Washington: – US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced that Confucius Institute, Operational in more than 60 US universities and educational institutions and campaigning for the Chinese communist regime, will henceforth be registered as a ‘Foreign Mission’. He said that the decision was taken to free the US students and universities from the campaigning of the Chinese communist party and its undertakings. China accused that this US decision is an effort to put a blemish on the things related to the US-China cooperation.
US Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, clearly indicated sharpening the edge of actions against the Chinese government saying, “Since the last four decades, the Chinese communist regime has run comprehensive campaigns to impose its ideology on the United States, taking advantage of the open and free US systems. ‘Confucius Institute US Centre’ also is a part of the same campaign engaged in activities to increase the influence of the Chinese regime, in these universities and schools. The entire funding of the institute comes from the Chinese communist government. Therefore, taking all this into account, orders have been issued to change the status of the Institute to Foreign diplomatic office, operating in the United States.” US Secretary of State clarified that this action was being taken with a view that the educationists and the school administrations should be aware of the activities of the Chinese communist party and facilitate them to decide on the further course of action.
China expressed severe regret over the US decision. The Chinese foreign ministry warned ‘The United States should stop giving political colour to the education-related programs. It should not interfere in the exchange, between the citizens of both the countries, on the cultural level. These activities to weaken the credibility of the China-US relations need to stop.’ A few months ago, the United States had forced nine Chinese news channels and dailies to register as a ‘Foreign Mission’.
Two years ago, the US intelligence agency CIA, had submitted a report stating that China is making efforts to increase its influence in the US educational institutions and other undertakings. The report mentioned the Confucius institute, operating in more than 100 US universities. The reports warned that through this medium, China is trying to spread the Chinese culture and at the same time, trying to dominate the educational institutes, using its financial might. US investigation agency FBI also had said during a congressional hearing that inquiry was being conducted regarding the Confucius Institute centres, being run in the US universities. The US intelligence agencies had also expressed a concern that the Confucius Institute can act as a place of espionage, for the Chinese regime.

The Indian Railways has sought the DIPAM’s view, said officials. “The decision about IRCTC and RailTel has been left to DIPAM because it concerns listed entities,” said one of the officials, who did not wish to be identified.
The proposal to merge the two entities is based on the recommendations of Sanjeev Sanyal, a former principal economic advisor in the finance ministry, who is currently a member of the Prime Minister’s Economic Advisory Committee.
Sanyal had last year given a host of suggestions for restructuring the national transporter to make it leaner and more efficient. A key focus of his suggestions was minimising overlaps within the operations of the Indian Railways.
In September last year, the Railway Board decided to implement these suggestions and it has to furnish a monthly progress report to the cabinet secretariat. Another recommendation, about the IRCTC taking over the operations of Central Railway Information Systems (CRIS), is also with the DIPAM.
The railways has implemented some proposals, including shuttering the Indian Railways Organization for Alternative Fuel.
Sanyal had recommended closure of the Central Organisation for Modernisation of Workshops (COFMOW) and Central Organisation for Railway Electrification (CORE), which are being implemented.
“COFMOW will be closed next year (2023-24) while CORE will be closed down in phases,” a senior Rail Ministry official said.

How Can I Reduce Msg In My Body?
You can eliminate added MSG from your body by drinking plenty of water. You should also stop eating all foods that contain this flavor enhancer.
What Is So Bad About Msg?
MSG is it actually bad for you? There are a number of negative claims associated with MSG. There have been many reports of MSG causing asthma, headaches, brain damage, nausea, drowsiness, and other health problems.
What Fast Food Has The Most Msg?

I was laying in bed this morning and began to count down that I had 24 days left until I am going to be returning to work. It took me a minute or so to realize what I was doing and give my head a shake. I am not going to waste the next 24 days worrying and fretting about going back to work. I do not know how people are going to react to me. I don’t know how I am going to feel until I get there. So I pushed it out of my mind.
I was having a conversation when the comment made was I was going to be walking back into my life. Which gave me pause. Had I been so involved with work and being perfect and bending over backwards for others, that my life was work? That is not how it is today.
I am already in my life.
Yes I am going to be returning to a job that pays my bills and rent. But in no way is it my life.
My life is:
Brother & Family
The dreams I have that I am going to make come true
Work is but a brief interruption in my new reality.
This is going to be a wee bit of a brag.
T has informed me that the time has come for me to move beyond my poetry to short stories. He would like to see me stories like his. The Adventures of Pickle. Kids book he has created.
I have been mulling over an idea or what I thought the idea was going to be. Last night I grabbed my notebook and opened up a new page in Evernote Notebook Fiction. I wrote for an hour. At times my fingers flew across the keyboard as my character began to take shape. Imagine my surprise when my main character morphed from male to female and the male lead is becoming a secondary character.
I wrote 1249 words last night.
I could have continued writing but than I would only be going to bed now. I have not written a short story since the early 2000’s. I am so excited and even now she is hovering at the edge of my conscious poking me as though saying ‘Hey Jay what are you doing? I am here, c’mon let’s get going I have so much to tell you.”

