Starting 12 March, despite heavy rain and cold conditions, groups of retired workers from the Tieshu Textile Group have managed to block the entrance to the factory. According to security staff at the factory all production has now stopped.
From 12 March onwards, every day some 20 to 30 retired workers are taking turns sitting outside the Tieshu Textile factory entrance blocking its access. Armed only with banners, the retired workers are braving the rain to remain in front of the entrance from 6:00 AM in the morning until 1:00 AM the following day. Banners strung across the factory gates say "Protest Against Corruption" and "Out with the Woodworm" [woodworm is a popular Chinese metaphor for corruption]. According to an eyewitness contacted by CLB, at the peak of the picketing, over 300 workers were gathered outside the factory entrance.
The factory, which reportedly employees about 7,000 people and has over 3,000 retired workers, is on the brink of bankruptcy. It has been ordered to declare itself bankrupt by the government and is currently working out bankruptcy and layoff procedures.
The retired workers have been protesting about the loss of their pensions and about extensive corruption since 2 January 2003 when they stopped traffic for about 2 and a half hours on the local rail line;
* One of the retired workers' principal complaints is that they have not been paid any pension funds from the factory despite an earlier agreement that all retired workers would receive about half their pension from government funds and the remaining one third or half from factory pension funds.
*Workers are also calling on the government to investigate their allegations of corruption by officials at the factory which, they believe, has directly led to its imminent bankruptcy.
There are more than 2000 retirees at the factory who are affected by the pension cuts – most of the workers currently employed by the factory have elderly relatives affected by this crisis. One worker told CLB that in his household, where both his parents are retirees from the factory, the family will lose 400 – 500 Yuan each month – about one third of its monthly income.
CLB learned from a worker at the factory that although the retired workers have been asking for a renewed dialogue with the factory management there has not been any response from the management since the protests resumed on 12 March.
China Labour Bulletin spoke with a staff member at the factory trade union who told us – despite the above-mentioned confirmation by the factory's security section - that the protests were a "rumour". Yesterday, on 13 March, Mr. Ni, the president of the factory trade union, again told CLB that the events described above "did not happen". When CLB informed him that workers and others had described in detail the events of the past 3 days, the president declined to comment.
When we reminded him that the trade union was, according to Chinese law, there to represent the workers, the president said: "no comment".
CLB also contacted the Suizhou City branch of the ACFTU, where an official informed us that there had been a visit to the factory on or around 2 February by officials from the Hubei Provincial ACFTU, but up until now they had not received any information about the visit or follow up. CLB subsequently interviewed a senior official at the local ACFTU branch. (See here for the transcript. )
In addition to the dire financial straits of the retired workers, those currently employed at the factory face similar problems. Many of the current workers and those recently retired (from about 1999 onwards) were forced, through the reform of the factory, to buy shares in their workplace - shares which they will now lose.
The factory is currently calculating how much compensation they will provide to each worker once the bankruptcy is declared. However, it is unlikely that this compensation will be adequate.
Following the mass protests in January 2003, the local Public Security Bureau declared the workers actions to be "illegal" and a "serious disruption of public order". They asked for the leaders of the protests to turn themselves in and at the same time began a door to door man-hunt within the factory housing complex for the alleged leaders. It is not known if anyone has been detained for their part in the protest. The renewal of the Tieshu workers protests reveals both the seriousness of the situation and the strength of the workers demands.
Tieshu workers proclaimed in their banners;
Slogan banners hanging on the left-hand side of the factory gate (in red characters)
"The factory has gone bust and the workers are angry and sad.
Corruption is covered up and no one is going after the guilty officials
Calls for Justice ring out on all sides, but whom is the law actually protecting?"
Slogan banners hanging on the right-hand side of the factory gate (in yellow characters):
"Ten years ago the Tieshu Factory was flourishing – like a tree with solid roots.
We never guessed then that it was all an illusion – or that we'd be sacrificial victims.
Kindly tell the people of Suizhou: Who are these criminals who have destroyed our livelihood?".

Q: Saga transient exceptions logged as error I'm on Masstransit 6.2.
I'm using Marten for saga storage and serilog for logging.
My saga often gets database concurrency exceptions but can be recovered using retry/re-delivery.
However these exceptions are logged as "SAGA:" errors along with the "R-RETRY" warnings.
I found this old issue https://github.com/MassTransit/MassTransit/issues/626, apparently this has been addressed? Is there anything can be done to downgrade these errors or stop logging them?

A: Confirmed this is fixed in 6.2.2.

It is often assumed that spending time by the coast leads to better health and wellbeing, but there is strikingly little evidence regarding specific effects or mechanisms to support such a view. We analysed small-area census data for the population of England, which indicate that good health is more prevalent the closer one lives to the coast. We also found that, consistent with similar analyses of greenspace accessibility, the positive effects of coastal proximity may be greater amongst more socio-economically deprived communities. We hypothesise that these effects may be due to opportunities for stress reduction and increased physical activity.

Q: DataTables.Net To Give Sum For 7 Columns From reading the DataTables.net wiki I found how to add a Total to one column, column 4 in the syntax below, so I am sure someone with extensive JQuery experience could easily adapt to show a total for columns 6 - 12 for me.
This is the base set-up to add a total for column 4 - what would be altered to add a total for an additional column?
https://datatables.net/examples/advanced_init/footer_callback.html
    $(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').DataTable( {
        "footerCallback": function ( row, data, start, end, display ) {
            var api = this.api(), data;

            // Remove the formatting to get integer data for summation
            var intVal = function ( i ) {
                return typeof i === 'string' ?
                    i.replace(/[\$,]/g, '')*1 :
                    typeof i === 'number' ?
                        i : 0;
            };

            // Total over all pages
            total = api
                .column( 4 )
                .data()
                .reduce( function (a, b) {
                    return intVal(a) + intVal(b);
                }, 0 );

            // Total over this page
            pageTotal = api
                .column( 4, { page: 'current'} )
                .data()
                .reduce( function (a, b) {
                    return intVal(a) + intVal(b);
                }, 0 );

            // Update footer
            $( api.column( 4 ).footer() ).html(
                '$'+pageTotal +' ( $'+ total +' total)'
            );
        }
    } );
} );

A: Some quick refactoring allows for a callable function with any column number.  You will notice that I:

*

*wrapped what used to work for column 4 into a function with one
parameter representing the column to sum up colNum.

*I then replaced all occurrences to 4 within the new function to colNum
and

*proceeded to call the newly created function after it's
definition.

