On the night of September 20, 2016, while tear gas plumed and bottles flew and the interstate burned in Charlotte, the man who built the city was in a hotel room 750 miles away, watching it all on television, wondering what in the hell was going on.
Hugh McColl wielded more influence than any banker in the country during the last quarter of the 20th century, turning a small North Carolina bank into Bank of America, a financial colossus that transformed the nation’s financial landscape as much as it did the city’s skyline. After McColl retired in 2001, he remained a prominent figure in Charlotte. But he often reminded people in speeches and interviews that he wasn’t going to live forever, that new leaders needed to emerge. In recent years, around the time of his 80th birthday in 2015, McColl made a decision with his family that he would devote his remaining years to Charlotte’s black community and west side neighborhoods, investing time and money in early-childhood education buildings, affordable-housing projects and job programs. He had helped make Charlotte a capital of the New South, but he was galled by a 2014 study that ranked Charlotte last among the country’s 50 largest cities in terms of upward mobility. To oversimplify, he knew that under the surface of this sparkling city, the distance was growing between people who looked like him and the mostly black people he saw protesting. What he was watching on television that night from his Little Rock hotel room was a reckoning.
“You ask yourself, ‘How as a society did we treat people so badly?’” McColl told me recently. “We’re guilty as charged.”
The scenes on TV were familiar by then—aerial footage of large groups squaring off with officers after another police shooting of a black man. But until the night, when Charlotte-Mecklenburg police shot and killed Keith Lamont Scott, those scenes always unfolded somewhere else, places like Baltimore and St. Louis. Charlotte, the expression here went, was too nice and friendly to stand up.
Braxton Winston believed that, too.
A former college linebacker with long dreadlocks, Winston was driving home after coaching a middle-school football game when he saw flashing lights and people in the street. Winston was an anonymous figure in this fast-growing city, a father of three kids scratching together a living as a videographer, an Uber driver, a stagehand and a part-time coach. His father is a New York City Fire Department captain who served in both the Marine Corps and the Air Force. His mother was a New York City schoolteacher. Winston graduated from the prestigious Phillips Academy in Massachusetts and then Davidson College, with a degree in anthropology. A few weeks before the September 20 shooting, he recorded himself venting his frustrations over the fallout from Colin Kaepernick’s decision to kneel during the national anthem. “Flags and songs and medals are not more important than people,” he said in the video. “You value that smiling black face, but you (don’t) value the crying black soul.”
Now here he was, a 33-year-old black man getting out of his car to protest in the streets of the city McColl built.
Over the next five days, Winston’s Facebook Live videos from the Charlotte protests would generate more than 110,000 views. But he became famous that first night when he stood shirtless in front of a line of officers in riot gear and raised his left arm. A newspaper photographer took a picture of him from behind, a lone black man with his hair tied up in a bunch and a fist high in the air in front of officers with nightsticks. It became a defining image of the week.
McColl saw the photo the next morning. Today, he laughs in a sharp Southern accent, “I remember seeing him nekked to the waist.”
In the coming days and weeks and months, as Winston’s role as a leader of the protests solidified, McColl would come to see him as someone who could talk and listen to anyone, someone who could fill a leadership void that he considered one of the city’s biggest liabilities. The two men became not just friends, but allies. They had uncomfortable conversations about race—some of them “cringe-worthy,” Winston says—often while the country’s faltering dialogue on the matter became more strained. In November, just 14 months after Winston first raised his fist in protest, the alliance between the two men ended with Winston earning a seat on Charlotte City Council, an election that has profoundly altered the direction of politics in this Southern city.
McColl flew home from Little Rock the day after the Scott shooting, a Wednesday, to a city stewing. Uptown businesses, including Bank of America’s corporate headquarters, closed early in preparation for another night of demonstrations. Few things pain McColl more than seeing the bank shut down.
That night, he watched footage from his home in the city’s richest zip code as people filled the streets in the center of town. I was covering the protests for Charlotte magazine. The demonstration started just before sunset and became tense as darkness settled in. Just after 8 p.m., protesters reached the front of a hotel across the street from Bank of America’s 879-foot tall headquarters building. Officers in riot gear blocked the glass doors. Around 8:20 p.m., someone in the crowd fired a single gunshot. The bullet hit a 26-year-old protester in the head. Justin Carr died later that night. In the chaos after the shot, people fled. But surveillance video shows a tall man with dreadlocks headed in the other direction, not running away but walking toward the spot where Carr fell, holding a camera up to record it.
“I remember leaving my house that night, and I couldn’t tell my wife and my kids if I was going to be safe,” says Winston, who considers himself a citizen journalist. “I made the decision, and once you make it, you’ve got to go or you don’t. When that happened, I was like, ‘You have to keep your camera up.’”
Calmer protests continued through the week. Winston was arrested during a Sunday demonstration outside a Panthers football game (the charges were ultimately dropped). By that weekend, most of the city’s leadership was under fire, with the sharpest criticism coming from the black community and directed toward the mayor, police chief and city council.
Many in the white community joined the protesters in condemning the mayor and council. But others wrote letters urging police to respond more forcefully and make sweeping arrests. Republican Congressman Robert Pittenger, who lives in an affluent south Charlotte neighborhood, appeared on the BBC that week and said the protesters’ grievance was that “they hate white people because white people are successful and they’re not.” He apologized the next day. Meanwhile, residents in outer suburbs were largely apathetic, likening the protests to a snowstorm that closed their offices.
That Friday, though, McColl showed up at a Charlotte Symphony function to deliver a speech that had been planned for months. He addressed the events of the week. “The time is now,” he said. “I challenge everyone, particularly the white community, to begin today to talk with and listen to the concerns of each other.”
The Charlotte Observer ran an editorial that weekend that opened with the lines, “God bless Hugh McColl, but the man is 81 years old and 15 years removed from his retirement as Bank of America’s CEO. Surely Charlotte has the leadership to respond to this perilous moment … without falling back on yesterday’s captains.”
The following Monday, Winston attended the regularly scheduled city council meeting. In the public comment portion, he stood at a lectern and called for the resignation of mayor Jennifer Roberts, saying he was there to “indict the Charlotte government for crimes against the humanity of the City of Charlotte.” Then he led the audience through the chorus of “My Country, ’Tis of Thee.”
McColl and Winston met for the first time last winter, at a gathering set up by the Women’s Inter-Cultural Exchange, a Charlotte organization whose mission is “building trust across race and culture.” There were about 30 men seated in a circle at the meeting, at least two-thirds of them black, including the city’s police chief, Kerr Putney.
McColl watched Winston criticize Putney about police treatment of the black community. He admired Winston’s courage and firmness, but he wasn’t sure whether he agreed with him on a few points. So he approached him after the meeting. Winston remembers it clearly.
“I might’ve been star-struck that night. I mean it was the first time I met Hugh McColl,” Winston says. “[He asked] why, if violence is happening in these black neighborhoods, why black or brown people won’t be more cooperative with police in terms of adjudicating it.” Winston stuttered through an answer he can’t remember. The next day, he sent a lengthy email to one of the group’s organizers and asked to have it forwarded to McColl.
The email told the story from November 3, 2015, when Winston jumped out of bed to the sound of a woman screaming in the yard of a home across the street from his. The woman, a Latina, was holding a baby and her house was on fire behind her. He ran across the street in his boxers. She was wobbling and had been beaten and stabbed. The woman’s boyfriend had bashed her with a pipe several times, then cut the gas line and tried to blow up the house with all three of them inside.
Winston held the woman’s 2-year-old son until firefighters and police arrived. Officers approached the child, but he wouldn’t say a word. Winston and his wife of 12 years, Sheena, can speak Spanish. They learned that the child could speak English, but that he was trained to pretend he couldn’t whenever he was approached by someone in uniform.
“In the very worst times,” Winston remembers telling McColl, “there are people that are taught, for good reason, that if you go to the people that are supposed to help you, there’s a good chance you’re going to end up criminalizing yourself.”
McColl responded with an invitation to meet privately.
Over breakfast at a low-key restaurant called Eddie’s Place, they began frank, and not always comfortable, conversations about race. At one of their first meetings, McColl asked Winston whether his hairstyle cost him a lot of time each day. Winston laughed and explained that the dreads are easy to keep clean. Winston asked questions about McColl’s accomplishments and the city’s history. He recently told the retired CEO that he remembers family vacations when his mom would withdraw all of her cash before the trip, and said it only recently occurred to him that McColl was the person who made it possible to have a familiar bank wherever they went.
Their conversations continued against the backdrop of an increasingly stressful year for Charlotte and the rest of the country. The weekend after the violent Saturday in Charlottesville, Virginia, McColl attended a wedding there and found himself looking around for the few nonwhite people. As Charlotte’s murder rate climbed to its highest point since the 1990s, Winston found himself befriending leaders in the same police department he once confronted.
“That’s what it’s about,” Winston tells me later, pounding his right fist against his left hand and smiling. “We gotta be willing to say cringe-worthy things, to be honest with ourselves, to say, ‘Hey, I don’t know. This is what I experienced.’ Let’s be real with one another. [Someone] can say something and you can think, ‘You may ought to rethink that,’ rather than saying, ‘You’re a racist,’ or, ‘You’re a bigot,’ or, ‘You’re a radical.’”
Says McColl: “He’s lived the world of being guilty being black. And he’s even guilty of having dreadlocks. So he’s guilty on all kinds of counts of looking different. … Those of us who’ve never experienced it cannot actually identify with it. We can say we’re sympathetic, but we have no basis of understanding because it’s never happened to us.”
McColl remembers the wagons rolling into town on Saturdays. Growing up in Bennettsville, South Carolina, his family wasn’t rich, but he never wanted for much. His dad and grandfather had to sell the bank they owned, the Bank of Marlboro, during the Depression, and his dad became a merchant. McColl would go into town early on Saturdays to wait for the cotton and produce to arrive.
McColl is a lifelong Democrat who always thought he was better than the racism he saw growing up in the rural South. But now, on the other end of life, he remembers ignoring words and scenes that would be unforgivable today. “The black sharecroppers were coming in, and the women would nurse their babies on the sidewalk because they had no other place to go,” McColl says. “I didn’t think anything about it as a child. And so I think I was the worst kind of racist in that I didn’t even notice it.”
He graduated from the University of North Carolina and served in the Marine Corps before taking a banking job in Charlotte in 1959. Serving in the Marine Corps taught him that “everybody pulls their pants on the same way. They don’t care whether you’re rich or poor, who your mother and father were, what your color is. They don’t give a damn about that.”
He says his first salary was $4,500 a year. He rose steadily in his field, and in 1974 he was named president of North Carolina National Bank at age 38. Newspaper and magazine stories throughout his career characterized him as progressive for his time. He was part of a leadership group that came up with an affirmative-action plan for the bank in the early 1970s so that, regardless how the government waffled on the matter, the bank would have a healthy percentage of black employees.
McColl became CEO in 1983 and, playing up his Southern charm in meetings with state and federal politicians, led the fight to dismantle laws that hindered interstate banking. In the late 1990s, NationsBank merged with Bank of America and McColl had achieved his goal of owning the country’s largest bank. In 2000, the New York Times reported tax records showed he had made $75 million in salary, bonuses and stock options the previous year.
He says he valued the money less than the thrill of building something. “I don’t care about money or taxes or the things that most people in my economic bracket talk about,” he says. “I’m not the least bit interested in taxes. I’ve never missed a dollar that I’ve paid in taxes, and I’ve never missed a dollar that I gave away.”
Once, when the city council was about $6 million short for a new transportation center, his bank put up $10 million. When the symphony was low on cash, he started an endowment. When he wanted the tallest skyscraper between Philadelphia and Atlanta, he built it.
“There’s not a mayor anywhere in this country who has a banker or businessman in their community like Hugh McColl,” says Richard Vinroot, a Republican who was Charlotte’s mayor from 1991 to 1995. “I always say I was the luckiest mayor in the world.”
As McColl approached retirement in 2001, so did many of his counterparts in local business, leaving many to wonder who might assume those leadership roles. It was a precarious time for the city. Immigrant populations were exploding and busing policies were being dismantled in local schools, and people of different races were resegregating into old neighborhood patterns. From the moment he retired, people wondered if the “next Hugh McColl” would come along to lead Charlotte. But the Charlotte he created needed something other than another Hugh McColl to lead it.
Braxton Winston graduated high school that same year.
In the fall of his senior year at Phillips Andover Academy, he was the captain of his football team. He led Andover to the New England Prep School championship on a soggy day. After the game, he leaned on his parents and wept. Then he showered and changed clothes. He had to play the lead role that evening in the school play, Shakespeare’s Coriolanus.
His father, David, still thinks about that day, especially after the image of Winston standing in front of police went around the world. “Hearing him speak Elizabethan English, without pause or flaw, for two hours,” David wrote to me, “made me marvel at his toughness, his dedication, and his intellect.”
Early last summer, Winston was lying in bed one morning when he called McColl to tell him that he was thinking about running for city council. McColl told him to go for it.
“I’m gonna support you, and I’m gonna get other people to support you,” McColl said. “But you better go out there and win.”
At a meeting that included Charlotte businesspeople and lawyers and philanthropists in June, Winston announced publicly he would run for an at-large seat. McColl, who’d just turned 82, put his hand on Winston’s shoulder and said he’d be the first contributor, and he gave $1,000. McColl’s endorsement carries a ton of weight still. Just this past week, after longtime Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson abruptly put the team up for sale amid sexual harassment revelations, McColl was the first local businessman to publicly announce his support of Tina Becker’s promotion to chief operating officer. Late Wednesday evening, the Charlotte Observer published a story that listed McColl among a group of locals looking to put together an investment group to make sure the team stays in Charlotte.
For Winston and his run for office, McColl’s endorsement meant that “at least people are going to pick up the phone. At least people will say, ‘I need to take this guy seriously.’”
Suddenly, Winston the protester had the support to become Winston the politician. The president of Davidson College gave $1,000. Architects and developers followed. So did unions for ironworkers and stagehands. The money enabled Winston to pay a team that included people who helped on campaigns for former mayor and U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx. By late summer, Braxton Winston signs were all over Charlotte and money was coming in from everywhere. Eight candidates—four Democrats and four Republicans—were vying for four at-large seats in the general election. On November 7, Winston, the political rookie, earned the second-most votes.
That night, Winston stood in front of television cameras and said, “I’m at a loss for words. So many people have spent their social capital, their political capital, their real economic capital on this guy that that decided to stand, stand up, and …”
He choked up and walked away.
In the weeks since, Chelsea Clinton and the rapper Common have praised him on Twitter, and new outlets from CNN to the Guardian have run stories about the “protester turned politician.”
At a breakfast meeting organized by a chapter of the Women’s Inter-Cultural Exchange in late November, Winston walked in wearing a zip-up jacket and jeans. McColl smiled, leading a round of applause. The meeting’s organizer asked Winston to introduce himself. “Councilman-elect Braxton Winston,” he said, looking at a group of people in slacks and button-downs, and they all clapped again.
In late August, SmartAsset ranked Charlotte No. 1 among cities where millennials are moving, with a net gain of nearly 11,000 in 2015. The transition is obvious to people who live here. Thousands of apartment units have gone up in my neighborhood in the past five years. But less-discussed is a booming elderly population, with the number of people 65 and older growing from about 75,000 in 2010 to 96,000 in 2015, a jump of about 28 percent.
McColl, at least politically, is trying to connect the two groups.
In the city election, McColl also backed Dimple Ajmera, a 31-year-old whose family moved to the U.S. from India when she was 16. She made national news last summer when she said that anybody who’d supported Trump has “no place” on the city council. A month before the election, made a video on Ajmera's behalf and helped raise money for her. She claimed an at-large seat, too.
Ajmera and Winston were part of a major makeover for the 11-member Charlotte City Council. On December 4, five new members were sworn in, four of them Democrats and all of them under 40. Also sworn in was new mayor Vi Lyles, 65, who became the first black woman to hold the office after defeating Roberts in the Democratic primary and Republican challenger Kenny Smith by 18 points in the general election. In one election, the average age of Charlotte’s city council dropped from 60 to 45. And the new members weren’t put there by their peers. Nearly 80 percent of voters were over 41. Fourteen months after the protests, the older voters had not just come to accept the young shirtless man in the photograph, they agreed with him that it was time to completely reset the city’s political leadership.
“We can’t keep trying to live for yesterday,” McColl tells me on a recent morning. “Without getting into a debate about whether we like Mr. Trump or not, much of what he has run on is taking us back somewhere, not forward somewhere.”
McColl’s cellphone rings. It’s his personal trainer. We’ve talked too long, and he’s late for a workout. He tells her he’ll be there soon. Then, as if he realizes that he wants to make the next point clear, he dials her back to cancel the workout. And one of the most influential bankers of all time leans forward and continues.
“Make America Great Again means go back to isolationism, go back to the ’30s. I don’t know. He’s not a man for our times, actually. He got elected by people who want things to be like they were, rather than like they are. [In Charlotte,] we’ve elected people that would’ve been unimaginable in the ’70s, just on appearances if nothing else. I think that’s good, not bad. It’s about the future, not the past.”

