This is a 2 day class and highly recommended for anyone that feels they are their family's first responder. More details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/events/2125331891027942/ * Des Moines, WA: Highline College, a community college is in lockdown after reports of gunfire. Police are on scene and evacuating buildings. Developing story, more as it becomes available. * Washington, DC: 13 Russian nationals 3 Russian entities have been indicted by a federal grand jury for interfering in U.S. elections. The announcement came from the office of Robert Mueller. "They are accused of spreading derogatory information about Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, denigrating Republican candidates Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio -- and supporting Democratic candidate Bernie Sanders and then-Republican candidate Donald Trump." * Parkland, FL: -UPDATE- The FBI failed to investigate a specific report from this past January. A person close to the shooter called the FBI and provided information on his identity, location, guns owned, disturbing social media posts and his desire to kill people specifically his potential of a school shooting. The FBI has said that the tip should have been investigated and protocols were not followed. –UPDATE END- 17 are confirmed dead, 13 more wounded from the shooting yesterday at a High School. There were many warning signs that this individual was unstable. This person was expelled from the school even. It is now known that he posted that "Im going to be a professional school shooter" and that information was given to the FBI 6 months ago. The FBI apparently didn't have enough information to investigate. [Ed] This is not a condemnation of the FBI though. The responsibility of this heinous act lies solely with the perpetrator and partially on the shoulders of a society that is fueling these attacks. * Rio de Janeiro, Brazil: The Brazilian government has placed the military in charge of security for the state of Rio de Janeiro in response to gang violence that has spiraled out of control since Rio carnival. During the annual festival that makes Rio famous, gun fights erupted, looting was widespread and violent clashes erupted that claimed the lives of 3 police officers. -Warnings/ Advisories (NOAA) * Wind Advisory: Modoc County FTX Weather – San Leandro – Feb 17-18 * Sunrise - 0701hrs.

This is leading to a meeting between Pro-Assad, YPG and the Russians on how to counter the Turkish offensive. Eastern Syria: Some airstrikes from U.S. coalition forces. Damascus, Syria: No new news. –END UPDATE- [Thursday] Eastern Syria: U.S. led Coalition warplanes led airstrikes over the town of Hajin. In Tabiyah Jazeera, an explosion at a warehouse killed 23 people. It might have been weapons depot and it seems in addition to the casualties there were also 15 Russian "security staff" killed. The cause of the explosion is currently unknown. U.S. troops have mobilized to CONOCO fields after receiving information that and attack by pro-Assad militias is imminent. * Northern Syria: All out battles continue with Turkish forces using rockets and artillery as well as attack helicopters to hit any target they believe to be YPG militia. This has led to an increase in civilian casualties and deaths. YPG militia members are now dressing in civilian attire to try to make it more difficult for the Turkish spotters and intelligence. Turkey also brought in M60 U.S. made battle tanks as well as currently are bringing a large military convoy into Idlib to fight YPG. FSA is working with the Turks and has captured numerous villages now from YPG forces. In contrast, the citizens of many towns that are being attacked are marching in resistance to the Turkish offensive. Along with all of this, Russian AF is also running airstrikes against towns and villages, their targets are not as clear, meaning it doesn't appear they are targeting YPG or any specific group. Syrian government is calling on Turkey to implement a de-escalation zone in N. Homs and S. Hama. * Damascus, Syria: Shelling and airstrikes are hitting mostly residential areas in the eastern suburbs where anti-government rebels backed by the U.S. are making a stand. A tunnel being used by Government forces to infiltrate into the eastern suburbs was discovered and blown up. [Wednesday] The Pro-Assad government has warned Israel of 'more surprises'. The comment comes after managing to shoot down an Israeli F16 over the weekend. That was the first Israeli warplane shot down in many years. Shelling continues to hit eastern Damascus, hammering supposed rebel positions but creating mostly civilian casualties, no new numbers available for today. At Dahar AlGhozat in the north (Turkish invasion area) Turkish backed rebels attacked ISIS positions in Idlib creating a large number of casualties and forcing them south to engage with and ultimately surrender to the FSA. The Free Syrian Army (FSA – created at the beginning of the Syrian Civil War, started as a group of officers that left the Syrian armed forces and created the FSA with the goal of bringing down the government of Assad.) killed double digits of ISIS fighters and then forced a surrender of hundreds of ISIS fighters. Afrin/ Northern Syria: Turkish air strikes an artillery continue to hit Afrin as small arm engagements around the suburbs between Turkish and YPG forces continue. 3 rockets hit an Afrin hospital killing one civilian and wounding many. New information is reporting that Turkish airpower destroyed a YPG held 135th Brigade base outside of Afrin. The Turkish forces and FSA appear to be working together attacking ISIS as well as YPG positions across the north with Turkish airpower providing support. The Turks continue to roll armor into the northern Syria. At Tabiyah, Eastern Syria: This is a new front that we have not been reporting on but it is heating up quickly. A U.S. Reaper drone destroyed a Russian T-72 battle tank as Russian mercenary and pro-Assad forces fired on U.S. Special Forces and allied Syrian fighters. No U.S. or allied casualties, the three member tank crew was killed. There are multiple reports of skirmishes in this area involving ground troops supported by armor or artillery. U.S. led airstrikes, mostly drones, have hit artillery installations as well as possible other Russian tanks besides the one listed above. The only casualties being reported so far are about 5-7 additional Russian mercenaries (yes that is what we are calling them…but in all likely-hood they are Russian Special Forces playing the opposite roll of U.S. SF). [Monday] The man who will not die, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi is being reported as alive after being wounded in an airstrike. Baghdadi is the current leader of ISIS. An Iraqi official and the Iraqi intelligence and counterterrorism department is claiming to have information and documents from sources inside ISIS that prove Baghdadi is being treated in a field hospital in northeastern Syria. * The UN is making an urgent plea to all parties involved in Syria, noting that the worst fighting of the entire conflict has occurred in the last couple of weeks since the United Nations called for a month-long ceasefire. Meanwhile fighting, including street to street continues in eastern suburbs of Damascus with the Syrian Airforce launching more airstrikes and Artillery also pounding the area in support of the pro-Assad forces. In northern Syria the Turkish advance continues with airstrikes as well as helicopter sorties striking mostly villages and towns believed to hold Kurdish YPG Militia elements. Israel has increased its airstrikes inside Syria after Saturday. On Saturday, Iranian forces sent a drone into occupied Golan Heights. Israel shot down the drone and then sent warplanes to attack Iranian Command & Control bases inside Syria where the drone was launched from. One Israeli f16 was shot down during the attack. Israel has continued launching strikes targeting Iranian and Hezbollah forces to ensure that they do not get a foothold of power in Syria. - CA Firearms Laws: * Same tyranny as yesterday …It's going to get worse… * There is a movement boiling up, that recognizes that mass shootings started at a particular time in this Country, which recognizes that the problem is not guns but social… This is not the easy path. The easy path is to ban an inanimate object. In fact, certain powers want this so badly that they manipulate the numbers and stats and prey upon the emotions to move the needle and assault the Rights of legal citizens. To find the ailment and adjust it is much more difficult. Even if we find and know what it is, it will be a struggle, perhaps even a war to make the change necessary to re-establish safety in Our country. If industries such as Facebook want to remove fake news, they need to ban groups like "Everytown for Gun safety" until they adjust their propaganda to be facts. The amount of propaganda being spewed by groups and news companies that can be debated or even debunked with minimal research is at an all-time high. The truth now matters less than the message and the end goal. We see this literally every day from Facebook to our news sources to our local, state and federal elected representatives. We need to get rid of "Gun Free Zones" because that is where all the mass shooters go…when was the last time a mass shooter went to a gun range, gun show, police station ect? They don't, they look for places where we remove all protections and expect rules and signs to defend citizens… Anti-2A folks always ask me "what if it were your child's school, your child killed?" Oh, I'd blame the shooter…and every coward that wouldn't allow individuals to protect themselves with the one proven thing that stops a shooter… another person with a gun. We have been saying for years now that "Gun Free Zones" don't protect our children. Because after every shooting when every single anti-gun person comes to us and says "You have blood on your hands, what are you going to do about it!" we offer the suggestion to put armed people into the schools. Arm the teachers that want to train and carry. Allow Vets to train and carry on campus. Allow more individual citizens to carry concealed. Yes they all need to be trained and most gun folks I know agree that training is essential and do as much as they can. That is a dark place for me; yes I control that daily fear of my children at school… I try to convince those that would listen that we need more than a sign. Any person that steals a firearm or uses a firearm to commit a crime needs to be severely punished. Yet in California, the State government has lowered the crime of stealing a firearm to a misdemeanor…How does this help? What message does this send? These are the things that we need to change again. The problem is our society…more and more people are waking up to this. More and more realize that Freedom doesn't mean do whatever you want, freedom means responsibility for yourself and those around you. The American Way is not majority rules and every individual gets special Rights. The American way is Liberty, justice and equality for all. Do not allow the horns of doom to sway you. Stand for your rights or lose them for yourself and every generation to come… Thought of the day: See above Keep your head on a swivel and stay safe -DeltaWhiskey http://www.cal-militia.com/contact-us.html


