Americans Calling Buffalo Tragedy the ‘Rittenhouse Effect’ as White Man Travels 3 Hours to Shoot Black Victims
Out of respect for the victims and their families, there will be limited comment here about the shooting itself. Additionally, there will be many more details known four to five days from the immediate reaction. We do know the shooter was 18, he traveled hours to a black neighborhood in Buffalo, and just last night – LAST NIGHT – Tucker Carlson said this:
“It doesn’t exist” pic.twitter.com/hAhr8tlrYT

Far right terrorism doesn’t exist. It isn’t terrorism when white people do it.
It is always a little dangerous placing too much symbolism into any one occurrence, no matter the pattern, it all gets down to one sick mind. But depending upon the scenario, this could easily fit the pattern of “stochastic terrorism,” something we’ve discussed at this site for a long time. For anyone unfamiliar with the concept (I was until taught), the term refers to situations where a constant message, whether it is from Trump about the summer of 2020 and “burning cities down” or Tucker Carlson and his “great replacement” theory, a lone wolf will eventually take that message and act on it.

Here we have yet another white 18 year old, a teen, like Rittenhouse, who traveled to a big city with a black neighborhood and went hunting with his assault rifle. Rittenhouse illegally took a weapon of war (Assault rifles OFTEN “kill” people that handguns would only injure), across two states to “protect property,” in reality he was surely dying to shoot someone black. Upon the police confronting him and his victims he lifted his rifle and yelled “Friendly,” just as in war. Rittenhouse was then lauded as a hero.
Obviously Buffalo is different in that this young person had to know there was nothing heroic about a mass shooting. And yet many Americans are convinced that Rittenhouse’s celebrity status among the right isn’t meaningless. And remember, we’re only talking about an 18-year-old, a kid who was sixteen when Rittenhouse shot, and 17-18 when he was lauded as a hero. A troubled enough teen could have used some of that reasoning, somehow. At least, many Americans think so because “Rittenhouse” is trending on Twitter:
I want to wake up in a country where a white guy with a gun live-streaming murdering Black people, who regurgitates white replacement theory he heard from Tucker Carlson, isn’t a new right wing cultural hero like Kyle Rittenhouse.

The shooter is an 18-year-old white male who traveled from outside Buffalo! Eleven of the 13 people who were shot were Black.
Just another peaceful Tucker viewer.
He will probably get a white pro-Trump judge that will set him free just like Kyle Rittenhouse!

We are witnessing the Kyle Rittenhouse effect.

The shooting in Buffalo is the result of Fox News and the GOP praising Kyle Rittenhouse as a “hero” for shooting 2 innocent people — to death — and facing no legal consequences. It’s the result of Rittenhouse getting to meet the President at Mar-A-Lago to celebrate his acquittal.
— Dash Dobrofsky (@DashDobrofsky) May 14, 2022
The Buffalo shooter is a terrorist.
Kyle Rittenhouse is a terrorist.
White mass shooters who target minorities are domestic terrorists.
It's not mental illness, it's terrorism.

