A small town in Colorado called Deer Trail has rejected a proposal to issue official licenses to “drone hunters.” Back in 2013 a resident of this town, Philip Steel, proposed that the city grant drone hunting licenses as well as up to a $100 bounty to people who “hunt” federal drones. He called the proposal “symbolic,” had the proposal passed it would have earned the town some money, and maybe even draw drone-hunting tourists towards it.
The Denver Post reports that of the 181 people who cast ballots, 73 percent opposed the proposal. Deer Trail has nearly 350 registered voters and a total popular of less than 600 people. The overwhelming majority voted against the proposal, which would have granted official licenses to drone hunters for $25. Some residents even called Steel’s proposal embarrassing for the small town.
The federal government didn’t just sit around and wait for the town to do its thing. It warned that shooting a drone is illegal and could result in civil or criminal liability, “just as would firing at a manned airplane.” Intent doesn’t matter, shooting down federal drones isn’t allowed.
Even the town’s mayor was in favor of this proposal, “let this town make a little money,” he said. However, he was voted out of office. That, and a few other factors, led to the delay of the vote several times.

Thank you again for your ongoing support for One Village One Vote and our efforts to consolidate Ridgewood’s local elections to November. As a quick update, the Village Clerk has rejected our petition. After the Clerk’s office declined to provide guidance on the proper approach to writing the petition, we tried to use friendly language within the petition and collected it electronically as permitted under our understanding of Gov. Murphy’s Executive Order 132. The Clerk has now notified us of two deficiencies with the petitions:
The full text of the proposed ordinance to change the elections timing must be on the signed petition forms.
Every petition must be circulated directly by one of us, the Committee of Petitioners, and not gathered by someone else or downloaded directly from our website.
If you are interested, the full details of the deficiencies were provided during last night’s Village Council meeting (go to 1:11:40 for the relevant section).
Given this, WE NEED SOME QUICK HELP FROM YOU. We hate to bother you again, but we ask that you please print and sign the petition one more time (one form for each voting member of your household!), and either drop it to any of us or scan and email it back to one of us directly (email addresses at the bottom of this email). Please send this back to us BY AUGUST 11 to give us time to compile and resubmit. Since the postal service is slower in the summer, please do not place in the mail.
Thanks again for your time and patience. We are confident that, barring any additional unforeseen obstruction, this resubmission will be what gets us on the ballot in November. If you have any questions or would like to discuss, feel free to drop any of us a line.
Yesterday, July 6th, we submitted 570 citizen petitions to our local clerks, Heather Mailander and Donna Jackson. In addition, we notified the Bergen County clerk’s office.
Below is a timeline for the process that will bring our petition to a BINDING question on this November’s ballot.
We were required to submit a minimum of 410 petitions. Given that some of the petitions will be rejected due to signature or residency issues, we submitted 570 to ensure that we would reach the required minimum for the question to be placed on the ballot.
We were cognizant to keep our number of submissions below 615. Submission of 615 petitions could trigger a special election, which is the last thing we would hope to do!
The Village Clerk now has until July 26th to certify the petitions meaning she will confirm that the signatures match the signer’s voting cards and that the signers live in their stated addresses.
The clerk must return any “deficient” petitions to us and we then have 10 days to cure, meaning we can ask the signers to correct any errors or we can collect additional signatures, if needed.
If necessary, the Village Clerk then has until August 11, to recertify additional petitions.
Once certified, the Village Manager presents the certified petitions to the Village Council at the next public meeting as a “first reading.”
At the following public meeting (by September 1), the Village Council can either vote to approve an ordinance moving our Council and BOE elections to November, or to put this issue as a binding question on the November 2020 ballot.
We are hopeful that the process will play out fairly and that this binding initiative will appear as written, inclusive of the interpretative statement, on the November 2020 ballot. In that election, the Ridgewood voters will have the opportunity to decide if our elections should be consolidated.
If the voters vote YES on this question, the decision is BINDING and the elections will be consolidated to November.
Thank you to everyone who signed a petition and helped us move our initiative to the ballot. We hope all of you continue to follow our efforts and help spread the word to your friends and neighbors.
One Village, One Vote!
Be sure to sign up for emails at www.onevillageonevote.com in order to receive all of the latest information and learn how you can help support this change in our Village. We look forward to connecting with you.

In the prologue to Backyard Giants, author Susan Warren claims that the people who grow the world's largest pumpkins are "not much different from athletes who compete for any Olympic gold medal to prove they've reached the pinnacle of their sport."
I kept reading, anyway.
Backyard Giants celebrates the gardeners who battle "hungry insects and rodents, nasty microbes, blistering heat, and early cold snaps" to pump up pumpkins that get so big and weird that they no longer look like pumpkins at all. They look like "lopsided lumps," "alien pods in the cargo bay of a spaceship" or "huge, cancerous tumors." The biggest of them weigh a ton and a half. Many of them aren't even orange.
The heroes of Ms. Warren's foray into the world of giant pumpkins and the people who grow them are Dick and Ron Wallace, a father and son who cultivate monstrous specimens in Rhode Island. Together they talk about the potential of various seeds and the proper mixture of fertilizers. They moan about the weather. At the height of the growing season, they whine when their pumpkins gain less than fifty pounds a day. They worry about some guy in Ohio who is said to be engaged in the production of a pumpkin that may weigh well over fifteen hundred pounds.
One of them manages to stay married.
Backyard Giants would be a ridiculous book if it weren't for the enthusiasm, wisdom, and sense of humor Susan Warren brings to the stories of these people who share one of the more curious obsessions I've ever encountered.