In case you're feeling mighty proud of your new 75 Mbps LTE connectivity we have some bittersweet news for you. A South Korean carrier is looking to launch LTE-A by the end of this year, with a connection capable of handling 300 Mbps.
While most of the world still has issues when it comes to broadband distribution and cell phone connectivity, certain countries in Asia are years ahead and among them is South Korea.
SK Telecom promises it will launch a version of LTE-Advanced that uses 3 distinct bands combining two 10 MHz bands and one 20 MHz band and achieving speeds of up to 300 Mbps. That pretty much puts to shame everyone else including many broadband providers.
Before folks can start using the service, the company will work with OEMs and chip manufacturers to implement a global standard of the technology, a step that's supposed to be finished by the end of the year.
And before you get too excited about that download speed, note that the carrier will be showcasing speeds of up to 450 Mbps at Mobile World Congress in February.
Now the only question remaining is how long we'll have to wait until we see such tech in our part of the woods.

Health & Wellness At Piper's Landing
Through our automated ProGuide3 , thousands of avid golfers identify "Health and Wellness" as a major factor in determining their ideal golf club community in the Sun Belt. The Membership & Marketing Coordinator at Piper's Landing Yacht & Country Club talks about the commitment to a better "you" at this Palm City, Florida, club.
Piper's Landing Yacht & Country Club on Health and Welness
Piper's Landing Yacht & Country Club, in Palm City, Florida, provides all the amenities you'd expect from a luxury country club in a neighborhood with only 302 residences, nestled among 600 acres of lush, natural preserve areas.
The club's new, 3,300-square-foot Lifestyle Center features state-of-the art cardio and fitness equipment, aerobics, zumba and yoga classes.
In a relaxing atmosphere, members also can unwind by letting the club's Professional Massage Therapist pamper them with one of the offered massages.
Among the thousands of Golf Life Navigators' ProGuide3 questionnaires that have been completed by potential new club members, the importance of Health and Wellness is among the top reasons they've identified in looking for a new club in the Sun Belt. So we asked Pegi Austin, the Membership & Marketing Coordinator at Piper's Landing, to discuss the commitment that the club has made to helping its members enjoy a healthier lifestyle.
Q. How has Piper's Landing made a commitment to promoting Health and Wellness?
A. Piper's Landing did a major clubhouse renovation in 2016, which included adding a new Lifestyle Center with state-of-the-art cardio and weight equipment and a separate room for fitness classes such as aerobics, Zumba and yoga. In addition, we have a Massage Therapist who gives a wide range of massages.
Q. What are some of the specifics of the equipment you have in the fitness center/area?
A. All of our equipment is provided by Life Fitness. We have top-of-the line treadmills, ellipticals, stationary bikes and a row machine. Our most impressive piece of equipment is our SYNRGY360. Our weighted machines range from cables, leg press, chest press, vertical ab machine and free weight plates.
Q. Was this commitment one that you recognized needed to be made, as the public has become more attuned to overall good health?
A. Yes. We realized that a fitness center was needed as prospects that came in to tour the club would ask if our amenities included a fitness center. We also realized that our members were leaving the property to work out. Fitness is now a way of life for many people.
Q. Are there ways that you promote Health and Wellness through the various menu options you offer?
A. Absolutely. Our Executive Chef has added many heart-healthy options to our menus. A number of different, delicious salad options have been added, as well. Weight Watchers recipes are also a new addition to our menus. Anyone with dietary issues can contact our Chef to customize their meal.
Q. Are there particular ways that you promote Health and Wellness to Club members age 60 and over?
A. Yes. Some of the most recent seminars we've covered are: fall prevention, Meditation/low impact stress relief and heart disease. Along with the seminars, we offer CPR/AED courses and our personal trainers offer Post Rehab/Pre Surgery Cardiovascular program for members preparing for upcoming heart surgery or those in the final stages of rehab after heart surgery.

Restocked; double LP version. "Around ten years ago, deep into a cozy and hazy night following a concert with my sound brothers Daniel O'Sullivan and Kristoffer Rygg in London (as Æthenor), they graciously introduced me to a recording of rudra veena (a kind of noble deeper bass relative to the sitar, in a way) as performed by dhrupad master Zia Mohiuddin Dagar. Dhrupad, for those who do not know, is a branch of Hindustani classical music said to 'show the raga in its clearest and purest form'. It's pacing concentrates heavily on the slow, contemplative alap section and works with specific microtonal gestures and deep characteristics of resonance . . . In early 2015 I was able to make contact with Zia Mohiuddin Dagar's son Bahauddin and some of his American students/disciples, primarily Jeff Lewis. Over time we developed a friendly and educational exchange, access to a massive archive of recordings and developed these two paired titles for my label . . . I'm proud to be able to reveal these to date unreleased archival recordings of one of the masters of dhrupad, Z. M. Dagar, to the public for the first time. Zia Mohiuddin Dagar was the nineteenth generation in a family tradition known as Dagar gharana, a rich lineage which continued and performed the musical form of dhrupad. Initially, dhrupad was a rigorous, austere, devotional genre that was sung in Hindu temples. But between the 16th and the 18th centuries, it became the preeminent genre in royal courts in North and Central India, and the Dagar gharana developed and continued publicly following the eventual loss of court patronage for dhrupad in the 19th century. The French ethnomusicologist Renaud Brizard covers the story of Zia Mohiuddin Dagar's life and teaching (a long story also in Seattle, my hometown!), the Dagar family and gharana, the rudra veena and more topics in an extensive set of liner notes in this release. Ragas Abhogi & Vardhani were recorded in a private house concert in Seattle at the home of the Benegals in March 1986 (the week before the accompanying release, Raga Yaman (SOMA 029CD/LP), was recorded). The Benegals were friends (and Shantha Benegal was also a student) of Dagarsahib who sometimes hosted Hindustani music concerts in their home. It's a rare glimpse of a more intimate, personal and perhaps different kind of performance considering the form of dhrupad." --Stephen O'Malley, March 2018, Paris, France Mastered and cut by Rashad Becker at Dubplates & Mastering.

