Record-Setting Year for SEC Whistleblower Program
Posted in Whistleblowers
By almost any measure, Fiscal Year 2021 (ended September 30, 2021) was a watershed year in the history of the SEC's Whistleblower program. According to the recently published annual report of the SEC's Whistleblower Office, during FY 2021 the agency made the highest annual number of awards in the history of the program, both in terms of dollars and individuals awarded. Indeed, during FY 2021 the agency made more whistleblower awards than in all of the program's prior years combined. The SEC's Office of the Whistleblower's November 15, 2021 Report to Congress can be found here.
According to the Report, in FY 2021 the agency awarded $564 million in whistleblower awards to 108 individuals, "both the largest dollar among and the largest number of individuals awarded in a single year." By way of comparison, from the inception of the whistleblower program in FY 2011 through FY 2020, the Commission made approximately $562 in whistleblower awards to 106 whistleblowers. In other words, the Commission made more whistleblower awards than in all prior years combined.
The awards during FY 2021 included the three largest awards in the history of the program. In October 2021, the agency made a $114 million award to a single whistleblower, the largest award to a single whistleblower. In September 2021, the agency made a second $114 million award to two individuals. In April 2021, the agency issued an award of over $50 million to joint whistleblowers. These three awards alone totaled more than a quarter of a billion dollars.
While the size of the awards is astonishing, the fact is that the whistleblower program is producing results. The Report notes that information from meritorious whistleblowers has resulted in enforcement actions that led to nearly $5 billion in monetary sanctions, including more than $3.1 billion in disgorgement of ill-gotten gains and interest, of which more than $1.3 billion has been, or is scheduled to be, returned to harmed investors.
The one thing that is clear is that the awards have captured the imagination of prospective whistleblowers. In FY 2021, whistleblowers came forward in record numbers. The agency received 12,210 whistleblower reports in FY 2021, representing a 76% increase over FY 2020, when the agency received 6,911 reports. The number of whistleblower tips has increased every year since the program incepted in FY 2021. Over the life of the program, the agency has received over 52,400 whistleblower tips.
In terms of the type of wrongdoing identified in the whistleblower reports during FY 2021, the most common type of allegation was manipulation (25% of all reports), followed by corporate disclosures and financials (16%), and offering fraud (16%). Interestingly, 6.2% of the FY 2021 reports involved initial coin offerings and cryptocurrencies.
The 2021 whistleblowers reports were made by whistleblowers in all 50 U.S. states (as well as the District of Columbia, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico). The state with the highest number of whistleblowers was California (1,006), followed by Maryland (486), and Florida (468).
About 1350 of the FY 2021 whistleblower reports were received from whistleblowers located outside the U.S. During the year the agency received reports from whistleblowers in 99 foreign countries. The country with the highest number of whistleblowers during the year was Canada (248), followed by China (152), Colombia (85), and India (81).
Overall, the report notes that whistleblowers have made "a tremendous contribution to the agency's ability to detect securities law violations." The Report quotes the current acting head of the Whistleblower Office as saying that "The success of the Commission's whistleblower program in landmark FY 2021 demonstrates that it is a vital component of the Commission's enforcement efforts."
The acting head also acknowledged that one of the justifications for the agency's large is awards is that they will encourage other whistleblowers to come forward. The Report quotes the acting head as saying that "We hope the awards made this year continue to encourage whistleblowers to report specific, timely, and credible information to the Commission, which will enhance the agency's ability to detect wrongdoing and protect investors and the marketplace."
The numbers for FY 2021 really are amazing. But one thing that is implicit in all these numbers is that, while it is possible for a whistleblower to receive a huge bounty, the chances of any whistleblower actually getting an award are very small. Those of you who were reading the numbers closely noted that while the agency has received more than 52,400 whistleblower reports during the life of the program, the agency has only made a total of 214 awards. While more than half of those awards were made in FY 2021 (meaning that the whistleblower's prospects are improving), the fact is that over the life of the program, only 0.4% of all whistleblowers actually received an award of any kind. Making a whistleblower report in the hope of receiving a whistleblower bounty is actually a longshot proposition, at best. It will however be interesting to watch to see if the increase number of whistleblower awards continues to increase.
Long time readers know I have followed the whistleblower program closely over the years. Part of the reason for the attention is that I find the action of whistleblowers interesting. It is hard to know from the outside, but I suspect there are a lot of interesting stories in the whistleblower reports the SEC receives.
Another reason I have been following the whistleblower program closely is that I thought when the program was put in place that it would lead to a surge in private securities class action lawsuits based on allegations that the whistleblowers brought to light. The fact is that there never was a surge. Indeed, for most of the program's existence, there were, as far as I was aware, no private securities suits based on allegations brought to light by an SEC whistleblower.
That changed this past year. As discussed here, in January 2021, a plaintiff shareholder filed a securities class action against ExxonMobil based on SEC launched an investigation of the company based on whistleblower reports questioning the company's asset valuations of its Permian basin oil fields. More recently, a plaintiff shareholder filed a securities suit against Meta Platforms (Facebook's parent) based on a whistleblower's disclosures about safety and social features of the company's Instagram platform. The Facebook whistleblower made her allegations quite publicly, but she also made them in an SEC whistleblower report as well.
These two lawsuits in calendar year 2021 relating to SEC whistleblower reports are not enough to constitute a trend; it is hard to say whether there might be other cases filed in the future based on whistleblower reports. But the cases do show how whistleblower allegations can lead to securities class action lawsuits.

NFF appoints Eguavoen interim Super Eagles' technical director
By NigerianNewsLive
Augustine Eguavoen
...Ends relationship with Rohr
The Nigeria Football Federation has appointed Mr Augustine Eguavoen, currently its Technical Director, as the Technical Adviser of the Super Eagles on an interim basis. This is with immediate effect, and follows the termination of the relationship with Franco-German Gernot Rohr, who has been in charge of the three–time African champions for the past 64 months, and is Nigeria's longest–serving manager.
Following a virtual meeting of the NFF Executive Committee on Sunday, it was decided that Eguavoen will work with Salisu Yusuf (Chief Coach); Paul Aigbogun (Assistant Coach); Joseph Yobo (Assistant Coach); Dr Terry Eguaoje (Assistant Coach) and Aloysius Agu (Goalkeeper Trainer). Former Nigeria captains Augustine 'Jay Jay' Okocha, Nwankwo Kanu and Garba Lawal have been appointed to provide technical and ambassadorial support for the crew.
General Secretary of the NFF, Dr Mohammed Sanusi said: "The relationship between the Nigeria Football Federation and Mr Rohr has come to an end. We thank him for his services to the Super Eagles and Nigeria.
"We also want to thank the Federal Ministry of Youth and Sports for their collaboration and guidance all through."
Eguavoen, a former Nigeria captain, was coach of the squad when it finished in third place at the Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt in 2006. He was on-field captain when the Super Eagles lifted the Africa Cup for the first time on away ground, in Tunisia 27 years ago.
He will now take charge of the team as it begins preparations for the 33rd Africa Cup of Nations taking place in Cameroon 9th January – 6th February 2022, and until the appointment of a substantive Head Coach.

