BLOOMINGTON, Ind. (AP) — Mackenzie Holmes scored 25 points, Sydney Parrish added 24 and No. 5 Indiana hit 12 3-pointers to defeat No. 6 North Carolina 87-63 on Thursday night in the ACC/Big Ten Challenge.
The battle of unbeatens had drastically different shooting nights. The Hoosiers got hot to improve to 8-0 and the Tar Heels did not to drop to 6-1. The Hoosiers hit eight 3s to build a 16-point lead by halftime. Parrish, a junior transfer starting for injured senior guard Grace Berger, hit four 3s as did senior guard Sara Scalia.
"We did that without Grace Berger, which was huge for us," Parrish said of the three-time All-Big Ten standout, who is out indefinitely with a right knee injury. "We knew we had to play for her."
The successful outside shooting opened up inside room for Holmes, the Big Ten Player of the Week. When the senior center wasn't scoring, she was drawing Tar Heel fouls.
"I don't think it was exactly a statement," Parrish said. "We played how we play. We just came out and played hard. We should play like that every night."
Hoosiers coach Teri Moren wore a "Grace Berger 34" sweatshirt.
"In order to beat a great team like North Carolina, it takes everybody," Moren said. "We knew that everybody needed to do a little extra, a little more, without Grace being out there. We answered the bell in a big kind of way tonight."
Indiana finished 12 of 22 from beyond the arc. The 12 3s tied a season high, the other dozen in a season-opening blowout of Vermont.
"I changed my shot this week," Parrish said. "I guess it worked for today."
North Carolina was 7 of 14 from beyond the arc, but shot just 35.4% overall (23 of 65).
"They really shot," Tar Heels coach Courtney Banghart said. "Until the last two misses, they were 70% from three. We just really couldn't make a basket. We were missing layups. We really struggled to finish."
Tar Heels junior guard Kennedy Todd Williams had 20 points. Junior guard Deja Kelly added 11.
"The environment took us away a little bit because it was loud," Banghart said. "We'll play in great environments like that because when you're a top-10 team, that's what you get now. That's the takeaway. The environment can't tighten you up offensively."
The game started in streaks as North Carolina scored the first seven points, then Indiana responded with the next 13. The Hoosiers went on a 10-0 run for a 34-21 advantage. The largest first-half edge was 49-33 at halftime after Indiana outscored North Carolina 22-12 in the second quarter.
Moren said her team wanted to complete a sweep of the Tar Heels after the 10th-ranked Hoosier men downed North Carolina on Wednesday night. And she was appreciative of a loud crowd providing energy.
"Just like last night, this is a hard place to play when you feel this place, from the energy to the noise," Moren said.
North Carolina: After winning back-to-back games against ranked foes, the Tar Heels took a step back due to shaky perimeter defense and cold shooting. But this team is talented so expect the players to use this humble road experience as motivation.
Indiana: After a series of double-digit wins against non-ranked opponents, the Hoosiers were quite impressive in what was supposed to be their first real test of the season. Excellent 3-point shooting and solid defense gave this team confidence early on and that momentum kept building.
North Carolina: Host North Carolina-Wilmington on Wednesday.
Indiana: Host Illinois on Sunday.

ROUGHGUIDES.COM / EUROPE / SCOTLAND / CENTRAL-SCOTLAND / PERTHSHIRE
Genteel, attractive Perthshire is, in many ways, the epitome of well-groomed rural Scotland. An area of gentle glens, mature woodland, rushing rivers and peaceful lochs, it's the long-established domain of Scotland's well-to-do country set. First settled more than eight thousand years ago, it was ruled by the Romans and then the Picts before Celtic missionaries established themselves.
Great places to visit in this region of Scotland
place Central Scotland place Fife place Loch Lomond place Stirling and around
The ancient town of Perth occupies a strategic position at the mouth of the River Tay; salmon, wool and, by the sixteenth century, whisky, were exported, while a major import was Bordeaux claret. At nearby Scone, Kenneth MacAlpine established the capital of the kingdom of the Scots and the Picts in 846. When this settlement was washed away by floods in 1210, William the Lion founded Perth as a royal burgh.
North and west of Perth, Highland Perthshire is made up of gorgeous and mighty woodlands, particularly along the banks of the River Tay. The area is dotted with neat, confident towns and villages like Dunkeld and Birnam, with its mature trees and lovely ruined cathedral, and Aberfeldy set deep amongst farmland east of Loch Tay. Further north, the countryside becomes more sparsely populated and spectacular, with some wonderful walking country, especially around Pitlochry, Blair Atholl and the wild expanses of Rannoch Moor to the west.

Highland Perthshire
North of the Tay valley, Perthshire doesn't discard its lush richness immediately, but there are clear indications of the more rugged, barren influences of the Highlands proper. The principal settlements of Pitlochry and Blair Atholl, both just off the A9, are separated by the narrow gorge of Killiecrankie, a crucial strategic spot in times past for anyone seeking to control movement of cattle or armies from the Highlands to the Lowlands. Greater rewards, however, are to be found further from the main drag, most notably in the winding westward road along the shores of Loch Tummel and Loch Rannoch past the distinctive peak of Schiehallion, which eventually leads to the remote wilderness of Rannoch Moor.
Rannoch Moor occupies roughly 150 square miles of uninhabited and uninhabitable peat bogs, lochs, heather hillocks, strewn lumps of granite and a few gnarled Caledonian pine, all of it more than 1000ft above sea level. Perhaps the most striking thing about the moor is its inaccessibility: one road, between Crianlarich and Glen Coe, skirts its western side, while another struggles west from Pitlochry to reach its eastern edge at Rannoch Station. The only regular form of transport is the West Highland railway, which stops at Rannoch and, a little to the north, Corrour Station, which has no road access at all. From Rannoch Station it's possible to catch the train to Corrour and walk the nine miles back; it's a longer slog west to the eastern end of Glen Coe, the dramatic peaks of which poke up above the moor's western horizon. Determined hillwalkers will find a clutch of Munros around Corrour, including remote Ben Alder (3765ft), high above the forbidding shores of Loch Ericht.
Loch Ossian Youth Hostel
A mile from Corrour train station on the shores of Loch Ossian. This comfortable, cosy – and remote – eco-hostel is a great place for hikers seeking somewhere genuinely off the beaten track. Good wildlife-watching opportunities, too.
Outdoor activities in Perthshire
In Perthshire, outdoor activities range from gentle strolls through ancient oak forests to white-knuckle rides down frothing waterfalls. The variety of landscapes and relative accessibility from the central belt has led to a significant number of outdoor operators being based in the area: the tourist board's Activity Line can give advice and contacts for more than thirty companies who comply with the Adventure Perthshire Operators' Charter.