Orange County Contract Dispute Attorneys
When a contract is drawn up between two parties and the terms are agreed, it is a reasonable expectation that both sides will uphold their obligations. Unfortunately, there are many instances in which one party fails in its contractual duty to another. In the event of contract disputes or breach of contract claims, it might be necessary to seek legal representation to assist with the enforcement of an agreement.
For legal counsel or representation if another entity has broken a contractual agreement with you or you have been accused of the same, contact the Orange County contract dispute attorneys of Daily Aljian at 949-861-2524 today.
Requirements and Resolution
Several different kinds of problems can arise in a contract dispute. In particular, many people may consider a contract dissolved or broken if they feel that the terms were not legally enforceable due to violation of laws or failure to meet standards of reasonableness. Parties may not form a contract if they do not fulfill the following requirements:
- The reason for the contract must follow the law
- The parties must be allowed to form a contract
- The procedure and type of contract must be legal
- Both parties must agree to the terms of the contract
In the case of a dispute, a party may either argue that one or more of these requirements of contract formation were not met or that the terms of the agreement itself were not followed. As our Orange County contract dispute attorneys know the matter might be resolved by the court ordering one party to fulfill its contractual obligations or penalizing determining that the breach was justified.
When a group or individual violates an agreement, the other party may be left to suffer the consequences. To learn more about contract law and your legal options in a dispute, contact the Orange County contract dispute attorneys of Daily Aljian by calling 949-861-2524.

