Retail worker pleads guilty to fraudulently seeking $8 million+ through CARES Act program
August 10, 2020 COVID-19 actions, FDIC 0
A project manager employed by a major retailer has pleaded guilty to bank fraud charges for fraudulently seeking more than $8 million in forgivable Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) bank loans, the Federal Deposit Insurance Crop. (FDIC) Office of Inspector General (OIG) said Monday.
The OIG said that Benjamin Hayford, 32, of Centerton, Ark., pleaded guilty to one count of bank fraud and four counts of false statements to a financial institution before a U.S. district court judge in the Northern District of Oklahoma. Sentencing has been scheduled for Nov. 4.
As part of his guilty plea, the OIG reported, Hayford admitted that he sought millions of dollars in forgivable PPP loans (backed by the Small Business Administration, which administers the PPP created under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act [CARES Act]) from multiple banks by claiming fictitious payroll expenses and providing falsified supporting documentation. It said Hayford also admitted to making false representations to a financial institution concerning the date that a limited liability partnership for which he applied for relief was established.
This case was investigated by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) OIG, FDIC OIG, and SBA OIG.

Parameter and predictive outcomes of model simplification
Ty A Watson, John E Doherty, Steen Christensen
Simplification is an unavoidable aspect of model usage. Even complex, physically based models are simplifications of reality. More profound simplification is required to construct the "lumped parameter" models of semiphysical basis that are often employed for simulation of large-scale processes operative over one or many watersheds. Simplification can lead to model predictive error beyond that which would be expected on the basis of study-area information deficits alone. Building on a recently developed mathematical description of the model simplification process, this work employs linear subspace methods to analyze in detail the nature and ramifications of that process when applied to a 1-D, Richards equation-based unsaturated zone model used to predict recharge to a groundwater system. Two simplified versions of this model are examined. The first achieves simplification through assuming vertical parameter uniformity. The second achieves simplification through use of a lumped parameter model in place of the Richards equation-based model. Relationships between parameters employed by the complex model and those used by each of the simplified models are analyzed. The nature of predictive errors incurred through simplification is explored. Also explored is the ability of the calibration process to decrease the propensity for model error in making some predictions, while increasing the propensity for model error in the making of others (an outcome that may be considered counterintuitive from a Bayesian perspective, but which is a natural consequence of suboptimal simplification).

Fans' relationship with Dale Jr. embodies NASCAR's family lifestyle
Had you asked me a couple weeks ago, I would have said there have been only two occasions since this column's inception when I have dreaded sitting down to write it.
Now, there are three of those occasions. After 18 seasons and more than 600 NASCAR Cup Series races, Dale Earnhard Jr. publicly announced on April 25 that his driving career would conclude at the end of the 2017 season. And for one stunned and very heart-wrenching moment, the world seemed to stop on its axis.
The news was very sad and slightly shocking, but not completely unexpected. Earnhardt missed half of the 2016 racing season while recovering from yet another head injury, the latest in a string of concussions that has beleaguered him for the past several years.
Obviously the decision was not made hastily – the beloved driver of the No. 88 Chevy for Hendrick Motorsports has been delaying contract extension discussions with team owner Rick Hendrick, and in a number of recent interviews has mentioned his desire to start a family with his new wife, Amy.
"Family" is a NASCAR lifestyle. There's no law stating you have to spend the majority of your life in racetrack garages and infields to live it that way, but in Junior's case, that's what happened, He grew up under both the shadow and the tutelage of arguably the most revered athlete in NASCAR history, and even now, at the age of 42, it's something that weighs heavily on his mind. To say that Dale Earnhardt Sr. was a tough act to follow is putting it mildly.
"I saw at an early age that growing up in that man's shadow was going to be a real hard challenge. I knew racing would put me in that shadow … But I wanted to race," he said.
"I knew the odds of me really having any talent at all and being able to do it were thin. They are for anyone. So at a very young age all I wanted to do was be able to make a living driving cars. I didn't set goals. I didn't dream of winning championships or Daytona 500s … I just wanted to be able to do it. I was afraid of not being able to do it."
Regardless of his fear and uncertainty, that mission was definitively accomplished. Over the course of his racing career, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has to date won two NASCAR Xfinity Series championships; 13 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series poles; 26 wins, 149 top five and 253 top ten finishes in the Cup Series; eight appearances in the post-season Chase playoffs; and perhaps the most personal and important number of all, 14 consecutive Most Popular Driver awards, a NASCAR record.
You don't have to be the best to be the best-loved.
"As you know, I missed a few races last year and during that time I had to face the realization that my driving career may have already ended without me so much as getting a vote on the table. Of course, in life we're not promised a vote, and that's especially true in racing," Earnhardt said.
"I guess what I'm saying is I have accomplished way more than I've ever dreamed, way more than I ever thought I'd accomplish."
How wonderful to hear these words – which sound an awful lot like contentment to me — from the guy whose father once publicly described as being more interested in hanging out in his motorhome listening to the "Smashing Pumpkinheads" than in honing his racing craft. (Somewhat eerily, this brings to mind lyrics from one of the Smashing Pumpkins' (the band's actual name) best songs: No more promise, no more sorrow/no longer will I follow/can anybody hear me/I just want to be me …)
I believe I speak for the majority when I say that's what we want for him, as well. It would have been so easy for Junior's success, money, fame and incredible popularity to go straight to his head, spawning an ego of epic proportions, but to his credit, quite the opposite happened.
"The one thing that I enjoy most about racing is my relationships with my team, my friendships with those guys and working with them. When it goes right, we win races, we celebrate together, and that's awesome. But the friendships are much more important to me," he said.
"I don't have to be the guy holding the trophy, but being part of that success, I really enjoy. I think I can replicate that in the next chapter of my life. And I don't think that anything in my professional career has meant more to me than the treatment I've received from track to track by the fans that so dearly love our sport.
"For the longest time, I let racing be who I was instead of what I did," he continued. I've got a whole other life beyond driving, and I really believe that. Outside of having a family, there's a lot of things in business that I'd love to see if I can succeed at. I think we got a glimpse of what that would be like … and it looks pretty awesome."