Shania Twain's New Music Series 'Real Country' Announces Premiere Date, Celebrity Guests
Wendy Hermanson Published: August 16, 2018
Chris Trotman, Getty Images
Real Country, an upcoming country music singing competition executive produced by and featuring Shania Twain, is ready to find its next Nashville star—and the series now has a premiere date, as well as a slate of celebrity guests who will be spicing up the program.
The eight-episode series will debut on USA Network Nov. 13 at 10PM ET—and in addition to its A-list judges Twain, Jake Owen and Travis Tritt, it will additionally feature guest appearances from Trace Adkins, Wynonna Judd, Big & Rich and a special appearance by the legendary Willie Nelson.
The series will put Twain, Owen and Tritt to work judging the merits of up-and-coming solo artists, duos and groups all competing to show their prowess performing in a variety of country music-based genres.
Each week will spotlight one of the aforementioned special guests alongside the judging panel (more are set to be announced soon), until things wind down and a winner is picked in the grand finale.
The overall general concept of the show is nothing new, of course, but is unique in its laser-focus on country music talent. The last such program was Nashville Star, which ran from 2003-2008 and also on the USA Network for its first five seasons; that program boasted such illustrious alumni as Miranda Lambert, Chris Young and Kacey Musgraves.
Country music is well represented on other popular all-genre reality singing competitions. American Idol, which previously featured Keith Urban, now has Luke Bryan as a judge, and Blake Shelton is a longtime coach on The Voice. Both shows have a variety of prominent winners and runners-up in the country genre, with Idol's Carrie Underwood the biggest standout.

which in conjunction with gunboats lying off the prolongation fo the lines afford ample security.
On the east beach the mill has been surrounded with abatis, loop-holed, and otherwise arranged so as to be serviceable for an against musketry and field artillery. The swamp to the front and left has been dikes and overflowed across the approaches leading in west of the swamp. A breast-height has been thrown, embrasure for one gun (12-pounder field howitzer), and flanked by rifle trenches. A line of abatis runs from this point to the cotton-press, the 8-foot fence around which is loop-holed for a rifle trench and platformed for another tier of musketry. The brick wall forming part of the north side has been loop-holed and embrasure for one gun (12-pounder howitzer), which bears up the line of railroad. Abatis connects this point with the rebel Ex-Senator Mallory's house, now the headquarters of Colonel Wilson, the fence around which is loop-holed and trenched, and a gun (12-pounder field howitzer) placed in position on the northeast corner, which flanks the abatis to the east, and also the line of the abatis running up to the redoubt. A stockade crosses the road leading into the town past Colonel Wilson's headquarters.
The redoubt is built on the site of the old Spanish fort San Miguel, an eminence which commands the town and vicinity; is a half bastion, with flanks and wings running back to meet the abatis on each side; is furnished with two 30-pounder Parrott rifles, one 10-pounder Parrott rifle, two 12-pounder field howitzers, and two roomy magazines; is closed at the gorge and flanked by its own fire as well as that from positions occupied within the lines. Abatis runs from this point to the plateau on the west of the town, where another work has been thrown up, commanding the Mobile approaches, and consisting of a ditch and breast-height embrasure for four 12-pounder field howitzers. There is also at this point a battery of two mountain howitzers, to be used as required. From this point to the west beach the line consists of abatis, swamps, and rifle trenches, and is throughout its whole extent arranged for a close flank fire of musketry.
The Fifteenth Maine Regiment now holds the east of the town as far as the cotton-press, which is garrisoned by three companies of the Sixth Regiment New York Volunteers. Colonel Wilson's headquarters are held by two companies of the Sixth; the Lyon house, just northward and within the lines, by one company of the Sixth. There is here a battery of two mountain howitzers, to be used as required. The Hyer house, just in rear of the redoubt, is held by one company of the Sixth. Two companies of the Ninety-first New York are camped between this point and the redoubt, and one company of the Sixth garrisons the redoubt. Four companies of the Ninety-first hold the work on the Mobile plateau, and four companies of the same regiment are quartered on the lines by the bay in the southwest part of the town. My own company, mounted, with a battery of four Napoleon guns, occupies the center of the town.

Paso Socompa, the ideal route for our chubby wheeled machines. Promising a tough and uncompromising ride across a lonely and relatively unexplored landscape. The beauty of the route, as we found out, is that there are plenty of opportunities to ride your own ride. Guilherme at Bbikes in San Pedro offloaded us with a bunch of maps, affirming as well that the ride would be the path least traveled across the border and into the Argentinian Puna.
We left San Pedro early, hoping to avoid the scorching midday heat. After our farewells with Carlos we cruised down the asphalt towards Peine where we planned to camp out for the night. A route like Socompa requires pretty diligent water rationing so despite our early arrival in Peine we decided it best to stay near a water source for the night. Putting on my best "tired cyclist" face I asked a local mine worker for a spot to pitch up. He immediately brought us to his backyard and told us to "Disfruta en su casa" (relax in your house).
In the morning we loaded up with all the water our bikes could handle and set off. From Peine things began to change. The flat landscape started to develop bumps which got larger and larger. Eventually we found ourselves undulating and twisting through rolling hills comprised of volcanic rock. While the Socompa pass may not be a monster in terms of its measly 3900m elevation, Socompa itself is most definitely a monster. And climbing up to the pass, it's 6,200m peak absolutely dominated the skyline. It's an absolutely beautiful setting for possibly the most uneventful and boring border on earth. Rocking up, it felt like a wild west frontier town with creaking metal and wooded signs to boot. On the Chilean side it wasn't all that difficult to find the Carabineros (Police station), but once on the Argentinian side we went from abandoned building to abandoned building trying to find the border post.
Finally we saw a more lived in structure and knocked on the door. We were greeted by a very unofficial looking official who beckoned us inside. Business here was conducted very slowly, as if it had to be savored. After all, it might very well be another 4 months until another person passed through. 45 minutes later, after much small talk and friendly conversation, our passports had finally been stamped. We had also been offered a hot shower, some bread, and a building to sleep in. The offer was so enticing we couldn't turn it down. We were left to the privacy of our own little home for the night.
The following day the scenery transformed once again. We were finally in the Puna, surrounded by the wonderfully contrasted colours which make it so legendary and unique. Rolling sandy mountains of all colours, and roads which seemed to change hues every few kilometers. Unfortunately my camera battery died near Salar de Arizaro and I was committed to documenting one of the most beautiful areas with Gina's point and shoot, mostly unsuccessfully. The wind was absolutely mental, but luckily to our backs most of the time. On occasion it would cross to our side and almost blow us off our bikes. From here until Tolar Grande, this is the type of wind we experienced. 80km/h and usually pushing us in full force towards our destination. Our next crossing headed back to Chile will surely be a very different experience.
While I can't say for sure how "unridden" it truly is, neither the Chilean nor Argentinian border guards could remember the last time someone had ridden through. This is the kind of route where you might see a tire track, and it could well have been from 8 months ago. It's definitely an interesting and challenging option if you're looking to get off the beaten track.
Velofreedom, Theridesouth, and Andes by bike are all great resources for route info. Also, if you're passing through San Pedro go chat with Guilherme at Bbikes for more good tips! Read our route information below for some quick observations and shortcut ideas.
GPX track can be obtained here.
We rode from San Pedro to Tolar Grande in 5 moderate days, mostly tailwind, travelling light.
145k: Water at Pozo no. 6, from the Pozo walk towards the building and you'll see a pipe dripping water. Looks like it's been running for awhile so I'd say it's reliable. Tasted fine but I'd personally recommend filtering.
185k: Estación Neurara, here we merged onto the train tracks saving us 700m of climbing as well as a few km in distance. The surface is a bit rough but we think for anyone riding light it would be worthwhile. Even on a loaded rig I doubt you'd have to push more than a kilometer or two. You merge back on to the road 4-5km before Estacion Monteraqui. Really nice and scenic too! NOTE: trains haven't run since 2001 but we were told they were running again in a week's time, so if you take this route keep an eye out!
230k: Border. Note that Socompa cannot be crossed with vehicles like cars or motorbikes. Friendly guys at the Argentinian border who'll give you a place to sleep. Stock up on water until Chuculaqui which most likely won't be more than a day depending on how light and fast you're riding. Water obv.
366k: Tolar Grande – There is free WiFi at the school (Password: MineriaSalta), accommodation is still around 100 pesos per person. Two shops with basic stuff but enough for a restock to your next destination. Buses to San Antonio run every Friday and apparently cost 100 Pesos if anyone feels they need somewhere bigger to restock.
Echoing what Nathan said on his blog, don't head off on this unprepared. It's not that tough but make sure you've got food and water well sussed.
Despite the dry environment, flowers were popping up everywhere. Someone told us it wasn't normal at this time of year but I can't confirm that.
Would you drink this water? Pozo no. 6 has a leaking pipe and the water wasn't half bad. Of course I've yet to see if I grow tentacles.
Finally some hills come into play. Normally climbing is nothing to celebrate but it's a welcome change from the flat road we've been on.
Rocking some new Zeal shades. Much needed in this sun.
Unfortunately Gina's camelback developed a leak. Not something you want to happen on a dry remote bit of riding. Thanks has to go out to Paul Griffiths who gave us some seamgrip in Huaraz. It worked a treat.
First kick on our little train track route. Pretty good surface saving 700m of climbing.
In 2001 the trains stopped running, but evidence of a different time exists. Trains "apparently" are to resume schedule in the next month.
That's it for photos on this one, camera died. Boooo. Will have to be more careful on the next stretch.
Such incredible landscapes! Thanks again for sharing these images and stories of your adventure.
"Brasilien kämpft aktuell gegen die vielleicht größte ökologische Katastrophe des Landes: Vor knapp zwei Wochen brachen die Mauern zweier Abraumbecken einer Erzmine in Mariana. Ein Dorf wurde überflutet, tausende Hektar fruchtbaren Bodens unter 60 Millionen Kubikmetern Schwermetallschlamm begraben. Mit dem Rio Doce fließt das Gift jetzt Richtung Atlantik. Über 500 Kilometer Flusslauf werden verseucht.
So geht es leider permanent irgendwo hier auf unserem Globus, wann kollabiert er?


