Having attended the temperance lecture of Dr. J.W. Watts for the last two weeks, as reporter on temperance movements in the Valley south of Salem; and also on the material resources of Linn and Lane Counties, I beg leave to state to the readers of your journal, that we came to Eugene City on the 1st inst. and the Dr. lectured for 5 consecutive nights in the Court House here to a large attentive and orderly audience. On Sunday the 5th he preached a bible discourse on temperance in the M.E. Church of this City to a large assemblage of people. These lectures have been listed to with great interest, as they were highly Scientific, logical and scriptural. He is very plain and unostentatious — in his manner; has a powerful voice, which rings out in clear tones to the farthest part of the room, and he seems to feel that the cause which he advocates is for the welfare of our race. Space will not permit me to give a record of each night’s doings, at the Court House here, though I keep such records. I will give the names of the Board of Officers of this blue ribbon club of Eugene City.
President — Professor Thomas Condon, Secretary — Mr. J.H. McClung, Chorister — L.G. Adair, Ex committee; Mr. B.F. Dorris, Mrs. J.H. McClung, Mrs. L.G.Adair, Rev. S.C. Price, Mr. Woody.
The President of this club announced last evening, that their first regular meeting would be held at the M.E. Church on next would Wednesday evening at 7 o’clock. The whole number now enrolled in this club in Eugene City is 575. No other blue ribbon club in Oregon equals this number here. This afternoon we go to Creswell, and thence to Cottage Grove, Drains Station, Oakland and Roseburg. Eugene city Jan 9, 1879 David Newsome.” Oregon State Journal (Eugene OR), Jan 11, 1879, pg. 5, col. 3. University of Oregon Knight Library Newspaper Collection.
The Eugene population about a year later when the 1880 census was taken was 1117 persons. So with enrollment of Blue Ribbon Club at 575 puts their membership to over 50% of the inhabitants of the city. Quite an impressive number wanting a dry Eugene!

This observation shows a series of parallel layers eroding into peculiar knobs and hills.
These sedimentary rocks were imaged on the floor of a large crater located at 8.8 degrees North, 358.3 degrees East. Similar rock units are found within several nearby craters also imaged by HiRISE, as seen in images PSP_001902_1890, ESP_013611_1910, and PSP_002733_1880. The occurrence of similar layers in each of these locations may indicate that they were once part of a much more extensive geologic unit that has now been largely eroded away.
One particularly interesting aspect of the layers in this image is their repetitive nature. Each layer appears to be nearly the same thickness throughout the outcrop, as has also been observed in other nearby layered units. This cyclic nature points to a formation process which occurred repeatedly, building up the deposit layer by layer. However, the exact formation mechanism and the climate cycle possibly responsible for forming the layers here remain unknown.
Studying the record exposed in rocks like these can help reveal secrets of the ancient Martian climate.
The University of Arizona, Tucson, operates the HiRISE camera, which was built by Ball Aerospace & Technologies Corp., Boulder, Colo. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, manages the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter for the NASA Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Lockheed Martin Space Systems, Denver, is the spacecraft development and integration contractor for the project and built the spacecraft.

The class action lawsuit, being brought by US attorney Damian Fernandez, alleges that Apple (opens in new tab) has created a monopoly that stops other mobile phone networks from offering the iPhone (opens in new tab) for sale in the US. The same thing, of course, applies here: O2 (opens in new tab) is the UK's only iPhone provider.
The lawsuit also takes Apple to task for a software update that 'bricked' (broke) thousands of iPhones which had been hacked to work on other mobile networks and allow the installation of third-party applications.
The lawsuit conveniently forgets however that every iPhone owner has effectively signed an End User Licence Agreement (EULA). This expressly says that by modifying or using third-party software on the device you will invalidate its warranty. Apple has widely and very publicly made this limitation known. It's also something that's not out of keeping with the rest of the consumer electronics or computing industries.
iPhones 'bricked': hacked or not
It also fails to mention the fact that some owners of unhacked iPhones also had their devices 'bricked' with the software update. This is something that points to bugs in the software rather than a deliberate act of sabotage by Apple.
However the tie-in to a single network abroad and in the UK will be the source of consternation among some would-be iPhone buyers. O2 may be the biggest mobile network in the UK, but it also has indifferent mobile coverage in parts, while its EDGE coverage (just 30 per cent) is lamentable.
Still, what the California man, New York woman and every other hacker seems to forget is that nobody forces you to buy an iPhone - you take on the risks and limitations when you buy the device.
If you want a smartphone you can hack with third-party apps and use on any network, go buy something else.
The UK version of the iPhone goes on sale here on Friday 9 November.

