Performing a hard reset is a process that reverts your device back to its factory default settings. Depending on the device, the process may vary slightly, but the overall steps are similar.
First, be sure to back up any important data that you may have stored in your device as this reset process will delete all data stored.
Once the back up is complete, locate the reset button or combination of buttons on your device. Check the owner manual for specific instructions on how to locate the reset button combination as this varies from device to device.
To begin the reset process, turn off your device and press the reset button combination simultaneously. Generally, you will press the buttons for several seconds while the device is turned off, and then release.
Once the reset process is complete, which may take a few minutes, the device will then reboot and the default settings will be restored.
At this point you can then choose to reinstall any saved data or run the device without any extra software.
Does doing hard reset delete everything?
Yes, a hard reset (or factory reset) will delete everything from your device. A hard reset will reset your device to its factory settings, removing all of your personal data. This includes your apps, photos, files, settings, and accounts.
Your device will be cleared of all personal information, so make sure to back up anything that you don’t want to lose before you do a hard reset. Keep in mind that a hard reset won’t remove things like viruses or malware, so it’s always a good idea to run a virus scan first.
How do I factory reset my phone without the password?
If you need to factory reset your phone without the password, the first step is to find out whether or not you are able to unlock your phone. Depending on the type of phone you have, you may be able to reset the phone without needing the password.
For example, some iPhones allow users to reset their phones without needing to enter a password. To do this on an iPhone, you will need to press and hold the home button and the power button for about 15 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
Once you see the logo, release the buttons and the phone should boot up to the setup wizard.
If your phone does not allow this type of reset, you may need to find out what type of security measures you have on your phone. Some phones require users to enter a PIN or pattern before they can reset the phone.
If this is the case, you will need to use the security measure to unlock the phone before you reset it.
If you are still unable to reset your phone, you should contact the customer service of your phone’s maker to find out if there is another way to factory reset your phone without the password.
What is difference between factory reset and hard reset?
The key difference between a factory reset and a hard reset is that a factory reset erases the device software to its original configuration as when it first left the factory, while a hard reset refer to a reboot of a device.
A factory reset involves completely erasing all the data, user profiles, and any installed applications. This type of reset would be used when a device is so badly corrupted that it cannot be rebooted or when it needs to be reset to the factory settings before it can be sold and re-used.
A hard reset, on the other hand, involves just restarting the device and reloading the operating system and any other software. In other words, a hard reset is just like rebooting your computer, while a factory reset requires a complete reinstallation of software.
How do you force restart an iPhone?
To force restart your iPhone, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake (power) button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo. This method works for all iPhones, including iPhone 8 and above, which do not have a Home button.
If you have an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus, press and hold the Volume Down and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time for at least 10 seconds.
Force restarting your iPhone will not cause you to lose any data, so you do not need to worry about performing a backup before doing so. It is simply a way to reset your device and clear out any temporary files.
How do I bypass the lock screen on a Moto G?
If you’re trying to bypass the lock screen on a Moto G, there are a few different methods you can try. The first is to try using a hard reset of the device. This can be accomplished by turning off the device and then pressing the volume down key and the power button simultaneously until the device boots into recovery mode.
From the recovery mode, you can select the “wipe data/factory reset” option. Another method is to try a ‘forget pattern’ option which some devices have as a security feature. The ‘forget pattern’ option allows you to enter a backup PIN for the phone if you have forgotten the pattern.
The final method is to try using an unlocking software program. This type of software typically requires you to enter your device information, and if the unlocking code is found, you can use it to access your phone.
What is the master code to unlock any phone?
Unfortunately, there is no “master code” to unlock any phone as the unlocking process differs from phone to phone, depending on the type of phone being used and the individual carrier. Furthermore, each carrier has different systems for unlocking their phones.
Generally, when unlocking a phone, the user must request the code from the network carrier, which will allow them to unlock their device in order to use a different network. This process can take a few days and may require providing identifying documents.
In some cases, it is possible to purchase codes online that can unlock certain types of phones, however, it is important to make sure the code is legitimate and not a scam, as they can range in price and legality.
What is the default PIN for a Motorola phone?
The default PIN for a Motorola phone is generally either “0000” or “1234. ” Depending on the model of the Motorola phone, either of these codes should work as a default PIN. In most cases, the default PIN is “0000,” but some models, such as the Moto G, use “1234” instead.
If the default code does not work, the user should contact Motorola customer support. They should be able to provide the user with the correct PIN or help them reset their security settings. It’s important to remember that any PIN or security settings that the user sets must be securely known by them only.
Why is my Motorola phone not powering on?
Your Motorola phone not powering on can be caused by several reasons. One likely reason could be that the battery may have died and needs to be recharged or replaced. Since most Motorola phones require a Li-ion or Li-polymer battery, you will need to purchase a compatible battery to replace the old one.
You can find compatible models on various websites and outlets.
Another possible reason could be that your phone may have a software issue and may need to be reset. To reset the device, you can either remove the battery and press and hold the power button for at least 30 seconds, or you can use the factory reset option in the settings menu.
It is also possible that your phone may have been damaged due to physical or water damage. Even if the damage appears to be minor, it can cause the internal components to malfunction and your phone will not power on.
In this case, you may need to bring your phone to a professional repair service.
Regardless of the reason, if your Motorola phone is not powering on, you should attempt troubleshooting it before attempting to replace or repair it.

