Obama Commutes 61 Prison Sentences To Catch Up On Reform Backlog
The sentences were mostly for nonviolent drug offenses. The White House says those affected would've received lighter punishment under today's laws.By Matt Picht | March 30, 2016
As part of his push for criminal justice reform, President Obama is granting clemency to 61 federal prisoners.
The White House announced the move Wednesday, as Obama met with a group of ex-prisoners who have already had their sentences commuted. The president said the commuted prisoners were serving "the kind of outdated sentences that are clogging up our jails and burning through our tax dollars."
Most of those prisoners are incarcerated for nonviolent drug possession or distribution offenses and are serving sentences which would be dramatically shorter if they were convicted under today's drug laws. Twenty-one of those prisoners were handed life sentences.

Believe it or not, fax as a communication channel continues to appeal to criminals. A trading partner of Deutsche Telekom AG was surprised by CEO Tim Höttges' alleged wish to support a special edition of "The Heavy Industry Magazine" with advertisements. This was sent by fax.
On closer inspection the fraud was easy to spot. The perpetrator or perpetrators had made a lot of effort. However, the sender address did not match the official company address, nor was the fax sent from Bonn, but apparently from Qatar.
Deutsche Telekom is in good company with this scam. Siemens had already described an almost identical case in October.

Muslims prepare to celebrate Eid-ul-Azha tomorrow
Eid-ul-Azha, the second biggest religious festival of Muslims, will be celebrated in the country tomorrow.
Well-off Muslims will sacrifice animals commemorating Hazrat Ibrahim's devotion to Allah as illustrated by his readiness to give up his beloved son Hazrat Ismail.
All necessary preparations for holding Eid congregations have already been completed across the country, including capital Dhaka, Sholakia in Kishoreganj and Dinajpur.
Hundreds of thousands of Muslims will offer prayers there seeking divine blessings, peace and progress for the country.
The main congregation of Eid-ul-Azha will be held at the National Eidgah at 8:00am where President Abdul Hamid is expected to offer his Eid prayers along with hundreds of people from all walks of life.
Besides, a total of five Eid congregations will be held at Baitul Mukarram National Mosque, according to a press release issued by the Islamic Foundation.
The jamaats will be held at 7:00am, 8:00am, 9:00am, 10:00am and 10:45am, the release added.
A separate arrangement is also there at the National Eidgah for women to say their Eid prayers.
Eid congregations will be held at 409 spots in the capital. Of the total, 230 Eid jamaats, including the main Eid congregation, will be held under the Dhaka South City Corporation (DSCC) while the rest 179 Eid congregations will be held under Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC).
According to the organisers, adequate water supply and security arrangements have been made at the Baitul Mukaram National Mosque to facilitate the Eid-ul-Azha prayers.
Meanwhile, law enforcement agencies have taken adequate security measures for peaceful and smooth celebration of the holy Eid-ul-Azha across the country.
The law enforcement agencies were also asked to ensure smooth movement of vehicles on highways, waterways and train routes.
The main city streets and road islands have been decorated with the national flags and banners inscribed with 'Eid Mubarak' in Bangla and Arabic.
Special diet will be served in hospitals, jails, government orphanages, centres for persons with disabilities, shelter homes and vagrant and destitute welfare centres.
State-run Bangladesh Television, Bangladesh Betar and private TV channels are airing special programmes on the occasion.
On the auspicious occasion of Eid-ul-Azha, President Md Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina greeted the Muslim Ummah, including country's people, in their separate messages.
In his message, the President said, "The exemplary love and sacrifice of Prophet Hazrat Ismail (As) for Allah should be reflected on our personal and social life, and this is how peace and amity can be established."
Terming Bangladesh as an example of communal harmony, Abdul Hamid urged everyone to stay alert so that no one can create chaos through misinterpretation of religion.
In her message, the Prime Minister said every year Muslims establish the message of sympathy and equality by distributing meat of sacrificed animals among the poor and relatives.
"Eid teaches us about peace, sympathy, sacrifice and friendship," she said urging the people of the country to create a peaceful Bangladesh through participating in public welfare activities.
Sholakia Eidgah in Kishoreganj and Gor-e-Shaheed Baro Maidan in Dinajpur will host the country's largest Eid congregations.

A number of primary schools in Rugby are finding it hard to accommodate growing numbers of new admissions.
But expansion plans have been put in place by Warwickshire County Council, to include some Rugby schools.
One Rugby primary teacher said: “When schemes for massive housing developments are approved, school needs are not being accommodated.
“Lack of funding means that schools who would be willing to expand simply don’t have the capacity to do so.”
Long Lawford Primary School will be extended in September and Paddox Primary School will take an extra form.
A Warwickshire County Council spokesman said: “We are currently experiencing pressure on primary school places in some year groups in some schools in Rugby, particularly in infant classes (Reception, Year 1 an Year 2).
“However, we do have 108 infant places available now and we have secured a further 45 infant places for this school year.
“We are currently reviewing our provision for 2015/16 onwards to ensure we can continue to keep pace with demand for places.”
Rugby MP Mark Pawsey is confident the pressure on schools will change soon.
“I held a meeting with Warwickshire County Council to consider the arrangements for entry in September 2015. I’m supportive of growth in Rugby, but it’s important to ensure that appropriate infrastructure is provided and that includes the provision of new school places. I’m aware of new developments which should be announced soon, meaning additional facilities in line with expansion.”


Zero West have created a classic British watch brand that celebrates great moments in history through innovative design and engineering.
They had a clear vision of what Zero West represented and knew they possessed the collective skills – i.e. engineering, design, manufacturing and marketing – to turn that vision into reality.
Their first step in the design process was to research watch movements and after extensive evaluation, they decided to base their designs around the superbly engineered and highly developed Swiss ETA movement range.
Next they set about styling and designing their range of highly engineered and ergonomically optimised watches. The vision had to encompass their extensive expertise in aerospace and luxury product design and manufacturing arenas. Their criteria was to design watches that could survive harsh military environments whilst being beautifully styled.
The case components are fully machined from aerospace grade materials using state-of-the-art multi-axis computer controlled machines, which enable them to repeatably manufacture to the highest standards and tolerances. Completed machined parts are entirely hand finished by craftsmen and women to bring them to a flawless polish.
Sapphire glass scratch resistant crystals are custom made to their design and exacting specification with double matched convex curve, thus minimising optical distortion. An anti-reflective coating is applied to the inner surface of the glass to reduce glare and reflections.
Dials and hands are designed in-house and manufactured to the very highest standards. Parts undergo rigorous inspection during all stages of the manufacturing process to ensure that every part is defect free. Where the designs include luminous features, they specify and use only genuine Swiss Tritec X1 Super-Luminova pigments so that the watches have the best possible afterglow performance.
The results speak for themselves in their un-compromised drive for perfection and quality in the Zero West brand.