$(document).ready(function() {
  $('#example').DataTable({
    "footerCallback": function(row, data, start, end, display) {
      var api = this.api(),
        data;

      // Remove the formatting to get integer data for summation
      var intVal = function(i) {
        return typeof i === 'string' ?
          i.replace(/[\$,]/g, '') * 1 :
          typeof i === 'number' ?
          i : 0;
      };
      var totalColumn = function(colNum) {
        // Total over all pages
        total = api
          .column(colNum)
          .data()
          .reduce(function(a, b) {
            return intVal(a) + intVal(b);
          }, 0);

        // Total over this page
        pageTotal = api
          .column(colNum, {
            page: 'current'
          })
          .data()
          .reduce(function(a, b) {
            return intVal(a) + intVal(b);
          }, 0);

        // Update footer
        $(api.column(colNum).footer()).html(
          '$' + pageTotal + ' ( $' + total + ' total)'

23 December 2019 Monday 10:25
this Is one of the fairs of old parts most veteran and diverse of which are held in Ifema. From 14 to 18 December, Auction Antik Passion (which, by the way, will order his name to be more attractive for all audiences) opens its doors to dressing up for Christmas. "More than 25,000 unique pieces of all shapes and sizes, from 80 firms participating, come to inspire a broader public", explains the director of the show, Ana Rodriguez. The fair wants to have an impact this year on the concept of sustainability. "In this age of consumerism we are avoiding the purchase irresponsible of new parts, with everything generated by the production chain," he says.
Rodriguez details the developments of the show that aims to seduce "lovers of the art, exclusive and unique pieces". Also, to the new generations. To be a fair multi-product "with pieces for all pockets, and with an entrance at popular prices (between 6.5 and 8 euros) the organizers try to broaden the range of visitors. In fact, it has enabled an area for children where they can draw and decorate a big Christmas tree," says the director. It coincides in dates with the closing of the COP 25, but also with two events for children and youth, the Circus, Ice and Juvenalia.
Whenever you purchase art, purchase history. "Who doesn't seem nice to give away a story, a second life? For a long time the culture led us to throw them away, but in times when everything is homogeneous, the houses they can add something special and different. We give a second life to pieces made a long time ago," says Rodriguez, who likes to speak of "circular economy".
To Auction, the education of taste through pieces with decades of seniority is one of its hallmarks of identity. "Here are started by many collectors. It is the prelude to raise your inspiration. In Auction you can purchase an incredible watch, a collection of brooches, great price good. In addition, purchased parts are unique, original, such as a bag that is 70 years old and is in perfect condition, a piece that no one is going to carry the same; very exclusive." But not only addons, also billiard balls, golf clubs, binoculars, typewriters and maps. Classic furniture, such as seats and consoles, for example, and lithographs and porcelains are other examples.
there Are many galleries that repeat. Argucho & Co and Agurcho Iruretagoyena (with a store in san Sebastian and Pamplona) is a classic of Feriarte and Auction. Terese Oyarbide defines this christmas fair as "a beautiful event and a fun, focused to find very special treats for all the pockets; this is key, there are always things that are very wearable for every occasion."
May be also the catalogues of the gallery Miquel Alzueta, which brings pieces of folk of Great Britain; furniture of the EIGHTEENTH century and contemporary paintings. Or of The Courtyard Antiques, a business of 1992 that sells european furniture. The artist Francisco Retamero will bring an original work in oil on canvas, lithographs, serigraphs and works in digital printing. The gallery owner, Paloma Martínez Oven will offer antiques and vintage pieces, jewelry, collectibles, porcelain, oriental and european, glass, painting and decorative arts.
The gallery of Pedro Miguel, specializing in works on paper, acrylics, oils and mixed media, abstraction, new figuration and Realism, will bring several works in these formats. The family company Pemberley Antiques will have several proposals to prepare a table; from cutlery, ceramics and silver. And another classic, Ulysse Art Deco, which sells Online a selection of refurbished parts. "We have 20 years of mixing styles", explains José Luis Cespedes, Third, director of Ulysse. "We show customers how they can get things right. And they are surprised".
Taste and history
"The exhibitor does not attend as if it were a flea market, for that reason, there are other spaces in the great that can respond to those needs. Everything that comes are objects with much taste and with a history, with a special value," explains the director of the fair. And so, "it is possible to acquire from a plastic work of the NINETEENTH century to a bracelet of platinum with 33 carats of brillantería art deco. The intention also is to help people to prepare their Christmas gifts, the decoration of your table or your house... it Will avoid headaches and they were full of ideas."
The exclusivity does not imply high prices. "Here, you can find things from very few euros and amazing works of art," says Terese Oyarbide. "There are antiques of all types; we carry a collection of jewellery of the EIGHTEENTH and NINETEENTH century. It is a fair very different, for example, to Bow and Feriarte, focused to an audience with a greater purchasing power."
The reason that next year the fair invests his name and renamed Antik Passion Almoneda is to position itself as an event that would attract the same audience that appreciates high fashion and the fashion pieces old. "Everyone wants to have something that makes your life different, different. Now it all seems, and any small piece invites you to be exclusive. Is more, in the fair there are fashionable also. Add-ons that you can add a touch simple and chic to any look that is everyday". The next edition of the fair, which will be held in the spring, from 18 to 26 April, coincides with its 30th anniversary.

One of my not very good at all co-workers came to me while I was manning the phones at my library. She handed me an envelope. It was an open piece of mail from an insurance company. The envelope said it was very important.
My not very good at all co-worker said "This was found in a book."
"What would you like me to do with it?" I asked.
"Merlion (Another not very good at all co-worker) found it and gave it to me. I thought you could call the person it belongs to."
"I don't usually call people." I said. "But I'll take care of it."
I looked in the envelope. It was a bit of meaningless information from four and a half months ago. I threw it in the recycling.
I guess that's why so many people from all over the library route their problems over to me. I'm always willing to take on these extraordinarily complex issues.


After last week's cloudy and rainy weather, I was determined to get out of the house on Sunday. The cloudy skies made for perfect hiking weather so we headed to Sunset Beach Elementary for the Ehukai Pillbox hike. The hike roundtrip to the first pillbox is about 1.7 miles, kid friendly, and of moderate difficulty.
When we got there, a super nice parking attendant that was there for church services directed us to the trailhead and warned us that that the trail was pretty muddy. He pointed to some walking sticks left out by the trailhead and told my son to grab one. With a stick in his hand, Cade was over the moon! As soon as he saw the mud, he couldn't help but exclaim that he loved this adventure.
For the first half mile, the trail is pretty steep and the mud just makes it worse because it's so slippery. It was probably not the best idea since we all slipped once during the hike, but we made it to the top with the help of installed steps and ropes. We were rewarded with gorgeous views of the North Shore. Coming back down in the mud was a little harder so I don't recommend this hike with little ones after the rain.
On this hike, I realized hiking with kids is very different from hiking with adults. While I made sure to bring water, sunscreen, bug spray, and a change of clothes and shoes, I totally mom-failed and forgot to bring a small trash bag on the hike and was stuck with the kids dirty tissues and wipes. Lesson learned!
Even though the mud made it dangerous, we still had a lot of fun and would definitely do this hike again when it's not muddy.