The driver, Alejandro Done, was identified through the app, which matches riders with nearby available drivers in its database. Done, 46, is currently being held without bail. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of kidnapping, rape, assault to rape, and assault and battery.
After picking up his passenger on Boston’s Tremont Street, Done allegedly insisted that she needed to take out cash from an ATM to pay him. (Part of Uber’s appeal is that it is a no-cash, purely digital-transaction service.) Following the stop at the ATM, Done allegedly took her to a remote location where he assaulted her in the back seat. The woman later reported the assault to the Cambridge police.
According to the Boston Globe, this is the fourth incident of its kind in the Boston area this month alone. On Dec. 14, three women, at least two of whom were using Uber, reported “indecent assaults” after summoning rides.
Uber issued a statement about safety on its company blog on Thursday that emphasized its “thorough, multi-layered” background checks and driver-ratings system, stressing that these safety precautions were unique to its platform.
Yet Uber’s much-touted background checks have faced serious criticism in recent months. The New York Times reported that the company is trying to stop state legislation that would require ridesharing services to conduct background checks on par with those to which taxi drivers submit.
While Uber isn’t alone in its opposition to such laws, “supporters of stronger background checks say Uber has been by far the most aggressive.”
Uber often lauds its ridesharing platform as a safe alternative to traditional taxi services, but its safety record undermines its promises. With so many blemishes on its image, it remains to be seen whether Uber can successfully eliminate the risk inherent in getting a ride from a stranger—or whether it will even try.

How did Vladimir Putin win Russians’ support for his genocidal war in Ukraine and why are so many of them willing to embrace fascism?
Ian Garner joins us for a launch of his new book Z Generation, a fascinating, bottom-up portrait of the fascist youth movements warping Russian society and politics—and the darker future awaiting the country if their hold cannot be broken.
Wartime Russia is drowning in fascist symbols. Zealous patriots attack journalists, opposition activists, and anyone suspected of betraying the motherland.
Hordes of online trolls and sleek videos of angry young men urge citizens to join the cause. State television terrifies viewers with false tales of anti-Russian conspiracies and genocidal yearnings. Child soldiers proudly parade across Red Square.
This is Russia in the 2020s: a land of performative rage and nationalist untruth, where pretence and broken promises are a way of life, and an apocalyptic mindset is seizing tomorrow's Russians.
As compelling as it is chilling, Z Generation shows how Russia has ended up here, and where its young people may be headed: a fascist generation more violent and ideological than anything the country has seen before.
‘An unflinching and essential portrayal of the Putler Jugend with all its paradoxes and sadism.’ — Peter Pomerantsev, author of Nothing is True and Everything is Possible: Adventures in Modern Russia
‘If you thought Putin’s Russia was an ideology-free kleptocracy and most Russians are ashamed of or opposed to the invasion of Ukraine, read Ian Garner’s gripping historical-cultural analysis of the descent of a portion of Russia’s youth into fascist euphoria in support of their country’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.’ — Maria Popova
Our speaker: Ian Garner's research focuses on Soviet and Russian war propaganda. The author of Stalingrad Lives: Stories of Combat and Survival, he studied at the Universities of Bristol and Toronto, and at the St. Petersburg State Conservatory.


