Authorities are hunting for a suspect who reportedly shot 5 of his neighbors in Cleveland, Texas – including an 8-year-old boy – before fleeing.
Francisco Oropesa, 38, is a Mexican national who is living in the U.S. illegally. He has been detained and released by ICE multiple times, with the last encounter recorded in 2016. San Jacinto County Sheriff Greg Capers and FBI Houston Special agent in charge James Smith announced an $80,000 reward for tips leading to Oropesa’s arrest (Caper’s office number is 936-653-4367).
These are photos of Oropesa that may help identify him:
“We do not know where he is, that’s why we’ve come up with this reward,” said Smith at a press conference. “We have zero leads.”
Authorities currently have a 20-mile perimeter set up, which they widened from 5 or 6 miles over the weekend, in an attempt to catch the fugitive before he leaves the area. Police found abandoned clothes in the area and tracking dogs “picked up a scent,” but they later lost it in a body of water.
“He could be anywhere now,” Capers said.
Biden’s DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, who has been criticized by conservative lawmakers for a soft approach to border security, refused to comment on the case when asked by NBC’s Chuck Todd on Sunday.
“I won’t comment on it because it is an active case. The tragedy that occurred is… just absolutely horrific.”

Are Air Fryers Healthy?
There’s no doubt that people love fried food. That insatiable first bite into the crispy texture, the juicy tender inside locked and loaded with flavor, and the iconic look that fried food has captivates our hearts, and our taste buds. There is also no doubt that fried food is not really the healthiest choice of foods for your body. Deep fried foods in your typical oil dip fryer will increase the calorie and trans fats of whatever is being fried. The NIH explains that when you fry food in oil, the food will lose water and absorb fat thus increasing its calorie count. Additionally, frying foods are usually done over very high temperatures thus causing hydrogenation which is the chemical and structural change that occurs when unsaturated fats turn into trans fats. The NIH, Ne England Journal of Medicine, as well as many other major institutions link trans fats with increased risks of heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and more. Furthermore, most fried foods are cooked with processed vegetable or seed oils that are less expensive and usually contain more trans fats than oils like olive oil or avocado oil. Acrylamide, which is a known toxic substance and carcinogenic if ingested at high levels, are also found in fried foods that are high in starch and/or cooked in oils that have a high amount of polyunsaturated fats per the NIH and Wiley peer reviewed studies. There’s an easy general rule of 3 healthy oil choices which are coconut oil, olive oil, and avocado oil. The studies continue that almost all other oils yield high amounts of polyunsaturated fats and create acrylamide when exposed to higher temperatures. I speculate that these more expensive oils are not used when making our French fries from our favorite fast-food restaurants.
For lovers of fried food, this information can be disheartening. However, with modern science, knowledge and innovation, our hero of the story emerges. Welcome the Air Fryer. Air Fryers hit the scene in 2010 and have been offering a healthy alternative to deep fried foods while perfecting and enhancing the technology along the way. Research by the NPD Group shows 40% of American families already own an air fryer. It is easy to see why more and more people are finding their way to this healthier option and enjoying convenient air fryer meals that are good for health, taste delicious, and easy to clean.
How Air Fryers Work
Air fryers use a convection-like process to heat and cook your food. It allows you to roast, bake, and grill. You can even “Air Fry” your meals with an air fryer in a much healthier alternative than deep fryers. Essentially, air fryers have a mechanism that will heat the air, then air intakes and fans will circulate that heated air rapidly throughout the cooking chamber with evenly distributed temperatures and less fat. You will notice holes in the top and sides of the cooking chamber as well as holes in the food basket of your air fryer. These holes allow for circulation of the heated air and engineered specifically for that function. The evenly distributed heat and circulation of the air will cook the contents of your basket evenly with a nicely crisp exterior and tender juicy inside while using less oil and greatly reducing the grease. The NIH explains that this is called a “nonenzymatic” browning reaction since the machine uses high temperature air, absent the enzyme, in which this case would be oil (this is the simple explanation and is also known as the “Maillard Reaction”).
Functioning an Air Fryer is quite simple. It usually requires setting a temperature and a timer, pressing start, and then sit back and relax until its done. Air fryers also have a nice non-stick finish and easy to wipe down while the reduced amount of grease and lower fat content will also help making cleaning a breeze. There are not that many components to an air fryer which also helps keep maintenance low.
The Health Benefits of Air Fried Foods
Health experts strongly agree that you get better healthy meals from an air fryer vs a deep fryer. Air fryers on average cut the number of calories about 60-80% from your traditional deep-frying methods. When compared to other regular cooking, the Air Fryer does not add any extra calories. In fact, it is the adding of oils and choice of added ingredients that contribute to the amount of extra calories to your whatever you are cooking.
Air Fryers also reduces the amount of acrylamide (as noted earlier) by up to 90%. As explained by the FDA, acrylamide is a compound that occurs from a chemical reaction during high temperature cooking between sugars and asparagine, an amino acid. The study finds acrylamide to be carcinogenic in animals when exposed to high doses and offers recommendations for consumers and manufacturers about ways to reduce acrylamide in foods. The NIH provides a study done on acrylamide in fried potatoes and concludes that using an air fryer will reduce these acrylamides by about 80-90%. Kind of makes you think twice when cooking with certain oils and how much to use regardless of your cooking method.
If you have ever worked in a restaurant, you’re probably aware that many will be reusing their frying oil. Deep fried oil does absorb flavors from the food and can transfer those flavors to other foods, however, along with absorbing those flavors, it also absorbs some of the nutrients in the form of antioxidants from the food as well. It won’t take many uses before the frying oil begins to break down and congeal into a thicker more consistent substance with darker color. It may save them money, but only enhances the unhealthy aspects of deep-fried foods like fried chicken wings. This alone is a pretty valid reason for avoiding fast food. An Air fryer will brilliantly cook your food and it will not lose any nutrients as it does with deep frying.
In summary, the health benefits of an air fryer.
There are many health benefits of an air fryer. This includes:
-Reduces calories and trans fats which promote a healthier diet and helps with weight loss and cardiovascular health overall.
-Reduces the amount of unhealthy compounds like acrylamide, a known cancer-causing agent at high levels.
-Less stress from messy oils and deep-frying pots and machines which are a pain in the you know where when its cleanup time. Air fryers are remarkably easy to clean.
Making Healthy Food Choices When Air Frying
Eating healthy is a lifestyle. In reality, using an air fryer can be extremely beneficial to your health, but like all things, moderation is key. If you’re eating frozen fries and chicken nuggets every day from the air fryer, you are not eating healthy. Air fryers are perfect tools for making food from scratch that won’t require much work or preparation. Try cooking a lightly breaded chicken breast or rotisserie in your air fryer. Experiment with different healthy air fryer recipes containing your favorite foods, like various veggies and sweet potatoes. Avoid using heavy liquid in your air fryer, it will break your machine. If your recipe calls for a light coating of oil, I suggest only using olive, coconut, or avocado oils, as they are virtually the only healthy options for cooking oils and they all have a good smoke point for cooking.