Chicago, Illinois: Time Traveling Coffee Shop
1980s-themed coffee shop The Wormhole, with full-size "Back to the Future"-style DeLorean.

Time Traveling Coffee Shop
While the Delorean is now nestled in the back of the shop, it is still awesome and I get nostalgic and happy every time I see it. The biggest excitement for me: their inventive coffee drinks. They have new flavors all the time and they are delicious. Best latte in Chicago if you ask me! They also have vegan pastries and old time candy such as Chico Stix!
[M, 04/04/2013]
The Delorean is still there, but it's been moved above the floor. The whole place had a facelift, and it's better than ever! Great coffee, and enjoy playing some video games (NINTENDO!) while there!
[Nic, 03/14/2012]
Not only does the "Back to the Future" DeLorean have a flux capacitor, but a schematic diagram of it adorns the plate glass window.
Sip coffee at the glass table with dozens of miniature star wars characters in a sandy setting that reminds one of Tatooine, while contemplating space and time travel.
Bonus: get a "my other car is a time machine" bumper sticker to go.
[swtrekker, 07/04/2011]
Back to the Future's DeLorean Replica
Stuffed in the window of The Wormhole Coffee is a DeLorean built to replicate the one from Back to the Future. The shop owner - an '80s child with a movie obsession - bought the car without the engine and assembled it in the store, adding all the Back to the Future specialty pieces like a "flux capacitor." 1980s movie toys, posters and shmada fill the rest of the store and include a model of the movie car.
He's also quite serious about coffee and they serve espresso over cocoa puffs for their trademark "Mocha Puffs." If only you could watch the Smurfs while you eat it. I wish he had TVs showing classic '80s movies and cartoons. It's otherwise perfect.

One year later, opinion on Jersey City's paid sick time law is still mixed
Updated Jan 17, 2019; Posted Sep 25, 2014
By Terrence T. McDonald | The Jersey Journal
jersey-city-city-hall-real-estate-welcome-to-jersey-city-sign.JPG
Jersey City last year became the first in the state to require paid sick time for most workers.
(Jersey Journal file photo)
Jersey City became the first city in the state to adopt a paid sick leave mandate one year ago today, an action that started a cascade of approvals of similar laws across New Jersey as well as a movement to implement a statewide law guaranteeing workers paid sick time.
The law, championed by liberals and opposed by business groups, requires businesses with 10 or more workers to provide paid sick time to all their workers. Full-time workers get a maximum of five paid sick days annually under the mandate.
It was one of Steve Fulop's first splashy moves as mayor. Fulop, a Democrat, cited it as his No. 1 achievement in July when speaking to The Jersey Journal about his first year in office. This week, Fulop said the mandate is "going great."
"There are countless examples of families it has helped, working families," he said. "Despite what people said, that the business community would suffer, our unemployment rate ... has dropped faster than any other urban area in the region."
Fulop's initiative inspired other big cities to pass similar laws, including
Newark, Passaic and East Orange. Earlier this month, Paterson became the fifth
city in New Jersey to pass a paid sick leave law.
Voters in Trenton and Montclair will decide in November whether to their municipalities will join the pack, and liberal activists are pushing for a statewide law.
LIBERAL BONAFIDES
Fran Moran, an associate professor of political science at New Jersey City University, said paid sick leave laws are becoming more popular with liberal Democratic politicians, who see them as a way to energize low-income workers who aren't always reliable voters.
"It's a quick way to establish your credibility with voters on the ground," Moran said, adding that "if you get them engaged in the process with something tangible and concrete, it could help nationally."
The measure helps Fulop politically, too.
Moran said Fulop can tout the mandate if he ends up running for governor in 2017 and has to defeat fellow Democrats in a competitive primary. The mayor can brag about the city's robust economic growth while arguing that he has not exacerbated the gap between the rich and the poor, he said.
"It absolutely establishes his bonafides there and helps nail down the liberal wing of the party," Moran said. "He can make that connection ... we can have the growth and we can still take care of the people at the bottom."
Kelly Dittmar, an assistant research professor at Rutgers' Center for American Women and Politics, agrees that paid sick leave can help drive non-reliable voters to the polls. And many of these low-wage workers are young, single women that Dittmar calls "swing voters."
"They can swing an election because they're generally reliable Democratic voters," she said.
'HEADACHE'
The mandate sailed through the City Council with only one nay vote and one
abstention, and just one member of the public announcing his objections prior
to the vote. But it's not popular with everyone.
Paid sick leave is one of the reasons Eric Fleming helped to form the Downtown Business Association of Jersey City. Fleming, whose wife owns Cocoa Bakery, on Grand Street, objects to being forced to provide paid sick leave, and said as president of the new group, he hopes small business owners will have more of a say when the city proposes such regulations.
Fleming said his wife's bakery keeps its staff below 10 to avoid the regulation.
"We don't want to deal with the headache," he said.
Mandatory paid sick leave in Jersey City: What you need to know
The legislation is "vague" on a number of points, according to Fleming, who objects to the mandate's requirement that businesses hold onto records for three years detailing how much paid sick time each employee has earned and how much they utilized. That kind of record keeping would open up his wife to liability, Fleming said.
Bill Gray, owner of Light Horse Tavern, on Washington Street, said the mandate "really hasn't had that much of an impact." Gray, who employs a staff of over 50, said Light Horse Tavern already provided vacation days to workers so he didn't have to change many policies as a result of the city regulation.
Still, he'd rather not deal with it at all.
"It's just another thing for a small business to do," Gray said.
MOVEMENT STATEWIDE
By enacting paid sick leave, which became law in January, Jersey City "showed leadership," according to Gordon MacInnes, president of liberal think tank New Jersey Policy Perspective.
Workers who make low wages don't always have health insurance, and they're faced with a "nasty choice" when they get sick, MacInnes said: go to work and pass it on to others, or stay home and lose a day's wages or, possibly, face termination.
MacInnes is pushing for a statewide version of Jersey City's law, though he doesn't think there will be enough political support for it this year.
New Jersey has 4.6 million workers and 1.1 million do not have health insurance, Census figures show. Many of those uninsured workers need protection when they get sick, and only a statewide paid sick time law will help them, according to MacInnes.
"Jersey City showed the way," he said.
State Assembly Speaker Vincent Prieto, D-Secaucus, has said Democrats will consider a statewide paid sick leave bill this year, but it's opposed by some Republicans, who have introduced a bill banning local governments from forcing the policy on businesses.
Assemblyman Minority Leader Jon Bramnick, R-Westfield, last month called paid sick leave a "radical idea," and business groups are sure to fight a New Jersey law as well.
Maria Nieves, who heads the Hudson County Chamber of Commerce, opposed Jersey City's bill last year and still opposes it. Nieves said the business group
hasn't done any formal survey – Jersey City will commission a study in January
to study the law's effects – but she's heard from some large companies that say
the law is "a bit burdensome."
Large companies have had to make sure their personnel software is capturing information properly, and they are often confused as to whether the personal time they already grant their employees complies with the city's mandate, Nieves said.
Nieves also has concerns about paid sick time becoming a statewide mandate.
"These bills are very prescriptive and I don't think they contribute to
positioning New Jersey as a whole as having a very inviting business
climate," she said.

