Mixed Portrait of Freshman Political Views: Their beliefs may lean liberal, but their politics tell a different story
January 27, 2012
New research reveals that college freshmen hold increasingly liberal views on key social issues like same-sex marriage and rights for illegal immigrants. But the progressive viewpoints haven’t translated into significantly greater levels of activism or heightened enthusiasm for national politics.
Those findings, published Thursday in an annual survey from the University of California at Los Angeles, paint a complicated election-year portrait of the country’s newest prospective voters. Are they progressive-minded and eager to embrace more-tolerant social views? Are they cynical products of a sour economy and a fractious political era, bent on punishing the establishment by staying home on Election Day? Or are they simply more inclined to favor civic engagement on a local level—volunteering in their communities, say—over national politics?
Or are they all of the above?
The research, done each year by the Cooperative Institutional Research Program at UCLA’s Higher Education Research Institute, along with other recent reports, provides some clarity, but only to a point. Consider these trends: In 1997, the year that UCLA researchers first began asking freshmen for their views on same-sex marriage, slightly more than half of all respondents said they supported it. In the latest survey, that percentage had reached an all-time high of 71 percent. (For more on how students’ views on social issues have changed over time, see related charts.)
Other findings from this year’s survey point to whether students act on those political beliefs.
Ten percent of respondents said they had worked on a local, state, or national campaign during the past year, placing them on the low end of a figure that has fluctuated between 8 and 15 percent over the past four decades.
At a time when angst over student debt and demonstrations linked to the Occupy movement have ignited some campuses, only 6 percent of respondents said they anticipated taking part in student protests while in college. (In the late 1960s, those numbers were, perhaps surprisingly, even lower: In 1968, 5 percent of respondents said they planned to take part in protests. The figure has never topped 9 percent.)
Numbers, of course, tell only part of the story. For every statistic that portends an apathetic future for today’s young voters, there is a student whose behavior augurs something quite different.
“I used to hate politics like crazy,” says Kavita Singh, the founder and lone member—so far—of the Youth for Ron Paul chapter at Southwestern University, in Texas. Growing up in a conservative Indian family in California’s left-leaning Bay Area, Ms. Singh said her view on politics during her early high-school years was simple: “What does it matter?”
“But I eventually I got into it,” she recalls. By the time she arrived at Southwestern in the fall of 2010, Ms. Singh, who is now 19 and majoring in economics, was a self-proclaimed libertarian.
She soon joined the campus’s libertarian group, did a marketing internship for a school-choice organization, and last month worked remotely to register voters for Ron Paul’s campaign in Louisiana. This semester, she is attempting to drum up support for Representative Paul on Southwestern’s tightly knit campus of 1,400 or so students.
In doing so, Ms. Singh has unwittingly acquired a reputation on campus as “the Libertarian.”
“People have been just very curious about me as a person,” she says. “They come up to me and they say, ‘You’re a woman and you’re not white and you’re not a racist or a bigot, so why are you a libertarian? Why do you believe what you believe?”
‘Politics Is Personal’
It’s a question that presidential candidates might well consider as they battle their way toward November. The recent research on freshmen, for starters, could provide hints on how to recapture the youthful vigor that defined the 2008 race.
Most freshmen responding to the UCLA survey will be eligible to vote for the first time in the forthcoming election. And they appear to have different views from arriving students in the past, says John H. Pryor, the report’s lead author
“What might be a more polarizing issue among the general population might not be polarizing for this population,” he says. “So even though more people are espousing these liberal views, they’re not necessarily thinking, ‘OK, I have this liberal view, therefore I’m a liberal.’”
Indeed, many of the hot-button social and political issues the survey asked students about yielded responses that lean liberal. Yet there have been no major shifts in the percentages of students who identify themselves as liberal or conservative.
The proportion who viewed themselves as “liberal” has varied from a high of 38 percent, in 1971 to a low of 19 percent, in 1981; in the newest survey, it was about 28 percent. “Conservative” students, who constitute about 21 percent of the 2011 respondents, have seen their representation fluctuate from 14 percent in the early 1970s to 24 percent in 2006.
Most students, it is clear, see themselves as someplace in between: In the survey’s 45-year history, the largest proportion of students have consistently characterized their views as “middle of the road.” (In the latest survey, 47 percent do.)…