Does anyone knowhow make the camera work at night using the infra red feature on the cameras to work through glass at night. It works great during the day but not at night. Any Firm ware updates planned?
You can turn off the camera’s IR lights in settings, but leave night vision engaged. Then it is just a matter of turning on an outdoor light, or get an outdoor IR illuminator. Even without an outdoor light it will be better than if night vision is turned off.
Thanks. There are two settings. I had Night Vision Mode off and Night Vision IR Lights on. So you are saying to do the opposite- turn Night Vision Mode auto and turn off Night Visions IR lights off? I will try that tonight.
I agree with @Newshound… you should get an outdoor infrared light
FWIW I have one v2 cam looking out a window into a dimly lit yard (single 40W bulb on the porch) with IR lights off. With Night Mode off all I see is solid black, not a single defining feature is visible. With Night Mode on I can make out the outline of some flower beds and a couple trees.
So while using Night Mode with no IR isn’t great, it’s still much better than doing without Night Mode. However as @Newshound said, if you really want to take advantage of Night Mode through glass you’ll need an IR floodlight outside to illuminate the area.
There are many IR illuminators available on Amazon. If you get one, make sure you get the proper wavelength for the type of Wyze Cam you are using. Wyze Cam V2 uses 850nm and Wyze Cam Pan uses 940nm IR.
This is the illuminator I’m using with my V2s: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01G6K407Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Correct: do the reverse: Night Vision IR Lights = OFF, Night Vision Mode = AUTO (or ON).
Glass is extremely reflective of IR light. If the night vision lights are on, you will get nothing but an extreme flair of IR light reflected back to the camera by the glass.
What are you using for a power adapter?
I’m certainly not an expert on this, but I think there was a post here a few months back relating to the IRs on the cams. I believe it was stated that either type of external IR will work with both cams. The cams will pick up 850nm or 940nm. Wyze chose different IR lights for the v2 and Pan based on the visibility of the IRs when the camera is looked at in the dark/ or low light situations. I think the Pan IRs are less visible than the V2 IRs when illuminated.

The return of Izzy Brown to full fitness for Leeds United has been highly anticipated in recent weeks. The 21-year-old is yet to play for the side after arriving on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea in the summer.
His progress playing in the u23 squad has fuelled speculation that the striker is ready for a return to first team football. On Tuesday, he scored in his first full 90 minutes to help the side to a 6-3 win at Burnley.
And wihile fellow frontman Patrick Bamford, who scored a hat-trick in that game, looks set to feature in some capacity on Saturday against Bolton Wanderers, Marcelo Bielsa has confirmed that that won't be the case for Izzy.
He said, speaking to the press at Thorp Arch: "I don’t think he’s ready for the bench. Every time he plays he makes positive steps to being inside the group.
"He has a great weight, he is well, he is fit. He absorbs the volume of a game without any problems. He needs to work on his intensity and strength, but that’s normal because of how little he’s played.
"The sudden movements he can make, when he sprints, when he stops, the switch of direction, the short sprints, these are the elements that are needed for a player with a technique like Izzy Brown.
"You need to have a certain level of performance to impose your technical skills. He’s working on these small details."
A good insight then, from Marcelo on where the striker's fitness is at right now.

Reboot and all I can really think of is the Human League. The morning has been full of musings from academics, developers and thinkers on what it is that makes us "human".
Reboot is the small(ish), grassroots(ish) tech conference that was kicked off this morning by 29 year old Thomas Madsen-Mygdal who has been putting this annual gathering together in his "spare" time nearly every year this decade. His opening gambit was "it's not us that makes it great, its you." as the majority of presentations were suggested and voted/commented on by the attendees before the conference was scheduled. Well I'm not sure i've done much yet bar eat some of the free apricots and bananas...
Anyway I'm here all day/tomorrow and supposed to be filing an update for my BBC News colleagues later so i'll better stop this and start paying attention.