Safe Truck Loading
Home » Atlanta » Atlanta Truck Accident Lawyer » Safe Truck Loading
A tractor-trailer can pose a significant danger if its cargo is overweight or unevenly distributed. The truck can lose control and careen into other vehicles. For this reason there are laws in place that limit truck loading weights to a safe limit. Since 1997, tractor-trailer accident lawyer Terrence R. Bethune has been fighting for Atlanta residents injured by negligent trucking companies. If you were hurt in a truck wreck, a knowledgeable attorney can get to the bottom of the situation and try to hold commercial drivers or companies accountable for their careless actions.
Protect Your Rights By Filing a Negligence Lawsuit
Georgia law protects drivers, passengers, and other people harmed by the negligence of a truck driver or trucking company. In many accident cases, the victim files the case against the company that owns the vehicle and employs the trucker. If the cause of the wreck was cargo loaded negligently by a third party, that third party may be named a defendant as well.
To have a viable case, the victim must be prepared to prove four elements. First, the defendant in the case must have owed the injured person a duty of care. In Georgia, most people are expected to behave in a way that avoids an unreasonable risk of harm to others. This is called the reasonable-person standard, and it applies to truck drivers, trucking companies, and any third parties in the industry, such as those that might load trailers for transport.
This duty can be breached — the second element — by unreasonably exposing others to a hazardous situation. For instance, if a trucking company exceeds federal standards that limit the weight of a tractor-trailer to 80,000 pounds, it would likely constitute a breach of duty. Cargo that is not distributed property in the trailer can cause a truck to be unstable. This likely would also fall short of the appropriate standard.
Moreover, the victim must prove causation, which has two parts. The first is called causation in fact, which exists if the injuries would have been avoided had the defendant not breached the duty of care. The second part, legal causation, is established if the harm was a foreseeable consequence of the defendant's behavior. Causation, in fact, is a question for the jury to determine, and legal causation is addressed by the court.
The final stage of a negligence claim consists of identifying quantifiable damages that can be compensated. These can reimburse the victim for expenses associated with the accident, including lost wages and past and future medical bills. They may also compensate for physical pain and suffering, emotional distress, or other injuries that are more subjective.

Truck accident cases are often challenging to litigate. In the aftermath of the collision, an experienced lawyer can investigate the causes of what happened to determine who holds liability. If you were hurt near Atlanta by a negligent driver or company, truck wreck attorney Terrence R. Bethune can help you seek the compensation you deserve.

The 2019 SMARK MADNESS tournament has come to a close as you've decided which foreign object or weapon is the best in the history of professional wrestling!
With that, you've declared the winner of this year's Smark Madness Tournament and the best professional wrestling foreign object in history to be the Steel Chair!!
With only a 1-vote difference, in Round 4 Table (51.7%) beat Triple H's Sledgehammer to get into the final round.
The biggest gap was in Round 3 with Steel Chair (93.5%) over Steel Stairs / Ring Steps.
Very close to that were two matches in Round 1, both at 92.3% with Steel Chair beating Big Boss Man's Nightstick and Ladder beating TV Camera.
The only real surprise to me was that Thumbtacks beat both Al Snow's Head and Undertaker's Urn.

