Q: Calling extended class function from parent class I'm new to OO PHP. Got some questions.
class a {
   protected function a1() {
      ...
   }
}

class b extends a {
   public function b1() {
      ...
   }
}

Let's say we have 2 classes like explained above. I'm calling b's method like example below
class a {
   var $b;
   function __construct()
   {
      $b = new b();
   }
   protected function a1() {
      $b->b1();
    }
}

class b extends a {
   public function b1() {
      ...
   }
}

I know that, it's possible to call parent class'es method from extended class, but I wonder if reverse way is possible? I mean, calling extended classes method from inside parent class (in this case, class b's method from class a) without declaring in __contruct, simply by $this->b();?

A: use Magic methods of PHP __call or __callStatic
Reference

A: Yes, you can call a method in the extending class.
<?php
class a
{
    public function a1 ()
    {
        $this->b1();
    }

    protected function b1()
    {
        echo 'This is in the a class
';
    }
}

class b extends a
{
    protected function b1()
    {
        echo 'This is in the b class
';
    }
}

class c extends a
{
    protected function b1()
    {
        echo 'This is in the c class
';
    }
}

$a = new a();
$a->a1();

$b = new b();
$b->a1();

$c = new c();
$c->a1();
?>

This will result in:

This is in the a class
  This is in the b class
  This is in the c class

La Neta Cocina y Lounge Brings Mexico's Aesthetics to Las Vegas
La Neta Cocina Lounge. Mike Kirschbaum
Just like Tulum! Hospitality veteran Ryan Labbe opened his La Neta Cocina y Lounge eatery in Downtown Summerlin earlier this summer, aiming to bring the tropical aesthetics of Mexico to Las Vegas.
The expansive dining establishment — located across from Las Vegas Ballpark — features 5,336 square feet of space and was designed specially to highlight natural elements through its decorative use of warm, earthy tones. The dining hall is framed by a trellis of deteriorated bricks and wooden beams upon entrance.
Once patrons arrive at the La Neta space, they are greeted by plush booths, falling vines and grand chandeliers descending from the ceiling. The walls are decorated with custom abstract artwork from Los Angeles-based artist Defer, which accompany vintage hand-carved mirrors on the walls.
While mosaic-stained glass murals create standout accent walls, the restaurant makes a statement thanks to the 10-foot living sugar tree in the center of the room, which was designed to invite nature into patrons' dining experiences.

The lounge space is also decorated with woven rattan hanging chairs, tapestries hung up on the ceiling, living art installations and custom stained-glass murals and warm colors that transport guests to the beaches of the Yucatán Peninsula without leaving the cosmopolitan venue.
Staying true to the restaurant's nature theme, the La Neta lounge has a terrarium-style bar that is chock full of succulents and breathable glass.
The eatery also aims to bring a modern approach to traditional Mexican fare with creative renditions of classic dishes and flavors.
La Neta Cocina Y Lounge is located at 1770 Festival Plaza Drive, Suite 200 in Las Vegas and is open Sundays through Thursdays between 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. PT and Fridays and Saturdays between 5:00 p.m. and 11:00 p.m. PT. The lounge area is open daily from 3:00 p.m. PT until closing.

We all know how important it is to wash your face at the end of the day before you go to sleep, but sometimes that just seems like too much effort.
Luckily, makeup removal wipes are handy, little things when you need assistance with quick removal of all that daily grime from your face. Wipes are also necessary if you've had a late night out and you're too tired to go through your 3-step facial cleansing routine.
When experts nag about how important it is to remove your makeup before you go to bed, they do have a point. Just think of all the things you come in contact with on a daily basis. Do you really want them just sitting on your skin and land on your pillow at night? Your skin can't breathe and regenerate under a day's worth of makeup, sunscreen, bacteria, dirt, pollution and oil. This layer will seriously clog your pores, cause acne breakouts and collagen breakdown, which causes fine lines over time.
As you'll probably know, people have different skin types and therefore different types of wipes are suitable for different users. So you may want to spend an extra moment at the store to choose appropriate wipes just for your skin type. This is mostly related to the ingredients. Like you would also choose your facial cleansing lotion or moisturizer based on your skin type.
The interesting thing with wipes is that they can have textures. These can be patterns on the wipe surface for better cleansing features but also very significant textures like exfoliating dots that help remove dead skin cells.
Facial wipes are helpful in dissolving makeup, including waterproof mascara. Make the most of your facial wipe by using one corner for one eye and the opposite corner for the other eye. Then you have the rest of the wipe to remove any facial makeup. Doing it this way will reduce the amount of dissolved black mascara and eyeliner smudging across your face. After wiping the majority of makeup away, a rinse with water will remove any last traces of cosmetics and dirt. For a more profound cleansing and skin treatment you can also do an exfoliation with an n exfoliating wipe or pad that will remove dead skin cells and simulate skin cell regeneration. These single use exfoliating wipes and pads are quick and handy in use but they also secure optimal hygiene for your skin care routines. Reusable sponges or brushes will collect a lot of bacteria in time. You would not want to rub these back on your skin, would you?
If you've ever noticed going through your makeup wipes that the last few wipes tend to be a little moister than the others, it's because the lotion used in wet wipes seeps through to the bottom. To get the most out of your makeup wipes and prevent them from drying out, close the pack directly after taking out the wipe. Also store the pack upside down so the lotion is able to soak through, back to wipes on the top.
Wipes can come in very handy for banishing excess oil when out and about or removing sweat after a workout. Just remember to apply sunscreen after using a wipe if you're planning to spend more time outdoors during the sunny hours. While we do appreciate a thorough clean for our faces, sometimes facial wipes are more convenient and the most effective way of removing the daily grime. Just always remember to pick the most suitable makeup removal wipes for your skin type and rinse thoroughly afterwards.
Makeup removal wipes are convenient in your daily life, as well as travelling and on-the-go. There's no better feeling knowing that you've got a squeaky clean face while you're sleeping so don't slip into bad habits and make sure your facial skin gets the care it deserves.