The yummiest guilt free brownies ever !
I'm backkkkk! Ok so I still haven't found a blog name that I'm loving, but I'm getting there… It's baking way in the oven…*sniff sniff* smells great…just not quite there yet….. haha!
Anywayssss…………. since I last blogged, I have been experimenting with recipes and would love to share one with you.
Over the last couple of weeks I have been having some gut issues and have been told I am not allowed sugar, dairy or gluten for a period of time.. I mean like, whyyy me! Do they not know my life revolves around cheese, cheese, sweets, breads and more cheese! I'm all for limiting ingredients and having them in moderation…Even though I am a cake decorator, I love my healthy options as well, but this is tough! So needless to say, when I was told I'm strictly not allowed to consume these food groups, my world was shattered (I kid you not I even tried to debate my way out of it putting forth really strong arguments *sigh*) tragic.
I feel like it is a given that when you are not allowed to eat something you crave it so much more, its like something triggers in your mind and you fixate on the forbidden even more .
All I craved was chocolate like something so moist and decadent oozing with rich chocolatey goodness. But because of the fact I wasn't allowed any sugar, I couldn't buy anything because like WHAT can you find these days that are 100% gluten free, sugar free and dairy free that genuinely satisfy your cravings ?? There isn't much right ?! So I decided to play around with a few natural ingredients in the pantry and come up with my ultimate go to SF,GF,DF fudgey brownies.
Now let me tell you, It took a bit of experimenting, of throwing everything together, of pulling some ingredients out, adding some others in, etc but I mastered it and it is ohhh sooooo goooood!
Instead of sugar, I substituted natural, organic honey, you may also want to substitute it for natural coconut sugar.
Instead of dairy I substituted almond milk, not the long life milk, the fresh almond milk.
And instead of gluten, I used almond meal, you can use gluten free flower, spelt flower whatever your heart desires.

Renee Pappas: "I Enjoy Promoting Greek Culture & Art" (VIDEO)
Written by Maria Athens
New Greek TV's featured Greek of the Week is Public Relations Strategist & Art Exhibition Consultant Renee Pappas.
A full on-air interview with Pappas on "In The Spotlight" hosted by New Greek TV President Yanna Darilis, can be viewed at the very bottom of this page.
The Greek-American's renowned entertainment career was established when she began as an International Famous Agency agent. She later worked as the Beach Boys' Personal Appearances Director, before joining Geffen-Roberts Management Company in 1972. Pappas' professional path has continued to flourish ever since.
Pappas, who currently resides in Chicago, has been a leader in the global promotion of Hellenic art and culture. Her work has been featured on CNN, Euronews and in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The International Herald Tribune, and Time Magazine, among other leading media portals.
The Greek advocate's clients include The Benaki Museum, The Basil and Elise Goulandris Museum of Contemporary Art, The Goulandris Museum of Cycladic Art, and The Goulandris Museum of Natural History. Pappas reigned as the National Hellenic Museum's Development Director beginning in 2013, for a year and a half.
This past March, the Public Relations Strategist & Art Exhibition Consultant joined Hilton Asmus Contemporary and works as its Marketing Director, along with other art and entertainment ventures.
As Pappas states at the conclusion of her interview, "I am very proud to be Greek. I spent a number of years in Greece promoting the things that I believe is important which is art and culture. All I can say is that I hope that there is a light soon at the end of the tunnel and that things will turn around. Unfortunately many times for things to change, things have to come to a turning point."

