Yo Gotti is "Recession Proof" in new visual
Now free from Epic, Yo Gotti delivers his first independent drop.
This past January saw the release of Yo Gotti's 10th studio LP Untrapped, which included 15 new tracks from the Memphis hip hop veteran and additional features from A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Ty Dolla $ign, Lil Baby, Lil Uzi Vert, Megan Thee Stallion, Moneybagg Yo, and more. That album also signaled the end of his contractual obligations with Epic Records, putting Yo Gotti back on the independent circuit.
This week, he delivers the hard-hitting "Recession Proof," his first drop as a free agent. Produced by Tay Keith, the Collective Music Group head honcho reminds the listeners that he's unstoppable when it comes to attaining wealth:
Yo Gotti announces that he now owns his masters
"N***a I can count better than the CPA, made a business out of sellin' that yay, seein' n***as spend they money 'fore the n***as got paid, I'm thinkin' like 'These n***as crazy'/
Like me tryna keep up with Jay and 'em, financially, n***as better know they lanes, now I'm up, I'm a multi-millionnaire, that shit just ain't the same/
Never get offended, I'm motivated, havin' money, I appreciate it, school of hard knocks, I graduated, school of hard rocks, I participated…/"
He explained the meaning behind the song via social media:
"Recession-proof: is that one is likely to be able to survive even during hard economic times. Through demand & Hustle, thereby increasing the chances that one who has the skills will be likely to survive…"
In addition to Untrapped, Yo Gotti released four other projects while under the Epic umbrella — 2013's I Am, 2016's The Art of Hustle and White Friday (CM9), and 2017's I Still Am. Currently, he's putting the final touches on Cocaine Muzik 10, continuing what might be one of the more extensive and iconic series in hip hop right now.

In Infill Thinking's big 2019 logistics preview last week, one of the topics we broached was whether late entrants in the frac sand wellsite solutions market will be able to displace the incumbent new gen solutions.
We wanted to elaborate on that a bit today. Is it enough to simply build a slightly better mousetrap? We've got a recent example of apparent lackluster interest and a list of challenges to overcome as well as thoughts on one solution that does look differentiated and thoughts on how late entrants might be able to carve out a niche.


Entering the fire-warmed room, Giulio Mancini places his precious bundle in its wrought iron cradle and picks up an extremely sharp knife. With great care, the proprietor of the Agriturismo San Christoforo, dapper in his olive-green velvet suit, begins to shave off paper-thin slices of prosciutto. They fall like ribbons on the platter. It seems everything in Umbria has a subtle elegance, even cutting the ham.
Often referred to as the "Green Heart of Italy", the region of Umbria is blessed with a rich history. Many Umbrian towns were founded by the Umbrii people during the Iron Age around 1000 BC. The still vibrant city of Amelia for example predates Rome by almost 300 years. What followed is a multi-layered record of civilization: Etruscan foundations support Roman ruins topped by medieval hill towns. Lying on the route between Rome and Florence, Umbria expresses the classic landscape of Italy with rolling hills topped with medieval hamlets, Roman aqueducts spanning forested valleys, rows of Cyprus trees, centuries old farm buildings, vineyards and silvery colored olive groves. Much of the Umbria's bucolic character has remained untouched. Leaving the bustle of Rome behind, my rental car is taking me, at 62 mph (100 kilometers an hour), into the past.
My agriturismo vacation, quite literally a farm-holiday, promises immersion into the rural Umbrian culture. My lodging will be in timeless stone farmhouses. Local wines will be generously poured. Meals will be authentic homemade Umbrian fare: crusty unsalted loaves of bread, seasonal vegetables from manicured gardens, mushrooms gathered from nearby woods (including the elusive and delicious truffle!), delectable homemade pasta made from wheat grown in the field out my shuttered window, even a resident hog or two. The very finest olive oil in the world, olio extra vergine di oliva, will be my constant dinner companion, soaking breads and gracing salads and pasta dishes. More than just a tourist, I will be a guest of Umbria.
The term agriturismo identifies a type of Italian tourism that allows working farms to take in tourists, akin to a Bed and Breakfast. In theory, this diversification helps keep family farms alive by cushioning the effects of the fluctuating and ever fickle farm economy. In practice, this Italian response to Community Tourism opens a unique portal for travelers to enter into the homes and hearts of the Umbrian people. Although the 1986 law limits the number of guests and regulates the agriculture/tourist balance, an agriturismo property is an expression of the proprietors, the resident farming family.
Nestled on the slope of Mount Subasio, just two miles (3.2 km) east of St. Francis of Assisi's noted cathedral, Malvarina Country Inn provides the quintessential agriturismo experience. Three generations of the Maurillo family work side by side to make you feel right at home. With a presence belying her petite stature, owner Maria Maurillo lades the table with her Umbrian home cooking, as well as teaching classes in traditional regional fare. Her son, Claudio Fabrizi and his wife Patrizia manage the day-to-day affairs of running the 18th century farm including the grounds, the extensive gardens, vineyards, and olive trees. Claudio's other passion is for horses and he delights in escorting guests on horseback riding tours. These treks can last for a day or may involve visiting five differentagriturismo properties over many days. The Malvarina Country Inn's future is assured by their son, Phillipio who is studying tourism at school and takes an active role and interest in running every aspect of the business. Claudio boasts Malvarina is "your house in the county," and this gracious family works to make this true.
As at Malvarina, it's often the matriarch of the family ruling in the kitchen who determines the flavor of the property. Gabriella Moscati who owns and runs Fattoria di Vibio near Todi with her two sons, is another notable example. Raised near Sicily, she brings a southern Italian essence to her Umbrian table. The results are an absolute gastronomic delight. After an exquisite dinner ushered in with truffles and culminated with chocolate, Gabriella treated me to her philosophy of food and cooking.
"Cooking is not only the preparation of the food but also the atmosphere that it gives to the family. It's the tradition of food that matters," she explains. "Now that I am older, the most important work for me is to transmit this love for food to the people that work for me." Gourmands everywhere should be grateful that one of the offerings at Fattoria di Vibio is cooking classes taught by this talented and delightful woman.
Dining at La Casella is a family affair, a very big family at very long tables, and one that includes the owners and their families, guests, the farm workers and staff. It's been a gray, misty day, softening the wooded hillsides outside the dining room windows. Sometime between the fagioli con scarola (bean soup with green leaf salad) and the spaghetti con finocchiella (Spaghetti with fennel seeds), a rogue ray of sunlight breaks through the clouds and pierces the cobalt carafes on the table before me. Luciano puts down his fork and regales us with song. It's a rousing affair and although I speak very little Italian, I know for certain that he's lauding the sun. He finishes a verse, picks up a carafe and refills my wineglass. "Live the experience," he whispers.
With great fortune, I've arrived during L'estate di San Martino, Italy's Indian summer. Ambling down the country roads after lunch, picking my way around puddles left by last night's rainfall, all my senses are engaged. The sun warms my upturned face. There is a rich, earthy aroma rising from fallen leaves and newly plowed soil. The colors of the countryside seem painted from their own unique palate. Hunting dogs bay in the distance, donkeys bray nearby. Cool water flows from a pipe that appears to flow directly out of the hillside. The handmade sign says: Fountain of the Madonna. I cup my hands and quench my thirst.
In tight formation, a group of mountain bikers approach, as resplendent in their vivid riding clothes as any flock of colorful birds. They are taking advantage of another offering of the agriturismo network: trekking. En route from one farm to the next, your hosts will meet up with you and serve a tasty lunch. Your luggage is transported ahead and is waiting for your arrival. Dinner is waiting too, along with a shower and a comfortable bed. Trekking on horseback or on foot can also be arranged.
Whatever your perfect ideas of a holiday, chances are you can find an agriturismo property that will be ideally suited to your interests. Unspoiled Medieval hill towns, sometimes just a hike away, offer up their bounty of art, cathedrals, history and architecture. Classes are taught in cooking, language, and art. Festivals occur throughout the year, Perugia is host to a world famous jazz festival as well as one in celebration of chocolate. Orvieto beckons with its medieval festival and a tribute to the Slow Food movement. In addition to trekking, horse lovers can take lessons in riding and dressage or participate in mock foxhunts. Real hunters can do that too when wild boar and deer are in season. Summer visitors can enjoy camping and the region's beautiful lakes. Many properties have outdoor swimming pools. If you want to visit Rome or Florence for the day, trains run from many towns. You can take an early train in, sightsee all day, and return on a later train in time for dinner.
When it was time to return to Rome for my flight home, my heart was heavy. I felt I had merely scratched the surface of this abundant and friendly land. My ears reverberated with the words of Gianni Rivoli, owner of the Agritourismo Rivoli near Spoleto: "When the guests leave after a week, they cry." I can certainly see why.
Most agriturismo properties maintain web sites so it's possible to do the research yourself to identify the perfect property for your needs. However, accommodations, prices and offered activities vary widely, so I would recommend you enlist the help of the Italian Tourist Board for Umbria.
You could also increase your chances for the ideal holiday by working with a private consortium like Umbria in Campagna. The staff is very familiar with the properties they represent and speak English. During the high season (April-August) most places only accept one week stays (or more). During the off-season, if you call ahead, you can often be accommodated for a night or two.