In this moment of economic challenge, it can be difficult to keep our problems in perspective. The scale of the financial crisis and the subsequent recession, the weakness of the recovery, the persistence of high unemployment, and the possibility of yet another shock — this time originating in Europe — have left Americans feeling deeply insecure about their economic prospects. Unfortunately, too many politicians, activists, analysts, and journalists (largely, but not exclusively, on the left) seem determined to feed that insecurity in order to advance an economic agenda badly suited to our actual circumstances. They argue not that a financial crisis pulled the rug out from under our enviably comfortable lives, but rather that our lives were not all that comfortable to begin with. A signal feature of our economy in recent decades, they contend, has been pervasive economic risk — a function not of the ups and downs of the business cycle, but of the very structure of our economic system. According to this view, no American is immune to dreadful economic calamities like income loss, chronic joblessness, unaffordable medical bills, inadequate retirement savings, or crippling debt. Most of us — “the 99%,” to borrow the slogan of the Occupy Wall Street protestors — cannot escape the insecurity fomented by an economy geared to the needs of the wealthy few. Misery is not a marginal risk on the horizon: It is an ever-present danger, and was even before the recession. But compelling though this narrative may be to headline writers, it is fundamentally wrong as a description of America’s economy both before and after the recession. When analyzed correctly, the available data belie the notions that this degree of economic risk pervades American life and that our circumstances today are significantly more precarious than they were in the past. Even as we slog through what are likely to be years of lower-than-normal growth and higher-than-normal unemployment, most Americans will be only marginally worse off than they were in past downturns. The story of pervasive and overwhelming risk is not just inaccurate, it is dangerous to our actual economic prospects. This systematic exaggeration of our economic insecurity saps the confidence of consumers, businesses, and investors — hindering an already sluggish recovery from the Great Recession. It also leads to misdirected policies that are too zealous and too broad, overextending our political and economic systems. The result is that it has become much more difficult to solve the specific problems that do cry out for resolution, and to help those Americans who really have fallen behind. Only by moving beyond this misleading exaggeration, carefully reviewing the realities of economic risk in America, and restoring a sense of calm and perspective to our approach to economic policymaking can we find constructive solutions to our real economic problems. INCOME AND EMPLOYMENTPerhaps the broadest measure of economic insecurity is the risk of losing a job or experiencing a significant drop in income. And the idea that this risk has been increasing dramatically in America over the past few decades has been absolutely central to the narrative of insecurity. It has fed into a false nostalgia for a bygone age of stability, one allegedly supplanted (since at least the 1980s) by an era of uncertainty and displacement. President Obama offered a version of this story in his 2011 State of the Union address:
Many people watching tonight can probably remember a time when finding a good job meant showing up at a nearby factory or a business downtown. You didn’t always need a degree, and your competition was pretty much limited to your neighbors. If you worked hard, chances are you’d have a job for life, with a decent paycheck and good benefits and the occasional promotion. Maybe you’d even have the pride of seeing your kids work at the same company. That world has changed. And for many, the change has been painful. I’ve seen it in the shuttered windows of once booming factories, and the vacant storefronts on once busy Main Streets. I’ve heard it in the frustrations of Americans who’ve seen their paychecks dwindle or their jobs disappear — proud men and women who feel like the rules have been changed in the middle of the game.
The tales of both this fabled golden age and the dramatic rise in the risk of declining incomes and job loss are, to put it mildly, overstated. But this popular story did not originate with President Obama: It has been a common theme of left-leaning scholars and activists for many years. The clearest recent example of this trope may be found in the popular 2006 book The Great Risk Shift, by Yale political scientist Jacob Hacker. Hacker’s fundamental argument was that economic uncertainty has been growing dramatically since the 1970s, leaving America’s broad middle class subject to enormous risk. Using models based on income data, he argued that income volatility tripled between 1974 and 2002; the rise, he claimed, was particularly dramatic during the early part of this period, as volatility in the early 1990s was 3.5 times higher than it had been in the early 1970s. Hacker’s conclusion — that the middle class has, in recent decades, been subjected to horrendous risks and pressures — quickly became the conventional wisdom among many politicians, activists, and commentators. As a result, it has come to define the way many people understand the American economy. But that conclusion turned out to be the product of a serious technical error. Attempting to replicate Hacker’s work in the course of my own research, I discovered that his initial results were highly sensitive to year-to-year changes in the small number of families reporting very low incomes (annual incomes of under $1,000, which must be considered highly suspect). Hacker was forced to revise the figures in the paperback edition of his book. Nevertheless, he again overstated the increase over time by reporting his results as a percentage change in dollars squared (that is, raised to the second power) rather than in dollars and by displaying his results in a chart that stretched out the rise over time. While he still showed an increase in volatility of 95%, my results using the same basic methodology indicated an increase of about 10%. In July 2010, a group led by Hacker published new estimates purporting to show that the fraction of Americans experiencing a large drop in income rose from about 10% in 1985 to 18% in 2009. But the 2009 estimate was a rough projection, and would have been a large increase — up from less than 12% in 2007. Then, in November 2011, an updated report (produced by a reconfigured team of researchers led by Hacker) abandoned the previous year’s estimates and argued that the risk of a large income shock rose from 13% or 14% in 1986 to 19% in 2009. Where did these assertions come from? The team’s 2010 claim was again based on a failure to adequately address the problem of unreported income in the data. Their November 2011 claim, meanwhile, used a different data set that was much less appropriate for looking at income loss (because it does not identify the same person in different years, does not follow people who move from their homes, and suffers greatly from the problem of unreported income). In fact, the most reliable data regarding income volatility in recent decades (including the data used by Hacker in his early work and in 2010) suggest a great deal of stability when analyzed correctly. The chart below shows the portion of working-age adults who, in any given year, experienced a 25% decline in inflation-adjusted household income (a common definition of a large income drop, and the basis for Hacker’s recent estimates). Viewed over the past four decades, this portion has increased only slightly, even though it has risen and fallen within that period in response to the business cycle…

The massive victory of the Islamist parties in the Egyptian general elections received its official imprimatur last weekend, and the country appeared headed for a major constitutional tussle between the ruling Supreme Military Council and the emergent parliament.
Egypt announced that, after three bouts at the polls and a number of individual run-off elections, the main 498-member lower house of parliament, the People’s Assembly, which convened this week, will have 235 representatives of the Muslim Brotherhood and 121 from the Salafist al-Nour party and its affiliates. Together they will hold 71 percent of the seats—47.18 percent for the Brotherhood and 24.29 percent for al-Nour). The house will contain another ten “moderate” Islamists from the New Center Party. The centrist and traditional al-Wafd Party will have thirty-six members, and the liberal bloc will have thirty-three seats. The “Revolution Continues” party, representing the leaders of the Facebook and Tweeter generation that featured so prominently in the demonstrations that ultimately toppled the old regime, won only 2 percent of the vote.
Given the nature of the gradual democratic takeover of the state by the Muslim Brothers, many observers see the victory of Hamas‚ the Palestinian offshoot of the Brotherhood, in the 2006 Palestinian general elections as the true herald of the revolutionary change in the Egyptian polity (and perhaps of the so-called Arab Spring in general, given its evident Islamist trajectory).
Fresh mass demonstrations are scheduled this week in Cairo’s Tahrir Square, marking the one-year anniversary of the demonstrations that overthrew the regime of Hosni Mubarak, who ruled Egypt since 1981. The demonstrators likely will press the army to relinquish its hold on power and subordinate itself to the popular will, meaning accept parliamentary oversight and control of its budget and operations. But many liberal Egyptians suspect that the Brotherhood and the army have already secretly struck a power-sharing deal that will sideline both the secularist liberals and the al-Nour Salafists. If so, the protests will be symbolic and pro forma and will pass quietly.
At the end of this week, Egypt will hold its first elections for parliament’s upper house, the Shura Council. After these are completed, the two houses are scheduled to set up a committee to formulate the country’s new constitution. The military, headed by General Tantawi, will likely seek to retain its independence from civilian control and possibly its actual control of the state. Elections for the presidency are scheduled for June. The Brotherhood months ago announced that it will not field a candidate from the party ranks—but, given its electoral success, there can be little doubt that it will either eventually put forward a candidate of its own or advance the cause of a straw man of its choosing.
Observers expect the Muslim Brotherhood, which is likely to form a coalition government with the small centrist-secular parties rather than with its Islamist competitors from al-Nour, to focus in the coming months and years on sorting out Egypt’s internal problems—consolidating its hold on power, battling the flight of foreign investors, reducing unemployment, shoring up crumbling infrastructure and reviving foreign tourism. Thus, it probably will forego its traditional foreign-policy agenda of breaking with the West and annulling the 1979 peace treaty with Israel. The Egyptian economy can ill afford the loss of the annual American foreign-aid subsidy of $1.5 billion…

