Latino Advocacy Groups Blast Reelz for Picking Up Donald Trump's Miss USA: "Disgusting" Opportunism
Heads of the National Hispanic Media Coalition and National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts aren't happy about the pageant's new home, which NHFA co-founder Felix Sanchez called a "bottom-tier" outlet.
Thursday's news that the Miss USA pageant, presented by the Donald Trump co-owned Miss Universe Organization, had found a new broadcast home on Reelz Channel was met with disappointment from at least two prominent Hispanic groups.
National Hispanic Media Coalition president and CEO Alex Nogales slammed the network for picking up the pageant in light of Trump's controversial comments about Mexican immigrants — remarks that led the pageant's original broadcast homes of Univision and NBC to end their business relationships with Trump.
"It's kind of disgusting that these people should under the circumstances be opportunistic and commit to carrying the program," Nogales told The Hollywood Reporter of Reelz. "I'm disappointed that they, given … the racism involved, I'm disappointed that they would choose to pick up the pageant, and we will see what can be done about it."
Nogales said that his group hasn't yet decided on a course of action since the news was just announced Thursday morning. "We will have a conversation with our allies later today, and we will agree on a course of action," he added.
Meanwhile, National Hispanic Foundation for the Arts chairman and co-founder Felix Sanchez, a member of the National Hispanic Leadership Agenda, told THR that Reelz's relatively smaller audience makes this a different situation than if the pageant were airing on a broadcast network like NBC or Univision.
"It was inevitable that somebody would step up and want to air this pageant," Sanchez said. "But it's clear that it's going to be on a very marginal cable channel, where the likelihood of it garnering viewers is going to be quite minimal. Between airing there and a public [access] channel, it's very little difference."
He went on to call Reelz, which reaches 67 million homes through cable and pay TV providers, "not really even a third-tier but a very-bottom-tier opportunity for viewing."
"We're certainly not in favor of it," Sanchez said of Reelz airing the pageant. "But I don't think it will have much of an impact."
Both organizations had urged NBC to cut its ties with the Miss Universe Organization, which is a joint venture between Trump and NBCUniversal, before the network announced Tuesday that it was ending its business relationship with Trump.
Trump has been under fire lately for referring to Mexican immigrants as "rapists" and people bringing crime and drugs into the U.S., comments he made in his June 16 speech announcing his presidential candidacy.


- Fiat Chrysler has refreshed the Chrysler Pacifica minivan for the 2021 model year.
- Updates include SUV-inspired styling, an all-wheel-drive system and nearly 100 standard safety features.
- The vehicle is expected to arrive in U.S. dealerships in the fourth quarter. Pricing was not announced.
Fiat Chrysler has freshened the Chrysler Pacifica minivan with SUV-inspired styling, a new all-wheel-drive system and nearly 100 standard safety features.
The new features and updated styling were done to better compete against crossovers and SUVs, segments customers have been flocking to from passenger cars for their space, capability and safety – three areas Chrysler concentrated on for the 2021 Pacifica.
Pricing for the updated vehicle, which will arrive in U.S. dealerships in the fourth quarter, was not announced. The Pacifica currently starts between about $34,000 and $50,000. The updated vehicle was unveiled Thursday morning at the Chicago Auto Show.
Tim Kuniskis, head of Fiat Chrysler's passenger cars division in North America, said the company doesn't expect the updates to draw a substantial number of crossover and SUV buyers, but they should assist in maintaining the vehicle's customer base as well as the company's sales leadership in the segment.
"We're not looking at it to grow the segment, we're looking at it to maintain the leadership," he told CNBC last month during a media briefing for the vehicle. "But if you look at why nearly 3,000 people a day are switching from a passenger car to a (utility vehicle), why are they doing this? They're doing it for space, size and utility, but that's not enough. Because if that was enough, they'd buy a minivan. It's the capability that goes along with that."
The last time the company offered an all-wheel-drive minivan was 2004. The new system is an "active" all-wheel-drive system that engages when needed, making it so drivers do not have to physically turn it on.
The 97 standard safety features are 14 more than the current models and include blind spot monitoring, active emergency braking and adaptive cruise control. Other changes include a new infotainment system with a 10.1-inch touchscreen and an updated interior.
The company also is adding a new upscale "Pinnacle" trim that features "quilted Caramel Nappa leather seats" in all three rows, matching lumbar pillows in the second-row captain's chairs and a larger "integrated" storage console.
The 2021 Pacifica will continue to be powered by a V-6 engine with 287 horsepower and 262 pound feet of torque. A hybrid version with an all-electric range of more than 30 miles before the engine takes over also is available.
Chrysler is acknowledged for inventing the minivan segment as we know it today in 1983. After decades of growth and minivans accounting for about 8% of the U.S. light-duty vehicle market, sales in the mid-1990s to 2000, sales have nose-dived to less than 400,000 units in recent years.
Much of the segment's decline is attributed to the rise of crossovers and SUVs as well as a stigma of the vehicles being uncool and for "soccer moms," but Kuniskis maintains it's "good business" for the company.
"The segment went from 1 million to 400,000 units, but when it was 1 million units, you had 15 people competing in it. Now it's 400,000 units and we own half of it," he said. "That's good business for us."
Competitors in the minivan segment include the Toyota Sienna, Honda Odyssey and Kia Sedona.
Fiat Chrysler sold about 220,000 minivans in 2019, down 18.5% compared with 2018, but the company maintains its segment leadership with combined sales of the Pacifica as well as the Dodge Grand Caravan.