Term entries in the full glossary matching "link"
An extended link is a link that associates an arbitrary number of resources. The participating resources may be any combination of remote and local.
A link expresses one or more (explicit or implicit) relationships between two or more resources.
Note: The type of the relationship can describe relationships like "authored by", "embedded", etc. Types can themselves be identified by URIs as for example is the case for RDF .
A reference from one document to another (external link), or from one location in the same document to another (internal link), that can be followed efficiently using a computer. The unit of connection in hypertext.
A set of grammars that when matched by something the user says or keys in, either transitions to a new dialog or document or throws an event in the current form item.
A relationship between two anchors , stored in the same or different database . See "Internal" and "External" .
A relationship between two resources when one resource (representation) refers to the other resource by means of a URI.
An XLink link is an explicit relationship between resources or portions of resources.
Documents containing collections of inbound and third-party links are called link databases, or linkbases.
It is made explicit by an XLink linking element, which is an XLink-conforming XML element that asserts the existence of a link.
A simple link is a link that associates exactly two resources, one local and one remote, with an arc going from the former to the latter. Thus, a simple link is always an outbound link.
Simple links offer shorthand syntax for a common kind of link, an outbound link with exactly two participating resources (into which category HTML-style A and IMG links fall). Because simple links offer less functionality than extended links, they have no special internal structure.While simple links are conceptually a subset of extended links, they are syntactically different. For example, to convert a simple link into an extended link, several structural changes would be needed.
Linking support for XML. XLL defines the #anchor syntax component of URIs for XML. A syntax for identifying elements in a document tree (e.g. based on element names that can contain arbitrary characters in XML), as well as for identifying portions of text, is defined. For consistent identification of portions of text, either or both of string identity matching and string indexing are necessary.

Photo: Strike in Greenfield
Sixty-three workers are on strike in Greenfield. They are asking the public to join them on the picket line outside 34 Sanderson Street, 24 hours a day from now until August 14 at 11 p.m. There will be a mass rally at that location at 2 p.m. on August 12.

Jason McGrath started working at the Greenfield Kennametal factory 20 years ago. He still works there. He was laid off three times, each time for several years. "The company is demanding that we work mandatory overtime," McGrath told the Valley Post. "That's just one of many reasons we're on strike." The workers have a web site at www.ueUnion.org.
The workers make taps -– not the kind used to turn water on and off, but the kind used to make a threaded hole in metal, or in other material. The factory is owned by Pennsylvania-based Kennametal Corporation, whose CEO makes more than $1 million a year.
On average, workers in the USA make 27 percent higher wages when they join a union. That's according to www.bls.gov. Most union contracts say workers can only be fired for "just cause." Non-union workers can be fired at any time for no reason.
Millions of workers in the USA are union members, including all the workers at UPS, UMass Amherst, the Brattleboro Retreat (600 of the 900 Retreat workers are union members), and the food co-ops in Northampton, Greenfield, and Brattleboro. The Brattleboro co-op has about 160 employees.
The middle class in the USA is disappearing. There are more rich people and more poor people than there have been since the 1920s. This allows billionaires more influence over politicians. Unions are one way to expand the middle class and increase democracy.
Shawn Coates has worked at the Greenfield factory for 30 years. "What the company is trying to impose is going to hurt people," he told the Valley Post.

The White House's Problem Is Dishonesty, Not Chaos
The fumbling of domestic-violence accusations against Rob Porter is a story about the administration's inability to tell the truth, not its disorganization.
Jonathan Ernst / Reuters
The White House's response to allegations of domestic violence against former Staff Secretary Rob Porter has so stunned reporters that the whole episode has become an exemplar of the total disorganization of the Trump administration.
"Abuse Case Exposes Fissures in a White House in Turmoil," The New York Times intones. Axios's Jonathan Swan writes, "This is crazy. Even in a White House that's famous for chaos, I've never seen anything like this." Politico's Playbook simply announced, "CHAOS at 1600 Pennsylvania."
This is peculiar, not only because it is difficult to imagine what would rise to the level of notable chaos relative to the standards of this White House. It's strange because the focus on disorder has overshadowed the more salient feature of the moment: Insofar as the administration is engulfed in chaos, it is a result of its inability to tell the truth. The Trump team doesn't have a chaos problem so much as it has a dishonesty problem. Of course this is not new, either—in fact, the serial dissembling of the White House has become so banal that it goes almost unremarked in this case—yet it is on particularly dramatic display here.
It might be useful to rehearse the basic chronology. Early last week, the Daily Mail reported on allegations of physical and verbal abuse lodged against Porter by his two ex-wives. Tuesday night, Chief of Staff John Kelly issued a statement standing firmly behind Porter, who worked closely with both Kelly and the president. Wednesday morning, The Intercept published photos showing a black eye Porter had allegedly given one ex-wife, Colbie Holderness. Later that day, Porter resigned. The time since has seen investigation and recrimination about who knew what. Both of Porter's ex-wives had told the FBI about their allegations during the background-check process, and White House Counsel Don McGahn reportedly knew about allegations as early as January 2017. Politico reports Kelly also knew of a 2010 protective order against Porter this fall. The White House had also learned, well before the Daily Mail stories, that the FBI would recommend Porter not be given security clearance. (The FBI's recommendation is non-binding on the president.)
A Scandal That Exposes the White House's 'Adults'
Among the Guardsmen

