Gov. Rick Scott defended proposed budget cuts to education and child welfare Friday, saying they were necessary to make good on his plan to create 700,000 jobs in Florida.
DAVIE - Gov. Rick Scott defended proposed budget cuts to education and child welfare Friday, saying they were necessary to make good on his plan to create 700,000 jobs in Florida.
Talking to reporters after addressing the Broward Workshop, a business group, Scott called recent high-profile cases of children who were horrifically abused or killed "tragic" and said he was confident the Department of Children and Families would devise a plan to address its shortcomings. But he said the agency would still need to make do with less.
"We all have to understand that every family in this state has had to tighten their belt. We've got to figure out how to do more with less," he said. "If we don't, we're never going to grow jobs in this state."
Scott has proposed a $2.77 billion budget for DCF in 2011-12, $172 million less than its current budget. He's also proposed cutting 1,849 positions — from 13,186 to 11,337.
The Republican governor spoke similarly on education, saying it's key to future success. But he said it was necessary to cut spending, adding that he was focused on making sure the best teachers are paid more and giving people as much choice as possible.
About $3.3 billion of Scott's $5 billion in proposed spending cuts are for education. Public school officials say his proposal to slash spending by up to $703 per student, or 10 percent, would result in laying off thousands of teachers.
"Every school district is going to have to figure out how to do better with less," he said.


Quick Industrial-Robot Programming With Handheld ProbeJanuary 20, 2021
Robot-software company RoboDK has released TwinTrack, a tool that allows users to program any industrial robot quickly and simply by tracing the desired motion with a handheld probe. The tool provides an answer as robots move into the hands of less experienced users, thus requiring more-intuitive programming interfaces, according to company officials.
With TwinTrack, users program their industrial robot by tracing the desired path with a handheld probe. The tool can be applied to many robot applications, including welding, painting, deburring, dispensing and more.
How it works: TwinTrack requires a measurement system and a probe. The measurement system detects the precise position of the probe in real time and sends it to RoboDK's offline programming software. Users simply hold the probe in their hand and place its tip where they want the robot to move. Teaching a point or a path is then a simple case of pressing a button on the probe. When calibrated, the system can detect the desired position down to an accuracy of 0.150 mm, about the width of a human hair.
TwinTrack is compatible with more than 500 industrial robots from the 50 brands that RoboDK already supports.

HOCM (hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis) is a complex genetically determined disease of the heart muscle that is present in as many as 1 in 500 people in the general population. It is characterized by thickening of the heart muscle with a normal sized heart cavity. It is diagnosed by an echocardiogram. In most people, the disease has a good outlook with few symptoms and a normal life expectancy. However, in some patterns of the disease there is an increased risk of premature death, heart failure and rhythm disturbance.
A comprehensive team approach is emphasized. The patients are seen in our center by cardiologists with extensive experience of these problems. Echocardiography is performed by highly specialized staff using the latest 3-D echo technology. Heart catheterization is usually performed. Rythym problems are assessed by cardiac electrophysiologists. The team is based at the Methodist-DeBakey Heart Center at the world renowned Methodist Hospital in Houston Texas
In mild cases, after careful evaluation, no treatment may be needed. In many other cases, medications such as beta blockers and calcium channel blockers can be used effectively. In more severe cases, the excessive muscle buildup in the outflow tract of the left ventricle may need to be removed. This can be done in some cases by injecting alcohol into one of the coronary arteries running into the lump of muscle and destroying that area. If this is not possible, unsuccessful or if other problems are present, such as blocked heart arteries or a valve problem, heart surgery is often recommended. In some cases where the risk of sudden death is present, automatic implantable cardiovertes defibrillators (AICD) are recommended. The surgery is also combined with coronary bypass surgery where indicated. The low risk nature and benefits of HOCM surgery are presented in the editorial of Dr. Maron, a world authority on HOCM, and Dr. Woo.

Eureka the Butcher, solo pseudonym of Marcel Rodriguez-Lopez (also of Zechs Marquise and The Mars Volta) debuts the video for “Desert Rituals” today. The clip for the track culled from the album Music For Mothers. The album Music For Mothers is dedicated to the multi-instrumentalist’s mother Frances Sarah Rodriguez-Lopez who passed away last year.
“This record is for my mom because she is the reason why I started playing the piano. She told me that it was great that I wanted to play drums, but if I played the piano, I could create music and play to a room full of people by myself. I didn’t start playing drums for another 4 years, and I wouldn’t start playing piano for another 7 or so. That’s when i started making electronic music. Making music under the Eureka name gives me that ability: to make music and perform by myself. I, however, do not perform alone. Sadah Luna performs with me because of my love for her dance and her love for my music. She completes the live show.
“This record was made all over the world while on tour with The Mars Volta and Zechs Marquise, and at home when I was on break. I worked on it in buses, vans, planes, dressing rooms, airports, hotel rooms, backyards, sidewalks, just about everywhere. Music for Mothers is a testament to how much waiting around you do while on the road. It was a very rough time for my family and I, and this record was my therapy. My mom is my biggest fan and she gave me the drive, confidence, and clarity to start and finish this album.
“I didn’t want it to be completely selfish and personal though. I want this music to be for all mothers…for all families. I hope that it will inspire other people to make music for their mothers, fathers, sisters, and brothers. I was given the strength to push through and finish these songs, and I hope these songs give other people the drive to do the same. The drive to gain more knowledge and improve. If my family had not been there to motivate me, if my mom hadn’t pushed me to learn other aspects of music, I would be sampling records and it wouldn’t be as rewarding to me. Sampling records properly is an art form in itself, but i knew it wasn’t for me. Instead, I learned to play a handful of instruments and because of that my music is all original and has a specific sound. This record is the sound of our household, the sound of our family.”
In an interview with Fusion Magazine, Marcel explained that his name “comes from the nature of editing; the Butcher part from cutting up sound, chopping up beats to make up new things; the Eureka part comes from when it all comes together.”

