Tierney will become the most expensive Scottish player in history when he pens a £75,000, five-year contract.
"He is a well known player and adds to our defensive strength".
The defender was a regular under Maurizio Sarri last term and it appeared he would again play a key role under new boss Frank Lampard. In May, shortly before he anchored Chelsea to a 4-1 Europa League final win over Arsenal, he described Emery as "a great guy, a great coach, a great person".
In further breaking news regarding Arsenal, meanwhile, as confirmed by the ever-reliable David Ornstein a short time ago, Everton have struck a deal with the capital giants over the signing of Alex Iwobi. Unai Emery was very keen to bring in the Scotsman to the Emirates for the right cost and eventually they have succeeded in clinching the deal at the third attempt. People need to know that as well. I'm delighted to be here.
He told Sky Sports: "He would be a better left-back than what Arsenal now have".
Elneny has been recently linked with a move away from North London with several European clubs reportedly showing interest in the Egyptian.
The Scotland worldwide clocked up an enormous 170 appearances in all competitions with Celtic during his short career, helping Celtic win five league titles, three Scottish Cups and three League Cups. He made his debut for the club as a 17-year-old in 2015 and has experience playing in the Champions League and Europa League from his time in Scotland.
The 25 million-pound transfer fee makes Tierney, the most expensive player to be signed from the Scottish Premiership, surpassing the 20 million pounds Olympique Lyonnais paid Celtic for centre forward Moussa Dembele past year.

Founding member of Memphis, Tennessee hip-hop group Three 6 Mafia, Lord Infamous, has died. The 40-year-old rapper was found dead in his mother’s home in Memphis on Friday night US time, with fellow Three 6 Mafia member Gangsta Boo breaking the news via Twitter the next morning.
“Rest in Peace Lord Infamous please respect the family and dear friends during this tragedy (sic),” wrote Gangsta Boo in his tweet. Fellow crew member Juicy J likewise extended condolences to his fallen friend via Twitter, along with a raft of other rappers including Lil Wyte and Bun B.
Lord Infamous, real name Ricky Dunigan, was the half-brother of fellow Three 6 Mafia member DJ Paul, who confirmed the cause of death as a heart attack to The Hollywood Reporter. “He’ll be remembered as a legend, everybody knew him as a legend, an icon,” Paul told the magazine.
“He passed away in his sleep from a heart attack… He said he was tired, he wanted to sleep. He sat down at the kitchen table, put his head in his arms to lay down…to get some sleep,” Paul explained. Paul learned of Dunigan’s death via phone calls from the rapper’s mother and girlfriend.
Dunigan joined Three 6 Mafia at its inception in 1991, going on to score underground hits such as 2000′s Sippin’ on Some Syrup and crossover singles such as 2005′s Stay Fly and It’s Hard Out Here for a Pimp from the Hustle & Flow soundtrack, which won an Oscar for Best Original Song.
UPDATE: Dunigan’s half-brother, DJ Paul, has opened up about the rapper’s legacy in a new interview with XXL magazine, describing him as “the nicest dude in the world” and crediting him, along with the rest of the Three 6 Mafia crew, as “one of the creators of crunk.”
“He was one of the creators of crunk and the whole dark sound music with 808s and repetitive hooks that we did. All the drugs and the stuff that we talked about before rappers were even ready to do it… The whole crunk thing–the whole sound of the dirty South…it’s nationwide.”
Speaking about his brother as a person, he says, “He was telling his momma last week that he wanted to get right with everybody that he ever made mad in his life. But he never made anybody mad because everybody loved him… He was the nicest dude in the world.”
“Lately, he was so happy about everything that was going on like the regroup of the crew,” he adds. “That was his idea. He fought for that with me. He was like, ‘We got to do this.’ It was supposed to be just me and him… But he wanted to do the group thing first, with the whole group.”
Asked about a stroke Dunigan suffered in 2010, DJ Paul says, “He seemed like he was all right. He just had to walk with a cane. He got his speech back together; he was getting over the whole cane situation. He started to dance on stage, wildn’ just like usual.”
“It hasn’t hit me yet. It’s real sad. But I’m happy that he went peacefully because he was asleep and he wasn’t hurt, because anyone who knew him, anyone who grew up with him know he escaped death a gazillion times,” Paul told HipHopDX.
A new report from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) shows that MDMA-related visits have increased by a shocking 129 percent in just the last six years. The report also indicates that visits among individuals younger than 21 years has jumped from 4,460 in 2005 to over 10,000 in 2011.
“These findings raise concerns about the increase in popularity of this potentially harmful drug, especially in young people. Ecstasy is a street drug that can include other substances that can render it even more potentially harmful. We need to increase awareness about this drug’s dangers and take other measures to prevent its sue,” Peter Delany, MD, SAMSHA’s director of the Center for Behavioral Health and Statistics and Quality said, via a press release.
The Drug Policy Alliance notes that a typical dose of MDMA (also known as Molly) is around 100 to 125 mg and typically lasts four to six hours. The effects of the drug resemble both stimulants and psychedelics, according to the organization.
As more throughout the United States are using the product, especially in the club seen, health organizations note that the drug can cause body temperature to increase to a dangerously high levels that may increase the risk of renal and cardiac failure.
This pure form of ecstasy is often mixed with high amounts of alcohol, which can also be linked to higher rates of distortion of sense or perception of time.
And unfortunately, the drug is often popularized in music and by many celebrities, despite ample cause for concern with the illegal compounds.
August 15 2013
A push is on in Hennepin County to allow sheriff’s deputies to carry an antidote to heroin and other opiates that can be given to someone who is overdosing.
The proposal being addressed Tuesday afternoon before a state legislative committee comes amid a wave of heroin overdose fatalities in Minnesota. Last year, there were 35 people in Hennepin and Ramsey counties who died of heroin overdoses, according to state health records.
Heroin and other opiates, including prescription drug abuse, killed 129 people in the two counties in 2012.
The antidote is called Narcan. Hennepin County Sheriff Rich Stanek will join state DFL Sen. Chris Eaton, of Brooklyn Center, at the Senate hearing in urging the creation of new laws that would allow deputies to administer Narcan.
In Wisconsin, the La Crosse Fire Department is first in line for a yearlong pilot program to train firefighters to use naloxone. It’s been done in New York and Massachusetts, also, where cities have since reported decreases in overdose deaths.