After spending so much time and seeing so many things in North and South America, I realized recently that I had somehow overlooked the massive land bridge (full of unique and interesting countries) that connect these two phenomenal continents. I have always wanted to learn to surf as well as it seems to be an important skill to have while on this planet. Riding on the top of waves and coasting at top speed, is an adrenaline rush that I have placed high upon the life to-do list.
There’s nothing like traveling in good company
When I found out that one of my main comrades, Ex Australian military diver Billy Barnetson, would be in this neck of the woods, we quickly concocted this Nicaragua exploring/surfing adventure. I met Billy on the first day of our world trip in 2007 in Buenos Aires. Together with the legendary Benny Vears we traveled through Argentina into Patagonia, spent months in Bolivia and Peru together, did some serious Amazon trekking, skied in Canada (Fernie) for a month, and have connected multiple times in NYC. Billy traveled for three years, which included a 15 month stint as the dive master on a giant yacht owned by one of the richest Russian Oligarchs on the planet. He sailed through the Mediterranean, was attacked by pirates in the Suez Canal–and surfed in the Maldives for three months. He has also done some overland touring in Jamaica and Cuba (embedding with locals), climbed Mt. Aconcagua (the highest mountain in South America and four of Bolivia’s highest mountains, and has done all kinds of craziness through South East Asia. In short, Billy is as interesting, and as solid of a human being as they get—and an advanced overland traveler. He is also the lightest packer in the entire world (not verified by Guinness just yet) , traveling with a 10 pound backpack “max”. I didn’t check but I think he only brought two pairs of shorts and 2 shirts for the entire trip.
Starting out in Granada (and a bit on Nicaragua)
I rolled into Granada, a colonial town in SW Nicaragua, solo and without accommodation. I stumbled into a historic, beautiful colonial hotel called the Hotel Spa Granada run by an American named Mitch from upstate New York. He had bought the 15-room house 12 years earlier after the Sandinistas were ousted from power. It was built in the 1889 by one of the presidents of Nicaragua–and was nothing short of spectacular. I shot a quick little video.
Hanging with Mitch, and wandering through the narrow streets of Granada I downloaded a lot of information about Nicaragua’s history into my brain. For example, do you remember when Ronald Regan and the CIA sold arms to the Iranians to fund the contras (guerrillas fighting the socialist Sandinistas) in Nicaragua?
Yeah, well I kind of forgot about all this until my foray through Nicaragua. It’s amazing how much you learn and retain when you travel overland through different countries.
The 80′s were a different time and back then I did not have an understanding of the cold war at the time–as I was 6 when all of this was going on. But the Russians were behind the rulers of Nicaragua–and we were doing everything we could to get any Russian backed governments out of power. Hence all of that nonsense, and hence the devastation that Nicaraguans have endured to their infrastructure, economy, and way of life.
Fast forward to present day and tourism has been a huge force in Nicaragua’s recovery. But, Nicaragua is still very poor, and developing albeit slowly. Everything is mega cheap. More so than most Latin American countries I have visited, with the exception of Bolivia. It is encouraging to see how many tourists are flocking to Nicaragua. It is touted as the safest country in Central America–even safer than Costa Rica.
San Juan Del Sur
After a few days in Granada, which included an unsuccessful bout climbing Mombacho volcano (you have to take a truck to the top, so we couldn’t even try to climb it), and a party in a remote tree house hostel, we hopped in a 2 hour cab to San Juan Del Sur to spend New Years and surf.
San Juan Del Sur, a oversized surfing village on the southern Pacific coast, was overflowing with tourists and locals in town. For the first few days we were there, there were rolling blackouts. The lights would die every couple of hours for 3 minutes, and then turn back on. I guess the power grid could not handle the power of this NYE tourist wave. The town was quaint, but the real thrill was the surrounding beaches.
Enter Baby Turtles and Giant Surf Boards
Little did we know that watching tiny little baby turtles racing to the sea was going to come in to play. But we had the opportunity to go out on a tour to the beach one night to see these tiny, little, baby Olive Ridley turtles hatch up and run to the sea. Only 1 out of 100 survive. Billy and I watched these little guys race for their lives, although once they get into the sea is where it gets super scary for them, enter sharks and fish and other things that will feast on them until they are big enough.
And I am proud to announce, that I learned to surf…. kind of. If surfing means getting up on the surfboard, then I was definitely surfing. If surfing means staying on that said surfboard for long periods of time then I have a long way to go. My surfboard was easily 30 feet long; it was the size of station-wagon, and god speed to anyone that might have found themselves in the way of my long-board from hell. I know a few things now about surfing that I didn’t know before (although I had been out a few times unsuccessfully in Mancora, Peru and the Galapagos).
1. Surfing is completely exhausting: Seriously, I would be in the water for 20 minutes and just trying to catch three waves is exhausting.
2. Surfing is for compact people, not 6 foot 4’ people with enormous wingspans
Nonetheless, getting smashed by Nicaraguan waves and occasionally getting up to ride on one was glorious. I especially liked it when I didn’t eat sand at the end of my ride. I am headed to Australia soon for Benny’s wedding in Sydney, and will be visiting Byron Bay, and will no doubt get to improve on this burgeoning new skill in my metaphorical life tool-belt.
I think New Year’s Eve at San Juan Del Sur summed up much of the charm we experienced as Billy and I experienced the beginning of 2013 standing on the beach. While there was no major celebration or central fireworks, there must have been 30mini (or personal) fireworks display surrounding San Juan Del Sur. Nicaragua was a blur of sunsets, Tonia beers, rolling blackouts, and very loud Reggaeton. But the people of Nicaragua were warm and friendly everywhere we went. They love life and have a zest for it. The food, especially in Granada was much better than I thought it would be. It was great to be back in a country that loves tourists so much. It reminded me of Colombia in a big way. Countries that are on the newer side of tourism, reaping new foreign investment, seeing their economy boost as a result really do have a different attitude towards tourists. The appreciation is refreshing. I love Peru but the locals do not have the same attitude towards visitors (they are a bit over it).
This trip brought a rush of memories back from my 2007 trip backpacking overland through South America. There is nothing like extended travel to knock you into the present moment. Its much tougher to experience in just an 8 day trip–but there were flashes of that ever present, ever connected feeling that came into being during our Nicaraguan adventure–most memorable were the sunsets at Hermosa and Maderas beaches, where absolutely everyone stopped what they were doing and absorbed natures finest show in the sky. We had such a solid trip, but we definitely were not there long enough. I feel like to properly experience what Nicaragua has to offer, a month is the magic number. Still on the to do list down there is: Corn Island, Ommeteppe, Leon, and the jungle. But alas, I am grateful to have had learned so much about the country in such a short period in time, to have actually stood up on my ginormous surfboard, and to have brought in the New Year with one of my favorite people on the planet.

