Hundreds of new political spending committees have emerged across Florida sparked by the Legislature’s latest campaign finance overhaul — a move hailed by Republican leaders but drawing little more than shrugs from ethics advocates.
The new fund-raising vehicles replace committees of continuous existence, which officially closed forever Monday. CCEs were criticized for years as being little more than slush funds that allowed state lawmakers to collect and spend unlimited amounts of campaign cash.
But, the reform effort may be hard to spot.
Most of the freshly hatched political committees bear the same, shadowy, feel-good names as the CCEs they’re replacing. And they can take in and spend the same high volumes of special interest cash that previously flowed to lawmakers.
While 670 CCEs officially went dark, 457 political committees sprang to life, according to the Florida Division of Elections.
Still, legislative leaders cast the change as reform because political committees must now provide more frequent public reporting of their fund-raising and spending. Another new provision seeks to bar lawmakers from living off the cash they collect.
“Will the new law change life as we know it? Not really,” said Mark Herron, an elections and ethics law attorney who works closely with Democratic candidates.
With an election season fast approaching, banning CCEs was a top priority last spring for House Speaker Will Weatherford, R-Wesley Chapel, and Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, with the Senate boss condemning the practice by some lawmakers of enjoying “filet mignon lifestyles” on contributors’ money.
Dan Krassner of the watchdog group Integrity Florida said the changes should make the state’s campaign finance system “more transparent and accessible.”
“Unfortunately, there are still some bad actors who are going to make it harder for the public to follow the money,” Krassner said.
CCEs were around in Florida for 40 years, used mostly by trade associations, professional groups and such membership organizations as teachers, police and firefighters.
But only in the past decade have lawmakers found a way to use them to collect checks topping tens of thousands of dollars or more – far in excess of the state’s $500 limit on individual or corporate donations.
The Legislature’s reform effort also is likely to increase money flowing into campaigns.
While banning CCEs, lawmakers increased the individual limit on donations to legislative and local candidates from $500 to $1,000, and to statewide candidates from $500 to $3,000.
That change, which takes effect Nov. 1, is the first increase in Florida contribution limits in more than 20 years. But it was also enough to make the Florida League of Women Voters dismiss the reform effort.
“We do not see this as a step forward,” said Deirdre Macnab, League president.
For their part, CCEs were largely money pumps.
They collected contributions and distributed them to other committees. But if the money was going to be used for TV ads or mailers, it had to flow to yet another outlet – typically, electioneering communications organizations.
Such cash-shifting created what critics called a “Russian-doll syndrome,” which gave average voters little chance of understanding the real source of money, said those who track political spending.
The new political committees will be able to raise and spend money directly on campaign-related activity. And supporters say that should be able to help voters follow the money.
Still, like their now-banned predecessors, politial committees bear opaque names.
Sen. Joe Abruzzo, D-Wellington, last month closed his CCE, Citizens for Integrity in Government, that helped him raise and spend $225,000 over the last two-year election cycle, in addition to what he raised through his own candidate account.
Abruzzo and another Democrat, Rep. Karen Castor Dentel of Orlando, have reopened the CCE as a political committee bearing the same name. Others CCEs opened and closed carry such names as Florida Heritage, Florida Conservative Alliance and Veterans for Conservative Principles.
Even with the change, the Russian-doll action apparently will continue.
When Veterans for Conservative Principles closed, the CCE chaired by Rep. Frank Artiles, R-Miami, sent its last $66,000 to another electioneering organization called the Committee to Protect Florida’s Seniors, which then gave the money to Manatee Against Taxation, a political committee.
David Ramba, the Veterans’ committee’s treasurer, lobbyist and campaign consultant, acknowledged he steered the cash toward an issue he was involved in.
“Sometimes you don’t always want to make it apparent where the money is from,” Ramba said.
Of the new law, he added, “It’s more transparent. But campaign spending is more wide-open than it’s ever been.”
New campaign finance law
These parts go into effect Nov. 1:
- Increases campaign finance reporting to monthly, from quarterly reports.
- Boosts individual contribution limits from $500 to $3,000 for statewide and Supreme Court candidates; t to $1,000 for legislative, county and city candidates.
- Allows candidates for state office to keep $20,000 in surplus funds for next election; limits them from giving more than $25,000 in leftover cash to political party.

