Effusive volcanic eruptions, such as those observed in Hawaii, are the primary mechanism for emplacing magma at the surface of terrestrial planets and moons to create new land. Lava flows and domes hold key information about planetary evolution. On Earth, the products of effusive eruptions - lava flows and domes - present a serious natural hazard to nearby populations. Thus, understanding what controls lava emplacement is crucial to mitigation of those hazards not only for humans but also to livestock and crops. This CAREER project aims to improve scientific understanding of effusive volcanic eruptions, that is, eruptions that produce lava flows and domes. Specifically, the project examines and quantifies the influence of temporal in lava effusion, and spatial variations in the environment onto which the lava is emplaced, on flow emplacement and stability. The project uses a combination of new numerical models and fluid mechanics experiments. The project team includes an early-career female principal investigator, a graduate student, and high-school students and teachers from underrepresented groups in the geosciences.
Field data from recent eruptions, made possible by advances in observations techniques, have challenged existing models of lava emplacement. Observations suggest an important influence of temporal variations in lava effusion and of spatial variations in pre-existing environment on the evolution and final structure of lava flows and the stability of domes. The main tools this project will employ are numerical models and fluid mechanics experiments using liquids analogous to natural lavas. The numerical models will be designed to accommodate temporal and spatial variability in lava emplacement. The codes will be open-source and benchmarked, so that others in the community can use them further. Fluid mechanics experiments will use both analog materials such as syrup and wax, and molten natural basalts. Careful rheological analysis will accompany the experiments and be used to inform the numerical models, and scaling analysis will ensure transferability of the results to natural systems. The results of this project are likely to improve the assessment and mitigation of volcanic hazards through and enhanced understanding of the processes that control lava emplacement. The public appeal of volcanology will be harnessed to promote Earth Science literacy, scientific careers and college preparedness for high-school students, particularly at underserved and underrepresented communities. This project involves an international collaboration with scientists in Europe and strengthens collaboration between university scientists and the United States Geological Survey (USGS).

For a while it seemed like Nokia’s best days are already behind: the smartphone market pushed regular phones with buttons out of the spotlight, and although Nokia had its own Windows-based lineup of smartphones, its sales were far from outstanding. In mid-December of 2016 the company made an announcement featuring two latest Nokia phones in the familiar plastic body, the Nokia 150 and Nokia 150 Dual SIM. Find out everything about the two models!
New home for Nokia
After things haven’t been so great for Nokia phones in the past few years, the company has found a new owner: Nokia was acquired by HMD Global, a Finnish company with a focus on mobile technology. HMD is currently planning Nokia’s comeback to the smartphone market with several flagship devices. The Nokia 150 was designed and produced by HMD as well, which is why the new model is especially interesting.
Nokia 150 specs
If you’ve ever owned a Nokia phone with a numeric keypad, you already know what to expect of the new model. The Nokia 150 features a 2,4-inch display with a 320×240 resolution, which have been the standard parameters for many Nokia phones back in the day. The connectivity characteristics include a micro-USB slot, a 3,5-mm headphone jack, and Bluetooth. The battery life supports up to 31 days on standby and up to 22 of talks.
On the back of the device you will find a flash-equipped VGA camera. The memory in Nokia 150 can be enhanced by a microSD card with up to 32GB of storage. As for the entertainment features, the phone has an FM radio and several apps, which include two games, Nitro Racing and the widely admired Snake, back by popular demand.
Should you buy Nokia 150?
The new Nokia phone is planned for wide release in early 2017 and will be sold all around Africa, Europe, and Asia. The announced price of the device is just $26, which can make the phone a new bestseller for Nokia. If you’ve never understood the hype around smartphones and want a simple device with respectable battery life, the one for making calls and sending text messages, the Nokia 150 can be your best choice. It’s also an ideal phone for people who are feeling nostalgic about the classic Nokia models. However, if you prefer your phones to have a lot of functionality, a numeric keyboard Nokia 150 is probably not exactly what you’re looking for.

- Rosen Bridge is creating a gateway between Cardano and Ergo protocol.
- The bridge is focused on ensuring security, a key need to prevent hacks.
Web3.0 startup, Rosen Bridge is finalizing the release of a bridge on the Cardano (ADA) blockchain where users can swap their native assets between Ergo and Cardano. Precisely, the bridge is aimed at facilitating accessibility to both blockchains and according to a tweet by Ergo, it also has the potential to open Ergo to new and existing Decentralized Finance (DeFi) markets more broadly.
Notably, the Rosen Bridge is an Ergo-centric bridge that permits the transfer of coins and tokens between Ergo and other blockchains. Unlike many other protocols, the Rosen Bridge is more focused on upscaling security than increasing transaction speed. Once the consensus on any action is performed on Ergo, there is no need to deploy and utilize smart contracts on the other chains.
This is very useful as it mitigates the attack vector of the bridge because there would be no need to worry about the security integrity of the other blockchains.
This singular capacity of eliminating the need for interaction between smart contracts on different chains is a unique innovation that distinguishes Rosen Bridge from its counterparts. As a bridge that prioritizes robust security, Rosen Bridge has two layers of security in the form of watchers and guards. This makes it a 2nd layer authentication bridge that is capable of keeping the DeFi ecosystem safe from hacks and exploits.
Watchers are found in the first layer where their activities are centered around monitoring and reporting activities on the network. Their core functions are to monitor the chain, approve/verify an event, report the event, and attempt to reach a consensus on this verified event.
>> Buy Cardano (ADA) quickly and securely with PayPal, credit card or bank transfer at eToro. Visit Website <<
Once it reaches a consensus on an event, the second layer is notified and from there, the guards take over. Guards are more focused on conducting verification of an event or activity. Immediately after the guards confirm the approved event, they create/sign the required transaction for Ergo or chainX.
DeFi Bridges Suffering Multiple Attacks
With DeFi bridges prone to attacks, these multiple layers of security are enabled to protect users against potential attacks or hacks. Noteworthy, Rosen Bridge supports any blockchain that supports multi-signature or threshold signatures. Providing robust security is of utmost importance, especially when dealing with financial assets. Over the years, bridges have been plagued with hacks and exploits and the criminals behind the attacks siphon users’ funds in millions.
More than a year ago, Axie Infinity suffered an attack on its Ronin bridge which led to the loss of over $600 million. The attacker gained control of Sky Mavis’s four Ronin Validators and a third-party validator run by Axie DAO. With five validators under the attacker’s control, the network’s security powers were entirely compromised and the funds were stolen.
Similarly, Harmony’s Horizon Bridge was attacked and $100 million in altcoins was transferred from the protocol. Most of the stolen tokens were Wrapped BTC (WBTC), USD Coin (USDC), Tether (USDT), Dai (DAI), Aave (AAVE), Sushi (SUSHI), Binance USD (BUSD), Frax (FRAX), Frax Share (FXS), and AAG (AAG).
Best Crypto Exchange for Everyone:
- Invest in Cardano and 70+ cryptocurrencies and 3,000 other assets.
- 0% commission on stocks – buy in bulk or just a fraction from as little as $10.

