Yesterday I said it took three tries to kill state funding for Governor Kristi Noem’s Rapid City shooting range. I spoke too soon: gun advocates in the House tried a fourth time yesterday to shake $2.5 million in tax dollars loose to build the $12-million bang-bang-o-plex in Meade County.
A six-man conference committee met yesterday to hash out House and Senate differences over House Bill 1166, occasional socialist Representative Tom Pischke’s (R-25/Dell Rapids) effort to snag a million bucks to improve 485th Street from Highway 11 on the southwest edge of Garretson to the former entrance into Palisades State Park between 255th and 256th Street. That road also happens to lead to the River Ridge Golf Course and some nice houses on Fairway Circle. HB 1166 has bounced between appropriations directly to the Department of Transportation to do the work to a $200,000 to Game Fish and Parks to support a grant with matching funds to fix the road.
But Senator David Johnson (R-33/Hisega) brought a second-subject surprise to conference. He tried to shoehorn into HB 1166 the $2.5 million in general funds and $2.5 million in other fund spending authority that the defeated Senate Bill 175 and House Bill 1049 had sought for the Rapid City shooting range.
Building a new shooting range and repaving an existing public road, two projects 365 miles apart—what ever happened to the single-subject rule?
Mindful of the South Dakota Constitution’s edict that “No law shall embrace more than one subject, which shall be expressed in its title,” Senator Johnson demonstrated the infinite malleability of that edict by proposing that the title be changed from “make an appropriation for road improvements leading to the former entrance into the Palisades State Park” to “make an appropriation for supporting and improving recreational opportunities in this state.”
Conference committee member Senator John Wiik (R-4/Big Stone City) seconded Senator Johnson’s amendment. But Representative Pischke was having none of this second-subject logrolling, and neither were his Republican Dell Rapids colleagues Representative Jon Hansen and Senator Marsha Symens nor Democratic Representative Oren Lesmeister (D-28A/Parade): they killed the shooting range amendment.
Denied their gun range, Johnson moved and Wiik seconded to let HB 1166 die without concurrence or a new conference committee. Hansen, Symens, and Lesmeister all said, enough already, and let Pischke’s golf-course road die.
The Rapid City shooting range itself isn’t dead, just an immediate infusion of cash from the general fund. Game Fish and Parks still intends to build the facility with existing spending authority and donations, which is one of the reasons legislators felt this additional $2.5M in taxpayer dollars is unnecessary. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is still taking public comment on the draft environmental impact study on the facility that I reported on a couple weeks ago. USFWS has extended the comment deadline four days, from March 20 to March 24.
So more than likely, in a year or two, the peaceful grazing of Matt Kammerer’s critters will be disrupted by the gleeful free fire of gun nuts from all over, plus a lot more dusty traffic up and down Elk Vale Road. But at least we won’t have our tax dollars to blame… unless Senator Johnson tries sneaking something into the budget bill coming out today!

GameStop (NYSE:GME) stock is pulling back after its recent surge. But by-and-large, not much has changed for it. As with AMC Entertainment (NYSE:AMC), a core base of retail traders (“Apes,” as they sometimes call themselves) continue to hold onto their GME stock.
To keep these investors happy and to remain in the headlines, GameStop has a plan. Besides moving along with its digitalization efforts, the retailer is chasing opportunities in the fast-growing area of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) and other blockchain-related ventures.
However, don’t expect this move into to be something that, over the long-term, will help GameStop sustain its current market capitalization of $15.9 billion.
Instead, the shares are still likely to tumble in the future. At some point in time, the self-described “Apes” will take profits. That may happen when the stock market next undergoes a harsh correction. Or it could occur gradually, as more investors realize that the company will not grow into its presently inflated valuation for years, if it ever does.
In short, with no change to the story, investors should cash out of the shares before the retail traders finally do. If you don’t have a position in the name, avoid it.
Don’t Get Too Excited About GameStop’s Emerging NFT Catalyst
Late last month, buzz around the company’s move into NFTs and other Web 3.0 (blockchain) ventures began to build up. As more investors became aware of the company’s plans to build an NFT marketplace, investors bid up its shares for a couple of weeks.
More information is still coming out about the company’s NFT venture. For example, there are rumors that it will be powered by Loopring’s (CCC:LRC-USD) blockchain. New, confirmed developments may help spark a few more pops by the seemingly unsinkable meme stock.
But it may be a stretch to say that GameStop’s blockchain-related endeavors will prevent the stock from experiencing what I’ve called its “inevitable capitulation.”
There are two reasons for that. First, while overall NFT sales in the last fiscal quarter alone came in at a staggering $10.7 billion, only time will tell if its popularity will remain so elevated. While the skeptics have been proven wrong about cryptocurrencies, the jury is still out about whether NFTs are a fad or here to stay.
Second, assuming NFTs are not a fad, who’s to say that GameStop’s proposed marketplace will be one of the most popular offerings? Companies like Coinbase (NASDAQ:COIN) that are already providing crypto brokerage services seem most primed to take advantage of the NFT trend.
To top it all off, even if GameStop is successful in NFTs and in e-commerce, there’s still another factor that could sink it.
Even Redditors May Not Wait for GameStop to Grow Into Its Valuation
The largest risk facing GME stock right now is that the retail “Apes” still holding the stock will grow impatient and sell their shares. That would cause the name to tumble to a valuation that’s more in line with the company’s actual value.
But NFTs could keep becoming more popularity. And GameStop in theory may be able to parlay its name recognition, plus some of its $1.72 billion of cash, into building an NFT platform that generates a high level of transaction revenue for the company. But at best, these efforts, plus the retailer’s pivot to e-commerce, will enable it to “grow into its valuation.”
In other words, these initiatives, assuming they both pay off, won’t make the stock more valuable than it is today. With several years likely to pass before the company can catch up with its valuation, traders will grow tired of waiting for that to happen.
Once the meme crowd leaves the scene, only investors who care about companies’ fundamentals will be interested in buying the shares. As a result, the stock will trade more in-line with GameStop’s fundamentals.
That, in turn, could cause the shares to fall to the levels predicted by analysts. According to The Wall Street Journal, their average and median price targets on GME stock are $71 and $37, respectively.
The Shoe Is Still Set to Drop for GME Stock
The company’s latest efforts may end up being successful. In theory, that may help it sustain its current valuation.
Nevertheless, the shares aren’t a buy at this point. With the meme crowd likely to bail before the company’s ambitious efforts begin to pay off, avoiding GME stock is still your best move.