(Reuters) -World Athletics banned Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials from all events for the foreseeable future on Tuesday, as more sporting bodies sanctioned athletes from the two countries in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Since the start of what Russian President Vladimir Putin has called “a special military operation” last week, Russian and Belarusian teams and athletes have found themselves frozen out from international competitions across a number of sports.
Belarus has been a key staging area for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
On Monday, the International Olympic Committee’s (IOC) executive board recommended sports federations ban Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials from competing in events.
World Athletics said its council also agreed to consider further measures, including the suspension of the Belarus Federation, at its scheduled Council meeting next week.
The Russian Athletics Federation has been suspended from World Athletics since 2015 due to doping violations, and hence its competitors have not been allowed to compete under the country’s flag at international events.
World Athletics said the new sanction also included Russian athletes who had the Authorised Neutral Athlete (ANA) status in 2022.
“Anyone who knows me will understand that imposing sanctions on athletes because of the actions of their government goes against the grain,” said World Athletics President Sebastian Coe.
“I have railed against the practice of politicians targeting athletes and sport to make political points when other sectors continue about their business.
“This is different as governments, business and other international organisations have imposed sanctions and measures against Russia across all sectors. Sport has to step up and join these efforts to end this war and restore peace. We cannot and should not sit this one out.”
The badminton federation (BWF) banned Russian and Belarusian athletes and officials from international competition from next Tuesday.
However, the BWF said it is allowing Russian players to compete at two Para badminton tournaments in Spain this week as they have already arrived on location.
“These players, however, will compete as neutral athletes, with no national flags or anthems,” the BWF added.
The global governing bodies for rowing, skiing (FIS) and volleyball (FIVB) have also banned Russian and Belarusian athletes from international competitions until further notice.
“With immediate effect, no Russian or Belarusian athlete shall participate in any FIS competition at any level through the end of the 2021-2022 season,” FIS said in a statement.
FIVB’s ban covers all teams, clubs and officials across beach and snow volleyball too. The decision came shortly after FIVB had stripped Russia of the men’s world championship.
The international shooting federation (ISSF) said Russian and Belarusian athletes stopped participation during the ISSF World Cup Rifle/Pistol in Cairo, Egypt.
German sportswear company Adidas suspended its partnership with the Russian Football Union (RFS) with immediate effect on Tuesday.
Swimming’s world governing body FINA, which on Sunday called off the World Junior Swimming Championships in Kazan, Russia, said on Tuesday that Russian and Belarusian athletes could only compete as neutral athletes or neutral teams.
“No national symbols, colours, flags should be displayed or anthems should be played in international Aquatics events which are not already part of the respective World Anti-Doping Agency sanctions for Russia,” FINA said.
It added that the FINA Order awarded to Russian President Vladimir Putin in 2014 has been withdrawn.
Paralympic committees from the U.S. and Canada (CPC) said Russian and Belarusian athletes should not be allowed to compete at international sporting events, including the Beijing Paralympics which begins on Friday.
The CPC also urged the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) to “consider revoking the memberships of Russia and Belarus” from the IPC.
The IPC will meet on Wednesday to discuss Russia ahead of the Beijing Games.

I am shooting 250 gr. SW cutters from Missouri Bullets over 40 gr. of Goex FFFg. The bullet is well lubed.
It took me some time and effort to find the load I liked and to actually make the rounds. Fingers is correct, you basically fill the case, seat the bullet and have fun smoking the competition away. (Thanks Fingers Mcgee, I followed your advice and it worked... Now if you could just send me the winning numbers for powerball...)
I used felt wads in some of the round and just powder and bullet in others. I did not notice any difference. Biggest things to remember is black powder is not weighed and always make sure your powder is compressed with no space between the bullet and the powder.
If you are not comfortable loading 40 grains of FFFg, you could reduce it and then take the space up with the felt wads.
August 2, 2010, 11:23 AM
Sorry Buck, Once I figure the numbers out, I'm gonna keep em.
Last time I loaded .45s, (which has been 6 or 7 years ago. I only shoot 44-40s and .38s now), I used about 30 gr of cartridge IIRC. It gave about 1/16" compression and was a pretty accurate load under a 250 gr RNFP. With my 44-40s and .38s, I only use enough powder to give 1/16 to 1/8 inch compression and eliminate the air space. CAS isn't precision shooting, so as long as I can hit the target wth a center hold, I'm happy.

