Design Interactions Research UMK was commissioned by the Design Museum in London. The project presents perspectives on a fictional future for the United Kingdom. It sees England devolved into four self-contained counties, each free to experiment with governance, economy and lifestyle. These 'live laboratories' interrogate the cultural and ethical impact of existing and new technologies and how they alter the way we live. Digitarians depend on digital technology and all its implicit totalitarianism: tagging, metrics, total surveillance, tracking, data logging and 100% transparency. Their society is organised entirely by market forces; citizen and consumer are the same.
Benjamin Bojko It’s been quite a while since my last webcam tracking post but some magic has happened behind the curtains and two projects emerged during the last weeks which I don’t want to leave unmentioned. The guys at Neue Digitale did a pretty sweet job with their Audi Quattro Urban Curving Online Special which offers a game that lets you steer your way down steep roads by tilting your head left and right with the help of my tracking code. Mariusz Kreft and Matthias Gomille from argonautenG2 used my code for an awesome banner prototype as an entry for the Young Lions Award in Cannes. Let’s hope they rock the contest. Here’s their Home Sweet Home Cinema website : I’ve got a small update for my tracking code in the pipe which both of these projects are using.

Slavery Footprint - Results Dear , As a supporter of your business, I wanted to let you know I've recently become aware of an issue that affects us both: modern-day slavery. There are over 27 million people enslaved today, many of whom make the things we use and buy. This issue is quickly becoming a priority for millions of consumers world wide. OPENCV \ library OpenCV is an open source computer vision library originally developed by Intel. It is free for commercial and research use under a BSD license. The library is cross-platform, and runs on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux. It focuses mainly towards real-time image processing, as such, if it finds Intel's Integrated Performance Primitives on the system, it will use these commercial optimized routines to accelerate itself. This implementation is not a complete port of OpenCV.
Concordia University Chicago - Art Lessons Welcome to Concordia University Chicago’s link to Artists and Their Art: Sharing Visual Stories, a tool to promote visual literacy through artwork. Recognizing visual cues in a work of art as well as being aware of the times and conditions in which an artist lived enables students to better interpret its imagery, draw conclusions about its effectiveness, and speak critically about the art. Art education research indicates students enjoy a richer art experience and improved visual comprehension when the following four disciplines are included in the art experience: Art History (the study of past artists), Art Aesthetics (response to art), Art Criticism (discussion of art using art vocabulary), and Art Production (hands-on making of art). Artists and Their Art: Sharing Visual Stories focuses mainly on art history by providing a biographical sketch of the artist, an image of one of the artist’s specific works and details about that work.
Exporting for iPhone using Air 2.7 and FlashDevelop - Part Two, Creating an iPhone Project Continuing on from Part One of the Exporting for iPhone using Air 2.7 and FlashDevelop Tutorial you should now have FlashDevelop primed with the Flex/Air 2.7 SDK and you’re now ready to start building your amazing iPhone App. In Part Two you will see how to set up an iPhone Air project which will allow you to export an swf ready to be packaged up into an ipa file (the file format for iPhone Apps). Developing for iPhone (and mobile in general) We’ll skip through actually coding your application as this is a topic in-and-of itself, but for the most part it’s no different to coding any other SWF, you just have a few more considerations to make, eg. the touch interface and importantly, memory management.
Making shooting function with RayCast iPhone I have a Player script that shoots a bullet (rigidBody) to kill an enemy, and the same for enemy, who shoots that same bullet to kill Player. Unfortunately enemy bullets mess with my camera ( it's a 3rd person camera) when they get between camera and Player, so the camera is jerking for like one frame.I took some examples from forum to replace bullets with raycast, but with no results. Is thers some simple way to replace my current functions of instantiating bulletPrefab with raycast? Here I have 4 scripts:

Hundreds of Vintage Posters Are Now Available to Download and Print 100% Free - Creators If the posters of today still had the look of those of yesteryear, would they still get tagged and trolled as often? Much work today, it seems, lacks the graphic audacity of yore, opting instead for forms and formats we've become accustomed to. That's why, when you find vintage posters in flea markets, you find prices that might suggest they were just printed. Many of these posters are available online, but it's often difficult to find high enough quality to print them beyond standard A4 printer paper sizing. Finally, our savior: FreeVintagePosters.Com.

Covid jabs are redirected to areas lagging behind in roll out to over-80s to defuse ‘postcode lottery’ row – as it emerges elderly Britons may be missing invites because GPs are having to TEXT them due to ‘short notice of supply’
- Matt Hancock said last night supplies were being redirected to lagging areas
- But a GP says some over-80s have been texted inviting them to appointments
- He warned this may have meant a number have been missed from the lists
- There will be an ‘overlap’ between jabs for over-70s and over-80s, a minister says
Coronavirus vaccines are being diverted to areas struggling to get enough jabs into the arms of the over-80s, the Health Secretary has said, as it emerges elderly Britons may be missing appointments because GPs are contacting them by text.
Matt Hancock vowed last night to send more doses to regions where the roll out was lagging, which are thought to include London and the East of England.
Both had vaccinated less than 30 per cent of their over-80s by January 10, the latest data available, while in the North East almost 50 per cent had got their first dose.
The Health Secretary added that some areas, which have not been named, had already jabbed the ‘vast majority’ of their over-80s.
It comes as a GP helping to organise the vaccine roll out in Sheffield suggested elderly Britons still waiting to be asked for an appointment should consider contacting their local surgery in case they have been missed.
‘I think now if people are over-80 it’s probably reasonable to sort of let us know that you have been missed because we might not of had your mobile phone number or we might not of been able to get hold of you by text,’ he said.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock said supplies would be re-routed to lagging areas
The Health Secretary told a Downing Street press conference last night: ‘We’re prioritising the supply of the vaccine into those parts of the country that need to complete the over-80s.’
Mr Hancock revealed yesterday that more than 4million people in the UK have now received a vaccine, including more than half of over-80s and care home residents.
He heaped praise on Slough in Berkshire for having vaccinated all of the town’s elderly care home residents, a feat matched by Newcastle upon Tyne.
Dr Hart today warned some over-80s may have missed appointments because they haven’t checked their phones for texts from their GPs.
‘We obviously want people to be vaccinated but the difficulty for us has been the short notice of supply which has meant we’ve had to contact most people by mobile phones and by telephone rather than sending letters and having a more staged planned approach,’ he told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme.
‘So that’s meant if people haven’t been in or we haven’t been able to get hold of them sometimes we might of missed people.’
The Northern Ireland Secretary Brandon Lewis also said today there would be ‘some overlap’ between getting the last over-80s vaccinated and lower priority over-70s in some areas.
He told LBC: ‘We’re very clear that areas should be getting through the majority of the first cohort before they move on to the second cohort, but there will be an overlap.
‘The reality is as you’re moving through these, as you start to bring the second cohort in, there will be a bit of an overlap.
‘So while they’re still finishing cohort one some people from the second cohort will be having their vaccines and being contacted.
‘That’s understandable because the other alternative is you get through cohort one and you pause before you can start getting cohort two in and that would be wrong.”
He added: ‘In order to keep things flowing and moving we will see some overlap, but areas should be getting through the majority of cohort one before they start moving to cohort two.’