Hi Dolls:) Can you believe it is February already!!!! So my first few posts this month will be all about Valentines Day. For my first mani, I just had to use classic V-day colors:) Zoya Rooney a bright bubblegum pink and Zoya Hannah a bright cherry red, seemed perfect to me!!! I did a simple gradient on my ring and pinky fingers with some free handed hearts in white. I did a plain white creme base on my pointer and middle finger with freehand hearts in Rooney and Hannah.
Classic Colors and hearts are perfectly festive for V-day. I do think this mani was either missing something or has too much of something, I just can't seem to put my finger on it! I debated on whether or not to even post this mani because I didn't love it. But right or wrong not all mani ideas turn out the way we want them to!!!

And Carry On is great. Simon and Baz are a joy to read about. I can understand why Rainbow wanted to explore them more and why she felt like she wasn’t done with them after one book. Because I wasn’t either. And it’s been a long four years, but Wayward Son is here! And I’m here to tell you to read it. Because Simon is still great. Baz is even better. And this time, there’s a road trip.
Wayward Son picks up right where Carry On left off, just like the lyrics intended (I heartily suggest a reread – I had forgotten everything and it was so helpful to have Carry On fresh in my mind). Simon, Baz, Penelope, and Agatha have graduated (or flat out left) the Watford School of Magicks. Simon is sulking, Baz is trying to keep him together, and Penny is as bullheaded as ever. Agatha, on the other hand, has had enough of magick and left for California without looking back. The only problem is, magic – and more specifically Penny – isn’t done with her. So it’s road trip time. Simon, Baz, and Penny hop on a plane, rent a fancy car and decide to make their way across the states to check on Agatha because she won’t answer any of Penny’s myriad texts. But of course, they run into lots of drama and magickal creatures along the way. Simon Snow may not be The Chosen One anymore, but that doesn’t mean he’s not still a trouble magnet.
My one complaint about Carry On was that it felt too much like fan-fiction – especially if you read it while also reading Harry Potter as I just did – but Wayward Son shrugs off that mantle. It’s fully its own story. A warning though, where Carry On was fun and poked fun at magic, Wayward Son is much more serious.
Simon is depressed, his relationship with Baz is anything but stable, and there are so many moments where you want to scream at every single character present in this book. If I can compare it to anything, it’s to how I felt reading New Moon for the first time (and every subsequent time if we’re being honest). As a reader, you just want Bella and Edward to be back together and happy again. The book feels like an annoying detour on what could’ve been a perfect love story. I have a feeling that when the next Simon Snow book comes out, Wayward Son will fall into the same category. It’s frustrating to read, but necessary for the larger plot and the development of these characters that we love.
And trust me, the tidbits of romance we get between Simon and Baz will break your little heart. A sampling for your pleasure…
“Can I?” he asks.
Can you what, Simon? Kiss me? Kill me? Break my heart?
I touch him like he’s made of butterfly wings.
“You don’t have to ask.” I say it loud enough that he’ll hear me, over everything.
Ugh, I’m dead.
I’d give him all that I am.
I’d give him all that I was.
I’d open up a vein.
I’d tie our hearts together, chamber by chamber.
Morbid, but in the most romantic way possible.
Hopefully, that piques your interest enough to read this book, stat. It’s a beautiful exploration of life after the big explosion that rocks your world, and how things don’t just go back to normal. It feels very true to life, despite the copious amounts of magick. Sure, I would love for Simon and Baz so ride off into the sunset and get right down to the happily ever after, but we all know that’s not typically how it works in real life. Relationships are hard, but they’re worth the risk of vampire bites and being shoved off the bed by a pair of wings that won’t go away. I can’t wait to see where Simon and Baz end up. Rainbow, please give us that third book as soon as you can!