Broadly applied in fields involved with powering spacecraft, rural weather stations, and other remote research institutions, the hydrogen fuel cell has greatly improved access to a stable electrical energy source for even the most removed locations. The hydrogen fuel cell works by converting chemical energy from Hydrogen molecules to electrical energy through a small and contained chemical reaction.
Christian Friedrich Schönbein and William Grove pioneered the idea for the first fuel cell in 1838, with its creation occurring in 1839. This model used a reaction between hydrogen and oxygen gas to produce an electrical current. Attempts to use coal as a fuel source were also undertaken, but this model did not gain much traction within the fuel cell community.
Instead, by 1932 hydrogen fuel cell advances made by Cambridge professor Francis Bacon allowed for the fuel cell to become bigger, stronger, and more durable than the 1838 model. This led to partnership with the U.S. air force and vehicles including trucks, golf carts, and submersible vessels soon began being powered by fuel cells.
By the 1950s, NASA began using fuel cells to power manned space missions. Advances in the fuel cell model created by General Electric, allowed the fuel cell to be modified to survive the harsh conditions of space. These cells, named international fuel cells, powered the Apollo space missions by providing electricity and clean water for the astronauts.
With the environmental concerns and legislations of the 1970s, hydrogen fuel cells were pushed further into the limelight as their energy is considered clean compared to that of coal and oil powered machines. By the end of the century, fuel cells were common in every car, as the chemical reaction produced from the hydrogen generates no harmful tailpipe emissions.
Today, there is an ever-increasing demand for fuel cells as they make their way into a variety of new energy efficient and clean technologies in high demand. Although, the growth of the fuel cell has steadily increased from its original development, it is extremely likely that the clean and efficient energy produced from a fuel cell will become a chief source of electrical energy in the future.


The Nautilus E618 Elliptical has the heaviest drive and longest stride of its series. Powered with a 30-pound front drive, it can serve all ability levels — but built with a long footpath, it's best for trainees who aren't so small. Other key specs include 29 training programs, wireless heart rate monitoring, and a Bluetooth connection for seamless data sharing. Read on for a complete E618 Elliptical review.
52" x 33" x 22"
Rating: 88.1/100. Nautilus introduced the E618 ($1299) as the top Performance Series elliptical in late 2016. Nautilus markets their Performance Series as equipment for athletes who "achieve at a higher level," and that's a fair description for this particular elliptical trainer. Most important is the resistance system, which includes a 30-pound flywheel. That's at least five pounds heavier than those for most ellipticals under $1500. The extra weight makes the E618 move more smoothly and lets athletes reach higher levels of fitness.
When comparing ellipticals, also note that the Nautilus Performance Series appeals especially to data-oriented exercisers. The E618 Elliptical is packaged with a wireless heart rate monitor, supports multiple user profiles, and has a Bluetooth connection for seamless sharing of workout stats.
Also critical to consider is the stride length, which is 22" and a bit longer than the average person's natural footpath.
The Nautilus E618 Elliptical is a front drive cross trainer for all skill levels. It's the most advanced model in its series and hit the market in late 2016. The key performance specs are a 22" stride and a 30-pound flywheel. (Cheaper models in the Nautilus lineup have shorter strides and lighter drives.) The console holds 29 training programs, supports up to four user profiles, and can export workout data to mobile apps. This machine carries a standard five-year parts/electronics warranty, which is very competitive for a $1299 trainer, and extended warranties are available. Here are details about the workout programs and other features.
The E618 console can hold 29 training programs that control the resistance, incline and duration of training. It lets each user profile save customized routines, and it arrives with more than two dozen preset options in categories such as weight management, heart rate and interval training.
Exercise data can be stored long-term with the console's built-in Nautilus app. With Bluetooth the data can be exported to third party fitness apps such as Google Fit and Apple Health.
The E618 is a front drive elliptical. With the flywheel housed up front, it demands less space in comparison with a rear drive elliptical. Its footprint measures about 73" long and 27" wide.
A highlight of this cross trainer is its 30-pound drive. It supports smooth striding for trainees of any size (maximum 350 pounds), and the resistance can be precisely calibrated with a choice of 25 settings. The resistance is controlled magnetically, so braking is friction-free and virtually silent.
This cross trainer has moving handlebars to increase calorie burn and sculpt the upper body. The handlebars are shaped to accept more than one gripping position for workout diversity.
For lower-body sculpting and strength training, the E618 has a power incline with maximum 15% angle. Additionally the footplates have three settings to allow for more variation in muscle engagement.
Programming and exercise data are shown on two LCDs with blue backlighting. These windows have adjustable angle and are visible even when a tablet computer is docked in front.
The console's media shelf is sized just right for a tablet computer. The elliptical also has integrated speakers for an MP3 player.
Nautilus ships this trainer with a chest strap for wireless heart rate monitoring.
The Nautilus money-back guarantee is valid for six weeks after purchase. Customers are responsible for return shipping and other expenses.
Alongside other ellipticals in its price class, the Nautilus E618 stands out for providing a 30-pound drive, a 22" stride, and Bluetooth for data sharing. The tradeoff for a heavy drive at this price is a lighter console; the Nautilus console is loaded with useful training programs but isn't very engaging. For most trainees that's not an issue though, as it's easy to add digital entertainment with help from the media shelf and integrated speakers. Overall the new E618 looks like a good mid-priced value for the not-so-casual exerciser.

#10 in Bestselling African American Voices Audiobooks
"Perhaps I have a different perspective on this book because I have a younger brother who is a Black, 20-something man in sales, but this book presents an evocative, honest, complex portrait of being a BIPOC person in a white-dominant workplace (albeit one that is high-powered, sales-driven, and New York City-based). This is a book that allows a reader to be seen if this is their experience, but also for a reader to learn about a different reality if this is not their own. Black Buck is a tightly woven, contemporary debut from an author to watch."
BrocheAroe Fabian, River Dog Book Co.
A crackling, satirical debut novel about a young man given a shot at stardom as the lone black salesman at a mysterious, cult-like, and wildly successful startup where nothing is as it seems.
After enduring a "hell week" of training, Darren, the only black person in the company, reimagines himself as "Buck," a ruthless salesman unrecognizable to his friends and family. But when things turn tragic at home and Buck feels he has hit rock bottom, he begins to hatch a plan to help young people of color infiltrate America's sales force, setting off a chain of events that forever changes the game.
Black Buck is a hilarious, razor-sharp skewering of America's workforce; it is a propulsive debut that explores ambition and race and makes way for a necessary new vision of the American dream.

