Officials ID man killed in western Nebraska crash
LYMAN, Neb. (AP) — Law enforcement officials in western Nebraska have identified a Lyman man killed in a rollover crash.
The Scotts Bluff County Sheriff’s Office says 32-year-old Russell Surratt died from injuries received in the Thursday afternoon crash.
Officials say Surratt’s family members reported that he was suffering from mental health problems and had fired several gunshots outside of a residence Thursday before leaving in his pickup truck.
Witnesses say Surratt’s truck was speeding on a rural road when it swerved to avoid a crash with a mail carrier. Investigators believe the truck left the road and rolled several times.
Officials were able to pull Surratt from the truck and perform CPR, but he later died at a Scottsbluff hospital.

MILWAUKEE — On Thursday, when the sentencing hearing for child abusers Michael and Angeline Rogers opens in the Calumet County courthouse in Chilton, Wis., four small, disembodied voices will sound in the courtroom of Judge Steven Weinke, assuming the judge agrees to listen.
They will be voices Judge Weinke has never heard before.
They will be the voices of Mr. and Mrs. Rogers' children.
The children won't be present; because Mr. and Mrs. Rogers worked out plea agreements at the last minute, the children were spared from having to go through a trial. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers have each pleaded guilty to four felony counts of child abuse; in exchange for the guilty pleas, Calumet County District Atty. Ken Kratz dropped six other counts against each parent. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers each face potential prison sentences of up to 40 years.
They will have experts, retained by their attorneys, to make the case that what they did to their children does not warrant severe punishment. An expert retained by Michael Rogers' attorney (and paid for by the taxpayers of Wisconsin) has already told Judge Weinke that Michael Rogers should serve no prison time at all. Mr. and Mrs. Rogers also will be given the opportunity to address the judge themselves, to try to persuade him to go easy on them.
They were arrested last Nov. 17 and accused of repeatedly locking their 7-year-old daughter overnight in a small dog cage in a cold, dark basement; of depriving her and their other children of food; of beating the girl's brothers with clubs and a metal pipe when the boys tried to sneak food to their sister in the cage. Michael Rogers also was accused of putting the little girl in a small, closed plastic container and shoving it beneath a low shelf so she could not get out--of trapping her in that container, covered in her own excrement.
They would not have been caught were it not for the courage of the girl's 11-year-old brother, who loved her so much that--thrown out of the house barefoot and coatless--he walked alone and crying in the dark to the Brillion, Wis., police station on that freezing November night and begged an officer to come help his sister. Brillion police officers went to the house and--although Mrs. Rogers told them there was no child in any cage-- searched the unlighted basement and found the girl in the dog cage. They saved her.
Time has passed; the torture that was evidenced that night last November has been reduced to the routine of numerous court appearances. Judge Weinke has seen Michael and Angeline Rogers many times; he knows their faces, has heard their voices. When he sentences them this week, he will be sentencing people who have become familiar to him over the months this has been in the court system.
Judge Weinke has never seen the children Michael and Angeline Rogers abused.
He will get the chance this week. On the night Brillion police rescued the girl from the dog cage, the children were 11, 9, 7, 6 and 1 1/2. Before Mr. and Mrs. Rogers worked out their plea agreements, the four oldest children were being prepared to testify at a jury trial.
The jury trial never took place. But last May, District Atty. Kratz asked the four oldest children to talk about what was done to them by their parents. The children's accounts were videotaped.
This week, as Mr. and Mrs. Rogers make their cases for leniency before Judge Weinke, the judge will also be able to hear another side of the story--the children's side. In the courtroom, Kratz will play the videotapes of the children. The judge, at last, can see their faces, hear their voices.
"The purpose is to give the judge a feel for what happened to (the children) in their own words," Kratz said. "Because the judge has never had the opportunity to see any of the children, who are the victims here, this will give him the chance, before passing sentence, to see what the victims look like, to hear how they sound--to get some idea of their version of the events that brought us here."
Much more is at stake here than the punishment of Michael and Angeline Rogers. They have already stated that they wish to be given the children back--a possibility that could be strongly affected by what happens at the sentencing hearing. In Wednesday's column, on the eve of the hearing, we will explain.

One Direction fans furious over Niall Horan Facebook charity hoax
Fake Facebook page racked up hundreds of thousands of 'likes'
One Direction were duped by an Internet troll this Christmas, who posed as Niall Horan in order to clock up fans on a Facebook page.
The person posed as Niall Horan on Facebook, claiming to be the Mullingar star. He wrote a message asking for 100,000 likes, saying he would give “$100,000 to the children’s hospital” in return.
The page quickly received over 100,000 “likes” from One Direction fans around the world.
But One Direction's management confirmed soon after that the message was not from the 19-year-old Mullingar native.
A band spokesperson said: “Yes, I’m afraid this is not Niall unfortunately. We will have Facebook shut this down."
Many Facebook users detected it was a false page.
One wrote: “Niall Horan doesn’t have a Facebook page, it’s not him. It’s some sicko using kids as an excuse to get ‘likes’. And because they don’t have guts they need a celebrity identity — aka Niall Horan. Don’t pay attention to it!!!!”
The blonde pop star returned to his native Mullingar for Christmas this year, after appearing on the US X- Factor.
He spent December 25 with his family tweeting: “Oi bobby horan [Niall's Dad]put on the dinner I am ready to go! Never been so ready for dinner in me life [SIC].”

Honey is often referred to as “God’s medicine” and has tons of health benefits—and it’s great for your hair. “Honey has actually be used in wound care in some cultures and studies for its ability to naturally resist bacteria,” says Dr. Elizabeth Trattner A.P. DOM, doctor of Chinese and Integrative Medicine. The best part? It never expires! In fact, it’s not unusual for archaeologists to find thousand-year-old honeypots in ancient Egyptian tombs—these archaeologists found 3,000-year-old honey and it’s perfectly edible. So what’s the deal? According to Smithsonian, its sugar, low moisture levels, excessive acidity, natural gluconic acid, and natural hydrogen peroxide are the keys to its longevity. You’ll want to keep a closer eye in most of your other foods, especially meats to make sure they won’t make you sick. Here’s how to tell if your chicken has gone bad.

Is there anything apple cider vinegar can’t do? Besides having an incredible amount of health benefits, like helping with weight loss, and being a natural stomachache remedy, it can also stay in your pantry forever. But it doesn’t stop there. According to Eat By Date, white vinegar, balsamic vinegar, raspberry vinegar, rice wine vinegar, and red wine vinegar also don’t have expiration dates. “Because of its acid nature, vinegar is self-preserving and does not need refrigeration,” according to The Vinegar Institute. Because of this, you can also use vinegar to help keep other foods from spoiling.

