silver solid-state MPEG music player from Sony is smaller than a Pez dispenser (less than 5 in. long) but crams 2 hours of ATRAC3, MP3 or WAV audio into its 64Mb flash memory. Just pump some tunes into it via USB from your PC or laptop, connect some headphones, and you have enough juice to jam for up to five hours on one AA battery. As usual, Sony has added nice details like three equalizer presets (Rock/Pop/Jazz), a backlit LCD display and an upgradeable codec (which means the Music Clip can adapt to changing music standards). A real pocket-sized audio marvel, the Sony Vaio Music Clip will be available soon for $300.
Targus Universal Auto/Air Adapter
Whether you do your mobile computing in trains, planes, or automobiles, Targus has released a product that your laptop will really get a charge out of. When you are on the move and don't want to drain your laptop's battery, the Auto/Air Adapter is designed to tap into your car's lighter or even the power adapters showing up in newer airline seats. What makes this a "universal" solution is that Targus provides connectors, called PowerTips, that plug into over 75% of all notebooks including Compaq, Hewlett Packard, IBM, Toshiba, Sharp and Panasonic notebooks as well as, most recently, Dell and Sony laptops. This versatility means you can almost always find mobile power and won't likely have to buy a new power adapter when you upgrade your laptop.
Xircom - PortStation
PortStation is universal docking station for your USB notebook (or PC) and a real cable tamer. Mix and match your choice of snap-together expansion modules for instant connectivity to Ethernet 10 Lans, 56K/ISDN/DSL/Cable Modems, USB hubs, and parallel or serial port devices. When you're done, a single USB cable instantly jacks you into your entire home office, corporate network, or the Internet.
The basic PortStation plus parallel port, serial ports, and a 4-port USB hub is $254. Replace the USB hub with an Ethernet port and it will cost you around $289.
Xircom - RealPort CardBus Ethernet 10/100+Modem 56
Xircom's line of RealPort communication adapters eliminate the flimsy pop-out jacks and proprietary cables of other notebook modems or LAN adapters and replaces them with standard, full-sized jacks integrated right into a PCCard package. The 1.3 oz. (36 g) unit pictured above (model RBEM56G-100BTX) includes modem, ethernet, and telephone pass-thru connectors along with a GSM/Cellular/ISDN connector and is around $150.

Pivot Legal Society is suing Vancouver over the use of police dogs, saying officers are using the animals too early and too aggressively, resulting in a large number of serious injuries.
The B.C. legal advocacy organization launched the suit Thursday after losing a fight to change the way the Vancouver Police Department uses canine units. Pivot lawyer Douglas King said change is needed to reduce the number of injuries suffered from dog bites.
Vancouver accounts for nearly three-quarters of the dog-bite injuries reported by municipal police districts in the province. There have been 121 reported injuries from police dog bites in Vancouver since March, 2010, according to statistics from the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner.
Mr. King launched the suit on behalf of client Christopher Evans. Mr. Evans, 33, is seeking damages from the Vancouver Police Department after a police dog bit his leg during an arrest. He said his injuries, which required more than 100 staples to repair, caused him to lose both his job and his apartment.
"It just seems to be the worst-case scenario and the worst example of when somebody is bitten by a police dog and they don't really need to be," Mr. King said. "The consequences are so severe."
The incident, which occurred last summer, started when Mr. Evans broke the window of a bus with his skateboard. He said he was frustrated with buses that failed to stop for him and admits that it was wrong to lash out. Still, what happened when he headed home was surprising, he said.
While skateboarding down an alley, playing loud music through earbud headphones, he was bitten on the back of his calf and fell to the ground. His initial reaction was that a stray dog was attacking him. But he realized the German shepherd was a police dog when he looked back and saw an officer standing 30 or 40 feet away, he said.
"I was just so pissed off that they let this dog ruin my leg. I didn't know if my leg was wrecked permanently or what was happening to it," Mr. Evans said. "At the time it looked like a grenade went off in my pocket. Like my leg was all open everywhere."
Charged with mischief, Mr. Evans was taken to St. Paul's Hospital and treated for his injuries. The charges were later stayed by the Crown, Mr. King said.
The Vancouver police had no comment about Mr. Evans' case. Last week, the force issued a statement in response to Pivot's request for a review of police-dog policy, stating that no change is needed.
Mr. King said he hopes the lawsuit will prompt the VPD to reconsider their earlier request to change police-dog policy, he said. This includes changing to a "bark and hold" method instead of the currently employed "bite and hold" technique. They would also like the VPD to stop using dog squads as first responders.
Approximately three-quarters of police forces across North America use the "bite and hold" method, said criminology professor David MacAlister of Simon Fraser University. He said there is a lot of debate among dog trainers over which method is best.
"A lot of police departments that are concerned about civil liability seem to be turning to the find and bark method," he said. "You know, it is almost surprising that there aren't more civil suits against the police." Prof. MacAlister trained and sold German shepherds to the VPD and other police departments in the past.
Mr. Evans currently lives in the Balmoral Hotel in the Downtown Eastside and works part-time as a scaffolder.


