) -- Executives at daily deal site
remain committed to going public but are unsure about the timing,
The Wall Street Journal
reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.
Federal regulators have been examining the company's initial public offering documents more aggressively than expected, and the volatility in the stock market is holding the company back from introducing its stock, the person told the newspaper.
The company's major shareholders, including
Morgan Stanley Investment Management
, all have indicated they remain interested in the stock, the person said.
On Friday, Groupon amended its offering filing to reduce reported revenue for 2010 to $312.9 million from $713.4 million. The filing also included parts of a letter written by CEO Andrew Mason to employees earlier this month that talked of the company's success. The letter was immediately leaked to the press, which could be seen as a violation of
Securities and Exchange Commission
rules that a company can't make public statements about its stock during the IPO process, the
The SEC could require a "cooling off period" for Groupon that could delay its IPO further, according to two people familiar with the matter.

The Beatles’ first and last photos taken together
The Beatles’ first photo taken together was taken on August 22, 1962. Exactly seven years later, on August 22, 1969, their final photo shoot took place at John’s home.
The 1962 photo was taken during the Beatles’ lunchtime performance at the Cavern Club. It was only about a week after Ringo had replaced Pete Best and four days after his first official appearance as a Beatle. A television crew from Granada Television recorded their performance of “Some Other Guy” for the program Know The North, although it went unused until November, 1963 for the program Scene at 6:30.
The final photo shoot took place at John’s home at Tittenhurst Park.
“George Harrison was miserable from frame one to frame 500. He was so over it. I don’t think he did anything but scowl for three hours. Paul was trying to hold it together. He had his arms crossed like, ‘Come on, lads!’ But the concept of the Beatles just didn’t sync with who they were any more. I could have asked them to smile, but it would have been totally fake and I’m glad I didn’t. This marriage had come to an end – and boy does it show.” – Ethan Russell, photographer for the Beatles’ final photo shoot
Photos from the shoot were used on the sleeve of the 1969 single Something/Come Together (double A-side) and the cover of the 1970 compilation album Hey Jude.

Why Travel Loyalty Programs Belong on the Blockchain
Take a look at the latest Apple Maps app to understand the company's evolving ambitions in travel and tourism. Maps has gone a long way from its bumpy 2012 launch, and Tim Cook's public apology explaining why Google Maps no longer came installed on iPads and iPhones. Three years and a handful of iOS upgrades later, and Apple has made some significant improvements to its mapping feature that very clearly point to the company's deepening relationship with travelers.
Business or pleasure? Both. The travel industry has recently begun to stir around the concept of ‘bleisure’ travel. Yes it’s a jarring portmanteau describing the blurring of the lines between business and leisure travel. However annoying, it does capture a fundamental essence of how travel is changing these days. Bleisure (or the concept behind it) goes much deeper than just a few extra room nights and meals.

1 in 3 Providers Avoid Flu Shots as Stakes Rise
Asked during a news conference how healthcare providers expect to motivate their patients to get flu vaccines when so many providers don't set a good example, Litjen Tan, Director, Medicine and Public Health for the American Medical Association, replied that providers are beginning to understand the need for immunization.
"That they need to be good role models and get vaccinated themselves, I think, is something that's beginning to hit them, in terms of their radar, and that's why you're seeing these rates going up," he said.
Recommendations from the National Vaccine Advisory Committee this February say every medical facility needs to have an influenza prevention program in place, and that vaccination "needs to be an important component."
"But if you have all these prevention programs in place and you still can not successfully immunize 90% of your healthcare workers, which is the Healthy People 2020 goal, they strongly recommend that you start looking at other methods to try to get to that rate, which includes things like (making vaccination) a condition of employment," Tan said.

So much so, that the 2021 All-Pro selection took an unorthodox trip from Buffalo to Kansas City, just to be able to suit up. Poyer, dealing with “resolving pneumothorax,” or a collapsed lung, was not medically cleared to fly. Per ESPN, doctors were not comfortable with the air pressure that comes with flying as Poyer recovers from the injury.
Poyer’s alternative was gathering up his family and hitching a 15-hour ride in a van from Buffalo to Kansas City. And that’s exactly what Poyer did. Poyer made it on time and recorded four tackles while playing 100% of the snaps in the Bills’ 24-20 victory over the Chiefs.
“This is the next one, so it’s good that we got [the win] going into the bye week,” Poyer said. “Gotta get everybody healthy again and come back home against … the Packers.”
Poyer, 31, suffered the injury in the Week 4 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Listed as a rib injury on Buffalo’s injury report, he was absent from the team’s Week 5 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Now facing a bye week, Poyer has a chance to rest up and prepare for the Green Bay Packers (3-3) in Week 8.
“You want to go into a season, you want to go throughout the year, without any bumps and bruises, but that’s going to happen,” Poyer said last week. “Just fighting through ’em, and luckily, we’ve got a great team of trainers here that allow me to get back on the field and perform at my best.”
Josh Allen Goes Beast Mode to Lead Bills to Victory over Chiefs
After Sunday’s contest, Bills quarterback Josh Allen is now “Air Allen.” Down 20-17 with two minutes remaining in the game, Allen and the Bills were driving. Buffalo could have played for a field goal to take the game into overtime, but Allen had other plans. It was a hurdle which sent the NFL world into a frenzy and set up the Bills’ game-winning score.
In the battle of quarterbacks, it was Allen who came out on top — outdueling Patrick Mahomes. He did so in impressive fashion, completing 27-of-40 passes for 329 yards and three touchdowns. He also had 32 rushing yards in the win.
Mahomes had some big numbers, too, but had two costly turnovers. The former league MVP totaled 338 passing yards, 21 rushing yards and threw two touchdown passes with two interceptions.

