Give Your Company A Makeover For 2006!
Several areas are critical for employers who want to be ahead of the game in 2006: First, employers should review and update employee handbooks and human resources policies in light of changing laws. Second, employers need to have an internal education and training strategy to ensure compliance with state and federal employment laws, and prevent liability.
With the anticipated increase in organizing activity caused by the recent breakup of the AFL-CIO, employers should also ensure that their policies comply with applicable labor laws, and that education and training on union avoidance is in place.
Do your work rules on confidentiality, abusive language, harassment, false statements, and loitering comply with recent NLRB decisions on employee rights under the National Labor Relations Act?
Have you ever updated your "no-solicitation/distribution" policies to address the use of e-mail and other electronic communications?
Do you have policies addressing the use of cell phones in work areas and while driving on company business?
When was the last time you reviewed your employment-at-will disclaimer in light of evolving state law?
Are your business ethics policies compliant with Sarbanes-Oxley?
When was the last time you had union avoidance training? Have you assessed your union avoidance strategies in light of the "Change to Win" Coalition?
Are you ready to face the often-complicated issues presented by the dramatically-increasing ethnic and religious diversity in our nation?
Are you prepared to prevent "whistleblower" retaliation claims under Sarbanes-Oxley?
And, by the way, when was the last time you had harassment training – for your employees as well as management?
As always, Constangy is ready to assist you in these areas, and more. Handbook and policy reviews, and supervisory and management training can often be performed on a fixed-fee basis. If you need our assistance, please contact the Constangy attorney of your choice.

We had a TON of people cash in on the deal, and we're working with them to build amazing websites as we speak.

In the remainder of this post we'll show you how to save money on your website, and all the options available to you through MOJO Marketplace.
Before we go through the options, a word on hosting. You'll need a domain name and website hosting to build your website with.
You can check availability for your domain name, purchase a domain, and sign up for hosting through BlueHost—the preferred WordPress hosting provider.

Website design and development can be both time consuming and expensive. However, WordPress themes come with demo designs—the preview design created to demonstrate how the theme looks and works. These designs have already been thought out and developed by talented web developers, and can be imported and customized after you install the theme.
For just $149, our talented developers will import the demo of your choosing and configure your site with the pages, content, and branding you need.
We also offer WordPress theme installation for just $49 (which you must complete before importing the demo associated with your theme).
Also, we have some free guides to install your WordPress theme and import the demo yourself. A word of caution: while installing a theme can be straightforward, importing demos varies from theme to theme, and there are several ways to do it. If you find it too difficult or time consuming, we suggest using our Demo Service or subscribing to WP Live to learn the process in-depth.

Q: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'function' and 'function' I am currently trying to add the the values of the dice rolls together to get the first player's score as you can see withins the two functions but keep getting the error: unsupported operand type(s) for +: 'function' and 'function'.
I don't understand why it is not working so I hope someone could help me and tell me why it doesn't work
def D1P1(number_rolled1):
    FirstDice6 = random.randint (1, 6)
    print ("Rolling the first dice")
    time.sleep (2)
    print (('You rolled a '+str(FirstDice6)+' Player 1'))
    return (FirstDice6)

D1P1(number_rolled1)

def D2P1(number_rolled2):
    SecondDice6 = random.randint (1, 6)
    print ("Rolling the second dice")
    time.sleep (2)
    print (('You rolled a '+str(SecondDice6)+' Player 1'))
    return(1,6)

number_rolled2 = 0
D2P1(number_rolled2)

def player1score():
    score1 = (D1P1) + (D2P1)
    print (score1)

A: You need to call your functions, and use the return value.
score1 = D1P1(0) + D2P1(0)

See the python documentation for more details: https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/controlflow.html#defining-functions

A: Functions D1P1 and  D2P1 weren't using the arguments supplied.
I'm not entirely sure of what you're trying to achieve, but here's a working version of your code that makes more sense:
import random
import time

def D1P1():
    FirstDice6 = random.randint (1, 6)
    print ("Rolling the first dice")
    time.sleep (2)
    print (('You rolled a '+str(FirstDice6)+' Player 1'))
    return FirstDice6

def D2P1():
    SecondDice6 = random.randint (1, 6)
    print ("Rolling the second dice")
    time.sleep (2)
    print ('You rolled a '+str(SecondDice6)+' Player 1')
    return SecondDice6

print(D1P1() + D2P1())

Update:
Here's a smaller version:
import random, time
ordinal = lambda n: "%d%s" % (n,"tsnrhtdd"[(n/10%10!=1)*(n%10<4)*n%10::4])

def rolls(x):
    res = 0
    for x in range(1,x+1):
        roll = random.randint (1, 6)
        print ("Rolling the {} dice".format(ordinal(x)))
        time.sleep (2)
        print ('You rolled a {} Player 1'.format(roll))
        res+=roll
    return res
print(rolls(2))