Donald Trump Is Out. Are We Ready to Talk About How He Got In?
In the immediate aftermath of Porter's departure, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said that Porter had resigned of his own volition. The following day, her deputy Raj Shah repeated that claim, and refused to speculate about what might have happened had Porter not opted to leave. (Axios reported that Kelly was urging Porter to "stay and fight" the accusations Tuesday night.)
Here, however, is an account that White House staffers gave to the Times:
Nonetheless, the people briefed on the discussions said, Mr. Kelly told Mr. Porter at some point later that evening that he needed to resign. Mr. Porter agreed. It was not issued as a clear order, but it was understood that Mr. Porter would go, according to the two people briefed on the discussions. Mr. Porter has offered a different version of events, telling associates that he was initially urged to stay on and fight, including by Mr. Kelly.
Either way, Mr. Porter arrived at work on Wednesday morning and told Mr. Kelly that he was reconsidering stepping down, according to the two people briefed. Mr. Kelly again said Mr. Porter needed to leave, the people said. Mr. Porter agreed and told colleagues that he planned to resign without setting a departure date so he could help with the transition.
In other words, White House staffers are speaking to the nation's newspaper of record to insist that the White House's own official explanation about Porter's departure is a lie. This would be more astounding if not for all the other times spokespeople have been made to say things the administration later acknowledges are untrue—from the size of the Inauguration crowd to the reason for FBI Director James Comey's firing to the content of the June 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer at Trump Tower.
The battles with truth do not end here. Kelly told staffers that the White House takes domestic violence seriously, but believing that requires disregarding reports that McGahn and later Kelly were aware of some of the allegations against Porter for some time before acting, and even without that, ignoring the fact that Kelly issued his supportive statement about Porter even while (supposedly) pushing him out. White House staffers also complained to The Washington Post that they felt Kelly was pushing an untrue version of events.
The president plays a role in this as well. In his first statements on the Porter case, Trump highlighted Porter's claims of innocence, wished him well, and offered no sympathy for the victims. Over the weekend, he tweeted to complain that "Peoples [sic] lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation." Axios reports that privately, however, the president has told multiple people that he believes the accusations against Porter, and finds him "sick."
The political logic of this maneuver—standing by Porter publicly while blasting him privately—is counterintuitive, though in keeping with Trump's tendency to play to hot-button culture-war issues that he thinks will rile up his base. (In a similar vein, Trump's old strategist Steve Bannon is saying that the #MeToo movement will undo "10,000 years of recorded history.") Whether it is political malpractice or political genius, it means Trump is not telling the truth in at least one venue.
The president, with his prodigious capacity for pumping out nonsense, may be the wellspring of the White House's honesty problem, but he is not alone. The Times reports that one factor in Kelly's recent struggles is the loss of his deputy Kirstjen Nielsen, who was tapped to succeed him as secretary of Homeland Security: "Ms. Nielsen frequently blocked and tackled for the chief of staff, making herself the main line of approach to him. Without her, officials often approach Mr. Kelly freely now, and he sometimes does not remember what he has said to different people, two officials said."
Telling conflicting things to different people is indeed likely to sow chaos, but chaos is only a product. It's much easier to avoid telling conflicting stories if one sticks to the truth.