The traction control system is a crucial safety feature in modern vehicles. It helps to keep the wheels from slipping on slick or uneven surfaces. However, if the traction control light stays on, it could indicate a severe problem.
If the traction control light stays on, the system has likely malfunctioned. Additionally, low brake fluid, problems with the anti-lock braking system, and damaged sensors can cause this light to stay on. To fix the problem, top off the brake fluid, check the ABS, and replace any damaged sensors.
If you’ve ever been driving and seen your traction control light come on, you might be wondering what to do about it. This blog post will describe a few things that may cause the light to turn on and how to fix them. Keep reading for more information and tips for troubleshooting your traction control light.
Why Your Traction Control System Is On?
It can be pretty alarming if you’re driving along and see the traction control light come on. After all, traction control is there to help keep your car from skidding or sliding, so you definitely don’t want it to fail.
Before you panic, it’s important to remember that there are a few different reasons why the traction control light might come on, and knowing them is the first step to getting the problem fixed.
Here are a few potential causes of the traction control light coming on:
Something Is Wrong With the Traction Control System
One common reason that may cause the traction control light to stay on is if there’s something wrong with the system itself. This could be a problem with the sensors or the software that controls the system.
Another possibility is that one of the parts of the system, such as the wheel speed sensor, is not working correctly. If this is the case, then the traction control system will not be able to do its job perfectly.
Some of the typical causes of traction control system failure include:
- A problem with the software that controls the system.
- A problem with the sensors that send information to the system.
- A problem with the actuator that applies pressure to the brakes.
Pro Tip: If you need a handy tool to help you figure out what might be wrong with your traction control system, consider investing in an OBD2 scanner. In this case, I recommend the LAUNCH CRP129E OBD2 Scanner from Amazon.com. It comes with many features, including the ability to read and clear error codes, and it’s very user-friendly. Besides, it’s compatible with over 10,000 cars, making it a great choice for most car owners.
The Brake Fluid Is Low
Another common reason that the traction control light may stay on is if the brake fluid is low. This is because the system needs brake fluid to function correctly. If there’s not enough brake fluid, then the system will not be able to apply the brakes correctly.
Besides, if the brake fluid is low, it could also indicate a leak in the system. This is something you’ll want to get fixed as soon as possible, as a brake fluid leak can be dangerous.
There’s a Problem With the Anti-Lock Braking System (ABS)
If there’s a problem with the anti-lock braking system, it could also cause the traction control light to stay on. The two systems share some components, such as sensors and actuators.
So, if there’s a problem with the ABS, it’s likely that the traction control system will be affected.
Some of the most common problems with the ABS include:
- A problem with the sensors
- A problem with the electronic control unit (ECU)
- A problem with the actuator
Your Wheel Speed Sensors Are Broken
Another potential cause of the traction control light staying on is if your wheel speed sensors are broken. The wheel speed sensors are responsible for sending information to the traction control system about the speed of the wheels.
If the sensors are not working correctly, then the system will not be able to function properly. This could lead to the light staying on and other problems such as the car not being able to stop as it should.
Your Steering Angle Sensor Is Damaged
If your steering angle sensor is damaged, it could also cause the traction control light to stay on. The steering angle sensor is responsible for sending information to the system about the angle of the wheels.
If the sensor is not working correctly, the system will not be able to tell how the wheels are angled and whether or not they are slipping. This can cause the light to stay on or come on intermittently.
The following video describes the symptoms of a failing steering angle sensor:
The Steering Rack Is Damaged
Furthermore, if the steering rack is damaged, that could be the potential cause of the traction control light staying on. The steering rack is responsible for turning the wheels when you turn the steering wheel.
If the rack is damaged, it can cause the wheels to slip, which will trigger the traction control system. As a result, the traction control light will stay on until you fix the problem.
The Road Condition Is Poor
Finally, another possible reason that the traction control light may stay on is if the road conditions are poor. This is because the system is designed to help you keep control of the car in slippery or icy conditions.
If the roads are terrible, the system may be triggered more often, which can cause the light to stay on.
Easy Fixes for Traction Control Light Staying On
It is never a fun experience when your car’s traction control light comes on. As I’ve pointed out above, this usually means something is wrong with your vehicle that needs to be fixed.
Here are a few practical tips that may help you fix the problem and get the light to turn off:
1. Check the Brake Fluid Level
The first thing you should do if the traction control light stays on is to check the brake fluid level. As I mentioned above, this is one of the most common reasons for the light to stay on.
To check the brake fluid level, follow these steps:
- Open the hood and locate the brake fluid reservoir. The reservoir is usually found near the firewall on the driver’s side of the engine compartment.
- Once you’ve found it, check if the level is above the minimum line. If it’s not, you’ll need to add more brake fluid. If the level is satisfactory, you can move on to the next potential fix.
Here’s an in-depth tutorial on how to check your vehicle’s brake fluid:
2. Check the Anti-Lock Braking System
If you suspect a problem with the anti-lock braking system, then you should take your car to a mechanic and have it checked out. Unless you’re a qualified mechanic, this is not something to fix on your own.
If the mechanic finds a problem with the system, they will be able to fix it and hopefully turn off the traction control light.
3. Clean or Replace the Traction Control Sensor
If your traction control sensor is dirty, you should clean it as soon as possible. A dirty sensor can cause all sorts of problems, including the light staying on.
To clean the sensor, follow these steps:
- First, locate the sensor. It is usually located on the steering wheel column or near the firewall on the driver’s side.
- Once you’ve found it, use a clean cloth to wipe away any dirt, debris, or grime that may be on it. Be careful but thorough in your cleaning.
- If the sensor is filthy, you may need to replace it entirely. This is something you should take to a mechanic.
4. Replace the Wheel Speed Sensors
If your wheel speed sensors are damaged, it’s time to replace them. Otherwise, they will continue to cause problems, including the traction control light staying on.
For the best results, take your car to a mechanic and have them replace the sensors. They will be able to properly diagnose the problem and find suitable replacement sensors for your vehicle.
5. Fix the Steering Angle Sensor
If your steering angle sensor is damaged, it needs to be fixed as soon as possible. As I mentioned above, this sensor is responsible for sending information to the traction control system; hence, if it’s not working correctly, the system won’t work correctly either.
To fix the sensor, you’ll need to take your car to a mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem and make the necessary repairs.
6. Replace the Steering Rack
If your steering rack is damaged, it needs to be replaced. Otherwise, you risk further damage to your car, and the light will continue to stay on.
For the best results, take your car to a mechanic and have them replace the steering rack. They will be able to properly diagnose the problem and find the correct replacement part for your vehicle.
7. Drive in Better Road Conditions
If the road conditions are poor, it can cause the traction control light to stay on. This is because the system is designed to work best in ideal conditions.
So, if you’re driving in snow, ice, or mud, it’s not uncommon for the light to come on. The best thing you can do is to drive in better road conditions. This may not always be possible, but it’s something to consider.
8. Call the Manufacturer or Dealer
If you suspect your car has a manufacturing defect, call the manufacturer or dealer. They may be able to help you fix the problem or offer a recall for your vehicle.
Remember that this is not always an option, but it’s something to consider if you’re at your wit’s end.
If the traction control light in your car is staying on, it’s crucial to take action as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more damage you could do to your vehicle. But don’t worry, there are a few things you can do to fix the problem.
Remember, the most important thing is to take action as soon as possible. If you can’t fix the problem yourself, take your car to a mechanic. They will be able to diagnose the problem and make the necessary repairs.