Every time I think that the state of US politics in general, and the Republican party in particular, has reached new depths of dysfunctionality and cannot sink any lower, I get proved wrong. The bizarre struggle to find a new Speaker for the House of Representatives truly marks a major new low. The Speaker’s post was until just recently something that ambitious young congresspeople aspired to as the pinnacle of their careers. It enabled the holder to wield considerable political power, someone who, along with the senate majority leader and the president, pretty much determined the agenda of the country. The Speaker was the second in line for the presidency, after the vice-president, which gives some idea of the importance attached to the position by the drafters of the US Constitution. (UPDATE: This is wrong. As Chiroptera points out in the comments, the complete line of succession is not in the Constitution but is specified by law. Ahcuah points out that some legal scholars say that the Speaker does not qualify to be in the list at all. Thanks to both!)
So what are we to make of the current situation where it is seen as the kiss of death for a political career and people are being begged to take the job?
The current situation is that Republicans have 247 members, the Democrats 188, and the election is by the full chamber of 435 which means that as long as you can garner 218 votes, you can win. A lot of attention has been focused on the chaos within the Republican party because they are the majority party and thus the ones who can elect the Speaker on their own without opposition support. The scenario was supposed to play out as follows: John Boehner uses his last month in office to pass (with Democratic support and over the objections of the nutcases in the party) a long-term budget and raise the debt ceiling, thus clearing the decks for his designated successor Kevin McCarthy to have at least some breathing space before the next crisis lurches into view.
The sudden withdrawal from the race of McCarthy on Thursday amid all manner of dark rumors has resulted in complete meltdown. The problem is that Republican caucus cannot seem to get 218 in support of anyone within its own ranks and a Speaker who has to depend on Democratic votes to get elected will be seen as a traitor to the party, because the Speaker is seen as a party leader and thus a partisan. This is quite different from the British parliament where the Speaker, although also elected by the full chamber and thus likely to be a member of the majority party, is supposed to be strictly neutral. Thus a Speaker there who gets a lot of support from both sides of the aisle is desirable.
It looks like no one can command a majority within the Republican caucus. Even the one-time golden boy Paul Ryan who was thought to be a possible unifier and is being urged to run by many and is as right wing as they come, is being denigrated by some in the nutcase wing. This wing consists of the Freedom Caucus (36 members) and the Liberty Caucus (36 members), although 21 members belong to both groups making 51 in all. They have suspicions that Ryan is a party establishment stooge and ‘too soft’ (i.e., unwilling to shut down the government) in pursuit of the issues they care about. It is clear that these nutcase members positively hate Boehner (and also Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell) who they think feel more at home talking with president Obama than with them. Which may well be true. Anyone who is seen as being too close to Boehner or McConnell, and thus anyone in the party leadership and that includes Ryan, thus becomes immediately suspect.
To fully appreciate this situation, we have to remember that Ryan is an extreme oligarchy-worshipping conservative who wants to cut all manner of services that benefit the poor and middle class and was memorably and accurately described by Charles P. Pierce as a ‘zombie-eyed granny starver’. He is also an Ayn Rand devotee. It is this person who is considered not extreme enough!
It is interesting that the three who were once seen as the future leaders of the party are reduced to just one, and even he is damaged goods. Taking their identity from a cowboy film, the pitiless three of Ryan, Eric Cantor, and McCarthy branded themselves as The Young Guns and even published a self-aggrandizing book in 2010 claiming that they were a new breed of hard-nosed conservatives who would ride into Washington and clean up the town, throwing out the old guard and enacting the Tea Party agenda.
So what happened to them? In 2014 Eric Cantor lost his primary race to a Tea Partier. McCarthy has just been sandbagged in his attempt to become Speaker and is in decline and will likely not last long in Congress. This leaves just Ryan and even he is lying low, resisting the entreaties of the party leadership to take the Speaker’s post as the only possible unifier. Why is he resisting? Because he likely realizes that the wolves that he himself unleashed in the form the Tea Party, Freedom Caucus, and Liberty Caucus will wait only for a short while before they tear him limb from limb for being just another establishment compromiser, not willing to shut down the government over Obamacare or Planned Parenthood or the budget or Benghazi or the debt ceiling or Iran or whatever the hell is the current burr in their saddle. Who knows how long he will last?
Like with all such dramas, this can also serve as a teaching moment. For example, I did not know until this week that the US Constitution does not require you to be an elected member of the House of Representatives to be elected Speaker of that body, though every Speaker in the past has been a member. So now in desperation all manner of wild suggestions are being made for outsiders to come in as saviors and become Speaker, including Newt Gingrich and Mitt Romney and (Baphomet help us!) Joe Lieberman. Some have suggested that John Boehner withdraw his resignation since that would mean no election is necessary.
California Democratic congressman Mark Takano has fun at Republican expense by posting a Craigslist ad for the position, describing the requirements that he thinks are necessary, such as “Proven ability to work with irrational people who pursue narrow priorities at the expense of millions of others”. I think that they should seize the opportunity of selecting an outsider to find someone who has been a hostage negotiator or marriage counselor or other kind of conflict mediator because that seems to be the kinds of skills that the current job requires.
We live in a time when there seems to be a breakdown in the simple mechanics of governing.