Impact of Adduct Determination on the Assessment of Cancer Susceptibility
The characterization of genetic determinants for cancer susceptibility is important for understanding disease pathogenesis and for preventive measures. There is growing evidence that a group of predisposing polymorphic genes exists, such as those involved in carcinogen metabolism and repair, which may increase cancer in certain environmentally exposed subjects, even those exposed only to low levels of carcinogens. In developing preventive strategies, it is therefore necessary to identify these vulnerable members in our society, particularly those suffering from an unfortunate combination of high carcinogen exposure, cancer-predisposing genes and lack of protective (dietary) factors. Thus, molecular epidemiology faces the difficult task of analyzing carcinogen-exposed individuals for a combination of genotypes associated with cancer susceptibility. Once identified, combinations of cancer-predisposing genes can then be used as intermediate risk markers rather than taking cancer as an endpoint. In case-control studies, simultaneous measurements were carried out in each subject to determine exposure/early effect markers, e.g. polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)-DNA adducts, and susceptibility markers, e.g. genetic polymorphism, in drug-metabolizing enzymes related to cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1) and glutathione S-transferase (GSTM1) genes. The genotype dependence of human lung (+)-antibenzo[a]pyrene diol-epoxide (BPDE)-DNA adducts in lung cancer patients was examined. BPDE-DNA adduct levels in bronchial tissue of smokers with high pulmonary CYP1A1 inducibility (by immunohistochemistry) and GSTM1 inactive were ~100-fold higher than in subjects with an active GSTM1 at similar smoking dose. Further genetic analyses confirmed that the combination of CYP1A1 homozygous mutants and GSTM1 inactive leads to high levels of BPDE-DNA adducts in human lung of smokers and white blood cells of PAH-exposed coke oven workers. Thus, BPDE-DNA adduct levels resulting from the “at risk” genotype combinations may serve as markers to identify high-risk subjects among smokers and individuals occupationally and/or environmentally exposed to PAH.

There’s the best-selling preventing recreation in Dragon Ball FighterZ to a satisfying-yet-nostalgic return to anime and manga with Dragon Ball Tremendous. Maybe the most important shock is the reimagining of as soon as collection punchline Broly into an empathetic hero with the smash success of 2019’s function movie Dragon Ball Tremendous: Broly.
The horizon is nothing however blue skies and magic balls if Friday’s 2021 Comedian-Con @ Dwelling Dragon Ball Particular panel is any indication, which revealed new art work and character designs for the upcoming and newly named film Dragon Ball Tremendous: Tremendous Hero.
Earlier than any information or tidbits have been revealed, the panel kicked off with these all too acquainted guitar chords and the voice of legendary musician Hironobu Kageyama belting out a rendition of Cha-La Head-Cha-La in all its glory. Queue all of the nostalgia tingling of ready for a brand new episode of Dragon Ball Z to start.
Hosted by panel MC Sascha, the panel launched Japanese voice actress and voice of Goku Masako Nozawa, Shueisha and Dragon Ball Tremendous (manga) government editor Akio Iyoku, and Toei Animation producer Norihiro Hayashida, whose work contains Dragon Ball Tremendous: Broly and the now Dragon Ball Tremendous: Tremendous Hero.
“There’s two ‘supers’ in there, which is nice!” Iyoku remarked upon the reveal of the brand new movie title. “We actually needed to emphasise that this film is all concerning the superhero vibes. Toriyama is actually specializing in the facets of the superhero this time.” The brand new title reveal got here with a brand new, never-before-seen teaser of Dragon Ball Tremendous: Tremendous Hero. The quick animation featured collection star Goku warming up on a three-dimensional franchise emblem, earlier than the brand new movie title zoomed into view. Whereas the clip isn’t from the movie itself, it does showcase the artwork and animation course that the staff goes for within the upcoming launch.
The title and animation preview weren’t the one reveals to be discovered on the panel. With two of the company in Iyoku and Hayashida dressed as Goku and on a digital stage backdrop exhibiting the Kame Home islands, the group jumped straight into speaking about Dragon Ball Tremendous: Tremendous Hero, and its deliberate launch date of 2022. Akira Toriyama is as soon as once more closely concerned within the creation and manufacturing of the movie, a lot in the way in which that he was with 2019’s Broly movie.
“Toriyama has written the unique story, script, and in addition the character designs” affirmed Sascha. “He’s deeply concerned within the story construction, after all, the character design, and each element of the dialog.” Toriyama’s personal phrases have been then learn on-stage by Iyoku, because the creator addressed the panel and digital viewers in a written notice that comes alongside together with his private avatar doodle that can be acquainted to followers of the manga.
An all new film since Dragon Ball Tremendous: Broly is within the making! Similar to the earlier film, I’m closely main the story and dialog manufacturing for an additional superb movie. I actually shouldn’t discuss an excessive amount of concerning the plot but, however be ready for some excessive and entertaining bouts, which can function an surprising character. We’ll be charting via some unexplored territory, by way of the visible aesthetics to present the viewers an incredible journey, so I hope everyone will look ahead to the brand new film!
Toriyama’s dedication to the franchise and its renewal was an enormous throughline for the panel, particularly regarding the creator’s direct involvement with the movies and new manga collection (which remains to be ongoing.) Examine that to Toriyama on the peak of the recognition of Dragon Ball, who as soon as admitted in an interview that he didn’t oversee any of the creation of the unique Broly movie, The Legendary Tremendous Saiyan.
“He’s been an enormous a part of the earlier motion pictures, akin to Battle of Gods, Resurrection F, and naturally Broly,” says government editor Iyoku. “However I can confidently say that he’s invested on this newest film probably the most!”
The panel additionally revealed official art work from Tremendous Hero, together with character fashions of Piccolo, however together with his iconic cape and with out.
Whereas the designs are basic of their look, Iyoku and Hayashida joked with the panel MC a couple of “drastic change” in Piccolo’s designs, which features a change of shading on the Namekian’s telltale shoulders. Usually pink within the tv collection, he now sports activities a yellow shade alongside his upper-arms, together with a brand new shade of pink on his sash, the place it was blue within the unique collection.
“It’s the identical shade as within the manga, which is why I didn’t discover!” mentioned Sascha, pointing this out as yet one more clue in the direction of Akira Toriyama’s eye for element.
The following new design was of a barely older Pan, the daughter of Gohan and Videl. Within the Dragon Ball Tremendous collection and former movie Pan was nonetheless very a lot a toddler, however now sports activities a Kindergarten uniform. This alludes to the concept that the brand new movie jumps forward in time a variety of years. Iyoku referred to Pan as “an integral a part of the brand new film.”
The brand new design reveals continued, with Krillin in an up to date police uniform, showcasing a brilliant yellow and purple design that may be very a lot totally different from the basic uniform he wore in Dragon Ball Tremendous. The panel additionally confirmed how Krillin has undergone a delicate design change, now that includes black pupils over white sclera, a change from the skin-tone look of his eyes in previous variations.
The host moved issues alongside to start discussing the worldbuilding and artwork design of Earth within the new movie, particularly asking Hayashida to extol the staff’s design philosophy. “We paid a whole lot of consideration to element this time,” he mentioned towards new artwork ideas of Piccolo’s home, sitting atop a mountain on the foot of a lake and plush greenery. The artwork panel offered by Toriyama was one of many first-ever seems at the place precisely Piccolo lives. His home is just like the Namekian home designs discovered through the Namek and Frieza sagas from Dragon Ball Z, that includes giant, bulbous home windows and a white exterior.
Upon realizing that Piccolo’s home encompasses a mailbox, Nozawa remarked that “a few of my coworkers would say, “Piccolo doesn’t ship mail, so he doesn’t want a mailbox!” a remark that had the panelists cracking up. “We speak about issues like that in recording,” she mentioned. The panel teased that we’ll see what the within of Piccolo’s home seems like within the movie, lastly bringing the fantasies of anime nerds in every single place to life.
The Piccolo artwork reveal acquired the panelists speaking concerning the intrigue of Dragon Ball and anime normally. “There are various totally different worlds we are able to go to in anime that we usually can’t in our personal world,” Nozawa mentioned, “and I feel that’s one of many biggest issues about it.” The dialogue hit on the various locales and worlds of Dragon Ball; whether or not it’s lush jungles, arid mountain tops, or actually the reaches of house, the collection has by no means restricted itself in the way in which that a few of its contemporaries have previously. Sitting on a stage made to appear to be the enduring Kame Home, Sascha mentioned he simply needed to open the door and bounce in, a lot to the approval of all the panel.
On a extra severe notice concerning the manufacturing of the brand new movie, Toryiama discovered himself grilled a bit over his dedication to the brand new movie, with Iyoku saying “As we make extra motion pictures, Toriyama-sensei’s involvement will get deeper.