Payment deferrals were a lifeline for millions of people during Covid. What happens when these end?
But as more people are vaccinated and the country sees a return to normal life on the horizon, payments of trillions of dollars of these debts could resume soon, even if debtors remain out of work or in financial difficulty due to the economic crisis brought on by the ‘epidemic.
Experts in consumer finance and regulation, as well as Democratic lawmakers, warn that the coming debt crisis will be catastrophic for many people and could be a huge boon to predatory financial institutions like debt agents. collection and payday lenders – industries regulated by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, that President Joe Biden is trying to rebuild after being emptied under former President Donald Trump.
“As the pandemic draws to a close, there is a lot of debt distress: deferred rent, deferred mortgages, deferred student loans. We are basically living in suspended animation until the pandemic is over, ”said Howell Jackson, professor at Harvard Law School, an expert. on financial regulation and consumer protection who was a guest researcher at the CFPB from 2013 to 2015.
“And at some point there will be an extraordinary number of people who are very vulnerable to debt, and we will have big debt collection problems,” he said. “We have already seen problems during the pandemic with payday lenders. “
Last month, Biden extended both the foreclosure moratorium for homeowners and a program that allows homeowners to suspend mortgage payments until the end of June. Earlier, in one of his first steps as president, Biden had extended the ability for borrowers to suspend their federal student loan payments through end of September, affecting around 40 million borrowers.
Many utility companies also voluntarily allowed consumers to suspend payments on electricity and gas bills during the economic crisis.
Consumer advocates have praised these measures, as well as measures under the American rescue plan which provides direct financial assistance to these people. But for many, the relief and deferrals are not enough, and even if Biden extends the windows further to not make payments, those will eventually close as well. And when they do, Jackson and others have warned that the total amount to be recovered could be staggering.
“Those forbearance periods will eventually end. And when they do, there could be millions of families unable to start paying mortgages, car payments, credit cards, student loans again, who could be at risk. losing their homes, their cars, having their wages and bank accounts garnished, who will struggle to put food on the table and take care of their families, ”said David Silberman, who was associate director of research , markets and regulations of the CFPB since its creation until February 2020.
In fact, at the end of February, almost a year after the start of the pandemic, 1 in 5 tenants were behind on payments, and more than 10 million homeowners were behind on mortgage payments.
More, an “avalanche” of student loan borrowers could soon default on their loans after the deferral period for those payments closes, Rohit Chopra, Biden’s candidate for head of the CFPB, warned lawmakers during his confirmation hearing this month.
Across industries, people of color face greater economic distress and will bear the brunt of the next wave of defaults.
According to the latest Household census survey, 18% of Hispanic borrowers, 17% of black borrowers, 18% of Asian borrowers, and 7.3% of white borrowers were not up to date with their mortgage payments. According to The data, 33 percent of black renters were behind on their rent payments, along with 20 percent of Hispanic renters, 16 percent of Asian renters, and 13 percent of white renters.
Student borrowers of color, meanwhile, are more likely to have taken on larger loans and face a salary cap when they finally enter the workforce – what Chopra called a “double whammy.” “during his confirmation hearing.
As payments become due later this year, cash-strapped employees will likely have to rely on payday lenders, experts warned, while unemployed and underpaid people could face the wrath of aggressive debt collectors.
Democratic experts and lawmakers, including Senator Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Who helped set up the agency during the Obama administration, have repeatedly stated that the CFPB is uniquely equipped to help struggling borrowers cope with these results. But that’s only if Biden is able to rebuild the agency to give it some bite.

“All of this explains why we need to make sure this agency is up and running and going back to how it was before.” [under Obama] as quickly as possible, ”Ohio Senate Banking Committee Chairman Sherrod Brown said in an interview.
The agency could help strengthen the regulation of the payday lending industry – many of which were canceled during the Trump era –And he could resume the strict enforcement of aggressive debt collection practices, which were not frequently applied under Trump.
While the agency cannot prevent debt collection or payday loans, it can significantly reduce the predatory nature of the practices by ensuring that existing rules are enforced forcefully and fairly and by writing new rules. Existing rules govern the type of contact collectors can make with consumers (and how often) and the pressure they can exert – forcing collectors to tell the truth about the debts they seek – as well as how collectors report non-payments to credit bureaus.
Jackson of Harvard said that many debts also have a statute of limitations and become invalid after a certain period of time.
“It is essential to make sure that consumers know they have rights in this area,” he said. “There are many substantial protections in the area of debt collection. “
Silberman, who worked at the agency for nearly a decade, said: “At the very least, the CFPB can ensure that these consumers are treated fairly by their creditors and by debt collectors.
“This does not necessarily mean that they will not ultimately suffer negative consequences. Ultimately, the federal government will have to decide if and how it can provide more aid and relief,” he said. “But the agency, if strong, can ensure fair treatment under the law for some of our most financially vulnerable consumers.”