How Regulations Are Reshaping Digital Companies
Sean McDonald

Most of the ways that we protect people, especially with law, hinge on enforcement by a sovereign country. And, when the protection is against abuse in commercial spaces, most law is aimed at punishing individual companies. Regulating digital markets effectively, given their tendency to globalize and unbundle companies, will require more focus on international harmonization and supply chain accountability.
There's a concept in technology design called service-oriented architecture, where each core function of a system is separated into a dedicated, standalone unit. All of the components of that system are then connected through an application programming interface (API). So, service-oriented architecture, as an approach, has designers finding or building the individual components of each core system function, and then connecting them using APIs. By focusing each component on its core function, designers can optimize their code without the dependencies or vulnerabilities that often come from highly connected systems. The risk, of course, is that when taken to scale, focusing on core functions externalizes the costs of maintenance. So, for example, every time you update one component, every component that connects to it has to adapt, often with very little project management, notification or support. Essentially, service-oriented architecture unbundles what would be a larger system into lots of component pieces, which optimizes each unit but can cause lots of side effects as it scales.
Technology companies are increasingly deploying the service-oriented architecture approach, not just to their tools, but to the way they structure their companies. As sovereigns begin to legislate around data rights, market regulations and security authorities, companies are beginning to rethink their own corporate architecture. Increasingly, companies are disaggregating individual components of a company in order to optimize for beneficial regulations; one might call this service-oriented incorporation.
Rethinking Industrial Policy for the Data-driven Economy
CIGI Paper No. 192
The earliest and most obvious example of this dynamic comes from taxation. Companies often choose where to incorporate their business, based on a country's law and whether or not it is beneficial. As companies expand, that often means restructuring their corporate structure in order to minimize the company's global tax liability. For example, Ireland gave technology companies tax rates so favourable that the European Union is suing. A significant number of technology companies moved their European headquarters to Ireland to take advantage of the rates. But taxes are just the tip of the iceberg — nearly every type of market regulation creates an opportunity for service-oriented incorporation. And, while Europe has inarguably led the globe in harmonization with its "one-stop shop" for digital regulation — the General Data Protection Regulation — even that agreement is starting to fray as data protection authorities diverge on approach.
The counterargument to consumer protection — at least in digital regulation — is surveillance and sovereign security powers. Australia, for example, recently passed a law that enables them to compel companies to give them a back door to their end-to-end encryption, functionally introducing a huge security vulnerability. This is different from what's being done in countries actively banning end-to-end encryption, like China, Russia and Turkey — the law doesn't ban encrypted services, but it gives the Government of Australia the power to force the creation of a vulnerability. As a result, a number of privacy and security-oriented firms are threatening to leave Australia, or trying to rearchitect themselves in order to limit their exposure to Australian authority.
The most prominent corporate example of service-oriented incorporation, of course, is Alphabet, Google's parent company. Google created Alphabet to avoid antitrust scrutiny. Google had learned its lesson from United States v. Microsoft Corp. and the ensuing decades of anti-competitive regulatory scrutiny. In 2001, the United States had brought an antitrust case against Microsoft, claiming that Microsoft's Windows was a monopoly, and that bundling its browser, Internet Explorer, into the operating system constituted anti-competitive practice. In the end, the parties settled — but that settlement required Microsoft to expose its APIs to third-party developers and to appoint an independent oversight body, with full access to the company's records, systems and code.
Google, similar to Microsoft's dominance in operating systems, had achieved comparable dominance in search — and a growing breadth of acquisitions in everything from health care to infrastructure. Google's creation of Alphabet, and its subsequent corporate spin-out of a range of companies, was a direct attempt to manage its regulatory threat surface: it didn't functionally partition its backend or dispossess common investors, all of which raises significant questions about whether the reorganization had any real effect on its competition practices. Google's transition to Alphabet wasn't a win for consumer protection or antitrust, but it was a clear example of companies reorganizing their corporate infrastructure to adapt to new regulatory threats.
Reclaiming Data Trusts
Whether for necessity or profit-maximization — if they can be separated — technology companies are taking service-oriented incorporation approaches to limit the impact of the regulation of digital spaces. While Alphabet's creation is perhaps the largest attempt at service-oriented incorporation, the same tactics are often used to limit corporate accountability. From Cambridge Analytica to Blackwater, there's plenty of evidence that it's easier to register a new company than to reinvent a market.
While it's easy to ascribe this trend to optimization or greed, it's also worth recognizing that many companies are simply trying to manage the liability inherent in a rapidly changing, poorly harmonized global regulatory context. Sovereigns are taking a clearly self-interested approach, often unilaterally passing unharmonized laws that have transformative impacts on operations, product design and employee safety. The lack of global agreement on basic regulatory principles makes the stakes high enough that even company CEOs are calling for regulation.
The global policy dialogue seems to be waking up. The Group of Twenty's meeting this summer will focus on, in part, global rules for data governance. Existing governance mechanisms are not up to the task of governing data; new institutions are needed as much as, if not more than, new rules.
In the meantime, digital governance policy itself should refocus in two key ways: it needs to shift from national legislation to building international harmonization, and it needs to find ways to embed public interest accountability into supply chains and global markets. As it stands, the global policy landscape isn't designed for the dynamism of digital spaces or the kind of nuance that data governance requires. As a result, most decisions about public data governance are made by sovereigns, in regulations or bilateral treaties, without any participation from or exposure to the range of perspectives and interests affected.
Similarly, the majority of data governance decisions are made through private relationships and sealed in opaque contracts, whether the parties are individuals, companies, non-profits or governments. The most meaningful and fastest way to begin addressing the failures of data governance is not for public bodies to declare top-down rules, but to give individuals and markets the tools they can use to hold companies responsible themselves.
In many ways, we're still in the early stages of data governance and its attendant policies. We're far enough along in corporate governance and regulation, though, to know how regulatory disagreements between companies and countries can escalate into world-changing abuse. If we're serious about building data governance, we'll need to make sure that it works the way technology does — through global, unbundled supply chains.

Judge to PragerU: You Do Not Have a Free Speech Claim Against YouTube
Tech bias, real or alleged, does not violate free speech rights.
Billy Binion | 11.4.2019 4:15 PM
(Screenshot, YouTube)
Prager University has suffered a setback in its suit against Google.
The conservative outfit took the company to court earlier this year, arguing YouTube—a Google subsidiary—violated PragerU's free speech rights by putting approximately 20 percent of its videos on "restricted" mode and limiting its advertising. But in a tentative ruling submitted before oral arguments on October 25, Santa Clara Superior Court Judge Brian C. Walsh rejected this claim. If those arguments didn't sway him, this ruling will stand.
"Prager contends that 'YouTube is the cyber equivalent of a town square where citizens exchange ideas on matters of public interest' and that defendants have opened their platform to the public by advertising its use for this purpose," Walsh writes. "However, Prager does not allege that it has been denied access to the core YouTube service."
Indeed, Prager University, headed by conservative radio host Dennis Prager, has amassed more than 2.36 million followers on YouTube and has produced more than 803 videos, which are hosted on the platform free of charge.
PragerU likely had a better shot of success in California than it would have had elsewhere in the country. The state expanded the scope of free speech rights in Robins v. Pruneyard Shopping Center (1979), which treated a privately held shopping center as a public forum. But even that doesn't apply here, concludes Walsh, since the restricted service filters out mature content for the 1.5 percent of users who specifically choose not to see such material. "Limiting content is the very purpose of this service, and defendants do not give content creators unrestricted access to it or suggest that they will do so," writes Walsh. "The service exists to permit users to avoid the more open experience of the core YouTube service."
YouTube's advertising service, he continues, is similarly "restricted to meet the preferences of advertisers."
Prager's First Amendment claims come amid the nonprofit's repeated assertion that Google is biased against conservative groups. But as Robert Winterton of the trade association NetChoice points out, the tech giant restricts videos by left-leaning organizations too—and often more than Prager's 20 percent. Fifty-four percent of The Daily Show's videos are hidden, as is 71 percent of content from The Young Turks.
Even the History Channel clocks in higher at 24 percent.
It's certainly within the realm of possibility that Google's content moderators are biased to a degree. But even then, is that a reason to bring in the government?
"Prager frivolously argues that the Constitution guarantees his right to post videos on YouTube without restrictions based on the company's (admittedly vague) notions of propriety," writes Reason's Jacob Sullum. "Where does that leave him when people with different priorities frivolously argue that the Constitution guarantees, say, a right to taxpayer-subsidized abortions?"
PragerU also contends that YouTube's actions violate Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which protects platforms from facing certain liabilities for posts by third-party users. Much confusion continues to proliferate around the law, as high-profile political figures imply that tech companies cannot claim Section 230's protections if they remove any legal content. But that is patently false: In order to make the internet a more palatable environment, the law specifically allows platforms to scrub content that they deem unsuitable.
"Here, defendants' creation of a 'Restricted Mode' to allow sensitive users to voluntarily choose a more limited experience of the YouTube service is exactly the type of self-regulation that Congress sought to encourage in enacting section 230," says Walsh.
PragerU has filed a separate suit in federal court. It still awaits a decision from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, and it too rests on free speech claims—ones that are even more likely to lose under federal law.