“See ya later, pal,” called Charlie from the bend in the stairwell.
Standing in the open doorway of the apartment, Frank gave him a wave. It had been good of Charlie to take all this trouble and Frank was grateful. Charlie was a good friend - always had been.
Charlie, now further down the stairs near the front door, yelled, “And maybe you’ll get a little surprise before I come back.”
“Whaddya mean?” shouted Frank, taking a step towards the stairs.
“Maybe you’ll get lucky,” floated up the stairwell from Charlie, mysteriously, before the sound of the front swing door closing ended the cryptic conversation.
Not understanding any of it, Frank shook his head and, bewildered, turned back into the apartment. He closed his door and, as he took the few paces towards the bedroom, glimpsed his reflection in the hall mirror. What a sight! The scars on what was left of his face might heal eventually but they would be there for a long time. He moved on down the hall to the bedroom, sank onto the bed and took stock of his surroundings and the past twelve months.
It had begun some time last year; he couldn’t remember when. He couldn’t exactly remember anything, except that his motorcycle had finally come off at that bend and thrown him over a cliff, bouncing him off the rocks on the way down. His injuries had been bad; the hall mirror testified to that. The guys in the oncoming vehicle had been even unluckier, one of them dying in the accident. The paramedics had fixed up Frank, before handing him over to the hospital - and the cops. When he was fit to stand, they threw more rocks at him - of the legal kind.
This was Frank’s first taste of freedom for some time. Those months behind bars had been tough (aren’t they always?) and this bed (king-size: what had Charlie been thinking - that he’d be entertaining guests?) was the best thing he’d known in a year. The rest of the apartment was also well appointed: comfortable, big enough to relax in, for several people. There was a second bedroom, plus a big shower, a long cooking-dining-living area and a full-length balcony through the French doors. How the hell Charlie thought he was ever going to pay all this off ...
Frank gave up trying to figure it out and turned to open the bedside cupboard. There was a bottle of Scotch, a glass and a note which read, ‘Hey buddy, you’ve been away a while. Help yourself!’ Yeah, it had been a while, he thought. Collecting ice from the freezer, he lay back to let the whisky tingle its way down his throat and start to remind him what it was like to be a human being again. He got up, switched on the cable TV to watch what other human beings were doing.
His body now began to remind him how long it really was since he had last relaxed like this. He realized he was thirsty, and tired - and, yeah, he was horny, too! But - first things first. Three slugs of Scotch later, he was just starting to drift off into a fantasy world, half-sleep, half-reality, when the apartment doorbell jolted him fully awake again.
He switched off the TV and, as he weaved along the hallway clutching his glass, the half-bottle of scotch he had already drunk causing him to brush unsteadily against the walls on either side, he thought to himself, ‘That Charlie thinks of everything except keeping his own key!’ and reminded himself to give his friend a good-natured kick in the teeth. He swung the door open with the half-prepared accusation on his lips. But it wasn’t Charlie. To his stunned surprise, standing there, looking a little lost, a bit confused and shy, was a really cute-looking schoolgirl.
Frank’s first thought was, ‘If this is about selling cookies or collecting for charity, I’m not interested.’ Charity, however, prevailed in his second thought: maybe the girl was another of Charlie’s ideas. Her appearance was just unusual enough to make him wonder. He looked at her again, more closely this time. She could have been 18 or 19 but she looked younger. He seemed to hear Charlie’s voice in his ear, saying, ‘Just the way you like ‘em, eh, Frankie?’ And Frank could not but admit that this was, indeed, exactly the way he liked them.
It should be said that Frank was no child molester. Horny as he was now (and, for that matter, all his life) - and having been so long separated from anything feminine, his appetite was sharp as a knife - nevertheless, sex for him was ‘anything goes, except with children or animals’. But a schoolgirl fantasy - that was something else; and this girl was a wet dream! He noticed with some relief that, even though she had registered the scarring of his face, she had not recoiled in horror. for the first time in a year he felt human - and for the first time since leaving jail he felt his penis harden.
He allowed himself a few seconds to take in the whole picture. It was close to perfect. Tucked into her pleated skirt, she wore a a long-sleeved white shirt, beneath which her budding young breasts were discreetly obvious, gently separated by a striped tie, echoing the colours in her school jacket. Below her knees, visible a little lower than the skirt hem, were long white socks and the ensemble was complemented with black, ordinary, ‘sensible’ shoes. Her light brown hair, parted in the middle, was shoulder length and floppy, perfectly framing her wide-eyed, pretty, little-girl face. over her shoulder she carried a school bag. Even at this short distance it was possible to detect the subtle hint of a dab of perfume over her natural body scent. She was gorgeous!
Then he suddenly realized he had long been staring at her in a very personal way and, with a touch of embarrassment, was about to speak when she beat him to it, asking, “You Frank?”
Unprepared for her to start the dialogue, he was momentarily stunned, eventually stammering, “Uh - yes ... sorry - you want to come in?”
Without replying, she stepped past him into the hall and made her way towards the bedroom he had just left. She seemed to know her way around. Obviously this was indeed the ‘surprise’ his friend had alluded to when he left. Her rear end jiggled sexily just in front of him: not too obviously but, like with plenty of teenage girls, just enough to keep him highly aroused.
He adjusted his hard-on in his pants and, without thinking, his gaze fixed on her buttocks moving beneath her school skirt, he asked, “Charlie send you?”
The girl stopped, turned to him and said, seemingly totally innocently, “Who?”
“Never mind,” said Frank, deciding he’d go along with Charlie’s little game. “Drink?” he asked her. “I got some scotch here.”
“Just Coke, thanks,” she replied, walking on to the kitchen-diner door and dropping her bag.
He wasn’t sure he could supply that but moved to check the fridge. Whether she did it deliberately or not he couldn’t tell, but she didn’t shift, staying in the doorway, half blocking it, forcing him to brush past her. In doing so, as he pressed closely against her young body, he became aware of the firmness of her lovely young tits under the school uniform shirt. At the same time she was left in no doubt about his erection, which by now was brutally large. It was the first time they had touched and it offered a tantalizing promise of the intimacy he guessed - hoped - they were going to share.
Sure enough, he found Coke - and food and much else besides - in the fridge and cupboards. That Charlie - he had thought of everything! Frank handed the girl her drink, which she accepted with a hushed ‘thank you’. He then realized that so far she’d been introduced only to his cock - and then only ‘in passing’, as it were. He needed to know her better.
“What’s your name?”
Just a single syllable, spoken softly in her little-girl voice but for Frank it was a huge turn-on. It made her sound vulnerable and in need of protection. At the same time, perversely, her simple pronunciation of the name inflamed the longing inside him, making him want to violate her innocence. His civilized mind was telling him to take it easy but his animal brain was screaming at him to rip her shirt open and lick those tits; suckle her nipples; press her against the wall, grope under her little pleated skirt, shove his hand down her panties and feel her moist and downy young slit; pick her up, throw her on the bed and ... whoa! Frank told himself to slow down. His civilized mind had won the battle - for now.
He poured some Coke into his scotch and made for his bedroom again - by way of the kitchen-diner door. Kim was still leaning against the frame. This time as he brushed past, he stopped, just for a second, to rub his hard-on against her. Was it his imagination, or did she respond, very gently?
He moved on to the open bedroom door, then turned back and, with a voice as calm as he could make it, softly enquired: “Join me?”
Kim made no reply but simply took another sip of Coke, put her glass down, picked up her bag and slowly followed him inside. By the time she got there Frank had kicked off his shoes and was just straightening out on the far side of the bed, his hands behind his head. He was trying to act cool but a guy who hasn’t had any pussy for months can only do so much. Besides, the long hard cylinder inside his Levis told Kim all she needed to know. She removed her school jacket, arranging it neatly over the back of a chair. She turned back to face him, her crisp white school shirt and tie making Frank ache with longing for her. She looked so virginal and desirable. Her perky little nipples were dimly visible through the cotton material. This schoolgirl didn’t need a bra - and she wasn’t wearing one.
To Frank, now that the chips were down, the atmosphere was strangely tense. The proximity of this unbearably sexy young chick and his many months of enforced celibacy were beginning to make him tremble slightly. Kim helped to defuse the situation by finding the radio and tuning to some music. Then she crossed to his side of the bed and started to undo the button on one of her shirt cuffs. But Frank had other ideas - lecherous ones, of course.
“No. Leave your gear on for now,” he said quietly.
He was controlling his voice in an attempt to conceal his hunger for her. But he knew she wasn’t fooled. He guessed these professional escort chicks could pick an impossibly horny bastard like him a mile away. ‘That’s how they earn their money, after all,’ he thought.
Kim sat on the edge of the bed. Frank moved towards the middle to make room for her. She kicked off her school shoes and swung her white-socked feet onto the coverlet, propping herself on her left elbow. She elegantly and unfussily raised her right knee, letting her pleated skirt ride up to reveal the inside of her bare thigh and offer a glimpse of her plain white panties.
Frank was very impressed with her attention to detail. A more obvious and less intelligent girl, he told himself, would have chosen sexy lingerie, which would have looked good on her but would have ruined the illusion of the virginal student. The socks and the knickers were a brilliant idea. His admiring assessment of her was terminated abruptly, however, when without warning Kim reached over and gently placed her right hand on the iron-hard lump in his jeans. It was as much as he could do to suppress a groan. But, despite his efforts to stay cool, he could not stop himself from jumping slightly.
“You’re very uptight,” she said softly. “What’s the problem?”
Frank, not wanting to go into details, merely smiled at her, saying, “It’s been a long time.”
“OK, we can take it easy,” she replied, covering his raging cock again with her hand on his jeans.
After a few moments of gentle stroking, she knelt up on the bed, released his jeans at the waist and, taking great care not to catch his underwear or that giant piece of meat in the teeth of the zip, slowly drew his denims downwards, towards his aching testicles. When she had finished this delicate operation, with a little help from Frank, who lifted his arse off the bed slightly, the tip of his penis, by this time a monstrous rigid truncheon of flesh, screaming for sexual release, was visible above the waist band of his underpants. After successfully repeating the simpler task of lowering these as well, Kim murmured quietly in admiration of the revealed beast.
in a tone of voice - which sounded genuine to Frank - she said, “Mmm, you’ve got a lovely prick,” before bending over and gently licking its exquisitely sensitive underside, just below the tip.
This time Frank could not suppress an audible groan, which intensified when she slid her tongue up over the end slit. Almost immediately a bead of pre-cum appeared and ran down the other side, which, desperately stiff as he was, was almost touching his belly. Frank knew he couldn’t stand much more of this but was resolved not to blow too soon.
Kim, on the other hand, was acting like she had other ideas. After liberally, painstakingly, coating the entire length of his dick with her saliva, she knelt up once more and threw her right leg over Frank, straddling him. Watching his face closely for every reaction, she then raised the hem of her skirt again, higher this time, and leaned back slightly on her hands to let him gaze at her panty-covered crotch.
Frank was losing it and he knew it but he gritted his teeth and did all he could to stop himself from coming. He had to explore the offered territory. Extending a hand, with his middle finger he first stroked, gently but firmly, Kim’s pubic mound through her panties, then vertically up and down the covered slit of her cunt. Finally, after a minute or so of this glorious torture, he slid a finger into a leg opening of her knickers. He found, as he knew he would, a moist slit, framed by firm and puffy cunt lips and a just discernible protrusion, which he correctly assumed to be her clitoris, the whole beautiful area lightly covered with the softest adolescent down.
Kim had been leaning back, silently, with her eyes closed throughout all this but, when he inserted his finger into her vaginal opening and started to push it in and out, she decided to take matters into her own hands - literally. She leant up once more onto her knees, letting her skirt fall back over her thighs and covering Frank’s hand; then, without warning, she reached under the skirt, gripped his desperately eager cock, angled it upright and wanked it gently but firmly two or three times.
That finished Frank. Try as he might, there was no holding back the flood this time. He dragged his hand out of her knickers, his body partly jack-knifing in ecstasy, and shot a thick streak of white hot sperm straight up under Kim’s skirt and over her hand and thigh. She gave a startled little shriek, dropped his prick and swung off his body and off the bed. Even though his penis had been released from her delicate clutch, Frank’s orgasm was unstoppable, an uncontrollable volley of come continuing to blast from his prick, covering his belly and chest and hitting his face and the wall behind his head. He had to grasp his penis firmly to bring at least the direction of his spurting under some control.
Eventually the cannonade slowed and finally stopped. With eyes closed, he gently cradled his relieved balls, aching after the release. Cursing himself for behaving like a callow schoolboy on a first date, he caught his breath and looked up to see Kim wiping the worst of his massive discharge off the inside of her skirt. Embarrassed at his loss of control, he spoke to her apologetically.
“Sorry. Like I said, it’s been a long time - but I’ve never come like that before - ever.” Somehow he felt his apology was inadequate. “I’ll pay for any cleaning,” he added, lamely.
Kim seemed untroubled by it all and said, quite dismissively, “It’s OK. It sponges off. Besides, I’ve got other clothes in my bag.”
“No, don’t change!” he said quickly.
She paused in her sponging and turned to him, eyebrows raised questioningly. He smiled at her shyly, rapt to see her standing there, in her school knickers, shirt, tie and socks, cleaning his semen off the inside of her skirt. There was something about her ‘professional schoolgirl’ outfit that he found irresistibly arousing. He wanted to reserve the right fully to enjoy this fantasy and make up for his recent disastrous lack of control. He badly needed to take her, slowly, deeply, fiercely; to subdue her to whatever twist of lust his starved imagination might conjure up. Despite his recent shattering orgasm, amazingly he already felt renewed sexual stirrings for her. Who cared about a little dried spunk? It might just make everything a bit kinkier. His prick jerked upwards in anticipation.
Kim’s eyes flicked downwards momentarily to register the movement; then, looking Frank squarely in the eye, she wrapped the pleated skirt around her waist again and fastened it at the side, softly saying, “It might be a bit wet at first.”
“That’s how I like it,” grinned Frank.
Kim approached the bed once more, climbed on at the foot and, lifting her damp skirt, worked her way up towards Frank on her knees. When she reached his waist she stopped, frowned and, leaning forward, extended her finger to remove some come that had landed on his cheek during his eruption. She licked it experimentally, then sucked the rest into her mouth and swallowed it with apparent relish.
“Nice,” she said, approvingly. “Not everybody’s is. But yours is nice.”
She moved further up over Frank’s upper torso and gripped the bed head as she placed her pussy over his face, gently rocking her hips backwards and forwards. Frank’s moans of ecstasy were audible above the music from the radio as he inhaled her personal, private aroma. He raised both hands and stroked down her back, under the curve of her arse and under her skirt as he slowly licked the crotch of her knickers and pushed his tongue hard against her panty-covered cunt.
His levis, still bunched below his scrotum since the earlier débacle, revealed that he now had a raging hard-on again and his balls were tight in their sac. Holding her buttocks firmly in his grasp, he worked his tongue around the opening of her knickers trying to get to her fleshy young pussy lips. The splay of her legs, though, made this too difficult. Reluctantly, he reached up and slowly began to pull her panties down over her tight little arse. With some help from Kim, they managed to get one leg free, at the same time ridding Frank of his denims.
Now, with her knickers halfway down her other thigh, Frank licked freely along the slit of her fragrant cunt, running his tongue up and down inside the fleshy outer labia. He sucked these puffy lips, with their delicate covering of young downy fur, then nibbled on her clit, for the first time producing from Kim a little moan of pleasure. She bucked gently against Frank’s invasive tongue, wordlessly begging for more.
Frank moved his hands upwards once again. Firmly grasping one of her arse cheeks with one hand, he boldly felt for her anus with the middle finger of his other. For a few seconds he rubbed his finger repeatedly across her puckered arsehole, never at any time relaxing the pressure of his tongue on her by now highly aroused cunt. Then, gently but decisively, he pushed past her sphincter, embedding his longest finger in her anus up to the second knuckle, evoking a delighted squeal of pleasure from Kim.
“Ohhh! Yes! Oh, you dirty bastard, I love that!”
In the circumstances, with the flesh of Kim’s cunt pressed hard against his nose and mouth, Frank was content to be thought a dirty bastard. He moaned incoherently into her crotch, sniffing and tasting her most intimate effusions. He began to rotate his finger inside her rectum while still occasionally fucking it in and out. To help intensify the pleasure, he also started licking a little higher, unsheathing the hood of her clit, which was stiffening up and now stood out wetly from her vulva. ‘God, she’s a hot piece of cunt!’ he thought, as he sucked blissfully at her tiny hard little dick.
As if in confirmation of his unspoken thoughts, Kim suddenly groaned with passion, then began to tremble, involuntarily agitating her pelvis, fucking Frank’s face with her pussy and crying out, “Oh shit! Yes! Put your tongue in now! Fuck me with your tongue!”
Reluctantly releasing her clit from his sucking lips, Frank transferred his attention to Kim’s vaginal entrance. He brought his free hand up behind and between her thighs and opened her cunt lips wider to accommodate his tongue. As he stiffened it to enter her, he also abruptly inserted his index finger alongside the other in her arse and strenuously frigged her, violating both sensitive openings, unconsciously following the rhythm of the music still emanating from the radio.
This triggered an immediate orgasm in Kim, who bucked violently against the double invasion, clenching her vagina and anus on Frank’s tongue and fingers. To his ecstatic delight, he not only felt the reflex tightening of both orifices but could taste, at the height of her come - as the contraction of her pelvic muscles signalled the very peak of her orgasm - the secretion of her cunt’s lubricant as it oozed into his mouth.
Earlier, under the ministrations of Frank’s tongue, Kim had already lost control over her lower body movements. Now, as she submitted to an overwhelming excess of sexual stimulation, she continued to jerk her hips spasmodically in unconscious imitation of the agitation she had felt while he had masturbated her to climax - and, also like Frank, strangely in sympathy with the radio’s music rhythms. As the crisis gradually subsided, her whole body began to recover from the pure physical exertion, her mind slowly regained sanity and she sobbed quietly, whimpering with pleasure as it ebbed from her loins.
Frank, although at the very extremity of sexual arousal, was determined not to lose his cool again. He couldn’t wait to plunge his cock deep into her, but realized, if today wasn’t to be a total fiasco, that he’d have to do just that - wait. With painful patience he waited for Kim to come down from her sex high. His need was urgent; his appetite for ravishing this gorgeous schoolgirl wank-fantasy was ravenous; his lecherous imagination was running riot. But his gigantic ejaculation of a few minutes ago afforded him the resources he needed to bide his time until he was sure she was ready.
When her breathing returned to normal he was decisive. Gently withdrawing his fingers from her fundament, he quickly rolled out from beneath her, turning her onto her back to lie across the bed, her spread legs dangling over the edge. He took her panties off her leg and inhaled their intimate scent before using them to wipe her juices from his face. Standing between her parted legs, he bent over her and undid her school tie, leaving it threaded into her shirt collar. He pulled the shirt from the waist band of her skirt, still damp with his drying semen, and opened all the shirt buttons, revealing her delicious young breasts with their puffy areolae standing proud and full and irresistible. Tenderly, supporting his weight on his outstretched arms, he leant forward and his lips softly enclosed each engorged nipple in turn, leaving them shining in the soft glow of the bedside lamps.
Frank’s monumental prick was at full extension, standing at a sharp angle to his body, oozing pre-cum over the edge of the bed and Kim’s exposed thighs. Excited to a fever pitch of lewdness, his sexual appetite was so intense as to be barely manageable; he was rampant. Every nerve in his highly stimulated body was screaming to have this gorgeous fuckable young girl, moaning under his thrusting prick, as he emptied into her cunt the huge overburden of sperm in his balls.
He looked at Kim’s supine body, contrasting the innocent beauty of her adolescent breasts with the relative maturity of her gaping, sexually sated vulva, glistening with wetness where he had licked her, and redolent with that characteristic recent sex smell still lingering heavily on the bedroom air. He bent down once more and briefly filled his nostrils with her cuntal perfume, dipping, this time just with the tip of his tongue, into her love passage to savour her womanly flavour.
Then urgently, with bursting balls, he turned her over again, lifted one knee after the other onto the edge of the bed and spread them wide. He gently but firmly pushed her upper body down towards the bed’s coverlet, so as to present her sex and bottom as a raised target. Then, almost like a surgeon in an operating theatre, he carefully turned up her school shirt and skirt onto her back to reveal all her secret private parts, open and moist to receive her lover.
Frank permitted himself just one more indulgence. Bending down one last time, he bestowed a long, slow, continuous, slicing lick from Kim’s clitoris - still protruding wetly from under its little hood - up along the inverted length of her cunt, across her perineum to the puckered rosebud of her anus, where he allowed his tongue to linger and to enter there, letting it vibrate thrillingly inside for a few seconds, causing Kim to shudder with remembered lust.
Pausing only to let Kim enjoy this moment’s frisson, without further ado he suddenly stood up again and at last plunged his grossly extended and inflamed prick, excited now beyond endurance, deeply into her quim, as smoothly and steadily as a hot candle into butter. Gasping with relief at finally entering her delicious sex, he thrust several times, wildly and blissfully, into her wet warmth, before deliberately slowing to a stop, the better to feel the pressure of her soft, yet yielding, vagina around his iron-hard penis. Now motionless, he let his rigid, bloated prick soak in the humid, constricted glove-like passage.
Having regained full control of himself, Frank allowed himself time to languidly explore this divine channel by momentarily clenching the sinews behind his scrotum, flexing his massive organ in its sheath. Kim, luxuriating voluptuously in the fullness she felt from his gigantic tool, the length of which she could plainly feel alongside her cervix, sighed with pleasure and responded by tightening the same muscles Frank had felt closing around his tongue when she had come a few minutes ago. This brief physical, wordless conversation so aroused them both again that their lovemaking began again in earnest.
The continuous music from the radio, together with the mounting excitement of the two lovers, exemplified by moans and grunts from Frank, squeals and sighs from Kim, created a noise level so overwhelming that neither of them heard the apartment’s front door opening, nor Charlie and his girl friend, Julie, coming down the hallway.