There are many options for local small business phone systems, offering a wide range of features and benefits for a wide variety of Local business needs. A majority of the latest in modern technology for local business telephone systems use VoIP communications networks to connect the companies staff with customer, vendors and the world.
However, how do you get the correct small business phone system for your organization? As well as determining the best way to install the phone system?
A modern day workforce is ever-changing; so , our local business communications solutions must also change with it. Local Business phone systems are not an exception to this rule. When using a traditional local business phone systems, you need to buy a great deal of expensive hardware for your local offices. However, with the increase of remote workers the demands for flexibility, and productivity enhancements that old PBX’s (on-premise Private Branch Exchange), unfortunately, cannot provide.
VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol) Local business phone systems have revolutionized the industry, with huge cost savings, increased productivity and features that provide more than just voice phone calls. This is due to the fact that there is communications that happens in many other varying ways, such as social media sites, emails, instant and media messages, text messages, and video conferencing.
By using a local cloud-based phone system, with unified communication as a service (UCaaS) features, your company in able to communicate through various means to make it easier for the customer and employees .
A local phone service with Cloud VOIP Phone Service has made it possible for businesses large and small to compete with any one, anywhere at anytime. Local calling features and collaboration tools like Customer Relationship Management (CRM) app integration, auto attendants receptionists, and Artificial Intelligence permit your small local enterprise to overcome many challenges when working with a lean team. VOIP technology also helps you to cut down on the costs of service.
Local Business phone providers also offer several of these collaboration features in one unified platform at an affordable price, providing features once only variable to enterprises that have larger budgets, you now are able to unlock all the features you need without al the costs that come along with the high-tier phone plans.
There are several things to consider when you are choosing a local business phone system provider in Minnesota. Do they have all the features and functions that your local business needs and wants.
A few crucial questions to ask:
- Are all the features that your local business would benefit from or need available? Does it have the capacity of supporting the number of staff who will need to use the service? And can it easily grow?
While Some Minnesota local businesses are only looking for local phone system calling features such as voicemail and Caller ID; but, other local companies may be interested in functions such as on-hold music, ring groups, and auto attendants.
Do you need Audio and Video conferencing, or any other communication tools that may be of value to your local Minnesota business:
A local phone system will be of no use to your business if it is not up and running when you need it, we only work with reliable local phone service providers with a local cloud-hosted solution. The majority of phone service providers have reimbursement policies if the system has not hit a certain uptime percentage.
If you discover that cloud-hosted systems are not suitable for your local small business, you will need an on-premises systems service provider. Unlike a PBX which is hosted in the cloud, your local business will be housing all the equipment when you are dealing with an on-premises system. These systems have more upfront costs, and you have ongoing local phone lines and maintenance costs unlike the cloud-based systems.
If you have a local business, you may want to consider whether you really need a phone system with onsite desk phones. It is now possible for local companies to get by with mobile phones and the mobile app, where you can connect to a virtual phone system. These systems will connect the main local business number to all your employee’s devices, including their mobile phones. When your customers call the main business number, they will be greeted by an automated attendant who is capable of transferring them to the relevant employees and departments. The call will then be transferred to the appropriate employee’s mobile phone instead of using the traditional office phone.
Virtual systems are usually well suited for Local smaller enterprises, or businesses that have significant and remote workforces.
Lastly, what form of customer support is needed? If your local business does have a full-time IT manager or staff who is able to handle emerging challenges, you want to have a business phone system provider who is constantly available to answer the questions that you have.