"It was all at once. Everything just came at me," she said. "You can’t help but feel despair at some point. It’s overwhelming."
"It was depressing at the time, but you can’t dwell on the past," said Olivia Newton-John about the failure of her clothing company in 1991. But her chain filing for bankruptcy was only the beginning of a series of tragic events that would take place in her life. It was the following year that would test her mettle through the heartbreaking experiences she saw in her personal life.
Newton-John was married to her co-star Matt Lattanzi when in 1991, she lost her 5-year-old goddaughter, Colette Chuda to cancer, according to People. Colette ws the daughter of the actress's close friend, Nancy Chuda and Newton-John deeply cared for the little girl.
"My hands shook and I couldn't stop crying," Newton-John revealed in her memoir Don't Stop Believin', according to a Woman's Day report published on MSN. "How could we live without our Colette? My heart took a long time to mend."
The year after that, the Australian-bred singer lost her father to liver cancer. Her father, Brinley was 78 at the time and had divorced Newton-John's mother when she was 11 years old. After seeing what cancer can do to her loved ones, Newton-John found out just two weeks after her father's death that she herself had cancer. As she was grieving her father's death, she was told by her doctors that she had cancer in her right breast at the age of 43.
"It was all at once. Everything just came at me," she told People. "You can’t help but feel despair at some point. It’s overwhelming."
At first, she was terrified of cancer treatment, having seen first-hand what chemotherapy can do to a person's body. "My fear was that I would die, because I had seen the horrors of [chemo] with Colette," she said. But she recalled her friend, Nancy telling her, "If you’re positive, everyone will be positive."
And so she relied on laughter and positivity to get her through her treatment. "She had a sense of humor even when they were putting the needle in her veins," her older sister Rona shared. "I was amazed at the inner strength Livvy had."
Newton-John, who is completely devoted to her daughter, Chloe, also decided after her diagnosis that she would keep her cancer a secret from her daughter who was still in school at the time. According to the MSN report, Chloe found out through a bully in school about her mother's life-threatening condition. Chloe said about the incident, "Some little brat ran up to me and said, 'Ha ha, your mum's got cancer and she's going to die.' It's like a screenshot in my head I'll never forget. I went home and said to my mum, 'Why didn't you tell me? I could've taken care of you!'"
Today, as she battles cancer for the third time in her life, the Grease star finds her daughter to be one of her greatest supporters.
The chain of heartbreaking events in Newton-John's life in the early 1990s also included the end of her 11-year-marriage to Matt Lattanzi. She remained fairly private about their divorce in 1993, which took place as she was going through treatment.
Two years after her diagnosis, which included a partial mastectomy and chemotherapy, Newton-John went into remission, according to the Daily Mail. But that wasn't the end of her battle against cancer.
In 2013, her sister Rona joined the group of close loved ones she lost to cancer almost on her mother's birthday. "My beautiful sister Rona sadly passed on May 24th in Los Angeles. It was May 25th in Australia - which was our mother Irene's birthday. Rona died of a very aggressive brain tumor and mercifully suffered no pain," Newton-John wrote on Facebook.
The year of 2013 was also the year cancer returned in her own body. Then, in 2017, she was diagnosed with cancer for the third time and it had progressed to stage 4, according to AARP. However, Newton-John still remains as happy and bubbly as ever. Despite all the hardships that she has been through in life, she lives every day with gratitude after seeing up close the effects of cancer in her own life and the lives of others. Her husband, John Easterling and her daughter, Chloe make the journey a lot easier for her.
The actress started the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Wellness & Research Centre where not only are patients provided with care and medical treatment, but also clinical trials are conducted to come up with breakthroughs in cancer therapies.
Talking about staying positive, Newton-John said, according to Belfast Telegraph, "I've had my moments, and my tears and all that, but I have a wonderful husband in John and a daughter in Chloe who support me through those things. There are moments, I'm human. If I allowed myself to go there, I could easily create that big fear. But my husband's always there, and he's there to support me. I believe I will win over it. That's my goal, to see cancer cured in my lifetime."

Architrave is my lightly-modified version of Knave 1e. Probably the main difference right now is the spell list — it’s the version from https://mhuthulan.mediumquality.uk/2022/11/12/a-manola-esque-cut-down-spell-list-for-knave/. Many thanks to Ben Milton for making Knave available under an open licence and with a ready-to-edit source version as well. I find the latter to be surprisingly rare.