If you learn to think before you eat, you will achieve Fort Worth weight loss by making the right choices. When you eat foods simply because you like them without regard for their nutritional content, it is easy to choose foods that are not good for your body. Losing weight doesn’t have to be a traumatic experience when you learn how to choose healthy and tasty foods with high nutritional content.
Thinking It Through to the End
There was once an old expression that went something like “a moment on the lips and a lifetime on the hips”. You don’t hear this expression often anymore, but it really sums up the need to be fully aware of what you put into your mouth. When you thoughtlessly prepare and/or eat meals that are unhealthy, the food tastes great in your mouth but quickly turns to fat in the body.
Even worse is the fact the wrong food choices can lead to disease and shorten your life span. Almost everyone knows that high cholesterol foods can cause cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure, or even cancer. Foods that are high in sugar can cause type-2 diabetes and heart disease.
All too often, people decide to go on a diet and make a big production of the decision. They announce their decision to family and friends, make a date to start the diet, and begin weighing religiously. Most diets start out well, but it’s not long before the cravings for certain foods begin and the constant effort becomes tedious.
Instead of deciding to go on a diet, you should decide to start living a healthy lifestyle. Going on a diet for Fort Worth weight loss is a short term solution. Living a healthy lifestyle is a choice you are making that will endure the rest of your life. You can begin by simply thinking about what you eat and when you eat it in order to achieve Fort Worth weight loss.
Lose Weight By Living the Healthy Life
When you embark on a healthy lifestyle, it is important to begin thinking about your decision related to food and physical activity. When it comes to food, you want to mentally evaluate your choices. For example, when you reach into the refrigerator for an evening snack, you can choose ice cream or a piece of fruit. When it’s time for breakfast, you can choose a bowl of oatmeal or bacon and eggs. Do you really need that in-between meal snack? Are you that hungry, and if so, why?
You can begin to substitute foods with high nutritional value for foods that are not good for your body on a meal by meal basis. Instead of being obsessed with Fort Worth weight loss, you can focus on your energy level and how well you are aging. When you make the right food choices and manage the quantity of food you eat, you will lose weight.
Your diet management should be combined with regular exercise too. If you just think about each food item you put into your mouth, you are bound to maintain Fort Worth weight loss as you learn to make better choices.


The sort of country/Americana/adult contemporary/pop hybrid that will easily appeal to fans of Lady Antebellumn but nowhere near as shallow, Fairground Saints are on to something very, very good on their debut album, which you can listen to below.

In addition to founding the long-running, highly prolific, and endlessly lovable band NRBQ, pianist Terry Adams has always had a great fondness for jazz great Thelonious Monk, having seen the man perform countless times in the 1960s. Consequently you can imagine how a proper album of Thelonious Monk interpretations was a project very long in the making.
Taken at face value, the latest single from Blue Heart, the recent EP by Houston artist Doug Locke, can be seen as an effectively seductive and posturing modern R&B jam. After all, that bassline, and that swaggering, Drake-esque persona Locke has going on works incredibly well. Dig a little deeper, though, and you can tell he’s also having a bit of fun, taking the famous Peaches Monroee meme and turning it into something smartly self-referential while at the same time laying down the wickedest crunk groove.
Reminiscent of that strange time in the 1990s when so many pop punk bands recorded self-referential songs, Gregory Pepper‘s latest single pays tribute to actor/comedian/cult figure Bill Murray in charming fashion. The Guelph, Ontario singer makes as many film references as he can in 104 seconds, from Doctor Venkman to Herman Blume. Best of all, the song is a terrific little blast of power pop.
Loaded with the kind of sparking, massive hooks that will remind many of the more pop-oriented side of the new romantic scene 30 years ago, Patternist‘s new single “New Fashion” is shamelessly wide-eyed. Irresistibly so. The brainchild of Portland musician Gabe Mouer, Patternist is in the process of releasing new tracks from its second EP on a month-by-month basis, with a full release later this year.

Corn production under restricted irrigation in the Texas High Plains
- Additional Document Info
- View All
Sustainable corn (Zea mays L.) production in the semiarid Texas High Plains (THP) relies on irrigation water from the Ogallala Aquifer, but it is well known that the aquifer is declining. A 3yr (20102012) field study was conducted to find whether successful corn production is possible using only 60% (300mm) of the current average irrigation for the region (500mm). Three corn hybrids (Pioneer P31G96, Pioneer P33D49, and Monsanto DKC6787) were planted at four densities (5, 6, 7, and 8 plants m) under a center pivot sprinkler system. Seasonal precipitation was highest in 2010 (224mm), followed by 2012 (132mm), and 2011 (85mm). Seasonal evapotranspiration for corn ranged between 426 and 635 mm. Yield was significantly lower in 2011 (2.4 Mg ha) and 2012 (6.0 Mg ha) than 2010 (13.3 Mg ha) due to severe drought conditions combined with unusually high temperatures in those years. Increase in planting density increased biomass at silking but did not increase yield. Grain yield was related to biomass at maturity, harvest index, and biomass increase during grain filling. Results suggest that corn yields of about 13 Mg ha are possible with only 300mm of irrigation in the THP, but production risk is high due to frequent years with low seasonal precipitation.

