Gorgeous SEMA concept shows Ford Bronco's work-to-weekend modularity
Since it first launched the all-new Bronco, Ford has spent a lot of time stressing how the 4x4 fits the lifestyle of overlanders and other long-haul off-road travelers. But what about the more common weekend warrior? Ford definitely hasn't forgotten about them, and its new Bronco Badlands Sasquatch 2-Door Concept proves it. The SEMA-style build highlights the Bronco's deeply ingrained bolt-on modularity, showing how the 4x4 can quickly change from a highway-hauling 9-to-5 commuter to an extreme backcountry mountain scaler and back again in less time than it takes to drive to the trailhead.
In a process that reportedly took but a few hours, Ford transforms a standard Bronco Badlands 2-Door with Sasquatch Package into an airy special-edition built up for serious off-roading. It swaps out the doors, front fenders and flares, rear quarter panels, grille and wheels with a drill and basic tools, turning the Bronco from a standard everyday commuter into a backcountry force of nature.
The newly added impact-resistant fenders are a slimmer, lower profile design meant to better maneuver around tight trail without getting dinged or scratched. And if they do take a beating, the owner will be swapping them out for the standard set before pushing off to work on Monday morning, so there'll be no sign of the toll the weekend took. The cutaway step-over doors, meanwhile, pull inspiration from the first-generation Bronco U13 Roadster, providing a breezier ride and offering an easier path for sticking your head out to get a better view of the trail and tires.
Ford also swaps in 3D-printed titanium components to save weight and boost off-road capability. Both the trail sights on the hood and grab handles inside benefit from this light, strong construction technique.
We love the concept, but if there's one place Ford went wrong it was in making it too damn pretty. The matte of the bolt-on panels against the glossy black of the original components, combined with the cutaway doors and equalizer-style Bronco graphics all look way too nice to be dedicated solely to taking an off-road beating. If anything, we'd be inclined to make it a different kind of weekend driver – one that sits protected in a garage and only comes out for weekend cruises (on road) and car shows. Perhaps we might off-road the stock version before bolting the concept body kit back on and building it back to show floor form.
Ford debuted the new Bronco Badlands Sasquatch 2-Door concept at a special SEMA-style Auto Nights event it broadcast digitally last week. The concept was joined by a few other SUV and truck builds, all wearing various gear racks and other accessories for a more rugged, outdoorsy look.
The Mad Bronco Sport Badlands is one of those other builds and yet another instance of Ford advertising the overlanding intentions of the new Bronco family, including the Sport. Prepared in collaboration with Mad Industries, the concept is designed as an outdoor adventurer's dream rig with a roof rack loaded with a kayak and recovery gear. For those who don't want to camp out in or on the Bronco itself, this one tows a Boreas Campers MXT off-road squaredrop trailer. The Bronco Sport itself gets a suspension lift, BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tires and an off-road light bar as part of its rooftop accessories kit, looking the part of a capable wilderness shuttle.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen has not been shy about his feelings on running back Saquon Barkley. He wants him to remain in East Rutherford long-term.
“Saquon and I have a great relationship,” Schoen said earlier this month. “I’ve talked with him (and) told him I’d like him to be here, and I think he’s in the same boat. So, we’ll see if we can work something out here at some point.”
The Giants attempted to make that happen during the bye week but fell short. Well short, in fact.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Giants and Barkley didn’t even get close to agreement on a new deal and talks have now been tabled until the offseason.
The New York Giants and star running back Saquon Barkley will table any talks about a new contract until after this season, league sources told ESPN.
Barkley and the Giants did not come close to hammering out a new deal during last week’s bye, according to sources.
The two sides did not want contract negotiations to cause a distraction for the remainder of the season.
If the Giants are unable to sign Barkley to a new deal, they could use the franchise tag on the star running back. So either way, expectations are that Barkley will remain with the team for at least one more season with eyes set on a long-term deal.

There is in God (some say)
a deep, but dazzling darkness; as men here
say it is late and dusky, because they
see not all clear;
O for that night! where I in him
might live invisible and dim.
In this poem Vaughan explores the night encounter of Nicodemus and Jesus, I love the honesty of the final lines. ‘O for that night! where I in him might live invisible and dim.’ To rest in what we don’t know, what we haven’t yet grasped and for that to be perfectly okay.

When it comes to social media monitoring tools there are a number of players, none more innovative than Brandwatch. One of the few players who understand that data doesn’t have to be complicated and it can also be beautiful! A couple of days ago I attended their client event in London, at the luxurious Soho Hotel, London.
Highlights of the afternoon:
- Clarabridge – looking at intelligent customer experiences
- Dell – becoming a social business
- A lesson on identifying social media influencers
- Looking at the future of business and how it is most certainly social
One overall takeaway from the event was clear. At the moment the PR industry is full of creative types but what we need more of is data scientists. If we really are creating 2,500,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes of data each day (according to Clarabridge) then we need more robust social media analysis systems to be in place. Measurement tools help, but real industry-specific analysis can only be achieved by skilled staff.
The technological advancements taking place in the social media space are significant. Therefore, developments of measurement platforms are key for driving the PR industry forward. Events such as Brandwatch’s demonstrated to me that clients will demand an ever higher standard of service.
PS. This blog post roughly added an additional 30,000 bytes to the digital conversation.