PARIS — The Iranian director of “The Salesman,” which is nominated for an Academy Award for best foreign-language film, won’t attend next month’s Oscars ceremony. The Metropolitan Museum of Art worries that exhibitions, archaeological surveys and excavations with institutions in the Middle East will have to be canceled or curtailed. And the Sundance Institute Theater Program may have to scale back its exchange program with artists from the Middle East and North Africa.
As President Trump’s executive order seeking to keep many foreigners from entering the United States sowed widespread confusion throughout the immigration system and at airports around the globe, cultural figures and institutions were calculating how the new policies would harm their art and missions.
“Scholarly exchanges and international collaborations are key to our ongoing work, and we are very concerned that a number of programs we have in place could be threatened, just at a time when the world needs more, not less, exchange and mutual understanding,” said Thomas P. Campbell, the director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
The executive order, which was signed by Mr. Trump on Friday, blocks entry into the United States for 90 days for citizens of seven predominantly Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. It also suspends entry of all refugees for 120 days and bars Syrian refugees indefinitely. Artists — and citizens — from the affected countries legally residing in the United States said they did not dare leave for fear of being denied re-entry.
In the most high-profile case, Asghar Farhadi, who directed “The Salesman,” said in a statement on Sunday to The New York Times that he would not attend the Oscars ceremony next month even if he were granted an exception to the visa ban.
He had planned to attend the Feb. 26 ceremony and to use the megaphone the Oscars provides to call attention to a visa ban he called “unjust.” But new regulations announced on Friday presented “ifs and buts which are in no way acceptable to me even if exceptions were to be made for my trip,” he said.
In his statement, Mr. Farhadi, whose film “A Separation” won an Oscar for best foreign-language film in 2012, said he condemned “the unjust conditions forced upon some of my compatriots and the citizens of the other six countries trying to legally enter the United States of America and hope that the current situation will not give rise to further divide between nations.”
Mr. Farhadi’s film centers on a Tehran couple starring in an amateur production of Arthur Miller’s “Death of a Salesman,” and includes subtle critiques of censorship in Iran. The film’s screenplay had to be approved by the Iranian government, which also chose the film as the country’s official submission to the Academy Awards.
Marcel Mettelsiefen, the director of “Watani: My Homeland,” an Oscar-nominated documentary, said the film’s Syrian protagonist, Hala Kamil, would not be able to travel to the Oscars ceremony because she has a Syrian and a German refugee passport.
The film follows Ms. Kamil and her children as they seek asylum in Germany. “It is very sad she cannot come,” Mr. Mettelsiefen said. “She is the star of the movie.”
Ms. Kamil has been a frequent visitor to the United States, even giving a speech on the plight of refugees at the United Nations in August.
Hussein Hassan, the Kurdish director of the feature “Reseba — The Dark Wind,” which was to have its North American premiere at the Miami Film Festival next month, said he had withdrawn his visa application to protest Mr. Trump’s policy.
The film’s producer and one of its screenwriters, Mehmet Aktas, said the movie, a drama about a bride-to-be who survives an attack by ISIS on her village, showed that not all Muslims are terrorists. Festival organizers have said they still planned to show “The Dark Wind.”
Philip Himberg, the artistic director of the Sundance Institute Theater Program, said he feared the visa ban would shut down a fruitful workshop exchange for theater professionals from the Middle East and North Africa. Since it started in 2012, about 60 Arabic-language professionals have attended the workshops in Utah, Wyoming, Berlin and Morocco.
“It shatters my heart,” Mr. Himberg said. He added that the program was supported by a grant from the Doris Duke Charitable Trust, and the Sundance Institute didn’t know what would happen if the artists the grant was intended to bring to the United States could no longer travel there.
The ban is also expected to affect museums. Curators at the Metropolitan Museum of Art said the order could disrupt or limit its loans to and from the affected countries and would restrict travel by colleagues and artists to the United States for education, research, fellowships, workshops, conferences and other training. They said it might also scuttle their hoped-for archaeological surveys and excavations in partnership with Iraq and Iran, and a joint publication project on Nishapur with Iran.
Mr. Trump’s move is “particularly ironic, given that the earliest formulation of what we recognize today as the concept of habeas corpus was expressed in the Codex Hammurabi, an ancient Iraqi monument about justice, set up in public so that all citizens could access their rights,” said Kim Benzel, the curator in charge of the museum’s Department of Ancient Near Eastern Art.
“It was one of the many contributions of Iraq to the world, and in this case, to democracy itself,” she added. “Where and how did things go so wrong?”
A spokeswoman from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art said: “We have no idea yet how this might affect us, but we do have at least one important exhibition of art mostly from Iran that would be impacted by travel restrictions that would make it difficult to do research and work with artists and authors, as well as borrow works of art that would require couriers from collections in Iran.”
President Trump’s order has already complicated a coming production of “Hamlet” by Waterwell, a nonprofit theater in New York. One of the actors, Mohammad Aghebatian, an Iranian citizen who trained at Yale, is now in Iran and uncertain whether he will be allowed to return to the United States.
“This is completely and utterly un-American,” said Arian Moayed, an actor who is a founder and an artistic director of Waterwell. “He doesn’t know what to do — we’re trying to find him a lawyer.”
Shari Rezai, a concert promoter in Los Angeles who specializes in contemporary Persian music and brings artists from Iran and elsewhere to the United States, said she had six shows planned through June, and canceled all of them three days ago, when she heard about the impending ban. She worried that her seven-year-old business was now at risk.
“Tonight I have a concert in L.A.,” she said, with an American-born Iranian artist, Fared Shafinury, whose band has some immigrant members. “I’m just so afraid that this is going to be my last concert.”
Lawyers are struggling to understand what the visa ban means. “There’s a lot in here that is subject to interpretation,” said Jonathan Ginsburg, an immigration lawyer in Virginia who specializes in visas for artists and performers. He said the language made clear that nationals from the seven countries “appear to be banned for 90 days, even if they have applied for and received a U.S. visa.”
He added: “The flip side is that we may not appreciate just how broadly worded these things are until someone decides to interpret them more aggressively.”
For now, many artists from affected countries who are legal residents in the United States say they can’t leave the country for fear of not being able to return. Shahpour Pouyan, an Iranian artist living in New York under a green card whose work is at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, said he would be unable to travel to Toronto for a group exhibit or to Paris for a solo exhibition in March.
“I am stuck here. I can’t leave the country and as an artist it means I can’t make shows and present my works internationally,” he wrote in an email message. “This is such a mess.”