Thu Jan 30: Joshua 11
VICTORIES AND MOPPING UP: Joshua defeated a large alliance of southern armies in a single battle, then rapidly took one city after another. He quickly followed by crushing a colossal coalition of armies in the north. Then came years of mopping-up campaigns.
1 When King Jabin of Hazor heard the news about Israel's victories, he organized a coalition, including King Jobab of Madon, the king of Shimron, the king of Acshaph, 2 and the northern kings who ruled in the hill country, in the rift valley south of Kinnereth, in the foothills, and on the heights of Dor to the west. 3 Canaanites came from the east and west; Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, and Jebusites from the hill country; and Hivites from below Hermon in the area of Mizpah. 4 These kings came out with their armies; they were as numerous as the sand on the seashore and had a large number of horses and chariots. 5 All these kings gathered and joined forces at the Waters of Merom to fight Israel.
6 The Lord told Joshua, "Don't be afraid of them, for about this time tomorrow I will cause all of them to lie dead before Israel. You must hamstring their horses and burn their chariots." 7 Joshua and his whole army caught them by surprise at the Waters of Merom and attacked them. 8 The Lord handed them over to Israel, and they struck them down and chased them all the way to Greater Sidon, Misrephoth Maim, and the Mizpah Valley to the east. They struck them down until no survivors remained. 9 Joshua did to them as the Lord had commanded him; he hamstrung their horses and burned their chariots.
10 At that time Joshua turned, captured Hazor, and struck down its king with the sword, for Hazor was at that time the leader of all these kingdoms. 11 They annihilated everyone who lived there with the sword—no one who breathed remained—and burned Hazor.
12 Joshua captured all these royal cities and all their kings and annihilated them with the sword, as Moses the Lord's servant had commanded. 13 But Israel did not burn any of the cities located on mounds except for Hazor; it was the only one Joshua burned. 14 The Israelites plundered all the goods of these cities and the cattle, but they totally destroyed all the people and allowed no one who breathed to live. 15 Moses the Lord's servant passed on the Lord's commands to Joshua, and Joshua did as he was told. He did not ignore any of the commands the Lord had given Moses.
16 Joshua conquered the whole land, including the hill country, all the Negev, all the land of Goshen, the foothills, the rift valley, the hill country of Israel and its foothills, 17 from Mount Halak up to Seir, as far as Baal Gad in the Lebanon Valley below Mount Hermon. He captured all their kings and executed them. 18 Joshua campaigned against these kings for quite some time. 19 No city made peace with the Israelites (except the Hivites living in Gibeon); they had to conquer all of them, 20 for the Lord determined to make them obstinate so they would attack Israel. He wanted Israel to annihilate them without mercy, as he had instructed Moses.
21 At that time Joshua attacked and eliminated the Anakites from the hill country—from Hebron, Debir, Anab, and all the hill country of Judah and Israel. Joshua annihilated them and their cities. 22 No Anakites were left in Israelite territory, though some remained in Gaza, Gath, and Ashdod. 23 Joshua conquered the whole land, just as the Lord had promised Moses, and he assigned Israel their tribal portions. Then the land was free of war.
That's often the way life is: you experience major breakthroughs in burst of inspiration, followed by long periods of slow, steady – almost boring – plodding. You may wonder, "Why can't my entire life be a series of thrilling victories?" Sorry. You must learn to be satisfied with the glory days God gives you (Ecclesiastes 7:10).

Sports has the power to accomplish great things. It can break down the thickest barriers that divide us from one another. Over fifty years ago, Jackie Robinson and Roberto Clemente gave us a vision of a society where people are judged on their abilities, hard work, and perseverance. Just last week, Michael Sam, a football player from the University of Missouri, became the first NFL prospect to come out as openly gay. In doing so, he opened a new conversation about tolerance and acceptance. Today, we witness the ongoing ancient tradition of the Olympics, an event in which the world's nations put their geo-political differences aside in the name of sport.
We look to sports to shine a light upon people that disregards their race, religion, economic class, or sexuality. In our nation's armed forces we find the men and women who most personify values such as equality and dignity for all. These men and women live their lives devoted to protecting our nation, its people, and their freedom. Not enough can ever be done or said to fully honor or repay the debt that we, as citizens of a free nation, owe to their sacrifice.
This debate highlights two sources of deep pride for Edgewood ISD: one is the countless number of former students who have honored us by choosing to live lives of service to our country; the other is a remarkable individual who devoted himself passionately to a competitive sports program that is often overlooked or forgotten. It is a true tragedy, then, when community members become divided from one another when they have so much to celebrate. If the Edgewood ISD school board is guilty of any wrongdoing, it is guilty of dividing the community between these sources of pride. The only way to move forward from this controversy is to reach a compromise that honors Edgewood's past while continuing to encourage and inspire its current students.
A name does more than identify a person or place. It establishes an identity and sets a standard to which we all can aspire. Frank Mata devoted his life to Edgewood ISD as a teacher, coach, mentor, and friend. When he passed away in 1999, he left a legacy in Edgewood's athletic program that the school district chose to honor by renaming the former "Edgewood Stadium" "Frank Mata Stadium." When Edgewood's students see Frank Mata's name on their stadium, they should be reminded of what an individual can accomplish. It should remind them that someone just like them, someone from Edgewood, made a difference that touched the lives of many people.
Our students should look at the names that adorn the places in their community and feel proud of where they come from. They should feel the same sense of pride when they see the name on their stadium as they might feel when they see signs pointing to the Cleto Rodriguez freeway, Cesar Chavez boulevard, or Gus Garcia Middle School. These namesakes do more than celebrate the lives of single individuals. They serve as monuments for future generations, reminding them of what people just like them can achieve.
Honoring our veterans is a truly commendable undertaking. But we cannot dishonor the legacy of Frank Mata—what he worked for and what he achieved—by allowing his name to disappear from our memory. The Edgewood ISD school board now has the opportunity to unite the community around its alumni who have been part of causes much greater than themselves. The "Frank Mata Field at the Edgewood Veteran's Sports Complex" is the most fair and proper name for the stadium under the current circumstances. It would honor Edgewood's proud tradition of duty to community and service to country more than ever before.


