An extraordinary verdict has been passed in Great Britain: four Black Lives Matter protesters: inside were acquitted in the process of the overthrow of a statue.
Bristol – Four protesters who toppled a statue during the Black Lives Matter protests were acquitted in court. The trial before the Bristol Crown Court in England ended after 24 days on Wednesday (05.01.2022), when a jury made up of twelve jurors acquitted the so-called “Colston 4” from the allegation of property damage, as reported by the Bristol Live portal.
After the assassination of George Floyd in the USA, protests as part of the Black Lives Matter movement had broken out in Bristol as well. The four activists, three men and one woman between the ages of 22 and 37, overthrew the statue of the slave trader Edward Colston in Bristol in June 2020. Videos show the image of Colston being brought down with a rope and later pushed into Bristol Harbor. The four defendants were acquitted, despite admitting that they were involved in the crime.
Trial of Black Live’s Matter protests comes to an end: judgment in Bristol causes controversy
“The truth is, the defendants should never have been charged,” said one of the defense lawyers. The four had already denied the criminal nature of their act in court and pleaded not guilty. The protesters see the statue of Colston as a disgrace for Bristol, as the latter is said to have sold around 100,000 West African slaves to the Caribbean and the USA between 1672 and 1689. On the other hand, the Conservative MP is seen as a philanthropist, as he drove his fortune for the development of Bristol.
In addition to the verdict on the “Colston 4”, a new phase of coming to terms with the colonial past of Great Britain has begun since the protests. In Bristol, for example, two schools and an event hall were renamed to bear Colston’s name. Nonetheless, the ruling has sparked controversy in the UK, with critics seeing it as a license for vandals. These voices include Conservative MPs calling for protesters to be prosecuted, the Daily Mail reported.
Black Lives Matter: Statue and pedestal become art in Bristol
The statue itself has since been seen again in Bristol when it was shown at an exhibition focusing on the Black Lives Matter movement. Meanwhile, a statue of Black Lives Matter activist Jen Reid was briefly placed on the former location of the Colston image. However, this was removed from the city of Bristol shortly afterwards, as there was no permit for it.
When the verdict was announced, the four defendants appeared wearing T-shirts designed by Bristol-born artist Banksy. It shows the empty base of the Colston statue and the word Bristol in capital letters. The acquitted Rhian Graham, as she left the courtroom, thanked everyone who had demonstrated “in the name of equality” at the demonstration. (vbu / afp)

China denounces Taiwan president's speech
TAIPEI (REUTERS) – China’s government on Sunday (Oct 10) denounced Taiwan President Tsai Ing-wen’s National Day speech, saying it incited confrontation and distorted facts.
The seeking of Taiwan independence closes the door to dialogue, China’s Taiwan Affairs Office said.
Speaking earlier on Sunday, Ms Tsai said that Taiwan will keep bolstering its defences to ensure nobody can force the island to accept the path China has laid down, offering neither freedom nor democracy, and repeated a call for talks with Beijing.

Paul McCartney Claims John Lennon Initiated The Beatles Break-Up
In an excerpt of an interview with The Guardian, Paul McCartney has blamed John Lennon for initiating the breakup of The Beatles more than 50 years ago.
McCartney has long been blamed for the split, but now calls the breakup and its aftermath the “most difficult period” of his life.
“Stop right there. I am not the person who instigated the split. Oh no, no, no. John walked into a room one day and said I am leaving the Beatles. Is that instigating the split, or not?” McCartney said. He added: ‘This was my band, this was my job, this was my life, so I wanted it to continue.”
McCartney, age 79, told The Guardian that he, George Harrison and Ringo Starr were “left to pick up the pieces.” He added that the three were instructed to keep silent while pending business deals were concluded.
“So for a few months, we had to pretend,” McCartney said. “It was weird, because we all knew it was the end of the Beatles. But we couldn’t just walk away.”
McCartney added that he eventually decided to “let the cat out of the bag.”

WASHINGTON– Vice President Mike Pence told a worldwide audience that the United States means to lead in space but looks for cooperation in area exploration with “freedom-loving” countries.
Pence, speaking at the opening event of the 70 th International Astronautical Congress here Oct. 21, made no new statements about nationwide area policy or worldwide cooperation in his remarks, instead reiterating the Trump administration’s style of renewed American leadership in space.
” Under President Donald Trump’s management, America is leading in space once again,” Pence stated, a style he went back to numerous times in a speech that lasted under 20 minutes. “He thinks, as I do, that’s it’s America’s destiny to be the leader among nations in our experience into the excellent unidentified.”
Pence, though, stated that the United States was ready to work together with other countries in space expedition. “The United States of America will always want to work carefully with similar freedom-loving countries as we lead humanity into the last frontier,” he said.
He mentioned as examples of that interest by several countries in cooperation on the NASA-led Artemis program, consisting of Australia and Canada. Last week, the Japanese federal government announced its intent to work with the U.S. on both the lunar Entrance and lunar landing missions.
Pence repeated the style of working with “freedom-loving” nations and a beneficial regulatory environment. “As more countries acquire the ability to check out space and develop locations beyond Earth’s atmosphere, we much likewise make sure that we bring into area our shared commitment to liberty, guideline of law and personal property,” he stated. “We will use all legal and diplomatic methods to develop a steady and orderly area environment that drives opportunity, develops prosperity and ensures our security in the world.”
Pence’s American-centric remarks got a lukewarm response at times from a diverse global audience. A handful of individuals also left at the start of his speech, objecting his views on social concerns.
Pence, though, got a much more powerful reaction when he congratulated the team of Apollo 11, who got the International Astronautical Federation’s World Area Award on the 50 th anniversary of this historical mission. Buzz Aldrin participated in the ceremony, together with relative representing Mike Collins and the late Neil Armstrong. “It’s an honor to be with all of you, and to bear in mind the extraordinary contributions that you, Buzz, and your household members made to humanity 50 years back,” Pence said.