One of the big news of the week in the National Football League (NFL) was the withdrawal of Ben Roethlisberger, who leaves the league after 18 seasons wearing the shirt of Pittsburgh Steelers and two rings superbowl at their expense.
There are many personalities who greeted and congratulated Big Ben for his illustrious career, which will surely lead him, when time permits, to join the select group of players who wear the gold jacket in the Hall of Fame.
Tom Brady stood out among those personalities, with an eloquent message as the GOAT has accustomed us, but the one who surprised was one of the most controversial players in the league but, also, probably the receiver who understood the most with Roethlisberger in his career: Anthony Brown.
Antonio Brown’s message for the retirement of Ben Roethlisberger
Antonio Brown decided to send his congratulations on a great race to Big Ben on Twitter, a quarterback with whom he is the best he understood in his career, combining for 72 touchdowns. There was some of that in the message, since the former Buccaneers needed only seven words where he also praised himself: “Best team in the NFL, congratulations legend”.

Will men’s engagement rings be the next big proposal trend?
24 Jul 2018
Men's engagement rings are a rising trend, but how did the trend emerge and will it catch on?
Image: Nick Karvounis via Unsplash
It has recently been reported that wedding traditions are becoming a thing of the past, with brides and grooms opting for a more modern take on tradition or eschewing conventions altogether. However, one tradition that shows no signs of fading away is the wearing of an engagement ring, with most brides accepting a ring to signal their betrothal.
Yet it has been noted that this trend is evolving and a rise in men wearing an engagement ring has become evident, with 5% of men currently wearing a ring before marriage. This was perhaps first heralded by a campaign in 1926 where American jewellery companies tried to popularise the concept of men’s engagement rings, although this was to no avail.
Companies banded together to create a collaborative marketing campaign involving a series of adverts in several major newspapers. The ads, which attempted to associate men’s rings with masculinity, featured black and white images of a man smoking a cigarette – with a ring on his third finger. To really push the concept of jewellery for ‘manly men’, the rings also featured names such as ‘The Master’, ‘The Pilot’ and ‘The Stag’. Unfortunately for the jewellery companies, the association of engagement rings with femininity was too deeply ingrained in people’s minds and the campaign fell flat.
In 2018 however, things have changed; male engagement rings, dubbed ‘mangagement’ rings by the press, are becoming increasingly popular. So, what caused this shift in public opinion and is this trend here to stay? Diamond engagement rings retailer Angelic Diamonds sheds some light on this trend revival.
A rising trend
The male engagement ring first came back into the public eye in 2010 when Michael Bublé was pictured wearing one. The trend began to take hold with further male celebrities such as Johnny Depp showcasing that men can mark their engagement too.
Google data also supports the trend's increasing traction. In late 2014, the volume of searches for ‘male engagement rings’ reached 5,400 total searches with the figure more than doubling to 12,100 in September 2017. The number of total searches for this term reached an all-time-high in 2016, with 22,000 total searches.
Same-sex marriage has also influenced the boom in popularity for men’s engagement rings. In July 2013, the UK legalised same-sex marriage and on March 13th 2014, the first gay wedding was held. Jewellers all over the country followed this by releasing a range of male engagement rings – a move which also appealed to women wanting to propose themselves.
Female celebrities have also had a part to play in turning tradition on its head and proposing to their partners; Jennifer Hudson proposed to her fiancé with a ring a few months after he proposed to her.
Will it stick?
However there is still resistance to the trend, with many men claiming to not feel entirely comfortable wearing an engagement ring. Men’s engagement watches are an alternative to rings and vintage watch retailer H.Q Milton recently revealed that they have seen a significant uptake in the sales of engagement watches in recent months. On a similar note, the co-founder of luxury watch retailer Christopher Ward said that customers were now buying watches with engraved personal messages for their partners to celebrate their engagement.
Neil Dutta, owner of Angelic Diamonds, comments: “We have certainly noticed an increased interest in men’s jewellery over the past few years. In particular, men are taking a much more active role in choosing the details and design of their ring, such as the metal and gemstone. We think that men’s engagement rings will become the norm in the next few decades as they realise that jewellery is something that both partners can enjoy and appreciate.”


Robert Pattinson’s Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor for The Batman has shared a behind-the-scenes training photo of the star.
As preparations continue for Batman to return to screens, Pattinson has begun the arduous process of getting himself in physical shape to tackle the role of Bruce Wayne. Pattinson’s trainer Rigan Machado indeed just shared an image of himself and Pattinson in the gym working hard on getting the actor ready for the task ahead. See the image in the space below:
In the photo, Rigan Machado is most likely going over some very basic training exercises. Robert Pattinson has only just recently begun prep for The Batman so we can expect to see more footage of him training before the film starts rolling in the coming months.
Indeed, it seems that Pattinson is ready to sink himself all the way into the character of Batman, which should come as no surprise given the actor’s insane level of commitment to roles in other recent films, including The Lighthouse, which is garnering Oscar buzz. Even so, when it comes to physical preparation, Pattinson will have a long way to go to catch up to Christian Bale, who transformed himself into a genuine physical specimen to play Wayne in the Dark Knight trilogy. It will be fascinating to see what Pattinson looks and sounds like when The Batman finally arrives in theaters. Of course, no matter what he does, it will undoubtedly meet with a certain amount of negativity from some circles.