[Review] McBride makes music of the people, for the people
It still amazes me that McBride — who I first encountered as a 17-year-old arrival on the New York scene, fresh from his native Philadelphia — will celebrate only his 41st birthday at the end of this month. Not only does it seem as though he has been on the scene forever now, but he has essentially been omnipresent.

My 8 “Jobs” as a Music Career
Whenever I go to a party and someone asks me what I do for a living, I’m always fascinated by their reaction to my “musician” answer. Without saying anything, their facial reaction and body language to my answer always insinuates, “no no no…what do you REALLY do?” For many people, it’s hard to believe that you can make a living being a musician. After all, if you’re not famous, how do you make money?
Well the easy answer for me is I do a lot! Friends always tell me that I’ve got so much going on and they can’t keep track, I can sometimes relate to that;)! So I decided to use this post to allow you a peek into my “Life.docx” file and my 8 jobs in music:
1. Film & TV Cues. Since Lisa and I started working full-time as partners on this music business stuff, this has been our main focus (I compose, she does the admin and sales). Making a living off of recorded or live music is becoming harder and harder. It’s the sync and licensing of music for TV, Film and Video Games which continues to still enjoy a thriving industry. After a year at this, I’ve composed over 70 cues.
2. Individual Song & Cue Collaborations. I often write music with others. It’s a great way to get new ideas and perspectives in your own sound while using each others’ business contacts to further the music.
3. Side Projects. These writing projects don’t necessarily make money but it’s important to do nonetheless just for my own sanity and creative outlet. At present, this includes writing a musical, music for a short art film, and various contemporary classical concert music projects.
4. Recordings. So far, I’ve done 4. And I want to do more. Grants are being applied for…stay tuned.
5. Shop Concert Music to Performers. If you want people to play your music, they need to know about it. So I work the phones (really the internet and social media;)).
6. Perform. I only do this occasionally these days as I write more than I play. But when the performance opportunity is all setup for me, I definitely love to do it and enjoy the practicing.
7. Educational Activities. This includes teaching my private piano and theory students, presenting workshops and master classes and adjudicating at music festivals.
8. ORMTA. I’m presently Provincial President. It’s a volunteer position but I happily treat it as a job. My time on ORMTA’s Council goes to 2018…at that time this jobs list will go from 8 to 7, once that happens, look out world for what I will unleash then!
This is a doc that I look at daily to remind me what I’ve got going on. It might seem strange to have to read something to remind yourself of what your work is. But I’m weird that way, if it’s not written down, it’s not important and I won’t do it. More importantly, it reminds me of who I want to be and stay focussed on that.
So it’s all well and good to know what you do, but the more important question is how do you do it? Next week’s blog post will be dedicated to that…stay tuned!

The year is 1773.
The curtain rises for a new Christmas play by David Garrick in the famous Drury Lane Theatre in London, England.
The author, David Garrick (1717-1779), was a well-known Shakesperean actor, producer, dramatist, poet, and manager of the theater on Drury Lane. During his long career in the theater, Mr. Garrick introduced a more natural acting style and reformed the theater experience.
242 years later, this same play "A Christmas Tale" comes to life again with the help of Sam Henderson; a modern day actor, writer, director and adjunct professor in Baylor University's Department of Theatre Arts. He is reading from the original play housed in the Central Libraries Special Collections.
This particular play in its entirety is available to you through the Baylor Digital Collections. Click here You are also invited to visit the library to see these wonderful pieces of history in person. More information can be found on our webpage:
If you'd like to know more about our wonderful reader, Sam Henderson, you can read more on the department's webpage Sam Henderson.
We hope you've enjoyed this visit into our wonderful treasures. May your holiday season be blessed and full of peace.
We are so grateful for Sam Henderson's help and talents and Stephen Bolech's expertise as our audio engineer. Many thanks!

A fabulous cottage, furnished beautifully, with absolutely nothing lacking. John and Alison have thought of everything, from the welcome note to us (and our two dogs!) to the treats for them, and a welcome pack for us which included cake/eggs/milk/bread etc. There was even a shoe horn in the under stairs cupboard!
The instructions for all the electrical items/heating/water etc were perfect, and there was a folder with very comprehensive instructions on what to see and do locally, where to eat, emergency services etc.
There were games/jigsaws/books/DVDs for everyone from babies to adults.
A perfect cottage for dogs too. Our two Golden Retrievers loved it. Walks from the door, and they could also run off lead at Whittington Castle, just ten minutes walk away. A visit to Oswestry Old Fort was also great for them, as they could run free there too, so long as you stayed within the English Heritage footpath, as this kept them away from any livestock. The kitchen and conservatory were perfect for them too, as the floor was quarry tiled, so could be mopped out when they came in mucky from a walk. And as there was a stairgate at the bottom of the stairs, they could sleep in there overnight, and still know that we weren't far away. Several local pubs were dog friendly too, and in fact fed them chicken or treats and brought them water too!!
I couldn't recommend Pear Tree Cottage enough. Thanks John and Alison for keeping the cottage so beautifully.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Police are investigating after a man was fatally shot at the Beecher Terrace housing complex Tuesday afternoon.
The victim has not yet been identified, but police believe he was in his 30s. Police say he was found on the ground in the middle of the street.
According to MetroSafe dispatchers, it happened about 1:30 p.m. at Fisk Court and Wilberforce Court near south 10th Street. We're told the victim, a man who appears to be a man in his 30s, has died.
A witness told WDRB News he believes this may have been a drive-by shooting because he says he heard about eight to ten gunshots and saw a car speed away.
LMPD spokeswoman Alicia Smiley told us it's too early to know if this was a drive-by shooting.
Police are still looking for suspects. Anyone with information is asked to call the LMPD crime tipline at 574-LMPD (574-5673). Callers can remain anonymous.