The latest Quarterly Update of Australia’s National Greenhouse Gas Inventory: September 2022 is now available.
The report shows emissions were 490.5 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in the year to September 2022 – 0.1% or 0.3 million tonnes higher than the same period in 2021.
The trend over the year reflects movement across the sectors, including:
- Ongoing reductions in emissions from electricity
- Increased transport emissions reflecting a continuing recovery from COVID related travel restrictions
- Increased emissions from agriculture, due to the continuing recovery from drought.
Emissions in the year to September 2022 were 21.0% below June 2005 levels – the base year for Australia’s 2030 Paris Agreement target.

Berlin, 16 April 2013
Kosovo’s Foreign Affairs Minister, Enver Hoxhaj, stated in Germany that solutions which give executive power to one ethnicity are dangerous and unacceptable.
Enver Hoxhaj made these comments while on an official visit to Berlin.
He clarified the position of Kosovo government that any solution that leads to entitling a particular ethnicity with executive powers, in northern Kosovo, is unacceptable and dangerous.
“Such ideas bring internal separation” said Hoxhaj, thus refusing every possibility for the application of options similar to “Republika Srpska.” Mr. Hoxhaj’s statement was supported by German diplomats.
Andreas Schockenhoff, member of the Parliamentary Group of CDU/ CSU, expressed disappointment at Belgrade’s refusal of Baroness Ashton’s proposed agreement. “We are saddened by Belgrade’s refusal of Ashton’s proposal. It is unacceptable, from our point of view, that there are different legal frameworks and entities within the state of Kosovo. That is why dialogue should continue,” said Schockenhoff.
He also said that this process regards two states on their way toward the European Union and NATO, therefore it should not continue independently, but through mutual support and cooperation.
Mr. Hoxhaj also met with Chancellor Merkel’s Adviser for International Relations, Christoph Heusgen, and stated that he received powerful support for the processes in Kosovo. /ibna/

Cheese burger to me is like the most iconic American food ever. It's like heaven all stuffed in a bun. Freshly grilled patty with hot melted cheese on top with some pickles sweet onions, tomato, and lettuce to make it look healthy.
The soul and heart of America is known as the cheeseburger. Grilled and ready to eat, it is by far my most favorite sandwich of all time. All the toppings you put with the bun and party can almost always go hand in hand. Just like my friends and I, we are like a cheeseburger, we complement each other because we fulfill each other.

I thought I needed to cover the burgers to get the cheese to melt in that last minute of cooking, but it didn't melt. Ended up, it was just fine - melting as the cheese squished against the patty in the sandwich. Any more melted and it would have oozed all over and not been edible.

- XRP has regained its footing, trading upward from a low of $0.4589, similar to Bitcoin and Ethereum.
- The cryptocurrency cleared major resistance near $0.4840 and now hovers below $0.505, targeting higher levels.
- A break above key resistance at $0.525 could initiate a strong rally, potentially testing the $0.570 and $0.600 zones.
XRP is experiencing a rejuvenation. After finding solid support near $0.458, the currency is gathering momentum. This is not an isolated event; Bitcoin and Ethereum are experiencing similar trends.Read CRYPTONEWSLAND on google news
Ripple’s XRP recently shattered a significant bearish trend line and now targets resistance at $0.505. Its trajectory mirrors a move above the 23.6% Fibonacci retracement level, signaling a positive turn of events. The currency sets its sights on the $0.5145 and $0.525 resistance areas. Breaking this barrier could inaugurate an impressive rally towards $0.570, even breaching the $0.600 level.
While we’re focused on XRP, let’s not forget Ripple’s broader contributions to the crypto industry. Ripple aims to revolutionize global transactions, making them instant, secure, and practically free. In this promising future, XRP becomes not just an asset but a cornerstone of a new financial landscape.
In the promising landscape of digital currencies, Ripple and XRP stand out as pioneering forces aiming for more than just a market presence. Ripple aims to redefine global transactions—making them faster, more secure, and essentially free. In doing so, XRP isn’t just a cryptocurrency; it’s poised to become a cornerstone in a new, globally-integrated financial ecosystem.
As blockchain technology becomes more prevalent and Ripple’s partnerships continue to expand, expect XRP to be at the forefront of a financial revolution. With a robust technology foundation and clear use-cases, the future seems unequivocally bright for Ripple and its native token, XRP.