Game #4 – CGY @ VGK – Feb. 21, 2018
A new franchise has been born. For the first time since 2000, we’ll be having a brand new NHL team. The Vegas Golden Knights are the first expansion team in 17 years. And it’s always fun seeing a brand new NHL team come to life.
The Flames will be playing their first game against the Golden Knights at the Saddledome in January, but they’ll be playing their first ever regular season game in Sin City on Feb. 21st, 2018. And people from Calgary are already planning trips to Vegas for that week.
Last night, the Golden Knights played their first ever regular season game, where in a slightly poor attempt (compared to their opponents, the Dallas Stars), Marc-Andre Fleury somewhat bailed them out and him alongside James Neal, brought them to their first ever win in their first ever game. This is the first time that an expansion team has won in their first ever game since the Ottawa Senators in 1992.
While nobody expects the Golden Knights to excel that much this year (like we saw last night with the Stars managing 46 SOG), and you never really do with brand new teams, it’s still fun seeing a new team come to life. The last time a new NHL team was born, I was only five years old. So I can actually experience it this time.
The Calgary Flames will also face off against a former teammate who was taken in the Expansion Draft, Deryk Engelland.

Commuter Rail Schedule Changes - Effective Monday, April 7
So as a lot of commuter rail riders expected, the Worcester line's recent schedule change was not going to be the only schedule change for 2008. I received a flyer from my employer announcing scheduled changes for the Fairmont, Franklin, Greenbush, Needham, Plymouth-Kingston, Middleboro-Lakeville, and Providence-Stoughton lines.
The notice that I received at work came around as a PDF. I've recreated part of the document as an image so I could share on the blog. I know the information may not be super clear, but I'll be on the lookout for the new schedule announcement. New schedules will be available on the MBTA and MBCR web sites on Wednesday, March 26.

patriot act article
In her article, Cathy Zeljak maintains the Patriot Take action has infringed on Americans’ civil liberties, particularly the Last Amendment’s protections against against the law searches and surveillance. Making use of the recent history of legal decisions on law enforcement agencies’ information-gathering practices, mcdougal argues the Patriot Action strips individuals of the legal protections they received back in the 1970s.
Throughout the piece, your woman asks, “Are we compromising essential liberties in the fight against terrorism? (Zeljak, 2005, p. 69), and her answer (the overriding thesis of this article) is “yes.
Zeljak argues the fact that Patriot Act undermines both Fourth Amendment and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance (FISA) Act, which was passed in 1978 to impose rules on government surveillance of personal citizens. Before, government security of individuals lacked obvious guidelines, and government agencies socialized arbitrarily consequently.
Supposed “threats, like antiwar activists and civil-rights leaders just like Martin Luther King, were frequently watched and bothered. The FISA Act was executed to curb these abuses and placed more legal guidelines upon federal surveillance, requiring that foreign brains had to be an initial cause for providing a justify to carry out surveillance on an individual.
However , the Patriot Work has taken off many of the FISA Act’s protections, now enabling warrants to be issued with foreign intellect purposes since only a tangential purpose, not a principal cause.
Additionally , law enforcement officials may well now seize a wider array of records, using the broad definition “any tangible thing (Zeljak, 2005, p. 70) instead of the thin lists particular by the FISA Act. The Patriot Act also allows government agencies to spy on innocent third parties as a way of obtaining information about major suspects, additional weakening the Fourth Amendment’s rights, and it allows firms to share details more openly, without enabling accused individuals known what evidence is available against these people.
In Mar 2002, FISC rejected Ruben Ashcroft’s plans to allow law enforcement officials broader entry to (and employ of) data gathered underneath the Patriot Work. In effect, says Zeljak, this “transferred primary rights far from individual citizens, greatly raising the specialist of cleverness and investigative agencies (Zeljak, 2004, g. 70). FISA warrants can easily thus be used for felony investigations without clear potential cause.
Zeljak also promises that, in spite of two courtroom defeats on this issue, the Bush government hopes to even more expand the surveillance and prosecutory forces with Patriot Act 2, which will automatically give federal brokers who execute illegal searches complete immunity and allow the federal government to deport American citizens identified guilty of aiding terrorist businesses.
Basically, the girl maintains, such an expansion in the Patriot Action would allow the government near-total freedom to execute investigations with few regulations, and would considerably reduce citizens’ rights and municipal liberties. Zeljak concludes the article by saying that “Americans must wonder whether were sacrificing necessary liberties in the fight against terrorism, and ends with a provocative question: inches… have the terrorists already won the beginning round? (Zeljak, 2005, p. 0)
Zeljak takes a clear position against the Patriot Act, great deal of thought a vrai violation of yankee citizens’ constitutionally-guaranteed rights against illegal security. She claims that the FISA Act provides essentially recently been gutted which plans to widen the Patriot Work would additional deprive citizens of legal protection, producing their privileges meaningless with the intention of intelligence gathering. Her ending question implies that, with the Patriot Act, democracy has been eroded.