Blake Shelton’s hair does not seem to undermine the appearance of Gwen Stefani.
On Thursday, Gwen Stefani shares Blake Shelton’s mullet photo went to Instagram to share a memory of her country singer. In the black and white snapshot, young Blake uses a completely different hairstyle to the short waves that his fans have become accustomed to.
At the beginning of his musical career, the budding star’s hairstyle was a dark and opulent mullet with feathered edges in the front and wild curls on the shoulders in the back.
In Gwen’s old photograph, Blake doesn’t seem to have the impression of cutting his hair, which would be ridiculous and ridiculous. With a slight smile, he looks confidently at the camera and crosses his arms. One thing that hasn’t changed since the capture is Blake’s love for plaid shirts, but it’s not normally hidden today.
Gwen Stefani doesn’t seem to mind Blake Shelton’s outdated hairstyle. He captioned the regression photo with a nostalgic comment that he wanted to meet Blake in his wild years.
Unfortunately, she did not reveal Blake’s age at the time of the snapshot.
Some followers of Gwen on Instagram agreed that their lives would have been much better if Blake had been there before. After all, the No Doubt singer spent 13 years with a man who ignored her marriage cheating on her son’s nanny. According to Us Weekly, former Bush leader Gavin Rossdale had a three-year relationship with the young woman who was paid to care for her children.
“You’re the cutest Lovebird! It wouldn’t have been great! Read an answer to Gwen’s message.
“You have beautiful babies,” commented another.
Gwen Stefani did not reveal if his comment had anything to do with the desire to have biological children with Blake Shelton, but the 49-year-old voice coach could have babies in his brain. As the Inquisition had already reported, his friend recently joked about the nonexistent twins in which the tabloids insist that Gwen is pregnant.
Other fans speculated that Gwen had another reason to meet Blake when they were younger.
“Maybe you could have told him about another haircut,” joked one of Gwen’s followers.
Many fans disapprove of the feeling that the singer “Make Me Like You” expressed in her speech. Some of them said that Stefani’s three children – Kingston (13), Zuma (11) and Apollo (5) – would not exist. if he met Shelton at the age he is in the photo.
“You don’t have your children,” is a comment.
Others have argued that they had the best version of Blake or that it was worth the wait …

The official opening for the Rio Olympics 2016 is near. However, the question on the athletes’ safety remains a concern. This issue bothers swimmers like Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky from the US.
Experts revealed disturbing results based from the series of tests conducted on the waters in the country. It was proven that the swimmers only needed to swallow three teaspoons of the Brazilian waters to suffer infectious diseases.
Generally speaking, the athletes’ exposure to these waters might end their Olympic journey with severe illnesses if infected.
Obviously, those games exposed to water contact such as swimming, rowing, or even the beach volleyball in Copacabana were considered prone to these hazards.
The reports mentioned there will be an expected 1,400 athletes from different countries around the globe at risk.
The locations where high contamination and possibly contain dangerously high levels of viruses were noted. These are the venues of the aquatic Olympic and Paraympic venues.
Dr. Valerie Harwood, chair of the Department of Integrative Biology in University of South Florida, emphasized that these kinds of viruses packed in these waters were unheard in the American waters.
These pathogens can cause severe consequences to athletes any time at the highest level possible. This will happen if preventive measures were not properly implemented.
These included taking antibiotics, bleaching oars and donning plastic suits as well as gloves to lessen the body’s exposure to the water.
That being said, big names in water sports like swimming such as Michael Phelps and Katie Ledecky from the United States were expected to be in danger.
They earlier confirmed their active participation in Rio Olympics 2016 next week. Both of them will represent the US in 4x100m swimming relay category.
Ledecky will also play for 4×200 freestyle relay, USA Today noted. As anticipated from the two, they could land in the second place or first, if they’re fortunate enough.
However, this quest will remain questionable as far as the health is concerned. Brazil’s continuous battle against their sewage problem became a hurdle until now.
In fact, according to Marco Moscatelli, the country has not resolved this issue since years.
By next week, it’s anticipated to witness hundreds of athletes including Phelps and prone to these pathogenic viruses.
If these precautions were not properly implemented, expecting sick athletes at the end of Rio Olympics 2016 is predicted. Hopefully, they will be safe and sound until the Olympic ends in August 21.