New invasive pest identified in South Carolina wheat field
FLORENCE — A rare, invasive aphid has been found attacking wheat crops in Hampton County.
This is the first documented case of the Sipha maydis aphid in South Carolina, said Francis Reay-Jones, an entomologist at the Clemson University Pee Dee Research and Education Center in Florence.
More commonly found in Europe, Asia and parts of Africa, the Sipha maydis aphid has been moving eastward since its first U.S. sighting in California in 2007. The invasive pest was found in a Georgia greenhouse in 2012 and in an Alabama wheat field last year.
In South Carolina, the aphid was spotted by Clemson University Extension agent Andrew Warner on both rye cover crops and wheat, though they were more abundant on the wheat, Reay-Jones said. A taxonomist confirmed Warner’s discovery.
“The insect has been reported to feed on a range of grass hosts, including wheat, oats, barley, johnsongrass, sorghum and corn,” he said. “The insect is of particular concern in small grain crops as it can transmit barley yellow dwarf virus.”
The aphid feeds on leaves, which can cause them to become chlorotic, a yellowing or whitening of leaves due to insufficient chlorophyll, Reay-Jones said. This reduces plant growth.
Little else is known at this point about this uncommon pest, including control methods, he said.
“While it’s been found in some wheat and oat fields in Alabama, it hasn’t yet become a major issue over there, so it’s hard to predict how much of an issue this insect will be for us,” Reay-Jones said.
Growers should scout their fields for this pest and contact their local county Extension agent for help. The Sipha maydis aphid is identifiable by its dark color and the white hairs on its abdomen.

Send a Girl to Camp
Summer camp is about more than s'mores: it's a place where girls grow into leaders.
Girl Scout camp provides a safe place for girls to make life-long friends, learn about this amazing world we live in, and build their confidence to try new things. They sing around campfires and cheer each other on. They swim and laugh. They take on new responsibilities and gain courage that will serve them all their lives.
You can make this possible. Through a full or partial camp scholarship, you can give a girl with a financial need equal access to camp. For this girl, camp may be her only outdoor experience: the majority of low-income girls who participate in outdoor activities with the Girl Scouts say that they would not otherwise be able to do so.

Nathan Crabbe: Civility in the time of Trump
It was hard enough having a civil debate about contentious issues before Donald Trump ran for president.
All the arguing on social media, cable news and talk radio had already hardened our positions and lowered the level of discourse. When Trump came along referring to folks who disagree with him as “dummies” and “losers,” it was pretty much game over for civility.
Or maybe not. Seventy percent of people consider incivility to be at a crisis level, according to a recent poll from KRC Research. If we're open to a solution, the schools would be a good place to start.
When studies show young people lack knowledge about government, the prescribed cure is usually more civic education. Alan Levine, a member of the board overseeing Florida's state universities, recently said a survey showing young people favor socialism suggested additional civics courses are needed.
Florida lawmakers, in fact, passed a law in 2010 that requires middle school students to take a civics course. The law was named after former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor, who has called on states to reimpose civics requirements.
But having an engaged citizenry requires more than just teaching about the mechanics of government. Schools also need to teach how to engage respectfully with people from a different political camp, as New York University education professor Jonathan Zimmerman writes in a new column for The Atlantic.
That means letting teachers tackle controversial topics — and not freaking out if some of their students argue socialism isn't such a bad way to go.
The University of Florida's Bob Graham Center for Public Service promotes a civil and open-minded approach to politics, as the center's Shelby Taylor writes in a guest column today. Kevin Baron, the center's civic engagement coordinator, said students learn about the obligations of citizenship beyond just voting.
Baron teaches an online dual enrollment course, “Rethinking Citizenship,” that teaches a more dynamic view of being a citizen. Students learn their role in society includes volunteering, learning about their elected representatives' positions, and acting to influence public policy.
But does civic engagement require civility? Gov. Rick Scott's recent encounter in a Gainesville Starbucks brought condemnation of a customer who swore at him, while the other side argued that fighting against injustice shouldn't require being polite.
Yet whether it's our governor being called an a**hole by a citizen or President Obama being called a liar by a congressman, we should strive for a higher level of discourse. While Trump has done his part to inject a crude tone in politics, he alone can't be blamed for a problem that was a long time coming.
Most of us have built social bubbles for ourselves that keep us from having conversations with people who have opposing views. The only time we engage one another is when we yell at each other over Facebook. We've stopped trying to convince the other guy or being open to compromise.
From K-12 schools to the Graham Center's programs to these pages, we must recommit to the old notion that we can disagree without being disagreeable. Young people may need to learn more about government, but all of us could use a lesson in civil discourse.

The realities of food wastage in our world today is becoming more evident than ever. Several research and findings have in one way or the other revealed the scary growth in the number of food wastes and its impact on our economy and indeed the availability of food all over the world. Mehr anzeigen
This magazine is carefully designed in order to aware people about food wastage. Food waste or food loss is food that is discarded or lost uneaten. The causes of food waste or loss are numerous and occur at the stages of producing, processing, retailing and consuming.
Global food loss and waste amount to between one-third and one-half of all food produced. Loss and wastage occur at all stages of the food supply chain or value chain. In low-income countries, most loss occurs during product. Mehr anzeigen


Yes, the “G” stands for “Gets.”
Jimmy Gets Buckets and game winners and against the Atlanta Hawks Thursday he put on one of his best and most dynamic performances as a Chicago Bull. Yes, its preseason, but you know the Bulls approach every game like its Do or Die and they stay ready to ride.
There’s nothing wrong with seeing this team take a game they feel is rightfully theirs, even if its still mid-October, it speaks well of their chances in taking games that matter from October on. Best believe this is a team that has every intent to win as many games as possible in the regular 82 in order to have as many games on West Madison as possible in the postseason.
And as far as Jimmy Butler goes…anything that instills further confidence in him is a plus, if he attacks more defenses with regularity like he did last night, the Bulls could have a back court as enviable as its deep and interchangeable front court, truly making them a team that can run with any in the league.