Ohanaeze Ndigbo Nullifies Ex-Communication Tag Imposed On Chief John Uche By Dubious Members Of The Cabal
Posted on August 10, 2022
It was an emotional atmosphere on Tuesday 9th August, 2022, at the Ohaneze Ndigbo Secretariat in Surulere area of Lagos State, where the amiable President, Chief Solomon Aguene, demonstrated leadership maturity by nullifying the ex-communication status wrongly imposed on the pioneer President the group, Chief John Uche, by dubious members of the cabal in the State.
P.M.EXPRESS reports that the now disbanded members of cabal under the name of Ohanaeze Elders Forum, led by Chief Oliver Akubueze, had announced that Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State had excommunicated Chief John Uche and asked Ndigbo not to have any dealings with him for some years.
However, Chief Aguene, having gone through the allegations leveled against him and found out that they were false, he apologized on behalf of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State and subsequently nullified it. Aguene as well went ahead to honour him with an outstanding leadership award as the founder of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State.
In an address presented by Chief Aguene to Ohanaeze Ndigbo on the purported ex-communication of Chief Uche, in the presence of Igbo sons and daughters including the members Supreme Council of Ezendigbo in Lagos State led by Eze Lawrence Nnamdi Eze and his deputy, Eze Vincent Iwobi and others, it stated the following:
“With Profound respect to Ndigbo and Nigerians in general, let me apologize to my Predecessor, my mentor, and my brother, High Chief John Uche, founder and first elected President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State”.
“High Chief John Uche spearheaded my election campaign from 2017 – 2018 and led me to victory. He introduced me to IMEOBI, Ohanaeze Ndigbo highest policy making body in Igboland and also to various Igbo leaders that I know today.”
“Unfortunately, after my swearing in on 16th June, 2018, the phantom crises set in, which was a creation of the so called Ikeja Mafia and members of cabal headed by Chief Uche Dimgba (Alias Eze Okpotemba) and Chief Oliver Akubueze.”
“They saw Chief Uche as brilliant, highly educated, experienced and knowledgeable in all spheres of endeavour, hence they saw him as a big clog against their ambition in Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State Chapter. They saw Chief Uche more sophisticated to handle and more over, he does not believe in cutting corners hence the trumped up charges that were leveled against him to scheme him out in order to enable them hijack the scheme of things in Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State.”
“The cheap political intrigues that characterized the excommunication of Chief John Uche was the beginning of my error as the President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State.”
The Ohanaeze Elders Council was hurriedly formed to fight Chief John Uche even when everybody knew that it was his right as the founder and first elected President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State to head the Chairmanship of Ohanaeze Elders Council in Lagos State.”
“I, Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene, The President Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State, hereby declared today 9th August, 2022, as one of the happiest days in my life for the available opportunity I have to clear my troubled conscience of evil machination, which I was lured into by chronic fraudsters, who have no visible means of existence rather than fraud and deceit.”
“I cannot stop thanking the Almighty God for the grace and the opportunity I have to disconnect myself from unrepentant fraudsters, whose anything in their lives are fraud and forgery. A case in point is that I set up an Electoral Committee and appointed Chief Oliver Akubueze as Chairman, who craftily opened an account for an adhoc committee and racked over N40m in Lagos State under the false pretence of electoral fee, up till today, no account has been rendered to any quarters.”
“I also use this opportunity to address a lot of propaganda and misinformation being carried out against Chief John Uche, which had been disturbing my conscience. Therefore, I am here to clarify some issues and ask the public to dispel the ignorance being exhibited in the real heart of the matter in Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State.”
“Today we shall put things straight in Ohanaeze Lagos State to enable reasoning confront reality.”
“After going through the listed excommunication charges against Chief John Uche, Ohanaeze and generality of Ndigbo found him innocent and clean of the stated charges. He was not informed or invited by the musketeers, typified by Chief Uche Dimgba and Chief Oliver Akubueze, to state his own side of the story on the matter before pronouncement of excommunication, which is a taboo in Igbo Land. Therefore, the charges and the excommunication are hereby declared null and void and of no effect whatsoever” the President, Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State pronounced.
Chief Aguene also thanked those who intervened to ensure that there was reconciliation especially the Chairman of Supreme Council of traditional rulers, Eze Lawrence Nnamdi Eze, Ezendigbo in Mushin, Eze John Nwosu, Eze Sylvester Oriaku, Ezendigbo Coker/Aguda and those who have contributed in one way or the other to ensure that peace returned to Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State.
In response, Chief Uche commended Chief Aguene for his courage to open up and apologize over what happened and he was convinced that he was lured into it by members of the cabal.
He gave a summary of how Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State started and presented some documents to prove that he was the founder and the first President that created branches of Ohanaeze Ndigbo in the Local Government areas in Lagos State.
In view of the development, Chief Uche stated that he has forgiven those who offended him in the spirit of reconciliation and raised Chief Solomon Ogbonna Aguene’s hand as the authentic President of Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State.
He also promised to work to restore Ohanaeze Ndigbo as it used to be when it started and promised to promote, reconciliation, peace and unity in Ohanaeze Ndigbo Lagos State.
There were tears of joy as women sang various songs to praise Chief Aguene and Chief Uche for having the courage to reconcile for the interest of Ndigbo in Lagos State.

PowerPoint offers useful optional screen tools that help position and align slide elements. You can display rulers, gridlines, and guides on the Slide pane and change the magnification of the current slide.
To create an effective presentation that contains equations, you need to use a special mathematical style. This style involves using special characters and syntax, a special type of line breaks, delimiters, and requirements for superscripts and subscripts.
The PDF file format is often used when it is necessary to prepare a PowerPoint presentation for printing, viewing, or e-mailing, as well as for format-preserving sharing and security purposes. The PDF version of the presentation can be viewed and printed by those who do not have PowerPoint.
Names, addresses, and quotes are often used in PowerPoint presentations, and they should be written as is, i.e., they need to skip the spell checking. You may have to use foreign language words, phrases, or misspelled phrases.
Sometimes you have no time to finish the slide or find at the last moment that it isn't important for this presentation. On this occasion, you can save your presentation to a different file, delete the slide, and use the backup file later. However, you will not have all the notes, highlights, and drawings you made during the presentation. Instead, you can hide the slide and have all the information in one place.
If you want to make your presentation non-modifiable, you save it to *.pdf format or *.ppsx format (PowerPoint Show format - see how to automatically show your presentation). However, if you want to publish the presentation on your personal or corporate Web site, exporting slides as separate pictures is better.
If you plan to print your presentation in black and white (sometimes it is cheaper and even more informative than printing in color), you can instantly check its appearance without color.
Instead of opening the PowerPoint presentation file and then clicking F5 or using other ways to start the presentation, you can save your PowerPoint file in the PowerPoint Show format. Also, this format prevents changes in the presentation.
By default, the PowerPoint spelling checker checks the spelling in all text elements in the presentation: slides, outlines, note pages, and handout pages. Like other Microsoft applications such as Word and Excel, PowerPoint underlines all words that it cannot find in its dictionary and might be misspelled with a red wavy underline.