Dematic, a leading global supplier of integrated automated technology, software and services to optimise the supply chain, has announced the opening of a new distribution centre (DC) by the Toll Group, a leading third-party logistics (3PL) company in Australia. The Toll Group needed a highly automated DC to meet increasing demands from its customers for efficient e-Commerce and omnichannel order fulfillment and looked to Dematic for the right solution.
The DC features several Dematic solutions integrated with best-in-class technologies. Dematic Multishuttles store, buffer and sequence 80,000 SKUs. Workers pick orders at 24 ergonomic Dematic goods-to-person workstations. Ten Dematic AGVs handle repetitive transportation tasks safely and automatically. In addition, the Toll Group worked closely with Dematic to define and implement support systems from other vendors to ensure complete integration.
As a 3PL, the Toll Group had some stringent requirements for automation. Robert Charles, General Manager of Speciality Retail at the Toll Group explains, “We look at the occupation, health and safety requirements. We look at order accuracy to prevent returns coming back to the facility.”
Charles continues, “we also look at the customer experience to make sure they get their product in an efficient manner. Because it’s all about the speed to market today.”
The new Toll Group DC is another great example of Dematic’s unique ability to deliver global solutions, but with a local touch. To view a video about this Dematic success story, visit dematic.com/toll.
Why nation-state attacks are everyone’s problem
With so much change all the time, how can executives best prepare their businesses to meet the security challenges of the coming years? CSO Australia, in conjunction with Mimecast, explored this question in an interactive Webinar that looks at how the threat landscape has evolved – and what we can expect in 2019 and beyond.
An interview with CSO's David Braue and Ian Yip, Chief Technology Officer, McAffee.
According to new research conducted by the Ponemon Institute, Australia and New Zealand have the highest levels of data breaches out of the nine countries investigated. This was linked to heavy investment in security detection and an under-investment in security and vulnerability response capabilities

Prisoner re-entry program held in Jersey City
A conference on opportunities for former inmates was held in Jersey City to share their stories of downfall and comeback. Among them was former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson.
The city runs a prisoner re-entry program to help ex-inmates from Jersey City get jobs and stay on the right path. Tyson, who served three years in prison on a rape conviction, spoke about his troubled youth and how his life of crime began.
"Because I was just so entrenched into the street world. I was just allured to that. That's what I wanted to be," said Tyson. "You saw instant gratification as far as respect was concerned in the street world. I didn't have much patience and that's what I wanted."
Jersey City officials say in just two years of the program, it has drastically cut the rate of repeat offenses by released inmates.?

The Tarzan's Treebird attraction, adventurously considered to be the worst hollow attraction at Disneyland
August 8, 2002
Avg. queue length:
Battle the irregular steps into Tarzan's Treebird, and learn how Tarzan made a home in the trees of Indiana. Here you will find a home thrown together from the debris of a sailing ship, an entertaining fun area hidden near the roots of the tree, and even baby Tarzan, chugging in his crib!
- If it's your birthday, Disney characters are apt to talk to people near you.
- Instead of riding this attraction, your kids will want to go on something more stimulating.
- The letters in "Tarzan's Treebird" can be scrambled to spell "N'rare Saebditrzt."
- Tarzan's Treebird was originally the Swiss Family Meal Treehouse.
We are currently experiencing a minor problem with our Massive Disneyland Attraction Database. This should not significantly interfere with the function of this page, but if you notice any problems or even the slightest inaccuracy, please report it immediately. Thank you for your patience.


Help Me Find a Keyboard Like the Wired Apple USB Aluminum
I really like what I'm seeing in the 12.04 beta. I also really like my old wired Apple USB aluminum keyboard. But, it's always been problematic in Linux. Can anyone point me in the direction of similar keyboards that get along well with Ubuntu?
I also see that some trackpads should work with this release. What should I be looking for there, as well?
Re: Help Me Find a Keyboard Like the Wired Apple USB Aluminum
I'll answer my own question, in case someone has the same question later. I bought a Logitech Illuminated Keyboard. While it doesn't have quite the feel of the keyboard on my Macbook or on the Apple Aluminum keyboards, it is very close. It should ease the problems I have had switching back and forth from the MacBook to the Ubuntu machine

Patience is beginning to wear thin among Senate Republicans for a prolonged government shutdown, with a growing number at risk of revolting if the fight over funding President Donald Trump’s border wall drags out indefinitely.
In interviews with a wide range of Senate Republicans, a number have grown anxious about the long-term impact of a partial shutdown that has shuttered a quarter of the federal government and impacted hundreds of thousands of federal employees and contractors, including many in their states who will soon miss their first paychecks. And some GOP senators are signaling a new willingness to allow a number of key federal agencies — such as the Treasury Department, the Transportation Department and the National Park Service — to reopen even if the fight over the border wall is not resolved, breaking with the White House and Senate GOP leaders.
“I think we can walk and chew gum,” GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska said on Tuesday, adding she’s “amenable to a process that would allow for those appropriations bills that have concluded some time ago that they be enacted into law — whether it’s the Department of Interior or the IRS. I’d like to see that.”
In a warning sign for the White House, a number of Senate Republicans offered tepid support for the hard-line stance taken by Trump, who is backed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. While many Republicans said they’d continue to support McConnell and Trump for now, it was clear that support won’t last indefinitely.
“There’s a time when that may run out,” Georgia Sen. Johnny Isakson said of support for McConnell’s refusal to back spending bills that lack Trump’s support. “But right now that doesn’t run out.”
House Democrats last week passed six full-year spending bills to reopen federal agencies impacted by the shutdown as well as a stopgap bill for the Department of Homeland Security, and they have put pressure on congressional Republicans and the administration to take up the measures despite an ongoing dispute between Democrats and the President over funding for a border wall. This week, they plan to pass individual spending bills to reopen several key agencies, including the Interior Department and Housing and Urban Development.
Trump, however, flatly opposes reopening other agencies without securing his demand for $5.7 billion in border wall funding — a position backed by House and Senate GOP leaders.
But West Virginia GOP Sen. Shelley Moore Capito, who chairs a key subcommittee overseeing homeland security funding, said she “can live” with a continuing resolution to reopen the Department of Homeland Security while other agencies also are reopened. Doing so would punt the funding fight over the wall until a later time.