Meir Panim implements programs that serve Israel’s neediest populations with respect and dignity. Meir Panim also coordinated care packages for families in the South during the Gaza War.
Only after the Israel Defense Forces returned to Hebron during the Six-Day War were Me’arat HaMachpelah and Kever Rachel reopened to all visitors regardless of their religious faith or identity. History suggests that the Israeli policy of open access, which has remained in place since 1967 despite repeated episodes of Muslim violence, would be unlikely to endure for very long should Islamic rule over these Jewish holy sites ever be restored.
Indeed, the week-long eruptions in late February over the amended Heritage list, with ritualized stone-throwing and tire-burning by Palestinian teen-agers in Hebron and Jerusalem, offered a familiar replay of previous episodes of orchestrated Palestinian violence. In 1996, when the first Netanyahu government opened a new entrance to tunnel excavations adjacent to the Western Wall, Yasir Arafat incited Palestinian rioting that quickly claimed the lives of seventeen Israeli soldiers and dozens of Arabs.
Four years later, with the knowledge and consent of the Palestinian Authority’s chief of security, Ariel Sharon led a Likud delegation to the Temple Mount, location of the ancient Jewish Temples that centuries ago had been miraculously transformed into Islam’s “third holiest” site. A day later, Palestinian violence erupted in Jerusalem and then throughout the West Bank, resulting in fifty deaths and hundreds of injuries.
With the Israeli evacuation of Joseph’s Tomb in Shechem, it became the site of a mosque, as had the Temple Mount and Me’arat HaMachpelah many centuries earlier. Needless to say, biblical land purchases were valueless to readers of the Koran.
In the end, it is Islam – not Israel – that remains determined to erase identity, preempt religious sites, and steal another people’s history. It is long past time for Western nations, the United Nations and especially the United States to take notice of the relentless Muslim determination to rob the Jewish people of their birthright in their own homeland.
If this is too much to expect, then Israelis and Jews might at least rouse themselves to defend their ancient heritage and preserve the land that symbolizes it.

While police officers face dangers every day on the job, Jews also face danger in their daily lives.

During much of the 20th century, elite American colleges and universities carefully policed their admission gates to restrict the entry of Jews. Like its Big Brothers – Harvard, Yale and Princeton – Wellesley College, where I taught history between 1971 and 2010, designed admission policy to perpetuate a white Anglo-Saxon Protestant elite.
Yossi Klein Halevi’s Like Dreamers (Harper) explores the lives of seven Israeli paratroopers in the Six-Day War who, his subtitle suggests, “Reunited Jerusalem and Divided a Nation.” It offers a fascinating variation on the theme of Israel at a fateful crossroads, in search of itself, following the wondrously unifying moment at the Western Wall in June 1967 when Jewish national sovereignty in Jerusalem was restored for the first time in nineteen centuries.
In death as in life, Menachem Begin remained who he had always been: a proud yet humble Jew.
Eighty years ago, in January 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany. Barely a month later Franklin D. Roosevelt was inaugurated president of the United States. For the next twelve years, until their deaths eighteen days apart in April 1945, they personified the horrors of dictatorship and the blessings of democracy.
One of my searing early memories from Israel is a visit nearly four decades ago to the Ghetto Fighters Museum in the Beit Lohamei Hagetaot kibbutz. The world’s first Holocaust museum, it was built soon after the Independence War by survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising.
Nearly sixty-five years ago Israel declared its independence and won the war that secured a Jewish state. But its narrow and permeable postwar armistice lines permitted incessant cross-border terrorist raids. For Egypt, Syria and Jordan, the mere existence of a Jewish state remained an unbearable intrusion into the Arab Middle East. As Egyptian President Nasser declared, “The danger of Israel lies in the very existence of Israel.”

The to-be-expected robust car from Maruti, the MSIL Fronx is a crossover form of the already existing Baleno. Although this doesn’t have much of a difference from the Baleno, we expect it to be a stronger one in terms of safety. Said that the CNG version of this car will surely be the icing on the cake. Hence, it is the first one among the upcoming CNG cars in India in 2023.
Tata Punch CNG
Showcased at the auto expo, this will be the first twin-cylinder CNG technology in India. You will get some boot space in addition to the added CNG range due to the two cylinders. This makes it one of the most anticipated machines among the upcoming CNG cars in India. An absolute win-win we guess!
Tata Altroz CNG
Getting the same twin cylinder setup with ofcourse all the advantages same as the Punch, the next on our list is the Tata Altroz. Among the upcoming CNG cars, the Altroz CNG will be a breakthrough as this is expected to get some out-of-the-box features which none of us has seen in a CNG car. Yes, this is expected to get CNG in the top-end variant with a sunroof!
Kia Sonet CNG
This Korean carmaker is expected to launch a CNG variant of the Sonet in the coming months. This will be the first CNG-powered vehicle from the Korean automaker. With this, Kia will also hit the evolving CNG market in India. We can expect the Sonet to launch quite soon in India.