What does “wealthy” imply, anyway?
Almost nobody even thinks of themselves as “wealthy.” No, actually—solely 28% of millionaires contemplate themselves wealthy.
Even our conceptions about what being rich appears like are principally improper. Fancy vehicles? Sprawling homes? Nannies and second properties and $10,000 oven ranges? As a tradition, we’ve purchased into the mythology preached by actuality TV.
A 3rd of Americans dwell hand-to-mouth. Not so stunning—till you study that over two-thirds of them are middle-class or richer. It’s even worse amongst Millennials incomes six figures, 44% of whom dwell paycheck-to-paycheck.
These rat-racers, determined to sustain with the Joneses by exhibiting off luxurious vehicles and oversize properties, usually don’t have any monetary safety.
“Wealthy” isn’t solely a obscure time period; it’s a ineffective one as a result of it tells us nothing about what’s happening behind the scenes of an individual’s funds. An individual can earn $200,000/yr and be broke, dwelling hand-to-mouth. Another can earn $40,000 and obtain monetary independence.
Forget the flash. Here are extra particular steps, a ladder that somebody within the center class can climb to create true monetary freedom.
The 5-Step Ladder From Middle Class to Financial Freedom
Step #1: Financial Protection
Those excessive earners dwelling paycheck-to-paycheck don’t have any monetary safety in any respect. If they lose their job, they’re up a gnarly-smelling creek with no paddle.
The working and center lessons can begin their climb by constructing monetary safety. First, they want an emergency fund, which may cowl Three-6 months’ minimal obligatory bills.
Minimum obligatory bills embody housing, fundamental groceries, needed transportation, and utility (gasoline, electrical, water) payments. It doesn’t embody dinners out, cable TV subscriptions, a elaborate automobile, beer, Netflix, and so on.
Before creating an emergency fund, first deal with your most costly money owed by snowballing. You ought to have a $zero stability in your bank card money owed on the finish of every month.
It’s simpler to attain monetary safety with decrease bills—it leaves with you extra of your paycheck to save, and your emergency fund doesn’t want to be giant. Just think about how shortly you might get there should you lived on half your revenue!
Beyond an emergency fund, insurance coverage issues too. Financially protected households carry medical health insurance (after all), but in addition incapacity and life insurance coverage if the family depends on one earner.
Emergencies occur on a regular basis. Build a monetary buffer to shield your self from the subsequent one—not for if it comes, however for when it comes.
Step #2: Financial Security
When a household can cowl its minimal obligatory bills with revenue from their investments, they’ve reached monetary safety. It often takes years, however as soon as once more, the decrease your minimal obligatory bills, the better it’s to get there.
Families construct monetary safety by investing in income-producing belongings: rental properties, dividend-paying shares and funds, bonds. After attaining monetary safety, they’ll begin investing aggressively for revenue.
House hacking is good way to leapfrog there sooner. By eradicating your housing fee out of your obligatory bills, you allow the a lot decrease prices of groceries, utilities, and transportation. With shrewd investments and a lean price range, you’ll be able to cowl these prices very quickly.
As you’re pursuing monetary safety, you also needs to be investing in retirement accounts. IRAs, 401(ok)s, and comparable retirement accounts provide nice tax advantages and create a various second layer of long-term safety. These equity-based investments function a wonderful counterbalance to extra fast income-producers like rental properties.
Step #Three: Financial Contentment
Being in a position to cowl your minimal dwelling bills together with your funding revenue is an unbelievable feeling. It’s the primary glimmer of invincibility—you might be fired tomorrow and by no means work once more and survive indefinitely!
But not comfortably. After all, the feel of life is made up not of consuming ramen noodles each night time, however in having the ability to journey, to grill up a ribeye, to take pleasure in it with a glass of Haut Medoc.
It will get simpler from right here. After reaching monetary safety, you now have substantial revenue out of your investments. If you’ll be able to keep away from life-style inflation, meaning you could have an enormous portion of your revenue that may go towards much more investments.
Don’t give in to the temptation to exit and purchase a ski chalet in Aspen or a BMW M3! You’ll slip again a step on the ladder. Instead, maintain constructing passive revenue from investments, in order that it may possibly cowl more and more extra of your complete life-style bills.
As extra of your discretionary bills could be lined by your funding revenue, you’ll attain monetary contentment. Which is simply a brief hop from monetary independence.
Step #four: Financial Independence
When your funding revenue can cowl all your month-to-month bills, you’re not depending on a job. Not simply the minimal prices, however the enjoyable stuff too. Dinners out. Travel. Entertainment.
Congratulations, you’ve reached monetary independence!
You can retire any time in order for you. My uncle, a monetary genius, used to name this “f#%k you money”—you aren’t dependent in your boss, your job, the federal government, or anybody else. You can inform off your complete world after which go make your self a cup of scorching cocoa, put your toes up, take a nap, and never fear one whit about what anybody on this planet thinks.
If you personal greater than a handful of rental properties, you may want to take into consideration hiring a property supervisor. Or not—perhaps you’d fairly stop your day job and simply handle your leases as an alternative.

But should you stop your day job now, you most likely received’t attain the ultimate step.
Step #5: Financial Freedom
Up till now, you’ve stayed disciplined, maintained a good grip on life-style inflation. Sure, you take pleasure in some touring, and you want consuming good meals generally. But as you’ve constructed monetary safety and independence, you’ve nonetheless had to preserve a price range.
The high rung of the ladder implies that you’ve graduated past that tight price range that’s been so useful for you. You now have sufficient revenue out of your investments that you simply actually can go purchase that ski chalet if that’s what you really need. Building monetary freedom means which you could have absolutely anything you really need—and you’ll afford it.
To come full circle, attaining monetary freedom is to really grow to be “wealthy,” if we’ve to use that obscure, unhelpful phrase.
Much as I just like the ladder metaphor, it’s lacking one thing: momentum. When climbing a ladder, every step takes simply as a lot effort because the one earlier than. But that’s not true in working towards monetary freedom.
With every step it really will get simpler. Instead of a ladder, think about standing on a bicycle, making ready to trip. The first pedal rotation is tough; it takes a agency stomp of your toes. Your quadriceps scream as you drive the pedal down. The bike isn’t very steady or balanced at first both, with out having achieved spin stabilization.
The subsequent rotation is barely simpler, as you achieve somewhat velocity, somewhat stability, somewhat momentum.
After a couple of grinding rotations, you can begin upshifting to a better gear. You construct momentum, and ultimately you attain a snug cruising velocity.
It’s no totally different as you begin saving and investing a better proportion of your revenue. It’s no enjoyable to dwell a modest, low-expense life-style whereas your pals dwell it up and showcase their new Audis and Acuras. But as you trim your bills down and concurrently begin incomes extra, your investments will enable you begin creating true monetary safety, then monetary safety, and someday, you’ll get up and notice that you’re not depending on a job to maintain dwelling your life-style.
A disciplined particular person dwelling in a modest home who bikes to work can obtain monetary freedom a lot sooner than the flashy yuppie droning on about their nation membership membership. Forego the flash, create steady long-term wealth, and ultimately, your spend-happy pals will likely be asking how you probably did it.
Isn’t it time we rethought our definition of “wealthy?”
We’re republishing this text to assist out our newer readers.
What are you doing to climb in direction of monetary freedom? Willing to share the place on the ladder you’re? What’s labored effectively for you, and what’s been robust?
Don’t be shy!