Aramark's Healthy Bites Program Expands Students' Food Horizons
Food sampling at school encourages healthy eating habits at home
|By PR Newswire
|August 28, 2014 03:37 PM EDT
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 28, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Each year, students return to school and settle in to their daily schedules for classes, extracurricular activities and socializing with friends. But this fall, Aramark, a food and nutrition partner with over 500 school districts throughout the U.S., is hoping to shake up the usual K-12 dining routine with its Healthy Bites sampling program.
According to Student ViewPOINT™, Aramark's proprietary consumer research program, 55% of students are interested in making healthy choices sometimes, while almost a third of students say they have tried fruits and vegetables at school that they haven't had before.
"We are excited that students are paying attention to their health, and even more encouraged that they are already trying new foods when dining with us at school," said Linda Sceurman, R.D.N.and Director of Nutrition and Menu Development for Aramark's Education business. "We believe that the Healthy Bites program will help to increase the number of students expanding their food palates by educating and empowering them to make healthy choices each and every day."
The Healthy Bites program, which reaches about 2 million students at over 2,000 elementary and secondary schools nationwide, encourages students to test unfamiliar foods via free samples of items that will then be available on the school menu.
At Houston Independent School District (HISD), the sixth largest school district in the country with 210,000 students, sampling programs have been successful in helping to engage students in wellness.
"Our chefs have been offering samples of different foods to students at all grade levels, from whole grain muffins and wraps to vegetarian chili and lasagna, to introduce them to healthier alternatives," said Ray Danilowicz, Aramark's general manager at HISD. "In addition to having fun, the students are surprised that these new foods actually taste great, and are asking their parents if they can serve them at home, too."
Showcased foods are selected in conjunction with monthly wellness messages around topics such as MyPlate and food variety. Examples of menu items that may be sampled throughout the year include chicken, pasta and vegetables with rosa sauce, a roasted vegetable wrap, fish soft tacos and a Baja fajita chicken salad.
Over the past several years, well in advance of the changes in national nutrition guidelines, Aramark's team of dietitians and chefs have been developing recipes that eliminate added trans-fat, reduce added fats, sugar and salt, and feature low and non-fat dairy options; lean protein choices; a wide variety of fruits and vegetables; assorted whole grain products; and 100 percent fruit juice with no sugar added.
In addition to menu changes, the company has worked closely with its manufacturers to reduce added sugar and sodium in the food items available to students. Many popular name brand snacks -- including pretzels, granola and cereal bars, cookies and graham crackers -- have been reformulated to feature more whole grains, less fat, salt and sugar and more fiber.
"Along with tasting great, these new items have been developed to be nutritionally superior to alternatives that are purchased at stores and packed from home," Sceurman added.
Aramark is committed to improving childhood nutrition and creating healthier school environments through nutritious meal offerings and wellness education. The company's nutrition and wellness education program, Healthy for Life™, features an online parental resource portal, a nutrition mascot, health fairs and school events.

Danish Ministry of Culture: Danes should be regulated by Google
In 2012, ACTA was rejected by the European Parliament with an overwhelming majority, not least due to its proposals to allow private law enforcement by foreign internet companies. Despite this, on 8 May 2015, the Danish Ministry of Culture presented a “Code of Conduct” agreement with a number of internet intermediaries, which in many respects is similar to the objective to “promote cooperative efforts within the business community to effectively address trademark and copyright or related rights infringement” in Article 27(3) of the ACTA Treaty.
The participants of the agreement, officially called “Code of Conduct to promote lawful behaviour on the Internet”, are the Ministry of Culture, the Rights Alliance and other rightsholders, Internet Service Providers (ISPs), payment processors (Diners, MasterCard and Nets), advertising companies, web hosting companies, domain registrars, Google and Microsoft.
The new agreement builds on an earlier more limited code-of-conduct agreement from October 2014 between the Rights Alliance and the Danish ISPs. Under that agreement, when a Danish court order one ISP to block a specific website, the other ISPs in the Danish Telecom Industry Association will voluntarily block that website within seven working days (even if, due to the size or technologies used, this might not be necessary or proportionate and might not have been approved by a court). Moreover, if a blocked website appears on a new domain with the same content, the ISPs will, upon request from rightsholders, block that domain without a court order.
The participants of the new Code of Conduct will work together to ensure that consumers prioritise the Internet’s autorised services and options, while at the same time actively seeking to disrupt and stop illegal activities. The Code of Conduct agreement mentions that it complements activities taken on an international level.
Under the new Code of Conduct, an injunction against a specific ISP to block a specific domain name could be extended with voluntary blocking in other areas than Internet access services, for example advertising networks and payment processors. At a copyright enforcement seminar in Copenhagen on 28 May 2015, Maria Fredenslund of the Rights Alliance described the intention as “maximising the effect of an injunction”.
A working document (only available in Danish) describes the various projects of the Code of Conduct in greater detail. Three projects are referred to as “follow the money”, covering advertising, payment processors, as well as web hosting companies and domain registrars. The focus is on voluntary blocking of content and online advertising and on stopping payment flows.
Advertising networks will take “reasonable” steps to avoid supporting services and products based on copyright infringement when selling advertising space online. They will add terms to their contracts which can limit the flow of money to allegedly/suspected illegal services. Furthermore, advertising networks will aim at working solely with partners and subcontractors that commit to following the Code of Conduct. The working group for advertising will consider extending the restrictions to websites where no judge has ruled about its illegality, but the website can be considered to be “obviously” illegal.
Payment processors will investigate the possibility of blocking payments to allegedly illegal services. Web hosting companies and domain registrars will take “reasonable” steps to remove unauthorised services from their servers and refrain from doing business with such services. It is specifically mentioned that these voluntary steps are in addition to their legal obligations to remove content under the E-commerce Directive.
A second group of projects under the Code of Conduct agreement is supposed to guide the consumers towards legal services on the Internet. The measures aim for it to be the rule, not the exception, that the consumer is presented with and motivated to use authorised services. In order to meet this goal, there are plans to remove or lower the priority of allegedly anauthorised services in search results (links) from search engines and online popularity rankings. Google and Microsoft Bing will participate in this project. Of course, Google already does this, based on US law – if certain domains are the subject of a significant number of complaints under the US DMCA, they are demoted in Google search worldwide.
Internet Service Providers will continue their current practice of voluntary blocking once an injunction has been issued against a single ISP. The blocked websites (with DNS-blocking) will display a notice which encourages the consumer to search for legal alternative at a website called Share With Care (www.sharewithcare.dk).
Safeguarding citizens’ fundamental rights is mentioned nowhere in the documents published by the Danish Ministry of Culture. No civil society organisation has participated in the discussions about the Code of Conduct. The “broad support”, referred to by the Ministry of Culture when presenting the Code of Conduct agreement, is only within the established internet companies and intermediaries. Fundamental rights, jurisdiction, applicable law, rule of law, effectiveness, counterproductive effects, anti-competitive effects, etc have, as is usual in such circumstances, not been assessed, nor will they be.