LEHIGH ACRES, Fla. — The Lee County Sheriff's Office has arrested a Lehigh Acres teacher for child abuse.
According to the Lee County Sheriff's Office (LSCO), the school resource officer at Harns Marsh Elementary in Lehigh Acres received information in regards to 39-year-old Adrean Johnson striking students.
Representatives from the Lee County School District responded to the school, removed the educator from the classroom while the detectives conducted interviews, and collected evidence.
Investigators say Johnson slapped the victim in the face with her hand and would strike them on the legs, back, and buttocks with a ruler.
Johnson was placed under arrest for one count of Felony Child Abuse.
LCSO says the investigation is still active and additional charges are possibly forthcoming as we continue our investigation with the Lee County School District.

The Hidden Wounds: Understanding and Coping with PTSD in Disaster Survivors
When someone survives a disaster such as a hurricane, earthquake, terrorist attack, or accident, their problems don’t necessarily end when the event does.

The three matches between the World no.1 side India and World Champions Australia promise to be a cracking affair. Here are the six players to watch out for in the T20I series between India and Australia.
Team India enter the final leg of preparation for October's T20 World Cup with a three-match T20I series against Australia that starts on September 20 in Mohali. The Indian squad for the series against Australia sees the return of fast bowlers Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel, while pacer Umesh Yadav has been announced as a replacement for Mohammed Shami who is poised to miss the series after being tested positive for COVID-19. A few key players are also missing from the Australian squad as well. Opener David Warner has been rested for this tour. Injuries to Mitchell Starc, Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis have not helped the last year's World Cup winner's cause as well.But the three matches between the World no.1 side India and World Champions Australia promise to be a cracking affair. Here are six players to watch out for in the T20I series between India and Australia.
1. Jasprit Bumrah | Indian cricket fans are eagerly awaiting the return of speedster Jasprit Bumrah. The fast bowler last played an international match in July in England. He was rested for the tour of the West Indies and he subsequently picked up an injury that ruled him out of the Asia Cup in the UAE. India's lead pacer was sorely missed in the Asia Cup as the team failed to qualify for the final. Bumrah is now fit and has been included in the squad for the series against Australia and most importantly the squad for the T20 World Cup. With Bumrah back in the mix, the Indian bowling attack will get its bit back. (Image: AP)
2. Harshal Patel | Like Bumrah, Harshal Patel is also on his comeback trail. The medium pacer's last international outing was a T20I match against England in Nottingham. Patel did not travel to the West Indies owing to injury. But he too has recovered from his injury in time and has got a place in India's T20 World Cup squad. Patel will also be featuring in the three-match T20I series against Australia. With Patel in the playing XI, Indian captain Rohit Sharma has more options to choose from for the death overs of an innings. (Image: BCCI)
3. Virat Kohli | Although team India had a disappointing campaign in the Asia Cup 2022, but Virat Kohli roared back to form in the UAE. Kohli looked like his old self as he hit two fifties and a hundred to finish as the tournament's second highest run-scorer. Kohli's batting is always exciting to watch, but what makes Kohli a player to watch out for in the matches leading into the T20 World Cup is that he could be opening the innings alongside Rohit. Ahead of the series against Australia, the Indian captain has said that Kohli is India's third-opener in the T20 World Cup squad and there will be games where he will open. Kohli capitalized on one chance he got to open the innings in the Asia Cup as he hit a hundred against Afghanistan. With Kohli opening, India has the option to play an extra player in the playing XI. (Image: AP).
4. Tim David | Tim David is one of the most promising T20 cricketers to have rocked the leagues including the IPL in recent years. The hard-hitting middle-order batsman was born in Singapore and has represented Singapore in international matches until now. But David is now set to become an Australian cricketer as he has been given the chance to play in the Australian national team. David will be seen in action in the T20 World Cup in Australia but his first assignment as an 'Aussie' cricketer is the three-match T20I series against India. David's destructive batting makes him a prized asset in the playing XI. (Image: BCCI)
5. Josh Hazlewood | Australian fast bowler Josh Hazlewood is the no.1 ranked T20I bowler in the world. Hazlewood is known for his line and length. Even in a T20I match, he can outsmart a batsman with his Test match-style bowling. With fast bowler Mitchell Starc ruled out of the series against India Hazlewood will be a key pacer for Australia in the three matches. (Image: Getty)
6. Glenn Maxwell | With a world ranking of five, Glenn Maxwell is the highest-ranked Aussie all-rounder in the ICC Men's T20I ranking for the all-rounders. Maxwell is one of the most experienced players in the Aussie squad. His big hits and tight overs upfront make him an unmissable player in a T20 team. With all-rounders Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis ruled out of the series against India, Maxwell will have a busy time in the middle in the upcoming three matches.