Treatment of advanced melanoma is undergoing a revolution due to targeted therapeutics directed at BRAF(V600E) mutations and immune checkpoint blockade. However both the magnitude and durability of responses are very far from optimal (median progression on PLX4032 of ~8 months). This PPG takes a systematic, comprehensive, and interdisciplinary approach towards elucidating and overcoming this treatment resistance with combination approaches including drugs as well as immunotherapy. Our team consists of leaders in melanoma biology as well as principal investigators of key current clinical trials. Our approach builds on generating paired, patient-derived sensitive and resistant melanoma specimens and cell lines via a Shared Resource Core (Core A) using in vitro culture techniques and highly efficient xenografts in N0D/SCID/IL2RY-/- mice. These specimens, and corresponding patients, will be annotated by an extensive set of clinical and molecular criteria including candidate oncogene sequencing, genomic copy number, and PLX4720 ICSO. The same paired melanoma specimens will then undergo deep sequencing and full-genome. shRNA phenotypic screening (Project 1), to identify acquired mutations and gene dependencies associated with resistance (synthetic lethality). Validation/prioritization of hits will build on collective knowledge from ail 3 Projects. Project 2 will carry out parallel analyses of resistance mechanisms and hit validation in genetically defined mouse melanoma models, including the testing of candidates derived from Projects 1 &3 and the incorporation of tumors with acquired resistance to BRAF inhibitors. Resistance mechanisms identified in mice will be utilized to prioritize among candidates among the human studies (Project 1). Project 3 will examine the MITF pathway which antagonizes apoptosis after BRAF(V600E) inhibitor drugs-offering drugable opportunities-and also study immune involvement which may be regulated by MITF via modulation of melanoma antigenicity. Combination therapy with BRAF(V600E) antagonists plus immune checkpoint blockade will be scrutinized using genetically defined mice and also studied in patients. The resulting molecular and functional datasets will be integrated via a specialized Bioinformatics and Biostatistics Core at the Broad Institute (Core B) to prioritize and validate hits from each platform, inform mechanisms of resistance, nominate biomarkers of sensitivity/resistance, and identify drug-able vulnerabilities for preclinical/clinical development. The predicted output of these extensively integrated Projects and Cores could not be replicated in separate initiatives, but will function within a highy collaborative, multi-disciplinary structure to accelerate the discovery of a cure.
While a major advance in melanoma therapy was recently made, due to application of a new class of oncogene-targeted drugs to ~50% of advanced melanoma patients;the magnitude and duration of clinical responses have been incomplete and only temporary. This POI focuses on major opportunities to discover specific molecular explanations for treatment resistance, and on scientifically based strategies to overcome such treatment resistance via combination therapy approaches.

“Higher Or Heaven” is a scrapped song from Selena Gomez’s the 2016 version of SG2.
It was recorded in 2016 along with “Feel Me” & “Stained” and it’s also rumored that Halsey is featured on.
In the song, the 26-year-old singer describes, what it appears to be, a past relationship while also sharing concerns about her life, this is after being diagnosed with Lupus.
Fortunately for fans, a studio version of the track surfaced on the internet on February 24, 2018, although it is speculated that this leaked version is not the final one and instead just a simple demo.

Jose Mourinho has come to Manchester United to continue his remarkable record of trophy success, make no mistake about that. That is why he is happy to pay the Swedish superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic a fortune in wages despite the striker being at the end of his prime at 34-years of age.
Mourinho has also identified a new top quality centre back as being key to our Premier League title hopes and has already completed the big money transfer of Eric Bailly. The next priority for United is to add some craft and guile to the solid squad in order to provide the likes of Martial Rashford and Ibrahimovic with ammunition and we know that the new manager is not convinced by Juan Mata as he let the Spaniard join us from Chelsea.
And it seems that Mourinho’s former club Real Madrid are well aware of how much we need a top attacking midfielder, which is why they are digging their heels in over the price of the Colombian international star James Rodriguez and demanding almost £70 million for him according to the Daily Star.
Mourinho knows that Rodriguez is not really in favour at Madrid but I do not think he will be too hard in the negotiations if he has identified this player as the man to complete the Man United jigsaw for next season. Will that be it do you think or is there more transfer action to come?

1973 240Z 6-Speed Restomod
’73 240Z (restomod)
Please take time to WATCH the Test Drive Video (above) and READ all the details below.
The DRIVING EXPERIENCE
This car will not disappoint. It is a wonderful balance of grand touring car, daily commuter and all out street or track performer. Depending on your mood, you can pick your gear (out of 6) and instantly tap into “on demand power” of 330hp and 411ft lbs of Torque. This is a lot of power in this light chassis, making it instantly willing to hit warp speed in whatever gear you choose. The torque and exhaust note are intoxicating.
PAINT & BODY
This was a very expensive glass out repaint of an original California car that, according to the former owner, had no rust or rot anywhere. The car was then stripped down to bare metal and any small dents or dings were straightened. The doors, fenders, hood, hatch, and all glass were removed from the body before prep and paint. All the original welds are clearly visible on this high integrity body.
The car was finished using a BMW color called “Space Gray” which looks fantastic and really accents the beautiful lines of the 240Z. All new rubber gaskets and a new windshield was installed to seal the car. Additionally, the inner body was upgraded with modern sound deadening/heat resistant material prior to installing the interior.
The Z-Beast gets “extreme attention” at shows and even when placed among expensive late model high performance cars it still looks relevant. Simply put it is stunning and easily recognizable as a car done right. Best of all, it has NOT been highly altered visually and thus retains much of that vintage classic 240Z vibe.
It is very important to know that there is a big difference “in quality” in these cars one from another. 95% of the builds out there are budget restricted, often start with poor bodies and from there cut corners in the finish to save money. This car was NOT a budget restricted build. It started with a very high-quality un-hit, un-rusted and un-cut car and was given a high-quality finish with the dual goal of having an impressive presentation along with a long-lasting results.
The end result is a car that performs fantastic, looks fantastic and retains much of that classic original vibe we all originally fell in love with. Even at car shows when among expensive modern cars it still looks relevant and draws significant attention. The original factory seats are in fantastic condition and come with the car as well as the currently installed retro-sport racing seats (which are like new with the exception that some of the medallions have come loose). The car was also updated with comfortable fitting after-market shoulder belts.
MECHANICALS / 411 ft lbs of TORQUE !
This was a very well thought out cohesive build using quality components.
There are low miles on the build, estimated to be at approximately 4,500. Everything looks and feels fresh. With the modern Fuel Injection it starts easily and behaves beautifully. The car has two distinct personalities, one being a long legged, “mild mannered high speed touring car” and the other being an all-out street light to street light brawler or track car.
The mechanical details below were provided by the former owner/builder and are included in the binder that comes with the car.
- Dyno results of 330hp at 4700 RPM with an IMPRESSIVE 411 ft lbs of Torque at 3,600 RPM. The 350 engine is a crate 1969 LT1 bored out .30 over to a 355.
- Chevy LT1 350-355 (crate engine, never before in a car)
- EFI – Holley Sniper Fuel Injection
- Complete MSD ignition system
- Edelbrock Performer Air-Gap Intake Manifold
- Edelbrock Victor Series Water Pump
- Chevy bowtie angle heads 64cc
- 2.02 intake valve
- Port and Polished heads
- Bowel Blended
- Motor bored .030 over, fil cut rings
- Keith Black Pistons 10:1
- LT1 forged steel crank & rods
- 1.6 Roller rockers for intake & exhaust

Why – a 350-Z resto-mod?
The robust unibody chassis of the 240Z is well suited for the 350 upgrade. This build was in the spirit of the 240Z “Scarabs” built by Brian Marrow in the mid-seventies. Marrow (a California builder) was already famous for his high-performance boats (also called Scarabs) when he took that knowledge and started building high performance Datsun 240Z’s. The original Scarabs are now highly sought after and have their own classification at Zcon.
This build, while giving a “nod” to the famous Scarabs of the past, incorporates among other things modern Electronic Fuel Injection, a modern 6-speed, as well as takes advantage of some superior 300ZX components. There may be more exotic engines for resto-mod’ing a 240Z but very few that would be faster, easier to maintain, or cheaper to maintain than the venerable 350. There is a reason that the vast majority of hot rods are built using the “tried and true” hall of fame engine.
The critical DNA ingredients on this build are known (and substantially listed above). This is valuable information for future owners and giving them a leg-up should maintenance or repairs be needed.