Few things are as delicious as roasted garlic.
There's something about the smell that attracts us like months to a flame. It's impossible not to water at the mouth when it comes to roasted garlic, even if it's only smelling it.
While roasted garlic, or any other kind of garlic for that matter, is more often than not imagined in the context of Italian food, you'll find that garlic is a popular ingredient in cuisines from around the world.
This is why it pays to learn what makes this ingredient amazing, how to select it, how to use it and how to roast it so important.
Learning how to handle garlic is one of those key cooking abilities one should know.
Because once you learn it, you'll be well on your way to giving your own 'touch' to every recipe.
So, with that in mind, let's get started with this guide to roasting garlic and everything you need to know about this delicious, and healthy food.
1. Help! My garlic is blue!
3. What are other ways one can store roasted garlic?
4. Avoid burning your garlic!
Roasting garlic might sound like the kind of thing you can only do if you have a complete kitchen with all kinds of appliances but, trust us, you can roast garlic practically everywhere.
You can roast garlic in the oven, the stovetop, the grill and even in a microwave, making garlic a versatile and delicious ingredient that you can roast no matter what.
Let's cover all of them!
Roasting garlic in the oven is the most popular way of doing it as well as one of the easiest, so we'll start with that.
Heat up your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Carefully peel off the papery outer layers of the garlic, but not the thicker layer that keeps the cloves inside.
Using your knife, cut off ¼ inch of the garlic head. Make sure to slice through the upper part of the garlic cloves as well. You want to see the inside.
Drizzle with 1 or 2 teaspoons of olive oil depending on the size. Don't use it all at once, use a bit first and let it trickle down the cloves, then use the rest.
Tightly wrap in foil and bake for 40 minutes.
Check on the garlic to see if it's done. Your garlic will be done when you can easily pierce it with a knife. That said, you can keep it in the oven for longer to give it a golden hue and a caramelized flavor.
You can now serve your garlic to be eaten with bread or garlic, use it in recipes that call for roasted garlic or even store it.
Let's face it, not everyone has a working oven, which is why we're here to show you how to roast garlic on your stovetop.
Heat up your pan for at least half a minute, though this may take longer if you're using a large pan.
While you wait, take out your garlic cloves from the garlic head but let them each in their 'paper' skin.
Throw your garlic cloves into your hot pan and let them sit for a couple of minutes before stirring. Keep doing this until you see the skin start to blacken.
Once the garlic skins have blackened, take them off the heat and let them cool down for a couple of minutes.
Peel off the skin and enjoy!
As with the previous process, you can serve right away or store.
While it might sound complicated, roasting garlic on the grill is actually pretty simple and it's a wonderful way to multitask.
Place about 12 inches of aluminum foil on your counter and carefully spread your peeled garlic cloves in the middle, forming a single layer.
Drizzle well with olive oil.
Wrap the cloves with the foil, folding the foil as much as necessary to keep the oil from escaping.
Place your foil bag on the grill and let it roast for a few minutes as you grill something else. This shouldn't take longer than your average burger, so it's a good idea to time it like that.
This will keep about a week in the fridge.
Alternatively, you can smash it several times, add some coarse salt, smash it some more and create a purée that you can use to give some extra taste to whatever you're grilling.
A fantastic option for those of you who only have access to a microwave, this is a great way of being frugal while enjoying delicious meals.
Peel off any papery parts of the garlic, leaving only the layer that covers the cloves.
Slice off the top of the garlic, so that you're cutting the top of the cloves as well.
Cover with a microwave safe dish and microwave for 3 minutes.
Microwave in 1 minute intervals, checking after each one.
Repeat after garlic is tender.
Did you buy pre-peeled garlic cloves? You can roast them in your oven!
Place your garlic cloves in the middle of a sheet of aluminum foil, drizzle with olive, sprinkle with salt and pepper, fold the foild packet so that it's tightly sealed and bake at 350 degrees for about 40 minutes or until soft.
Thanks to The Kitchn for sharing these tips!
Not a fan of waste? No problem!
Cut the garlic head in half, width wise, and drizzle olive oil on a small roasting pan before placing both halves cut side down, so that they absorb the oil. Cook in the oven at 350 degrees for 50 minutes or until soft.
Thanks to Tipnut for sharing these tips!
Need to freeze your roasted garlic?
Roasting garlic and saving it for later is not only a very good idea, it's also easy to do!
Simply arrange them in a single layer on a baking sheet and place it in the freezer for a couple of hours. Take them out once they're frozen, separate them and place them in a freezer bag or a container.
Thanks to The Kitchn for sharing these tips!
From when to buy it to how to cook it, there are plenty of tips and tricks out there that can help you step up your garlic game.
Garlic is available all year round, so you'll always be able to find it fresh.
Because finding it fresh is so easy, you should always discard garlic bulbs that look dry and flaky, as those are more than likely old and dry.
The perfect garlic head looks plump and firm, with cloves easily felt through the skin and pressed tightly against each other.
Note: Sometimes you'll notice a little green stem when cutting a garlic clove. This means that the clove has started to sprout, which can alter the taste and even turn it bitter.
As we mentioned before, roasted garlic is popular in a lot of cuisines around the world and Mexico's is no different.
While you might not have a comal at hand, chances are you have a griddle or a skillet.
If that's the case, simply place unpeeled garlic cloves on a hot skillet and the them cook, shaking the copper pan every now and then to make sure it's cooking on all sides.
No oil or condiments needed, just do this until the skin is blackened and you'll be done.
You can do the same with chiles (to boost their spiciness) and onions as well!
When sliced garlic enters in contact with oxygen it releases some of its best qualities so, regardless of how you're going to use it, cut it, chop it, mince it, slice it or whatever you need to do with it and then let it sit for around 10 minutes while you prepare all the other ingredients you'll need for your recipe.
While delicious, garlic is known for being very smelly and anyone that eats it or cooks it will be carrying the smell around.
The easiest way of getting rid of garlic breath is to brush your teeth, floss and nibble on parsley.
And if you cooked it? Simply rub your hands with a paste made with lemon, baking soda and salt before rinsing with cool water.
Rubbing stainless steel with your hands is also a great idea of doing this, but it will take a while so it's probably not the best idea if you're in a rush.
When chopped, garlic can release oils and sugars that make it sticky, which some people dislike.
If you're the kind of person who doesn't like handling garlic because of this, try using a garlic press. It should make things easier for you.
It might sound like nonsense, but garlic tastes different depending on what you do with it, even before you add other ingredients.
Garlic can be crushed, minced, filleted and even mashed, which will alter its cellular structure and change its taste.
- Crushed garlic has a harsher more garlicy flavor.
- Sliced or chopped garlic have a milder taste.
- Delicately minced or even filleted garlic has a gentle taste to it.
- Intact garlic cloves are the mildest form of garlic.
Yep, what you do with garlic before you actually do something with it can make a big difference in your food, so when it comes to garlic make sure to follow the recipes exactly.
As you can see, there's a fairly good number of ways to improve the taste of your garlic and the way it's used but you need to know there's also a good number of ways one can misuse garlic.
Don't worry, though. Here's a list of quick tips that will help you deal with some of the most common garlic mistakes.
If your garlic takes a blue, slightly greenish color out of nowhere, chances are it came into contact with acids, such as lemon juice, while you were distracted.
Acids change the composition of acid, which can result in a blueish hue.
Don't worry about this, though. The taste is the same and it won't hurt you, so go ahead and enjoy!
Garlic has its own oil, and it's entirely possible to roast garlic without it.
In general terms, if the cloves haven't been peeled, or sliced, you can roast them without oil. As easy as that.
Roasted garlic can keep from weeks to months, depending on how you store it.
Leaving it in the bulb while wrapped in tinfoil can make your roasted garlic last a handful of days in the fridge.
Squeezing the roasted cloves and storing them in a glass container, covered in olive oil, can keep them for weeks.
Smashing the cloves repeatedly and mixing them with coarse salt to make a paste doesn't make it last longer by itself, but you can mix it with other ingredients, such as herbs, place them in an ice cube tray and freeze them, which will keep them for months.
If you think that adding garlic to a recipe at the very start will release even more flavor, think again. Burnt garlic tastes really bad, so you should always add it towards the end of the recipe to avoid accidentally burning.
Finally, remember that raw garlic, as long as it stays unpeeled, can last up to 3 months as long as you leave it in a well ventilated place and away from the sun.
Now that you know most of what you need to know about garlic, it's time to put what you've learned to the test with ten amazing recipes.