On Friday, SpaceX launched a rocket into space, freaking a lot of people out on the ground, some of whom thought it might be aliens. (It wasn't.) Unsurprisingly, some drivers on the road were similarly caught unawares, likely leading to a pretty nasty collision.
The whole thing is a good reminder that, even if—perhaps even especially if—the apocalypse is here, keep your eyes on the road. Your car is one thing that you're going to need.
Correction: The crash occurred around 80 miles east of Los Angeles, not, as I originally wrote, west, which would probably be somewhere in the ocean.

Ensembles

Ensemble Altstadt Bad Staffelstein

Das Ensemble () umfasst die Altstadt von Bad Staffelstein innerhalb des Befestigungsrings aus dem 14. und 15. Jahrhundert. Nach den örtlichen archäologischen Fundstätten, die von Gräbern der Merowingerzeit bis zur Thüringer Kultur des 1. Jahrhunderts zurück reichen, stellt eine um 800 datierte Beschreibung des Gutsbezirks Banz die früheste Erwähnung des heutigen Siedlungsplatzes dar. Vor 1007 wurde die Stadtpfarrei St. Kilian gegründet, vor 1120/1124 gelangte der Fronhof des Ortes an das Domkapitel Bamberg, 1130 erhielt die Siedlung Marktrecht, wobei sich die Lage an einer Straßenverbindung von Bamberg nach Mitteldeutschland wohl begünstigend auswirkte. Mit der Erlangung der Mehrheit des Grundbesitzes und der vollen Gerichtsbarkeit im 14. und frühen 15. Jahrhundert förderte das Domkapitel den Ausbau zur Stadt und 1422 deren Befestigung. 1473 brannte die Stadt, darunter die Pfarrkirche und das Rathaus, nieder. Dass dem Hochstift Bamberg als Landesherrschaft und seinem örtlichen Amt, dem Kastenhof, in der Frühneuzeit die landesherrliche Gewalt über die Stadt weitgehend entzogen blieb, stellt eine lokale Sondersituation dar. Nach dem Übergreifen des Dreißigjährigen Krieges auf die Stadt, insbesondere im Jahr 1633, wurde 1684 nahezu der gesamte Ort, 340 Gebäude mit Ausnahme eines kleinen Areals um die Pfarrkirche, Raub der Flammen. Symbol des anschließenden Wiederaufbaus ist das Rathaus von 1686/87. Die Wirtschaftsstruktur der Handwerks-, Handels- und Beherbergungsbetriebe der Stadt war in der Folgezeit stark auf die nahen Klöster und Wallfahrtsorte Banz, Langheim und Vierzehnheiligen ausgerichtet. Nach der Eingliederung in das Königreich Bayern 1803 verlor der Ort seine Amtsfunktion. Der Anschluss an das Eisenbahnnetz 1846 ermöglichte neue wirtschaftliche Entwicklungen. Zwischen 1862 und 1972 war der Ort erneut Amtssitz. In der Gegenwart wird die Kleinstadt durch ihre Funktion als Kurort auf der Grundlage der 1975 erschlossenen Thermalsole bestimmt. Die Sole kann seit 1986 in einem Thermalbad genutzt werden, was 2001 zur Verleihung des Titels "Bad" an die Stadt führte. Der annähernd ovale Stadtgrundriss wird im Westen durch zwei wohl mit der Errichtung der Stadtbefestigung kanalisierte Arme der Lauter, eines Nebenflusses des Mains, begrenzt, an den anderen Seiten durch zum Teil deutlich eingetiefte, künstliche Grabenzonen. Innerhalb des Berings nehmen die West-Ost-Verbindung Bamberger Straße-Marktplatz-Lichtenfelser Straße, die Nord-Süd-Relation Bahnhofstraße-Marktplatz-Horsdorfer Straße und der dem Schnittpunkt angelagerte Markt die wichtigste Stellung ein. Durch die außermittige Lage dieses Straßenkreuzes ist auch die Kirchgasse im Nordwesten als Hauptstraße zu bewerten. Alle anderen Gassen, ursprünglich zumeist Sackgassen, haben untergeordnete Funktionen. Bei der weitgehend regelmäßigen Grundriss-Konstellation fällt der separate, ungewöhnlich weit vom Marktplatz abgerückte Standort der Pfarrkirche St. Kilian auf. Von besonderer Bedeutung ist das geschlossene Erscheinungsbild der Bebauung, dass vom Wiederaufbau nach dem Stadtbrand von 1684 geprägt wird. Hierzu zählen meist zweigeschossige, oft giebelständige Vorderhäuser mit Zierfachwerk im Obergeschoss. Als stadträumlich wichtiger Schwerpunkt ist der bereits im 12. Jahrhundert als markant erwähnte Marktplatz mit dem annähernd mittig platzierten, dreigeschossigen Rathaus anzusehen. Weitere repräsentative profane Gebäude mit Solitärstellung sind das ehemalige Amt des Bamberger Domkapitels (heute Amt für Landwirtschaft) und das Stadtmuseum. Neben der Pfarrkirche sind die Sankt Anna-Kapelle, direkt an der Handelsstraße gelegen, und die Sankt Georg-Kapelle im Bereich des ehemaligen Kastenhofes zu nennen. Von der Stadtbefestigung ist neben Mauerresten und größeren Abschnitten des Grünrings der Bamberger Torturm, im Kern aus dem 16. Jahrhundert, erhalten geblieben. Insbesondere im nördlichen Abschnitt der Bahnhofstraße und in der Kirchgasse sind innerhalb des Ensembles vereinzelt Gebäude des 19. Jahrhunderts vorhanden bzw. Gebäude, deren äußeres Erscheinungsbild in diesem Zeitraum geprägt wurde. Durch ihre stadträumliche Stellung in Eck- und Torsituationen ist den Gebäuden Bahnhofstraße 47 und Kirchgasse 1 Bedeutung für das Ensemble zuzuschreiben. In der Silhouette der am Fuß des Staffelberges gelegenen Stadt weisen sich der Turm der Stadtpfarrkirche des 14./15. Jahrhunderts, das Rathaus und den Bamberger Torturm des 16./18. Jahrhunderts weithin sichtbar als Dominanten des Stadtbildes aus. Aktennummer: E-4-78-165-1.

