Everyone thinks you’re a bitch.
Dear Girl, it was never my intention to make you look like the wicked witch of the west. It was never my intention to make your carry the force of this on you. I defended you but I guess I never truly told anyone why I was defending you.
I guess partially the reason was because I was in denial. The truth is when you broke up with me. It shattered me, it cut me so deep inside of my heart. It was the worst pain I have ever experienced. People say the first love is the worst, but this one was damn right brutal.
Originally though I let you go, I let you go hoping you would come back. But while letting you go, I guess that didn’t apply to me texting you. You wanted the space and I just couldn’t give it to you. Then you made up your mind that you couldn’t take it anymore. You tried to let me know that we were having problems from March on and I ignored it. I thought that they would just get better. We both have a part to play in this but I will admit my flaws. I was immature, I was selfish, I was stubborn, and I tried to be controlling. I look back on that guy and I can’t believe that was me.
Shit started in March, I let you go on June 15th and you broke up with me on June 21st. This started something that I’m not all that proud of. You told me you wanted to be friends, I guess that’s usually code for I want you to go away but not go away mad. I was pissed off at you and got my shit from you as quick as I could. You talked me down and made everything better that night.
I bought a book, how to get your ex back or learn to live without them. That book while it’s helpful as in a way to motivate you.. It also is somewhat a crock of bullshit… But I was determined that there was nothing that would stop me from being with you. So I decided to go into what they call no contact. You were still friends with me on Facebook but I wasn’t going to contact you. I hide everything on facebook about you. I stopped going on facebook so I didn’t have statuses.. So you couldn’t comment on them or know anything about me. I then heard one night that you were being all depressing on your facebook and I went and looked. I saw that you were depressed and I wanted nothing more than to run to you.
I showed up at your house one night at 5 am and I talked to you. Looking back it was a bit romantic but I could see why it could be considered creepy. I laid my heart out to you and you told me, that you didn’t need to be in a relationship with me or anybody right now. That day we met up again later and I talked some more with you.
Here’s where shit went wack, I began to notice that the only way to be in your life was to be your friend. I wasn’t happy with being your friend and I knew you still cared about me. Everything in my body told me that you did, I was so stubborn and stupid that I decided I was going to keep pushing and pushing and I was gonna get you back. Now I see that by doing that I pushed you away. Everytime we were together I kept pushing, yes I’d cause you to break down and tell me how you felt.. I didn’t realize I was hurting you in doing so.
I began to believe by me breaking through to you and hearing you tell me things like you did love me.. that I was getting closer to getting you back. I began to believe that without a shadow of a doubt, I would get you back. I told anyone who would listen about my situation.. I really needed someone to talk to and some of the people I choose to, weren’t a wise choice.
Then I found out a few things, that weren’t my business but I didn’t exactly go looking for them. I asked to talk to you, and you said later. I knew you were tired, and I knew why. I didn’t care, I showed up at your house and I did what I did. Not once but twice, because I was angry and I was stupid.
I never could leave well enough alone in all of these situations. You removed yourself from my life and yes we were both in the wrong but I did deserve it.
I began to move on with my life, even though I didn’t want to. Then I got in the accident, you were the first person I wanted to call right after I thought I was gonna die. You called me after you heard and I didn’t expect it. We were friendly and you showed that you did care about me. But stupid me, I fucked it up again, I flipped out on your ass and said things that I shouldn’t have. I apologized and then sealed that apology with a shot.
We ran into each other a few weeks later, we hadn’t talk and we were both drunk. We hit it off again and well I managed to screw it up again. Anyone see a repeating pattern here? You took me home when I was drunk, I never should of gotten into that car.. But at the same time I wanted to run my mouth and that I did for an hour in your car. Which in my drunken state I thought you overreacted. It couldn’t be that I’m an asshole sometimes.. that was sarcasm by the way people.
Why you’ve even spoken to me after this I don’t know. I know you have a good heart and you didn’t deserve all the bullshit that came your way. A lot of what I said was when I was hurt, in pain, and angry. The stuff I post on my tumblr, because being honest usually what I post on tumblr is when I’m depressed or angry. That’s usually the only time I write.. So everyone got to see my side of the story and you got to appear as a mega bitch that played games with me. Too be honest, you stuck to your guns, your story really didn’t change.. I lead myself on and told myself that every little thing meant something and then got mad at you for leading me on.
But it gets better, you showed up on the night of my birthday party. Many would say you knew because your bestfriend was invited. Some would say you didn’t, I try not to listen to what people say.. You know me, but what I will admit to.. I wanted you there. When we were good, and my party was somewhere else, I invited you. When shit went sour, I changed the venue and you just happened to show up. That night I made an ass out of myself again. Yet you still showed how good a person you were by wishing me happy birthday over and over and talking to me about my Grandpa.
I was wrong, and I’m not looking to make any excuses for my actions. I’m a man and I made all of the choices, who knows what may of happened if I would of just kept my mouth shut and not acted a fool. You were a great girlfriend and you did so much for me that no one will ever know. I can never say thank you enough for all that you did and actually didn’t do for me. You didn’t deserve to be called a bitch for moving on with your life. You didn’t deserve half of the bullshit that came out of this. Yes I also lied to you, but I wasn’t even ready to tell myself the truth at that point really. If I couldn’t tell myself, my closes friends, or family, then how was I supposed to tell you?
I’m sorry if this bothers you, if you ever read it.. It was time that I owned up to my part, since I felt the need to tell my version of your part. I’ve always been the person not to judge some, and know there are two sides to each relationship past or present. But I can’t help but feel that I warped what was us into what I wanted it to be. Yes you made your mistakes, so did I.. Neither of us were perfect but you didn’t deserve to be the bad guy. I entered into the relationship with you, and you were already somebodies bad guy. Everyone thought you were a cold calculating bitch in that situation. I didn’t believe it and I found out that it wasn’t true. Then I turned around and did the same damn thing. I don’t understand why the one who breaks it off has to be the bad guy. It shouldn’t work that way.
Ideally people should mind their own damn business. But in this town that doesn’t happen… especially when someone’s hurt and they need to vent to whomever will listen. Just because someone will listen doesn’t mean that they won’t tell everyone.
I wish that I wouldn’t have played a part in it. I feel like I’m one of the only select few who actually knows the real you… and in saying that I know how much each one of my actions hurt you. I did it because I knew it would. I guess we’re both guilty of it..
I think some people get involved in business that was strictly yours and mine and plays both fields. They tell us both things to try to instigate the situation. Do I honestly think you tried to play me with all the chances you gave me? Maybe you had some ulterior motives but I think you had all the best of intentions towards me. You may not be invested in me anymore but I think you still want the best for me.
At my worst girl, at my worst.. my intentions were still pure. I hope you know that, all I really ever wanted was to make you happy. I tried everything, you wanted friendship and I was determined for it to be more. You can’t force someone into loving you just because you love them. I just want you to be happy, I still believe that I could do that for you. But at the end of the day, no matter where you end up or what happens. I just want you to be happy, you deserve so much. You deserve for people to know the truth about you. Not a jilted truth of someone who was hurt.
You have a wonderful heart, and you tried to be a part of my life. I can’t fault you for that, perhaps I just wasn’t ready. Sometimes you don’t realize something until it’s just too late. I made a mess, but I’ve been trying to clean it up. I’ll keep trying, I caused a lot of unnecessary pain for the both of us… For that and everything I am truly sorry, I just wish you knew how much..