It’s been a week since Davey Johnson came to the Washington Nationals’ rescue and became their manager. Sure, it’s unheard of for a team with 13 wins in its previous 15 games to need rescuing, but the 68-year-old inherited baseball’s hottest team and seemed to turn Jim Riggleman’s shock resignation into a positive.
With Johnson’s sparkling resume, even the most cynical fans could wonder whether this club finally has the components to be a contender.
The last seven days, however, have been anything but a honeymoon. And the Pittsburgh Pirates on Sunday afternoon extinguished whatever magic remained from Johnson’s hire, bludgeoning Washington 10-2 at Nationals Park.
Washington dropped back under .500, and Johnson lost for the fifth time in seven games at the helm.
“I don’t like to get beat,” he said. “It wasn’t any fun today.”
Johnson’s players agreed. The pep from their surge earlier this month is now a memory. They dressed and filed out of the clubhouse in silence after Sunday’s beat down.
The Nationals’ offense resumed its struggles with runners in scoring position, going 0-for-9 Sunday, and injuries continue to mount. Reality has returned.
The downward swing doesn’t have anything to do with Johnson, though, third baseman Ryan Zimmerman insisted. It’s just the normal flow of a season.
“Baseball is a sport of averages,” he said. “You’re going to go through times when you’re unstoppable, and you’re going to go through times when things happen. The big thing is we’re still right where we need to be.
“You could be the manager and we’d be the same record. Davey doesn’t get hits and Davey doesn’t make plays. To say it’s on him is ridiculous.”
Johnson also wasn’t the one with the lifeless sinker against Pittsburgh. That belonged to starter Jason Marquis, who surrendered seven runs in 1 1/3 innings en route to his first loss in seven starts.
“I didn’t have that good late movement,” Marquis said, “and obviously it cost us the game.”
The 23,522 fans who braved the 100-degree heat index hoping to see the latest Nats thriller were disappointed. Pittsburgh wasted no time sapping the suspense from this one.
Alex Presley began the game with a single to left. Chase d’Arnaud then hit a high bouncer back to the mound. Marquis threw to second, but the ball squirted into center field after second baseman Danny Espinosa prematurely moved his hands to pivot the double play.
The throw was a bit low, too, and Marquis was credited with the error. So instead of one out and a runner on first, it was first and third and no outs.
After Garrett Jones popped out, Andrew McCutchen, Neil Walker and Lyle Overbay hit consecutive RBI singles to make it 3-0.
The Pirates didn’t need any more runs, as it turned out, but they piled on. Marquis retired only one of the five batters he faced in the second inning. Jones and McCutchen chased him with back-to-back doubles. It was 8-0 before the Nationals’ second turn at bat.
Washington’s troubles didn’t end there. With first baseman Michael Morse already missing Sunday’s contest after being hit by a pitch during Saturday’s doubleheader, right fielder Jayson Werth left the game in the sixth inning after being hit on the left wrist.
Werth finished the afternoon 0-for-2 with a welt to show for it. He told Johnson he did not need an X-ray. “He’ll probably be down for a day or two,” Johnson said.
Wilson Ramos’ two-run homer in the second inning was one of few highlights for Washington.
About 30 minutes after the final out, Johnson emerged from the manager’s office and bounced from locker to locker, checking in with his players. He chatted with Ian Desmond and Roger Bernadina; something, maybe, to help the team recapture its lost momentum.
“We’re thinking long-term,” Desmond said. “We’re not really concerned about a loss here, a loss there. I think we know that we’re better than what we’re playing.”

Bishwo Babu Pudasaini, director general of the Nepal Bureau of Standards and Metrology, said that the amendment would bring uniformity according to international standards.
The bill has defined measuring units according to international standards as recommended by the General Assembly of Measurement and Weight. The bureau had prepared a preliminary draft at the end of 2017.
As per the proposed piece of legislation, there will be a central lab for measurement and weight at the bureau, and it will provide all services and do research work.
Businesses are required to use measuring and weighing machines that have been stamped by the inspectors. Commercial distribution and sale of unstamped measures and weights is prohibited.
Traders and vendors must register their names by paying a prescribed fee and obtain a licence from the inspector to use measures and weights or measuring and weighing machines.
The fine for giving short measure has been increased from Rs1,000 to Rs25,000 for first time offenders, and to Rs25,000-Rs50,000 for a second offence and Rs100,000 for a third offence.
Manufacturing, repairing or selling commercial measuring or weighing machines without obtaining a permit from the inspector is forbidden.
Madhav Timilsina, president of the Consumer Rights Investigation Forum said that the act was outdated and that the amendment was essential as the prices of goods have increased by many folds since then.
The amendment will finally bring the Standard Measurement and Weight Act up to international standards where fraudulent traders will be flagged for action, Timilsina added.
Packaged goods such as rice, edible oil, gas cylinders were regularly weighed by machines that did not meet the standards set by the bureau.
The department is tasked with regulating measuring devices at petrol pumps, gas depots and factories. They then issue an official seal once the device meets the required standard.
Last year, many petrol pumps in Kathmandu were fined for tampering with the official seal to cheat customers and the department fined the errant pumps’ owners Rs30,000.
The department said that they have been conducting market inspections and taking actions against traders and firms that cheat customers by not providing the actual quantity of goods they paid for.

It’s not often Life feels remorse for his actions.
(For what is there to feel remorse for?
There is no wrong or right in his dealings, there’s only survival. Only the white knuckles from fighting and ruddy dirt smeared hands from work.)
The revolution is no exception.
Besides, there’s something about communism that harkens to the order of things. Spots and spaces perfectly cut for their pieces. Cogs and roles to be filled.
And what a spectre she has become. Pale hands, wringing for rations. Blonde hair–– bleached for fear of recognition, or perhaps shocked white from the horrors she’s faced?
He remembers the fire, the siege. Her dark little head. How well she survived, then, in the night. How well she survives, now, in the ration line. Call him proud, if you must.
He leans over her shoulder, peering in the room of her wool pocket. Extra bread. She knows how to live. He keeps his voice hush, lets it breathe against the hair on her neck, but he leaves it loud enough–– just to flirt with surrounding earshots.