AMSTERDAM — With populist politicians across the Continent attacking the European Union and negotiations underway for Britain to leave the bloc, the very idea of a unified Europe seems to be under threat. Some artists feel the union needs to rethink its public image and refine its communications strategy to combat these attacks. In other words: to rebrand Europe.
The German photographer Wolfgang Tillmans has teamed up with a friend, the Dutch architect Rem Koolhaas, to encourage artists and other creative people to brainstorm ways for Europe to better present itself to the public.
They put out a call in March for rebranding proposals, asking: “How can the European Union be valued by its citizens and be recognized as a force for good, rather than as a faceless bureaucracy?” They requested ideas “for communicating the advantages of cooperation and friendship amongst people and nations.”
More than 400 proposals from 43 countries poured in. A German fashion designer had an idea for a unisex jacket that would serve as a ticket for public transportation in all 28 member states. A dance troupe with members from Albania, France and Italy proposed filming folk dances at European historical sites that could then be broadcast or viewed with virtual reality goggles. A musician from Hungary proposed a new anthem, and dozens of artists sent sketches for new European Union flags and designs for new euro bills and coins. Several proposals suggested the bloc needed to develop a new sense of humor.
Starting Thursday, about 30 of those who submitted the liveliest ideas will participate in Eurolab, a four-day event led by Mr. Tillmans, Mr. Koolhaas and the architectural historian Stephan Petermann during the Forum on European Culture in Amsterdam. Yoeri Albrecht, one of the forum’s organizers, described Eurolab as “a kind of jam session for the greatest cultural thinkers in Europe to tinker and work with the idea of Europe.”
The ultimate goal of the session “is not about a happy, clappy symbol, song or gesture” to sum up the benefits of a united Europe, Mr. Tillmans said. “It is about coming to a deeper understanding of how this misinformation around the E.U. works and how can we counter nationalism.”
Mr. Tillmans considers himself to be a product of a “Pan-European experience.” He grew up in West Germany, moved to England as an exchange student in the 1980s, and has spent much of his adult life between London and Berlin; his burgundy European Union passport gives him the right to live and work in any member country.
When he saw the “nationalist wave crashing,” as he put it, with the campaign for the referendum in Britain on European Union membership, and subsequent attacks on the bloc by right-leaning politicians in other nations, he said, “I realized that there is an urgency to defend what I have enjoyed and what other previous generations have fought for. I feel that’s my duty as a citizen.”
Mr. Koolhaas said that, having lived through the formation of the European Union, he had “seen and felt the difference between being part of a single nation and being part of something bigger.”
“Anyone who hasn’t experienced that transformation in an almost physical way has a hard time getting excited by it,” he said in an interview in his Amsterdam office. “How do you get excited about a given?”
Mr. Koolhaas said that he ultimately wanted “to find a crystal clear language to talk about Europe and to give it a more coherent narrative.”
“I think that inevitably we also need to look at what’s causing this kind of persistent problem of the difficulty of communicating about Europe,” he added.
The European Union communication department is primarily tasked with informing member states and journalists about legislation and political initiatives. It has recently introduced a campaign called “E.U. and Me” to help younger Europeans learn how they benefit from the union. Carolien Peeters, a project adviser on that campaign, said that she and other officials planned to attend Eurolab, adding that she hoped to leave with new perspective and inspiration.
Mr. Albrecht said that he had organized the conference to give cultural leaders a voice.
“If Europe is a culture in which traditionally artists, philosophers and writers have pointed the way forward, how are these people going to be heard?” he said. “One of the problems with Europe today is that there’s hardly any place where real artists are given a place to talk about the future of the Continent and its culture. It’s a black hole in the heart of the European project.”
Mr. Tillmans said that he wanted the project to move beyond talk and result in concrete action after the end of the conference. He added that it would be finished only when people felt “a sense of ownership with the goals of the E.U.”
Mr. Koolhaas said that Eurolab would not end with a single winning proposal, but rather a range of ideas that could be put into play. He said he wanted to focus on refreshing “the raison d’être of Europe, and describe it in new words that do not repeat the old clichés or used-up rhetorics.”
“It’s a big challenge,” he said.

I've somehow never had to do front brakes / rotors / bearings on a 2wd F-series anything, just wasn't sure if there was anything crazy I'm going to run into here. I found some youtube videos of people going through this, but never on on an 87-91, and never on a single rear wheel vehicle. I've done this 4-5 times on 4x4 bull and brick noses with the hubs, I'm assuming this is easier there is just going to be a lock nut and outer bearing I remove after caliper is off, and the rotor and inner bearing will slide right off. I'm guessing new rotors have inner bearings installed already and I'll just need to get new outer bearings, pack those with grease, and shove it all back together? Any recommendations on brakes / rotors / bearings before I order anything? I downshift a lot but the truck is heavy, I don't want to skimp out on total "parts store" garbage but maybe there isn't much difference anymore.