Why We Have To Learn How To Deal With Narcissism And Narcissistic Feeding
Clipart Royalty Free Stock Blackandwhite Sadgirl Tumblr - Moko Illustration
By Sally Davis, guest writer
For my entire life, I have felt like a burden. I felt like I was inconvenient to my family; a hassle, annoying, always in the way. I was consistently described as 'challenging' or 'tricky', so much so that I began to believe this is who I am and adopted that as part of my identity. It felt normal to create drama, problems and discomfort. I didn't just live in chaos and create chaos - I was chaos.
It has been like the self-fulfilling prophecy of my life. I felt like I walked around apologising for myself, for being there, being a nuisance. I could revel in drama saying "it just follows me around!" but knowing full well that I needed the attention to validate myself. But I had so become the 'problem protagonist' in my own life that the more appropriate question was, who was I without being the source of chaos, a problem or a burden? When you are told that's who you are, it becomes so ingrained in you and conditioned that it becomes your identity and you can be barely conscious anymore.
What I never realised in my life until I started working closely with a mentor is that making myself the centre of attention and validating myself through others is narcissistic. The more I started learning through mentoring with Lighthouse International what narcissism is, the more I could understand the root of it and where this had started in me. The more I looked at the feelings I had about myself - that I was a problem and a burden - and saw that this stemmed from my relationship with my parents, it became clear to me that my own narcissistic traits were born out of their narcissism.
Narcissism and Narcissistic Feeding Defined
In an article in Psychology Today, Darlene Lancer explains narcissism as being a fundamental deficiency of core needs in early development that inhibits healthy emotional development over time. She writes "Narcissists' deficient self and inner resources make them dependent on other people to affirm their impaired self-esteem and fragile ego".
The term narcissistic supply, or narcissistic feeding, comes from how a narcissistic person will use other people in their life to build their significance or their idea of themselves. Family and personal relationships to the narcissistic person become a means to an end, as their connections serve a function: to serve them.
They will encourage, discourage, reward and punish you in a way which is purely dependent on their own thoughts, feelings and view of themselves. But, whatever their action, it will always be out of their own dire need to be more powerful, more beautiful, more special, more significant and more valuable than you.
When I saw this behaviour in myself, of needing to build my own self-significance, I became aware of the hurt and pain I had felt inside from my childhood and my teens. And then because I could see it in myself, I could see it in others and most starkly in my parents.
"Better Things To Do": Narcissistic Damage Through Neglect
Dr Susan Forward writes in her book Toxic Parents that "Parents who focus their energies on their own physical and emotional survival send a very powerful message to their children: 'Your feelings are not important. I'm the only one who counts'".
(Forward, 1989) Parental narcissism in the form of neglect is not always about physical neglect, although it is, but it is more about what that physical neglect implies - you are not a priority. But physical distance isn't necessary to get this message across. Parents can be in the same room as their children or adult children 24/7 and still neglect them emotionally and spiritually due to total self-absorption. Dr Forward calls this 'damage through omission [rather than] commission'. (Forward, 1989)
For me, neglect was both physical and emotional. Growing up, my father would very rarely attend school events, because he saw it as a waste of his time which could be better spent in the office. And if he did attend, he would complain that school concerts were just "loads of children who didn't know how to play their instruments".
My mother has also at various points in my life used neglect in the form of the silent treatment as a form of punishment and manipulation. The message this sends as a child or adult child is "when you do not please me, I withdraw love".
In my teens, both of my parents moved abroad after their divorce and very rarely visited. Both parents expected me to visit them twice a year yet would rarely visit themselves. In 10 years, my mother visited the UK approximately five times and on two of those visits, she did not see me.
My father visited the UK more frequently but still made many visits in which he "didn't have time to see me". The self-absorption was ever-present as work was always placed as more important than his own children.
One time when I was at university, I had a phone call with my father and I invited him to come out to visit me in my university town which was less than an hour outside of London by train so I could show him around, have lunch and we could spend the day together. My father's reply was: "Oh I don't have time for that, I have things to do". His view of himself, as busy and important, was reinforced through making statements like that even though they were at the expense of his daughter. Even though this was a rejection of me, it fed his own self-importance.
Narcississtically Feeding On Your Flaws and Failures
Parents who are narcissistic and narcissistically 'feed' on their child think that it is their duty to make sure their child lives up to their expectations. This means they are overly critical and they think that they are loving you by disciplining you and pointing out your flaws. However it is not done for your personal growth as an individual human being, it is your growth as an extension of them. It is not done with love and affection and it's not a conversation; it is a demand, it is a harangue justified as love. Narcissistic parents can shout at their children for not behaving in a certain way and describe it as character building, or something that you need to learn.
One summer I helped with the reorganisation of my father's home office, my father shouted at me and called me a bitch. I was so terrified that over the next few days whilst he was away on business, I worked all hours possible to organise everything perfectly. When he came back and went into the office, he came down and gave me a big hug, convinced that his method had worked although it had left me terrified of my father's cruelty. When my sister was younger, she suffered from anorexia, and my father shouted at her one day that she needed to eat or he would ram it down her throat. She started eating the next day and my father said "maybe she finally realised that her dad does love her".
Narcissistic parents feel they are justified in their actions no matter how abusive, distressing or controlling because they are not concerned with the emotional wellbeing of their child, they are only concerned with how it reflects on them and will use cruel, humiliating or machiavellian methods to do so.
Growing up, I never felt like I could learn in a safe environment and that if I didn't know something or didn't do something properly it was because I was being "tricky", stupid or "a bitch" - words I learned to call myself from my father, not those I gave myself. The care and empathy required of a loving parent was missing because fundamentally my parents lacked the ability to take responsibility for their own emotional deficiencies and projected that onto me resulting in increased anxiety, low self-esteem and developing a high energy ego that would behave like a defence mechanism against my feeling of irrational inferiority.
Gaining Social Mileage: Narcissistically Feeding Off Your Success
A narcissistic parent does not regard the emotions of their child, only how their child makes them feel. When children are pleasing, they are congratulated. When they aren't, they are a problem and they will be blamed for that. I learned in my teens that if I only shared positive elements of my life then my parents would remain pleased with me and congratulate me. I had learned enough times that if I shared a problem I was having with them, it was somehow made to seem like it was my own fault.
When I started working in a commendable sector, my parents were able to use my success to their advantage for their own kudos. My parents suddenly had something to tell other members of the family or their friends about what it was I was doing. One time I was let go from a role in a very toxic company with links to some high profile members of society and the royal family. Years later, my father would still refer to that as a company where I was "making a real difference", rather than a job I had been bullied in. It made me feel like I had deserved to be bullied, like what I had experienced in that job which had been stressful and traumatising in many ways was supposed to be good for me. But this neglected the toxic environment it had been in reality.
Some years later, with a new job I got, when I shared with him what my salary was (which I now realise I did subconsciously to please him), he was ecstatic and was telling people that I made "as much as a fully trained architect" which was his measure for my success.
A few years ago, I received an award from a respected body in my field and brought my mum with me as it was during one of the rare times she visited. She beamed with pride during the whole ceremony, and said to people that I was her daughter. We passed one of my colleagues in the reception who said I looked nice, and I later got scolded by my mother for making a joke that I don't usually make that much of an effort in the office.
There was nothing strictly damning in her behaviour that day but where it reveals itself to be narcissistic feeding was the fixation on upholding a superficial image and how, when I left that sector to pursue mentoring work, her support and pride in her daughter utterly vanished because it didn't fit with her idea for who she wanted me to be, and who she had told her friends I was. "But you won that award!" and "You were so good at it!" being the two favourite sayings as to why I ought to have stayed in that line of work. My own personal development in my choice of career and my happiness was pushed down the priority list to make way for what would look good, sound good and that would impress other people.
Our research at Lighthouse, which psychologists and social scientists will confirm, has found that most people are almost entirely ignorant of narcissism - what it is and how it affects them - yet they are damaged by it, are fed on by it, while feeding on others - it's the biggest pervasive ignorance of toxicity in family life and it's getting progressively worse by generation.
In the same way that I was initially unaware of how I was making myself the centre of attention, my mother and father have been unaware and ignorant of how their narcissism is a product of their own developmental damage inflicted by their own parents and how that is now damaging their daughter. What we call the intergenerational nightmare.
It Isn't Love: Narcissistic Feeding In The Name of Care
My narcissistic traits were born out of how my parents had treated me and the emotional dependencies that their physical and emotional neglect left me with. Because my feelings as an independent person were never validated by my primary caregivers (i.e. my parents), I was always seeking validation from them and other people. I would get into a state of deep anxiety if I was not verbally encouraged and given positive reinforcement, I needed compliments and was, subconsciously, continually testing people around me to be able to ascertain whether they would abandon me or care about me.
Where it is all the more dangerous is that I have understood the affection given by my parents when I was pleasing to them AS love itself. Which I now know it is definitely not. When they have fed on me, I have seen that as love - that either they are proud of me for something I have done that makes them look good or when they are controlling me over something I have failed to do - it's all because they "care". But the role of a parent is to love volitionally - i.e. love that is deliberately given through independent choice, not obligation and to counsel, lead, mentor and coach their child into realising their potential. Their potential.
When parental narcissism loses sight of this role and focuses instead on themselves and the building of their own significance, the damage that they do to their children leaves a devastating impact, psychologically, emotionally and spiritually and can even turn their own child into a narcissistic person as well because they never fulfilled the emotional needs of their child.
Calling A Spade A Spade: Confronting The Narcissism
The narcissism in my parents became extremely clear when I addressed it with them. Their self-absorption and self-significance, both classic narcissistic traits, was greatly threatened when I started putting boundaries down in my life for what they were no longer permitted to control, where their opinion was not requested or wanted, or their use of abusive language and even bullying tactics became unacceptable. Both of my parents demonstrated what is known as narcissistic rage based on this change in the status quo.
As Shannon L Alder says "You will never get the truth out of a Narcissist. The closest you will ever come is a story that either makes them the victim or the hero, but never the villain." Their ability to take responsibility for their wrongdoing and their damage is at odds with how they have built their idea of themselves. In the case of my parents, when I wrote them each a letter addressing the hurt they had caused me in my life and how we can build a new, healthy relationship instead, neither of them replied. They could no longer feed on me for their own significance so I was no more of use to them, hoping perhaps that I would return to my former position as their narcissistic supply.
As I have begun my journey of healing from all the pain I experienced due to my parents' narcissistic abuse, it was through having the guidance of a mentor, coach and counsellor that I was able to learn how I had misunderstood narcissistic supply as love. I could gradually learn how to value myself as an individual human being without requiring external validation from others as I had when I was unconsciously behaving within narcissistic traits of my own. Although it has been a hard and painful process which is still very much in its infancy, I have felt liberation that can only be felt when that parental feeding tube is removed and I write in the hope this may help others.