Ben&Jerry's finds its way to the Seder plate this Passover.
(photo credit: FACEBOOK)
For Jewish dessert lovers across the globe, Passover can be a very trying time. Of course most cakes, cookies and brownies are off the table, but even the majority of ice cream flavors don’t bear the necessary certification.
Enter Ben & Jerry’s. The Israeli branch of the US company is offering eight different flavors of Passover-approved ice cream. The classics are available – vanilla, strawberry, coffee, chocolate, chocolate- walnut, banana-walnut and dulce de leche – but so is the more intriguing haroset flavor, which the company first brought to shelves for the holidays in 2012 (and to select stores in 2008), but didn’t bring back every year.
Haroset is one of the food items traditionally on seder plates around the globe – a paste of apples, nuts, wine and cinnamon meant to represent the mortar the Jews used to build with while enslaved in Egypt.
Ben & Jerry’s announced this year’s slate of flavors – similar to those in year’s past – on social media with an improvisation of the traditional “Four Questions.”
“Why is this night different from all other nights? On all other nights, we do not add even one flavor.
But this Passover, this Passover – eight flavors!” Theoretically, an ice cream flavored with apple, walnuts and cinnamon should be tasty.
So we set about to sample the much-buzzed-about flavor.
Reviews across the board were quite varied. Some loved it, while others thought it was too sweet and goopy.
So, how exactly does one create ice-cream that is kosher for Passover? Soon after Ben & Jerry’s arrived in Israel in 1988, the company wanted to begin producing locally, in order to appeal to the dietary needs of Israelis, so they opened the production plant in Yavne.
Avi Zinger, CEO of Ben & Jerry’s Israel said that during the weeks leading up to Passover, the factory goes through a massive cleanup to ensure that the entire factory is free of hametz – any leavened products.
“It starts with the fact that we change the factory, we do all the change in terms of the cleaning of the equipment and the production line,” Zinger told The Jerusalem Post. “All the ingredients have to be kosher for Passover, even the milk, the cream, everything. All the ingredients we add into the ice cream are kosher. That’s why for Passover we have limited selection.”
During Passover production, Ben & Jerry’s Israel only produces a limited number of their regular flavors. The company changes its entire production process leading up to the holiday, as most supermarkets in Israel will not sell non-kosher for Passover foods during that time.
“There is nothing else you can buy at that time,” Zinger said. “The supermarket chains are not accepting anything that is non-kosher [for Passover] in the weeks before the holiday, so the non-kosher products are not able to sell.”
Haroset ice cream, along with the other Passover flavors, is available at Ben & Jerry’s production plant in Yavne, most supermarkets in Jerusalem and specialty stores throughout the country. The special edition products retail for NIS 20, comparable to the regular price of a pint of Ben & Jerry’s.