With summer in full swing now, you might be thinking of a little spending spree to breathe some life into your garden or patio. We all know colour is key when it comes to creating some sunshine of your very own, and summer sales are already starting to appear online but what trends this year are making an impact across the high street and which brands are getting it right? Don’t forget summer looks are equally important for an extension or any interior, especially if you don’t have an outside space of your own. Luckily, we seen a few themes filter through over last few months, so we’ve put together our very own selection for this season which will lighten not only your mood and wallet, but more importantly, your home décor.
Welcome to The Jungle
The Lion King has been remade and green as an interior colour is certainly a favourite for 2019. The Jungle floor mat designed by Beaumont and available at Amara, along with the Jangala velvet cushions from Made are not for the timid home designers out there. These vibrant tropical themed items are daring and bold statement pieces, and an all year-round winner in our books. These large emerald green print palm designs literally bring the outside inside your living area. Luscious and leafy look introduce a tropical conservatory vibe to your home, with velvet and woven textures giving the look some heft and quality. It’s easy to go over the top with this look but even those who may not be as brave can still enjoy a few choice leafy items and still enjoy the drama and adventure Jungle brings to any interior. Coupled with some real foliage from Patch.com, all that’s missing is a parrot and a perhaps machete to make your way through to the kitchen!
To the left of Jungle is the Mexican look, more urban, but as equally colourful, and this is one of my favourite design styles making an appearance this year. Mexico City is one of the top tourist destinations in the world, and those lucky enough to visit will be struck by the vibrant colourful painted buildings, the trees and people who surround them. You will also see a lot of beautiful hand-painted earthenware designs, Aztec motifs, and plastic weaved furniture. The Yuri’s lounge chair from MADE is a fabulous interpretation for your outdoor space. We love the use of bright colours like pink and green throughout, and this astounding chair uses an intricate weave and slim angle legs - a clear throwback to the ’60s - making it the perfect piece when looking to relax during those late summer evenings. If you want to continue your Mexican alfresco look, John Lewis are doing a range of hand-painted terracotta dinnerware including some large platters that look as though they belong to Frida Kahlo herself. Ideal for oven-to-table serving, this oval floral platter is ideal for warming up in the oven.
On a smaller scale, you can add some Mexican style with these two Zehn Festival planters also from MADE. The earthenware masked duo in teal and bright yellow are guaranteed to give your garden a playful finish. If you want something more practical for summer and less homemade however, designer Aaron Probyn has created a line of sleek, lightweight melamine dinnerware for West Elm, making it easy to take the party outside. The heard-wearing teal curved design works well with those looking for a more contemporary look.
Mustard, Mustard, Mustard
Mustard hues have been the go-to shade for a while, but the summer months it’s come in to its own. And boy, are people are embracing it when it comes to soft furnishings, and over the warmer months in our homes. Say goodbye to small pops of mustard – go big or go home, we say! Larger investment pieces of furniture are the way forward, and designers like John Lewis are designing a range of cushions and number of sofa designs this season, allowing your entire rooms to be filled with this fresh colour. If this is far too much yellow for your taste, you could opt for a Lalai mustard rug from Swoon Editions instead. Not only does it say summer, mustard is a versatile shade that works brilliantly with millennial pink, teal and striking indigo blue, and unpretentious white.
Whatever summer look you end up going, just have fun with it!

Summary: There is more to Minnesota than just the attractions of the twin cities. In and around the state there are a number of camping sites just a couple of hours away from Minneapolis. Whether you are camping in tents or an RV the camping is fun, back to nature experience for you and the family.
10 miles south of Brainerd and just two hours from Minneapolis and Minnesota lies Crow Wing Lake campground on the shores of the Crow Wing Lake. 400 acres of lush forest areas make this a hiker’s dream where nature trails are part of the activities. Amenities include picnic tables cemented patios, service restrooms and provisions for campers. One can take part in hiking, softball, volleyball and canoeing. There is even a ground for pets who can roam freely.
Southeast Minnesota is well known for its natural scenic beauty. The best reflection of this feature can be seen in the heart of Bluff County. The Old Barn Resort campground park is spread over 200 acres on the shores of the root river. The park consists of 172 sites and even a bunk house accommodating 38 beds. The Root River and its wild tributaries are the main attraction where one can enjoy classic rainbow trout fishing. The park also has an 18 hole golf with limestone bluffs running all around it.
If you are up to some real rustic camping, then tucked away in the Northwoods is the Bear Head Lake state park. The park has a typical wilderness atmosphere with a good population of wildlife like moose, nesting eagles and wolves. The best part is that it is home to the black bear. Large trees of fir, pine, birch and aspen can make any camper feel the real meaning of camping. You could even hire a canoe and explore along 23 miles of shoreline. An angler’s delight, the river is home to walleye, crappies, bass and trout. Incidentally the park was voted America’s Favorite Park in 2010.
Itasca State Park- A Historic Landmark
Among the smaller parks a must mention is the Schoolcraft state park located along the Mississippi. It has quaint hiking trails. Interstate state park and Taylor Falls is another good choice away from the hustle and bustle of crowded camping. One state park which every camper should visit lies in the Hubbard, Becker and Clearwater counties. This Itasca State Park is the second oldest park in the United States, lying in Northern Minnesota, 25 miles from Bagley and is registered as a natural landmark.
Itasca Lake is named the official source of the Mississippi river and boasts of unchanging virgin red pine forests having trees over 200 years old. The park is home to a number of historic attractions. One can stay at the famous Douglas lodge built in 1911 or choose the Old Timers inn. However camping out in an RV is the best thing to do when you are out in the wild, that too in Itasca. Fishing for northern pike bass and pan fish is one of the popular activities of the park.

New Jersey says that white supremacist extremism is on the rise and poses is one of its biggest threats of terrorism.
According to a threat assessment report released by the state’s Office of Homeland Security and Preparedness, homegrown violent and white supremacist extremism rose from a moderate danger in 2019 to high-level danger in 2020. The reason for the change is based on the increased number of plots, attacks, and recruitment efforts over the last year.
While there were 46 instances of white supremacist propaganda distributed in New Jersey in 2018, that number jumped to 168 instances in 2019.
Out of the 44 domestic terrorist incidents in the U.S. last year, four had connections New Jersey, according to the report. Among the 41 homegrown violent extremists arrested in the U.S. – these are people who are identified in the report as inspired by foreign terrorist organizations – six were apprehended in either New Jersey or New York.
Meanwhile, foreign terrorist organizations, such as Al-Qaeda and ISIS, were both rated as low dangers in the report. Black separatist extremist groups elevated from a low-threat level to a moderate-threat level, mostly due to two people who killed four people and injured three in Jersey City in December and had expressed interest in the Black Hebrew Israelite group.
The state’s threat assessment comes after a report from the Anti-Defamation League revealed that New Jersey ranks among the states seeing the highest volume of white supremacist propaganda circulated.
The ADL documented 143 incidents last year in New Jersey, which is the fifth-highest total in the United States. It also marked a 250% increase from the previous year.
The New Jersey European Heritage Association claims responsibility for much of that propaganda, according to the ADL. The NJEHA, which began in 2018 and operates mostly in central New Jersey, espouses racist, anti-Semitic, anti-immigration and white supremacist values. Patriot Front, a well-known white supremacist group based in Texas, also was responsible for much of the N.J. propaganda, the ADL reported.
The distribution of white supremacist propaganda more than doubled across the country last year, according to the ADL. The circulation of such fliers, posters and banners increased by 120% from 2018.
The ADL's report was supplemented by its ADL H.E.A.T (Hate, Extremism, Anti-Semitism, Terrorism) Map. The interactive tool catalogs a range of hate-inspired incidents, from anti-Semitic incidents to terroristic plots, since 2002.
The map shows 833 hate-inspired incidents in New Jersey between 2002 and 2019.