Intel Keeps Number of Larrabee Cores Under Wraps
By Sumner Lemon and Agam Shah, IDG News Service
Intel plans to detail the architecture of its upcoming Larrabee chip at the SIGGRAPH conference on Aug. 12, but the company will keep one important aspect of the chip under wraps: the number of cores it will have.
When released in 2009 or 2010, the first Larrabee chip will have many x86 processor cores and support OpenGL and DirectX, allowing the chip to run existing games and software, Intel said. The chip will also find a home in applications that require serious power, such as software used in the financial industry and academic research.
Larrabee is part of Intel's tera-scale research program, which the company bills as the largest technology research investment it has ever made. That's a significant statement given Intel spent US$1.47 billion on research and development during the second quarter -- more than the $1.35 billion that rival Advanced Micro Devices recorded in revenue for the same period.
Intel's goal with Larrabee is to delivering full graphics-processing capabilities with an x86-based chip, said Larry Seiler, chief architect of Intel's visual computing group. The chip will be Intel's first targeted at the gaming market and industries that require high-performance parallel processing and graphics power, like oil and gas exploration.
While Intel did not reveal how many cores the first Larrabee chip will have or discuss other product details, the company showed journalists a presentation that detailed how the chip's performance can scale using from eight to 48 cores. That number matches earlier comments by senior Intel executives that Larrabee will eventually have dozens of individual processor cores.
The Larrabee cores are based on the design of the Pentium processor cores, with enhancements such as a wide vector processing unit, 64-bit extensions, multithreading, and pre-fetching, Intel said. The chip will also have dedicated co-processors to handle specific graphics functions, such as textures.
The array of processor cores contained in Larrabee combines the parallel processing capabilities of GPUs with the x86 architecture, improving application and graphics performance, Seiler said. The chip will make graphics rendering faster, he said.
While steps like rasterization and pixel shading are piled up to render graphics using a GPU, Larrabee bundles those up to render graphics in just three steps, Seiler said.
Although it sounds promising, Larrabee needs programmers to develop applications that tap the chip's power. Broad software support and technical expertise surrounding the x86 architecture translates to a large potential number of Larrabee programmers, said Tom Forsyth, a software engineer at Intel.
However, exporting Larrabee-specific programs to other platforms -- like gaming consoles -- could be a problem, Intel executives admitted. Intel is trying to offset that with plans to support more software environments. It is also working with companies including Apple and Microsoft to develop parallel programming tools.
The Larrabee chip will compete with graphics processors from vendors including Nvidia and AMD.

Microsoft said the new Explorer represents a significant advance in the software. "We really took a look at where we could build in intelligence throughout the product," said Rob Bennett, product manager for Microsoft's Internet client group.
The keyword feature, called AutoSearch, is not included in Wednesday's release. But the final version, due to ship in the first quarter of next year, will support it as part of a larger family of technologies called IntelliSense.

As I have grave fears as to the future of my business, your prompt reply to these matters will be greatly appreciated.