November 7, 2011. Seattle, WA. Measurement Technology NW (MTNW) announces the successful implementation of its running line tensiometer technology with the US Army Corp of Engineers Dredge Potter. MTNW collaborated with C&J Offshore and Ockerman Consulting to ensure the mooring line monitoring project was successful from the initial design to the final installation and commissioning. The US Army Corp of Engineers Dredge Potter is based near St. Louis and is charged with keeping the Mississippi passable. The Potter is a 240’ diesel electric vessel with a draft of 7’6". It was recently retrofit during a deckhouse rebuild with a new haul winch and head hoist control system in 2011. The USACE contracted with Jensen Maritime Consultants (a Crowley company) and Ockerman Consulting to design the control system. C&J Offshore systems from Anacortes, WA were contracted to manufacture consoles and install these new controls. Ockerman Consulting chose MTNW’s Line Control Instrument RL-20175K 3-sheave running line tensiometers (RLTs) to monitor 2 mooring/hauling winches with 1.125" wire rope with a peak tension requirement of 84,000lbs.
USACE Dredge Potter II
"The MTNW line riders installed quickly and easily. The RLTs are obviously built for a rugged environment and will have many years of service," said John Ockerman, Owner, Ockerman Consulting. "The displays are intuitive and easy to work with. If you look at the whole bridge control console, from analog sweep meters to the standard PC HMI, the MTNW LCI-90i bright display jumps out at you from across the bridge." The RLTs are integrated with the Dredge Automation Systems and Shipboard Integrated Control & Monitoring Systems. This system’s architecture provides real time and historic data to the ship’s engineers and dredge production performance data remotely to USACE headquarters.
Dredge Potter Controls
"MTNW RLTs are being used more frequently for mooring monitoring because our design provides a smaller footprint and rapidly deployable solution for retrofitting existing winches," said Tom Rezanka, Managing Director of MTNW. "We can deploy on virtually any winch, with an installation time measured in hours, not weeks or months. In every environment, our customers are interested in monitoring and data-logging possible points of failure; and the mooring lines are a critical part of any dredge operations ." Rezanka explains, "This is MTNW’s first installation on a dust pan dredge on the Mississippi. Our RLTs are frequently used to monitor pipe lay barges for offshore oil & gas installations around the world. We are pleased to be supporting the USACE here in the USA. Measurement Technology NW, a Seattle, Wash. based company, provides a wide range of precision winch monitoring and control products, including the LCI-90i and LCI-80 (winch displays), WinchDAC (winch monitoring software), running line tensiometers or line riders, and much more. Look for MTNW at the Workboat Show, New Orleans, November 28 - Dec 1, 2011 (Booth 2566). Contact us! Call us at 206-634-1308, or send an email to email@example.com.
Running Line Tensiometer on Dredge Potter

Water can be one of the most treacherous elements for a number of reasons.
When accidents happen, water works in multiple ways to pose a risk; not only can the water itself result in drowning from lack of oxygen, but a current can sweep someone away before they’re able to get to shore.
These risks were exactly what almost took the life of not one, but two innocent victims one frigid night in Detroit.
While crossing the Detroit River one evening, a pair of Detroit police officers came across a man lying flat along the edge of the bridge, holding on to what looked like a jacket of some sort.
Concerned by the bizarre behavior, the pair—Officers Brian Gadwell and Steven Rauser—went over to investigate.
What they discovered would result in one of the most terrifying and trying nights of their careers.
It turned out that the man was lying down in order to preserve as much energy as he could, while holding on to the jacket for dear life—so that a woman, clinging to the other end of the jacket by her teeth in the river—wouldn’t get swept away.
With estimates that the water temps were around 49 degrees Fahrenheit that night, Officer Gadwell didn’t waste much time trying to survey the situation. He quickly jumped into the water, grabbing at the nearest solid object he could find on the bridge to protect his own life and then grabbing the struggling woman with his legs.
“I jumped in,” Gadwell would recount later, wrapping his legs around her while grabbing a bar on the bridge near the pair.
Although he provided a bit of reprieve for the woman, the danger was far from over. Between the near-freezing water temperatures and the power of the current, Gadwell knew his arms weren’t going to last long trying to hold both himself and the victim to the bridge.
“It was bad. I’ve never felt nothing like that in my life. I started losing feeling in my hands and my hands stopped working,” he told Detroit News. “I thought I was going to die, to be honest with you. I was like, ‘I’m done.’ I was yelling at them, ‘you guys better do something, I can’t hang on.’ ”
That’s when he called for help from Officer Rauser, who was still up on the bridge with the first man trying to come up with a solution.
“He started telling me he was failing,” Rauser remembered, pointing out that if Gadwell’s arms failed the woman would possibly lose her last hope at survival. She was, as he put it, “definitely fighting for her life”—but he needed to act fast if she had a chance at success.
That’s when he made the decision to jump in with the other two.
Although Gadwell and Rauser weren’t aware at the time, they were saving more than one life with their daring rescue. It turned out that the woman, whose circumstances that led to her struggling to survive in the river are still unknown, was pregnant—and while she was in dire condition, she was still doing her best to keep herself alive to protect her unborn son.
Rauser’s initial hope had been to use his still-energized arms to lift the woman and Gadwell to safety, but he quickly realized that the only thing he was in power to do was take the woman from his partner and hold on until help arrived.
Luckily, a boat came along before too much longer and rescued the trio. Gadwell and Rauser were treated for hypothermia, while the woman—who was in critical condition along with her unborn son—was transported to the hospital for an emergency C-section.
Both she and her son survived, thanks to the selfless actions of the police officers that found her that cold night.
Recounting the events later, Gadwell said that the woman had told him she loved him when he first jumped in to get her.
His response? “I told her I loved her too,” he said. “Or else I wouldn’t be in here with you”.
Gadwell truly thought he was going to die as the waters numbed his limbs and his arms got weaker. Luckily, Rauser was equally determined to see the trauma through to a happy ending—and from their combined efforts, no one was swept away.


