Wis. regulatory board reopens ethics investigation into DA who sent racy texts to abuse victimBy Ryan J. Foley, AP

Wis. regulators reopen ’sexting DA’ investigation
MADISON, Wis. — An agency that declined to discipline a prosecutor for sending harassing text messages to a domestic abuse victim reopened its investigation Friday amid mounting criticism and new allegations of misconduct.
The Office of Lawyer Regulation is restarting the probe into Calumet County District Attorney Ken Kratz because new information appears to show “a pattern of conduct” by Kratz, said the agency’s director, Keith Sellen.
“The OLR will investigate all the allegations that have been made against District Attorney Kratz,” Sellen said in a statement, after staying silent on the matter for more than a week.
The announcement comes after the agency received biting criticism from Gov. Jim Doyle and other elected officials, who questioned how it could have failed to sanction Kratz earlier. Since The Associated Press broke the text messages story last week, at least two other women have made similar allegations of misconduct against Kratz.
Kratz has admitted sending provocative text messages last year to Stephanie Van Groll, calling her a “hot nymph” and asking if she was “the kind of girl that likes secret contact with an older married elected DA.” At the time, Kratz was prosecuting her ex-boyfriend, who was accused of choking her in a jealous rage.
In December, Kratz told the OLR that he sent the text messages. The agency closed the case without a formal review in March, saying the messages were inappropriate but did not amount to professional misconduct.
A law student in Oklahoma told AP this week she received similar messages from Kratz in 2008 shortly after receiving his support for the pardon of an old drug conviction. Doyle pardoned the woman last month, and said he is outraged Kratz tried to use his pardon power to strike up a relationship.
Another woman who met Kratz on an Internet dating site complained to Doyle’s office last week that Kratz invited her to an autopsy after they went to dinner in January, “provided I act as his girlfriend and would wear high heels and a skirt.” Kratz has denied that allegation — which the governor called “unimaginable” — through his attorney.
Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, whose office had asked the Office of Lawyer Regulation to revisit the case, praised its decision.
“Today’s announcement shows that OLR has listened to these concerns and is willing to give the allegations against District Attorney Kratz the attention they deserve,” he said.
A message left with Kratz’s attorney, Robert Craanen, seeking comment was not immediately returned Friday. In an interview Wednesday, Craanen had defended OLR’s conclusion and said it was a strong watchdog.
Kratz went on medical leave Monday for treatment for an undisclosed reason.
The decision by the agency, which can seek to reprimand, suspend or even disbar Kratz, could severely undermine his attempts to retain his job. Kratz has cited its March finding of no violation as proof his conduct wasn’t that serious, and indicated he planned to make it a key part of his defense to remain district attorney.
Through her attorney, Van Groll told the Office of Lawyer Regulation this week that she would cooperate if the case was reopened.
Van Groll, 26, went to police last October after receiving the 30 text messages from Kratz over a three-day period.
The state Department of Justice took over the prosecution of her ex-boyfriend, but determined Kratz did not commit a crime. Officials pressured him to resign last December as chairman of the Wisconsin Crime Victims’ Rights Board, a post he held since 1998, and to report his conduct to the Office of Lawyer Regulation.
Doyle this week started a rarely used process to try to remove Kratz from office for cause. Van Hollen’s office is acting as the special prosecutor, and asked the public Thursday to come forward with any information about misconduct by Kratz. A status conference in the case is set for Monday, and the governor hopes to make a decision in 30 days.
Meanwhile, the crime victims’ panel met Friday but stayed mostly quiet on its handling of the case. Kratz has said he told the board about his text messages to Van Groll when he resigned in December, and the board has faced criticism over failing to act against him.
The board, which can sanction officials who mistreat victims, has said it did not act because it did not receive a complaint against Kratz. Board lawyer Bruce Olsen added another explanation Friday, saying it has no power to sanction Kratz over allegations of “sexual harassment or gender discrimination.”
State law says crime victims must be “treated with dignity, respect, courtesy and sensitivity” and have the right to receive information about cases and testify at sentencing hearings, among other things. The board’s charge is to enforce those rights by sanctioning public officials who violate them.
Olsen said that Kratz’s resignation from the board happened during a closed session, and the board needs to call another meeting to decide whether it can discuss that issue in public since it was not on Friday’s agenda.
Olsen said the oversight was partly to blame because the panel had been without a leader until Friday, when Trisha Anderson was selected chair. The board met in closed session to discuss other cases after a contentious session with a pack of reporters.
“We’re not trying to stonewall in any way,” Olsen said, before later cutting off questioning and telling reporters to leave.