While The Black Keys' 2012 MTV Movie Awards performance of "Gold On The Ceiling" involved no "baby twinz," it did feature a surprise far greater than baby-bottle-guzzling Belmont Bruins dressed in footie onesies: The Black Keys' Movie Awards performance included special guest Johnny Depp, who picked up the Generation Award for his achievement in film acting after picking up a guitar and ripping into the El Camino cut.
"I gotta thank MTV for this -- this is quite an amazing honor. It's like the Get-Out-Of-The-Business Award, basically," he joked after receiving the golden popcorn from Aerosmith's Steven Tyler and Joe Perry.
Recently, Johnny Depp has shared a stage with Marilyn Manson, but tonight, in true Captain Jack Sparrow spirit, he had no problem adding an extra layer of swashbuckling bravado to "Gold On The Ceiling," which already sounds like the soundtrack to a spaghetti Western saloon duel.
After Aerosmith presented Johnny Depp with his award, the actor (who must have some undiagnosed genetic malfunction that's resulted in him looking better than the entirety of the human population -- that's the ONLY thing I can think of to properly explain how good that man looks) praised Aerosmith as rock legends and hailed The Black Keys as future rock legends before hurtling himself full-bore into a live rendition of "Lonely Boy."
Any time you're ready to release that solo album, Johnny, we're ready too.

In Silence by Moon and Aries: Review
The new single, In Silence, from the Synth Pop Opera duo Moon and Aries is a heartwarmingly intimate love song from their latest EP, Paradise.
Consisting of German composer and producer Tom Aries and Canadian singer-songwriter Jordana Moon, the duo’s music carries a warm vibe and the feeling of assurance of a better future. Theatrical in composition and arrangements in combination of Jordana’s pop edge and Tom’s classical piano with a nostalgic synth, their sound is like no others. Hence the synth pop opera genre.
“When you’re here next to me love me in silence
When you want me to speak I’ll say it in silence
When you walk thru the door, come in silence
When you’re wanting more, show me in silence”
Being the opening track for their latest EP Paradise, the song sets the tone for the rest of the EP. Intimate and romantic, the poetic lyrics resonate and fill the heart with passion to bring out the lover in you. The sound, with the starting piano chords, kindles the fire that keeps building up as the song progresses as more instruments join the mix. Jordana’s ethereal mellow singing is really amplified by the steady beats and her vocal melodies in the background. The instrumentation of the song carries the same emotions as the lyrics thanks to the brilliant production quality of the song. This romantic ballad is a perfect fit for your candlelight date night playlist.

Theodore Witcher’s hip, smooth, and probing meditation of American Black life in the arts began as an underground drama before gaining traction as a dynamic artefact of the intersection between ‘90s hip-hop culture and poetic literature. At the time, you could call 1997’s Love Jones the little-film-that-could; a small, curious drama that won many critics over with its subtle charms and understated performances. Today, it stands as a cornerstone of Black narrative in cinema, an effort that helped to transition its lead, Larenz Tate, an actor who gained prominence in 1994’s grisly violent Menace II Society, into a leading man of romantic dramas.
Imbued with a sense of detached cool, but also a warm atmosphere of starry-eyed wonder, Love Jones reads like a spiritual cousin of another Criterion title, ‘Round Midnight (1986). Like that film, which was French filmmaker Bernard Tavernier’s love letter to jazz, Love Jones is Witcher’s poetic and moody paean to hip-hop. Saturated in the thick and smoky airs of blues and jazz, Love Jones tells the story of slam poet and would-be novelist Darius (Tate), who takes the stage at night at the local poetry haunt to flaunt his talents while laboriously working on his novel by day.
One night at the poetry café, he meets a young woman named Nina (Nia Long), with whom he is immediately smitten. Wasting no time, Darius works to impress her; first with his poetry, and then with his amorous advances. Nina, a career-minded photographer who is making serious strides in the industry, is reluctant to move her relationship with Darius beyond the boundaries of friendship. But the persistent Darius is certain of a future with Nina. Through a series of blunders, misunderstandings, and sincere interactions of love, their friendship transcends to a level beyond what either could have hoped for.
Witcher has stated that his intention with Love Jones was to create a Black narrative that did not involve drugs or violence; tropes he felt had become reductive, futile, and harmful in Black cinema throughout the ‘80s and the ‘90s. Love Jones succeeds in his attempts to redefine those stereotypes by first bringing focus to the positive developments of the culture – namely hip-hop and its responding literature.
Secondly, he looks to influences outside of the American perspective to draw from in order to make, rather ironically and poignantly, a very American film. In many ways, Witcher’s film owes much to the French new wave dramas of Claude Sautet; Love Jones’ gentle observations on romance, and the way they unfold precariously under life’s daily pressures, fall more in line with Sautet’s provincial dramas than they do with anything from Witcher’s American contemporaries.
As actors, Tate and Long precipitate a natural harmony of friendship, building their characters with nuanced movements and suggestive inflections that steadily propel the narrative from one sequence to the next. Tate’s genial charms are handsomely offset by the deeper, sometimes darker, passions that roil beneath his character’s calm demeanor; his hang-ups intrigue Long’s Nina, but they disturb her as well. Through the many stretches of dialogue, delivered at turns affably and turbulently, we learn that Nina is well-meaning but mistrustful of the men in her life. Devotion and desire brew into a storm when Nina’s long-time, on-and-off-again boyfriend Marvin (Khalil Kain) comes back into the picture, setting everyone’s insecurities ablaze.
Much of Love Jones centers on the ideas we have about human emotions and the types of languages we use to communicate those emotions. The film seeks to outline the alliance between the written word and speech and their respective consequences. Particularly satisfying are the poetry sequences in which verses (some of which were written by poet Sonia Sanchez) are delivered in passionate and moody slips; erotically-tipped and charged with humor and compassion, the poems supply a sort of commentary that bridges many of the scenes together in ways that are intuitive of how the narrative will eventually unfold.
Being a drama that depends mainly on dialogue, Love Jones runs the risk of its pace dragging. Overwriting dialogue and then saturating a story with it is often a mistake many screenwriters and filmmakers make when trying to create meaningful characters. The heavy dialogue might not have worked here if it revealed nothing of the story’s characters. But much of the film’s plot is accelerated by the exchanges between the members of the cast, whether it’s between Darius and Nina or their respective group of friends. Motivations, desires, anxieties and hopes are uncovered by the admissions of truths, by the very things these characters try to hide in their attempts to persuade one another and eventually gain the other’s love. It certainly doesn’t hurt that Witcher has assembled a cast that is easy on the viewers’ eyes; a handsome lot of players who speak as hip as they dress, and strut, sulk, and flirt around the scenery with elegance.
Criterion’s release of Love Jones restores the film to a lustrous sheen. Not that there was much needed in the way of restoration, given that this is a more recent title compared to the many other titles in their selection. Criterion’s remaster renders Love Jones with a clean and clear color scheme that at times glows wondrously with midnight blues and misty burgundies in the nightclub scenes. Scenes during the day present Chicago (the city where the movie was filmed and takes place) in bright, open light, revealing a bustling environment of workers and dreamers rushing in and out of the peripheries of these characters’ lives.
Sound, though minimal, is important for a film like this. Indeed, it is a talky film, but there are moments that are accented with the sounds of hip-hop, jazz and R&B; apropos for a cast of characters in which such music is the soundtrack of their working and personal lives. The audio is crisp and clear.
There are a host of supplements, including an audio commentary by director Witcher, as well as a few interview features with the director and cast and music scholars Mark Anthony Neal and Shana L. Redmond. Rounding out the package is an essay booklet written by Danielle Amir Jackson. Optional English subtitles are also available.
Love Jones wasn’t a box office hit when it was released back in 1997. Its rather intimate and quiet story of 20-somethings living and working in the big city was lost among the glut of action-thrillers and the dismal revival of the teen slasher. But its dramatic narrative, simple and refined, has endured as one of the most dependable and esteemed love stories entrenched in the hip-hop culture of the past 25 years. To date, it remains Witcher’s lone directorial effort.