Jerome Powell, chairman of the US Federal Reserve, waited until Representative Carolyn Maloney, a Democrat from New York, asked him about the number of likely interest-rate increases during 2018 to take the opportunity to hint that four increases of 25 basis points each were likely because of a strengthening US economy, rather than the consensus estimate of three. That pushed the 10-year yield up by 5 basis points and erased about a third of Tuesday’s gain in the US stock market.

1. Review the use of Audio and MIDI Effects in Ableton Live:
- On a MIDI Track, put MIDI FX before Instruments and Audio FX after. Live will do this automatically when you drag an Effect onto a Track.
- You can’t use MIDI FX on Audio Tracks.
2. Experiment with these Effects on your own projects. We stuck to these particular Effects in class because they are available in all Live versions, but we also recommend checking out the other FX you find in your Browser!
- MIDI Scale Effect: Use this to force incoming MIDI notes into a certain key. If you know that your song is in C minor, place the C minor Scale Effect before your Instrument.
- Auto Filter Audio Effect: Use the Frequency knob to create a filter sweep.
3. Review the use of Automation, then use it in your own Projects. 😎
- Drawing in Automation: turn on Automation Mode and select the parameter to automate in the Device Choosers. You can open up a new Automation Lane for each parameter.
- Recording automation: If you have a controller, map a knob to the parameter in Live that you’d like to automate. If not, record it in using your mouse / trackpad.
- You may wish to loop a section of your song to practice before recording in, or loop + play a section while hot-swapping Effects.
Take a deep dive into one of the most common Audio Effects – Delay! Don’t worry if this is too complicated though, you’ll get along just fine using Effect Presets 🙂
If you’re not sure how to map your controller, follow these steps:

Taylor Swift is rooting for her football hero from afar.
However, she had to reschedule one of her Rio de Janeiro shows from Nov. 18 to Nov. 20 due to sweltering temperatures.
"I'm writing this from my dressing room in the stadium," Taylor said on her Instagram Stories on Saturday. "The decision has been made to postpone tonight's show due to the extreme temperatures in Rio. The safety and well-being of my fans, fellow performers, and crew has to and always will come first."
While the singer takes the stage on Nov. 20 amid cooler temperatures, Travis is facing off against his older brother Jason Kelce on the field at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
The occasion was set to be a special one, as Taylor had been planning to go with mom Andrea Swift and dad Scott Swift.
The game comes more than a week after Travis, 34, took a getaway plane to visit Taylor, 33, in Argentina, where she kicked off the international leg of her tour. The pair enjoyed a dinner with Taylor's dad on Nov. 10—when the "Lavender Haze" singer had to postpone her concert due to severe weather—before Travis joined Scott inside the VIP tent the next day to watch the show.
"Yeah, Mr. Swift, I apologize, big guy," the athlete said during the Nov. 15 episode of his and Jason's New Heights podcast, after his brother teased that he had "left Scott hanging."
Travis continued, "Oh man, I missed that. I never miss a high five, too. It's the most electric thing you can do at an event."
Perhaps he can finally return the high five at his next Chiefs game.
To see Taylor's NFL style from games past, keep reading.