It’s heatwave time…repeatedly. in “green edition” Dedicated to the future consequences of global warming in urban areas, Visau wonders in one What would life be like at 50 degrees Celsius?.
Portuguese weekly offers ways so that we can “Adapts to more regular heat extremes” It reviews the challenges facing cities, agriculture, working hours, the economy, tourism and even schools.
On the cover, we get to see Lisbon, under a sky full of heat, but the Portuguese capital looks much more wooded than it is today, with many solar panels on the roofs. Revegetation of cities, to mitigate the consequences of the increasing, frequent and intense heat waves, seems to be one of the first solutions promoted by the magazine, in order to prevent the spread of heat waves. “urban jungle” It does not convert to a file “The dreadful desert.”
Giant revolution in Paris?
Without new urban planning, the consequences will be dire: increased mortality, but also a decrease in productivity, creativity, or coexistence. in its editorialpublishing manager visau, Rui Tavares Guedes recalls that there is urgency:
Currently, in 350 major cities around the world, 200 million people are frequently exposed to temperatures above 35°C. By 2050, that number will increase to about a thousand cities and 1.6 billion people who experience extreme heat for more than three consecutive months a year.”
In terms of the Green Revolution, Visau Takes as an example Paris, where a broad plan discussion began this week, below April presentation of the ‘Paris at 50°C’ report.
“Reinvent yourself or you will perish”
If this plan works, keep an eye on the weekly, it is It would represent a revolution as gigantic as that which was painted in the second half of the nineteenth centuryH century by Haussmann, whose major urban reform enabled the French capital, years later, to take pride in “lighting up” the world.
The authors of the Parisian report made 85 recommendations, including creating green spaces, “de-debting” the streets, changing roofing materials or even decontaminating and treating the waters of the Seine.
For Rui Tavares Guedes, it’s true ‘More urgent than ever’ that environmental dimension “Be present in any urban planning” : Cities must reinvent themselves. Unlike that “It won’t even be good enough for tourists anymore” – “or its doomed”.

Notation on back of 3x4-inch BW photograph reads: "Sorting potatoes in potato shed / Bouquet Canyon 1947."
The unidentified people in the photo would be related to Samuel Duran, because the image comes to us from the family photo collection of his great-granddaughter Jennifer Jones.
Duran (b. 2-19-1903, d. 1-19-1970) came to Newhall in the mid-1930s from a ranch in Oxnard to work for The Newhall Land and Farming Co.
Samuel and his family lived in a company home on the Saugus-Ventura Road (now Magic Mountain Parkway and Highway 126), at what is now the southeast corner of Magic Mountain and Valencia.
Duran stayed with Newhall Land until 1962-63 when he went to work at the Kings Ranch in Bouquet Canyon, then to Lancaster to farm alfalfa before returning to his native New Mexico.