WEST HOLLYWOOD (CBSLA.com) — River Phoenix was remembered Thursday night, 20 years after the actor’s death outside a popular West Hollywood nightclub.
The 23-year-old, known for his roles in “Stand by Me,” “Running on Empty” and “My Own Private Idaho,” died of a drug overdose outside of the Viper Room, which was then owned by Johnny Depp, on Halloween night in 1993.
Fans marked the tragedy by placing candles, flowers and cards outside of the club.
“Solemn day for all of us in remembrance of what happened here,” said Brad Robinson, the Viper Room’s operations manager. “We try to honor him in everything we do.”
Phoenix was hanging out with other stars, including Depp and Christina Applegate, on the fateful night. It was inside the club where he suffered drug-induced convulsions.
“It was a very shocking thing. He was such a wonderful, uprising star…it was…

The ‘That ’70s Show’ star, who played Laurie on the sitcom, died on Aug. 14, 2013, at the tender age of 43. She passed away in her sleep. She was being treated for alcoholism, something that had developed into an issue for her in recent years. However, foul play has since been ruled out as a cause of death, although it was initially suspected as a possible factor in her passing.
The singer and actor, 31, was beloved as Finn Hudson on ‘Glee’ and adored by his onscreen and real-life love Lea Michele. But he was not without his demons, as he checked into rehab in the spring to treat his addiction issues once again. He died of an overdose a few months later and was discovered in a Vancouver hotel room on July 13, 2013, devastating fans and the TV community. His ‘Glee’ character was killed off to coincide with Monteith’s death.
In early 2011, Hanneman contracted necrotizing fasciitis. Reports linked this illness with a spider bite he claimed to have received while in a friend’s hot tub.
In light of his illness and Slayer’s upcoming participation in the Australian Soundwave Festival tour that was set to begin on February 26, 2011, the band made the decision to play the dates without Hanneman, and on February 16, 2011, brought on Gary Holt (guitarist of the band Exodus) to fill in for him. Pat O’Brien joined as Slayer’s temporary second guitarist when Holt left the tour to play with Exodus. In 2012, bandmate Tom Araya announced a recovery from the disease. However, later in February 2013, Kerry King revealed continuing health problems that kept Hanneman from working.
Hanneman died of liver failure on May 2, 2013, in a Southern California hospital near his home. On May 9, 2013, the official cause of death was announced as alcohol-related cirrhosis. Hanneman and his family had apparently been unaware of the extent of the condition until shortly before his death
The Kris Kross rapper, 34, was a mega star in the early ’90s as one-half of the backwards-dressing teen duo. He died on May 1, 2013 in Atlanta and was found unresponsive in his home. Kelly, who was ‘Mac Daddy’ when active in the duo, had an extensive history of drug abuse, which was believed to have lead to his death. That’s Kelly on the left in the image.

I thought it’d be fun to see Cooler topped by a smaller Saiya-jin, and Gohan seemed like a good option since he’s in that movie (albeit younger). I figured it’d make sense for him to get fucked by an older, Super Saiya-jin Gohan, since Super Saiya-jins are apparently the greatest weakness of Frieza and Cooler’s race.
It’s a long story, but recently I started offering something I’m calling a “Master Mini Commission”. They work the same as Mini Commissions, but with a higher character limit and drawn less often. They’re randomly selected, but the very first one to get picked happened to be two of my OCs with the Butt Witch. In the fanfic section of my site there’s currently two fics pairing Misia, a goddess from my fantasy comic Eromugen, with Josh Bate from Applebridge. The person who got those fics written is the same one who submitted this MMC idea, but this time with the Butt Witch thrown in for some added fun. This is a crossover that would’ve never occurred to me, I suspect, but I hope you all enjoy it.
This is another commission by one of my fans of Dark Mangaka (https://the-dark-mangaka.fanbox.cc/ | https://subscribestar.adult/the-dark-mangaka), pairing up Josh Bate and Misia again. I think it’s interesting how this crossover within my OCs has gotten so much content, and due to the same fan you’ll be seeing more of them from me pretty soon.
I don’t watch Fairy Tail, so I don’t know much about these two’s dynamic. I assume they’re not that different than most protag couples, though. I know people will probably like seeing them together, even though I’ll likely never draw Fairy Tail content on my own. An Ask like this is the only real reason I’d draw this pairing, so I figured I’d go ahead and use it for that.
I’m always excited to see characters I like who don’t get much attention getting questions. Part of why I picked the previous Ask was to get more exposure for Kaori, and similarly here I’m happy to see Judy Ken Sebben/Birdgirl getting a question. I tried to think of a fun way to incorporate the “seed” pun, but in the end I couldn’t come up with anything I liked. Birdgirl in the show is much more amorous than her Judy side, so I thought maybe just working it into her crimefighting would be fun. This is the first time I’ve drawn Birdgirl as Birdgirl, but I also have new Judy content coming soon enough that I hope some of you will be looking forward to!
I was happy to see an Ask for the other of the two Bible Black ladies in the Studio. I did consider using her New Testament design, since I prefer it, but I felt like I had to go with her original look since that’s how I drew her before. I wasn’t really feeling the idea of showing Kaori doing more witchcraft in the Studio… I kinda feel like she wouldn’t feel the need to as much as she did in the anime. However, I did like the idea of her partnering up with one of the witch characters we’ve got lying around. There were many fine options, but I knew if Kaori went looking for a witch to help her with her Ask, Eda would basically throw herself at her to get the spot. So here we are, a Disney television cartoon crossing over with probably the most prolific hentai.
Normally, when I combine multiple questions for one Ask, it’s questions from different Subscribers that pair well together or cover a similar topic. In this case, I took two from one person, because they both felt like half of a good Ask, in a way. One had a sexy visual component (posing/presenting ass) and the other something to talk about (discussing the NHS Calendar), but both were lacking in the other half. So here we are, Shinra showing his ass while talking about the calendar. I’ve only seen the first episode of Fire Force, but I assume the calendar referenced here is based on the old firefighter calendar trope that goes back a while. Shinra himself is nowhere near getting into the NHS Calendar, however I thought it’d be something for him to address this so close to his recent Dare.