MOST HOTEL COMPANIES large and small in the U.S. have begun following the American Hotel & Lodging Association’s Safe Stay initiative to provide heightened cleaning protocols that combat the spread of the coronavirus. Now AHLA is offering training on the new protocols.
The online training course, “COVID-19 Precautions for Hotels,” was developed by AHLA and its American Hotel & Lodging Educational Institute to train hotel staff. AHLA’s Safe Stay Advisory Council also helped design the course.
“As we welcome back the traveling public, we are proud that the hotel industry across North America can unite under one common set of safety, cleanliness and health guidelines with Safe Stay. This training course will help ensure that hotels are clean and safe places to stay and work,” said Chip Rogers, president and CEO of AHLA. “Hotels have always had rigorous cleaning protocols and standards, but we’re stepping up even more so that employees and guests can feel more confident about the entire hotel experience.”
The 15-minute course is available in English or Spanish. Employees who successfully complete the course and brief assessment receive a certificate. It can be hosted on an organization’s LMS or purchased individually.
AHLA’s Safe Stay initiative also has developed a ‘checklist’ for members to use to implement initiative’s guidelines, as well as Safe Stay signage and collateral for use on property to inform both employees and guests of the new safety and cleanliness protocols.
“As operators make plans to reopen their properties, they are aware that all of their staff will need training on how to operate safely during the pandemic,” said Sherman Brown, Executive Vice President, training and certification for the National Restaurant Association and AHLEI. “This online training highlights industry guidelines endorsed by all major hotel brands to show staff how to provide guests with the highest level of cleanliness and safety.”
Along with large companies like Marriott International, Hilton and InterContinental Hotels Group, smaller companies like Stonebridge Cos. of Denver, led by Navin Dimond, president and CEO, have joined the initiative.

Afghan President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani (C) arrives at the hall of the consultative Loya Jirga in Kabul, capital of Afghanistan, May 3, 2019. Afghan President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani once again called upon the Taliban group to give up fighting and join the peace process to end the war in Afghanistan as the consultative Loya Jirga or grand assembly of elders and chieftain concluded here on Friday. (Xinhua/Rahmat Alizadah)
KABUL, May 3 (Xinhua) -- Afghan President Mohammad Ashraf Ghani once again called upon the Taliban group to give up fighting and join the peace process to end the war in Afghanistan as the consultative Loya Jirga or grand assembly of elders and chieftain concluded here on Friday.
"I am calling upon the Taliban to get ready for talks inside Afghanistan and we are ready to facilitate the ground for talks inside the country," Ghani said in his concluding remarks.
The president also noted that his government is ready to hold talks with the Taliban representatives in the country including Kabul, Kandahar, Herat, Balkh or any other city where the militant group likes to talk.
The consultative peace Jirga opened on Monday and wrapped up Friday amid tight security, with participation of 3,50 delegates from across Afghanistan to discuss ways and means on how to negotiate with the Taliban outfit to find amicable solution to Afghanistan's protracted war.
However, in the five-day Jirga, neither the Taliban representatives nor politicians such as former President Hamid Karzai and the incumbent government's Chief Executive Abdullah Abdullah attended.
The Jirga concluded with the issuing of a 23-article resolution emphasizing protection of the country's constitution, the political system, and immediate ceasefire at least in the month of Ramadan.
"The resolution issued by Jirga is a Road Map for us to achieve peace in Afghanistan," the president said in his speech, stating all the Afghans eagerly want to see lasting peace in the country.
Ghani also said he would set free 175 Taliban prisoners as a gesture of goodwill towards peace, calling upon the Taliban to respect the demands of people, end the war and initiate intra-Afghan talks for achieving peace in Afghanistan.
Ghani had categorically stated in his address on the first day of the grand assembly that his government is ready to initiate talks with the Taliban without any precondition, but noted any talks should be Afghan-led and Afghan-owned.

A Thiol-reactive Phenazine Ethosulfate – A Novel Redox Mediator for Quasi-direct Electron-transfer-type Sensors [PDF]
Maya Fitriana, Kentaro Hiraka, Kazunori Ikebukuro, Koji Sode, and Wakako Tsugawa
(Received March 22, 2022; Accepted May 17, 2022)
Keywords: thiol-reactive phenazine ethosulfate, quasi-direct electron transfer, redox probe, enzyme modification, lactate oxidase, electrochemical enzyme sensor, biomedical engineering
A novel redox mediator, thiol-reactive phenazine ethosulfate (trPES), was used to modify an enzyme for the first time for biosensor development. Aerococcus viridans-lactate oxidase (LOx), widely used to study lactate biosensors, was modified with a single trPES molecule. A cysteine mutation was introduced into the vicinity of the LOx cofactor to enable the modification by trPES. LOx cysteine mutants were then successfully modified using trPES, thus acquiring quasi-direct electron transfer ability. An electrode immobilized with the trPES-LOx A96L/S210C mutant showed the highest amperometric response currents among the modified LOx cysteine mutants, indicating efficient electron transfer. The position around residues S210 to N212 on the LOx surface (distance <14 Å from FMN N5) is important for the mediator to access the reduced flavin. Then, the performances of the lactate sensor were improved by utilizing LOx A96L/S210C modified with trPES and arPES, another redox mediator used to modify a lysine residue. The lactate sensor has a detection range of up to 1 mM, a sensitivity of 6.62 µA/mM.cm2, and a limit of detection of 9.9 µM. Furthermore, Aspergillus flavus-derived FAD glucose dehydrogenase was successfully modified with trPES and the response currents were obtained, showing the versatility of trPES for modifying other oxidoreductases.Corresponding author: Wakako Tsugawa