PragerU definitely filed the wrong lawsuit here.
I'm stunned that no one has filed breach-of-contract lawsuits against YouTube or other Big Tech firms.
Maybe because there is no breach of contract?
If money is changing hands, then I'm guessing that's going to be a high enough bar for a contract. Money changes hands based on the "Terms of Service"…which is a type of contract.
Once you're in the Youtube "Partner" program and your videos are "monetized" that's a contract.
Square = Circle
It's definitely a contract, but was Prager unaware of the rules about filtering content?
Oh come now. It was a grift. So he could promote his videos and play the victim of big bad Evil Tech.
AER1972
Isn't that the point. Google has ultimate control of 90% of the search engines on the internet and with Youtube has an extrordinary control over this media. By allowing Google to decide what we can see and what we can't we have lost the censorship war. I am astonished that Libertarians are happily running around praising this move. More proof that there are no real Libertarians left and that Reason is a sham run by progressive sponge heads.
BigT
Ever hear of private property?
It is a core, maybe THE core, libertarian value.
Wearenotperfect
The core libertarian principle is the non-aggression principle. The interpretation of the NAP does require a theory of property. However, different theories of property are logically consistent with the NAP and many disagreements between libertarians come down to different theories of property.
By allowing Google to decide what we can see and what we can't
You seem to be confusing Google with the state.
there are no real Libertarians left
Except you – don't forget you.
Metazoan
Is there something in the contract that would actually prohibit this? Genuinely asking, and too lazy to try to find the ToS.
I don't know, but I think it's an interesting legal angle to try, without trying to turn this issue into a First Amendment Issue, which I agree, isn't.
Youtube has a partner program. In this partner program, Youtube will share ad revenue with their creators. Youtube has created a platform in which creators now earn a living, and sometimes pay a sizable staff based on the revenues received from said revenue program. Youtube reserves the right to demonetize your videos based a "Terms of Service". Youtube has demonetized creators' videos even though Youtube has publicly declared that said creator's video(s) didn't violate their terms of service. That seems like grounds for a lawsuit.
It also seems like Youtube is treading on thin legal ground if they quietly de-list or de-prioritize your videos in searches thus greatly diminishing or eliminating your ad revenue all together.
Another facet of the argument is Youtuber Law's angle with an FTC complaint over collusion– that's a different issue but one that's equally important.
The main thing that makes YouTube a superior video experience is that it's really, really good at finding what you want based not on your literal terms, but based on what people who used similar terms ended up watching. Similarly, it digs up "coming up next" videos not strictly based on what you're looking at, but based on what people like you ended up watching.
In short, the reason YouTube is so popular is because it's really, really good at picking the right "winners" and "losers".
If this kind of lawsuit were to succeed, then YouTube would no longer be able to pick winners and losers (after all, if you get sued for deciding that someone is a loser, you can't pick a winner either).
As such, I have the highest of doubts that there's anything in the contracts that would allow a lawsuit over their curation algorithms. Once you enter the program, you are entitled to a share of ad revenue. But you are not entitled to favorable search algorithms.
The winners and losers they pick and we are left to accept that. My God what happened to the libertarian mind set? If there was a competitive source to Google and Youtube maybe but there isn't. So lemmings like the bloggers on this page will be happy with whatever they are fed by big tech. I have no doubt that the majority here support China in its oppression of Hong Kong. No doubt that most here beleive the Constitution is a living document to be altered amended whenever we stumble over something uncomfortable like freedom of speech.
What's your libertarian solution?
To whine endlessly?
If there was a competitive source to Google and Youtube maybe but there isn't.
So go start one, motherfucker. You don't have a right to a social media platform. That sounds like positive rights language to me. You remind me of people that argue for universal healthcare on the basis of healthcare being a human right.
Hurrrrrrrr just convince all of the people locked to Google with exclusivity contracts to violate their contracts. Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr just go get a billion users without any form of advertising since Google has a monopoly on online advertising and will restrain trade by disallowing you from using their ad network to promote your competing product. Derpa hurrr durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
The winners and losers they pick and we are left to accept that.
You could instead argue for government regulation of a private for-profit industry.
Youtube has demonetized creators' videos even though Youtube has publicly declared that said creator's video(s) didn't violate their terms of service.
This certainly does seem fishy, though IANAL.
While this is a shitty thing to do, absent a ToS promise not to do this, why would this be thin legal ground?
Most jurisdictions have a default good faith and fair dealing clause applied to contracts. If the action wasn't to further the end of the contract (maximize revenue) but to screw the other guy there'd be a good case.
PS. I don't know what YouTube's contracts have said over the years, if there's a choice of law provision, or if that would win either.
Allen Garvin
Prager tried to claim Google violated the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The court dealt with that pretty simply: nothing 'Prager does not and cannot state a claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in light of the express provisions of YouTube's Terms of Service, which
provide that "YouTube reserves the right to remove Content without prior notice" and which also allow YouTube to "discontinue any aspect of the Service at any time."'
'Similarly, YouTube's AdSense Terms of Service reserve the right "to refuse or limit your access to the Services."'
Prager accepted the terms of service, which give all the cards to Youtube to do pretty much anything they want.
NashTiger
YouTube says videos about the 10 Commandments – " Thou shalt not kill" is violent content.
But allows other actual violent content from other users.
Not a 1st Amendment issue – except that Binion hints at that CA courts had already said these types of cases Were 1A cases when preferred defendants brought them
Prager is lying to you. Youtube provides recommended age-restriction content for a variety of reasons, and does not communicate the particular reasons to video owners. Prager has no idea why their 10 commandment video got that classification. And it doesn't matter for the vast majority of youtube viewers–only people who have expressly opted into their 1-size-fits-all "age restricted" content plan.
Actually, lying cunt slime, YouTube's restrictions apply universally across the site. You have to opt out, not opt in. A restricted video is also denied placement in search results within the YouTube website.
As to the reason that the video was restricted, PragerU never made any representation as to why, only speculated on the possible cause since the video contains absolutely no content of a violent nature that would warrant a restriction under YouTube's guidelines.
Want to lie some more?
"Here, defendants' creation of a 'Restricted Mode' to allow sensitive users to voluntarily choose a more limited experience of the YouTube service is exactly the type of self-regulation that Congress sought to encourage in enacting section 230," says Walsh.
I like how YouTube puts the whole country on Restricted mode when they don't like a political candidate. *cough*Tulsi*cough*
icannotread
People keep talking about some Yang person that is running. Supposedly he is Asian and is good at math, but that sounds racist to me.
Why don't we just drop 230 already? Everything it is providing isn't needed aside from 3rd party sales from what I gather. If we grow to rely on a single source for info why in the world would it go the way we want it to? Why do we expect things we like to happen?
Everyone should just get their own websites and eventually Youtube will get desperate and devolve into vids of Will Smith sitting naked on mouse traps until his contract ends.
Why don't we just drop 230 already?
i suspect this would make platforms far more restrictive.
^ This.
Dropping 230 would mean only those with big pockets to afford large legal departments would be capable of hosting online forums.
So, exactly like it is right now.
>>to allow sensitive users to voluntarily choose a more limited experience