Underwood & Underwood, Copyright Claimant. [Silent protest parade in New York City against the East St. Louis riots, 1917]. New York, ca. 1917. Photograph. Retrieved from the Library of Congress, https://www.loc.gov/item/95517074/.
Amidst the patriotic fervor whipped up by President Woodrow Wilson's declaration of war against Germany was the continuing racial violence and racism against African Americans. At the beginning of July, a bloody riot in East St. Louis, Illinois left an entire black neighborhood decimated and countless residents murdered, maimed, and left homeless. In response to the lack of justice for this incident (as well as others in Memphis, TN and Waco, TX) the NAACP organized a silent march down Fifth Avenue.
10,000 African Americans gathered on July 28, 1917, dressed in white and carrying banners of protest or American flags, and marched down New York's most famous thoroughfare.
See more rare photographs from Yale's Beinecke Library, which staged an exhibit on the march to mark its 100th anniversary.

Keeping You Covered
New Mexico Mutual steps up to the challenge of implementing a viable worker's compensation system, providing companies with innovative solutions in the midst of a business boom
Quinn Lopez, VP and General Counsel, New Mexico Mutual
by	Joe Dyton
When it comes to workers' compensation, businesses want to make sure that employees who are injured on the job are taken care of. But at the same time, who's making sure that the businesses are taken care of, too?
That's where companies like New Mexico Mutual come in.
New Mexico Mutual was set up in 1991 by the New Mexico State Legislature as a mutual insurance company to assure a competitive market for workers' compensation coverage to New Mexico businesses of all sizes and industries. Since inception, New Mexico Mutual has become part of a solution to stabilize premium rates, improve workplace safety, and establish affordable coverage and risk management services for businesses and key critical industries operating in New Mexico and surrounding states.
The company also gathers data on the New Mexico market to guide lawmakers and regulators in maintaining a compliant and fair workers' compensation system, regardless of market cycles or challenges to maintain and attract an environment for business investment.
"A big factor to our success is that we operate in a state with a small and challenging economy," New Mexico Mutual vice president and general counsel Quinn Lopez says.
In his role, Lopez safeguards the company by assuring its best interests as both attorney and business partner. He's responsible for the legal, compliance, and corporate governance profile of the company to support enterprise risk management and strategic business goals.
"It is exciting and rewarding to work for New Mexico Mutual in this capacity," Lopez says. "My position allows me to add value on a myriad of issues and see immediate results in helping all the levels and departments of the company further operational excellence, financial integrity, and compliance to achieve strategic business goals."
New Mexico Mutual has carved out a strong position for itself in the industry since its inception. It has more than 30 percent of the voluntary insurance market in the state and retains 87.9 percent of its policyholders. New Mexico Mutual has also maintained a combined ratio of 100.2 percent and experienced favorable investment income and surplus growth in a challenging market.
"Our enterprise risk-management discipline and investment in the right talent and technology guide our strategy," Lopez says. "We have had to maintain this focus and leverage it to our competitive advantage to respond to market and business needs."
Good breaks and smart responsiveness have also a played a part in the company's history. The recent boom in the oil and gas industry gave the company a chance for significant premium growth over the last two years. However, this type of growth came with an increased claim risk exposure that led New Mexico Mutual to join oil and gas businesses in stepping up to manage risks and improve safety. New Mexico Mutual also developed medical case management and other cost-containment strategies to help oil and gas businesses mitigate premium rate increases while improving medical rehabilitative and return-to-work outcomes for injured workers.
Limited personnel and resources do not hold Lopez and his team back. They innovate and work with the company's business analysis department to use data analytic tools to continuously audit and mitigate fraud, as well as outside legal and internal audit partners who are aligned with New Mexico Mutual's goals and values. This type of forward thinking helps Quinn's team evolve and ensure that New Mexico Mutual remains in the right direction and meets challenges head-on.
"The future is bright," Lopez says. "New Mexico Mutual was established as a bold, innovative solution to a significant challenge that companies in New Mexico faced in 1991. We continue to succeed through bold innovation to overcome any challenge that customers or industries face by leveraging the right talent and technology."

Q: Test Coverage Help - Insert Custom Object But No Test Coverage Hopefully this will be an easy one and I am just missing something small.
I have a method queries for a custom object. My test class isn't seeing the custom object I have created in the test class. Am I out of order? Why would my test class not be able to query for the test record I inserted? There are only two filters in the where clause:
List<Credit_Review__c> creditReviewList = [select Opportunity__c, Broker_Preferred_Email__c, ...., Status__c from Credit_Review__c WHERE Id =: controllerValue AND Status__c = 'Approved' ORDER BY LastModifiedDate DESC LIMIT 1];
public static testmethod void test2(){
    Id recordType = schema.SObjectType.Opportunity.getRecordTypeInfosByName().get('Broker WC Oppty').getRecordTypeId();

    RecordType rt = [SELECT Id, DeveloperName FROM RecordType WHERE Id =:recordType];

    Contact c = new Contact(LastName = 'TestLn');
    insert c;

    Account a = new Account(Name='Testing Account', Legal_Name__c = 'Test');
    insert a;

    Opportunity oppty = new Opportunity(
            name='wendy test',
            StageName = 'Identified',
            CloseDate=System.today(),
            Type = 'NEW',
            RecordType = rt,
            AccountId=a.id);
    insert oppty;
    Credit_Review__c cr = new Credit_Review__c(Status__c = 'In Progress', Opportunity__c = oppty.Id, Broker_Preferred_Email__c = 'otest@test.com');
    insert cr;

    BrokerApprovalEmailTemplate controller = new BrokerApprovalEmailTemplate();
    Test.StartTest();
    controller.controllerValue = oppty.Id;
    controller.setControllerValue(oppty.Id);
    controller.getControllerValue();
    system.debug('test controller value:: ' + controller.getControllerValue());
    Credit_Review__c cc = new Credit_Review__c(Id=cr.Id, Status__c = 'Approved');
    update cc;
    controller.getLoadData();
    System.assertEquals(controller.getControllerValue(), oppty.Id);
}

A: As @DavidReed states - avoid seeAlldata=true - it can only lead to deployment issues sometime later in life; perhaps in some other sandbox
I highly recommend following the testmethod pattern popularized by Martin Fowler (SpecificationByExample)
@IsTest
private static void givenXXXWhenYYYThenZZZ {
  // Given data setup for testcase
  ... mock data
  // Given Controller constructed
  .. construct controller
  // Given inputs to controller from VF page
  .. set controller properties
  // When action method AAA invoked
  ... invoke action method
  // Then verify ZZZ
  ... verify database updated and/or
      action method updates public properties B,C, ... and/or
      VF page messages as expected
}

then repeat pattern for next test case
I find this pattern extremely useful to write by starting with the comments, then filling in the details.  It also helps clarify where you can write common methods that multiple testmethods can leverage for repeatable setup, execution, or verify fragments.