The health secretary has written to all NHS trusts with a separate letter to the Lincolnshire trust pointing out that gagging orders must cease.
Lincolnshire has written back saying that is not what was intended, however, they are suing Gary Walker [a whistleblower] as he spoke on the radio last week. Liars!
Lincolnshire are trying to back away from a situation they are in because they have been 'caught', not because they feel that public opinion is turning towards more openness. Their corruption is absolute and every measure must be taken to root it out.

On May 19 (local time), CD Projekt Red announced that the next-generation support update for The Witcher 3, which celebrated its 7th anniversary, is planned for Q4, 22nd.
Previously, CD Project Red had announced that it would carry out a next-generation support update that would enable smooth play of The Witcher 3 on PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5, but it entrusted the support update process to an outsourced company Saber Interactive. The application schedule had been postponed indefinitely.
However, CD Project Red recently tweeted that the Witcher 3 is celebrating its 7th anniversary, with plans for next-gen support updates for its latest consoles in Q4.
Additionally, CD Project Red added that The Witcher 3 will receive a free upgrade for users who own the latest version in their respective environments.


Apple Reality Pro Headset: Eye And Hand Tracking, Full-Body FaceTime, 3D iOS And More
The highly anticipated Apple mixed reality headset is finally expected to be revealed in the coming months, and of course, the rumor mill is buzzing about it. New details about the headset, expected to be called the Apple Reality Pro, include eye and hand tracking, full-body FaceTime, and more.
Apple's Technology Development Group has spent the past seven years working on the inaugural AR/VR headset. A new report from Bloomberg says the headset is expected to cost around $3000 at launch, which is markedly higher than other competitors in the market. Many may be wondering what Apple is bringing to the table to constitute the higher price.
One of the major selling points is said to be the device's eye-and-hand-tracking capabilities. By utilizing external cameras, the headset will analyze the user's hands, with internal sensors being used to track the user's eyes. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman says this will allow the user to "control the device by looking at an on-screen item—whether it's a button, app icon or list entry—to select it." An additional feature is an ability to "pinch their thumb and index finger together to activate the task."
The Reality Pro is also said to include a Digital Crown similar to the Apple Watch that will allow the user to switch between AR and VR modes. While VR mode will completely immerse the wearer, AR mode will enable the user to be submersed in their real-world environment.
According to the report, the headset will have a battery life of about two hours. It will be around the size of two iPhone 14 Pro Maxes stacked on top of one another, or "about six inches tall and more than half an inch thick."
Apple is also said to be keeping those who wear glasses in mind. Those who wear glasses have often complained about how uncomfortable other AR/VR headsets can be to wear. In order to alleviate some of the discomforts, Apple will offer lenses that sit within the headsets enclosure.
Perhaps one of the more intriguing aspects reported is how the headset will integrate with FaceTime calls. While group calls will still use an icon or Memoji to display the people on the call, one-on-one calls where both people are wearing a Reality Pro headset will be rendered as realistic versions of their faces and bodies. This differs from how Meta renders people as a more cartoonish avatar.
Some of the other features mentioned in the report were: The AR/VR headset will be able to serve as an external display for Mac. Apps such as Safari, Photos, Mail, Messages, and more will be available on the headset. Apple has developed "its own underlying engine to power VR games." The first iteration of the Reality Pro will be made from "aluminum, glass, and cushions."
It should be noted that with the launch still months away, any of these features could change, or be removed completely. If the headset does indeed launch at close to $3,000, it will be interesting to see the final product and what it can actually do.

I have had a love affair with convertibles since my father brought home a butter colored 1964 Ford Mustang convertible as old as I was, for me to drive at 16. A surprise. Since then, I’ve purchased my own convertibles. I discovered at 16 I like the sky on my head and the songs of birds and leaves rustling as I pass.
The world on your head, invites ideas.
It invites wonder and hope.
It blows story around in interesting ways.
On this particular voting day, having voted already, I am taking a convertible ride, with the top down in November and letting a story of democracy blow over my head.
The color of this beautiful fall was a good companion, might have even saved me. This is a recent drive from outside my car. I wonder what you do to fuel the hope and creativity?