In a city where ever-rising rents often hamper potential small business owners from opening a storefront, mobile retail has become a popular alternative. Food trucks certainly led the way over the last few years, but the business model has spread beyond the culinary world and now includes a flower shop on wheels.
A year ago, Ashley Custer and Kristin Heckler introduced New York to Uprooted Flower Truck. The business parks in neighborhoods around Manhattan to sell their New York-inspired, hand-tied bouquets available in three sizes: studio, loft, and penthouse. The driving force behind Uprooted is to not only bring flowers directly to New Yorkers, but to help people engage with and hopefully gain a deeper appreciation for them. 6sqft recently spoke with Kristin to learn more about this budding business and how it's developing a unique identity in the city.

On the western edge of the former brown coal mines in Søby, an area in central Jutland in Denmark that is now protected as a natural and cultural heritage site, a public eyesore hides behind dirt mounds and fences: the waste disposal and recycling facility known as AFLD Fasterholt. Established in the 1970s, when prevailing perceptions were that the entire mining area was a polluted wasteland, the AFLD Fasterholt waste and recycling plant has since changed in response to new EU waste management regulations, as well as the unexpected proliferation of non-human life in the area. Based on field research at this site—an Anthropocene landscape in the heartland of an EU-configured welfare-state—this article is a contribution to the multispecies ethnography and political ecology of wastelands. We argue that "waste" is a co-species, biopolitical happening—a complex symbolic, political, biological, and technological history. We combine ethnographic fieldwork, social history, wildlife observation, and spatial analysis to follow what we call "undomestication," the reconfiguration of human projects by more-than-human forms of life into novel assemblies of species, politics, resources, and technologies. Waste landscapes, this article argues, are the result of unheralded multispecies collaboration that can be traced empirically by attending ethnographically to multispecies forms of "gain-making," the ways in which humans and other species leverage difference to find economic and ecological opportunity.

Well officially got my CDL yesterday. Passed my tanker endorsement but hazmat and I didn't get along so well. I'll have to take it again Thursday. But all in all I'm glad that things are working out so I can provide for my family. I accepted a position with Tankstar this afternoon. Life is coming around and I can't wait to get out on the road. I'll be sure to document my training with the company and hope it is beneficial to future drivers.
I was just wondering if anyone on this forum either worked for Tankstar or had any buddies who did?
It was because I wouldn't need them to pay for the company training. At least that's how it was explained to me. My GI Bill covers the cost therefore I wouldn't need them to pay for it thus allowing me to make more from the start.
Ok so I had a phone conversation today with a recruiter for CRST and he informed me that because of my prior service to the military that instead of being paid the 26 cents per mile I would be looking at 40 cents per mile. Can anyone actually verify this? Everyone knows how recruiters can be and at the end of the day their job is to recruit so just looking for a little clarification.
What's a good company to start out with?
Hello all. My name is Brandon. I'll be leaving the Army in the next 7 days and heading off to school through an army program to get my CDL in July. I was just curious as to what everyone here thought would be a good company to start out with. I know everyone says it's based on what you want but I want to see who people with experience would start out with and why so I can begin compiling a list of companies to look into. Any information is greatly appreciated.

3D Capsule Networks for Object Classification with Weight Pruning
Burak Kakillioglu, Ao Ren, Yanzhi Wang, Senem Velipasalar
Aging Studies Institute
The proliferation of 3D sensors, due to the increased demand for 3D data, induced the 3D computer vision research in the last decade, and 3D data processing has gained a lot of interest. As in many other applications in computer vision, deep learning-based methods were quickly applied to 3D data classification and have become the state-of-the-art in this area. More recently, capsule networks, which are novel neural structures, have been introduced to enhance the ability of neural networks to better capture the parts-relationship, which yields more accurate classification with less training data. Moreover, deploying deep machine learning models on mobile platforms requires the models to be optimized due to limited memory and computational constraints. In this work, we propose methods to boost the accuracies of a standard 3D CNN-based and a Capsule Network-based classifier, help the training to better generalize the data distribution with limited data, and optimize the models for resource-constrained environments, such as mobile platforms. We also show that the introduction of capsules to 3D object classification pipeline improves the classification performance with limited training data, while a specifically optimized weight pruning method keeps the model compact enough for mobile deployment. Our broad spectrum of experiments show that proposed methods improve the performance of the base model while significantly reducing the memory and computation requirements.

Where does the Freedom Trail end?
If the Freedom Trail starts at the Boston Common, you might be wondering, where does it end? The trail winds its way through 2.5 miles of Boston historical sites, and its final site is the Bunker Hill Monument. You'll have to cross over the Charles River and into Charlestown, but once you're there, you're in for a treat. The Bunker Hill Monument is a 221-foot obelisk, and yes, you can climb up to its top via a long, long staircase.
Freedom Trail – Bunker Hill Monument
Traditionally, the Bunker Hill monument is where the Freedom Trail ends. However, the trail can be started at the Monument and finished at the Boston Common. The trail is non-sequential, so you can visit the sites in whatever order you'd like. There are sixteen stops in total on the Freedom Trail. Each stop on the Freedom Trail is a site of historical significance for Boston. You can see the Old North Church, the Massachusetts State House, the Granary Burial Ground, and many more.
Why was the Bunker Hill Monument Built?
The Monument was built as a memorial to the Battle of Bunker Hill, one of the first major battles fought between the British and the soon-to-be Americans. The vital battle was fought on Saturday, June 17th in 1775, during the Siege of Boston. The British were planning on sending troops out from the city into the hills surrounding the city. This would give them increased control over Boston Harbor. However, the colonists found out about the plan and stealthily placed 1,200 troops in the Bunker Hill area. The British won, but their victory was Pyrrhic. They lost many more officers and soldiers than the colonists had, including General William Howe and Henry Clinton. More importantly, the battle established the upstart Americans as a formidable defensive force against the British. In the end, 405 American troops were lost, while the British lost a staggering 1,054