What can the courts do with a private platform whose owners have been hectored and threatened by government officials for permitting First Amendment-protected content, if these platforms then start implementing restrictive policies which suspiciously mirror the concerns expressed by the government officials threatening them?
It's a "private company making private decisions" – the private decision to avoid trouble with the government.
I've been asking this question for a couple of years no. I don't see an explicit first amendment angle here, but I do see something that should be raising alarm bells. When Zuckerberg's Terms of Service is curiously changed after a summit meeting with Angela Merkel…
Even if the courts were inclined to do anything about that situation, it sounds like it would need to be the platform suing the government.
A third party suing the platform won't debate that point, and a third party suing the federal government over the coercion is unlikely to have standing to get past step 1.
And I suspect that suing the government over the vague threats of Congresspeople will not work very well.
Libertarians are totally cool with fascism now. That's what it is when the government exercises its control under the auspices of technocratic management of """""private""""" industry.
I don't see any real long term solution to this besides some sort of decentralized or federated social media network. I don't know if any that exist will be up to the challenge, but I am decently confident that it will be done if this continues.
How about whiny snowflakes stop asking for imaginary perfect worlds–and all the equally asinine enablers stop pretending they can have them?
So, never.
I mean, yeah, that would be great. But assuming that's not gonna happen, I see it as more practical to build our own systems.
Basically. Conservatives (who are the "whiny snowflakes asking for imaginary perfect worlds" in this case) have had basically no luck in setting up "conservative" alternatives to YouTube or FaceBook. Conservapedia ("conservative" wikipedia) is still around, but even conservatives don't use it.
But conservatives are much better at whining that liberals aren't making them fancy toys then they are at making fancy toys themselves.
Conservatives (who are the "whiny snowflakes asking for imaginary perfect worlds" in this case) have had basically no luck in setting up "conservative" alternatives to YouTube or FaceBook.
Because no one will host their websites, register their domain names, let them access their advertising networks, or obtain banking services. Do you know what that's called? Restraint of trade. When Standard Oil controlled 60% of their market they were broken up by anti-trust regulators at the insistence of progressives like you. Google has a 90% market share in web advertising and Facebook has 80% of the remaining 10%. But then no one expects ideological consistency from SJW fascists.
The problem I see with that is due to the lack of moderation it will become a place to buy crack and humans and therefore using it will be made against the law. The lobbyists will make it happen due to the massive amount of piracy it will contain and that will be the real reason, but it will be blamed on the dude selling humans.
If all users are hosting the data or even parts of it a simple tweak to a law can render it illegal.
Plus, since it isn't able to be monetized it really won't take off because there won't be millions spent around making it addictive. I've heard that Gab and Minds are boring as shit and even if you decentralize that it still won't grab peoples' attention.
Well, federated social media groups can certainly moderate (such as removing illegal content).
As for making it addictive, that could be a good point. Not sure.
The idea I have heard bandied around is to create portable user profiles. Imagine that you sign in on a platform with a profile that can understand your social network connections independent of any particular platform. That way platforms would compete based on the user experience in using their platform and not try to keep you locked in to a platform based on the network that you have created on that platform that can't be ported to other platforms.
I hate linking to this abomination of a website (it's ok when you have all the adblock, etc. running), but…

Could you say that Dennis Prager didn't build that or would that offend him in a way in which we'll have to listen to him bitch for the next decade or so when Obama last used the term?

You really haven't the foggiest idea what that phrase referred to or why it rubbed people the wrong way, do you?
This whole thing has been a massive benefit to Prager U and having a lawsuit like this is cheaper than paying for the amount of advertisement he's been given. Throw in that he's "fighting the unjust youtube on censorship issues" and people instantly take sides and now Prager U has more supporters than ever.
He's a pretty smart dude.

YouTube ain't the government, and is not governed by the First Amendment. The fact that it and other social media sites are the de facto public square does not make them, in fact, the public square.
Ghost on the Highway
I'b be interested in what YouTube is restricting. Everthing I have ever watched on Prager is mild.
That's because YouTube wouldn't let you see their all-nude episode.
AlmightyJB
Doesn't seem like it would be that difficult to create a website that allows users to upload video content.
Oh, it isn't. It's also incredibly expensive and if people don't like what they see they attack the advertisers. Youtube knows how easy, and expensive it is because they operate at a massive loss thus completely cornering the market.
Good article click
Thanks for the post click
"Prager contends that 'YouTube is the cyber equivalent of a town square where citizens exchange ideas on matters of public interest' and that defendants have opened their platform to the public by advertising its use for this purpose"
AM Radio and Fox, the Bernie Madoff of media, News are also the equivalent of a town square – so I look forward to be given full access to those town squares.

This Is How Relationships Change After You Move In Together, & Wow, This Is Telling
by Rachel Shatto
Ivo De Bruijn/Stocksy
Deciding to move in with your partner can be a big, intimidating decision. It's one that you make together, thoughtfully and carefully — or you can just do what I did, and basically move in together mere weeks after meeting without really planning it whatsoever! I'm not saying that's the right way to do it, but so far, it's worked for me. In some ways, it may actually be harder for couples who've been together for a while to decide to co-habitate, because you may be worried about how your relationship changes after you move in together.
Well, take it from someone who's taken that leap of faith: While it can definitely be challenging at times, the upsides of living with your SO make it all totally worth it. (Except maybe having to share a bathroom, that's pretty much always a bummer.) But do be aware that things are inevitably going to change in your relationship — including the way you feel about one another, they way you interact, and how you envision the future. That may sound scary, but most of those changes can honestly be pretty awesome. Here's how you can expect your relationship to change when you decide so share an address.
Everything is now a group decision.
Are you used to making unilateral decisions about things, both big and small? Well, that's all changing now. Every decision you make is by consensus, whether that's to buy a new couch, or what you're having for dinner. (Especially the latter, be prepared to discuss that a lot.) You didn't just agree to share a mailbox —you agreed to share your life, so you have to be willing to actually do that, which means including your partner in the choices you make.
Staying in is the best thing ever now.
Remember when weekends meant hitting the clubs? Or going out to see one another? Well, now you don't have to go anywhere to get that quality time — plus you can do it in pajamas. That may sound like it's not amazing (especially if you love going out for drinks), but let me assure you, snuggling up on the couch under a blanket together and marathoning Netflix is the absolute best. Just be warned: Sneaking and watching ahead on Netflix is now considered cheating.
Oh, you want privacy? That's hilarious.
While living with your love brings plenty of amazing benefits (I mentioned getting to hang out in PJs already, right?), there are some downsides. Namely privacy; you don't have it anymore. So all that gross stuff you used to be able to hide from one another? Can't hide it anymore! If you're someone who really needs your personal space, you're going to want to talk to your partner about it ASAP. Make sure you do it before you call the U-Haul.
You'll have brand new boundaries to define.
Before you moved in, most of your boundary conversations had to do with, ahem, bedroom activities. But now that the two of you share literally every room, there are tons of lifestyle boundaries that you will need to define. Whether these discussions are about who's in charge of what chores, or why leaving dishes in the sink may drive you to homicide, be ready to talk a lot. You're merging your lives, and you need to find out how to make those lives fit together with minimal friction.
What you fight about changes.
Speaking of friction, the things you fight about are going to change. In the past, your arguments were probably mostly relational — things like how you talk, or act toward one another. When you live together, you might have brand new things to fight about.
Don't get me wrong, you'll fight about some of the same things you fought about before — but now you'll also fight about things like house work, having guests over, and of course, the biggie, money. It's the worst, and the struggle is real, so figure out as much as you can about your budget, and be totally honest about your finances before you pack up and move in. Chances are, there's no avoiding fights about money, but you can definitely minimize them if you don't go in blindly.
You will become so much more intimate.
Sure, fighting about money and not having privacy can be a downer, but remember when I said the good outweighs the bad? That's because when you live together, you and your partner's dynamic changes, and you may grow closer than before you started a life together. There's a kind of intimacy that can only form when you co-habitate. It's the beginning of becoming family, not just a couple, an it's pretty amazing.
Sometimes it can be hard to live with someone, and you may even learn that they aren't the right fit for you. But when they are the right one, nothing beats living with the person you love.