Next year, it is highly likely that Nigeria will be among the ten African countries offering 5G. The controversy around mobile technology as the cause of Covid-19 resolved, the telecoms regulator is already preparing its launch on the market.
The Communications Commission of Nigeria (NCC) has started to draft the information memorandum for the sale of the frequency spectrum in the 3.5 GHz band, intended for the early deployment of 5G in the country. On Saturday 19 June, a special committee was set up for this purpose by Umar Garba Danbatta (photo), the executive vice-president of the NCC. The information memorandum that it will produce will define, among other things, the process adopted by the NCC for the sale of frequency spectrum, details on its availability, the prequalification process, the auction process, the indicative timetable.
Umar Garba Danbatta said that Nigeria’s obtaining harmonized frequencies for the deployment of 5G in Nigeria is the fruit of many efforts initiated by national governmental and non-governmental organizations concerned with telecommunications, at national, regional and continental. He also indicated that thanks to additional efforts, the country which faced a problem of insufficient allocation of frequencies even obtained 160 MHz additional in the 3.5 GHz band.
The NCC’s preparations for the sale of telecom frequencies intended for 5G come a few weeks after the findings of the Senate investigation into mobile technology. Revealed on May 19, they demonstrated the harmless impact of 5G on health. The investigation entrusted on May 5 to the Senate committee in charge of health, communications, science, technology and cybercrime had been initiated following the beginning of collective hysteria born of information disseminated on the networks social reports that 5G was a source of Covid-19.
The official opening of the process of selling frequencies for 5G, it is very likely that it will occur at the end of the year. In the meantime, the government agencies in charge of telecoms issues will endeavor to put in place all the technical conditions essential to the advent of very high mobile broadband on the market. Nigeria will then join the ten African countries that have already launched 5G. The government relies on technology to support its digital transformation.

standard S3 brake caliper question
i have an x plate s3, and my mate changed the front discs and pads over this morning.
when changing the NSF the piston was an absolute nightmare to get back in, it was absolutely solid and wouldn't go back at all. eventually had to use a vice to push the piston back.
after putting everything back on, road testing it etc, the OSF disc is hot, but not untouchable, however the NSF is a lot hotter. we now think the pads are binding because the piston might not be working properly.
I'm looking to change the actual caliper itself (there's nothing wrong with the carrier), so i need to know which other cars have the same single piston 54mm caliper?
Does anyone have any suggestions or a definitive list of what cars i could DEFINATELY get a caliper from that will work?
Re: standard S3 brake caliper question
I use a company called bigg red to refurb calipers they do a great job.