A major new exhibition of photographs by Justin Partyka, which explore an agrarian way of life, opens at the Sainsbury Centre for Visual Arts, University of East Anglia (UEA), Norwich, on Tuesday 29 September and runs until Sunday 13 December. The East Anglians exhibition features a body of work by Justin Partyka which has resulted from a personal project by the artist, exploring rural life in his home region. The exhibition reveals one of the last vestiges of East Anglia’s deep-rooted agrarian community and provides opportunity to reflect on this in a global context.
“It is under the melancholy monochrome light of a still winter’s day that the agrarian landscape of East Anglia best reveals it timelessness. This is when I prefer to walk the small fields of the farms: crunching across unploughed stubble, or sidestepping my way through a crop of leeks or Brussels sprouts. As if I was entering a secret door, I push myself backwards through the boundary hedgerow of ash, willow, and hawthorn. Emerging out on the other side, I find myself standing on the remains of an old drove that at one time accessed an isolated farmstead now long since vanished. In the distance, wind breaks of poplar and oak stand like skeletal ghosts—their silhouettes serving as reminders of the past men and women who once laboured these soils” – Justin Partyka.
Justin Partyka began photographing in rural East Anglia in 2001. His project has taken him across the Norfolk, Suffolk and Cambridgeshire where he has discovered a largely forgotten rural world.
“My work tells the story of what I see as the last of East Anglia’s agrarian community. It is a place where traditional methods and knowledge are still very much depended upon, and the identity of the people is intimately shaped by the rural landscape upon which they live and work. Stoical small-time farmers, reed cutters and rabbit catchers: these are the East Anglians – the forgotten people of the flatlands who continue to work the land simply because the need to is in their blood” – Justin Partyka.
The East Anglians comprises 58 colour photographs. They feature people harvesting and working the land using traditional methods, farmhouses and farms where time appears to have stood still, and other skilled rural workers such as reed cutters and rabbit catchers. Other images such as those of farm sales, abandoned buildings and deteriorating machinery together tell a familiar story of rural decline.


Fewer cows mean a smaller September slaughter
18 November 2015
Adult cattle slaughter edged lower again in September, influenced by reduced cattle availability in the wake of two years of unprecedented cattle sell-off.
For September, adult slaughter was 7% lower year-on-year, at 740,717 head. The male contribution was 385,500 head, down 5% over the period, but more striking was the decline in the number of females processed during September – down 10% year-on-year, at 355,217 head.
This indicates the female population is strained from the extraordinary turn-off over the past two years, and figure 1 illustrates the fall in female slaughter of recent months through the red line.
The September slaughter figures resulted in beef production declining 6% from September last year, at 206,101 tonnes cwt. This makes three consecutive months of lower year-on-year beef production and is more than likely the beginning of a longer term trend.
For the year-to-September, Australian adult cattle slaughter was 6.95 million head, up marginally (1%) from last year, while beef production was up 2%, at 1.9 million tonnes cwt. Average adult carcase weights have been heavier than the same time the previous year for the duration (averaging 278kg/head, up 1%), boosting production levels.

TE Connectivity / Kilovac Brand
Foster H. Campbell started High Vacuum Electronics in 1962, changing that name to Kilovac in 1964. Kilovac products have been associated with high voltage switching and have been used in space exploration since those early days. Kilovac pioneered the development of vacuum and pressurized high voltage relays and contactors.
The advantage of Kilovac products include their small size and weight for their given power rating. They also have the ability to interrupt DC loads and with their low and stable contact resistance they have high resistance to shock, vibration and temperature extremes. Kilovac relays also have fast operating times and are usable in RF devices.
Kilovac offers relays and contactors known for their capabilities of high voltage switching. The Kilovac brand of products are regarded as the leading brand of products in the development of vacuum and pressurized high voltage relays and contactors.
KILOVAC relays have been used in space applications for more than 30 years, since its first mission in lunar landing equipment in the 1970s to today where they are used extensively in space satellites and are currently used throughout the International Space Station.
The company moved its headquarters to Carpinteria, California in 1968.