Ensemble Wallfahrtskirche Vierzehnheiligen

Zum Ensemble () gehören die Basilika als Wallfahrtskirche und ihre unmittelbare Umgebung mit dem Propsteigebäude des Franziskanerklosters, zwei Gasthäusern, einer Brauerei, den ortsfesten, standardisierten Verkaufsständen für Devotionalien und dem für die Fernwirkung besonders relevanten, nördlich angrenzenden Hang mit dem Kreuzweg. Die Erwähnung des Standortes beginnt 1344 mit dem Erwerb des Hofes Frankenthal durch das Zisterzienserkloster Langheim von der Familie von Kunstadt. Der Ort, dem die Erscheinungen der 14 Nothelfer in den Jahren 1445/46 zugeschrieben wird, der spätere Standort der Basilika, liegt etwas Hang aufwärts südlich des Standortes vom Hof Frankenthal, vor dem eigentlichen Aufstieg zur Jurahochfläche. Hier wurde 1448 die erste Wallfahrtskirche geweiht, die Geschichte der Pilgerherberge Goldener Hirsch ist bis ins Jahr 1458 zurück zu verfolgen. Der Bau der Basilika begann 1743 und wurde mit der Weihe 1772 abgeschlossen. Nach der Aufhebung des Klosters Langheim 1803 und der Zerstörung der Turmhelme und Dächer der Vierzehnheiliger Basilika durch Brand 1835 übernahm der Franziskanerorden 1839 die Durchführung der Wallfahrten. Verschiedene Gebäude zur direkten Versorgung von Pilgern entstanden Ende des 19. und Anfang des 20. Jahrhunderts. In unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft des Ensembles übernahmen die Sankt-Franziskus-Schwestern 1913 den Hof Frankenthal und erweiterten ihn zum Antoniusheim. Ab 1968 entstand an dieser Stelle das Diözesanhaus. Unmittelbar westlich davon wurde ab 1928 der Neubau des Mutterhauses der Sankt-Franziskus-Schwestern errichtet und bis 1986 mehrfach erweitert. Zu diesem Orden gehört auch der Konradshof nördlich unterhalb der Wallfahrtskirche, der in der heutigen Form seit 2001 existiert. Im Zentrum des Ensemblegebietes steht die barocke Basilika. Ihre Türme und die gesamte Außenarchitektur strahlen weit in das Umland aus. Das Propsteigebäude des Franziskanerordens von 1746 ist unmittelbar räumlich und architektonisch auf die Basilika ausgerichtet. Der Ordensfriedhof, der von barocken Kreuzwegstationen flankiert wird, befindet sich in unmittelbarer Nähe. Westlich der Doppelturmfassade befinden sich etwas hangabwärts die Gasthäuser Goldener Hirsch, Goldener Stern und die Verkaufsstände. Besondere Bedeutung für die außerordentlich hohe landschaftsräumliche Wirkung der Basilika wie des Ensembles insgesamt haben die von Bebauung freien und nur gering mit Großgrün bepflanzten nördlichen Hangbereiche, während im Süden die Waldkante die Horizontlinie bildet. Aktennummer: E-4-78-165-2.

Stadtbefestigung
Die Stadtbefestigung umfasst einen einfachen Bering mit der Stadtmauer aus Sandsteinquadern und einem Stadtgraben. Sie wurde im 15. und 16. Jahrhundert angelegt. Der Grabenbereich ist an der Ringstraße im Nordosten und im Osten sowie Am Stadtgraben im Süden erhalten. Von der Stadtmauer sind längere Abschnitte im Osten entlang der Ringstraße, im Süden entlang Am Stadtgraben und im Westen entlang Am Unteren Lauterdamm erhalten.
Die Mauertürme sind abgegangen. Von den Toren ist nur der Bamberger Torturm erhalten.

Se conoce como caballo ibérico a una serie de razas de caballo originarias de la península ibérica, que responden al prototipo de caballo barroco, y cuya domesticación se remonta a la colonización griega. Todas ellas tienen una serie de características más o menos comunes como:
 Alzada media. Ninguna raza ibérica pura supera el 1'65 m de altura a la cruz. Las razas ibéricas oscilan desde el tamaño de una jaca o poni, como la jaca gallega, al de un caballo normal como el lusitano.
 Cuello ancho y ligeramente arqueado. Esta característica resulta más marcada en las razas de mayor alzada.
 Perfil convexo o subconvexo. En algunos tipos, recto, pero nunca cóncavo.
 Crines tupidas. Todas las razas ibéricas tienen crines espesas y ocasionalmente rizadas.
 Formas redondeadas. Esto, junto con el cuello arqueado, define el aspecto barroco. Todas las razas ibéricas suelen tener formas redondeadas y no esbeltas, con la cola insertada baja.
 Capa oscura, oscilando entre el negro y el bayo. La influencia de razas foráneas como el berberisco y el árabe, cambiaron esa tendencia.

En época romana, además de caballos salvajes, había en Hispania dos variedades principales: una propia del tercio norte peninsular, de sangre fría, color oscuro y más apropiada para ir al paso o tirar del carro, llamados tieldones o asturcones cuando eran más pequeños, y otra de caballos ligeros, de color más claro y apropiados para la guerra, la caza y las carreras, que correspondía al equus Hispanus o caballo ibérico.

La FAO reconoció en 2005 la existencia de 17 razas características de la península ibérica.

División genética
Los resultados de un estudio genético realizado en 1999 que analizó 17 poblaciones equinas ibéricas, las dividió en dos grandes grupos perfectamente definidos:
 Descendientes del tronco tarpánico: andaluza, lusitana, menorquina, mallorquina, catalana, asturcón, gallego, sorraia, garrano, jaca navarra, pottoka, jaca soriana y losino. Este grupo se subdivide en dos, el grupo A1, en el que están las razas de tipo ponis ligeros y que descienden del equus gmelini, y el grupo A2, en el que están la andaluza, lusitana, menorquina, mallorquina y catalana, que descienden del equus przewalski.
 Descendientes del tronco solutrensis: aragonesa, bretón cerdá, burguete y bretón ampurdanés.