For someone who quit her 9-to-5 job, whose one of the goals was to see more of Indonesia, it’s safe to say I fail miserably; at least to achieve them in the last year.
Sure, I spent a month in the Island of Gods, Bali, last year. Then there was a weekend getaway in Lombok and the Gili Islands earlier in May this year. But among the approximately 18,000 islands in Indonesia, I have only seen a fraction of this beautiful country I am proud to call home.
So imagine my delight when I was invited on a trip to Tanjung Lesung, a quiet peninsula on the West Coast of Java, in the province of Banten. Finally, a chance to see a bit more of Indonesia! While I have been to this side of the country – mainly to visit the beaches such as Carita or Anyer back in the school days, and later to Umang Island a few years ago – I have never visited Tanjung Lesung and the surrounding areas of the Ujung Kulon National Park.
I joined the trip with five Indonesian travel bloggers consisted of Trinity (The Naked Traveler), Rini, Mumun from Indohoy, Barry, and Harris ; all very passionate about travelling and almost every one of them has seen more of Indonesia than most people I know.
After a three-hour drive from Jakarta, we arrived at Tanjung Lesung Resort around lunch time and checked into our accommodation for the next three days, at Kalicaa Villa a 3-bedroom spacious villa, that comes with open air lounge and kitchen, and a private swimming pool. We all had big grinds on our faces at the thought of lounging and relaxing by the pool for the next three days.
But before all that, we were called for lunch at the seaside Club Villa restaurant with this view.
The resort spreads across an area of 1500 ha, surrounded by several beaches, with parks built around the area. With facilities such as restaurants, a beach club (with snorkeling gear and boats available for use) as well as spacious outdoor area to take a walk or ride on a bicycle, the resort makes a great weekend getaway spot.
A few of us went on bicycles to explore the resort while the rest, that included me, went off for the afternoon to swim by the beach club. Now, I didn’t expect to see this view coming in, maybe because I never thought such scene would exist on the island of Java, having been to places like Bali and Lombok.
But it does.
View from the resort’s beach club
Around 5pm we moved to Bodur Beach, another gorgeous beach on the site, in time to watch the sunset. The sunset that evening, despite a little cloudy, was still mesmerising.
Sunset over Bodur Beach.
Some of us often get so engrossed in taking pictures, that we actually forget to just enjoy and be in the moment. I took a few shots of the sunsets, and later put down the camera, sat on the bench staring at the sun as it went down disappearing into the horizon. Just gazing at the empty space. Stillness. Until my travel buddies, all in the water, giggling and chattering, excitedly called out encouraging me to jump in. I obliged.
I think the last time I swam in the sunset was that one afternoon in Bali on Balangan beach, with a friend. That was almost two years ago, and I had forgotten what it felt like.
If there was one blissful moment from this trip, it was this – swimming in the ray of light, feeling the white soft powdery sands on my feet as I was standing on the soft sea base, with waves came gently crashing on to us, all laughing in joy, being in the moment.
As if we weren’t spoiled enough with the beaches on the first day, the next day we were welcomed by this view as we docked on Peucang Island, an island that would usually take an hour to an hour and half from our resort. The wind was quite strong on that day that our trip took slightly longer, as our boat captain navigated his way through the rough sea. It took us about two and a half hours to cross the strait.
But what a sight to welcome us.
I was telling my travel buddies that the best beach I have seen so far in Indonesia would have to be the ones I saw Gili Air, one of the Gili Islands off Lombok. Obviously, they have seen more of these pristine beaches having travelled to the eastern side of Indonesia, but Peucang Island beach, as we all agree, would rate pretty much up there as the best beach for the west side of the Java region. It has super clear water – check out the photo of a jelly fish I saw in the gallery – and soft powdery sand, that actually made me want to lie and roll around on it.
As much as I wanted to do that, we had some exploring to do on the island.
Peucang Island is part of the Ujung Kulon National Park, declared as one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites. We went trekking through the forest, 6km trek that saw us walking past some of the craziest looking trees, simply because they are hundreds years old and a sweet looking wild deer.
It took us one and half hours to reach the top of the cliff, overlooking “Karang Copong”, a big piece of rock that looks more like a tiny island in the middle of the sea. We spent about an hour up at the top before we headed back down to the beach for lunch.
I had wished that we spent the whole day on the island just lie on the white sand beach and swim in the clear water, but on our next to do list was snorkeling, which in fact excited me more since I’ve missed diving for quite some time – yes, I realise it’s not quite the same, but it was good enough to see the underwater. We did this about half way between Peucang Island and our resort, at a site called Cimayang.
I dreaded the boat ride back to the resort as the sea was rough, even worse than when we left the resort; bumpy ride, strong wind and waves up to probably two metres high, water splashing in the boat and all – you name it. All I could think of then was my DSLR camera, not being in a dry bag, a rookie mistake one might say. But luckily, while I wasn’t so dry, the camera was when we got back safely to the resort.
The last day at the resort was spent lazying around before we were due to head back to Jakarta after lunch. We repeated the first day experience of swimming in the sea, off the beach club and added snorkeling this time since it was high tide. I was very pleasantly surprise at how much there was to see snorkeling, not far from the dock by the beach club. I saw butterfly fish, trumpet fish, trevali, some puffer fish even some clown fish. It was only when I saw a trigger fish that I decided to head back to the shore. Every time I see a triggerfish, I am reminded of that dive trip in Amed, Bali, when a pregnant triggerfish attacked me. I thought it was funny at the time (it got my fins instead of my ear), but knowing how bad it could have been, the sight of a triggerfish has become a trigger of that memory (yes, pun intended) and always made me a little nervous.
Since the sensation of feeling the white sand on your feet while swimming was so pleasurable, we went for another dip at Bodur Beach. In day light, as opposed during sunset, you could see how blue and clear the water was.
We made the most of that swim, and I was reminded again on how beautiful Indonesia is, with all these hidden gems. And I still have a long way to go to explore the rest of them.
Note: I visited Tanjung Lesung Resort as a guest of PT Jababeka Tbk, the holding company behind Tanjung Lesung Resort. However all opinions expressed above are all mine

Parents should not discuss school teachers with their children because this undermines the authority of the teachers. Adults who conduct such discussions are setting the wrong example for children, Education Minister Olga Vasilyeva said.
She noted that "there should be deep understanding between parents and school, and between school and parents." According to the minister, "there should also be clear lines where each side cannot go."
“And you become, and I become a witness of the fact that conflict situations are taking place somewhere - among parents and teachers. And what is especially regrettable for me and for you is that children are involved in these conflicts,”Interfax quotes Vasilyeva as saying during a dialogue with the parent community.
She also emphasized that in her family it was “simply impossible” to discuss teachers with children, and thanks to this, the teacher's authority was indisputable.
Earlier, as reported by News.ru, the State Duma proposed to give teachers a year's leave every five years. This is necessary in order to exclude their "professional burnout".