NEW DELHI: Indian Defence Ministry and the US Department of Defence project agreement for Air-Launched Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (ALUAV) has got the final approval, the Ministry of Defence said on Friday.
The approval came on Thursday. The project agreement was signed under the Joint Working Group Air Systems in the Defence Technology and Trade Initiative (DTTI) on July 30, 2021.
The agreement for air launched unmanned aerial vehicle falls under the Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation (RDT&E) Memorandum of Agreement between the Ministry of Defence and the US Department of Defence, which was first signed in January 2006 and renewed in January 2015.
The agreement is a significant step towards deepening defence technology collaboration between the two nations through co-development of defence equipment.
The main aim of DTTI is to bring sustained leadership focus to promote collaborative technology exchange and create opportunities for co-production and co-development of future technologies for the Indian and US military forces.
Under DTTI, Joint Working Groups on land, naval, air, and aircraft carrier technologies have been established to focus on mutually agreed projects in respective domains.
The agreement for co-development of air launched unmanned aerial vehicle has been overseen by the Joint Working Group on Air Systems and is a major accomplishment for DTTI.
The agreement outlines the collaboration between Air Force Research Laboratory, Indian Air Force, and Defence Research and Development Organisation towards design, development, demonstration, testing and evaluation of systems to co-develop an air launched unmanned aerial vehicle Prototype.
The Aeronautical Development Establishment (ADE) at DRDO and the Aerospace Systems Directorate at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), along with the Indian and US Air Forces, are the principal organisations for execution of PA.
The agreement was signed by the co-chairs of the Joint Working Group Air Systems under DTTI, Assistant Chief of Air Staff for Plans Air Vice Marshal Narmdeshwar Tiwari from the Indian Air Force and Director, Air Force Security Assistance and Cooperation Directorate Brigadier General Brian R. Bruckbauer from the US Air Force.