A: I was able to get the test to pass by using (SeeAllData=True) and query for the appropriate Credit_Review__c record which I typically don't like to use but in this case it was unable to pass because automation and my mock test data were not inserting in the proper order.

Flamenco dancer who worked with Picasso incarcerated in Epsom asylum
Picasso sketched Felix el Loco dancing with Nemtchinova during rehearsals in 1919
By Alice Foster
A brilliant flamenco dancer who worked with Diaghilev and Picasso and reportedly died in Spain, was actually incarcerated in an asylum in Epsom from 1919.
Nearly a century later, a Spanish musician wants to create a memorial to Felix el Loco, or Felix the Mad, who died at Long Grove Hospital in the Epsom hospital cluster.
Antonio Hernandez, who has researched the dancer's tragic life for a decade, said he believes his unmarked grave is in an offshoot of Horton Cemetery near the former psychiatric hospital.
Felix Garcia, from Seville, collaborated with Russian impresario Sergei Diaghilev and artist Pablo Picasso on an avant-garde ballet, the Three-Cornered Hat, which premiered in London in 1919.
It is believed that Felix lost his mind when he discovered from posters that he would no longer be dancing the lead role and he fled to St Martin-in-the-Fields in Trafalgar Square.
He was reportedly found dancing naked on the altar at night and arrested. Felix was diagnosed with schizophrenia and committed to Long Grove Hospital where he died two decades later in 1941.
His life story was the subject of an opera, El Loco, performed by the Spanish Ballet Nacional in 2004.
Mr Hernandez said: "Diaghilev declared Felix dead in Spain but the truth is that Felix was "imprisoned" in a mental hospital with no chances of coming back to Spain."
Mr Hernandez, who teaches music in southeast Spain, has been on many research trips to Surrey and has been to the place where Felix was buried.
He said: "At that time the Long Grove Hospital was partially demolished and a new residential project was under construction. I marked the site on my map.
"I would like to promote and sponsor a memorial stone on the site where Felix was buried."
Mr Hernandez also wants to make contact with anyone who knows about Felix's life and the conditions at Long Grove Hospital at the time.
He said: "I have tried many times unsuccessfully to keep in touch with the descendants of the doctors or workers in order to gather or compile any memories about the only Spanish inmate in this mental institution."
Violin prodigy Josef Hassid, notorious criminal twin Ronnie Kray and Titanic survivor George Pelham were also once patients at Long Grove Hospital, which closed in 1992. Both Hassid and Pelham died there.
Antonio Hernandez is appealing for information on Felix's life in Epsom
David Brooks, museum assistant at Bourne Hall in Ewell, questioned whether Leonide Massine, who worked on the the Three-Cornered Hat and was the one who played the lead part in it, consolidated his reputation as Europe's leading choreographer on the back of Felix's work.
Mr Brooks said: "There are many unanswered questions to his story. Was he really insane or was that what people were led to believe? Why did Diaghilev declare him dead in Spain?"
David Brooks, museum assistant at Bourne Hall in Ewell
The Epsom Guardian is running a campaign to get dignity for the thousands of people who died in the hospital cluster and lie in unmarked graves in the abandoned Horton Cemetery where human remains surfaced in 2012.
Anyone with information about the hospital and Felix Garcia should email Mr Hernandez at antonioparamus@yahoo.es.

NH Governor's Emergency Order #11 (2020)
Signed: March 24, 2020
Effective: March 24, 2020
Chapter: N/A
Governor Sununu of New Hampshire issued a temporary order authorizing Notaries to perform remote online notarizations (RON). The temporary authorization has expired.
All New Hampshire Notaries Public
Defines "commissioned", "electronic", "electronic record", "electronic signature", "information", "law", "notarization", "notarial officer", "person", "record", "requirement", "simultaneously", "stamp or seal of office" and "state".
Authorizes a notarial officer commissioned under the laws of New Hampshire to perform a notarization for an individual not in the physical presence of the notary officer if certain minimum standards are met.
Requires the individual and the notarial officer to communicate simultaneously by sight and sound through an electronic device or process at the time of the notarization.
Requires the notarial officer to reasonably identify the individual by one or more of the following: (a) personal knowledge of the individual; (b) at least two different types of processes or services by which a third person provides a means to verify the identity of the individual through a review of public or private data sources; or (c) by oath or affirmation of a credible witness who is in the physical presence of either the notarial officer or the individual or is able to communicate with the notarial officer and the individual simultaneously by sight and sound through an electronic device or process at the time of the notarization, if the credible witness has personal knowledge of the individual and has been reasonably identified by the notarial officer under (a) or (b) above.
Requires the notarial officer to create an audio and visual recording of the performance of the notarization either directly or through an agent.
Requires the notarial officer to retain the recording as a notarial record during the term of the notarial officer's office, including renewals thereof, unless a law of New Hampshire requires a different period of retention, and if any laws of the state govern the content, retention, security, use, effect, and disclosure of such recording and any information contained in it such recording shall be subject to those laws.
Requires that when performing a notarial act for an individual physically located outside the geographic boundaries of the New Hampshire the record must be intended for filing with or relate to a matter before a court, governmental entity, public official, or other entity subject to the jurisdiction of the State of New Hampshire; or involve property located in the territorial jurisdiction of New Hampshire or a transaction substantially connected to New Hampshire.
Requires that when performing a notarial act for an individual physically located outside the geographic boundaries of New Hampshire the notarial officer must have no actual knowledge that the act of making the statement or signing the record is prohibited by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the individual is physically located.
Clarifies that if a New Hampshire law requires an individual to appear personally before or be in the physical presence of a notarial officer at the time of a notarization that requirement is be satisfied if the individual and the notarial officer are not in the physical presence of each other but can communicate simultaneously by sight and sound through an electronic device or process at the time of the notarization.
Clarifies that nothing in the executive order requires a notarial officer commissioned under the laws of New Hampshire to perform a notarization (a) with respect to an electronic record; (b) for an individual not in the physical presence of the notarial officer; or (c) using a technology that the notarial officer has not selected.
Provides that once signed, the requesting person shall mail the signed copy of the documents to the notarial officer for certification and execution with the notarial officer's signature and the official stamp or seal.
Clarifies that the official date and time of the notarization shall be the date and time when the notarial officer witnesses the signature via the electronic devices that provide the audio/video presence.
Clarifies that the validity and recognition of a notarization under the executive order shall not prevent an aggrieved person from seeking to invalidate a record or transaction that is the subject of a notarization or from seeking other remedies based on State or Federal law other than the executive order for any reason not addressed in the order, including on the basis (a) that a person did not, with present intent to authenticate or adopt a record, execute or adopt on the record a tangible symbol; or attach to or logically associate with the record an electronic signature; (b) that an individual was incompetent, lacked authority or capacity to execute the record, or did not knowingly and voluntarily execute a record; or (c) of fraud, forgery, mistake, misrepresentation, impersonation, duress, undue influence, or other invalidating cause.
Clarifies that nothing in the executive order affects or supersede a New Hampshire law or rule governing, authorizing, or prohibiting the practice of law.
Provides that the failure of a notarial officer to meet a requirement specified in the executive order shall not invalidate or impair the recognition of a notarization performed by the notarial officer under the authority granted in the executive order.
Provides that the executive order shall not be construed to create a public or private cause of action or remedy.
Provides that the executive order shall not affect the validity of a notarization performed before its effective date, and further provides that the validity and recognition of a notarization performed pursuant to the terms of the executive order and during the period of its authority, shall not be affected by the subsequent expiration, modification, amendment or revocation of the executive order.
Provides that if any provision of the executive order or the application of such provision to any person or circumstance is held to be invalid or unconstitutional, the remainder of the executive order and the application of the provisions to other persons or circumstances shall not be affected thereby.
New Hampshire becomes the latest state to issue an executive order allowing the temporary performance of remote online notarizations by notarial officers of the state. The executive order is based on the bill introduced in the U.S. Senate (U.S. SB 3533) but adds an interesting twist: after the parties meet online using audio-visual communication, the signer must mail the signed document to the Notary for the Notary to sign and authenticate with the Notary's seal. The date and time of the notarization entered into the paper document must be the date and time the parties appeared online using audio-visual communication technology.
Read the executive order.
The order is in force for the duration of the State of Emergency declared in Executive Order 2020-04. Governor Sununu extended the state of emergency 21 times, most recently on May 28, 2021, in Executive Order 2021-10, which extended the state of emergency through June 11, 2021.
On June 10, 2021, Governor Sununu announced he would not renew the State of Emergency.