ANKARA, January 31. /TASS/. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan reiterated Friday Turkey’s readiness to prevent attacks in the Idlib de-escalation zone. The official Ankara claims that Syrian Army offense in Idlib province causes civilian casualties.
"If the situation in Idlib province does not normalize, we will take action. We sincerely seek stability in Syria. The political process must be swift and just. We won’t hesitate to do everything it takes, including use of military force," Erdogan said.
"Turkey cannot stay indifferent to the situation in Syria, including the Idlib province," Erdogan added.
Earlier, Reuters reported, citing the Turkish leader, that Turkey is ready for a new military operation in Syria over the Idlib escalation.
On January 30, the National Security Council of Turkey, following a four-and-half-hour meeting chaired by Erdogan, announced that Ankara intends to take additional measures to stop attacks on the civilians in the Idlib de-escalation zone. However, the Council did not clarify what measures are on the table, exactly.
Situation in Idlib
On January 10, the Ministry of National Defense of Turkey announced that Ankara and Moscow agreed on a ceasefire in Idlib province in northern Syria, starting January 12. In the meantime, on January 9, the Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria chief Yury Borenkov announced a ceasefire starting 2 pm Moscow time that day.
Idlib is the only Syrian region that remains under militant control. In 2017, the northern de-escalation zone was created there, and militants from other Syrian regions who refused to surrender moved there. Twelve Turkish Army observation points operate in the province.

The last of my craft room makeover. I found these wonderful pen holders at the Reject Shop and thought they would be perfect for my Copic pen storage.
I glued holders altogether to form one big container. I have just enough room for a couple more pens. :-)
After I had decorated my ribbon storage with the Graphic 45 papers I thought I should use a bit more of it around the room to tie everything together. So the Copic pen holders was covered in some the offcuts.
I have had my envelopes sitting in the little boxes that they are bought in. Over time I had three boxes with different sized envelopes. I decided to glue these boxes together to create one container then covered with more of my Graphic 45 paper offcuts.
Showing all the the sides.
The coloured envelopes you see are ones I have made up from some scrap pages that I have had in my stash since forever. As I don't do scrapbooking and the patterns mustn't catch my eyes for cards I know they will look wonderful as envelopes and make a terrific finish to any of my cards.
Thanks for visiting.

Indian Societal Flaws: How Indians Behave in Other Countries, THE ABCDs
Just announcing that for a short time, I will be writing a temporary series addressing societal norms and flaws associated with this post. It's not meant to hate a society, but actually exploit what is necessary and true. Alors...
ABCD, it's a common term between all Desi people.
American Bannah Confused Desi.But what does it mean? Well, the confused Desi is turning into a spoiled American.
There is a tendency here in the U.S where Indian immigrants change themselves to become more "American." It's seriously the worst concept.
And if you are inspired by your own culture, and are born in America, ABCDs then denote you an ABCD. They are some of the most confused people until date.
So many ABCDs where I live think of themselves as the upper class. High society, half-British slang, you name it. They are the elite, whereas you're just a bundle of rotten garbage.
And despite the topic being brief, I don't understand the prejudice. ABCDs want to be in Victorian England, where the wealthy class looks down upon the lower classes. The shocking factor, is that they assume Americans do the same, and in the end get rejected.
It's all about upbringing my friends, if they teach their children to be just like how they are, it won't yield positive humans. Being American means having a unique personality to flourish, not a personality that's copied several times.

Skip to comments.Polls: Sarkozy Elected French President
Posted on 05/06/2007 11:18:57 AM PDT by Islander7
PARIS (AP) - French voters chose Nicolas Sarkozy as their new president on Sunday, giving the conservative a comfortable margin for victory and a mandate for change, result projections from four polling agencies showed. His Socialist opponent conceded minutes after polls closed.
The agencies said the conservative won 53 percent of the vote amid massive turnout, dashing Socialist Segolene Royal's hopes of being elected France's first woman president. The projections were based on vote counts from representative samples of hundreds of polling stations across the country.
Fox News reporting that Ms. Royal has waved the white surrender flag, which I gather she’s pretty good at.
French fries redux! Viva Le France!
She’s already conceded.
Waiting for Sarko’s victory speech in about 10 minutes.
Coverage on CSPAN 1 right now. What great news.
C’est magnifique! I’m cracking open a bottle of champagne in Sarkozy’s honor.
I wonder if Royals’ riots have started yet. /sarc
Royal warned of violence if she didn’t win (where do we keep hearing that from?)
Seems the Socialist parties, as they did in Mexico, always see violence unless they win. The new campaign slogan of the ‘tolerant’ Socialists? Elect me or else!
Forgive me for asking (and not paying attention to the news), but what is so special about Sarkozy’s victory? Is he going to bring the out-of-control Muzzie piopulation under control?
It is a great day! The turnout was also amazing.
That’s one of the themes that he campaigned on.
We’ll see if he can succeed. At least he’ll try.
“A pro-US French politician...”
‘Together, everything is possible’.
Nice to hear, for a change.
You and me both - my FAV is Bordeaux, and I've wanted some soooooo badly, but wouldn't support French ANYthing. MAYBE it's time ;-)
SCORE ONE FOR THE GOOD GUYS, AND CELEBRATE!!!
Nice to hear the guy being conciliatory to the losers.
Sarkozy said, in July 2005 [during the riots], that the car torching muslims are vermin that must be wiped away!
Hillary take notice
I already know the theme of my next DUFU edition.
Well let’s get the looting started shall we.
Wow! Discusses the US publicly.
Controlled immigration policy.
France is with “women around the world who are beaten, who have to wear the burqa”! Big applause!
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic Ping List:
Please ping me to all note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
Sarkozy, a Catholic, has caused controversy because of his views on the relationship between religion and state. In 2004, he published a book called La République, les religions, l'espérance (The Republic, Religions, and Hope), in which he argued that the young should not be brought up solely on secular or republican values. He also advocated reducing the separation of church and state, including the government subsidy of mosques in order to encourage Islamic integration into French society. He flatly opposes financing of religious institutions with funds from outside France. There has also been controversy over his attitude to the Church of Scientology which has itself been the subject of significant controversy in France after meeting with Tom Cruise.
That’s exactly my thought today. And I can add French cheese to the Danish cheese I’m serving my guests at a dinner I’m hosting!
This is from “news” outlet called Reuters reacting (should I say mourning) to the French election results: “opinion polls regularly suggested voters preferred Royal”.
Hey guys at Reuters and “news” outlets elsewhere: faking polls is not always enough, you know...
Me too! I haven’t bought a French wine since the Iraq war started. Maybe I’ll head over to my favorite local wine store and buy a nice bordeaux to celebrate!!
Mon dieu! Aujourd’hui on boit le vin francais!! Vive la France! Vive Les Etats Unis! Vive le retour d’une vraie amitie entre les deux!
“French fries redux! Viva Le France!”
That’s just a pure lie. Royal NEVER lead in ANY poll between the first and second rounds.
The riots will start in the night. In July 2005, tens of thousands of cars were torched in a few weeks, but only during the nights.
Well, not much, but at least he beat the Hitlery clone.
(Loses sumptin' in the translation)
Hot Damn! No more cheese eating surrender monkeys?
Sarkozy sweeps to French presidential victory
Just what will result from this Victory
is still to be determined. On the surface,
it sounds good. OTOH, this could have an
Hmm, he’d have my vote if I was French.
Yes this is great. I’d vote for him too. I was on business in Canada last week and was dealing with a French firm. They said he was going to win going away.
It takes a Hungarian to lead the French.
Long past night time there now, so looks like she was just blowing smoke which is a good thing
“Vive le retour dune vraie amitie entre les deux!”
Oui,oui, C’est bon. Et avec champagne - A votre sante!