The votes are in, and everyone agrees - this black-and-white beauty wins Miss Photogenic. Meet Princess Cheeto, the cat that is “all that and a bag of chips!” I know that's corny, but with a name like Princess Cheeto, you should have expected it.
Princess Cheeto is meow-tastic and has everyone saying "follow this cat" to their fellow Instagrammers! Check out some of her rave reviews!
“the most purrfect cat of the year.”
“Whether she has a pink wig on, or she is wrapped as a sushi roll, you can’t help but feel that this cat might actually be the coolest feline out there.”
— Taste the Style
Princess Cheeto's human, Hugo Martinez, adopted her in 2012, and his life has never been the same since. Martinez, who is a self-described "Cheeto-grapher" also works full time as a photographer. He soon discovered that photographing Princess Cheeto was the purr-fect creative outlet and now it is a daily ritual of fun!
The pictures may look to be quite complicated, and many of them appear to include props that a cat may not enjoy at all. Don't worry about Princess Cheeto though, Martinez edits the photos after the photo shoot, and there is never any harm to the black-and-white star!
One of my favorite photos that Princess Cheeto and Martinez did is the one, below, of Ms. Cheeto and Tortoro. How can you possibly go wrong with a cat and Tortoro? There are so many amazing shots to choose from. Do you have a favorite?

A Macclenny man facing a DUI in Jacksonville stemming from an incident in August during which he ran over and killed another man was re-arrested for the same offense in Baker County early on November 25.
Brian Patterson, 32, refused to submit to a breathalyzer test at county jail after he was arrested in downtown Macclenny, and he earlier failed routine field sobriety testing, said Deputy Daryl Mobley.
The officer said he observed Mr. Patterson’s speeding 1996 Chevrolet pickup abruptly stop at the intersection of US 90 and Lowder St. about 2:45 am. Deputy Mobley said he initiated a traffic stop after observing the pickup twice veer into the shoulder lane as it traveled east on US 90.
Two beers, one of them unopened, were inside the vehicle.
Mr. Patterson was charged with drunk driving in October after Jacksonville authorities learned his blood alcohol level was .127 the night of August 10 when he ran over Taylor Evans, 22, outside the Jacksonville Landing.
Anything above .08 is considered intoxicated.
Greg Allen Johnson, 26, is charged with murder in the same incident. Police said he was pummeling Mr. Patterson from outside his pickup truck in a parking lot, and Mr. Evans was on the hood.
When Mr. Patterson abruptly backed up, the victim apparently fell to the ground and was run over when he reversed direction and sped from the scene. He was stopped minutes later in downtown Jacksonville.
Mr. Evans died at Shands Jacksonville several days later. The fight was one of several that police said broke out after the popular Maverick’s bar at the Landing closed at 2 am.