The deeper an operator goes into a public cloud, the harder it may be to get out of it.
The telecom industry revealed its hopes and fears about change and the cloud at the TM Forum's first bash in Denmark, and there was even a naked Dane.
As Copenhagen gets ready to host the TM Forum's big bash, the telecom industry is in need of a reality check.
In the absence of plug-and-play capability, operators may either need to spend money on 'reaggregators' or even stick with single-vendor solutions.
Apple fanboys who hoped for mobile broadband in the outback will be sorely disappointed, but it probably won't stop them buying the 14 Pro.

As we noted with our recent Quote of the Day, firearms prohibition can result in perverse economic incentives. Which is apparently what kept a 500-pound Bronx gang-banger named Wobbles in bidness. “Ten gang members were charged with smuggling assault weapons from Westchester, Connecticut, and Maine and reselling them in the city, said NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton and state Attorney General Eric Schneiderman. The biggest bad boy busted was the group’s hefty ringleader William (Wobbles) Soler, a 33-year-old who allegedly sold 93 weapons — including .22-caliber pistols and semi-automatic rifles — to an undercover officer last year.” . . .
We’re not sure if we want to know exactly where Wobbles concealed the weapons he was spiriting into New York City.
New York AG Eric Schneiderman wasted no time in issuing a statement for the media.
“This is the way that criminals get guns that they use to murder police officers and murder other New Yorkers,” Schneiderman said at a news conference at his Manhattan office. “People who do this for a living we will pursue as aggressively as we can.”
In fact most of the ten doods apprehended after selling guns to an undercover officer were Bloods members.
So we’re guessing the importers the undercover cop was watching had rap sheets longer than Mayor DeBlasio’s list of grievances agains the NYPD. The question is then, why did the coppers allow Wobbles and his buds to bring in 93 guns? Wouldn’t, say, four or five illegal weapons have been sufficient to make an arrest stick?
Those 93 guns came from somewhere. By letting the sting go on so long, Wobbles’ “supply chain” was acquiring (read: stealing) a lot more guns from lawful gun owners than was necessary. So by letting the situation go on so long, the NYPD was, in effect, abetting crimes being committed in other jurisdictions when they could have stopped them by taking these guys off the street. But what the hell. It makes for some great press for Schneiderman and and New York’s Finest.

The Public Health Agency has urged women not to ignore their cervical screening tests – as new figures show it can ‘literally save your life.’
The PHA made the plea as January 22 marked the launch of Cervical Cancer Prevention week.
Dr Tracy Owen, Consultant in Public Health Medicine at the PHA, said: “Data from 2010-2014 show that, on average, 96 women are diagnosed with cervical cancer and 23 women die from the disease each year in Northern Ireland.
“It is therefore important for women to accept their invitation for a screening test – it could literally save your life.
“Screening aims to prevent cancer from occurring in the first place, by checking for pre-cancerous changes in the cells that line the cervix. Any early changes can then be successfully treated.”
In Northern Ireland cervical screening is offered to women aged 25-49 every three years, and 50-64 year olds every five years.
Doctors are growing increasingly concened, however, that women may be put off attending their test due to fear of both the exam itself, and fear of the results.
To combat this, the PHA has produced a video in a bid to show women how ‘simple the process is’ in a bid to reassure them.
Dr Owen explained: “The test only takes a few minutes and is usually carried out by a nurse.
“This is one of the few cancers that is preventable. It is estimated that in a well-screened population, seven out of ten cervical cancers can be prevented.
“I would strongly encourage all women, particularly those who have just been invited for screening for the first time, to see it as a positive step in looking after your health.”
As well as cervical screening, there is also a vaccine available that helps protect girls against cervical cancer.
“In Northern Ireland all girls in year 9 are offered the human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine in school. This vaccine protects against HPV types 16 and 18, which are known to cause 70% of cervical cancers. We would recommend all girls receive the vaccine when it is offered to them. Girls who have had the vaccine are still advised to attend for cervical screening when they are invited to do so,” concluded Dr Owen.
However, like other cancer screening programmes, there is no guarantee that you will still not develop cancer.
A cancer could develop between screening tests, or there is a small chance that the test misses an abnormality.
Women of any age who are concerned about symptoms such as abnormal bleeding, or pain or discomfort in the lower pelvis, should seek advice from their GP, even if they attend regularly for screening.
The cervical screening video covers the whole process of screening – from receiving the invitation letter to getting the results. It is aimed at women who have been invited for the first time and those who have never had a screening test. It can be viewed at www.pha.site/cervicalvideo

With the exponential growth of the Internet, a central WHOIS database that provides host and network information of systems connected to the Internet, and electronic mail (email) addresses of the users of those systems has proven to be very inefficient. The sheer size and effort needed to maintain a centralized database necessitates an an alternate, decentralized approach to storing and retrieving this information.
RWhois (Referral Whois) is a Directory Services protocol which extends and enhances the Whois concept in a hierarchical and scalable fashion. It focuses on the distribution of "network objects"--the data representing Internet resources or people--and uses the inherently hierarchical nature of these network objects (domain names, Internet Protocol (IP) networks, email addresses) to more accurately discover the requested information.
RWhois synthesizes concepts from other, established Internet protocols to create a more useful way to find resources across the Internet. The RWhois protocol and architecture derive a great deal of structure from the Domain Name System (DNS) [RFC 1034] and borrow directory service concepts from other directory service efforts, primarily [X.500]. The protocol is also influenced by earlier established Internet protocols, such as the Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) [RFC 821] for response codes.
RWhois was originally proposed in RFC 1714 in November 1994 and later updated (to version 1.5) in RFC 2167 in June 1997.
Other material (e.g., older versions of the software) can be found by accessing the main download directory itself.