Negative. That is the only description one can provide for the ads coming from the US Republican House and the MN House Republican caucus. I have been looking for them to tout any accomplishments…still waiting. A few days ago, they were beginning to talk about how they decreased health care premiums, except they forget to tell us that it is a one time buy down with millions of taxpayer dollars simply handed over to the insurance companies. Never telling us that next year that money will be gone and premiums will rise even higher.
Negative. The MN Republicans have nothing positive to say. They can’t tell us that they have an agenda that helps all of us. They can’t say that they produced any landmark legislation. All they seem to focus on is the failure of MNLARS without doing anything to fix it. They are quick to point out elder abuse, but didn’t pass anything to help. They don’t hesitate to get indignant about some day cares that have billed fraudulently to the state ( with ridiculous GOP attempts to link this to terrorism), but once again, they have done nothing about it.
Negative. They attack Democratic House candidates, who have never cast one single vote, as being in collusion with their “liberal allies” and “party bosses” in St. Paul. All that these civic minded candidates have done, is volunteer to run for office and offer their vision of what they can do for their communities. They haven’t been able to vote on any increased spending, not offered one single tax, and have only proffered plans to fix the problems which the people ACTUALLY with legislative power have not done anything about. So the GOP response to these new candidates is to offer dark, grainy, false assertions on cable ads or ominous looking literature, about votes these candidates could not have taken and never could.
Negative. There aren’t very many cheery biographical pieces about Republicans. They aren’t a cheery lot. Their message is “we are not Democrats” – but since Democrats do not control very much of government, the problems that exist cannot be blamed on the minority party. Of course, that does not stop the ads from telling everybody what Democrats might do to make things worse. Which begs the question, what about the problems we face right now? Where have the Republicans been on broadband, road revenue, transit, nitrates in the rivers and lakes, tax conformity for next April, fixing MNLARS, long term fix for health care, property tax relief…….where have they been on any of these issues?
No…all we get are dark, grainy negative commercials on TV and untruthful, distorted literature in the mail. Solves nothing. Helps nobody. And is contemptuous of the people who vote in this state and this country.
Vote on November 6th. Vote Democrat.

Williamsport, Pa. - The Crosscutters lost 11-2 against the Vermont Lake Monsters on Wednesday night in the opener of a three-game homestand at BB&T Ballpark. Vermont scored five runs in the first inning and never looked back as Williamsport gave up its most runs in a single game this season.
Five errors in the field led to eight of the 11 runs being unearned against Cutters pitching. Williamsport had not allowed double-digits since July 19 of last year when the Cutters lost 13-5 against Batavia.
Logan O'Hoppe blasted a solo home run in the fourth for his second long ball of the year. Corbin Williams snagged his 12th stolen base which is tops in the New York-Penn League.
Albertus Barber thrived in his relief role. The 23-year-old righty from Tulsa, Okla. Racked up five strikeouts in two innings while only allowing a bunt single.
Tainwan native Hsin-Chieh Lin was humming along in relief as well but a walk and an error set the table for a three-run homer by Vermont's Jordan Diaz who leads the league with 20 RBI.
Jose Conopoima (0-2) was tagged with the loss and did not make it through the first inning but all five runs that scored against him were unearned. The opening rally included a pair of two-out errors that would have ended the inning with no damage.
But after one run scored on the consecutive miscues it was a two-run double to left-center for Marty Bechina that made the score 3-0. Then Lawrence Butler legged out an infield hit to bring in another run from second. And reliever Anton Kuznetsov allowed a single to left by Yerdel Vargas for a 5-0 Lake Monsters lead in the first.
The Cutters got one of the them back in the bottom of the first with Corbin Williams single and stolen base, his league-leading 12th of the season. Jake Holmes singled him around to score with the help of a misplayed ball in right to cut the gap to 5-1.
Jordan Diaz belted a double to right-center in the second and then scored on the second error by third baseman Jake Holmes in his first game back with Williamsport.
And the Lake Monsters tacked on another in the third inning with Lawrence Butler reaching on an error to Brayan Gonzalez and scoring on the second RBI hit of the game by Vargas.
Logan O'Hoppe blasted a fourth inning home run out to left to make the score 7-2. But Vermont reliever Jhenderson Hurtado (2-0) found his game after that and retired the next eight batters he faced as part of a four-inning stint before working out of a bases-loaded jam in the seventh.
Hsin-Chieh Lin was terrific in the fourth and fifth but found difficulty in the sixth with a walk and a throwing error leading up to Jordan Diaz belting his fourth home run of the season for a 10-2 lead.
The Cutters loaded the bases with nobody out in the bottom of the seventh in a potential rally that included singles by Hunter Markwardt and Rudy Rott but Williamsport failed to cut into the lead when the team went down in order after that.
In the meantime, Albertus Barber was terrific in is third appearance of the season racking up five strikeouts in a two-inning stint across the seventh and eighth and allowing only a bunt single that was laid down against the shift.
An RBI triple for Shane Selman in the ninth against Adam Cox completed the scoring in the 11-2 final.
The farm clubs of the Philadelphia Phillies and Oakland A's will meet again on Thursday night at 7:05 p.m. with Penn State product LHP Taylor Lehman the probable starter for the Cutters.
The game marked the first time since 2015 that the Lake Monsters at appeared at Historic Bowman Field. Tonight marked the first non-divisional game of the season for the Crosscutters.