I was listening to the recent interviews and at the 15 minute mark of Alibaba and the Globalist Thieves, there was the discussion of the Clintons from the 1990s coupled with murder by Chinese tyrants. That triggered a memory.
I began searching my archives concerning a group of U.S. military patriots who had discovered the Clinton’s treason with China back in 1995.
As noted in your video interview, the Clintons had indeed been selling American technology to the Chinese. These American military officers, who had discovered the treason, intended to seek impeachment with their evidence. They were all murdered as they attempted to escape Washington D.C. and fly back to their own military base in Texas. If you have heard the story before, you can stop here.
If not…here is the rest of the story.
In February, 2017, I was listening to a Dr. Jim Willie interview (link is now broken: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VJZMzOvHw8, ). In the opening four minutes Dr. Willie shocked me with claims that on April 17th, 1995, President Clinton took out an American military coup intending to impeach him for treason due to the sale of military secrets to China. Dr. Willie indicated President Clinton, was also mixed up with a Fannie Mae fraud involving fraudulent bonds approaching one trillion dollars (link is now broken: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ahJxzpjogTc). Both issues were cornering the President in April of 1995. If this were true, and evidence was available, how could he get himself out of impeachment and prison? Would he ever be able to run for a second term in office?
It was time for me to see if Dr. Willie was off his rocker, or if, with Trump as President, he believed he could disclose facts which should rock the world. I jumped onto the internet to see if there was any evidence to support these incredible claims. Here is what I found. I have included six attachments with links. They appear to support Dr. Willie’s claims.
Support for Claims:
These attachments detail all aspects of the sabotage of the military plane with the loss of all passengers which I dug up. The military plane, with generals and other top military brass, flew out of Washington D.C., to return to Texas to strategize how they would disclose these revelations to the American public and pursue impeachment proceeding through Congress, conviction and ultimately have the Clintons sent to prison.
Once in the air, the Constitutional patriots, on a historically reliable Air Force C-21 Learjet, realized they were losing control of the plane. They made an emergency change for a military airport in Alabama. The jet crashed into a wooded area near Alexander City, Alabama, at about 6:30 p.m.
One eyewitness to the plane explosions reported what he saw: Jimmy Keel, who saw the plane coming down, said he could see the pilot was struggling. The plane flew just above the tree line. “It was coming in a straight line for my store, said Mr. Keel, who runs a bait and tackle shop. “I could see the pilot fighting the plane. He was in trouble. He fought it up, it went left, then right, then it exploded.”
Miranda Wyckoff, who lives nearby, told The Alexander City Outlook, “It sounded like an earthquake when it came over our house.” She said she heard three explosions, including one as the jet plunged to the ground. (again attachment 5)
This particular C-21 had been in the Air Force inventory since only 1984 with a good safe history. There were 80 aircraft in the fleet. The only other Air Force C-21 crash was recorded back in January 1987.
Among those killed were: Clark G. Fiester, (attachment 4) Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for acquisitions; Air Force Major General Glenn A. Profitt II (attachment 4); Major Hubert B. Fisher (attachment 4) who researched sensitive information technologies. Families of the victims of the airplane explosion were not permitted to retrieve any belongings nor be given any details of what happened. A heavily-censored story was given to the Main Stream Media (MSM) to distribute. Such as, “High Air Force official mourned after jet crash”
How was America distracted from the sabotaged military airplane crash.
No one paid any attention to this story because, two days later, on the early morning of April 19, 1995, the Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City was blown up killing 168 additional men, women and children. It was never made public that documents proving President Clinton’s involvement in the Fannie Mae bond fraud were destroyed in the Murrah Federal Building as noted in Dr. Willie’s interview.
With the aid of the Corporate controlled Main Stream Media (MSM), President Clinton would win a second term in office. Hundreds of military officers, dedicated to the Constitution, would be fired from the military under Clinton, President Bush and President Obama cabal over the ensuing twenty years.
I learned from Dr. Willie other military patriots did not give up hope for America. Behind the scenes they worked to break the hold of international elites on the Presidency. They worked under America First. This story possibly explains why Trump had come to power under the slogan, he repeated several times in his inaugural speech, America First!
What a remarkable time to be alive!

Pebble Time is an interesting smartwatch. This is a bit different from anything else out there in the sense that it’s super low-tech. There’s absolutely nothing flashy about it. As far as smartwatches go, this is as barebones as it gets, but is that bad thing?
I know what you may be thinking: why would you spend any significant amount of money on a gold Apple Watch? Well, this isn’t an Apple Watch Edition, but it’s the closest thing available to my wallet. This Apple Watch and Link Bracelet was beautifully plated with 18K gold and it looks stunning.
I’m not even a fan of gold, but I can definitely appreciate the beauty here. This is just about as classy as it gets if you’re into the style. Last week, this used to be an ordinary Apple Watch, but a few days with the people over at WatchPlate changed it for life. If you’re not into spending a boat load of cash on an Apple Watch Edition, this is the next best thing and quite possibly a better option…
Apple’s update to Watch OS 1.0.1 was intended to improve the performance of several fitness-related functions, but also appears to have introduced a bug. Instead of the Apple Watch recording your heart rate every ten minutes, many users – including myself – are seeing large gaps in the data.
My readings for yesterday afternoon and evening, shown above, contain four gaps of more than an hour. Two of these gaps span times when I was cycling, when the data would have been most relevant. Users in an Apple Support Communities thread (via EverythingCafe) are reporting the same thing … Read more
Pebble has updated its Kickstarter page, advising that the first batch of Pebble Time smartwatches will begin shipping on 27th May, and that all orders placed through Kickstarter will ship by mid-June.
Great news: the first batch of Pebble Time shipments are scheduled to go out Wednesday, May 27. With things moving along at this rate, we expect all Pebble Time Rewards to be manufactured by the end of the month […] Every backer with a Pebble Time included in their selected reward tier should receive a tracking number from us by mid-June.
Apple has begun charging for and preparing to ship the first orders of the 42MM Space Black stainless steel, Modern Buckle, Leather Loop, and international stainless steel Link Bracelet orders, according to reports from several readers. Standard Apple Watch with Link Bracelet orders started arriving in the United States yesterday…
Earlier today, fitness tracker hardware and software company Fitbit filed to go public on the New York Stock Exchange. Since the regulatory filing went public, observers have been scouring the paperwork for information on Fitbit’s financials, sales numbers, and notes about the competition. The Financial Times‘s Tim Bradshaw noticed that that Fitbit cites Apple and the recently-launched Apple Watch as the top billed competitor in the IPO Risk Factors section:
We got an early indication that Consumer Reports were impressed with the Apple Watch when they were unable to scratch the sapphire screen of the stainless steel model. The well-respected non-profit has now revealed that the full set of lab tests are complete, and the Apple Watch ranked top out of the 11 smartwatches tested.
Consumer reports tested the watches for durability, water-resistance, health functionality, readability in bright and low light, ease of use, and ease of interaction – though there was one slightly worrying moment for the Apple Watch Sport … Read more
Now that the stainless steel Apple Watch is becoming widely available, owners are beginning to post photos showing their shiny steel Watches have already developed scratches on the casing. Since Apple’s videos touted its steel as specially cold-forged to achieve superior hardness, people have been surprised to discover that the finish is easily scratched – many comparing it to the back of an iPod. While this isn’t shocking for 316L stainless steel, it is concerning to customers who just spent $549 or more on the mid-range Apple Watch. But don’t panic! As I’ll explain below, you can easily fix the scratches yourself for around $5…
I can’t remember if we’re still mad at Consumer Reports for Antennagate but they seem to be doing a thorough job at testing the Apple Watch as evidenced in the video below. Notable from their Day 1 tests is that the Apple Watch Sport screen does scratch but only after going pretty far down the Moh’s hardness scale (7-rated) into the unlikely to ever happen category.
The Sapphire Apple Watch however wouldn’t scratch under any circumstances, though it doesn’t appear that Consumer Reports had a diamond pick to test it against. Regardless, for intents and purposes, you likely will never see a scratch on the face of the Apple Watch (the back is a different matter)… Read more
Apple Watch has undoubtedly been a long time in the making, but it’s finally here. Today we’re taking a look at the Sport models to see exactly what you get for between $349 to $399. Apple’s strategy for rolling out this product line hasn’t been favored by everyone, but if you were one of the lucky people to place a preorder two weeks ago, here’s what you can expect…
I’m a self-confessed smartwatch skeptic. The first one I ever tried, the original Pebble, struck me as an extremely ugly solution in search of a problem. The Apple Watch, when it was finally announced, looked like a rather attractive (if too thick) solution in search of a problem.
Which raises the question: why was I up at the crack of 8 am (time zones can be useful things on occasion …) to order one? Three reasons … Read more
While hundreds of apps for the Apple Watch have been announced and detailed, screenshots of most of the major applications have yet to be revealed, until now. Developer Steven Troughton-Smith has created a tool to view screenshots of Apple Watch applications by pasting in the link to the existing iPhone application. Below, we’ve put together several galleries of several notable Apple Watch applications, including Twitter, Instagram, Uber, Starbucks, and Apple’s own Keynote presentation remote. We’ll be updating this post live as more application screenshots are discovered. WatchAware is also showcasing more interactive previews of over 2000 Apple Watch apps.