Garlic is often an ingredient in pasta sauces, but you can always mince some raw garlic and mix it with in order to have a stronger flavor and enjoy all the health benefits we previously mentioned.
Tastier pasta and good health.
Bottled salad dressings are often packed with calories and preservatives and can be incredibly fattening.
This is why making your own salad dressings is often recommended, as you can control exactly what goes into your food.
Adding minced raw garlic to your dressings will not only boost their flavors and give your salad a lot of personality but will help you introduce garlic, and its many health benefits, into your daily meals.
Alright, so this might not sound delicious and, in fact, it's not everyone's cup of tea (ha!) but it's easy to make, easy to drink and it will do wonders for sore throats and even fever, making it a great tool at your disposal.
As you can see, there are plenty of ways you can add garlic to your daily diet. It's only a matter of being creative!
We've already covered the fact that garlic tastes amazing, to the point that around the world there are restaurants that cater specifically to the garlic loving crowd by putting it in almost every item in their menu.
While it's tastiness is undeniable, it's far from the only good thing about garlic.
In fact, garlic is one of the healthiest foods you could possibly find; to the point that, through ancient history, garlic was one of the most popular ingredients in all kinds of health remedies and was often used as medicine itself.
While it might not seem like it considering some of the foods you can cook with it, garlic actually has very few calories, with 30 grams of garlic containing around 42 calories total.
25% of your daily recommended Manganese intake.
17% of your daily recommended Vitamin B6 intake.
15% of your daily recommended Vitamin C intake.
6% of your daily recommended Selenium intake.
Plus great amounts of fiber, calcium, potassium, phosphorous, vitamin B1, copper and iron. All part of a healthy and balanced diet.
Because of the high number of vitamins in a single serving of garlic, this vegetable has been proved to boost your immune system, making it more resistant to colds and similar diseases.
In fact, a large study showed that consuming garlic daily can reduce your odds of getting a cold by up to 63%, while also reducing the length of your colds to just 2 days.
Not bad for such a tiny thing, uh?
If you're the kind of person who gets colds on the regular, consider eating more garlic. Not only you'll have a lot of fun in your kitchen, you'll also suffer from colds a lot less.
Cardiovascular diseases are becoming one of the leading reasons of death through the world.
Be it our sedentary lifestyle, the world's growing obesity crisis, our stress filled lives, bad diet or a combination of all four, high blood pressure is on the rise, which is why it pays to learn ways to combat it.
As it turns out, one of the best tools against this type of disease is garlic!
Garlic can help you reduce your blood pressure thanks to one of its main components: allicin.
It needs to be mentioned that, while this quality is very real, it needs high doses of garlic in order to work, which is why just eating the thing won't do as well as taking a supplement.
While we're still talking about heart disease; Garlic can help you reduce your total levels of bad cholesterol (LDL) by up to 15%, a number that might not seem huge on paper but does wonders for your health.
Before we close this point, though, it's worth mentioning that there's no evidence that garlic does anything to improve your triglyceride levels, so if you're on meds specifically because of your triglycerides, garlic isn't going to help you with that.
We could write an entire article on the myriad of benefits antioxidants have on our health (and in fact we just might!) but we'll keep it short this time.
As the name implies, antioxidants help our bodies prevent oxidation, which can reduce not only high blood pressure and cholesterol but can also help prevent things like Alzheimer's disease, dementia and other degenerative mental diseases.
Not only that, but antioxidants protect your cells from cell damage and cell ageing, which leads to our following point.
Antioxidants are known to slow down cell aging, which can help you not only live for longer but also look younger for a longer time.
And if the antioxidants aren't enough? Then take all the previous health benefits into consideration!
There's no doubt there's a good chance including garlic in your diet can help you live longer.
Remember what we mentioned about garlic being used as medicine in the past?
It was also used as a natural athletic performance enhancer!
This is because garlic can help you reduce fatigue, increase your recovery times and even enhance your resistance.
Hell, it was even given to the original Olympic athletes back in ancient Greece.
This property of garlic is far from a placebo thing. Studies have shown that garlic can help improve your athletic performance, by helping you reduce your peak heart rate and reduce your recovery time.
Garlic can help protect your organs from heavy metal toxicity, but only in high doses.
In fact, a study showed that employees from a car battery plant reduced the lead levels in their blood by almost 20% after taking garlic supplements, along with the symptoms related to heavy metal toxicity.
Again, this can only be achieved by taking high doses of garlic, not simply by adding it to your diet, but it supports the the fact that garlic is really, really good for you.
Real talk, there have been no human studies on this area when it comes to garlic consumption, but the studies that have been done in rodents show that garlic can help you reduce bone loss.
Before you hurry and buy all the garlic, however, keep in mind that garlic does this by boosting your estrogen levels. Which is fantastic for women, particularly for menopausal women, but not so much for men.
So if you're a lady looking for a way to prevent or even combat osteoarthritis, go ahead and add garlic to your diet!
There you have our guide on how to roast garlic that you can make use of if you want delicious, moist and tender garlic for your recipes. Also, remember not to commit the common mistakes as well as you may want to follow some tips and tricks from brilliant bloggers.
Finally, you can prepare your garlic by using some of the best recipes we've featured here today!

This book will bring you on both a culinary and a cultural journey through Greece. I love the stories from the author about living on Santorini, and her interactions with the locals. The recipes cover a broad range of Greek cooking -- not just those things we know about from Greek restaurants. Although not every recipe worked perfectly, it is a delightful book, and one that I'm very likely to buy for my own personal library.
Favorites of my family include the little herbed meatballs, the Greek salad, the Walnut cake, and the rice pudding.