Research shows brain damage from brain stroke can be decreased
Study from The University of Queensland shows that monitoring the brain of stroke patients using Quantitative EEG studies can inform treatments and also lessen the brain damage of stroke victims.
Professor Michelvan Putten from Medisch Spectrum Hospital and University of Twente in the Netherlands and Dr Simon Finnigan from UQ’s Centre for Clinical Research recently reviewed all the published QEEG studies of stroke globally.
The study is directed towards evaluating the key findings, identifying common trends and also determines what the future priorities should be for research and also for translating this to best inform clinical management of patients suffering from stroke.
Dr. Finnigan said, “Our studies have the real potential to eventually contribute to better outcomes for stroke patients and for me this is the ultimate goal.”
He also stated that the review of outcomes from hundreds of patients has highlighted that QEEG indicators are informative in 2 ways.
Firstly they can help in predicting the long-term deficits caused by stroke and they can also provide immediate information on how patients are responding to the treatment and guide decisions regarding the follow-on treatments.
A drug named tissue plasminogen activator which can dissolve blood clots is administered intravenously to stroke patients within 4.5 hours after the onset of symptoms and clinicians wait for the visual signs that symtoms are improving. He also said, if this does not occur after an hour, then follow-on treatments will be used.
Dr. Finnigan also said, “This is where QEEG can indicate whether or not the brain is responding to the drug. Plus, it could do so up to an hour before the symptoms might improve.” Dr. Finnigan also said, “This is a critical difference when time is brain and clinicians are trying to get blood back into the brain before it’s too late. If QEEG can enable clinicians to start other treatments faster, this could help minimize brain damage and deficits.”

I have defended Trump and in particular his supporters from being dismissed as xenophobic, racist, crazy or dumb. But I must say, this latest attack by Trump makes me think that he thinks the voters like that.
Trump said the fact that Cruz was born in Canada was a “very precarious one for Republicans because he’d be running and the courts may take a long time to make a decision. You don’t want to be running and have that kind of thing over your head.”
His attacks on Cruz are increasingly premised on the idea he’s not “one of us”: He’s Latino, he’s not really an evangelical, and he’s a Canadian!
I don’t think this swing is going to help Trump in Iowa either, although this latest attack, unlike suggesting Cruz is not an evangelical or that his temperament is a problem, doesn’t remind voters of what they don’t like about Trump.
Still, Cruz beat back the attack with a light-hearted pop culture reference to Fonzi “jumping the shark.”
Three swings and three misses? Where does that leave Trump?

The Gaming Revenue Act of 2004
Authorizes the Governor to renegotiate compacts with gaming tribes asking them to pay their ‘fair share’ to California in exchange for keeping their monopoly on slot machines.Gaming tribes would have to agree to:
• Pay 25% of slot machine winnings into the Gaming Revenue Trust Fund to be used by cities and counties to hire new police, sheriffs and firefighters and fund education programs for abused and neglected children
• Comply with the California’s Political Reform Act and Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as all other Californians do right now
• Enter into good faith negotiations with cities or counties where tribal casinos are located to mitigate local gaming related impacts
• Comply with the Gambling Control Act and accept oversight from the California Gambling Control Commission and Division of Gambling Control
• If all Indian tribes choose not to renegotiate within 90 days of the initiative’s approval by the voters, five specific horseracing tracks and eleven card clubs would be authorized to operate a maximum of 30,000 slot machines, at those specific locations only. The race tracks and card clubs must:
• Pay 30% of their winnings to the Gaming Revenue Trust Fund to be used by cities and counties to hire new police, sheriffs and firefighters and fund education programs for abused and neglected children
• Pay 2% of their winnings to the city in which they are located
• Pay 1% to the county in which they are located
We’d like to thank some of our main contributors:
- CBS Outdoor – Helped with billboard signs and advertising, which is crucial to getting our message out to the public.
- Find Aerial Equipment – Supplied scissor lifts, boom lifts, and aerial lifts for various events and commercials so our film crews could get a better view.
The specified establishments are in Los Angeles, Alameda, San Mateo, Orange, San Diego and Contra Costa and the machines could not be operated in any other locations.
• Funds will be collected in the Gaming Revenue Trust Fund, overseen by a Board of Trustees appointed by the Governor. Funds do not become part of the state general fund and will be distributed as follows:
• $1.2 million to each non-gaming Indian tribe
• $3 million to be awarded to responsible gaming programs
• 50% of the remaining funds directly to county offices of education to provide services for abused and neglected children in foster care
• 35% of the remaining funds directly to local governments for additional neighborhood sheriffs and police officers
• 15% of the remaining funds directly to local governments for additional firefighters
A permanent ban is imposed on the opening of any new card clubs in California.

Your support is critical to our success.
Origin and Habitat: Euphorbia sepulta is endemic to a small are between Geldin and Sahaguri, in Somalia. It is not known elsewhere.
Altitude range: 1640–2000 metres above sea level.
Habitat and ecology. This species grows on flat stony ground with open Juniperus forest.
- Euphorbia sepulta P.R.O.Bally & S.Carter
Description: Euphorbia sepulta is a rare, compact, succulent perennial that forms impressive flattened cushions about 3 cm high and up to 30 cm diameter (more hemispherical in cultivation), with very compact branching mostly below ground-level from the apex of a very thick fleshy root. The shape of the plant is somewhat similar to to the South African medusa head Euphorbias, especially Euphorbia susannae.
Root: Thick, fleshy.
Branches. Branches very numerous, branching mostly below ground-level forming a very compact cushion, staight, 1–5 cm long, 1–1.5 cm in diameter, 9–17-angled. Angles (ribs) separated by distinct grooves, very shallowly toothed, with teeth 2–4 mm apart.
Spine-shields: Obovate, 1-3 mm long, 0.5-1 mm wide, the ridges (angles) hardening around them to form a whitish margin along the angles usually enclosing the flowering eyes. Spines present only on early seedling growth. Prickles (modified stipules) soon converging to form a single downward pointing spine 0.5-1.5 mm long, with the leaf-scar at its base.
Inflorescences (cymes): Solitary, 1-forked (simple), subsessile.
Flowers: Cyathia 2 mm in diameter. Nectar-gland 1.2 mm broad, touching, golden yellow. Ovary exserted on a recurved stalk, vaguely 3-lobed. Styles 1.25 mm long.