CADIZ, Ky. (WTVF) — There's a new addition in one Kentucky city — it runs for more than a mile and is one ambitious undertaking. It's also important for a community proud of its hometown heroes.
If you've been to Cadiz, Kentucky you know exactly what you'll see all over the city.
"Pigs!" smiled Jeannie Bodine of the Purple Pig store, talking about the many concrete pigs in downtown Cadiz. "There's pigs on every corner. If you get a business, you get a pig. You get it painted. You want to make sure your pig outdoes everybody else's pig."
"Everybody wants to know why we have pigs," said Morgan Jones of the Cadiz Antique Mall.
"Country Ham Festival!" said Bodine.
"In the early 1900s, in Trigg County, hams were a way of life for most of the farmers," added Robert Brame of the Trigg County Historical and Transportation Museum.
Today, Bodine, Jones, Brame, and county magistrate Mike Wright will all tell you, besides the pigs, there's something else now drawing a lot of attention in Cadiz.
"Hometown heroes," said Jones.
"We have pictures of people who have lived in Trigg County who have served in our military, and we proudly display those on the street posts within the city," added Wright, referring to the many Cadiz Hometown Hero banners going through the city.
"There's flags from all the way back to World War I until present day," said Brame.
"It's gorgeous!" added Bodine.
"A couple years ago I was passing through this small town in upstate New York," said Wright. "They had these posts displayed on every post in town. I loved the idea so much. I took a picture, came home, brought it back to our city. It's called the Hometown Heroes Project."
"This is Burton Aldridge Jr.," said Brame, pointing up to one of the banners. "He and I were friends from the 3rd grade. I called him right away and said, 'you gotta come look at your picture!' He said he looked a whole lot younger!"
"My daddy is James Stagner," said Bodine. "He went into the Navy in 1941 after the bombing of Pearl Harbor."
She turned her attention to the picture of her dad on a banner downtown.
"It means the world," she said. "It makes me want to cry. He was my world. To see him so honored and in such a beautiful place, this would just tickle him to no end."
Wright said there are about 115 of these hometown heroes up now, and the city is constantly hearing from more people who want their loved one to have one too.
"I would like to see every post on every side street, every telephone pole; I'd like to see flags from everywhere we can display them," said Wright. "In a small town, when you know the veterans, and you know those who paid such a sacrifice, it makes it even more meaningful."

• Some are scarred by experience, while others are deterred by peers' experiences
Celebrities have recently been open on issues about marriage and reasons why some of them have decided to be single forever.
Marriage is a privilege that should be reserved for those who will honour it the way God intends.
It is a covenant that is sealed with the unbreakable pledge.
A pledge that still exists today: Till death do us part, in sickness and in health, in rich and in poor.
However, marriage isn't predictable, most people hope for the best but end the worst.
Author Maria Waweru released a book called 'Marriage is a Scam', which she wrote to shed light on everything about marriage.
In an interview with Word Is, Maria said when people get married, no one tells them the truth. It's either they go face the challenges or try and persevere or be happy.
In her book, she researched marriages, ranging from one year to 50-year-old marriages.
The mother of two has been married for five years and got advice from family members about marriage.
She said if she had gotten an honest book like hers, the first years of her marriage would have been easy.
Here is a list of celebrities who think marriage is not something they will ever consider.
Their decision came either after past experiences with marriage or from other people's ordeals.
Kiss FM's radio comedian said in an interview with SPM Buzz that he will never marry because it's a scam.
"Marriage is a scam."
Obinna is a father of four children from different baby mamas. He has never been married but he believes in love.
He added that he fears the 'character development' when a relationship dies.
"You meet new people, they meet new people, then I have to pretend that this is this way," he said.
"Unless it's marriage to a couple of people, yeah! But if it's marriage to the same person over a period of time, it's a scam.
"Because at some point, one person is going to fall out of love as they were before, and they'll want out like no, no, no, and it will be chaotic and messy. Because anytime there is a divorce, one party wants out, the other doesn't.
"So marriage is a NO."
Idah, alias Olive, is a former 'Mother-in-law' actress.
In May, she confessed to having been in a violent marriage.
She had gotten married to a churchman with the hopes of a safe relationship.
She briefly described the relationship as an abusive one to YouTuber Lynn Ngugi.
"The guy was 28 and I was 21. I did not know him much and I was at the peak of my career," she said.
"When I look back, I think we had trauma bonding. His dad was very abusive and so was my dad. At the time, I did not know much about trauma bonding. When you are raised in an abusive relationship, you either become the abuser or the victim."
Media personality Betty Kyallo said she will never walk down the aisle with any man.
Speaking on her reality show 'Kyallo Culture', she said she had been heartbroken many times to believe any relationship is permanent.
"If I am dating someone right now, I would be like, for today we are okay," she said.
Betty and Okari filed for divorce six months after the wedding.
She said she knew there would be pressure and backlash since they were both in the limelight, but she chose peace and happiness.
"The divorce changed my perception about marriage. We were so happy for four years, it didn't make sense that we were there only for six months inside the marriage," she said.
"If I get a nice guy who I think I would want to be my partner for life, I probably would not go down the aisle, I would just probably date, come we stay, or do a traditional wedding and leave it at that. I don't know but I feel like the white dress, there is something about that white dress."
Kajala announced that she regretted getting back together with singer Harmonize.
The split came just a few months after a publicised engagement.
Kajala announced that she had dumped the singer and that she failed her family and friends.
She said she had since learnt her lessons and would never repeat such a mistake.
Kajala also pulled down all the photos she ever took with her Harmonize and edited her socials to remove the tags that used to indicate she is Harmonize’s manager.
The two have also unfollowed each other on Instagram, an act that has further fuelled their breakup reports.