Waite is the publisher of Personal Real Estate Investor, a Phoenix-based magazine that made its Tucson debut earlier this month. The magazine, launched in Phoenix in December 2003, is laid out menu-style so that investors--and homeowners, in some cases--can tap into the topic they need help with. The magazine's "departments" include investor strategies, where to invest, getting started, acquisition, improvement, management, trading and sales.
"We have one mission, and that is to help our readers make money," said Waite, a native New Zealander who knows both personal investing and publishing. "We are the antidote to the get-rich-quick people."
By that, he means the folks who put on high-priced seminars. "They usually play their cards very close to their chests and charge a lot of money for their secrets. When you pay up, it usually turns out that they don't have very much."
The May-June issue looks at Tucson and at investment opportunities in downtown's Armory Park, which, along with the magazine's feature on the Greater Coronado neighborhood in Phoenix, is a shameless plug for Waite's great personal bias--reviving older, in-town neighborhoods.
Part of that bias, he says, comes from the pleasure of making old, character-laden properties come alive again. And part of it is a practical concern for value--the idea that what Waite calls the "OPEC-driven lifestyle" will make posh suburban living less desirable economically and draw people back toward the city's core.
The magazine's target is people who are thinking about getting into the landlord game for themselves, and may not know where to start.
He points out that "real estate investor" isn't necessarily something that people set out to do. In some cases, it happens to people by accident. For example, a man and a woman, each owning a house, marry, which raises the question about whether to simply sell a house or use it as income property.
SUCH A FACEJust as in the movies, newspapers struggle to some degree with continuity--making sure, for example, that when the jump line says a story is continued to page A-8, the rest of the story really IS on page A-8.
So what's been up with the Tucson Citizen on Wednesdays in recent weeks, on A-1 with its promo of Jeff Smith's column? The teaser includes a somewhat somber-looking, somewhat hirsute fellow. The mug that accompanies his stuff is the rascal we've seen here and there in Tucson journalism (including in the Weekly for a while) for these many years--a clean-shaven fella with a smile that bespeaks confidence and mischief afoot.
So, which is it, Jeff? Beard or Burma Shave?