German automotive specialist Daimler was tasked by authorities to assist in aircraft and aero-engine production during The Great War (1914-1918). In response, the company arranged an aircraft division during the summer of 1915 and soon thereafter began construction of various products including the Friedrichshafen G.III heavy bomber (detailed elsewhere on this site). In 1917, the company introduced their own in-house biplane fighter design in the single-seat "D.I". This development was, in fact, taken into service by the Germans but only six of the type were produced before the end of the war (November 1918). Then followed the twin-seat "CL.I" (proposed escort fighter, prototype only), the single-seat "D.II" (evolved D.I, prototype only), and the single-seat "L11" (prototype only).
The end of the Daimler military aircraft line arrived with the "L14".
As the L9 was an evolution of the earlier L6 biplane fighter so too was the L14 an evolution of the earlier L11. It retained the monoplane parasol-style mainplane which sat above the fuselage and the member was supported through thick struts - enhancing out-of-the-cockpit vision when compared to biplanes of the period. The wing tips had the same swiveling function as the L11, giving better control, while streamlining was apparent in all of Daimler's designs with the L14 being no exception - the oversized spinner sat at the extreme front of the fighter followed by an elegantly-shaped fuselage. A conventional empennage and undercarriage were fitted to round out the basic features.
Like other Daimler designs, the L14 carried the Daimler D.IIIb V8 water-cooled engine, this fitted to the nose in the usual way, driving a two-bladed propeller unit (fixed pitch).
The key change from the L11 was the introduction of a second cockpit for a second crewman acting as an observer/dedicated machine gunner. The two crew were seated in open-air cockpits in tandem.
With its twin crew, the aircraft was expected to fulfill the role of escort fighter, retaining all combat aspects of a dedicated fighter type. The pilot was afforded a single 7.92mm LMG 08/15 air-cooled, belt-fed machine gun in a fixed, forward-firing mounting and synchronized to fire through the spinning propeller blades. At the observer's cockpit was a single 7.92mm Parabellum air-cooled machine gun of similar function though mounted atop a flexible system for more precise aiming.
Only a single prototype was completed by the time the war drew to a close in November of 1918. The Armistice ended the war and left the L14 without a buyer. Daimler attempted to interest the Chilean government during 1919 in a modified, mail-carrying form of its L14 (as the L14V) along with the earlier CL.I (modified to a similar civilian market standard) but these initiatives came to naught.
As test-flown, the L14 had a maximum speed of 128 miles-per-hour and a range out to 435 miles. Rate-of-climb reached 1,060 feet-per-minute. Empty weight measured 1,920lb against an MTOW of 2,800lb. Dimensions included a running length of a wingspan of 40.4 feet.
(OPERATORS list includes past, present, and future operators when applicable)
✓Air-to-Air Combat, Fighter

Revered and idolized, RUSH - Geddy Lee on bass and vocals, Alex Lifeson on Guitar and Neil Peart on drums - give an outstanding performance in this amazing show shot in the world famous Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Filmed on November 23, 2
Taped in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, on the final night of Rush's 2002 Vapor Trails
tour, this double-disc set finds Canada's famous power trio giving its all for 40,000 of the most rabid Rush fans ever gathered under one sky. Sure, the guys are all pushing 50. Bassist-vocalist Geddy Lee strains to hit some high notes, and guitar wizard Alex Lifeson occasionally sounds a tad bored. But by and large they remain at or near the peak of their powerful game--and, from the looks of it, they're having more fun than ever. Drawing from 15 of their 17 studio albums and leaning heavily on Vapor Trails
, they celebrate their stylistic range (progressive-leaning classic rock to dense but melodic post-grunge) and the far broader scope of drummer Neil Peart's considered lyrics.
The concert alone pushes three hours, and disc 2 offers a lengthy documentary and multi-angle options for three songs. The Dolby Digital 5.1 or 2.0 sound quality is generally good, if overly compressed. Peart's drums sound fabulous, in fact: splashy and tight and far more natural than they've sounded on any Rush album, live or otherwise, in years. Not to be missed--and needlessly hard to find--is a 1975 promotional clip for Fly by Night's "Anthem." This set is a must, even for the doubtful. --Michael Mikesell


We have already shown you a red example of the Brabus Mercedes E63 850 and discussed its details. Now let’s check out this matte black version, prepared by the tuner’s Middle Eastern branch in Dubai. This is a suitable color for an executive sedan that packs 850 horsepower and 1,450 Nm of torque.
It might be hard to believe, but Brabus Mercedes E63 850 biturbo is as fast as a McLaren P1. Both cars are limited to 350 km/h, and while the Benz is not as accelerative as the hyper car, it can still manage to go from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.1 seconds, which is mind-bogglingly quick.
This E63 850 is based on a 4MATIC S-Model version. What Brabus does is machine the 5.5 liter bi-turbo engine to 5.9 liter, change the turbos and intercooler, and bolt on a whole lot of high-performance parts. The engine treatment alone cost about 70,000 Euros. It is fairly economical though, at least for a car with such high levels of performance: city 14.4 l/100 km, highway 7.9 l/100 km, combined: 10.3 l/100 km.
Brabus Mercedes E63 850 also gets a subtle aero kit, Brabus wheels, suspension and brakes. Total cost, all in, is 296,000 Euro.