Wisconsin recently added a digital download tax. In an attempt to level the playing field between brick and mortar stores and Internet retailers. Wisconsin now requires sales tax to be collected on downloads of music, books and ring tones. If you are a merchant and currently include these products check with your accountant to make sure you are in compliance.
All merchants, regardless of products sold, are urged to contact a sales and use tax attorney to ensure they are in compliance with all of the current sales and use tax laws. As we have seen over the past several months, it is becoming more common for states to question the activities of out of state merchants. While the emphasis is sometimes on pending legislation, all states with a sales and use tax have current laws merchants must comply with. The current nexus definition in Wisconsin may impact many merchants as it includes solicitors and other representatives.
In addition to the digital download sales tax, Wisconsin passed other legislation that took effect October 1, resulting in many changes to sales and use tax laws. As a result of some of these changes, Wisconsin is the newest member of the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Project.
Like many states, Wisconsin is facing severe financial challenges. Wisconsin has a budget deficit of nearly $6 billion. With a deficit that large, it seems logical to assume they will be seeking revenue from many sources – including sales and use tax. Legislators have estimated that the digital download tax will bring in $6-11 million in additional revenue.

Cassandra was on the panel along with Senator Brownsberger and others talking to lawyers and students about the new law they helped get passed for April 13, 2018. This was the largest criminal justice bill passed in the state of Massachusetts in a decade.
The coalition for JobsNotJails became a serious advocate for this law. Cassandra Bensahih along with others shared her story along with other members of the post incarcerated community to get the legislature to work together to change these laws.
These were laws that created a barrier to lifestyles that would produce a better outcome for those returning to society after incarceration.
This book contains the law and a break down of each new law:
Cassandra Bensahih was mentioned in the book, right before Senator William N. Brownsberger:
Cassandra was said to quote:
“I was proud to be mentioned in this law program what was shared with lawyers from all over Massachusetts. This book will service as a quick reference to them on the newest criminal justice reforms in our state.”


Will you be among the lucky ones?
Mayor Edwin Olivarez
It's nice to see them beyond a digital screen.
The city hall doesn't forget even the well-off during the pandemic.
Mayor Edwin Olivarez had to go around Parañaque to see things are in order, so he also got creative in how he can get himself protected.
Parañaque Mayor Edwin Olivarez has no plans to place the city under a hard lockdown even if a barangay has one of the highest numbers of COVID-19 cases in Metro Manila.
Patience is the key.
Mayor Edwin Olivarez had great news for Parañaque residents and workers.