Flappy bird is the latest addition in the games segment of the Google Play which has gone viral since the day of launch.

The problem is that the Pergau dam affair threatens to undermine the credibility of the British aid programme by giving the impression that taxpayers' money is being wasted on projects the minister herself regards as uneconomic and bad for the environment (report, 2 February).
What concerns us most is that, at a time when we are struggling to respond with limited resources to humanitarian needs from Bosnia to Burundi, money is being wasted on dubious projects. The pounds 234m spent on Pergau would be better spent saving lives than destroying the environment and the reputation of UK aid.
If the Government is to restore public confidence in the aid programme, it must take steps to untie aid, open aid allocation procedures and take further action to ensure that the Overseas Development Administration's endeavours to put poor people first are not derailed by larger political and commercial interests.

To the Editor:
Re “Mayor’s Effort to Reduce Homelessness Is Off Pace, Study Says” (news article, Aug. 8):
When Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg released Uniting for Solutions Beyond Shelter, an ambitious five-year action plan to significantly reduce homelessness in New York City, he set aggressive targets for our agency and for the public and nonprofit partners we collaborate with to assist New Yorkers in need.
The Independent Budget Office, or the I.B.O., report suggests that there has not been public accountability on our progress to date. That couldn’t be further from the truth. Under the Bloomberg administration, the Department of Homeless Services is more transparent than ever before.
We post our shelter census daily on the agency Web site and update reports on more than 600 additional critical indicators each month. In fact, our publicly available data is what was used to conduct the I.B.O. analysis.
While we have fundamentally transformed the homeless services system, much work remains, and we will continue to work hard every day to prevent homelessness whenever possible, provide shelter when needed and ensure that our clients can quickly return to their communities.
Robert V. Hess
Commissioner, New York City
Department of Homeless Services
New York, Aug. 8, 2008
To the Editor:
No purpose is served by criticizing Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg for his progress in solving the continuing crisis of family homelessness. For more than two decades, previous administrations have been driven almost solely by crisis management, with virtually no effort to solve the problem.
That’s why New Yorkers gave the proverbial thumbs up to Mayor Bloomberg for announcing at the start of his administration what we all believed was a thoughtful and far-reaching plan to reform the city’s shelter system and focus on homeless prevention.Continue reading the main story
While prevention strategies, especially the expansion of community-based services, are critical to keeping people in their homes, the mayor is dealing with entrenched structural problems that require an investment of resources over time to end homelessness.
As a start, we must address our city’s dire shortage of affordable housing. Without housing as the base, the mayor’s plan to reduce family homelessness will be illusory.

Report: Co. provided bad bolts on Carquinez Bridge
VALLEJO — A report says the company hired to build the tower and decks of the new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge supplied hundreds of thousands of bolts of the wrong size for another Bay Area bridge project.
The finding is contained in a California Senate report released on Wednesday about the construction of the Bay Bridge’s new eastern span.
It says the 250,000 incorrectly-sized bolts were made by Chinese company, Shanghai Zhenhua Heavy Industry Co., Ltd, for a retrofit of the Carquinez Bridge, which spans the Carquinez Strait to Vallejo. Though they were rejected and remade, the report characterizes the problem as a “near disaster.”
State transportation officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Shanghai Zhenhua has also come under scrutiny for its work on the new Bay Bridge.