Russia Tests Anti-Satellite Weapon, US Military Says
U.S. Space Command reports it has evidence that Russia recently conducted an anti-satellite weapons test.
In a Thursday announcement, Space Command said Russia released a new object into orbit from Cosmos 2543 in proximity to another Russian satellite. This is similar to on-orbit activity conducted by Russia in 2017, and it is inconsistent with the system’s purpose as an inspector satellite.
In February of this year, Space Command raised concerns about this same satellite system when a Russian satellite maneuvered near a U.S. government satellite. Then in April, military officials said that Russia tested a Direct-Ascent Anti-Satellite (DA-ASAT) missile capable of destroying satellites in Low-Earth Orbit (LEO).
“This is further evidence of Russia’s continuing efforts to develop and test space-based systems, and consistent with the Kremlin’s published military doctrine to employ weapons that hold U.S. and allied space assets at risk,” said Gen. John W. “Jay” Raymond, commander of U.S. Space Command and U.S. Space Force Chief of Space Operations.
The Department of State, called the behavior “hypocritical and concerning.”
“This event highlights Russia’s hypocritical advocacy of outer space arms control, with which Moscow aims to restrict the capabilities of the United States while clearly having no intention of halting its own counterspace program — both ground-based anti-satellite capabilities and what would appear to be actual in-orbit anti-satellite weaponry,” said U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Dr. Christopher Ford.

Mahalo for visiting my page! I'm Nālani Dudoit, a native Hawaiian woman from Lahaina, Maui.
My love for hula began at the age of five, just like most island girls, in a hālau (hula school). My hula career began at the Old Lahaina Lūʻau and it opened my heart to another passion of mine today, the Tahitian dance. Shortly after working there, I joined a Tahitian hālau. Learning hula and Tahitian from my elders has taught me to respect everyone's feelings and beliefs, and yet to know my own.
I have also been blessed to meet many native Hawaiian speakers and have developed yet another passion of mine, the Hawaiian culture and its language.
Hawaii has out lived many waves of people, cultures, and styles but one thing has remained, the aloha of the people from here. I want you to know that true aloha of Hawaii. I am very excited to share my knowledge with you.
A hui hou, until we meet again.

Carrying on with our VSAN enabled nested environment, we’ll be deploying our new hosts using the VCSA and the web client and not the C# client. Reason? Well we will be setting specific parameters for the vCPU to pass through the virtualization extensions. otherwise we will need to do this by editing the VMX file.
Now that we have the networking in place that we configured in the previous post we’ll go on to deploy three ESXi VM’s.
Each host should have the following spec:
- 2 X CPU or cores (Min requirement for ESXi)
- 6GB Ram (Min requirement for VSAN)
- 2 X Nics on the VM Network
- 2 X Nics of the LAN Network
- 1 X 10g HDD disk (ESXi install)
- 1 X SSD disk for the caching tier.
- 1 X HDD for data Tier.
The VSAN disk configuration of my nested ESXi servers is:
- 1 X 40GB SSD
- 1 X 100GB HDD
This configuration worked for me ask I was able to run a couple of smaller VM’s in my nested environment. I was also able to add a second 100GB HDD to continue to test VSAN functionality, such as striping and disk policies.
Installing a nested ESXi host.
1. Log in using an account that has permission to configure the environment.
2. Select Home and the Hosts and Clusters
3. Select the Hosts and Clusters icon and then select your primary host, right click and Select New Virtual Machine and New Virtual Machine.
4. Select the Create New Virtual Machine and Click Next.
5. Give the Virtual Machine a name and select the Datacenter we created in Part 7 and Click Next.
6. Select your physical host for the Compute Resource and Click Next.
6. Select the disk you want to run the ESXi host on and Click Next. If you have both a SSD and a HDD look to put the primary disk on the HDD. Once ESXi boots it runs mostly in memory.
7. Select Compatable With: ESXi 6.0 and later and Click Next.
7. Guest OS Family set to Other and Guest OS Version: Version ESXi 6.x and Click Next.
8. Ok so a fair bit to do here:
8.1. Set the VM to have two cores and one CPU. This will save on licensing if you have a VMUG advantage subscription. In addition you need to tick the Hardware Virtualization check box to pass through the additional virtualization features of the CPU. If you don’t you’ll get an error during install.
8.2. 6 GB Ram as the minimum supported with VSAN enabled nodes.
8.3. Your first HDD reduce to 10GB
8.4. Add three additional Nic’s. Set them in this order. NIC 1 and NIC2 on the VM Network, NIC 3 and NIC4 on the LAN Network. Ensure that you set you NIC type to VMXNET3.
8.5. Add two disks. One SSD and One HDD. The SSD can be small,10GB, if required. and the HDD should be at least 50GB. If you don’t have an SSD, have a look at the end of this post and I’ll include a link to instructions which will show you how to “fool” ESXi into thinking you have a SSD when you don’t.
8.6. Add the ESXi ISO to the new CD/DVD Drive, check the Connect Check box.
8.6. Click Next,
9. Review your changes and click Next.
A brief pause here to look at what we’ve built. One ESXi VM with the components necessary for to to be a part of a VSAN cluster.
10. Power on the VM. Right Click the VM and select Power On.
11. Open a console to the VM. (Click Launch Remote Console).
12. Boot Strapping and kernel goodness loading
11. More goodness
12. Press Enter
13. Press F11
14. Select the small 10GB disk (not the SSD).
15. Choose your keyboard type and press Enter.
16. Enter in your root password and confirm.
18.1 This error will appear if you have not set the Hardware Virtualization Flag in the CPU settings of the VM and you’ll need to go back and set it.
18.2 Example of the Settings.
19. Press F11.
21. Press Enter
22. VM rebooting.
There we go one working ESXi VM. Now we are going to need another two of these to make up the three minimum required for VSAN.
To mark a disk as SSD; This is one way
to do it and this is another
I’ve tried both methods and they work. I personally prefer William Lam’s method.