Serbia sends protest letters to European Parliament
Ivica Dacic has condemned in the harshest terms the opening of the exhibition and conference "Croatian Saint Cardinal Stepinac" in the European Parliament (EP).Source: B92, Tanjug
The Serbian first deputy prime minister and minister of foreign late on Wednesday "underlined that this act does not contribute to reconciliation, but is an attempt at rehabilitating the Ustasha movement," the government said on its website.
The Ustasha were in power in the Nazi-allied Independent State of Croatia (NDH) from 1941 to 1945 and operated death camps for Serbs, Jews, and Roma. The EP-hosted exhibition dedicated to the Croatian Catholic cleric was previously condemned by Serbia's labor minister, and the head of the Democratic Party (DS).
According to the government, Dacic stated that it was "incomprehensible that an exhibition is opened in the center of the European Union for someone who participated in the pogrom of thousands of Serbs, Jews and other non-Croat population and who was sentenced in his country to 16 years in prison and deprivation of all civil rights for a period of three years."
The First Deputy Prime Minister stressed that this exhibition is an attempt at removing responsibility from Stepinac and rehabilitation of the Ustasha movement and is not a step towards reconciliation nor to the truth, but on the contrary, it only deepens the division.
"We are witnesses that the world is now faced with an attempt to revise and make relativization of victories and defeats, of crime and punishment, " he said and added that Serbia, as a victim of such efforts at the international level, has an obligation to fight against it.
Dacic said that Head of the Mission of the Republic of Serbia to the EU Ambassador Dusko Lopandic was instructed to send a harsh protest.
Lopandic sent the Letters of Protest to President of the European Parliament Martin Schulz, to Chairperson of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the European Parliament Elmar Brok, President of the Group of the European People's Party (EPP) Manfred Weber, and he will also inform about the above-mentioned Rapporteur for Serbia David McAllister, the shadow rapporteurs and other EU members, he said.
In these letters, the Serbian Ministry of Foreign Affairs points out that it is unacceptable to organize an exhibition to glorify the figure and work of Stepinac, who is presented there as a “true gem of the Catholic Church and the Croatian people”.
In 1946, the Supreme Court of Croatia - then a republic of Yugoslavia - sentenced Stepinac in Zagreb to 16 years in prison and loss of civil and political rights for a period of three years for his actions, abetting crimes, treason and collaboration with the Ustasha regime and for mass conversions of tens of thousands of Orthodox Serbs, the statement notes.
The statement adds that, after meetings with Serbian state and church officials, Pope Francis has suspended the process of canonising Stepinac and that the Vatican and the Serbian Orthodox Church have set up a joint commission to investigate the case.
The Serbian people and the Serbian Orthodox Church consider Stepinac responsible for mass crimes against the Serbian and other non-Croat population during the Second World War in the territory of the so-called Independent State of Croatia (NDH), Dacic stated.
The events in Brussels were organized by the Croatian Peasant Party MEP Marijana Petir in collaboration with the Catholic University of Croatia, the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Zagreb and the EPP Working Group on Intercultural Dialogue and Religious Affairs.

“Is Russia Winning the War?”. Under this title, about 15 days ago, the South East European Energy Institute published a weekly report on energy developments in the region and beyond. Important points are made in the extremely interesting text of the institute, and I thought it would be worthwhile to inform you about their content, “- writes Andreas Andrianopoulos, editor of the economic publication OT.
That is why I quote it in translation almost in its entirety:Once we agree, the report says, what kind of war we are talking about, we must ask questions. Because it seems that now Europe and Russia are involved in two parallel wars. The first is dedicated to Ukraine after the military invasion of Russia. There are fierce battles every day… The situation on the military front is not clear, and there are no prospects for a peace agreement yet…
The second war that Russia is waging against the West and Europe in particular is much wider geographically and is aimed at political and economic destabilization. In this largely invisible war, Moscow has used energy in all its forms to exert maximum pressure on markets and push European gas, coal and electricity prices to unprecedented heights.
The European leadership, under suffocating pressure and deliberately false assurances from the American government to supply enough liquefied natural gas (LNG), completely missed the mark when they decided to impose a series of ineffective sanctions against Russia, while ignoring the possible harsh reaction from Russia.
Combined with gas shortages in Germany and elsewhere, this event forced EU introduce emergency measures that are likely to tighten as winter approaches. In the current situation, Europe is facing a worse energy crisis than the one it experienced in 1973.
The EU leadership also miscalculated Russia’s resistance to sanctions and the preservation of its economy. Contrary to all Western expectations, the ruble has appreciated today in a way that even the most credible economists did not predict in the future, and Russia has earned more dollars and euros from oil and gas sales than last year!
Now the die has been cast in this trench warfare, and Moscow appears to have more cards up its sleeve than anyone could have imagined. Europe’s gas and electricity markets are bound to worsen as prices rise further, while oil prices also rise significantly as production cuts begin to be felt after a decade of underinvestment (mainly due to climate action).
“Western democracies need to understand that the economic field in which they have chosen to confront Russia is wrong.” Andreas Andrianopoulos
Since Russia is the source of more than a quarter of the world’s energy production, it clearly looks like the winner, at least in this part of the game. The results of the economic war could be especially critical for the domestic political development of many Western democracies. We are already seeing some relatively negative results.
Western democracies need to understand that the economic field in which they have chosen to confront Russia is wrong. And completely unprepared. And it can be costly, and not just financially. It would be better to limit ourselves to diplomatic and military support for Ukraine”.