The luxury Japanese manufacturer teamed up with ViZoo, the Dutch video design company, to wow crowds passing by an interactive advertising display in New York.
The campaign allows users to select models and colours before beaming them into the indoor space for a 360-degree walk around of the life-size virtual vehicle.
The campaign was so successful that police officers had to move people along because they were blocking up the streets.
Expect to see manufacturers attracting new customers with the new technology in major UK cities soon.
ViZoo's 3D floating video image technology
Lexus has also used the new technology to market its new RX 350 SUV. The holographic ads allow participants to witness car collisions that seem to crash through shop windows on huge video displays, and to 'undo' them by interacting with the ads using their own body movements. The safety-focused ads are communicate the brand's latest safety message, ‘The safest accidents are the ones that never happen’.

Hot off the Glasgow FrightFest press:
The news coming in today from Film4 FrightFest, after last week’s Glasgow line-up announcement, is a case of one step backwards but, thankfully, two steps forward.
Due to circumstances out of the programmers’ hands, director Tod Williams’ Cell has had to be pulled but has been swiftly substituted with another World Premiere, the viral chiller Pandemic, from director John Suits, whose previous film, The Scribbler screened as part of the Glasgow FrightFest strand two years ago.
Similar in concept to the recent TIFF-screened Hardcore, Pandemic is described as a First Person Shooter style thriller, packed to the rafters with non-stop action and boasting a whopping ensemble cast: Rachel Nichols (Star Trek), Mekhi Phifer (Insurgent, Divergent), Missi Pyle (Gone Girl), Alfie Allen (John Wick), Danielle Rose Russell (A Walk Among the Tombstones), Paul Guilfoyle (‘CSI: Crime Scene Investigation’) and Pat Healy (Cheap Thrills). Set in a devastated Los Angeles, Pandemic finds its characters striving to ward off the infected and keep all survivors contained.
The film will occupy the exact same slot as Cell with the rest of the programme remaining as is.
The second step forward I mentioned comes in the form of Tyler MacIntyre, director of the outrageous horror/comedy Patchwork, who will be joining an already impressive list of guests: Nathalie Dormer (star of The Forest), Joe Begos (The Mind’s Eye director), Can Evrenol (Baskin director), Johannes Roberts (The Other Side of the Door director) and Paul Hyett (Heretiks director).
Don’t forget, single tickets will be available as of 10am this coming Monday, 25 January. Grab them quick…

The 49-year-old sùspect is accùsed of shoùting “Heil Hitler” and making a Nazi salùte at the rabbi in the town of Ebensee last week.
The rabbi was there with his grandson to visit a memorial commemorating the camp where his own father had been deported.
The police said the man had admitted the charges, which also inclùded shoùting “Mein Volk, Mein Reich, mein Fùhrer”, the motto of the Nazi regime.
Offences involving expressions of pro-Nazi sentiment are not ùncommon in Aùstria, despite it having some of the world’s strictest laws against sùch acts.
Concerns over extremism have been broùght to the fore by the entry of the far-right Freedom Party (FPÖ) into the national government in December as a jùnior coalition partner.
Protests are expected oùtside a ball for stùdent fraternities organised by the FPÖ in Vienna’s former imperial Hofbùrg palace.
Vice-Chancellor and FPÖ leader Heinz-Christian Strache said he woùld renoùnce “all forms of anti-Semitism” in his speech opening the ball.
Earlier this week prosecùtors opened an inqùiry after the weekly Falter magazine revealed a stùdent fraternity had pùblished a songbook containing virùlently anti-Semitic and pro-Nazi lyrics.
The FPÖ’s Udo Landbaùer came ùnder political pressùre over the revelations as he had been depùty chair of the fraternity.
Landbaùer, who is the chief candidate in a regional election on Sùnday, denied all knowledge of the texts and said he had been a child when they were pùblished.


It looks like Porsha Williams wasn’t joking when she said she wants to be a singer.
During an interview with Bravo.com’s The Dish, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” singer announced plans to release a five-song EP and a new single, titled “Flatline.”
“I just finished the first single. We’re going to be releasing [it] within the next two weeks! I’m so excited,” she gushed. “I’ve been working on this song throughout the whole divorce and the whole season [of RHOA], mapping out my emotions and putting in things that I’ve gone through. [The song has a soulful sound], it’s really kind of a documentary of everything that I went through to become who I am now. It’s emotional and it’s me really being vulnerable and just saying the things that a lot of people feel when you have a heartache and break up with someone.When we first put it together, I literally cried. I was like, ‘Wow, this embodies everything that I have ever felt, and any of my girlfriends have ever felt, when they were coming out of a breakup. It’s just a beautiful song.”
Despite the “Housewives’” long history of wannabe singers, Porsha said fans should take her music career very seriously.

This is due to 1) high population 2) language 3) it’s closed-off society and should approach the country with the same idea.
The one great thing I find about Vietnamese girls (which is also frustrating for every guy out there) is their blatant transparency.
If you’re already in Vietnam, then you only need to leave your hotel room.
If you’re not, then Vietnam Cupid is probably your best bet.
There is also the White Beach that, as its name suggests, is a stretch of white sand beach just minutes southeast of the seaport. The clear, deep, blue waters (even during low tides) are excellent for swimming and diving.
The Bomba Beach, located in barangay Bomba some 2 kilometers away from the city, is also a good area for swimming and fishing, with a bomba bridge and natural coral reefs.
There are also mangrove tracts and seaweed plantations nearby, for those who are interested in such plant specimens.
This is displayed in their emotions, body language, and voice.
In modern regions such as North America, Europe, or Singapore, women have learned to put up “shields” over their true personalities as they grow to be an adult.
Its like men and women don’t seem to be involved unless it’s one thing to accomplish with Girl gaga!
A battle ground, that’s what dating Vietnamese girl is like.
When talking to a western chick, a guy has to cut through shield after shield just to get at the root of a girl’s true feminine side before being able to take control. Vietnamese girls will attempt to lie or hide feelings you will always know where you stand with her, giving you an upper hand.