UNITED STATES—Several hundred migrants have started to arrive at the U.S. border in the city of Tijuana, Mexico. Several buses arrived with over 350 passengers overwhelming authorities in Tijuana when a second group close to the same size arrived behind them.
The first group flanked the fence in a celebratory manner. A couple dozen dared to scale the fence. Time magazine reported that one migrant was seen dropping over to the U.S. side briefly, as border agents watched nearby. The individual quickly ran back to the fence.
Tijuana’s head of migrant services, Palencia Chavez offered to take the migrants to shelters, but they refused.
“They wanted to stay together in a single shelter,” said Palencia. “But at this time that is not possible.”
Department of Homeland Security, Katie Waldman informed Fox News, “As we have said repeatedly, being a member of a caravan doesn’t give you any special rights to enter the country.”
“If they arrive at a Port of Entry, they will have to wait in line in keeping with the lawful processes at our Ports of Entry. If they attempt to enter illegally, they will have violated U.S. criminal law and in accordance with the President’s proclamation and the Interim Final Rule they will be ineligible for asylum,” she added.
Jose Vargas, an immigrant from Honduras who has been on the road for the past month said, “Mexico has been excellent. We have no complaint against Mexico. The United States remains to be seen” he told KDRV.

Dawn of Midi
Channelled madness – the sound Dawn of Midi spent years shaping, culminating into their most mesmerising work yet
With Dysnomia, the Brooklyn-based group Dawn of Midi abandons improvisation in favour of composition, utilising sophisticated rhythmic structures from North and West African folk traditions to weave a sonic tapestry of trance-inducing grooves. From close up one may see only dots, but when stepping back an undulating image reveals itself. “We didn’t want to create anything cerebral,” says Belyamani, “we wanted something visceral, something that would awaken our instinctive dance impulses.”
Having met at California Institute of the Arts in Los Angeles in 2006, bassist Aakaash Israni, pianist Amino Belyamani and drummer Qasim Naqvi found their original rapport through late night tennis matches on the campus court. The chemistry they founded there eventually led them back indoors to improvise together; something they did in total darkness to deprive themselves of all their senses except the crucial one – their hearing.
The manner, by which a trio of solely acoustic instruments ends up sounding like electronic music, has to do with the unconventional ways the group play their instruments on Dysnomia. The record comes to life in the trio’s critically acclaimed live shows, a test of endurance and trust that involves performing their hand-looped acoustic minimalism note for note, just as the compositions were recorded. Dawn of Midi’s sets are as energetic and rhythmic as a seamlessly mixed DJ-set, mesmerising fans in the same way the group’s favourite experimental and electronic acts have for decades.

“It was difficult to find more than a handful of House Republicans who would join with us” in opposing trade deals, Tonelson said. “We think we’ve got significantly more fertile ground. But we do have a lot of work to do because this movement’s Washington presence is also lobbying them on trade.”
So is the business community, which won’t readily cede any ground to opponents of the South Korea agreement or other free-trade deals.
“A lot of these Members said things on the campaign trail or didn’t say things on the campaign trail. From our perspective, they’re all kind of a blank slate,” said Christopher Wenk, a top trade lobbyist for the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. “The chamber and business community have been aggressively reaching out to all of them and setting up meetings with individual Members.”
Last week, the chamber, the National Association of Manufacturers and others helped organize a trade briefing for about 75 staffers through the Republican Study Committee. The chamber has also met with Berg and another GOP freshman who has taken a high-profile, pro-trade stance: Rep. Francisco “Quico” Canseco (Texas).
“There are no better lobbyists of freshmen than Members of Congress themselves,” Wenk said, noting that the majority of freshmen are open to supporting trade.
“The bottom line is trade is back on the agenda in a major way, and we’re very excited about what’s possible on the trade front this year,” Wenk said.

There is shakeup in the administration of Hartford Mayor Pedro Segarra. Jared Kupiec, Segarra's chief of staff, is resigning. Kupiec's resignation comes after a series of political missteps -- including one in which he used his city credit card to pay for a New Year's Eve dinner for Segarra, the mayor's spouse, and others. The dinner was at a high-end downtown restaurant and included champagne and caviar.
Both Segarra and Kupiec declined interviews. But in emails released by the city, Kupiec says he was moving on to prepare for a career outside of politics, possibly in the law. Meanwhile, Segarra is bringing in Juan Figueroa as a special advisor. Figueroa recently ran for and lost the Democratic nomination for governor.
Shawn Wooden is the city council president. He welcomed the move, and said that Kupiec and the mayor's administration showed a "pattern of bad judgment." And that bad judgment takes a toll.
Wooden: It undermines credibility with city leadership, it undermines credibility with those that we are reaching out to to help Hartford.
Cohen: And had you lost confidence yourself in Jared?
Wooden: Yes. John Kennelly is a friend and advisor to Segarra. He knows Kupiec well.
"I know he felt that he wasn't being as effective as he felt a chief of staff should be." And, Kennelly said the series of reports about Kupiec -- from the New Year's Eve Dinner to a pay raise last year -- got to be distractions. "When you're talking about that stuff and you're not talking about the budget, and you're not talking about economic development, and you're not talking about the schools, that's a problem."
This also gets to the debate over the role of the chief of staff to begin with. David Panagore worked for the administration until last year as it chief operating officer. He says that, regardless of the personalities, there's a basic conflict in the city charter between chief operating officer and the mayor's chief of staff. Panagore says that causes constant irritation. "Both are direct reports to the mayor, neither is differentiated as being in charge, and the responsibilities overlap."
And now, as Kupiec departs and Segarra calls for a recalibration of his administration, figuring out who is in charge may be more important than ever.

