Guy Builds A Working Electric Guitar Out Of 36 Ramen Noodle Packs
Just when we thought the internet couldn’t surprise us anymore, we then find a guy who built an electric guitar out of 36 packs of ramen noodles. And yes, it actually works too.
Art Mayer from Copper Guitars in Russia documented the costly and tedious process of creating something delicious to rock out with. He added five liters of polyester resin to the uncooked noodles (plus flavor packets) to turn them into a glass-like structure. We won’t spoil anything else for you, you just have to watch the video below.
It might sound like a gimmick at first but as the project comes together, you realize this guy’s totally serious and committed about making the first, and perhaps the ONLY, ramen noodle guitar. And somehow, he made it look so easy too. However, should you decide to take on a similar challenge, keep in mind that Mayer admitted that he “spent a catastrophic amount of time” and money on this. So, while ramen noodles are generally cheap, the rest aren’t. Plus, it takes some serious skills to build a working axe from scratch like the one he made.
And so the next question on everyone’s minds must be – how does it sound? You just have to watch until the end to find out.


2019 Ford F 250 King Ranch already comes with a little bit of anticipated modifications. We have waited many years for the new styles and here it is! After the last decade of just getting minor updates, Now I am satisfied with this latest product. This is exactly the concept designs which was presented by the public before. It is actually not fully the same, but this is based on requirements. What do you think? The corporation validates that this latest model is produced depending on market request.
Let’s see the model in more detail, we check how the model is definitely more aerodynamic. This could possibly offer some efficiency such as extremely effective gas consumption, improved topspeed and more durable moves. At the same time, I’m pleased this unit has applied the latest design trends. Found from an extra aggressive lighting style and of course it’s completely LED. An extra impressive shape layout with a line of body that flows from the head lights joining to the rear lights. I was also motivated after i saw an unique grill, it looked like it had never ever been before. Even if using the attributes of the older grill shapes, this is really a lot more fantastic. This is firmer and taper, with a touch of honeycomb on each grid. When I saw the back, We were quite amazed by the back lights model. You can forget aged models are viewed, are provided with curved LED lines. It is prefer telling a signal when you are behind it, of course, that is 2019 Ford F 250 King Ranch.
Honestly we hope that there will also be changes to the platform, we can’t wait. The new platform should be able to raise the 2019 Ford F 250 King Ranch spec level. Maybe a lighter weight, wider size, stiffer body and more efficient fuel consumption. But we have not received official verification from the manufacturers regarding this.
2019 Ford F 250 King Ranch changes a few interior details, the most visible is the trim color. Any other changes were also created to the style of the car seats, improving the size of the legroom, the more exclusive trim material. In the infotainment part you may also get a huge LED -panel in the center consul with the all new network. Cabin durability will also be better and provides the new safety system depending on world safety standards.
You can find something important about the 2019 Ford F 250 King Ranch engines. The engine is not completely new even so a few advanced technology has been integrated to be able to raise efficiency, performance and torque. This is quite significant since all this time the power made is standard. People are still waiting for the complete specs of this new engine, because people are curious how efficient this engine works. The fresh gearbox is expected to get an improvement, a more direct transmission ratio to get best acceleration.
Contestants have also begun to use new technology to their latest units. Evidently from 2 or 3 brands have dared to add safety technology and even switch new platforms and machines. Seems like the manufacturers is still satisfied with 2019 Ford F 250 King Ranch to battle in the marketplace next year.
The concern is where can we buy 2019 Ford F 250 King Ranch. What is the price of 2019 Ford F 250 King Ranch when it is started. when 2019 Ford F 250 King Ranch will be started. I hope this car will be presented earlier this coming year or later in the first half of next yr. The best price for this vehicle is not higher priced $ 1000 for the lowest type, not more expensive $ 2000 for regular models and of course not high-priced $ 3000 for the highest version. However the company definitely have worked out it completely based on market costs. So if you believe the old model is time to improve, make sure you prepare yourself to pay money for 2019 Ford F 250 King Ranch.


Heard the one about the frog and the prince? Well, make that a frog and three princes … but this is no fairytale.
Prince William and Prince Harry have joined their dad, Prince Charles in cameo performances in an online video to highlight Charles’s fight to save the rainforests as part of the Prince’s Rainforest Project.
In the 90-second film, which goes live on several Web sites at 1 p.m. EST Tuesday, the young princes are joined by a digitally-created frog and a few real-life stars: Harrison Ford, Daniel Craig, Robin Williams, the Dalai Lama, soccer legend Pele and singer Joss Stone.
In the short clip, William, 26, and Harry, 24, are shown sitting together discussing their fight to save the environment “for all of us,” as they raise awareness of the Prince’s Rainforest Project.
By signing up to the Web site, viewers will not only able to show their support for the cause, according to Prince Charles’s office, but they can also interact with the site, and create their own “mash-up” and appear alongside the frog and celebs, creating a global network of followers demanding action.
While Charles, 60, has long fought for the environment and has stepped up his campaign to save the rainforests around the world in the last 18 months, royal aides call the prince’s latest move “unprecedented” as he draws on the Internet’s power to enlist people around the world.
In a Web cast on the site, Prince Charles says, “Our aim, with your help, is to build an online community to call, from the bottom up, for urgent action to protect the rainforests, without which we will most certainly lose the battle against catastrophic climate change. One of the Internet’s strengths is that it can enable diverse communities to come together to ensure that everybody’s views and actions can really be made to count.
“It provides the potential to create global determination for change on a vitally important issue.”

Have you seen Dr. Mona A Alvi?
A review by a patient that verified they have visited Dr. Mona A Alvi - Posted on January 24th, 2017
My experience with Dr . Alvi has been great . She is very smart , professional and has high moral standards. She takes the time to explain diagnosis, treatment. If you wanna be taken care by the Doctor who cares about you , I'd highly recommend her .