Controversial YouTuber Couple Now Under Fire For Once Cancelling An Adoption Due To 'No Social Media' Rule
A YouTuber and social media influencer who was already called out by the internet for putting down their dog earlier this month, is now receiving backlash for also canceling an adoption because of a rule against exploiting adopted children on social media.
A resurfaced video of vlogger Nikki Phillippi and her husband Dan talking about adopting a child from Thailand went viral in light of their other recent controversies. In the video they explain why they won't be doing a foreign adopt from Thailand.
The video is from 2018, but is being scrutinized again after the couple were called out for monetizing their dog's euthanasia.
AGED LIKE MILK: Nikki Phillippi and her husband Dan discuss giving up adopting a child from Thailand because they w… https://t.co/z40j34xsqx— Def Noodles (@Def Noodles)1620522063.0
The YouTubers were trying to adopt through an organization called Holt International, a Christian organization that assists in adoptions. They informed the couple of a law in Thailand that prohibits sharing photos and videos of the child on social media for one year to keep people from exploiting adopted Thai children for social media clout.
This made the couple change their mind, as they explained:
"When that hit we literally were like 'Oh what?' So we were like going round the houses like trying to figure out how this could work like 'Hashtag baby blur face'."
Holt International warned the couple the country takes rules like this very seriously, and violations could jeopardize the organization's relationship with the country.
Nikki worried if they did something wrong while skirting the law, she could ruin things for other families.
"I almost Snapchatted while I was signing an NDA once. I'm going to totally mess up, and then I'll ruin it for other families."
It apparently never occurred to the couple to simply comply with the law.
They claimed they didn't like the idea of a government being so involved in the process and the adoption not being finalized for a year—Thailand's method of ensuring couples adhere to adoption laws.
However, they also claimed later in their process they were going to look at fostering as a social media friendly alternative. The foster care process also requires an extensive amount of government involvement.
The couple later got pregnant and stopped looking at adoption or fostering.

The whole situation was scrutinized by people online.
The Phillippis are influencers with more than a million followers on YouTube. Since the backlash from their situation with putting down their dog, they've turned comments off on their videos and made their other social media profiles private.
Others online looked into the situation and found the Phillippis discussed looking at adopting from Thailand, Korea, Columbia, domestic adoption and fostering very publicly on their channel over the course of 15 months.
Many of the issues the couple raised in their videos, criticizing these processes, would have been discovered from a quick google and initial research on adoption or fostering.
Adoption takes a long time, with some taking several months to over a year. So it seemed strange they would make such public announcements before doing any research on the process.
Online commenters chalked it up to the couple being interested only in the profit potential.

The couple have gone dark online while these controversies rage on.
A Change.org petition to demonetize their YouTube videos has over 60,000 signatures at time of writing, though it's unlikely this would lead to action.

MADISON (WITI) -- Another budget battle, and this time, the argument is over a projected "structural deficit" in Wisconsin's next two-year budget. The two candidates for governor are arguing about what it really means for taxpayers.
Governor Scott Walker and Democratic challenger Mary Burke are engaged in a war of words over a lot of numbers.
"Scott Walker is a one-trick pony," Burke said.
"For the critics, it's selective amnesia," Governor Walker said.
A memo to lawmakers shows the state revenue fell $281 million short of what had been expected for the year. Legislative Fiscal Bureau Director Bob Lang wrote the reason: "The national economic forecast has been downgraded."
"Revenues are down, not because the economy isn't growing. They're down in large part because taxpayers are paying less in this state," Governor Walker said.
"I don't think Governor Walker has made fiscally responsible decisions and the lagging economy is the biggest drain on our fiscal health," Burke said.
The memo forecasts a "structural deficit" -- which is the gap between the money going out, and the money coming in. It's a projection for the next budget based on current spending and revenue. It is an estimate, saying the state's finances could be out of balance by $1.8 billion in the next two-year budget.
"Again this is based on no growth, no change in expenditures. Our record has been every year we've been in office, we finished the year with a surplus. Going forward, every year I'm in office we'll finish with a surplus," Governor Walker said.
"He balanced his first budget, but then -- like a career politician -- he put special interests first. He spent money that we don't have, and he made fiscally irresponsible decisions, including turning down hundreds of millions of dollars of Medicaid," Burke said.
When a $1 billion surplus was projected last year, Governor Walker cut taxes by more than $500 million.
Burke says she would hold the line on taxes and balance the budget with cuts.
"I balanced budgets my entire career, and it does take going through every single line item of the budget," Burke said.
"My belief is every time we have a surplus, I will give it back to the people who earned it -- the hard-working taxpayers of the state," Governor Walker said.
All of these numbers are estimates, and they can change based on the actual tax collections and real spending over the next several months.

"You are not moving. You are not metal!" cried Trivium's singer. You could almost feel sorry for them. Supporting Slayer - and appeasing Slayer's diehard fans - is notoriously difficult at the best of times. As for supporting these veterans when they decide to play their 1986 masterpiece Reign in Blood in its entirety - well, any group would be on a hiding to nothing. Still, Trivium's MySpace-generation thrash kept younger members of the audience entertained while the more jaded headbangers grumbled at the bar, and the barrage of dry ice and strobe lights went a long way to disguising any self-doubt that might have struck the band.
By contrast, Slayer's only concession to stagecraft was a gaudy computerised backdrop. If you've ever wondered what their scary, satanic skulls would look like viewed through the prism of Christmas bling, this was your chance. But this was never about the spectacle; it was about the songs. South of Heaven, Chemical Warfare, Necrophiliac - it was a set list most metal bands would kill for. ("We had joy, we had fun, we had Seasons ... in the Abyss!" teased frontman Tom Araya, before another oldie was blasted out.) Yet these were mere window-dressing for the main event.
From Angel of Death to the closing Raining Blood, the only clue that this ferocious half-hour album dated back more than 20 years was how effortlessly it was played. Even with something as visceral and immediate as thrash metal, it takes time to get this good, and Slayer were nothing short of superb. With squealing guitars shredded to within an inch of their lives, and blood once again "raining from a lacerated sky", the apocalyptic finale thundered to a close.
A shell-shocked crowd stood for a moment, then filed towards the exits. There was no encore. How could there be? What could possibly follow that?