News Briefs: April 2019

Attempted kidnapping in Kenmore
Kenmore police are on high alert after a twelve-year-old girl reported that a man attempted to kidnap her on March 21.
Sgt. Ryan Abbott, spokesperson for the Kenmore Police Department reported that the victim was walking toward her bus stop that morning when she noticed a man following her at the block of 6900 NE 182nd St.
He asked her if she would like to go to the Kirkland park with him, and said that they could take the bus together there. After she responded "no," he crossed the street. She continued walking and thought he had left.
Shortly after that, near a fenced empty lot in the 7000 block of NE 182nd St., the man allegedly grabbed her by her backpack. The girl turned around, kicked him in the leg and ran.
The suspect is described as being around 40 years old, of medium build, Caucasian, with a scruffy beard and salt-and-pepper hair.
Kenmore police have reported that there is no confirmed link between this suspect and another man who was recently arrested for grabbing a boy by the arm momentarily in the Kirkland area.
Kenmore police have asked for people to contact them at (206)-296-3311 if they see anything suspicious.
Boeing under fire due to recent plane crashes
On March 10, Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 crashed minutes after take off. The impact killed all 157 people on board.
Five months earlier on Oct 29, 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 crashed minutes after takeoff from Jakarta, Indonesia. The impact killed all 189 passengers.
Both fatal flights shared the same model: the new Boeing 737 Max 8. Given the sudden nature of the crashes, the flights' black boxes need to be examined. Black boxes are recorders in every plane's cockpit that record all sound in the cockpit. Evidence from both flights' black box recordings suggest similar issues in the plane systems being the possible cause of the crashes.
Boeing has been ambiguous about whether or not they believe the Max 8 system is the culprit behind the crashes. In response to the March crash, they made it clear they would update the Max 8 system.
"The rigor and thoroughness of the design and testing that went into the Max give us complete confidence that the changes we're making will address any of these accidents," said Mike Sinnett, Boeing's vice president for product strategy.
More than 30 relatives of those who died on the Lion Air Flight have started lawsuits against Boeing, citing the alleged defective design as an undeniable safety concern.
Dozens of wealthy parents implicated in college bribery
On March, prosecution against 50 people nationwide began due to involvement in the largest ever college admissions scandal.
Since the case began, those arrested have included dozens of affluent parents, two SAT/ACT administrators, an exam proctor, a college administrator, nine coaches from elite schools as well as the CEO of The Key, William Rick Singer.
The Key was marketed as a college prep organization. Since the news broke, however, Singer has admitted to going to great lengths to get his clients' children into prestigious schools – the ways he did this includes bribing college administrators, lying to school coaches and faking students' test scores.
Singer was also CEO of the nonprofit The Key Worldwide Foundation, and its stated mission was to be a charity dedicated to helping underprivileged individuals with college. Singer used the nonprofit to label the parents' payments as charitable donations rather than bribe money. This allowed the parents to make the bribery money tax deductible.
In some cases, parents allegedly took part in the bribing of coaches and athletic officials. A few students applying for athletic consideration had no prior experience with the sport, and their athletic history was fabricated.
To date, no students have been prosecuted.

LOL! So that's how you are, eh, Miss Aoife?
R-Rawr? This is an….actual manga-ka working with you….a-and….it's also in Japanese?!!
Ah….yea…so you now you know. Don't worry Aoife I do actually have a cameo planned for you in the series, which I think you might enjoy. Won't be this year's book but I'm hoping for next year.
I'm going to be in a real manga?!! Really?!!! 😀 😀 What am I going to be?!! What will I wear?!! Do I get to smooch anyone?!!
Here's a layout of the idea.
….yea, I was pretty sure you would.
@Kessy & Azreal: It's my hope to avoid the Summer hiatus too. As you know, I always feel guilty doing it, and this year I'm really geared up to make an exciting next edition to both Bata Neart and Back Office. Especially with Bata Neart's new direction I'm now really excited to getting back to more world-building and driving bring the main-plot back in.
During the run up I'm going to also start trying build up Aoife's Guide. I'm going to try and make that project interactive too where I'll be asking what you'd all like to know first / the most about. There will be sections such as "Locations", "Character Bios" and anything else anyone would really like to know.
@Ask Aoife: Why don't you go give Laura the Illustrious a hug? I think she could use one.
Wait, actually, if we send Aoife to Laura's palace, we may not get her back. For a variety of reasons. That'd be really bad. On second thought, forget I said anything, Aoife.
Its funny I'm sitting here at work racking my brain trying to think of a good funny question to ask an imaginary 17 year old comic book character. Sighh ha ha I need to get out more lol no offence Aoife ha ha.