"Ordinary and Extraordinary", the title chosen for Tibby Rothman's recent publication dedicated to the work carried out by the Brooks + Scarpa architecture studio, also fits well with the Magnolia Hill project recently completed by the architects in Los Angeles. The book traces a path that starts from the origins of the studio, originally founded as Pugh + Scarpa in 1991, and continues to its more recent projects, created under the direction of architects Angela Brooks and Lawrence Scarpa. Through a processes involving different areas of architectural design, from landscape design to urban planning, interior design, graphics and the most advanced technologies that are the direct result of the studio's rigorous research in the materials field, the architects of the Brooks + Scarpa strong> studio have designed truly iconic buildings. Functional spaces with well-distributed and clear floor plans which, however, never fail to "surprise", combining ordinary and extraordinary elements.
Magnolia Hill is, no doubt, a clear example of this modus operandi. The architects intervened in an urban fabric that includes other buildings and green spaces, inserting a new volume with a compact appearance, yet able to establish a direct dialogue with its context, replacing a former gas station. The complex is a mixed-use building, although predominantly residential. The ground floor includes retail space and the car parks, while 19 residential units, apartments and double-height lofts are distributed over the three upper floors.
The extraordinary aspect of the project starts from some major elements, to then involve the entire building. The perforated aluminium façade that covers it, for example, creates a "permeable skin" that changes colour during the day and, of course, with the change in the seasons. During the day, it shines in the sunlight, while at night it transforms the building into a lighthouse, visible even from a distance. The skin also reduces the noise from the nearby street and ensures privacy to the spaces, while not limiting the panoramic views of the surroundings. It assumes a brise-soleil function and therefore helps keep the indoor spaces cool, but does not prevent proper natural lighting of the building, as well as favouring its ventilation thanks to the air that passes through the skin. Moreover, the strategic arrangement of the panels, carefully designed by the architects, enhances the shape of the building and its sinuous curves which, on the East side, delimit the open courtyards of the second and third floors. The presence of these open spaces offers an unexpected visual depth and lightens the building’s compact volume, offering safe and welcoming spaces where the inhabitants can meet and socialise, connecting directly to the street below thanks to a path of covered walkways.
Magnolia Hill is a high-performing building, constructed with a strong focus on sustainability and attention to the environment, both externally and internally. For the interior design, for example, the architects chose only furnishings and finishes free of paints and other toxic materials (formaldehyde, VOC), as well as energy-efficient solutions such as the exclusive use of LED lighting.

The Land Rover Range Rover Velar UK: /ˈvɛ.lɚ/ is a British luxury mid-size crossover SUV made by Land Rover. The fourth model in the Range Rover line, the Velar was unveiled on 1 March 2017. The Velar will be released in the summer of 2017. The name Velar had previously been used for a series of pre-production first-generation Range Rovers in 1969.
The Range Rover Velar ushers in a new design language for Land Rover that is influenced by Land Rover's previous design language that began with the Evoque and most recently was used in the Range Rover Sport. Featuring the lowest height of Range Rover models, the new design language will feature smoother lines on the body, and emphasize sportiness and onroad ability, but more important is the new interior design language that begins with the Velar, which will later spread to other Range Rover models. The interior of the Velar will be influenced by that of the I-Pace and will feature three touchscreens, which will control most of the interior features of the Velar. The cockpit of the Velar is more driver-focused and the seating position is lower than any other Land Rover before, as sportiness and on-road performance are top priorities.
The Range Rover Velar was first officially revealed in a series of teaser photos of 22 February 2017, and unveiled at an event at the London Design Museum on 1 March 2017. The official launch was at the Geneva Motor Show on 7 March 2017, with it being made available for order shortly after and the first deliveries making it to dealers in the summer of 2017.
Built on Jaguar iQ[AI] (D7a) platform, the Range Rover Velar shares a number of components with the Jaguar F-Pace, XF, and XE models, notably its aluminium platform and 2,874 mm (113.1 in) wheelbase. The Velar is built at the same factory in Solihull. However, the Range Rover is 72 mm (2.8 in) longer than the F-Pace.
Like its platform-mates, the Range Rover Velar uses Jaguar Land Rover's Ingenium line of four-cylinder diesel and petrol engines in addition to JLR's six-cylinder engines. All 4-cylinder engines are paired with the ZF (8HP45) 8-speed automatic transmission, while all 6-cylinder engines mate with the ZF (8HP70) 8-speed automatic transmission.

Feds give $550K for creek cleanup
A federal grant of $550,000 will help pay for environmental restoration efforts along Willow Creek to help the Black River.
On Oct. 10, Rep. Marcy Kaptur, D-Toledo, announced the supplemental U.S. Environmental Protection Agency award to the Lorain County Commission.
The money will help improve water quality in the Black River Area of Concern on Lake Erie. The grant comes through the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative.
“These funds will help Lorain continue existing efforts to clean up the Black River and create new economic opportunities along on an important coastal waterway,” Kaptur said. “This investment also highlights the importance of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative and why we fought so hard, in a bipartisan way, to ensure this critical program was fully funded.”
The Black River AOC is on the list of toxic hotspots targeted for cleanup under the U.S.-Canadian Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement. The funding is a supplemental award to an existing grant of $600,000, increasing the total amount to just over $1 million, according to Kaptur’s office.
The Lorain County commissioners will use the funding to restore two areas of degradation and impairment in the Willow Creek watershed, which flows to the Black River, according to plans.
Funding will also support work to restore an additional 800 feet of Fortune Ditch, a major tributary of Willow Creek.
Crews also will restore 1.5 acres of riparian wetland habitat at the Margaret Peak Nature Preserve, a former family farm in Eaton Township donated to the township 12 years ago by its late namesake. The nature preserve is home to 170 species of birds, two ponds, five acres of wetlands and 10 acres of forest.
To date, Lorain County, in partnership with Eaton Township, has used the original funding to restore approximately 800 feet of Willow Creek and plant hundreds of live stakes and wetland plants around and along Fortune Ditch.
At the nature preserve, about 21 acres of active agricultural field will be revegetated with native grasses and wildflowers. Overall, funding is expected to establish 1,400 continuous feet of high-quality stream and riparian habitat within the preserve.
Since 2010, GLRI funding totaling $23.5 million — including $16 million from EPA — has funded 20 projects to remediate and restore the Black River AOC, according to data from Kaptur’s office.
Lyn Ickes, watershed specialist in the Lorain County Community Development Department, speaks to members of the Black River Civilian Conservation Corps at the Willow Creek restoration site Park on June 28.