Avoid this Doctor at all cost
Self-verified patient of Dr. Mona A Alvi - Posted on March 30th, 2015
We experienced Dr. Alvi through UBH Denton. She was inarticulate, distracted and seemed to have spent a very minimal amount of time with our son. She mainly just read the notes from the admitting doctor. Avoid Dr. Alvi and UBH at all costs. We tried to get our son released early from UBH, after the counseling sessions were clearly not happening as described (the children spent most of their time in front of of the TV). We were threatened by her and UBH that they would delay the planned release for no reason other than they could or it wasn't convenient for them. No medical justification was given. As many other former patients and families have described, UBH seems more intent on maximizing fees than providing quality care for patients. I wonder if Dr. Alvi receives extra fees for keeping patients at UBH longer??
Reccomend without reservation
A patient who verified they visited Dr. Mona A Alvi - Posted on July 25th, 2014
I read the reviews, then went to appt. I do not understand why ratings so low, Dr Alvi took time to answer all questions, review all material, and all medications. I can only guess that the negative reviews are from patients who did not like what they heard. Dr Alvi, in my experience, is very up to date on latest treatments, questions and verifies all diagnosis not confirmed by herself, spends adequate time to establish trust, and shows great respect to her patients. I can recommend Dr Alvi without any reservations.
She's a Walking HIPAA Violation/Waste of Time
Self-verified patient of Dr. Mona A Alvi - Posted on April 16th, 2014
I was referred to her and had to wait 3 months to see her. So I thought that since I had to wait so long that she must have been a great doctor. This is my first impression of her. She has no bedside manners. She lacks knowledge when it comes to medications (I've been in the Pharmacy business for 18 years). Within seconds of sitting down to start the appointment her cell phone rings and she answered it! Not only is that rude but a true violation of the HIPAA government law. While she was on the phone, I was able to hear everything she said...and I mean everything. I knew the patients full name and date of birth, what medications he was on, which pharmacy he used, what the dosage was etc.... She had no empathy what so ever. Her mentality was "It's my way or the highway". Not to mention she doesn't listen at ALL. I had to repeat myself a dozen times because she didn't listen the first time I spoke. I do not recommend going to her. Don't waste your time and money.
Poor Quality Overall
A patient who verified they visited Dr. Mona A Alvi - Posted on August 20th, 2013
My experience began by being diagnosed with ADHD over five years ago. After relocating to Texas I was told I must have an additional evaluation by a psychiatrist in order to continue the medication I've been taking for over 5 years - I was asked to take and pass several exams by my regular physician before she would prescribe the medication. Here is the rub: after being on the medication again for three months, I was avoided by her and her staff - after leaving messages and attempting to get refills I simply gave up and went through withdraw and back to my ADHD self... my opinion: she doesn't care nor does her staff and they don't really want to deal with you on a personal level - good luck with this doctor.
Receptionist/office manager is lacking in customer service.
Self-verified patient of Dr. Mona A Alvi - Posted on August 16th, 2013
She is all about the money!!!
Self-verified patient of Dr. Mona A Alvi - Posted on August 5th, 2013
My daughter needed help with her medication. Dr. Alvi spent all of 10 minutes in two days time, and express no interest in helping my daughter. There was no interview. There was no explanation regarding treatment or new medication recommendations. It wasn't until we threaten to pull my daughter from this program did Dr. Alvi take the time to finally call to discuss her findings. Dr. Alvi was not interested in helping or treating my daughter. She was all about keeping my daughter in a program that was funded by insurance. I strongly feel that Dr. Alvi has no compassion or interested in helping her adolescent patients. She has become so jaded that she has no desire to believe in her patients when they tell her the truth. My daughter told her several times she does not do drugs. Two drug tests came back negative, but yet she still sent her to drug counseling. Again a waste of time and money, on our part. We put our faith into a Doctor who has no desire to help teens who truly need help. Please think twice before trusting Dr. Mona Alvi. or any of the facilities that use her as a therapist.
A patient who verified they visited Dr. Mona A Alvi - Posted on June 6th, 2013
Dr. Alvi rushed us through our appointment speaking very fast. She did not state her recommendation for treatment clearly and then accused us of not following her directions and took legal action. She did not use her resources to make her "unclear" recommendation; she should have consulted with our child's therapist before making any assumptions. I will not recommend her to anyone.

Hamad International is Qatar’s new airport, opened in 2014 next to the city of Doha and the glittering Arabian Gulf. Home to five-star airline Qatar Airways, our architecturally stunning, supremely efficient and truly welcoming airport is a genuine gateway to the world, serving over 360,000 flights and 30 million passengers every year. Our aim is simple.
To provide you with a world-class airport experience. We redefine what passengers can expect from an airport. Qualities such as comfort and ease; facilities such as check-in and entertainment; aspects such as culture and elegance – we want to surprise and delight you at every turn. That’s why our airport is an architectural masterpiece where innovation and beauty combine.
Why our systems are efficient yet simple, and our service thoughtful and generous. In all these we’re proud to represent our nation. Qatar embodies opportunity, ambition, inspiration – and a new era for society. Hamad International Airport is at the forefront of this vision. We are, therefore, a gateway to the world in more than one sense. Located exactly where east meets west we can connect you to countless cities around the globe – swiftly, smoothly and seamlessly. But we can also connect you to a new way of travelling, to a new kind of airport experience. Welcome world. – See more at: http://dohahamadairport.com/about-us/our-airport#sthash.38lmUnIS.dpuf
As Qatar has grown so has its airline – and demand at its airport. Ten years ago just over 5 million people a year passed through. Now that’s closer to 25 million and likely to continue rising rapidly. Even with frequent expansion and refurbishment it has long been evident that Doha International Airport couldn’t be the answer the nation needed.
This is also because Qatar has a spirit of not just delivering but of exceeding. While a new airport with more capacity was the obvious answer it wasn’t the chosen one. Instead a plan was created for a new airport that could do more: that could define the future.