A lot of highly compensated workers of the Seattle Police Department FY2019. OpenTheBooks.com George Floyd protesters have actually inhabited for the last a number of weeks a”police-free” Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone(CHAZ)within Seattle’s East Precinct. They want city authorities to defund the authorities and reallocate resources to areas. The actions from local, state, and nationwide authorities have ranged from Mayor Jenny Durkan, who called the zone “a block party,” to President Donald Trump, who referred to the residents as “anarchists.” For their part, Seattle police worked to “minimize our footprint” in the area.
In consideration of the present argument, our auditors at OpentheBooks.com went into Seattle’s pay and pension records for 2019 to figure out how the city is in fact spending taxpayer cash.
We found tree trimmers lopped off $160,604; the chief curator made $197,704; electricians earned $271,070; electrical lineworkers made $307,387; and policemans made up to $414,543.
Last year, 601 city workers out-earned the mayor($199,593),
and the mayor out-earned 49 out of 50 state guvs(leading pay: $202,000). Seattle Police Department(SPD): 1,326 highly compensated SPD staff members made six-figures or more while 364 workers earned over $200,000 in 2015.
Review the entire payroll published at OpenTheBooks.com. Twenty SPD staff members out-earned police primary Carmen Best($289,420). The 5 highest paid included Ron Morgan Willis(patrol officer-$ 414,543 ); William Edward Jr(sergeant-$360,277); Steven Kim( officer-$332,274); Eric Zerr(sergeant-$331,413); and Brian Miles(sergeant-$328,338). Other high earners included assistant chief of collective policing Adrian Diaz($241,802),
who looks for to promote favorable relationships in between the department and the neighborhood; hostage negotiation officer James Garner( $273,917); and bomb team sergeant Daniel Miller( $279,266). SPD staff members making 6 figures last year expense taxpayers a total of $237 million and included 1,052 officers, 172 sergeants, 61 lieutenants, and 23 captains. At the police academy, nineteen instructors made in between$167,000 and $247,796. The high earner was Sergeant Linda Cook– and she was the only woman of the nineteen instructors noted.
Our auditors also discovered 102 considerable pensions that went beyond six figures annually. Highly paid retired people included Neil Low (advanced training leader – $196,416); Daniel Oliver ($192,444); Fredrick Hill (former East Precinct leader – $186,132); Ronald Wilson (former East Precinct commander – $184,020); and Michael Fann (traffic department leader – $168,696).
A police representative responded to our request for remark:
“Payment for our officers is set through the cumulative bargaining procedure pursuant to state law. It ought to be noted that settlement reported for 2019 includes retroactive payment for 2015-2018 due to the union contract having expired.”

The “Night Vision Waterproof DVR Spy Watch” is the kind of gadget that I have dreamed of being a kid, lulled by the James Bond films and other secret agents… Here is a little review of this gadget!
“HD 1080P IR Night Vision Waterproof DVR Spy Watch 4GB” (Etronixmart) behind this barbaric name hides a watch, which has 4GB of memory, which is waterproof, and above all can film in HD 1080 and night vision with IR (infrared) sensors !
In practice, the sensor is tiny, so the video quality is not amazing, but looking to the size and the prize of the gadget, it is honorable (like a smart phone camera). To start the video capture, just press one button. A small light flashes for a few moment and then disappears to guarantee total discretion… Pressing another button for two seconds, you start the IR light (infrared), which will be captured by the camera of the watch. Yes, you are now in night vision mode. Necessarily the scope of the infrared is not very big, but it’s pretty funny, especially when shooting faces, which immediately reach the look of horror movies and zombies…
The watch comes with an AC adapter and USB cable, and a small weather cap to hide the microphone when you go to film under water ;)
In short, the quality is not huge, but given the price ($59), it is quite correct and really funny !

Justin Bieber returned to the stage during Ariana Grande’s Coachella performance.
Following her star-studded Weekend 1 set with special guests *NSYNC, Diddy, Mase, and Nicki Minaj, Grande surprised fans once again with her second headlining set at the Indio, Calif. festival on Easter Sunday (April 21).
After performing crowd favorites like “7 Rings,” “Love Me Harder,” “NASA,” and “Break Free,” Grande introduced her special guest Bieber.
“We thought it might be fun to do something for you guys,” said Grande before the two performed his 2015 hit “Sorry.”
“I haven’t been on stage in like two years. I came out here, I had no idea I was going to be on stage tonight,” said Bieber. “So anyways this is my first time on stage in like two years, so I had to get my groove back. I had to get my swag back. Thank you so much Coachella. Thank you so much to Ariana Grande.”
But before leaving, he made a bombshell announcement. “And by the way, album coming soon,” he said as the crowd erupted in cheers.
Just last month, Bieber announced plans to take a break so he could deal with some “deep-rooted issues.” Taking to Instagram, the pop superstar informed fans that before he can move forward with new music he must focus on his well-being.
“Music is very important to me but Nothing comes before my family and my health,” he wrote. “I will come with a kick ass album ASAP, my swag is undeniable and my drive is indescribable his love is supernatural his grace is that reliable…. the top is where I reside period whether I make music or not the king said so. 👑 but I will come with a vengeance believe that.”
Bieber hasn’t released an album since 2015’s Purpose. Both he and Ariana Grande can be heard on Lil Dicky’s star-studded single “Earth,” which benefits environmental charities.

MATCH REPORT: First win for Stars
Sheffield 98 – 78 Poole, Elite League, Sunday 15th June 2014
Poole arrived at the Graves to face Sheffield knowing this would be their best chance to claim a first win of the season, with both sides yet to put any points on the board this season, a stark contrast to both teams fortunes last season. This was the Comets strongest team yet, Arek Szymanski & Dean Hook making their season debuts for the south coast outfit, while it was a home debut for Sheffield’s Bobby McMillan as Myke Grimes, Andy Angell and Richard Hudson returned to the side.
After the first five heats, the scores were level on 25 after a 6-4 apiece amongst three drawn heats, but the Handke-Zareba pairing took a 7-3 off the tapes over the Smith-Szymanski pairing to give the home side a 4 point lead, extending that to 9 when the Idzioreck-McMillan pairing took a 7-2 over Wheeler, after Morgan was excluded for slowing the race down. A 5-5 in heat eight steadied the ship, but another 7-3 for the Stars in heat nine from the Zareba-Grimes pairing over the Hook-Szymanski pairing put Sheffield 13 clear heading into the interval.
Straight out after the interval & Sheffield continued where they left off as Hudson passed Smith to let Handke through, giving Sheffield another 7-3, followed up by a 7-2 from the Parr-Angell pairing from Morgan after Wheeler was excluded for use of the leg. Szymanski won from McMillan & Idzioreck to try and claw something back for Poole, and they reduced the deficit in heat 13 when Zareba took second behind Gluchowski after Handke fell & was forced to withdraw through injury when shouldering Harris. A 5-5 from the tapes & then a 6-4 for the away side as Morgan held Angell from the tapes made it look like the action was over; however, heat 16 saw a drawn heat appear the likely result until Smith passed McMillan, forcing Zareba to pass Gluchowski to make that possible. Heat seventeen was a start-to-finish 5-5, but heat eighteen saw Grimes take the win from Harris and the ever chasing Angell after Wheeler was adjudged to have moved at the tapes, ending the match in a 98 to 78 win for Sheffield.
Pawel Idzioreck rode exceptionally and was well supported by Damian Zareba, Gavin Parr and Myke Grimes, while Radek Handke will feel aggrieved after that fourth race fall which ruined any chances he had of tensing unbeaten. Greg Gluchowski lost to only one opponent after his first race fourth, while Steve Harris had a solid performance and Arek Szymanski picked up two fourths & three wins. But overall, Sheffield’s team riding won them the match, as they rode sensible and fought off the attempts of this Poole side to put pressure on them.
Pawel Idzioreck 15+2 (5), Damian Zareba 15+1 (5), Gavin Parr 14+2 (5), Andy Angell 13+2 (5), Myke Grimes 12+2 (4), Bobby McMillan 12+1 (5), Radek Handke 11+1 (4), Richard Hudson 6 (3), Kyle Holland DNR
Greg Gluchowski 16 (5), Arek Szymanski 14 (5), Steve Harris 13 (5), Aaron Morgan 9+1 (5), Gavin Wheeler 9 (5), Aaron Smith 8+1 (5), Dean Hook 8 (5), Luke Armes 1 (1), Jay Briggs DNR
Referee: Mike Hack (Manchester)
The combination match was just as exciting and hard fought a match as the first team was with the match coming down to a vital race, Poole eventually claiming the win. For Sheffield, James Bunting had a much better match than at Ipswich, while Adam Watson was superb and Vicky Brown was fast and smooth. For Poole, Wil Bristowe and Callum Albin rode exceptionally good matches, and Chris Blundell took the chances he needed to support them.
Adam Watson 14+2 (5), James Bunting 14 (4), Vicky Brown 12 (4), Zac Smurthwaite 8+1 (3), Kyle Holland 7+2 (4), Richard Hudson 6 (3), Niall Morton 4+1 (3), plus 3 penalty points
Callum Albin 17+1 (5), Wil Bristowe 15+1 (5), Sandra Tamborska 9 (4), Luke Armes 8+1 (4), Chris Blundell 8+1 (4), Jay Briggs 7 (4), plus 6 penalty points
Referee: Rob Mawhood (Yorkshire)