PARIS Protests have erupted across Iran in response to the death of Mahsa Amini, who was arrested by morality police, with a rights group reporting Wednesday that two more protesters were slain overnight, bringing the total to six.
Public outrage has erupted after Iranian officials reported the death of Amini, 22, who had been detained for allegedly wearing a hijab headscarf in a “improper” manner.
Activists said the woman, whose Kurdish name is Jhina, was killed by a strike to the head, an allegation rejected by Islamic Republic officials who stated they had initiated an investigation.
Some female protesters have defiantly removed their hijabs and burned them in bonfires, while others have symbolically cut their hair, according to video footage that has gone popular on social media.
According to state media, on the sixth night of street marches that had expanded to 15 cities, police deployed tear gas and arrested people to disperse crowds of up to 1,000 people.
According to the official IRNA news agency, demonstrators threw stones at security officers, set fire to police vehicles and waste bins, and yelled anti-government chants.
Article 19 stated it was “extremely worried” by reports of “illegal use of force by Iranian police and security personnel,” including the use of live ammunition.
According to IRNA, overnight rallies were organized in Tehran and other towns such as Mashhad in the northeast, Tabriz in the northwest, Rasht in the north, Isfahan in the middle, and Shiraz in the south.
Despite online limitations reported by Internet access watchdog Netblocks, demonstrators could be heard yelling “Death to the tyrant” and “Woman, life, freedom” in video footage that extended beyond Iran.
In Iran, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei spoke publicly on Wednesday but did not mention the escalating protests, and ultra-conservative President Ebrahim Raisi was scheduled to appear later that day at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
The governor of Kurdistan province, where Amini lived and where the protests began, Ismail Zarei Koosha, stated on Tuesday that three people had been killed during the protests.
He said they were “murdered suspiciously” as part of “an enemy plan,” according to Fars news agency.
Hengaw, a Kurdish human rights organization located in Norway, said on Wednesday that two additional demonstrators had been slain overnight.
The two, ages 16 and 23, were killed in the towns of Piranshahr and Urmia, both in West Azerbaijan province, according to Hengaw.
Another male demonstrator who was injured in Divandareh on September 17 died in hospital, according to the report.
Security forces opened fire on protestors in the southern city of Shiraz, where demonstrations lasted into the early hours of the morning.
The United Nations, the United States, France, and other countries have condemned Amini’s killing and Iran’s response to the protests.
The protests are among the most serious in Iran since the turmoil over fuel price increases in November 2019.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Nasser Kanani blasted “foreign interventionist stances” on Tuesday.
“It is regretful that some countries try to use an ongoing investigation to promote their political ambitions and desires against the Iranian government and people,” he said.
Iran’s Telecommunications Minister Issa Zarepour warned of Internet limitations on Wednesday, citing “security issues of the day,” according to ISNA news agency.

高分英语作文1：That's yo book
The power of the mind over the mateal mind is a strange thing, becse it is so powerful and so difficult to contl. Sometimes we find oselves thinking in a certain way, knowing that this thought may cse us tuble, but we find it hard to stop. For example, many people expeence illness at the same time ry year or ry time.
One day, Cindy came fm the chest community in the city. She had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. On the operating table, she expeenced a near death expeence.
He saw an angel and asked, "is this an angel?" he said, "no, you still have a year to celebrate her recovery. Cindy decided to stay in the hospital for coetic sgery. She n asked others to dye her hair.
Becse she has lived another year, she'd better make good use of it. She walked out of the hospital hall and was killed by an ambulance. She went up to the angel and said, "I thought you said I had a year left." the angel said, "Cindy, it's you.
I don't know you.".
My favote book is afeb9ee7ad ger , wtten by Susanna Collins. The ger is about a place called Panem, which is contlled by Congress ry year. As a punishment, Congress selects a girl and a boy fm each distct and sends them to an arena where they fight to death with a girl named katniss in Distct 12, who ts with her mother They support the family ding the harvest (when o children are selected), and her sister is selected, pm She volunteered to replace her, and a boy was chosen.
PEETA's advisor haymith guided them until they were sent to the arena. Pita pretended to love her for publicity, but it tned out that he really loved her. This book was first published becse it was so popular and so good that people made it into a movie.
It was a great book and I really enjoyed reading it.

.@BetoORourke: “Hell yes we’re going to take your AR-15, your AK-47" https://t.co/zVs55joxF7— Tom Elliott (@Tom Elliott) 1568336957.0
During a Friday interview with MSNBC host Joy Reid, O'Rourke claimed that he kept running into Texans who told him, in weirdly specific terms, that they agreed with his gun proposals and also with his reasons for making them.
Beto O'Rourke On How And Why To Ban Assault Weapons | All In | MSNBCwww.youtube.com
During the interview, O'Rourke claimed, "But even from those Texans who own AR-15s, they've told me this themselves: 'I don't need this. I don't need it to hunt. I don't need it to protect myself. It was fun to use. I like taking it out to the range, but if giving this back or cutting it to pieces or selling it to the government helps to keep us safer, then by all means let's do it,'"
O'Rourke also related a widely mocked anecdote on Friday in which he claimed that a person who described himself as a "lifelong Republican" approached him while he was using a urinal and claimed that he was totally right about guns.