Sen. Joe Manchin III said Wednesday that he and other lawmakers have complaints about key issues — such as how coal power has been addressed by the Obama administration — but shutting down the government over them is not a good policy.
Mr. Manchin, West Virginia Democrat, was part of a 14-senator group that hammered out the latest deal to reopen the government and raise the debt limit, offering up a deal hours before the nation hits a midnight deadline to extend its borrowing authority.
As a safeguard, he said, lawmakers have to decide by mid-December whether they are locked into current spending levels dictated by the so-called sequester cuts.
"Basically, we said you have to have a budget conference … now it's time to go to conference," Mr. Manchin said.

There is really nothing like the best skin care product. There really can't be anything like 'The best skin care product', because skin care products work differently for different people (based on the skin type to some extent). A product that is the 'best skin care product' for one person might end up being the worst for another person. So, a more logical question to ask would be 'What is the best skin care product for my type of skin?'.
However, this still is not completely logical. We tend to segregate people into 4 groups based on their skin types – i.e. dry skin, oily skin, normal skin and sensitive skin. However, this classification is just too broad to be used definitively in determining the best skin care product. We can say 'best skin care product for a dry skin' or 'best skin care product for an oily skin' are better statements than just 'best skin care product'. But really, that is what it is – 'better'; still not accurate.
Which is the best skin care product for you?
So, it really comes to rephrasing the question to – 'What is the best skin care product for me'. Yes, this is exactly the question that you should be asking, and unfortunately, there is no easy answer for this. Arriving at the best skin care product for self will need some effort on your part.
Besides the ingredients, the way you apply your skin care products is equally important. In fact, this is even more important. If you do not know how to apply skin care products, you might forever be hunting for the best skin care product for yourself, when that has already passed you. Moreover, it's also important to decide on the frequency of application (of the skin care product). The environmental factors – temperature, humidity, and pollution level, also affect the selection of best skin care product.
* The effectiveness of active ingredients is reduced when applied over another product e.g. over moisturizer. So apply that best skin care product first and then apply a bit of moisturizer if needed.

Nearly Two Years Later, A Controversial Rape Case Is Reviewed
KCUR | By Peggy Lowe
Daisy Coleman, now 16, looks at trophies and other awards she's won for beauty pageants, dancing and sports. She has attempted suicide at least twice since waking up in freezing temperatures on her doorstep.
Nearly two years after allegations of a sexual assault rocked a small Missouri town, the case may be reopened.
A county prosecutor in Maryville, Mo., has requested that an independent attorney look at accusations of rape and other charges against two former high school athletes — despite his earlier decision to drop the case.
The Internet activist group Anonymous, which crusaded for another high-profile rape case, is taking credit for this turnaround.
The first thing Daisy Coleman remembers is her surprise that she was still alive.
Back on Jan. 8, 2012, Daisy was found at 5 a.m. propped up on the porch of her family's home in Maryville, a town of 12,000 set in farm country. The 14-year-old had been outside about three hours, unconscious, in freezing temperatures in just a T-shirt and sweatpants. Her hair was wet; vomit was splattered nearby. She doesn't remember dragging herself to the front door.
"What I do remember is me and my friend were drinking in my bedroom without my mom's permission," she says. "And then this guy texted me and he's like, 'Hey, you want to hang out?' And I was like, 'Well, I'll have to sneak around. It's like 1 in the morning.' "
The guy who texted Coleman was Matthew Barnett, then a 17-year-old high school athlete. Barnett picked up Daisy and her 13-year-old friend. Along with some other boys, they sneaked into Barnett's parents' home, where they drank more.
According to sheriff's reports, Barnett admitted to having sex with Coleman but said it was consensual. His buddy, then-17-year-old Jordan Zech, videotaped part of it on an iPhone. Another underage boy said he had sex with Daisy's friend despite her saying "no," the reports said.
"Did a crime occur?" Sheriff Darren White said in July, when NPR member station KCUR reported the story. "Hell yes, it occurred. Was it a horrible crime? Yes, it was a horrible crime. Did these boys need to be punished for it? Absolutely."
The Charges
Barnett and Zech were charged as adults under Missouri law and the underage boy was prosecuted as a juvenile.
But then a toxic mix of small-town gossip and social media kicked in.
Coleman says she was cyberbullied by the boys' friends. Her mom, Melinda Coleman, accused law enforcement of protecting the boys. Authorities accused her of being uncooperative.
Then came the next blow to the family: County prosecutor Robert Rice dropped the case, just three months after the charges were filed, citing insufficient evidence.
Rice, an up-and-coming Republican, was accused of dropping the charges because of the Barnett family's deep political ties — Matthew Barnett's grandfather, Rex, is a former state legislator. Rice denies that claim.
Sheriff White blamed the alleged victim and her family for destroying the case. "We have victims that are harpooning the case," he said. "At least the suspects were smart enough to keep their mouths shut after it all happened."
The boys graduated from high school and went to college in nearby towns. The Colemans moved 40 miles away, and Daisy, now 16, struggled with the aftermath of the alleged sexual assault. She attempted suicide at least twice.
"I just felt like if I'm this ugly on the inside, I might as well look it on the outside," she says. "You're the s-word, you're the w-word, ... b-word. Just, after a while, you start to believe it."
But the Colemans didn't give up. She and her mother talked to local NPR member station KCUR and other reporters. The stories gained traction online, and the self-proclaimed Internet "hactivist" group Anonymous took up the cause via YouTube.
"If Maryville won't defend these young girls," the video says, "if the police are too cowardly or corrupt to do their jobs, if the justice system has abandoned them, then someone else will have to stand for them."
Anonymous is a mostly online collective of international activists. The group is credited with leaking the video of the rape victim in the Steubenville, Ohio, case last year, which led to the conviction of two young men. This week, Anonymous called for a "Twitterstorm" to spread word of the case, and other social media users planned a protest for Maryville next week.
Law enforcement reacted. At a press conference Wednesday, Rice said he has "asked the court to appoint a special prosecuting attorney to conduct an independent review of the facts and determine whether to refile charges."
Barnett's mother — visibly angry — told reporters that her son is being threatened and needs an escort to his classes. The Colemans are thrilled that the case is being re-examined. And the protest that was set for next week is now being called a candlelight rally for justice.
Note: NPR does not normally identify alleged rape victims, but does so in this case because Coleman and her family have publicly identified themselves in the media.