ALEX BRUMMER COMMENT: King needs tools for the job
Criticism: Mervyn King claimed he was not consulted on the Government's White Paper, which is due to come out in the next few days
We may finally gain sight of the much debated Banking White Paper in the next few days. This is the document which is meant to set a new blueprint for British finance on which Mervyn King, the governor of the Bank of England, very publicly claimed he had not been consulted.
At the time of his complaint King almost certainly was correct. The excuse in Whitehall was that it was very much a draft document with sections scattered across Whitehall so it was not just King but Ministers who had not seen the final item.
What really upset King was not so much that a draft copy had not arrived on his desk with a blue ribbon tied around it, but the content.
Much of the document is likely to be uncontroversial. It will be the Treasury's chance to analyse and explore the causes of the financial crisis which brought the global economic system crashing down.
It will find that the banking regulator, the Financial Services Authority, was wanting (an understatement to say the least), and conclude that the failings were largely macro-prudential, to use the fashionable term.
No one was monitoring the whole picture properly from the build up of leverage in the economy to the creation of new-fangled financial instruments like credit default swaps (the insurance for debt), off balance sheet vehicles and the whole edifice of 'shadow' or 'casino' banking.
Whether it will have the courage to point out that this was because the so called Tripartite, the three-headed hydra of the Treasury, the Bank of England and FSA, is deeply flawed is unlikely.
It is a matter of faith for Gordon Brown that separating the Bank of England from day-to-day regulation of the banks was essential if the Old Lady was to become a monetary powerhouse with a similar reputation and respect as the Bundesbank.
In times past BoE failures over regulation of Johnson Matthey Bank, rescued in the 1980s, Bank of Credit and Commerce International, which was closed in 1991, and Barings, which fell over in 1995, were still very fresh in the public mind.
But the 1997 decision to remove the BoE's responsibilities for banking regulation failed to recognise one thing: that the Old Lady, like the Federal Reserve and Bundesbank, was closest to financial markets.
Through its money market operations it dealt with banks and financial institutions each day.
It had unique access to market intelligence, and early warnings of the impending implosion of Barings (which was closed down without shutting down the financial system) came through the central banking network with a tip off from the Basle-based Bank for International Settlements.
It is this simple operational fact which makes it essential that at the very least macro-prudential supervision of the banking system is clearly returned to the Bank of England (as advocated by George Osborne and the Tories), and that consideration be given to returning all to complex bank supervision.
Instead, the government has decided to re-empower the FSA by strengthening its governance and making it the first line of defence.
The Bank will have overall responsibility for financial stability and the powers to intervene in hard cases but will be the back-up rather than the leader.
There will be an effort to meet the governor's complaints. The Bill will seek to tackle the 'too big to fail' argument with the so-called 'written will'.
Under this every complex bank - such as Barclays - is required to put in place a plan which would allow it to close down one part of the bank, say Barclays Capital, without disturbing the stability of the rest.
This is what a new insolvency regime for banks is meant to deal with. But it sidesteps the critical issue of whether the taxpayer should have a role in propping up banks engaged in exotic activities, aimed at enriching executives, rather than benefiting investors and the greater public good.
The second dispute relates to what kind of tools the Bank needs at its disposal.
As the regulator of financial stability, the Bank would like to have the ability to impose special capital requirements, act to control asset prices, intervene to gain information about dodgy transactions and so on.
But these are the very powers which it does not seem to be gaining at present.
The excuse is that the UK is still waiting to see the outcome of the international talks with many of these issues unsettled.
What is absolutely clear already is that the President Obama wants the Federal Reserve to be primus inter pares in dealing with future financial crises.
If Britain still believes that the Anglo-Saxon economic model has value then it should follow the American lead and give Mervyn King the tools he needs.

Officials ID victims in Laredo plane crash that killed two
The two victims of Thursday's deadly plane crash in Laredo have been identified.
Robert Christopher Marshall, 19, and Kelle David Hein, 56, were aboard a small plane when it crashed at the Laredo International Airport grounds, according to Webb County Medical Examiner Corinne Stern.
They were the only two in the plane. Both were pronounced dead at the scene.
Marshall was a student at Baylor University and Hein was the preacher of the Family Baptist Church in Laredo.
At approximately 10:39 a.m. Thursday, the Laredo Police and Fire departments received reports of a downed plane. Authorities found the crash site behind Iglesia Cristiana Emmanuel and Quality Reflections Glassworks in the 6400 block of Polaris Drive.
Robert R. Marshall, of Bruni, and his wife, Amy Marshall, are the registered owners of the aircraft, according to Federal Aviation Administration records. He is the CEO and president of Marshall Aviation, an on-demand charter service for passengers and freight aircraft. The Marshalls are also members of the Webb Consolidated ISD school board.
The twin-engine Piper PA-31 was attempting to return to the runway after smoke was reported coming from the aircraft's left engine, according to Lynn Lunsford, Federal Aviation Administration spokesperson.
Airport firefighters responded to the blaze within seconds of the crash, said Investigator Joe E. Baeza, Laredo Police Department spokesman.
The National Transportation Safety Board will be the lead investigating agency.