Kolbuszowa Dolna (od 1949 – de facto od 1944 – Niwiska) – dawna gmina wiejska istniejąca w latach 1934–1948 (de facto 1934–1942) w woj. lwowskim i rzeszowskim (dzisiejsze woj. podkarpackie). Siedzibą władz gminy była Kolbuszowa Dolna.

Gmina zbiorowa Kolbuszowa Dolna została utworzona 1 sierpnia 1934 roku w powiecie kolbuszowskim w woj. lwowskim z dotychczasowych jednostkowych gmin wiejskich: Hucisko, Kolbuszowa Dolna, Kosowy, Niwiska, Nowa Wieś, Przyłęk, Siedlanka, Świerczów i Toporów.

Po wojnie gmina znalazła się w powiecie kolbuszowskim w nowo utworzonym woj. rzeszowskim. 1 stycznia 1949 roku gmina została zniesiona, po czym z jej obszaru utworzono gminę Niwiska z siedzibą w Niwiskach. De facto, gminę Kolbuszowa Dolna zniesiono już w 1942 roku, a gminę Niwiska utworzono w 1944 roku; podczas wojny (1942–44) obszar gminy wszedł w skład hitlerowskich obszarów specjalnych Heeresgutsbezirk Truppenübungsplatz Süd Dęba oraz SS-Gutsbezirk Truppenübungsplatz Heidelager.

Study Finds Race of Messenger Affects How Users Interact With Posts on Twitter
Filed in Research & Studies on February 25, 2019
A new study from the University of Kansas has found that on Twitter, the race of a specific tweet's messenger can affect how a reader interacts with the tweet.
For the study, a sample of White millennial participants viewed real tweets related to Colin Kaepernick's protest of police brutality and racial injustice during the playing of the national anthem before National Football League games. The participants then answered questions about their perceptions of the issue and about who tweeted the messages. Eye-tracking equipment mapped the time participants spent reading each post, which was used as a proxy for their attention to the tweets. According to the results, participants looked longer at messages from White Twitter users, while self-reported data showed that they would be more likely to engage with Black Twitter users on the topic.
Additionally, the respondents also widely reported changing their feelings about the protests after reading the tweets. Those who were exposed to tweets in favor of the protests had an improved view of the subject, and the inverse was true for those who saw tweets against the movement compared with their views about the protest about three weeks earlier. However, there was no change in their attitudes on African Americans.
The researchers believe that when White millennials are asked to think about tweets from Black men in the self-reported data, they may perceive them as more knowledgeable about the topic. However, eye-tracking data indicated that, subconsciously, the participants still pay more attention to tweets from White men. Therefore, the researchers warn other academics to view self-reported data cautiously, as it may not be a true representation of a participant's beliefs. Additionally, they believe that incorporating the right messenger can be just as important as the message itself when trying to influence young Americans.
"If you want a message to hit home with White millennials, you have to think not only about the message but who is delivering the message," said lead author Joseph Ebra, assistant professor of journalism and mass communications. "There needs to be a 'match up' between the topic discussed and the perceived identity of the spokesperson."

Africa Travel Magazine had the tour of a lifetime at the ATA 6th Cultural and Ecotourism Symposium in Fès, Morocco's Imperial City. Even though the ATA conference agenda was stretched to the limit, many took time off to visit the Medina and other historic attractions that make this great city such a magnet for those interested in the cultural aspects of tourism. Fortunately, being mostly travel agents and tour professionals, many will return as hosts of their own escorted tours of Morocco. After all, that's the main reason why hundreds of us from the USA, Canada and Africa Chapters get together at least twice a year in a different African city. By the way, this is our encore for Morocco; a very successful, fun-filled event was held in Marrakech six years before. Although my time was short, I journeyed into the heart of the Medina for several hours, where, among other experiences, I was given a short course in the making of carpets, Moroccan style.
This phase of my education was prompted by a breakfast conversation that same day with my friend and colleague Council Irwin, a Travel Agency owner and President of ATA's Detroit Chapter. Council has several of these beautiful carpets in his home. He aroused my curiosity enough that I made it a point to seek out and interview Omar, who owns a carpet store with a seemingly endless inventory (see above photo) . Myself and others will expand on this fascinating story about Moroccan carpets and other facets of our visit to Fès later as we continue our series on the Great Cities of Morocco. We will also provide interesting background information from the Morocco National Tourist Office such as the following.
Located in the Fès -Boulemane region (altitude: 415m/1300ft, on the Saiss fertile plains, between the rich Middle Atlas and Rif forests, Fès is the very pulse and the cultural, intellectual, and spiritual capital of Morocco. Inherited from time immemorial when Fès, then an imperial city, ruled over most of the Maghreb, a multitude of vestiges and treasures are only waiting to be discovered by its visitors, notably behind the walls of its haunting medieval city, the Medina. A spiritual Tourist Mecca thanks to its famous Karaouiyne formerly attended by great scholars from around the world. Fès is also the guardian of Arabic-Moorish art.
The Fès medina is famous for its merchants, its artists and talented craftsmen still carrying on the trade traditions. Its many quarters are specialized by guilds, and the crafts industry is the drving force behin the old city. Among the special crafts Fez is famous for : fine woodcarving, brassware, silks, pottery, leather goods and bookbinding. Andalusian music, Berber songs and dances are equally appreciated.
The Medina hides numerous aristocratic mansions and magnificient palaces that, from the outside, you cannot even begin to imagine exist., Wandering around the maze-like narrow streets of Fez you are taken back into the past, witnessing its social and cultural treasures and minglings. How many Arab, palestinian, Berber, Andalusian or Saharian civilizations have left their marks in the area Visiting this amazing city teeming with life and history, with past and present subtly interwoven into its very deep recesses, is both mind-boggling and fascinating.
Exploring Fez, the visitors can experience a journey that will throw them, beyond biases and prejudices, into the living memory of a civilization close to the one of medieval Europe. Through the violent clashes of centuries and cultures, they might think they are going back in time. A stay in Fez, on the other hand, is not complete without a taste of the Fassi cuisine, one of the most renowned in Morocco and the world.
As the Kingdom's original capital (808 AD), Fez is known as "the most imperial city of them all. " Within an hour's drive are three major historic centers and tourism destinations, each one a jewel in the country's radiant crown. Fès is surrounded by lakes, the Atlas Mountains, small cities like Ifrane and Axrou, full cedars, and other rare places. The Morocco National Tourist Office will sponsor a full day tour for all ATA delegates to Meknes, an Imperial City famous for its Bab Mansour gate, the Royal Palace of Dar el Makhzen and the ruins of Dar el Kebira, with two ornate mosques and over 20 pavilions Photo (right): Fez is famous for its sheep skin Tanneries and leather crafts. A leather shop's terrace rooftop in the Tanneries Quarter of the Medina offers a fascinating view of the enormous dye pits. Every few days the colors are changed.
standing guard on the hillside, is another attraction to rave about.