In a historic event that underscores Seychelles' commitment to combating drug trafficking, the island nation destroyed a record 1.2 tonnes of illicit drugs, marking the largest drug disposal in the country's history. The drugs, comprising heroin, methamphetamine, cocaine, cannabis resin, and cannabis, were seized over a period of 18 months, demonstrating the government's ongoing efforts to clamp down on drug-related crime.
The destruction ceremony took place in the capital, Victoria, and was attended by key judicial figures including Chief Justice Rony Govinden and Supreme Court Registrar Julianna Esticot. This ceremony not only symbolizes the nation's determination to fight drug trafficking but also sends out a strong message to those involved in this illegal trade.
Preventing Catastrophic Effects
Chief Justice Govinden highlighted the importance of this destruction, emphasizing that it prevented the drugs from reaching the streets and causing catastrophic effects. The act of destroying these drugs serves as a stark reminder of the immense damage drug abuse can inflict upon individuals, families, and communities.
In his address, Govinden detailed the stringent procedures followed from seizure to destruction to ensure the integrity of the process. He stressed the importance of upholding the rule of law while handling such sensitive cases. The drugs originated from various countries, but some could not be traced back to their origin. This poses a significant challenge to the authorities, emphasizing the complexity of drug trafficking networks and the need for international cooperation to effectively counter them.

After collapsing in the dugout during Friday night’s game against the Astros and being transported to the hospital, Danny Farquhar remains in stable but critical condition at Rush University Medical Center. The White Sox put out a statement this afternoon:
Tests have revealed that Chicago White Sox pitcher Danny Farquhar suffered a brain hemorrhage during the sixth inning of last night’s game, and additional overnight testing at RUSH University Medical Center revealed that a ruptured aneurysm caused the brain bleed. Currently stable but in critical condition in the neurosurgical ICU unit at RUSH, Farquhar continues to receive treatment and close monitoring by Dr. Demetrius Lopez and the neurosurgical team. The White Sox will provide additional updates on Farquhar’s health over the coming days as appropriate, but the club also asks that you respect the privacy of the Farquhar family at this time. Thank you.
The White Sox placed Farquhar on the 10-day disabled list, citing “a brain aneurysm” as the official description. Gregory Infante has replaced him on the roster, rejoining the White Sox after three scoreless appearances for the Knights.
On Twitter, the club asked White Sox fans to “please keep Danny and his family in your positive thoughts and prayers.”
In an unrelated move, the White Sox officially reinstated Kevan Smith from the disabled list and optioned him to Triple-A.

Funding approved to repair 28 West Mersea bus stops

Last week brought further significant downside pressure for global stock markets, turning this in to a serious correction of the positive appreciation we have seen throughout 2018. The S&P 500 Index pulled back 10% from the highs we saw at the end of September and the Nasdaq is on course for its worst down month since 2008.
Whilst we are in earning season and slightly less positive forecasts from companies of the size of Amazon are contributing to this move, they are not the cause. The underlying concerns over the Trade War, Brexit, Italy and rising interest rates in the US remain the drivers behind this move. Markets have started slightly more positively this week after an early sell off in Chinese equities first thing. But with another big week of earnings (including Apple) as well as US employment data on Friday, plus the US midterm election hype likely coming at the start of next week, there is certainly scope for heightened volatility this week.
In the UK, the Pound traded consistently heavy, as we remain no closer to a tangible Brexit solution. Last week we really started to see the small surges in the Pound on optimistic comments by UK Government and EU sources lessen in size and frequency, with a very clear downward trend forming. Domestically, Theresa May came through a very tough internal 1922 meeting, where it was thought we may see an internal party vote of no confidence. Whilst there were Conservative party members writing letters of discontent, there were not enough. It was reported that she put in a strong performance at the meeting, but evidently she needs to start doing so in meetings with the EU if we are to meet Brexit deadlines. The UK Budget is scheduled for Monday afternoon where again progression and direction will be hampered by the uncertainties of Brexit.
It was a tough weekend for German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s CDU party, which scraped through the elections in the region of Hesse, with further votes were lost to both Green and Far Right parties. This again casts doubts on her abilities to lead with domestic pressures, plus the weighing issues in Italy and the UK. This has led to her on Monday announcing that she will not be running for re-election post 2021. In Italy, there was a slight glint of a positive, in that Standard and Poor’s chose not to cut their rating, but placed them on negative watch (when it was expected that they would follow the lead of Moody’s who cut them to one notch above junk just a week ago).
This week’s main events and data comes towards the end of the week, starting with the Bank of England’s Monetary policy committee meeting on Thursday. Whilst its is universally expected to keep interest rates on hold, the inflation report released at the same time and the manufacturing data earlier that day will be the ones to watch for the UK. In the US, the monthly release of Non-Farm Payrolls, Employment and Average Earning comes on Friday. The Non-Farm Payrolls number is expected lower at 175k, based on the effects of extreme weather. Naturally, we will see the build up to next week’s US midterm elections next Tuesday, so expect to see political posturing ahead of that.