A mobile ordering app built by computer science students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln may help local restaurants and shops feeling the economic brunt of the coronavirus pandemic better connect with their customers.
Brim is being offered free the next six months, according to developers Luke Bogus and Jacob Peddicord, students in the Jeffrey S. Raikes School of Computer Science and Management.
The digital app allows customers to order meals or drinks to-go from their favorite local restaurants and coffee shops and pay right from their phone.
"From the inception, we didn't really see it as a business opportunity, we always looked at it as a really cool way for students to help our community," Bogus, a junior management and marketing major from Columbus, told Nebraska Today.
"We really want to help people in need right now, so that's why we're offering it for six months completely free," he added.
Peddicord, a junior computer science major from the Kansas City metro area, said he got the idea after talking to Randy Hawthorne, executive director of Launch Leadership and a founder of The Foundry, about the need for a better mobile-ordering app.
People are also reading…
"The more I looked, the more I realized this was something that not only was there not a great solution out there for, but I thought that I could build a solution that met his needs better myself," he said.
The app launched last August, and is used by four businesses in Lincoln and Omaha. It is available for customers on mobile app stores.
Beginning in March, the number of inquiries Bogus and Peddicord fielded more than doubled as businesses closed their doors to stem the spread of COVID-19 in Nebraska.
Check out the Journal Star's guide to delivery, drive-thru and curbside pickup services.
The pair is working to add curbside pickup options to the app and expect to have the feature rolled out in a couple of days, Peddicord said.
"It's fun as people who are interested in running businesses to be able to help other people through times like this with a solution we were able to make," he said.

For a league that plays six months a year, the NFL is a round-the-clock operation and it’s never too early to look into the near future. The league has been gamely nicknamed by its players as “not for long” anyways, so let’s get into the fun stuff right away.
Patrick Mahomes is the man of the hour, having led the Kansas City Chiefs to its second Super Bowl victory in franchise history, leading a stunning fourth-quarter comeback that will forever be immortalized through the magic of NFL Films. Spoiler alert: I see sustained greatness from Mahomes, even if it’s not altogether a bold take.
If high school was disappointing for you, have no fear, these superlatives will be a lot more fun! I take a look at the NFL’s top offseason storylines and make some predictions that I’m sure won’t come back to haunt me by next spring.
Where will Tom Brady end up?
This isn’t a fun prediction per se but Brady will remain with the Patriots. New England’s commitment to winning by any means necessary, along with the institutional knowledge Brady has accrued within its system — hell, he might be the system — makes it nearly impossible to fathom him playing elsewhere.
Bill Belichick and Ernie Adams would’ve built a stronger contingency plan if they anticipated Brady leaving anytime soon, with Jarrett Stidham and Cody Kessler ill-equipped to take over as the presumptive starter. None of the options in free agency would be appealing to Belichick, but then again, predicting what him and Adams are up to is a fool’s errand.
If not the Patriots, I could see the Chargers making a move. But really, I’d be shocked if this is the end for Brady in New England.
What will be the biggest free agency signing?
Miami will sign Jadeveon Clowney to a six-year, $120-million contract, which falls short of equaling Aaron Donald’s six-year, $135 million deal as the largest ever given out to a defensive player in NFL history, but addresses a glaring need. Perhaps by design, since the Dolphins unleashed one of the most blatant tanking campaigns in the history of the sport, they finished dead last in pass rush DVOA — a metric designed by Football Outsiders to take into account down and distance when weighting their real output. Clowney recorded just three sacks, but also notched four forced fumbles in 13 games and his blazing speed off the line is nearly unrivalled.
Clowney hasn’t been the generational defensive talent anticipated when he was selected first overall in 2014, but when healthy, he is one of the NFL’s most feared edge rushers and deservedly earned three consecutive Pro Bowl selections from 2016-2018. Miami has all the cap space in the world and will throw money at Clowney, which he won’t be able to refuse.
Which team will be the most surprising?
This prediction might backfire on me, but let’s give it up for the 2020 Cleveland Browns. Everything that could’ve gone wrong under Freddie Kitchens did in 2019. Odell Beckham Jr. posted the worst season of his career while playing through the majority of it with a sports hernia, Jarvis Landry never saw eye-to-eye with Kitchens, while the offensive line barely gave Baker Mayfield any time to breathe in the pocket.
I’ve gone this far without mentioning Myles Garrett, who committed one of the most stunning acts in NFL history, swinging his helmet at an unguarded Mason Rudolph on Nov. 14 and was suspended indefinitely.
Kitchens has been fired and replaced by former Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski, Garrett was reinstated Wednesday, while Beckham, Landry and Nick Chubb — the team’s lone standout in 2019 — will be freed up in a more innovative offense. They might not unseat the Ravens in the AFC North, but it would be somewhat surprising if the Browns don’t at least compete for their first playoff berth since 2002. Plus, who doesn’t want to see Beckham and Landry bust out “Get The Gat” after wins?
Which team will be the biggest disappointment?
This question always acts as a function of expectation management but considering their pedigree as a perennial playoff contender, the Seahawks will be the biggest disappointment in 2020. Football Outsiders listed Seattle with 8.2 pythagorean wins — a representation of a projection of the team's expected wins based on points scored and allowed — which had them functioning closer to the Buccaneers than the 49ers.
Russell Wilson is incredible and there’s a reason why he was the leading MVP candidate for large stretches of the season before Lamar Jackson figuratively and literally ran away with the award. Although Wilson has never suffered as a result, Seattle’s failure to invest in its offensive line will hinder its progress. Seattle’s top-heavy structure which relies so heavily on Wilson, Bobby Wagner, K.J. Wright and the remains of its 2013 Super Bowl will finally come back to haunt them, but what a run it was.
Next year’s most fun team will be...
If I’m strictly taking into account on-field performance and style, this superlative would clearly belong to the Chiefs. However, it’s difficult to root for them as star wide receiver Tyreek Hill and Frank Clark have some gruesome domestic violence records, and since they play such a large role on the defending champions, it wouldn’t feel right to select them here.
I’m doubling down on the Ravens as a result. Lamar Jackson revolutionized the league with his unmatched running ability, showing the elusiveness of Barry Sanders in the open field, while dicing opponents up with 36 passing touchdowns. Jackson won NFL MVP unanimously for a reason during his age-22 season and he’s won everything but a Super Bowl. I’m all in on “big truss” with another season of Jackson, Mark Ingram, Gus Edwards and co. running all over teams at a historically proficient level.
And now, onto my way-too-early awards predictions.
MVP: Patrick Mahomes. In what will be the closest MVP race in NFL history, Mahomes will edge out his counterpart Jackson for the league’s highest individual honour, his second win in three years. If it weren’t for a dislocated kneecap, Mahomes would’ve pushed Jackson and Wilson for the award, and we’ve seen how explosive he is, even while playing a rough three quarters in Super Bowl LIV. We’re all just living in his world.
Offensive Player of the Year: Lamar Jackson. This award is often given to the NFL’s second-best quarterback, even if it should be doled out more proportionately to the league’s best non-quarterback. That’s not our problem, however, and while Michael Thomas will fight valiantly to recapture this honour once again, Jackson will win it, serving as a consolation prize after losing the MVP to Mahomes.
Defensive Player of the Year: Tyrann Mathieu. For the first time since 2009, the NFL handed out this award to a defensive back with Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore emerging victorious. Although there are a host of edge rushers — Nick Bosa, Von Miller and Khalil Mack namely — along with Aaron Donald constantly vying for the award, it’ll go to a defensive back again as Mathieu will be recognized for his all-world talent. Functioning as a box linebacker, safety, slot cornerback and anything else the Chiefs need, Mathieu’s status will be amplified, winning the lone award he hasn’t captured during his iconic career.
Super Bowl: Ravens over Saints. In a moment that will reflect the NFL’s old guard in Drew Brees and its bright, tantalizing future in Lamar Jackson, the Ravens will use their record-breaking rushing attack to wear down a deep, talented Saints’ front seven.
Earl Thomas will make just enough plays to stop the Saints’ ferocious passing attack, and Jackson will have his Super Bowl title to match Mahomes, teeing up an individual rivalry that evokes Larry Bird-Magic Johnson or Lionel Messi-Cristiano Ronaldo, if you’re looking for something more contemporary.