An amended contract involving BWL’s annual payments to the city falls flat; deficit reduction plan and parking lot sale approved
Correction: Councilwoman Jody Washington's proposed amendment to the BWL contract was voted on and failed by a 4-3 vote. Council President Brian Jeffries did not offer a formal amendment.
Monday, June 25 — Three Lansing City Council members expressed opposition tonight to the Bernero administration’s agreement with the Lansing Board of Water & Light on annual payments, but the timing of the opposition prevented any changes to it.
By a 5-2 vote, the Council approved a five-year Return on Equity payment plan with the public utility as proposed by the administration and approved by the BWL Board of Commissioners. The agreement is for annual payments to the city BWL pays instead of property taxes. Council President Brian Jeffries and 1st Ward Councilwoman Jody Washington opposed. At-Large Councilwoman Kathie Dunbar was absent.
But Jeffries, Washington and 3rd Ward Councilwoman A’Lynne Robinson voiced concerns about the length of the agreement and whether the Council would be able to negotiate a higher rate of return. The new agreement stipulates 5 percent “return on equity” payments in lieu of taxes for the next five years. The current agreement, which expires Sunday, is 4 percent. The Council's budget adopted in May included a 5.5 percent payment, but was vetoed by Bernero.
Some Council members have advocated a higher rate to help the city’s budget. Others, and the administration, have said a higher rate could mean higher utility rates.
Washington proposed entering into the 5 percent contract for one year and negotiating with BWL in the interim on a potentially higher rate. However, City Attorney Brig Smith said that the change would need approval from BWL’s Board of Commissioners, and there could be a timing issue in getting it approved by both voting bodies by Sunday.
The board approved the 5 percent payments in May, just before the Council passed the next fiscal year’s budget. Apparently, two to three days after that commissioners’ meeting, Council members received a letter that said, “Go pound sand, take it or leave it,” Jeffries said, referring to the 5 percent agreement.
Jeffries followed with his own suggestions that would have increased the payments by .25 percent each year over five years until it reached 6 percent, a rate he’s supported for months because it’s on par with similarly sized public utilities. He also suggested that be tie-barred in future city budgets with the millage rate being lowered at the same time, making it revenue neutral. Jeffries added, with annual city deficits, that the burden should be shifted away from Lansing taxpayers to BWL ratepayers, some of whom live outside the city.
“We have to be adamant about this, particularly in light of budget deficits,” Jeffries said. “Anything less than that is taxpayers of the city of Lansing subsidizing lower rates of all rate payers in the service district, which include people outside the city of Lansing.”
So, the amendment and suggestions were out there, and it’s possible they could have been worked out before June 30, when the current contract expires. That would have meant the Council and the Board of Commissioners hold special meetings to approve the Council’s ideas.
Bernero’s chief of staff, Randy Hannan, said the “risks are enormous” by approving an amended contract, given the unlikelihood of the two voting bodies meeting by July 1. Without a contract after June 30, “we’re talking about a $17 million risk,” Hannan said, referring to the payments the BWL wouldn’t be obligated to make.
Following Hannan’s comments, Washington’s amendment failed 4-3, with Robinson, Tina Houghton and Jessica Yorko opposing. The overall contract then passed 5-2, with Jeffries and Washington opposing.
In other budget business, the Council unanimously approved selling Lot #2 to Lansing Community College for $1.2 million, which will help patch a $1.8 million budget deficit for the current fiscal year that ends June 30. Before that, the Council passed a deficit elimination plan, which included the Lot #2 sale and using $600,000 in reserves, which the administration hopes to replenish with the sale of property to potential casino developers.

While nobody is exempt from criticism, some of the expectations placed on athletes and other celebrities are just downright unreasonable. Sure, they’re supposed to be role models but why place them on such a high pedestal if you’re just going to tear them down?
It seems to be the American way to put bandaids on a deep wound instead of actually getting to the root of the issue. Americans spent a whopping $44 billion on over the counter medication last year according to The New York Times. That much money could be put towards teaching people how to live a healthy lifestyle rather than simply covering up symptoms. Having a cold around the winter is normal, but having a cold several times a year? That is a big issue and your immune system clearly isn’t in the best shape. Masking the problem with multiple doctor’s appointments and prescriptions is not the answer, getting to the root of the issue is.