LAPD tasing of Keenan Anderson brings scrutiny to police policy
by 420 Daily Newz
in 420 Daily Newz
For a disturbing 42 seconds, a Los Angeles police officer repeatedly stunned a teacher with a Taser gun this month as other officers tried to pin and handcuff the man in the middle of a busy Venice street.
The gaps between pulses were so brief that Keenan Anderson, 31, could get out only a few words — including "Help me, please" — as he repeatedly cried out in agony.
Anderson died several hours later, though his cause of death has not yet been established.
The actions of the officers, captured on LAPD body cameras, have sparked protests, an internal investigation and calls for changes in police policies.
In particular, the case has placed scrutiny on Los Angeles Police Department guidelines on officers' use of Tasers. Its written policies address the circumstance under which Tasers can be used but are vague when it comes to how often the weapon should be fired.
LAPD policy states that officers "may use the Taser as a reasonable force option to control a suspect when the suspect poses an immediate threat to the safety of the officer or others."
There is already much debate about whether Anderson posed the kind of threat to officers that six Taser discharges were necessary, with several policing experts saying it was not.
"Just because he is actively resisting, that doesn't mean he is a threat," said Seth Stoughton, a University of South Carolina law professor and use-of-force expert who reviewed the LAPD body-cam videos.

(LAPD)
"He is not a threat of harm to the officers. The only threat is a delay," said Stoughton, a former Florida police officer. "It doesn't appear to me the officers believe the Taser protects them from harm."
LAPD policy attempts to address this distinction, saying Tasers "shall not be used on a suspect or subject who is passively resisting or merely failing to comply with commands." Not responding to verbal commands, the policy states, is not grounds for using a Taser.
Another major question for use-of-force experts concerns the number of times Anderson was tased.
LAPD policy does not address how frequently an officer can user a Taser on a suspect and what to do if the first discharge does not resolve an incident. A 2021 directive urged officers to "avoid repeated Taser applications where practicable to avoid possible injury."
The directive also instructed officers to "continually evaluate the situation they are in and the apparent effectiveness" and, if Taser use isn't working, to "consider transitioning to another" tactic.
According to LAPD policy, the duration of a Taser activation on a suspect is five seconds. "During this period of incapacitation that the suspect/subject experiences, the arrest team should take positions of advantage to immediately control the suspect/subject and take them into custody."
In releasing a video of the tasing of Anderson compiled from officers' body cameras, Chief Michel Moore said that there is no limit on the number of times a Taser can be used in a particular situation and that the actions must be reasonable given the totality of the circumstances.
Some policing experts said the current rules give much latitude — perhaps too much — to officers.
Ed Obayashi, a Northern California deputy, police lawyer and use-of-force expert who reviewed the LAPD's body-cam footage, said the department is among many that have not set limits on how often Tasers are used.

The most problematic repeated uses occur when a person falls into a specific risk category, such as those who are on drugs. Moore has alleged that Anderson was in an altered state and resisted officers' efforts to detain him. His bloodwork showed the presence of cocaine and cannabis in his system, the chief said.
In the wake of Anderson's death, some community activists have called for new limits on Taser use by officers.
Stoughton said the six uses of the Taser on Anderson are a significant issue. "The more you use it, the higher the risk," he said. The stun gun, he said, was initially conceived as a replacement for deadly force and a response to edge and blunt weapons. "The term 'lazy tasy' has become common. It is as easy as snapping a photo."
A dozen years ago, the Police Executive Research Forum advised law enforcement agencies that people should not be exposed to an electronic control weapon, such as a Taser-branded stun gun, for more than 15 seconds total. "Personnel should be trained to use an ECW for one standard cycle (five seconds) and then evaluate the situation to determine if subsequent cycles are necessary," the guidelines stated.
Some departments have, however, offered more specific rules.
In Eugene, Ore., the "number of Taser discharges against a person should not exceed three, or a total duration of 15 seconds." Eugene police officers are cautioned that "multiple Taser discharges or discharges exceeding the standard five-second duration may increase the risk of injury or death and should be avoided when possible."
In 2020, the International Assn. of Chiefs of Police issued a 20-page report saying that "agencies may wish to consider imposing a limit of three cycles or a total of 15 seconds absent exigent circumstances."
But use-of-force experts caution that when departments set time limits, they are in effect telling their officers to use other means to subdue a subject, which can lead to physical blows.
The LAPD training guidance advises against repeated usage but instructs officers that "because the department recognizes that each tactical situation is unique and that officers must be given the flexibility to resolve tactical situations in the field there is no pre-set limit of number of times the Taser can be used in a particular situation."
Police encountered Anderson around 3:40 p.m. Jan. 3 after he crashed his BMW on Lincoln Boulevard in Venice. Officers say he ran into the busy street afterward, and a motorcycle officer pursued him. He was initially cooperative after he was detained and sat down at an intersection to speak with an officer, but while backup was being called, Anderson bolted into the road again, police said.
Officers then swarmed Anderson, trying to flip him onto his stomach and handcuff him as he declared, "They are trying to kill me," according to police video. It was during this encounter when a Taser was used on him.
Moore said Anderson was a felony hit-and-run suspect who tried to get into another person's car and, in an altered state, resisted officers' efforts to detain him.