Addressing a joint press conference with his Russian counterpart at the Presidential Palace in Helsinki after their summit, Trump said that there was "zero collusion" and that he ran a "clean campaign".
"What we're all anxious about coming out of this summit is that Putin is going to feel emboldened", Hampson said.
And in a press conference on Monday with Mr. Putin at his side, Mr. Trump dismissed his own intelligence chiefs' conclusion that Mr. Putin himself oversaw the effort to damage Mr. Trump's Democratic election rival Hillary Clinton. "We haven't seen an American so owned by a Russian since Rocky IV".
Trump has come under fire for seemingly favouring Russian Federation, a U.S. adversary, over North Atlantic Treaty Organisation allies.
Wallah noted meanwhile, that Trump is not annoyed from the current situation, "as he considers that the USA forces who are deployed overseas pose economic burden on Washington".
USA lawmakers criticized Trump for missing a good opportunity to confront Putin on the election meddling.
Earlier on Monday, Trump endorsed Putin's stance on Russia's non-involvement in the 2016 United States presidential election, insisting that he ran a clean campaign.
"Russia is a menacing government that does not share our interests and it does not share our values", he said.
"President Putin says it's not Russian Federation".
Toomey, R-Lehigh Valley, didn't mention Trump by name in his statement but instead attacked Putin.
Asked by Stephanopoulos whether he believes Putin has compromising information on Trump, Flake said, "I have a hard time believing that".
Kinzinger, an Air Force veteran who served in Iraq and Afghanistan, said he stands by the intelligence community's assessment that Russian Federation interfered in the 2016 presidential election. "All the more as the United States will host the World Cup in 2026".