Trailer Hitch Wiring Diagram – People understand that trailer is a vehicle comprised of rather complicated mechanics. This car is designed not just to travel 1 location to another but also to carry heavy loads. This article will be talking trailer hitch wiring diagram. Which are the advantages of understanding these understanding? You will be surprised to learn it.
First, knowing the diagram of cables for trailer will be useful during troubleshooting. When issues occur with the trailer, driver would want to learn where the problem place is located. It helps immediately in repairing errors. Second, understanding the diagram of wires for trailer is very good for those who wish to test gathering for themselves.
Learning Trailer Wiring Diagram Better
Normally, there are 3 types of diagrams which people may take a look at when aiming to build wires such as trailers. Each cable has distinct purpose and design so it is important for driver to match the needs before settling on one.
- 7-Pin Connector
This Trailer Hitch Wiring Diagram model is much more appropriate for sophisticated trailers and RVs. It can transfer power better so the connector is suggested for higher-level electric in the car. Here’s the diagram for 7-pin connector.
- White Pin for the floor.
- Brown Pin for unwanted markers, tail lights, and running lights.
- Yellow Pin for abandoned brake light and left turn mark.
- Green Pin Yellow Pin for right brake light and right turn markers.
- Blue Pin for electrical brakes.
- Red 12 volt auxiliary power.
- Purple for backup lights.
- 5-Pin Connector
This 5-pin trailer wiring diagram is great for trailer which has large capacity. However, it doesn’t have as sophisticated and electrical consuming characteristics that RV and other costly trailers might have. Below is the setup to get 5-pin connector for improved comprehension.
- White cables for floor power.
- Brown cables for conducting lights, tail lights, and negative markers.
- Yellow cables for abandoned brake signal and left turn too.
- Green cables for proper brake signal and right twist too.
- Blue wires for electric brakes so that the car can operate better.
- 4-Pin Connector
There is a very basic Trailer Hitch Wiring Diagram. It is the 4-pin connector. This kind of connector is fantastic for customer trailers. It ought not be carrying heavy loads throughout the journey. Besides being light, it is implied that the connector doesn’t have some power-draining accessory. The basic diagram for the connector is very similar to above types.
- White cables for any electricity that happens on the lighting.
- Brown cables for any running lights, back lights, and peripheral markers.
- Yellow wires for virtually any left brake sign and left sign turn.
- Green wires for any ideal brake sign and right signal turn.
Driver should note several things related to the diagram, though. Such things will avoid driver from encountering any electric problem during usage. It’s recommended that the white wire should connect the ground to any wire at the top. Although this sounds dull, it is going to conserve user from hassles in the future.
There’s another thing related to diagram however is particularly concerning routing. A way to wrap it about the trailer can be quite interesting. It’s because the cable will be able to distribute electricity to other trailer’s components in equivalent way. Wires should be guarded by material that is strong and durable but doesn’t hinder its working.
Hopefully the article associated with Trailer Hitch Wiring Diagram will be assisting motorist to designing their own trailer wires better. If not it is still a wonderful knowledge to get for when troubles happen to your precious vehicle.


Thousands of assault claims in immigrant detention centers may have gone uninvestigated
An immigrant rights advocacy group has filed a federal complaint accusing the Department of Homeland Security of failing to investigate thousands of sexual assault allegations from the country's immigrant detention centers.
The complaint alleges that of the 33,126 claims of sexual abuse, DHS has only investigated 570.
According to Fusion, the allegations span from January 2010 to July 2016 and include reports of assaults during medical examinations and strip searches, as well as rape perpetrated by guards and fellow detainees.
Community Initiatives for Visiting Immigrants in Confinement, the advocacy group that filed the complaint, said that the Office of the Inspector General would often send cases back to the offending agency's officials without instructing them to follow up.
"What we have learned from this federal data and from interviews with people in detention is that many of these sexual assaults are being perpetrated by ICE officers, contracted facility guards and even medical professionals," CIVIC co-executive director Christina Fialho told Fusion.
Just in March, the American Civil Liberties Union filed a claim against a Customs and Border Protection agent who allegedly sexually assaulted two sisters after detaining them in Texas.
The elder of the two sisters, referred to as "Clarita" in the claim, said a CBP agent took her into a closet of sorts where he lifted her bra and groped her breasts before "forcefully" pulling down her underwear and touching her vagina. She said the agent then went into the same closet with her sister, who later emerged "crying and terrified."
"What happened to us is NOT normal, it is NOT part of protocol and it is NOT legal," Clarita wrote in a blog post at the time. "No one, no matter the situation or their background, deserves to go through this."
DHS, which oversees Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other agencies, however, maintained the findings in CIVIC's new report are overblown.
"Unfortunately, the report just released by [CIVIC] regarding purported sexual abuse and sexual harassment at ICE and CBP facilities is grossly inaccurate," DHS press secretary Gillian Christensen told Fusion.
Christensen said the department will nonetheless look into the group's claims, but noted, "While ICE's goal is to prevent all sexual abuse among its custody population, given the volume of individuals who annually pass through its detention system, the agency believes the overall incidence of such activity is very low."

Always a lighthearted alternative to the brooding angst of the ‘90s grunge movement, the New Orleans trio Better Than Ezra continue to write and record breezy, catchy pop-rock songs that are bright on hooks and harmonies. For their eighth studio album, All Together Now, they worked with GRAMMY®-nominated mixer/producer Tony Hoffer (Fitz & The Tantrums, M83, Beck, Silversun Pickups) in his “magical room”: The Hobby Shop in Highland Park, Calif. While recording together in a room may seem the obvious way to do things, it isn’t always how records are made in the digital age. Leader Kevin Griffin insisted on having all the members there, and songs like “Crazy Lucky,” “Insane,” and “Sunflowers” thrive on the kinetic energy of having their rhythm section—bassist Tom Drummond and drummer Michael Jerome—working as one. Nearly every song features infectious “ohs” and lyrics designed to raise an eyebrow.