Rolling back rules could backfire on automakers
The Center for Auto Safety is the nation’s premier independent, member driven, non-profit consumer advocacy organization dedicated to improving vehicle safety, quality, and fuel economy on behalf of all drivers, passengers, and pedestrians.
by Dan Becker and James Gerstenzang, Safe Climate Campaign
U.S. automakers are lobbying President Donald Trump and Congress to roll back rules that cut auto pollution and deliver better gas mileage, putting short-term profits ahead of long-term competitive interests. They’ve driven their gas hogs down this pot-holed road before. It led to their near-death experience less than a decade ago.
But Ford, General Motors and Fiat Chrysler are not just jeopardizing their industry and the environment. The weaker rules they seek will increase our oil dependence, give China’s burgeoning clean-car industry an advantage in the race to dominate the global auto market, and cost consumers billions at the pump. If they succeed, so much for Trump’s promises to cut the trade deficit, revive American manufacturing, and help middle-income workers.
When President Barack Obama worked with automakers and California officials to set us on course to a 2025 new-car fleet averaging better than 50 miles per gallon, the United States took the biggest single step of any nation to cut oil use and fight global warming. In January, after exhaustive analysis, the Environmental Protection Agency found that so much affordable gas-saving technology exists that the mileage-and-emissions standard could even be strengthened.


Potential Tropical Cyclone One is still an unrealized potential, and shows no signs of organization before the associated mess of rain squalls moves past Florida. Here is what it looks like on InfraRed satellite (the sun isn’t up yet as I write this):
There are actually several “centers” depending on how you define that, including the small convection-free swirl of clouds you can see in the center of the image. NHC thinks this mess will consolidate into a single center once it moves past Florida and The Bahamas, but they are off the hook for a real tropical storm. That doesn’t mean that some rain squalls with tropical storm force winds won’t pass by this morning, but more like the typical summer downpours and thunderstorms than a real tropical storm.
For being such a disorganized mess the track models and forecasts are remarkably consistent, taking it out parallel to the US Southeast coast towards Bermuda. There is still a chance that this will develop briefly in to Tropical Storm Alex before it gets there, but it will likely be short lived before conditions deteriorate and it becomes extratropical.
So far Potential Tropical Cyclone One can’t get it’s act together. It’s a very broad and disorganized system, and all of the rain and wind is displaced far to the east of the center, here from GOES East just before 5pm …
Here is the regional radar composite – Florida is getting a lot of rain already. It may well be that the rain will be ending before the storm itself actually passes over the state!
Elsewhere, just off the US east coast there is an area NHC is watching, but chances of development are small, and if something does spin up it seems at worst it would give Bermuda a windy day before moving out to sea.
Potential Tropical Cyclone One is a large, disorganized system that is producing tropical storm force winds, but technically isn’t a tropical storm (more on that later). In terms of impacts, it should just be some wind and rain – here are NHC’s Key Messages regarding Potential Tropical Cyclone One. As a reminder, once a storm forms the “Key Messages” product is a nice summary of watches, warnings, and forecast. Here is my TAOS/TC impact estimate based on the 5am forecast. Bottom line is windy/rainy weekend for Cuba, south Florida and the northern islands of The Bahamas, minimal damage other than some trees down, scattered power outages, very scattered roof damage, that sort of thing. Economic impact should be transitory, under $100 million, and recovered quickly. Elsewhere the storm may cause rip currents along the Southeastern US coast next week.
So what the heck is a “Potential Tropical Cyclone”? In the past these kinds of storms were not tracked and reported by the Hurricane Center until they met the formal criteria for being a tropical storm. That would mean a distinct (from other systems) warm core, closed circulation. The problem is that in some conditions a tropical storm can form from an otherwise disorganized disturbance before the system crosses land, and less than the normal time frame when watches are issued. This became more of an issue in 2010 when the lead time for a watch was increased from 36 to 48 hours, and a warning form 24 to 36 hours, and more storms were forming withing those time frames and people were not getting as much notice. So in order to give people warning and time to prepare, NHC starts advisories as a “Potential Tropical Cyclone” on systems that are forecast to become actual tropical systems. So like a lot of things in tropical meteorology, it’s a mix of actual meteorology, administrative issues, and emergency management needs.
Although still not well organized, and not in a great environment for development, the system off of Yucatan continues to move slowly northeast. Since it has a good potential to become at least a tropical depression or low end tropical storm, the hurricane center will likely start advisories and post watches later today as at least a “potential tropical cyclone.” At the moment the models aren’t terribly enthusiastic about the system, most keeping it at minimal tropical storm strength. Here is what the US GFS model shows for Saturday Morning at 8am, a disorganized minimal tropical storm …
Some of the models don’t even form a coherent system (just a broad area of disturbed weather). In the map above you can see two distinct “centers” (the “L” symbols), indicating a very disorganized system. Here is what some of the models are showing as tracks, for a disorganized mess they are actually fairly consistent …
Other than a lot of rain it’s not likely this storm will get organized enough to produce significantly damaging winds. Unless you’re just unlucky and a tree falls on your house, or something breaks that shouldn’t, this should be just a rain event for Cuba, Florida and The Bahamas. For the Southeastern US (Georgia and Florida), an approaching cold front that will bring rain Friday and early Saturday will have moved past, and the system (tropical storm or not) should stay far enough away to not cause any impacts other than perhaps waves and a risk of rip tides at the beach.
This morning’s Tropical Weather Outlook (TWO) from the US National Hurricane Center (NHC) is worth reading and, if you’re in a hurricane prone area, bookmarking. It should be your go-to reference for hurricane planning to get the “big picture”. Today’s TWO has a nice overview of NHC products (reproduced below). Here is the link: https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/gtwo.php?basin=atlc&fdays=5
There are two areas of disturbed weather being watched today. The one in the Bahamas isn’t likely to be much of a threat to anyone, the one over the Yucatan has a better chance of at least a tropical depression forming (70% according to the early morning update, up to 80% at the 8am update). The 06z (2am) GFS global weather model showed it staying pretty disorganized as it crosses over Yucatan and then Cuba, the Florida Keys, and Bahamas through next weekend. As the advisory states, people in those areas should “monitor the progress” of the system.
As for Enki’s products this year, if there is something going in in any of the hurricane basins (not just the Atlantic, but the Pacific and Indian Ocean as well) I plan on doing a post between 6:00am and 7:30am Eastern Time with an overview and discussion of the potential impacts, as well as any interesting scientific or political points of interest for any active events. If a storm is threatening land, I’ll do an additional post in the mid to late afternoon (between 3:30pm and 5:30pm) with any important updates. It is vital to remember that weather analysis has a cycle of updates, and despite the efforts of the media to make you fixate on every wobble or update, the forecasts are only updated four times a day and it is rare they change that much from one to another. Generally speaking, checking once a day is fine for a storm more five days away from you, and twice a day until it passes or you are in/near a watch/warning zone, at which point more frequent checking is a good plan. Don’t worry about what models say: follow the official forecast for planning purposes. If you want to understand how those models become a forecast, that’s something I write about here, but don’t bet your life on a model (or, as I like to say, don’t eat raw spaghetti).
As promised, here is the product overview from the TWO for reference since it will be overwritten later today by an updated advisory …
Today marks the first day of the Atlantic hurricane season, which
will run until November 30. Long-term averages for the number of
named storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes are 14, 7, and 3,