The international issue of German reunification
Reunification was not merely an intra-German affair. The status of Germany, and in particular that of Berlin, could be amended only with the agreement of the Four Powers who had forced Germany's unconditional surrender in 1945. These countries might well be anxious about the formation at the centre of Europe of a State of 80 million inhabitants whose political, economic and financial importance was likely to upset the balance of power and threaten the stability that the division of Germany had helped to establish.
Consequently, Chancellor Helmut Kohl and his Foreign Minister, Hans-Dietrich Genscher, worked hard to reassure them. In his programme for reunification of 28 November 1989, the Chancellor confirmed that German unity would take place in the context of the European Community. He then promised that a united Germany would remain part of NATO and that reunification would be undertaken in close consultation with the Allies. The Strasbourg European Council (8–9 December) gave this plan formal acknowledgement: it approved the unification of Germany on condition that the country was run in a democratic fashion, 'in full respect of the relevant agreements and treaties and of all the principles defined by the Helsinki Final Act, in a context of dialogue and East-West cooperation … [and] in the perspective of European integration.'
However, despite these statements of principle, divergent attitudes set France and the United Kingdom, which were not in any great hurry to see reunification take place, against the United States, which was pushing for it to happen, and the Soviet Union, which was resigned to it happening in return for certain guarantees.
In the United Kingdom, there was persistent mistrust towards Germany, and the Conservative Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, expressed her concerns. She declared that until the GDR and its neighbouring countries became democratic, she would rather that Germany remained divided. Integration into a European federation did not seem to her to be a viable solution since a reunified Germany would dominate its partner countries. She would have preferred the creation of a counter-balancing union comprising the United Kingdom, France and the United States, but she was unsuccessful; the Americans gave priority to their relations with Germany, and the French were attached to the Franco–German axis.
Hesitations also arose in France. A unified Germany might turn towards the USSR, despite the difference in political regimes, as had been the case with the German–Soviet treaties of 1922 (Rapallo) and 1939 (Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact). President Mitterrand would initially have preferred Germany to remain divided. He told Mikhail Gorbachev this in Kiev on 6 December. On 22 November, he announced a visit to the GDR, which took place on 20–22 December when reunification was a virtual certainty. Mitterrand had to accept it, but he subordinated German unity to European unification and to the strengthening of the Community institutions. Helmut Kohl responded to François Mitterrand's uncertainty by confirming that German unity and European unity were two sides of the same coin. Mitterrand and Kohl agreed that a Franco–German alliance would boost the idea of political union in Europe.
It was the United States that provided the most active support to the West German Government, as the FRG represented its strongest partner in continental Europe. But the United States was aware that reunification ought not to weaken the cohesion of the Atlantic Alliance or jeopardise Gorbachev's policy of openness towards the West. It therefore remained committed to Europe, a stance that reassured the United Kingdom and France.
In the Soviet Union, Gorbachev, who would have preferred Germany to remain divided with a reformed GDR, stated in January 1990 that reunification was inevitable and that he would accept this according to the old Soviet ideal of a unified and neutral Germany. Kohl, who met Gorbachev on 10 February, declared that neutralisation was unacceptable. This resulted in an impasse. Finally, the Soviet Union's imperative need for Western economic and financial aid forced Gorbachev to relent. The President of the United States, George Bush, who had met Gorbachev on 3 December 1989 in Malta, promised him massive aid packages if he accepted the integration of the former GDR into NATO. For his part, Kohl promised to contribute to the financial cost of having Soviet troops stationed in the GDR. Lastly, the G7 group of leading industrialised countries, meeting on 7 July, came out in favour of providing economic aid to the USSR.

August 13 ~� Reliving in Our Eloquence Full Circle
"We drank a toast to innocence,
We drank a toast to time.
Reliving in our eloquence,
Another 'auld lang syne.'"
~ Dan Fogelberg
Singer/songwriter Daniel Grayling Fogelberg (1951-2007) was born on this day in Peoria, Illinois, the son of a big bandleader. His grandfather gave young Dan an old Hawaiian acoustic guitar when he was 11, and young Dan taught himself how to play.
"I developed pretty strong hands because of that guitar," remembered Fogelberg, who was also an accomplished pianist.
Inspired by the Beatles and Chuck Berry, Fogelberg released Home Free in 1972, which celebrated the soft-rock genre. With songs such as To the Morning and Stars, crafted with beauty and simplicity, Fogelberg's music touched the heart profoundly.
"The acoustic ballads, which some people know me best for, really came out of Gordon Lightfoot, Paul Simon, and Joni Mitchell, but especially Gordon," Fogelberg explained. "His melodic sense was unforgettable, staggering."
In 1974, Fogelberg released the powerful Souvenirs, his first of seven consecutive platinum albums. He called The Innocent Age (1981) a "tough, tough project." The record featured elegant melodies and some of his best songs, including Same Old Lang Syne, Run For The Roses, and Leader Of The Band, a moving tribute to his father.
His three-year battle with prostate cancer called attention to the disease. "Education and awareness are key," he said, becoming an advocate for early detection screenings.
He said in reflection, "You've just got to follow your heart and do your best work... For better or worse, I have followed my heart. There is no doubt in my mind that everything I've done is exactly what I have intended to do."

Elon Musk asks Twitter users whether to reinstate Donald Trump
The new boss of Twitter launched a poll on Friday evening on his personal account. More than 8 million users have already voted, with for the moment an advance for the return of the former American president on his favorite former social network.
Elon Musk, owner and boss of Twitter for three weeks, announced on Friday (November 18th) that several suspended user accounts were readmitted to the platform, but that he had "no decision yet on trump". The boss of Tesla, who says he defends an absolutist vision of freedom of expression, is expected at the turn about the former American president, banned from the social network for having encouraged his supporters before the invasion of the Capitol in January 2021.
On Friday evening, Musk therefore launched a poll in a tweet, in rather pithy language: "Reinstate former President Trump", followed by the option to vote yes or no. Saturday morning, at 11 a.m. Paris time and 5 a.m. West Coast time, more than 8 million people had already voted. With for the time being a lead for the reinstatement of Donald Trump (52.7% against 47.3%). The Tesla and SpaceX boss enthused about the popularity of his poll, saying there were around "1 million votes per hour".

The facetious billionaire does not specify, however, if it is a simple consultation for opinion or if he intends to line up with the vote of Twittos. In another tweet, however, he wrote, in Latin: "The voice of the people is the voice of God." Donald Trump, who liked to use Twitter as a mouthpiece, was followed by more than 88 million subscribers.
"The politics of the new Twitter is freedom of expression, not freedom to achieve" the public, explained Elon Musk on his Twitter account. "Negative or hateful tweets will be downgraded and demonetized, so there will be no back-to-back ads or other revenue for Twitter. You won't find these tweets unless you look for them specifically, which is no different from the rest of the internet.", he added. Twitter seems plunged into an unprecedented crisis on Friday, after hundreds of employees of the group, survivors of the first massive wave of layoffs two weeks ago, decided to leave in response to an ultimatum from the multi-billionaire.
Read alsoTwitter's fate in question after Elon Musk's ultimatum
Elon Musk is also facing concern and criticism from advertisers, analysts and elected officials after many contradictory decisions and positions on the crucial subject of content moderation. The accounts he reinstated on Friday – Kathy Griffin, Jordan Peterson and Babylon Bee – are close to the American left or right. Comedian Kathy Griffin, who had two million subscribers, was suspended from the platform last week, along with other internet users who had changed their username to "Elon Muskto poke fun at the new boss. She had also replaced her profile picture with an image of the billionaire.
The influence of the former wife of Elon Musk
"Twitter accounts that impersonate someone else, without clearly stating that it is a parody, will be permanently suspended", said Elon Musk. Accused of defending freedom of expression except when he is the target of jokes, he also made fun of Kathy Griffin, tweeting: "In fact, she was suspended for posing as a comedian".
"The Babylon Beeis a conservative-leaning American satirical site, suspended from Twitter in March for violating hate speech rules, after a tweet about Rachel Levine, a transgender pediatrician in Joe Biden's government. According to Bloomberg, Elon Musk's ex-wife, Talulah Riley, texted him in the spring, before he announced his plan to acquire the social network, to protest the suspension of Babylon Bee and tricked him into buying Twitter to delete or return it "radically pro freedom of expression".