In this study, a set of images were taken using the CANON EOS M5 digital camera, while the internal calibration parameters–horizontal and vertical focal length (fx, fy), principal point coordinates (x0, y0), radial distortion coefficients (K1, K2, K3), tangential distortion coefficients (P1, P2) and the affinity and the shear terms (b1, b2) were estimated. These parameters were calculated using different software applications and then analyzed. For the calibration procedure, 3D texture models were built with the Agisoft commercial software based on: (a) the aforementioned calibration parameters and (b) the self-calibration process. The overall accuracy (Root Mean Square–RMS) between these models, by comparing known geo-referenced ground-control-points (GCP) is presented through the Cloud Compare software. The results indicate that the internal calibration parameters of the digital camera used for documentation purposes are essential and should be systematically implemented for documentation purposes.||URI:||https://ktisis.cut.ac.cy/handle/10488/19403||ISSN:||2279-7254||DOI:||10.1080/22797254.2020.1810131||Rights:||© The Author(s).||Type:||Article||Affiliation :||Cyprus University of Technology

The Atlanta Hawks enjoyed an off day on Tuesday but the “real” fun begins on Wednesday afternoon. In fact, Atlanta is involved in the first Summer League Tournament game of the 2017 campaign as the team squares off in a rematch with the New Orleans Pelicans.
After an opening loss, the Hawks have been quite effective on the floor in the last two games and they have been led by DeAndre’ Bembry and John Collins. Second round draft pick Tyler Dorsey suffered an injury on Monday and may not be available but, aside from that, all system appear to be a “go” for the tournament run.
Stay tuned throughout the afternoon/evening and join us in discussing the action.
Game Date/Time: Wednesday, July 12th, 4:00 pm ET
Location: Cox Pavilion, Las Vegas, Nevada
TV: NBA TV (Online)

Britain’s new prime minister, Liz Truss, pledged her full support to Ukraine on Tuesday in an appeal to President Volodymyr Zelensky shortly after taking office.
“During her first conversation with a colleague since she became prime minister, she reiterated to the Ukrainian leader that he had her full support and that Ukraine could count on the UK’s help for the long term,” a spokeswoman said.
They also discussed “the need to strengthen global security and the measures needed to cut off the funds that fuel (Russian President Vladimir) Putin’s war machine,” the spokeswoman said.
“Leaders deplored Putin’s attempts to use energy as a weapon, and the prime minister said it was vital that Russia’s blackmail did not stop the West from causing Putin to fail.”
Britain has been a staunch ally of Ukraine since Russia launched the invasion on February 24.
London has funneled military hardware, funding and training resources to Kiev’s armed forces, which are now fighting in the south and east of the country.