Both men said [Trevor] Noah distinguished himself from other comics by resisting labels and "genre-based comedy." [Schalk] Bezuidenhout noted that Noah always identified himself as a mixed-race South African raised in straitened circumstances in Soweto without "using it as a crutch." Contemporaries who have shared the stage with him say he's unusually attuned to the audience, shifting direction based on the feel in the room, and Bezuidenhout has seen Noah drop chunks of material based on the city he's performing in. This was a quality that a number of immigrants in South Africa had already mentioned to me. Omega Chembhere, a waiter, told me that when he had arrived from Zimbabwe 10 years earlier, much of South African pop culture had seemed inaccessible. "Trevor's different, so good at it," he said. "His strength is that everything springs from his experience in life, but you understand his reality because he makes an effort to explain."

Bob Marley: the regret that haunted his life
Tim Adams, Staff Writer
Director Kevin Macdonald explains how he pieced together his new film about reggae legend Bob Marley, from troubled early years in Jamaica to worldwide adulation – even after death
In 2005, the director Kevin Macdonald was working in Uganda on his film The Last King of Scotland. In the slums of Kampala he was struck by a curious fact. There seemed to be images of Bob Marley and "Get up, stand up" slogans and dreadlocks wherever he went.
Marley had been on Macdonald's mind anyway: he had been asked by Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records, if he would be interested in getting involved in a film project about the Jamaican musician's enduring legacy.
The original plan had been to follow a group of rastafarians on their journey from Kingston to their spiritual homeland of Ethiopia, to attend a celebration of the 60th anniversary of Marley's birth. As it worked out, that film was never made, but, when the opportunity arose for Macdonald to make a more ambitious documentary about Marley, he jumped at the chance…

Retinoids rescue ceruloplasmin secretion and alleviate oxidative stress in Wilson's disease-specific hepatocytes
News ReleaseiPS Cell Advanced Characterization and Development Team
Wilson's disease (WD) is a copper metabolic disorder caused by a defective ATP7B function. Conventional therapies cause severe side effects and significant variation in efficacy, according to cohort studies. Thus, exploring new therapeutic approaches to prevent progression to liver failure is urgent. To study the physiology and pathology of WD, immortalized cell lines and rodent WD models have been used conventionally; however, a large gap remains among different species as well as in genetic backgrounds among individuals. We generated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) from four WD patients carrying compound heterozygous mutations in the ATP7B gene. ATP7B loss- and gain-of-functions were further manifested with ATP7B-deficient iPSCs and heterozygously corrected R778L WD patient-derived iPSCs using CRISPR-Cas9-based gene editing. Although the expression of ATP7B protein varied among WD-specific hepatocytes differentiated from these iPSCs, the expression and secretion of ceruloplasmin (Cp), a downstream copper carrier in plasma, were consistently decreased in WD patient-derived and ATP7B-deficient hepatocytes. A transcriptome analysis detected abnormalities in the retinoid signaling pathway and lipid metabolism in WD-specific hepatocytes. Drug screening using WD patient-derived hepatocytes identified retinoids as promising candidates for rescuing Cp secretion. All-trans retinoic acid also alleviates reactive oxygen species production induced by lipid accumulation in WD-specific hepatocytes treated with oleic acid. These patient-derived iPSC-based hepatic models function as effective platforms for the development of potential therapeutics for hepatic steatosis in WD and other fatty liver diseases.

Liner Notes: Bruce Cockburn - Big Circumstance
The result of three years of traveling to such far-flung places as Mozambique, Nepal and Central America, the songs on 1989's Big Circumstance reflect Bruce Cockburn's heartfelt reactions to war, repression and environmental abuse. The celebrated Canadian singer-songwriter was already well known for such forthright songs of the 1980s as "If I Had a Rocket Launcher" and "Call it Democracy." With Big Circumstance, Cockburn ended the decade with some of the most politically potent material of his career, including "If a Tree Falls," which tackled the issue of rain forest destruction. "From Sarawak to Amazonas, Costa Rica to mangy B.C. hills," he sang angrily, "ancient cord of coexistence hacked by parasitic greedhead scam." The accompanying video—one of Cockburn's best—didn't pull any punches either.
Cockburn took a similarly direct approach in making Big Circumstance. The album was recorded with producer-keyboardist Jon Goldsmith, drummer Mike Sloski and bassist Fergus Marsh, with no editing, few overdubs and a minimum of takes. That immediacy added to the urgency of songs like the bluesy "Radium Rain," which Cockburn wrote while performing in Germany several days after the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in the nearby Ukraine, and the punk-like "Where the Death Squad Lives," about the terror in Central America, where "they cut down people like they cut down trees." Meanwhile, the deceptively sweet "Gospel of Bondage," featuring mellifluous backup vocals from friends Judy Cade and Mose Scarlett as well as acclaimed artist Mary Margaret O'Hara, tackles Christian extremists. "God must be on the side of the side that's right," Cockburn sings, "and not the right that justifies itself in terms of might."
Some of the songs arose from a 1987 trip that Cockburn made to Nepal on behalf of the overseas development agency USC Canada (formerly the Unitarian Service Committee), which Cockburn has been associated with since the late 1960s. "Tibetan Side of Town" is a jazzy portrait of Kathmandu, a series of stark, diary-like observations about the sights, smells and sounds of the Nepalese capital. "Understanding Nothing," a moody expression of cultural bewilderment, is more impressionistic. Using spoken verse, Cockburn tells of "weavers' fingers flying on the loom, patterns shift too fast to be discerned."
At the same time, the album represented a return to Cockburn's more acoustic sound, best heard on the album's two romantic numbers: the aching "Pangs of Love" and the gentle, swaying "Don't Feel Your Touch," which ranks among his most melodically gorgeous numbers. However, "The Gift" uses swirling electric guitars and rippling percussion to create a joyful sound that one critic compared to "Grateful Dead-like euphoria." The original album ended with the dry-wit humor of "Anything Can Happen," a cabaret-like number that includes a woozy clarinet and a series of possible death scenarios. "We could have been nailed by some vigilante type, in a case of mistaken identity," Cockburn sings, before adding the deadpan qualifier, "obviously."
This remastered version of Big Circumstance features only one bonus track due to the extended length of the original album: an acoustic version of "If a Tree Falls." But it's a most fitting addition, since it was a breakthrough song in several ways. Cockburn wrote it during the spring of 1988—well before many celebrities embraced the issue of rainforest preservation. The song formed the title track of a benefit album, released in 1996, featuring such artists as Ferron, John Trudell, Hank Williams Jr. and Buffy Sainte-Marie. And both it and the hard-hitting video that accompanied the song became U.S. hits, reaching number 19 on the Modern Rock charts and garnering airplay on VH1 respectively. To hear Cockburn sing this cautionary tale today, in a slower, starker arrangement, underscores both its inherent strength and, sadly, its continuing relevance. Like the rest of Big Circumstance, it remains a powerful testament to one man's social conscience and artistic vision.