Chapter 216 - Locked up (1)
Predatory Marriage — Chapter 216. Locked up (1)
Leah had a dream.
Someone was chasing her. She ran as fast as she could, but she came to a huge iron door, wrapped in chains and locked with a lock that had no key.
Desperately, she pounded on it. She tried to open it, but the solid iron wouldn't budge. Her hands were red and swollen as she frantically yanked at the chain. Then, from the other side of the door, she heard a voice.
—You don't have the key.
Leah gasped. That voice sounded like her own.
—You have to find the key, Leah.
The other Leah commanded. She froze for a moment.
"Where is it?" Leah asked, shocked.
—Hurry! There's no time. Hurry, before Cerdina finds out!
"What do you mean? What is it that she can't find out?"
But there was no answer. No matter how many times she asked, the other Leah continued,
—If she finds out…
The voice spoke an ominous warning.
—She will kill him.
With a cry, Leah opened her eyes.
She woke from the nightmare, but it was not a relief. Her stomach ached, and she clutched it in her hands.
"Ahh, ah…"
Curling up into a ball, she drew deep breaths, exhaling slowly. When the stabbing pain finally subsided, her whole body was drenched in cold sweat.
Looking around dizzily, she realized she was in a familiar place. Her bedroom in her palace, with the dim morning light filtering through the windows. Lying in bed, she shivered for a moment, and then placed her hands resolutely on her belly again. Her face was rigid.
Inside her, something twisted. It was a faint movement, but it was real. Then it disappeared as if it had never happened.
A shiver ran through her. For a while, she was paralyzed, but she gathered herself and rose from the bed. Too much was happening too fast.
At first, she thought of calling a doctor, but something in her mind immediately protested. She shouldn't do that. And she couldn't help thinking of another man, the first man who sprang to her mind when she wondered who she could talk to about what was happening to her body.
The events of the previous night whirled through her mind. Baroness Cinael. That bill of sale for a small farm. Many moments that had not been at all unpleasant. The places where that man had bit and sucked were still hot, tingling with sensations she couldn't erase. All of it reminded her of last night.
She lifted her hands to her cheeks. She had done something unimaginable, but strangely, she didn't feel guilt or regret. Looking down at her left hand, she saw the engagement ring was back on her finger, and closed her eyes at the urge to rip it off and fling it away.
She should be thinking of her wedding. But she couldn't control her fluttering heart.
What was it about him? Why did she feel such a strong attraction to him? It worried her, but remembering how sweet it had been to sleep in his arms made her stumble. Catching herself on a table, she poured herself a glass of water and sipped it, trying to untangle the conflicts in her mind one at a time.
First, she had to find out what was happening to her body. It would be best to find Ishakan first, and ask him to get a doctor they could trust. She also had questions about some of the things that had happened the other day.
She was sure that something was terribly wrong, but she didn't have enough information to come to any conclusion.
Leah bit her lip. She had been trying to calm the chaos in her mind, but suddenly the room felt stifling. She couldn't stand it, she wanted to run, so badly that she grabbed the doorknob to fly out into the garden.
It didn't open.
Desperately, she yanked at the door, panicking.
"Princess!"
Countess Melissa's voice came from the other side of the door, and Leah had never been so glad to hear it.
"Countess! Please open the door!"
But the answer was disturbing.
"I'm sorry. I can't."
"His Majesty has ordered that you shall remain locked in your room, starting today," the Countess said seriously. "You will not be allowed to leave."