Item 93 (a) of the agenda of 58th session of the General Assembly “Sustainable development and international economic cooperation: women in development”
New York, 14 October 2003
The report of the Secretary-General under agenda item 93(a) that has just been introduced articulates very forcefully that “Inequalities that impede women’s empowerment and their full participation in development, including in economic development, persist worldwide. In no region of the world are women equal to men in legal, social and economic rights”. This situation is even more depressing in the Least Developed Countries (LDCs).
The 49 LDCs -- with nearly 720 million people constituting 10 per cent of the world population – are the most vulnerable segment of the international community. Extreme poverty, weak economies, lack of human and institutional capacities for growth and development coupled with geographic handicaps of these countries severely hamper their efforts to break out of the poverty trap. Women and girls in the LDCs suffer a grossly unequal burden of this deprivation and destitution. In addition, lack of women’s access and ownership of land and productive resources in the rural areas in particular further exacerbate gender inequality and, as a result, hinder also the overall development of these countries.
The Programme of Action for the Least Developed Countries for the Decade 2001-2010 provides a global framework for eradication of poverty, sustained economic growth and sustainable development. It articulates policies and measures by the LDCs and their development partners in seven critical areas and identifies gender as one of the most important cross-cutting issues. The Programme emphasizes that, “There are important linkages between development, poverty eradication and gender equality. Gender equality and gender mainstreaming are therefore essential strategic components for poverty reduction.” Its effective implementation would therefore go a long way in promoting the mainstreaming and empowerment of women in the development efforts of the LDCs.
Empowerment of women and gender mainstreaming at the country level is crucial for achieving the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Many of the LDCs have made worthwhile strides in advancing the objectives of gender equality. Legal changes protecting and upholding the rights of women, changes paving the ways for leadership and entrepreneurial opportunities and, above all, changes in societal attitude are seen throughout many of the LDCs. But at the same time, although almost all countries have ratified the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, national reports of the LDCs on its implementation indicate that women in the LDCs continue also to suffer discrimination due to their gender. They are excluded to various extents from full participation, on equal terms with men, in the political, social, economic life of their societies. Women are also disproportionately affected by the negative impact of external debt, the implementation of structural adjustment programmes, the decrease in prices for local produce, the decline of levels of development assistance and growing disparities in the distribution of wealth. They are often disadvantaged in terms of the benefits of social and economic development, in particular education and employment, and suffer from malnutrition and inadequacy of healthcare.
Gender focus in development co-operation and in the provision of assistance does contribute significantly in setting the right priorities. Appreciation is due to the European Commission as the gender equality is a fundamental requirement of its development co-operation with the LDCs. In these countries, gender-oriented programmes funded by many donors are aimed at empowering women in productive activities, improving their access to assets, providing them with equal opportunities and increasing their role in decision-making.
The various entities of the UN system have been very focussed and creative in gender mainstreaming in the LDCs. Employment of rural women in viable income generating projects by UNIDO has improved their management experience and raised their social status in a number of the LDCs. Similarly, the United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM) support to the Network of African Women Economists based in Senegal and to the Digital Diaspora Network for Africa has increased women’s access to information and communication technology and provided them with new social and economic opportunities. Various workshops sponsored by the UN Division for the Advancement of Women in the LDCs have been very useful in building and strengthening the capacity of women for leadership responsibilities.
But, at the same time, the Secretary-General’s comments are worth noting when he says in the report that it is regrettable that the national Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) have minimal integration of gender persective. The report also finds that the Common Country Assessment s (CCAs) and the UN Development Assistance Frameworks (UNDAFs) also do not focus on gender mainstreaming in a comprehensive manner.
One of the areas where the LDCs need assistance is the collection and analysis of gender segregated statistical data. The Secretary-General’s report indicates that lack of gender-segregated data is a serious constraint in reporting and monitoring the progress in the national-level implementation of the outcomes of the global summits and conferences of the 1990s. In case of the Least Developed Countries, especially for the sub-Saharan Africa, this situation is even worse -- many statistical data are simply not available at all.
Elaboration of gender-sensitive targets and indicators is another area where the LDCs and their development partners need to work together to ensure integrated and co-ordinated approach to the follow-up and implementation of the outcomes of the major global conferences from the gender perspective.
No development strategy could be effective without the involvement of women. Meeting the Millennium Development Goals that very appropriately incorporate the needs of the LDCs as well as those of the landlocked and small island countries and targets in gender equality and women’s empowerment is equally important for achieving economic growth and sustainable development. In this regard, the Secretary-General’s comments are pertinent when he says that, “There is no time to lose if we are to reach the Millennium Development Goals by the target date of 2015. Only by investing in the world’s women we can expect to get there. When women thrive, all of the society benefits, and succeeding generations are given a better start in life”.

World Bank launches “Apps for Climate” Competition
According to the World Bank, the competition, launched at the Durban climate conference, is asking entrants to use open data to create innovative software applications that can help solve some of the development problems that climate change poses.
In a statement, the Bank said “The “apps” for this latest competition can be created for the web, for mobile devices, for SMS, for a desktop, or a tablet.”
It adds “The competition includes cash prizes to the winning entries. Apps must be submitted by March 16, 2012.”
Explaining the aim of the competition, Mr Andrew Steer, World Bank Special Envoy for Climate Change said “The competition aims to discover new and extraordinary ways to use open climate data. We hope to unleash the creative energy out there which will make “apps” that help create solutions to weather-related disasters, risks for agriculture, food and water supplies, rising sea levels and other climate related challenges.”