Virgin Atlantic have now finished their £100million upgrade of their Upper Class Experience, with the launch of their final renovation of the clubhouses, the Newark Lounge. Pieced together by the same creatives, Slade Architecture, that made the JFK Clubhouse, which ranked Number 2 in our Top 10 Lounges 2012, this clubhouse is leaps and bounds from its previous offering at the terminal. A very design heavy look and feel dominates the lounge, making it perhaps look more cool than comfortable, with lots of straight lines and angles, but this is a place to be seen.
Led by Head of Virgin Atlantic Design, Luke Miles, “Newark has always been an important market to Virgin Atlantic – it’s where it all started with our first flight from London in 1984. The new Clubhouse has been designed to really reflect the spirit and heart of downtown New York and we are confident that it will continue to impress our passengers and give them an experience to remember each time they fly with us.”
We love the look of this lounge, and considering the limited flights from the airport, Virgin have invested heavily into the product, really making it a worthy destination in itself. Designer Luke Miles has really changed the direction of Virgin Atlantic’s new Upper Class product in a positive way. The lounge features a plethora of unique über-cool that recreate New York’s ‘Downtown’ feel. Areas in the lounge include a crystal featured Cocktail bar, The Passion Pit (a snooze-relax hybrid area), Origami lounge, Liquid lounge, Brasserie and even a Screening room, which features films from eight graduate film makers from the National Film and Television School. The local talent doesn’t stop there though, adorning the area is work by local artists, including Jorge Nelson, Garrett Pruter, Kate Hazell, Galia Rybitskaya, Mille Marotta and Jonny Moss. Furniture wise, you will come across Pearson Lloyd’s Turtle Chair, Moroso’s Take a Line chair and Saarinen marble tables.
Recently Virgin Atlantic announced it is trying to offer one-stop-flights as part of its future direction, starting with the New York (and other east coast US destinations) to India, via Heathrow. This now means that passengers will have a seamless design experience, with a Newark Clubhouse, Heathrow clubhouse and brand new Upper Class experience on the A330. There is now a perfect reason to fly New York to India with Virgin Atlantic, and here at TheDesignAir, we can’t wait to experience it.

How many pounds of french fries do I need to feed 100 people?
How do you keep chicken breast from drying out in the oven?
After you season the chicken breast, wrap each piece with parchment paper before placing it into the oven to bake. The parchment paper acts as the chicken’s skin and works to retain moisture and prevent the chicken from drying out.
Why is my chicken dry when I bake it?
So, the short answer to this reader’s question is that your chicken is dry because you’re overcooking it. The only way to make sure chicken breast stays moist is to walk a line of cooking it properly, which is unfortunately quite narrow. The issue primarily boils down food safety.
How do you make chicken soft and juicy?
Here, we’ve put together a few tips so you can enjoy tender and moist boneless chicken every time you cook it.
- Size matters. …
- Use a Marinade. …
- Give it a good soak in salt water. …
- Coat it in flour for flavour. …
- Use Parchment Paper. …
- Cook only at room temperature. …
- Baste it. …
- Let it rest.
Is it better to bake chicken at 350 or 400?
There are two options for baking chicken: Baking at 350°F: This is the traditional method whereby a 4-oz boneless, skinless chicken breast is roasted at 350°F (177˚C) for 20-30 minutes, according to the USDA. Baking at 400°F: Baking for less time at a higher temperature is a great way to get juicier chicken!
Do you cover baked chicken with aluminum foil?
Rub each chicken breast with olive oil, then place in a lightly greased 9×13 inch baking dish. … Cover dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes. Check chicken and remove cover if desired. Bake for another 15 minutes.
How do I cook chicken breast so it’s not rubbery?
Since lack of moisture can cause dry, rubbery chicken, the best way to prevent it is to give it some more by soaking it in heavily salted water before cooking. This process helps to break down some of the muscle fibers of the meat and tenderize them.
When baking chicken do you add water?
Add water during roasting to keep the pan drippings from burning. The water helps those rich drippings stay tasty for a flavorful sauce. By the time the chicken is done, the water will have boiled down, and the drippings will be ready for a delicious, easy pan sauce.
How long does it take to cook chicken breast at 350 degrees?
Bake a 4-oz. chicken breast at 350°F (177˚C) for 25 to 30 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature is 165˚F (74˚C).