Little Lands, Giant Bucks

By Michael Hanback | Published Oct 1, 2005 4:00 AM
Default Photo.
Chad Hane, a firefighter from Stillwater, Okla., watched the four bucks swagger toward his cedar blind. He drew his bow, shot the lead deer, walked up to it and nearly fell over. The buck sported more than 200 inches of antler. Hane didn't have to drag the monster far. It was little more than 100 yards back to his house, which sits on the same 10 acres where he was born and raised.
Ten- to fifty-acre properties in fast-growing suburbs and on the outskirts of rural towns are sleeper spots for mega bucks. Many of the tracts have top-end habitat: hardwood blocks dotted with fields, browse thickets, cedars, pines, creeks and a lot of edge. Add to that the fact that many of the lands are inaccessible or posted to hunters, and you've got a lot of deer that live to at least 3½ years and grow gnarly antlers.
If you can get access to a prime spot, you might not kill a new state archery record like Hane did (the giant non-typical turned out to be 214 4/8 inches), but there's a darn good chance you'll tag a rack in the 130- to 150-inch range. [Hane's buck was featured in our September 2004 issue.]
START KNOCKING
It's not too late to put on civilian clothes and a smile and start knocking on doors. Naturally, some suburban deer lovers will tell you to scram, but more people than you might think will let you hunt this fall, especially if too many deer are gobbling up their gardens. When possible, work from leads provided by family, friends or coworkers, and get them to pave the way for you by introducing you to their contacts. Try to obtain access to two or more places, so you can move around and not hunt any one spot excessively. When possible, secure the exclusive rights to hunt these properties so you can better manage the amount of pressure placed on the local herd.
MAP IT OUT
Study an aerial photo of a new tract. (You can get one on the Internet at terraserver-usa.com or mytopo.com.) The interior of the property is obviously important–ridges, thickets, oak trees and the like–but so are the outskirts. Check surrounding properties for fields that might be planted with corn, alfalfa, soybeans and similar plantings. Those crops will dictate when, where and how deer will move through and around your small spot.
Look both within and beyond your boundaries for pine thickets, grassy swamps, weedy ditches and similar bedding spots. These covers (black slivers or blobs on your map) might be small, a quarter acre or less. It doesn't take much to hide a big deer. Bucks hopscotch from one cover to the next as they check does and come and go to feed.
SPOT AND SCORE
On August 10, 2003, Hane looked out a window and spotted four bucks, including the giant he killed seven weeks later, chowing down in his backyard. His wife grabbed the camcorder and they excitedly filmed the deer until dark. From that observation, Hane knew that some big deer were nearby. (The two eight-pointers and the non-typical 12 running with the giant were nothing to scoff at.) And Hane had a good idea of where and how this bachelors' club moved across his property.
You might not be able to film bucks in your backyard, but you can glass them wherever you hunt. Even when the season is already open, it pays to sacrifice a few days of tree-stand time for a little long-range, low-impact scouting. Drive to a tract, play the wind, climb a hill and simply sit and watch deer moving in and around fencerows, fields, power-line rights-of-way and other open areas that they typically prefer. You'll learn a ton.
Let's say you spot a thick-beamed eight-pointer strolling off an adjoining lot to browse and mingle with does on the west side of your land three evenings in a row. You know a shooter is right there, and you can surmise that his pattern will stay fairly predictable, at least until the rut blows up next month.
Better yet, you've also learned that most deer on your propety enter and leave on the west end. That's huge. On a little spot, your biggest challenge is to get to and from your tree stand each day without scaring deer away. In this case, you would know to sneak in from the east or south and hang your stand on a day when the wind is blowing out of the west or north. You shouldn't spook any deer, and your chances of seeing and shooting that big eight-point buck are very good.
For more on hunting big bucks in small spots check out the author's book, Modern Whitetail Hunting (KP Books, $19.99). To order, call 800-258-0929.
Tract Stands
Most days you're better off sitting in a tree stand than roaming around and pushing deer off a small property. Try these three setups.
• Inside any woodlot there are draws, ridge points, creek crossings, etc., that funnel deer within range. Hang a stand downwind of such an "inner terrain."
• As they carve roads and clear home sites, developers create a maze of edge cover that often sprawls across 10 or 20 lots. Deer love to browse these fringes, so they're great stand sites if you have permission to hunt them.
• Scout for a well-trampled doe trail that cuts all the way through your block of woods from adjoining properties. When the rut pops, a lot of rank bucks will prowl that trail in search of does.
Check state and county Web sites for offbeat public lands open to hunting. You might bust a buck on 20 acres around a boat ramp or in a woodlot next to a municipal landfill. Keep an eye out for spots other hunters overlook.

I agree with this point. The sermon slide editor is disappointing and makes things more difficult.
I have used Logos since floppy disks and have never truly been disappointed until Sermon Editor in L7. I'm near retirement and would not have bought the product without the SE as advertised. I'm a cut and paste Word/PP preacher and was promised I would never have to resort to that again because of the ease of use and capabilities of SE. Bought L7 this week; going back to cut and paste. Very disappointed.
I'm not wanting to compete with Proclaim. I use Proclaim. I want Logos and Proclaim to work together without causing me more work in reformatting something I've already formatted. I love the idea of the Sermon Editor, it's just not that practical at this time. Cut and past from Word will do the same thing. I hope this will change in the near future.