Wikileaks has released this Tuesday more than 8,000 documents that reveal some valuable secrets from the United States Central Investigation Agency (CIA).
The announced was made by Julian Assange, the Wikileaks founder, who said that those files are “the most comprehensive release of U.S. spying documents ever,” according to NBC News.
All this information was obtained from an “isolated, high-security network” in Langley, Virginia, according to Wikileaks press release that can be found on its website. Wikileaks says that the collection, named “Vault 7”, is the largest ever publication of confidential documents on the agency.
The revealed documents want to demonstrate how significant are the hacking capabilities of the CIA. It is important to know that the hacking division of the American agency had more than 5,000 users and produced a lot of viruses and malware, according to the Wikileaks’s press release.
CIA can hear us by our phones
One of the most shocking “secrets” that has been revealed in these documents is the fact that the CIA could be able to use smart televisions as listening devices. Also, they could beat down the encryption of communications platforms like WhatsApp or even Signal, which seems to be the most secure communication app.
This hacking project had the capacity to operate systems of iPhones and Android phones, even Microsoft Windows phones to use them as microphones. Also, the popular Smart TV from Samsung could be transformed into spy tools, and the CIA could record conversations even when the TV is off.
All these technologies were developed by the CIA’s Mobile Devices Branch (MDB) which works in the possibility of remotely hack and control smartphones like the popular iPhone or Android Operating System devices. Wikileaks said that the “infected” devices could have the capacity to send the CIA information like the user’s location, text communications, audio, and they also could activate the phone’s camera and microphone anytime they need it, being undetectable for the phone’s user.
Also, those documents demonstrate that the CIA counts with a specialized unit that develops different kinds of malware to infest and control not only iPhones but all the Apple products that use iOS, such as iPads or iPods.
“The disproportionate focus on iOS may be explained by the popularity of the iPhone among social, political, diplomatic and business elites,” says WikiLeaks.
Also, in July 2016, it was published that there are already more than 1 million iPhones in the world, which represents a lot of users.
But our phones are not the only ones
The “Vault 7” documents continue demonstrating the “hacking power” of the famous Agency and show that they also run efforts to infect the Microsoft Windows devices to control them too. Those efforts may include jumping viruses wich infects software distributed by CDs, DVDs, and USBs.
Other Operating Systems are not safe either since the CIA has developed, according to this revelations, other malware to control not only Windows but also Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, and much more. It seems like they are trying to cover all the possibilities with this hacking platforms.
On the Wikileaks website, they say that the “part one” of Vault 7 was obtained in 2016, but that they will give more details at the time of its publication. So, it means that they will publish all those 8,000 documents obtained from the CIA records, but they don’t say when it will happen.
More about Wikileaks and its work
Wikileaks was founded by Julian Assange in 2006, and he shows it as a “media organization” and “associated library,” according to its website.
Wikileaks is known for publishing reports and filtered documents with content that they call “of public interest.” Since 2006, the Wikileaks database has grown up a lot, and now they have approximately 1,2 millions of documents with sensitive information.
In November 2010, Wikileaks published more than 250,000 documents with communications between the U.S. Department of State and U.S. embassies around the world with the famous name “Cablegate, famous” and it represented the biggest secret documents filtration in history. This information was given to prominent newspapers around the world like The New York Times, Le Monde, El Pais, etc.
Its creator, Julian Assange, won the Amnesty International’s prize in 2009 for announcing to the world the extrajudicial murderers in Kenia. Also, in 2008, he won the Index on Censorship Prize of The Economist magazine.
Assange said once that he has published more classified documents that all the world press together.
With those new revelations, Wikileaks shows that they continue on the news scope and that they will go on with the job of disclosing more sensitive information and classified documents from authorities like the United States CIA.

Seaside >> The journey of the Epic Ride Flag will come full circle when it returns to its home at the California Central Coast Veterans Cemetery this weekend to be unfurled and flown over the cemetery once again.
The flag was the centerpiece of the Epic Ride for Dignity and Remembrance, an effort to raise money by the 2017 Epic Riders, motorcycle enthusiasts from American Legion Post 31 in Salinas, for the continued development and maintenance of the Veterans Cemetery in Seaside on former Army Land.
“The riders raised about $25,000 with donations still coming in,” said Candy Ingram, Central Coast Veterans Cemetery spokeswoman. “The riders are committed to seeing the cemetery being completed and are talking about doing something again next year.”
At a ceremony at the Veterans Cemetery starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Rep. Jimmy Panetta, D-Carmel Valley, will present the flag to the riders and Michael Magee, the California Department of Veterans Affairs assistant deputy secretary for outreach, cemeteries and memorials, will accept the flag from the riders.
The flag will be flown each Memorial Day at the Veterans Cemetery going forward.
Fundraising will primarily support the second phase of the cemetery which will include in-ground burials, something the first phase does not include.
The first phase, which only afforded the inurnment of cremains, has received as many as six veterans each day into the columbaria as their final resting place since the cemetery opened in October 2016.
The 2017 Epic Flag was escorted on a month-long, 10,000-mile cross-country trek by three American Legion riders: Hy Libby, Rick Phinney and Steve Culver. The motorcyclists took the flag from the Central Coast Veterans Cemetery to stops across the U.S. including Arlington National Cemetery where it was unfurled and flown over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
The Epic Riders started on Sept. 4 and completed their journey on Oct. 6, raising awareness about the veterans cemetery as well as funds for the next phase of the 11-phase project that will occupy 78 acres on what was once Fort Ord.
According to the Central Coast Veterans Cemetery Foundation, the local matching funds needed to secure Federal Veterans Cemetery Construction funds will total $3.5 million, of which $1.3 million is already in hand.
The Central Coast Veterans Cemetery is owned and operated by the California Department of Veterans Affairs. Local funds must be provided to match federal grant funds in the construction of each phase of the cemetery’s development.
“The cemetery foundation has sent $633,000 to the state which starts the planning and design aspect of the next phase but an environmental impact report still has to be done,” said Ingram.
Completion of second phase of the veterans cemetery is expected to take three to five years.
“The whole intent is to honor our veterans. The Monterey Peninsula has a tremendous military history. Millions passed through the gates of Fort Ord and we do this to honor them and to assure that future generations understand the contributions and sacrifices they made so that we can enjoy, on an everyday basis, the freedoms we might take for granted,” said Ingram.
For more information, contact the Central Coast Veterans Cemetery Foundation at 831-218-1780 or visit the Foundation’s website at www.ccvcf.org.