ROAD – associated with horizontality, expansive, causes flattening.
FOREST – a living network, vertical, and thick, creates its own climate.
TREE TRUNK – its rings are a record of time, circular and layered, they become visible only when the tree is cut, at the moment of its death.
FALLING – the change between vertical and horizontal states associated with becoming dead and motionless, but also with becoming transportable.
STACKING – the piling up of different materials and commodities, which previously belonged to different contexts, in order to store and transport them. This results in a strange form of flattening. Flattening is an entropic process.
FLOWING – mobility, resistance to containment, but also relating to leaking and flooding.
WORDS – can be seen as flat, and flattening, insofar as they come with the building of roads. Can be seen as vertical, insofar as they capture the complexity of local habitats.
FOLIAGE – immersive environment, impenetrable surface to blend with and disappear.
VERTICALS – generally static, articulating long, deep time, associated with life.
HORIZONTALS – generally mobile, articulating fast time, associated with death, flattening.
ROOTS and root-like structures – should never become visible, or brought to the surface. When they do become visible, they form a network of marks that can signify stasis and death.
Durn That Road (2019) by Annabel Howland is a work that witnesses a journey to an island and its people, gestures, words, animals and plants. The installation consists of material collected on journeys to Borneo. A constellation of vertically and horizontally organized photos and film stills, field recordings, an interview and documentary excerpts together compose an installation that outlines the invisible flows of capital that determine the visible devastation of a landscape.
Durn That Road does not narrate, it is not exactly a travelogue, nor is it a field study. It articulates the visibility of the complex forces that determine an unfolding ecological disaster in a grid-like structure composed of horizontal and vertical planes. The verticals are formed by a constellation of aerial views showing expansive networks of roads that penetrate the land, but lead nowhere. The logging sites and roads form a strange flat, root-like structure that grips the land, transforming it into a barren, surveyable territory. The vertical collages also show aerial views of the forest as a thick surface of tree crowns; a deep green, soft pattern. They suggest the structure of sedimentation, or geological layers that form in deep time and resonate with the living time of one of the oldest rainforests on the planet.
The installation includes field recordings of the sounds of the forest and their modulation through the process of deforestation. The ambient sound of the forest changes in texture depending on where the logging sites are, so one can literally hear the flattening in the texture of sounds. The voice of children reading a dictionary of a local language Sa’ban, resonates with the sounds of a land gradually losing its voice with the destruction of its forests. In a filmed interview shown on a screen, three Sa’ban people discuss how the new road connecting their village to the city is changing communal living and their relationship to money. The interview captures a similar process of flattening, or erosion, that affects the delicate social networks of extended families and their everyday lives. The semi-nomadic use of land by family groups gradually transforms into a more settled use of the land, often nearer the road. Roads improve access to education and paid work, but also to building materials, leading to a dilution of social relations as families begin to live in individual houses instead of communal longhouses. Game hunted in the forest can now be sold, instead of shared with the community. The horizontal penetration of the land for the use of its resources causes its social textures to fragment and flatten, and perhaps, over time, brings about the gradual loss of complexity in its local languages.
An enlarged bulk cargo distribution diagram and pages from a ‘cargo notes’ instruction manual from 1964 describe how raw materials from across southeast Asia – timber, latex, apricot kernels, frozen rabbits, chicken eggs, and many other commodities – were to be stowed in ships’ holds for export to Europe. Composed of verticals and horizontals, the diagram and notes articulate a language of capture, of translation of the land into goods and materials, and point to the shallow, accelerated time of trade, the export of materials, and to financial flows. Horizontals and verticals form the generic infrastructure of grids, and grids establish an abstract, homogeneous flatness that is very different from the folds and crevices of a space understood as an environment or a habitat. Living trees become horizontal logs. Verticals converted into horizontals mark a loss of complexity; a transformation of complex, dense planes of a habitat into surveyable surfaces and, hence, death.
Horizontals and verticals relate to different types of visibility and embodied experiences. Being in the forest, in an environment composed of vertical trees, implies a relation of immersion. In contrast, a view from above captures the land as a horizontal, observable, mappable surface. This cartographic view establishes a territory as an abstract plane, it “abstracts” it into a virtual model, an informative capture of a territory with its network of roads. But in Durn That Road the photo collage of aerial views of the networked marks of the logging roads are not a representation of the roads on the island; they are very concrete and in a sense tautological; they are roads with no other function than the extraction of resources, and they signify nothing other than their own presence. They chart a map of disaster, not a place; they are a mark of destructive and invisible flows of financial capital and corruption.
The composition of vertical and horizontal planes resonates with the rhythm of two temporal perspectives, more precisely with their clash: the accelerated time of extraction and destruction and the deep time of one of the oldest rainforests on earth. This marks a crisis of human self-understanding under the conditions of technological modernity, which brings acceleration and complexity, but is also an entropic process of flattening. Durn That Road does not exactly produce a documentary or investigative report. Rather, it creates an open fragment that witnesses different aspects of forces that simultaneously build and ruin. And it witnesses the accelerated rhythm of resource extraction, which results in a future that fails before it is reached. Howland’s practice observes and articulates the visibility of speculative interactions between a range of complex systems which, though not usually visible, are always omnipresent.