Razas de España
El Catálogo Oficial de Razas de Ganado de España, publicado por el Ministerio de Agricultura, Pesca y Alimentación tiene reconocidas oficialmente 16 razas autóctonas de ganado equino caballar. Estas razas son las siguientes:
 Pura Raza Española, única en la categoría de razas de fomento. Es el resultado del cruce de caballos ibéricos con berberiscos y árabes.
 Asturcón, raza en peligro de extinción. Raza autóctona pura.
 Burguete, raza en peligro de extinción.
 Caballo de Deporte Español, inscrito en la sección de otros équidos registrados.
 Caballo de las Retuertas, raza en peligro de extinción.
 Caballo de Monte del País Vasco, raza en peligro de extinción.
 Caballo de Pura Raza Gallega, raza en peligro de extinción. Raza autóctona pura.
 Caballo Mallorquín, raza en peligro de extinción. Raza autóctona pura.
 Caballo Menorquín, raza en peligro de extinción. Raza autóctona pura.
 Caballo Pirineico Catalán, raza en peligro de extinción.
 Hispano-Árabe, raza en peligro de extinción. Es el resultado del cruce del caballo andaluz con el árabe.
 Hispano-Bretón, raza en peligro de extinción. Es el resultado del cruce de yeguas bretonas (raza de origen francés) con caballos hispanos. Muy utilizada en el ejército español.
 Pottoka, raza en peligro de extinción. Raza autóctona pura.
 Jaca Navarra, raza en peligro de extinción. Raza autóctona pura.
 Losina, raza en peligro de extinción. Raza autóctona pura.
 Marismeña, raza en peligro de extinción.
 Monchina, raza en peligro de extinción. Raza autóctona pura.

Además de las reconocidas por el Ministerio, existen otras razas autóctonas de caballos, entre ellas las razas antiguas tradicionales, tanto históricas como actuales, que no tienen reconocimiento oficial por parte del ministerio:
 Caballo catalán: de capa negra. Actualmente extinto. La Asociación del Caballo de Tiro Catalán promueve su recuperación a partir de las pocas decenas de animales que conservan las características propias de esta raza.
 Caballo de tiro ligero catalán.
 Caballo de Merens: al igual que el Pottoka, comparte su distribución con Francia, de forma que tiende a considerarse más una raza francesa que ibérica.
 Jaca soriana, extinta desde mediados del siglo XX.
 Caballo serranillo, originario de la Sierra de Guadarrama que aún pervive.

Razas de Portugal
A continuación se muestran las razas portuguesas:
 Caballo lusitano: raza resultado del cruce de caballos ibéricos (posiblemente Sorraia) con berberiscos.
 Sorraia: raza autóctona, también llamada Tarpán ibérico.
 Garrano: raza de poni o jaca autóctona pura.
 Alter Real: raza cruzada.

We provide the best and fastest repairs of all Toshiba laptops and desktops. our services cover all the Australian suburbs and major cities. 100 % customer satisfaction is our priority. There are no hidden charges.
There is a reason a motherboard has got such a name. It provides connections to power registers and processor and peripherals with itself and each other. Considering the weight she bears, it is not farfetched that down the line this component might suffer from certain issues down the line. But what factors? What can you do to prevent it? And what can we do to aid you? These are questions we are going to discuss.
Toshiba laptops entail a variety of motherboards. Much to their need to cater to the mid level satellite computers and the high end Protégé systems. Therefore, varied methodologies are needed to be applied to fix the systems. Toshiba repair centre presents you the factors responsible for an unresponsive motherboard.
Contaminants: As sturdy and robust a motherboard is supposed is, contact accumulation of contaminants entailing Dust, grime dirt and food particles make the component intolerant to further contaminants with the passage of time. This leads to wire clubbing and consequently might lead to overheating, which in a log run is pretty much a system killer.
Liquid: Liquid spilling has always been and always will a curse of electrical appliances. The intricate nature of the motherboard doesn't provide it with much leeway when it comes to water protection. To that end, one single water spill causes the entire system to short circuit and the damage is not often localized, it spreads to other parts too.
Faulty wiring: every peripheral in a computer system requires a certain amount of power. Anything lower or below that might ender the component non functional. Additionally, it can cause issues for the motherboard too.
Power surges: Power surges can ultimately cause to motherboard failure because of their very nature. The connections are intricate and rather than going for strength, the default parts go for precision; making them susceptible to electrical changes.
Regular maintenance: cleaning the cabinet and motherboard relieve them of their contaminants. And when it is regular, there is a very little chance of failure.
Rewiring the components: After the regular wash up of the component, cleaning and re wiring is the way to go. In case of short circuit chances, the wires would be replaced.
Upgrading: bottlenecking causes the system behave abnormally, which in the long run causes failure. To counter this problem, an upgrade is in order.
For further details, you can contact Toshiba support centre.

Apriah Williams
Degree: Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre
College/School: College of Communication, Architecture + The Arts
Raised in Turks and Caicos, Apriah Williams had never experienced theatre until she was 16 years old. She was introduced to what would later become her passion when she watched a Cirque du Soleil show while visiting New York City. Apriah wanted to show the world that perseverance can transform a girl from the islands into a talented and successful theatre artist.
After moving to Miami, Apriah enrolled at Florida International University with no prior knowledge of theatre or design in the fall of 2015. Two years later, she put up her first fully-realized set design for the production of Ubu Rex. After presenting her design at the regional Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival, Apriah was invited to the National Festival in Washington, D.C. on a full scholarship after being recognized with the award for National Theatrical Design Excellence.
Apriah, who has epilepsy, believes her accomplishments are due to her time management abilities and attention to her health. She also attributes a lot of her success to her support group which consists of her mentors: Professors Anthony Galaska, Christopher Goslin, and Jennifer Ivey, as well as her family and friends.
After graduation, Apriah will be pursuing a master's degree in technical direction at CalArts in Valencia, California. She hopes to one day show other aspiring African-American, female technical directors that they can do it if they dream hard and work harder.

When Does the Gestational Sac Become Visible on an Ultrasound?
Chris Sattlberger / Getty Images
Gestational Sac Visible
Gestational Sac/5 Weeks
Ultrasound/Early Pregnancy
Heterotopic Pregnancy
The presence of a gestational sac on an ultrasound, especially when correlated with HCG levels, can be very helpful in detecting an ectopic or heterotopic pregnancy. It is also important in determining if you may have had a very early miscarriage.
When a Gestational Sac Is Visible on Ultrasound
It is important to note that, in early pregnancy, a transvaginal ultrasound is much more accurate than an abdominal ultrasound, so we will talk about findings on a transvaginal ultrasound alone.
The gestational sac is usually the first sign of pregnancy on ultrasound and may be seen as early as 3 weeks. At this time the average diameter of the sac is 2 to 3 millimeters. At around 5.5 weeks the yolk sac often becomes visible inside the gestational sac.
In viable pregnancies, a transvaginal ultrasound should be able to detect the gestational sac by 5 weeks gestational age. When correlated with hCG levels, a gestational sac should be seen on ultrasound when the hCG level when it has reached about 1500 to 2000.
If the Gestational Sac Is not Seen at 5 Weeks
If it has been five weeks since your last menstrual period but your hCG level has not been measured, there is a possibility that seeing no gestational sac simply means that you ovulated late and your pregnancy has not yet reached 5 weeks gestational age. Your physician may order a follow-up ultrasound in a few days or a week.
If your hCG level is higher than 1500 to 2000 and the gestational sac is not visible, your doctor may diagnose an ectopic pregnancy.
If you have not had hCG measurements or if your hCG level is lower, your physician will probably order a follow-up ultrasound or continued monitoring of your hCG level. It is also possible that the explanation is a very early miscarriage, aka chemical pregnancy, meaning that your pregnancy stopped developing before the gestational sac became large enough to see on the ultrasound.
Use of Ultrasound Done in Early Pregnancy
The main reason that an ultrasound is done in early pregnancy is to detect an intrauterine pregnancy and rule out an ectopic pregnancy. If an ectopic pregnancy is detected, ultrasound is useful when figuring out how to manage it. The goal of early ultrasound is not necessarily to determine viability and fetal age of an intrauterine pregnancy—however, both viability and fetal age are determined if intrauterine pregnancy is detected.
An ectopic pregnancy is a pregnancy in which the fertilized egg doesn't implant in the wall of the uterus as it should. The fertilized egg needs to implant in the uterus to develop properly.
In an ectopic pregnancy, the fertilized egg sets up home in the fallopian tube, the tube which carries the egg from the ovary to the uterus. When the fertilized egg is stuck in the fallopian tube, it can do great damage to the tube, and if left untreated, can rupture or burst the fallopian tube causing internal bleeding and shock. This is why it's very important that ectopic pregnancy is ruled out.
At the present time, many ectopic pregnancies are diagnosed in the emergency room using bedside ultrasound. Because an ectopic pregnancy can be quite dangerous, the emergency room is a good place to diagnose it, as long as medical personnel is well trained and knowledgeable. Women with ectopic pregnancy who are monitored in the emergency room can receive robust emergent treatment if necessary.
Ruptured Ectopic Pregnancy
In the vast majority of cases, detection of intrauterine pregnancy means that no ectopic pregnancy is present. However, in 1 of 3000 pregnancies, an intrauterine pregnancy, and an ectopic pregnancy may coexist—in other words, a twin pregnancy with one fetus implanted in the uterus and the other in the fallopian tubes. This phenomenon is called a heterotopic pregnancy.
In recent years, the proliferation of in vitro fertilization and administration of fertility drugs has resulted in more cases of heterotopic pregnancies. One study examining outcomes of 725 in vitro fertilization pregnancies found that about 4 percent of patients had ectopic pregnancies and two patients had a heterotopic pregnancy (less than 0.3 percent).
Ultimately, women who receive fertility treatments and in vitro fertilization should be carefully screened for heterotopic pregnancy. In women who have not had fertility treatment, the presence of an intrauterine pregnancy usually means that an ectopic pregnancy is unlikely.
If you are worried about finding your gestational sac on ultrasound, you likely have many questions. Talk to your doctor and if you don't understand something, ask again. Wondering about a pregnancy can be heart-wrenching. Reach out to family and friends who can walk this journey with you.