How Effective Is Chinese Massage?
3fy3y December 19, 2022 December 19, 2022 General
Often viewed as an alternative therapy, Chinese massage Dubai is one of the oldest forms of bodywork and is thought to offer various benefits. It can help relieve pain and improve blood circulation. It is also thought to reduce stress. This ancient form of medicine is believed to promote total body harmony. It can be used to treat a range of health problems, including chronic back pain, fatigue, and joint strain.
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the body has a network of channels that transport qi and protect against external pathogens. These pathways connect the interior organs to the exterior and regulate yin and yang. If the pathways become blocked, qi cannot flow, which results in pain. The therapist will use their fingers or knees to stimulate these pathways during the massage.
Acupressure is another common type of bodywork therapy. Using the same points used in acupuncture, acupressure creates biochemical changes in the body and is particularly effective for conditions that involve muscle misalignment. It can also be used to relieve restlessness and colic.
Tuina is a form of medical massage that uses a combination of finger and elbow techniques. This massage is based on the theory that the flow of qi influences the meridian system in the body. By stimulating these pathways, a tuina therapist can improve qi's circulation and relieve physical ailments. It is considered to be safe for most people. However, it is important to seek the advice of a medical professional before beginning a tuina treatment.
Tuina is said to have been practiced in China for 700 years. This type of massage focuses on the body's muscular system and uses movements similar to deep tissue massage. It is a good treatment for post-exercise fatigue and can restore athletic performance. It is also thought to be beneficial for musculoskeletal health concerns, as well as gastrointestinal health.
Besides its healing effects on the body, Chinese massage is thought to improve sleep quality. A study on carpal tunnel syndrome revealed that 81% of patients experienced a reduction in pain after undergoing a tuina massage. The study also indicated that the treatment improved the recovery time after an injury and benefited patients by reducing inflammation in skeletal muscle.

When Rob and I lived in NYC we decided to add a cat to our tiny apartment. Well, the tiny cat we choose from the ASPCA had a sister and they couldn't be parted. Of course not. So we brought them both home and they are with us still, only now in Oregon.
Everyday we would find them in a different nook and cranny of the apartment. Here is the first photo in the series of what I like to call "Maddy & Phoebe Get Cozy".

What follows is a grouping of some tools that you, as a developer or designer, can try on your next project. This list is by no means exhaustive, or a "top ten" of anything, but are simply suggestions to those looking for something new. I hope you enjoy the tools mentioned. Let's get started!
Inspect is an app that syncs perfectly between your design files and tooling. It helps you easily maintain design files between Sketch, Inspect and InVision and keep all synced with a single click.
Inspect bridges the gap between designer and developer. Generate working code as you design, provide measurements, colors, and design assets with genuine ease and collaborate with a messaging system while maintaining up-to-date project information and notes.
To get started you'll need Sketch. Once you have Sketch installed you'll also need Craft. Craft is a suite of plugins that lets you design with real data in mind and allows for the syncing to take place between InVision and Sketch. Create a new project from InVision and then switch back to Sketch. I'd also suggest taking a look at InVision Studio.
Archetype is digital typography design made easy. It works with Google Fonts live in the browser using best practices such as creating a modular scale and baseline grids that are consistent and reusable.
All styling set up with archetype generates developer-friendly code for easy handoff.
Changes and updates are instant and easily shareable by allowing users to export to CSS or to Sketch. You also have the ability to download your chosen font set used for your design. Save projects using your Google account and come back to your work at any time.
If you use version control, work on open source projects, or conduct code review amongst team members, Probot might be your angel in disguise. Probot is a community-driven set of apps to automate and improve your workflow with GitHub.
You can explore all the open source apps or build your own. Some apps provided currently are Stale, to automatically close stale issues and pull requests that accumulate during a project, or reminders to create reminder notifications for your project issues and team members.
Have you ever received a PSD and wished you could convert it to a Sketch file? Well you're in luck. Avocode (another intersting tool to try as well) has been kind enough to give the community a free tool to do such a job. Browse to the URL and upload your PSD. Here's a roadmap and list of features the conversion process supports.
Also keep in mind that Photoshop and Sketch are significantly different tools. It can only convert design elements that can be created in both of these design apps; Sketch and Photoshop. It cannot convert nor imitate Photoshop features that are not included in the Sketch app.
Optimizing images can significantly improve Web page load time, resulting in improved user retention and satisfaction. Website Speed Test is an image analysis tool that can scan any site with a live URL. It provides detailed optimization insights on how changes to image size, format, quality and encoding parameters can improve page load speed.
Results can be shared and once the analysis is complete, each image noted in your results can be downloaded in optimized format or other format alternatives such as webp or jpeg-xr.
To learn more about this service head on over to their about page. There is also the Cloudinary CDN service you might want to check out as well.
Animista is a place where you can play with a collection of pre-made css animations, tweak them and get only those you'll actually use. Copy the generated code or download a single CSS file to use.
If you see something you like during your work, click the heart icon, or browse your other favorites at anytime by clicking the funnel icon. Animista gives you all kinds of pre-made and custom options to fine tune your motion sequence including 3D options along with your typical 2D transformations. Code can be minified and piped through Autoprefixer in order to ensure you get the most useable code possible for browser support.
Hero Patterns is a collection of repeatable SVG background patterns for you to use on your web projects. Each background pattern you select is converted into a repeatable background and encoded in base64 to use in your CSS file of choice. Adjust individual properties such as foreground color, background color and foreground opacity while you make your design decisions.
Currently the app lets you choose between 87 different patterns and has quite a variety considering the small amount of patterns provided.
You can also download the unstyled svg as you can see from the code snippet above. This is perfect for those who don't want to use the base64 option or wish to customize the pattern further.
Cushion is considering a mobile app for the future, but doesn't offer one at this time as the focus is on building a fully-featured web app. If you're specifically looking for bank account integration (and this is a deal breaker for you) the unfortunate news is that the app doesn't have a bank feed, but you can import your bank statement as a .csv file. Give it run for yourself, you have nothing to lose.
Launchy is an accessible modal window. It's also jQuery free and only 27.7 KB.
Add your own custom close controls!
Add your own custom controls which send focus to somewhere else on the page!
Launchy also has many CSS classes available on its generated elements for custom styling. Check out the style.scss file for class names and an example on how you might want to style your modal windows. The project is also available as an npm package: npm i launchy-modal-window. Truly an accessible modal window done right.
Formcore is an open-source project (described as "light-weight and validated forms") by the Filament group and is a set of form patterns such as show/hide password, character counter, credit card input and validation, multi-line text inputs that expands as the user types, plus much more.
There are a number of other features incorporated like normalizing the behavior of <input type="number"> form fields, works to enforce the maxlength attribute, and also works around bugs with <input type="number"> in Safari 6 and Firefox desktop to mention a few.
If you're building forms on the web (and I'll wager you are) then this might be a good one to try with your next project involving form inputs.
Now that we've reached the end of our list what are your thoughts? Did one spark your attention igniting your will to try it out? Were you unimpressed and have others to suggest? Let us know in the comments below. Happy web building everyone!