Cultivation and Propagation: Euphorbia sepulta is a small branching succulent plant from Somalia that is reputed difficult to grow on its own roots. It is usually grafted for convenience on Euphorbia canariensis or Euphorbia resinifera, but it can be easily degrafted by those who wish to try to grow them on their own roots. If you remove an offset, remember to let it dry for a week or so, letting the wound heal (cutting planted to soon easily rot before they can grow roots). It is better to wash the cut to remove the latex. They grow well in a very draining mineral potting substrate.
Growth rate: Euphorbia sepulta on its own roots, it is slow growing.
Frost Tolerance: Need frost protection. Recommended minimum temperature is 12 °C or even above.
Sun Exposure: Light shade.
Propagation: Grafting, cuttings or seeds. It is propagated from seed sown during spring or summer. Germination occurs within 3 weeks a small globular plant emerges and keeps the shell on top for 2 or 3 months, but removing the shell right away is a recipe for failure. Usually when these plants finally shed the seed shell, the first cotyledons appear, with growth starting between them as is normal in plants. Sowing seed of this self fertile species is the surest method of growing typical offspring and seedlings are in the first season relatively easy to grow.
The plants that are grafted on a more vigorous and easier stocks are easier to keep, grow faster and produce more flowers and seeds. The method of grafting euphorbias differs little from that of other succulents, except in one important aspect. The latex must be washed or sprayed off until hardly anything remains. After the latex flow has stopped, a further 1-2 mm slice can be taken from both surfaces without a new latex flow starting. Both scion and stock need to be at the start of the growing season. The stock should be cut as near as possible to the growing tip, as here the vascular bundles are dense and not yet woody and will feed the scion in the best possible way. Where possible stock and scion should be of similar diameter. The cut surfaces are held together with elastic bands in cross style, over the plant top and under the pot. The plants should be left in an airy and shady place for 7-10 days before the bands are removed.
Warning: As with all other Euphorbias when a plant get damaged it exudes a thick white milky sap known as latex. This latex is poisonous and particularly dangerous for the eyes, skin and mucous membranes. So pay extreme attention not to get any in your eyes or mouth. Cultivated plants must be handled carefully.

Holiday Home with WIFI, pool and panorama views to “Montserrat” in Castellbell y el Vilar
This property is located in the small village of Castellbell y el Vilar and it sits at the foot of the magical mountain of Montserrat which is the most important and significant mountain in Catalonia. In addition to hiking through the many routes in the area, it is a must to visit its Monastery and listen to one of the oldest singing choirs of Europe. Another curiosity of the mountain is to visit the interior of the “saltpeter caves of Collbato”, which was a source of inspiration for Gaudí to build the Sagrada Familia. The town of Castellbell y el Vilar has important Roman heritage as its castle and bridge is from the 10th century. It is located less than an hour drive from the cosmopolitan city of Barcelona and the extensive beaches of fine sand of Castelldefels and Gavà.
Holiday Home in Castellbell y el Vilar, Barcelona
Our modern property is special, not only for its fantastic views of the Montserrat mountain, but also for the internal layout of the house. The owners wanted an open concept in the interior and they certainly got it. Upon entering the hallway there is a twin bedroom plus family bathroom with shower. Then we find a large open space with the kitchen and the dining and living room that leads out to the dining terrace. From the terrace there is a gate that blocks the way to the stairs that leads down to the pool, which makes it safe for families with small children. The first floor is the most surprising as the whole floor is open without any wall or room, but with four spaces differentiated by furniture and/or columns offering three double beds, a bathtub and the toilet. On this same floor there is a solarium with mountain views. The property is accessed by a private road without asphalt.

The Australian Academy of Technology and Engineering has welcomed comments by the Energy Minister, Angus Taylor, that indicate the Morrison government is open to reversing the nuclear energy ban if a “clear business case” showed the economics of such plants were sound.
Academy President, Professor Hugh Bradlow FTSE, said the approach to power generation should be technology neutral, provided generation systems meet standards for safety, reliability and emissions. Nuclear power could be considered alongside other options for low emissions energy, such as renewables and hydrogen.
“Importantly, it should be the market that decides which technology to deploy, subject to all relevant regulations and standards being satisfied. Those decisions will need to consider the full range of economic, social and environmental issues associated with a particular power option over its full life cycle,” Professor Bradlow said.
“Australia should not rule out using any viable energy sources, particularly those where the technology is advancing rapidly.”
Professor Bradlow said a new generation of Small Modular Nuclear Reactors was emerging which aimed to address many of the concerns related to nuclear power plants.
“For example, they are designed to be fail-safe and shut themselves down even in the absence of power, thus avoiding the sort of meltdown that occurred at Fukushima. They also reuse spent fuel and thus reduce the amount of high-level waste that needs to be disposed of.
“Because of their small modular nature they are economically much more flexible than existing large scale nuclear power plants.”
Professor Bradlow said the Academy was ready to contribute to the further development of evidence-based energy policy.

I personally love this game, but I also have mentally slapped on the title "burnout" ever since i saw that it was the next rendition of Burnout Paradise.
I can get why Need for speed fans are hating this game. The only mistake this game made is carrying the franchise NFS and not burnout (which i think was definitly more of EA pushing criterions hand than anything else)

My reason is the gameplay mechanics from Criterion. I love the old NFS games; the ones with Ferraris until Hot Pursuit 2. After I played this for four hours on my compy, I couldn't deal with this compared to Forza Horizon. Sheesh, Matt and Craig shouldn't get acquired by EA in the very beginning.

SSM Health to cut 1 percent of job force
About 350 system-wide to lose jobs
MADISON, Wis. — A major health care provider in Dane County is cutting its workforce, a company spokeswoman said Thursday.
SSM Health spokeswoman Kim Sveum said in a statement that it will have to let go about one percent of its workers. The system employs 35,000 workers system-wide across four states, Sveum said. That means about 350 positions will be cut.
“Like all health systems, we must continuously evaluate our operations to ensure we are providing services as efficiently and effectively as possible,” Sveum said in a statement. “As a result, we have identified some operational improvements necessary to better meet the needs of those we serve.”
Sveum said where possible, SSM Health would work to find the employees affected by the cuts comparable positions within the company.
The SSM Health network, which is based in St. Louis, includes St. Mary’s Hospitals in Madison and Janesville, Dean Medical Group and more.

By Ed Treleven
A state appeals court on Thursday agreed with a Dane County judge who ruled last year that a Madison city policy banning guns on city buses does not violate Wisconsin's concealed carry law.
Wisconsin Carry, a gun rights group, contended that state law preempted the policy. But the state 4th District Court of Appeals said that, as written, state law doesn't bar the rule, which prohibits guns on Metro Transit buses.
"Applying the language of (the state statute) as written, we agree with the circuit court and the city that the statute plainly preempts only 'ordinances' and 'resolutions,'" Judge Paul Lundsten wrote for the three-judge panel. "And, we agree, it is clear that the bus rule is not an 'ordinance' or 'resolution' under case law providing generally accepted meanings for those terms."
Wisconsin Carry lawyer John Moore said the group has not decided whether it will appeal the decision to the state Supreme Court.
Wisconsin Carry claimed that the Metro Transit policy violates the 2011 law allowing licensed persons to carry concealed weapons. The court said that while Wisconsin Carry asserted that the law preempts the Metro rule, the group did not argue that a rule adopted by a city agency, such as the city of Madison's Parking and Transit Commission, fits the meaning of either "ordinance" or "resolution."
"To the contrary," Lundsten wrote, "Wisconsin Carry concedes at the outset of its briefing that the bus rule is not, in the words of Wisconsin Carry, 'an enacted ordinance or an adopted resolution.' This is a significant concession."
Lundsten wrote that Wisconsin Carry essentially argued that the state Legislature did not mean what it said in writing the statute, asking instead that the court surmise that the Legislature "intended to achieve a more general preemption of locally generated firearms regulation."
But the court must assume that the Legislature's intent is expressed in the language that it used, Lundsten wrote, not unwritten intent. Had the Legislature intended to prohibit local agencies from regulating firearms, it would have said so, he wrote.
While Wisconsin Carry argued that it was absurd to conclude that the Legislature would have let municipal agencies do what municipalities themselves could not, the court said that the Legislature could have easily written the law differently had it chosen to do so.
"As the city notes, no municipal agency has the power to regulate firearms as broadly as a municipality," Lundsten wrote. "That is, agency actions are limited in scope to areas of agency responsibility. Thus, it may be that the legislature did not impose a more sweeping prohibition precisely because the legislature intended to leave the door open to more limited regulation of firearms, such as the bus rule here."