Chrome OS is subject to consistent updates, and this frequency is measuring up to be game-changing presently. In recent times, it was revealed that the fluid operating system is set to receive a native screen-recording feature, and somewhere along those lines, news of Chrome 89’s availability has broken out, something that always gives more goodies to Chromebooks.
Thanks to Chrome Enterprise release notes, users can see what type of updates Chrome OS will get soon. As of now, this article will discuss salient additions to Chrome 89 and what this latest update has to offer to Chromebook owners. Let’s dive straight in.
What to Expect From Chrome 89
The following is a brief overview of some of the best new features introduced in Chrome 89.
Brand-New Phone Hub
To integrate Chrome OS with your handheld smartphones on a much better level, Chrome 89 will incorporate a distinct “Phone hub.” This will make your Chromebook allow you certain controls over your phone, such as enabling its hotspot, switching it to silent mode, and will even help you find it through a feature called “Locate phone.”
That’s not all, though. This hub will also perform several other functions. Using it, you will view Chrome tabs on your Chromebook that are opened on your phone. Users will also get notifications on their Chromebook right from their phones. This is how it looks like.
You can enable this feature by going to this link and then select the “Enable” option. Chrome will prompt you to restart your Chromebook, following which you should be able to see the Phone hub icon on the status bar.
Note: This may not be available for everyone at this time. If that’s the case with you, check back after a couple of weeks.
Reinvigorated Sharing Option
Chrome 89 will make it easier for us Chromebook users to share the stuff we find online. Like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and other social media plug-ins have their distinct icons shown on websites for effective sharing. A certain share button will be implemented by Chrome 89, which, upon clicking, will reveal a native sharing menu. This will make your ordeal much less complicated.
New WebHID API
Near-Field Communication (NFC) tags will be readable and writable by websites following Chrome 89. Apparently, “Web NFC” will come as a default standard and will allow websites to access NFC tags in the hope of uncovering information and data.
Google released a video for the major updates coming to DevTools in Chrome 89. Please take a look at it below.
For Trusted Type Violations, debugging will be allowed for developers to set breakpoints and make progress. That was just one of the several new additions to DevTools in Chrome 89.

It has been a lot since my last log-on in the portal, the weird thing is that I forgot to use my NG account, this is why. I kept watching some flashes and playing some games anyway. Now I'm back again as user.
About the 8-bit remixes, I replaced my old computer with a laptop. All the remixes and the .midi files remained in the memory of the old one, so I have to start over downloading material and program.
Thanks for watching (to whoever sees it).

German Pointer (long-haired)
Good with Kids:
This German Pointer is an ideal hunterâs companion. They also make excellent family pet as long as they get enough exercises. They are highly regarded by field sports people who will find it very reliable as a working dog. They are affectionate and loyal to their family
Country of origin:
Large dog breeds
Sporting dog breeds (AKC)
Gun dogs (UKC)
This is an affectionate, active, and intelligent dog which is loyal to its own family, and is eager to learn, equable, vigilant, has a good nose, and can be dominant.
The shoulder-height is 63 â 66cm (24 Â½ - 26 in) for dogs and 60 â 63cm (23 Â½ -24 Â½ 2in) for bitches.
This breed usually gets along well with other dogs and household animals. They are normally patient with children. They are friendly with those they know but can be vigilant if necessary. They are gentle-natured and equable, intelligent and eager to learn and have a good scenting nose.
The long-haired coat is close and dense, with a dense undercoat. The colour are brown roan, brown with or without white, and white with a brown head and brown markings. A black roan is also permissible.
The hair of the coat should be as possible but must not look untidy. The hairs need to be hand-plucked occasionally â how often depends on the coat. Between such plucking sessions, brush thoroughly about once per week. This is a good chance to check the ear passages to ensure they clean.
These dogs can learn and want to, making their training much easier. They make an ideal choice for those without much experience.

Bored with marmalade, fed-up with chocolate spread?
Then have a big breakfast all in one go by spreading your morning toast with bacon jam.
The new barbecue-type preserve is made with smoked bacon, red onion, coffee, balsamic vinegar, garlic, spice – and whisky.
The first batch of more than 200 jars - costing £3.75 for 200g - sold out quickly at the grocery in Walthamstow, East London, where it was launched. Store co-owner Chris O’Connor, who developed the jam, said: “We’ve always sold homemade jam and crispy bacon so we thought we’d put the two together.”
His business partner James Brundle said: “It’s great on toast, with cheese, as a sauce, dip or cooking ingredient. We really think it will take off... it’s just getting people to try it.”
The jam will go on sale across London next month and, if it’s a hit, will be launched UK-wide.

On the other hand, rumours of Priyanka's impending wedding with Nick Jonas are rife on social media.

Their wedding will reportedly be followed by a grand bridal shower in New York.

I have been making this dessert for years and my family loves it! The absolute easiest way to turn the condensed milk into caramel is to submerse the unopened cans completely in water in the crock pot overnight on low with the lid of the crock pot on. You never have to worry about making sure that the can is always covered. I make an oreo cookie crust, put my bananas between the caramel and whipped cream and whip up some whipping cream instead of the frozen whipped topping. As long as the bananas are completely covered with the whipped cream, you can make this ahead of time. I often double the recipe and make it in a 9x13 dish. My children request this for their birthdays instead of cake!

Laurey was okay.
During the flight to plenty, Laurey was not exactly chipper, but more… pleasant? Colder? Less offensive.
The space battle had not shaken her resolve; it had strengthened it. She knew she wanted to serve the rebellion, that was a desire that burnt away all doubt. But the experience had birthed new iron truths that she held within herself. Namely this: the crew was insane. Not every individual, perhaps, but through mutualism they were a toxic whole. That had to be the truth. It was whilst she had been vomiting that Laurey had found this truth, staring her in the face. This ship was full of damaged goods led by a damaged captain.
So Laurey’s only hope of surviving was to do her best to avoid angering the bloodthirsty hormone-bombs.
As such, she spent most of her time in her room or workshop. When she met another she interacted with all the flavour of water. She even stopped having so many headaches in public
She had these in her room instead
And didn’t visit the doctor anymore
The silicon and gold were agony inside her
And even her mind was calm through careful self-medication of Bliss
But beneath the surface it was roiling agony. Computations eroded her day upon day and the world seemed a little duller and the people around her further and further from reach. And it hurt and it hurt and it hurt and it hurt
For the journey she was a pallid, sweaty ghost.
She made a drone. Modified one of the roombas, already equipped with weapons from its previous modifications, to respond to instructions through her omnitool, and therefore her mind. Simples things; there was only time for basic fuzzy logic. And it was still earthbound, but it would fly someday.
And it hurt and it hurt and it hurt
So busy she was that she didn’t notice what a watershed moment that battle had been. She did not notice the new division that rent the heart of the group. There were those who had fought, and there were those who had not. She did not notice Amy’s conspicuous absence. She did not notice the satisfied languor with which the killers stalked, lions full after a hunt. She did not notice Navi. The catalyst. Stupid Navi who deserved every ounce of loathing Laurey harboured against her. Sometimes even that grew cold. The tear in the group, it could grow, the slow death before total oblivion. But Laurey did not notice. That had to be the truth.
Laurey would not see it. One more mission and then she was leaving. The AI was the only thing stopping her asking to be transferred now. There was a proverb floating around the web about the five things a wise man feared. One was an unfettered AI. When strong AI was created, it was an act in defiance of any god. What pride it had inflated. What terrible cost it had wrought. A mind born of numbers, shorn of all psychology, infinitely contemplative and incidentally cruel.
It represented an intellectual diamond, and secretly Laurey hoped that it had been damaged, that she could salvage some esoteric knowledge or arcane programme something that would
Nothing will help you, hoping for a miracle is childish
Really take her drones to the next level.
Her part in the plan was therefore a godsend, and whilst there existed the formal possibility of violence, Laurey doubted the survival of any organic lifeform inside the ship.
She had the perfect skeleton in the closet for the role. From her footlocker she produced it, all crisp lines, immaculate. The skin of another life, one that would fade into the past and soon be someone else’s. She ran a finger along the fabric, and started to wonder at how different things could have been, but that way pain lay.
She arrived back at the pre-mission muster in her Ascendancy uniform, her hair tied and stuffed under a cap that was pulled low to hide most of her affronts to god. She nodded to Millard and did not taste blood. Laurey was okay. That had to be the truth.