The chief said that the first two activations of the Taser, which was fired from afar, "weren't effective" on Anderson and that the stun gun was then directly applied to the man's skin four times. A Times investigation in 2016 found that of the 1,100 times an LAPD officer used a Taser, the weapon worked 53% of the time.
Taser deployments fell from 1,363 in 2016 to 545 in 2020, the most recent year for which the LAPD has released reliable data.
Taser maker Axon Enterprise Inc. has acknowledged the devices might pose a risk to some people and began discouraging targeting the chest and advising officers to aim at a subject's back or, with front shots, nearer the belt. In 2017, it warned that some people might be more susceptible to the effects of the devices.
"These susceptible individuals include the elderly, those with heart conditions, asthma or other pulmonary conditions, and people suffering from excited delirium, profound agitation, severe exhaustion, drug intoxication or chronic drug abuse, and/or over-exertion from physical struggle. In a physiologically or metabolically compromised person, any physiologic or metabolic change may cause or contribute to sudden death," the company stated.
LAPD policy requires suspects who have had Taser darts stuck to their skin to be examined, Moore said, and Los Angeles Fire Department personnel treated Anderson at the scene before taking him to a hospital in Santa Monica, according to a police news release.
After a medical emergency there, Anderson died, the chief said.
The Los Angeles County coroner's office will conduct an autopsy, and extensive testing will determine the cause of his death. His family is planning its own independent autopsy.

Sean Parry is a time-served, multi-award winning recruitment marketer. He has worked among all sectors, private and commercial, public, health, police, fire and rescue, third sector, and local authorities.
Over 20 years, Sean's affinity with the cause of looked-after children and young people drew him to work ever more closely with children's services.
Initially, this included large scale social work recruitment exercises, later leading towards fostering and adoption recruitment marketing strategies.
Full details of his career, and the carer recruitment support service that Sean now provides on a retained consultancy basis to fostering agencies can be found on his LinkedIn page.
If your fostering agency is looking for specialist support to recruit new foster carers, please get in touch on 07999 900770 or by email for an exploratory, no-obligation discussion by phone or in person.
Join us and 12,600+ followers at Fostering Now on Facebook, one of the country's most popular fostering pages. This was achieved in just two and a half years with a very limited budget—a testament that results-producing marketing has less to do with money and more to do with developing a plan that works and sticking to it!
'Sean came to our attention through his high-profile national work with fostering agencies. As an adult care leaver, in 1986 Sean was one among the first ever users of Childline, newly launched by Dame Esther Rantzen, DBE. We contacted Sean, and without hesitation, he came forward to support our vital work for today's children that urgently need our help. Speaking alongside Esther, and HRH Sophie, Countess of Wessex, at a fundraising event in Buckingham Palace, Sean shared poignantly about his abusive early life experience, and the lifeline that Childline gave him when he was 12 years old.
Sean has continued to actively support Childline's campaigning work, providing compelling case study material to endorse our national awareness-raising appeals. By opening up about his experience and the help he received from Childline, Sean will have helped to encourage young people in desperate need to reach out to Childline and disclose their own abuse. His openness and forthright support have been invaluable and truly inspiring. At Childline, and the NSPCC, we wish Sean every success in his work to raise the profile of fostering nationally, through his organisation, Fostering Now.'
Tara Smith, Case Studies Unit Manager
NSPCC Childline (2016)
'One of our biggest challenges was to recruit foster carers, given intense competition between the London boroughs and independent agencies. Sean came on board to help, and was full of ideas and energy from the outset. As an outstanding communicator, with a high degree of emotional intelligence, he engaged with our young people, our foster carers, social workers, their managers, and senior managers across the whole council. He developed our campaign, which was highly successful. Sean's contribution to the success of the service at that time was huge.'
Val Rogers, Head of Children Looked After Service
Wandsworth Council (2011)
'A big thank you for your engagement in the Fostering Network's England Advisory Committee. We appreciated your commitment and contribution to the Committee which is an important forum for the organisation, helping inform our policy and practice.'
Raina Sheridan, Deputy Chief Executive
The Fostering Network (2013)
Sean's first strategic marketing assignment as director of the newly founded Fostering Now was with Nexus Fostering, which said: 'It was time to freshen up our look, so in 2014 we hired Sean's professional marketing expertise to conduct a review of our brand. The most obvious change can be seen by visiting our Facebook and Twitter accounts, and, of course, our new, modern logo. A year later, in awarding Nexus a second outstanding judgment, Ofsted said: 'The recruitment and preparation of foster carers is robust and thorough', and the new brand has certainly played a role in attracting our new carers. Additionally, Sean, we found you to be a fabulous advocate for listening to children and empowering them to speak out.'
Grace Wyatt, Founder & Managing Director
Nexus Fostering (2014)
'Sean brings energy and commitment to his work, backed up with a breadth of marketing communications experience across the media, public and independent sectors. I have worked with Sean several times now on various projects aimed at building our membership base and raising awareness of issues affecting the sector for the provision of children's services. He has delivered a number of highly informative training sessions to NAFP members, all of whom have fed back to me the insight and useful, practical tools they have learned from Sean. He's open to new ideas and focused on delivering to his brief.'
Harvey Gallagher, Chief Executive
Nationwide Association of Fostering Providers (2015)
'I had met Sean at the Department for Education some time back and his expertise and experience was clear in the great work he did for Wandsworth Council. Sean was top of my list of professionals to contact once I was in my new role because I wanted someone who could make an impact. Sean helped us develop our recruitment and social media strategies in a very tight timescale. He worked well with all members of the organisation and secured buy-in. As a result, we are already seeing positive benefits from our use of social media, with increased enquiries from prospective foster carers and our improved online presence. I'd recommend Sean to any organisation wanting expert marketing and branding assistance!'
Satwinder Sandhu, Director of Operations & Registered Manager
The Homefinding & Fostering Agency (2015)
'Sean was able to achieve more in five hours than we had been able to do in five months. His approach to recruitment made us completely change our foster carer recruitment strategy and approach. I can't praise his work enough. Thanks Sean.'
Richard Norwood, Business Development Director
Greater London Fostering (2016)
'Chrysalis Care are pleased to highlight the work of Fostering Now, who demonstrate endless dedication to highlighting the needs of children and young people who are looked after and the foster carers who care for them.'

In the new movie "Delivery Man," Vince Vaughn discovers that his "donation" has been used hundreds of times without his knowledge. Far-fetched plot? Maybe not. The United States does not track sperm donations. We have no idea how many there are, how often they're donated, nor how many children are born from those donations. Rene Almeling is an assistant professor of sociology at Yale. She wrote an op-ed piece for the New York Times about "The Unregulated Sperm Industry."
A Real-Life Tricorder? Affirmative! (Maybe.)
By Virginia Prescott • Nov 26, 2013
Star Trek's seemingly miraculous 'tricorder' is a device which can measure anything from a patient's vital signs to geological activity with the push of a button. Now, a company called Scanadu has developed a device called the 'Scout,' which they hope can be as useful for the health industry as tricorders were on the Enterprise. We talked with the company's co-founder to learn more.

We all know laughter can be contagious. But can it be a good workout? A form of therapy? Even a skill? Many happy devotees think, yes. Inspired in part by the growing popularity of laughter yoga, filmmaker and journalist Albert Nerenberg hosted the first official laughing contest in Montreal back in 2011. He's also the director of the 2009 documentary, Laughology.