In this Morocco Photo Tour, we explore the spectacular landscapes and ancient Medinas of Morocco's south.
Starting in Marrakesh, we will embark on a nine-day adventure that takes us across the high Atlas toward Ait Ben Haddou, where we will photograph sunset and sunrise. From there, we continue our journey south into the Erg Chigaga. For two days, we enjoy the hospitality of Camp Al Koutban amid countless photo spots.
Afterward, we head further into the wilderness for one night under the stars in our wild camp. We set our tents among jagged peaks - our subjects for sunset and night photography. Next, we head to Tafraoute, surrounded by beautiful hills and mountains providing spectacular views.
After one night in our beautiful hotel, we continue to the coast. Our final stop of the tour is the wind city Essaouira. We enjoy two days of architecture and street photography to conclude our adventure.
Morocco Photo Tour Itinerary
You find a detailed itinerary of the tour with information about what to bring on Wild Morocco's tour page. Wild Morocco hosts this tour together with me. I have done four tours in Morocco with them - two private and two photo tours. I know the team well and trust their expertise in planning the tour and getting us securely to all the different photo locations.
Together, we designed this photo adventure to get you off the beaten path to places that are difficult to visit. Traveling into the Erg Chigaga requires 4x4 vehicles and experienced drivers. The wild camp is even farther away from civilization. Traveling with Wild Morocco, you don't have to worry about any of this and you can also be sure to stay in beautiful hotels, Riads, and Berber camps.
Below, I share some information and inspiration from the places we visit during the tour.
Marrakesh and Jemaa el-Fnaa
Marrakesh is the first stop of the tour. It's one of Marocco's largest cites with a big Medina and beautiful photo spots. We will stay one night to explore the busy Medina and the famous Jemaa el-Fnaa square. In the evening, this place is bustling with life. Surrounding the square are many restaurants with rooftop terraces. We will get up there for sunset to photograph the scenery into blue hour while enjoying some of the traditional mint tea.
We will also explore the labyrinth of the Medina for some street and architecture photography. The best time for it is early morning, when it's less crowded, and Marrakesh just starts to wake up.
Ait Ben Haddou
Day two brings us across the high Atlas to Ait Ben Haddou. This town has been the setting of many Hollywood movies - Gladiator being one of the most popular. We will stay close to town in a beautiful Kasbah and have the chance to photograph and explore Ait Ben Haddou for sunset and sunrise. Here, you'll want a long lens of around 200mm to get the best shots.
Erg Chigaga Desert
The highlight of this Morocco photo tour is undoubtedly the visit to the Erg Chigaga dunes. This spectacular place is filled with many photo spots. We camp amid the dunes in a beautiful and comfortable Berber camp. We will enjoy great company, food, and several walks through the dunes.
Once the moon sets around midnight, the sky will come to life with countless stars. There's hardly a better place to photograph the night sky than the desert. So that's what we'll do. Two hours before sunrise, the Milky Way will span the eastern horizon, providing the perfect photo subject.
You can learn more about the Erg Chigaga in my Erg Chigaga Photography Guide.
Canyon Landscape near Foum Zguid
When I visited Morocco and the desert for the first time, we drove past a spectacular mountain landscape deep in Morocco's wilderness. When we designed the tour, I knew we had to include this place in the itinerary.
There are no hotels or camps nearby. That's why we decided to do a wild camping experience. We'll have tents, mattresses, blankets, a cooking tent, dinner under the stars, and a campfire.
And we'll once more have the chance to capture the stars. The rocky landscape with the jagged mountains at the horizon provides the perfect backdrop.
Tafraoute Anti Atlas
Tafraoute is known for its painted rocks. In my opinion, those are not a photo subject and something to avoid for photographers. It's why I was a bit skeptical during my first visit, not knowing if I would find good photo spots.
These doubts were quickly dispelled as I started exploring the hills near Tafraoute. There's so much potential, and after climbing many of the hills in the area, I found the perfect photo spot.
We'll visit it for sunset during the tour.
The wind city Essaouira provides the perfect finish for the photo tour. With its wonderful Medina and the spectacular ramparts, we'll not run short of photo opportunities during the two days we spent in the city. I've created an Essaouira photo guide, in which you can already find some inspiration for the mix of street, architecture, and cityscape photography we'll practice there.
Behind the Scenes
Below I've collected some photos showing the behind-the-scenes of the photo tour. Here you get some more impressions from the places we visit.
I also recorded a behind-the-scenes video during the first photo tour we did. You can watch it below.
How To Take Part in This Adventure
If you want to join us from February 1st till February 9th in 2025, head over to Wild Morocco and send them a booking request. They will be in touch and provide you with additional details. Reach out to me for any further questions or to inquire directly.
The tour is limited to five participants - so don't wait too long and secure your spot!

Place: Norrey-en-Bessin, Normandy, France
A heavily damaged Panzerkampfwagen V Panther ausf A of the 3.Kompanie/1.Abteilung/SS-Panzer-Regiment 12/12.SS-Panzer-Division "Hitlerjugend" lies flipped over next to the road between Norrey-en-Bessin and Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse. Note the sign attached that says "remove gearbox." After the failure of the 1st Abteilung's 1st and 4th Companies of the 12th SS Panzer Regiment to seize Bretteville-l'Orgueilleuse on the night of June 8-9, 1944, SS-Oberführer (later SS-Brigadeführer) Kurt "Panzer" Meyer ordered the recently arrived 3rd Company to attack Norrey in a daring daylight armored thrust. Again outpacing their infantry with orders to stop only to fire, the Panthers turned from the Caen-Bayeux Highway into the fields to attack the 1st Battalion, The Regina Rifle Regiment, 3rd Canadian Division. However, expecting the Canadians to open fire with their 6-pounder 57mm (2.24 inch) anti-tank guns and thus turning towards them to put their 80mm frontal armor to the Canadians, the Panthers under Hauptmann Luedemann exposed their side and rear flanks to fire from nine Canadian Shermans of C Squadron, 25th Armored Delivery "Elgin Regiment" who were bringing replacement tanks as reinforcements from Juno Beach. The Elgins' tanks included Sherman Fireflies armed with a 17-pounder 77mm (3 inch) anti-tank gun. Seven Panthers were destroyed; fifteen of thirty-five crewmen were killed; the rest were burned or wounded. As the Panthers withdrew, they were hit by artillery fire from the Canadians and Allied ships offshore. Later, this Panther was overturned by Allied Engineers to remove it from the road. It is often reported that this tank was hit by fighter-bombers; the damage to the hull bottom is the result of tests by the engineers to see what explosives could damage the tank.