● Topkapı Palace - a minimalist imperial palace
:: Aruna
If you expect Topkapı Palace to be one of those great imposing edifices you see in Britain, France and other Western European countries, you'll be disappointed. Its very difference makes it more fascinating
ISTANBUL - Turkish Daily News
Topkapı Palace is nothing you would ever expect it to be, given the many centuries that its Ottoman occupants ruled and administered a far-flung empire. Its main gate, called the Bab-I Humayun or Imperial Gate, is actually almost too narrow to squeeze a tourist bus through, as the various chips along the edges of the entrance demonstrate. It's been a long time since taxis and private cars were forbidden this approach, and now perhaps there will be some thought given to another way for the buses (and sometimes trucks) to enter. Perhaps through the military installation to the right after you've entered the grounds of the palace?
On the left is St. Irini, a Byzantine church that after the Ottoman conquest served as a storehouse for old cannons and which today is a concert hall. The many structures located there were destroyed in a fire in the 19th century. But until you get to the middle gate or the Gate of Salutations, you aren't really in the palace itself. Today that means passing by a number of low-lying buildings on the right where you buy tickets to enter the palace (a ticket to see the newly reopened Treasury and one to see the Harem are separate), change money and find expensive but elegant gift items. And then you confront some security measures at the huge middle gate, guards and turnstiles.
Once through you find yourself in a large courtyard with grassy sections and a large path that leads straight forward to the next courtyard. The road that slopes down to the left goes to the carriage and stable area. Another radial path leads to the Divan, where once the sultan's council and grand vezir met to deal with matters of state and also to the entrance to the harem. On the right are the low-lying buildings that served as kitchens but today house a stunning collection of Chinese porcelain that is believed to be the most important and possibly the largest outside of China. The palace staff uses some of the other rooms in this building as offices.
But perhaps you want to head straight ahead to see what the third gate, or the Gate of Felicity, holds behind it because here were the private apartments of the sultans. By now you must be asking yourself where's the palace, but you are in the Ottoman palace, a series of quite small buildings that each had a separate function. There are no huge edifices with sweeping marble staircases a la Western here. Directly opposite the Gate of Felicity is the room in which the sultan received petitions. Another served as a library. The rooms around the courtyard were part of the so-called Palace School in which specially chosen young boys were educated to become leaders of the Ottoman Empire. Culled from non-Muslim families throughout the empire, they were converted to Islam and put through one of the best educations that could be given at the time. Upon finishing the school, they either remained to serve in the palace or went into the military or became servants in the Privy Chamber where their chances of advancement were excellent since they waited on the sultan himself. Today the rooms in the third court are showcases for garments, paintings, and precious works of art such as the famous Topkapı dagger and in a more pious vein, the sacred mantle of Prophet Mohammed.
People say that ghosts haunt the palace although nobody has ever admitted to seeing one. Perhaps the only ghosts were Peter Ustinov and Melina Mercouri in the film "Topkapı," in which they were after stealing a magnificent jeweled dagger from one of the side rooms on the right as you enter this third courtyard. There are more persistent stories of ghosts in the harem section, but since you'll never be conducted through that area at night, you needn't worry.
No officials stayed at the palace overnight unless the sultan invited the grand vezir to stay. Nor was there a harem established there during the reign of Fatih Sultan Mehmet, who had the palace built although today one would hardly think he could recognize much of it because so many buildings were burned, torn down or replaced. Fatih Mehmet's harem, and one could even say his "home" was in what was known as the Old Palace, where Istanbul University and the Süleymaniye Mosque complex are today. Topkapı was for administrative purposes only. But there comes a time for change and it seems that Hürrem Sultan, or Roxelana as she was known in Western sources, persuaded Sultan Süleyman to allow her to move to Topkapı where it would be much more convenient for them to be together.
The fourth courtyard again contains a number of small buildings, a beautiful porch that overlooks the Golden Horn and another fantastic viewpoint on the south side from which one can see up the Bosporus and down the Sea of Marmara. The tiles on the buildings are some of the finest that the Ottoman Empire had to offer, and one often sees them reproduced in art books. This courtyard is small, cramped even. One wonders if the sultan would ever have wanted to be alone and if so, how could he have been with all the attendants and guards surrounding him. Anyway, you will find a terrific restaurant here that serves everything from snacks to hot meals, and you can enjoy the beautiful view while you relax.
The sultan had his own apartments next to the harem and even a luxuriously furnished audience chamber where he could be entertained if he so desired. On the side opposite this chamber are smaller bedchambers and smaller rooms, some for dining, and they give us the impression of a need for a more intimate space. Perhaps the sultans didn't need space for themselves as we talk about today because from their earliest years they would have been isolated from the outside world in what was termed a kafes, or cage, to ensure they didn't cause trouble for the reigning sultan.
The harem itself seems like a dark rabbit warren of little spaces for inmates -- the more significant you were, the larger your room. The biggest rooms were reserved for the valide sultan, who was the mother of the reigning sultan. After Hürrem Sultan, no sultan ever married a woman from his harem, but they were counted in importance by which one had first borne him a son. Girl babies didn't count except as possibly being useful to give in marriage to a faithful follower. Sisters also weren't a bad bargain since these women were allowed free access to the palace harem and proximity to the sultan with all its possible rewards.
But under the impact of Western influences and apparently wishing to appear "modern," the sultans decided it was time to build more appropriate palaces, so we see the Çırağan Palace and Dolmabahçe Palace. Yıldız Palace, the last one to be built, is rather more in line with the way Topkapı was constructed -- a series of independent smaller buildings in a park-like setting.
So with the coming of the Turkish Republic, Topkapı Palace became a museum for all of us to muse over and wonder what it would have been like to have lived in this minimalist palace.

Prior to its restoration following its auction in 1970 (see Provenance), this Lamentation was long considered an early work by the rare Wesel born painter Jan Joest van Calcar. Friedländer was among the first to take up the attribution of the picture in some length upon it's acquisition by the Wallraf-Richartz museum, calling it an early work by that as-yet little known painter. Following its publication by Friedländer, however, the painting was cleaned and unnecessary overpaint revealed a smoothness of handling much in line with the early work of Joest's pupil, Joos van Cleve. Indeed its brighter palette and the smooth plasticity with which the figures are rendered recall Joos' output from his early maturity in Antwerp. U. Wolff-Thomsen (see Literature), was among the first to re-position the attribution in favor of Joos van Cleve, with subsequent scholarly consensus leaning in favor of this opinion.
Estimate 100,000 — 150,000
The following condition report has been provided by Simon Parkes of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc. 502 East 74th St. New York, NY 212-734-3920, simonparkes@msn.com, an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's. This picture is in sound condition overall. Passages such as Mary Magdalene's detailed bodice and the minute pattern on the edge of Mary's mantle have held up remarkably well, while a fine craquelure and rubbing interrupt the details and modeling in flesh passages. In the faces and Christ's body, retouching is limited primarily to losses, leaving dark cracks and wear untouched. Across the sky, restoration addresses several losses and rubbing, and retouching compensates for losses along the right and bottom edges of the picture. Toning in the darker portions of the blue mantle have shifted slightly in tone and opacity. The varnish is even and clear. The wood panel support has a cradle attached to the reverse and is planar. It is possible that a new restoration might coax some details out of the rubbed faces and flesh passages, but the current restoration remains in good enough condition that cleaning is not essential; some amount of corrective retouching may prove to be a satisfactory option. The painting may be hung in its current state.