Q: What is the regular expression for numbers between 10000000 and 29999999? I am not a programmer, but I use a system that sometimes requires  regex knowledge. I need a custom field on a sign up form on my website. The custom field is only numbers between 10000000 and 29999999. How would I write the expression?

A: It'd be something like this:
^[12]\d{7}$
Regex Demo

*

*^ - Matches start of line. Ensuring the next match is the first character of the string.

*[12] - Checks if the first character is a 1 or 2.

*\d{7} - Ensures the next 7 characters are 0-9

*$ - Matches the end of the line. This helps ensures there's nothing after the 7th character that we matched prior.

In at least a temporary victory for the Standing Rock protesters, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers blocked plans for running the Dakota Access Pipeline across Lake Oahe and began to examine alternative routes, although it is unclear how the incoming Trump administration will proceed.
The 1,200 miles Dakota Access Pipeline, owned by Texas-based Energy Transfer Partners LP, is largely complete, except for a segment planned to run under Lake Oahe, a reservoir formed by a dam on the Missouri River, the longest river in North America.
In a statement, Standing Rock Sioux Tribal Chairman Dave Archambault II said the tribe welcomed the decision as very good news, but he also sounded a note of concern regarding what might happen after Jan. 20. He urged President-elect Donald Trump to "respect this decision and understand the complex process that led us to this point."
Archambault II went on to say, "When it comes to infrastructure development in Indian Country and with respect to treaty lands, we must strive to work together to reach decisions that reflect the multifaceted considerations of tribes. Treaties are paramount law and must be respected, and we welcome dialogue on how to continue to honor that moving forward. We are not opposed to energy independence, economic development, or national security concerns but we must ensure that these decisions are made with the considerations of our Indigenous peoples."
Jo-Ellen Darcy, the Army's Assistant Secretary for Civil Works, told reporters, after talking with tribal officials and hearing their concerns that the pipeline could affect a crucial source of drinking water, it became "clear that there's more work to do. The best way to complete that work responsibly and expeditiously is to explore alternate routes for the pipeline crossing," Darcy said in a statement released by the Corps of Engineers on Sunday.
U.S. Secretary for the Interior Sally Jewell said in a statement that the "thoughtful approach established by the Army [on Dec. 4] ensures that there will be an in-depth evaluation of alternative routes for the pipeline and a closer look at potential impacts" and "underscores that tribal rights reserved in treaties and federal law, as well as Nation-to-Nation consultation with tribal leaders, are essential components of the analysis to be undertaken in the environmental impact statement going forward."
"Our prayers have been answered," National Congress of American Indians President Brian Cladoosby said in a prepared statement. "This isn't over, but it is enormously good news."
Meanwhile, veterans from all branches of the United States Armed Forces have been arriving for days at Standing Rock to join in the anti-pipelin protest. They came in waves of buses, cars, trailers and even planes, to offer their support to the tribes in its many months-long resistance to protect its drinking water and sacred sites. Many believe it was this flood of veterans from many wars that the Army Corps' hand to decide in favor of the Standing Rock Tribe.
Anthony Gonzalez, Executive Director of the American Indian Movement (AIM) was at Standing Rock, where he had helped to deliver solar panels to "sustain the resistance" through the long, often brutal, North Dakota winters.
Gonzalez said there were tears of joy in his eyes: "Our hearts soar like an Eagle's having heard this very good news." Gonzalez himself is a Vietnam veteran who was awarded the Bronze Star and two Purple Hearts.
Just before the decision came down from the Corps, I spoke with Matt Howard -- co-director of Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW) and one of the veteran organizers who has joined the resistance at Standing Rock. Howard told me that by Sunday evening over 2,000 vets had converged at the multiple Standing Rocks Camps, despite the sub-freezing weather and all the hardships that go along with it.
Dennis Bernstein: Thanks for joining us from Standing Rock, Matt Howard. Tell us why you traveled there with thousands of other vets.
Matt Howard: Thanks for having me. ... I can say for myself that Standing Rock has felt like a real important moment in convergence, to push back on the kinds of militarism that we're seeing that's coming home.
"Ehud Barak Gave the Order to Kill"