Can you replace a CPU with an older one (same socket type LGA775)
Motherboard - ASUS P5VD2-VM SE CPU - Intel E2180 Dual Core 2.00 GHz HDD - Western Digital WD Caviar SE 160Gb RAM - Kingston KVR667D2N5 1G and Samsung DLL 667 1G (sorry if this makes no sense, I dont know where to find the model no. or something...) GPU - Palit GEFORCE 8500GT Sonic PCI-E 256MB 128bit DDR3 PSU - Powerlogic ATX 500W CD Drive - Lite-On ITCorp. Model: iHAS220-08 6 (sorry if this is wrong too...)
Sorry if this thread is in the wrong category. It's my first time posting anything on the web. But enough about, that this is my problem....
The other day when I got home from a trip, I went to turn on my PC but was greeted with nothing but a black screen. Everything is getting power; Chassis fan, CPU fan, GPU fan. At first I thought it was the MoBo shorting in the case, so I removed everything and put it all on a non-conductive surface. Connected everything and double checked everything was securly fastend, powered up and it worked!!! I then proceeded to put everything back into the case and everything still worked fine, for a couple of hours at least.
Then I shut it down for the night, and when I woke up NOTHING but black screen again.... So I then did the same as last time and placed everything on a non-conductive surface, but still nothing.... Unfortunatly the motherboard I have dosen't come with a speaker on it. So rounding out the problem was very difficult. But to solve this I salvaged a speaker from an old motherboard I had. The speaker kept giving me the same beep code, One long, Two short I.E graphics card problem. So I reseated the graphics card around 15 time just to make sure. And sure enough no more beep codes, but I found this strange as there was no beep on boot......
I then searched around and found out that no beep meant a Logic Board problem (or something). So I replaced the CPU I have with an older Intel Pentium 4 SL729 3GHz (also sorry if this makes no sense). And sure enough the computer booted and the monitor was displaying!!
Here's my concern, with the older CPU installed the thing heats up like crazy and makes me think that it'll cook the motherboard (like it did the last one)? And that the other components of the computer wont be compatible with the older CPU?
Any replies on this would be greatly appreciated.
Last replyBest Answer
More aboutreplace older same socket type lga775
the sl729 (P4 630) is supported by your motherboard and should not cause any damage.. Asus maintains a decent cpu support list should you find a new processor to replace that one with.
Cheers, you wouldn't happen to have any idea why the Newer CPU bummed out??

The Idea Of You is a beautifully written, highly emotional story, which I have found completely compelling. If you are sensitive to the subject of miscarriage then you may find it a difficult read, or maybe you will find it of some comfort. I’m not really sure as this is something I have never experienced, thankfully. As a mother of two I can only imagine the devastation of losing a baby.
Lucy Carpenter is quite a complex character and one I warmed to quite quickly. She is very happily married to Jonah and has a very successful career, a loving family (despite a somewhat strained relationship with her mother), but what she wants more than anything is to have Jonah’s baby. This, however, is proving to be more difficult than she ever imagined, despite having no problem conceiving, and she feels like time is running out as she approaches forty. Following Lucy’s story has been heart-breaking. I could almost physically feel her pain as she struggled to come to terms with an unsuccessful pregnancy. The raw emotion made my heart ache for her.
When Jonah’s teenager daughter, Camille, comes to stay with them for the summer holidays Lucy tries her best to make her feel welcome and to become friends, but Camille doesn’t make it very easy for her and Lucy finds herself feeling like a bit of an outsider in her own home. Camille is also a constant reminder of what she longs for so it’s not an easy time for Lucy. Jonah is naturally quite defensive where it comes to Camille, but I can totally empathise with Lucy as I probably would feel the same in her situation. Let’s face it, men don’t always understand us and often don’t even try as some things are just easier for them to avoid.
I did get the feeling quite early on that there was more to learn regarding Lucy’s relationship with her mother and the truth came as a shock. I thought I knew what was coming, but I was wrong. It explained a lot though and my heart broke for Lucy all over again, especially considering Jonah’s reaction. I did find it a very believable reaction for a man though and I truly felt for them both and prayed that they could move on and still be happy together.
This story is an absolute roller-coaster of emotion, but ultimately uplifting and with a powerful message about family, love and cherishing all that we have in this life. I loved it and I highly recommend.
Many thanks to the author and publisher for my review copy via Netgalley.

What if the one thing you want is the only thing you can’t have?
With her fortieth birthday approaching, Lucy Carpenter thinks she finally has it all: a wonderful new husband, Jonah, a successful career and the chance of a precious baby of her own. Life couldn’t be more perfect.
But becoming parents proves much harder to achieve than Lucy and Jonah imagined, and when Jonah’s teenage daughter Camille comes to stay with them, she becomes a constant reminder of what Lucy doesn’t have. Jonah’s love and support are unquestioning, but Lucy’s struggles with work and her own failing dreams begin to take their toll. With Camille’s presence straining the bonds of Lucy’s marriage even further, Lucy suddenly feels herself close to losing everything…

You’ll need to find the Captain Bones Special Recipe if you want to finish the first new Tall Tale in Sea of Thieves and get all the new commendations.
Now you know what you’re looking for, but the trouble is in finding it.
The sad skeleton who needs his grog refilled doesn’t give you the best of pointers, likely because they don’t have a brain anymore, but never fear. Our Captain Bones Special Recipe and Powerful Thirst guide is here to help.
Sea of Thieves A Powerful Thirst commendation
The road to the Powerful Thirst commendation begins in Sailor’s Grave.
Near the tavern is a pair of chess-playing skeletons.
Light the candle on the table with your lantern. Then, speak to them to learn one of them lacks a drink and wants you to fill their tankard with Captain Bones Special Recipe.
Sea of Thieves Captain Bones Special Recipe location
Turn right and exit the ship, then look for a ramp to take you up top. Follow the broken mast, leap into the wreckage of the ship in front of you, and go underwater.
Here, the path forward turns fairly linear. Keep moving ahead until you reach a pulley.
Interact with it to reach the level above you, and ignore the cursed captain because you definitely haven’t become trapped in doing so.
Once your makeshift elevator stops, interact with the next pulley system in front of you.
This one raises a set of crates. Jump on these to reach yet another pulley system. Activate this one to move two more crate sets.
For now, ignore the platform at the other end. Jump on the first crate set, and look right.
You’ll see a candle and a small gap in the rocks. Jump through the gap, and you’ll find Captain Bones Special Recipe.
Head back to the chess players to refill the tankard and unlock the commendation, which lets you move the Tall Tale forward.
If you’re aiming to finish every quest in the new season, you’ll need to find the Dark Brethren journals and Sunken Pearl journals as well. Sunken Pearl isn’t the easiest Tall Tale to finish, but our Siren Spire puzzle guide should help see you through to the end.

to keep an old tradition going? Don't forget, it was Labour's idea in the first place, back in 2008. One question that the opposition to this have not satisfactorily answered is how to find the money necessary to ensure that Royal Mail is able to invest in the productivity and performance improvement necessary to deliver the services that 21st century life needs.
If they borrow it, they have to pay it back. Price controls rule out that option, too, so its down to more tax hikes.
Of course, the govt could have just not bothered, in which case the who thing would have come crashing down at some point