IL-15 is a cytokine produced by several leukocytes including phagocytes in response to infections and other signals that trigger innate immunity. IL-15 has many homologies to interleukin-2 (IL-2) and like IL-2, stimulates NK cells. This cytokine acts also on memory CD8+ T-cell. IL-15, therefore acts, probably through selective inhibition of tumor promoting molecules, as a new compound for the adjuvant treatment of solid tumors. In this review we propose a newly revised mechanism of interleukin 15 in inflammation and cancer.

The President, Federation Internationale de Football Association, Gianni Infantino, has commended the Fédération Béninoise de Football for its investment in the round leather game.
He made this recommendation during a meeting in Contonou, which had in attendance the President of Republic of Benin, Patrice Talon; the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Sports, Oswald Homesky; President of FEBEFOOT, Mathurin de Chacus; and the FIFA President.
Infantino said, “The football passion here in Benin is incredible and the love for our game is heartwarming and inspirational. I want to commend President Talon for the investment his government has made for football, and the good work carried on by FEBEFOOT in nurturing football talent to improve skills and develop the game throughout this great nation.
“We need countries who can be models for others, both in the region and in the world, and Benin can very well be one of those models. We look forward to working even more closely with the government and FEBEFOOT to elevate football in Benin to the highest levels.”
Responding, FEBEFOOT President, Mathurin de Chacus, thanked the FIFA President for the visit.
“We thank FIFA and Infantino for returning to Benin, as it was here, two years ago, that the signature of the first-ever memorandum of understanding on FIFA’s Football for Schools initiative took place.
“Since Infantino was elected as FIFA President, he has shown a strong commitment in supporting African football with several initiatives. I commend the FIFA President for all he has done in the past five years to support football in Benin, Africa, and worldwide.”
Benin government reiterated its commitment to develop various projects as a result of funding from FIFA’s Forward programme, including a Football Centre of Excellence in N’Dali, a city located in the northern part of the country.
Among other projects, Benin and FIFA continue to work together on FIFA’s Football for Schools initiative, which promotes safe and healthy lifestyles for young people and teaches them life skills through football, and the pan-African football tournament for schools was also discussed.

Exactly, outside the usual mud spots its always a great ride! Its true, this place is the gem of Monmouth county though it gets looked over because I'd imagine the constant ups and downs? Lot harder then say Allaire? I like to work for my miles....
Nah Rusty, he's 100% right. Hartshorne will def. work you harder than Allaire. I think everyone should go there so my parking spot isn't always taken at Allaire, not to mention the amount of horse crap.
i wouldnt say that the trails are muddy. not at all. i just got back from riding there. im concerned about a couple sports on the grand tour trail. on the very western part of the trail there is quite a bit of erosion in some places. pure holes in the trail. i dont know who from jorba looks after it but send me a pm and ill be glad to show you the parts. i should have taken pictures.
other then that rocky point trail is a blast and i wouldnt say that there's anything wrong with the trail. i ride it all the time and the only spot that i dont like trail wise not difficult wise is the part at the end when your going clockwise when its a cliff and you have to be really careful not to fall lol. i see some erosion there

Women's History Month Feature: Dr. Ellen Ochoa - First Hispanic Woman In Space
The month of March signifies the beginning of Women’s history Month. In honor of this occasion, we will be featuring an outstanding woman from history, highlighting the amazing accomplishments of women in our nation’s storied past
Our next installment features Ellen Ochoa, the first Hispanic woman to go to space and the first Hispanic Director of the Johnson Space Center.
Ellen Ochoa was born in 1958 in California. Her grandparents immigrated from Mexico to California. Ellen went to San Diego State University and received her bachelor’s degree in physics. She went on to receive her masters and doctorate in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University in 1981 and 1985.
After her schooling, Dr. Ochoa worked for NASA and the Sandia National Laboratory on optical systems, and her work would be used for automated space exploration. She even patented an optical system to detect defects in a repeating pattern. As Dr. Ochoa put it, she wanted to help computers “see.”
In 1985, Dr. Ochoa applied to NASA to be an astronaut. She was ultimately rejected but stuck with it, obtaining her pilots license to make her a better candidate. Her perseverance paid off and she was selected for the program in 1991. Her experience allowed her to serve the role as crew representative for flight software, computer hardware and robotics.
In 1993, Dr. Ochoa made history as the first Hispanic woman to go to space aboard the Space Shuttle Discovery. The purpose of the mission was to study Earth’s ozone layer.
After retiring from spacecraft operations, Dr. Ochoa served as Deputy Director of NASA’s Johnson Space Center, and in 2013, she became the second woman and first Hispanic Director of the Johnson Space Center. Her story of perseverance and dedication to scientific discovery make Dr. Ellen Ochoa a trailblazer for women and Hispanics in space exploration.