The uses of aluminum are varied and diverse. Today it is used in commerce, transportation and other industries. Some of its applications are well known, while others are not so obvious. Apart from consumer products, the metallic element is also used in glass creation. Use in Households This metallic element is used for door knobs, window frames and kitchen utensils.
Aluminum is used in health and hygiene products, as well as a food additive and in the manufacture of electrical items like light bulbs and phone lines. Aluminum is the second most commonly used metal in industry; it is an important component in automobiles, building items and packaging materials.
Aluminum is the third most abundant metal in the Earth’s crust, and the third most abundant element overall.. No other metal can compare to Aluminum when it comes to its variety of uses. Some uses of aluminum may not be immediately obvious; for example, did you know aluminum is used in the manufacturing of glass?
Aluminium is used in a huge variety of products including cans, foils, kitchen utensils, window frames, beer kegs and aeroplane parts. This is because of its particular properties. It has low density, is non-toxic, has a high thermal conductivity, has excellent corrosion resistance and can be easily cast, machined and formed.
Aluminium is the most widely used non-ferrous metal. The global production of aluminium in 2016 was 58.8 million metric tons. It exceeded that of any other metal except iron (1,231 million metric tons). Aluminium is almost always alloyed, which markedly improves its mechanical properties, especially when tempered.
Aluminum foil is typically less than 0.15 mm (0.0060 in.) thick. Pure aluminum reacts rapidly with air to form a rustproof protective layer of aluminum oxide. Many cooking pots, pans, and tools are made of aluminum. Packaging represents about a fifth of all the aluminum used in the United States.
of aluminum. Starch, lime, and sodium sulphide are some examples. Cryolite, a chemical compound composed of sodium, aluminum, and fluorine, is used as the electrolyte (current-conducting medium) in the smelting operation.
Aluminum is an abundant metallic chemical element which is widely used throughout the world for a wide range of products. Many consumers interact with some form of it on a daily basis, especially if they are active in the kitchen. The element has an atomic number of 13, and it is identified with the ...
This week in our “Comprehensive Guide to Aluminum,” we first need to clarify a vastly common misconception: that aluminum, earth’s most abundant metal, is found free in nature.

How to Backup VMware VMs with Vinchin Backup & Recovery
In this chapter, I will be showing you how to backup VMware VMs with Vinchin Backup & Recovery. Let's get started.
First, I will go to the VM Backup module and then click Backup. The first step in a new backup job would be to select the target VM that I would like to include in this backup job. So on the left box first shows me the virtual infrastructures under the Hosts & Clusters category. Besides, in the drop-down menu, I can also select different views like VMs and templates, then all I see is the virtual machine. Another option is to go to the search bar to type in words related to the target VM. After then all the selected VMs will be displayed in the right box. Click the VM’s name, shows me the specific hard disk in this VM. I have the option to choose whether to exclude them or not.
Let's go ahead and select next.
In this step, I will be selecting a backup repository to store the selected VMs. In the drop-down, I will see the multiple options for different repositories. Usually, storage with more free space is recommended. Here I am gonna leave the local disk 1, and then move on to the next option.
Here we need to configure all features shown below one by one. But, if I have pre-configured these features and have created a new template in the Strategy page of the Resource menu, I have the option to find it directly from the drop-down list to complete this step.
Now Let’s quickly go through all the functions in order.
The first one is the time strategy. Run this job as scheduled or only once. If I select backup as scheduled mode, three backup modes are displayed: Full backup, Incremental backup, and Differential backup. I can check any one or two of the three-box, but not both Incremental and Differential backup. If only check the incremental backup box, it is the forever-incremental backup mode. Under this model, this job will perform full backup for the first time and then perform incremental backup forever to save the backup time. Right now I will check the full backup and incremental backup box as an example.
Next is to set a time strategy based on the backup modes I just selected for this job. We have three types: every day, every week, every month. It is pretty simple to understand as you can see. If I wanna repeat this job, enable repeat feature and then set the repeat interval and when to end the repeat. If there is new data generated every day, it is recommended to perform an incremental backup every day and full backup once a week.
Let’s keep going down to set up the Speed Controller.
If I want this job not to take up too much network bandwidth of the production environment at some specific time, I can control it’s speed here. Click Add, on this page I have the option to select limit as scheduled or perpetual limit. Then set an upper limit for the running speed. In this example, I will keep 10 MB/s, and click OK.
Next comes the storage strategy. Deduplication and compression. If you have no idea how to configure, just follow the default settings.
Then it’s retention policy. We have two retention modes, a number of restore points, and number of days. If I select a number of restore points, and then keep 30 restore points. In this situation the backups exceeded 30 restore points in storage will be auto-deleted. By the way, our retention policy for the VMware platform is based on each single restore point no matter it’s a full point or incremental, differential point.
Now let’s go to the advanced strategy.
First, I need to select serial or parallel as the snapshot mode of this backup job. If there is no business relationship between VMs, the serial mode is recommended. The backup server will take snapshots of all virtual machines one by one and complete transfer in order. Instead, if there is a business relationship between VMs and which requires all snapshots to be strictly some consistent, parallel is the best choice. Under this mode, the backup server will take snapshots of all virtual machines concurrently and then complete the transfer in turn.
If I select serial mode, then we have a new technology called “Create snapshot in advance”, which means the backup server can take the snapshot of the next target VM during the data transfer of the current VM. In this way, the backup time can be further shortened.
This is the multi-threading function. Here I need to set the number of threads during data transmission. If you have no idea how many threads are suitable for your environment, it is recommended to keep the default value for the first time, and later make the adjustment based on your environment.
The last one is the Bitdetector function, which is also a Vinchin technology that is used to skip the unnecessary data including swap files and unpartitioned space when doing the backup. Enabling this feature can further reduce the backup data size from the source and reduce the network load.
From here, let’s go to the transport mode configuration.
In the drop-down, there are multiple options for transport mode including LAN, Data Encryption, SAN, and HotAdd. The differences between these transport modes are shown below. In this example, I will be selecting LAN as the transmission network of this job.
Then it’s proxy. For this function, the best practice is that the backup server is installed on a physical machine. Then you can install proxy as a VM, and VMware ESXi will hot add the vmdk to proxy for high-speed data access. Before enabling proxy here, you need to deploy proxy VM in your environment by following the Vinchin installation guide. Then go to Resources - Proxy menu to add the proxy to Vinchin.
Let’s go ahead and go to the Individual strategy.
In this step, I will be selecting a specific block size to be created when processing backup data in backup storage. The default setting is 1024 KB.
Next is the Quiesced Snapshot. If enabling this feature, the file system or application on the VM will be kept in a consistent state via application-awareness processing before the VM snapshot is taken. If failed to take the Quiesced snapshot, the backup server will take a standard snapshot.
The last option is the VMware CBT function, which can improve the speed of the incremental backups.
Now let’s click Next to go to the review page where I can confirm all configurations. And I have option to give this backup job a unique name. Click submit to complete this backup job creation.
This is the backup job I just created. Click this button, shows me the schedule and retention policy of this job. Then as an example, I will start this job manually and click the job name to go to the job details page.
In the job details page I can clearly check the progress of this job. And on the top right, not only the basic info of this job but also the strategies I just configured for this job have been displayed.
Below is the Run log of this job, I can see that each step is carried out in order. It is a great place to make sure that everything is functioning properly or if you have any errors.
And here is the VM list, where shows me all the VMs included in this job including their total size, data size, transfer size, written size and other details. After this backup job is completed, I also have option to check the target VM box, then click the above “Operation” button, in the drop-down menu choose the backup modes. At this time this job will be performed at once for the selected VMs.
Then let’s go to the history job. Here I can see how many times this backup job has been performed before, success or not. Click this button, the specific VM info in this job will also be shown here. Now let's analyze these data, data size is 3.88GB, and the written size is 811.21MB, which shows the data size has been significantly reduced by our compression feature.
That’s all for today! Thank you!