Keeping true to the tradition of making classic material, Bay Area native son Jonah Melvon is initiating the most cutting-edge musical movement to emerge from the region in decades.
Born in San Francisco to a mother who migrated from New Orleans and father from Chicago, Jonah moved to Lake Merritt in Oakland before he could barely walk. He explains how he is son of the Bay Area altogether; “My dreams were cultivated in Oakland. My discipline was cultivated in San Jose, and I lived all over the Bay Area,” he reflects.
With a charisma that cannot be defined, old school soul and a message mixed in with his mesmerizing melodies, his music draws people to him with a familiar flare that makes people fall in love with his smooth swag. And he puts his talents on full display with the recent release of full-length album Rain Water Project and three lead singles “What’s Good for You,” “1099” and “Thinkin of You.”

The Duke of Cambridge met a woman who went from being homeless to a world champion powerlifter as he presented awards to young people who have defied their troubled backgrounds to become "beacons of hope" for others.
William was joined by celebrities Jonathan Ross and Sara Cox at a glittering ceremony in central London to honour young people who have overcome homelessness to turn their lives around, helped by the charity Centrepoint.
Among them was Monique Newton, who was recognised for her sporting achievements.
The 23-year-old, from Fulham, was thrown out of home at 15 and after two years of being homeless was admitted to the Priory for mental health issues.
After treatment the charity gave her stability, a home, and the chance to discover a love of weightlifting - and now she is a four-time world champion, breaking a host of British and European records along the way.
As well as training twice a day, Ms Newton works for a charity which offers activities and services for other youngsters, including providing 3,000 meals for homeless people.
She said: "I don't know where I would be without Centrepoint. Everyone has the potential to do whatever they want, but not everyone has the courage or determination.
"But if you put your mind to it you can do anything."

Fourth of July parades are so filled with tradition you might not notice changes from year to year. But to participants, each parade is special. They love the cheers from the crowds — and they’re ready for the heat of the day.
“We’ve seen the Towson parade grow from small into mammoth,” said John Ziemann, president of Baltimore’s Marching Ravens. About 35 of the 150-member band will march on Friday, just as the band has for more than 20 years — since back when they were known as the Batlimore Colts Marching Band. “We used to wear full dress uniforms — jacket, long pants, hat — that we use now for games,” Ziemann said. “We learned our lesson the hard way. People were dropping from the heat. So we have a summer uniform of purple polo shirt with the band logo, black shorts, white socks, white tennis shoes and a Ravens baseball cap. You have a lot less people dropping.”
And that isn’t all, he notes. “We have an equipment truck that follow us with water, Gatorade, our own paramedics. If someone goes down, we don’t hold up the parade,” he said. A 20-member euipment crew keeps the musicians marching.
The O’Connor School of Irish Dance is making its debut this year. Founded in 2012, the Towson school has more than 70 students from age 4 to adult. The school’s dancers have participated in St. Patrick’s Day parades so they have some idea what to expect, according to founder and president Casey O’Connor.
“When people on the parade route see Irish dancing, they start dancing, too,” O’Connor said. “We dance most of the parade route. It’s a parade dance routine that keeps us moving forward instead of stepping in place like traditional Irish dance.”

Today Professor Bowman was a guest, with Heritage Foundation representative Hans van Spakovsky, on the podcast “Lawyer 2 Lawyer.” The topic was the Mueller Report and its implications for impeachment. Link Align 6S1P 22.2V 8500mAh 30C- HBP80001.
Tonight Professor Bowman appeared on CGTN America, an international network largely funded by the Chinese government, to talk about the Mueller report. See the panel discussion at this link.

The Ways and Means Committee of the United States House of Representatives 3x Beyblade Burst Evolution Mindbgolds M2 Phantazus P2 Anubion A2 D22 Hasbrothat the I.R.S. turn over President Trump’s tax returns and related information from the past six years. The Committee’s Chairman, Rep. Richard Neal, notes that the reason for his request is to examine audit procedures for a president.
William S. Consovoy, retained by President Trump to represent him on this matter, responded to the request with 4PCS XT-XINTE Platinum-30A-Pro 2-6S Speed Controller ESC For Drone F16560-4 sent to the U.S. Treasury Department, advising the I.R.S. not to turn over the returns. He argues in that letter that President Trump has a privacy interest in his tax returns, which should be protected, and that the Ways and Means Committee has no legitimate reason for requesting them. He claims that the reasons put forth by Neal are disingenuous and meant to hide his true motivation, which is purely political.
The congressional authority to request tax returns is codified in 6 in 1 Battery Charger with USB Super Charging Station for DJI MAVIC Air USA, which reads in part:
“Upon written request from the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the chairman of the Committee on Finance of the Senate, or the chairman of the Joint Committee on Taxation, the Secretary shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request . . . .”
Emphasis is added here to demonstrate that, generally, the I.R.S. does not have the discretion to refuse a request for tax records from Congress. However, as Ross Garber points out 8mm 0.32 Nylon M2.5 Threaded Hex Female-Female Standoff Spacer. x1000pcs, the Supreme Court has held that Congress exceeds its constitutional authority when requesting documents without a legitimate legislative purpose. He predicts a lengthy legal battle to determine whether such a legitimate reason actually exists, which Congress will ultimately lose by reason of lack of legal authority or eventual mootness. Still, all is not lost. Garber points out that if the returns are not ultimately turned over, then they could become a future article of impeachment, for failure to turn over tax returns for improper reasons.