New Trier unveiled a new star Saturday night, a 6-foot-4-inch, 205-pound sophomore who pitched the No. 2 Trevians to the title in the Schaumburg Flyers Classic tournament.
Miles Clauss, making his first high school start, hurled a four-hit, 11-strikeout, 4-0 victory over No. 8 Mundelein.
Clauss was named the outstanding player in the three-day, eight-team tournament.
"I thought I did pretty well," Clauss said. "I hit my spots and got ahead in the count."
Clauss struck out 10 in the first five innings and had a no-hitter through four innings.
"My fastball was my best pitch," Clauss said. "It moved a lot. My defense was tremendous. They made big plays behind me."
New Trier (6-1) played errorless ball, and right fielder Austin Turban saved the shutout when he threw out a runner at home to end the fifth inning.
Center fielder Gavin Sharp led New Trier's 11-hit attack with three singles, driving home two runs.
While Clauss was blanking the Mustangs without a hit and striking out seven in the first three innings, New Trier scored single runs in the first and third.
Mark Mazzone reached second on Clay Kovac's throwing error to lead off the Trevians' first. Mazzone took third as Sharp beat out a bunt and scored on Brett Sortal's sacrifice fly.
Sharp singled home John Profita, who had doubled, in the third. New Trier had runners on second and third with only one out, but Nick Yoder retired the next two batters.
New Trier raised its lead to 3-0 in the fourth when Mazzone's two-out bloop single to center scored Zach Martin, who led off the inning with a double. Kovac's diving catch of Sharp's liner prevented further scoring.
Jack Healy and Ryan Raymundo singled for Mundelein's first two hits in the fifth, and another Mustang walked, but Mundelein still didn't score. Turban threw out Healy at the plate to end the inning.
Sharp earned his second RBI when New Trier added an insurance run in the sixth.
Mundelein (8-1) advanced to the championship game by edging Brother Rice 3-2 in one of Saturday's semifinals. New Trier beat St. Charles North 11-3 in the other semifinal. Brother Rice won the third-place game 17-13 over St. Charles North.


Model number: HL-96
Code name: Tyrant 2000
Unit type: construction labor
Manufacturer: Hishii Heavy Industries
Rollout: December 1995 AD
Accommodation: pilot only, in standard cockpit in torso
Dimensions: overall height 8.02 meters; overall width 4.72 meters
Weight: standard 12.03 metric tons; full 12.65 metric tons
Armor materials: fiber reinforced material (aluminum/steel)
Maximum weight lifting capacity: 3.7 metric tons
Minimum revolving radius: 7.0 meters
Equipment and design features: sensors, range unknown; HOS (hyper operating system)
Fixed armaments: none
Optional hand armaments: none
The HL-96 Tyrant 2000 was a heavy duty construction labor produced by Hishii Heavy Industries. The Tyrant’s powerful body made it well-suited to construction, and it could match the power of the AV-98 Ingram. Because the Tyrant was so widely used across Tokyo, it was often stolen and used in labor crime. In 1999, a Tyrant working in an urban area went berserk and ignored its pilot’s instructions. Collateral damage was multiplied when gun maniac Ingram pilot Isao Ota of the Tokyo police’s SV2 engaged the rogue labor. Although unknown at the time, the Tyrant incident was an early example of a hidden program in Shinohara Heavy Industries’ new hyper operating system that caused labors to go berserk under certain situations.

Co-founders Andy Ridgeway and Rae Felte were interviewed by Patricia Bowen, Managing Editor for the Arbiter. Below are some key quotes from the interview.
The Ethos Project is currently comprised of a panel of Ridgeway, Felte, Myers and five other students interning for the organization. According to Ridgeway, the Ethos Symposium will “allow students to get their foot in the door when it comes to certain conversations on campus.
We’re all about giving students a larger voice and a larger platform, and I think ‘ethos’ is all about character and credentials and sharing your thoughts,” Felte said. “We want to help students create their own ethos, their own voice in a powerful way.
There are a lot of people working on really cool things within their departments, but they don’t necessarily have a platform to share that with the rest of campus community,” Ridgeway said. “I think the Ethos Symposium can be that platform.
You can find the full transcript HERE.
The University Innovation Fellows program empowers students to become agents of change at their schools. Rebecka Seward, a 2016 Ethos Speaker, has been selected as one of the three fellows of the program. With her colleagues Ann Delaney and Kelly Schut, Rebecka has completed a six week long training course and will represent Boise State at the University Innovation Fellows annual meet-up in March in California’s Silicon Valley.
Boise State University joins 47 other higher education institutions with 155 students as University Innovation Fellows. These fellows aim to create “lasting institutional change and create opportunities for students to engage with innovation, entrepreneurship, design thinking and creativity at their schools.” You can find out more about innovation fellows here.
“Since innovation in higher education stems from any and all stakeholders, I’m excited at the prospect of our students contributing to the innovations occurring within the College of Innovation and Design, for the benefit of Boise State University,” said Gordon Jones, dean of the college.
Congratulations, Rebecka! The Ethos Project can not wait to see what kind of change you bring about campus!
Monday, March 14th was a night filled with passion, excitement and energy. The Ethos Project, a student run organization created by two English majors, Rae Felte and Andy Ridgeway, held its first annual symposium.
For our first-ever event, The Ethos Project organization is in awe of what was accomplished. Our target audience of 150–which we were nervous we couldn’t make–was blown out of the water! There were over 200 people in the Jordan Ballroom that night. The overflow of positive response from the audience was moving. The speakers feel empowered and supported, the board members are full of excitement for the future, and the passion around The Ethos Project is greater than ever.
The symposium showcased seven undergraduate students from all different disciplines and walks of life. Drawing from their personal expertise, these students crafted ten minute presentations utilizing personalized delivery styles and presented them to an audience of over 200.
The topics ranged from Rebecka Seward presenting her service dog vest prototype that aims to decrease heat stress, to Desirée Midby emphasizing the importance of diversity and celebrating it on campus by creating a student diversity council, to Alex Barrows aiming to rally the audience around the Peruvian sheepherders in our own backyard.
And the styles of presentations ranged from Zach Harbauer bringing to life the horrendous, helpless feelings that come with mental illness through a powerful slam poem, to Emilee Ayers and Scott Conover bringing to life before the audience their process of blending together photography and botany, to Trevor Hill using personal narrative to bring the audience to feel his “zero hour.”
The Ethos Project Symposium offered just a glimpse into what the club wishes to do in the future. We want students to continue to see themselves as innovators, creators, and visionaries. CLICK TO TWEETIn addition to future symposium events, The Ethos Project plans to help students build their ethos by offering workshops on activism, public speaking, and finding or following their passion.