Anfield produces its greatest-ever night as Liverpool turn the impossible into reality
There are nights when it feels as though football transcends reality. It takes you to a whole different dimension well beyond the realms of ordinary everyday life. Anfield is renowned for them.
Chelsea in 2005 was one of them. Dortmund in 2016 another. Last season, Man City and Roma were vanquished in a scorching red blaze.
This, though, was a different beast.
"If we can do it, wonderful. If not, then fail in the beautiful way," were the words of Jurgen Klopp in his pre-match press conference. Anyone who watched the first leg at the Nou Camp will have seen Liverpool were a match for Barcelona, only to be punished for a lack of ruthless finishing.
The first leg result did not represent the gap in quality between these two sides. Liverpool were always more than capable of beating Barcelona at Anfield—that much was clear. But to do so scoring four goals without reply?
Not impossible, but improbable in the extreme.
Shorn of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Naby Keita, the mountain Liverpool had to climb had been made even higher. Xherdan Shaqiri and Divock Origi carried hope, but no real expectation on their shoulders.
Unable to play due to his concussion suffered in the dramatic win at Newcastle, Salah walked into Anfield on Tuesday night with a black t-shirt emblazoned in white with the message: "Never give up".
That, if nothing else, is the mantra which has defined the character and the spirit of this phenomenal, resilient Liverpool side this season.
They never know when they are beaten. No task fazes them. No goal is unachievable.
After Vincent Kompany's one in a million thunderbolt shattered the possibility of Man City dropping points against Leicester on Monday night, leaving Liverpool's title challenge—and season—hanging by a thread, it would have been very easy, understandable even, for morale to have been crushed.
The prospect of potentially finishing 2nd on 97 points, the highest runners-up total in history, and with Barcelona most likely needing just a single goal at Anfield to destroy Liverpool's faint Champions League hopes, what once promised to be a glorious end to a historic season was in danger of disintegrating into the most heartbreaking of finales.
And yet, the collective willpower, grit and determination of this group of players to purge the devastation of last season's final defeat in Kiev meant they were never going to roll over and lay out the red carpet for the finest footballer of all time and his comrades to cruise their way to the final without a fright.
Anfield atmosphere
The much-vaunted Anfield atmosphere is a cultural phenomenon, oft-dismissed by outsiders who claim the impact of the crowd—however defiant, or feral—cannot possibly define the events which occur on the pitch below.
Especially not with a side as experienced and packed with world-class, iconic figures as Barcelona.
Perhaps not. It's impossible to scientifically measure whether opposition players are directly affected by the atmosphere in any significant way.
Although, when you see the likes of Gerard Pique and Ivan Rakitic slicing balls out of play in a state of sheer panic, you do wonder.
More pertinently, though, is the effect it has on Liverpool players. The lift, that extra ten per cent of drive and belief it bestows upon them, is abundantly clear.
It happens time and time again, but never has this extraordinary dynamic presented itself in such raw, visceral passion.
From the first whistle, even before Origi opened the scoring seven minutes in, Liverpool were a team possessed. Barcelona were shaken, met by howls of derision with every moment they dared touch the ball.
Lionel Messi. Luis Suarez. Philippe Coutinho. Powerless and lost in the chaos which ensued, merely spectators in this bearpit of Liverpudlian red, unable to implement their genius in any way against 11 players bound by a collective strength and common desire so resolute that individual quality became almost an irrelevancy.
A night of heroes
Jordan Henderson was everywhere, setting the tone, tigerishly pressing, using the ball intelligently, leading his peers in the battle.
The epitome of defiance and fighting spirit which underpins the extraordinary mentality of this side. A performance to make a mockery of those who doubt his credentials, on the very biggest stage.
When Andy Robertson, so influential to Klopp's system, limped off injured at half-time after being kicked twice by Suarez, there was no need for panic.
James Milner, the veteran figure of this youthful side, slotted in seamlessly in his place, as he always does.
Gini Wijnaldum, off the bench to score twice in two minutes, sending the stadium into a state of unbridled delirium with one of the all-time great substitute cameos.
A player brought in as one of Klopp's first major signings, a core component of the story—and surely one of the finest, multi-faceted and most underappreciated midfielders in Europe.
Divock Origi, whose own journey is quite astonishing. Forgotten and dismissed by many after an unsuccessful loan spell, working his way back from the brink, scoring last-minute Merseyside derby winners and, here, the pinnacle of his career to-date, writing his name into Anfield folklore once more.
It's easy to forget the trajectory of Origi's career until he got injured against Everton in 2016, missing the Europa League final as a result.
He was Klopp's go-to man that season and has, against all the odds, become a pivotal figure once more, cementing his cult hero status.
The first goal and the last goal in the tie—the winner a strike of such awareness, instinct and technique—his name will be forever remembered for that Barcelona game.
And then there's Trent Alexander-Arnold. 20 years of age, reaching his second Champions League final with his boyhood club, a shining light on a field of players who have won everything there is to win.
It's his tenacity which creates Wijnaldum's first, and his astonishing piece of quick thinking and vision to catch the entire Barcelona defence off-guard for Origi's winner.
Anybody would be hard-pressed to think of a more influential performance from a right-back in recent history.
This is a young man living the hopes and dreams of a city, and turning those dreams into a reality.
In the contemporary football landscape increasingly defined by club wealth and eye-watering transfer fees, his emergence is a tangible reminder of that local connection between club and city that money cannot buy.
Klopp effect
Barcelona had their chances on the night, and both Virgil Van Dijk and Alisson demonstrated their transformative effect on Liverpool's rear-guard once more, but the result was no freak, no fluke of any kind.
This was Liverpool systematically demolishing one of the finest teams on the continent in the most controlled, but fiery, vibrant of manners.
When you see the entire squad and coaching staff lining up in front of the Kop and belting out 'You'll Never Walk Alone' in unison with a rapturous crowd, you see how much it means to them, this group of mostly 20-something professionals, and how this was a collective triumph and show of unity unlike any seen before.
Klopp has led Liverpool to the final of every European competition he has been in, winning every single two-legged knockout tie in his tenure thus far.
It's a quite astonishing record. He will feel this is now his time to finally succeed and deliver the silverware his joyous tenure richly deserves.
Tactically and psychologically, this was, without doubt, his greatest accomplishment at Liverpool so far. There is no manager in world football who harnesses emotion and energy within a ground to quite this effect.
The infamous 'doubters to believers' line from his very first press conference back in 2015 has never carried more meaning.
Any negativity and doubts have been purged in the most emphatic and unforgettable of fashions. Only believers are left.
On to Madrid. This is what it is to be alive.

The Srem District (Serbian: Сремски округ / Sremski okrug, pronounced [srɛ̂ːmskiː ôkruːɡ]) is one of seven administrative districts of the autonomous province of Vojvodina, Serbia. It lies in the geographical regions of Syrmia and Mačva. According to the 2011 census results, it has a population of 312,278 inhabitants. The administrative center is the city of Sremska Mitrovica.
In Serbian, the district is known as Sremski okrug (Сремски округ), in Croatian as Srijemski okrug, in Hungarian as Szerémségi Körzet, in Slovak as Sriemskí okres, in Rusyn as Srimski okruh (Сримски окрух), and in Romanian as Districtul Srem.
In Late antiquity, between the 3rd and 5th centuries, the city of Sirmium (present-day Sremska Mitrovica) was a capital of the Roman province of Pannonia Secunda. In the 6th century Sirmium was the capital of Byzantine Pannonia. In the 7th century, during Avar administration, the area was ruled by Bulgar local ruler Kuber, while in the 11th century, it was ruled by independent Bulgarian-Slavic duke Sermon. In the 11th century, it was part of the Byzantine Theme of Sirmium.
During the administration of the medieval Kingdom of Hungary (12th–16th century), the area was divided between Sirmiensis and Valkoensis counties. During Ottoman administration (16th–18th century), the area was initially a part of the vassal Ottoman duchy of Syrmia ruled by Serb duke Radoslav Čelnik and was subsequently included into the Sanjak of Syrmia. During Habsburg administration (18th-19th century), the area was divided between the Syrmia County and the Military Frontier. In the 1850s, northern parts of the area were part of the Novi Sad District, but were again included into Syrmia County after 1860. Since the abolishment of the Military Frontier in 1882, Syrmian parts of the Frontier were also included into Syrmia County.
During the royal Serb-Croat-Slovene (Yugoslav) administration (1918-1941), the area was part of the Syrmia County (1918-1922) and Syrmia Oblast (1922-1929). From 1929 to 1931, the area was divided between Danube Banovina in the north-east and Drina Banovina in the south-west, while from 1931 to 1939 the area was part of the Danube Banovina. From 1939 to 1941, north-western parts of the area were part of the Banovina of Croatia.
During the German-Croatian Axis occupation (1941-1944), the area was included into the Grand County of Vuka. Since 1944, the area was part of autonomous Yugoslav Vojvodina (which was part of new socialist Yugoslav Serbia since 1945). The present-day districts of Serbia (including Syrmia District) were defined by the Government of Serbia's Enactment of 29 January 1992.
According to the last official census done in 2011, the Srem District has 312,278 inhabitants.
The monasteries on the Fruška Gora mountain are the greatest cultural treasures of this region. They include the Grgeteg Monastery from 1471 and the Jazak Monastery from 1522.
The Krušedol Monastery is a true treasury of the Vojvodinan painting. It was founded in 1514 as an endowment of Orthodox bishop Maksim Branković and his mother Angelina.
In the Novo Hopovo Monastery, the church architecture and fresco paintings are particularly attractive. The exact time of its first construction is unknown, but 1765 is known as the year of its reconstruction.