Building a presence on Instagram takes a lot of time and dedication. It also requires a great deal of strategy. Everything from the types of photos you create to the time of day you post them makes a difference.
There are ways to get a jumpstart on developing a successful account, but knowing and implementing proven strategies will help you reach your online marketing goals.
1. Visually Identify Yourself
Consistent branding is important across social media. Branding is the way in which your followers identify you. It's comprised of a number of components that portray your message and who you are.
Visual branding is achieved through numerous design strategies, from your logo to the stylistic theme of your photos. Try to incorporate visual elements into your bio so that it is instantly recognizable. One of the best ways to accomplish this is to use your company logo as your profile picture.
A logo is a visual representation of your brand and can be used in many ways to create consistency throughout your marketing.
2. Use a Strategic Link
Instagram only allows you to post one link in your bio, so it's imperative that you use it wisely. Consider your marketing goals and the best ways to implement them.
It may make sense to link to the homepage of your website so that your Instagram followers can get a get a general sense of what you have to offer. However, that's not the only option, nor is it the one that may be right for your needs. Perhaps you want to link to a particular landing page that gives more in-depth information about one aspect of your company or that shares a current promotion.
Another option is to link to a specific product page or giveaway URL. The beautiful thing about your bio link is that it can change as needed. A popular strategy is to direct followers through your post to follow a specific link in your bio.
3. Add a Call to Action
Speaking of giving your followers direction, you should do so throughout your content, as well as in your bio. A simple call to action (CTA) will let your audience know what action you'd like them to take. It can also encourage engagement. People generally take well to such gentle suggestions.
It doesn't have to be salesy or over-the-top. Simply add a statement suggesting folks visit a particular page and link it in your bio. You'll probably see a favorable response.
4. Each Word Counts
Another aspect of branding involves the tone you use in your copy. The words you use matter, especially in a limited space such as your Instagram bio. Therefore, be sure to think carefully about how you want to portray your business.
Use a tone that reflects your brand, such as trendy, upbeat, serious, educational or fun. Take time to reflect on your choices to be sure you've written a bio description that fits your brand and tells visitors what they need to know.
5. Include the Most Important Information
Your bio truly is the place where people are likely to go first in order to learn about your business. These days, they often head to Instagram before even Googling a company. Therefore, you absolutely must include the most important information in this space.
There's no room or time for fluff. Visitors will scan this area and get the information they need in an instant. Ask yourself what your most important message is. What's your purpose, and where do you excel? How can you alleviate your customer's pain point? What makes you stand out?
6. Make Your Bio Searchable
Keywords are important even in your Instagram bio. SEO, or search engine optimization, helps search engine visitors to find you. You never know who may come across your profile when searching for what it is you do best.
Including SEO-friendly terms that precisely describe your product or service will get you in front of more eyes, increasing your chances of gaining loyal followers and making sales.
7. Don't Forget the Hashtags
Hashtags are essential to Instagram use. They help users find you, and now you can incorporate them into your bio. That's great news because it sets a precedent the minute a user stumbles upon your account.
You can use popular hashtags that are most relevant to your business to help folks find you, but it's also a good idea to create a custom hashtag just for your business as a means of visible branding.
Placing this custom tag in your bio allows new followers to associate this visual with your brand.
8. Use Whitespace to Your Advantage
As with any copy such as advertising and blog posts, formatting is important in your Instagram bio. People have gotten quite used to scanning online content. They're busy and in a hurry. That's why you want to make it as easy as possible for them to discover your message when viewing your bio.
They should be able to take a quick glimpse at your copy and come away with a general idea of what you're all about. This isn't possible if you try to squeeze your total allotted word count into one long paragraph. Instead, make it gentle on the eyes by breaking things up.
You can whitespace simply by adding extra actual spaces between lines. Asterisks or emojis are also fun ways to give your words a little breathing room, as long as these fit with your brand style. Bulleted lists are always good, as well.
Hopefully, these tips will have you feeling confident and ready to write your own stellar Instagram bio. Taking some extra time, planning and strategy in this area will pay off big in the long run.

Social media can be a fickle place. It's tough to know what's going to be a hit with your audience or what will attract new followers. One thing that seems to be quite popular and shared frequently is humor.
If you can use it strategically and tastefully, there's a good chance these types of posts can really take you far. People love to share funny stuff, and humorous posts are often quick to go viral and helps brands boost their conversions.
To get some pointers, check out these 12 funny brands on Instagram.
1. The Honest Company
The Honest Company is a baby product brand that prides itself on, well, its honesty. Their products are good for the environment and ethically manufactured. Their approach to humor is simple.
Among adorable images of babies and their own products, The Honest Company Instagram feed is sprinkled with inspirational, funny and relatable sayings about parenthood and family. They even throw some inspirational quotes in for good measure. People identify with these sayings and respond favorably to the brand.
Taco Bell takes a novel approach to their Instagram use, and it's proven to work quite well. Their images are colorful and eye-catching, but may not strike you as humorous at first. It's when you take a closer look and read the captions that you're in for a belly laugh.
These one-liners are pithy and succinct, yet usually strike with humor that's relevant to their audience. They go all out with creativity, even soliciting the participation of their followers at times. We can all learn a lot by examining Taco Bell's clever use of captions.
3. Old Spice
Old Spice has sprinted its way to Instagram stardom and social media popularity in general with its hysterical new image. They've rebranded themselves in recent years with wildly beloved television commercials featuring Terry Crews and Isaiah Mustafa.
The brand has springboarded that popularity into their social media campaigns and is quite well-followed on Instagram. Their corny, yet quirky, edge is one that users have come to recognize and to seek in droves.
Old Spice uses video, along with several of Instagram's newest features, to prove they're not afraid of innovation. Don't be afraid to show your true, weird personality if it fits your brand image and audience.
4. Denny's
Denny's is the iconic family restaurant chain that's been around for since the 1950's. If their use of social media is any indication, they're proving to be able to remain current through the decades. Check out their Instagram profile, and you'll see innovative use of the platform's reliance on sharp visuals. They use photoshop to create unusual imagery that makes you do a double-take.
The humor is usually an interplay between the clever graphic and witty caption to provide an experience their followers seem to love. Denny's shows you can push the envelope just enough to remain relevant and tasteful, yet humorous to a wide audience.
5. Arby's
Arby's, the roast beef joint we all know and love, has had a social media turnaround of sorts. They're showing how a brand can truly find and cater to its niche.
Check out their Instagram feed, and you'll see image after image of unique art crafted out of paper to represent pop culture figures. Arby's uses these creations to speak to a very specific audience in ways only they might understand, it's proving to be incredibly well-received. They're going for the "geek" crowd, those who are into anime, science fiction, video games and more.
And it's working! These crowds eat it up, no pun intended, and they seem to love the inside jokes the brand is able to deliver. This just goes to show the ways in which brands must be ready to evolve to meet the needs of their audience.
6. Totino's
You can see Totino's humor before even viewing their content. Just check out their bio, where they list their name as "Pete Zaroll." Get it? Pizza roll! That's funny.
Totino's claim to social media fame is actually their meme game. They pay attention to what's trending with regard to the latest meme and then incorporate their own version of the trends. The results are hilarious and loved by many.
7. Dollar Shave Club
Dollar Shave Club is the afford, quality razor club that everyone seems to be raving about lately. Not only do they offer a popular service, their social media presence is pretty likable, too.