They established their home in rural Marion County and raised their three children, Leo, Mary Kay, and Ann, there. Later in life, they relocated to Shawnee, Oklahoma, to be near family and grandchildren.

I joined NCRS (Member #136) in 1974 and shortly after met an interesting old/young man, my senior by 19 years, his name was Noland Adams. By 1977/1978 I would refer to Noland as my friend.
Noland visited my Corvette shop in Napoleon, Ohio many times in the late 1970's and early 1980's when he became a defacto resident of Detroit, Michigan during his years of open access to the GM/Chevrolet Corvette records.
The GM access and Noland's research resulted in his publication of the Corvette Restoration and Technical Guides (Vol.1 and Vol. 2), each over 400 pages and his Corvette "American Legend" five book series. Noland's publications help answer questions for thousands of Corvette collectors, writers and enthusiasts.
Two or so years ago, Noland and his wife contacted me to help them market Noland's research materials, which filled a 24 foot enclosed trailer. Finally, after a 6 - 8 month effort, several interested parties made their offers and Noland was able to place his research materials in capable hands.
I am saddened by the loss of Noland Adams, who I refer to as my friend but more importantly a loss for our entire Corvette community.
Noland, REST IN PEACE! We all owe you my friend….
...for a Very Good Customer. Must be a split window coupe! Must be Silver/Red at birth! Must be a very nice car! Prefer 360hp or 340hp but may consider lower horsepower. May consider a car that needs restoration. Email [email protected] or call toll free 888-592-5086 and leave a message with Christine.

Music and Culture Sustainability Policy
In 2009, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously adopted a policy "to foster, promote, and sustain music and culture in San Francisco." The music and culture sustainability policy articulates the following principles:
(a) The City is committed to a general policy of sustaining indoor music and performance venues, and outdoor special events such as, but not limited to, parades, festivals, neighborhood celebrations, and street fairs. As development proceeds in San Francisco, with new buildings constructed, possible zoning changes, evolving infrastructure, changes in transportation systems and traffic patterns, and the like, the City must be vigilant to ensure that San Francisco remains a hospitable environment for music and cultural venues and events. San Francisco's music and performance venues and indoor and outdoor cultural events should be preserved and enhanced and protected from displacement due to development.
(b) The City is committed to a general policy of supporting and encouraging the use of City and County property, including Port property, for indoor and outdoor music and other cultural events. By making public property available for such events, more residents and visitors to San Francisco are able to attend such events and thereby share in the rich musical and cultural experiences that San Francisco offers.
(c) The City supports and encourages the use of galleries, art studios, salons, warehouses, coffee houses, community centers, and other unique places for cultural events, such as but not limited to musical performances, DJ events, readings, theater, dance events, fairs, festivals, workshops, fundraisers, and other community events. Limitations of space within San Francisco make it important for the City to be creative and expansive in recognizing the value of many different kinds of venues for music, entertainment, and cultural events.
(d) The City supports and encourages music, theater, performance, dance, street fairs, and other programs and events that reflect the cultural diversity of San Francisco. For San Francisco's musical and cultural life to remain vibrant, the City must be receptive to new and evolving perspectives on music and culture.
(e) The City supports and encourages innovative approaches to the provision of low-cost housing to musicians, artists, performers, event planners, and others who have an integral role in San Francisco's music and cultural life.
(f) The City supports and encourages educational programs to promote music, theater, dance, and other performance arts, including but not limited to after-school programs, continuing education programs, performance career paths, and education in media and digital arts and video and audio technology.
(g) The City supports and encourages workforce development efforts between event organizers and the City, such as but not limited to training workers in providing security for outdoor events and in facilitating the clean-up of neighborhoods impacted by large outdoor events.
(h) The City supports and encourages ongoing research activities on the economic impact of street fairs, nightlife, dance clubs, music halls, other performance and entertainment venues, and cultural events. These research activities should include not merely research efforts by officials, boards, commissions, departments, and other entities of the City, but also research efforts of persons or entities outside of City government. Through contracts, grants, or other funding by the City of outside research efforts, policymakers and decisionmakers within City government and their staffs can learn and benefit from the expertise, perspective, and insights that others can bring to this issue.
(i) The City supports and encourages advertising and promotion of music and cultural events and venues, such as street fairs, nightlife, dance clubs, music halls, and other performance and entertainment venues and cultural events. These advertising and promotion efforts should include not merely advertising and promotion by officials, boards, commissions, departments, and other entities of the City, but also advertising and promotion by persons or entities outside of City government who may be specially capable of reaching diverse or specialized audiences, including diverse communities in San Francisco, visitors from the greater San Francisco Bay Area, tourists, business visitors, and convention attendees. Through contracts, grants, or other funding by the City in support of such advertising and promotion efforts, music and cultural events and venues in San Francisco can be sustained and strengthened.
(j) It is the policy of the City and County to have a system of coordinated policy development, event planning, and permitting for music, culture, nightlife, performance, entertainment, special events, and entertainment establishments. To facilitate this goal, the Entertainment Commission shall coordinate these policy development, event planning, and permitting functions. All City officials, boards, commissions, departments, and other entities shall cooperate with and assist the Entertainment Commission in these efforts.