Q: For $c\in\mathbb{F}_p^*$, the cubic $t^3-3ct^2-3t+c$ has exactly one root $r\in\mathbb{F}_p$. Express $r$ in terms of $c$ without cubic roots. For some $c \in \mathbb{F}_p^*$ consider the polynomial
$$
f(t) = t^3 - 3ct^2 - 3t + c
$$
for $p \equiv 1$ (mod $3$) and $p \equiv 3$ (mod $4$). In this case $3$ is a quadratic non-residue modulo $p$ and hence the discriminant $\Delta = 2^23^3(c^2+1)^2$ of $f$ is also a quadratic non-residue modulo $p$.
Thus $f$ has exactly one root $r \in \mathbb{F}_p$. For $c=1$ the root $r = -1$. How explicitly express $r$ through $c$ in general case without usage of the Cardano formula (i.e., without cubic roots)?

A: It is indeed possible to express the root as a rational function of $\ c\ $.  This follows from the fact that$^{\mathbf{\dagger}}$, under the stated conditions, the polynomial $\ t-r\ $ must be the gcd of the polynomials $\ f\left(t\right)\ $ and $\ t^{p-1}-1\ $.  In the Euclidean algorithm for computing the gcd, the coefficients of the initial polynomials $\ t^{p-1}-1\ $ and $\ f\left(t\right)\ $ are rational functions of $\ c\ $ (with coefficients in $\mathbb F_p\ $), and it's easy enough to show that the remainder of a polynomial $\ \pi_1(t)\in \mathbb F_p[t]\ $ modulo another, $\ \pi_2(t)\ $, has coefficients that are rational functions of those of $\ \pi_1(t)\ $ and $\ \pi_2(t)\ $.  From this it follows that the coefficients of the gcd must be rational functions of those of the initial polynomials, and hence of $\ c\ $.
In practice, the function can be found for any given $\ p\ $ by treating $\ c\ $ as an indeterminate, and calculating the gcd in $\ \mathbb F_p(c)[t]\ $, where $\ \mathbb F_p(c)\ $ is the field of rational functions in $\ c\ $ over $\ \mathbb F_p\ $.  Since $\ c\ $, as an element of $\ \mathbb F_p^*\ $, is a root of the polynomial $\ t^{p-1}-1\ $, monomials, $\ c^q\
 $, of degree $\ p-1\ $ or higher can nevertheless be replaced by $\ c^{q\,\mathrm{mod}\,(p-1)}\ $ as the calculation proceeds. The denominator of the rational function obtained by this procedure cannot have a linear factor other than $\ c\ $, since if it did, being $\ c-\rho\ $, say, with $\ \rho \ne 0\ $, then the degree of
$\ \gcd\left( t^{p-1} - 1,  t^3 - 3\rho t^2 - 3t^2 +
\rho\right)\ $ would have to be zero.
Here are the expressions for $\ r\ $ for the cases $\ p=7,19\ $ and $\ 31\ $, respectively:
$$\frac{3}{5c^5+5c^3+c}\\
\ \\
\frac{\small 4c^{14}+3c^{12}+10c^{10}+12c^8+14c^6+4c^4+8c^2+7}{\small 17c^{17}+17c^{15}+18c^{13}+4c^{11}+2c^9+11c^7+17c^5+13c^3+10c}\\
\ \\
\frac{\tiny 15c^{26}+5c^{24}+5c^{22}+16c^{20}+21c^{18}+2c^{16
}+29c^{14}+29c^{12}+24c^{10}+20c^8+5c^6+14c^4+14c^2+11}{\tiny 29c^{29}+29c^{27}+17c^{25}+5c^{23}+18c^{21}+17c^{19}+2c^{17}+25c^{15}+12c^{13}+9c^{11}+12c^7+3c^5+12c^3+3c}$$
The pattern observable here in the leading terms of the numerators and denominators continues through the primes $\ 43\ $ and $\ 67\ $, the first term of the numerator being $\ (p-4)\,c^{p-5}\ $ in all cases except $\ p=7\ $, and the first two terms of the denominator being $\ (p-2)\,c^{p-2} + (p-2)\,c^{p-4}\ $ in all cases.
The softwear package I used to perform the gcd calculations crashed when I tried $\ p=79\ $, so I haven't looked at any primes beyond $\ 67\ $.
$\mathbf\dagger$ Or even from from the simple fact that it's a function of $\ c\ $, as Eric Wofsey points out in the comments below.
Update: As Eric Wofsey observes in the comment below, the root can also be expressed as a polynomial function of $\ c\ $.  If we let $\ c_r = \frac{r^3-3\,r}{3\,r^2-1}\ \mathrm{mod}\ p\ $, the value of $\ c\ $ corresponding to the root $\ r\ $, one well-known expression for  such a polynomial is:
$$\sum_{r\in {\mathbb F}_p^*} r \prod_{u\in{\mathbb F}_p^*\setminus\{c_r\}} \frac{c-u}{r-u}\ .$$
For $\ p=7,19\ $ and $\ 31\ $ the polynomials are:
$$ 5\,c^5 + 4\,c^3 + 4\,c \\
\ \\
8\,c^{17}+6\,c^{13}+4\,c^{11}+2\,{c^9}+7\,c^7+16\,c^5+5\,c^3+8\,c\\
\ \\
{\tiny 3c^{29}+22c^{27}+5c^{25}+12c^{23}+12c^{21}+15c^{19}+27c^{17}+5c^{15}+16c^{11}+14c^9+3c^7+22c^5+17c^3+12c}

Josephine Jacobsen
By William Jay Smith
Josephine Jacobsen did not begin school until she was fourteen and she never attended college. She came to poetry therefore free of the constraints that the academy so proudly and often disastrously provides. Like Theodore Roethke, a poet she admired, she acknowledged as her masters Auden and Yeats; she believed as Roethke did that true poetry must spring from fierce energy. In Gentle Reader the poet she describes might well be herself:
Late in the night when I should be asleep
under the city stars in a small room
I read a poet. A poet; not
a versifier. Not a hot-shot
ethic-monger, laying about
him; not a diary of lying
about in cruel cruel beds, crying.
A poet, dangerous and steep.
She told us that when young she wanted to be both an actress and a poet. From the theater she retained a dramatic sense that informed her poems as well as her stories. Both poems and stories are filled with people, young and old, pompous and pious, energetic and dying, and she observes them all in dramatic situations from the cradle to the grave. The poet sees the two sisters of her poem The Sisters as two aspects of her own psyche, projections of the ordinary woman she seemed to be and the muse who inspired the extraordinary poems she produced. "The muse of poetry is a very fierce muse indeed," Jacobsen said. "I think of Stevens' image of the poem: 'The lion sleeps in the sun. Its nose is on its paws. It can kill a man…' Poetry is energy, and it is poetic energy which is the source of that instant of knowing that the poet tries to name…It is the kind of energy which burns away the debris. The muse is not fond of decoration."
There is little decoration in Josephine Jacobsen's work: her spare diction combines the passionate commitment of Louise Bogan with the precision and compactness of Elizabeth Bishop and Marianne Moore. And she exhibits fully two qualities, reticence and reverence, that were the very fabric of Moore's poetry. She is a religious poet, a moralist whose points are made with subtle, swift rapier thrusts and not with dull hammer blows. I followed her work for many years and I must say that her early poems, carefully written though they were, gave little indication of the power that she would achieve in the final two decades of her life.
Although she received considerable recognition, being one of the few women named Poet Laureate, she was for years overlooked by almost every major anthology simply because she had not followed the current trends but had gone her own way. "It is not hard for the poet to run counter to uninformed pressure," she said. "It is sometimes very hard indeed to hold a course which may temporarily steer him counter to the informed pressure of his peers' direction, though from time to time he may find himself under the necessity to do just that. His own demon has got to say, 'Yes'; after all the humility, and openness, and gratitude, it is his demon which must speak. If he has connected with the source of energy, his poetry will be alive, and intimately related to the most distant truth; if not, it is born dead, though it be as factually relevant as today's headlines."
Josephine Jacobsen's poetry is intimately related to distant truth; she is an old-fashioned poet whose old-fashioned virtues and a belief that poetry must have structure and music and must communicate are again becoming fashionable. Like Emily Dickinson, she seeks to tell the whole truth but "to tell it slant." And it is her cool, observant eye, her clear angle of vision, that make her poems unique. And what a marvelous ear she possessed: Listen to the vowel sounds in "The Shade Seller"; the cool "silver key" that in it unlocks the hot metal box. Josephine Jacobsen's quietly articulated observations have the dark resonance of great art.
THE SHADE-SELLER
for A. R. Ammons
"Sombra?"
he asked us from his little booth. And shade
we bought to leave our car in.
By noon
the sand was a mealy fire; we crossed by planks
to the Revolcadero sea.
we were later and hotter; and he peered out
and "No hay sombra!" he told us.
when we came back to our metal box, frightened
we breathed for a terrible instant
the air
fiery and loud of the hooked fish:
Quick! Quick! Our silver key!
now I dream of the shade-seller; from his dark
he leans, and "sombra…"I tell him.
candescent sand and a great noise of heat
and it is I who speak that word
and wide and green. O may he never
answer my one with three.
Josephine Jacobsen has found that shade, "heavy and wide and green," and with her fierce energy and imagination she has in her poems given it to us all.