NASHVILLE (BP) – The recent revelations of troubling policies and practices at Facebook demonstrate Christians should continue to seek to influence social media companies and to address related issues in a biblically sound manner, said a Southern Baptist technology ethicist.
Jason Thacker, chair of research in technology ethics at the Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission (ERLC), commented on reports based on tens of thousands of pages of internal documents leaked to news media by a former Facebook employee. The reports by multiple outlets indicated, among other disclosures, that Facebook’s policies promoted greater division in the United States and overseas and knowingly fostered a toxic environment for teenage girls on its subsidiary Instagram.
The new revelations “are deeply unsettling,” Thacker said in a written statement. “These internal reports and documents reveal the immense power and influence that Facebook, and by extension other social media platforms, have on our society.
“Christians who care about the health of our society can see the widespread effects these platforms are having. … Technology companies are at the center of our modern public discourse and, in that role, they have a tremendous responsibility.
“The dignity of our neighbors and overall civic health is at stake here, and these revelations should compel the church to more actively engage technology issues with a robust theological and ethical framework. Pastors and ministry leaders are on the front lines of dealing with the oftentimes subtle and deleterious ways technology is shaping us.
Thacker noted the documents show Facebook “has actively sought to understand some of the problems with its platforms, which is commendable even if incomplete. In fact, we must continue urging Facebook and other technology companies to commit to sustained research into how their platforms shape the digital public square.”
Frances Haugen, a Facebook product manager for nearly two years, copied internal documents and released them in redacted form to reporters, beginning with The Wall Street Journal. The whistleblower testified on Facebook’s practices before a U.S. Senate subcommittee in early October, charging the company with hiding important information from the public and the government.
The Journal first began reporting in September on Haugen’s release of the documents in a series it referred to as The Facebook Files. In October, Haugen expanded their release to journalists with at least 17 news media outlets, including The New York Times, The Washington Post and The Associated Press, according to The Times. The news outlets’ widespread publication of articles – now known as The Facebook Papers – started Oct. 25.
Among the findings from the documents that have been reported:
- Company leadership failed to take action when a 2018 revision to Facebook’s news feed designed to advance closer and more harmonious relationships with family and friends actually often had the effect of spreading anger and misinformation, according to CNBC.
- Facebook’s automated systems removed only about 2 percent of hate speech as of 2019 and less than 1 percent of material seeking to trigger violence as of 2021, CNBC reported.
- Failure to regulate its platform overseas has resulted in hate speech or violence in such countries as Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Myanmar and Sri Lanka, according to various news reports.
- The company has struggled to curtail the use of its platforms in human trafficking, specifically domestic servitude, and, as a result, Apple threatened in 2019 to bar Facebook and Instagram from accessing its App Store, multiple outlets reported.
- A Facebook study reported by National Public Radio showed 13.5 percent of British teenage girls said thoughts of suicide increased after joining Instagram, which is owned by Facebook.
CNBC reported Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s chief executive officer, said on Facebook of Haugen’s charges:“At the heart of these accusations is this idea that we prioritize profit over safety and well-being. That’s just not true.”
The resources to be provided during the next 18 months consist of four major elements, he told the trustees:
(1) A “state of digital governance report” that will present a portrait of current and future technological issues;
(2) an evangelical Christian statement of principles on “content moderation and digital governance;”
(3) a church resource kit scheduled to be released in the summer of 2022; and
(4) two books to be published next year – “Following Jesus in the Digital Age” and “The Digital Public Square: Ethics and Religion in a Technological Society.” Thacker is writing the former for Broadman & Holman Publishing and editing the latter for B&H Academic.
While the Digital Public Square is funded by the Cooperative Program, the SBC’s unified giving plan, Facebook Technologies LLC also provided a research grant after the effort was under way. Thacker provided assurances to the trustees and on the project’s website that Facebook has no direct or indirect oversight regarding the project.

Wellington — British and Irish Lions captain Sam Warburton has been named in an all-new starting 15 to face the Highlanders in Dunedin on Tuesday, the back rower returning to action after missing the last two contests.
Warburton was involved in the unconvincing, tour-opening win over a Provincial Barbarians side but missed the subsequent loss to the Blues and Saturday’s morale-boosting 12-3 victory over the Crusaders due to fitness concerns.
The Warren Gatland-coached Lions can expect another bruising test of their credentials with the three-match series against the All Blacks looming on the horizon.
"At this stage of the tour everyone has had a start and as coaches we are happy that all the players have had a chance to put their hand up and perform in the Lions jersey," Gatland said.
Gatland’s side has just three more tour outings before the opening match against the All Blacks in Auckland on June 24 and a similar performance in Dunedin to the one in Christchurch will go a long way towards deciding his preferred Test lineup.
"Each game is a chance for individuals to shine but more importantly it’s about a collective performance. We are building some momentum and we have improved with every game," he added.
"We were pleased with the win against the Crusaders, especially our defence and game management, but we know the Highlanders will be another huge test for us as a squad."
With Warburton still looking to get back to full fitness after recovering from a minor ankle injury, flyhalf Dan Biggar has been passed fit to start after sustaining concussion in the 22-16 defeat to the Blues last Tuesday.
Jared Payne will start at fullback despite an ongoing
The Highlanders will be bolstered by the inclusion of three All Blacks with hooker Liam Coltman, flyhalf Lima Sopoaga and winger Waisake Naholo all included.

I purchased this book to place in the Faith Base dorms at a local jail, and I kept one copy to read. The book was okay; I was somewhat disappointed. I guess I was expecting more than what was presented. There are other books available that are much better and I would look for the other sources. Too much emphasis was presented on one area and not enough in other areas; simply put; I was disappointed.