Ice Age avalanche is essentially the exact same game as Pastry Paradise in terms of gameplay, with the exception of having the Ice Age licence and thus having an ice theme instead of a cake theme.

U.S. stocks shaved earlier gains to end in mixed territory Thursday, with the S&P 500 jumping to a record high, as the country's economic data came in mixed. The S&P 500 added 3.22 points, or 0.17 percent, to 1,877.03, its second all-time closing high in the week. The broader S&P 500 also set an all-time intraday high of 1,881.94 in the trading session. The Dow Jones Industrial Average gained 61.71 points, or 0.38 percent, to 16,421.89, while the Nasdaq Composite Index was down 5. 85 points, or 0.13 percent, to 4,352.13. In the week ending March 1, the advance figure for seasonally adjusted initial claims was 323,000, a decrease of 26,000 from the previous week's revised figure of 349,000, the Labor Department said Thursday. Economists had forecast the claims to drop to 338, 000. A separate report from the Labor Department showed nonfarm business sector labor productivity increased at a 1.8-percent annual rate during the fourth quarter of 2013. Moreover, the Commerce Department said new orders for manufactured goods in January decreased 0.7 percent, more than expected. Excluding volatile sector transportation, however, new orders increased 0.2 percent. Recent economic weakness isn't enough to alter the Federal Reserve's plan to cut back its massive asset buying program at coming policy meetings, New York Fed President William Dudley told The Wall Street Journal Thursday. Dudley also said he would advocate abolishing 6.5 percent unemployment rate as a threshold for considering a hike in short- term interest rates at the Fed's next meeting due on March 18-19. Investors are also expecting the closely-watched nonfarm payrolls report for February due out Friday. "Tomorrow's payroll report will certainly contain a lot of noise about the weather, but a third month in a row of weak job numbers will cause some to question the ability of this economy to produce meaningful job growth," said Jay Morelock, an economist at FTN Financial. In corporate news, Costco Wholesale Corp. shares fell 2.76 percent to 113.26 U.S. dollars apiece, after the warehouse club operator reported a 15-percent decline in its net income for the fiscal second-quarter, missing analysts' expectations. On the previous trading day, Wall Street closed narrowly mixed, with the S&P 500 briefly hitting a record intraday high, after major stock indices logged their best day this year.

When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion, we were like those who dreamed.  Our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with songs of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The Lord has done great things for them.”  The Lord has done great things for us, and we are filled with joy.  Restore our fortunes, Lord, like streams in the Negev.  Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy.  Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.
Pilgrims would sing these ascension songs as they walked up to Jerusalem/Zion. This was likely during the time of Ezra and Nehemiah after the Babylonian exile. There was laughter and dreaming:
“We were like those who dream” (v 1)
“Our mouths were filled with laughter” (v 2)
Additionally, there was proclamation:
“The Lord has done great things” (v 3)
However, we can’t just stay in the glory days. There is still a lot of work to be done: sow with tears. (v 5-6)
We ascend through our dreams
Be a dreamer for and with God. What do you see in the year(s) to come?
2 Corinthians 2:14
But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere.
We are captives of Christ and this will lead to a triumphant procession.
In Psalm 126:2-3 it is repeated twice that the Lord has done “great things”. This is because it is important to remember this.
The ceiling is my faith! Don’t stumble over something in your past.
We ascend through determination
I have to be determined to sow with tears. Tears are connected to love. Unity, for instance, is hard work and takes tears.
Whoever would foster love covers over an offense, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends.
Today, we sow seeds by spreading the word of the Gospel.
1 Corinthians 15:1-2
Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand.  By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
After that, we will carry sheaves that we can hardly carry, whilst singing songs of joy!

Everton FC vs Burnley FC, Premier League 2020 REGULAR SEASON
1 : 0
26th of December 2019 15:00
First half: 45 | Second half: 45
- 0' - We are underway at Goodison Park. The crowd does wile while the referee lows the starting whistle.
- 5' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Everton FC that had 87 games and scored 124 goals.
- 10' - It’s high time Carlo Ancelotti made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
- 15' - The travelling Burnley FC supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
- 20' - Not even hints on scoring a goal over the last 20 minutes.
- 25' - looks like a favorite considering 0 games won in last 0 matches with its main striker scoring goals.
- 30' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Dwight McNeil suffering a number of foals already.
- 35' - Yerry Mina needs to be pretty careful with his discipline considering 4 Yellow cards this season.
- 40' - It looks like no one’s ball. Burnley FC is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
- 45' - Burnley FC started playing very sharply right from the kick off. However, it slowed down the tempo rapidly by 45.
- 50' - Spectators do not have much to choose from both teams. The sides had several scoring chances but they still need a bit more than just a sight of a goal.
- 55' - Ashley Westwood has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 8 appearances with only 1 goals this season.
- 60' - Although teams showed high tempo form the start, they seem to slow down a bit. Both sides really need to catch a fire. Otherwise, we have another goalless match.
- 65' - Burnley FC is showing some good football. However, Burnley FC are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.
- 68' - The whistle greets Robbie Brady as he departs to be replaced by Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson.
- 73' - Everton FC seems to be on a short break. The game is mainly concentrated in the center. It’s high time they got back to action. Otherwise, it looks like a goalless game.
- 74' - The whistle greets Chris Wood as he departs to be replaced by Ashley Barnes.
- 77' - Moise Kean is replacing Bernard for the Everton FC side.
- 80' - Everton FC is taking the lead after the goal scored by Dominic Calvert-Lewin on 80.