Millennials' biggest worries are war, terrorism, and political tensions, according to a report by Deloitte, one of the largest professional-services firms in the world.War, terrorism, and political tension top the list of fears for millennials, or those ages 18 to 34, living in both developed and emerging markets: "Millennials, especially those in mature European economies, have serious concerns about the directions in which their countries are going," Deloitte says in the report. "They are particularly concerned about uncertainty arising from conflict, as well as other issues that include crime, corruption, and unemployment."
It's perhaps unsurprising that millennials might be concerned about the direction the world is heading in. US President Donald Trump has two key proposals or policies that some fear could start a war or at least spark instability.
The first is his position on trade. Trump is firmly protectionist and in January pulled the US out of the Trans-Pacific Partnership trade deal. The TPP deal, which would lower tariffs for 12 Pacific Rim countries including Japan and Mexico but excluded China, was negotiated under the Obama administration.
Trump has previously said he wants to put US interests at the heart of international relationships. He made the debate about free trade one of the central topics of his campaign after criticizing China, Mexico, and Japan. Trump argued in favour of ripping up trade deals, said the North American Free Trade Agreement was "the worst trade deal in the history of the country," and called TPP "a rape of our country."
At the beginning of December, Trump said the US should view trade "almost as a war" and vowed to implement protectionist policies. He said his administration would renegotiate trade deals and "defeat the enemy on jobs."
On Saturday, Chinese tech billionaire Jack Ma said in no uncertain terms that a retreat from globalisation would only result in trouble.
"If trade stops, war starts," Ma said while in Melbourne to launch Alibaba's Australia and New Zealand headquarters. "We have to actively prove that trade helps people to communicate. And we should have fair trade, transparent trade, inclusive trade."
The second Trump policy that could spark tension is his position on immigration. A judge blocked Trump's executive order temporarily barring immigrants from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the US. That executive order sparked mass protests across the globe and was dubbed "a propaganda gift for terrorists" by International Rescue Committee CEO David Miliband.
Deloitte, however, says millennials should not simply sit and worry. The report says: "The millennials covered by the survey are not mere observers; increasingly and collectively, they have the potential to change the world around them. This is especially true within the workplace—once again, business has the potential to be a force for positive change that shines through as a core belief of the millennial generation."

As Karan Deol gears up for the release of his upcoming film Velle, the actor graced the stage of The Kapil Sharma Show, with father Sunny Deol and co-stars, Savant Singh Premi and Visshesh Tiwari. In the promo, the father-son duo can be seen recalling some good old days, on the other hand, comedian Krushna Abhishek takes a hilarious dig at Archana Puran Singh.
Produced by Ajay Devgn, the comedy film is directed by debutante Deven Munjal, also features Abhay Deol and Mouni Roy in the pivotal. Reportedly, the film is a Hindi adaptation of the 2019 Telugu movie Brochevarevarura.
The new promo of The Kapil Sharma Show, sees the host asking the guests about the three things that can be uprooted from the ground. Sunny Deol starts by saying, carrots, radishes, however, before he says the third thing, someone from behind the camera shouts, ‘hand pump,’ everyone cracks up on the sets, including, Karan Deol and his Velle co-stars Savant Singh Premi and Visshesh Tiwari.
Moving forward, Kapil Sharma asks Sunny Deol’s son Karan Deol if he has ever talked about his girlfriends with his father. As the young actor says yes, the host becomes curious and asks, “Aapne khud bataya hai jaa ke ya pakde gaye the (Did you tell him yourself or were you caught)?”
Not Karan, but the Ghayal star answers that leaves everyone in splits, the actor says, “Mujhe itna pata nahi tha. Jab pata chala toh main…obviously hota hai na ki humari umar mein toh sharmate sharmate hi bohot kuch kar liya tha (I did not know so much. When I came to know… When we were younger, we did a lot of things whilst being shy).”
In the promo, Sunny Deol makes fun of his dancing skills as he shows his signature step, Yaara O Yaara, saying, “Isse achcha koi dance kar sakta hai (Can anyone dance better than this)?”
Later, actor/comedian Krushna Abhishek comes on stage and congratulates Archana Puran Singh for Velle, when host Kapil Sharma corrects him saying, “Ye Toh Karan, Savant and Visshesh ki film hai,” to which Krishna responds, “Inse bada vella kaun hai (Who is more jobless than her)”

This is the most beautiful, gorgeous, wonderful, amazing film I have seen in the past year. Maybe ever. It did what so few films do, which is to convey emotion via images. Why do so few movies do this? Film, after all, is a visual medium. Yes, it is a good way to tell a story. But few movies actually give you firsthand experiences of a character.
The film was amazing for so many reasons. It probably should have won for best cinematography and best director. It presents such a brilliant vision of the story. It goes beyond the narrative of the film into memory and emotion.
I'm still enthralled. I keep thinking of specific parts.
And, I loved Niels Arestrup as Roussin. I am going to look for other movies that he's been in. He was captivating. Perhaps it was his silver hair and blue eyes. Max von Sydow was amazing too. The film was heartbreaking, of course, but ultimately inspiring.
I highly recommend it. It was thoughtful and beautiful. Just really really beautiful.


Many Surf Net And TV Simultaneously
from the it's-all-about-the-multitasking dept
A new study shows that nearly half of all households that have a TV and computer in the same room “frequently” use both at the same time. Only five percent say they never use both at the same time. I know I do often enough, which explains why I want the mirror that lets you watch a TV even if it sits behind you while you’re at your computer. Of course, slightly less than half of people surveyed have both devices in a room together. However, one of the more interesting (though, really not that surprising) findings is that when people are doing both at the same time, their surfing habits usually have little to do with what they’re watching on TV (so much for those “crossover” shows that tried to get peopel to go to the web).