We have the first Magic Words(tm) of the Atlantic hurricane season! The latest (2pm Tuesday 31 May) NHC five day outlook shows an ominous red X and hashmark of doom pointed towards Florida …
As I frequently recommend, read the text for the graphic before getting too excited. Here’s what it says, with the “magic words” highlighted:
A large and complex area of low pressure is expected to develop near the Yucatan Peninsula and the northwestern Caribbean Sea in a couple of days, partially related to the remnants of Agatha from the eastern Pacific. Despite strong upper-level winds over the area, this system is likely to become a tropical depression while it moves northeastward over the northwestern Caribbean Sea and southeastern Gulf of Mexico late Thursday or Friday. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is likely across portions of southeastern Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula, Guatemala, and Belize during the next couple of days, spreading across western Cuba, southern Florida, and the Florida Keys on Friday and Saturday. Interests inthe Yucatan Peninsula, western Cuba, the Florida Keys and the Florida Peninsula should monitor the progress of this system.
NHC’s Tropical Weather Outlooks follow a specific pattern. They tell you what the thing is (“A large and complex area of low pressure…”) then they will have the phrases Interests in <some place, in this case highlighted in red> should <do something, here in green>. So if you’re (someplace), do that thing – otherwise, don’t worry about it.
In this case the models seem to be showing, well, a large and complex area of low pressure, which are forecast to dump a lot of rain and maybe spin up some tropical winds. The latest GFS run did not form as clear of a center as it has previously, but any organization is still a couple of days away. Even if it does become a depression or minimal tropical storm, it probably won’t be a dangerous system until it is past the Bahamas as it treks northeast (and probably not then either). But we may get “Alex” out of it. As the TWO says, monitor the progress (if you’re in Florida) or enjoy the short work week (if you’re most other folks except me or another profession who works all the time on some crisis or another …).
Hurricane Agatha made landfall on the west coast of Mexico last night as a strong Category Two storm. Damage reports are starting to come in, and there is still a risk of flash flooding and mudslides as rain is dumped across the mountainous terrain. As with any storm there will be local stories of tragedy, and there will be people who need help, but Agatha should not have caused a widespread disaster with perhaps one million people in the zone of tropical storm conditions, and estimated impacts on the order of $150 million US Dollars. Here is the surface analysis from NOAA’s Tropical Analysis and Forecast Branch on top of an Infrared (IR – cloud top temperature) satellite image …
So what is the TLDR? The remains of Agatha are merging with an existing low pressure system lurking around the Yucatan. It is possible (NHC says 60% chance at the moment) that the resulting mess will consolidate and form a tropical depression by this weekend and move towards Cuba, the Florida Keys, and the Bahamas. Either way it should dump a lot of rain across that swath. So at the moment there is nothing specific to worry about, just a big blob of wet weather. Will be watching in case something does spin up …
The slowly moving Hurricane Agatha is making landfall on the west coast of Mexico this evening. Tropical storm force winds and heavy rain are already being felt on the Mexican coast, and conditions will worsen throughout the day. Here’s the latest impact forecast map using my TAOS/TC model, based on the official forecast:
Agatha is a strong Category Two hurricane at 110mph (95 kt) winds. The forecast keeps it at that intensity, although it might barely make Cat 3 status before landfall. Either way that shouldn’t change the impact estimates much. Agatha is a small storm, but there are still around 1.5 million people in the potential damage swath. The economic impact estimate has decreased a little with the track and intensity forecast changes, now at about $200 Million USD.
It is not likely Agatha will survive long after landfall, and while some of the track models do take the remnants into the Gulf on the current track the dynamics of it being a recognizable storm just aren’t there. NHC is showing an area of potential development around the Yucatan Peninsula in a couple of days (the yellow blob on the five day outlook (link)). Some of the remnant moisture of Agatha might contribute to the development of that potential system. The GFS model has been persistent in forecasting a storm to spin up off the coast of Belize in three or four days, then track across Cuba and the Bahamas as it moves northeast, ending up between Bermuda and North Carolina in about 10 days. While of interest to modelers and long range forecasters, it’s WAY too early to speculate or get excited about it.
Wow, that changed quickly. This morning Hurricane Agatha (EP012022) has rapidly increased in organization and intensity …
Rather than landfall as a Category One hurricane, it is very possible it could be a Category Three storm as it hits between Puerto Escondido and Mazunte, in the Mexican State of Oaxaca. This has caused the forecast economic impacts to triple to almost $400 Million USD. Still seems unlikely for Agatha to survive to enter the Gulf of Mexico – it should stall out and rapidly decay over land. But with more energy/moisture available it’s more possible. Just goes to show that despite advances, these storms remain somewhat unpredictable, especially intensity forecasts.
Agatha (EP012022) looks to make landfall near Puerto Escondido, Mexico tomorrow (Monday) evening as a minimal hurricane. There is some uncertainty in the intensity, the National Hurricane Center is being conservative and forecasting landfall as a 90mph storm but chances are it will be less than that. If the forecast holds it will affect around 1.5 Million people and have economic impacts of between $100 and $150 Million USD. Like many tropical storm hitting Central America, aside from the immediate coast the biggest risk is probably flooding and landslides from heavy rains. Here’s the latest (Sunday Morning) impact forecast:
Elsewhere, NHC has flagged the southern Gulf of Mexico and the area just to the east of Belize as an area for the possible formation of a storm next week with the odds at 30%. This morning’s GFS run did show something developing off the coast of Belize in about 5 days, becoming a tropical system as it crosses Cuba, the Bahamas, and then exiting northeastwards towards Bermuda. It’s WAY too early to speculate about that – and notice that the NHC Five Day outlook does not have the magic words in it, so nothing to worry about at this point. It is important to keep in mind that while the longer range models are getting better, they still spin up imaginary storms far too often to get excited about them. Unless you are testing your new blood pressure medicine for hurricane season, then feel free 😛

Alcoa Corporation announced today that it has reached an agreement to supply ECOLUM™ rolling slabs to Gränges, a leading producer of rolled aluminum products for heat exchanger applications and other targeted markets.
ECOLUM™ is part of Alcoa’s SUSTANA™ line of low-carbon products that support supply chain sustainability. Gränges has a long-term target to reduce the intensity of carbon emissions across its entire supply chain.
“Gränges is committed to reducing our climate impact from a life-cycle perspective, and thereby enhancing our sustainability performance,” said Sofia Hedevåg, Gränges’ SVP Sustainability. “One of the key priorities in our climate strategy is to collaborate along the value chain and increase the sourcing and use of recycled aluminum and low-carbon primary aluminum since such materials significantly reduce our products’ carbon footprint.”
Alcoa’s ECOLUM™ cast products are produced at hydroelectric-powered aluminum smelters and guarantee no more than 2.5 metric tons of carbon dioxide smelter emissions per metric ton of aluminum. This is 75 percent better than the industry average.
When also considering the upstream emissions from bauxite mining and refining, ECOLUM™ guarantees less than 4.0 metric tons of total carbon dioxide equivalents, per metric ton of aluminum.
“Our industry-leading performance provides a distinct advantage in offering low-carbon aluminum products to our customers,” said Tim Reyes, Alcoa’s Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. “Alcoa controls its entire aluminum value chain, beginning with sustainable bauxite mining and an alumina refining system that has the lowest carbon dioxide emissions of any producer – all supplying a smelting system predominately powered with hydroelectric energy.”
Reyes continued: “There is a growing demand for sustainably-produced materials, with customers acknowledging that it is worth paying extra for these attributes. With our SUSTANA™ line of products and certifications from the Aluminium Stewardship Initiative, we are able to support the demand for sustainably produced metal.”
ECOLUM™ greenhouse gas (GHG) emission and energy consumption numbers are verified by a third party and disclosed in Environmental Product Declaration, or EPD. To learn more, visit www.alcoa.com.