Instagram vs Snapchat: Which Is Better for Business?
Many companies make the mistake of trying to be everywhere at once, when they would get a far better return on investment just by sticking to one or two platforms they know their audience is a part of and doing those well.
Instagram is a free online photo-sharing App and social network platform. it was founded in 2010 and acquired by Facebook in 2012. Users can edit and upload photos and short videos through a mobile app. They can add a caption to each of their posts and use hashtags along with location-based geotags index supposed and make them searchable by other users within the app.
Snapchat, on the other hand, is a mobile app that allows users to send and receive self-destructing photos and videos. Photos and videos taken within the app are called snaps. The nurse can draw or insert text on their snap and determine how many seconds the recipient can review it before the files and Spears. Messages can only be used once and during viewing. The recipient must maintain contact with the device's touch screen or the snap disappears. It was developed in 2011.
In response to Snapchat popularity, both Facebook and Instagram added a similar feature call Stories which disappear from the platform within 24 hours.
So, which one is better for business? Let's take a look at six key areas so you can decide which platform would work better for you.
1. Users and Demographics
Instagram has more than 500 million daily users, with more than one billion monthly active users, and Snapchat on the other hand only has 310.7 million monthly active users and 190 million daily active users.
52% of Instagram users are females, and 42% are male.
110 million Instagram users are from the United States. 43% of American women and 31% of American men use the platform.
37% of adults use Instagram in the United States and the USA has the most number of Instagram users.
32% of all internet users are on Instagram.
31% of Internet users between the ages of 18 and 24 use Instagram and 32% of Internet users between the ages of 25 and 34 use Instagram.
72% of teenagers use Instagram. 35% of us teenagers say Instagram is the preferred social media platform.
An estimated 71% of us businesses are on Instagram as of 2018.
200 million+ Instagrammers visit at least one business profile every day.
130 million Instagram accounts tap on a shopping post to learn more about products every month.
In contrast:
24% of U.S. social media users use Snapchat.
73% of 18 to 24-year-olds in the U.S. use Snapchat
75% of Snapchat users are younger than 34-years-old
90% of Snapchat users are between the ages of 13 and 24-years-old
69% of U.S. teenagers say they use Snapchat
24% of U.S. adults use Snapchat.
61% of Snapchat users are female while 38% are male.
People under the age of 25 use Snapchat for an average of 40 minutes a day.
According to a Facebook survey the most popular topics on Instagram among young adults are food, fashion and Beauty, Hobbies, music, and TV and films. Instagram users tend to follow celebrities, get do-it-yourself inspiration and look at Travel photos.
Research shows that 71% of Snapchat users use it only or mostly for peer-to-peer messaging. 60% of the interactions on Snapchat are made between close friends. 46% of Snapchat users in the United States don't use Instagram.
2. Content Types
Instagram posts are usually polished and high-resolution photos while Snaps are generally unedited and raw.
Stories are available on both platforms. They can either be images or videos. Besides Stories, images and videos are the other types of content available on both platforms. But, they are displayed differently between the two.
Images and videos are published as posts on Instagram and snaps on Snapchat. Unless your Instagram account is private, posts are public. Snaps are mostly private between two accounts.
Instagram posts can be square, vertical, or horizontal. Snaps are usually a vertical because they are displayed in full screen.
Instagram posts remain on your profile in your feed but snaps disappear after 24 hours.
When it comes to Instagram Stories, people are beginning to post more unedited content there than they would in their feeds.
3. Engagement Rates
Comparing engagement levels between the two platforms is a bit tricky because the forms of engagement across the two are different. On Instagram, people like, comment, and watch a video. On Snapchat people view a snap and reply privately.
It's impossible to compare engagement levels as a whole but it is worth looking at the engagement level of Stories because Stories are on both platforms and similar and how they behave.
A report from TechCrunch indicates the businesses are seeing higher engagement rates with Instagram Stories than Snapchat Stories.
Analyzing 21,500 Snapchat Stories found that the average unique viewers per Snapchat Stories fell about 40% in 2016 after Instagram launched their Stories. The Amplify Influencer Community saw 28% higher view rates for Instagram Stories than Snapchat Stories.
4. Discoverability
It will be easier for people to discover your brand on Instagram. It's important to look at three areas in regards to discoverability: your profile, engagement, and user-generated content.
On Instagram, you have a public profile that shows your follower count and all of your posts. Instagram suggests profiles to follow and curates relevant content in the Discover tab which helps people find you.
With Snapchat, your profile can only be viewed by friends and people who have added you. There's not a lot of information on your Snapchat profile because the snaps at Stories you post disappear after 24 hours.
With Instagram, likes and comments on your post can be seen by everyone. Direct messages can only be seen by you.
On Snapchat, there's not a lot of room for engagement because only you can see who has replied to your snaps or Stories.
When it comes to user-generated content, on Instagram, people, including yourself can find any post that mentions you. People can discover your profile through hashtags and @mentions. Because of this, user-generated content is a common marketing strategy on Instagram because it can help you grow your account and increase your reach.
Comparatively, on Snapchat, snaps or Stories and it's in your brand can only be seen by the friends of the person who posted them.
Your brand is more discoverable on Instagram than on Snapchat. This is wonderful if you want to raise brand Awareness on social media and use social proof to build your brand. That said, there are many brands who prefer the privacy of Snapchat because it allows them to build more meaningful one-to-one relationships with their followers.
When it comes to ads, both platforms offer powerful targeting options along with several ad formats. Instagram launched its advertising platform in late 2015 and since then has seen the number of businesses that advertise on the platform growth over a million. Because Instagram is part of Facebook, these businesses have been easily able to create Instagram ads through the Facebook ad manager.
In the beginning, Snapchat advertising used to be fairly inaccessible for most businesses. Other than using SnapChat geofilters, businesses that wanted to advertise on Snapchat had to purchase ads from Snapchat ad partners which were often cost-prohibitive. Earlier this year, Snapchat launched its self-serve Snapchat ad manager to make it easy for businesses to run ads on Snapchat themselves.
Using either of the ad manager as you can easily create a target audience for your ads based on factors such as behaviors, interests and demographics. You can also reach people using your own data such as people who have interacted with your business and the platform's data such as users who look like your customers.
Both platforms offer a variety of ad formats. with Instagram, you can run ads in feeds, ads in Stories, or boost your existing posts. With Snapchat, you can run snap ads, use geofilters or lenses.
The ability to measure and analyze your social media performance allows you to improve your social media marketing efforts. Instagram natively provides business profiles with Instagram Insights which is an in-app analytics platform for posts, Stories, ads, and followers.
Snapchat, on the other hand, does not provide any analytics data except for ads and many marketers have been left to track their Snapchat marketing activity manually.
There are a number of third-party tools and free Instagram analytics options available such as Union Metrics, Keyhole, and Websta.
When you go looking for Snapchat analytics tools, there are fewer to choose from and they aren't free. Snaplytics, one of the most popular Snapchat analytics tools costs $19 per month per Snapchat account for very basic metrics such as completion rate, screenshots, and views.
Just by looking at this comparison, it's clear that Instagram seems to be the better choice. However, it's important to consider which platform your target audience prefers. If you are targeting students, young adults and teenagers, it may be more effective to reach them on Snapchat rather than Instagram.
And because a huge percentage of Snapchat users aren't on Instagram, being on Snapchat could be the only way to reach them.