More than a quarter (28.5%) of NHS staff experienced harassment, bullying or abuse from patients and members of the public over the past year.
According to the latest NHS Staff Survey figures (February 2020), almost one in seven (14.9%) experienced physical violence, rising to 34% among ambulance trust staff. Almost 40,000 of those who responded (7.2%) said they faced discrimination from patients and four in 10 staff have felt unwell due to work-related stress.
In a letter sent to all NHS staff, the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Matt Hancock, said: “We will not tolerate assaults, physical or verbal, against NHS colleagues ‒ staff or volunteers. You should not tolerate violence or abuse either. Being assaulted or abused is not part of your job.”
The NHS staff survey is one of the largest workforce surveys in the world, with over 1.1m NHS employees invited to participate. Of these, 569,440 NHS staff responded from 300 separate organisations.

INDIANAPOLIS - A drunk man took a brief joy ride in a local jail van overnight and later got to ride to the jail in handcuffs, although he may not have ridden in the same van.
Indianapolis police (IMPD) said at roughly 9 p.m. Wednesday, a Hamilton County sheriff's deputy had a jail van parked in the lot of a church in the 900 block of North Wallace Avenue on the east side of the city.
Investigators said a man broke into the van, got ahold of some spare keys and drove off.
He drove three blocks in the van, police said.
We're told local citizens noticed the marked van was being driven by someone who shouldn't be driving it, and called police.
The man was arrested and preliminarily charged with theft, resisting arrest and public intoxication.

Our view on time
While it is one of the most complicated notions, our life evolves pretty much around time: how much time we have altogether, for what do we not have enough time, or how we manage our time individually and also through our social fabric.
There is no time travel in a strict sense of its meaning. However, we are travelling in time every day when we try to recall a memory from the past or when we try to foresee the future.
The physician Michio Kaku connected the notion of human consciousness to our relation to the past and the future. In his 2014 book called The Future of the Mind, he provides the following definition:
“Human consciousness is a specific form of consciousness that creates a model of the world and then simulates it in time, by evaluating the past to simulate the future. This requires mediating and evaluating many feedback loops in order to make a decision to achieve a goal.”
Our interest at [allyourtime] connects to this notion in several ways. We are seeking solutions and ways which help people to go back in time in order to be able to understand their own self better. At the same time, we are seeking to develop tools for helping people simulating their future by deciding on how they use their time for the things which are important for them.
So, in this context we focus on three basic functions in people’s lives:
* RECORDING what we they do by taking notes by hand or electronically;
* MANAGING notes recorded in the past for their availability in the future;
* PREDICTING by influencing their own self in the future.
This might just be the best possible time travel for us.

Among the generation who had fled Nazism and emigrated to America, Antal Dorati was one of the last conductors who were still holding a position of music director in the mid-1970s. The two others were Eugene Ormandy and William Steinberg.
Dorati in the late 40s
Dorati and Istomin had always maintained a close relationship. They met in Dallas where Dorati was appointed music director of the Dallas Symphony in 1945. Later on Dorati invited Istomin many times to Minneapolis where he succeeded Mitropoulos in 1949, then to Washington where he was in charge of the National Symphony from 1970. Their friendship grew out of the difficult situation they shared in April 1975. Mstislav Rostropovich had just been expelled from the USSR and the United States of America had welcomed him with open arms. Rostropovich was proposed to succeed Dorati, despite the fact that Dorati had been promised a renewal of his contract. Dorati learned from the media what was happening just as he was about to conduct a series of concerts with Istomin as the soloist in Beethoven’s Fourth Concerto. Their warm friendship helped Dorati to overcome his deep anger, and to engage very soon in new projects.
Their performances of the Beethoven Fourth Concerto were very moving, in an electric atmosphere. A few days later Dorati wrote to Istomin: “How very nice you were at that rather difficult moment in my life and what a real friend you showed yourself!” Some years earlier, Dorati had found the appropriate words to comfort Istomin. In November 1971, they were scheduled to play Schumann’s Concerto when Istomin’s father was dying.
Antal Dorati circa 1970
Rostropovich was in no way responsible for this unpleasant scenario and Istomin contributed to bringing together the two musicians. Slava invited Dorati to conduct the National Symphony again and Dorati accepted.
The work Istomin and Dorati performed together most often – more than ten times – was the Brahms Second Concerto, in particular with the three orchestras of which Dorati became laureate conductor: the Detroit Symphony, the Royal Philharmonic and the Stockholm Philharmonic. Both shared in Brahms the same will to combine the Romantic impetus, clarity of classical architecture and counterpoint.
Kodály skating, by Dorati
Dorati was one of the very few musicians with whom Istomin could enjoy talking about subjects other than music. Their discussions about art (Dorati was a respected draughtsman and painter) and especially philosophy (Dorati’s thoughts were published after his death under the title For Inner and Outer Peace) were extremely rich and passionate. The two men remained very close until Dorati’s illness and subsequent death of Dorati in November, 1988. Istomin was deeply moved by his last visit to Dorati’s home near Bern which took place several weeks before.