Pool Room dehumidification ensures that you will be moisture free, thus saving you on energy costs.
Pool Room Dehumidification
If you can’t get the moisture out, you are in for trouble! We can help in reducing pool room energy costs.
By controlling indoor swimming pool room humidity and room air temperature a stabilized room environment is achieved by the dehumidifier. Very little outside air, and the energy to heat or cool it, is needed. Conventional indoor pool room systems waste huge amounts of energy by exhausting large volumes of previously heated or cooled air to the outdoors. Most times the air replacing the exhausted air contains more moisture than is ideal for an indoor swimming pool room.
This process destabilizes the indoor pool room causing unpleasant conditions to exist. Our dehumidification systems’ primary function is to protect the investment you made in your indoor swimming pool room. Normal ventilation systems are hit or miss propositions at best. They waste huge amounts of energy dollars and only marginally protect your indoor pool room.
All of the dehumidifiers we install are factory test run to assure efficiency and capacity. The operation of the dehumidifier is completely automatic. A humidistat starts the dehumidifier upon a build-up of humidity in the room and stops when the set point is reached. The room heating or cooling is controlled by an automatic change over thermostat that controls the optional remote condenser.
Advantages Of The Dehumidifiers We Install:
Humidity Control: Stabilize room conditions through dehumidification
Indoor Pool Room Heating: Recovering energy from the dehumidification process will often heat an entire pool room for the cost of operating the dehumidifier alone. Indoor Pool Room Cooling: An optional remote condenser will allow the dehumidification system to cool the pool room during the warm months.
Pool Water Heating: An optional pool water heating coil contained as part of the dehumidifier can heat the pool water under certain conditions.
Supplemental Pool Room Heating: An optional heater may be added to the dehumidification system to add additional room heating when needed.
Easy to Maintain: The dehumidification system is a closed loop system with nothing to oil or lubricate. Simple return air filter maintenance is all that is needed.
Installation: The dehumidification system is typically a ducted system similar to the heating and cooling presently in your home.

Questionable lawsuits are not that uncommon against professional sports stars for even the most minor incidents. Successful athletes are typically worth millions of dollars and the general consensus is that they would rather pay out a sum that may seem to them to be no more than a day’s pay than endure unwanted negative publicity.
In a slight departure from that axiom, a valet outside the Fontainebleau Hotel on Miami Beach has filed a personal injury suit against Gloria James, mother of NBA superstar, LebBron James, alleging that her slap and profanities directed to him during a confrontation caused him emotional distress, humiliation, mental anguish, medical expenses, loss of earning capacity and loss of enjoyment of life.
Even though he is only asking for a sum of more than $15,000, which gives you an idea of the minor nature of the incident, the lawsuit may seem to some people as an example of someone taking advantage of a person with potentially deep pockets.
There is a surveillance video of the incident, although the scene is difficult to discern because of the distance and a large pillar that blocks out the confrontation.
The valet, Roosevelt Sorel, does not appear to be overly intimidated, if at all, in the video posted on MiamiHerald.com on April 13, 2011. In fact, Sorel appears to push Ms. James to the ground after she slaps him, although she may have fallen on her own accord. According to witnesses, she was intoxicated. Witnesses also confirmed that she did slap Mr. Sorel.
Ms. James was arrested and charged with battery and public intoxication, which does help Sorel’s injury suit. It will be interesting to see if the parties settle out of court in a case that court watchers will certainly keep tabs on.


Blues rocker Joe Bonamassa has finally satisfied the desires of his long time fan base in releasing the double live cd Live From Nowhere In Particular.
Bonamassa was born in 1977. It was the era that classic rock artists like Led Zeppelin, Yes, ZZ Top, Robin Trower and many others dominated FM radio stations. This was before VH-1 and MTV came along. Through touring the stadium and arena circuit, these bands built a reputation as performers who took no prisoners with their volcanic riffs and building a wall of sound that was thrilling on every audio and visual level.
Joe seems to understand this. Working endlessly all over America and Europe, he has acquired monster sized chops sputtering out blues notes that appeal to the youngsters and middle-aged adults who came of age during the golden age of rock.
When listening to this live set, one can draw a conclusion that Bonamassa belongs to that same pantheon of guitarists who enriched us as youngsters in the past. There is plenty of light and shade on this cd to hold listener interest. The keyboards of Rick Melick add texture behind Bonamassa's soaring lead lines in the ballad "Asking Around For You." The Jethro Tull rocker "A New Day Yesterday" sees Joe firing off power riffs fusing blues notes. Then the song abruptly detours into the coda of the "Starship Trooper."
Equally impressive is Bonamassa's touch on acoustic guitar. He plucks clean crisp notes on a metronomic "Ball Peen Hammer." He keeps the acoustic on for "If Heartaches Were Nickels" which utilizes an entirely different approach from its electrified shredfest rave-up. It's only in "Woke Up Dreaming" that Joe goes for the jugular in playing so many notes a second. His assault on the acoustic guitar is mesmerizing as he races like some uncontrollable demon.
Bonamassa's Les Paul guitar work recalls many British greats. The Jeff Beck pin is worn on the instrumental "Django" with Joe reaching for the cosmos with spacy notes. It doesn't last for long as the band suddenly launches into ZZ Top's "Just Got Paid" with Joe's British sound still intact. Which is just as well anyway. The band's tempos go through twists and turns with Bonamassa teasing notes through volume swells and pedal laden effects. You know it's building to something. And sure enough Bonamassa rips through the mid-section of the Zeppelin classic "Dazed and Confused" that would impress old ZOSO himself. But it quickly comes back to Just Got Paid. The Eastern incense of "India" is a heady aroma full of intoxicating fumes that lift when Joe plays the familiar lines of "MountainTime" which is a longtime staple in his setlist.
Joe isn't stuck with waxing nostalgia. He's injecting venom so the blues isn't on life support only. There's the Buford Pusser attitude on the celebratory "Bridge To Better Days." The hard rock shuffle of the blueser "Walk In My Shadows" can be a party favorite with its catchy guitar lines. Joe doesn't forget about his idols on this side of the pond. "Another Kinda Love" can be an ode to Mountain with its Leslie West fat chords.
Bonamassa tips his hat to many vintage rockers with this release. The blues is there. It just doesn't exist in the 12 bar format only. Joe's vision of it goes a lot farther. We would be in trouble if it didnt.

Blue Jeans tackles fragmentation in video conferencing
Send this to a friend
Video conferencing has been around since AT&T introduced the Picturephone at the 1964 World’s Fair, but despite many improvements and a lot of interest, the technology has not yet become a default form of communication in the same way as the phone. Blue Jeans Network Inc. co-founder and CEO Krish Ramakrishnan thinks the problem is fragmentation — there are many different video conferencing companies in the market, but each company only makes calls to its own products, not those of its competitors.
Blue Jeans’ solution? Don’t make another video conferencing product, make a service that can connect them all using new approaches like cloud computing. That approach appealed to investors.
“The No. 1 question I got from VCs was, ‘People have been saying for years that this is the year of video conferencing. What makes you any different?’ I had a very easy answer for them,” Ramakrishnan said. “It’s just like Einstein said. You can’t fix a problem with the same people who caused that problem in the first place.”
The company has raised $48.5 million to date from Accel Partners, Norwest Venture Partners and New Enterprise Associates. In June it raised its latest round, a $25 million Series C, in just one week, Ramakrishnan said.
Blue Jeans Network’s cloud service enables video conferencing hardware from companies like Cisco Systems Inc., Polycom Inc. and Sony Corp. to connect with each other, as well as mobile devices like the iPad and iPhone, software services like Skype and Google Video Chat, and even directly to browsers with a new browser plugin released late last month. Users can also call in to Blue Jeans Network meetings from their phones to connect with just voice. The service costs $299 a year per user. The company has lined up customers in a range of industries, including Facebook Inc., Foursquare Labs Inc., Stanford University, Bain Capital LLC, the law firm Heidrick & Struggles LLP and chipmaker ARM Holdings plc.