“The dignity and stability of government in all its branches, the morals of the people, and every blessing of society depend so much upon an upright and skillful administration of justice, that the judicial power ought to be distinct from both the legislative and executive, and independent upon both, that so it may be a check upon both, and both should be checks upon that.” – John Adams
“Ultimately, faculty members have to remember that while our own research, service, and activism are important to us, our institutions exist to educate students and to help them to achieve their ambitions, not our own.” – Joseph Watson

Needs improvement: Georgia earns a grade of “C” on fiscal health from Truth in Accounting’s annual report released in September. “Of the $45 billion in retirement benefits promised, the state has not funded $7.4 billion in pension and $7.6 billion in retiree health care benefits,” according the report, which bases its data on Georgia’s 2017 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report and retirement plans’ actuarial reports.
It’s more than pay: “Mere across-the-board raises, like the ones that followed the teacher strikes in Arizona and other states, fail to address the systemic problems with how teachers are compensated and how these systems are rigged against new and mobile teachers,” writes Martin F.

Energy and environment
Nuclear meltdown: There’s a tough regulatory road ahead for the nation’s nuclear power, Erin Mundahl writes in InsideSources.com. In 1973, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission predicted 1,000 reactors by the start of the 21st century, but “new plant construction stalled because of environmental concerns and fears about public safety.” Mundahl points out: “As time passes, regulatory uncertainty is becoming an increasing concern for America’s remaining 99 operating reactors. Unless state and federal rulemakers come to a consensus relatively quickly, America’s nuclear industry may find itself on an almost inescapable downward spiral.”
Taxes and spending
Strings attached: A new book by the Badger Institute of Wisconsin, “Federal GrantStanding,” finds that grants-in-aid, which go directly from the federal government to state and local governments to fund specific projects and programs, soared from $7 billion in 1960 to about $728 billion by 2018. The money comes from federal income tax revenue and does not does not have to be repaid but must be spent according to the federal government’s guidelines.
Wrong direction: The Tax Foundation ranks Georgia No. 8 in the nation on the corporate tax component of its 2019 State Business Tax Climate Index. That’s down one position from 2018 and lagging neighbors Florida (No. 6) and North Carolina (No. 3). No. 1 is South Dakota; No. 50 is Delaware.
Piece of the action: “Nexus Monday” – the date on which the economic nexus laws of 10 states came into effect – was October 1. But just in case some businesses didn’t get the message, a number of states alerted online retailers to remind them of the date they expected companies to start collecting sales tax.

’Tis the season: Most Americans will spend more on holiday shopping in 2018 than they did last year, according to a new survey of consumers by Accenture. Overall, Americans will spend an average of $658, a roughly 4 percent increase compared to the average $632 spent in 2017.
Up, up and away: U.S median household income is at a record-high, inflation-adjusted $61,372. When you factor in that today’s households contain fewer people, the news is even better, notes economist Mark J. Perry of the American Enterprise Institute. Source: Reason.com
Jobs everywhere! At 3 percent of those seeking work unable to find jobs, the unemployment rate is lowest in Gainesville, according to a metropolitan area jobs report released this week by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Georgia’s highest unemployment rate was in Albany (4.7 percent) then Columbus (4.6 percent), while metro Atlanta’s unemployment rate is 3.6 percent.
Still climbing: Annual premiums for employer-sponsored family health coverage reached $19,616 this year, up 5 percent from last year, with workers on average paying $5,547 toward the cost of their coverage. The average deductible among covered workers in a plan with a general annual deductible is $1,573 for single coverage. Source: Kaiser Family Foundation
Plans for Georgia: Gubernatorial candidates Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp say they have plans for health care in Georgia. Republican Kemp promises a “patient-centered health system” that does not expand Medicaid while Democrat Stacey Abrams “doubled down on her commitment to expand Medicaid to protect rural hospitals.” See the Foundation’s discussion on health care options for uninsured Georgians at the 2018 Georgia Legislative Policy Forum.

This month in the archives: In October 20 years ago, the Foundation published, “What Indianapolis Can Teach Georgia.” It noted, “What can Georgia learn from Indianapolis’s success? Competition works. Georgia should apply the same ‘Yellow Pages Test’ at every level of government, soliciting bids for those services where private sector competition is strong. Let private and public sector firms compete against one another to provide needed services at the least cost and best quality.” We’re getting there, but at snail’s pace.
Have a great weekend!

- An Interleukin-2 Signal Relieves BSAP (Pax5)-Mediated Repression of the Immunoglobulin J Chain Gene
Immunity, Volume 5, Issue 4, 1 October 1996, Pages 377-386
Julie L Rinkenberger, Jeffrey J Wallin, Kirk W Johnson and Marian Elliott Koshland
SummaryCytokine regulation of B cell development was analyzed using interleukin-2 (IL-2)-induced transcription of the J chain gene as a model system. A nuclear target of the IL-2 signal was identified as the Pax5 transcription factor, BSAP, which recognizes a negative regulatory motif in the J chain promoter. Functional assays showed that BSAP mediates the silencing of the J chain gene during the early stages of B cell development, but repression is relieved during the antigen-driven stages in a concentration-dependent manner by an IL-2-induced down-regulation of BSAP RNA expression. At the low levels present in J chain–expressing plasma cells, BSAP repression could be overridden by positive-acting factors binding to downstream J chain promoter elements. Overexpression of BSAP in these cells reversed the positive regulation and inhibited J chain gene transcription. Thus, IL-2 regulation of BSAP concentration may provide a mechanism for controlling both repressor and activator functions of BSAP during a B cell immune response.