Where the larger names of the gaming industry are inclined to pull out the big guns, Devolver Digital has always captured the hearts of the community in a different way. Its game showcases are often bizarre and outright absurd, but there’s a special brand of charm to it that never fails to leave audiences in delightful confusion.
This year is no exception, with the publisher hosting a live stream where the word “future” was repeated too many times, expletives got tossed around, and a prop rifle and katana went into the hands of a presenter (yes, really). Throw into the mix a handful of E3 jokes, and surprise appearances by PlayStation’s Shuuhei Yoshida, Xbox’s Phil Spencer, SonicFox, Geoff Keighley, and Geralt of Rivia (no, we’re not kidding), and it’s easy to see how successful the team’s presentation was, once again.
In other words, it’s business as usual at Devolver Digital town – but even better. From the widely-anticipated Shadow Warrior 3 to the metroidvania titles like Carrion and Olija, here’s every game announcement that went down on the flashy showfloor.
Shadow Warrior 3
Bullets, blades, and blood…demon blood. The third instalment of the highly-acclaimed Shadow Warrior series is back with all of the three ‘b’s, plus more classy trademark combat elements, brutal executions, and gorgeous acrobatics. Think Doom in Japan, but with way fewer guns, tons of dry, sarcastic humour, and fluid movements. 2021 is the date to note.
Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout
Everyone is utterly adorable in this game, but make no mistake – mercy has no place on the battlefield. Fall Guys: Ultimate Knockout pits players against a host of ridiculous challenges and wild obstacle courses, where you’ll have to shove through rowdy competitors and overcome the laws of physics to become the final victor. And if you fail? Well, with a snazzy outfit equipped, at least you’ll be able fail in style. Look out for it on 4 August on Steam.
It’s gruesome, it’s unconventional, and it’s definitely not for the faint of heart. Carrion lets you play as an amorphous creature who terrorises, stalks, and devours humans that have kept you imprisoned. The path to retribution is made easier as you evolve and learn more devastating abilities, spreading fear and panic until you annihilate the entirety of the prison’s presence. Revenge is sweet, and you’ll soon be able to taste it come 23 July.
Kill it, fling it, throw it – in Olija, you can do all of that with a simple tool: an ancient harpoon. Trapped in a mysterious and dangerous country, Faraday is on a quest to flee the hostile land and return to his homeland, but that’s always easier said than done. A seemingly gorgeous metroidvania inspired by swashbuckling tales and folklore, the game promises adventurous exploration, beautiful soundtracks, and warm camaraderie between fellow castaways. Available now on both PC via Steam and Switch.
Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass
Nothing feels better than watching a firearm shoot to the beat of an angry, heavy metal banger in the background. Serious Sam 4: Planet Badass features tons and tons of gunfire action, mighty explosions, and an endless stream of chaotic mayhem, alongside 100,000 enemies on screen, and a 128km map. Talk about hardcore. Players can expect the game on PS4 and Xbox One in 2021.
Truly, Devolver Digital has reached peak self-awareness and fourth wall-breaking goodness with Devolverland Expo. Set in an abandoned convention centre after the annual Devolver Digital game expo was mysteriously cancelled (looking at you, 2020), it sees players breaking into the location and avoiding security systems to watch and retrieve all gameplay trailers, demo videos, and other hidden secrets. The best part of this? It’s free, and available for keeps on Steam now. An utterly brilliant idea, indeed.
Apart from the above, the publisher also announced a couple of other titles for future release, including an untitled Team Beans project, a supposedly new Kirby game, and SonicFox’s very own game Furry Fighter 4. The Devolver Direct has, as usual, been an extremely entertaining and hilarious affair, delivering in both the humour and game trailer department . Here’s to even more shenanigans for the following year!


Meteor pings received on SUWS WebSDR
The SUWS WebSDR, a popular resource for the Amateur Satellite and 434 MHz High Altitude Balloon communities, has recently been upgraded to support VLF and 49.990 MHz for Meteor Scatter observations.
The SUWS team hope that these new bands will further enhance the capabilities of the WEB SDR, which already covers a large proportion of the 2m, 70cm and 3cm Amateur bands.
The bands were added in order to try and replicate some of the work already undertaken by Dr David Morgan 2W0CXV and to make the SDR available as an on-line resource for others who are interested in observing such phenomena.
Antenna’s at SUWS WebSDR site in Farnham
Performance on the VLF bands is now quite good, but it still suffers slightly from some electrical noise from other equipment in the site and Sferic noise (Lightning discharges) from about 4 kHz upwards.
50 MHz is currently operating on a temporary antenna, but it is possible to hear the local beacons and repeaters, plus more distant Amateur stations during Sporadic E openings. So it is a good indicator of band conditions, but is probably not quite sensitive enough at the moment to allow detection of some of the weaker meteor pings emanating from the BRAMS CW radar on 49.97 MHz and IEPR CW radar on 49.99 MHz
However 143 MHz is working well and Pings from Graves on 143.05 MHz can be heard quite frequently.
Here is an example of how the WEB SDR can be used to detect meteors.
It is possible by looping a PC sound card input and output whilst running a web browser, to use Spectrum Lab to display a waterfall of the audio from the PC. Then by opening multiple instances of the WEB SDR in the browser, selecting USB and setting each SDR instance to a slightly different centre frequency and adjusting the filter pass-bands. It is possible to concurrently capture plots from VLF signals, IEPR, BRAMS and GRAVES and display them side by side on one screen (see attached). Because the same PC, Browser and internet connection is being used for all the signals, the plots should be almost time synchronous.
The SUWS team hope that these new enhancements will be enjoyed by their users, and expect that further improvements will continue to be made over the coming months.