He introduced articles 40mm OD X 38mm ID X 1000MM(1m)Roll Carbon Fiber tube 3k Composite Material 4038, citing Trump’s bigotry and racism as evidence of his lack of integrity and unfitness for office, and, forcing a vote on the floor, summoned the support of 60 democrats. He is not dissuaded by Attorney General Barr’s summary of Mueller’s report, and the lack of evidence of conspiracy between the President and the Russian government. He maintains that Trump is unfit for office because of his discriminatory decisions and statements.
Green’s position is similar, if more narrow, to that which has been put forth by Professor Bowman who presents “a view of impeachment as an essential tool in the case of a president who consistently violates legal and behavioral norms essential to the preservation of American constitutional order.”

Attorney General William Barr has released a four-page summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report. In it he announced that Mueller did not find sufficient evidence to establish the President Trump’s campaign conspired with Russian groups to manipulate the results of the 2016 election. Additionally, he writes that Mueller did not make a recommendation as to whether the President should be charged with obstruction of justice, but rather presented evidence on both sides of the issue and deferred to the Attorney General. Bar and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein have decided not to pursue indictment of the President on that charge. Barr notes that he intends to release as much of the report as will not violate 2.4GHz Foldable Wifi FPV RC Drone With 2.0MP HD Camera 4CH 6-Gyro Quadcopter US, governing the release of grand jury information. After the release of Mueller’s findings, the House of Representatives will have to decide whether they believe the evidence is sufficient for impeachment.

Experimental Investigation of the Flow Structure Near a Single Wraparound Fin
Additional Document Info
1996 by Lockheed Martin Corporation. All rights reserved. A wall-mounted semi-cylindrical model containing a single wrap-around fin (WAF) was tested in the AFIT Mach 2.9 test facility. Detailed mean flow and turbulence measurements were obtained using conventional probes and cross-wire hot-film anemometry at a series of stations upstream of and aft of the fin leading edge. Results showed the turbulence intensity in the fuselage boundary layer to be far greater on the concave side of the fin than on the convex side. In fact, at the location that boundary layer measurements were taken (0.69c), the turbulence intensities actually decreased by up to 70% when compared to pre-interaction values on the convex side of the fin - and increased by as much as 50% on the concave side. Similarly, the Reynolds shear stress aft of the fin bow shock is reduced on the convex side of the fin and rises dramatically on the concave side. These results qualitatively agree with the observed stabilizing and destabilizing effects of pressure gradient distortion on supersonic boundary layers.


Probably not. But maybe you’ve seen this ad somewhere on the web. It’s a spot for a cheese billed as “Seriously Strong” and “Award Winning Cheddar Since 1859.” Over :90 rather amusing seconds, we watch the adventure of a mouse as he plays with fire by eating cheese off a trap, falls victim to the spring arm, and then battles back mightily. Three different music tracks score this narrative: The Carpenter’s “Top of the World”, the Doors’ “The End” and Survivor’s “Eye of the Tiger.” These songs have all been licensed before, but the fiscal audacity of a small cheese company springing for three recognizable tunes boggles the mind.
The thing is, it just doesn’t make sense: even before blowing billions to buy Cadbury, Kraft Cheese couldn’t have afforded all those music rights, let alone some local cheese brand. And it made even less sense when YouTube scrolled up an ad for Survivor’s hit single as the piece played.
Of course, it didn’t make sense because there is no Nolan’s Cheese. But there is a John Nolan. And he makes animatronics and special effects for films. You know, like this viral one that you just watched. Which won’t sell a pound of non-existent cheese but well may garner work and inquiries for Mr. Nolan.
I still haven’t figured out if or how he secured the music rights, but I do envy his freedom in operating within the still relatively wild and lawless world of digital video. As advertisers, we could never do anything like this. I mean, you try doing this kind of thing for a client in regular advertising and you know what happens?
The cheese stands alone. In court.

Nightvision binocular NV–800
The NV-800 Night Vision Binocular is perfect for many different areas:
- protection of persons and property,
- animal observation,
- specialist monitoring.
The advantage of this model is that it does not illuminate the observer’s face. A special display with a lens was used, thanks to which the screen light is more diffused.
Another innovation is the ability to observe with a greater distance of the face from the screen, thanks to which we do not expose the eyes. The function significantly increases the convenience of monitoring objects at night and does not cause a blinding effect. Perfect for people wearing prescription glasses.
Thanks to the use of high quality electronics (sensitive CMOS sensor), the most modern optics (anti-reflection coating, increasing the light transmission) the image is of high resolution and quality.

Here's the latest anxiety-inducing development for those who fear the coming robot insurrection: Researchers at ETH in Zurich developed a fleet of flying robots that can attach to one another and fly in almost any formation imaginable. The individual robots fly using a single propeller, and according to ETH researchers, one of these robots by itself "is erratic and uncontrolled" in the air. But combine the robots and attach them to one another, and they work in concert in order to achieve more stable flight.