Global Warming Threatens Soil Phosphorus, Says a Soil Scientist from RUDN University
Phosphorus is the second most vital element for plants after nitrogen. In the soil, it is bound into organic or inorganic compounds. The soil cycle of phosphorus has several stages: first, organic substances mineralize; then, phosphorus is transferred to inorganic mineral compounds; after that, it is consumed by plants, and then it returns to the soil with organic plant waste. A soil scientist from RUDN University was the first to find out that global warming can deplete soil phosphorus reserves. To do so, he studied soil samples from the Tibetan Plateau, a place where temperature grows three times faster than on average across the planet.
“The Tibetan Plateau is the largest pasture in Eurasia, and considerable temperature growth in the region combined with excessive cattle grazing and other factors has already led to a visible decrease of soil nutrients. It is vital to understand changes in soil phosphorus dynamics caused by global warming in order to predict the reaction to climate change in the Tibetan Plateau on the ecosystemic level,” said Yakov Kuzyakov, a PhD in Biology, and the Head of the Center for Mathematical Modeling and Design of Sustainable Ecosystems at RUDN University.
The scientist took soil samples from 10 areas across the Tibetan Plateau (3,500 meters above sea level) and the Loess Plateau (about 1,300 meters above sea level). The average annual temperature at the highest sampling point was 0.3℃, and at the lowest 9℃. All plant roots were removed from the samples, and the soil was dried at 105℃. After that, a team of soil scientists separated organic and inorganic phosphorus and measured the activity of phosphatase, a soil enzyme that is produced by plant roots and enables plants to consume phosphate minerals.
It turned out that in the cold soils of the Tibetan Plateau phosphorus is stocked up in the organic form that cannot be consumed by plants, while in the warm soils of the Loess Plateau it is presented in the inorganic form and is available to plants. Phosphatase, in its turn, was more active on higher altitudes. The team saw it as a kind of a protective mechanism: in cold climates, it is better to store phosphorus in organic waste, not in minerals that can be washed out from the soil by rains.
The team also believes that global warming can have a harmful impact on the cycle of phosphorus on the Tibetan Plateau. With the growth of temperatures phosphorus would transition from the organic to the inorganic form, just like it already does in the warm soils of the Loess Plateau. On the face of it, it appears to be a positive development, as it would increase the fertility of Tibetan soils. However, the organic phosphorus stored on the Tibetan Plateau is a product of long years of evolution in a cold climate. When it gets warmer, phosphorus resources would deplete because it would take longer for organic phosphorus to build up than for plants to consume its inorganic form.
The results of the study were published in the Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment journal
RUDN University mathematician together with colleagues from India and France for the first time studied in detail the system of coexistence of three species of living creatures in the wild. The results help to understand what parameters determine the extinction andли survivalof species, and how the number of species changes in space and time.
RUDN University chemist with his colleagues from Portugal has developed two types of coating based on new coordination polymers with silver. Both compounds were successfully tested against four common pathogens.
RUDN researchers have created and tested a method for processing titanium dental implants. It turned out that theanoslos of graphene on the surface of titanium improve its interaction with stem cells,which are placed on the implant so that it better "takes root".Thanks to this method ofprocessing, stem cells are better kept on the surface, multiply and turn into the desired cells.

The Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) on Monday hailed the recent conviction of three members of a prominent family in Misamis Oriental for possession dangerous drugs during the implementation of a search warrant in Balingasab, Misamis Oriental three years ago.
PDEA Director General Aaron N. Aquino expressed appreciation for the decision penned by Judge Gil Bollozos, Judge of the Regional Trial Court (RTC) of the Cagayan de Oro Branch 21 on July 10, 2019 against accused Atty. Michael Roa, and his brother Porferio Roa Jr. for violation of Section 11 (Possession of Dangerous Drugs), Article II of Republic Act 9165, or the “Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002”; and their nephew John Rey Roa for violation of Section 15 (Use of Dangerous Drugs).
“The two Roa brothers were sentenced to suffer the penalty of life imprisonment and pay a fine of Php400,000.00, while their nephew will undergo six months rehabilitation in a government rehabilitation facility being a first time offender”, Aquino said.
To recall that on November 10, 2016, the Roas were arrested during the implementation of a search warrant served by elements of PDEA Regional Office X in Roa Street, Barangay 5, Balingasag, Misamis Oriental.
During the operation, the PDEA operatives seized methamphetamine hydrochloride (shabu) weighing 67.82 grams and several drug paraphernalia.
Michael and his brother Porferio are sons of a former Provincial Board Member of Misamis Oriental, and also brothers to a former mayor of the municipality of Balingasag, Misamis Oriental.
“The unwavering dedication and commitment of prosecutors and PDEA agents as witnesses played a crucial role in presenting air-tight evidence against the two in favor of the government. To see drug offenders, especially high-profile drug personalities, punished with the full force of the law is itself a victory,” Aquino concluded.

I have decided that I am going to start a new series of guest post’s, it’s called “Nothing but Romance” and it is going to be exactly that, an whole range of posts about Romance. Romance itself is such a diverse topic it can cover so many different angles, and you can enjoy romance in so many different forms everything from reading, listening to music and watching films and TV shows. Then there is how romance makes us feel and how romance is so important to have just a sprinkle of romance in our lives. We really don’t celebrate and talk about romance enough, and how it can be so beneficial for us so this is what my Nothing but Romance series is about.
So ‘Nothing but Romance’ is open for all that love Romance and you are a Reader/Reviewer or Author then this is open for you. All posts will be added to the Nothing but Romance page, for everyone to read and enjoy and maybe be inspired by.
The Guidelines – or lack of them!
- You must be a Reader/Reviewer or Writer (or apart of that community, in someway) with an interest in Romance.
- The post must be about Romance – here are just a few examples; Why you read/write romance, Why romance is important for us, What we can learn from romance, What we do to keep romance alive….You get the idea, but it’s up to you.
- Along side your post, I will add a little spotlight on you so this will be a bit of a bio about who you are, links to where people can follow your review/learn about your work and profile picture – just so people can see who you are. (If you could provide these, that would be great)
- The post will be yours to write about what ever you like about romance – yes, I am giving you free reign – as long as it’s not disrespectful, derogatory or abusive and if I feel it is, your post WILL NOT BE POSTED!!
- I will read everything before posting, so nothing will get past me!
If you are an author and you are interested in participating in this new series, you are all welcome. You don’t have to have already been featured on Chicks, Rogues and Scandals to participate, as this new venture isn’t associated with my reviewing.
If you are interested in me reviewing your work then please read my Reviewing Policy first.
I am really excited about how this new project is going to go and what I am going to learn from it, my aim is to have a post out a month dependant on how many requests I get.