More than 3,000 people have reached the peak of Mount Everest – the tallest mountain in the world – since it was first summited in 1953. Not all Everest climbs, however, are created equal. Some attempts, for instance, are made without the help of supplemental oxygen. Others are made under deadly weather conditions or plotted along particularly challenging routes. There’s no easy way to the top of the world, but the Everest climbs listed below might be considered the most impressive.
First Ascent: Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay – 1953
It was kind of a big deal when Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay made the first ascent of the world’s tallest mountain on May 29, 1953. They became heroes; enormous crowds in London and India celebrated the climb and the queen knighted Hillary for the accomplishment.
The New Zealander and Sherpa climbed 29,038-foot Everest following a series of expeditions in previous decades, including the famous 1924 attempt when George Mallory disappeared on the mountain. It is not known whether he reached the summit, making Hillary and Norgay’s climb the first confirmed ascent of the tallest mountain in the world. Hillary, a beekeeper and air force navigator during World War II, and his partner were part of an expedition of more than 400 people and 18 tons of equipment.
Today, a 40-foot rock wall near the summit, the Hillary Step, bears the adventurous Kiwi’s name. He and Norgay were first to climb this technical challenge, made all the more difficult, as was the entire endeavor, by the equipment of the day. Remarking upon his successful ascent, Hillary reportedly told his friend George Lowe, “well, George, we knocked the bastard off.”
Reinhold Messner Summits Everest Alone Without Oxygen – 1978 and 1980
Reinhold Messner, a flamboyant German climber regarded by many as the greatest high-altitude alpinist ever, has logged two of Everest’s greatest ascents. The first was on May 8, 1978, when he, along with partner Peter Habeler, became the first to summit Everest without supplemental oxygen. This was a breakthrough achievement many doubted was possible; today an oxygen-less ascent is still a statement of purity and extreme difficulty. Two years later, Messner again summited without oxygen – this time making the climb solo, spending three days on the mountain by himself. He was also the first to summit all 14 of the world’s peaks above 8,000 meters.
13-year-old Jordan Romero Reaches the Top – 2010
In May 2010, a 13-year-old from Big Bear, California, became the youngest person to set foot on the earth’s highest point. Jordan Romero, climbing with his father, stepmother and sherpas, summited Everest, adding to a growing list of impressive ascents undertaken by the adrenaline-fueled youngster. After climbing Everest, he was left with only one more ascent — Antarctica’s Vinson Massif — to finish all 8,000-meter peaks on each continent. The next year, he reached the frozen continent’s jagged peak, becoming the “boy who conquered the Seven Summits.”
Romero may remain the youngest to summit Everest for quite some time, if not forever. As a result of his Everest ascent, the China Tibet Mountaineering Association, the organization that issues climbing permits for routes in Tibet, upped the requisite age to 18-years-old for climbers coming from the north.
Blind Adrenalist, Erik Weihenmayer, Makes The Climb – 2001
In 2001, Erik Weihenmayer, became the first blind climber to reach the summit of Everest. Born with an eye disease called retinoschisis, Weihenmayer gradually lost his vision, becoming totally blind by the age of 13. He refused, however, to do things as expected. He refused to use a cane or learn braille, relying instead on his other senses to do things that most humans can only dream of. He became his high school’s wrestling captain, representing his state in the national championship. In 1996, he carried the Olympic torch through Phoenix. He learned to climb ice by listening for the thunk sound heard when an axe finds placement in solid ice, and in 2001, he followed the sound of a bell rung by a climbing partner to the top of the tallest mountain in the world.
Following his Everest ascent, Weihenmayer went on to complete the Seven Summits, the highest peaks on each continent. His Everest ascent turned him into an overnight media sensation garnering magazine articles and television appearances, even reality shows. All the while, he has been a champion of athletes with disabilities, ascending Himalayan peaks with wounded war veterans.
May 23, 2010
On a single day a couple of years ago, May 23, 2010, more climbers reached the top of the world than had summited in more than 30 years. That number: 169, a figure emblematic of the explosion in interest in the world’s tallest peak.
Today, fixed ropes and ladders provide passage over much of Everest’s more worn routes. Discarded oxygen bottles pile up in the snow, and the summit can become choked with climbers, hundreds of porters and expensive guides. An ascent with one of these guides can cost as much as $80,000 per climber.
The fervor over Everest may have started in the mid 1850s when the Royal Geographical Society crowned it the tallest mountain in the world. Interest in the peak, however, continues today at a pace that the mountain perhaps cannot sustain. This year, several climbers have died on the mountain, in no small part due to the commercialization of the mountain. Today, almost anyone can step foot on the world’s tallest mountain… for a price. Sometimes the price is more than anyone can account for.

Fix VOYO VBook V3 Ultrabook issues
By Sophia Windsor 2017-09-14 7801 1
The lines on the screen may be caused by a faulty flat cable.
If there are just one or two lines on the screen and they are not multiplying, you may choose to bear it and leave it be - provided, of course, that they are not blocking key elements on your display. If this is a source of much annoyance, take the laptop to a repair centre or send it back to the factory.
The screen may have been damaged during shipping. Try the following solutions:
● Adjust the monitor's refresh rates in "Display settings - Advanced settings - Monitor - Screen refresh rate", and press "OK" to activate it.
● If necessary, you may need to flash your ultrabook with drivers.
● If the problem persists, it may be caused by hardware problems. Just send it back to the factory or have it repaired in a fixing store.
Boot & Keyboard issues
● Your Ultrabook battery may be running low. Charge it and long press the power key until it powers on. If the laptop is not charging, try switching to another cable.
● The battery may not be activated. Please connect it to the power supply. Then, press the power key for about 30 seconds to activate the battery. After at least half an hour of charging, try rebooting it.
● Connect your V3 to a computer. If it can be detected on your computer, you can try flashing it.
● If none of the above works, this is probably a hardware issue. You can contact the after-sales service or fix it in a professional repair store.
● You may accidentally have pressed the key lock to lock the keyboard. The key lock is near the power key, just turn it off.
● Make sure that the keyboard is compatible with your Ultrabook.
● Check if the keyboard is well connected to your Ultrabook. If not, try reconnecting them.
● Usually, you can use it directly after connecting the keyboard to your tablet without installing any drivers. If you have installed any drivers, uninstall them.
● If all the workarounds have failed, there is probably something wrong with the keyboard itself. Contact the after-sales service or have it fixed at a repair store.
SIM card & battery issues
● Check if the SIM card has been inserted correctly in the slot, try reinserting the SIM card or change to another SIM to check the problem lies with the card.
● The SIM card pins or chip might have a poor contact with the connectors, just power off the phone and remove the SIM card. Carefully wipe the chip and pins clean before reinserting the card.
● The card reader module may have failed. Try flashing your V3 Ultrabook and see whether it works.
● If the flashing even doesn't work, there is probably something wrong with the SIM card slot, please contact the aftersales service to have it checked and repaired.
It is a normal phenomenon. Usually, the battery will consume 3% of its power in shutdown state per day, because there are still some other programs running in the background even if the laptop is powered off.
There are some tricks you can use to make the battery last longer.
● Close any unnecessary programs running in the background. This is one of the most effective ways to save your battery power.
● Charge your Ultrabook in time. Don't wait until the battery is completely used up.
● Set appropriate screen brightness. If your VBook's screen is too bright, it is not only bad for your eyes, but will consume lots of battery power.
● If none of these tricks make a difference and your battery is draining unreasonably fast, the battery may be damaged. Please contact the after-sales service or ask for professional repair.
Some unofficial data online may be inaccurate. If you want to know some credible information, please refer to VOYO's official website.
● Check whether the charger is the original one. A non-original power charger has a different input and output power which may cause the battery charge failure.
● Connect your Ultrabook to the power supply, and then press the power key three times continuously. Next, press the power key for about 10 seconds to check if it can power on.
● The battery may not have been activated. Connect your Ultrabook to the power supply and press the power key for 30 seconds to activate the battery. Then let it charge for at least half an hour to see if it can boot.
● If none of the above works, the most possible reason should be the charging port is broken or the battery has something wrong. Contact the after-sales service or take it to the repair store to fix.
Yes, the V3 Ultrabook supports WiDi.
It is compatible with an active capacitive pen.
Unfortunately, the V3 Ultrabook does not support Linux Operating System.
No, it doesn't, but it supports HDMI.
It's built-in Li-ion battery.
Have the above solutions helped you? If you have other questions about your V3 Ultrabook unmentioned in this post, feel free to submit your questions at our Support Center. We will try our best to deal with your problems as soon as possible.