A lot of things in modern homes allow for comfortable living, and an air conditioner ranks high on the list. As the temperatures rise in McComb and the surrounding areas, most of us become ever more reliant on the cooling a functioning air conditioner provides.
When it comes to maintaining your air conditioner, you may find a lot of advice on the net. However, not all the advice that you come across online regarding repair and maintenance of the air condition unit are in fact true.
We have decided that it's time that we set the facts straight, and debunk a few AC repair myths once and for all.
The Reality: Of all the AC repair myths, this is perhaps the most enduring and popular. It's also not true. The fact of the matter is air conditioning units experience wear-and-tear with use. The more rest you give to the air conditioner, the longer it will perform without breaking down. Also, the air conditioner consumes electricity. So, if you let the air conditioner run needlessly, you will incur higher energy bills.
It's best that you install a programmable thermostat, or have one of our techs install it for you. You can set the thermostat to turn off the air conditioner automatically when you leave home. In this way, you will never incur extra energy bills due to having the air conditioning unit run when no one is around the house.
The Reality: Another common myth that people have about air condition repair is that the less they use the air conditioner, the better it will perform. The reality is that there is no point in keeping an air conditioner unit if you intend to mostly rely on the ceiling fan to keep cool, and rarely use the air conditioner.
In case you don't use the unit often, dirt and dust will clog the ductwork and the air filter. Also, the internal component inside the air conditioner unit may rust from not being used for long.
To ensure that the air conditioner works efficiently, it's important that you regularly operate the unit and have it maintained at proper intervals. This is the best way to ensure that the air conditioner unit will live up to the expected lifespan of 15 years, and maybe even a bit more.
The Reality: Depending on the place where you live, you may need to replace the air filter more often. If your house is located in an area with many empty plots, you may need to have the filter replaced frequently. The dirt and dust from the empty slots can clog the filter soon.
Waiting longer to replace the air filter can cause major damage to the system. That's why it's important that you have the system checked about twice a month by a professional technician to perform necessary repairs.

JASPER COUNTY, TX (KTRE) - Work got underway Tuesday morning to help alleviate some of the erosion of the Sam Rayburn Reservoir's earthen dam caused wind and wave action.
The Army Corp of Engineers began placing riprap, a loose rock and gravel mixture, along a stretch of Highway 255 just east of the Sam Rayburn Lake Project Office. The riprap mixture will be placed on the upstream face of the earthen dam "where armor has been lost to wind/wave action", county officials explained.
The erosion is due in part to high water levels the dam has experienced in recent months. In late January, the Corps made the decision to open the floodgates to release water accumulated in the lake after heavy rainfall.
The Army Corps of Engineers has previously said water levels have not been any cause for concern, even with the closure of recreational areas along Sam Rayburn Reservoir on Jan. 31 due to "excessively high" water levels in the lake and surrounding rivers, according to the U.S. Forest Service.
Jasper County officials said signs would be placed along Highway 255 to stop traffic for short periods of time while the loaders are placing the gravel mixture; minimal traffic impact is expected. Officials added the work was expected to wrap up as early as Wednesday morning.

Movie Review Of The Specials
Vincent Cassel and Reda Kateb feature the most recent element from French filmmaking couple Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache ('Intouchables'), which shut the current year's Cannes Film Festival.
Two affiliations, one kept running by a Muslim and the other by a Jew, take care of underestimated individuals, for example, those with serious chemical imbalance who have been dismissed by the French framework, in The Specials (Hors normes), a sort hodgepodge that is as clumsy as its name. In light of that one-sentence plot depiction, it is difficult to figure that this standard killjoy was coordinated by Eric Toledano and Olivier Nakache, the pair behind a few hit comedies, including the movies beast Intouchables and the humorous 2017 Toronto International Film Festival shutting film C'est la Vie. Their most recent offering is more along the lines of their 2014 disillusionment Samba, with Omar Sy and Charlotte Gainsbourg, which attempted — and to a great extent fizzled — to meld a movement show and lighthearted comedy tropes.
The Specials, which was the end film — or "last screening" as it has been strangely re-absolved — at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival, benefits from the neighborhood star intensity of Vincent Cassel (Eastern Promises) and Reda Kateb (Django). Joined with the genuine story edge and the brand estimation of Toledano and Nakache, this ought to guarantee a good opening when the film goes out locally Oct. 23. In any case, seaward, the pic is probably not going to travel much past French Film Week-type celebrations and aimless VOD outlets.
Bruno (Cassel), a character roused by Stephane Benhamou, runs an asylum of sorts for seriously medically introverted individuals, a large portion of them youths their folks experience considerable difficulties taking care of in light of the fact that their conduct is as often as possible brutal and capricious. The rehearsing Jew, who sports a yarmulke when not wearing his baseball top, is companions with Malik (Kateb), the anecdotal partner of Daoud Tatou, whose affiliation deals with instruction and expert (re)insertion for adolescents from unpleasant foundations. The two men now and then pair up their charges, for example, when the almost grown-up Dylan (Bryan Mialoundama) is approached to take care of the preteen Valentin (Marco Locatelli), whose fits can be forceful to the point that he needs to wear defensive headgear to shield him from harming himself.
The screenplay, composed by Toledano and Nakache, rapidly illustrates two men committed to their particular causes. The chiefs underline the team's kinship and want to do great substantially more than their distinctive religious foundations (Malik particularly appears to be even more a Muslim in name than practically speaking). Medicinal experts, for example, Dr. Ronssin (Catherine Mouchet) consistently depend on affiliations like Bruno's to place individuals that can't be set anyplace else, as a ton of establishments will not take patients who are excessively vicious and who can't be controlled, viably leaving them either with their folks or in the city.
The way that the French framework in this manner successfully will not assist a few people with serious issues is plainly something the producers feel unequivocally about and need to bring to the consideration of a more extensive group of spectators. In any case, this specific want here and there impedes recounting to a story that plays to their qualities, as the general tenor and message of the film are downbeat, while Toledano and Nakache's strong point is light parody more than social-issue dramatization. (This was likewise what made Samba feel like an inconvenient blend.) There additionally isn't generally a legitimate harmony among Malik and Bruno, with Bruno getting more screen time and to a greater degree a private life, despite the fact that the chiefs turn the way that Bruno's work continues interfering with his (visually impaired) dates into an entertaining running stifler.