For The Herald
When New York-based rating agency Moody’s raised Washington state’s credit rating last month, it marked our state’s first upgrade in 22 years and the first time Washington earned the agency’s highest mark.
As one of the primary budget writers in the Legislature, I found Moody’s reasoning behind the upgrade — strong fiscal governance, healthy reserves and exceptional economic growth — a ratification of the many tough decisions we had to make in our most recent budgets. It was also a validation of the fiscal practices my Democratic colleagues and I have adopted since retaking control of the Senate in 2018.
And it was a further confirmation that Washington’s economy — from our innovative tech industry to one of the most diverse agricultural sectors in the nation — is creating a sustainable, robust cycle of economic activity.
Moody’s rating is critical because, much like individual consumer credit scores, the state’s finances and credit rating help determine how we fund major investments such as new roads, classrooms and community gathering places.
Moreover, our status among other elite states with triple-A credit ratings means we can make critical investments people need by securing financing with lower interest rates, as there is much less risk that the money will not be repaid.
That puts our state in a stronger position to complete robust projects around the state, whether it’s new infrastructure to improve salmon habitat or funding to construct a new behavioral health teaching hospital in Seattle over the next decade.
All of these projects are necessary to move our state forward, and our state’s strong fiscal health enables us to move even faster.
Moody’s report also noted that our credit rating hit the gold standard at the same time that the Legislature made historic increases in K-12 education funding in response to the McCleary decision. That’s something every lawmaker and resident should be proud of: squaring the critical needs of our state with a responsible, balanced budget.
The good news from Moody’s comes at a time when many economists are watching markets closely for signs of another recession. It has been a decade since the Great Recession forced lawmakers in Olympia to slash services and cancel projects around the state. For those of us who were serving in office at the time, that was long and painful stretch of history we do not wish to repeat.
Since then, we have not only recovered from the Great Recession, we have further fortified our state’s financial reputation and reserves — now $3.5 billion — to the point that our credit rating has reached its highest level in history.
As our economy continues to thrive, our primary challenge is to protect our fiscal health in the face of an uncertain global economy and the increasing impacts of climate change. We must be able to remain nimble through strong budget reserves, smart investments in the next generation, and strategic improvements that help make our communities and our natural resources stronger and more resilient.

The Two Accused were arrested few days later for fighting under the influence of alcohol. Cops found the connection with the murder of Arif Imamuddin while carrying out the deportation formalities. Following which, They were lodged in Riyadh Jail.
Saudi Authorities hadn't informed the Indian Embassy in Riyadh prior to the executions. Information about the executions has been given only after Satwinder Kumar's Wife Seema Rani moved a petition. Saudi Officials sent a letter in which they informed Satwinder Kumar and Harjeet Singh were arrested on December 9th, 2019 for killing Arif Imamuddin.
Appeals made to bring back the mortal remains to India went in vein. As per Saudi Laws, Bodies of those executed won't be handed over to their families.

That file you downloaded may seem innocent: a generically numbered video or a photo with a one-word label.
But the images inside may be sinister and illegal.
As a Cedar City football player attempts to defend himself against felony charges for what he claims is unintentional possession of child porn, experts warn that peer-to-peer file sharing carries the risk of downloading criminal material and can land users in a justice system that may have little patience for "accidents."
Cameron Morgan, now 22, was a sophomore at Southern Utah University in September 2010, when investigators with the state Attorney General’s Office flagged his household’s Internet account as a "download candidate" for child-pornography files on LimeWire, a file-sharing program that has since been shut down by a federal judge. According to court documents, Morgan told investigators he used LimeWire to access adult pornography by searching terms such as "hot girls," downloading everything on the results page and then viewing the contents later.
Morgan said he had come across child pornography, but he deleted it, investigators wrote. According to court documents, investigators identified 12 files containing child pornography and filed charges in connection with 10 of them; Morgan allegedly claimed that any child pornography still on his computer got there unnoticed in a larger download.
Pattern and volume » That explanation is plausible, said Hanni M. Fakhoury, an attorney specializing in technology for the digital civil liberties advocacy group Electronic Frontier Foundation.
"LimeWire is, for better or for worse, a way by which you can obtain a ton of stuff very quickly," Fakhoury said. "Many people do label their child porn descriptively, but lots of people just bunch files together: ‘Look, here’s a big batch of adult porn.’ ... If you download 100 files, you may look at the first 10 and just leave the rest in a folder somewhere."
But that defense may not hold up in court, said Fakhoury. State and federal child-porn statutes require the government to show only that a defendant "knowingly" possessed the material.
"It doesn’t matter whether [a defendant] actually viewed them or whether he saw the file name and just left it alone — that’s enough" to satisfy the requirements of the charge, Fakhoury said.
The Iron County prosecutor’s office reviewed Morgan’s case in 2011 and declined to prosecute. County Attorney Scott Garrett said only that the evidence was insufficient and would not discuss which elements of the crime would be too difficult to prove to a jury. However, he did say that in most child-pornography cases, he looks for evidence that will not leave jurors wondering whether possession was deliberate.
"What we like to look for is patterns so you can prove intent," Garrett said. "We look for search [terms] ... and volume."
Volume is notably absent in Morgan’s case, said his attorney, Keith Barnes.
"This is the first case where I have seen or represented someone charged for this offense with a few images … found on a computer. I’ve had a number of clients in state and federal court on child pornography. They’re in the hundreds or thousands of images found. Clearly on those, there’s a pattern. There’s a number of downloads, and the computer is … full of child porn. This, we’re talking about an alleged 10 images of child pornography pulled off the computer in question."
Fakhoury, a former public defender in federal court, agreed.
"I’ve seen cases where people have tens of thousands of files," he said. "Part of the reason is, it’s very risky to go after those types of files. If you get one, you’re going to keep it. That’s typically the pattern I’ve seen."
Investigators and prosecutors from the state Attorney General’s Office declined to comment on Morgan’s case, including whether they found more illicit files than were indicated in the charges or why he was charged two years after the investigation.
‘Negative repercussions’ » Even if possession of child pornography amounts to little content, it may be hard for a defendant to sell jurors on the claim that he did not notice anything suspicious in the files’ labels.
"If the files themselves have names that leave little to the imagination," Fakhoury said, "it’s going to be more difficult for him to argue he didn’t know what the actual files were."
In the charges against Morgan, investigators identified two images and a video with explicit file names containing terms such as "Lolita" "preteen," "underage," "childporn" and "pedo." Nine others were labeled only with numbers or with the word "girlfriends."Next Page >