There is no audio-visual material currently available to revive the collaborations between Dorati and Istomin.
Here is a moving document: Antal Dorati’s last major project, a tour carried out in 1988, the year he died, with an orchestra composed of musicians from many European countries, the University of Maryland Choir, and four singers from Switzerland (Barbara Martig-Tüller, soprano), the GDR (Rosemarie Lang, alto), the United States (William Cochran, tenor) and the USSR (Mikhail Krutikov, bass). Dorati conducted Beethoven’s Missa Solemnis four times in the cities of Berlin, Dresden, Moscow and London, in order to bring a message of peace and warn of the dangers of nuclear war.

Email Blatant attempt by food distributors to capitalise on popularity of rugby The Irish Rugby Football Union has made contact, through its solicitors, with Largo Foods, the distributors of Hunky Dorys, and requested that they immediately withdraw the current advertising campaign, the strap line for which claims Hunky Dorys to be ‘Proud Sponsors of Irish Rugby’. Padraig Power, Commercial and Marketing Director, IRFU, stated: “This advertising campaign is in very bad taste and one which the IRFU would not want to be associated with in any way”.Sign up for the weekly Limerick Post newsletter Sign Up “Firstly, its blatant exploitation of women is tasteless and base, and quite simply unacceptable. Irish Rugby has a strong family focus and would not tolerate any connection with such an approach”. The campaign imagery launched by Hunk Dory’s urges “fans to get behind their team”, to “join in and get dirty” and uses phrases such as “Scrum – ptious” and “get to know the girls” in the locker room. Mr Power added; “Secondly, the claim that the product is a ‘Proud Sponsor of Irish Rugby’ implies that the company is a significant sponsor of the game in this country, though the IRFU. This is absolutely untrue and a cynical ploy in an attempt to capitalise on the games popularity. By doing so it has the potential to undermine the legitimate claims of the many genuine sponsors and supporters of Irish Rugby whose investment has been a key element in the success of rugby at grass roots level throughout the country, and of our Provincial and National Teams”.“In addition to pursuing the immediate withdrawal of the campaign through legal means we are also writing to the Advertising Standards Authority of Ireland bringing to their attention the misleading claims”.“We would hope that the management of Largo Foods would withdraw the campaign immediately”.

On the remote volcanic island of Hawaii, 10-year-old Manu and her mother collect wild, endangered bees in order to breed disease-resistant colonies. Her father is protesting on the sacred mountain Mauna Kea against the establishment of a gigantic telescope. On a neighboring mountain, six NASA scientists practice living on Mars, and under the ground and the water, the Kilauea volcano quivers fatefully. The scientific view of the world and the cosmology of the indigenous people are both components of Sarah Christman’s feature debut. With an artist’s eye for details and plenty of time for amazement, Swarm Season draws fascinating parallels between the micro- and macrocosm, and challenges our understanding of nature, the world and ourselves. The form is sensory, impressionistic and free, with space for our own interpretations, while also razor-sharp, when Christman observes the bees, their necessary swarming and the intricate engineering of their hives as a prism to look at all life around us. If honey bees – one of the most robust and cooperative species on this planet – are threatened with extinction, what future does humanity have on Earth?

I used the site to book a private tour as I had a free day in Paris. It was so well organised, and the tour guide couldn't do enough. I saw and did everything I wanted - from cycling down the Champ-Elysee to the Seine and down to the Eiffel Tower, to shopping in St Germain, and tasting some fantastic champagne. The guide also arranged for some shopping in boutiques and, although I've been to Paris on several occasions, I felt I got to see the city as I never have before. I didn't have to stress about anything, just relax and soak up the atmosphere. It was very relaxed and the sunshine helped! Thanks so much for a truly fantastic day!

‘With their inspired synthesis of words and imagery, MJ Barker and Julia Scheele take us beyond binaries to show us the richness of queer as a critique, as a verb and as an approach to life itself.’ Author: Jane Czyzselska
'Succeeds in opening its rarefied subject matter to non-academic audiences and disrupting assumptions and preconceptions about gender and sexuality, not to mention race, class, and the idea of “normal.”'
‘Unexpected, extraordinary wit and erudition ... Aha moments come one right after another. One small step for queer theory, this project will leap the layman far down the path of tolerance and understanding.’

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I find graphic books really helpful as I see myself as a visual learner.
I found that the way that the book is written and laid out really encouraged me to find out more about queer. Five days ago I felt the term was derogatory: now I understand it much better. I'm not saying I understand queer theory - I'm not that clever (is anyone that clever?) and I love contemplating the idea of when we use labels what does this open up (identifying with others, support groups, sense of belonging) and what does it shut down (can I change? is this me now: am I stuck with it? Do I have to come out again?).