European Tour CEO Keith Pelley has issued a statement on the controversial penalty assessed on Hoatong Li at the Dubai Desert Classic, deeming it ‘grossly unfair’.
Martin Slumbers, R&A Chief Executive, has since responded to Pelley with a statement of his own. Click here to read.
European Tour CEO Keith Pelley has issued a statement following a huge amount of backlash from fellow Tour Pros over the two-shot penalty given to Haotong Li on the 72nd green.
The incident, which involved Li and his caddie Mike Burrow, saw them line up the putt and his caddie move away as he began to set-up to his golf ball. There was a short overlap, but the intention of the caddie was clearly to leave Li to it, yet the rule states a ‘caddie must not stand behind the player for any reason when a player begins taking a stance.’
He rolled in the putt to finish in a share of third place with a final round 71. Or so he thought. Instead, he was assessed a two-shot penalty on the final hole, dropping Li from 3rd to tied 12th, losing him not only a huge amount of money but world ranking points. It was deemed ‘harsh’, ‘ludicrous’ and a ‘disgrace’.
And now, Pelley says that the referees acted correctly under the strict wording of the rules but that there should be an immediate look at how discretion towards the player is handled.
At present, the rule doesn’t permit any discretion, but the outrage it has drawn from fellow tour pros over the accidental and marginal breaking of this rule by Li and his caddie has caused Pelley to call for a look at the rules.
‘There has been much discussion and comment over the past 24 hours on the two-shot penalty given to Li Haotong for his breach of Rule 10.2b (4) on the 18th green of the Omega Dubai Desert Classic,” the statement from Pelley said.
‘Let me state initially that, under the new Rules of Golf issued on January 1, 2019, the decision made by our referees was correct, under the strict wording of the rules. It is my strong belief, however, that the fact there is no discretion available to our referees when implementing rulings such as this is wrong and should be addressed immediately.
‘Everyone I have spoken to about this believes, as I do, that there was no malice or intent from Li Haotong, nor did he gain any advantage from his, or his caddie’s split-second actions. Therefore the subsequent two shot penalty, which moved him from T3 in the tournament to T12, was grossly unfair in my opinion.
‘In an era where we are striving to improve all aspects of golf, we need to be careful and find the proper balance between maintaining the integrity of the game and promoting its global appeal.
‘I have spoken personally to R&A Chief Executive Martin Slumbers to voice my opposition to the fact there is no discretion available to our referees in relation to this ruling, and I will be making additional representation to the R&A in the near future to discuss the matter further.’
The Rule Explained:
10.2b(4) – Restriction on caddie standing behind player – explanation
Li Haotong’s caddie was on a direct line behind the ball when he began to take his stance on the 18th green. The player’s caddie must not stand behind the player for any reason when a player begins taking a stance. Haotong could have avoided the penalty if he had backed off the stroke and retaken his stance. He did not, hence a two-stroke penalty applied to his score on 18.

Efficient handling and transport of fine-particle powders can be difficult because of the highly cohesive nature of the bulk
powder mass. It is well reported in the literature that the application of nanosized guest dry powder coatings, such as silicon
dioxide, onto the surfaces of these cohesive host particles can effectively reduce the attractive forces between them (1–5).
The fine nanoparticles increase the spacing between the host particles and increase the apparent surface roughness, which
decreases the host particle cohesive van der Waals attractions (5, 6). After dry powder coating, the bulk powder exhibits
increased bulk density, improved powder flow performance, and easy fluidization behavior, all of which can significantly improve
manufacturing performance (1–5). This result is of significant benefit to pharmaceutical powder processing because the easy
transport of large bulk quantities of powder through unit operations is necessary to manufacture solid dosage forms such as
capsules and tablets.
It was recently demonstrated that conventional pharmaceutical processing equipment, namely a comil, can effectively apply
dry powder coatings of silicon dioxide onto active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and excipients without causing attrition
of the host's primary particles (1). This discovery is important because comils can be operated in a continuous manufacturing
process and are commonly available at pharmaceutical product manufacturing sites. Although the comil is a simple, effective,
and scalable unit operation for applying dry powder coatings, the systematic study of the process operational design space,
such as screen size and impeller speed, may be required to optimize the coating performance. This iterative method may not
be possible in early drug product development because of the limited available quantities of API (often less than 50 g) and
the potential for improved performance after dry powder coating may be overlooked, especially as API synthesis, isolation,
and sizing processes change often. Therefore, alternative (or complementary) methods for applying dry powder coatings would
be desirable during early product development.
A laboratory scale resonant acoustic mixer (LabRAM) similar to the one shown in Figure 1 was evaluated as a potential tool
for dry powder coating (7, 8). The LabRAM is a sophisticated bench-top mixer that exploits low frequency, high intensity,
acoustic energy to rapidly fluidize and disperse as much as 500 g of a variety of materials. The RAM uses acoustic energy
to mix the desired media through an oscillating mechanical driver that accelerates the mixing vessel by as much as 100 times
the acceleration of gravity. The propagation of mechanical energy through a system of plates, weights, and springs creates
an acoustic pressure wave in the mixing vessel. The frequency of the driver is optimized by the control system so that the
system operates at resonance. By operating at resonance, the acoustic energy is absorbed by the media. The efficient mixing
is accomplished by creating a homogenous shear zone throughout the mixing vessel without imparting excess energy and without
the aid of mixing media or impellers. This approach seems promising because the RAM can mix at high acceleration and amplitude
and therefore induce significant shear strain within the bulk powder in a short time. Related work by Davé and coworkers has
demonstrated that when high degrees of shear are induced (e.g., by impact coaters) to disperse fine particles, the particles
preferentially adhere to the surface of larger host particles after processing (2, 3, 5).
Figure 1: Laboratory-scale resonant acoustic mixer (LabRAM), including the vacuum–deaeration unit (left), mixing unit (center),
and control unit (right). (FIGURE 1 IS COURTESY OF RESODYN CORPORATION)
In this study, the RAM was evaluated as a tool for applying various dry powder coatings, such as silicon dioxide, to pharmaceutical
excipients and APIs. The effect of these coatings on powder bulk density, particle size, and shear cell flow performance were
used as indicators of performance enhancement, and the results were compared to those of dry powder coating using a comil.