Oisin Hanrahan’s last startup raised $100 million to make your daily life a lot easier. Over the years he has started, built and sold multiple ventures.
In our exclusive interview on the DealMakers Podcast, he opened up and shared the keys to getting started, how to navigate funding rounds, and finding a great exit.
The Ultimate Guide To Pitch Decks
Here is the content that we will cover in this post. Let’s get started.
The Undergrad Awards
Oisin was born in Dublin, Ireland. He was always interested in business and how markets worked. He always knew that he wanted to start and build something of his own.
He took up studying business and economics at Trinity. Studies that he says gave him great insight beyond the math to behavior and how people think, interact and drive markets.
Hungary just joined the EU, along with several other Eastern European countries. Looking for opportunities to build a valuable real estate business, Hanrahan began traveling them. He found a sweet spot in building and renovating apartments, increasing density, adding new spaces, and a business that would benefit the residents, local economy and investors.
After selling out these projects, he started a small political technology company and launched the nonprofit Undergrad Awards. Now one of the largest programs of its type in the world.
He then went to study at the London School of Economics before joining top tier VC, Accel for a year.
Inside The Mind Of A VC
At Accel Hanrahan had the opportunity to work on an early Google and Uber competitor Halo. That digital marketplace business became the catalyst for one of his own successful companies, Handy.
Working with Accel gave Oisin the insight of how investors look at startups, their pattern recognition, and what determines their choice to fund a venture or not.
Although he found some investors put more emphasis on one of these factors than another, it all comes down to these three things.
Their most pressing questions are:
- The size of the addressable market?
- What’s unique about this business?
- What’s special about this team and their solution?
Gaining this perspective certainly made it easier for this founder to tell the right story when it came to raising money for his own venture. As well as the fact that some of the people he worked with here ended up spreading out to Highland Capital and General Catalyst, giving him great connections to raise pre-seed and seed rounds.
Location: Where To Start Your Startup
Handy launched to fill a gap in the market for home services. Services that you can now get at the touch of a button. Handy first launched in Boston, before quickly expanding to New York City. Decisions that turned out very well for the young and fast-growing startup.
The summer after his first year in business school Oisin and his cofounder started working on their project. They began getting more traction and demand in NYC and opened there.
Choosing the location for your startup is normally always a tradeoff. Hanrahan says some of the key factors that might influence where you startup include:
- Proximity to specialized talent
- Need for capital
Taxes may also be a substantial factor. One that could become even more pivotal after the next election.
One of the biggest drivers in Handy’s location choice was to be as close as possible to customers. Many others have found that starting out in bubbles like the Bay Area created an illusion of it working, before finding they really couldn’t scale beyond those borders.
Handy embedded themselves in their biggest market. Oisin says that made it easier to determine the best go to market strategy, and how customers were using the service. It enabled them to get out there and talk to customers and understand them.
Building A Marketplace Business
My last startup was also a marketplace business. They can be very unique, and have additional challenges for entrepreneurs. It’s the chicken and egg debate. Choosing which side to focus on first, and finding balance soon enough to keep early users happy, engaged and sharing.
Oisin Hanrahan says the best path may change with the times. When they started there was heavy unemployment due to the Great Recession. Hundreds of pros were lining up to provide their services through the platform. While consumers were more cash strapped than ever.
Starting a business like this today may require a different approach. When there is zero unemployment and pros are picky about who they work for, but consumers are flush but time-strapped, it can be easier to build the buyers.
Surviving Tough Decisions
Success as an entrepreneur is never guaranteed. The one thing you are promised is to run into plenty of dead ends, reasons to tweak things and tough decisions.
See How I Can Help You With Your Fundraising Or Acquisition Efforts
- Fundraising or Acquisition Process: get guidance from A to Z.
- Materials: our team creates epic pitch decks and financial models.
- Investor and Buyer Access: connect with the right investors or buyers for your business and close them.
Handy went to the lengths of creating a culture book for their company. A hundred-page slide deck and public document that laid out their values, mission and more. This makes it a lot easier to make the right decisions, even when they are incredibly hard. It makes it easy for your team to understand, see the logic, and stay on board, even when you are letting other people go.
Over four rounds Handy raised more than $100 million from great investors. Their seed round enabled them to prove it was an idea people cared about. It also meant more competitors trying to piggyback on their success. So, Series A and B rounds quickly became about dominating the market. Then the Series C provided the funds to optimize, improve, and create profit margins. Then go onto expanding into new channels.
Storytelling is everything which is something that Oisin was able to master. Being able to capture the essence of what you are doing in 15 to 20 slides is the key. For a winning deck, take a look at the pitch deck template created by Silicon Valley legend, Peter Thiel (see it here) where the most critical slides are highlighted.

The Walt Disney Co. put the prowess of its big-screen brands on full display Saturday at its D23 fan expo, offering early glimpses of highly anticipated projects such as “A Wrinkle in Time,” “Mary Poppins Returns” and a live-action version of “The Lion King” in addition to upcoming juggernauts in the universes of Marvel superheroes and Star Wars.
Taking the stage at the Anaheim Convention Center, Walt Disney Studios Chairman Alan Horn reminded the crowd of 8,000 attendees of the studio’s recent successes, noting that the top five films of 2016 — “Finding Dory,” “The Jungle Book,” “Star Wars: Rogue One,” “Zootopia” and “Captain America: Civil War” — were all released by Disney, and that the top money-maker of the year so far is the live-action version of “Beauty and the Beast.”
Hoping to keep that box office momentum going, the studio, along with an arsenal of A-listers including Oprah Winfrey, Mark Hamill and Robert Downey Jr., unveiled an impressive slate of future projects in the two-hour panel, reinforcing its current dominant position at the top of the Hollywood-studio heap.
Here were some highlights:
‘A Wrinkle in Time’
Disney debuted the first trailer for its adaptation of Madeleine L’Engle’s classic sci-fi novel, promising a blend of coming-of-age tale and a cosmic adventure — or as director Ava DuVernay described it, “a family story wrapped in an epic adventure where you see worlds you’ve never seen before.”
Joining the director were the film’s stars, including Reese Witherspoon, Mindy Kaling, Chris Pine and Winfrey, who got the crowd riled up in signature Oprah fashion by promising everyone posters for the film: “You get a poster! You get a poster! You get a poster!”
Winfrey, who plays the wise, mysterious Mrs. Which, said she had never read the book before being approached by DuVernay about the role. “But when Ava mentioned it to me and told me it was a character who is one of the wisest women in the universe and is an angelic celestial being who is going to get to wear amazing costumes and get to work with Reese and Mindy as part of the Mrs. team — who wouldn’t say yes to that?”
‘Mary Poppins Returns’
Tinkering with a hallowed classic can be treacherous business with a…