Shawn Fogel's Neutral Uke Hotel project is taking on a life of its own. We see bright things in not only Fogel's project but the ukulele in general. OK, so maybe that's a stretch, but the Golden Bloom mastermind's matchless take on Neutral Milk Hotel's seminal album In the Aeroplane Over the Sea has an amazing potential to turn into something big. If you're a '90s indie rock fan and you live in the Cambridge/Somerville area of Massachusetts, you don't want to miss out on this experience.
Fogel will perform Neutral Milk Hotel's In The Aeroplane Over the Sea in its entirety on the ukulele on May 7 at Arts at the Armory in Somerville, MA. Tickets are only $7 so they are already selling fast. The venue only has a 50 person capacity, making this a very, very exclusive show.
The show takes place in a historical building, turned into a venue. The Armory was built in 1903 by George A. Moore to house the Somerville Light Infantry of the Massachusetts Volunteer Militia. In 2004 it was updated to house classes, art, comedy and music events, making this show an entirely unique experience.

text: The narrow-band portions of the echolocation pulses seen in cf-bats are a hypothetical substrate for target localization. This localization could be based on estimates of echo envelope amplitude and carrier frequency together with their derivatives. Evaluation of these parameters is referred to as "acoustic flow" in loose analogy to optic flow. It is assessed whether the requirements for this task may be reconciled with known principles of auditory function. For the evaluation of a single echo, this seems to be the case: auditory filter shapes provide sufficient frequency resolution; at the same time envelopes are preserved well and some noise removal is achieved. Nevertheless, should bats not be endowed with additional capabilities for noise removal, analysis of acoustic flow would be limited to favorable signal-to-noise ratios. Multiple, temporally overlapping echoes are probable in any realistic echolocation scenario. In this case, additional auditory processing steps have to be postulated, which allow simultaneous estimation of multiple carrier frequencies and reduction of demodulation distortions.

You probably know the words “information” and “literacy,” but the term information literacy may be unfamiliar. Simply put, information literacy means having the skills to competently evaluate various types of knowledge. See Figure 3.1.
Figure 3.1: Information Literacy
Becoming information literate is a professional expectation. You are expected to “seek new information, knowledge and best practices for use in the provision of nursing care” (College of Nurses of Ontario, 2014, p. 7). Information literacy is an important skill because there are vast quantities and varying qualities of nursing and health-related information. At times, the information that you discover through literature searches may be contradictory. As a nurse, you need to determine whether the information you are reviewing is high quality, reliable, and relevant to your practice. Additionally, clients and their families will sometimes ask you about something they have heard about from friends, or found on the Web, or heard on the news. You need to know how to sift through information and critically evaluate it.
Figure 3.2: Using information literacy skills
You will use information literacy skills to evaluate the quality and relevance of information. Ultimately, information literacy is a combination of skills that involves:
- Recognizing when information is needed.
- Identifying relevant information.
- Searching and locating the information.
- Evaluating the information.
In this chapter, you will learn how to become information literate!