New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez whined about her job and blamed the expiration of the expanded child tax credit for fueling crime in a new interview where she claimed that parents are stealing baby formula to feed their kids.
The firebrand socialist ignored the fact that a thriving, nationwide black market in stolen baby formula was documented more than five years ago and that the item was being pilfered from city stores long before the tax credit expired, with cops calling it a favorite of the alleged “Man of Steal” shoplifter Isaac Rodriguez, who racked up at least 46 arrests last year.
Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), representing the Bronx and Queens, also complained about her $174,000-a-year gig as a federal lawmaker, calling Congress a “s–t show” that she claims has her thinking about walking away from politics “all the time.”
“I ate s–t when I was a waitress and bartender, and I eat s–t as a member of Congress. It’s called a job, you know?” she told the New Yorker in potty-mouthed remarks posted online Monday.
Ocasio-Cortez further insisted that the recent election of Mayor Eric Adams, a former NYPD cop, on a law-and-order platform was not “evidence of some sort of decision around policing,” and she accused America of ignoring the reasons behind the rise in crime that accompanied the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Because we run away from substantive discussions about this, we don’t want to say some of the things that are obvious, like, Gee, the child-tax credit just ran out, on December 31st, and now people are stealing baby formula,” AOC said.
The New Yorker’s Q&A with Ocasio-Cortez was published two days after the firebrand progressive stumped for two fellow Democrats in Texas, where she predicted that the Lone Star State “turning blue” was “inevitable.”
But in her Feb. 1 interview, Ocasio-Cortez, the leading face of the Democratic Socialists of America, acknowledged supporting a socialist mayoral candidate in Buffalo last year in a race “which ultimately didn’t pan out.”
Ocasio-Cortez avoided answering a number of tough questions from the New Yorker, refusing to rate President Biden’s performance in office, reveal whether she plans to challenge Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) or say whether House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) should be replaced.
Ocasio-Cortez also wouldn’t name names when asked which fellow Democrats have “disappointed” her, saying only, “I still am disappointed in leadership and in my colleagues, because, ultimately these conversations about ‘defund [the police],’ or this, that, and the other, are what is happening in public and popular conversations.”
At one point, Ocasio-Cortez said former MNBC host Brian Williams helped paint her as a “radical socialist” and she claimed that the response to the controversial “Tax the Rich” dress she wore to last year’s exclusive Met Gala was “quite positive” in her community.
Ocasio-Cortez also defended her decision to spar online with her critics, including calling Republicans “creepy weirdos” after Steve Cortes, who was a campaign adviser to ex-President Donald Trump, mocked her boyfriend’s “gross pale male feet” and “hideous sandals” during the couple’s trip to Miami last month.
“And sometimes how I feel is, if I’m going to be this, like, commodified avatar thing, then I’m going to play with it, like a toy,” she said.

Bleach may have ended in the form of its anime and manga, but the world of Ichigo Kurosaki continues in the form of a sequel novel series, Can't Fear Your Own World, that dives into the lore of the Shinigami and the Quincy. No longer following the story of Ichigo Kurasaki, the new light novel series follows the Shinigami of Soul Society, Shuhei Hisagi, as entirely new parts of the universe are explored. One such attribute that has been examined is a quite possibly the strongest fighter to ever appear in the franchise proper and we're here to breakdown just who this character is and what they're capable of.
One Reddit User posted the translation of Can't Fear Your Own World that broke down the attributes of Gremmy Thoumeaux, a Quincy with the ability to "manifest his thoughts" into a body that would be the strongest in the world:
Gremmy's description here is certainly vast, seeming to paint a picture that this being's ability to simply create reality from his thoughts gives him the power to just make himself stronger than anyone else in the world. While it's a shame that we'll most likely never see Thoumeaux brought to life in the form of anime, it's still worthwhile to see that the once popular anime franchise has managed to live on via a novel series spin off and perhaps one day, it will return in some form or fashion to the medium of anime. Considering how popular the Netflix live action movie was, maybe we'll see these events translated to live action to boot?
What do you think of the description of Gremmy Thouemeaux? Have you been following the Bleach sequel series, Can't Fear Your Own World? Feel free to let us know in the comments or hit me up directly on Twitter @EVComedy to talk all things comics, anime, and Soul Society!
Bleach was first created by Tite Kubo for Shueisha's Weekly Shonen Jump, running from 2001 to 2016. The series follows the young delinquent Ichigo Kurosaki, who has the ability to see spirits. He soon obtains the power of a Soul Reaper - one meant to usher lost souls to the afterlife - and now has the duty to defend the living world from monstrous dark spirits known as Hollows.
It has been adapted into English thanks to VIZ Media, and has sold over 900 million copies in Japan. The series was later adapted into an anime by Studio Pierrot from 2004 to 2012, and has four feature-length animations, rock musicals, video games, and a ton of other merchandise. You can currently find the series now streaming on Hulu. There's also a live-action adaptation on Netflix, and you can find ComicBook.com's review of the film here.

Earlier this year, EventMB research found that many eventprofs hadn’t yet cracked the code of profitable virtual events — only 25% of planners were able to pivot profitably, and of those, only 7% exceeded the original expectations of their physical event.
While these percentages are small, they prove that it’s possible to not only make a profit from a virtual event, but to make more than a physical event. Digital events offer many benefits, such higher attendance rates and opportunities for evergreen content, that can be powerful revenue generators if leveraged correctly.
Let’s take a closer look at some events that are doing just that.
Hosting Profitable Virtual Events
Setting ticket prices — and justifying the cost by delivering the value your attendees expect — is an important part of monetizing virtual events.
However, as discussed by William Thomson, Managing Director of Gallus Events, during our Future of the Event Industry virtual event, ticket prices aren’t the be all and end all when it comes to making money from online events — revenue streams such as sponsorships and subscription models are just as important to keep in mind.
VentureBeat Offers Same Sponsorship Tiers as for Live Event
Every year since 2015, VentureBeat has organized a game industry event, the GamesBeat Summit, which was supposed to take place in LA this past April. However, they were inevitably forced to pivot to virtual, with only three weeks to make the switch.
In the end, the virtual GamesBeat Summit 2020 was more profitable than the 2019 live event. VentureBeat’s VP of Strategic Partnerships, Gina Joseph, explains that this was possible in part because of higher profit margins, but also because they didn’t lower sponsorship costs for the virtual event. And the event more than justified that cost, as sponsors actually walked away with a higher ROI.
Virtual can be a powerful lead generation format, as planners can provide more tangible data on impressions and engagement. Joseph also mentions that virtual events give “sponsors the opportunity to hold more one-to-one meetings and have access to Slack channels to have more direct and engaged lines of communication.”
On-Demand Content Fuels More Revenue for Insider Inc.
Insider Inc., Business Insider’s parent company, has been using on-demand content to bring in revenue since moving its events online this year. Although its online events are free, and its virtual sponsorships cost less than its physical ones, the company has generated eight times more revenue this year than it did last year.
It has done so by putting on more events, and by implementing on-demand programs that can be accessed after the events are streamed. This has led to increased ROI for sponsors since this type of content can still generate awareness and engagement long after the event has ended.
Virtual and hybrid events will be around for the foreseeable future, but the industry as a whole still hasn’t mastered how to deliver value and sustainably generate revenue from these formats. Providing robust lead generation opportunities, as well as exploring on-demand content and ongoing community engagement, are proven strategies that can help boost profitability for online events.