Marketing to digital socialites
Young, relatively wealthy users and the concept of “free” have made social media channels popular hunting grounds for marketing pros all over the world. Most of them are still struggling to get it right.
We lived on farms, we lived in cities, and now we’re going to live on the Internet!” says the actor playing Sean Parker, one of the Facebook pioneers in the recent blockbuster movie The Social Network.
In spring 2007, less than four years ago, Facebook celebrated a milestone: 30 million unique members.
Today, Facebook has 550 million unique members and adds 700,000 new members each day.
Membership in all the various social media networks is predicted to pass the 1 billion mark this year, making the digital social domain the third largest population in the world after China and India.
Other social media channels such as YouTube, Gowalla, Twitter and collaborative projects like Wikipedia have become global household names, generating millions of visitors and billions of hours spent in front the computer or, increasingly, with smartphones or other mobile broadband devices.
The share numbers and multitude of channels can be dizzying. According to social media project Wikipedia, a common definition for social media is “a blending of technology and social interaction for the co-creation of value.”
For many corporate communication professionals, spin doctors and modern-day Don Draper (the main character in the television series Mad Men) admen, the emergence of social media has tipped the balance of power in the communication and marketing process. It has moved from a one-way affair that hammers slogans through dominating and far-reaching channels to communicating in an increasingly fragmented environment where the target group has a tendency to talk back to big corporations. And they are not always polite.
Others are less enthusiastic about the quality of the billion megabytes of content created by enthusiastic users.
“Out of this anarchy, it suddenly became clear that what was governing the infinite monkeys now inputting away on the Internet was the law of digital Darwinism, the survival of the loudest and most opinionated,” writes Andrew Keen in his book The Cult of the Amateur. “Under these rules, the only way to intellectually prevail is by infinite filibustering.”
This anarchy is one reason why the corporate world has been wary of embracing social media. But still, companies are testing the waters. In a brave move, American carmaker General Motors launched a campaign for Chevy Tahoe where it invited users to create their own ads and put them on YouTube.
The result was a number of videos mocking the gas-guzzling SUV as a climate threat.
Although the campaign is routinely used as a schoolbook example of the hazards of leaving a valuable brand in the hands of unpredictable consumers, the jury is still out on whether it was a failure or a success.
One of the golden rules of social media is that it is better to create a buzz than to be bland and unnoticed.
But the lingering hesitancy of marketing departments is reflected in the numbers for ad money spent on social media, according to a recent report from Deloitte Canada. Despite social media’s large and growing audience, its advertising revenues still represent less than 1 percent of the total worldwide advertising expenditure.
Although a multitude of digital native consultants and professional bloggers are encouraging corporations to embrace the new digital opportun-ities (for a fee), the dinosaur medium of TV is still predicted to keep its position as the first choice in marketing.
In many cases, it might be a wise decision. People logged into social-networking sites are there to hang out with their friends, so they pay little attention to ads. They want to interact with people, not brands.
“We spend the majority of our time engaging with people on these networks, not advertising on them,” says Scott Monty, the head of Ford’s social-media activities.
The automotive company has been increasingly savvy in applying the special rules of social media as demonstrated by the launch of the European-made Ford Fiesta in America. Ford imported European Fiestas and recruited 100 media-savvy members of the public to act as “agents”. In return for a free car for six months plus insurance and petrol, they agreed to upload their adventures in online videos and to blog about them. Called the “Fiesta Movement”, it created a buzz, and the car gained the highest vehicle awareness among the public of any car in its segment.
“You can give people something to talk with each other about, add value to their social interactions while integrating your brand or product,” says
Petter Westlund, creative director for digital production company B-reel in New York, recently dubbed No. 1 in digital productions by trade magazine Advertising Age, with ample experience in social media marketing. “Social media can give you a better understanding of what people are talking about in areas that relate to your company or product. This can create great opportunities to be reactive, picking up on developing trends and attitudes. But there are plenty of examples of brands over-estimating people’s interest in them.”
And although marketing in social media has travelled a long way from the golden age of marketing in the ’60s Madison Avenue, Don Draper would nod approvingly to the core value, as stated by Westlund.
“Good and big ideas are still the key to success,” Westlund says. “Social Media, if orchestrated properly, and with a bit of luck, can create a powerful word-of-mouth ‘amplification mechanism’.”

Each equipment or Doing the job detail was when an idea. To convert this concept or system right into a workable model from the production business is done through the computer aided structure, Personal computer aided production and 3D printing engineering. Immediate prototyping is really a approach executed with the help of the application. Regardless of the kind of solution the organization wants to provide, the design is developed from the engineer and the pc will help out in production that mold for the company. Stereo lithography gave delivery into the art of designing and production with the assistance of the computer. So what’s the whole process of building a fast prototype? Allow us to make an effort to appear deep into it.
This is a producing know-how, that is additive in nature. The concept created is initial specified for the CAD Section who develops the item based on the design created. Thousands of cross sections are then cut out of the data developed by means of CAD from the 3D printing software package. These cross sections are then assembled over a platform that with each other give rise to the ultimate product or service. Every layer produced is finished based on the Computer system aided structure details. Then the levels last but not least Create up a product. The creation of products and solutions relies upon upon the complexity from the solution to be generated. The fast prototyping systems ordinarily choose several hours to accomplish The entire process though on a median foundation.
Benefits of Swift Prototyping:
Price preserving- There used to be previously common approaches of making a product by old prototyping tactics which not only took plenty of time to finish The complete process, but What’s more, it took lots of individuals to put in constant hours of work to acquire sought after benefits. The proximity of problems also used to be large. The technique was once pricey, which affected the revenue of the corporate. But with the arrival of latest know-how consisting of 3 D printing methods and CAD and CAM, the perform simplified. The laborious and pricey way of labor became history. The strategy also makes it possible for the group to determine the faults manufactured at an early phase which can be corrected in time. Price tag benefit is an opportunity and that is then grabbed by these firms who opt for automation. The growth level along with the effectiveness amount goes up in the market.
Rapid and exact- The science of creating and manufacturing applied in the computer feeling lets the procedure of producing equipment a rapid and faultless method. The right strategy for endeavor the execution on the system built with the making of the machinery contributes to achievement of Price Management on the market.
Speedy shipping- Timing is essential in the present environment. The a person that is speedy wins the race. The a person who understands what The customer desires and produce it on right time wins the race and earns income. The speedy prototyping method allows the companies to build a prototype promptly and create an item rapidly to provide it on board in the market right before their rivals to enhance their market place share.
Immediate prototyping provider china is also undertaken through the main China’s Jason mould and Injection Organization. The corporation lays emphasis on generating prototypes which might be dependable and cost friendly. They provide vacuum casting, SLA, SLS and CNC machining. They use specialized manufacturing strategies. They struggle to work on efficiency and reduce the general time taken to generate a prototype.