|Title:||Vertically Dispersive Holographic Screens And Autostereoscopic Displays In 3d Medical Imaging|
|Abstract:||In this work we describe a setup employed for the recording of vertical dispersive holographic screens that can be used for medical applications. We show how to obtain holographic screens with areas up to 1200 cm2, focal length of 25±2 cm and diffraction efficiency of 7.2%. We analyze the technique employed and the holographic screens obtained. Using this screen we describe a setup for the projection of Magnetic Resonance or Tomographic Images. We also describe and present the first results of an autostereoscopic system for 3D medical imaging. © 2011 Copyright Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers (SPIE).|

Mikimoto has announced a collaboration with Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto. Yamamoto will design a 20 piece collection centering around the Mikimoto’s signature pearl. The pearl is a symbol of feminine perfection, and, in the quintessential universe of fine jewelry, it stands alone. For these reasons Mikimoto’s incomparable reputation for designing, producing and selling the world’s finest cultured pearl jewelry made it a perfect choice for Yohji Yamamoto.”
Yamamoto rose to fame in the 80’s as part of Japanese 3, with Rei Kawakubo of Commes Des Garcons and Issey Miyake, bringing avant garde fashion to Paris. Previous Mikimoto collaborations include Carolina Herrera, Badgley Mischka, Oscar De La Renta and Vera Wang.

Remember the adorable robot Wall-E? An American Company called ‘Anki’ has just built a robot that can be best described as the Disney character. The small robot called Cozmo is probably the cutest robot we have seen in recent times and it’s life-like enough to evoke emotions, sympathy and even snore when it’s sleeping. Based on the anthropomorphic animated character WALL-E, Cozmo is probably the best toy-like robot in the market today. Earlier, the Star Wars franchise released a similar robot based on their popular character “BB-8”.
Cozmo comes to life with a simple tap on a smartphone screen. From the official video, we can see that Cozmo can make subtle motions to indicate it is shaking and begins moving over to the edge of the table. When it gets too close to the edge, Cozmo comes to a halt and looks over the edge, expressing fear and nervousness as you would expect from WALL-E.
The Cozmo can remember faces and chirps when it comes across strangers in an effort to recognise them with a hard look. The robot is as small as your two fists and will cost around $180. Cozmo is programmed to learn about its environment and it also comes with software development kit which can be used to tweak the toy and add new features.

Check out what the Cozmo can do in the video below:

Volleyball Finishes Third in the Nation
The Kentucky Christian University volleyball team played in one of the two semi-final matches of the NCCAA National Tournament on Saturday. KCU faced off against Maranatha Baptist Bible College at 12pm and lost 3-1.
After a success run in their pool, going 3-1, the Lady Knights made it to the semi-finals of the National Tournament. This is the furthest the team has gone at Nationals.
The Lady Knights started the game with a lot of energy and used the momentum of making to Saturday to get the 25-21 victory in the first set. In the second set Maranatha’s experience showed up and they were able to use it to defeat KCU 25-13, 25-14, and 25-17 to win the game 3-1.
“Although this hurts now, we know we had a special season and nothing can take that away. Our team is young and a performance like this will build a great foundation for the future. I’m extremely proud of their efforts and the overall season!” Head Coach Bruce Dixon couldn’t be prouder of his team.