Jeggings are a back-to-school essential, Goldman Sachs says
Jeggings are the must-have item this back-to-school season. Goldman Sachs says so!
New York Magazine reports that Goldman Sachs released an official back-to-school trend report last week and that jeggings made the list. In fact, it cited the trendy leggings as a strong seller.
Jeggings have already been a big hit with celebrities and are beginning to make the rounds on campuses nationwide. The jean leggings have become so popular that retailers like Gap and Ralph Lauren have begun making them in children sizes.
Also making the list are military styles and prints and plaids that were popular last year, Business Insider reports.

Post general kiteboarding discussion topics here!
I have been flying a 9 and 7m 90% of the time on the coast. I have a 12m, but that hasn't seen the light of day in over a year.
I'm thinking of swapping the 12m for a 5m for the 34mph+ days, but I like the idea of only having 2 kites.
Anyone getting away with just having a 9 and 6m kites and having that covering all your needs on the coast, or do you find 3 kites in the 10-5 meter range necessary?
Rocked my 12m at OB last Wednesday night... been a long time since I had that pig in the surf. IT's not a good kite for surf sessions at all (its an RPM). If I were buying new kites for the surf I would also get the 6/8/10 possibly a 6/9/11 or "10.5". Some of the new kites are super powerful compared to the older stuff. I fell like every year the kites size down. My buddy calls his 10.5 Obsession a pig, which is odd cause my 10m RPM is magical in the right conditions. I've considered picking up a surf dedicated kite like a 9M Rally or 8M Religion. I need a 12M for the bay though. There are a few local places that I need a big kite to get my session on. Twintips in the bay and surfboards in the surf...
2010 UG FLX

I know some kiters try to save money by having 1 kite or 2 kite quiver but I don't think it's worth it, especially if you kite bay, Sherman, and the coast. I always find it funny that people risk getting fired and divorced for kiting and they try to save thousand dollar. Worst yet, they don't have fun because they are not riding the right size kite or sit on the beach because they don't have the right size.
6,8,11 here. It is hard to make a 2 kite quiver work well. If your 9 with a skimboard will get you out in as light a wind as you care to go I say 5,7,9 will work. Small kites rule
It is obvious that we can no more explain a passion to a person who has never experienced it than we can explain light to the blind. T.S.Eliot
I've really found having the right size kite makes my session more fun, particularly in the surf. If you're overpowered and/or you have the kite too depowered, the kite doesn't turn quickly and you end up missing and/or flailing on the wave instead of carving and having fun.
6, 8, 10, 14 Rallys. Skip the 12. The 14 is an optional "session saver"; you'll use the 6 on the coast more than you think - at least I have over the past couple of springs. The 2013 10m Rally has a good bit more grunt than the older Rallys, so it handles lighter conditions better than previous years.
That's my 2 cents...
If your chubby like me, you need a 12m. My mama said chubby people cant smile, but i can, see

SPOKANE, Wash. - Baseball fans were in for more than just peanuts and Cracker Jacks at Friday’s Spokane Indians game as a tornado was spotted near the field.
Brian Stern and his sons were in a covered area when they noticed a funnel coming out of the sky.
"Lightning started, and [I] noticed the circulation in the clouds," Stern said. "My boys noticed it as well."
"It was a pretty surreal moment," he said.
The National Weather Service in Spokane said that the tornado touched down near I-90. They received reports of trees down and two trailers flipped.
"Tornadoes are not something you usually associate with Spokane," Stern said.
And he’s right.
"On average, the state of Washington will see one to two tornadoes per year," NWS Spokane says.
Friday's tornado was the first in Spokane County since August 9, 2016. Since 1950, there have only been 13 reported tornados, most of them registering as EF0.
Stern and his boys say that while there was a rain delay for the field, he was disappointed that there wasn’t a warning for tornadoes.
"There was no announcement, no alerts on phones, etc," Stern said. "That part was rather unsettling."
The NWS issued a Special Weather Statement for strong thunderstorms in the area, but Stern says the field made no mention.
"Would have been nice to have a couple of minutes warning," he said. "Now I understand why a few minutes makes a difference."
The National Weather Service said the tornado was confirmed on radar, but it showed a weak rotation and didn't issue a warning because the signature on radar was so brief.
His kids were pretty shaken up after seeing the funnel, but Stern used it as a learning moment.
"It was a good teaching point. How to maintain your cool and collective in a chaotic situation," Stern says. "Gotta get those leadership traits going and how to be safe."
Photos from Spokane Valley Fire Department show downed trees and flipped over mobile homes and vehicles. Thunderstorms and heavy wind swept through the area as well during Friday's weather event.
Deputy Fire Chief Greg Rogers says no one was injured. The exact weather cause is still being determined.

The role of chronic inflammation, acting as an independent factor, on the onset of gastrointestinal carcinogenesis is now well accepted. However, even if there is an increase in the number of elements directly involving polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNL), as a major actor in digestive carcinogenesis, the different cellular and molecular events occurring in this process are still not completely understood. The transepithelial migration of PMNL, which is the ultimate step of the afflux of PMNL into the digestive mucosa, is a complex phenomenon involving sequential interaction of molecules expressed both on PMNL and on digestive epithelial cells. Chronic inflammatory areas rich in PMNL [so-called (chronic active inflammation)] and iterative transepithelial migration of PMNL certainly evoke intracellular signals, which lead toward progressive transformation of epithelia. Among these different signals, the mutagenic effect of reactive oxygen species and nitrates, the activation of the nuclear factor-κB pathway, and the modulation of expression of certain microRNA are key actors. Following the initiation of carcinogenesis, PMNL are involved in the progression and invasion of digestive carcinomas, with which they interact. It is noteworthy that different subpopulations of PMNL, which can have some opposite effects on tumor growth, in association with different levels of transforming growth factor-β and with the number of CD8 positive T lymphocytes, could be present during the development of digestive carcinoma. Other factors that involve PMNL, such as massive elastase release, and the production of angiogenic factors, can participate in the progression of neoplastic cells through tissues. PMNL may play a major role in the onset of metastases, since they allow the tumor cells to cross the endothelial barrier and to migrate into the blood stream. Finally, PMNL play a role, alone or in association with other cell parameters, in the initiation, promotion, progression and dissemination of digestive carcinomas. This review focuses on the main currently accepted cellular and molecular mechanisms that involve PMNL as key actors in digestive carcinogenesis.