President Joe Biden has vowed a taxpayer-funded “moonshot” bid to cure cancer, but his own cancer charity spent millions on staff salaries and nothing on actual research, according to tax filings.
Borrowing a phrase from former President Kennedy, Biden on Monday called on America to “end cancer as we know it.” Biden, who often talks about his son Beau’s 2015 death from cancer, spoke on the 60th anniversary of JFK’s later-fulfilled pledge to put an American on the Moon.
“When I was elected president, I was determined to supercharge ‘Cancer Moonshot’ as a central effort in the Biden-Harris administration,” he said. “To create a cancer research and care system that most people think we already have, but don’t realize until they already have cancer that we don’t.”
Biden to cancer patients standing on a balcony above him: "Don't jump from up there!"pic.twitter.com/uQ6kPxI3Kn
— Daily Wire (@realDailyWire) September 12, 2022
In 2017, Biden and wife Jill founded The Biden Cancer Initiative with a stated goal to “develop and drive implementation of solutions to accelerate progress in cancer prevention, detection, diagnosis, research and care and to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes,” according to its IRS mission statement.
“Every minute, every day matters to patients and we must bring that same sense of urgency to cancer research and care systems,” the Bidens said in a statement announcing the charity’s launch. “We are joining everyone who spends their days thinking about preventing cancer, about better understanding its biological basis, about bringing early detection and education to all communities, about developing new treatments and therapies, and about caring for patients and their families through some of the hardest days anyone faces. We are on your team. And we are proud to be working alongside you.”
The board of directors featured a handful of prominent medical and pharmaceutical professionals as well as ESPN reporter Erin Andrews and Black Eyed Peas member and cancer survivor Jimy “Taboo” Gomez.
In its first two years, the initiative took in nearly $5 million, and spent more than $3 million on staff salaries, according to a 2020 New York Post report. The charity’s president, Gregory Simon, earned $224,539 the first year, and got a raise to $429,850 the next, according to the report.
Simon was a former Pfizer executive and had led the Obama White House’s cancer fighting panel, which was called the “Cancer Moonshot Task Force.” The task force’s chief of staff, Danielle Carnival, earned $258,207 in 2018.
The Biden charity spent $56,738 on conferences and $59,356 on travel the first year, figures which swelled to $742,953 and $97,149 the following year.
Simon at the time of the report defended the lack of grants, saying the charity’s goal was to help ensure treatment for poor people and minorities.
The charity halted operations after two years as Biden prepared to enter the 2020 presidential race and was unable to help raise funds.
“We tried to power through but it became increasingly difficult to get the traction we needed to complete our mission,” Simon told The Associated Press in July 2019.

Earlier this year three hatching eggs were placed in the nests of adult Whooping Cranes at our headquarters. The adults, although not the chicks’ biological parents, adopted the newly-hatched young as their own. The three chicks spent the summer with their foster parents, learning how to forage for food and spot predators in the sky – all in preparation for their eventual release to join wild cranes in Wisconsin. We tracked the chicks’ hatching through our annual Egg Score Card, proudly announcing their names – “Zion,” Smoky,” and “Bryce” – with each successful hatch (our naming theme this year is U.S. National Parks in celebration of the Service’s centennial).
This fall two of the three chicks have been released and the third is not far behind. The young cranes are part of a new effort by the Whooping Crane Eastern Partnership to raise chicks by adult cranes for release, with the idea that the chicks will learn more natural behavior from their feathered parents than costumed staff (click here to learn more about parent-rearing). When they are ready for release, the chicks are transferred from our headquarters to sites near existing wild Whooping Cranes. Once released, our goal is for the chicks to associate with the wild cranes and learn their migration route from the adults.
The oldest of the three chicks, Zion, or no. 69-16 (the chicks are given a number for their ID in the wild), was released in Dane County in southern Wisconsin near one of last year’s parent-reared Whooping Cranes, 14-15. The two cranes were seen in the same area off and on throughout October, but were never closely associating. On October 24, 69-16 left on migration with Sandhill Cranes. She stopped at Jasper-Pulaski Fish and Wildlife Area in northwestern Indiana, a major crane migration staging area, and after several days continued on to Wheeler National Wildlife Refuge, an important wintering area for Whooping Cranes in northern Alabama. 69-16 is fitted with a satellite transmitter that tracks her location, so we will continue to monitor her location throughout the fall and winter.
71-16, also known as Smoky, was released near adult Whooping Cranes in Green Lake County, Wisconsin in late September, but in early October, she flew southwest to Marquette County. She has spent most of October and the beginning of November in Marquette County with Sandhill Cranes. She has not yet started migration, but she is being regularly monitored via a satellite transmitter.
The third Whooping Crane chick, 70-16 or Bryce, is still waiting to be released. Shortly before he was scheduled to be released, he hurt his wing. The wing is healing nicely, but we are waiting until it is completely healed before we release him. We hope he will join the wild flock sometime in late November.
In addition to the three chicks hatched at our headquarters, nine other parent-reared Whooping Crane chicks that were hatched at the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center in Maryland were released in Wisconsin this year. This young cohort is joining the reintroduced Eastern Migratory Population and hopefully will contribute to this population’s success, ultimately helping to save this species from extinction!