In 3 bullets, summarize why this product or service is different from the competition and deserves recognition:
- More detailed traffic visibility than alternatives:
Full visibility into network traffic up to Layer 7; 3100+ protocols and applications classified; classification of traffic encapsulated into all types of tunnels (VLAN, GRE, VPN, TOR...); ability to create custom application and protocol signatures and ability to visualize detailed traffic between VMs or containers
- Extraction of metadata:
5000 application metadata extracted (more than any in the industry); protocol details: File extensions, content…; unique real-time Deep File Inspection capabilities; precise end point identification (device, IP, user, domain name, etc.)
- Ease of integration:
Scales to n x 10 Gbps of traffic per probe on commodity hardware; cloud-native architecture optimized for virtualized environments (OpenStack, VMware) and cloud-based applications; centralized management using standardized interface (REST, netconf, ...)
Enea’s Qosmos Probe is a Deep Packet Inspection (DPI) sensor that represents a new form factor, leveraging the granular visibility of DPI to complement existing security tech stacks and significantly strengthen threat hunting capabilities. DPI is a proven technology, widely used in cybersecurity to detect and mitigate threats. It is embedded in NG firewalls, UTM, secure gateways, and different types of threat analysis tools to ensure rapid and reliable detection of malware attempts and security breaches.
Used as a complement to traditional network security solutions, the Qosmos Probe is an expert tool for network forensics and threat hunting. It streamlines investigations and improves time-to-detection by capturing and analyzing 100% of traffic in real-time, including traffic shape (volumes, origin & destination, device type/VM, etc…) and content (attachments, encapsulated traffic, etc…). Through regular signature updates, the Qosmos Probe can recognize an extensive range of protocols, including new and outdated protocols, and identify devices/servers/VMs that they cross. When an anomaly is detected, such as irregular use of a protocol or use of an outdated protocol, an alert is generated. Hunters can then isolate the threat and protect network resources before the virus becomes active.
In addition, the metadata extracted from traffic flows by the Qosmos Probe provides a rich information feed that can be used to boost machine learning for User and Entity Behavior Analytics (UEBA) and Next Gen SIEM, strengthening threat analytics. This translates into more accurate alerts, shorter time-to-detection, and fewer false positives.
The Qosmos Probe stores traffic information it captures in a database, providing rapid and easy query and visualization. The sensor provides high information resolution using a fraction of the storage required for full packet capture because it only requires traffic metadata (sender, receiver, device type, file type, etc.), discarding irrelevant content, such as encrypted data or video content.

COPPER BASIN MINING DISTRICT, OPERABLE UNIT 3
COPPERHILL, POLK COUNTY, TENNESSEE
Elevated concentrations of copper and lead were detected in waste material, surface soil, and sediment. Prolonged human contact with this contamination could pose a public health hazard, particularly in young children who are more likely to ingest contaminants during hand-to-mouth activities. However, under current conditions, young, unattended children are unlikely to access the area. If the land were converted to residential use, children could be exposed to contaminants at levels of health concern.
Access to the site is unrestricted, so trespassing does occur. In particular, the area around the LMFP is used by motorcyclists and drivers of other off-road vehicles. Although one waste sample contained lead at 3,600 ppm and one surface soil sample contained lead at 1,100 ppm, the lead content of most of the other samples was less than 1,000 ppm. This level would not be expected to pose a health hazard to adults who occasionally trespass on site.
In an earlier investigation , cyanide was detected in a surface soil sample at a concentration of 140 ppm. (Cyanide was used in the flotation process.) This concentration of cyanide in soil would not pose a public health hazard to children or adults.
Water samples from surface bodies of water in Operable Unit 3 contained concentrations of lead and manganese in excess of health-based guidelines for drinking water. However, water from the creeks and ponds on-site is not used for potable purposes. Therefore, surface water contamination does not pose a public health hazard.
The deteriorating buildings and structures at the LMFP pose a physical hazard to trespassers at the site. There is also an open mine shaft partially filled with water that poses a physical hazard. Several years ago a fence was erected around portions of the LMFP. However, high acidity in the soil corroded through the metal fence posts, and the fence has fallen down.

Steve Hezzlewood, Pax Britannica, RSM and X Range
This post is by way of being a bit of a place holder and statement of intent, as I try to pull together some material of interest about this complicated character. My defining moment of contact with him was being blown away in around 1985 by adverts for a lovely new range of 20mm Colonials under the title Pax Britannica. Having sent off a largish order, I heard no more - it was only a few years ago realised I was not the only one to have had this experience.
Steve Hezzlewood designed some of the best, anatomically proportioned figures - in 20mm the Pax Pritannica and RSM Colonials, Napoleonics and American Civil War figures, now available from Dayton Painting Consortium in the States; the RSM 25mm Seven Years War Range (also available from DPC); and the Hinchliffe X Range American War of Independence - now available from Ian Hinds.
If you have not seen any of these figures, you really should take a look at them. The 20mm figures are what I would call small 20mm - think Newline.
For more on Steve Hezzlewood, including his Raid on Boucharde article from the Wargames Manual of 1983, can be found over on DC's Unfashionably Shiny blog.
There is also a history of Pax Britannica on Vintage20Mil.

Idaho Falls – Idaho Falls School District 91 is changing its quarantine requirements. An email sent to District 91 parents reads:
Idaho Falls School District 91 is changing its quarantine requirements for students and staff who have been in close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 to align with the new CDC guidance released this week. D91 will now allow students and/or staff who have been quarantining because of close contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 to return to school/work:
- After 10 days as long as they have notexperienced any symptoms while on quarantine.
- After 7 days if they have a negative testAND have not experienced any symptoms while on quarantine. CDC advises tests may be conducted 48 hours before the end of the quarantine period in anticipation of testing delays, but the quarantine period must be at least seven days.
The isolation period for students and/or staff who have tested positive for COVID-19 has not changed. Students and/or staff should isolate for 10 days from symptom onset in accordance with health guidance.
We will continue working closely with Eastern Idaho Public Health officials and will adjust our operational plans as new information becomes available. In the meantime, as cases rise in Bonneville County and the surrounding area, we ask students, teachers, parents, patrons and staff to be diligent in following the health guidance. Most importantly, please stay home if we are sick or showing symptoms of COVID-19; wash your hands regularly or use hand sanitizer; stay six feet apart from others whenever possible and wear a mask.
Thank you for your ongoing support during these difficult times.