To start with it is worth noting that in the capital Ljubljana -a must-see part of any itinerary in Slovenia- the day starts with breakfast at a bakery. Slovenians love pastries. Giant croissants and chocolate donuts are on the menu through the night at 24 hour bakeries dotted about the place. That said, Slovenian people seem to be exclusively young, slim and beautiful.
It is an ex-soviet nation that was part of the former Yugoslavia. That of course means that, though it is dilapidated and a little pitiful, your money will go far and you can do as you please. Right? No. Ljubljana still bears the cuts and bruises of its past and it wears them proudly alongside some of its finer cultural treasures such as Ljubljana Castle. Strolling down by the river you can be reminded of Amsterdam, Prague, London or a host of other countries but none quite ticks all the boxes the way that Ljubljana does. The ruins of soviet buildings are not abandoned but retro-fitted to serve as sophisticated apartments and the new Ljubljana is blended seamlessly into its older surroundings.
If you can tear yourself away, getting away from Ljubljana is easy. The roads are well-kept, the buses are on time and the trains are reliable. In choosing a next destination just put a point in the map and go. However, if you are short on time and want to experience Slovenia at its primeval best, head west to the resort town of Bovec. Here you are ringed by an impressive mountain range carpeted in lush forests and capped with ice. If you are brave enough, one route by car brings you up a narrow pass through the mountains via endless stunning hairpin bends.
Bovec is also surrounded by the Soca river, a palate of blue so alluring it is impossible not to jump in. Be warned the water is from a glacier and at most points the current is very strong. In and around the Bovec area, everything is within your reach. Hire a mountain bike and go it alone or take a tour to kayak, canyon or raft down the Soca. You can even skydive over the Julian alps.
Slovenia was almost unheard of in the UK a few years ago, but it is now easily accessible from most UK airports. It is not Prague, Amsterdam or London. If you are seeking compromise any of these will do. Slovenia does not offer compromise. It has raw beauty and a character all its own and it has to be experienced to be understood.

Following the violence that led to the death of a leader of Motorcycle Operators’ Association of Lagos State (MOALS) in Oshodi, Alhaji Rasaq Bello popularly known as Hamburger, the State Government, on Monday, suspended activities of the National Union of Road Transport Workers (NURTW) in all the seven branches in the area indefinitely.
The affected branches are LOB A, LOB D, LOB J, Oshodi A, Oshodi B, Oshodi C and Oshodi D.
The State Government, in a news conference jointly addressed by officials of the state, the police and NURTW at the Bagauda Kaltho Press Centre in Alausa, said while the suspension order lasts, there would be no collection of tickets/fees from commuter buses operating in the area.
Addressing the briefing, the State’s Acting Commissioner for Transportation, Prince Olanrewaju Elegushi said throughout the duration of the suspension order, a team of State Government officials and security personnel would be mandated to oversee and monitor the transport operations within the affected branches to ensure they do not collect any ticket or fees from transport operators.
He said the suspension order was taken after due consultation with all the relevant stakeholders concerning the crisis, and that it would remain in force until peace and tranquility returned to the area, adding that the lifting of the ban would only be based on appropriate security reports.
He said: “For the avoidance of doubt, police investigations are ongoing on the said death and all persons found culpable will be prosecuted in line with the dictates of the laws.
“It is important to also emphasis that all rumour mongering, insinuations and unfounded/unverified facts should be avoided in the sake of peaceful co-existence.
“Any escalation of the crisis arising from the ban will lead to Government taking sterner actions against the branches where violence is recorded,” Elegushi threatened.
He said as part of the strategies to permanently address incessant crisis arising from activities of transport unions in the State, the State Government has already put in place the Bus Reform Initiative (BRI) through which 5,000 air-conditioned and convenient buses would be injected into the transport sector, adding that the initiative would soon be launched.
Also speaking, Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of Operations in the State, Mr Imohimi Edgal, confirmed that some arrests have been made, following the crisis and that investigation had started in respect of the violence.
He assured that anyone found culpable in the crisis would be prosecuted in accordance with the law, and that the State Government, in partnership with the police and other relevant stakeholders were working towards a lasting peace.
Edgal added that the report of the preliminary investigation by the police would be out before the end of the week.
On his part, Lagos State Chairman of NURTW, Alhaji Tajudeen Agbede, said the branch was in support of the decision of government to suspend all union activities in Oshodi indefinitely, saying that the union was adequately consulted before the action was taken.
“I like to confirm that the decision of the State Government to suspend union activities in Oshodi was supported by us. We also want a lasting peace in Oshodi and we know that with this decision, people can go about their duties without let or hindrance.
“I am sure if the union had handled the issue of Oshodi, we would have arrived at the same decision to suspend activities for now and I want to urge our members to cooperate with government in its bid to ensure lasting peace.
“Going forward, we have been educating our members on the need to eschew violence and we still want to reiterate it that anyone caught perpetrating violence would be dealt with in accordance with the law,” Agbede said.
Meanwhile, the state has begun the construction of security watch towers at the Model College, Igbonla which would be mounted with surveillance cameras and manned 24 hours to ensure that intruders could be located from afar before they wreck havoc.
This is just as teaching and learning activities resumed at the college following the expiration of the midterm break.
The Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Mr. Adesina Odeyemi and the Tutor-general / Permanent Secretary, Mrs Margaret Solarin were both at the school on Monday for first hand assessment of the situation.
Also the Commissioner of Police, Mr. Fatai Owoseni and Divisional Commander of Neighborhood Safety Corps, Mr. Semi Lateef were also on ground to further ensure safety.
Owoseni said he was in the school to observe the resumption trend, assuring that security agencies were working to ensure the safe return of the abducted children but were being careful with the use of force.
There was no sign of apprehension or anxiety in the staff and students who were seen going about their normal activities. SSS III Science students were seen doing their physics practical for the NECO examination.
Since the kidnap of six students from the school on Wednesday May 24, there had been heavy security presence in the school to ensure safety of students.
On Monday, security operatives were on patrol while some were on ground to ensure safety.
Contractors were also seen working on the construction of the watch towers.
Apart from the watch towers, the perimeter wall fence is being illuminated with forty 250watts halogen lamps for security survey throughout the night. Bush adjoining the perimeter fence has been cleared while armed security operatives will be deployed permanently to man the school.
The Governor of Lagos State, Mr. Akinwunmi Ambode, had promised during the Children’s Day celebration that his government would stop at nothing to ensure the safe return of the abducted children of the school.
Represented by his deputy, Dr. Idiat Oluranti Adebule, the governor said the state would not be intimidated to abandon his avowed pursuit of academic and physical development of the children of the State.
Some students who preferred anonymity, appealed to the abductors of their colleagues to release them unhurt as they are only children who couldn’t have contributed to whatever was the grouse of the kidnappers.
They urged parents to have confidence in the government and God to bring their colleagues to school for their academic pursuit to continue.