I first encountered this unusual plant on top of Fremont Butte in Washington County. The butte is about halfway between Sterling and Akron. Because of its coloration I thought it was a parasite and was happy to learn, upon looking it up, that it is considered to be semi parasitic. It is a plant of the Great Plains and can tolerate dry, rocky soils. Sometimes called Prairie Paintbrush. Sources inform me that it can't be transplanted to your garden but that it easily sprouts from seeds. It is unusual enough looking that it might be worth the effort.

COMMENTS: Refined design, high performance construction are all part of this folder. Titanium pocket clip mounted for tip up carry. Filed worked thumb rest for increased handling. Light for it's size, due to the titanium construction. Very strong integral locking mechanism that Chris Reeve pioneered. Begin to enjoy the quality of a Chris Reeve Sebenza 21 folding knife. Amazing details in the Devin Thomas stainless basket weave pattern damascus blade.
Please note from my rating that I am very pleased with this knife and do not intend any of the following to be taken as complaint. I just want to share some observations about the knife and buying process that might prove valuable to potential purchasers of similar items.
First off, the purchase process was smooth and great. I called and talked to a polite gentleman that helped me and answered all my questions, the knife was delivered to me faster than expected. I would definitely purchase from Knife Art again and recommend them to others based on this transaction.
On to the knife. I will say that I did quite a bit of research on the Sebenza before purchasing this (my first), however there were a few things that my research never revealed to me before purchase. I Have owned an Umnumzaan for several years, so I anticipated similar qualities from the Sebenza.
When I received the knife it was and is beautiful as expected with all the tolerances and finish we are promised by countless reviews on line. What seemingly none of these reviews prepared me for was the detent.
The detent on this knife is quite solid. I have no worries of it accidentally opening in my pocket. I suppose this is a great thing, but only after I re-trained myself on deployment. If I grasp this knife like I do any of my liner lock knives, I apply more pressure to the lock bar (and thereby increase detent) and my delicate thumb struggles to start the blade on its way to open. Once I learned a different hand position, I am much more able to deploy the blade. This observation struck me as odd because I had no such observations with the Umnumzaan. Perhaps there are differences between models, dates of production, or perhaps my Sebenza simply has a tighter than typical detent? I am not sure, but it does not bother me (it is just an observation I was not prepared for and others that have handled this knife have reported).
The Damascus blade has a relief such that you can feel the layers of steel as you rub it. This comes as no surprise, but what I had not anticipated was the feeling I get when the blade swings open and the detent ball rides over these layers. It is subtle, but (for lack of a better description) it is a similar sensation to stroking corduroy fabric. The blade still swings smoothly like I expect for a CRK, but this subtle sensation is there to remind me that this blade is something special...I actually quite like it.
I could go on and on about all the fit and finish that you have almost certainly read elsewhere. Yes, Chris Reeve makes a nice folder, I will spare you reading it all again. As the title says I am a user. This Damascus is beautiful, but it actually works as a blade steel too (imagine that).
I carried this knife to the water park yesterday and a week ago. While I did not swim with it, I (and it) did get utterly drenched several times on water rides and sitting next to the pool as my kids and others splashed me. As I sit here and type while looking at the knife, I can honestly tell you that other than a few light scratches on the clip, the knife still looks new. The chlorinated water (that temporarily lightened the micarta) did nothing to hamper performance of this knife (no rust, no loss of smoothness). I noticed that the micarta lightened considerably when it dried (perhaps the chlorine left a residue?), but it darkened back to "normal" shortly after I started using the knife again and my sweat/oils contacted the material.
I have not yet conducted any heavy cutting tasks with it, but it has done all matters of typical pocket knife tasks I encounter. I would suggest that the blade steel performs well. I think you give up a bit of the long term edge holding over the S30V that my Umnumzaan sports, but not much.
This is my first Chris Reeve folding knife. The quality and workmanship is outstanding!!! I can understand why, the company received BLADE 2013 Manufacturing Quality Award. The attention to details and tolerance are exceptional, work of art!
Knife Art made it so easy to purchase this product! Information ,specs, and reviews were very helpful! Order knife on a Saturday evening, and received it that following Wednesday! WOW!

Q: How to get correct answer I have this example, how i can make it to show the correct answer.
If everyone is online, then the global status is online.
If some one is away, global status is away.
If everyone is offline -> offline.
var group, part1, part2, part3;

group = 'Group Status';
part1 = 'online';
part2 = 'away';
part3 = 'offline';

if( part1 === 'online' || part2 === 'online' || part3 === 'online' ){
    group = 'Online';
    console.log('All users are online. Group status: ' + group);
}else if( part1 === 'away' || part2 === 'away' || part3 === 'away' ){
    group = 'Away';
    console.log('One of the users is away. Group status: ' + group);
}else if( part1 === 'offline' || part2 === 'offline' || part3 === 'offline' ){
    group = 'Offline';
    console.log('One of the users is offline. Group status: ' + group);
}else{
    group = 'Not found';
    console.log('Status not found. Group status: ' + group);
}

Answer: the priority of this code is Online > Away > Offline.
I replaced and it worked as i want: Offline > Away > Online.
var group, part1, part2, part3;
group = 'Group Status';
part1 = 'online';
part2 = 'away';
part3 = 'away';

if( part1 === 'offline' || part2 === 'offline' || part3 === 'offline' ){
    group = 'Offline';
    console.log('One of the users is offline. Group status: ' + group);
}else if( part1 === 'away' || part2 === 'away' || part3 === 'away' ){
    group = 'Away';
    console.log('One of the users is away. Group status: ' + group);
}else if( part1 === 'online' || part2 === 'online' || part3 === 'online' ){
    group = 'Online';
    console.log('All users are online. Group status: ' + group);
}else{
    group = 'Not found';
    console.log('Status not found. Group status: ' + group);
}