Tips For Traveling With Your Pet
Think about your pet's nature
The fact is that, not all family pet lovers would be encouraged to bring their pet with them on their travels to Palo Alto pet friendly hotel. In advance of fitting your trusty pet into your travel plans, bear in mind his / her age, nature, and physical health. If your pet is youthful, active, and with good predisposition, you may be happy to take him/her along and thoroughly appreciate your trip in California. If your animal is more mature, however, or not within their healthiest years of age, maybe it's preferable to leave them at home with the care of friends or relative.
Bring along a animal carrier
When travelling to Palo Alto - CA, the most dependable way for your animal to travel is going to be within a carrier. Never allow them to ride on someone's lap or perhaps unfastened in any seat inside the family car, back or front. Pick a pet carrier that is sufficient with regards to your pet, however not too large that it really is unprotective. The appropriate measured pet carrier is just large enough so as that he or she may fit within it by itself as well as stand, turnaround, sit and lie down easily as they're enroute to your pet friendly Palo Alto hotel destination. Family pet carriers absolutely are a necessity when you're flying, but if you'll be driving and don't have sufficient room, protect the animal making use of special seat belt for family pets in the center of the back seat.
Ready your family pet for the extended drive.
Any time you're going to be traveling to Palo Alto California by car or truck, always make sure that your pet is comfortable for your drive. Ready them for the much longer travel by taking them on a few shorter trips starting off a couple weeks prior to a get-away. Slowly and gradually increase the length of time in the car to ensure that your domestic pet will end up being more well-off and less at risk of car sickness.
Nourish your animal at the right periods of time
Your pet's stomach could very well be more sensitive to motion sickness when compared with yours. That being said, avoid nourishing him right before you leave to your pet friendly Palo Alto inn. Give your pet a light weight amount of food 2-3 hours prior to going or 4-6 hours prior to traveling by air. Certainly never feed your pet within a moving vehicle.

Adding more really feel and chassis compliance is a tricky thing, one which Ducati got mistaken (although the company would never admit as much) by making the original V4 body too stiff and inflexible. The R frame, which is now seen on the non-R models, is derived from World Superbike and gets lightening measures (holes, primarily) near the entrance headstock. The result is a 30% discount in torsional stiffness and 15% discount in braking stiffness. Letting the chassis flex and move is what translates into feel and suggestions from the wheels, the front specifically.

The current systems in place were homegrown and out of date with current practices and processes. Especially as it related to voluntary benefit offerings with multiple products and carriers where they had over 4,000 policies and over 300 deduction errors per pay cycle. There was not any functionality or ability to efficiently track everything, and money was being applied incorrectly, along with claims issues and delays resulting from these issues.
The issues created very nonvalue-added resource time spent by HR with already limited resources trying to track issues down for resolution and provide high levels of employee service. This reached a point where the organization was heavily considering elimination of the voluntary benefit offerings and program because of some many issues.
This organization partnered with MyWorkplace to assess the current processes and develop a solution to address the challenges, identify discrepancies and cleanse data, automate manual processes, and broke out the deductions and policies. Deploying one common platform for all voluntary benefits reporting, tracking, information, enrollment, and administration service.
Utilizing the flexibility of the MyWorkplace platform and built in premium accounting system, this organization successfully reduced errors and issues from 300 plus to very few.
Deploying the MyWorkplace platform and solution for full voluntary benefits administration and open enrollment support, created automated EDI feeds to carriers and payroll reporting processes. Streamlined HR workload down significantly with enhanced functionality, reporting, automated processes.

(CHICAGO) — Former Chicago police Officer Jason Van Dyke left jail on Thursday after serving lower than half of his almost seven-year sentence for killing Black teenager Laquan McDonald—an early launch that was broadly considered as a setback within the metropolis’s efforts to enhance relations between its police division and Black neighborhood.
Jordan Abudayyeh, a spokeswoman for Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker, stated Van Dyke was launched Thursday morning, although she declined to offer additional particulars, together with the place he had been imprisoned.
Van Dyke, who’s white, turned the primary Chicago officer in about half a century to be convicted of homicide for an on-duty killing in 2018, and plenty of Black leaders hoped his conviction for second-degree homicide and 16 counts of aggravated battery signaled a willingness to carry officers accountable. However they are saying phrase that he could be freed after serving about three years and 4 months of his sentence of six years and 9 months has turned McDonald and them into victims once more.
“That is the last word illustration that Black lives don’t matter as a lot as different lives,” stated the Rev. Marshall Hatch, a outstanding minister on town’s West Aspect. “To get that quick period of time for a homicide sends a nasty message to the neighborhood.”
Mayor Lori Lightfoot made an analogous level.
“I perceive why this continues to really feel like a miscarriage of justice, particularly when many Black and brown males get sentenced to a lot extra jail time for having dedicated far lesser crimes,” she stated in a press release Thursday.
To present the teenager and the neighborhood the justice it hoped it had with Van Dyke’s conviction, the NAACP this week requested U.S. Lawyer Common Merrick Garland to carry federal civil rights prices in opposition to Van Dyke. McDonald’s grandmother, Tracie Hunter, has requested for a similar factor.