The Supply Chain Management Institute's (SCMi) Partnership Model has delivered multi-million dollar benefits for supply chain partners.
Develop a Strategy and an Action Plan to manage the relationship and achieve each firm's drivers.
A partnership is a tailored business relationship based on mutual trust, openness, shared risk and shared rewards that results in business performance greater than would be achieved by the two firms working together in the absence of partnership.
The Partnership Model should be used to structure relationships with key customers or suppliers where there is a history of working together and both sides view the relationship as having the potential for partnership.
Building and sustaining tailored business relationships with key customers and suppliers can lead to a competitive advantage. However, partnerships are challenging to manage.
Too often, managers enter into a relationship with another member of the supply chain without either side clearly identifying their expectations. This is the primary reason why these relationships fail to meet the goals of one or both sides. With this in mind, SCMi developed a model that can be used to identify the business reasons for building more closeness in a relationship (these are called 'drivers' of the partnership). SCMi have conducted more than 100 partnership meetings with major corporations around the world.
Teleconference: Two weeks before your workshop, a pre-workshop teleconference is conducted to explain how the workshop will be delivered. This teleconference will assist with ensuring the workshop is efficient, productive and achieves objectives.
Reading: Each team will need to read the following article in preparation for the workshop: click here for Harvard Business Review article "We're in this together".
Key Drivers: Led by two facilitators, each management team works separately with a facilitator to identify their firm's drivers of the partnership. Drivers are the compelling reasons for two firms to partner, the expected benefits from expanding a relationship, and they can be summarised in four categories: asset/cost efficiencies, customer service improvements, marketing advantage and profit growth/stability. The stronger the drivers, the more chance of a successful partnership.
Partnership Type: After both sides have agreed on the drivers, the next step is to identify the appropriate type of partnership by considering the strength of the drivers and how well the two firm's mesh. This includes examining: the environmental factors which increase the likelihood of partnership success; partnership components – the managerial controllable elements of a partnership; type of partnership (e.g. Type I, Type II, Type III etc.).
Output: The output of the workshop is a Strategy and an Action Plan for managing the relationship and achieving each firm's drivers.
The Partnership Workshop is about an agreed evolution in the relationship – one that is negotiated, transparent and accountable. If you get it right, you can co-create value and both sides win.
Typically the workshop is funded equally by the two firms.

Feds banning oil and gas activities in marine protected areas
By Marco Vigliotti. Published on Apr 25, 2019 12:31pm

The Trudeau government is banning oil and gas work, mining, dumping and bottom trawling — an industrial fishing technique that indiscriminately scrapes the bottom of the ocean surface — in designated marine protected areas.
Fisheries and Oceans Minister Jonathan Wilkinson announced the new protection standards on Thursday, while also naming a 12,000 square kilometre stretch of ocean off the southern coast of Newfoundland and Labrador the site of the country's next — and largest — marine protected area. It will be known as the Laurentian Channel Marine Protected Area.
The new protection standards stem from the recommendations of a government convened panel, which called on Ottawa to adopt the International Union for the Conservation of Nature's standards and guidelines for all marine protected areas.
A spokesperson for Minister Wilkinson confirmed to iPolitics that the new protection standards will apply going forward, while existing MPAs in which these activities are currently authorized will be "reassessed as part of their regular management review cycle."
"We will work with our partners and stakeholders to consider adopting the new standards within the MPA," Jocelyn Lubczuk said in a message to iPolitics.

The Department of Fisheries and Oceans says the designation for the Laurentian Channel will help conserve "sensitive" sea coral and strengthen protections for endangered North Atlantic right whales. According to the Canadian chapter of the World Wildlife Foundation, the area is part of a summer feeding area for migratory ocean mammals, including humpback, minke and right whales, and is used by porbeagle sharks, the threatened Northern wolfish and black dogfish.
The designation will also increase Canada's protected ocean spaces to 8.27 per cent, bringing the government closer to meeting the international marine conservation target of 10 per cent by 2020.
"The new standards for marine conservation we are announcing today will provide for high levels of environmental protection in a manner that is sensitive to important economic actors such as fish harvesters," Wilkinson said in a statement.

In Ottawa's proposed regulations for the LCMPA from 2017, oil and gas development was permitted in 80 per cent of the area, prompting a public pressure campaign from WWF-Canada. The group says over thousands of emails were sent by supporters to government officials to probit these industrial activities from the LCMPA and any other marine protected area.
"Over the last couple of years, concerned citizens sent thousands of emails to the office of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which is now resulting in stronger protections for Canada's wildlife," WWF president and CEO Megan Leslie said in a statement.
"This is proof that when we speak up for wildlife, we can make a difference. This important first step in protecting critical habitats will give marine species safe havens that are free of seismic blasting and drilling."
West Coast Environmental Law and the David Suzuki Foundation also applauded the government's decision to prohibit industrial activities in marine protected areas.

•Sextuplets of Adeboye and Ajibola Taiwo.
After 17 years of marriage with hope, a Nigerian couple, Adeboye and Ajibola Taiwo, has been blessed with sextuplets.
The children were delivered at Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Centre.
According to the university, the babies weighed between 1 pound, 10 ounces and 2 pounds, 15 ounces.
All six are doing well and continue to thrive in the Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU neonatal intensive care unit.
In November 2016, the couple were overcome with joy when they saw four heartbeats at their first ultrasound.
When they arrived VCU Medical Centre two months later, they discovered they were expecting sextuplets.
A 40-man medical team which included experts from maternal-fetal medicine, labour and delivery, nursing, anaesthesia, respiratory, neonatal medicine, social work, nutrition, cardiology and chaplain services, helped to deliver the babies in the morning of May 11, 2017.
Adeboye said everyone performed beyond his expectations from the time they arrived at VCU Medical Centre.

I am looking for an apartment as close as possible, or walking distance, to Mid Michigan Community College in Mt. Pleasant. I need this for the winter semester of the 2015-2016 school year. I am a quiet person and I would rather read than go to a party. I am also a hard worker. I want to finish my degree. I am going into nursing. I currently do not have a job, however I am looking and I have money saved up. I would like to have roommates that want to finish their college degree, or are looking for a good career. You can contact me at anytime at my Mid Michigan email at khebert1@midmich.edu. I will try to get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you.


This past year, the cities of Altamonte Springs, Lake Mary, Longwood, Maitland and Sanford launched a first-of-its-kind, inter-city pilot offering discounted Uber trips to travel between the five cities. This project ended on July 5, 2018.
"By creating innovative projects like this, we can better serve our residents through direct incentives and find viable, cost-effective mobility solutions for Central Florida," said Frank Martz, Altamonte Springs City Manager. "By thinking outside the box and going that extra mile for our communities, we have developed a solid model that can act as a framework for future transportation models around the nation.
The five cities are currently working together to develop a more robust and open ended discount program for residents which features multiple transportation options from transportation network companies that arranges rides via an app.
We hope to present this innovative program before our City Commissions this fall.