And during that time, both have played a significant role in reflecting and shaping many aspects of our society, especially our work culture. So, in developing my recommendations, I decided to focus on books adapted into films that had a large impact on how we perceive ourselves and others in the context of work. Five that most came to mind were:
Eric Hatch, My Man Godfrey (1935) (originally named 1101 Park Avenue)
Film Adaptation: My Man Godfrey (1936)
One of the best screwball comedies from Hollywood, this film is also a striking look at Depression-era America in the 1930s. As the lead character, Godfrey, played by the impeccable William Powell, notes to his friend, “The only difference between a derelict and a man is a job.” Godfrey is a former blue-blood businessman who falls on hard times, then becomes a butler to a madcap family, led by struggling businessman Eugene Palette.
Upton Sinclair, Oil! (1927)
Film Adaptation: There Will be Blood (2007)
One of the greatest American films from the last 20 years, writer/director Paul Thomas Anderson’s film explores how one man’s admirable ambition expressed through unceasing toil is twisted into something ugly and monstrous from greed. A towering Academy Award-winning performance by Daniel Day-Lewis makes this film one for the ages.
A.I. Bezzerides, Thieves’ Market (1949)
Film Adaptation: Thieves’ Highway (1949)
Director Jules Dassin’s American film noir is a brilliant look at life on the American road in the years immediately after World War II. Its story about blue collar laborers—truck drivers—being driven out by a corrupt, more powerful business, is a precursor to films like On the Waterfront. The scenes of the trucks carrying much too heavy loads in trucks barely fit for the road is a reminder of the pressures workers are put under in order to maintain the bottom line, either their own or their employer’s.
Cameron Hawley, Executive Suite (1952)
Film Adaptation: Executive Suite (1954)
For this MGM story of a white-collar workforce and boardroom political machinations, director Robert Wise and producers John Houseman and Jud Kinberg had an all-star cast, including William Holden, Barbara Stanwyck and Fredric March. At stake isn’t just financial solvency, but a restoration of the company to its former high standards, which affect not just upper management, but the health and security of the largely unseen workers below the eponymous executive suite.
Luigi Bartolini, Bicycle Thieves(1946)
Film Adaptation: Bicycle Thieves (1948)
This landmark of world cinema directed by Vittorio de Sica (also known as The Bicycle Thief) is the definitive example of Italian neorealism. Shot on the streets of Rome with a cast of mostly nonprofessional actors, this is a heartbreaking story about a long-unemployed laborer whose one chance at gainful employment is undermined by the theft of his bicycle.

CADDO PARISH, LA — A former North Caddo High School teacher was taken into custody Thursday for stealing school materials.
Rodney Doyle, 42, of Dubberly, is charged with stealing $9,000 worth of metal from the school's welding department, which is a felony theft.
Detectives say Doyle worked as a teacher assigned to the school’s welding department during the 2011-12 school year. He did not return to teach this year.
In September, school officials reported the theft of around $9,000 worth of metal missing from the building. Scrap yard receipts with Doyle’s name on them were found in his desk, showing he allegedly sold metal from the school between December 2011 and April 2012. He received about $2,300 from the scrap yard.
He was booked into the Caddo Correctional Center.