A Step-by-Step Guide to Instagram Creator Studio
It's finally here! the new Instagram Creator Studio is designed to help you manage all of your Instagram posts, get insights from your desktop, monetize your content and more.
Before now, Creator Studio was only available for Facebook pages.
Using the new Instagram Creator Studio, content creators get access to a variety of new features and tools, including the ability to schedule their IGTV videos.
Here's what you need to know about how to use the Instagram Creator Studio.
What is the Instagram Creator Studio?
In late 2017, Facebook launched its Facebook Creator app and Facebook for Creators website to help influencers and content creators manage their presence on Facebook. In August 2018, Facebook announced the launch of the Creator Studio which gave creators the ability to manage and publish content for Facebook.
In December 2018, Facebook said they were testing a new Instagram Creator feature that would allow users to access flexible profile controls, simplified messaging and additional growth tools.
Facebook has now incorporated Instagram into Creator Studio so that creators can post, manage, measure and monetize content across their Facebook Pages and Instagram accounts.
Facebook has recently discontinued the creator app, but the Creator studio is still available on desktop.
"Creator" refers to anyone who creates and publishes original content to Facebook or Instagram. A Facebook press release says one of their biggest goals is to help their creators earn money from the content they create through the support of fans, brand collaborations, and ad revenue.
Though the tool is fairly limited in terms of analytics, team collaboration, and visual planning, it is still useful For those who have already optimized their overall Instagram strategy.
1. Connect Your Instagram Account to Creator Studio
Before you can manage posts, see your Instagram analytics, or publish Instagram content from your desktop, you must link your Instagram account to the Creator Studio.
Before you get started, make sure you have an Instagram account and Facebook Page that your Instagram is connected to. if you haven't already done so, switch your Instagram account to a business profile or Creator account.
Open Creator Studio on your desktop. Click the Instagram icon at the top of the page. The next steps depend on the relationship between your Instagram accounts and Facebook Pages.
If you manage a Facebook page that's already connected to the Instagram account you want to use in Creator Studio, click to connect to that page.
If you're not already managing a Facebook page that's connected to an Instagram account, click connect to Instagram. Then follow the on-screen instructions to log into the Instagram account you want to connect.
if you manage a Facebook page this connected to an Instagram account, but want to use a different Instagram account you do not see listed, click "Connect another Instagram Account" and follow the on-screen instructions.
If you have multiple Instagram accounts that are already connected to your Facebook pages and you want to manage them in Creator Studio, click "Continue with Connected Accounts."
Once someone has connected to an Instagram account and Creator Studio, anyone else with a roll on the Facebook page connected to that account will automatically have access to it in Creator Studios Instagram section so this is good for Instagram accounts that are shared by multiple people for an organization.
after you complete the steps to connect your Instagram to Creator Studio, you'll automatically get access to the new Instagram tools in the platform.
2. Manage Your Instagram Content Using the Instagram Content Library
The Content Library tab in Creator Studio provides you with an overview of all your Instagram videos, photos, stories, carousel, and IGTV posts.
Use the search bar to find content quickly or use the filters to organize the content by your post status or date.
You also have the option to click any of the items on your list to get a more detailed view of the content and its performance.
This includes inside and how many people have seen the post and how they've interacted with it. You'll also be able to see what actions people have taken when engaging with the post.
Generally speaking, you'll see the same individual post analytics that you would see within the native Instagram app. However, Creator studio is lacking when it comes to evaluating your content as a whole.
The information you see when clicking on an item in your Content Library will vary depending on the type of post you click on. You'll see different information about a story you posted compared to the information you see about a video you posted.
3. Post Content
One of the greatest things about Instagram's Creative Studio is that it adds publishing tools for both Instagram feed posts and IGTV. Creators now have a unified place to manage their presence across both Instagram and Facebook.
To use it to manage your own content, all you have to do is click "Create Post" in the top left of the page. You should see options for both the Instagram Feed and IGTV.
The publishing flow very slightly between Instagram posts and IGTV videos. Let's start with Instagram posts.
Select "Instagram Feed." A window opens on the right of the screen where you can upload your image, or images if you're making a carousel post. You also be able to write your caption and add a location. If desired, you can crop your images to different dimensions.
Once you're happy with the post, click the down arrow located beside of the publish button and select "Schedule."
From here, you'll see a calendar and time settings box. All you have to do is add the day and time you'd like your post to go live on. when you're happy with that setting, press the schedule button. The Creator Studio will publish your photos to your feed at the selected time.
IGTV Videos
At this time, IGT videos are not included in the Instagram API so no third party platforms are currently available to schedule or publish IGTV videos, Making Creator Studio the best option right now.
From the Instagram dashboard, press the "Create" button in the top left-hand corner of your screen and select "IGTV."
A new window appears on the right side of your screen where you'll be able to upload a video, add titles and captions. You also set the time you want your video to go live.
You can either upload a video from your computer or choose the video that already exists on your Instagram profile. If you're uploading from your computer, you will need to choose an MP4 file.
You cannot upload a .MOV file, which is a problem if you save your Instagram Stories to your camera roll. You'll need to upload them from your phone to your computer and convert them to MP4 if you want to use them with Creator Studio.
After it has been uploaded you can add all of the video details. You can also choose your IGTV cover image.
Take time to set your publishing settings. Decide if you want to share a one minute preview to your Instagram feed. This is a great chance to get more people looking at your videos, boost engagement and drive even more traffic to your channel so it's worth it in most cases.
Select the "Share preview to feed Button" if you're ready to share a preview on your feed. You also have the option to schedule your igtIGTV video to your Facebook Page too. Just select the "Your Page" button to do it.
Once you're ready to schedule your "IGTV" video, click the down arrow beside the publish button and select "Schedule." From here you'll see a calendar and time settings box so you can add the time and the day you'd like your post to go live on. You can schedule your videos up to six months in advance.
Once you're happy with the date and time, press the schedule button and you are good to go. Your video will publish to your feed when the time comes.
If you want to take a look at your scheduled posts and IGTV videos in the Content Library, click the "Scheduled" heading in "Post Status."
4. Track Your Instagram Insights
The last thing you can do within Creator Studio is look at your Insights to help you understand your audience and how people are interacting with your content. Creator Studio only collects insights from the past 7 days and only at the account level. Other Instagram analytics platforms provide you with up to 3 months worth of data.
You can see the activity at the post level and get audience insights with information about your followers such as their age range, location, and gender.
Instagram's Creator studio is a wonderful tool for creators to manage their presence and engage their fans.