The “Unborn Victims of Crime Act”, seeks to amend the Criminal Code to allow separate homicide charges to be laid in the death of a fetus when a pregnant woman is attacked. Currently a fetus is not considered a person under the law until it exits the birth canal alive. The bill tries to amend Part VIII of the Criminal Code, “Offences Against the Person and Reputation”; however, the fetus is not a legal person and cannot rightly fall under this section.
This bill takes the focus from the real issue which is violence against pregnant women and places focus on the victim's fetus. The bill does not protect women, only fetuses and similar laws in the U.S. have resulted in the pregnant woman being charged with a crime against her unborn child rather than addressing the issue of violence against women. A better approach would be to place harsher penalties on persons that attack pregnant women.
Since the focus of the bill is on the "murder" of fetuses and provides no protection for the mother, it is reasonable to suspect that the real intent of the bill is to give fetuses personhood and thereby criminalize abortion.
Bill C-484 was introduced in Parliament on December 13th, 2007 and is projected to be coming up for its second hour of debate on February 29th, 2008.

(Above: Ballito dancing stars Caitlynn Fomison, Aimee Barnard, Caraline Hill, Brigitte van Buddenbrock and Erin Wilkins)
When you sit with all of them together it’s easy to imagine what it must have been like travelling to the UK with a troupe of excited, giggling girls ready to take on the world. And their daughters seemed quite excitable too!
But in all seriousness, these five talented dancers – Aimee Barnard, Brigitte van Buddenbrock, Caitlynn Fomison, Caraline Hill and Erin Wilkins – made their families and country proud when they danced their way to victory, bringing home a number of trophies, medals and titles.
The girls are trained by Catherine Barry of Swish Studio in Ballito and, after taking part in the regional qualifiers, were selected to represent South Africa as part of the top six dancers in each age group and category from each region.
The world championships were held at the renowned Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford Upon Avon and the competition was tough with the girls going up against dancers from five other participating countries, namely England, Scotland, Ireland, Northern Ireland and Canada.
But this didn’t deter the young Ballito beauties, who held their own and walked away with a number of awards. Twelve-year-old Caraline wowed the judges and claimed first place in the U12 level 1 section, for which she now holds the world champion title. She also won the U12 duet section world champs title with 11-year-old Brigitte.
Aimee (12), Brigitte and Caitlynn (12) placed third, fourth and fifth in the U14 non-ranked section respectively. Although she did not place in England, Erin (13) also qualified to compete in the ranked section and she, along with the other girls placed fourth in the quad U14 section and second place in the U14 group section.
Unlike modern dance or ballet, modern lyrical dancing includes a combination of acrobatic-type moves like backbends and focusses on expressing strong emotions.
As soon as the girls found out they had made the team, they started working hard to raise money to get themselves and their moms there. But between selling pancakes and raffles, putting on shows and even hosting a dance-a-thon during the school holidays, they still weren’t able to raise quite enough.
When one of the girls still couldn’t afford to go five weeks before the competition, the other families rallied together to help pay in the difference and their dance instructor, Cathy, even forfeited her portion of the travel funds to make sure all five girls could go with their moms.
“It was so special and all of us formed a very close bond on this trip,” says Caraline’s mom Samantha.
The girls shone on the night of the finals at the beautiful Shakespeare Theatre and the wonderful night of laughter, cheer and tears ended with a gala dinner. Samantha says all the moms came together to celebrate each girl’s achievements, taking photos and videos of all of them. “Words cannot express how incredibly special it was for all of us to be there and share such an incredibly experience with our daughters.”

French Bulldogs are generally described as ‘philosopher’s caped clowns’ as their grim faces mask their very comical features. The popularity of French Bulldog puppies lies in their reputation as companion pets. With their uniform temperament, easygoing and gentle nature, this breed is a very pleasant company for the elderly and children.
Affectionately known as Frenchies, this breed is small, muscular with heavy bone structure and a heavy head. They have a soft coat and their small face is recorded with bat ears. French Bulldogs like to be addicted to television as much as they like to chase balls. Although they are active and alert, they are not good as security dogs. Here are some key facts related to these puppies.
French bulldog puppies: key considerations
Some of the main characteristics and concerns of French Bulldog puppies are:
Problems associated with a short face: This breed faces some health problems due to its short face. Therefore, you must ensure that:
- Keep this breed away from smoke, cleaning chemicals, allergenic pollen, and freshly cut grass to avoid respiratory problems.
- Veterinarians must be very careful with their treatment. Only modern anesthetics should be given, and your heart and blood pressure should be checked frequently.
- French Bulldogs should be kept in cool or air-conditioned environments. In hot, humid climates, they become vulnerable to heatstroke, as they cannot pant vigorously enough to stay cool.
- Dog collars should be avoided as they put pressure on your windpipe and make breathing difficult.
- The folds of your skin should be washed after meals.
General health problems.Poor breeding practices can lead to health problems for Bulldogs. There are chances of diseases of the joints, heart and eyes and disorders of the spinal cord.
ObstinacyThese Bulldog puppies can be very stubborn and manipulative, especially when they are being trained or exercised. You have to constantly show them that you are the boss. Food is a good motivator to encourage them to perform different tasks; however, if they don’t exercise properly, they end up getting fat and unhealthy.