2014 was a good year for Dubai's hotel industry, with the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM) having published a number of encouraging statistics.
The organisation revealed that some 11.63 million guests stayed in the emirate's hotel last year, which represents growth of 5.6 per cent compared to 2013.
A total of 44.66 million guest nights were recorded in Dubai over the 12-month period, up 7.4 per cent from the year before. The average duration of a visitor's stay increased from 3.78 days to 3.84 days.
He said that at the start of last year Dubai was home to 84,534 hotel rooms across 611 properties. By the end of 2014, this had grown to 92,333 rooms in 657 properties.
"The figures indicate that our hospitality industry is in a healthy state and, most importantly, that the growth is sustainable, which is crucial when it comes to meeting our vision for 2020 targets," Mr Almarri added.
With the emirate's authorities working tirelessly to ensure the target of attracting 20 million tourists to Dubai each year is achieved, the figures for 2014 are likely to only represent the start of a period of impressive growth for the hotel industry.
A total of 46 new hotels joined the market last year, leading to a 9.2 per cent increase in available rooms.

Episode 33 – Power Firming and Peak Shifting to Better Energy Delivery
September 30, 2011
In Episode 33 of The Wendel Forum(originally aired on Green 960 AM radio on September 24, 2011), show host Dick Lyons welcomes Peter Walters, COO of Zinc Air Inc. and an expert on the topic of how to deliver utility-scale energy (particularly from renewable sources) more efficiently. Peter provides explanations regarding the concepts of power firming and peak shifting, along with a number of other aspects related to safe and predictable energy delivery.
His company, which is based in Kalispell, Montana, is the developer of the Zinc Redox flow battery. According to the company’s website:
Zinc chemistry reduces cost through the use of abundant and locally available materials. Zinc Redox batteries have high energy density, low cost, safe operation, and are designed to be the greenest battery technology on the market. Using a flow battery technology, Zinc Redox focuses on grid storage applications including energy peak shifting and renewables (solar/wind) integration, designed to address the issues of matching demand with supply and variability.
Peter identifies several of the problems we face in the U.S. related to our delivery of energy to consumers. According to him, we waste about 60% of the energy we produce, we have an aging energy infrastructure, and demand continues to increase. Not only that, but new applications (such as electric vehicles) are placing new stresses on our energy delivery systems.
Current generation and transmission of energy throughout the grid fail to adequately address the issues of real time supply and demand. Historically, we have struggled to effectively store energy so that it can be harnessed and released to the grid when needed. The development of better battery storage technologies opens the possibility of load shifting and other tactics to deliver energy when supply is required, not just when we are able to produce it.
During his interview, Peter explains some of the limits of our current infrastructure and how battery storage may solve many of the problems. He and Dick also discuss some of the specific challenges as they relate to the production of energy from renewable sources, such as solar and wind.
Need more proof that this technology is heading in the right direction? The flow battery solutions being developed by Zinc Air start with safety. The chemicals used are non-toxic and not corrosive, a step forward from what we typically think of in batteries. The company spends a lot of time on the issue of safety in the product development and the installation of these systems, addressing concerns related to both man-made and natural disasters. And they know they have to do this all at the right price point.
This Saturday (October 1, 2011) tune in to The Wendel Forum at 11:30 a.m. on Green 960 AM radio for a conversation with Flory Wilson of B Labs, who will reveal the new Global Impact Investing Ratings System (GIIRS), which is a comprehensive and transparent system for assessing the social and environmental impact of companies and funds with a ratings and analytics approach analogous to Morningstar investment rankings and Capital IQ financial analytics.