I knew I was in love, when all those stupid love songs started to make sense.
Sometime I wish you would pay more attention to my favourite songs, because the lyrics they sing are the words I'm too scared to say.
The fact that music can induce goose bumps, draw a tear, inspire, and connect is one of my favourite parts of being a human.
Her favourite song will say more about her then her mouth ever will.
Music’s the medicine of the mind. Music is the literature of the heart; it commences where speech ends.
My life is a song. Every lyric, every note is up to me. And though it may fall out of tune, in the end, what matters most is how it has touched the hearts of others.
I love music because it's the only thing that hasn't walked away from me, when I needed it most.
No matter what song I listen to, there’s always at least one line that reminds me of you...


OAKLAND — Spurred by a catastrophic bolt failure earlier this year, Bay Bridge builders flipped the switch Friday on an unprecedented test program that will put nearly every type of high-strength steel fastener used on the span under the microscope.
“No other construction job has done this,” said Caltrans resident engineer Bill Casey on Friday morning at the bridge’s shoreline construction headquarters in Oakland.
Named for engineer and inventor Herb Townsend, the test accelerates the effects of a corrosive marine environment on high-strength steel under loads simulated to mimic the bridge structure. Over time, rust exposes the steel to hydrogen, which can invade its granular structure and leave it brittle and vulnerable to fracture.
The 32 anchor rods that snapped in March succumbed to a short-term version of the same phenomenon.
They were the only fasteners that broke, and none of the other 2,210 high-strength bolts installed on the bridge show any signs of a similar malady, Caltrans and its consultants have said.
The agencies overseeing the construction have abandoned the 96 anchor rods and are installing a $10 million to $15 million exterior saddle and cable assembly that will take the loads.
But the failure raised broad questions about whether the rest of the bolts could be susceptible to long-term stress corrosion. There are 17 different types of high-strength steel fasteners of varying sizes and loads on the new self-anchored suspension span, including the 32 that snapped. They were among 96 embedded in seismic stabilizers on the large pier east of the main span tower.
Several types of bolts are sealed inside bearing assemblies and cannot be tested, but engineers say these are protected from the elements and unlikely to suffer corrosion.
In the first round of Townsend tests that started Friday, technicians placed the ends of four threaded anchor rods — 22 feet long and 3 inches in diameter — against a solid surface and a hydraulic jack on the other end. Their threads have already been submerged in a heavy saltwater solution.
Technicians will increase the load every two days for 17 days. On day 18, they will crank the load up to 85 percent of the bolts’ capacity and hold it five days. By way of comparison, the highest tension placed on a bolt on the bridge is 70 percent.
This is a massive test by almost any standard.
Each individual anchor rod in the test rig holds 800,000 pounds — the equivalent weight of 67 African bull elephants — and if and when it cracks, the engineers want to make sure no debris flies around.
So they flanked each of the four test rigs with 6-foot segments of concrete freeway rail stacked four deep and then heaped sandbags over them.
In addition, technicians will remotely monitor the strain gage, which measures whether the rod deforms, and the acoustic sensor, which records the sounds of cracking.
If, when and at what level the bolt in the test rig breaks will “tell us whether that particular type of bolt needs to be replaced on the bridge or whether we could solve the problem by reducing the tension or through some other method, like a dehumidifier,” said Bay Bridge materials science engineer Mazen Wahbeh. “Remember, it takes all three things to trigger a failure — tension, susceptible material and hydrogen.”
Smaller samples of the tested bolts will then undergo another round of standard analysis for chemical properties, strength and ductility, and metallurgists will examine under a microscope what happened to their grain structures.
Seven more test rigs will be added to the four already in place. Testing is expected to continue for months, and Caltrans will use the results as the basis of a detailed, high-strength steel bolt maintenance plan, the engineers said.

About Exergaming for Health
This ia a 10-week program for overweight/obese children that takes a unique approach to give kids the tools needed for healthy lifestyle changes. It takes the attraction kids have for videogame technology to engage them in physical activity and pairs this with educational offerings about nutrition, lifestyle behaviors, family dynamics, self-esteem and body image.
This research study will compare results of two different weight management interventions: Exergaming for Health, a multi‐faceted weight management program for obese children and more traditional nutritional education classes.
Participants should be overweight children who are 8 to 12 years of age with a BMI of 85% or greater. There is no cost incurred for enrolling in this research project. The children should not have any medical or psychiatric conditions which would preclude their ability to participate in educational classes and moderate intensity exercise, nor should they be taking medications which influence their weight positively or negatively. Enrollment will require a written medical clearance from your primary care physician.
Children will be randomly assigned to the Exergaming for Health program or to nutrition and behavior management classes at a 2:1 ratio. The nutrition/behavior class group will be wait‐listed for 6 months after which they may participate in the exergaming program. They will undergo 10 weekly information based nutrition and behavior management classes, followed by four monthly maintenance sessions during the 6 month wait‐listed time frame.
The Exergaming for Health group will participate in 10 weekly 2‐hour sessions at the Peoria Riverplex, our local indoor park district recreation center. The program curriculum comprises: five 1‐hour classes taught by a licensed dietician addressing healthy food choices, portion sizes and overcoming barriers to healthier eating; five 1‐hour classes taught by a licensed counselor addressing psychosocial aspects of overweight such as behavior change and goal setting, positive self‐esteem and body image, healthy expressions of emotions and family communication; five 1‐hour facilitated exergaming sessions and five 1‐hour combined exergaming/traditional exercise sessions (e.g. dodgeball, yoga, jazzercise, bodypump, walk/run on a track). There will also be four monthly maintenance meetings following the intensive phase of the program.
We will require 6 months of participation from our two intervention groups and availability for measurements and administration of questionnaires after 1 year from enrollment. We will measure weight, height, blood pressure, heart rate waist circumference and cardiovascular fitness at the start, 10 weeks and 6 months and 12 months of the project. We will also request completion of questionnaires reflecting the child's nutrition, screen time behaviors, attitudes about physical activity at the start, 6 months and 12 months of the project. We will measure activity levels with a pedometer during week one, week 24 and week 52 of the study. Our first group of subjects began in April 2011 and our goal is to complete seven groups of 140 participants over a 2-year period.
Contact us to see if your child would be eligible to enroll.