The island of Aogashima is indeed still green, clean, and has an active volcanic crater, although it is still active, this place also has a population of around 200 inhabitants, the unique thing is that the people around this island are very far from the modern world, they usually do climbing activities and that the best thing is that they are usually sauna in the hot steam that is around the central part of Augashima Island. Would you like to try a sauna in nature? Come on, hurry to Aogashima Island.
2. Antelope Canyon, United States
Antelope Canyon is a deep valley flanked by two beautiful cliffs. Actually, Antelope Canyon is formed due to water and wind which makes this Navajo sandstone have a beautiful shape, to form it all takes a very long time.
This place is indeed a beautiful place because when the walls of the Antelope Canyon are reflected in the light it gives beautiful colors, this is what attracts tourists from all over the world, usually they are here doing hiking and camping activities to see how beautiful Antelope Cayon is when reflected by the sun .

The first question is easy: Who’s going to be the next Britney?
The next isn’t: Which Britney is it?
There is Britney the pristine bubble gum poppette, Britney the chart topper, Britney the tabloid trollop, Britney the what-the-heck-happened-to-your-career-honey? . . .
So ask a gaggle of music industry folks the easy question, and you’ll get some hard answers.
“Who’s going to be the next Britney is more about who gets lucky,” said Gary Bongiovanni, editor of the music industry magazine Pollstar. “It obviously isn’t always about records. There is always some intangible about what will appeal to the public, not always who might be the best singer.”
“This whole little micro-generation of bubblegum teenyboppers are trying to outsex each other,” WBMX-FM (98.5) music director Mike Mullaney noted, “and I just don’t recall this happening back in the days of Tiffany and Debbie Gibson.”
So who’s in line to be the next mega-hyped, bigger-than-life pop queen? Who could fill Spears’ stilettos?
Here’s what music insiders had to say about the usual suspects, along with a couple of ringers:
Ashlee Simpson: “It’s wait-and-see since ‘Saturday Night Live,’ ” said Sean Ross, vice president of music and programming for Edison Media Research. “Jessica is very talented and has a great voice, and it’s almost as if her dad said, ‘I have a wholesome pop star, now I need a rocker in the family,’ ” added WQSX-FM (93.7) program director Jerry McKenna. “Her whole thing just seems very contrived to me.”
“Ashlee was one possibility,” Bongiovanni said, “though it’s hard to tell how much damage she did with her lip syncing on ‘Saturday Night Live.’ ”
Hillary Duff: “She’s already proven herself to be a star in several different art forms,” said Bongiovanni, “if you can call what she does ‘art.’ ”
“She’s similar to Britney in that she has that wholesome bubblegum image,” added McKenna.
Kelly Clarkson: “She’s been such a nice, All-American girl,” said Mullaney, “but you know she is going to give in to temptation and become everything opposite of what she represents now. It’s inevitable. She’s going to end up face down in the Viper Room. We all know it’s going to happen. It’s only a matter of when.”
Usher: Who says the next Britney has to be a female? “Despite the whole nature of of his `Confessions’ project,” said Ross, “he never had the personal-life-out-of-control image that Britney has, perhaps because he doesn’t keep getting married.”
JoJo: “If you judge by the buzz in the teen magazines and general press,” Bongiovanni said, “then JoJo keeps popping up. The real young kids are into her, but the problem with that audience is that its attention span is about 15 minutes.”
“You’d like to hope that a girl like JoJo could keep her Massachusetts and Boston roots and possibly become a pop star without a Las Vegas wedding and Mexican divorce,” added Mullaney.
Lindsay Lohan: “It’s interesting that Lindsay’s ‘Rumors’ hung in there longer than Britney’s similarly themed ‘My Prerogative,’ ” said Ross, possibly a sign that it’s time for the, er, bustier to be passed.
“Her records have yet to become hits,” Mullaney said, “but boy oh boy is she ready to become the next Paris Hilton. Where’s the video?” She’s recently been seen with Colin Farrell, too, and when you hang out with the baddest of the bad boys . . .
“The person who can encompass most of Britney is Lindsay,” McKenna said. “She seems to be all over the place these days, a celebrity than anything else. She’s the media’s darling and gets noted for who she’s with as opposed to what she is actually doing with her career.
“Hopefully, she won’t turn into as big a mess as Britney has become.” thanks toxiclady.net

Harry Potter’s Lockhart Once Married Trelawney and Cheated on Her with Bellatrix
Kenneth Branagh played Gilderoy Lockhart in Harry Potter, and some might say that it was the perfect role for him.
Professor Lockhart wasn’t the most honest man in the Potterverse – and a few years earlier, neither was the actor who portrayed him. We’re not pointing fingers, but did you know that Kenneth Branagh once cheated on his then-wife Emma Thompson (yes, the one who played the cuckoo Professor Sybill Trelawney)?
That’s right, but that was long before Harry Potter. The actors first met in 1987 on the set of Fortunes of War. After dating for two years, they made things official in 1989 and even continued to work together. Everything was well until 1995 when the couple suddenly made their separation public and stated their conflicting schedules as the reason.
However, it was later established that Branagh had actually cheated on Thompson with none other than Helena Bonham Carter, Harry Potter’s very own madwoman, Bellatrix Lestrange. This took Emma completely by surprise – she spoke to The New Yorker about being “utterly, utterly blind” to the affair in question and the general revelation that Kenneth had something with other actresses he worked with.
Infidelity takes a toll on anyone, but the star has actually managed to turn her emotion into art. Remember the iconic Love Actually scene where Karen, Thompson’s character, realizes that the necklace is a gift meant for someone else and that her husband is cheating on her?
In fact, Emma drew inspiration from her own experience with her ex-spouse’s adultery. In a 2018 interview, she acknowledged the role that her personal struggles played in delivering the scene, adding, “I had my heart very badly broken by Ken.” The actress has actually since forgiven both troublemakers, calling the whole incident “blood under the bridge.”
Imagine if Thompson had to film scenes with Branagh and Bonham Carter in Harry Potter. Shooting a movie with your ex and the woman he cheated on you with would just be plain unbearable! Thankfully, those three never shared any scenes together and remained professional.