September 2022, Virtual
September 29 2022, Virtual
Now in its 27th year, the Business Travel Awards
This year”s ITM (Institute of Travel Management) Industry Observer cites the fact that 60% of the report”s respondents believe Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to be a ”key strategic issue for the travel management industry”.
As the latest hot topic in business travel, CSR is becoming a well-known phrase. But it is a blanket term that covers widely separate issues ” from environmental responsibility to duty of care to the individual traveller ” and these must surely be addressed individually if they are ever to be conquered.
Much of CSR”s heightened importance during the last year undoubtedly comes from the furore over carbon emissions. The travel industry has ” quite unfairly in the view of most who work within it ” come under fire for its contribution to environmental damage. In fact transport (including everything from freight to sea travel), only accounts for 14% of global emissions, according to the recent Stern Report that addressed environmental concerns from an economic standpoint.
And the often-quoted air travel emissions statistic, showing that air travel accounts for just 1.6% of global greenhouse gases, surely shows that aviation is a relatively benign polluter. When you think that business travel makes up only a part of that percentage, it”s clear that some of the facts are getting in the way of a good story.
Nevertheless it looks as though the emissions hype is here to stay. The enormously complex issue of how businesses embrace this need for environmentally responsible travel needs a term all of its own (Corporate Green Responsibility, perhaps?) if it is ever to become a viable and workable arena.
Confusion arises from the outset when it comes to which areas of the industry should take responsibility, and where to turn to for advice. The recent survey by KDS and ACTE (Association of Corporate Travel Executives) into attitudes towards green travel returned some interesting results on this point. Of the 200 or so travel managers and business travellers worldwide who took part in the survey, 59% saw travel management companies (TMCs) as an expected source of information and advice on environmentally friendly travel.
But do TMCs have a complete solution? No, and they shouldn”t be expected to, according to ACTE executive director and chief staff officer Susan Gurley (pictured below left): ”Currently there is no communication between corporations and suppliers; only when the two sides start talking together can sustainable policies be reached.
”Corporate travel is a significant area for potential improvements and ACTE will be working closely with travel professionals to help spread the knowledge and skills that can help businesses meet this challenge.”
And there is the crux of the matter: there is great potential for business travel becoming more environmentally sound, but for that to happen every side of the industry has to do its part. A great many companies, from travel technology to airlines and hotel groups, have announced they have ”gone green” and will offer their customers the chance to ”offset” their carbon footprint. But it is not until they start working together that this will have any real impact.
As KDS marketing director EMEA Stanislas Berteloot (pictured right) put it: ”Most companies are sincere in their desire to cut and manage emissions and see travel as an area where improvements can be made. However, they are currently held back because the market doesn”t offer them the right tools to do this efficiently or on a large scale.
”Businesses need to be able to gauge carbon emissions when planning a trip, to weigh up greener alternatives at a glance, and to quickly generate management reports that give them a handle on this new area of data”.
In response to the 92% of attendees at ITM”s conference in May 2006, who thought CSR was a subject relevant to their role, ITM has made it the theme for this year”s event in March. Let the sustainable initiatives for environmentally responsible business travel begin and perhaps we can see a way through the current green smog.

As first reported by IBJ, burger and comfort food-focused chain Ford’s Garage is coming to Noblesville’s Hamilton Town Center this fall. Ford’s will go into the space formerly occupying Mo’s Irish Pub. It will be their first Indiana location joining 11 other locations in Florida and Michigan.
Ford’s Garage restaurants, which first debuted in Fort Meyers in 2012, are designed with vintage service stations in mind with an obvious nod to Ford automobiles and parts. The “bars feature prohibition-style elements of old brick, rich wood, and a hand-hammered copper bar top with a focus on American craft beer,” according to their website.
Ford’s Garage aims to be your neighborhood burger and beer joint — all ages welcome to visit and take pictures.

Some of the more exciting things I’ve experienced as a bisexual isn’t just the sex – it’s the ongoing process of learning how to be bisexual. Some of it is keeping tabs on how other bisexuals are handling their sexuality and what they may or may not be doing but a lot of my continuing education in this is going over what I’ve learned about myself over all these years.
Being bisexual isn’t static although it may seem that way and more so if you’re not always on the prowl for your favorite same-sex tidbits – there’s a lot of internal adjusting that goes on as well. Looking back over the years, I know I’ve adjusted my preferences a gazillion times, reexamined what I will and won’t do, and think about all the lessons learned, both good and bad, to ultimately decide if being bisexual is still a good way to be. I honestly don’t know if other bisexuals have this continuing education thing going on with them; hell, they probably don’t think about it as much as I do but just like other aspects of my life, I feel it’s important to know where I’ve been, to know where I am now, so I can see where I may be going in the future. And a lot of this ongoing learning is about not making some of the mistakes I made in the past and, yeah, even if they were happy mistakes.
I had been sitting here drinking coffee, watching “BBQ Pitmasters,” and messing with my devices when a question popped into my head: Do you know how to be bisexual? I ain’t gonna say that I know where this question came from because I don’t know… but it seemed like a valid question because accepting that you’re bisexual doesn’t automatically imbue you with how to go about being this way; unless you’re damned lucky to have someone mentoring you in this, it’s pretty much OJT and, most of the time, there’s no one to tell you how to learn the things you need to learn in order to fully comfortable with being bisexual and, as such, one of the first things you learn is that trial and error can be a real bitch of a way to learn about something.
This particular rabbit hole is pretty deep which is probably why a lot of people don’t spend any time thinking about what they know about being bisexual; I’ve been known to give myself a headache or two thinking about it. The continuing education is about awareness, staying in touch with yourself and your environment. How does this “bisexuals don’t really exist” thing affect you? Are you aware of your desires and, if you’re in a relationship, how does your desires play into this aspect of your life? Along this line, does your partner know or suspect that you’re bi and how does their behavior affect yours? What about other family, friends, and co-workers? Are you worried about what they might know or suspect? Indifferent about it?
Are you as up-to-date on what it means to be bisexual as you think you are? Strangely, given all that I’ve learned, I often find that I’m not as current as I’d like to be. It’s not as much about trends in that sense although, today, I’m learning about other aspects of bisexuality that, in my experiences, never existed before or, at the least, were never apparent enough to be an issue. Like, when I learned about the behavior of some folks who have same-sex experiences but will tell you in a heartbeat that they’re not bisexual and even though my personal thought is that this is just kinda crazy, being aware and up-to-date means that you take note of this and even give some thought about how this mindset may or could affect you.
I’ve been learning that some bisexuals know that they’re bi but unless they can find themselves in a same-sex relationship, to them, they haven’t validated themselves. You’ve been reading that I think this is a little nuts, too, but it’s still about being aware of things, to be able to see how other bisexuals are handling this for better or worse. I’ve learned that other bisexuals are more concerned with coming out than I can remember in the past and that it’s not necessarily a good or bad thing and, at a basic level, I’ve learned that more people are actively questioning their sexuality and looking for ways to gain the knowledge they need, like hooking up with their local LGBT community, seeking experienced bisexuals to act as mentors, and doing as much research on the Internet as they can. I’m continuing to learn how these new things I’ve been learning affect my own thinking about being bisexual; it’s not about changing the way I’m bisexual as much as it is being aware of things that may or may not impact me in the unforeseen future.
Is your bisexual education complete? I know that mine isn’t, just as I know that while it’s just fantastic to have a lot of experience, there’s still no such thing as learning too much about something that I could easily take for granted. I know what I know… but I also know what I don’t know and, yeah, I don’t know what I don’t know, too, which is exactly why I keep learning about being bisexual here in the 21st century.