That is how it was for the Viewmont Vikings and Woods Cross Wildcats on Tuesday night. The Wildcats won 57-48 in the battle between these south Davis County rivals.
Each team had its share of big runs, but ultimately the Wildcats were able to come out on top.
Woods Cross, particularly Brady Cowley, came out on fire. Cowley nailed three 3-pointers to give the Wildcats a 9-0 lead early in the game.
But the experienced Vikings maintained their composure. Brody Bagshaw scored off a missed shot and then hit a 3-pointer moments later, tying the score at 10.
In the second quarter, it was the Vikings turn to go on a run. With the game tied at 18, Haden Heath and Jarom Tye scored seven unanswered points to give the Vikings a 25-18 lead. By halftime, they had increased their lead to 33-23.
“We got a little lethargic in the second quarter,” said Woods Cross coach Todd Street. “We couldn’t seem to make a shot and they were making their (shots).”
Despite the 10 point deficit, the Wildcats refused to quit. As they had done at the beginning of the game, they found a way to make a run coming out of halftime.
Sean Barton got things started with a reverse lay up. Filipo Mokofisi followed that up with a bucket of his own. Mike Jacobson took a turn next, scoring seven straight points, followed by Skyler Farnes hitting a 3-pointer.
When Barton converted a layup, the Wildcats had turned a 33-23 deficit into a 39-33 lead.
“I challenged the guys at halftime,” said Street. “I wanted them to win this game for our fans on our home court.”
From there, it was a back and forth battle. Going into the fourth quarter, the Wildcats had extended the lead to eight points at 47-39.
Viewmont was not ready to roll over and die just yet. Tanner Gamble and McKay Richins each scored a quick bucket, followed by Bagshaw converting on one of two free throws, and the Vikings had some life and momentum, trailing 47-44.
Mokofisi answered for the Wildcats by scoring four straight points.
The play of the game happened a few minutes later. Trailing by five, a Viewmont player took a shot from beyond the arc, only to have it blocked by Mokofisi. This started a fast break for the Wildcats, ending with Skyler Farnes bringing the house down by making a lay up to finish.
From that point on, the Wildcats remained in control.
“We battled the entire game,” said Street. “We did what we needed to do at critical times.”
Cowley led a balanced Wildcat attack with 16 points. Farnes chipped in 11 while Mokofisi had nine points and Jacobson had eight points in the win.
Heath led Viewmont with 12 points. Gamble threw in 10 points and Bagshaw added eight in the loss.
With the win, the Wildcats improve to 3-2 on the season. They now begin a four game stretch of road games. They head down to Taylorsville Friday night to take on the 0-4 Warriors, who have been blown out in each game they have played.
The Vikings drop to 1-4 and will look to rebound tomorrow night when they head north to take on former Region 1 foe Clearfield. The Falcons have also struggled this year, as they currently sit at 1-5.

Have I told you lately how much I love my fabulous gallery, Bluerock? They are the absolute best. Not only do they carry an amazing roster of Alberta artists, the owner and staff are genuinely great people. Over the past few months they have been nothing but encouraging and supportive as I've recovered from surgery. Not only do they care about beauty and art, they care about people. (Thanks, Bluerock!)
Recently, they invited me to come and share some of the things I've been working on with my printing presses! I'm all for having a deadline, so this has been spurring me on for the past little while to get a few projects realized and make some neat new things!
On June 23rd and 24th, I'll be bringing my Kelsey table top platen press, some type and linoleum blocks with me to Black Diamond and setting up in the gallery. I'll be on hand to demonstrate how letterpresses work, answer questions and share more about all the letterpress resources available in the Calgary region. I'll also have all those things I've been working on recently available for sale too!
If you'd like more information, you can find it here.
You can also just show up on June 23rd or 24th! ,It makes an excellent day trip to take in the scenery as well as the beautifully curated Bluerock collection. This is a fabulous gallery - I'd love to see you and talk shop!