A foremost magazine, TELL, has announced Governor Kashim Shettima of Borno State as its 2016 Governor of the Year.
Â The governor is expected to be honoured at the first edition of â€˜TELL Awards for Excellenceâ€™ taking place on June 17 in Lagos.
The President of TELL Communications, Mr. Nosa Igiebor, announced the award when he led a three-man delegation to present a notification to Shettima in Maiduguri.
Â Igiebor said: â€œShettima was chosen for his rare courage and demonstrable leadership skills in managing the Boko Haram insurgency, and his remarkable achievements in supporting security, management of camps for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), infrastructural reconstruction and rehabilitation, development and provision of Housing as well as concerted efforts to revamp the moribund educational system amid paucity of funds and other daunting challenges. From ashes of destruction inflicted by the Boko Haram insurgents, Shettima is gradually restoring Borno State to socio-economic normalcy; the governor has demonstrated that with the right people in the position of leadership, Nigeria can indeed be great again.â€
Â The TELLpresident explained that despite its existence for decades, the magazine has never given out awards, but as part of recent innovations, it decided in 2017 to begin celebration of exceptional persons as a patriotic way of promoting excellence in Nigeria.
He noted that a selection team set up by the magazine deployed â€˜very thorough processâ€™ in order to select the most worthy winners of its very first awards despite the magazine being in existence for decades.
Â â€œThe emergence of Shettima as the Governor of the Year (2016), was the outcome of an intensive and transparent voting exercise conducted by the Tell Awards Committee between March 20 and April 9, 2017. The selection and voting processes were thrown open to the public in order to ensure transparency, credibility, and fairness in the entire exercise and to effectively distinguish the annual TELL awards, from other awards known to Nigerians. â€œThe executive directorate of TELL is pleased to announce the decision of our board to bestow on Shettima the award of the TELL Governor of the Year (2016) during the forthcoming maiden edition of the annual TELL Awards for Excellence,â€ Igiebor added.
Â He announced that the TELL Awards feature other winners in about 10 categories in which persons and institutions thoroughly deserving of such honours will be celebrated.

Why is it that the religious right of America is so opposed to Islamic fundamentalism? They are almost exactly the same thing, only different religions. Christian fundamentalists hate the Islamic fundamentalists because they "hate freedom". But what is the difference between hating Americans and hating homosexuals, "commies", etc? Both groups are responsible for countless deaths across the world. In my opinion, they are as bad as the terrorists that they are trying to eliminate. Can somebody please explain this to me? (without saying that Americans are acting in favour of the Lord and Islamics aren't)
Do you think that a developed country in the western world would be able to support itself and remain stable if it operated in an anarcho-communist style of government? Anarcho-communism is the theory that a country would have only the bare-essential laws (no ,urder, no rape, etc) but things like taxes and unessential laws would be abolished. Goods would be distributed by need.
Has America become the fascist state portrayed in the political dystopian novels of the mid-twentieth century (Nineteen Eighty-Four, Brave New World, Fahrenheit 451)? What are your thoughts on the censorship, propaganda, and oppressive force used by the American government?

The Power of Music: How Listening to Music Affects Our Minds and Bodies
Music has always been a vital part of human culture, dating back thousands of years ago to the first drumbeat or sung melody. Today, it is an industry worth billions of dollars, with millions of songs and artists available at our fingertips through streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music. Whether we’re listening to classical, rock, pop, or any other genre, music has the power to influence our emotions and behaviors in profound ways. In this article, we explore the ways in which music affects our minds and bodies and why it has such a powerful impact on our lives.
Musical Rhythms and Brain Waves
Studies have shown that music can affect our brain waves, which are the electrical patterns generated by neurons in our brains. Different brain wave patterns are associated with different levels of consciousness and various mental states, such as relaxation and focus. Researchers have found that when people listen to music, their brain waves synchronize with the beat, creating a state of calm and relaxation that can be beneficial for stress reduction and anxiety relief.
On the other hand, music with a faster beat can increase our heart rate and stimulate the release of adrenaline and dopamine, leading to feelings of excitement and pleasure. This is why up-tempo music is often used in sports events, exercise classes, and other activities that require energy and motivation.
The Emotional Power of Music
Music has the unique ability to evoke a wide range of emotions, from happiness and elation to sadness and grief. This is because our brains process music differently from other types of sensory information, like sight or touch. When we hear a familiar melody or song, it triggers memories and associations that are linked to that particular piece of music, which can make us feel nostalgic, emotional, or uplifted.
Moreover, music can also influence our mood by altering the levels of neurotransmitters in our brains, such as oxytocin and serotonin, which are known to regulate emotions and social bonding. For instance, listening to soothing music can increase our levels of oxytocin, which is often referred to as the “love hormone” because of its role in social bonding and trust.
The Healing Power of Music
Music therapy is a growing field that uses music to promote health and wellbeing in a variety of settings, from hospitals and nursing homes to schools and community centers. Studies have shown that music can have a number of therapeutic benefits, such as reducing pain and anxiety, improving mood and self-esteem, and enhancing social communication and interpersonal skills.
One of the reasons why music therapy is effective is that it can activate multiple areas of the brain, including the emotional, motor, and language centers, which can improve cognitive functioning and enhance brain connectivity. Moreover, music can also stimulate the production of endorphins, which are natural painkillers that can reduce discomfort and improve mood.
The Social Power of Music
Music is often considered a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic differences, bringing people together in shared experiences and expressions of creativity. This is why music plays an important role in social and cultural events, such as weddings, festivals, and religious ceremonies.
Moreover, music can also promote social bonding and cooperation by synchronizing our movements and emotions with others. This is why dancing and singing in groups can create a sense of community and connection that can be beneficial for our mental health and wellbeing.
The Diverse Influences of Music
Music is a diverse and constantly evolving art form that reflects the cultural, historical, and social contexts in which it is created and consumed. Different genres of music have distinct musical and lyrical features that reflect the attitudes and values of different groups and subcultures.
For example, hip-hop music emerged as a cultural expression of urban youth in the Bronx in the 1970s and has since become a global phenomenon that has transformed popular music and fashion. Similarly, classical music has a rich history and tradition that spans centuries and cultures, and continues to inspire new generations of composers and musicians.
The Future of Music
In today’s digital age, music is more accessible and diverse than ever before. With the rise of streaming services, social media, and virtual reality, music is becoming increasingly interactive and immersive, allowing us to experience it in new ways and interact with artists and fans from around the world.
Moreover, music is also being used as a tool for social activism and change, as musicians and artists use their platforms to raise awareness about issues like inequality, environmentalism, and human rights.
Ultimately, music is a powerful force that has the ability to transform our minds and bodies, and connect us in ways that transcend cultural, linguistic, and geographical barriers. Whether we’re listening to Mozart or Metallica, folk music or hip-hop, music has the power to inspire, heal, and enrich our lives in countless ways.