Of course, this isn't the first time O'Rourke has made claims of questionable believability regarding conversations that allegedly happened to him while he was using a urinal. For example, in April he claimed that a University of Iowa student approached him at a urinal at his own campaign event and didn't recognize him.
Of course, O'Rourke's claims that he keeps running into Texans who agree with him on his gun policies are suspiciously at odds with, well, the odds. After all, a solid majority of Texans do NOT favor making gun laws more restrictive, or banning semiautomatic weapons like the AR-15, according to polling. Which means that either O'Rourke has tremendous luck in terms of who he is running into, or that he is perhaps not being completely forthcoming with the truth.

John Calipari is entering his fifth season as the head coach at the University of Kentucky, amassing 123 victories, two Final Four appearances, and of course, the program’s eighth national championship in 2012.
Coach Cal has put together a highly-touted recruiting class, looking to add another banner in the spring of 2014, though, the UK coach is working on something else for next year. Through his own Twitter feed on Tuesday afternoon, Calipari announced he is writing a book about his experience in Big Blue Nation, entitled, Players First: Success from the Inside Out.
Calipari explained the idea behind the book, in three consecutive tweets:
I’ve been approached many times about doing a book, and I almost always say no, but this one kind of hit home. This book gives me the chance to go in-depth about how we do things at Kentucky and why we do what we do. Michael Sokolove, who is doing the book w/ me, is a New York Times Best Seller. We’ve spent many hours together talking about players first.
In 2010, Bouncing Back: Overcoming Setbacks to Succeed in Business and in Life was released, the last book Calipari had published. An excerpt has already been posted for his new book by The Penguin Press. Fans can order and reserve a copy now.

When Bush’s former press secretary admits that the administration used a “political propaganda campaign” to sell its case for war and calls the mainstream media “deferential, complicit enablers” – as Scott McClellan does in What Happened – it’s time to examine just how badly the press failed.
I have quantified the extent of complicity exhibited by The New York Times in the lead-up to war. By coding more than 6,300 comments by all sources used in 1,150 stories about Iraq between August 20, 2002 and the war’s outbreak the following March, I have created a data set that tells us where and how the newspaper went wrong.
It may surprise readers to learn that the Times did quote sources frequently on the potential costs of the war, the dangers of unilateralism, the benefits of working through the United Nations, and the wisdom of waiting until weapons inspections were completed and diplomacy was exhausted. All of these themes have robust representation in the coverage. The Times also frequently quoted sources who questioned whether the administration had the evidence that Iraq posed an imminent threat or whether it had justified the use of force. In the eight months studied, the Times ran more than 400 comments from a variety of sources questioning the administration’s depiction of Iraq as an urgent threat.
Where the paper failed was in challenging the administration’s two most incendiary rationales for the war: that Saddam Hussein’s government was pursuing a nuclear weapons program and that he was likely to pass weapons of mass destruction to al-Qaeda or some other terrorist organization that, in turn, might attack the United States.
In its coverage of these core issues – so central to the administration’s justification for the invasion – the Times ran three pro-administration comments for every one that questioned the administration’s evidence or reasoning. The New York Times editors were right to apologize for the newspaper’s lack of rigor on these two critical issues.
Did the Times fail to challenge the administration because these allegations were based on intelligence that was difficult to second guess? This excuse would be easy to swallow except that, as political writer Michael Massing has pointed out, another news chain – namely Knight Ridder – ferreted out the inconsistencies in the administration’s arguments by finding mid-level experts within the bureaucracy and not passively accepting high-level official statements at face value. John Walcott, Knight Ridder’s Washington bureau chief, told Massing how “we began hearing from sources in the military, the intelligence community, and the foreign service of doubts about the arguments the administration was making…These people were better informed about the details of intelligence than the people higher up in the food chain, and they were deeply troubled by what they regarded as the administration’s deliberate misrepresentation of intelligence, ranging from overstating the case to outright fabrication.”
In addition to the Times’ lack of journalistic rigor, it was ill-served by an elite debate that collapsed five months before the invasion. Once Congress passed the Authorization for Use of Military Force against Iraq on October 11, 2002, Capitol Hill fell virtually silent on the issue. To its credit, the Times turned to foreign leaders, especially Europeans, to balance the administration’s view. Between October 12 and the start of the war, 77% of pro-administration statements within all front-page stories about Iraq came from administration sources, while an astonishing 68% of all critical statements about Iraqi policy came from foreign leaders. But the opinions of foreign leaders carry far less weight than those in Congress, who counted for only 3% of critical comments after the Iraq vote.
Counting all stories over the entire period studied – and thus including the congressional war debate – Congress still only accounts for 13% of all critical comments about Iraqi policy cited in the Times.
As these findings suggest, the institution that really failed in the lead-up to the war was Congress. Only Congress has the forum to investigate the administration’s account of intelligence. Yet only half a dozen representatives or senators even bothered to read the National Intelligence Estimate on Iraq sent to Capitol Hill about eight days before the war vote. Senator Bob Graham was among them, and found that the report “undermined many of the Bush administration’s arguments for war with Iraq.” It is only now, five years after the fact, that Congress has concluded in a newly released report from the Senate intelligence committee that the administration exaggerated the threat of Iraq’s putative weapons of mass destruction.
Yes, The New York Times was complicit in failing to question the claims of high-level administration officials. But at least it continued to cite skeptics, albeit less influential ones. Leaders of Congress, especially the Democrats, could have forced a far more robust debate. Instead, they got cowed and let the war happen.