The genius of the Constitution in organizing the federal government has given the United States extraordinary stability over the course of two centuries. And the Bill of Rights and subsequent amendments have placed fundamental human rights at the center of the U.S. legal system.
In moments of national crisis, it has been tempting for governments to attempt to suspend these rights in the interest of national security, but in the United States such steps have always been taken reluctantly and under the most scrupulous safeguards. During wartime, for example, military authorities censored mail between the United States and foreign countries, and especially from the battlefronts to families back home. But not even in wartime has the constitutional right to a fair trial been abrogated. Persons accused of crimes – and these include enemy nationals accused of spying, subversion, and other dangerous activities – are given the right to defend themselves and, under the American system, are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Amendments to the Constitution subsequent to the Bill of Rights cover a wide range of subjects. One of the most far-reaching is the fourteenth, ratified in 1868, which establishes a clear and simple definition of citizenship and guarantees equal treatment under the law. In essence, the Fourteenth Amendment required the states to abide by the protections of the Bill of Rights. Other amendments have limited the judicial power of the national government, changed the method of electing the president, forbidden slavery, protected the right to vote against denial because of race, color, sex, or previous condition of servitude, extended the congressional power to levy taxes to individual incomes, and instituted the election of US senators by popular vote.
The most recent amendments include the twenty-second, limiting the president to two terms in office, the twenty-third, granting citizens of the District of Columbia the right to vote; the twenty-fourth, giving citizens the right to vote regardless of failure to pay a poll tax; the twenty-fifth, providing for filling the office of vice president when it becomes vacant in midterm; the twenty-sixth, lowering the voting age to 18; and the twenty-seventh, concerning the compensation of U.S. senators and representatives.
It is of significance that a majority of the 27 amendments stem from continued efforts to expand individual civil or political liberties, while only a few are concerned with amplifying the basic governmental structure drafted in Philadelphia in 1787.
The Federal System
The framers of the Constitution had several clear-cut objectives in mind. They set these down with remarkable clarity in a 52-word, six-point preamble to the principal document.
The problem of building a “more perfect Union” was the obvious issue facing the 13 states in 1787. It was quite clear that almost any union would be more nearly perfect than that which existed under the Articles of Confederation. By developing another structure to replace it involved critical choices.
“…To Form a More Perfect Union”
All the states were covetous of the sovereign power they had exercised since the break with England 11 years earlier. Balancing states’ rights with the needs of a central government was no easy task. The makers of the Constitution accomplished th8is by letting the states keep all the powers necessary to regulate the daily lives of their citizens, provided that these powers did not conflict with the needs and welfare of the nation as a whole. This division of authority, which is termed federalism, is essentially the same today. The power of each state over local affairs – in matters such as education, public health, business organization, work conditions, marriage and divorce, local taxation, and ordinary police powers – is so fully recognized and accepted that two neighboring states frequently have widely differing laws on the same subject.
Ingenious though the constitutional arrangement was, the controversy over states’ rights continued to fester until, three-quarters of a century later, in 1861, a four-year war broke out between the states of the North and those of the South. The war was known as the Civil war, or the War between the States, and the underlying issue was the right of the federal government to regulate slavery in the newer states of the Union. Northeners insisted that the federal government had such a right, while southerners held that slavery was a matter for each state to decide on its own. When a group of southern states attempted to secede from the Union, war broke out and was fought on the principle of the preservation of the republic. With the defeat of the southern states and their reentry into the Union, federal supremacy was reaffirmed and slavery abolished.
“…To Establish Justice”
The essence of American democracy is contained in the Declaration of Independence, with its ringing phrase, “All men are created equal,” and the follow-up statements “that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among those are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
The Constitution makes no distinction as to the wealth or status of persons; all are equal before the law, and all are equally subject to judgment and punishment when they violate the law. The same holds rtue for civil disputes involving property, legal agreements, and business arrangements. Open access to the courts is one of the vital guarantees written into the Bill of Rights.
“…To Insure Domestic tranquility”
The stormy birth of the United States and the unsettled conditions along the American western frontier convinced Americans of the need for internal stability to permit the new nation to grow and prosper. The federal government created by the Constitution had to be strong enough to protect the states against invasion from the outside and from strife and violence at home. No part of the continental United States has been invaded by a foreign nation since 1815. The state governments have generally been strong enough to maintain order within their own borders. But behind them stands the awesome power of the federal government, which is constitutionally empowered to take the necessary steps to preserve the peace.
“…To Provide for the Common Defense”
Even with its independence secured, the new nation faced very real dangers on many sides in the late 18th century. On the western frontier, settlers faced a constant threat from hostile Indian tribes. To the north, the British still owned Canada, whose eastern provinces were jammed with vengeful American Tories, who had remained loyal to the British Crown during the Revolutionary War. The French owned the vast Louisiana Territory in the continental Midwest. To the south, the Spanish held Florida, Texas, and Mexico. All three European powers had colonies in the Caribbean Sea, within striking distance of the American coast. Moreover, the nations of Europe were embroiled in a series of wars that spilled over into the New World.
In the early years, the constitutional objective of providing a "common defense" focused on opening up the territory immediately beyond the Appalachian Mountains and negotiating a peace with the Native American tribes who inhabited the area. Within a short time, however, the outbreak of war with England in 1812, skirmishes with the Spanish in Florida, and war with Mexico in 1846 underscored the importance of military strength.
As America's economic and political power increased, its defensive strength grew. The Constitution divides the defense responsibility between the legislative and executive branches: Congress alone has the power to declare war and to appropriate funds for defense, while the president is commander-in-chief of the armed forces and bears primary responsibility for the defense of the country.
“…To Promote the General Welfare”
At the end of the Revolution, the United States was in a difficult economic position. Its resources were drained, its credit shaky, and its paper money was all but worthless. Commerce and industry had come to a virtual halt, and the states and the government of the confederation were deeply in debt. While the people were not in imminent danger of starving, the prospects for economic development were slim indeed.
One of the first tasks the new national government faced was to put the economy on a sound footing. The first article of the Constitution provided that: “The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes… to pay the debts and provide for the … general welfare of the United States.”
The tax power enabled the government to finance its war debts and to put the currency on a firmer basis. A secretary of the treasury was appointed to look after the fiscal affairs of the nation, and a secretary of state to handle relations with other nations. Also appointed were a secretary of war to be responsible for the nation’s military security, and an attorney general to act as the chief law officer of the federal government. Later, as the country expanded and the economy became more complex, the well-being of the people necessitated the creation of additional executive departments.
“…To Secure the Blessings of Liberty to Ourselves and Our Posterity”
The emphasis on personal liberty was one of the salient features of the new American republic. Coming, as many of them had, from a background of political or religious suppression, Americans were determined to preserve freedom in the New World. The framers of the Constitution, in giving authority to the federal government, were careful to protect the rights of all persons by limiting the powers of both the national and state governments. As a result, Americans are free to move from place to place, make their own decisions about jobs, religion, and political beliefs, and go to the courts for justice and protection when they feel these rights are being infringed upon.