A website speaks a lot about the business, values, and power. A frail and dull design can harm the reputation of your business. That’s why it’s better to have the best or nothing!
In the previous blog, we shared the tips from top web designers that you must implement on your to improve the customer experience. In contrast to those generalized ideas, here we will concentrate only on the ecommerce businesses.
Ecommerce websites have a huge count of product categories, and they are very dynamic. The availability of so many products makes it almost impossible to add everything on the homepage of your website. Your home page needs to create excitement amongst visitors to explore more and become your customer.
Well, the saying is pretty easy than actually doing it.
Don’t worry; we will help you with some astonishing ideas that you can deploy at your ecommerce store. This can have a significant impact on the CRO of your business.
When it comes to ecommerce, “the look of the product” is the sellable property. So, here we will be talking about all how you can transform your website to its visually appealing counterpart.
You must be following all the ecommerce standards, creating engaging product detail pages and marketing with the campaigns to bring in conversion. But, above all you have to bring in quality traffic and more crucial is to make them stay in your store.
Visual cues can make it happen, let us discuss more of them.
What are the visual cues?
The elements on the web page, which are capable of directing the visitor’s attention visually to the action you want them to take are referred to as visual cues. Visual cues are often referred to as directional cues.
These cues can be directed to CTA, contact forms, product page or category page.
What is the need for visual cues?
As we have already mentioned, for an ecommerce business, looks matters!
We, humans, are visually oriented. Naturally, visual hierarchy plays a vital role in the nature of scanning the content. Visual cues play with the scanning psychology of our brains and draw the attention of visitors towards the CTAs.
The parallax websites are created with the same notion in mind. When a user gets some interactive element on the site, they can’t do anything but at least play around with it through it’s least possible to add a parallax theme for your ecommerce store, as they are heavy. You can always try the CSS tricks basic animations to make elements of your site engaging.
Here’s the list of visual cues that you can try for your ecommerce store:
Suggestive and explicit visual cues
Based on the type of approach, visual cues can be explicit and suggestive. The explicit cues like arrows, lines directly indicate towards the end goal. It’s a direct approach, and there is no guesswork involved. Explicit visuals are easier to understand. Thus, they often gain more attention than suggestive ones.
On the contrary note, suggestive visual cues need understanding about their utility. They are surely capable of delivering much deeper messages. The explicit approach can be good for conversion, and suggestiveness can do much better at sharing the emotion or adding a message of your brand. Taskworld has used the suggestive idea to deliver the message of connecting remote workers as a team.
Take colour contrast
Ecommerce businesses play with colours more than often. Don’t you put that white background to give a clear look of all the products and a dark background for light coloured products?
Of course, you do that! The primary reason behind is contrast colours amplify the look of the product. With an understanding of colour philosophy, it is really easy to trigger customer action. During web page design, you can add a contrast colour section for your banners and category pages.
Like, Amazon uses dark blue on the header section, light colour for banners, and varying colour schemes for category pages.
One shoe doesn’t fit all the sizes. Likewise, Amazon has different product imaging requirements for different product categories. Before working on the product detail pages, you can refer to its imaging guidelines. It can be a lot helpful in walking with the standards and improving the quality of the product detail pages.
Frame your content
The frame or boundary of the content is also capable of drawing the user’s attention. Let’s consider, you have all the product categories listed on the homepage of your store, but you want to bring the focus of your customers on the product category that you have recently launched. Here are a few ideas that you can try:
- Play with the colour philosophy: Set the background colour for all of your existing categories white, and give some dark background for the newly launched category. Out of curiosity, visitors will be driven towards your new category.
- Add the frame: You can add a thick frame near your new category. The encapsulation will change the approach of the visitor towards the displayed content.
- Make it interactive: In addition to all the above things, you can tweak the CSS and add animation. The change can be as small as the arrival of the frame on hovering, or change of background colour, display of carousel images of the products of that category or anything else.
This is just a simple use-case, and there can be several such instances. Also, there are different designing philosophies of different designers; you can read and follow the ones that suit you best.
Count on the negative space
Your website is like the canvas, but, that doesn’t mean that you have to paint it fully. You have to leave the borders as well as the white or light space that can make it easier for others to understand your picturization.
Empty space of your site, which is not occupied with the content or any media element, is referred to as the negative space of the website. This space of the website is dedicated to separate the clutter and draw the attention of the user towards the action-oriented sections. Wherever you add CTAs remember to make the nearby sections as spacious as possible.
Recently, minimalism is making its edge in the market. The reason behind inclination towards the plainer and simpler design is, delivering your message turns easier with less clutter.
How can I know the performance of visual cues?
These are the handful of visual cues that you may like to test on your store. Some of them will outperform the other. You can make the list of ideas that can be fruitful for your business niche.
The visual data representation tools like heatmaps can help you gain an understanding of the type of visual cues that are helping you grab the user’s attention. You can try A/B testing and get the best ideas that are performing well.
If you want to add all the functionalities of your choice to your store, you must look for custom website design services for professional help. Learning and implementing takes time, and you can’t risk your online business with your trials. Your single mistake in implementation can open the doors for hackers to add some phishing links and take a toll on your data. So, we recommend you do not leave any loophole.
Provided that you already own an ecommerce store and are looking for web designers, you can write to us at email@example.com.