Supertough and ultrasensitive flexible electronic skin based on nanocellulose/sulfonated carbon nanotube hydrogel films†
With increasing interest and demand for wearable sensor devices, fabricating a flexible hydrogel film sensor combining high strength and high sensitivity for monitoring human physiological signals is necessary but remains challenging. Recently, we have successfully prepared flexible piezoresistive electronic skin (E-skin) using 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNs) and sulfonated multi-walled carbon nanotubes (SCNTs). The flexible sensor exhibited an extremely high sensitivity of about 4.4 kPa−1, an ultrafast response time below 10 ms, an ultralow detection limit of 0.5 Pa, good stability (>11 000 cycles) and a mechanical strength of up to 184 MPa. At the same time, the pressure sensor had the advantages of a simple preparation process, low time consumption, low cost and good biocompatibility. With the popularity of smart terminal devices, the flexible sensor has great application prospects in the fields of future wearable electronic devices, health monitoring, motion monitoring, intelligent prosthetics, and artificial intelligence.

One of the most useful features in Application Google Maps, especially in the era of social distancing, is the ability to know how busy the restaurant or other business is before you arrive, and soon Google Maps will be able to show how busy the place is directly in the map view.
Google Maps has always provided occupancy indicators, the ability to know roughly how many people are in a particular place, and even compare that to the normal number of people for that day and time, and as is the case today, you need to click on a specific location’s menu in the Maps app to find the occupancy indicator.
Google hosted an event (Search OnDuring the event, Prabhakar Raghavan, Head of Search and Assistant at Google, said: “Busy indicators will soon appear directly on the map,” which highlighted some of the latest features of Google search and related products such as the assistant and maps.
Google Maps will place indicators such as (more busy than usual) and (busy as much as busy) under the site names, and this should help make it easier to identify places that may be avoided when trying to maintain a suitable social distance or even just sitting at a table properly. Faster. Additionally, this can be useful to get an idea of how busy a larger area is, rather than just a narrow view of individual spaces.
Likewise, Google Maps on Android and iOS will be able to show how busy the place is when navigating to this location. As for when these new features of occupancy indicators in Maps will arrive, it was the only timeline provided by Google Is a word (soon).
Google has also launched a large group of ads, all aimed at improving its primary product, which is search. In (Search On Event), the company explained that it will focus on using artificial intelligence to help its users, and among the new features is a new algorithm to better deal with misspellings in user inquiries, the ability to discover songs from buzz and new tools to help students with homework. Google is also reporting updates to Google Lens and other search tools. The Google event – streamed live – was in order to share several new developments in search ranking, which have been made possible by the company’s latest research in artificial intelligence.

I Just had a Bottle of Chimay Speciale Cent Cinquante. It had a fresh hop aroma I have never experienced. I mean to say is the hop aroma was the same as when I open a package of hops.
Now my queston is how can I make this happen. It's as if there are fresh hops in the bottle.
The Chimay website states a fresh noble hop aroma, but I have added hops at many diferent schedules, and just haven't experienced this.
And I would like to do this in my own beer. The best I can come up with is wet hops. Either dry hopped or first wort hops. Any suggestions?

Rabies post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is a combination of rabies immune globulin (RIG) and rabies vaccine that is given to a person to prevent rabies from developing. PEP is given to a person who has been potentially exposed to the rabies virus through a bite or a scratch from an infected animal. PEP is effective in preventing the development of rabies if administered before any signs and symptoms of the disease develop. Health care providers do not carry a supply of RIG and rabies vaccine, but can request if from the health unit.
RIG provides immediate passive protection until the exposed person develops an immune response to the rabies vaccine. The amount of RIG given is based on a person's body weight.
Rabies vaccine is given as either four doses over a 14 day period or five doses over a 28 day period (refer below for details).
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (for a person who HAS NOT received rabies vaccine before):
- For an immunocompetent person:
- RIG and four doses of rabies vaccine are given over a 14 day period.
- For an immunocompromised person:
- RIG and five doses of rabies vaccine are given over a 28 day period.
Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (for a person who HAS received rabies vaccine before):
- Two doses of rabies vaccine are given on day 0 and day 3.
- RIG is not given unless there are concerns with the person's vaccination history.
- Pre-exposure prophylaxis may be prescribed by a health care provider for people at risk of close contact with rabid animals:
- Laboratory workers who handle rabies virus.
- Veterinarians, veterinary staff, animal control, and wildlife workers.
- Certain travellers.
- Hunters and trappers in areas with confirmed rabies.
- The health unit DOES NOT provide pre-exposure prophylaxis. A prescription is needed from a health care provider that is filled at a pharmacy.
For more information about bat rabies and your health, contact Health Connection at 705-721-7520 or 1-877-721-7520 Monday to Friday 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. or visit the health unit's website at www.simcoemuskokahealth.org.