Have You Ever Felt Like You Saved Someone's Life?
If you see someone, be it a friend or a stranger, who is being attacked would you come to their assistance or look the other way?
In 1985 an incident occurred that forced me to answer this question. My partner and I were going out on a Saturday night. We were planning to go to a Country & Western bar on Colfax Ave. in Denver called "Charlie's". As we drove up Broadway and past the SouthTowne Lumber Company (another bar) a man came running across the street in front of us as he was being chased by 3 men with baseball bats. My partner locked the brakes and we stopped. I opened the front door and slid over to the middle of the seat so the terrified man could get in.
His face was bloodied and his arm looked broken because it appeared a bone was trying to poke through the skin. As we drove him to Denver General Hospital he recounted what happened.
He said he walked out the front door of the bar when he was approached by 3 guys who were verbally abusive with name calling and threatening body movements. As he walked toward his car behind the building the men began to chase him. He was knocked down and beaten with the bats. He got to his feet and they allowed him to have a head start so they could have the fun of chasing him down again. This is when he ran out in front of our car. The bat-wielding men struck our car's rear fender as we fled.
When we arrived at the Hospital Emergency Room there was a Policeman stationed there. While the victim was taken back and examined we spoke with the officer and told him what had happened. The officer's reaction was predictable but shocking non the less.
The officer said we could not lodge a complaint because we had not been harmed. We tried to get him to come out to look at our car. He refused and said the damage could have been done anytime before any attack. He asked us why we wanted to stir up a can of worms by making wild accusations. He said our "friend" was getting the medical attention he needed and we should be happy he wasn't more seriously injured. We told him we had never met the man before that night and even though we helped him he wasn't our friend before this incident. He said it would be better if we just took our friend home and not try to make any trouble. I became very irritated and started demanding the officer call a supervisor to come settle the dispute. He asked me "Are you really SURE you want to do that?" At this point my partner pulled me back and we went outside where he calmed me down and reminded me we couldn't win every battle and we had to choose which ones we fought wisely and obviously this officer was warning us this was one fight we couldn't win.
I capitulated and went to wait in the car. Some time much later my partner and the injured man returned. We took him back to the bar and I drove his car home for him. He lived only a few blocks from where this all happened. His name was James and he was a very beautiful man. His face was lacerated from the pavement he had been pushed down on. His left arm was in a cast and his eyes were starting to swell and soon he would have both eyes blackened by bruises.
He disappeared out of our lives a few days later. He never reported the attack. No one was ever charged with the attack. The officer was never charged with dereliction of duty because I was too afraid to force the issue.

Discussion in 'Apple Music, Apple Pay, iCloud, Apple Services' started by xerenthar, Jun 30, 2015.
i am persistently getting an error downloading two specific songs on an album. is anyone else getting an error message that songs "could not be downloaded at this time?"
the songs in question are "best friends" and "money all around" by the band HOLYCHILD on the album "the shape of brat pop to come." can anyone else see if they can download these?
I'm getting the same error and so is my husband (we're on family share) for different songs. I'm trying to make my playlist available offline and keep getting this crap for the last two days. I had started the playlist last week and it's been fine, but I added a bunch of sings to it and now this. Called support yesterday and they have no idea.
I had the same issue and reported to Apple. I wasted 45 minutes was escalated twice on the call.
Just be careful with the 'use Cellular Data' selection is not active in case you don't want to allow downloads over cellular network.

De Alexander Hamilton Bridge is een stalen boogbrug in New York tussen The Bronx en het noordeinde van Manhattan. Ze voert de Trans-Manhattan Expressway, een deel van de Interstate 95, die vanaf de George Washington Bridge over de Hudson 1,3 mijl van west naar oost door de wijk Washington Heights voert, met 2 keer 4 rijstroken sinds 1963 over de rivier de Harlem om zo in The Bronx over te gaan in de Cross Bronx Expressway.

De brug was een onderdeel van het masterplan uit de jaren vijftig ontwikkeld door Robert Moses voor de verbinding van de Trans-Manhattan en Cross-Bronx Expressways. De brug wordt beheerd en onderhouden door het New York State Department of Transportation. De brug onderging een grondige renovatie van 2009 tot 2014 voor 407 miljoen dollar door een consortium van China State Construction Engineering en Halmar International.

De brug eert Alexander Hamilton, naar wie ook het voormalig douanekantoor Alexander Hamilton U.S. Custom House in Lower Manhattan werd genoemd. Hamilton was New Yorker en een van de founding fathers van de Verenigde Staten met dat hij een van de medeondertekenaars was van de Grondwet van de Verenigde Staten en, als vertrouweling van George Washington, de eerste  Amerikaanse minister van Financiën van het land.