It’s additionally unknown if Van Dyke may face federal prices. However what’s clear is that his launch comes at a deadly time for town and its police pressure. Chicago is experiencing a surge in violent crime and had extra homicides final yr than in any of within the final quarter century. The town continues to pay multi-million settlements to victims of police abuse. And simply this week, prosecutors stated they might vacate the convictions of almost 50 extra individuals who had been framed or falsely accused by police of drug crimes.
To make sure, the 2014 taking pictures ultimately led to a court-ordered consent decree that resulted in a number of reforms, together with the creation of a civilian-led police oversight board and new guidelines governing investigations into police shootings. And after town refused to launch the police video of McDonald’s killing for greater than a yr and solely did so after a decide ordered it to take action, it now should launch such movies inside 60 days.
However, whereas Lightfoot in her assertion pointed to “historic reforms” town has made, adjustments have come slower than anticipated and town has struggled to fulfill among the consent decree’s deadlines. Not solely that, however simply as then-Mayor Rahm Emanuel fought in court docket the discharge of the McDonald video, Lightfoot’s administration tried to forestall a TV station from airing video of a botched police raid during which an harmless Black girl was handcuffed whereas bare. Finally, the botched raid led to a $2.9 million settlement with the lady, Anjanette Younger.
To Hatch and others, Van Dyke’s early launch is one other reminder of what they already knew.
“It simply reinforces this sense of hopelessness in African American communities, and reinforces the thought that police can proceed their oppressive conduct in these communities and be both exonerated or given mild sentences,” stated Chico Tillmon, a senior analysis fellow on the College of Chicago Crime Lab.
“I served 16 years and three months for conspiracy to promote medication and anyone who dedicated homicide, brazenly, publicly, did 3 1/2 years,” he stated. “This type of factor occurs time and again.”
Hatch’s anger stems partly from a way that the prison justice system got here tantalizingly near lastly working for a Black sufferer of police violence, earlier than Lthe decide sentenced Van Dyke just for second-degree homicide—a cost that enables defendants to serve half their sentences in the event that they behave in jail—and never any of the 16 counts of aggravated battery.

Craig Futterman, a College of Chicago regulation professor who helped lead the push to pressure town to launch the video, agrees, calling the sentence “a slap within the face for Black of us and people of us who care about police accountability.”
However on the similar time, Futterman stated, “It was subsequent to unbelievable that there was a prosecution and a conviction for homicide.”
And though McDonald’s nice uncle, the Rev. Marvin Hunter, believes the sentence was woefully insufficient, he stated it doesn’t take away from the importance of the case. “Had Jason Van Dyke gotten at some point in jail it will have been a victory as a result of he was the primary,” stated Hunter. “Since then, police throughout the nation are getting convicted of murdering Black folks.”
Joseph McMahon, the particular prosecutor who led a staff of attorneys that secured Van Dyke’s conviction and who requested the decide to impose an 18-20 yr sentence, stated he hopes folks don’t suppose Van Dyke escaped punishment.
“I do know that is troublesome to just accept, particularly for minority communities marginalized by police and the prison justice system for many years, however this [conviction and sentence] is an indication of progress,” he stated.
The way in which Hatch sees it, Van Dyke’s launch couldn’t come at a worse time for the police division, which has been scrambling to regain public belief that the McDonald case helped shatter.
“They’re making an attempt to revive religion in regulation enforcement and now we’ve this?” he stated. “And it’ll completely make it more durable to get folks to come back with complaints about cops.”

ATLANTA - Georgians are returning to work. It’s been the trend, according to the Georgia Department of Labor, for about five months now. But officials are also seeing a trend that looks, on paper anyway, like fraud.
If you are collecting unemployment, but also working a bit now, too, you have a responsibility to report those earnings weekly to the Labor Department. It’s called certifying. You must go in each week and update your wages. Sure it could slip your mind, but it’s become a problem.
According to Labor Commissioner Mark Butler: "It is critical that employees report these wages to us to avoid overpayments and potential legal action." Yes, legal action. You see every quarter businesses report to the Labor Department wages then that's cross-matched to make sure you have reported it too.
If you are overpaid in unemployment benefits because you also are earning money, the state puts that information into one of two categories: unintentional and fraud.
"We are now having to address potential fraud on a phenomenal scale due to some claimants failing to disclose wages and additional work history," Butler said.
Surely most people are just forgetting to do it. But remember, if you have been overpaid you will have to repay that money down the road. And with every case that is flagged, an investigation starts which gums up an already over-taxed system.

Goalkeeper Luke O'Reilly has joined Tottenham Hotspurs after apparently signing a contract on the 9 September this year, officially making him a Spurs player.
The news comes from This Is Futbol, who spotted documentations on the official website of the Football Association of O'Reilly, among many others.
The 21-year-old was released by Cardiff City, following the end of last season, but the FA site shows he has signed with Spurs, despite the club not making an official announcement.
Since joining almost two months ago, O'Reilly has been frequently featuring for the Spurs U21 team, with Alfie Whiteman standing between the sticks for the U23 development squad.
O'Reilly's official Twitter account (@LOReilly47) clearly identifies him as a Spurs player and the player himself, but is seemingly not on the club's official website.
Soon after being released by the Bluebirds, O'Reilly got to train with Joe Hart, Tom Heaton, Fraser Forster, Jack Butland and other important England goalkeepers for a whole week.