Pedestrian Intentionally Struck by a Car in Massachusetts
Q: I was a pedestrian intentionally struck by a car in Massachusetts. Can I still collect money for injuries sustained in the automobile accident from the driver’s insurance company if the collision was intentional?
A: Yes. According to Massachusetts law, you will at least be covered up to the compulsory auto insurance limit of 20/40. Wheeler v. O’Connell, 297 Mass. 549 (1937); Cannon v. Commerce Insurance Company, 18 Mass. App. Ct. 984 (1984). If your injuries are severe enough to be worth more than the $20k compulsory limit, and additional coverage is available under the optional bodily injury portion of the insurance policy, you may also be able to collect additional money under specific circumstances. Insurance policies have an “intenional acts” exclusion beyond the 20/40 compulsory limits, but the Massachusetts Supereme Judicial Court has consistently held that that exclusion only applies where the insured specifically intends to cause the resulting or is substantially certain that the resulting harm will occur. Quincy Mutual Fire Ins. Co. v. Abernathy, 393 Mass. 81 (1984). “The focus of these cases is whether the insured intended the injury, not whether the insured intended the act.” Hanover Insurance Co. v. Talhouni, 413 Mass. 781, 784 (1992). It is the insurance company’s burden to prove that the injuries you sustained were what the driver intended to cause. This is very difficult for them to prove as you can imagine, because once the accident and injuries occur, people often try to minimize their role in the criminal act. “I only meant to scare him” or “I didn’t mean for him to get that hurt” are often the driver’s statements taken by the police. These statements can then be used to pursue additional money towards your injuries under the policy.

House GOP staffer disciplined for political work
SPRINGFIELD -- An Illinois House Republican staffer has been punished for performing political activities on state time.
Nicholas McNeely of Springfield was suspended for five days and was placed on six months probation for posting a comment on a political blog and for signing up to volunteer in a primary campaign.
McNeely was supporting state Rep. Kent Gaffney, R-Lake Barrington, in the primary election. Gaffney ultimately was defeated by David McSweeney.
“Rep. Kent Gaffney and I do not tolerate any prohibited political activity on state time,” Cross said in a statement Tuesday. “When we first learned of the allegation against one of our staff members, we investigated it immediately internally and then fully complied with the Inspector General’s investigation.”
Cross said Homer agreed with their disciplinary actions.
State law prohibits state employees from performing political activities during working hours. Employees are allowed to do political work if they use vacation, personal, or compensatory time.
McNeely in September posted a number of comments on the McHenry County Republican Blog criticizing McSweeney. One of the comments was posted during working hours, Homer found.
McNeely also signed up as a campaign volunteer on McSweeney’s website during working hours.
“McNeely admitted that he had volunteered in order to gather political intelligence on the opposition. He explained that this is a common tactic in political campaigns,” Homer wrote in his report. “He was unable, however, to justify or explain what he was doing on McSweeney’s campaign website during working hours.”
McNeely eventually took a leave of absence to work on Gaffney’s campaign. Gaffney declined to comment.
The McSweeney campaign accused two other House Republican staffers of doing political work on state time, but Homer said those charges were unfounded.
David Thomas can be reached at (217) 782-6292.