I just finished reading a memoir called Fakebook. Nope, I didn’t spell that wrong. And yes, I’m going to talk about yet another book. I swear, I’m not trying to compete with Oprah’s book club. I wouldn’t dare. I just find reading to be this amazing way to feel like I’m not alone. And, also, I just love it. So I won’t apologize for that.
Fakebook was fascinating to me because of its premise. It’s about this guy Dave who felt pretty disillusioned by social media. Facebook was still in its early days and he was already feeling like it was just a pubic forum where people were encouraged to be disingenuous. He felt like individuals got to showcase themselves in a very crafted way. He believed, as I often do, that social media doesn’t really connect us as it claims to do. In fact, it may even cause us to feel separated.
So he decides to pull a massive, elaborate prank which really turns into a pretty elaborate social experiment. He tells the world, via Facebook, that he’s walked away from his job, his apartment, his life and is hitting the road to see where it takes him. He starts to routinely post stories and pictures he’s manipulated with Photoshop of his road trip all while sitting at home with his computer.
Aside from being a pretty interesting story, it made me think about how I present myself. I think of myself as an open book, but am I? One of the reasons I love memoirs so much is that I feel like I’m not alone in my struggles. Other people’s honesty is refreshing and comforting to me. So, I want to try to do the same. To present myself in the most honest way I can. I figure, what better way than for me to tell you some things you might not know about me. The things that don’t end up on my Facebook profile. So here it goes…
Sometimes I feel so lonely it physically hurts – Sometimes I wish I could just get out of my own head – I’m really weary of certain aspects of my life but also terrified of change – I still think that my parents know everything there is to know in the world – I tend to have serious crushes on all the wrong people – Sometimes I cry while watching Vampire Diaries. Yes, sad things happen to vampires too – I find watching The Wonder Years far more poignant as an adult than I ever did as a kid – Complete strangers often tell me things about their lives – I still laugh at jokes about Uranus – I miss the days when people talked on the phone – I still have a voicemail on my phone from a guy I was in love with, because I’m know that once I delete it I have to face the truth that he’ll never be in my life again – I had a miscarriage years ago that makes me sad sometimes – When I got a call in the middle of the night that my closest friend had died in a car accident I threw bottles of shampoo against the wall because it’s the only thing I could find that wouldn’t leave little shards of glass everywhere. And even in my shock I knew that little shards of glass really hurt when you step on them – Every time I hear the song Big Jet Plane by Angus & Julia Stone I feel really happy – In 2009 my friend asked me to join Facebook because she was moving out of the country and said it would great way to be able to connect. I had no idea what Facebook was yet.
That felt pretty good. Maybe I should do it more often.
One of the things Dave, the author of Fakebook, discovered while posting about his fake journey was that, at the height of popularity, when lots of people were following him and commenting on his posts, was when he felt the most isolated. Although he was presenting a fabricated story of a grand adventure while actually stuck hiding at home so no one would realize that he was not actually on a grand adventure. He was surprised, though, by people’s reactions. He expected people to judge him or call him out on his outrageous tales. And while that happened some, mostly people were supportive and encouraging. They were rooting for his journey and even offering a bed and a warm meal if his travels took him near their home town. Despite everything he depicted about himself and his life he found people believing the best in him and actually wanting to connect.
When all was said and done, he concluded that social media doesn’t make us disconnected any more than being face to face makes us connected. It’s way more complex than that. It’s about how we use the mediums that surround us. He summed it up like this, “I realize what a fool’s errand it is to try to sum up the social media experience in a single, universal statement. Facebook hasn’t built walls between us; it’s built roads. Social media is driven by people, and people are complex. And that complexity grows when we cross each other’s paths.”
As far as I’m concerned, the jury is still out. I’ve been both encouraged and offended, hurt and blessed by social media. What I do love is that it gives the opportunity to “cross each other’s paths” in a way we didn’t have before. With a click of a button I can reach across the world and send someone my love and support. I can tell a total stranger that they aren’t alone and that we really aren’t all that different.
Social media isn’t going anywhere. I can only hope to paint myself in the most authentic way possible. And to strive to connect rather than build walls. And maybe, every once in a while, share a really hilarious video involving an animal falling off of something.

How do you fix South Africa's sexual and reproductive health wrongs? Help people access their rights.
Rape. It's anyone's worst fear, especially for vulnerable groups like sex workers. But what if a simple app could help prevent it, or at least connect you to care if it happened? Well, it might not be far off.
For many sex workers, rape and violence are still occupational hazards from clients and police. One in three sex workers surveyed report being sexually abused by police, according to recent research by the nongovernmental organisations Sonke and the Sex Workers Education and Advocacy Taskforce.
The national HIV plan hopes to stop new infections among the group but as the health department hands out condoms to workers in an effort to protect them, police continue to confiscate them.
To tackle problems like these, Nigeria-based health consultancy EpiAFRIC teamed up with activists, healthcare workers and coders for a hackathon to help put solutions in the palm of South Africans' hands.
Check out what happened next:
1. Wait, so what is a hackathon?
2. Health technology has brought everything from menstrual tracking apps to pill-popping ATMs, so why can't it link people to the sexual and reproductive health services and information they need? Tlaleng Mofokeng of the Sexual and Reproductive Justice Coalition of South Africa thinks it can.
It is undeniable that technology is the key to a lot of the health issues we face in Africa. Sexual and reproductive health rights should not be left out- @drtlaleng of @Nalane4RJ at #HealthMeetsTechSA hackathon pic.twitter.com/JfOjXE1Qrb - EpiAFRIC (@EpiAFRIC) November 29, 2018
3. How do you find solutions? Step one: Chart the problem. For many South Africans - particularly young women most at risk of HIV infection - unplanned pregnancies, transactional sex and a lack of support are barriers to taking control of their sex lives.

4. And no one is speaking to people who don't identify as male or female...

5. So what makes a good solution? Thinking through how real people will actually use it.

6. Next, is plotting out how much it will cost to make and use.
What's first up on the second day of the #HealthMeetsTechSA Hackathon? Creating a business model for the #SRHR tech. Facilitator: How much will it cost to make? How much will I sell it for? Who is this useful for? Groups are now answering these questions. pic.twitter.com/AMomkjwnZT - Bhekisisa M&G Health (@Bhekisisa_MG) November 30, 2018
7. One group suggested paying people to access health screening services. Take an HIV test, earn points to get cash back. Listen, as they explain:

8. But what makes a GREAT solution? The winning team came up with a bracelet for sex workers that functions as a panic button. Linked to your phone, the button sends out SMSes to your emergency contacts if you're in danger of being raped.
Watch as they tell you what sets their technology apart:
Team Always Safe talks about their tech which is a phone app and panic button bracelet which is aimed at #sexworkers. The tech allows the wearer to push the button and let their emergency contacts know if they are in danger. pic.twitter.com/LfHuzkn547 - Bhekisisa M&G Health (@Bhekisisa_MG) November 30, 2018
As part of the Hackathon, the winning team gets more than R20 000 to put their idea into practice.

Bridge for bikes
Re “Should bicyclists ride on I-5 freeway if it’s the shortest commute route?” (sacbee.com, Dec. 11): I am sure that bicyclists and others will all survive the necessary closing of the Jibboom Street bridge. The real issue is the lack of consideration being given bicyclists and pedestrians in the matter. In planning this lengthy renovation, due consideration should have been given to the people who use it. The county’s official detour map fails to provide people any safe and defined route to and from the bridge.
The map’s suggested detour to midtown Pipe’s Bridge or to the distant H Street bridge does not show a specific route from the closed bridge. One can ride the Twin Rivers detour and try to cross the river on the Highway 160 bridge. The narrow sidewalk with a high drop-off would have to be navigated to get across the river. Encountering anyone walking or riding in the opposite direction would make it hard not to fall into fast-moving traffic. It would be better if one lane of Highway 160 was closed off over the bridge, enabling safe passage for all concerned. Bicyclists and pedestrians would be elated.
We have little if any traffic enforcement in Sacramento. Ever see anyone getting a ticket? I haven’t. The only traffic enforcement are red-light cameras, which charge about $500 for a violation. I know, I popped a yellow left turn light and got the notice in the mail. We do have parking enforcement. Lots of parking enforcement. The scooters are ubiquitous in the downtown area, reaping the harvest of the unlucky and confused. Check out the small warning signs about not parking on a certain day for street cleaning – street cleaning that doesn’t occur.
Our city fathers want revenue on the cheap and they have it. Red-light camera operators simply notify the courts of a violation and skim their piece of the action with balance off to City Hall. Sweet deal, no cops involved and the red-light camera company installs the hardware. I have over 20 years in law enforcement and have worked traffic patrol, written tickets, warned offenders and helped peel out drunks from wrecks. Sacramento deserves better. Want fatal accidents to go down? Contract with the CHP to work traffic in the city of Sacramento.

Not a champion
Re “Tom McClintock” (Letters to the Editor, Dec. 20): Richard Tipton is quite right when he suggests that in abandoning his principles of fiscal conservatism, Tom McClintock has lost not just the support of his constituents, but also their respect. However, Tipton overlooks the second installment of the grand plan to further enrich the most privileged in America – the assault on the earned benefits of Medicare and Social Security. At that time, I expect McClintock to suddenly remember his longstanding concerns about deficit spending and debt, and to re-emerge as the champion of fiscal conservatism Tipton remembers. Any legislator with such fluidity in their principles, hypocrisy and blind adherence to political expediency deserves to lose our vote.