Cows as it turns out appear to have personality traits similar to humans. New research indicates that cows’ personality traits include optimism and pessimism and that these traits affect how cows cope with stress. The findings have major implications for factory farming and animal welfare in general.
Cows can be pessimistic and it affects their ability to cope with stress
New research from the University of British Columbia suggests dairy cows show personality traits like pessimism and optimism from a young age and their inherent outlook can predict their ability to cope with stress…
The study which was published last month in Scientific Reports, tested how calves that had previously been identified as fearful, sociable, pessimistic or optimistic reacted under stressful situations like being transported from one barn to another…the more pessimistic calves were more vocal and had higher eye temperatures, which are signs of stress.
A UBC study published earlier this year found that dairy calves have distinct personality traits from a very young age. Researchers from the faculty of land and food systems tested calves for pessimism, fearfulness and sociability at both 25 and 50 days old, and learned that each calf has an inherent outlook that changes little with the passing of time.
Now the researchers have followed up that original study by examining those same calves at four months of age, to find out how their personality traits govern their reactions to real-world situations.
One routine procedure that can potentially stress calves is transportation. It’s novel for them, there’s a lot of handling involved, and the calves usually don’t enter the trailer by themselves but have to be pushed in. Since we had to transport those calves from one barn to another as part of our routine management, it was a good opportunity to measure their reactions to a potential stressor…
Farm animals often vocalize when they’re in distress. It’s a good marker of the intensity of the emotional response; the more they vocalize, the more stressed they are. Typically, the temperature in their eyes also increases when they feel threatened, because the sympathetic nervous system is activated and that increases the blood flow to the eyes. In this study we used a combination of both measures.
As expected, having information about the fearfulness trait allowed us to predict how calves reacted to transportation. What surprised us was that the pessimism trait was an even better predictor. The more pessimistic calves vocalized more often and had higher eye temperatures after transportation. We speculate that the more pessimistic calves have more negative expectations about any new experience.-Benjamin Lecorps, Ph.D./ABD, researcher

A friend told me once that Southern California reminds her Morocco ( North Africa), same climate, same decor, like in Marroco we have fresh dates, olive oil, wine, avocado, almonds….really similar. I like to think I am living in Morocco.
Again savors, smells , scents can transport your senses far away. This is what I like about cooking. I like thinking of the dish I will prepare, the ingredients, where to find the best ones.
My mother makes the most delicious Moroccan Couscous. In the kitchen we all help to do the prep. She makes it during cold winter or warm summer, it does not matter, Couscous is always delicious, and when we have some fresh Mint in my father’s Vegetables/ herb gardens we finish our Moroccan Feast with a refreshing and sweet Moroccan Mint Tea.
This recipe is from my mother, who received it from her mother, who learned the technique from a Fatma in Moroccan where my grandparents and their daughters used to live in the 40′s.
The great thing about couscous, is that the day after and the following day the Couscous dish is so delicious.
This is the perfect dish for the entire family.
Place the meat, onion, tomatoes, oil, salt, pepper and spices in the bottom of a large soup/ stew pot. Cook for about 10 minutes on medium heat.
Add 3 quarts of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and simmer for 40 minutes.
Oil the steamer basket of a couscoussier and place the couscous grains in it and steam the couscous until al dente above the meat/ tomato pot.
Once the couscous is al dente place the couscous grains still hot on a kitchen cloth and flatten evenly the grains with a spoon. Add 1 Tablespoon of butter and rub it all over the couscous with a fork.Set aside.
Add all remaining vegetables in the pot and cook for another 25 minutes.
Place the steamer basket on top of the couscoussier, and steam the couscous a second time for 10 minutes. Once the couscous is soft place again the couscous grains still hot on a kitchen cloth and flatten the coucous with a spoon. Add the rest of the butter,salt and rub it all over the couscous with a fork.
Harrissa sauce: on the side mix some broth with the Harrissa spice, add some raisins and pour on the couscous
Serve the meat/ vegetables over the couscous grains.

The LED is auto-dimming for night time viewing, but is bright enough to see under direct sunlight. The aftermarket speedometer gauge bezel comes in black or chrome. Teltek Gauges are made in the USA, and come with a lifetime warranty.
Our Teltek digital speedometer gauge is designed to work with the existing MAG sensor in your truck. The precise gauge reads speed from your sensor ranging from 0 to 150mph. The Teltek digital speedometer gauge comes with an odometer and trip meter. Installation and calibration is simple. Teltek USA gauges come with easy installation instructions and toll free number for installation or operation questions.