2017 ended on a somber note for Patrick Khoza (58) and his cousin George Matukane (70) – familiar faces to anyone who's entered Kruger National Park through Phabeni Gate on an early morning. The enterprising duo had been running a coffee stall for a few years, serving instant cappuccinos, coffee, tea and hot chocolate to the queues of cars waiting to enter the Park, and it was always a welcoming sight for visitors to see their friendly faces first thing in the morning.
Patrick started his coffee business to put food on the table for his family, and he's inspired many who drive past to stop and support his entrepreneurial spirit by enjoying a hot beverage (served with a smile) in the comfort of their car. He started small and worked hard to make a success of his small business, and this inspired Lize. She promised Patrick she would help him to get back on his feet again.
Lize took to Facebook to share Patrick's story and started a PayPal account for people to contribute towards building materials to rebuild the house that Patrick and George had shared and resurrect their coffee station. Soon enough, the donations were trickling in, from a water tank, to coffee cups and lids, tea, coffee, sugar, teaspoons, and even clothing.
Bronley-Robyn Gover was one of the first people to answer Lize's call for help. Her company, The Silver Flair, sponsored a new coffee station on wheels for Patrick and George, custom manufactured for them, which can be rolled up and down the line of cars queuing at Phabeni Gate. Patrick and George were overwhelmed with excitement thanks to their brand new mobile coffee station, complete with a bright blue umbrella and beautiful wooden containers for their tea, coffee and sugar.
If you're inspired by Patrick's life's work, and want to make a difference, email Lize Bester on eeqbester@gmail.com or make a donation on PayPal using the same email. And remember, if you're travelling to Kruger National Park, be sure to stop and buy a coffee at Phabeni Gate. Patrick and George's positivity and service with a smile is bound to brighten your day.

After spending a pleasant afternoon and evening sampling the delights of Bristol, staying over at an AirBNB host on a very comfortable sofa bed, I said farewell to my Canadian and Estonian hosts, I wandered back into the centre to find breakfast to. Set me up for the day. One ham and cheese omelette later and I picked up the river path heading east towards Bath.
Bristol City Council seem to be lacking in footpath maintenance, as I had twice to divert from the river due to repairs that look like they'd long been forgotten. It was about three miles before I got past the semi industrial garbage, found the gentrified outskirts and then wandered proper into the countryside. It was interesting watching the urban decay getting smothered by Mother Nature.
Notice in the second photo, looking past the graffiti, at the brick effigies of dogs I'm the wall of the dogs home.
There were also some amusing and alarming signs along the route. I presume they were worried about sporting guns, rather than drug dealers in Harley's in the Conham River Park.
Following the river if was inevitable that you'd find people messing about in boats, and why not on such a lovely sunny Sunday afternoon.
The diversions earlier added somewhat to the planned mileage, and so it was 22 miles before I knocked on the door on my Bath AirBNB host. A further hike up 4 flights of stairs (damn those Georgian builders) before I found my well presented room and very welcome bath to soak and smooth the aching lower limbs.