Run Python tests
Generally, Aqua runs and debugs Python tests in the same way as other Python applications, by running the run/debug configurations you have created. When doing so, it passes the specified test classes or methods to the test runner.
If you run a test for which there is no permanent run/debug configuration, a temporary configuration is created. You can then save such a configuration using the Run/debug configuration dialog if you want to reuse it later.
The tests run in the background, so you can execute several tests at the same time.
Each running configuration gets its own tab in the Run tool window (the Test Results tab). One tab can aggregate several tests.
Run all Python tests in a directory
In the Project tool window, select the directory that contains tests to be executed.
From the context menu, select the corresponding run command.
If the directory contains tests that belong to the different testing frameworks, select the configuration to be used.
For example, select.
Explore results in the test runner.
By default, all tests are executed one by one. You can change this behavior for the pytest testing framework and execute your tests in parallel.
Run Python tests in parallel
Enable test multiprocessing to optimize execution of your pytest tests.
To explicitly specify the number of CPUs for test execution:
Install the pytest-xdist.
Specify pytest as the project testing framework. See Choose your testing framework for more details.
Select Edit configurations... from the list of the run/debug configurations on the main toolbar. In the Run/Debug Configurations dialog, expand the Pytest tests group, and select pytest in <directory name>.
Aqua creates this configuration when you run all tests in a directory for the very first time. If you haven't executed the tests yet, click the icon and specify the run/debug Configuration parameters.
In the Run/Debug Configurations dialog, in the Additional Arguments field specify the number of the CPUs to run the tests:
-n <number of CPUs>and save the changes.
Now run all the tests in the directory again and inspect the output in the Run tool window. In the shown example, The total execution time is 12s 79ms as compared to 30s 13ms when running the same tests consequentially. The test report provides information about the CPUs used to run the tests and execution time.
Alternatively, you can specify the number of CPUs to run your tests in the pytest.ini file. For example,
If you can stop a running tests, all running tests stop immediately. Icons of tests in the Run tool window reflect status of the test (passed, failed, aborted).

Unfortunately, many people today, live with this kind of mindset. With the 24/7 access to media outlets around the world, it’s no wonder more, and more people are unable to achieve a blissful and positive state of mind. Today’s media knows that “negative news sells,” which provides them with the justification to engage in fear mongering. Sadly, it works. This is because we are designed to survive, rather than thrive. While this is beneficial for us as a species, focusing our brains on survival, it does nothing to guarantee our personal success. If it did, there would be more people flourishing both financially and personally.
Fortunately, our minds are incredibly powerful and are capable of incredibly awesome things. Our job is to stand guard at the doors of our thoughts and feed it empowering words. This is where positive affirmations come into play.

Jessica Ann Simpson was born July 10, 1980. American singer, actress, and businesswoman. After performing in church choirs as a child, Simpson signed a contract with “Columbia Records” in 1997, at the age of 17. Her debut studio album, “Sweet Kisses” (1999), sold two million copies in the United States and was a major success. Simpson adopted a more mature image for her second studio album, “Irresistible” (2001), and its title track became her second top 20 hit on the “Billboard Hot 100”. “This Skin” (2003), Simpson’s third studio album, sold three million copies. In addition to her musical pursuits, Simpson launched “The Jessica Simpson Collection”, a fashion line of clothing and other items, in 2005. She also starred in the reality television series “The Price of Beauty” in 2010. She published a memoir in 2020, “Open Book”, which reached number one in “The New York Times Bestseller”. The list sold over 59,000 copies in its first week. Simpson is married to Eric Johnson, with whom she has three children.
1. Jessica Simpson is an example of one of the biggest physical transformations in Hollywood. With a height of 5’3”, at one point she weighed 240 lb, and then she managed to lose 110 lb in record time and regain her girlish figure, as it were, with the help of a special menu with which there is no starvation.
2. As she got married, problems began. After each pregnancy, she gained a lot of weight, and as if it wasn’t enough that she felt bad about it, the comments on the networks were also merciless. People called her derogatory names and made fun of her.

Make it SPECIAL
Although nervous at first most couples find that learning a wedding dance isn’t just to serve a purpose for their wedding day but a great activity to share together which is fun and memorable.
We will create a dance specifically choreographed to a song of your choice. If you’re not sure on what song to use we can also help you to choose a track. Once the music is chosen, we move on to the type of dance to suit your song & create simple yet effective choreography, tailored to your dancing skills ensuring you perform as a fabulous couple on the day!
Your Own Unique Dance
We have found through experience that 3 one hour sessions are typically sufficient for us you put together a unique routine for you, help you to rehearse the moves and then tidy up some of the styling. If you can get the chance to practice in your own time too, this is a great help!
See below for a rough outline of the lesson plan.
Get in touch...let us know a preferred ime for your first dance lesson and to discuss your song choice and what style of dance you would like to perform.
For instance it can be fun and cheeky like a cha cha cha/salsa or soft and romantic like a waltz/rumba. Starting with your song choice will enable us to come to your first lesson much more prepared and be able to move on to polishing your performance more quickly. Other things to consider and discuss would be the size of your dance floor, dress, suits and shoes.
Starting with a suitable routine to wow your guests and getting to grips with the basic moves!
Usually we can get most of the choreography done in the first hour, but you may still have a little to add next time. We can write down the steps for you at the end of this lesson should you wish to take them away and practice - a good idea to do this as it helps for us to remember them as well!
The second lesson would be to firstly go over the moves we did in the previous lesson and then to finalise any choreography you may need.
Then it is important to ensure you can get the dance moving to the music and begin to look at how you may perform the dance on the night!
The third lesson will be purely on performance.
By now you will know and have practiced your routine so we will dedicate the time to polishing the moves and working on your style!
Wedding Package for Just £120
Some couples like to involve other members of their family and bridal party, not necessarily in their first dance but afterwards as a special event.
We can certainly help if this is something that you would like to do.


LOS ANGELES – Thousands of people have marched in Phoenix, Arizona to express their opposition to a controversial immigration law signed by the state governor.
Television images showed the protesters converging on the State Capitol, where they held a rally to denounce the legislation.
The law, signed by Arizona's Republican Governor Jan Brewer on Friday, allows police to question and detain anyone in the southwestern border state they believe may be an illegal immigrant, even if they are not suspected of committing another crime.
It would also require anyone in the state suspected of being an illegal immigrant to show a document proving their legal status, like a "green card" permanent residency document or a passport.
Opponents of the law say that if police demand papers from someone they suspect of being an illegal immigrant, and they turn out to be a US citizen, their constitutional rights will have been infringed.
US Democratic Congressman Luis Gutierrez urged the demonstrators to keep up pressure on politicians, reminding them that the controversial law would not take effect for 90 days.
"In these 90 days, we will demonstrate our solidarity," he said, addressing the protesters in Spanish. "That's why we are here."
Demonstrator Jose Acosta told CNN television he was concerned about the new law.
"What is reasonable suspicion? Are we going to get pulled over just because of a broken taillight, or because of the color of our skin?" he asked.
Civil rights leader Al Sharpton said it was people's moral obligation to stand against this profiling in Arizona.
"Make no mistake about it. This is not a fight between minorities," he said. "This is a fight for justice and fairness for everyone."
Sharpton said protesters would bring people from around the country to Arizona who will walk down the streets with no identity cards and submit themselves to arrest.
"What is the difference between us and any Mexican, or any Asian, or anyone else?" he asked. "We will bring freedom walkers to Arizona just like freedom riders went to the deep South 50 years ago."
President Barack Obama, in a rare presidential intervention on a state matter, earlier described the law as "misguided."
At a naturalization ceremony for immigrant US service members at the White House last week, Obama said the measure threatens to "undermine basic notions of fairness that we cherish as Americans, as well as the trust between police and our communities that is so crucial to keeping us safe."