Merry Christmas to everyone! We have released three new weapons and a new TDM map for y’all to enjoy the holidays!
NEW MAP: MINESHAFT
Mineshaft is a new TDM map set in an underground mine. It features the new Random Spawns system to make the game pace a bit more dynamic.
The Ultimax 100 is a Singaporean LMG firing 5.56mm. It features accurate automatic fire thanks to its “constant recoil” feature.
The Ithaca 37 is a 16-gauge shotgun with a tight spread. It replaces the KSG-15 in the unlock tree – the latter weapon is now unlocked after it to be in the right tier for a Legendary weapon.
The Sterling is a slow-firing 9x19mm SMG with a cheap price and good automatic accuracy.
NEW RECOIL SYSTEM
GunColony is known for making firsts in the industry and redefining what is possible to be done in Minecraft. This time, we have added a new “smooth recoil recovery” system to the game that works by sending the player 60 view rotation updates per second (independently from the Minecraft server tickrate of 20), matching the refresh rate of most monitors providing a seamless experience. This allows the weapon recoil to have a customizable “force” and “recovery” to them where instead of instantly changing your viewing direction the gun will now kick your view up a bit more gradually like most other games, and the recoil can also partly or completely recover after the shot. It’s all configurable and allows us to create a lot more variety in how our weapons handle.
This new system is currently in testing on the three new weapons that we added to the server, both for stability and to collect feedback, but we do intend to add it to all of our weapons in the future. If you experience any performance issues or bugs when and only when using these weapons, please let us know in the Bug Report section on the forums so we can get them all smoothed out.

New Top End Kit For The Suzuki RM250 - Wiseco Piston
My new Top End Kit.


I just got my base model MacBook Pro 14" with the M2 Pro chip, and the first thing I did after the initial setup wizard is try to connect it to my LG C1 48" OLED TV to see if the HDMI 2.1 support actually works.
If you are considering a M2 Pro machine, but aren't sure if you want to go for the MacBook Pro or the Mac mini, then this analysis is for you. We'll take a look at both machines to highlight what the similarities and, most importantly, differences are to help you make a decision.
Apple announced the new MacBook Pro with M2 Pro and Max chips, as well as the new Mac mini with M2 and M2 Pro chips. The biggest limiting factor, the HDMI 2.0 port, from the M1 versions of these computers may finally be addressed.
Apple's Mac Studio desktop computer launched in March of 2022 and I'm going to tell you 5 reasons you should NOT buy the Mac Studio.
Notion is a great note-taking and general purpose record everything tool that lives on the web. It's free to use for basic needs, and comes with mobile apps for iOS and Android as well. However, selecting multiple blocks of text on mobile isn't straightforward.
I decided to purchase a Tesla Model Y, so I wanted to document my experiences with both the company and the car. Buying a Tesla is certainly a unique process compared to buying any other car. If you are thinking about buying your own Tesla, you might find these experiences helpful.
I've been using the 2020 (really 2018) Mac mini for my normal workloads and running some stress tests on it to determine how silent it truly is. Let's see if the tiny yet attractive Mac has a place on the desk of someone who cares about computing noise.
Sometimes, the lowest tech solution is the best solution. If you are looking to have the convenience of k-cups, I recommend saving your wallet and making things easier with the Presto MyJo Single-cup coffee maker.
In March 2020, Apple updated their website with a NEW label on the Mac mini, the small form factor BYODKM (Bring Your Own Display, Keyboard, and Mouse) computer that was last updated in 2018. So what changed in these 2 years?
Apple released a new Macbook Air in March of 2020 and on paper, it seems to check all the right boxes. Notable features include a much better scissor-switch keyboard (compared to the butterfly switches), and the ability to configure a quad-core CPU for only $100 extra over the base model, which now starts at $999.
Both mobile devices and computers have built-in ways to capture a snapshot of the screen so you can easily save something or share it. Here's a quick reference guide on how to do that.
The Surface Laptop 2 also offers 8th-gen quad-core Intel Core CPUs, but does not have a fanless configuration. However, I recently acquired one and have determined that although not fanless, it is probably the best silent notebook computer.
The best mouse I have found for both average gaming and everyday use is the Logitech G602 Wireless Gaming Mouse.
Microsoft released a slew of new Surface products in 2017, including the 5th-generation Surface Pro, the Surface Laptop, and the Surface Book 2. Much to my delight, all 3 of these products offered at least 1 silent, fanless configuration option.

Chief Keef appeared in court in Sioux Falls, South Dakota this morning for charges dating back to June of 2017.
Sosa attended court this morning and pled ‘No Contest’ to the possession of a controlled substance, a plea which allows defendants not to admit guilt, but be treated by the courts like he did.
Back in 2017, the Glo Gang frontman was arrested after airport security found a blunt and marijuana edibles in his bag when leaving Sioux City after a show. His lawyer had previously attempted to get the edible charges dismissed, but a judge denied the move stating the products were still a “controlled substance” not marijuana itself. He was facing up to 5 years in jail for the incident, but now will more than likely not serve any time at all.
The details of Sosa’s plea deal are not yet public, but his No Contest plea today caused the other possession of marijuana charge to been dropped. He was given a suspended imposition of sentence, which means no charge will be entered against him as long as he does not find himself in court in Sioux Falls again for any Class 1 misdemeanours or above, which is unlikely anyway.
He was also ordered to pay a $500 fine, $104 in court costs and $99 in testing fees. The prosecutor in the case didn’t dispute the request for suspended imposition of sentence, saying “we want Mr. Cozart to be successful” & referred to his hit ‘Don’t Like’ saying “We don’t like people bringing drugs to South Dakota.”
Don’t forget to join the conversation below if you have anything to say.