I would be surprised if just about everyone hasn’t heard the news: Social Security and Medicare programs are running out of money faster than previously projected. Many people are worried about Social Security’s long-term prospects. In fact, those fears may be prompting even more workers than normal to claim benefits at age 62 (the earliest age allowed). However, by doing so, you may be accepting a guaranteed monthly payout that is permanently reduced by as much as 25% from what your full retirement age benefit could be. Before making such a life-altering decision, you may wish to take into consideration the following:
1) Understand, the longer you wait to claim benefits, the greater your monthly benefits should be;
2) Don’t let the media attention and frenzy around the sustainability of these programs scare you into taking actions that you would not otherwise take . . . program reforms typically occur slowly and are announced years in advance and phased in over even more years;
3) Take the time to calculate how much income you may need in retirement and determine how much of that income will come from your private savings, pension, and various retirement funds.
Ultimately, only you can make a knowledgeable decision regarding when it is the appropriate time for you to retire and start taking your Social Security benefits. However, before doing so, make sure you sit down and “crunch” all the numbers so that you may make the best decision for your situation and yourself.
For more information about assessing your social security benefits and how to best plan for their use in your retirement, read this article from the Wall Streeet Journal’s MarketWatch or their SmartMoney blog.

Leader of opposition Debabrata Saikia said tourism had dwindled since Chopra was made ambassador.
Assam tourism minister defends Priyanka Chopra; accuses critics of seeking cheap publicity
Mumbai - 21 Feb 2018 15:42 IST
Updated : 15:56 IST
A day after opposition leaders from Congress slammed the BJP-led state government for appointing actress Priyanka Chopra as the brand ambassador for Assam tourism, state tourism minister Himanta Biswa Sarma has defended their choice and also hit out at the opposition accusing them of seeking cheap publicity, as reported by IANS.
Chopra, who was appointed by the Assam government as the brand ambassador of the Assam Tourism Development Corporation in 2016, has drawn severe criticism as the film star remained silent even as the worst ever floods hit the state last year.
“A section of Congress legislators in Assam is trying to get cheap publicity out of the issue. When we receive felicitation on some stage, do we go wearing dhoti, the traditional dress of Assam or wearing pants and shirts? If someone comes to Assam from abroad will he be felicitated after wearing dhoti?," Sarma told a reporter outside the House on Tuesday.
The host of opposition leaders not only objected to the choice of Chopra as brand ambassador, but were also critical of the actress not wearing the traditional Assamese clothing in the photoshoot for the calendar of Assam Tourism Development Corporation.
"I think that (wearing an Assamese traditional dress) would have been appropriate for the actor to promote the culture and tradition of Assam,” said Congress leader and the leader of the opposition Debabrata Saikia said in the House.
Saikia also pointed that despite having Chopra as brand ambassador, tourism continued to dwindle in the state. He said, “The data placed in the House today revealed that while 28,419 foreign tourists visited the state during 2016-16, only 9,421 foreign tourists had visited the state in the current fiscal (till October 2018).”
Chopra was appointed Assam tourism ambassador last year. The Quantico star had courted controversy when she wrongly referred to Sikkim as a state struck by insurgency.

The process has begun. We're digging up some of the yard in order to expand the garden. It's coming along beautifully and very quickly. It helps that the soil is so great and that 2 people are doing the work, especially when one of them is Dutch and extremely skilled with a shovel. It also helps to not be striking rocks, bottles or bricks with every jab of the shovel, which was the horror and frustration of digging our garden in Mexico. Now that took a looooong time.
It's not a big garden by any means, but it's super cute and gets full sun and I can't wait to start planting! Climbing sweet peas, arugula, spinach and maybe even shallots will be the first to go in, hopefully this weekend. And soon....tomatoes!!!
It's almost done but still needs more weeding, hoeing, fertilizing and a little stone pathway so we can collect the fruits of our labour without damaging the garden. I'd also like to line the curved edge with potted flowers and herbs. All of this makes me incredibly happy and having dirt under my fingernails is what it's all about. And in some ways, when the sun is out and the breeze is just right, it feels as though I'm digging in the garden, in our beautiful yard, in our little village in Oaxaca. Almost.

WatchDSM: City hopes security camera program solves crime
As more and more Iowans install doorbell security systems, Des Moines police hope some of the cameras will help solve crimes.
The Des Moines Police Department plans to build a network of neighborhood cameras called WatchDSM.
Des Moines police Sgt. Paul Parizek said he hopes the program puts thousands of eyes out in the community.
“If there's a crime in your neighborhood, we’re able to refer back to our map and find out exactly where those cameras are and go to those places first,” Parizek said.
Residents can sign up for the voluntary community camera program on the city’s website. To register, residents tell police how many cameras they have and where they are located.
Des Moines police Chief Dana Wingert was one of the first to sign up.
“My wife and I have a fairly good camera system there and we just thought, ‘You know, this is a nice way we can help out the community,'” Wingert said.
A private camera helped investigators break the Mollie Tibbetts murder case.
The chief hopes the network will also start to deter criminals.
“If you're on the wrong side of the law, you need to be looking over your shoulder, because there’s camera systems everywhere in central Iowa, and Des Moines especially,” Wingert said. “There’s great people willing to help us."