Yet, this unevenness isn't the pic's greatest issue, as that questionable respect goes to the subplot including the overseers (Frederic Pierrot, Suliane Brahim) who work for the state office IGAS (L'Inspection generale des affaires sociales). The two are exploring Bruno's affiliation since it exists outside of the general guidelines set out by French law, which isn't too astounding since Bruno is explicitly attempting to offer some assistance where the French establishments miss the mark. The overseer characters, in any case, are pedantic exaggerations that aren't generally utilized for any diverting reason and it is grinding to see them diminished to shortsighted reprobates. Their storyline is intended to create compassion toward the dark horses Bruno and Malik, who need to help those the framework itself will not help. In any case, the absence of any subtlety in their characters makes it difficult to pay attention to them as something other than mouthpieces for the inflexibly restricting perspective.
Acting, at any rate, is strong from the troupe thrown, which is a blend of experts and non-experts and which incorporates a couple of individuals with chemical imbalance also. What's more, start to finish, the film is expertly collected, notwithstanding figuring out how to implant a little sparkle into generally truly lumpy environment. As in the majority of the chiefs' movies, music assumes a noteworthy job and the percussion-overwhelming score in any event keeps things pushing ahead. There are, obviously, a couple of great montage arrangements, including one that easily returns and forward between Valentin as he is spurred into contacting a pony and Joseph (Benjamin Lesieur), one of Bruno's different accuses of extreme chemical imbalance, who needs to attempt and take the metro alone without surrendering to his longing to set off the caution. It's a great vibe great break in a film that has an exceptionally calming message about access to mind in an as far as anyone knows populist nation like France.

McCabe uncharged, not to be charged
Thread starter Dean S

Department of Justice basically admits to a judge that there is no evidence of a crime committed by Andrew McCabe. Judge than rips them for putting up a smoke screen in his court. Once again, truth comes out that the running dogs of Donald Trump have corrupted government function at every level. Trump didn't come in to drain the swamp. He came to office to create a swamp. This is just another case where the narrative put out by Trump and his media machine turns out to be pure lies once again.
Now, the characters on this board will come out with the most elaborate lies to make McCabe look like a stooge of the left. Nothing can be further from the truth. McCabe was a good public servant and Trump and his propaganda factory continue to try to create stories that destroy good public servants, just so he can appoint his own corrupt cronies to continue to fleece this nation of its good government.

"We found that, in a conversation with then-Director Comey shortly after the WSJ article was published, McCabe lacked candor when he told Comey, or made statements that led Comey to believe, that McCabe had not authorized the disclosure and did not know who did. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.5 (Lack of Candor – No Oath).
We also found that on May 9, 2017, when questioned under oath by FBI agents from INSD, McCabe lacked candor when he told the agents that he had not authorized the disclosure to the WSJ and did not know who did. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.6 (Lack of Candor – Under Oath). We further found that on July 28, 2017, when questioned under oath by the OIG in a recorded interview, McCabe lacked candor when he stated: (a) that he was not aware of Special Counsel having been authorized to speak to reporters around October 30 and (b) that, because he was not in Washington, D.C., on October 27 and 28, 2016, he was unable to say where Special Counsel was or what she was doing at that time. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.6 (Lack of Candor – Under Oath).
We additionally found that on November 29, 2017, when questioned under oath by the OIG in a recorded interview during which he contradicted his prior statements by acknowledging that he had authorized the disclosure to the WSJ, McCabe lacked candor when he: (a) stated that he told Comey on October 31, 2016, that he had authorized the disclosure to the WSJ; (b) denied telling INSD agents on May 9 that he had not authorized the disclosure to the WSJ about the PADAG call; and (c) asserted that INSD's questioning of him on May 9 about the October 30 WSJ article occurred at the end of an unrelated meeting when one of the INSD agents pulled him aside and asked him one or two questions about the article. This conduct violated FBI Offense Code 2.6 (Lack of Candor – Under Oath)."
McCabe leaked classified info to his media contacts and lied repeatedly under oath. The fact that he's not being charged does not exonerate him. What it does is demonstrate how a two-tiered justice system works. If you're A Trump ally, your life is ruined and you go to jail. If you're a member of the DC swamp, you walk with no charges. There was a time that "liberals" were outraged by this sort of egregious injustice, today they celebrate it.

"We're going to win so much, you're going to be so sick and tired of winning, you're going to come to me and go 'Please, please, we can't win anymore.' You've heard this one. You'll say 'Please, Mr. President, we beg you sir, we don't want to win anymore. It's too much. It's not fair to everybody else.'

I'm seeing a lot of flapping of the arms & loud cooing by the usual dummies. One of McCabe's buddies in the DOJ is stonewalling charges against him. This is shocking, how?

You are the best, comrade craig.

Comrade Craig: it is the standing operating procedure of the Trump administration to phoney up charges against civil servants who call out the President for his misdeeds. This is nothing but a "trumped" up charge against McCabe. What the Judge said to the DOJ was clear and simple: prove the charge as valid or STFU about this so called "investigation". If you can't fathom that, your just an emotional, uninformed troll. Go pout somewhere where people care for you. I certainly don't care for your far right wing, pro Trump, Putin fed lies. Snowflake! Sticks of a fir tree!

Kremlin hopes that Yatsenyuk's resignation will not hamper implementation of Minsk accords

Yatsenyuk says he resigns as Ukraine's prime minister
MOSCOW, April 11. /TASS/. Moscow hopes that the resignation of Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk will not hamper the implementation of the Minsk Agreements that is already stalling, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday.
"Of course, we think that change of government and prime minister should not hamper what has been stalling for over a year already," Peskov told reporters.
He reminded that Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko was the one who put his signature under the Minsk Agreements. "We still hope that Kiev will fulfill the commitments it assumed," the spokesman said. Answering a question on how Yatsenyuk's resignation may affect the implementation of the political part of Minsk-2 by Kiev, Peskov noted: "I would not want to guess on a coffee thick."
The Kremlin spokesman added that Yatsenyuk "is not remembered for making any contribution" to settling the Ukrainian crisis. "In reality, Mr Yatsenyuk is not remembered for making a contribution to normalization of relations between our countries," he added. "He is also not remembered for any contribution to settling the Ukrainian crisis, I mean the situation in the south-east," he concluded.