Immunity, Volume 30, Issue 4, 17 April 2009, Pages 508-520
Thorsten Decker, Marina Pasca di Magliano, Shane McManus, Qiong Sun, Constanze Bonifer, Hiromi Tagoh and Meinrad Busslinger
SummaryPax5 is an essential regulator of B cell identity and function. Here, we used transgenesis and deletion mapping to identify a potent enhancer in intron 5 of the Pax5 locus. This enhancer in combination with the promoter region was sufficient to recapitulate the B lymphoid expression of Pax5. The enhancer was silenced by DNA methylation in embryonic stem cells, but became activated in multipotent hematopoietic progenitors. It contained functional binding sites for the transcription factors PU.1, IRF4, IRF8, and NF-κB, suggesting that these regulators contribute to sequential enhancer activation in hematopoietic progenitors and during B cell development. In contrast, the promoter region was repressed by Polycomb group proteins in non-B cells and was activated only at the onset of pro-B cell development through induction of chromatin remodeling by the transcription factor EBF1. These experiments demonstrate a stepwise activation of Pax5 in early lymphopoiesis and provide mechanistic insights into the process of B cell commitment.

- ETS Protein–Dependent Accessibility Changes at the Immunoglobulin μ Heavy Chain Enhancer
Immunity, Volume 11, Issue 1, 1 July 1999, Pages 11-20
Barbara S Nikolajczyk, J.Aquiles Sanchez and Ranjan Sen
SummaryDirected accessibility mediated by antigen-receptor gene enhancers ensures developmental stage–specific activation of V(D)J recombination. Here, we used a combination of in vitro and in vivo assays to explore the mechanisms that regulate immunoglobulin μ heavy chain gene enhancer–dependent chromatin accessibility. Ets-1 or PU.1 bound to μ enhancer–containing plasmids assembled into chromatin in vitro and increased restriction enzyme access to a proximal site. In complementary analyses, expression of PU.1 in Ets-1-containing 2017 pro-T cells or NIH 3T3 cells induced sterile Iμ transcripts at the IgH locus and increased accessibility of the endogenous μ enhancer to restriction endonucleases. These observations suggest that one role of PU.1 is to increase accessibility of the μ locus to initiate heavy chain gene expression.

In Vivo Occupancy of the κ Light Chain Enhancers in Primary Pro- and Pre-B Cells: A Model for κ Locus ActivationCorresponding author: Mark S. Schlissel, 410 550 6453 (phone), 410 955 0964 (fax)
- The immunoglobulin κ light chain locus has two enhancer elements: the intronic enhancer, which lies between the Jκ cluster and the Cκ exon, and the 3′κ enhancer, which is located downstream of Cκ. To address the contribution of these elements to the developmentally regulated activation of germline κ locus transcription and rearrangement, we purified primary pro- and pre-B cells and determined by in vivo footprinting the sites within each enhancer that were occupied. We found that the κ intronic enhancer NF-κB site is occupied in both pro- and pre-B cells, while CRE, BSAP, and PU.1/pip sites within the 3′κ enhancer undergo changes in occupancy as cells progress from the pro-B to the pre-B cell stage. These findings suggest that regulation of the κ locus in primary pre-B cells may be mediated by factors that bind the 3′κ enhancer.

Purple calf born in Serbia brings Milka's iconic cow to life
Metro.com - January 17, 2012
Born in a village near to the city of Cacak, locals insist they have not seen a calf like this one before. The calf has quickly become the talk of the town and is incredibly popular with young children, who have been visiting the barn in their droves to catch a glimpse of the unusual offspring. The calf is said to be perfectly happy and healthy and vets have suggested the purple coloring is 'probably a matter of genetics', Serbian news channel PTC reported. 'We were surprised when we saw this calf's colors. So far, no cows in the world have adopted these colors,' said its owner.
But the Milka calf is not the only cow to attract the world's press of late. Last month six-year-old cow Beba gave birth to four 'miracle' calves in the central Serbian village of Sljivica, IGN reported. Cows usually give birth to just one calf at a time so this case was considered extremely rare. 'After we pulled out the first calf a neighbor told me he thought there were more,' owner Dragan Pavlovic explained. 'Soon the second calf came out, then third, then fourth, all males.'
Cattle are considered sacred in various world religions, most notably Hinduism, Jainism, Buddhism, Zoroastrianism as well as the religions of Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, and Ancient Rome. In some regions, the slaughter of cattle may be prohibited and their meat may be taboo, especially India, except in the state of Kerala.
In many cultures the cow is symbolic of Mother Earth, and has been a symbol of fertility, nurturing, and power.
The cow is also a lunar symbol, aligning itself with feminine (yin) qualities (see list of yin attributes) among the Chinese yin-yang energies.
The Egyptian goddess Nut is sometimes depicted with the cow having four stars on its belly. This represents the four cosmic quadrants of the earth, and the respective flavor each directional energy freely flows through each of these corners.
Also in Egyptian mythology, Hathor was an ancient goddess worshipped as a cow-deity. Hathor was the Great Mother goddess of joy, and was considered the nourisher of all things. She was originally a personification of the Milky Way, which was seen as the milk that flowed from the udders of a heavenly cow. She was also considered a protective goddess and an emblem of royalty.
In Norse mythology the cow makes an appearance as Audhumla whose utters emitted the four rivers of power - these provided nourishment for the giants (primarily the first giant, Ymir) that ruled the First World.
In Vedic literature the cow is also a symbol of abundance and fertility as it represents both earth and sky.
To Hindus and Buddhists, symbolism of the cow deals with patience and holiness. The cow is considered India's most sacred animal. The calm, tender nature of the cow wins this right among the Buddhists.

What happens in school gardens when school is out? Green Our Planet Farmers continue over the summer to maintain them!
Horticulturalist and Senior Farmer Rosalie is originally from South Florida and grew up with a citrus orchard in her backyard, which planted the seed for her lifelong passion for gardening. When Rosalie and her husband moved to Las Vegas in 2015, they were looking for a big backyard to continue their habits. After a year of transforming their property and adjusting to the challenges of gardening in the desert, Rosalie now maintains her own urban farm. Ever since she fell in love with that Florida grove, she has been accumulating information about how to grow food, keep plants alive and has spread her expertise in the outdoor classrooms she teaches all over the Las Vegas Valley.
What programming do you facilitate during summer?
Several of my schools have summer programs. Hollingsworth Elementary (pictured) love their garden. The kids are very involved and always have questions about what they see when I am not there.
Why do school-age students need this program?
Keeping kids engaged through the summer will keep them interested in gardening. Too often kids spend their summers indoors, especially here in Las Vegas. The gardens are lovely in the mornings!
What impact does gardening have on the students?
There is really nothing better than seeing kids’ minds get blown by where food comes from. Whether pulling carrots out of the ground or learning that heads of broccoli are really bouquets of flowers, it renews their connection to nature!