Speedometers have an interesting history in mechanics. The first speedometer was invented in 1888 by Josip Belusic from Croatia, and was actually named a velocimeter. They were first seen in automobiles in the 1900’s and then became standard a decade later. Modern digital speedometer gauges are installed on the rear of the truck transmission. The sensor is a flat metal plate with serrations placed between a helix and a sensor that reads magnetic fields. The serrations move between the helix and sensor creating a magnetic the field. The pulse of the magnetic field is turned into a speed reading and sent along to the digital speedometer gauge.
Odometers record the distance traveled by a truck over the lifetime of the vehicle. They can be both mechanical and electronic. The Teltek USA gauge is an electronic digital truck odometer gauge. The mechanic gauges show numbers on six to seven wheels, each wheel having 0 through 9 imprinted on them. The lowest digit in the U.S.A. is usually tenths of a mile, while the highest digit is either tens of thousands, or on newer diesel trucks, hundreds of thousands. Modern electric odometers are more difficult to tamper with, as compared to their mechanical counterparts. All new odometers add mileage driven in reverse to the vehicle total. Trucks are required to have odometers in order to be resold. The digital truck speedometer gauge includes an odometer to make that process easier.
A trip meter, or trip odometer, is like an odometer, but it can be reset at anytime by the truck owner. Trip meters are sometimes utilized to calculate gas mileage at different truck loads, or to record mileage for mileage reimbursements by trucking clients. When following directions that are indicated by miles between actions, a trip meter can help show when the next action will occur. For these reasons, the trip meter is included on the digital semi speedometer gauge. Install reliable Teltek digital speedometer gauges on your trucks and never worry again about the accuracy of the speedometer, odometer or trip meter.

Very sad news for the Osbourne family. Jack Osborne was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. Less than two months after he and fiancée Lisa Stelly welcomed their first daughter, Pearl Clementine, the 26-year-old new dad revealed that he has multiple sclerosis. For more on this story, keep reading.
Jack Osbourne, for those of you living under a rock for the past 9 years or so is Ozzy and Sharon Ozbourne’s son. Jack stared in their reality television show “The Osbournes” and had a very public battle with drug addiction and weight issues (both of which he has overcome beautifully).
How Jack found out he has MS.
Jack went into the hospital to get tests after he suddenly lost 60 percent of his vision in his right eye. It was during those tests that they discovered the underlying cause of his eye problems, MS. What is MS? Multiple Sclerosis is an autoimmune disease that attacks the central nervous system, eye sight loss is one of the many symptoms people get, others include numbness in limbs, paralysis and tremors.
Although at this point MS is not curable, there are treatments available to slow down the progression of the disease. Jack will have a treatment regimen that includes daily drug therapy, holistic therapies and a stress reductive lifestyle to help him stay healthy.
Here’s what Jack had to say about finding out about the diagnosis.
“While I was waiting for the final results, I got really, really angry. Then I got really sad for about two days, and after that I realized: ‘Being angry and upset is not going to do anything at this point—if anything it’s only going to make it worse,’” … “‘Adapt and overcome’ is my new motto.”
Not surprisingly, the Osbourne family is rallying behind Jack, as is his fiancee. We wish Jack strength and good health as he fights his battle with Multiple Sclerosis.

A Met Police officer who was jailed for sharing vile pictures of the bodies of two murdered sisters also used racist slurs in WhatsApp message that boasted about a cover up of an alleged assault.
Deniz Jaffer, 47, was jailed for two years and nine months last week after taking photographs of Bibaa Henry and Nicole Smallman while managing a cordon where the sisters had been stabbed to death in bushes at a country park in north London.
His conduct was described as 'appalling and inexplicable' along with colleague Jamie Lewis.
PC Jaffer, 47, was charged with misconduct in a public office over the pictures
However, Jaffer has now also been found to have sent racist WhatsApp messages claiming police would let off three 'white fellas' arrested on suspicion of assaulting a small group of Asian men - whom he described using the racist slur 'P*****'.
The officer said the Met would not contact the Asian victims regarding the incident, but would close the case anyway on the basis they were unwilling to cooperate with police, The Times reported.
An Independent Office for Police Conduct report said Jaffer's phone contained 'numerous incidences of racial discrimination and racist language' over a period in June.
Just five days after taking the pictures of Ms Henry and Ms Smallman, he wrote to a WhatsApp group about the incident: 'Five p*****. Two with bloody nose and the other three ran off but their car has been seized.'
'Three white fellas arrested for ABH but we have had a chat off the record.
'We will release them under investigation and close it later saying victim unwilling without contacting the p*****.'

Global star Lorde released “Mood Ring,” the last single off her third album Solar Power, which just came out last Friday.
Lorde Had Some Friends Joining Her on “Mood Ring”
“Mood Ring” arrives just at the heels of the album’s title track “Solar Power” and “Stoned at the Nail Salon.” So far, Lorde has been showing us how much growing she has done in the past four years since her sophomore album Melodrama. The last two singles were definitely surprising as they marked the star’s return to music; but “Mood Ring” shows a very different side of her.
When you listen to “Mood Ring,” you might wonder why Lorde’s vocal tone sounds dissimilar to what she usually sounds like. The answer is – she got her friends Phoebe Bridgers, Clairo, James Milne Walsh & Marlon Williams to join her on the background vocals. The result? An angelic yet soothing tune.
A Satirical Yet Soothing Song
The song’s lyrics match its musical vibe. Lorde satirically sings about the ways in which people try to stay emotionally and spiritually connected to themselves and the world. “Ladies, begin your sun salutations. Transcendental in your meditations. You can burn sage, and I’ll cleanse the crystals. We can get high, but only if the wind blows…I can’t feel a thing. I keep looking at my mood ring. Tell me how I’m feeling. Floating away, floating away.”
On the music video for the song, Lorde surprised fans by going fully blonde; matching perfectly with her soothing green outfit. She dances along with her friends while relaxing in a spa, making us all want to go to one ASAP.
On Apple Music, Lorde shared more details about her inspiration for “Mood Ring”. “It’s full satire, inhabiting a person who’s feeling really lost and disconnected in the modern world and is trying to feel well, however she can. I felt like so many people would be able to relate to that. It was funny and gnarly to write. The melodies and the production were a great blend of that early-2000s sound and then that kind of Age of Aquarius energy. They both very much had to be present on this song.”