This week in tax: Ireland sees corporate tax revenue surge
The Irish government has seen corporate tax revenue rise after it signed up to the OECD’s two-pillar framework, including the plan for a global minimum corporate tax rate.
Irish Revenue has reported a €2 billion ($2.3 billion) increase in corporate tax revenue taking the total corporate tax receipts to €9.5 billion. Overall, the Irish government has seen tax receipts increase by 20% since last year.
“Corporation tax receipts in October were higher than expected, once again illustrating the inherent unpredictability and volatility of this revenue stream,” said Paschal Donohoe, Ireland’s finance minister.
“Despite the further clarity that now exists with international tax reform, there is still a high level of uncertainty in relation to its impact on Ireland,” he said.
The Department of Finance has attributed the sudden jump in revenue to unscheduled payments by pharmaceutical companies. These payments include a €297 million settlement from drug company Perrigo as part of its €1.6 billion tax bill.
The majority of tax revenue came from personal income tax and VAT, where there was strong growth in reflection of rising employment and higher consumer demand. VAT raised €12.6 billion, whereas income tax generated €20.6 billion.
This puts the Irish government on course for a record-breaking increase in tax revenue. Nevertheless, the Irish government is unlikely to splurge given it expects to increase the corporate tax rate in the near future.
“The best form of defence against any negative impact is to have strong and stable public finances,” Mr Donohoe said.
As a well-known low-tax jurisdiction, Ireland was originally one of the most prominent hold-out nations in Europe. However, the Irish government decided to sign up to 15% after the European Commission gave it assurances that the final rate would not continue to rise.
This move helped tip the balance in favour of the OECD-brokered deal. Ireland may be better placed to raise taxes in the long-term, but the government will be looking to make sure the country stays competitive somehow.
G20 endorses a global minimum tax, but falls short on climate change
Leaders at the G20 Summit in Rome formally backed a 15% global minimum tax, arguably the only concrete outcome from the summit alongside weak discussions on climate change and debt relief.
The G20 endorsed the OECD Inclusive Framework’s (IF) two-pillar proposal of a 15% global minimum tax rate and a redistribution of 25% of the largest companies’ residual profits to market jurisdictions.
The US Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen said: “Every G20 head of state endorsed a historic agreement on new international tax rules, including a global minimum tax that will end the damaging race to the bottom on corporate taxation."
The deal also includes tax credits for companies facing digital services taxes (DSTs) in advance of the pillar one implementation. This was a requirement from the US to agree to the framework for reallocating residual profit under pillar one.
The agreement to introduce a floor on tax competition and a system to redistribute corporate profits across more than 130 countries is significant. Yet several stakeholders said the solution disadvantages around 70 other countries outside the IF, as well as some developing countries within the IF too.
Transfer pricing problems continue as the LIBOR deadline approaches
Transfer pricing (TP) directors must ensure internal contracts reflect external ones and amend any file used to justify the firm’s application of arm’s length pricing when moving away from the London interbank offered rate (LIBOR).
The transition from LIBOR continues to be a significant hurdle for many companies. TP directors must ensure that their companies are transitioning the same way with their external and internal counterparts. This is yet another difficulty for TP directors, but they also have to make sure that the documentation supports the rates they use
As the December 31 deadline approaches, businesses will have no choice but to amend their TP or could risk facing some unpleasant surprises in 2022.
“The concept of TP is not threatened by benchmark because the differences are quite tight – you’ve got the adjustment spreads. If you simply apply them, then you’re backed from a documentary point of view. Then, when you look at figures, the differences are very small,” said Edouard Nguyen, partner at Kleber Advisory.
“However, you need to make sure you are still in back-to-back and not transitioning on one side and not the other,” he added.
While the move from LIBOR to risk-free-rates (RFRs) might not seem a significant business risk, transitioning away from the benchmark implies more than an easy swap. Corporations will need to ensure their internal contracts mirror external ones and files match the arm’s length requirements.
Next week in ITR
ITR is following the tax policy developments at the COP26 with a close eye. One key area is carbon taxation and how the impact of such levies can have implications for transfer pricing by forcing changes to inter-company transactions.
The tax profession is changing given the demands of environmental sustainability. Readers can expect an in-depth look at hiring trends since tax departments have a crucial role to play in promoting sustainability in businesses.
At the same time, the OECD’s two-pillar plans are set to become a reality. National governments around the world are preparing their budgets and getting ready to adapt their tax systems to a global minimum corporate rate.

“He was awakened by a showering of snow in his face. The door of the hut had been forced open; and, by the snow-light (yuki-akari), he saw a woman in the room,— a woman all in white.”
Horror is universal, but ghost stories don’t always have the same cultural context. In Britain, ghost stories are usually reserved for the winter months: for Halloween, as summer dies and gives way to winter; or at Christmas, when the night is darkest, and the whole world seems filled with a neverending chill. But in Japan, ghost stories are associated with summer: they are told at twilight on warm nights, to cool the blood. According to Shinto belief, humanity shares the world with a myriad of gods, spirits and mysterious creatures: and if we wander too far, or speak to the wrong person at sunset, we may not come back the same.
Lafcadio Hearn was one of the first writers to bring Japanese folklore to a broader Western audience. Hearn’s life is fascinating in itself: a Graeco-Irish journalist who immigrated to New Orleans (he wrote an obituary for Marie Laveau) and later settled in Japan and wrote many books about his adopted homeland. His work has been adapted several times for TV, film and anime, and Kwaidan: Stories and Studies of Strange Things is perhaps his most enduring work.
Ostensibly, Kwaidan is a collection of ghost stories and folk tales that Hearn collected, translated or heard from others, though it’s possible that he created or at least embellished some of the stories himself. The tales serve as bite-sized tastes of Japan’s folkloric fringe: they include yuki-onna, the snow woman, who preys on travellers lost in a blizzard. Then there’s Hoichi the Earless, the minstrel doomed to play for a band of ghostly samurai. And it includes the tale of Akinosuke, who dreams a whole new life for himself, only to see it disappear when he awakens. There’s also an entire appendix devoted to Hearn’s fascination with entomology if you want to read about why ants are better than people.
Kwaidan is a strange book, written by a strange man, about strange things. It’s written in the direct, matter-of-fact tones of fairy tales the world over, with little of the concern for characterisation or mood one might see in “real” horror, but the simplicity of Hearn’s prose allows the reader to put together the pieces for themselves as they imagine the strange creatures within. The stories work best when they are read allowed as they were intended: as the sun goes down and the light begins to change, and you long for a chill to run down your spine…
Read Kwaidan here


Once the car is warmed up it starts to missfire and a grinding noise starts, have just had the water pump exchanged, changed an o ring in the distributar and had a new power steering pump installed. It is worse going up hills. I am a single parent and dont have the money for a mechanic so any help would be gratefull.
have the same problem?