When it comes to cooking with cannabis, there are a few important points to keep in mind. First and foremost, it’s crucial to understand that proper dosage is key. The potency of your infused dishes can vary greatly depending on factors like strain type, preparation method, and personal tolerance levels. It’s always best to start low and go slow when experimenting with recipes. Additionally, decarboxylation is an essential step that activates the psychoactive compounds in cannabis. By heating raw cannabis at a specific temperature for a certain period of time, you can unlock its full potential for culinary use.
Now that we’ve covered some basic considerations let’s dive into the fun part – recipe ideas! From classic pot brownies and savory pasta dishes to refreshing beverages and gourmet desserts – there are endless possibilities when it comes to incorporating cannabis into your kitchen creations. Whether you’re looking for sweet or savory options, we’ll share easy-to-follow recipes that will impress even the most discerning taste buds.
So grab your apron and get ready to elevate your cooking game as we explore all things related to cooking with cannabis – from helpful tips for success in the kitchen all the way through delicious recipe inspiration guaranteed to take your meals from ordinary to extraordinary!
The Basics of Cooking with Cannabis
Cooking with cannabis can be an exciting and creative way to enjoy the benefits of this versatile plant. However, it’s important to understand the basics before you get started. Here are some essential tips and recipe ideas to help you on your culinary journey:
- Decarboxylation: Before using cannabis in cooking, it needs to go through a process called decarboxylation. This involves heating the cannabis at a low temperature for a specific time period to activate its psychoactive compounds, such as THC. To decarboxylate your cannabis, preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C), spread the ground buds on a baking sheet, and bake for about 40 minutes.
- Choosing the Right Strain: Different strains of cannabis have varying levels of cannabinoids (like THC or CBD) and terpenes that contribute to their unique flavors and effects. When cooking with cannabis, consider choosing strains that complement the flavors of your dish or desired effects.
- Infusing Butter or Oil: One popular method is infusing butter or oil with activated cannabis for use in various recipes like brownies, cookies, pasta sauces, and more. Melt butter or heat oil over low heat; add decarboxylated cannabis; stir occasionally for around 2-4 hours while maintaining a low temperature; strain out plant material using cheesecloth or fine mesh strainer.
- Dosage Control: Start with small amounts of infused dishes until you understand how they affect you personally since edibles can have stronger effects than smoking/vaping marijuana due to metabolism differences between individuals.
- Recipe Ideas:
- Classic Pot Brownies: Infuse melted butter into brownie mix according to package instructions.
- Cannabis-Infused Olive Oil: Combine decarboxylated flower buds with olive oil in a mason jar; let it sit in a cool, dark place for 4-6 weeks; strain out the plant material.
- Cannabis-Infused Smoothies: Blend fresh or frozen fruits, yogurt, milk (or milk alternative), and cannabis-infused oil together for a refreshing treat.
Remember to label any infused dishes clearly and keep them away from children and pets. Enjoy cooking with cannabis responsibly and experiment with different recipes to find your favorite combinations!
Choosing the Right Strain for Your Recipes
When it comes to cooking with cannabis, selecting the right strain is crucial in achieving the desired flavor and effect. Here are some tips to help you choose the perfect strain for your recipes:
- Consider the Flavor Profile: Different strains have distinct flavors that can enhance or complement your dishes. For example, citrusy strains like Lemon Haze might work well in desserts or salad dressings, while earthy strains like OG Kush could be a good fit for savory dishes like soups or stews.
- Determine Desired Effects: Cannabis strains can produce various effects such as relaxation, creativity, or focus. Consider what kind of experience you want your recipe to deliver and choose a strain accordingly. Sativa-dominant strains tend to provide an uplifting and energizing effect suitable for daytime use, while indica-dominant ones offer more relaxing and sedating properties better suited for evening meals.
- THC vs CBD Content: The levels of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) present in different strains vary significantly. THC is responsible for producing psychoactive effects, whereas CBD offers potential therapeutic benefits without causing intoxication. Decide whether you want a high-THC strain that delivers a stronger buzz or one with balanced THC-to-CBD ratios for a milder experience.
- Consider Terpenes: Terpenes are aromatic compounds found in cannabis that contribute to its unique smell and taste profile. They also interact with cannabinoids to influence their effects on our bodies/minds [^1]. Some common terpenes include myrcene (earthy), limonene (citrus), pinene (pine), and linalool (floral). Understanding terpene profiles can help you select strains that align with specific flavor preferences.
- Experimentation is Key: Everyone’s palate is different, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different strains and recipes. Start with small amounts when infusing cannabis into your dishes until you find the right balance of flavor and potency that suits your taste.
Remember, cooking with cannabis should always prioritize responsible consumption. It’s essential to understand the potency of the strain you choose and how it may affect individuals differently. By considering these factors, you can select the perfect strain to elevate your culinary creations without compromising on taste or experience.
Decarboxylation: Unlocking the Potential of THC
Decarboxylation is a crucial step in cooking with cannabis as it activates and unlocks the full potential of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol), the psychoactive compound found in marijuana. By applying heat to raw cannabis, you can transform THCA (tetrahydrocannabinolic acid) into THC, making it more potent and effective for consumption. Here are some important tips and methods for decarboxylating your cannabis:
- Heat is Key: Decarboxylation requires heat to convert THCA into THC. Without this process, consuming raw cannabis would not produce any intoxicating effects.
- Temperature Matters: The optimal temperature range for decarboxylation lies between 220°F (104°C) and 240°F (116°C). Temperatures above this range may risk degrading cannabinoids, while temperatures below may not fully activate them.
- Grind Before Heating: To ensure even heating and maximize surface area exposure, finely grind your dried cannabis buds using a grinder or food processor before starting the decarboxylation process.
- Baking Sheet Method: Spread your ground cannabis evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Preheat your oven to around 230°F (110°C) and bake the cannabis for approximately 45-60 minutes until it turns golden brown.
- Mason Jar Method: Place your ground cannabis in an oven-safe mason jar with a lid that seals tightly. Preheat your oven to around 230°F (110°C) and place the sealed jar inside for about an hour until you observe slight condensation forming on the glass walls.
- Slow Cooker Infusion: Another method involves infusing oil or butter with decarbed cannabis using a slow cooker set at low heat (~200°F or ~93°C). This method allows you to directly incorporate the decarbed cannabis into your recipes.
Remember, proper decarboxylation is essential for achieving desired effects when cooking with cannabis. Once you have activated the THC in your cannabis, it can be used in various recipes like cannabutter, oils, tinctures, and more. Experimenting with different strains and dosage levels will help you find the perfect balance for your culinary creations.
Infusing Cannabis into Oils and Butters
When it comes to cooking with cannabis, infusing oils and butters is a popular method that allows you to incorporate the benefits of cannabis into your favorite recipes. Whether you are looking to make homemade edibles or add a special twist to your dishes, infusing cannabis into oils and butters can elevate your culinary experience. Here are some tips and recipe ideas to get you started:
- Choose the Right Strain: Different strains of cannabis have different flavors and effects, so it’s important to choose one that complements the dish you’re making. For example, if you’re aiming for a relaxing evening treat, an indica-dominant strain might be ideal.
- Decarboxylation: Before infusing cannabis into oils or butters, it needs to go through decarboxylation. This process involves heating the plant material at a low temperature in order to activate its psychoactive compounds (THC). To decarboxylate your cannabis, preheat your oven to 240°F (115°C), spread out the buds on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake them for about 40 minutes.
- Infusion Methods: There are several methods for infusing cannabis into oils and butters:
- Stovetop Method: Heat oil or butter in a saucepan over low heat; add decarboxylated ground cannabis; stir regularly for around 2-3 hours while maintaining a gentle simmer.

- Double Boiler Method: Fill the bottom part of a double boiler halfway with water; place top part over it; add oil/butter infused mixture along with decarboxylated cannabis; simmer for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally.
- Straining and Storage: After the infusion process is complete, strain the oil or butter to remove any plant material. You can use a cheesecloth or fine-mesh strainer for this purpose. Once strained, store the infused oil or butter in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and potency.
- Recipe Ideas: Now that you have your cannabis-infused oils or butters ready, it’s time to get creative with your culinary endeavors! Here are some recipe ideas:
- Cannabis-infused olive oil: Perfect for drizzling over salads or using as a dip.
- Cannabis-infused coconut oil: Great for baking cookies, brownies, or incorporating into smoothies.