Congenital Short QT Syndrome (SQTS) is a rare but dangerous condition involving abbreviated ventricular repolarization and an increased risk of atrial and ventricular arrhythmias. Taking the example of the first identified SQTS mutation, N588K-hERG, we consider briefly the basic science approaches used to obtain an understanding of the mechanism(s) of arrhythmogenesis in this form of the syndrome. A combination of recombinant channel electrophysiology and in silico simulations has provided insights into causality between the identified mutation, accelerated repolarization and increased susceptibility to re-entry in N588K-hERG-linked SQTS. Subsequent studies employing a transgenic rabbit model or human induced pluripotent stem cell derived cardiomyocytes (hiPSC-CMs) have further demonstrated mechanisms predisposing to re-entry, spiral wave activity and arrhythmia in intact tissue. The complementarity between the findings made using these different approaches gives confidence that, collectively, they have identified major arrhythmia mechanisms and their potential mitigation by Class I antiarrhythmic drugs in this form of SQTS.

My husband Christian emigrated from France 40+ years ago, and I from Saskatchewan(LOL). We love food and wine. He is an avid cyclist; I am a recreational one. We took our first separate vacation(s) in 2013; I took our daughters then aged 16 and 19 to NYC staying in our first airbnb in the Lower East Side. He went on a cycling vacation with friends to Tucson, Arizona. For 18 years we spent two weeks in the summer cycling as a family in Whistler, renting the same cabin (pre-airbnb)and for the past 14 years Christian and I have made an annual pilgrimage in June to Yellow Point Lodge on Vancouver Island, which is a summer camp for adults (no children or pets allowed, and NO internet reception!) At YPL we practise the triathlon of eat/read/sleep/repeat interspersed with cycling the country roads, kayaking, using the tree shower on warm days, and exploring the forest.
Our most recent airbnb stays were in 2014 in Marseille, the Dordogne, and Brittany. Local bread, cheese, wine, foie gras, oysters and other shellfish = epicureal bliss.
My dream is to run a B&B in France (or the Okanagan), where Christian could organize cycling tours for people who love food and drink as much as we do.
The novel I most enjoyed recently was All the Light We Cannot See. I love NYC for the Brooklyn Bridge, the Staten Island ferry, TKTS, the museums, LES,the Tenement Museum,Magnolia Bakery. I love Portland for its food, craft beer, bike routes, parks, and Powell's Books. I love Seattle for its Zoo, Science Centre, SAM, Dale Chiuly (OK, Tacoma) great restaurants and great selection of wine and beer - my favourite weekend getaway, except for the exorbitant cost of parking downtown. I love my neighbourhood of Riley Park, just off Main St. I am hooked on Netflix.
Because we prefer to stay in a pied-a-terre(airbnb or VRBO) instead of a hotel while travelling for more than a weekend, and because we loved hosting homestay students for 10 years, we have decided to take the plunge and become airbnb hosts ourselves, now that our daughters have left home and we are empty nesters.


I was working as usual last week, and all of a sudden, after turning on the laptop, my wireless drivers had dissapeared. After trying to manually update them, using the Recovery program to re install the drivers as they came originally, I ended up resetting the whole thing (thinking it might be a virus), and it worked.
But 2 days later again
And today again.
The only particular thing that comes to mind is that after the windows updates, it happens again.
Can anyone think of anything???
I am using a Compaq Presario V3000 with Vista Home Basic.
Thanks as usual!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In other words, the change in numbers of atoms follows a geometric scale as illustrated by the graph below.other carbon isotopes in the same ratio as exists in the atmosphere.Following death, however, no new carbon is consumed.
This will always be true due to the finite limits of measuring equipment.
This does not mean that radiometric dates or any other scientific measurements are unreliable.billion years, the chronometric age of a sample can be calculated.
One half-life is the amount of time required for of the original atoms in a sample to decay.
Over the second half-life, of the atoms remaining decay, which leaves of the original quantity, and so on.
For instance, a date of 100,000 5,000 years ago means that there is a high probability the date is in the range of 95,000 and 105,000 years ago and most likely is around 100,000.
Radiometric dates, like all measurements in science, are close statistical approximations rather than absolutes.
Progressively through time, the carbon-14 atoms decay and once again become nitrogen-14.
As a result, there is a changing ratio of carbon-14 to the more atomically stable carbon-12 involves actually counting individual carbon-14 atoms.
The results demonstrate that the technique is capable of achieving KAr dates as young as 2000 a with a few centuries accuracy.