‘Tis the season for endless cookies and delicious sweets! We know it can be difficult to resist these yummy temptations, and we totally think it’s okay to indulge once in awhile. That being said, eating healthy during the holidays is easier than you might think! We’re here to share helpful tips and food ideas to keep you on the right track during this magical season.
We spoke with dietitian Joanne Larsen and she shared her top seven holiday foods that are actually good for you. “These are best in moderation, 1 average size serving,” Larsen says. Check them out below and be sure to read her expert advice as to why they’re healthy options!
Who doesn’t love butter? It always adds a bit of yumminess to your foods of choice, so you could say we were excited to learn it’s possibly good for us. “New research on butter shows that the fats in butter may be healthier than margarine because margarine contains partially hydrogenated or hydrogenated vegetable oils that contribute to heart disease because they may contain trans fats,” Larsen explains. Remember, moderation is key.
This classic drink is a must at almost every holiday party. And there’s always that one aunt who insists on making it spiked -- yes, please. Larsen explains, “Eggnog is basically egg + milk with some sugar and nutmeg sprinkled on top. Egg and milk are nature's two most perfect foods in nutrient composition.” Who knew nature had “perfect foods?” Larsen suggests sticking with 5 ounces of eggnog with or without alcohol.
3. Turkey Stuffing
Every family makes their stuffing in a unique way, but this one sounds especially delicious. “Bread, veggies (celery & onion) and butter flavored with chicken broth and seasonings is like eating buttered bread.” Larsen continues, “Don't go overboard! It’s best if the stuffing is made from whole grain bread to get your B vitamins, too.” Sounds easy enough. If you’re lucky enough to help make dinner for your family, give this a try!
Related: 5 Foods You Should Eat Mindfully
4. Candied Sweet Potatoes
“Yummy!” Larsen says. “These are another vegetable serving, often cooked in brown sugar and butter, but a good source of nutrients.” Did you know sweet potatoes are actually yams? They may not be as healthy as carrots, especially once we smother them in butter, but they have plenty of nutrients when cooked!
5. Green Bean Casserole
Another traditional holiday dish, green bean casserole seems to be a go-to for many families. “Make this with green beans, mushroom soup and fried mushrooms on top,” Larsen suggests. “You get two veggies and mushrooms are high in selenium, a mineral.” It may not have the fried onions on top, which some argue is the best part, but it sounds just as tasty nonetheless!
“These are fried potato pancakes for Hanukkah, often served with sour cream (lower in fat per teaspoon than butter) and / or applesauce.” Larsen explains. Anything with the word “fried” in it has our attention. And dipping these in applesauce? Yes please. Larsen continues, “Did you know that 10 pounds of potatoes cooked in milk and served with cabbage have 100 percent of your RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance)? OK you aren't going to eat that many potatoes!” For all you potato lovers out there, challenge accepted.
The beautiful thing about pies is there are so many to choose from! Larsen suggests, “Pumpkin or pecan pie (in moderation which would be 1/8 slice of pie once a week).” Two of our favorite kinds for sure. Larsen continues, “Pumpkin is a vegetable like sweet potatoes while pecans contain antioxidants that prevent free radical damage to your body.” Who knew! Be sure not to pass on the pie this year, it’s doing more for your body than you think.
Aside from specific foods, we also wanted to give you a cheat sheet for this holiday season when it comes to choosing healthier options! Nevine Duncan, a Nutrition Coach at Powerhouse Gym, shares her “choose this over that” food ideas to make navigating dinner options even easier:
Choose this over that:
- Poultry over ham
- Salads over casseroles
- Red wine over eggnog
- Baked fruit desserts over pie
- Veggies with gravy over stuffing
Red wine over eggnog? We can definitely get on board with that. Duncan also recommends, "Drinking a glass of water between drinks to keep you hydrated, full, and keep the hangovers away.” This advice can definitely be used past the holidays, too.
At the end of the day, no matter where you are or who you’re with, remember to be thankful for all that you have as we welcome this holiday season with open arms. Cheers to healthy eating and genuine times!

Purchased as part of "build-your-own-six-pack" at local grocer. Poured a large foamy head on a slightly cloudy, very light yellow body. Smell was weak of orange and honey, very faint. They came through much better in the taste, however. Reminded me of Leinie's Honey Weiss, only with more "wheatness". Very smooth, very easy to drink. A nice summer brew.

Raytheon Co. announced Monday it won a $559 million Missile Defense Agency contract for guided missiles.
Raytheon has agreed to deliver 44 missiles, called SM-3 Block IBs, but this could be increased to 52 missiles, a press release said. The impact of the missiles is comparable to that of a 10-ton truck traveling at 600 mph and is directed at incoming missiles.
“We’ve consistently demonstrated the SM-3 Block IB’s quality, and now combatant commanders are focused on building up their quantities,” Mitch Stevison, senior program director, said in the release. “This contract award reflects the confidence the Missile Defense Agency has in this missile’s regional ballistic missile defense protection.”
Portions of the missiles are built in Raytheon Missile Systems' Tucson plant, and assembled in Huntsville, Ala.
"It's very important to the Tucson area because this is where the brains of the missile, the guidance unit, the guidance section are built in our state of the art facilities," said Kenyon Hiser, program director for the SM-3 Block IA and IB program.
Hiser said the order is in line with what Raytheon Missile Systems is capable of producing at its Tucson facility, so no new hires are expected.
The SM-3 is designed to intercept incoming short-to-medium range missiles before they reach their target, and can be fired from launchers on either the ground or water.