FBI busts Florida firefighter who was photographed in Capitol building while it was under siege
Sanford firefighter and paramedic, Andrew Williams (pictured), was arrested by the FBI on Tuesday
A Florida firefighter has been arrested by the FBI after he was spotted wearing a Trump hat inside the Capitol while it was under siege by MAGA supporters.
Sanford firefighter and paramedic, Andrew Williams, was taken into custody on Tuesday, according to a statement from the fire department’s chief Crag Radzak.
Following his arrest, Radzak said Williams was placed on administrative leave without pay pending the results of the criminal investigations.
Radzak said the Sanford Fire Department was made aware of information regarding the possibility of a firefighter’s involvement in events that took place last week at the Capitol in Washington, DC.
‘Along with the information, a photograph was submitted that depicts a male, identified as Andrew Williams. The picture appears to show Williams inside the Capitol Building during the unlawful entry made by protesters,’ Radzak said in the statement.
Williams has been charged with one count of unlawful entry of a restricted building and one count of disorderly conduct on Capitol grounds.
‘We hold the men and women in this department to the highest standards. It saddens me that the actions of one individual have tarnished the hard work and dedication that the rest of the department puts forth on a daily basis,’ Radzak said in the statement.
Williams was arrested after he was identified in a photo that was sent anonymously to the WKMG news station. Williams is seen wearing a ‘Trump 2020’ hate while pointing to a placard with Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi written on it
‘Our investigation will continue in conjunction with the current federal criminal investigation,’ Radzak said.
‘As is policy with any type of policy violation, including a criminal violation, an internal administrative process must be followed in order to ensure a thorough investigation with a just conclusion. I ask for the public’s patience as we move through this process,’ he added.
Williams was arrested after he was identified in a photo that was sent anonymously to the WKMG news station.
In the image, Williams is seen wearing a Trump 2020 hat while pointing to a sign for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
During the riot, Pelosi’s office was vandalized and several rioters were seen taking pictures at her desk. According to WKMG, Williams appeared in court on Tuesday and a judge set his bond at $25,000.
He was released from custody under the restrictions that he would need to surrender his passport and travel. Williams was also ordered to surrender any firearms in his possession and submit to mental health evaluations and drug tests.
He appeared in court on Tuesday and a judge set his bond at $25,000. Now that he has been released from custody, he will need to surrender any firearms and his passport, restrict his travel and submit to mental health evaluations and drug tests.
Williams could receive a fine or up to six months in prison if he’s convicted.
And Williams isn’t the only firefighter that was photographed at the Capitol last week. Federal agents are investigating claims that New York City firefighters participated in the Capitol siege
Several people have been charged in the incident. Among them are West Virginia delegate Derrick Evans, 35, Adam Johnson, 36, who was photographed carrying off Pelosi’s podium, and Richard Barnett, 60, who was pictured with his feet on Pelosi’s desk
And Williams isn’t the only firefighter that was photographed at the Capitol last week.
Federal agents are investigating claims that New York City firefighters participated in the Capitol siege.
One rioter was spotted wearing an FDNY jacket – which read FDNY Squad 252 -outside the Capitol. Squad 252 is based out of Brooklyn. The firefighter has not been named but is said to be retired.
FDNY told New York Daily News that they had received anonymous tips offs about at least one current New York firefighter who was not wearing his uniform during the siege but was recognized from the footage.
FDNY spokesperson Frank Dwyer told the newspaper that ‘The department received anonymous allegations that active or retired members were present at the events at the United States Capitol on January 6 and, as required, has provided that information to the FBI.’
It’s unclear what information was given to federal agents, but officials told the newspaper no arrests or suspensions have been made in association with the riot.
Several people have been charged in the incident. Among them are West Virginia delegate Derrick Evans, 35, who was newly sworn in when he streamed himself entering the Capitol on Facebook Live; Adam Johnson, 36, was photographed carrying off Pelosi’s podium, and Richard Barnett, 60, who was pictured with his feet on Pelosi’s desk.
Charges in the cases include assaulting police officers, entering restricted areas of the Capitol and stealing federal property.