Pulp and paper operations present multiple challenges for air pollution control due to paper and other related products containing low density fibers. Steam boilers produce fly-ash, process equipment create salt cake accumulation, and in-plant processes create various kinds of dust and fumes. AAF® applies the appropriate core technologies, with customized installations for the specific industry needs, to meet and exceed goals for reduced emissions and material recovery. For tissue manufacture and processing AAF wet collectors such as the RotoClone® W and KinPactor are attractive because the collected tissue fibers are readily returned in slurry form to the process. For manufacture of paper based products e.g. disposable nappies and personal hygiene products AAF can offer either wet scrubber type filters or pulse jet fabric filters customized to meet the special challenges of this application.

Dimitri Metaxas is the co-founder and CEO of IQdata
Like every other medium, outdoor advertising needs an audience to thrive but, unlike other media, it lost nearly 80 per cent of its traffic to Covid-19 restrictions. The fact is while movement across major regional cities has largely rebounded, the near-term regional out-of-home (OOH) industry prospects remain tense. Some companies have closed down while others scramble to manage cashflows, sometimes fighting bruising price wars. The contrast between the situations of the outdoor media industry and its digital media peers couldn’t be starker.
While digital continues its inexorable growth, the region’s outdoor media is still looking for its much-needed inflection point. Digital is well past this, thanks to data-driven audience measurement, audience profiling and advertising performance. The region’s OOH sector is, however, still lacking a common audience measurement currency to unlock its own transformation.
One reason for the absence of consensus is that the sector is fragmented, commoditised and price volatile. Another is that a common audience measurement currency that puts all media suppliers on an equal footing can benefit buyers at the expense of sellers. Industry-wide media measurement may solve issues, but often also brings new ones, causing further disruption to an already challenging environment.
What the market needs is a way to stimulate demand and bring logic and evidence in the pricing of traditional, static OOH sites, which represent over 95 per cent of the region’s outdoor inventory. The industry’s digital transformation will begin when OOH media owners quantify their audiences, analyse their advertising performance and ultimately optimise their pricing. This journey starts with harnessing existing data.
More OOH, not less
At around 10 per cent, the share of OOH in brands’ media investments pales in comparison with digital channels, which now claim the majority of ad dollars in MENA. Advertisers have increasingly relied on them as they demonstrate their performance with greater accountability and transparency. The pandemic only accelerated this trend.
To increase their share, outdoor media companies must play to their unique strengths and transform the way they market their inventory. Instead of selling space, time or even eyeballs (i.e. traffic), they need to provide both universal media buying metrics and clearly defined target audiences. This means richer demographic, behavioural, interest and other audience attributes, as well as enhanced media performance data. This is made possible by the collection, at scale, of GPS location signals from active mobile device movements around OOH sites and beyond.
With this information, outdoor media companies can better differentiate, elevate the sales process and redefine the relationship with buyers, firmly embedding the medium into more sophisticated media practices. Tracking mobile devices anonymously across outdoor locations and other relevant Points of Interest (POIs), such as places of residence, work and other lifestyle activities, they can paint an accurate profile of people exposed to each OOH site.
Mining their own data to analyse the audience of each site, outdoor media companies can differentiate their offering and help media buyers to select locations more precisely for their campaigns. Thanks to a much more precise site evaluation based on anonymised smartphone data, pioneering OOH companies have already won new or bigger budgets here in the GCC.
From static to dynamic with data
Using data for more than measurement, OOH companies can further integrate the medium into modern marketing. Brands can use the information from the devices detected in the vicinity of their outdoor locations to retarget them online. Combining this with other attributes, marketers can define and reach custom audiences, based on lifestyles or behaviours. With this, the place of outdoor in the conversion funnel, attribution model and media plans can only improve.
This data also makes dynamic pricing possible. Each site can be priced for each campaign based on its performance with a given audience or based on dynamic demand forecasts. Digital media grew with similar dynamic pricing techniques.
Several OOH companies have already transitioned to data with our GeoPlace OOH audience measurement, profiling and targeting solution and are busy exploring these data-driven opportunities. Because it is accessible and requires no hardware installation, it helps transform all outdoor media owners, be they large or small.
As traffic and demand for inventory are returning to pre-lockdown levels, now is the time to propel the medium forward. The transformation of OOH will see it moving away from price volatility to dynamic pricing, from static to dynamic audiences, and from a one-size-fits-all approach to precise targeting and retargeting.
The outdoor medium will become different, not just from what it was before but also meeting different expectations every time. Some are already investing in its future and are reaping the benefits. There’s still plenty of life in the world’s first advertising medium.


The financial crisis that so many citizens are still suffering has implied a worrying level of debt in Spain, being for them so difficult to face it. The Spanish Government thought it was required to approve by law a Second Chance “Real Decreto- ley”.
In broad strokes, the new Law has been adopted in order to put a corporation, legal entity, and an individual insolvency proceeding on the same level. So, either an employee or a freelance who is facing a debt situation, as long as they are acting in good faith, will be able to settle the debt using their estate, patrimony, within 5 years.
This new legislation has been created with the idea of making easier to find an alternative dispute resolution so as to reorganize the outstanding debts and pay them off. Nevertheless, it was a mistery wether if mortgages would be included or not, finally they have been subjected too.
On the other hand, this “Real Decreto” will not be applied to unpaid taxes which should have been satisfied to the Tax office and the Social Security.