Watermelons mean summer in most places, but perhaps no more so than in Florida, the country’s number one producer of this quintessential summer fruit.
They may be 92 percent water, but there’s more to growing and eating watermelon than you might think, say experts with the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
- Florida grows A LOT of watermelon
Florida watermelon farmers sold 800 million pounds of watermelon last year, said Bob Hochmuth, assistant director of the UF/IFAS North Florida Research and Education Center, Suwannee Valley.
“Watermelons are grown throughout the state, with concentrated acreage near Immokalee, Belle Glade, Arcadia and the Suwannee Valley. The Suwannee Valley produces a third of Florida’s watermelon crop,” Hochmuth said.
- Watermelon plants love sand
We’re not talking sandy beaches. “Watermelon grows best in well-drained sandy soils, which are common in areas with a lot of watermelon production,” Hochmuth said.
- Watermelons need pollinators
Like many fruits and vegetables, watermelon need pollinators to pollinate their flowers in order to reproduce. Without honeybees, native bees, wasps and the like, we would not have watermelon to enjoy, Hochmuth said.
- Watermelon farmers need science to do well
“UF/IFAS provides several key education programs for watermelon farmers throughout the year,” Hochmuth said. “Most importantly, UF/IFAS Extension agents make farm visits during the growing season to help with disease and pest identification, and other irrigation and fertilizer management decisions.”
- Watermelon is good for you
Watermelon generally considered a healthy food because of its high water content, which means each serving is relatively low in calories, said Samantha Kennedy, family and consumer sciences agent with UF/IFAS Extension Wakulla County.
“Most are unaware that it contains any protein or fiber, but it does, and many are surprised to learn that it has a decent amount of potassium,” Kennedy said.
- It’s a versatile ingredient
While most are familiar with eating watermelon by the slice, there are many ways to include the fruit in your snacks and meals, Kennedy said.
“Add chunks of watermelon to a fresh summer salad for a bit of sweetness, or combine pureed watermelon with frozen lemonade and lime juice for a refreshing drink. You can also throw watermelon slices on the grill for a few seconds for a different twist on a familiar flavor,” she said.
- Get them while it’s hot
Watermelon is in season during the hot summer months, Kennedy said. In season produce is generally cheaper and of better quality because it doesn’t have to travel as far to get to the consumer.
- Look for heft, balance and a yellow spot
“The Watermelon Board recommends that consumers look for a melon that feels heavy for its size, and looks and feels symmetrical,” Kennedy said. One side of the watermelon should have a creamy, yellow spot—this is where the melon rested on the ground as it ripened.
The mission of the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences is to develop knowledge relevant to agricultural, human and natural resources and to make that knowledge available to sustain and enhance the quality of human life. With more than a dozen research facilities, 67 county Extension offices, and award-winning students and faculty in the UF College of Agricultural and Life Sciences, UF/IFAS works to bring science-based solutions to the state’s agricultural and natural resources industries, and all Florida residents.