Ricoh announces compact, weather-resistant Pentax KF DSLR
Ricoh Imaging Americas Corporation recently announced the PENTAX KF digital SLR camera. This compact, dust-proof and weather-resistant DSLR camera, optimized for all types of outdoor photography, provides a host of advanced, user-friendly features including a bright optical viewfinder, one of the benefits of DSLR shooting.
The PENTAX KF is designed to provide outstanding imaging performance in a rugged, highly portable body. It provides dependable, cold-proof performance down to temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C), performing superbly in a wide range of weather conditions. While considered a mid-range model, the new camera incorporates an array of advanced functions and user-friendly features usually found only in higher-end models including a pentaprism-type optical viewfinder with a nearly 100% field of view and an in-body shake-reduction system with a 4.5-shutter-step compensation. It also provides the double e-dial system identical with top-of-the-line PENTAX models, as well as PENTAX-original shooting features, such as the Hyper Program system, which allows the user to instantly switch the exposure mode from Program to Aperture-priority or Shutter-priority without taking his or her eye off the viewfinder.
Main features of the PENTAX KF
1. Super-high-resolution with approximately 24.24 effective megapixels, even at ISO 102400
A state-of-the-art CMOS image sensor with approximately 24.24 effective megapixels and high-speed 14-bit image data readout, combined with an AA-filter-free optical design, enables the PENTAX KF to deliver super-high-resolution images. The camera couples a high-performance accelerator unit with the high-speed PRIME MII imaging engine, effectively minimizing noise at all sensitivity levels and capturing richly gradated, fine-detailed images even at its top sensitivity of ISO 102400.
2. Dust-proof, weather-resistant body perfect for rugged outdoor photography
The PENTAX KF is a dependable performer even in such demanding settings as in the rain or at locations prone to dust and freezing temperatures. Its compact, easy-to-carry body features dust-proof, weather-resistant construction with 100 seals throughout the body and outstanding cold-proof performance at temperatures down to 14°F (-10°C). To make it easy to ensure a firm hold on the camera body with a gloved hand, the grip, control buttons on the back panel and mode dials have all been designed and contoured for optimum operability, ideal for active outdoor shooting — such as when mountain climbing or hiking or capturing sporting events. The brightness level of the PENTAX KF's outdoor-friendly LCD monitor can be quickly adjusted to the lighting level of a shooting location. The camera also features a red-lighted monitor display function, which facilitates viewing in dark locations for astrophotography.
3. Clear-view optical viewfinder
Within its compact body, the PENTAX KF incorporates a glass prism finder featuring the same optics and coatings as those used in higher-level models. With its approximately 100% field of view and nearly 0.95-times magnification, the PENTAX KF's viewfinder provides a large, clear view of the subject for quick, easy confirmation of focusing and framing.
4. Vari-angle LCD monitor for easy viewing from all angles
The PENTAX KF's vari-angle LCD monitor allows the monitor to be positioned at the desired angle, making it easier to compose images in a wide variety of situations: high-angle shooting using outstretched arms, low-angle shots taken from ground level or astrophotography with the camera pointed upwards toward a star-filled sky. It also features unique, air-gapless construction, in which the air space between the high-definition LCD panel (with approximately 1,037,000 dots) and the protective cover has been filled with a special resin material to effectively reduce the reflection and dispersion of light for improved visibility during outdoor shooting.
5. PENTAX-original shake-reduction system with Pixel Shift Resolution System
(1) In-body SR mechanism
Using the built-in PENTAX-original SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism, the PENTAX KF effectively minimizes camera shake and delivers sharp, blur-free images, even in challenging, shake-prone conditions such as when using a telephoto lens, shooting low-light scenes with ambient light only, or photographing sunset scenes. Using a high-accuracy gyro sensor, it provides a compensation effect of 4.5 shutter steps, similar to top-of-the-line PENTAX models.
With a panning shot, the sensor mechanism automatically detects the direction of the camera's movement and controls the SR unit to produce the best image possible.
(2) Pixel Shift Resolution System with motion correction function
The PENTAX KF features the Pixel Shift Resolution System,* which captures four images of the same scene by shifting the image sensor by a single pixel for each image, and then synthesizes them into a single, composite image. Compared to the conventional Bayer system, in which each pixel has only a single color data unit, this innovative system obtains all color data in each pixel to deliver super-high-resolution images with greater color accuracy and much finer details than those produced by conventional APS-C-size image sensors. This system even provides a motion correction function, which automatically detects a moving object during continuous shooting and minimizes negative effects during the synthesizing process in order to accommodate a wider range of scenes and subjects.
(3) Innovative AA filter simulator to minimize moiré
By applying microscopic vibrations to the image sensor unit at the sub-pixel level during image exposure, the PENTAX KF's AA (anti-aliasing) filter simulator provides the same level of moiré reduction as an optical AA filter. Unlike an optical AA filter, which always creates the identical result, this innovative simulator lets the user switch the AA filter effect on and off, as well as to adjust the level of the effect. This means that the ideal effect can be set for a particular scene or subject based on the current photographic conditions.
(4) Additional special shooting functions
Since the PENTAX KF's image sensor unit is designed to tilt in all directions, it provides a host of additional, special shooting functions, including ASTROTRACER, which simplifies advanced astronomical photography in combination with the optional O-GPS2 GPS Unit; and Auto Horizon Correction and Extra Sharpness functions.
6. Hybrid AF system for high-speed AF operation during Live View shooting
The PENTAX KF employs the Hybrid AF system during Live View autofocus operation. By positioning a contrast-detection AF sensor with superior focusing accuracy and a phase-matching AF sensor on the image sensor's surface, this innovative hybrid system optimizes the benefits of both AF systems to assure high-speed, pinpoint AF focusing on the subject.
7. High-precision autofocus system with the SAFOX X module
The PENTAX KF features the high-precision SAFOX X AF sensor module, which assures responsive, dependable autofocus operation. With its 11 sensors including nine cross-type sensors in the middle, this AF module assures pinpoint focus on the subject at a minimum brightness level as low as -3 EV. It also assures outstanding AF tracking performance with moving subjects, enabled by advanced features such as the Select-area Expansion function, which automatically refocuses on a moving subject after it moves away from the initial point, with the help of the neighboring points; and an AF Hold function that maintains the initial in-focus point even when the module loses sight of the subject.
8. An array of image processing functions for diversified photographic expression
The PENTAX KF provides the PENTAX-developed Custom Image function, which lets the user process an image with the desired finishing touch to express the creative intention, or to suit the particular scene. This function provides 14 Custom Image modes, including: SATOBI, which reproduces the colors to resemble those of pictures in the 60s and 70s, with cyan-tinged blues, subdued yellows and faded reds; Bleach Bypass, which recreates the distinctive, high-contrast look of movie film; and Cross Processing, which adds fantastic, unusual colors to captured images. In combination with PENTAX Limited-series lenses, which are popular for their distinctive image renditions, the PENTAX KF also provides special-edition Custom Image modes KYUSHU and KATEN.
9. A host of interval shooting functions
The PENTAX KF provides a host of advanced interval shooting functions, including: 4K-resolution Interval Movie, which allows recording a series of still images at a fixed interval and then linking them together into a single 4K-resolution movie file; Star Stream Movie, which enables recording the traces of stars or illuminations on a 4K-resolution movie file; and Interval Composite, which synthesizes a composite image with a choice of three synthesis modes (average, additive and comparative).
10. Wireless LAN connection to support smartphone operation
The PENTAX KF provides a host of wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) functions to support operations using smartphones and tablet computers. By installing the dedicated Image Sync application on a smartphone or tablet, the user can remotely check the Live View image, capture still images, and adjust such camera settings as aperture, shutter speed and ISO sensitivity to the desired level through the mobile device. It is even possible to download captured images onto a mobile device for easy uploading onto social networking service websites.
11. Other features
77-segment multi-pattern metering system for high-precision light metering
DR (Dust Removal) mechanism to remove dust from the surface of the CMOS image sensor
High-speed shutter unit with a top speed of 1/6000 second, and high-speed continuous shooting function at a top speed of approximately six images per second
Self-timer function, compatible with the continuous shooting function
The PENTAX KF DSLR will be available starting in late November 2022 at www.us.ricoh-imaging.com as well as at Ricoh Imaging-authorized retail outlets. The PENTAX KF black camera body only has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $849.95; the PENTAX KF black camera body with SMC PENTAX DA L 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL WR lens Kit has a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $949.95.
In addition to the standard black body camera, two special-edition color models — crystal blue and crystal white — will be available worldwide in a limited quantity of 700 units each. These will be available in late November only at www.us.ricoh-imaging.com for the manufacturer's suggested retail price of $899.95.