In 2013, Sand Point residents became increasingly alarmed when a suspected drug dealer kept showing up in town. Whenever the angular stranger disembarked from a plane, young people started getting high on drugs.
In a small town in the Aleutian Islands, locals take note of such things. They observe small changes in the weather. And they know when kids are getting high.
Sand Point took charge, and a group of burly locals went to the airport, confronted the man as he entered the terminal and sent him back to Anchorage.
It could have gone very wrong. Mobs showing up at airports to block an arriving passenger is problematic in a republic that prides itself the rule of law.
But on the frontier, there is no law enforcement. The local decision, imperfect as it is, may be the only way to ensure safety.
Last week, the village of Allakaket took charge of its community when suspected meth dealers started showing up: They sent four people packing to Fairbanks.
No, there was not an arrest warrant, nor file of evidence. But the village council convened, discussed the problem, shared stories, heard from others, wept a bit, and finally took action.
PJ Simon, chief of the federally recognized Allakaket tribe, held the emergency meeting at the tribal office. About 25 people were reported to have attended — nearly one quarter of the village that lies on the south bank of the Koyukuk River, 190 miles northwest of Fairbanks.
Allakaket, largely Athabaskan, is still a dry village — it doesn’t allow alcohol in. People live by hunting and fishing, and collecting various checks from the government, their Native corporations, and the Alaska Permanent Fund dividend. There’s not much of a cash economy. In the last census, there were but 41 households in the village, and most of the inhabitants are related.
Chief Simon said he believed the newcomers had arrived in advance of Alaska Native Village Corporation shareholder dividends being distributed. The calendar of check distributions is something that wiley drug dealers take note of in Alaska. Last year, the K’oyitl’ots’ina Ltd. dividends were distributed in March.
In a place like Allakaket, four armed drug dealers stick out, but banishing them is also traumatic, due to the close familial relationships. In this case, two of the banished were residents of Allakaket, while two were not. One of the banished was given a lifetime banishment sentence.
The trend of dumping undesirables is a form of frontier justice that is an old-school Alaska way of cleaning up a community.
Villages like Allakaket are not practical locations for Alaska State Troopers. There is little housing, and outsiders are generally not welcomed. Even teachers posted in villages never stay long; some don’t even make it through a school year.
Although the village had a public safety officer in 2014, it’s without one now. Absent an officer, the solution appears to be the village tribal council.
MEANWHILE, IN NUNAM IQUA
Last year, 22-year-old Derek Adams was banished from his Yup-ik village of Nunam Iqua, after he had set a fire at a home a few years earlier. It resulted in the deaths of three people, including a child. In addition to banishment, he was sentenced to time served and put on parole.
Adams was also banned from Alakanuk and Emmonak before being arrested in Bethel for carrying large amounts of cash and what appeared to be heroin. He later tested positive for THC (marijuana) and opiates and was booked in September. A reopened hearing on his latest drug case is set for March 8 in Bethel.
While Nunam Iqua’s elders are likely feeling that they made the right decision, the Adams case is an example of how banishment from one village can result in banishment becoming a chain reaction, where communities pre-emptively prevent someone from entering a place where justice systems are not up to the task of dealing with them. The other villages that banished Adams didn’t want to be a dumping ground for Nunam Iqua’s bad boy.
Banishment is a loose method of frontier justice outside of the law, generally a result of either no law enforcement presence or dissatisfaction with local lawmen.
In the wild West, frontier justice meant tar-and-feathering, gun duels, lynching, and putting people on a train out of town with the warning, “Don’t ever let us catch you in these parts again.” There wasn’t a lot of due process involved. Everything was left up to the judgment of the mob.
Today’s frontier justice in village Alaska is simple, non-violent, but has never faced a true court challenge: They put you on a plane and send you and your problems to the nearest city that has law enforcement. With villages too tiny to police, this appears to be the only way for locals to nip the drug epidemic in the bud.
In 2003, an Anchorage Superior Court judge upheld the right of the village of Perryville to eject a resident who had a history of alcohol-fueled violence. But that’s as far as the challenge went.
It’s not best-practice justice, but it’s the only solution that locals have the ability to enforce in places where there are no police, no courts, no bail bondsmen, and no jails.
Someday, the practice of banishment will run up against a legal challenge that might come from someone who convinces the American Civil Liberties Union to take his or her case.
But until then, banishment is a curious Alaska anachronism, a little bit wild West, and a little bit Native justice. The state’s legal system looks the other way and hopes for the best.

Two professors, a retired Army colonel and a co-operative society have been identified as leading victims among others who fell for a ponzi scheme that has so for raked in N1,286,580,656.
The policy on Monday arraigned operator of the Ponzi scheme , Michael Diongoli, before a Federal High Court in Lagos State for allegedly defrauding his victoms.
Diongoli is facing eight counts of conspiracy, obtaining by false pretences and fraud.
The defendant was arraigned alongside his two firms, UK-Don Group and UK-Dion Investment Limited before Justice Lewis-Allagoa.
He was accused of defrauding his victims, under false pretence of multiple returns on investment within the period of six months to one year.
The prosecutor, Mrs Susan Ezema, a Chief Superintendent of Police, told the court that the defendants allegedly committed the offences betweeen December 2021 and April 2022.
Ezema said the offences contravened sections 8 (a), 1(1) (a) of the Advance Fee Fraud and other Fraud Related to Offences Act 2006 and punishable under Section 1 (3) of the same Act.
However, the defendant pleaded not guilty to the charges against him.
Subsequent to his plea, his counsel, Mr Olalekan Ojo (SAN), informed the court that his client’s bail application had been filed and served on the prosecutor.
In her response to the application, Ezema told the court that although the defence lawyer informed her that the bail summons had been served on the prosecution, she had yet to receive it.
She therefore urged the court for a short adjournment so she could get a copy of the bail summons and see if she could file a counter.
Consequently, Justice Allagoa ordered that the defendant be remanded in the Force CID’s custody and adjourned the matter till Tuesday for hearing of the bail application.