In the movies, justice is a miracle -- an anomaly that occurs when a handful of heroic individuals triumph over the ineptitude, complacency and corruption that pervade an overtaxed criminal justice system. But in real life, justice is more like a balky machine -- a clunky, somewhat improvised affair that frequently falters in the face of human frailty but also rewards operators who show patience and faithfully follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Or at least that's how a 28-year-old mother of four named Natasha Vanwasshenova walked out of the Oakland County Jail this week after 14 months of incarceration for a crime she didn't commit.
Vanwasshenova was turning tricks for a small escort service based in Dearborn in the winter of 2010 when a client who had paid her to provide sex and heroin dropped dead in her presence.
In a panic, she telephoned her employer, who urged her to flee the client's house. Instead, she called 911 and stayed on the phone, applying CPR per the dispatcher's instructions until paramedics arrived and declared her client dead.
In an interview with police, the shaken prostitute readily admitted processing a credit card payment for heroin and oral sex. A toxicologist's exam confirmed the presence of heroin in the dead man's bloodstream, and a pathologist in Oakland County Medical Examiner's Office ruled the illicit narcotic the primary cause of death.
So no one was particularly surprised when Rochester Hills District Judge Nancy Carniak bound Vanwasshenova over for trial on a charge of delivering the drugs that had apparently precipitated her client's death -- a life felony.
"I don't fault Judge Carniak," said Charles Toby, the 75-year-old attorney appointed to represent the indigent Vanwasshenova. "Based on the evidence presented at the preliminary hearing" -- the prosecution's most important witness was Deputy Medical Examiner Ruben Ortiz-Reyes, who reiterated his certainty that heroin was the cause of death -- "she really had no choice."
Still, Toby -- one of fewer than 60 criminal defense attorneys certified to accept court appointment in life felony cases -- was troubled by Ortiz-Reyes' admission that one of the dead man's coronary arteries was 95% blocked, and that his heart had been enlarged, a frequent sign of coronary failure.
And what about the police report, which suggested that Vanwasshenova's client had drank alcohol, lolled in a hot tub, taken a cold shower and participated in sex immediately before dying?
Kirit Patel, the chief of cardiology at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital and a longtime acquaintance of Toby who examined the medical examiner's report at the lawyer's request, thought the evidence pointed to a fatal heart attack -- a hypothesis he assured Toby could be confirmed by a microscopic examination of the decedent's heart tissue, if any still existed.
Suddenly, conclusive evidence that the medical examiner's office had erred in attributing the death to heroin was dangling within Toby's reach.
He petitioned Oakland County Circuit Judge Leo Bowman for permission to hire Patel -- at the taxpayer's expense of $3,500 -- to render an expert opinion contesting the ruling.
There were, at this point, still plenty of potential obstacles to Vanwasshenova's exoneration:
• Bowman might have denied the request. What claim did a heroin-hawking hooker have on taxpayers' sympathies, much less their wallets?
But Bowman authorized Toby to engage Patel, albeit at a reduced fee of $2,000.
• Assistant Oakland County Prosecutor Michael Goetz, to whom Toby dispatched a letter detailing Patel's skepticism about the cause of death, might have left it to jurors to sort out the medical experts' conflicting claims.
Instead, he consulted his supervisor, John Skrzynski, who asked Oakland County Medical Examiner Ljubisa Dragovic whether the office could conduct the microscopic tests Patel believed would provide a definitive answer.
• Dragovic might have demurred, citing the expense of the extra tests, pointing out that it had been within Ortiz-Reyes' discretion not to order them, or pleading that the heart tissue required had been discarded; many medical examiner's offices lack the resources to preserve tissue recovered in an autopsy for more than six months.
But when Dragovic presided over the construction of a new office 13 years ago, he demanded sufficient storage to preserve every specimen for a minimum of 10 years.
"So of course we had the heart tissue, and of course we performed the test," he told me Wednesday.
• Finally, Skrzynski and his boss, Oakland County Prosecutor Jessica Cooper, might have tried to discredit the new evidence that their victim had died of a simple heart attack, as some of their predecessors have sought to discredit exculpatory evidence in the past.
Instead, they moved to drop the life felony charge in exchange for Vanwasshenova's plea to delivery of a controlled substance.
And so a miscarriage of justice was averted. A mother of four was released after time served, and the clunky machinery of justice chugged on.
The process may be torturous, "but anybody who is accused still stands a chance to be viewed in a different light based on the patient development of the evidence," said Dragovic, who immigrated to the U.S. from the former Yugoslavia half a lifetime ago.
"Actually," he added, "it's one of the big reasons I came to this country."

Home › Forums › Products › Stompboxes › MIDI Moose and 3 Factor › Reply To: MIDI Moose and 3 Factor
I watched the video about setting the PF to change the other 2 pedals and got that to work. Although the programmed changes may not be what I want.
I want to be able to do things like a Moose preset/program that triggers 25:2 only. And another Moose preset/program that triggers 25:2 with some TF. Or another that has 25:2 with TF and MF added.
That's the part I can't figure out yet: How to connect the TF and MF to receive MIDI commands/preset choices from the Moose via the Pitchfactor and 'link' a PitchFactor preset to turn on a specific MF or TF preset via MIDI.
Sorry if I'm not using the correct. I grew up in the world of Ampeg and tape. This is all new.

Hyatt Regency Delhi taken to bankruptcy court: Report
Continuum Energy told the NCLT that the hotel defaulted on a power purchase agreement that was signed two years ago.
January 16, 2021 / 03:45 PM IST
Hyatt Regency Delhi has been taken to bankruptcy court by Morgan Stanley-owned Continuum Energy.
Continuum Energy told the National Company Law Tribunal (NCLT) that the hotel defaulted on a power purchase agreement that was signed two years ago, The Economic Times reported.
Under the contract, the hotel was obliged to draw electricity from a Continuum hydro power plant located in Himachal Pradesh.
The hotel failed to procure an open access licence from the electricity regulator to enable the power supply, the report said.
Hyatt has an outstanding payment of Rs 2.5 crore towards Continuum Energy, the report said court filings.
Continuum Energy's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Arvind Bansal confirmed the bankruptcy filing to the paper.
Hyatt Regency Delhi, owned by Asian Hotels (North) Ltd, told The Economic Times that Continuum's application is "frivolous".
"Regrettably, Sandhya Hydro company has not honoured on several counts having executed the agreement, including terms of supply & on aspects of captive compliance(s). Despite our claims of amounts owed, Sandhya Hydro, without assigning any plausible reason, stopped power supply to our company, which has prompted an appropriate civil action from our side," said an email from the office of Shiv Jatia, Managing Director of Asian Hotels North.