A: Here is what I think you want to do: http://es6fiddle.net/itfgy2xt/
It helps to use an array for your group parts, so you can use array methods, namely Array.prototype.every and Array.prototype.indexOf. Note that every is IE9+.
every returns true only if the function for every element returns true, and indexOf returns the index of the element in the array or -1 if the element can't be found.
var groupStatus  = 'Group Status',
    parts = [];

parts[0] = 'online';
parts[1] = 'away';
parts[2] = 'offline';

// check if everyone is online
if (parts.every(function (el) { return el === 'online'; })) {
    groupStatus = 'Online';
}
// check if at least someone is online or away
else if (parts.indexOf('online') >= 0 || parts.indexOf('away') >= 0) {
    groupStatus = 'away';
}
else {
    groupStatus = 'offline';
}

console.log('Group status: ' + groupStatus);

A: You could move all parts into an array and check with Array#some and Array#every for the wanted status.

var group = 'Group Status',
    parts = ['online', 'away', 'offline'];

if (parts.some(function (a) { return a === 'offline'; })) {
    group = 'Offline';
    console.log('One of the users is offline. Group status: ' + group);
} else if (parts.some(function (a) { return a === 'away'; })) {
    group = 'Away';
    console.log('One of the users is away. Group status: ' + group);
} else if (parts.every(function (a) { return a === 'online'; })) {
    group = 'Online';
    console.log('All users are online. Group status: ' + group);
} else {
    group = 'Not found';
    console.log('Status not found. Group status: ' + group);
}

ES6

var group = 'Group Status',
    parts = ['online', 'away', 'offline'],
    check = string => item => item === string;

if (parts.some(check('offline'))) {
    group = 'Offline';
    console.log('One of the users is offline. Group status: ' + group);
} else if (parts.some(check('away'))) {
    group = 'Away';
    console.log('One of the users is away. Group status: ' + group);
} else if (parts.every(check('online'))) {
    group = 'Online';
    console.log('All users are online. Group status: ' + group);
} else {
    group = 'Not found';
    console.log('Status not found. Group status: ' + group);
}


Marriage is a binding contract. And it is true that marriage can involve alot of people who have nothing to do with your intimate relationship (what goes on in your bedroom is private) but there are a lot of people, like in laws who can be involved in your marriage and they do have something to do with your relationship and frankly, because of them your relationship can fail. On the other hand, you can look at it another way and say that nobody except for the two people have anything to do with their relationship.
The part I object to is the last part where she says "because it is a binding contract." The fact that these people are or are not involved in your marriage is not a function of there being a "binding contract," Scarlett. Marriage is a binding contract and there are many people who are involved in your relationship – rightly or wrongly. But they are involved no matter that there is a binding contract or a non-binding one.
It is a technical point but I think it needs to be distinguished that the binding nature of the marital contract was not the reason there are all these interlopers in Scarlett Johansson's marriage. Understand my point?

He has been in great form: Aaron Finch picks Mayank Agarwal as Rohit Sharma's replacement for Australia series
TN Sports Desk
Australia's limited-overs captain Aaron Finch has named a promising young talent as Rohit Sharma's replacement for the upcoming Australia series.

Aaron Finch has named a premier Indian batsman as an ideal replacement for Rohit Sharma
Team India's tour of Australia starts with a three-match ODI series from Friday
India will also play four Test matches against Australia in the upcoming tour Down Under
After a bitter-sweet Indian Premier League (IPL) campaign with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB), star opener Aaron Finch is set to lead the Australian national team for the high-profile limited-overs series against Virat Kohli-led Team India. While Australia are boosted by the return of Steve Smith and David Warner in the limited-overs setup, Team India will have to face the mighty Aussies without premier opener and limited-overs vice-captain Rohit Sharma.
Kohli's deputy Rohit is rested for the upcoming twin limited-overs series between India and Australia. As Rohit's absence will have a major impact on the visitors, Australian skipper Finch has backed a promising young talent to fill in the Indian opener's shoes. Finch, who plied his trade with Kohli-led RCB in the 13th edition of the IPL has backed Kings XI Punjab (KXIP) opener Mayank Agarwal to replace Rohit in the upcoming limited-overs series against the Men from Down Under.
Speaking in the virtual media interaction ahead of the series opener between the two cricketing superpowers, Finch highlighted that Rohit has enjoyed a fair amount of success against the five-time World Champions in the past. "He (Rohit Sharma) is obviously a great player and someone who has had quite a bit of success against us in the past. It (the injury) is unfortunate," Finch was quoted as saying.
Taking Agarwal's superb run in the IPL 2020 into consideration, Finch picked the premier KXIP batsman as an ideal replacement for an injured Rohit."You want to play against the best players all the time but whoever he is going to replace him, possibly Mayank, he has been in great form as well. So you take away a lot of experience but you also bring in another quality player," Finch added.
Kohli's deputy Rohit is nursing a hamstring injury at the National Cricket Academy in Bengaluru. The veteran opener is also expected to miss out on the upcoming four-match Test series between India and Australia due to the hamstring injury he sustained during the IPL 2020.

The Gypsy Curse
Transylvania easily dispels the myth of the Victorian Gothic pot boiler but whilst large stretches have been stripped of any charm by the post revolutionary zeal to develop into a modern state, there are isolated pockets, lost in time, where peasants eke out a subsistence living, romantically portrayed as 'low carbon' and 'moneyless' rather than poor, by the tourist brochures and travel writers.
Romania has had its fair share of pogrom both under the Nazis and then the Russians, (in Transylvania 8000 villages were completely destroyed by the Ceaucescu regime), they are considered by the outside world and themselves to be the 'poor man of Europe.' It is hard to reconstruct a national identity when it seems no-one cares who you are or what you think.
Around the motorway 'non stops' there is uneducated superstition. I refused a gypsy begging by the roadside; a curse feels palpable and personal here just 3 hours away from the secular security of London. They mumble something Hungarian under their breath at you whilst maintaining eye contact and smiling.
As the sun went down, we raced along dirt tracks, dogs chasing and barking at the windows, towards a small village in the heart of Transylvania to dine with a Count, Count Kalnoky and his wife Anna. The Count had a priviedged upbringing in Munich and avoided the Ceauescu regime and was distant and socially awkward but Anna had lived through these terrible times and whilst much more socially engaging, still hid her emotions behind an expressionless gaze. At one point, she stood in the corner, facing into the wall for too long to illustrate her harsh treatment as a child. The butler shared with me "the local peasants think she is a witch".
I threw pálinka into the fire place, the alcohol creating huge flames adding to the melodrama but I drank too much and mixed with my medication, I later lay awake in my room alone, avoiding the whisper of spirits in my ears until dawn appeared through my shutters.
When I returned to London a large black fly flew out of my ear.

Der Weihnachtsmann
Here is the image used for my 2012 Christmas card in collaboration with Tenderpixel Gallery as a limited edition.
I don't remember exactly when I knew Father Christmas didn't exist; there are many moments of childhood that resonate emotionally but aren't tangible. I am lucky that occasions, sights and smells that remind me of childhood bring back only comfortable, happy memories.
Interestingly, (to me) I have no memory of ever being told I was adopted; it is as if I always knew and never knew any different. Clever.
I didn't have a sibling that shattered the magic of Santa Claus out of playful spite, I never caught my parents sneaking presents under the tree or replacing a tooth with some money under my pillow; I just stopped believing.