By 1928, a third of black school children in the rural south were taught in Rosenwald Schools. Those were small two-room schools built to educate African-Americans. There were more than 300 in Virginia alone.
One of those very schools, and the community that supported it, will be honored in Lynchburg this weekend.
Cynthia Gaines’ cousin grew up in Lynchburg in the 1930’s and went to the Megginson Rosenwald School.
“It was a two-room elementary school. They had two teachers. On one side it was first through third,” says Gaines. “And then on the other side I believe it was 4 through 7.”
Gaines has worked to uncover the history of this school for the past year, and this weekend her work will be rewarded when the school is granted a historical marker.
In recent years, Virginia has made a concerted effort to honor the history of these schools. Julius Rosenwald was a wealthy philanthropist. He worked with Booker T. Washington to fund, build and staff the schools.
But it was each individual community that kept them running, says Gaines. Like in Lynchburg, where a local man donated two acres of land. And Gaines’ own grandfather drove the bus.
“Campbell County was not going to provide transportation for these children,” she says.
Justin Sarafin is with Preservation Virginia. He’s been working to document and memorialize Virginia’s Rosenwald Schools.
“One of these schools on the landscape is to me, more powerful, and the perfect sort of counterpoint to - say- a contentious, Confederate, wanna-be Confederate monument if you will,” says Sarafin.
By the end of the year, Preservation Virginia hopes to have data on how many of the schools still stand. A launching off point, Sarafin says, in advocating for their preservation.

Play Online Baccarat at Spin Palace2017-08-15 09:49:24
Why Should I Play Online Baccarat?
Online Baccarat is a rarity in that it is one of the only current crop of digital casino table games that allows you to bet on all possible card outcomes. This makes it a fun as well as a profitable game to play for beginners as well as experienced and professional players alike.
How Do I Play Online Baccarat?
When playing Baccarat you’ll have the option to bet on either the "Player," the "Banker" or on even the possibility of a "Tie" between the two parties. It should be noted however that the terms "Player" and "Banker" do not at any time refer to the house and an actual player, allowing you to wager on either to win.
The game of Baccarat is based on a system of card scoring and the winning hand is simply the one with the highest score – 9 is the highest possible score combination of cards. To calculate a Baccarat hand you’ll need to follow the following individual card values:
- Number Cards 1-9: These have their face value
- Face cards (Jack, Queen, King): These have a value of zero
Baccarat Modulo Rule
A very important note on the game is that all final Baccarat hands with a value of more than 10 are subject to modulo or the remainder of 10 rule. To explain how this works, Spin Palace have provided you with an example below:
“A Baccarat hand of 5 + A = 6, but a hand of 4 + 6 = 0 under the accepted modulo rule of 10. This zero hand is the lowest one possible and is, in fact, the hand that gives the game its name of Baccarat. For your convenience and ease of play, all Baccarat hands are automatically scored in-play by our software as each card is dealt. This makes it exceptionally easy for you to follow the action. Because of this Baccarat practise playing and quick scoring should become second nature to all baccarat players in our Microgaming powered software.”
Online Baccarat Pay-Outs
All winning Online Baccarat hands pay out at a 2:1 ratio, except of course for a bet on a Tie which will pay out at an odds ratio of 8:1.
Baccarat is an online casino game that offers players one of the lowest House advantages. This means that you stand the chance of winning mega rewards. In fact, Spin Palace are so convinced that you will enjoy this game that they suggest that you give Baccarat a go in a free to play practise casino before enjoying real casino play. This way you can experience the fun and excitement of this classic card game without spending any of your own money, and perhaps gaining you some further experience before playing the real thing at Spin Palace.

Submissions have begun this morning in the judicial
review of a coroner's finding following an inquest into the
death of Iraena Asher at an Auckland beach.
After an inquest in July last year, Coroner Peter Ryan ruled
the 25-year-old most likely drowned at Piha in 2004.
But Piha couple Bobbie Carroll and Julia Woodhouse were also
criticised in his finding for not calling police that night
after taking a distraught Ms Asher in and Coroner Ryan ruled
that while Ms Asher's death was accidental, they contributed
to her death.
The couple are challenging that ruling in the High Court at
Their lawyer, Garth Gallaway, this morning outlined why he
believed the comments were unfair towards the couple.
He also claimed that due process was not followed before the
critical decision, meaning the couple were not given an
opportunity to instruct their own lawyer and rebut adverse
comments about them in court.
The hearing before Justice Helen Winkelmann continues.
Ms Woodhouse and her son Henry were driving home when they
found Ms Asher wandering in her underwear, scared and
confused. They took her to their home and, with Ms Carroll,
spent four hours comforting her.
They said they twice discussed calling the police. Each time
Ms Asher became agitated and begged them not to; she said she
had called the police already but they were not interested.
The couple considered their options and decided that keeping
the young woman safe and warm inside was better than having
her bolt into the cold stormy night - which they thought was
bound to happen if they called 111.