We live our daily lives with varying concerns about our wellbeing majorly focused on physical health. Most people like me don't term loneliness and depression a thing to worry about. But contrary to this, Psychologist Guy Winch while giving a TED talk expressed his concerns about the need for every individual to take care of their emotional health.
The 10th of October every year is set aside to celebrate World Mental Health Day and addresses the issue of emotional health below surface level. This year the World Health Organisation is focusing it's efforts around increasing awareness on psychological first aid to commemorate this year's World Mental Health Day. And the question of how technology is helping in this regard comes to mind.
Don't blame me if I am not thinking word of mouth evangelism as the first point of call. Embracing the technology tools available can help make the knowledge about mental health reach more people within a short time frame.
The Nigerian case
Though there are several health startups in Nigeria, very little actually focus on providing access to knowledge about mental health without the need to visit a hospital. For instance, Kangpe and Dokilink are platforms that individuals can use to connect with health professionals to help with various health concerns. While this will help in cases where there's delay in reaching a health facility for full diagnostics, it is a welcomed solution that might have difficulty scaling with more users.
Boko Haram insurgency, prevalent diseases, armed robbery, car accident and all forms of physical assault are few cases out of the many facing several Nigerians. These crisis have physical, social and emotional consequences on their victims when they are not detected early.
Taking care of the physical, social and emotional consequences of crisis facing Nigerians will require existing/new health startups to provide avenues on their platforms that provides psychological aid that addresses mental health.
Social media as a psychological first aid of sorts
Psychological first aid covers both psychological and social support just like general health care doesn't consist of physical first aid alone. Psychological first aid is part of a longer-term effort to ensure that anyone in acute distress due to a crisis is able to receive basic support. Hence, providing such aid requires knowledge and training from professionals.
If we are going to make it easier for people to get psychological aid it is imperative that we make the knowledge readily accessible. A quick reply will be to embrace the use of social media to spread the word about psychological first aid. According to a publication by Robert Whitley, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, McGill University, social media isn't improving the mental health of its users. But a study by Dr. Bridianne O'Dea proves otherwise. Dr. Bridianne says that the popular belief that taking a break from social media sites will help improve mental health is not 100% true.
Online interactions can actually have a positive impact on those experiencing a mental health problem. Social media is a tool that can be used positively or negatively. The focus really should be on how we can use social media platforms to provide psychological and social advocacy for mental health.

MRS. MARY (PETERS) JACKSON
Biographical Review of Cass, Schuyler and Brown Counties, Illinois,
Biographical Review Publishing Co., Chicago, 1892, Page 590 nbsp;
MRS. MARY (PETERS) JACKSON was born in Alleghany county, Virginia, February 18, 1820, a daughter of John Peters. The father was also a Virginian, and was reared and married in his native State; he purchased land, owned slaves and was in very good circumstances at tone time; he endorsed notes for other parties, which he had to pay, and as the sums were heavy his property was swept away. He resided in Virginia until 1825, and then emigrated to Missouri, where he spent the remainder of his days. His wife's maiden name was Catherine Lane, a native of Virginia; she came from Missouri to Illinois, and here passed the last years of her life with her children in Schuyler county. Mrs. Jackson was a young child when her parents removed to Missouri, and at the age of eight years she came to Illinois with her sister and brother-in-law, Allen Persinger. The country was then sparsely settled, deer and wild turkeys were plentiful, and the privations of the pioneer were many. Mrs. Jackson lived with her sister until her marriage, September 3, 1835, when she was united to Jeremiah Jackson. Mr. Jackson was born in North Carolina, November 27, 1807, a son of James and Mary Jackson. He emigrated to Illinois about the year 1826, and was one of the pioneers of Schuyler county. Two years after his marriage he purchased the farm now occupied by his widow and engaged in agricultural pursuits, which he followed until his death in June, 1883. Mrs. Jackson has reared a family of nine children: Martha J. Chitwood, died in Nebraska; Harriet Riley is a resident of Missouri; Andrew J. served in the late war in the One Hundred and Fifteenth Illinois Volunteer Infantry, and died before the war was ended; John was a member of the same regiment, and now resides in Kansas; Jesse, enlisted twice in the late war, and is now a citizen of the State of Washington; Calvin and Garrett live in Nebraska; Emrita Kokenours and Mary McCormick are residents of Schuyler county. Mrs. Jackson belongs to the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which her husband was also a consistent member. Politically he affiliated with the Democratic party.

Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I Capabilities
The Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I was the most formidable battle tank in the world when it made its first appearance in 1942 on the outskirts of Leningrad.
Intended by General Heinz Guderian to be used in tank battalions of 30, which would be attached to army or corps headquarters, the Tiger I was to be thrown into battle as a "stiffener" to back up the Panzerkampfwagen III and IV combinations.
But at their Leningrad and Kursk debuts in late 1942 and July 1943 respectively, Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I tanks were sent into battle in small, unsupported units after inadequate planning.
They were too few and spread too far apart as they attacked Soviet antitank defenses of greater depth than had ever been seen before. Nearly all of these Tigers were destroyed.
But as the Nazi German Army learned to use the Tiger I to its best advantage, its reputation grew to awesome and legendary proportions. Its heavy armor made it practically impervious to frontal attack, and its high-velocity 88mm gun was ready to chastise anything that came within range. The Tiger I's main gun could knock out a T-34 tank at a distance greater than three miles.
In July 1944 one Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I destroyed 25 tanks of the British Seventh Armored Division-Desert Rats -- before it was finally knocked out from behind.
In fact, attack from behind was the only effective way Allied tanks could deal with the Tiger I. Using superior mobility, Allied tanks had to maneuver for an attack from behind or from the side if they had any hope at all of taking a Tiger I down.
The Tiger I's turret traversed very slowly, requiring 15 seconds for a 360° turn. And if the drive motor went down, 750 turns of a hand crank were needed to accomplish the same turn.
Other major drawbacks to the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I were its limited range, 62 miles, and low speed, 24 miles per hour.
The Tiger I had eight overlapping road wheels on each side in a staggered pattern (some toward the inside of the tank, some toward the outside). Snow and ice could become packed in the treads and wheels and freeze overnight in the cold Russian winters. The Soviets quickly learned to attack at dawn, when the Tiger's tracks were frozen solid.
Despite its heavy armor and main gun, the Panzerkampfwagen VI Tiger I was phased out of production in August 1944 after a production run of about 1,300. Even so, it saw service on every front from North Africa to the eastern front.