The Art of Corruption
On the same day that Saatchi Gallery was offering a free catalogue of 'Gaiety is the Most Outstanding Feature of the Soviet Union', I was booked in for an early visit to 56 Dean Street 'your friendly convenient central London sexual health and HIV clinic.'
Arriving soon afterwards at the gallery (along with a large primary school party of mainly Muslim girls), I was confronted with a huge print of a diseased and blistered penis as part of the exhibition of Boris Mikhailov's 'Case History' series. I assure you my penis is neither huge nor diseased (touch wood).
Saatchi Gallery has not been shy in their presentation of this incredible series and have given it an entire floor. I confess this is, in my opinion, the seminal collection of images from the 20th Century, seminal being the operative word.
I had the incredible privilege of working with Mikhailov in Ukraine in 2011 and he mentored me during the development of Hospital Gardens, Boys in a City Park and Mother & Child; I was able to form an opinion about the man first hand.
My overriding impression of him is that he is most like an elderly bacchanal elf; mischievous in the extreme. During a presentation of his new works (including rock formations in the shapes of female genitalia), our director and curator fell off her chair and his immediate response was to burst with laughter; at lunch he directed a young and beautiful intern to pose suggestively with a bottle, putting it in and out of her mouth. I love him obviously. He said my work was 'the skeleton from which all the other meat hangs'...a very creepy critique indeed but I'll take it, thank you.
Case History is a benchmark for any artist exploring concepts of truth and reality in their works, there is no work I know that comes closer to a sense of complete corruption both in the process of creation and presentation of the finished works. In the very act of corruption it is corruption exposed. Paradoxically, it is the most honest, 'real' work there is; the artist is present, literally within the works and it is free from the aesthetic ambition in the moment that challenges the authenticity of all other works.
Here's an image of Guy from the series 'The Big Society', throwing up in a bucket next to some fruit.

The Perfect Human
See link to a short 13 minute film 'Det perfekte menneske' made in 1967 by Jorgan Leth. The cold objectification of the human only seeks to emphasise the humanity of the subject. A metaphor about the strength of the human spirit to defeat the boundaries imposed or self-imposed. Its un-nerving to watch oneself from behind the glass.
If you have never seen it, take a look and if you know it, its worth seeing again.

Giotto in a Potato Chip
During the restoration work of Giotto di Bondone's fresco at the Bascilica of St Francis of Asisi, a face has been discovered in the clouds after being unnoticed for 700 years. There is some discussion about whether it is of the artist himself or even of Dante (neither of whom seem to have been very pretty from the existing portraits). Educated theories however centre around a mischievous and perhaps spiteful inclusion of this devilish likeness by the artist. Another possibility is that this depicts a belief at the time that demons hid in the clouds to block souls ascent to heaven, which I like.
Giotto may have interpreted this fascination for the discovery of images in the everyday world, however the original depiction of the mortality of St Francis has now been a little overshadowed by the scramble to get a glimpse of this 14th century equivalent of 'Jesus in some beer foam.'
We are reconnected to this medievil schizophrenia in contemporary life through funny shaped carrots and potato chips. Not much has changed, although A-list celebrity now shares the iconic spotlight with Jesus and the Virgin; science now defines it as Pareidolia, (the imagined perception of a pattern or meaning where it does not actually exist. Dictionary.com) citing Elvis in a potato crisp as evidence. It's an example of our need to imbue the banality of the everyday with meaning where there is often none, in the hope that there is more and as an audience of art the responsibility for meaning will often fall on us.
There is a collective participation in the acceptance of an emotional resonance that contemporary photographic artworks demand from us. Many works present a nothingness to receive our projections of meaning in the collection of pixels that form representations of reality. I play with this idea in Lion Hunting in Essex, where the undergrowth of a small Essex village is a potential hiding place for an escaped, large wild animal. I am thinking more famously of the most expensive photograph in the world, Andreas Gursky's Rhein II auctioned for 4.3 million dollars in 2011. It dares to elevate the everyday to the extraordinary and encourages us to see the world in a new way.
I have included by own little Gursky, the first photograph I remember taking when I was 8 years old in 1974.
Here are some examples supplied by the Huffington Post.

The Netherlands is seeking to regulate cryptocurrency companies, supposedly in a bid to prevent money laundering and alleged terrorist financing. All virtual currency businesses will now be required to obtain an operating license from De Nederlandsche Bank, the country's central bank, under draft legislation designed to prevent crypto assets such as BTC from being used for criminal activities.
Bitcoin's disruptive nature has often landed it in the crosshairs of a controlling global regulatory system, which is steeped in tradition. The decentralized and censorship-resistant cryptocurrency has been accused of many crimes, including being used by criminals to launder money, evade tax and fund terrorist activities throughout the world.
In a brief note published in the local daily De Telegraaf, the Dutch central bank said that cryptocurrency entities like exchanges will be compelled to know and to reveal the identities of their customers. Any "unusual transactions" should be reported to the bank, which will monitor the individuals and transactions on a continuous basis.
De Nederlandsche Bank has generally been open-minded about digital assets, while reiterating the need for inter-state regulation to curb issues of abuse, fraud and other criminal activity. The central bank has previously spoken of how cryptocurrency, in its current state, isn't a risk to financial stability.
But the regulation of digital currencies in the Netherlands is broadly reflective of wider sentiment throughout the European Union, where the treatment of crypto assets remains somewhat opaque. In Spain, for example, the government last month said it had identified 15,000 cryptocurrency investors it will monitor to prevent tax evasion and money laundering.
Different countries in Europe are experimenting with cryptocurrency regulation at different levels. The U.K. is planning a ban on BTC-linked derivatives and France is looking to build itself into a crypto haven with friendly laws. There is no congruency in approach to digital currency regulation within the European economic bloc.
As far as money laundering is concerned, cryptocurrencies have faced some criticism, with allegations that about $90 million has been funneled this way using over 45 digital coins since 2016. But the figure fails to register on the radar of global illicit flows when compared to commercial banks. For example, Germany's Deutsche Bank is being investigated for allegedly helping criminals launder money running into several billions of dollars. Last year, the bank was fined $700 million on similar charges – and that is just one institution.

When DPD Loses Track of a Tracking Device
Robert Wilonsky
| Crime |
Robert Wilonsky | January 13, 2010 | 10:49am
While we're on the subject of embarrassing videos, let's take a peek at the one above, posted by the Dallas Police Department a few days ago. In it, a man breaks into a DPD bait car to steal the GPS device, and the department's asking if anyone knows who's responsible for the smash-and-grab. But I had a question for DPD spokesman senior corporal Kevin Janse: If it's a bait car, and the department had the car wired, why the need for the public heads-up?
Well, as it turns out, it wasn't a bait car, but a car with bait -- in this case, the GPS device, which officers had planned on using to track down whoever was dumb enough to break into the car to steal the thing.
"Unfortunately, the tracking device malfunctioned, and we lost track of it," Janse says. "But that is an extremely rare occurrence. I don't think we've had that occur yet since we started it at Northwest."
So, then, this could be classified as an "ironic crime"?
"Very much so," Janse tells Unfair Park, "which is why we're appealing to the public. In any other instance we would have immediately tracked down the equipment and taken the subjects into custody within minutes. It's a great program. Unfortunately, technology is what it is, and in this instance it did not work in our favor."

You have a Rholoff hub?
Hi, beautifull picture! Can I ask you a question? You take your own pictures, and go to places when there is nobody around. How Do you chick your camera from so much far away? Timer is not enough, is it?
That sky is all you need! Happy exploring lassie!
@bemytravelmuse the rear hub? Is it an internal gear hub?
Beautiful 😍 I love the colours!
Wow this is stunning! You look so tiny in such an awesome landscape!
I love it up there. I was born in Inyo County!