Ever since bursting onto the EDM scene thanks to the 2007 hit “Till the Sky Falls Down”, the Dutch act known as Dash Berlin has consistently hit the heady heights of the top ten in DJ Mag’s prestigious yearly collection of the globe’s best DJs.
Formed in 2006, Dash Berlin made it big after Armin Van Burren included “Till The Sky Falls Down” on his Universal Religion trance mix album, which instantly got their music in front of a huge audience willing to try new music recommended by such a reputable name.
Even though the act is instantly recognizable as the face of Jeffrey Sutorius, there is, in fact, a ghost production arrangement going on behind-the-scenes that sheds the often unfairly maligned practice in an extremely positive light. It often comes as a surprise to EDM fans when they hear that Dash Berlin is not just one person.
Lurking in the shadows, preferring to concentrate on production rather than live performances, are Dash Berlin’s other two members — Eelke Kalberg and Sebastiaan Molijn. It’s interesting that Dash is always referred to as ‘he’, even though it’s “they”. But that’s just how Eelke and Sebastiaan want it. The duo have produced electronica for various artists in the past, including Alice Deejay’s Better Off Alone – one of the genre’s most popular tracks of all time, even for casual listeners.
They’re not shy about taking the credit for the music they produce, either. On some of Dash Berlin’s biggest tracks, including Till The Sky Falls Down” and “Waiting”, it’s actually Eelke and Sebastiaan who are listed as the producers, not Jeffrey Sutorius himself, the man thought to have produced the tracks by many EDM fans.
This unique arrangement works for all three members of Dash Berlin. Eelke and Sebastiaan essentially ghost produce for Jeffrey Sutorius, choosing to evade the limelight and focus on making music. Jeffrey is the face of Dash Berlin, he feeds off the energy of live audiences without worrying too much about being officially credited on all tracks.
It would not be stretching it to say that the cornerstone of the success of Dash Berlin is ghost production. The trio have found a method of using ghost production in a way that benefits all parties involved. Eelke and Sebastiaan get to pursue their passion for being in the studio while Jeffrey Sutorius gets to live his dream of performing live in front of thousands of people.
If Dash Berlin isn’t a perfect case study for how great ghost production can work, then nothing is. The arrangement isn’t too dissimilar to that of Benny Benassi, who uses his brother as a ghost producer and doesn’t hide it.
In the case of Dash Berlin, one thing is clear. Without their unique ghost production arrangement, the act would’ve got where it is today because this arrangement allows the right resources to be utilized in the right places.

Colorado Division of Gaming Launched Self-Exclusion Program
Lakewood, Colo. (September 13, 2023) – Just in time for September’s Responsible Gaming Education Month, the Colorado Division of Gaming (DOG, part of the Colorado Department of
Revenue) officially launched the state’s Self-Exclusion program.
The Self-Exclusion program allows individuals with responsible gaming concerns to enroll to be excluded from Colorado regulated gaming. Previously, the Problem Gambling Coalition of Colorado (PGCC) enrolled individuals and managed the self-exclusion list.
“The Division of Gaming is committed to promoting responsible gaming in the Colorado gaming industry, and the launch of the state’s Self-Exclusion program is an exciting advancement for our
state,” said Christopher Schroder, Director of the Colorado Division of Gaming. “We appreciate all of the work that the PGCC has done to get the Self-Exclusion program to this point. They are an
excellent partner in this important work.”
A person may voluntarily apply to be self-excluded from gaming in Colorado. Individual self-exclusion means that an individual has made a conscious voluntary effort to exclude themselves from all forms of gaming under the regulatory purview of the Colorado Limited Gaming Control Commission and the Colorado Division of Gaming, including gambling at casinos and placing sports
wagers at on-site and online sportsbooks. The exclusion period options are one year, three years or five years.
While the vast majority of these sign-ups will be completed online, individuals wishing to enroll in the self-exclusion list can also join by visiting a DOG office or by printing the form, having it notarized and mailing it into a DOG office.
Limited Gaming Rule 29 and Sports Betting Rule 9 established responsible gaming duties and requirements for Casinos and Sports Betting Operations, as well as guidance to individuals who wish to self-exclude from gaming in Colorado. These rules also established the Colorado Division of Gaming as the custodian of the self-exclusion list. The self-exclusion list has already been disseminated to members of the Gaming industry in Colorado, which will allow industry members to be able to take the appropriate steps in preventing enrolled individuals from gambling.
In the Division’s continued efforts to prevent problem gambling, the goal over the next year is to build a robust and technology leveraged website to make signups and dissemination as efficient as
The Colorado Department of Revenue’s Division of Gaming ensures honesty and integrity in the Colorado gaming industry.
The Colorado Department of Revenue works to be a trusted partner to every Coloradan to help them navigate the complexities of government so they can thrive.

I’m not a rabid fan of true-crime series, but a scripted version of a true crime does hold some appeal, especially since it will feature two fine actors.
Toni Collette will star with Colin Firth in “The Staircase,” an HBO Max limited series based on the docuseries of the same name (available on Netflix). It’s about Michael Peterson, who was convicted of murdering his wife, Kathleen, in 2001. In the twisty case, Peterson claimed that she’d fallen down the stairs after consuming Valium and alcohol, but the autopsy results included blows by a blunt object as part of the cause of death.
Collette recently starred in Netflix’s excellent procedural miniseries “Unbelievable,” based on the true case of a serial rapist. And Firth recently gave a moving performance (alongside one by Stanley Tucci) in the movie “Supernova.”

I wanted a little something sweet tonight, but I didn't want it badly enough to get dressed and go to the grocery store. My problem: I had no butter. Sugar, yes. Flour, yes. Butter, no. Argh!
So, I decided to experiment with an olive oil shortbread. I called it "La Fée Verte" because it has a splash of absinthe and a sprinkling of fennel pollen. This was easy to make - 7 ingredients in all, about 2 minutes active time, 50 minutes of baking, and 20 minutes of cooling. So, in your hand in less than 75 minutes. Awesome!
- 3 C white whole wheat flour
- 1 C organic powdered sugar
- 1/4 C organic granulated sugar
- 1 T absinthe
- 1/4 t fennel pollen
- 1/2 t fleur de sel
- 1 C olive oil
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugars, absinthe, fennel pollen, and fleur de sel. Pour in the olive oil and stir until the dry mixture is completely incorporated into a cohesive ball.
Transfer the dough to a 10" round baking dish. My stoneware didn't require greasing, but you might want to grease your dish first. Use your fingers to press the dough into an even layer. Prick the surface of the dough all over with a fork; I also cut score marks for the wedges.
Bake until the surface feels firm to the touch and is slightly golden around the edges, approximately 50 to 55 minutes. Remove from oven, re-score the shortbread, and let cool for 20 minutes.
Using a very sharp knife, slice the shortbread into the wedges. Let cool completely before removing from the pan.
mmm....this looks soooo good!ReplyDelete
I love baking with olive oil!ReplyDelete
That looks good!ReplyDelete
I made cake with olive oil once and it came out pretty darn good. This looks super yummy! The hubs loves shortbread. I will have to try this version out the next time he comes asking for it.ReplyDelete
Oh wow, this looks so good! :) Thank for sharing.ReplyDelete