The U.S. described a vast, multi-year criminal enterprise centering on hacks of at least nine big financial and publishing firms and the theft of information on 100 million of their customers that fueled a web of stock manipulation, credit-card fraud and illegal online casinos.
Two indictments, unsealed Tuesday, tied three of four suspects to previously reported hacks of JPMorgan Chase & Co., E*Trade Financial Corp., Scottrade Financial Services Inc. and Dow Jones & Co., a unit of News Corp.
Hackers and conspirators in more than a dozen countries generated hundreds of millions of dollars in illicit proceeds on pump-and-dump stock schemes and particularly lucrative online gambling, prosecutors said.
From 2012 to mid-2015, the suspects and their co-conspirators successfully manipulated dozens of publicly traded stocks, sent misleading pitches to clients of banks and brokerages whose e-mail addresses they'd stolen, and profited by using trading accounts set up under fake names, prosecutors said.
Along the way, members of the ring tried to extract nonpublic information from financial corporations, processed payment information for fake pharmaceuticals and fake anti-virus software, falsified passports and took control of a New Jersey credit union, said prosecutors. They used 75 companies and bank and brokerage accounts around the world to launder money, prosecutors wrote. Other alleged offenses include hacking, securities fraud, wire fraud and identity theft.
The global network stretched from Israel to the U.S., with a dozen online casinos and payments that ran through Cyprus, Azerbaijan and Switzerland.
The co-conspirators deceived financial institutions into processing and authorizing payments to and from the casino companies and others, prosecutors wrote in their latest indictment of Gery Shalon, Joshua Aaron and Ziv Orenstein, who they say are at the center of the scheme. Shalon and Orenstein were arrested in Israel in July. Aaron remains at large.
"They colluded with corrupt international bank officials who willfully ignored its criminal nature in order to profit from, as a co-conspirator described it to Shalon, their payment processing 'casino/software/pharmaceutical cocktail'," according to the indictment of the three.
Anthony Murgio, who was arrested in Florida in July, was indicted separately for crimes related to a Bitcoin-exchange service and the takeover of a New Jersey credit union to further the business.
Shalon -- an Israeli citizen who also went by the names Garri Shalelashvili, Phillipe Mousset and Christopher Engeham -- directed hacks to further his market-manipulation and Internet gambling schemes, the indictment said. Shalon concealed at least $100 million in Swiss and other bank accounts, it said.
The new allegations against the four broaden dramatically the scope of a wide-ranging criminal enterprise with hacking at its core. Outlines of the government's case against the men emerged with their arrest in July, when Shalon, Orenstein and Aaron were implicated in a pump-and-dump scheme.
The three men were linked to hacks of JPMorgan, Fidelity Investments Ltd. and E*Trade, Bloomberg News reported at the time.
The hackers located some 10 million e-mail addresses of customers and stole millions of those from Dow Jones, identified as Victim 8 in the indictment. In October, the company disclosed that its computer systems had been hacked. As part of that disclosure, Dow Jones Chief Executive Officer William Lewis said that some customer payment information may have been compromised -- on no more than 3,500 accounts -- and that it was unknown whether other information had been taken.
A week earlier, Scottrade disclosed that it had been hacked and that information on 4.6 million customers had been taken.
According to the indictment, Shalom and a co-conspirator expanded their efforts to seek material non-public information from firms they were hacking. In one e-mail, they referred to seeking "interesting info" from top managers at Victim 5, a St. Louis brokerage firm now confirmed as Scottrade.
A spokeswoman for Dow Jones said in a statement: "The indictment unsealed today refers to the public disclosure we made on October 9. The government's investigation is ongoing, and we continue to cooperate with law enforcement."
The hack of Fidelity has been previously reported. The company said it has no indication that any customer accounts, customer information or related systems were affected. E*Trade confirmed it was attacked in late 2013 but declined to provide more information.
"We continue to cooperate with law enforcement in fighting cybercrime," JPMorgan spokeswoman Trish Wexler said in a statement.
U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara in Manhattan has scheduled a press conference for Tuesday to explain the charges.

Rep. John Lewis puts on a Black Friday sales event called 'the dream,' and here's how you can join it
Rep. John Lewis came together with other prominent Democrats to hold a Black Friday sales event just in time for the Thanksgiving season — and the sale is here.
The event, which also marks the 25th anniversary of the successful Million Man March, calls on Black Friday shoppers to hit "center right" and buy their holiday goods from well-known retailers like Nike, Project Runway and Sundance Now. Lewis, who spoke at last weekend's protest for justice for Trayvon Martin, in addition to condemning the Trump administration's first wave of executive orders on immigration, mentioned the Black Friday 2020 sale in a statement.
"In the past, the people that had been out there promoting Martin Luther King's words and his dream and his mission carried the day," Lewis said. "We have a new spirit now of people who are expressing their pride and participation in being a part of the dream, and that's why I think we're going to have a moment like we never had before."

When you interview for a job at a public relations agency, you learn about the environment, your coworkers, the starting pay and your benefits package. But there are a few job responsibilities that you might not find out about until after you've been hired.
One time, my company had this brilliant idea to propose one of our clients use customized snow globes as a give away item for a big event. The globes would have been a perfect fit for this press conference, so I was fully on board … until it was my job to gather cost estimates from random companies I found in a Google search. Similar instances have included ceremonial groundbreaking shovels, signage for events, custom-printed seed packets, customized surfboards, screen-printed wristbands, and many other very random items. Sometimes a great idea breaks, and you might be the one behind the scenes making it come to life. Still, collecting estimates and breaking down five quotes into a cost benefit analysis was probably never mentioned in the interview.
Some public relations agencies measure their credibility by the amount of awards they accumulate over the years. Winning professional awards and being recognized by industry leaders is certainly noteworthy, but often times, the proposal of work for such an award includes a 50-100 page write-up of a specific project. That's all good and fine, but it takes work and there are deadlines involved. It's kind of like being in college again, except you have ten clients also vying for your attention. Did they go over that on training day?
Some odd jobs may be administrative, others are necessary evils, but you should always be prepared to confront a job responsibility you weren't necessarily prepared for, and more importantly, go above and beyond by completing it.

Ghana to benefit from US$15bn UNOPS housing project
Ghana and Kenya are part of African countries to benefit from a US$15 billion United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) affordable housing project expected to be rolled out soon.
Apart from Africa, some Asia and the Caribbean countries would also benefit from the project.
The UNOPS is working in partnership with Sustainable Housing Solutions (SHS) to roll out the project, which comes under the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations.
The partnership would see UNOPS and SHS delivering 260,000 plus high-quality affordable homes across the selected countries.
"UNOPS and SHS will begin to work on projects this year in Ghana, India, Kenya and the Caribbean to help build more than 260,000 affordable homes," UNOPS said in a statement.
According to UNOPS, "the project will provide thousands of job opportunities for local communities, and the opportunities include projects in construction and renewable energy sectors."
Ghana, with an estimated housing deficit of over two million, which is projected to increase to 2.2 million in a few years, will receive US$5 billion to construct about 100,000 affordable houses.
Ghana's agreement was signed in September 2018 in New York, US, on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, which was attended by President Akufo-Addo.
The partnership is the latest step in the UNOPS Social Impact Investing Initiative, which aims to attract financing from the private sector to develop projects in emerging markets.
The agreement aims to utilize proven innovative technology to accelerate large-scale construction projects in some of the world's most challenging environments.
The concept aims at providing a 'turn-key solution' to reduce the current shortfall of tens of millions of decent dwellings.
The new partnership will also explore new opportunities in the renewable market, with UNOPS expected to work with MYRA-SHS Energy, a subsidiary of SHS.
UNOPS Executive Director, Grete Faremo, said: "The Sustainable Development Goals call for new and bold partnerships. We now bring together expertise, ideas and financing from a broad range of partners – including governments, the public sector and also the private sector."
Director of SHS Holdings, Dr. Allen Zimbler, on his part, stated that "we are proud to partner with UNOPS and work alongside other world-class partners to resolve the significant housing crisis in the developing world and beyond."