In July, American Legion Riders Chapter 442 Director Joseph Sullivan was trying to conduct a monthly ALR meeting when he started getting messages on his phone. Sullivan had his phone on silent and tried to ignore them until getting a phone call from his son, a U.S. Marine stationed in California – a call his fellow Legion Riders in Horsehead, N.Y., knew he had to take.
His son was calling because one of his friends had sent him a picture from a motorcycle accident two blocks from Sullivan’s house in Horsehead that had taken the life of two local residents. Sullivan assured his son he was OK and then started checking the messages. All were the same, checking to see if Sullivan was OK.
Sullivan and the rest of the Riders eventually found out that the victims of the accident were Matthew and Harolyn Matteson. The pair had two children together, a 5- and a 7-year-old, while Matthew had an 18-year-old daughter from a previous marriage.
Sullivan said Matthew and Harolyn had come to a few of 442’s smaller events and at the last one had brought their son, 5-year-old Lucas. Sullivan was handing out balsa wood airplanes to children and found Lucas staring at him.
“I had two left,” Sullivan said. “I looked at his father, and he said, ‘I told him he could have anything he wanted here, and he wanted one of those airplanes.’ So I gave him those last two airplanes.”
For nine years Chapter 442 has conducted a Benefit Dice Run to raise funds for various local charities but had never done so for a specific family. After reflecting, however, Sullivan said picking the Matteson children as recipients of this year’s August fundraiser was pretty easy, especially after seeing pictures of the children and parents.
“I looked at the daughter and the mother, and I looked at the son and the father, and it was like they were spitting images,” Sullivan said. “I just thought the boy’s never going to know his parents. And the daughter might have faint memories. I said, ‘I wonder if we ought to do this benefit for them?’”
Other people began messaging Sullivan asking the same question. During an emergency Riders meeting a few days later the decision was made to donate the funds raised to the Mattesons. Sullivan created a flyer and posted it on Facebook at 7:05 p.m. that night. By 7 a.m. the following morning it had been viewed and shared more than 16,000 times.
Members of Chapter 442 reached into their own pockets to help the children, as did Post 442’s American Legion Family, while area businesses, organizations and individuals stepped up to donate to the cause. And Sullivan said that probably “every other” motorcycle organization or club in the area also presented a check to the cause.
Despite rain, more than 138 motorcyclists took part in the dice run. Between that and raffling off more than 200 items, the event raised nearly $30,000 for the Matteson children. And a local quilters group that meets at the post made a quilt for each of the three children in a matter of days.
Pulling the benefit together for children they really didn’t know was an easy choice for Chapter 442’s Legion Riders. “It’s part of Americanism, and it’s part of Children & Youth,” Sullivan said. “It’s what we do. We take care of children in our community, and these children need all the help we can give them.”
But even prior to the benefit, Sullivan had helped one of the surviving children. He said he found out that the oldest daughter, Ashley, had never rode on the back of her father’s motorcycle, despite his asking her multiple times. On the day of the Matteson’s funeral, Sullivan approached Ashley with an offer.
“I have five daughters, and I have two daughters that have never ridden with me,” Sullivan said. “I know how much that would bother them … if something were to happen to me and they never rode with me.”
Sullivan offered to let Ashley ride on the back of his motorcycle with him from the funeral home to the church. “The day of the funeral she came up to me, gave me a great big hug, and she goes ‘I’m going to do it. I’m going to ride,’” she said. “I’ve been riding my whole life, and I’ve never been more nervous. Her family came up to me, and I told them ‘the amount of trust of faith you put in me at this time to take (Ashley) on a motorcycle when they were killed on a motorcycle, it’s just unbelievable.'
“Her mother approached me with tears in her eyes and said ‘Joe, I’m a grief counselor, and that’s what I do for a living.' She said that with all of her training that she has ever had, she could never do for her daughter what I did that day. She said I made her daughter smile on the worst day of her life.”

So I’m just going to come out and say that I’m really hoping Illinois legalizes gay marriage today.
I originally hail from Minnesota (Long, long ago, in a winter far away) and I was very proud when they came in number 12 for marriage equality not too long ago. I’m ready for all the states that I personally identify with to be as cool as I imagine them to be. Any time now. Just as soon as this happens, and then Chicago stops being kind of segregated in a racist kind of way. And then maybe if we could stop closing schools and subsidizing trashy umbrellas designed to represent historic icons. Then everything would surely be perfect here in the Windy City.
But anyway, this would be a really good first step.
The thing with marriage equality is, I kind of feel like I’m beating a dead horse when I say that, hey, this is an important civil rights issue, and needs to be addressed. Here in Illinois we’re waiting for the Illinois Legislature to decide to vote on it, today, before they adjourn, and that’s a big deal. But I can’t help but feel that if we don’t pass it today, we’re going to pass it eventually. Chicago is a very Democratic place, and Democrats tend to be pretty pro-gay marriage at the moment. So that’s great, and I’m really happy about it. Yay to gay couples who fit snugly into hetero-normative social roles!
But the other thing is this: I am totally, one hundred percent behind a policy of marriage equality, because that sort of seems to be the best we can do in the world we live in right now. But I also think it’s important to question whether this whole marriage thing really ought to be such a huge legal advantage. Stay with me.
According to the Human Rights Campaign (a somewhat shady for-profit enterprise that is very invested in legalizing gay marriage at the moment) there are 1,138 distinct benefits, rights, and protections provided by law on the basis of marital status. This includes social security benefits, crazy tax benefits, family and medical leave laws, immigration privileges, and healthcare privileges (including the often-used example of hospital visitation rights and decision-making rights.) And I agree that if straight married couples have these rights, then so should gay married couples. Without question. But my question is, why do these benefits hinge on marriage at all?
According to this article, an unmarried woman can end up paying a million dollars more in her lifetime for health insurance, taxes, etc, than her married counterparts. This article found that single people often feel discriminated against in the workplace, where they are more frequently asked to work evenings and weekends than their married counterparts. A lot of the benefits conferred on married people (especially the financial benefits) are considered to be a sort of encouragement by the government to get married, because many people see being married as automatically better than being single. Some of the social security benefits of marriage were put into place under the assumption that single people paying into the fund would get married eventually, and they would be recouped their losses then.
In reality this just isn’t the case. Almost half of all Americans are single (at least legally speaking), and there is a growing trend of people who choose not to get married. Like, on purpose. And these people are actually pretty happy, whether you believe it or not. What’s interesting is that, according to this article by Maura Kelly, single people are actually more likely to contribute to society, even though they get less compensation for it. They are more likely to volunteer, to spend time with neighbors, participate in public events, and even frequently work the same jobs as married people while getting paid less. Not to mention they don’t get the same kinds of benefits–for instance, a single person cannot put someone who is important to them on their health insurance, while a married person can include their children and spouse in the package. Nor can they necessarily designate beneficiaries for things like Social Security and 401(k) plans.
To me, this seems pretty unfair, and really unnecessary. Why the tax breaks? Why aren’t the important people in an unmarried person’s life just as important legally and financially as the important people in a married person’s life? I haven’t heard a good explanation yet.