A sandwich is a sandwich. But a naanwich, well, that's a phenomenon that has popped up all over the nation as Americans warmly embrace the South Asian clay oven bread known as naan.
No longer restricted to Indian restaurants or ethnic grocery stores, the airy and supple flatbread is now proffered in the bread aisles of Whole Foods, Trader Joe's and even many large grocery chains. Meanwhile, Sabri Naanwich shops serving their trademarked dish have risen all over Canada, and chefs in this country offer several non-trademarked versions of the inevitably named sandwich.
Still, the mainstreaming of naan (which rhymes with John) comes as a mixed blessing to Indian culinary authority, teacher and cookbook author Julie Sahni.
On one hand, "it shows the growing familiarity with Indian culture," she said. But on the other hand, some packaged versions in the bread aisle "can be just horrible -- dry, bready and so expensive, nothing at all what naan was ever supposed to be like."
Indeed, this clay-oven bread, which came to India from Central Asia with the 16th-century Mogul emperor Babur, is supposed to puff up like a crisp, tender pastry quilt and emerge from the oven in less than a minute. Pulled apart and devoured hot, naan should taste "like a dream and need nothing else on it," Sahni said.
But can that dream be re-created at home?
The answers are yes and no. Sahni and her fellow Indian cooking expert Monica Bhide agreed that commercial versions can cook up nicely. "I especially love the Pillsbury frozen naan," Bhide said.
Scratch versions, however, can be a bit more complicated. Even though they are fairly easy to assemble, some require long rising times, and no one seems to agree on how best to duplicate the intense radiant heat of a tandoor, the traditional clay oven. Various suggestions include using a pizza stone, bricks in the oven, a hot toaster oven, a cast-iron pan, a barbecue grill or a broiler.
We tested a few recipes and cooking methods and found that the fastest and tastiest recipe came from Madhur Jaffrey's "Indian Cooking." It includes a combination of yogurt, yeast, egg and baking powder to create a fluffy, elastic dough that rose in about an hour.
"You can't compare it to bread from a tandoor," said Jaffrey, who shares her recipes and food memories in her recent memoir "Climbing Mango Trees." "But I worked hard to develop a recipe to make a dough that is smooth and silky to make the bread stretchy and chewy, as it should be."
Adapted from Madhur Jaffrey's "Indian Cooking." If you would like a darker bread, place 3 to 4 inches from a heated broiler for 30 seconds after the bread is baked.
2/3 cups hot milk
2 teaspoons each: extra-fine sugar, active dry yeast
3 ¾ cup flour
1 teaspoon each: salt, baking powder
2 tablespoons vegetable oil plus more for bowl
2/3 cup plain yogurt, lightly beaten
1 large egg
Melted butter, optional
Put milk in a bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of the sugar and all of the yeast. Stir to mix. Set aside until the yeast has dissolved and the mixture is frothy, 15-20 minutes.
Sift the flour, salt and baking powder into a large bowl. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of sugar, the yeast mixture, 2 tablespoons of the vegetable oil, the yogurt and the egg. Mix; form into a ball of dough.
Knead dough on a clean work surface until smooth and satiny, about 10 minutes. Form into a ball. Pour about ¼ teaspoon of oil into a large bowl; roll the dough in it. Cover the bowl with a piece of plastic wrap; set aside in a warm, draft-free place until the dough has doubled in bulk, 1 hour.
Heat oven to 500 degrees. Heat a heavy baking tray (or an upside down cast iron skillet) in the oven. Punch down the dough; knead it again. Divide into six balls. Keep five covered while you work with the sixth. Roll ball into a tear-shaped naan about 10 inches long and 5 inches wide.
Remove the hot baking tray from the oven; slap naan onto it. Put it immediately into the oven for 4 minutes. It should puff up. Keep the naan warm by wrapping it in a clean kitchen towel; repeat with remaining dough. Serve hot after brushing with melted butter, if you like.

Ok, here is what I am attempting.
I have a map (2D array) of the inside of a building for part of my project. The 'working' areas of this map are corridors etc. This working area is divided into zones and there are interfaces between each zone. So for example there could be a corridor zone and a room zone with the doorway as the interface. The interfaces also double up as waypoints, I just assigned 2 different names in case I got confused. Here are the classes I have contructed:
As I hope can be determined, a zone has a vector of all it's intefaces (A corridor can have many rooms and other corridors attached to it). The waypoints class has 2 pointers to zones (one zone either side).
void set_w_coordinates(int pos_x, int pos_y, int a);
void setup(int num_squares, zone &a, zone &b);
int number_of_squares, number_of_interfaces;
void setup(int a, int b);
void set_coordinates(int i, int pos_x, int pos_y);
void set_interfaces(waypoints b);
bool IsInZone(int x, int y);
int GetSquareCoordinate(int i);
vector <waypoints> interfaces;
I am trying to implement a search algorithm that, given start and end coordinates, will populate a vector of zones with the correct sequence of zones (assuming only one route is possible) to get from start to finish.
I have begun a function here:
GetZone() returns the zone containing the coordinates given.
FindZoneRoute(int startx, int endx, int starty, int endy)
vector<zone *> zone_route;
for (vector<waypoints>::iterator wi=GetZone(startx,starty).interfaces.begin(),wi != GetZone(startx,starty).interfaces.end(),wi++)
GetZone1() and GetZone2() return the pointer to zone1 or zone2 respectively held in the zone class.
CompareZones() returns true if the zones passed into it are the same. The if(!CompareZones()) is used so that I don't end up going backwards.
Please bear with me if I clearly haven't got a clue or if my code sucks, I don't know if I am in the right forest, yet alone barking up the right tree!
Any help or guidance would be great, I am lost on this. Thanks