During a recent meeting of the Interfaith Leaders Network in Nepal, I was in awe as I heard the stories of Pakistani Muslim peacemakers and learned about their work.
I have faced many sorts of conflict and been in countless dialogues with Muslims, but this was different. Pakistan was different.
My jaw dropped and my heart beat faster as I sat across from two men who had formerly been terrorists. This part of their background wasn’t in their bios.
Of course, I tried to play it cool as I listened to them, and I was doing some serious silent praying, “Lord what are you doing here? What do you want me to do?”
But as I listened to their stories, I took special note of their courage. These men continually risk their lives to reject violent extremism.
If that isn’t risky enough, they also speak out boldly against all forms of violent extremism, including protecting Christians who are often persecuted by Muslims in their country.
One of the many amazing leaders I met was Azi (pictured above), who is not a former terrorist. He works with madrassas in Pakistan to change the way young Muslim clerics are trained.
The madrassas are where many future terrorists are trained in Pakistan, their education usually consisting solely of an extremist interpretation of the Quran and nothing else.
I asked Azi two questions: “How do you get access to these madrassas?” and “How do you help them change their curriculum so it’s less extreme and more tolerant?”
I was enthralled by his answer: He invites leaders of the madrassas to a seminar.
On the first day of the seminar, he puts up a PowerPoint slide of an Islamic educational curriculum, which includes the usual study of the Quran and other Islamic topics. Yet it also includes science and other topics that seem typical of a modern university.
He then asks, “What do you think about this curriculum?”
Everyone answers, “This is a curriculum for a modern university.”
He then puts up another PowerPoint slide that shows that this was the curriculum of Al Azhar University in the 10th century.
Al Azhar, located in Cairo, Egypt, is the most prestigious center of Islamic training in the world for Sunni Islam. By now a slow buzz of astonished conversation starts filling the room. Azi has their attention.
Azi goes further still. He puts up a second curriculum that came from Islamic schools in Cordoba, Spain, also in the 10th century. The curriculum included courses on medicine, mathematics and astronomy.
Cordoba at that time was the most populous city in the world. Under the rule of Islamic caliphs, it became the intellectual center of Europe and was noted for its tolerance toward its Christian and Jewish minorities.
The result of Azi’s work is that when madrassa leaders see this, they respond by asking for help to expand their curriculum. This is a long-term, practical strategy to stop terrorism and promote peace.
So far, under Azi’s leadership, more than 2,700 madrassa leaders have been trained. Blessed are the Pakistani peacemakers like Azi.

A mild atmospheric river will pass through the North Bay today, bringing as much as 4 inches of rain and the possibility of flash floods in areas scarred by the recent wildfires, according to the National Weather Service.
“We have some models that are predicting as much as an inch per hour,” said Rick Canepa, a meteorologist for the weather service in Monterey.
A flash flood watch has been issued for all of the North Bay from 4 p.m. today until 3 a.m. Thursday. The weather service noted that hilly areas — such as Fountaingrove and Atlas Peak in Napa County — that were torched by the recent wildfires could be potentially susceptible to flooding and trigger mudslides with burned debris.
“It means that there are conditions that could potentially develop and lead to flash flooding,” Canepa said of the flood watch.
An area from Sea Ranch down toward Santa Rosa will bear the brunt of the rainfall.
The system also will bring high winds from 15 to 30 mph, though some areas at higher elevations could have gusts as much as 50 mph, he said.
“There is definitely some wind damage that could be associated with it,” Canepa said.
There will be periods of precipitation starting after midnight Tuesday with heavier rainfall predicted for today.
“There is brief window of time that is maybe three to four hours long,” Canepa for the biggest downpour.
The fast-moving system is expected to move through the area quickly and leave the region by Thursday. The weather service predicts only a 30 percent chance of showers by Thursday night.
“It may help things that it will move through a little bit faster,” Canepa said of the storm.

Another interactive learning system for dance is the one I used to facilitate my work of annotating and archiving the video material of the lessons I taught in video conferences. I mentioned this system in my Blog number 08.
Motion Notes, is the outcome of a European project named CulturaleMoves.
CultureMoves is a user-oriented project that aims to develop a series of digital tools that will enable new forms of touristic engagement and educational resources by leveraging the re-use of Europeana content. The project stands on 3 pillars: technology for content re-use adaptation and sharing, real-life use cases for tourism and education, intangible cultural heritage and more specifically dance.
The "MotionNotes" annotator is designed to support the creative and research processes of both professional and amateur users who normally work with a digital device for personal annotation. It will be useful for all areas of work involving the performance of the human body or movement behaviour in general.
"MotionNotes" is a real-time multimodal video annotator based on keyboard, touch and voice input. Its main differentiator is that it allows real-time video recording and note-taking directly over the running video.
Below are some images of the archived material, annotated with Motion Notes.
In addition to Motion Notes, there is an earlier annotation programme Motion Bank, which was created for the needs of the project "Inprovisation Techology" and illustrates on CD-ROM the teaching method of the choreographer W. Forsythe. I decided to use the tools of this software for my second project, "Invisible Wire", mentioned above, as this programme offers not only annotations but also the possibility to create an information grid that can be inserted into any web page.

Lucknow: AICC general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra asked party workers to work hard to defeat BJP in the upcoming assembly lections in Uttar Pradesh. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra joined the district-level training camp and interacted with the office-bearers of the party from Sambhal, Shravasti, Rampur, Kannauj, Prayagraj, Bhadohi, and Gorakhpur districts virtually.
‘Today, there is a government in Uttar Pradesh which is tearing apart democracy. The Congress must fight it and for that to happen, it is necessary to strengthen the organization’, she said.
‘The party cannot move ahead leaving its old guard behind. The one who stood for the party for the last 25-30 years has to have full respect, I want you to understand this clearly. There is an election in six months and your hard work is needed for it’, she added.