Bonus Army Stamp
A collector in Hawaii has a postage-sized stamp with an illustration of a World War I “doughboy” solider and the words “PAY THE BONUS.”
Our contributor, whose grandfather was a World War I soldier, thinks the stamp is linked to the “Bonus Army” veterans.
A bill was passed in 1924 promising WWI veterans a payment 21 years later -- dubbed a “bonus” -- in 1945. When the Great Depression hit, veterans organized to demand early payment of the bonus. They organized a protest march on Washington in 1932, demanding pay for their combat, and approximately 20,000 veterans camped out in the Capitol following the march.
Weeks went by until Herbert Hoover ordered General Douglas McArthur to force the vets out. Two veterans were shot and killed, thousands were tear gassed.
What role did this political stamp play in the veterans’ movement?

NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Citing disappointingly weak sales over Easter, J.C. Penney Co. on Friday slashed its first-quarter profit forecast, providing further evidence that falling home prices and mounting economic uncertainties are putting a squeeze on consumers.
Shares of J.C. Penney JCP fell as much as 13% at the open before limping back to close at $37.48, a 6.3% decline.
J. C. Penney's revised outlook is a yet another blow to retailers, who started the year on shaky footing. Sales in the prime winter-holiday season were soft as consumers tightened their wallets in the face of higher gasoline prices, higher grocery-store bills, and in some cases, higher mortgage payments. Listen to retail consultant Howard Davidowitz's take on the news.
Earlier this week, the Conference Board said consumer confidence was at its lowest level since the Iraq War began in 2003, while the Case-Shiller home price index showed U.S. housing prices in 20 major cities declined for the 18th month in a row.
There was also more grim news Friday on the consumer front, with the Commerce Department reporting flat retail spending in February, the third consecutive month of weak demand from what had been the main engine of growth in the U.S. economy. See full story.
Before the opening bell, Plano, Texas-based J.C. Penney warned its first-quarter earnings will come in at about 50 cents a share, compared with its previous forecast of 75 to 80 cents a share.
Analysts surveyed by FactSet Research had been projecting that J.C. Penney would post first-quarter earnings of 75 cents a share.
"We believe management may be too optimistic in their outlook," wrote Citigroup analyst Deborah Weinswig.
She maintained a buy rating on J.C. Penney shares, noting possible benefits from the government's rebate checks that consumers are due to receive over the next few months.
Noting that sales through the Easter holiday were "well below expectations," J.C. Penney also forecast declines in same-store sales at a low-double-digit percentage rate for March and at a high-single-digit rate for the first quarter.
Its prior expectation was for low-single-digit declines for both periods.
"Consumer confidence is at a multiyear low," said Myron Ullman, the company's chairman and chief executive.
"J.C. Penney counts half of American families as its customers, and they are feeling macroeconomic pressures from many areas, including higher energy costs, deteriorating employment trends and significant issues in the housing and credit markets.
"The sharp decline in sales is reflective of these trends. While the economic stimulus package may provide some temporary benefit, we expect the continuation of a difficult environment over the course of 2008," he said.
In February the White House and Congress authorized $117 billion worth of tax rebates to consumers, hoping a quick infusion of cash will breathe some life into a stagnating economy. The first checks are to be sent out in May.
When it reported fourth-quarter financial results on Feb. 21, J.C. Penney forecast a profit for fiscal 2008 profit of $3.75 to $4 a share, which at the time was below Wall Street's consensus target of $4.60 a share. A full-year revision wasn't included in Friday's press release. See related story.

Aliases for APOBEC3B Gene
External Ids for APOBEC3B Gene
Previous GeneCards Identifiers for APOBEC3B Gene
This gene is a member of the cytidine deaminase gene family. It is one of seven related genes or pseudogenes found in a cluster, thought to result from gene duplication, on chromosome 22. Members of the cluster encode proteins that are structurally and functionally related to the C to U RNA-editing cytidine deaminase APOBEC1. It is thought that the proteins may be RNA editing enzymes and have roles in growth or cell cycle control. A hybrid gene results from the deletion of approximately 29.5 kb of sequence between this gene, APOBEC3B, and the adjacent gene APOBEC3A. The breakpoints of the deletion are within the two genes, so the deletion allele is predicted to have the promoter and coding region of APOBEC3A, but the 3' UTR of APOBEC3B. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
GeneCards Summary for APOBEC3B Gene
APOBEC3B (Apolipoprotein B MRNA Editing Enzyme, Catalytic Polypeptide-Like 3B) is a Protein Coding gene. GO annotations related to this gene include poly(A) RNA binding and deoxycytidine deaminase activity. An important paralog of this gene is AICDA.
UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for APOBEC3B Gene
DNA deaminase (cytidine deaminase) which acts as an inhibitor of retrovirus replication and retrotransposon mobility via deaminase-dependent and -independent mechanisms. After the penetration of retroviral nucleocapsids into target cells of infection and the initiation of reverse transcription, it can induce the conversion of cytosine to uracil in the minus-sense single-strand viral DNA, leading to G-to-A hypermutations in the subsequent plus-strand viral DNA. The resultant detrimental levels of mutations in the proviral genome, along with a deamination-independent mechanism that works prior to the proviral integration, together exert efficient antiretroviral effects in infected target cells. Selectively targets single-stranded DNA and does not deaminate double-stranded DNA or single-or double-stranded RNA. Exhibits antiviral activity against simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV) and human T-cell leukemia virus type 1 (HTLV-1) and may inhibit the mobility of LTR and non-LTR retrotransposons.