For The Session: Beer Blogging Friday #109, Mark Lindner —of By the Barrel: The Bend Beer Librarian— is the host.
Porter is intimately tied in with the Industrial Revolution, in which Britain led the world. Through the growth it enabled the brewers to achieve, it was instrumental in the development and technological application of a number of important scientific advances." (Foster, Terry. Porter. Brewers Publications. P. 17).
I am not a librarian, and none of my long-departed relatives ever owned breweries (that I know of). But I believe that the history of our heritage —whether beer or otherwise— can show us our common roots and point to our common (or uncommon) futures. Beer as liquid history? To repeat, yet again, this trope: well, yes.
As to porter substyles, I believe there is porter — Platonic or 'I can't define it but I know it when I taste it'— and then there are other things, infused with kitchen-sink ephemera. Give 'em a great name, like Double Imperial Coconut Killer ale, but, please, be honest and respectful: not porter. Modifiers heaped upon modifiers yield differences of kind not degree.
I began brewing at home in the late 1980s. Porter was my go-to brew. In 1992, I trepidatiously entered an enth-generation batch in the Spirit of Free Beer, a contest organized by B.U.R.P. —Brewers United for Real Potables— a Washington, D.C.-area home brew club.
The recipe was not complex —especially as contrasted with today's so-called 'extreme' beers of high alcoholic strength and exotic procedures— but, at 5.5% alcohol by volume, it was flavorful enough to garner a silver medal.
I went on to brew professionally, but porter would remain insinuated in my soul. That bakers chocolate nose; whiff of dark fruit and pine cone; chocolate-malted body; more-ish but not boozy; that brisk slap of a finish.
At the risk of sounding elegiac: is porter dying in the U.S.? I find it harder and harder to find examples on tap or in bottle. If so, that would be a shame: a neglect of tradition and a loss of a delicious thing.
But, then, when I can still drink something sublime like this, I smile, mollified.
Porter from Port City Brewing (of Alexandria, Virginia) won Silver Medal at 2015 Great American Beer Festival, at which the brewery took top honors as Small Brewery of Year.
For ths history and brewing of porter, I read folk such as Terry Foster, or beer-historians such as Martyn Cornell and Ron Pattinson. I avoid BJCP and GABF guidelines, as they are third-party designs, without the imprimatur of primary sources. I wait for a latter-day vatted example.
... but porter, nonetheless, was the beginning of that journey for me.
Mr. Lindner is a librarian: an essential profession, particularly in today's digital age. My father — whose birthday I honored on 1 March with a Guinness Stout (if not a porter, at least in the family)— while not a librarian, was a lover of books and libraries. Please consider donating to the American Library Association.
Should you be in VA this autumn I am brewing a classic porter with Three Notch'd on their pilot system. Should be available in the tasting room in September.


Twenty years ago I started photographing family and friends for pure fun.
Eight years later I was professionally shooting at Under-18 soccer matches for an Italian magazine.
Ever since I have been photographing as freelance at a number of religious, sport and corporate events across Italy, my country, and Europe.
I collaborate with several renowned photography studios, in and around Milan, specialising in documentary wedding photography.

MIDI plc - Interim Results
On 28 August, MIDI plc published its condensed interim financial statements covering the six-month period ended 30 June 2017.
During the period under review, MIDI registered a 52.3% drop in turnover to €1.87 million, reflecting the lack of apartments available for delivery to their respective owners. In fact, most of the revenues generated during the first six months of this current financial year ending 31 December 2017 were generated from property and rental management whilst only €0.18 million (or 9.9% of total revenues) were generated from development and sale of property.
Cost of sales and other operating and administrative expenses were also lower when compared to the previous comparable period as they dropped by nearly 36% to €2.21 million (H1 2016: €3.44 million). Nonetheless, MIDI still reported an operating loss of €0.34 million from an operating profit of €0.47 million registered in the first half of FY2016.
Despite the overall increase in borrowings, net finance costs dropped by 27.8% to €1.16 million (H1 2016: €1.61 million), partly reflecting the coupon rate differential between the 7% bonds redeemed on 15 December 2016 and the new 4% secured bonds issued last year.
Overall, MIDI posted a pre-tax loss of €1.51 million compared to a pre-tax loss of €1.14 million in the first half of 2016. After taking into account a tax charge of €0.16 million (H1 2016: tax credit of €0.28 million), the Group made a net loss of €1.66 million compared to a net loss of €0.86 million in the first six months of FY2016.
The Condensed Statement of Financial Position as at 30 June 2017 shows a marginal increase of 0.7% in total assets to €205.2 million when compared to the corresponding figure as at 31 December 2016. The growth in assets is largely due to the 5.7% (or €7.22 million) increase in "Inventories – Development project" to €134.3 million whilst "Other current assets" dropped by 28.4% (or €5.83 million) to €14.7 million, reflecting the further progress made on the development of the Q2 residential block. On the other hand, total liabilities increased by 2.3% (or €3.13 million) to €139.5 million mainly reflecting the 1.55% increase (or €1.18 million) in aggregate "Trade and other payables" and the €1.95 million addition in borrowings. Accordingly, the Group's equity base contracted by 2.5% (or €1.67 million) to €65.7 million largely reflecting the loss registered during the period under review. This translates into a net asset value of €0.3067 (31 December 2016: €0.3145).
Current Material Events & Outlook
The Directors explained that MIDI is currently undergoing the continued development of the Q2 residential block which is expected to be completed in the first half of 2018. Meanwhile, the Company launched a second tranche of the Q2 apartments on the market and most of these apartments have already been subject to a promise of sale agreement. As such, MIDI is anticipating that all of the Q2 apartments will be handed over to their respective owners during 2018 and hence profits generated from such sales are expected to be registered in the Company's financial statements ending 31 December 2018.
With respect to MIDI's 50% shareholding in Mid Knight Holdings – the company currently developing "The Centre" office block – the Group noted that development works are now approaching completion with commencement of rental operations earmarked for Q4 2017. Following the sale of one whole floor, MIDI noted that all of the remaining floors are now practically rented out.
MIDI also made reference to the Manoel Island project and the previous company announcements providing updates in this respect. In particular, MIDI reiterated the engagement of PwC Global Strategy& as end-to-end international strategy consultant, Foster + Partners for the creation of a conceptual masterplan, as well as Jefferies International Limited as financial adviser for the purposes of identifying and selecting a suitable partner to financially support the development of Manoel Island.