The Korab Waterfall - the highest waterfall
The Korab Waterfall or the Projfel Waterfall is in the upper course of the Deep River at Mount Korab. The Korab is rich in streams and rivers that are characterized by rapid flows and alternately run through canyons and valleys. With its 130 meters, the Korab Waterfall on this river is the highest in the Balkans. It occurs in the spring months due to the melting snow on the eastern side of the top Mal Korab (below the Little Korab Gate). The sight is fascinating if you are on one of the surrounding hills. Depending on the season and the water level of the spring, the waterfall varies in height and intensity. The numbers range from 70 to 138 meters. The exact height of the waterfall may also depend on the different points taken at different measurements. The upper point of the Korab Waterfall is at an altitude of about 2,050 m, and the lower one is at an altitude of about 1,950 m.
Korab - mountain pearl in Macedonia
The Korab Waterfall appears with the melting of snow in the spring. It has the greatest intensity in late May and early June, and then loses its strength in the summer. At the end of the summer and the beginning of autumn, the water just slips along the rocks, and in dry years it completely dries up. The best access to the Korab Waterfall is through the valley of the Deep River. It can be accessed from the left side of the river through the villages of Nistrovo and Zuzhne, or on the right side through Bibanje, beside the peak Kabash.
For an unforgettable experience it is advisable to visit iit n the months of May, June. The mountaineering action is a one-day tour in nature, the path is marked, 70% in the forest and 30% in pastures, but with a panorama that will entice you. Glacial lakes have additional beauty. Korab is decorated with eight permanent lakes, and the largest of them is the Korab Lake, which is 2.470 meters above sea level and is the largest mountain pearl in Macedonia. On the Korab Mountain there are 52 peaks rising from over 2,000 meters.
More information about Korab Waterfall can be found on this website.

His bestselling book The Power of Zero has sold over 350,000 copies and the updated and revised version was published by Penguin Random House. When it was launched in September of 2018, it finished the week as the #2 most-sold business book in the world. For two consecutive years Forbes Magazine has ranked The Power of Zero as a top 10 financial resource in the country. This book was recently made into a full-length documentary film entitled The Power of Zero: The Tax Train Is Coming. When his follow-up book Tax-Free Income for Life launched in November of 2020, it finished the week as the #3 top-selling business book in the world. He and his wife Felice have seven children.
Tax rates 10 years from now are likely to be much higher than they are today. Is your retirement plan ready? Learn how to avoid the coming tax freight train and maximize your retirement dollars.
David breaks down the 5 biggest IUL mistakes people make and how to avoid them.
He starts the conversation by explaining the impact IULs can have on tax-free retirement when used correctly.
Mistake #1 – Getting an IUL through the wrong company. David highlights what to look out for before settling on an IUL provider.
Mistake #2 – Getting the wrong IUL product. You could have the best carrier in the world, but if you choose the wrong product, it’s all for nothing.
Mistake #3 – The right advisor. You need an advisor who understands what it means to build a balanced, comprehensive approach to tax-free retirement – and, most importantly, will be in business for the long run.
Mistake #4 – Improper funding. David explains that IULs work best when you fund them religiously and keep them until death.
Mistake #5 – Making an IUL the only component of your tax-free retirement strategy. According to David, your goal is to make IULs one of four to six streams of tax-free retirement income.

Special Exhibits and Programs
See You in the Funny Papers: Iconic Cartoons and Comics
At the Havilah Beardsley House, July 1st - September 30th, 2022
“See You in the Funny Papers": a phrase that began to grace the American lexicon around the 1920s and served as a reminder that life can often be just as amusing and whimsical as the Sunday comics.
That's what Ruthmere's summer exhibit is all about - the comics we grew up with, the characters that shaped our outlook on life, and the jokes that had the singular knack for bringing out a smile. Through multiple components loaned from various museums, we will be exploring comics known on both local and national levels and offering amusing doses of nostalgia for visitors of all ages.
Funny Papers will include a traveling exhibit from the Charles M. Schulz Museum called Pigskin Peanuts, featuring delightfully nostalgic "Peanuts" comics about one of America's favorite pastimes: football. From July 1st -July 28th only, the exhibit will also include Pencils to Pixels: Hoosier Cartoons and Comics, another exhibit loan from the Indiana Historical Society.
Other exhibit components promise to make Funny Papers an unforgettable walk down memory lane. Some of these include: “Garfield,” “Tumbleweeds,” and “Roger Bean” memorabilia from Minnetrista in Muncie, IN; “Brenda Starr” comics from the Porter County Museum in Valparaiso, IN; animation cels and original artwork from the Hall of Heroes Superhero Museum in Elkhart; and materials of local comic artists, such as Max Gwin and Bill Holman, from the Nappenee Public Library in Nappanee, IN.
This exhibit is made possible through the generous sponsorship of Steve & Julie Bachman, 1st Source Bank, and Gibson Insurance.
Stop by the Havilah Beardsley House between July 1st and September 30th to visit
See You in the Funny Papers: Iconic Cartoons and Comics!