Plainfield schools name three adminstrators
September 4, 2012 7:28PM
Updated: October 6, 2012 6:04AM
PLAINFIELD — Three veteran educators and administrators are taking new leadership posts for Plainfield School District.
The school board tabbed Dan Thorse, the current director for middle school administration and personnel, for the assistant superintendent for administration and personnel position. He replaces Darlene von Behren, who took a new position in another district.
Thorse has served in his current role since 2006. He joined the district in 2004 as the first principal at Ira Jones Middle School, coming from Naperville, where he was assistant principal at Lincoln Junior High from 1996 to 2004.
Thorse started his education career in 1983.
The board named Ed Boswell, principal of Ira Jones Middle School, as the new director for middle school administration and personnel.
Boswell started his education career teaching social studies and language arts at Oswego’s Traughber Middle School 1995 to ’99. Boswell also coached various high school and middle school athletics while in Oswego.
He came to Plainfield in 1999 as the dean of students at Heritage Grove Middle School, and was named assistant principal at Ira Jones Middle School in 2004.
Boswell has also co-led the district’s Bullying Task Force since 2010.
Finally, the board named Plainfield Central High School math and science division chair Jamie Soliman the new associate principal. She replaces Darcie Kubinski, who accepted a new position in another district.
Soliman started her education career at Central as a math teacher in 1999. She has also coached girls tennis and track, and has served as the school’s yearbook adviser.


A 650-750 Watts power supply unit is fine for a system with 1080 Ti SLI (2-way). To run a computer with GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SLI in it, it will need a powerful motherboard that needs more power than usual motherboards.
Basically, the minimum power supply requirement for 1080 Ti is 600 Watts with one 8-pin and one 6-pin power connector. But here we are talking about the SLI configuration, and 750 Watts serves the best for 1080 Ti SLI Power Requirements under normal load.
We are going to concentrate more on 2-way 1080 Ti SLI in this article as it is the most usual one. For your information, 1050W PSU for 3-way 1080 Ti SLI and 1300W PSU for 4-way 1080 Ti SLI are suggested. Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti supports up to 4-way SLI. However, 1080 Ti SLI 3 or 4-way are not usually seen.
What Are the Power Requirements of Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 Ti SLI?
SLI technique has turned out to be quite a common usage among gamers. Thus any discussion on power requirement without breaking it down to the number of GPU cards used disregards much of the story. Therefore, let’s check out the power requirements for each way.
2-way 1080 Ti SLI Power Requirements
The thermal design power (TDP) of a GeForce GTX 1080 Ti is rated as 280 Watts, the same as 980 Ti and Titan X. Thus, a moderate system with 2-way 1080 Ti SLI needs at least 650 Watts to run the computer. To be safe, you can use a 750 Watts power supply unit to run the whole system properly.
Overclocking a single GTX 1080 Ti needs more than its usual power requirement. As a result, to overclock the GTX 1080 Ti SLI, you should need more than 750 watts. As a powerful motherboard is also needed to overclock the GPU, to run all the components along with the 1080 Ti SLI, 900W will be a safe option.
3-way 1080 Ti SLI Power Requirements
Though a 3-way 1080 Ti SLI rig is usually not seen, it is also an effective SLI configuration. A 3-way GTX 1080 Ti SLI needs around 930 Watts of PSU. To avoid any harm, it is a viable option to use a 1050 Watts PSU for 1080 Ti Sli (3-way).
4-way 1080 Ti SLI Power Requirements
It is advised to have a 1300 Watts PSU for 4-way 1080 Ti SLI. But actually, it needs almost 1177 Watts to operate. But as 1177W is a little too near the edge, so to be safe experts suggest using a little higher wattage PSU than needed.
Should You Consider The Power Efficiency Rating?
Efficiency rating measures how much DC power it transmits to the PC vs how much is lost to heat. Efficiency is vital since it determines how much you will pay to keep your computer running. The more efficient PSU you have, the cooler your components will be. Thus, an efficient PSU will keep your GPU healthy.
In the case of 1080 Ti SLI, your PC needs 750 watts PSU. If you use a 750 Watts PSU with 85% of efficiency, the PSU will consume around 882 Watts of power. When you use a 70% efficient PSU, it will take around 1071 Watts of power from the wall. So choosing the more power-efficient PSU will save cash.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What happens when the PSU is less than 750 watts?
A little less than 750 Watts may not harm your PC, but less than the PSU of recommended wattage will surely do. If the GTX 1080 Ti SLI can not get enough power from the PSU, it will show unusual behaviors.
What are the signs of 1080 Ti SLI is not getting enough power?
The most common signs of 1080 Ti’s power lack are – Poor 3D performance (even though 1080 Ti SLI is great at 3D visualization), crashing games, frequent restart or shutdown of the PC, and freezing during gameplay or playing video.
What is the 80 PLUS Certification?
The 80 Plus certification indicates that a power supply is at least 80% efficient at 20%, 50%, and 100% loads. At 100 percent load, a 500W 80 Plus rated PSU would draw a maximum of 625W. Anything less than 80 Plus is not suggested because of the comparatively minimal cost premium and benefits they bring.
As experts suggest, at half the PSU load (50% usage) your PSU is the most energy-efficient. Certainly, we list it down the same for 1080 Ti SLI power requirements. Considering the fact, 750 Watts for your 1080 Ti SLI is both energy-efficient and adequate for the system.