► Activities ► England
England is a country that is part of the UK with capital London. It is part of Europe and thanks to the tunnel with France there is even a permanent connection between the continent and the island. England has a long history and the many castles around the country, the English language spoken worldwide and the fact that the Queen is head of state in many countries are proof of this. England is also sports-minded (football crazy) and many sports find their roots here.

CUNA continues to push for a delay in the Department of Labor’s overtime rule so the agency has time to fully assess the impact the plan would have on credit unions, especially smaller ones and those in non-metropolitan areas.

Anthony Weiner Issues Guilty Plea to Obscenity Charge
Wochit Headline News - Friday, 19 May 2017
On Friday, former US representative Anthony Weiner pleaded guilty pleaded guilty to a single count of transmitting obscene material to a minor. In his plea, Weiner also admitted to "sharing explicit images and encouraging the minor to engage in sexually explicit conduct." The charge, which requires the 52-year-old to register as a sex offender, could bring a sentence of up to 10 years. However, officials say that Weiner is likely to serve a much shorter term if he is sentenced, due to his signing of a plea agreement in which he agreed not to appeal any jail sentence between 21 and 27 months.

Well, I don’t think she blew up anything, I just think it wasn’t the right time for her to do this.
I think it’s entirely understandable that he is having trouble getting over the ex. He is making a mistake if he thinks that he can move on by simply getting a new Craigslist gf. And she is making a mistake by thinking she’s got to “catch” him now or never.
There’s no now or never opportunity here, because he isn’t really available YET. He’s human, he’s getting over a relationship, and he can’t get into a new one right away. It’s as simple as that.
So, it’s not surprise she’s getting such a bad deal right now. I’m not sure there is any other deal for her to get. I’d say: if she cares for this man, then she should leave him time and space until he truly gets over it and is ready to start something new.
I don’t think she has blown up anything, I just think right now it’s not a good time for him to start a new relationship. I’d recommend she gives him time and space. He’s got to get over his ex-gf by himself, and it will take whatever it will take. Perhaps when he’s over it, they can start again.
I don’t think you did anything wrong by trying to date him after a recent breakup given the situation–you’ve known each other 7 yrs. and we so close at one point. Really, it could have been the ideal time to finally get together, it just turns out that it wasn’t. Not your fault.
I agree with Jeff and Mar that there really isn’t anything you can do, but wait and see if this guy gets over his feelings for his ex. I’d definetly have “the talk” Jeff suggested though, rather than just keep yourself hanging like this.
She met her BF through a Craigslist 7 years ago (at age 18) but was unavailable at the time (though both found each other attractive in a heart-racing kind of way.)
About 3 years later, they were working together, but by then she had a son. Almost got together, had an “intense emotional affair” but no sex. She wanted to try to work thing out with the baby daddy. (Didn’t work out.) Last September, she was getting married, but was dumped 30 days before the wedding.
After a few months of relationship time-out up the coast w/her parents, she went back to her town to see Craigslist friends. The old crush was in a HORRIBLE relationship. He dumped her, and he and our heroine immediately got together, confessing that they still loved each other.
A month later, he confesses that he still has feelings for the ex (with whom he shares an “expensive dog.” Seriously.) Thus begins a cycle of a.) spending a lot of time together, b.) her going home, and c.) him telling her he’s not sure he’s over the ex.
He finally told her that he loves her after which they spent 7 days together. She went back home, and it’s back to the old, “Still have feelings” stuff the next morning.

In the central area of the port of Progreso, the massive killing of stray dogs and cats has been reported during the last weeks, the animals have been poisoned and according to locals, the municipal authorities are doing nothing to find the people the responsible for this slaughter in the Progreso area.
This action has caused great indignation among the villagers because they mention that killing animals this way is not the solution to end the street animals problem.
According to the testimony of a Progreso resident, the first case of a poisoned animal occurred 4 months ago on Calle 31, where eight cats and two dogs were found dead, and in the last weeks they have found five more cats and one dog, which according to the witness were poisoned by a group of people living in the area of Progreso, who have declared that “it is necessary to kill all stray animals to get rid of them”
In the last weeks five cats and a dog have died in the downtown area of Progreso.
According to the persons who reported the situation, it has been already notified to the coordination of Ecology of the Progreso Municipality, who demanded punishment for the people who are responsible for the poisonings. The animals suffer temendous pains and convulsions before dying.
In the meantime the authorities have expressed that they will conduct the proper investigations, because these acts are illegal and prohibited in the port of Progreso.