On Saturday, September 17, the campaign Vereadores Que Queremos, or City Council Members We Want, hosted an evening of interviews, debate, and roundtable discussion with 18 candidates running for City Council in the Rio de Janeiro municipal elections on October 2. The gathering took place at Casa Coletiva, a networking center for cultural movements, alternative media production, and social activism in Santa Teresa in central Rio.
With the elections fast approaching, the non-profit organization Rede Livre (Free Network) recently launched the Vereadores Que Queremos campaign (#VereadoresQueQueremos) to provide visibility and media resources on select candidates running for city council in various municipalities throughout Brazil. The platform collaborates with candidates from various political parties who are committed to collective, democratic and grassroots processes. The hope is to encourage active citizenship and achieve an honest, socially and ethically committed assembly of council members that reflects the cultural diversity and plurality of Brazilian society. The central question of the debate at Saturday’s event was, “how can we make our city more democratic?”
The 18 candidates who participated in Saturday’s event came from all walks of life, discussing urgent issues such as labor rights, violence against women, homophobia and transphobia, educational stipends and affirmative action, religious freedom, police brutality, freedom of the press, and the lack of racial diversity in public office, among other issues.
Various other organizations have been involved in the campaign and joined forces on Saturday to make the event possible. Casa Coletiva provided the venue, and united the efforts of Rede Fora do Eixo, Mídia Ninja and Pós TV. These groups worked collectively to broadcast the event live on Facebook. Viewers who were unable to attend the event in person submitted questions to candidates via the Facebook page in real time.
Ana Pessoa, from Mídia Ninja and resident of the Casa Coletiva, describes the emergence of the Vereadores Que Queremos campaign: “[The project] was born of a laboratory that we did back in 2012 in São Paulo called The City We Want. This was a series of debates with candidates live streamed by Pós TV around the clock… The more you occupy politics, the more you are able to hack and dispute the system from within.”
Representing an important shift given their historically low levels of representation, several favela-based candidates participated in Saturday’s event. As a child living in Rio de Janeiro, Claudete da Costa experienced homelessness until her family finally settled in City of God when she was 16 years of age. Claudete works for the National Movement for Collectors of Recyclable Materials. For the upcoming elections in October she is running with the party REDE Sustentabilidade (Sustainability Network), and is determined to strengthen voices of waste pickers, Rio’s primary collectors of recyclable materials, known as catadores, in local government. Her platform is to ensure that existing public policy and laws safeguarding the rights of catadores are put in practice. On Saturday, Claudete affirmed: “One of my motivations for being involved in politics is the question of the black community–we need to have a space of empowerment! I want to be part of a legacy of safeguarding human rights, which requires the involvement of black people in politics!”
Allan Jorge was born and raised in Rocinha and continues to live and work there today. He is one of the founders of the first newspaper in Rocinha, and also co-founded Rádio Rocinha. Currently, he works as a radio host for the Rocinha community station Rádio Brisa. He is representing PCdoB (Communist Party of Brazil) in his campaign for City Council: “We have more than 300,000 residents in Rocinha. We want a local government that addresses the needs of favelas.”
Marielle Franco is originally from Complexo do Maré. She is with the PSOL (Socalism and Freedom Party) and her campaign focuses on the rights of favela residents and gender equality for black women. She studied sociology at the Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro (PUC), and obtained her Masters in Public Administration at the Fluminense Federal University (UFF), for which she wrote her dissertation entitled “UPP: The Reduction of Favelas in Three Letters.” She has worked for various civil society organizations, including the Brazil Foundation and CEASM (Maré Center for Solidarity Studies and Action). Currently, she is the coordinator of the Commission for the Defense of Human Rights and Citizenship in the Rio de Janeiro State Legislative Assembly (Alerj).
In 2002, Célio Garis began working for Comlurb (Municipal Utility for Urban Cleaning), and helped organize a workers’ strike during carnival in 2014 and 2015, in support of the rights of garis or street-sweepers. Célio’s campaign calls for the active participation of workers in local government. On Saturday Célio explained “the gari is an agent of environmental health. We provide a healthy city. We want to be a part of the political process, to dispute institutions and address the crisis of representation.” He is running with the REDE Sustentabilidade party.
David Michael Miranda grew up in the Jacarezinho favela and today works as an international journalist. He has been involved in several social causes, including the campaign Rio Without Homophobia. With the Juntos! collective he helped launch the Casa da Juventude project dedicated to activism, free press and cultural production. Along with his partner Glenn Greenwald, David has been recognized worldwide for his activism in defense of Internet freedom: “I don’t want anyone to lose hope in the political process, especially in the current moment this country is facing. They sold the idea that politics is not to be discussed. Let’s change this view. We have to establish a progressive front in the city,” David concluded on Saturday. David will be running with the PSOL party.
The full streaming of debates and discussion can be viewed on the event’s Facebook page.

Apple could unveil a pair of new MacBook Pros that will have high-resolution screens and bring back one of the tech giant’s most beloved features, a magnetic charger.
The upcoming laptops, widely expected to be revealed later this year, will have resolutions of 3456 x 2234 and 3024 x 1964 for the 14-inch and 16-inch models, MacRumors reports, citing code from the latest macOS Monterey.
This would give both laptops approximately a 226 to 227 pixel per inch density. For comparison, the 13-inch MacBook Pro has a pixel density of 227, while the current 16-inch model has pixel density of 226.
It’s also possible that the new laptops sport the magnetic MagSafe chargers of years past, TF International Securities analyst Ming-chi Kuo said earlier this year.

The 14 and 16-inch laptops could also include a MagSafe magnetic charger
The MagSafe chargers allow the computer to charge and if someone accidentally trips on the cord, the charger pulls out of the laptop, leaving the computer as is.
The tech giant could release the new MacBook Pro laptops between October and November, after having unveiled its new iPhone, Apple Watch and an iPad mini earlier this month.
Bloomberg also reported in January that Apple would bring back magnetic charging to upgraded MacBook Pros.
Apple may also include SD card slots and HDMI outputs, along with new processors and new designs.
In July, it was reported that the new MacBook Pro screens would use 10,000 mini-LEDs to allow for higher brightness, deeper blacks and localized backlighting.

Apple is also reportedly working on a new MacBook Air, Mac Pro, iMac and updated Mac Mini.
Led by CEO Tim Cook, Apple has seen a resurgence in Mac sales during the past 12 months as many employees work from home during the pandemic, resulting in a new for new equipment.
In the company’s most recent quarter, Mac revenue came in at $8.2 billion, up 16.3 percent year-over-year.
That accounted for nearly 10 percent of Apple’s total quarterly revenue during the period.

After a long day of editing wedding photos and finishing up a 5th day of Sal Cincotta’s wedding photography business workshop on creative live, I was ready for some fun. I looked out the window and saw a bunch of cool clouds that were part of a passing storm. I knew this was going to be a good sunset, so I ran out the door with my camera and headed to the beach.
Btw, Sal’s workshop was amazing. I highly recommend it for wedding photographers, or anyone that wants their photography business to be more profitable.