Krysten Ritter No Longer Interested In Working On Jessica Jones Season 4
By Nobelle Borines

The final season of Jessica Jones certainly had people hoping that the Marvel heroine would be set for at least one more season. However, it looks like Krysten Ritter is no longer interested in reprising her role as the superpowered private investigator.
Ritter was recently asked by TVLine if there was any chance she would return in Jessica Jones Season 4. Interestingly, the former Breaking Bad star stated that she has no plans of revisiting the character.
"Do I think I'll play her again? I don't think so," Ritter said. "I feel like I've played her, you know? I feel really good about it. I feel good about closing the door."
Of course, Season 3 left us with more possible Jessica stories to tell. Although she initially decided to leave her business with Malcolm and leave her life behind, she ultimately changed her mind when Kilgrave whispered that she was doing the right thing. So Jessica is still somewhere in New York possibly beating bad guys but we'll never get to see her do it again.
Interestingly, even if Ritter and the rest of the Jessica Jones cast would consider returning for Season 4, they would need to do it without creator Melissa Rosenberg. After all, Rosenberg is already signed on exclusively to Warner Bros. and even echoed Ritter's sentiments.
"I feel like this is a really complete, closed chapter," Rosenberg said. "I mean, never say never. But I feel ready to tell all-new stories."
Jessica Jones Season 3 is currently streaming on Netflix.

Employees and Employers Can Reduce Sexual Harassment in the Workplace
Sexual Harassment in the news lets us know we have to step up and reduce it.
December 22, 2018 by Dawn Westmoreland Leave a Comment
This past week, CBS did not pay ousted CEO Les Moonves a $120 million severance pay after an investigation of sexual harassment. The CBS Corporation said that Moonves misled the company about multiple allegations of sexual misconduct and more. As a result, the company said Mr. Moonves would not receive his $120 million exit payout.
I get contacted by people on how they should deal with sexual harassment in the workplace. Sometimes, the hardest thing for an employee is to stand up for their selves. For employers, it takes time and energy to deal with sexual harassment discrimination in the workplace. When both sides work together, incidents can be addressed, and loyalty built between the employees and employers.
In my article, Why People Are Fired From Their Companies, I shared that the lady who was being sexually harassed in her workplace by an aggressive male was fired, instead of the man. Perhaps the company leadership saw a litigation building in front of their eyes. This company was more interested in protecting themselves, instead of being ethical and performing an investigation on the matter.
Sexual harassment is in greater public scrutiny these days. It harms men and women. If we are to make a cultural change, we must support one another.
I know how sexual abuse affected me on a deep level after experiencing it as a child. The insecurity lingers until you get help, it can penetrate its ugly head into years of your life, making you feel worthless or not able to trust other people.
I got the help I needed and I "own" my story, instead of my story "owning" me. For some people, they may not feel like they can be helped. It's amazing how many times I have heard that line from people who were abused. Gaining personal power does take resiliency and having the right tools to cope with negative experiences.
If you are like me—I am happy to hear about people being exposed for sexual harassment on the news and social media. It can bring more than awareness; it brings accountability and education for those who need support. So—bring on more stories of sexual harassment where people are being held accountable for their bad behavior. What can employees and employers learn from this latest sexual harassment incident in the news? Plenty!
Employees can be proactive by doing the following:
Document all incidences of sexual harassment. The burden of proof is to be able to provide evidence.
Report it to their HR Department or the management if there is no HR personnel in the company. I share why it's important to go to the HR Department.
Visit the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEOC) website at EEOC.gov for guidance on sexual harassment discrimination reporting.
Contact the EEOC for a state-level agency that may be able to support employees. In some cases, it may provide faster results. EEOC.gov
◊♦◊
Employers can be proactive by doing the following:
Ensure sexual harassment training is accomplished for all their employees.
An employee can always secure an attorney for guidance on them being sexually harassed. Be proactive, not reactive!
Training is best when it's in residence versus online Employees and Employers can engage with others and ask questions.
Document all training and discrimination matters. Ensure that all supervisors are trained and comply with sexual harassment discrimination mandates.
With a cultural change and mindset, we can all reduce sexual harassment in the workplace and provide safer and more dignified places to work. Check out more of my articles on healthy and safe work environments.