Extra Boaters, Extra Danger
With July 4 falling on a Wednesday, the water patrol will have to work non-stop both the weekend before and after. They will, however, have ten days of help from the Coast Guard.
"It gets a little rambunctious and people don't always listen, but we're not trying to ruin anybody's weekend," said Federal Coast Gaurd officer Kyle Retzlaff.
The Guard will have two patrol boats and share the same goal as the state officers.
"Anytime you can increase visibility of law enforcement on the water you can increase safety," said Public Information Director Lt. Nick Humphrey. "That's the Water Patrol's mission, and I know that is the Coast Guard's mission as well."
The officers stress it's up to the boaters to make the right decisions. With alcohol playing a role in all seven lake deaths this year, it's clear that drinking and boating don't go together.
"The first thing to go is your judgment when you start drinking," said Water Patrol Officer Dan Bartlett. "You think you can swim farther or go down deeper than you actually can. That's when you fall into trouble."
The coast guard officers start their patrols Saturday morning.

Lake Highlands High School grad Caroline Wilder should be studying for college exams this week, but she’s distracted and worried about her friend, Lauren Scruggs. Lauren is the young woman from Plano who walked into the propeller of a small plane Saturday night after a trip to see Christmas lights from the air.
Caroline and Lauren became friends at Prestonwood Baptist Church, staying in touch after Caroline headed off to Oklahoma State University to study apparel design and production. Lauren, editor of the online fashion magazine Lolo, even featured Caroline’s fashion blog “Death of Chivalry” on her website and had high praise for her work (look for her designs under the name Caroline Christine).
Lauren’s parents, Jeff and Cheryl, say – in typical Lauren style – she went back to thank the pilot, not realizing that the prop was still spinning and dangerous. She’s lost one hand and has extensive damage to her face, but doctors are hoping she won’t lose an eye. An info site at Caringbridge.org has been set up to follow her recovery.
If you feel a desire to contribute to Lauren’s medical bills, you can donate online via her magazine’s website here.

Ausvegas Blackjack online is an enormously popular casino game, and it is one often requiring more skill than mere luck, especially in comparison to other casino games. Both land based and online blackjack are favourites, and players can choose from playing for free, with minimal bets, or with exorbitant amounts. Regardless, they are guaranteed to have a thrilling time once engaged in play.
The Basics of the Game
Blackjack, also referred to as Twenty-One, is a card game. The goal of the game is to get a hand closest in numeric value to 21, hence the synonymous name, without going over 21. The player’s cards are only compared in value to the cards of the dealer, and the other players are insignificant. As long as the player’s cards equal or surpass the value of the cards of the dealer, a win can be made.
Blackjack follows very strict rules and the player gets to make many of the decisions. This is why it is commonly referred to as a game requiring more skill than other casino games. The value of the cards is the only thing of importance. Cards are taken at face value, while the Jack, Queen, and King are valued at 10. The Ace can either be valued at 1 or at 11. By choosing the Ace to be one or the other, the player can influence the final outcome of the game.
The Rules of the Game
After bets have been placed on the table, each player and the dealer receive two cards. The dealer’s cards are placed one up and one down, giving the players a glimpse of what they’re up against. The players’ cards are laid out either both facing up, both facing down, or one up and one down, depending on the house rules. The total of all the cards in a player’s hand determines his score.
After the first two cards are dealt, the player must decide if he wants a hit, that is, taking another card, in hoping to achieve the elusive 21. Alternatively, the player can decide to stand, that is, not take another card.
If the first two cards equal 21, this is called a blackjack, and the player wins. If the player ties with the dealer, this is called a push or a stand off, and the hand is simply ended.
Before the player decides to take a hit, he may double the bet and only take one more card facing up, which is called doubling down. If the player is dealt a pair, he can split the pair into two hands and play both hands separately, which is referred to as splitting pairs. If the dealer’s card facing up is an Ace, the player can decide to take insurance, which is usually calculated as 50% of the original bet, and is seen as insurance against the dealer having an online blackjack for real money.
Playing Blackjack Online
As may be evident, the rules of the game are fairly complicated, and the player’s decisions have a massive effect on the outcome of the game. The rules of online blackjack are the same, but instead of responding to a dealer, there will be buttons that enable the player to hit, stand, buy insurance, double down, etcetera. Furthermore, online blackjack often allows for the opportunity to play free games, giving players new to the game a chance to practice. Online https://realmoneycasino.biz/blackjack/, then, is great for avid players to practise before playing or to stay at the top of their game.