Not long ago, the food scientists at Taco Bell proclaimed themselves lords over the natural order of the universe, with their chalupa that swapped the traditional tortilla for an entire piece of breaded fried chicken filled with lettuce. Now, the fast food giant is taking exotic taco shells one step further, with a breakfast taco that uses a fried egg (yolk and all) for a shell.
In defiance of God himself, Taco Bell will begin testing their new “Naked Breakfast Taco” in Flint, Michigan on April 18th. The egg-wrapped breakfast taco will be filled with “potato bites, nacho cheese, shredded cheddar, and bacon or sausage crumble,” and will cost $1.99.
For those with an aversion to handling fried eggs with their bare hands, Taco Bell will also offer a “dressed” version of the new breakfast taco, which sees the entire sordid affair wrapped in a piece of warm Gordita flatbread.
“We think it will pique people’s curiosity,” said Missy Nelson, Taco Bell’s product developer, in an interview with Business Insider. “People are going to be really passionate one way or another about it. I think once you taste it, you’re going to want it again.”
The “Naked Breakfast Taco” is currently only set to be tested in Flint, but if the response is favorable (at least, more favorable than the company’s fried chicken foray into the world of weird taco shells, which vanished nearly as quickly as it appeared), the taco might end up being available nationwide.

I coined the word BestPossible to name a superlative beacon for all occasions, all endeavors,…
If there was a sure way to make the rest of our years the best they could be, who would not choose to go that way? Good news! There is such a way, and it is actually nature’s intended path for all humanity. Because we are born with only one life to live, BestPossible living makes good sense, and it’s not as hard as it may seem. Living in harmony with nature and going with the flow of nature means enjoying paths of least resistance.
By definition you can be your BestPossible self. BestPossible living is not as unusual or rare as you may assume. Nature equips us to live BestPossible lives, but our freewill calls for us to live this way by choice.
We are all artists and our own masterpieces. Through our thoughts, choices, and actions, we continually reshape who we are and will be. But our freewill lets us do makeovers any time along our life journeys. With solid foundations in reality and the meaning of truth, we will each have a moral compass that will guide our artwork as we create wholesome lives and relationships.
The outcomes of our many endeavors and journeys through time are not predestined; they are all the results of our freewill choices and actions. We can make them whatever we choose. Our lives are not events with predestined outcomes. Rather, they are lifelong series of endeavors and relationships subject to our freewill and choices. Their outcomes are largely up to each of us. When you deliberately choose to define and make BestPossible your goal, you take control of your destiny.
Liberation comes mainly from our creativity. Traditional practices confine us to traditional results. New thinking and ideas liberate us to achieve more rewarding and exciting results. The way to make steady progress is to deliberately and systematically make our BestPossibles better. A key feature of BestPossible is that it is time dependent: it changes with time. It depends on current circumstances, which are subject to nature and self-initiated change. Consequently, as we work to define and go for the best we can be, we should enjoy knowing that even as we act, we are stretching our horizons. When setting off for destination BestPossible, you will be creating personal excitement, enthusiasm, and confidence that work to enable accelerated success and a continual process of making your BestPossible better.
Mother Nature means for our lives to be wonderful and exciting and it is up to each of us to make them so. To keep wonder and excitement alive, we must move toward brightness in all that we do.

The state’s railroad commissioner backs off on remarks he made, about potential budget cuts. Commissioner Roger Breske said his agency would be reduced to a “dog and pony show,” if required to make a ten percent cut as called for by the Doyle administration. “The dog and pony show stuff . . . really, truthfully, I really don’t mean that,” said Breske.
Breske, who was appointed by the governor earlier this year, now says his agency will do their best. ” OCR is a very small office, we only have five full time staff,” said Breske. “However, we will do whatever we can to come up with a solution . . . and I look forward to working with DOA (Department of Administration) budget staff to identify as many efficiencies as possible.”
The former state Senator also says the state railroads — and not taxpayer generated revenues — are footing the bill for the office. “OCR is program revenue, it’s not funded by general purpose revenue,” Breske said. “The railroads completely support what I and my staff do. We do a lot of work, everything is for public safety. It would put people at a lot of risk if (OCR) people weren’t out there inspecting crossings.”

The manufacture of these multi-layer Nano-Structured Energetic Particles using a cost effective, flexible, controllable, scalable and green technology led to development of a novel micro-encapsulation technique that involved a circulating supercritical fluidized bed. The technique was demonstrated by microencapsulation of AN by HTPB.
Supercritical fluids provide a unique processing medium for high volume micron and nano-scale manufacture due to tunable solvation and favorable transport properties, resulting in defect-free nano-scale thin-film formation with minimal surface roughness.
Supercritical Fluids have been used in energetic materials development, comminution, and re-processing for over three decades. A judicious use of supercritical fluid aided materials processing techniques allow tailored manufacture of particles with desired particle size, particle size distributions, layer-by-layer particle structuring, efficient compounding of formulations, and precise component ratios. Compounding of the various layers in an N-SEP can be performed, allowing the intimate mixtures of components such as single or mixed oxidizers, with burn rate modifiers, and ingredients
for reduction and elimination of combustion instabilities.

Some of the most important crypto.games to avoid

Bring an Italian feel to you bathroom design
Italy is a country of decadence, love, vibrancy and warmth and these are the characteristics which should play up in an Italian bathroom design. Italy has always been known for its artistic excellence, its finely tuned taste of sophistication and its love for art, culture and life in general. Italians have, over the centuries, mastered the art of adding beauty to their lives without going overboard with it. They make decadence look suave, and they manage to prevent it from looking forced or glaring in any way. Their style is echoed in their architecture and their interior designs, and an Italian bathroom design is the right way to go, in order to celebrate their brilliant, vibrant, sonorous culture.
Any bathroom which is inspired by Italian interiors must have adequate space in them. Spacious living is something which the Italians are known for, and the space provides the bathroom with an airy, relaxing feeling. The space, instead of looking barren and alienating, however, is made to look vibrant, warm and welcoming, and a bathroom which looks like that must be a delight to walk into, at any hour of the day or night! Italian interiors are also pronounced for their use of rich colours and hues. For the best kind of Italian bathroom design, using warm shades of red, rust, golden, yellow, beige and brown are good ideas. These colours reflect the Italian colour palate very closely.
While deciding on the walls and floors of an Italian bathroom design, it is safe to play with textures, which add more character to the room. However, these textures too, must reflect Italian culture and style in some way or the other. In keeping with the Italian characteristics, the floors can be tiled with natural stone tiles. These have their own texture, and natural stone is something which is used quite often in Italian interiors. Marble is also a very good option, and it adds a lot of sophistication to the bathroom. The Italian bathroom design can also include hardwood floors, although they are harder to maintain. Textures can be added to the walls as well, and apart from plaster, using terra cotta is also a very good idea for an Italian-inspired bathroom. Stucco walls are also advisable.
An Italian bathroom design is miles away in character from a steel and chrome modern day design. Using ornate brass fittings around the bathroom for door knobs, shower fittings and taps is a very good idea, since it is sophisticated and it comes with an old-world charm too. Since arches seem to be a distinctive feature of Italian architecture, adding an arch to the shower area might be a very innovative idea, and might help make the bathroom look very unique from the other, more ordinary ones.
Other ornamental touches can also be added in the form of wrought iron fittings. Installing a small fountain may feel a little too luxurious, but it adds a very distinct feel to the bathroom. The Italian influence will be established without a doubt. Throwing in a few pieces of pottery also helps. A big pot can help become the base of a small table to keep toiletries on. These small but significant additions will definitely add more value to the Italian bathroom design.