The Gary Null Show - Nuclear Energy - 07.16.19
The Gary Null Show is here to inform you on the best news in health, healing, the environment.
Part 1 - Environmentalists have long promoted renewable energy sources like solar panels and wind farms to save the climate. But what about when those technologies destroy the environment? In this provocative talk, Time Magazine "Hero of the Environment" and energy expert, Michael Shellenberger explains why solar and wind farms require so much land for mining and energy production, and an alternative path to saving both the climate and the natural environment. Michael Shellenberger is a Time Magazine Hero of the Environment and President of Environmental Progress, a research and policy organization. A lifelong environmentalist, Michael changed his mind about nuclear energy and has helped save enough nuclear reactors to prevent an increase in carbon emissions equivalent to adding more than 10 million cars to the road. He lives in Berkeley, California. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community
Part 2 - This "Enviro Close-Up with Karl Grossman" demolishes the hoax that nuclear power is green. The program features actor Alec Baldwin who has long challenged nuclear power; former U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission chairman Gregory Jaczko who declares that nuclear power "is not the right way forward" and not "a solution to climate change;" Joseph Mangano, executive director of the Radiation and Public Health Project, who tells of releases to the environment by nuclear power; attorney Susan H. Shapiro now in court taking on the $7.6 billion New York State bail-out of nuclear plants based on the no-emissions claim—a bail-out being imitated by other states; Dr. Mark Cooper of the Vermont School of Law who says continuing with nuclear power "will delay the transition to a clean energy future:' New York State Assemblywoman Ellen Jaffee who blasts the $7.6 billion bail-out; and Dr. Mark Z. Jacobson, energy analyst at Stanford University who emphasizes how "nuclear is not zero carbon at all." The program was filmed at a New York City conference organized by the Radiation and Public Health Project.


(401–450). Grandson of Theodosius* I; E Roman emp. 408–450 (minority 408–421); fought against Persia, Vandal pirates, Huns; pub. Code of Theodosius (collection of imperial constitutions). See also Ephesus, Third Ecumenical Council of; Justinian I; Natural Law.

Started Working in Peru
Since 2018, RET's operations were focused in the provinces of Lima, Tumbes, Tacna and Arequipa. Moreover, RET created better educational opportunities for Venezuelan migrants and refugees in Peru by reaching to out-of-school children and adolescents in the Southern districts of Metropolitan Lima, Chorrillos, San Juan de Miraflores, Villa El Salvador y Villa María del Triunfo.
The Situation in Peru
Asylum applications in Peru have significantly increased from 379 in January 2016 to more than 20,000 in 2017. According to the UNHCR, "an estimated 45,000 Venezuelan asylum seekers entered the country, resulting in 800 new asylum applications per day", making Peru the second country following Colombia with the highest number of Venezuelan migrants. During the migratory journey and at border crossings, migrants or asylum seekers have food, water, health, and shelter needs and often face protection risks. UNHCR states that "the risk of sexual and gender-based violence, trafficking and exploitation is a growing concern for local and national authorities."
Families are exposed to labor exploitation and financial difficulties in earning a living, and students face difficulties enrolling in the education system. Moreover, asylum seekers entering Peru do not have clear information on procedures and costs to formalize their immigration status at the "Special Commission's Government offices for Refugees" or the "National Migration Superintendent" and in any other entity that facilitates their access.
RET started its activities in Peru in 2018, with a vision of consolidating its efforts to protect and provide humanitarian assistance to vulnerable migrants, asylum seekers, and refugees coming from Venezuela in particular and assisting the most vulnerable Peruvian communities. RET aimed to bridge the integration and socio-economic gaps in Peru and advance the self-sufficiency of refugees, asylum seekers, and vulnerable migrants in Peru, in coordination with the local Government.
The projects focused on providing humanitarian assistance and protection aid to improve access to health, shelter, and livelihood services, and provide non-formal education services to Venezuelan children and adolescents from Southern Lima. It strengthened their leadership skills and coping mechanisms by providing livelihood opportunities to advance integration into the Peruvian host community. The project also offered support to local public institutions and civil servants and protection to vulnerable young women and girls facing or at risk of gender-based violence. RET implemented its activities in coordination with the National Refugees and Migrants Working Group (RMWG), led by UNHCR and IOM.
Moreover, RET created better educational opportunities for Venezuelan migrants and refugees in Peru by reaching to out-of-school children and adolescents in the Southern districts of Metropolitan Lima, Chorrillos, San Juan de Miraflores, Villa El Salvador y Villa María del Triunfo. RET focused on increasing access to education by reinforcing the MoE capacity to enroll and provide education services for refugee and migrant populations and provide out-of-school children and adolescents with non-formal education programs that develop their competencies and skills and help them access the formal education system.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic and health emergency, RET developed a Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) activities and strategies to reinforce efforts led by PAHO/WHO and the Ministry of Health. RET promoted hygiene practices and provided basic training for infection prevention and control (IPC) to health personnel focusing on primary health care facilities and healthcare workers, and on medical waste management. Also, basic training on human waste management was provided, focusing on the handling and disposition of remains. RET also provided Multi-purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) to teh vulnerable communities to cope with the economic crisis related to the COVID-19 pandemic in Peru.

NFL Power Rankings, Week 16: Jets, Giants Both In Top 10
By Ed Valentine@Valentine_Ed Dec 21, 2010, 1:58pm EST
Share All sharing options for: NFL Power Rankings, Week 16: Jets, Giants Both In Top 10
Turns out I was off by just a little bit in my predictions for how the SB Nation Week 16 NFL Power Rankings would turn out.
As I figured the Jets did move up and the Giants did move down. Both teams, however, still landed in the top 10 — and that is something I had not counted on.
The Jets (10-4) made a bold move up the charts from No. 11 a week ago all the way to No. 5 after going to Pittsburgh and coming away with a 22-17 victory.
The top four teams in the poll are New England, Atlanta, Philadelphia and Baltimore. Pittsburgh checks in at No. 6, one spot behind the Jets.
As for the Giants, they dropped from No. 8 to No. 10 after the Sunday Meltdown In the Meadowlands against the Eagles, in which they blew a 21-point lead in the final eight minutes. To be honest, I thought the Giants would tumble all the way out of the top 10.
NFL Power Rankings, Week 16: Jets, Giants Should Switch Places