Over time, the game evolved, and today, Satta Matka revolves around guessing the correct numbers to win substantial sums of money. It has become an integral part of the gambling culture in India, captivating millions of players who are enticed by its thrill and potential rewards.
What is Satta Matka?
Origins and History
Satta Matka traces its roots back to the pre-independence era when it was known as Ankada Jugar. It started as a form of lottery where random numbers were drawn from a pot, and players would place bets on these numbers. As time progressed, the game transformed into a more structured format, and various modifications were introduced to enhance its appeal and simplicity.
Basics of the Game
Satta Matka is a numbers-based game that operates on the principle of probability. Players place bets on numbers ranging from 0 to 9, with different combinations and permutations available. These numbers are then entered into a system, and winners are determined based on a random selection process. The game can be played at various intervals, with results declared multiple times throughout the day, making it highly engaging and fast-paced.
Understanding the Rules
To participate in Satta Matka, it’s crucial to grasp the fundamental rules of the game. Let’s take a closer look at the key aspects of playing Satta Matka.
Types of Bets
In Satta Matka, different types of bets are available, each offering unique odds and payouts. The most common types include Single, Jodi, Panna, Sangam, and Half Sangam. Single and Jodi bets involve betting on a single number or a pair of numbers, respectively. Panna bets require selecting three numbers, while Sangam and Half Sangam bets involve choosing three numbers in a specific order.
Choosing the right numbers is crucial in online matka games. While luck plays a significant role, some strategies can improve your chances of winning. Analyzing past results, studying patterns, and keeping track of trends can help you make informed decisions while selecting your numbers. However, it’s important to remember that Satta Matka is a game of chance, and outcomes are unpredictable.
Strategies for Winning
Although Satta Matka is a game of luck, certain strategies can increase your odds of winning. Here are some essential tips to keep in mind:
Analyzing Past Results
Studying past results and identifying patterns can provide valuable insights into the game. By analyzing the historical data of winning numbers, you may uncover trends or recurring combinations that can help you make more informed bets.
Managing Your Bankroll
Effective bankroll management is crucial in any form of gambling. Set a budget for your Satta Matka bets and stick to it. Avoid chasing losses or betting more than you can afford to lose. Responsible bankroll management ensures that you can continue playing without facing severe financial consequences.

Kalyan Matka is another prominent Satta Matka market known for its extensive betting options and exciting gameplay. It has gained popularity due to its transparency and fair play, ensuring a level playing field for all participants.

The game’s outcomes are ultimately determined by chance, and winning requires a combination of luck and skill. Embrace the unpredictability of the game and approach it with a sense of enjoyment rather than relying solely on calculated strategies.
Safety and Legality

And I'm still on a blueberry kick. The blueberries are the size of grapes. So I felt the need to stock up.
|After baking, waiting to cool.|
You're going to be glad that I stocked up.
Because I made cheesecake bars for you! I needed to show you my latest attempt to turn this little blue superfood into something less than healthy.
AND this is a great recipe because it stars...your food processor!
I love my mixer, but I my food processor is a star, too. And it rarely gets to do something as fun as dessert. It usually gets the pleasure of making things like gazpacho or hummus.
Not that gazpacho isn't fun. But, let's be honest, it ain't cheesecake bars, either.
sugar, graham crackers, butter.
And in case you're wondering, this one little package contains exactly nine graham crackers.
Isn't that convenient. I have also read that nine graham crackers makes 1 1/2 cups of graham cracker crumbs. But then I read that the containers of already-ground-up graham cracker crumbs aren't as good as doing it yourself.
Just sharing my research with you, people.
I just realized that I spent years in law school learning how to research and now I use my skills to research how to make a better graham cracker crust.
My profs would be proud.
Pour the crust into an 8x8 dish that you greased. This is so my favorite 8x8 dish, because it comes with a lid. How handy. It's the little things in life, y'all.
Pat it out evenly - but not too hard (you don't want it too pressed or you'll never get it out of the pan) - with a measuring cup, if you like.
Now for the filling. Use the bowl of the food processor again. I don't even wash it, and you can't tell. Just scrape it clean from crust and you're good to go.
cream cheese, sugar, eggs, lemon, vanilla paste.
I love vanilla bean paste. You can certainly use vanilla extract, but this little jar of paste is a treasure.
Speaking of, I'm out. I used the last little dab in these bars. This is a tragedy! I love this stuff and now it's gone! So I just put the empty bottle back into the cabinet. Because it made me feel better to do that.
And I have this huge mess to clean up on my counter and I was too lazy to throw the vanilla bean paste jar in the trash.
Anyway, spread the filling on the crust. (My camera ate my picture of my smooth, creamy filling. I hate it when that happens.)
And top with blueberries.
|This is how we roll in our house.|
Seriously, you'll want to take them out when they're still very jiggly in the middle, because they will set up as they cool. And if you take it out when it's already set, then you've over-baked it. Just another handy research tip for you.
Next time, I'm trying these with raspberries and lime juice instead of blueberries and lemon.
Life on the edge is what I'm all about.
Blueberry Cheesecake Bars
Adapted from Tyler Florence
9 graham crackers (the amount in one sleeve of crackers)
4 T butter
1/4 cup sugar
2 8 oz. packages cream cheese, at room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
Juice of 2 lemons
1/2 tsp vanilla bean paste (or vanilla extract)
1 1/2 cups blueberries
In the bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade, grind the crust ingredients until it is the texture of sand. Spread evenly in an 8x8 baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Use your spatula to scrape the food processor bowl clean. Pat the crust in the bottom but don't press too hard or you won't be able to get them out.
Return the bowl and the blade to the food processor base. Add the filling ingredients, except for the blueberries, to the food processor bowl and blend until smooth and creamy. Spread the filling on top of the crust. Top evenly with blueberries.
Bake in a 325 degree oven for about 30-35 minutes. The cheesecake will still be jiggly in the middle but it will set as it cools. Allow the bars to come to room temperature before you refrigerate them for at least 4 hours or overnight before slicing and serving.