Planting fruit trees at home can provide many benefits to you, your family, and your environment. There’s a common misconception that fruit trees are high maintenance, but most fruit trees are actually fairly easy to care for. While newly planted trees can take a few years to start producing fruit, you’ll soon be able to enjoy fruit that’s been grown in your own backyard.
One benefit of planting fruit trees at home is that doing so can save you money. Once your fruit trees begin to produce fruit, you won’t have to go to the grocery store to buy fruit. You can save the fruit from your trees for later by canning it or putting it in the freezer, so you don’t have to worry about waste. Then, you’ll be able to enjoy your homegrown fruit even after your trees are done blooming for the season.
Fruit trees also provide food for the long-term. Certain fruit trees can live to be over 100 years old, and since fruits are perennial, you won’t need to replant them.
Growing your own fruit trees is a simple way to add some joy and pleasure to your life. But which fruit trees are best suited for planting in Louisiana? This article will cover the best fruit trees to plant in Louisiana, so you can start picking fruit off your trees even sooner.
One of the best fruit trees you can plant in the Louisiana climate is a fig tree. This is because figs are one of the best adapted fruits to the Gulf States region.
Fig trees are low maintenance and don’t require a ton of work or upkeep to stay healthy. They do better in a location that’s well-drained, but they can easily survive in a wide variety of soil conditions.
Citrus (orange, lime, lemon)
If you’re looking for a low-maintenance fruit tree to plant in your backyard, citrus is the way to go. Generally, citrus trees require minimal pruning. They are usually fairly vulnerable to cold temperatures, so it can take a while for a citrus tree to recover if it’s been injured by freezing weather.
Blueberries grow on bush-like trees, and they’re also incredibly low-maintenance. They need acidic soil and mulch to nurture their shallow, fibrous roots. Typically, blueberry plants will start producing a full crop of fruit three years after planting.
It’s best to plant blueberries in an area that gets full sun. If you want to guarantee cross pollination and healthy production of fruit, consider planting multiple varieties. Different types of blueberries include Brightwell, Climax, Tifblue, and Premier.
Pomegranates are delicious fruits that are commonly found in older parts of Louisiana. They grow in the form of a large, 15-foot shrub, and they benefit from sandy soil with even moisture. As for climate, pomegranate plants enjoy cooler winters and hot, dry summers.
Similarly to blueberry plants, you should plant pomegranates in an area where they will receive full sun rather than shade. If you plant pomegranates in shade, you may risk decreasing the plant’s fruit production by as much as 50 percent.
You’ll find persimmons growing in Louisiana that belong to both native and oriental varieties. However, oriental persimmons are preferred for growing in the Louisiana climate. The oriental fruits are usually 7-10 times larger than the native ones, and they typically have substantially fewer seeds. This makes for a much more pleasurable eating experience!
When planting persimmons, be sure to choose a location that allows for partial sun or partial shade. The most popular varieties of oriental persimmons are called Fuyu and Hana Fuyu.
Another great fruit tree that is suitable for the Louisiana climate is the loquat tree. Loquats fall into the low maintenance category as well, making them an ideal option if you’re new to growing fruit trees.
Loquat trees grow to be about 25 feet tall, and their canopy can spread 15 to 20 feet wide. A larger fruit tree like this one makes an attractive addition to your home landscape. This type of fruit tree tends to be sensitive to cold weather. They can tolerate temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit, but beyond this point, their flowers and fruit will die.
When you set out to plant a loquat tree, be sure to choose a sunny location that’s at least 25 to 30 feet away from any buildings, structures, other trees, or electrical lines. Caring for your loquat tree is easy; fertilize it three times per year with lawn fertilizer, water the tree throughout the spring, and promptly pull any weeds that crop up around it.
The pecan tree is a large tree that produces tasty, savory nuts that are the shining ingredient in many recipes. Pecan trees can be slightly higher maintenance than other fruit trees because they do tend to drop a large amount of leaves, twigs, and fruit during the fall. They can grow as large as 130 feet tall and 75 feet wide, so you need to have a lot of space to plant this tree.
The best type of pecan variety to plant in Louisiana is called Elliott. Be sure to plant the tree at least 30 feet away from any structures in a spot that gets plenty of sun. Pecan trees need at least three feet of good, well-drained soil at a pH level between 6 and 7.
Pecan trees require cross pollination to reproduce, so you may need to plant more than one to harvest the amount of nuts you desire. Or, if there are other pecan trees in your neighborhood, you may be able to rely on them for your tree’s pollinating needs.
Also, keep in mind that pecan trees need a lot of water. When they’re young, they need 10 to 15 gallons of water per week from either irrigation or rain.
Plum (Methley, Santa Rosa, Morris)
Plums have an excellent taste on their own and also make a great jam or jelly. These trees need full sun and sandy, well-drained soil to flourish. Ideal soil for a plum tree has a pH between 5.5 and 6.5. You can easily test your soil before planting to make sure conditions are appropriate.
The best plum varieties to plant in Louisiana are Methley, Santa Rosa, and Morris. You may consider planting one of each variety in your yard. All of these varieties need an average amount of water during their growing season and more water when the climate is very dry.
Methley plums turn a vibrant purple color as they ripen, and their flesh is deep red. These plums typically ripen during the second half of July and are a tasty summer treat. They are also self-pollinating and serve as a good pollinator plant for other Japanese varieties of plums.
The Santa Rosa plum is large and red with golden-colored flesh. This type of plum ripens during the first half of August, and its flavor is deliciously sweet.
Finally, the Morris plum tree produces fruit that is purple on the outside and red on the inside. These plums are sweet and juicy and can be eaten fresh or used in cooking.
The mayhaw tree was adopted as the official state fruit tree of Louisiana in 2014.
A fruit that is closely related to apples and pears, mayhaw fruit trees are medium in size and are native to the swampy lowland areas of Louisiana. Mayhaw fruits are similar in appearance to crabapples, and while they tend to be too tart for most people to eat raw, they are popular star ingredients in jams, syrup, and wine.
The mayhaw tree blooms in early spring and requires moist, well-drained soil that has a pH between 6 and 6.5. Be sure to plant mayhaw trees about 20 to 30 feet apart to allow them sufficient room to grow.
Mayhaw trees fall into the higher maintenance category than some other fruit trees because they are fairly susceptible to diseases. After planting, be on the lookout for a common disease called quince rust which causes pimple-like bumps to cover the fruit and stems. You can prevent this disease by spraying the trees with a fungicide as they bloom.
Similar to its citrus relatives, satsuma trees require temperate climates and plenty of sun. These trees tend to fare slightly better in cold weather than other citrus varieties.
The satsuma fruit is a type of mandarin with delicious, sweet flavor, few seeds, and loose skin. They are a popular growing choice in Louisiana. You may consider planting the Owari variety or the newer LSU Early variety of satsuma.
The best time to plant satsuma trees is during spring after cold weather has passed. Make sure its soil is well-drained, and provide it with consistent water and citrus fertilizer year-round. The best place to plant a satsuma tree is on a sunny wall, so it can absorb as much heat and sun as possible during the winter months.
Finally, kumquat trees are small, attractive, and easy to care for. The fruits have a slightly sour taste and a sweet, edible skin. Kumquat trees can grow to be 15 feet tall and 12 feet wide, and some varieties produce fruit two times per year. The ideal time to plant a kumquat tree is during late winter or early spring, after the cold weather has melted away.
These trees are self-pollinating, so you don’t need to plant more than one. Plant kumquats in full sun and slightly acidic soil that is well drained. When watering, aim to keep the soil moist but not soaking wet.