According to a recent press release from the National Science Foundation, large wind farms in certain areas in of this country appear to affect local land surface temperatures.
The news is based on a paper published today in the journal Nature Climate Change. Liming Zhou, an atmospheric scientist at the State University of New York (SUNY) Albany, oversaw the study.
“This study indicates that land surface temperatures have warmed in the vicinity of large wind farms in west-central Texas, especially at night,” says Anjuli Bamzai, program director in the National Science Foundation’s (NSF) Division of Atmospheric and Geospace Sciences, which funded the wind farm research. “The observations and analyses are for a relatively short period, but raise important issues that deserve attention as we move toward an era of rapid growth in wind farms in our quest for alternate energy sources.”
Notably, as American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) CEO Denise Bode states: “This study says nothing about wind energy and global climate, and casts no doubt on all the other studies that find wind power is one of the best ways to address climate change. The study merely examined the effect of local air mixing at the site of a wind farm, which has nothing to do with climate because no heat or heat-trapping gases are being added to the atmosphere.”
Nonetheless, there are things to be learned and more research to be done about the micro-climate impacts of wind turbines. Previously, a study from Iowa State University actually found that wind turbines benefit crops, because of the effects they have on air circulation.
“We need to better understand the system with observations, and better describe and model the complex processes involved, to predict how wind farms may affect future weather and climate,” said Zhou.
To understand the potential impact of wind farms on local weather and climate, Zhou’s team analyzed satellite-derived land surface temperatures from regions around large wind farms in Texas for the period 2003-2011. The researchers found a nighttime warming effect over wind farms of up to 0.72 degrees Celsius per decade over the nine-year-period in which data were collected.
A co-author of the paper, Somnath Baidya Roy of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, contends the warming effect is most likely caused by the turbulence in turbine wakes acting like fans to pull down warmer near-surface air from higher altitudes at night.
“The estimated warming trends only apply to the study region and to the study period, and thus should not be interpolated into other regions, globally or over longer periods,” Zhou said. “For a given wind farm, once there are no new wind turbines added, the warming effect may reach a stable level.”

"I had the privilege this week of reading Magic Christian’s new book, The Top Change – The Monarch of Card Sleights. This manuscript is a scholarly work on an extraordinary card move. He covers dozens of variations and techniques, and this book is destined to become the definitive work on this subject. I highly recommend the book and can say after reading it; I am a better magician." - Allan Ackerman
"Magic Christian’s knowledge of the Top Change is incredible. He left no stone unturned, and I particularly appreciated the amount of history he shared about the move. This is a masterclass on the Top Change." - Ryan Schlutz
"An incredible resource on a move that too many of us magicians could do and understand better. This book helps greatly with that in a very entertaining way." - Jon Armstrong
"I love the top change, and now almost everything I've ever wanted to know about it is contained within this book. Thanks, Christian, for a fantastic resource!" - Chad Long
"In order to advance in magic, we have to be broad and we have to be deep. Broad, in the sense of innovating, looking back in our history and going further in the future, deep, in the sense of looking at a specific topic, and then explore it, looking at it from all sides, discovering its beauty and complexity.
In this book Magic Christian does just that. In a way only few of us can, he takes one of the five big operational concepts of card magic, the Top Change, and creates a monograph that broadens our horizons and encourages us to study other topics in a similar way. For this we must thank the author. You can do this by buying this book, which has my highest recommendation." - Roberto Giobbi
"Christian shares rare insights from Hofzinzer and other past masters and provides a wealth of historical perspective. He offers his own detailed technical analysis of the sleight and a surprising number of variations and effects using them. Magic Christian's new book on the Top Change is a graduate course on one of card magic's most direct and powerful techniques and a guide that could make anyone a better magician." - Michael Weber

The actors of drama Was It Love? delivered messages of encouragement ahead of the first episode on July 8.
Was It Love? depicts a “four-to-one romance” between Noh Ae Jung, who has been living as a single mother for the past 14 years, and four men with different charms.
The production team said, “As a gift of flower path is presented in front of Jo Ae Jung, we hope that the drama will be a present to those who have given up on dreams and love.” Actors Song Ji Hyo, Son Ho Jun, Song Jong Ho, Koo Ja Sung, and Kim Min Joon also delivered their messages,
Song Ji Hyo: These days, we are all tired of reality due to unexpected circumstances, and living our lives as we halt something precious. And to those people, I recommend Was It Love? that is full of love and dreams. With “positive power” Ae Jung, I hope you will find yourself who have either been forgotten or ignored and remind yourself of the sunny spring days.
Son Ho Jun: At any moment, love exists, and if you look around, you may find it close by. That is the key message of Was It Love?. Even if you have given up, a gift-like love, just like Noh Ae Jung, might visit you. I think living a life expecting such a day can give you heart-fluttering moments.
Song Jong Ho: I think that one’s happiness depends on dreams and love rather than the way the society sees and the surroundings. I hope you don’t give up on hope and live a life of loving someone wholeheartedly.
Koo Ja Sung: You can never give up on your dreams and love. The more you do, the more you should watch Was It Love?. The romance that suddenly visits Noh Ae Jung, who believe there is no such thing as love, and the series of events she faces as she moves forward to fulfill her dream of becoming a movie producer will act a wake-up call to remind the “hotness” in your hearts that you have forgotten.
Kim Min Joon: Dreams and love are not something that you give up on. Until the day you close your eyes, you have to keep them in your hearts. Such dreams and love that have been sitting in your hearts will one day come true. Just like how Ah Jung gets one step closer to her dream of “movies.” In this sense, Was It Love? is a drama that makes us realize how beautiful the times of dreaming and loving are.