Sometimes in our lives, we find people who we expect to love us back as much as we love them, and then we decide to get into a relationship with them, but it doesn’t turn out as we intended.
Sometimes it is easy to just move on and going into a relationship with someone new but that is not the case for a lot of ladies especially when they have children from the failed relationship. the big question is why do single men avoid going into a relationship with single mothers?
Before we go further, I would like you to understand that being a single mother is not an easy task and women who are bold enough to raise their children single-handedly deserve all the support that they can get.
Bear in mind that getting married to a single mother is not a bad thing, and it takes a man with courage and a heart full of love to undertake such commitment.
Without wasting too much of your time trying to introduce you to what we will be discussing or giving you reasons why it is a good thing to date or marry a single mum, below are ten reasons why men avoid single mothers.
1. Their child or children will already come first
When a man goes into a relationship with a single mother he has to understand that her child would always be her primary concern and his needs will come secondary.
While this does not mean that she doesn’t love the man she’s with, regardless of how understanding the man tries to be, there would be a time he would become jealous that she doesn’t put him first.
2. They are never available
If you plan on going on dates with single mums, bear in mind that it is a risk because there is an 80% chance she would cancel at the last minute.
Something always comes up, it’s either the child needs her attention, or something isn’t just working in their home. So when they have to reschedule you just have to understand.
3. She will always think the world revolves around her alone
Men at home that single mothers are naturally narcissistic. Men feel that women in this category would want them to drop every other thing and focus on their children and themselves.
When a man sees a woman who exhibits such characteristics immediately assumes that she does not recognise the fact that he has needs, and for that reason, he gets turned off.
4. Single mums are emotionally unavailable
Men believe that most single mothers cannot maintain an intimate connection with them because their feelings are always invested in the child and other people.
While it is understandable that their children would have the bulk of their attention and their emotions, there is also a chance that they may be emotionally attached to the father of their child or children, and for that reason getting genuinely connected with you as the new man in her life would be much of a challenge.
5. The father of her child/children will never leave the picture
When a man goes into a relationship with a single mother he needs to understand that he does not only have to deal with her but with a lot of other people.
The father of a child would always want to pop up and not because he genuinely wants her back, but in a lot of cases, it’s because he doesn’t want to see her happy with someone else.
Even if the baby daddy has moved on with someone else, there is still a chance that he would continue playing games with the mother of his child or children for a very long time and you would be emotionally broken.
6. The kids may begin to plan against you
If you go into a relationship with a single mum who has kids that still love their dad, then there is every possibility they will do everything to get you out of their mother’s life because they want their father back.
You can’t blame the children for wanting their family to be complete so instead of putting yourself in the mix take the closest exit.
7. Her children will hate you for a long time
If you have made up your mind to go into a relationship with a single mum, get ready to deal with her children because they will do everything possible to get you away from their mum because of how much they hate you.
Regardless of how hard you try to be a nice guy they still will see you as a bad green monster or the wizard that flies with a broomstick wearing a dark garment and a black hat.
8. The entitled attitude
Men assume that single mothers feel because they have children out of wedlock there are entitled to everything that they request for.
Even though she gets all the support necessary from her baby father and from the entire society, she would still expect that you foot the bulk of her bills and also give her all the attention that she wants because she’s a queen who has princes and princesses that must be taken care of.
9. Single mums may have a distorted self-image
Some men assume that single mothers try to see themselves as sexy people because before they had kids, they probably had the best body and skin.
However, they do not understand that when they wear those clothes that reveal their stretch marks and other parts of their body, it just isn’t right.
Even when you are not happy about the way she dresses or tries to act like she’s super sexy when in your eyes she’s not you still have to pretend to see her as a supermodel and sometimes that can be very difficult if your eye naturally honest person.
10. In alot of cases, a single mum will date you to get her baby daddy jealous
You know how it is that you get into a relationship and after your breakup, you go for a rebound relationship either to get your ex off your mind or to get them jealous? Well, single mothers can play that card too.
I must put it out there that I totally do not agree with a lot of these ideas especially because single mothers are still very beautiful people and nobody has the right to treat them like they’re dealing with a condition.
The truth is love can find you anywhere, and you can find love in anyone. So if a single mother is a person who makes you happy, then you have to be brave enough to accept her and her child or children the way they love them regardless and watch how life turns out to be very beautiful for you and your family.
We hope that you enjoyed this piece of writing and we look forward to hearing from you. If you have any suggestions, opinions, or ideas that you would like to share with us, please do not hesitate to use the comment section provided below.

Play Your Gender Dir. Stephanie Clattenburg, Canada, 2017 Just 5% of music producers are women, even though many of the most bankable pop stars are female. In the entire history of the Grammys, only six women have been nominated for the Producer of the Year award, and no woman has ever won. In Play Your Gender, Juno Award-winning producer Kinnie Starr embarks on a quest to find out why this disparity exists by speaking to music industry stars and veterans about the realities of being a woman in the recording studio. The documentary features interviews with Sara Quinn of Tegan & Sara, Melissa Auf der Maur of Smashing Pumpkins and Hole, Patty Schemel of Hole, Chantal Kreviazuk, and many more of the music industry’s most talented women.

text: I’m so confused and frustrated right now, I could drive a Kia.. I have an Autometer speedo that worked great for a few hundred miles, then went spazzo, jumping erratically, then just pegged. I logged like 200 miles getting home from 20 miles away. I checked all wiring and found no issue..hell, it’s only three wires; +12v , ground, and signal. Wires are independent and not routed near other wires, so no inducted voltage. So, I figured the sender failed and bought a new one. Same issue. So then I sent the speedo to Ampmeter for test and check. They say it’s good. I tried recalibrating. One sender does absolutely nothing- zero mph. The other pegs before I get 50 feet. Now the fun part. My neighbor has the exact same sender not yet installed. I used his meter to ring out the sender for all possible combinations and wrote down all the values. I rang out both my senders and nothing matches between any of the three, but my two are way off from his. Then I notice his sender plug is wired differently? WTF? Both of mine are wired the same, and his is opposite. Check out the photo attached and notice the position of the wire colors. Does anybody have one of these they can look at and verify which wiring is correct? Any ideas? I’m getting ready to disassemble the cluster assembly AGAIN and resend the speedo back for yet another test. Anyone have a nice reliable Kia they wanna sell?