Conversely, offenders assessed as low risk to reoffend do not benefit from behavior changing. for high-risk offenders by more than 25 percent but increased reincarceration of low-risk offenders by almost 18 percent.4 Researchers think this counterintuitive finding may occur because mixing risk groups exposes the lower-risk offenders to the more destructive behaviors of higher-risk offenders and jeopardizes prosocia AB 1603, as amended, Shirley Horton.

There is mounting evidence that the risk-need-responsivity model is important for sex offender treatment. Lovins, Lowekamp and Latessa (2009) found that high-risk sex offenders who completed intensive residential treatment were more than two times less likely to recidivate than high-risk sex offenders who did not receive intensive treatment Both Vancouver police and Surrey RCMP issued warnings about a high-risk sex offender with that name last year, and transit police spokesperson Sgt. Clint Hampton confirmed that the man arrested.
The researchers found this to be particularly true for the high risk offenders. Thus, we should be careful to ensure that there is careful consideration of the re-offence patterns of offenders.

LATEST | FEATURES | INTERVIEWS | NEWS | FRIGHTFEST | REVIEWS Interview with Mathieu Turi director of Hostile
By James Whittington, Wednesday 25th October 2017
Ahead of the UK premiere of his debut feature Hostile at the Horror Channel Frightfest Halloween event, director Mathieu Turi shares his admiration for Tarantino, describes the challenges of filming in three continents and reveals his 'magic hour'.
You were born in Cannes so you grew up with film all around? When did you know for sure you wanted to direct?
MT: I think it's always been there. As a child, I used to steal my dad's VHS camera to make mini-movies. They were basically all about my Jurassic Park toys eating my dog or invading the garden. Later, I did more elaborate short films with friends, instead of studying. Then, I remember watching Braveheart and the making of the movie. For the first time, I knew that directing was something I wanted to do for a living.
You have been second unit director and assistant director on numerous major blockbusters - Sherlock Holmes 2, Inglorious Bastards, G.I. Joe - what was the movie or director you feel you learnt most from?
MT: Tarantino, with no hesitation. Inglorious Bastards was one of my first jobs in the movie business, and I was assistant of the assistant of the assistant. But when you work on the set of someone you admire, It's very special. I learnt that you have to love what you do, and as a director, you have to stay focused on the actors and the scene. Nothing else matters. Working for Quentin Tarantino was my best set experience as an A.D.
What inspired the Hostile script?
A lot of stuff. Hostile is a kind of mix between my two shorts (Sons Of Chaos and Broken). The first is a post-apocalyptic, very low-budget movie, and the second is a romance in an elevator. And If you talk about exterior inspirations, I would say the main one is I Am Legend, the Richard Matheson book. It's my favourite book ever, a masterpiece. I read it twice a year, and it's never the same feeling. Also, I'm a huge fan of the video game The Last Of Us. It has everything: a perfect story, focused on characters but in an original post-apocalyptic context, with never seen creatures, and the end is magic. I'd love to see a movie adaptation of it, but It would be tricky.
Hostile was executive produced by Xavier Gens and stars Brittany Ashworth from his new movie The Crucifixion. Can you talk about his influences and that of recent extreme French genre titles?
MT: Xavier is a good friend of mine, and also my mentor since the beginning. He's the one who presented me to FullTime Films producers (Thomas Lubeau, Eric Gendarme and Olivier Chateau) as they were looking for projects. We all met at the Cannes film fest in 2015, and two years later, here we are! He also helped us to find Brittany Ashworth, as he had worked with her on The Crucifixion. Hostile is not influenced by any of them, but I'm very happy that all those movies got made. You know, in France, It's not easy to do that kind of extreme genre movie.
Hostile builds to a wonderful emotional epiphany. Was the story all about leading to that rare moment in zombie movies?
MT: It's the first scene that came to my mind before writing the script, and without spoiling it, it was also the best moment on set. It was just magical - the natural light at that exact time (D.O.P's calls it the "magic hour").The team was speechless, and in my mind, I knew It worked. Often, as a director, you have to wait to be in the editing room to be hundred percent sure a scene works, but for that one, I knew on set.
None of this would work unless you cared about the characters, especially Juliette. Did her back-story change through successive drafts of the screenplay?
MT: Not complete scenes, but dialogue and actions changed a lot. I'm a very collaborative director with my actors, and I want them to dig into the characters, try stuff, fail sometimes, but always try to go further. And they did, every time. Juliette's backstory has been completed by Brittany. I gave her some intentions, but asked her to find a personal story, why she came to New-York and what happened in the first years of her post-apocalyptic life. We talked a lot about it, very detailed stuff that only her and I know. Actually, we could easily do a prequel about it!
We love Gregory Fitoussi in the UK because of the French law and order drama Spiral. Was that a reason for casting him as Jack?
MT: I really wanted someone with a true charisma. Gregory is one of those guys. He could just walk in the room and you feel it. It's a very rare power. And also, we worked a lot together on the character, to keep his French touch intact, but not fall in the cliche. Jack needed to be very confident, strong and mysterious. He's the entire reason for the flash-backs, so we had to keep in mind that Juliette felt secure with him, and that's what she doesn't have any more in the present.
And we also love Javier Botet who seems to be in so many movies at the moment. What did he add to his Living Dead role that no one else could have?
MT: Two things: the first is obvious, and that's why he's in all those movies. (REC, Mama, Alien: Covenant, IT). He has an incredible body, and he uses it like magic. When you see him working, it's just insane. The movements he performs, the way his thin body moves. He's a piece of art. The second thing: he's a very good actor, and that's vital for that kind of role. You can't imagine how hard it is to express yourself under the makeup. And Javier does it perfectly.
Your feature debut; what was the biggest learning curve you hadn't expected?
MT: That you have to sleep an entire month to get back on your feet! More seriously, I would say It was very hard to go from one team to another, as our shoot was only 24 days, in three different continents. So we had the New York Unit, the Morocco Unit and the Paris Unit, with different crews, productions offices, preps, etc... But on the other hand it has been an incredible adventure, and I had the chance to work with all those amazing people.
Will you always stay in horror or is it a stepping stone to other genres? Can you tell us what you're working on at the moment?
MT: Hostile is kind of a two genre movie, I just love to cross lines. But I love horror, sci-fi, thrillers... And I'm working on a very crazy project right now. It should be official soon, but I just can say that it's a sci-fi-fi/horror movie with a unique concept. We are in the casting phase right now, with the same producers at FullTime Films, and we will shoot it next spring. I can't wait to talk about it, and I hope we will see each other again at FrightFest next year to show it!