A leading international counter-terrorism expert from Israel has issued a warning to Australia about the success rate of deradicalisation programs.
Professor Boaz Ganor, from the International Policy Institute for Counter Terrorism, has told a meeting in Sydney only a minority of deradicalisation cases work.
"I don't believe in deradicalisation in general terms because once those people have been radicalised, it is practically impossible to uproot those ideas in their heads," he said.
"However, I'm a great believer in prevention. A lot can be done in the education and religious systems to prevent those people who might be intrigued."
Professor Ganor was speaking at a forum organised by the New South Wales Parliamentary Friends of Israel and the NSW Jewish Board of Deputies.
NSW Opposition frontbencher and deputy chairman of the parliamentary group Walt Secord said it was the difficult job of legislators to understand what programs work.
"I don't know what the answer is," he said.
"What do we do as legislators? Do we strip citizenship for foreign nationals if they fight for listed terrorist groups?
"Which programs work? It's an issue jurisdictions around the world are grappling with."
Professor Ganor said prevention was the key.
"We need to understand how terrorist groups such as Islamic State are recruiting young men and women," he said.
He said violent computer games might be fuelling some young people's desire for a so-called 'adrenaline' rush.
"Being offered by representatives of ISIS to do those barbaric things in real life — the adrenaline works.," Professor Ganor said.
Mr Secord said as legislators, one of the most important challenges is weighing up the advice of police, intelligence services and academic experts to deal with the issue of terrorism.
"Australia is touched by Islamic extremism and terrorism — in this sense we are not an island," he said.

In this paper, we develop a new flexible method for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy decision-making problems with cosine similarity measure. We first introduce the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy cosine similarity measure based on the notion of the weighted reduced intuitionistic fuzzy sets. With this cosine similarity measure, we are able to accommodate the attitudinal character of decision-makers in the similarity measuring process. We study some of its essential properties and propose the weighted interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy cosine similarity measure.
Further, the work uses the idea of GOWA operator to develop the ordered weighted interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy cosine similarity (OWIVIFCS) measure based on the weighted reduced intuitionistic fuzzy sets. The main advantage of the OWIVIFCS measure is that it provides a parameterized family of cosine similarity measures for interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets and considers different scenarios depending on the attitude of the decision-makers. The measure is demonstrated to satisfy some essential properties, which prepare the ground for applications in different areas. In addition, we define the quasi-ordered weighted interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy cosine similarity (quasi-OWIVIFCS) measure. It includes a wide range of particular cases such as OWIVIFCS measure, trigonometric-OWIVIFCS measure, exponential-OWIVIFCS measure, radical-OWIVIFCS measure. Finally, the study uses the OWIVIFCS measure to develop a new decision-making method to solve real-world decision problems with interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy information. A real-life numerical example of contractor selection is also given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the developed approach in solving real-life problems.

Heathrow flights axed amid storm
About 60 flights have been cancelled at London's Heathrow Airport tomorrow due to the expected storm.
An airport spokesman said the cancellations were made to give passengers advanced information about their flights ahead of the expected disruption caused by strong winds and heavy rain.
" Following consultation between the Met Office, air traffic control and airlines, all parties have agreed to reduce the number of flights operating tomorrow to ensure the safety of passengers and employees," the spokesman said.
Approximately 30 flights will be cancelled from 6-11am, 20 from 11am-4pm and 10 from 4-10.30pm.
The cancellations are a combination of arrivals and departures.
On an average day, 1, 288 flights operate at Heathrow.
British Airways said it would cancel some short-haul flights but hoped long-haul services in and out of the airport would continue as normal.
Gatwick, Stansted and Luton airports urged passengers to keep up to date with the status of their flights, although there were no cancellations by 7.30pm tonight.
A Bristol Airport spokesman wrote on Twitter: "All flights currently operating and passengers advised to check in as normal - but please allow extra time for your journey."
Budget airline easyJet warned passengers there could be disruption to flights on Monday.
It added that it had been advised there would be no trains running to Gatwick, Southend, Stansted or Luton airports before 9am on Monday.
After this time, the schedule will be reduced.

Immigration Detention Conditions
Advocating for Community-Based Alternatives to Immigration Detention
” . . . the realities of confinement are indisputably bleak, regardless of whether individuals are considered detainees or criminals.” —Nayha Arora (JD ’16) reflects on the conditions immigrant detainees face similar to that of incarcerated convicted criminals.
During my quarter in the Immigrants’ Rights Clinic, I have had the opportunity to both represent an individual client in her case and research policy issues that affect the immigrant community broadly. One of these issues is immigration detention. In March, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) began moving immigrant detainees from facilities in Sacramento and Yuba to the newly-opened Mesa Verde Detention Facility, a private detention center run by the GEO Group located in Bakersfield, California. Together with our clinic supervisor, my classmates and I drove roughly five hours from Palo Alto to Bakersfield to visit the new facility in mid-May.
Under the law, immigrants in removal proceedings are detained if they are considered flight risks or dangers to public safety. Detainees are not criminals, however. I was interested to see whether this distinction influenced the conditions and operations of the detention facility.
We were greeted at Mesa Verde by the Warden, his assistant, and two officers. They gave us a tour of the facility, which feels and looks similar to some county jails. The grounds of Mesa Verde are surrounded by a barbed wired fence. When detainees enter the facility, all their belongings are taken from them, and they are given a uniform. Detainees’ activities and schedules, from recreation to visitation, are all subject to facility approval and carefully monitored. Medical resources are limited, as well; the medical unit employs only one part-time physician, dentist, and psychiatrist for 400 people.
Personally, I was most struck by the silence in the hallways, communal spaces, and dormitories. Recreation areas and the library were vacant, and there was little chatter or interaction among individuals. The tour confirmed for me that the realities of confinement are indisputably bleak, regardless of whether individuals are considered detainees or criminals.
Detention and confinement present innumerable challenges in detainees’ day-to-day lives. As long as immigration detention is an accepted practice, however, I am hopeful that government, private prison companies, and immigration advocates can secure the highest standard of representation and treatment for immigrant detainees.