Going to work should not be scary, but for many people this is a near daily reality. This can be even more distressing when employers downplay just how dangerous their workplaces really are. Unfortunately, Amazon workers in North Carolina might already be all too familiar with the risks of working for an employer who seems to undervalue their workplace safety.
Amazon has reportedly funneled tens of millions of dollars into improving safety measures at its fulfillment centers, but that money does not seem to have done much. According to internal safety reports from Amazon itself, worker injuries have been going up ever since 2016. In 2019 alone, there were reports of 14,000 serious injuries in Amazon fulfillment centers. This comes out to 7.7 injuries for every 100 employees — about twice the industry standard.
This might not even paint the full picture, either. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration — OSHA — a physician who inspected multiple warehouse locations found that many workers are discouraged from reporting their injuries, and also from seeking medical care. Furthermore, an initiative intended to minimize the number of injuries that require workers to take time off of work actually made it harder to accurately count these types of injuries.
There is no such thing as a risk-free workplace, but employers should take every necessary step to protect their workers. When workplace safety is not a priority, men and women in North Carolina can suffer needlessly. Those who have been hurt at work might be understandably frustrated by their situations, but it is important to know what help is available. For example, many injured workers qualify for benefits for lost wages and medical care through the workers’ compensation system.

In the fourth installment of Escape From New York, in which I pick new cities and homes for New Yorkers priced out of the real estate market, we meet Randi. In some ways, she's got a great situation: She lives in one of the last extant middle-class communities in Manhattan, a limited-equity co-op (cheap to buy, but you don't make much money when you sell it), with an amazing group of neighbors and a community garden.
But, like many of us, Randi's bummed out by the city's increasing density and the growing influence of enormous wealth (Randi cites "the persistent closing of neighborhood establishments"). The endless skyscraper construction means the loss of her river view.
She wants to live in a left wing-leaning place with a very low cost of living, a lake, and a progressive Jewish community. Sunshine would be great, and walkability and public transit are must-haves. Also, she says, the city should "not be in a state of hyper-gentrification," but neither should she be the "leading-edge gentrifier." One last thing: It has to be a nonstop flight away from both New York City and Philadelphia.
So let's go to Cleveland.
The Rust Belt city is getting shinier all the time. It's got a strong environmental movement (the plan is to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 80% come 2050). Last year the mayor announced a plan to invest $100 million in the struggling neighborhoods. It has many walkable neighborhoods, and all the lake you could hope for. But sorry about the sunshine situation.
And budget living? You can pick up a big ol' house for $30,000 -- though, OK, it's probably priced at rock bottom for a reason. Here are some options for a little more that still look like fire-sale prices compared with New York City real estate.
P.S. Want to be profiled? Drop me a line.
It's beautiful! It's big (by New York standards)! It's got a bar in the basement! And (be still my heart) it's a bungalow. I hope you share my love of bungalows. Five bedrooms, two bathrooms, a lovely kitchen, close-ish to the lake in a nice neighborhood just outside the city. Hurry, before I buy it.
Here is a surefire way to live cheaply: Buy a three-family house for less than $170,000. This one needs a bit of updating -- say goodbye to the carpet, give the kitchen a little love -- but it's got central air, a two-car garage, and a workshop in the basement. It's also on "one of Lakewood's sought after streets." Plus, you can "walk to park, shopping, restaurants and public transportation."
Um, yeah, it's almost hard to list this home's attributes -- at least for me, if I'm not going to cry with jealousy. Beautiful period details, from oak pocket doors to oak mantels. And the garden, well, it's gonna make you happy. Not quite sure how you'll feel about this part of the description: "Priced out of other gentrifying areas to the east? Discover this walkable, convenient & affordable alternative."
Look at what you can get for $70,000: a three-bedroom, 1.5-bath home measuring 2,773 square feet, near the lake, with original details, built-ins, and, heck, a Murphy bed, because all your New York friends are coming to visit.

GAO’s reports and testimonies give Congress, federal agencies, and the public timely, fact-based, non-partisan information that can improve government operations and save taxpayers billions of dollars.
Three U.S. national strategies, developed in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, directed U.S. law enforcement agencies (LEA) to focus on the prevention of terrorist attacks. The strategies called for LEAs to intensify their efforts to help foreign nations identify, disrupt, and prosecute terrorists.
The U.S. government controls arms exports by U.S. companies to ensure that such exports are consistent with national security and foreign policy interests. There have been various efforts to change the arms export control system, which is overseen by the State Department.
In late 2002, terrorists fired surface-to-air missiles at an Israeli airliner departing from Mombasa, Kenya--the first time man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) had been used to attack commercial aircraft in a non-combat zone.
The worldwide trafficking and smuggling of nuclear material has reportedly increased in recent years. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reports 181 confirmed cases of illicit trafficking of nuclear material since 1993.