10C EVO Audio Recording Options
The original generation of Sena 10C has, within the utility's basic options, the options to allow users to record only audio from the mic or then choose what else to record, such as intercom, phone, and music. Often I am riding with others, recording the group ride for fun, but they do not want their voice on the recording. That's great and fine, except that on the 10C EVO, everything is recorded all the time and there is no option to turn off intercom or music recording. Not having this in the settings, for users to decide, is a step backwards. It also could pose grave legal consequences to your users.
Can a future firmware upgrade include this into either the camera app or the utility app? For the 10C it is part of the utility app, but since the camera options are now in the camera app, having it there would be fine as well.

I came to the community to ask about this as well. No surprise to see that someone has brought this up and there are zero responses. It was bad enough before not being able to turn off my heavy breathing, coughs, clearing my throat, etc, but now any music or navigation is on recorded videos as well. Ridiculous.

Couldn't agree more with this. For me, recording other people is cool and makes for good videos. But vlogging and playing music over my voice with no control is downright dumb. Basically, I have to have no music on to vlog.
My Sena 10c was perfect with all the options it had minus the quality difference the 10c evo offered. Like all in all, This who experience with the 10c Evo has been a step backward.
I was hoping on getting the mesh added but instead got an upgraded camera with less control and no mesh. Time to go back to GoPro in the meanwhile.

Death count doubles: Red Cross retrieved 1,300+ fighters' bodies in Afghanistan in 2014
Reuters / Jose Miguel Gomez © Reuters
The year 2014 failed to see less bloodshed in Afghanistan, despite the majority of foreign forces ending their missions in the country. The ICRC said it removed twice as many dead bodies from the battlefields in 2014, as compared to the previous year.
According to a statement from the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the agency registered 1,372 deaths among combatants in Afghanistan last year, compared to 620 in 2013. This number does not include casualties among foreign mission staff, as they retrieve their casualties themselves.
In #Afghanistan, @ICRC witnessed last year a 37% increase in its transport of wounded combatants from the battlefield to health centers.
— Yves Daccord (@YDaccordICRC) February 9, 2015
The Committee expressed fear that the number of victims among the population this year could be even higher, due to numerous attacks and increasing difficulties in accessing medical help.
READ MORE: Afghan civilian casualties, injuries to reach 10,000 in 2014 – UN
According to the ICRC, there was an 18 percent decline of people asking for medical assistance, simply because people were unable to reach hospitals run by the charity.
"Persistent and fierce fighting, including serious violations of the rules of war, continue to have a deplorable impact on the Afghan population," Jean-Nicolas Marti, the ICRC head of delegation in Afghanistan, said in a statement on Monday. "For the victims of the conflict, the situation might deteriorate even further as the funding of humanitarian aid dwindles in the country."

Afghan forces have assumed full responsibility for national security following NATO's withdrawal from the country. They are continuing their fight against militants from the Taliban movement, who want to conquer the area.
The Taliban has intensified attacks in Aghanistan, including foreign targets in the capital. In January, a total of six foreign nationals were killed after the Taliban targeted an EU police vehicle in Kabul.
Although most foreign military troops have finished their missions in the country, over 10,000 foreign soldiers are still deployed in Afghanistan.
The Obama administration experienced somewhat difficult relations with current Afghan President Ashraf Ghani when the leader took office. His predecessor, Hamid Karzai, refused to sign a deal on US troops staying past 2014 after the general withdrawal of international forces. The US demanded that remaining troops be immune to local prosecution, while Karzai opposed the provision.

The civilian population is suffering from continuous militant attacks. The ICRC does not expect the situation to improve this year, but plans to continue its humanitarian activity in the country.
"While the volatile situation on the ground continues to present challenges to the safe delivery of assistance, we remain committed to responding to the humanitarian needs in Afghanistan, as we have done for the past three decades," Marti said.
The ICRC is a humanitarian organization based in Geneva, Switzerland. It has a mandate to protect victims of international and internal armed conflicts which include the war wounded, prisoners, refugees, civilians, and other non-combatants.

Russian Napoleon expert Oleg Sokolov shot lover 'in self‑defence'
Marc Bennetts, Moscow

Oleg Sokolov claimed that Anastasia Yeshchenko attacked him with a knifeOLGA MALTSEVA/GETTY IMAGES
A prominent Russian expert on Napoleon who admitted killing his lover and dumping her body parts in an icy river in St Petersburg claimed yesterday that he had acted in self-defence.
Oleg Sokolov, 63, was arrested after police in St Petersburg pulled him from the city's Moika River as he drunkenly tried to dispose of a rucksack containing his victim's severed arms.
When officers went to Sokolov's flat they discovered the mutilated body and head of his former student, Anastasia Yeshchenko, 24, and a bloodstained saw. The couple had lived together since 2014.
Sokolov is a senior lecturer at St Petersburg University and the author of several books about Napoleon. He was awarded France's Légion d'honneur in 2003 and is a former member of the…

PASSHE Budget Plan Met With Controversy
Photo Courtesy: http://www.passhe.edu/inside/PA/logo/Pages/default.aspx
By: Megan Talley
SHIPPENSBURG - The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education's redesign plan has been in the works since Fall of 2016. Earlier this month, all faculty and staff were send new directives as part of Phase 2, which sent waves of concern throughout Shippensburg University.
With PASSHE needing to cut their budget to juggle the challenge of declining enrollment, it meant temporary (adjunct) professors could lose their jobs and class sizes can increase. Faculty expressed these issues can lead to cut programs, lack of sections for popular classes, and lack of student to professor relationships.
Chancellor Dan Greenstein opened the floor Thursday morning in Old Main Chapel to listen to concerns placed from these new directives. Faculty expressed disdain, panic, and concern over this plan in how it'll effect the future students of this university.
Greenstein wants to make it clear that the students have always been top priority, and that at this time, they need to take action for a deficit that's affected them for far too long. He said, "But I'm going back to the student, we have a problem. It's not a forever problem. It's clear that the across the board kind of spread it around, and I'm not being critical past administrations. But a non strategic approach is exhausting your reserves and that's not good for years [to come]."
In response, President Carter said, "We have got to be able to invest in the future of our university and our students, that is my commitment. And my other commitment is to do that with you as we continue to do it."
PASSHE hopes to finish this phase of the budget later this year, and to have it complete by 2021.