Hillary Clinton's hunt for Electoral College votes takes her to Nebraska on Monday, a seemingly odd place to kick off her first full week as the Democratic presidential nominee.
The GOP nominee won the popular vote in the deep-red state of Nebraska in 2012 and 2008, but the Clinton campaign thinks it has a shot of swiping a single Electoral College vote just as Obama did in 2008. The Clinton campaign's stop in Omaha suggests it is not taking the recent polling bump she received after the convention for granted.
Nebraska and Maine award electoral votes via a congressional district method, meaning the winner of each district earns an Electoral College vote and the winner of the popular vote statewide gets the two electoral votes allocated to the U.S. senators' seats. In 2008, President Obama lost Nebraska by 15 percentage points and more than 100,000 votes, but took the Omaha area and added a Electoral College vote to his column.
Nebraska's second congressional district, which encompasses the Omaha area, is held by Democratic congressman Brad Ashford. And the Clinton campaign thinks it has a fighting chance.
"I think it's a reach but Nebraska's second congressional district, that's another place that President Obama won in 2008 and I think we have a shot at winning it now," said Robby Mook, Clinton's campaign manager, during a breakfast in Philadelphia last week. "It's an economically prosperous area that is changing demographically in ways that are favorable to us."
Several Republicans have recognized the Democrats' efforts and pushed legislation to return Nebraska to the winner-take-all format it employed 25 years ago. The legislation came up short earlier this year, as it has 15 previous times.
To date, the Electoral College has split its vote in Nebraska only once — in 2008 when Obama earned a single electoral vote. But dissatisfaction with Donald Trump in the Cornhusker State may have led the Clinton team to make a play for Nebraska. Republican Sen. Ben Sasse is one of the leading proponents of the conservatives' Never Trump movement and his screeds against the GOP nominee may provide ammunition for the Clinton campaign to reach Nebraskan voters.
Clinton's message in Nebraska on Monday is focused on the economy, particularly on "building an economy that works for everyone, not just those at the top," according to the campaign.
If Clinton and Trump are running neck-and-neck come November, the time the Clinton team spends on eastern Nebraska in July could pay off.

Exploring cultural identity and provoking discussions around Indigenous practices in Western settlements are the driving forces behind the mixed exhibition opening at Gloucester Gallery.
Tamowrth artist, Jenna-Rose Orcher's Dots From My Heart exhibition of traditional Aboriginal artworks will run alongside Sydney filmmaker, Ryan Andrew Lee's moving image installation Wonnarua.
It's the first time both of these young creatives have exhibited in Gloucester Gallery with their works on display from Thursday June 17 until Sunday July 11.
Jenna-Rose Orcher is a Gamilaraay woman whose artwork reflects her exploration of identity and place within her culture.
Inspired by the natural environment and the political injustices of Indigenous people, Jenna uses earth tones in contrast with bright colours to explore her storytelling.
Every stroke within her paintings confirms the strength of Indigenous culture's past, present, and future.
Jenna-Rose believes her pieces are extremely important for white Australians to see as they are insights into the original storytelling and connections being shared from the world's oldest living culture.
"As this always was and always will be Aboriginal land."
During the exhibition, Ryan's short film will be on display.
Using his cinematography background and experimental documentary filmmaking techniques, Ryan aims to provoke discussion around themes of Indigenous ways of living within the Western culture.
Wonnarua is a contemplative moving image installation that juxtaposes footage of five Aboriginal people from the Wonnarua Nation with drone shots of the Muswellbrook coal mine, situated in the heart of the Wonnarua Nation.
Ryan's works are always created with the intent to educate, raise awareness of and offer up alternate perspectives on cultural, environmental and sometimes political issues, believing that we must investigate the past to understand the present.
He's driven by personal experience and experiences shared by family, friends and the wider community.
Dots From My Heart and Wonnarua open at Gloucester Gallery, 25 Denison Street on Thursday June 17 and will remain on display until Sunday July 11.
The gallery is open from Thursday to Saturday from 10am until 4pm and Sunday from 10am until 1pm. E
Entry is free.
The exhibition in the gallery during NAIDOC Week 2021, which runs from July 4 - 11. This year's theme is Heal Country.

Gbese, British High C’ssion partner to clean Mensah Guinea beach
The Gbese Traditional Council (GTC) in collaboration with the British High Commission has organised a cleanup exercise at the shoreline of Mensah Guinea, a community located behind the Art Centre in Accra.
The exercise which was supported by the Aqua Africa, Trashy Bags and Zoomlion was aimed at keeping the coastline clean.
Protected with hand gloves and nose masks, the exercise saw the staff of the high commission and partners as well as residents of the Ga community removing plastics and other waste materials from the beach.
They also used tools such as rakes, waste collection bags, and wheelbarrows to facilitate the cleaning exercise.
Speaking to the media, the Development Director for the United Kingdom Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office, MsBeth Cadman, said the beach clean-up exercise was part of activities to celebrate the coronation of King Charles III on Saturday, May 6.
She said the exercise also aimed at giving back to the community, adding that it was a partnership with the Ga community to try and make the area a better space for everyone.
She mentioned that there was a commitment between her outfit and the paramountcy to reduce the impact of plastics on the communities.
The AgbogbloshieMantse, Nii Armah Okpah II, who spoke on behalf of the GbeseMantse said the plastics and other waste materials scattered along the beach were washed into the sea whenever it rains.
“But the GbeseMantse, NiiAyi-Bonte II, has collaborated with the British High Commission to start a clean-up exercise within the Ga communities to make Accra the cleanest city,” he said.
Nii Okpah II said the land had been taken over by squatters who have contributed to the filth along the beachadding that the traditional council together with the government and Zoomlionwould ensure they keep the beach and their environment clean.
He mentioned that the Waste Management Department of the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) would be engaged in the next exercise to ensure the residents keep their surroundings clean adding that “those who refuse to abide by the sanitation laws will be penalised.”