Before Tivo's, DVR's and On Screen program guides, most of us got our TV program information from the newspaper or some stations even mailed program schedules to viewers in the earliest days of television. As programming got more developed, there was a need for a digest form of publication. Newspapers started to fill the void but other companies undertook independently owned TV Listing Magazines..TV Guide began as a strictly New York Publication before going national in 1953.
(6 cents an issue for the whole year). There are 5 issues on microfilm at Cleveland Public Library from February-April 1949. The listings below come from an educational teaching website.
Click on each page to see it in full. I find this to be a very interesting look at the entertainment culture/life of Cleveland in the late 1940's.
Still Feeling My way Here..
As Ive told some friends recently..This blog business is all new to me.I went with Blogger because of its ease of use and price (Free!) As such I am sort of feeling my way through this. The first template (look) was sort of default so I decided to try something new..Not sure I'll stay with this but I like it for now..BTW I plan on linking to some sites in the near future as soon as I figure out how to add links to the side of the page. Thanks to all for the encouragement and good wishes..I may try to work on something over the weekend..
That admittedly tired title above aptly describes NE Ohio AM radio the last week or so..Canton's WHBC-AM going to more full-Blown talk during the day and Sports Talk (FOX) nights and weekends. The only thing I don't agree with is the all weekend Fox Sports..We will see how things shake out..Also not sure about Dennis Miller as a talk host..
WKNR-ESPN 850 has put Kenny Roda on 6-9 PM and Mark "Munch" Bishop from 3-6PM.I didnt mind Roda being a Pittsburgh fan but I thought his act has gotten tired over the last couple years..Michael Reghi and Greg Brinda will be hosting Cavs and Indians post-game shows, respectively..Good moves there..Good to see Mel Karmazin actually trying to compete in sports talk..
Finally, WARF-1350 as of about a half hour ago, is all Sports again..Which is not surprising to me. They are taking Sporting News Radio, which seems to have more lives than a cat..basically because that is all that is available in the market..The libtalk format seems to have run its course in several markets..So the dumping of it is not a surprise..WARF will have Akron U Sports, Akron Aeros Baseball and will have the NHL Columbus Blue Jackets next season..Good move there. While WTIG Massillon also carries the Jackets, they are pre-empted often for High School Sports. I still would have liked to see Classic Country back on 1350.I like Sports, but it seems to be a little overkill here..We shall see what happens..
Short note:I have no problem with comments, but This will not be a free-for-all..There are several sites to "discuss" radio..Keep that in mind ..Thanks..
This being the first post, I thought I would share some thoughts about WEWS-TV 5 in Cleveland..Most Clevelanders hardly remember when Channel 5 was NOT an ABC affiliate. The call letters stood for E. W. Scripps, founder of the Scripps-Howard Newspaper chain, who also owned the Cleveland Press (Now E. W. Scripps, Inc. ) To prepare for the new station, which would be the first TV station in Ohio, Scripps-Howard put WEWS-FM 102.1 on the air early in 1947 to give some of the on-air employees experience.
WEWS signed on the air officially December 17, 1947. The station was affiliated with all four TV networks at first. The First program was the Cleveland Press Christmas Party with special guest, Movie Actor Jimmy Stewart. There were something like 300 TV sets in the Cleveland area. As other stations signed on in 1948 and 1949 WEWS settled into being the full CBS affiliate. My guess would be that WEWS is probably the station that has been owned the longest by the same company outside of Network owned and operated stations.
Below is a Saturday, February 12, 1949 schedule taken from TeleVue, a very early Cleveland TV Magazine..
8:30 Pabst Presents-Cleveland Barons Hockey (American Hockey League) The Barons take on the Washington Lions live from the Cleveland Arena.
10:30 Next Week On Television..
Linn Sheldon was one of the first Cleveland TV "stars" On his "Linn Sheldon Show" he lip synced popular records..His was the first sponsored show in Cleveland, by Rogers Jewelers..He also did coming attractions shows (sort of a "video" TV Guide) Sheldon gained lasting fame as Kid host "Barnaby" from 1956 till well into the 1980's on KYW/WKYC 3 and WUAB 43..
Hello All:-A little about me.
My name is Tim Lones...I reside in Canton, Ohio with my wife of nearly 15 years, Linda. I have worked in a Canton, Ohio grocery store as a stocker for over 15 years..Many of you have had contact with me through various Radio-Television Message Boards such as Radio-Info, Radio Insight and Ohio Media Watch, While I have interest in Radio-TV Broadcasting as a whole my particular focus for this blog will be"Classic Media" In NE Ohio..Television and Radio in particular. I might also comment on recent happenings in Broadcasting but I am not a "News Source"..I'll leave that to OMW and others.
While this will be mainly a media blog, I will also comment on some of my other interests, including but not limited to..Game Shows, Animated cartoons, Classic Country Music, DBS Satellite/Cable networks/programming, Southern Gospel/Christian topics Sports , and anything else that strikes my fancy..I hope to get maybe 2-3 postings in a week depending on work, etc..Thanks for reading..

Returning to Buxton from the Monsal Trail is a challenge. The A6 with no sidewalk is pedestrian-hostile. The verge is littered with drinks cans and bottles, hub caps, poly bags, McDonald's cartons, and discarded bits of car radios, wing mirrors, etc. Some vehicles alter their line to give you safe clear space, a few slow down, some do neither.
How much better would it be if the Monsal Trail continued to Buxton alongside the Wye Valley railway? It would bring recreational cyclists into town from other starting points along the trail, relieve pressure on parking and access along the trail at places like Millers Dale and Monsal Head, and being located near public transport it might just even encourage some people to leave the car at home. A new Bakewell to Buxton bike-to-work commuter route would be possible. The Wye Valley along this route is beautiful, and a new perspective on this landscape could be opened up. A tourist focal point is possible at Ashwood Park complementing the revival of Buxton Crescent at the other end of the high street. There would also be regeneration opportunities to this eastern side of the town, which is clearly the poor cousin as things stand, but with great potential.


HSO (Homeland Security Organization) – Formed at the dawn of the Urban Wars and focuses on the big picture, not individuals  Responsible for surveillance of Ricker, Patrick Roarke, and Troy.
According to Eve Dallas, the HSO is an antiterrorist organization that employs methods every bit as dirty as the terrorists they were initially formed to see out and destroy.
It is one of the most powerful organizations in the world.
During the early days of the Urban Wars, the government had formed the HSO as a way to protect the country, to police the streets and gather intel covertly from radical factions. It had done the job. It had been necessary. And over the years since, some said it had morphed into something closer to a legalized terrorist group than a protection and intel operation.
Blair Bissel was a level-two operative for the HSO. Felicity Kade brought him into the organization and had been a kind of trainer to him.
Neither former President Foster, nor the current administration has maintained very friendly relations with the HSO, or vice versa.
The HSO had a fat file on Patrick Roarke in which they tied him to Ricker; Patrick Roarke was considered one of Ricker's occasional tools, and not a particularly deft one. He took payoff money from the cops, took Ricker's money, double-crossed both sides, and went back to Dublin.
They had Richard Troy under surveillance, knew Eve what was happening to Eve ("sexual and physical abuse") and did nothing to prevent it. After she killed Troy, they cleaned up the mess, and the body, for her.