When the full history of how experts and politicians handled the spread of COVID-19 is written, the account will be littered with missteps, overreach, and unintended consequences.
Decisions that must be included on that long list of failures are the reliance on the disastrous charts produced by the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, also known as the Murray model; the unprecedented quarantine of tens of millions of healthy Americans; the abrupt and devastating shutdown of the world’s most powerful economy; and freedom-destroying actions by power-grabbing politicians from governors down to judges and small-town mayors. It’s very possible, in terms of containing the disease and preventing future outbreaks, nearly everything we’ve been instructed to do has been wrong.
But the gravest mistake, historians likely will conclude, has been the deadly decision to knowingly mix COVID-19 patients with uninfected residents and health care workers in nursing homes.
The total death count due to COVID-19 in the United States, according to several tracking sources, is roughly 50,000 people since March 1. About 25 percent of the total fatalities tallied so far stem from nursing homes.
“Across the country, a pattern has played out with tragic consistency,” reports the New York Times. “Someone gets sick in a nursing home. Soon, several residents and employees have the coronavirus.”
The paper “identified more than 5,400 nursing homes and other long-term care facilities across the United States with coronavirus cases. More than 68,000 residents and staff members at those facilities have contracted the virus, and more than 11,000 have died. That means nearly a quarter of the deaths in the pandemic have been linked to long-term care facilities.”
And that’s just what we know so far.
Cuomo’s Horrible Decisions
It should have been fairly simple for even the simpletons populating state and federal government to figure out that fragile, ill people trapped in close quarters would be the most susceptible to contracting the novel coronavirus. After all, the first known outbreak in the United States occurred in a nursing home in Washington state in late February. The virus spread quickly; at least 35 people died.
But “experts” were caught flat-footed. As they forced healthy children out of school and hounded joggers off public beaches, power-grabbing politicians secretly moved ailing seniors from hospitals to nursing homes—with fatal consequences.
And nowhere, of course, has the practice had a more deadly consequence than in New York. After failing to prepare his state and the nation’s largest city adequately for the expected outbreak, Governor Andrew Cuomo issued a directive in late March ordering nursing home operators to readmit hospitalized residents.
“During this global health emergency, all NHs [nursing homes] must comply with the expedited receipt of residents returning from hospitals,” the state’s department of health directed in a memo dated March 25. “No resident shall be denied re-admission or admission to the NH solely based on a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of COVID-19. NHs are prohibited from requiring a hospitalized resident who is determined medically stable to be tested for COVID-19 prior to admission or readmission” (emphasis added).
For weeks, the crisis at New York nursing homes rapidly unfolded but pleas for help fell on deaf ears in Albany. The New York Post reported last week that an executive for a Brooklyn facility overrun with sick residents begged the Health Department to allow him to send suspected COVID-19 residents to the empty U.S. naval ship docked outside of the city.
“We don’t have the ability to cohort right now based on staffing and we really want to protect our other patients,” Donny Tuckman, chief executive officer for Cobble Health Center, wrote on April 9. At least 55 people have died at Tuckman’s facility as state officials failed to respond.
Nursing homes in Queens and the Bronx have suffered similar horror stories. The Post reports that about 3,500 nursing home residents in New York have succumbed to the disease, roughly one-quarter of the state’s total fatalities, a trendline that mirrors the nation’s overall results.
But Cuomo, enjoying sky-high approval ratings despite his incompetence, which has resulted in his state representing about 32 percent of the nation’s death toll, refuses to accept blame for the tragedy at his state’s nursing homes and long-term care facilities.
Following critical coverage in both the Times and the Post last week, Cuomo insisted it wasn’t his responsibility to ensure health care workers at these facilities were properly protected. “We have been helping them with more [personal protective equipment] but, again, it’s not our job,” Cuomo said on April 22. The same governor who has shuttered nearly every private business in his state claimed he didn’t “run” private nursing homes.
But rather than investigate the reckless public officials who provided the deadly guidance in the first place or offer extra assistance to the distressed system, Cuomo ordered an investigation into beleaguered nursing homes for failing to comply with state regulations.
Calamities Across the States
New York, sadly, is not an outlier. California and New Jersey issued similar orders. According to New Jersey’s tracker, roughly 3,000 COVID-19 lab-confirmed or suspected deaths are tied to a long-term care facility—that’s half the Garden State’s total fatalities.
One-third of Illinois’ nearly 2,000 COVID-19 fatalities now are linked to long-term care facilities. Last week, Michigan officials claimed 2,218 of the state’s 3,085 COVID-19 decedents were nursing home residents. “Deaths at nursing homes and rest homes make up 56.3 percent of overall coronavirus deaths in Massachusetts as of Sunday,” the Boston Globe reported over the weekend.
In fact, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation study, at least half of the fatalities in five other states—Delaware, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Utah—are tied to long term care facilities. “COVID-19 has had a disproportionate effect on people who reside or work in long-term care facilities, including the 1.3 million individuals in nursing homes; 800,000 in assisted living facilities; 75,000 in intermediate care facilities; and 3 million people who work in skilled nursing or residential care facilities,” the April 23 report concludes.
What’s even more heartbreaking about the systematic failure to protect nursing homes is knowing that so many died before seeing a loved one as family members are kept away both from COVID-19 patients and noninfected residents. It is a heartless, cruel fate and undoubtedly it will wreak long lasting emotional damage on family and friends left behind.
This is a national tragedy on many levels and an inexcusable, avoidable one at that.
Rather than focus on how to safeguard the most vulnerable among us, politicians have been preening for cable news cameras, blaming the president, halting the sale of vegetable seeds, and warning against small dinner parties in private homes. A tragedy, a failure, and a disgrace.

To celebrate the launch onto the Epic Games Store, Pine is currently free for all players to keep. This is a continued effort on Epic Games’ behalf to bring free games to their player base every single week. Recently it was revealed that Epic Games’ is losing upwards of $330 million in unrecouped costs. This is thanks to its exclusivity deals and the “minimum guarantees” it doles out to developers to offer their games for free. However, Tim Sweeney, the CEO of Epic Games, spoke out on the matter and claimed he doesn’t have an issue with it. Instead, he sees it as an “investment” that has “proven to be a fantastic success in reaching gamers”.
Regardless, the wonderful open-world action-adventure game Pine is completely free right now, and you might as well make the most of Epic Games’ generosity. If you head on over to the Epic Games Store, you can download Pine completely for free and keep it forever. That’s a whopping savings of $24.99/£19.49. Will you be nabbing it for free? Let us know down in the comments below.

As I’ve posted before, Dan Posner, Lily Tsai and I are conducting some research in East Africa on the Uwezo initiative — which tries to positively influence citizenship participation and student learning through a series of national assessments and information campaigns. Lily and I have been here this week working with two terrific American graduate students and two wonderful Kenyan researchers, who will be the field coordinators on our project for the next three months. It’s been an extraordinarily busy 3 days getting ready for our upcoming work in Nyanza and Central provinces — we depart tomorrow.
We’ll be traveling in two teams to visit two set of villages in each province — half that were visited by the initiative back in February and March, and half that were not (control villages). And we want to see, of course, whether the initiative made any difference in the affected households and villages. Since Wednesday morning, we’ve been conducting training, running through and making final edits to a variety of survey questionnaires and interview guides, and getting organized to hire 16 survey enumerators. Today we sorted about 70,000 pages of documents — it was a very long day, but quite a sense of accomplishment when everything finally (seemed) very much ready to go. We will be quite a caravan heading out tomorrow with all of our bags and a few dozen boxes.
Although Google Maps are great… well, they still don’t provide much insight about where to find anything in the villages we’ll be studying. So, we will rely on maps like the one posted above, drawn by a village elder or some other local, who can convey their knowledge of the terrain by hand. The good news is that Uwezo has maps for half the villages we’ll be studying. The bad news is that when Lily and I visited the country headquarters today, a huge downpour rumbled through our meetings, and the electricity went out. Although Uwezo’s generator continued to provide enough electricity for light, and the various data entry specialists could continue their work as they were on battery charged laptops, we could not use the power-hungry photocopier. So, I photographed the maps, as posted above, and that seems to have worked pretty well.
I was very impressed by all of the people I met today at Uwezo — including the regional director, Sara Ruto, and the country co-ordinator, John Mugo. I look forward to sharing with them the results of our study as they are all truly curious about what we will learn.