Directed by Bill Watterson it's an intelligent, thought-provoking film that deserves to reach a global audience and will be released here early 2019. We chatted to Bill about this incredible movie.
HC: Where did this concept come from?
WW: Three places: Steven was underway on a script called 'Operation: Death Maze,' or something cool like that. Portions of it were re-purposed after he jibed with a story I told about my mom coming home and seeing an incredible fort that I'd build in my bedroom, and concluding that I'd gotten lost within it when I d...SHARE: READ MORE Interview with Paul Hyett director of Peripheral

His latest work, Peripheral is having its UK Premiere at the FrightFest Halloween 2018 event so we decided to chat to Paul about this and his view on technology.
HC: How did the project of Peripheral come together?
PH: Peripheral was bought to me by the original producer, he thought I'd be a good fit. Originally he had pitched me a one woman in a room, contained location about bad technology theme.

HC: After six years away from directing, you have two films, Reborn and Daddy's Girl poised for distribution. Why these two very different films now?
JR: My previous film Shiver was completed in 2012 and it took longer for me to get back into the directing saddle because of commitments I had to my sales company Jinga Films.

Here Jules tells all about this brilliant piece.
HC: Where did the idea for Alive come from?
JV: We'd talked about writing a horror screenplay for a number of years before we finally came up with the right idea. We're both big fans of classic horror and we love the works of Hitchcock, Carpenter, Friedkin, and Cronenberg so in a way we had a very specific style and feel in mind before we even had the story.

Personally, I'm inspired by the eighties and nineties movies such as of Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson, Alex de la Iglesia.

I couldn't be more excited! I've always said that even though Hatchet may have world premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in NYC, it was at FrightFest in London where "Victor Crowley" was truly born.

HC: This is your first short as a director, what inspired you to write this script?
TdV: I read a really interesting article about how smart crows are, in particular how they can hold grudges. Apparently a group of scientists had gone out and harassed a murder of crows whilst wearing masks. If they went back wearing the masks, the crows would remember them and fight back. If they didn't wear the masks, the crows would leave them alone. This made me start thinking about what would happen if someone tried to save a crow from a bunch of kids who were trying to kill it. Would the other crows from its murder remember this? And what would they do to help her?...SHARE: READ MORE Interview with Stewart Sparke, director of Book of Monsters

We were lucky enough to have the film released on DVD and VOD in over eight countries under various names. I think my favourite has to be Japan's Leviathan X: From the Deep! The film even had a theatrical release in Taiwan which was quite surreal as it was playing opposite Thor Ragnarok over there so overall, we've been completely blown away by everything that's happened.

It's a pretty amazing feeling to have grown up in the same location that we'd eventually film our first feature in! We were able to incorporate all the parts of my house that used to scare me as a child and weave them into a story about witches, which was extremely fun and nostalgic at times.