The 100th anniversary of the discovery of the North Pole was marked this year on April 6. For more than 20 years, Harvard Foundation Director S. Allen Counter has made it a mission to bring to light the work of Matthew Henson, the African-American Arctic aide of Robert Peary, the sole explorer credited for reaching the North Pole in 1909.
Both explorers served in the U.S. Navy — Peary was a commander, and at the time of the North Pole exploration, he was on a military mission of geographic discovery, while Henson was a messenger and a field assistant (the highest positions that a “colored” man could hold in the Navy at that time, Counter explained).
“Henson, who by some accounts reached the North Pole first, and of whom Cmdr. Peary has said, ‘I cannot make it without him,’ was ignored by the press and left out of the history books because of racial attitudes in the United States toward African Americans at that time,” explained Counter.
Through a series of meetings in the 1980s with Peary’s and Henson’s sons, born to Inuit women in Greenland, Counter oversaw the Harvard North Pole Family Reunion, which was completed in 1987. Counter flew the explorers’ 80-year-old sons to the United States to meet the American Henson family and to attend a reinterment ceremony as Counter’s request to remove Henson’s remains from a common grave in New York’s Woodlawn Cemetery was approved.
Henson’s body was reinterred in Arlington National Cemetery adjacent to Peary’s grave with a fitting new monument and full military honors. The story captured the American imagination and was national news. It is covered in Counter’s book “North Pole Legacy: Black, White, and Eskimo” (University of Massachusetts Press, 1991).
Founding what is now called the Harvard North Pole Discovery Centennial Commemorative Project, Counter promised the explorers’ sons, who are now deceased, that he would travel with members of their Inuit families to the North Pole on the centennial commemoration of the North Pole discovery by their American fathers.
In the village of Qaanaaq, Greenland, about 40 descendants of Henson and Peary gathered in the local schoolhouse on April 6.
Using the explorers’ Navy history, Counter arranged for the USS Annapolis to travel to the North Pole carrying a sealed memorabilia case honoring the two explorers.
During the ceremony, Counter presented the families with the case containing an American flag; a Holy Bible from Harvard’s Memorial Church, signed and dedicated to the North Pole centennial by the Rev. Professor Peter J. Gomes; Peary’s 1910 book, “The North Pole”; Henson’s 1910 book, “A Negro Explorer at the North Pole”; a letter from President Ronald Reagan in recognition of Peary’s and Henson’s achievements and their sons’ visit to America in 1987; Counter’s book chronicling the events; and Inuit ephemera, as well as photographs, letters, and poems from others associated with or touched by the story of Peary, Henson, and their Greenlandic descendants.
“During the ceremony, I presented the families with a letter sent to me by President Barack Obama to mark the occasion,” said Counter.
An excerpt of Obama’s letter reads: “I am pleased to join all who are commemorating the last hundred years of Arctic exploration. … It is only fitting that we honor all those who have risked their lives and well-being to expand our knowledge of our continuously evolving planet.”

Did you put those potato chips on the shelf, but are still craving some tasty salty snacks?
How about instead of revamping your whole diet, start out small with just replacing your favorite fatty snacks with healthy ones.
With NatureBox, you can have quality delicious and nutritious snacks delivered to your door.
No more browsing through the aisles of the heath food store trying to figure out which products to buy...because with Nature Box, the best tasting ones are selected for you.
For $19.95 you'll have (5) full sized healthy snacks delivered right to your doorstep and you can cancel your subscrption at any time.
I know it's easy to drop $20 bucks on chips, cookies and other unhealthy snacks during your regular grocery store trip, so why not invest in your health instead?
In my first NatureBox I received:
- Wild Berry Bunch - a mix of dried fruits that were great to eat on top of yogurt or just by themselves.
- Lone Star Snack Mix - this satisfied my craving for salty and savory snacking - mesquite almonds, peanuts and savory multigrain chips.
- Orange Crush Granola - a lively orange kick, made this a new breakfast favorite for me.
- Chocolate Ginger Bliss - missing your chocolate? This mix of chocolate chips, tamari almonds, ginger and other dried fruits are sure to sooth that craving for sweets.
- Cranberry Almond Bites - a light and fruity (kinda addictive) square of puffed rice and cranberry deliciousness.
|Cranberry Almond Bites|
All of the snacks in our NatureBox were delicious, and actually lasted us a few weeks! My favorite was the Lone Star Snack Mix, just a perfect blend of salty and savory. I also noticed that I didn't need to eat the whole bag in one sitting, all these snacks did a great job of satiating my desire to snack, but kept the munching in moderation.
Not only do they help YOU to eat better, with snacks approved by their staff of nutritionists - they are a company doing GOOD for the whole country!
For every NatureBox they send out each month, they donate one meal to help feed the millions of children who go hungry in America.
Now, that's something I can support.
I wanna be friends with NatureBox, do you?

Activities have always brought the RDIs together to share experiences. But since Sir Gordon Russell’s day, various groups have emerged from within the ranks that have used the title and RDI’s talents to promote and foster design and craft. National events have fostered collaboration too.
The Second World War saw design come to the fore in ventures to save lives, with RDIs featuring prominently. An airborne lifeboat by small boat designer Uffa Fox, public information posters by Abram Games and Tom Eckersley, urging people to ‘Dig for Victory’ and reminding them that ‘Careless Talk Costs Lives’, and camouflage by Robert Goodden were among these.
In 1942 a shortage of traditional materials prompted the Board of Trade to set up the Design Panel for Utility. Sir Gordon Russell chaired the furniture panel until Frank Austin took over in 1943, Enid Marx created industrial fabrics and Sir Hardy Amies oversaw fashion.
Immediately Post War, the Board of Trade rallied prominent RDIs and some who later joined the faculty for a series of exhibitions to promote British design and boost overseas exports. In 1946 it staged ‘Britain Can Make It’ at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London, with Sir Misha Black and James Gardner taking a lead and poster designed by Ashley Havinden. In 1947 the Royal Scottish Museum in Edinburgh hosted Enterprise Scotland, designed by James Gardner and architect Sir Basil Spence.
But the big push came in 1951 with the Festival of Britain, masterminded by Sir Hugh Casson, who was appointed Director of Architecture for the festival in 1948. Architect and industrial designer Sir Misha Black, who worked on the Dome of Discovery, the Regatta restaurant and the Bailey Bridge, was among the RDIs who played prominent roles in the project on London’s South Bank. Ernest Race’s Springbok and Antelope chairs were on show, for example. Robin andLucienne Day created seating and fabrics respectively, Robert Goodden designed the Lion and the Unicorn pavilion to celebrate British design with exhibits such as Susie Cooper’s bone china Quail service, and Abram Games designed the iconic festival logo. The festival highlighted British creative talent, but it also inspired new generations of designers and architects, some of whom were taken as children by their parents.