Chemistry, Dissolved Organic Matter, Freshwater, Nitrogen, Nutrients, Phosphorus
Physical, chemical and biological processes directly influence the transport, composition, and fluxes of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in river watersheds. Changes in the abundance and composition of DOM and nutrients (P&N) in the watershed should reflect changes in hydrological cycle, effluent discharge, land-use and land-cover, and anthropogenic activities in the river basin, especially in rivers that run through metropolitan areas such as the Milwaukee River. Despite the importance of DOM to ecosystem health and function, a literature search to date finds no comprehensive accounting of DOM in the Milwaukee River. To examine DOM dynamics, monthly water samples were collected between February 2014 and April 2015 for the measurements of hydrographic parameters, bulk dissolved organic carbon (DOC), chromophoric-DOM and fluorescent-DOM to determine temporal variations in source and composition of DOM in the lower Milwaukee River and fluxes of DOM to Lake Michigan, as well as influence of human activities in the river basin.
Concentrations of DOC varied from 336 µM-C during the winter under ice cover to 1,146 µM-C during the snowmelt in early spring, with an average of 726±224 µM-C. DOC abundance in the Milwaukee River was found to be relatively high in comparison to other world rivers. Absorption coefficients at 254 nm (a254) averaged 71±31 m-1, and show a significant correlation with DOC (R2=0.8370). Non-chromophoric DOC represented approximately 33% of the bulk DOC in the river, and majority of DOC (67%) was optically active. Specific ultra violet absorbance at 254 nm (SUVA254) and spectral slope (S275-295) were inversely correlated with an average of 3.6±0.7 L mg-C-1 m-1 and 0.0170±0.0034 nm-1 respectively. SUVA254 and S275-295 were mostly controlled by hydrological, biological and degradation processes. Applications of parallel factor (PARAFAC) modeling on EEMs data identified three major fluorescent DOM components (C1, C2 and C3) in the river waters, including two terrestrial humic-like components (C1 and C2) and one protein-like component (C3).
In addition to DOM, variations in abundance, chemical speciation, and export fluxes of nutrients (P&N) from the lower Milwaukee River, as well as the influence of hydrology and anthropogenic activities, also have been studied. Nutrient species including nitrate (NO3-), dissolved organic nitrogen (DON), dissolved inorganic phosphorus (DIP) or phosphate, dissolved organic phosphorus (DOP), particulate inorganic phosphorus (PIP) and particulate organic phosphorus (POP) were measured. Overall, NO3- was the predominant dissolved N species and DON contributed up to ~30% of the total dissolved N transported in the river. Concentrations of NO3- ranged from 62 μM-N during the warmer season in spring and summer to 259 μM-N in the colder months in winter with an average of 125±60 μM-N, suggesting that NO3- was predominately controlled by biological uptake and hydrology. Average NO3- concentration during 2014-2015 was among the highest in comparison with major world rivers, reflecting the anthropogenic impact on nutrient abundances in the Milwaukee River potentially through agricultural activities. Similar to DOC seasonal variations, DON varied from 2 μM-N under ice in winter to 254 μM-N during the spring snowmelt with an average of 54±50 μM-N. Within the total dissolved phosphorus (TDP) pool, almost 50% were organic phosphorus (DOP) and the other 50% were inorganic (DIP), indicating a potential role for DOP in nutrient cycling. Phosphorus exported from the Milwaukee River to Lake Michigan coastal zone was predominately in the dissolved form (DIP+DOP represented 62% of total P). DIP exhibited large seasonal variability ranging from 0.114 μM-P in January 2015 under the ice to as high as 2.75 μM-P during April 2015 storm event, with an average of 0.970 ± 0.791 μM-P. DOP varied from 0.080 μM-P when discharge was high to 4.687 μM-P during the summer when discharge is low and primary productivity is intense, with an average of 1.120±0.990 μM-P. PIP and POP abundances were mainly controlled by hydrology. They were low under ice and very high during the April 2015 storm event and uniquely much lower than those of other world rivers. PIP varied from 0.045 to 2.229 μM-P with an average of 0.473±0.483 μM-P and POP varied from 0.224 to 3.791 μM-P with an average of 0.809±0.648 μM-P. The average N/P ratios in inorganic and organic nutrient pools are 151±84 and 80±67 respectively, indicating a N- enriched but P-depleted ecosystem in the lower Milwaukee River. Using the interpolation method of regression, the annual export fluxes of DIP, DOP, PIP, POP, NO3-, DON and DOC were 63, 14, 47, 64, 1325, 200 and 6710 (103 kg-P, N or C) respectively and the yields were 28, 6, 21, 28, 581, 88 and 2943 (kg-P, N or C) km-2 respectively.