Rachel Riley apologises to Jedward after she made joke about singing duo as she criticised Wiley for his anti-Semitic rant
- Rachel Riley joked Wiley could have ended his career by dueting with Jedward
- The grime star had previously written a series of vile anti-Semitic tweets
- Rachel, who is Jewish, criticised the star who has been banned from Twitter
- But Jedward replied to the Countdown host, saying she was ‘spreading hate’
- She then deleted the tweet and apologised to the Irish former X Factor stars
Rachel Riley has apologised to Jedward after joking about their music while criticising Wiley’s anti-Semitic rant.
The Countdown presenter, who is Jewish, said the Grime star could have ended his career by performing with the Irish twins instead of making his vile remarks.
But the former X Factor stars hit back at her comments, saying she should not have targeted them.
Feud: Rachel Riley has apologised to Jedward after joking about their music while criticising Wiley’s anti-Semitic rant
She wrote: ‘He could have just done a duet with Jedward if he was that keen to end his career.
‘An unprompted, still going, public antisemitic breakdown is a bizarre route to go down.’
But Jedward replied: ‘You are a patron for a Center for Countering Digital Hate?
Hitting back: Jedward accused the Countdown presenter of ‘spreading hate’ by joking about their music
Vile remarks: Wiley, considered the Godfather of Grime, published a series of anti-Semitic tweets
‘And yet here you are spreading Hate!! As anti bullying ambassadors we don’t approve of this!’
Rachel promptly apologised and deleted her original tweet.
She then replied to the duo: ‘Genuinely didn’t mean any offence to you, was just a joke and you were the least grime people I could think of.’
She also tweeted the statement: ‘Apologies to Jedward, totally flippant joke about them not being particularly grime and no offence intended.
Standing down: Rachel deleted her initial joke about the twins after they criticised the Countdown star
‘Good meme below though, they’re nice boys and I didn’t think of the cumulative impact of jokes.’
Wiley, 41, had made a series of tweets, saying: ‘Jewish people you are not the reason I am wiley but I am the reason a lot of you have made money so shut up lol.’
Other Tweets included: ‘If you work for a company owned by 2 Jewish men and you challenge the Jewish community in anyway of course you will get fired.’
He made multiple shocking comments, including calling Jewish people ‘too touchy,’ and saying Israel ‘is not yours.’
He even challenged those who said they’d report him: ‘Get me arrested let me see what the charge is you cowards.’
Shocking: Wiley made a series of outlandish claims on his twitter feed on Saturday which resulted in him being banned from the site for seven days
Wiley has been given a seven-day ban from Twitter over a series of anti-Semitic tweets which are being reviewed by police – as a campaign calls on Instagram to shut down his account to prevent a ‘further outpouring of anti-Jewish venom’.
The musician was given an hours-long ban after tweeting a stream of comments on Friday evening, but was back online by Saturday morning.
However, after he resumed tweeting, he was given a seven-day ban from the social media platform.
He also posted a series of videos discussing the ban to his Instagram account. In one he said ‘crawl out from under your little rocks and defend your Jewish privilege’.
While the video of Wiley telling Jewish people to ‘crawl out from under your little rocks’ has been removed, a post showing a snip of a tweet of a conspiracy theory about Jews funding and creating the KKK remains.
Wiley is said to have been dropped by his management company over the tweets, but he claimed that he cut ties with them.
When questioned on Wiley’s comments by MailOnline, the Metropolitan Police referred to a statement on the LBTowerHamlets Twitter feed which says, ‘the relevant material is being assessed’.
Appalling: Wiley posted a series of videos discussing the ban to his Instagram account, and in one he said: ‘Crawl out from under your little rocks and defend your Jewish privilege

Ukraine can supply commodities on the markets of more than 100 countries – I.Shvaika
Despite 30% losses of the exports to the Russian Federation, Ukraine may reorient its commodity supply to the markets of more than 100 countries, declared Ihor Shvaika, Minister of Agrarian Policy and Food of Ukraine, on August 26.
The Minister said that Ukraine may enter not only the markets of the European Union, but also any other markets due to the laws adopted by the Verkhovna Rada.
As for the grain harvest in the current year, the produced volumes are quite enough to provide the export potential and domestic needs, said I.Shvaika.
Also, he added that Ukraine has the great potential for production of biological raw materials.

Edgar Award-winning author Mindy McGinnis delivers a riveting contemporary YA novel that examines rape culture through alternating perspectives. A stunning, unforgettable page-turner.
Alex Craft knows how to kill someone. And she doesn’t feel bad about it.
Three years ago, when her older sister, Anna, was murdered and the killer walked free, Alex uncaged the language she knows best—the language of violence.
While her own crime goes unpunished, Alex knows she can’t be trusted among other people. Not with Jack, the star athlete who wants to really know her but still feels guilty over the role he played the night Anna’s body was discovered. And not with Peekay, the preacher’s kid with a defiant streak who befriends Alex while they volunteer at an animal shelter. Not anyone.
As their senior year unfolds, Alex’s darker nature breaks out, setting these three teens on a collision course that will change their lives forever.

EARTH PRIME TIME: CAPTAIN MIDNIGHT & COMMANDER X PREVIEW WITH JAY PISCOPO
March 28, 2012
by CLAY FERNALD
Listen to the audio of this interview at this link.
Moonstone Books will co-publish a cross-over one shot with local publisher Nemo Publishing to rebirth the legendary golden age hero Captain Midnight in December 2012. We’re huge fans of the collaborators, Jay Piscopo (Nemo, Capt’n Eli) and Brian Augustyn (DC Comics, Gotham by Gaslight). Jay was kind enough to take us to the skies and give us a birds-eye view of what to expect!
I am here with Jay Piscopo, from Maine! Why don’t you tell us about your Captain Midnight book?
My character, Commander X is going to meet the Golden Age version of Captain Midnight. We are also including cameo appearances of the Airboy and the Airfighters.
It’s all that Brian and I have wanted to see from an aviator World War II comic. One way we describe it is Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in WWII facing Nazi Super-Science. It’s a dream come true.
I’m not familiar with Captain Midnight but you were kind enough to send me some history. He first appeared nearly 75 years ago!
He’s always been a favorite character of mine, and the reason I zeroed in on him was exactly what you just said, you hadn’t heard of it. A lot of fans and lovers of comics and superheroes don’t realize that these pulp heroes are where they all came from.
Recently with John Carter, we have a situation where since the story and characters are so original, and that everything was derived from these pulp stories, the audience says “I’ve already seen this before.” What I found relevant about Captain Midnight is that we are still in a world of war.
There are issues brought out by World War II about what democracy is, and what war is all about. We can talk about these issues today, using something from the past.
Captain Midnight is visually interesting to me as well. Like a lot of people I watch YouTube more than I watch TV now. I love watching BASE jumping. Looking at the wing suits they wear I said, “Wait a minute…that’s Captain Midnight!” I like the fun of having a dogfight between a Nazi jet and a guy with cloth wings between his arms as wings. I thought those scenes would be fun for a modern comics reader without being too pastiche-y. Click HERE to continue reading the interview on Dig Boston.
