Over 14,000 Participate in Avon's Events for Breast Cancer Awareness Month
Avon's activities for this year's Breast Cancer Awareness month were a success. 2020's campaign, BOOBwatch, was all about educating about the importance of early detection. With all the three fundraising events mounted online, Avon was able to reach more people and generate awareness at a grander scale. This year's events were all for the benefit of the Philippine Cancer Society.
First up was BOOB Talk, a breast care catch-up with Dr. Gia Sison, Dr. Rachel Rosario of the Philippine Cancer Society, Avon Ambassador Daniel Matsunaga, TV host and News Anchor Dianne Medina and host Myrza Sison. Held last October 10, the online chikahan became a fruitful conversation about breast cancer viewed by more than 6,200 people. Franz Tolentino, a breast cancer survivor and active Avon representative, also shared her personal stories about fighting the Big C. Franz was an incredible source of inspiration for those who are dealing with the disease. She shares, "Pwede din kayong sumali sa mg breast cancer support groups katulad ng Avon-PGH Breast Cancer Group. Malaking tulong ang magkaroon ng mga kaibigan na alam ang pinag-dadaanan mo. Mayroon kang makakausap na naranasan o pinagdadaanan din ang pinagdadaanan mo."
Avon also made sure that they raised funds in an entertaining way, and they've got the help of one of the Philippines' top female singers. Shaped for More with Morrisette: The BOOBwatch Fundraising Concert was streamed via Facebook, with more than 5,700 of viewers tuning in. Morrisette sang hits by Adele, Jessie J, and some of her own hit songs. Before the concert, she shared her pride in being part of this great cause, "I am excited to be part of this campaign because I believe in their Breast Care Promise. Prevention is always better than cure. Our health is not something we want to compromise. We are shaped for more and we should not let anything or anyone hold us back from achieving our purpose."
The brand's last event was a fun and energetic one, ending the festivities on a high note. The #JoinTheBoobment Manoeuvres Fitness Dance-a-thon, also streamed via Facebook Live, was one and half hours full of high-energy dance routines and happy people viewing and donating. The renowned dance group took viewers down memory lane, as they danced to the hits of the 70s all the way to the hits of today, making it a fun event from titas to millennials. During this session, Jason and James Zamora with James Gaddi taught the viewers a quick Tiktok dance tutorial that shows how easy and fast it is to do a breast check by yourself.
For those who couldn't join the events, Avon has released a special collection to help raise funds as well. For every sale of the Empower Bra (Avon's first-ever mastectomy bra), the Breast Cancer Promise Umbrella and Tote Bag Set, and Evita Watch P50 was donated to the Philippine Cancer Society. You can continue to donate to this cause through BPI Account number: 0141-0431-53 or GCash Account number: 0917-5372662.
Through this year's efforts, Avon hopes to make a better world for all women, which is a better world for all. Breast cancer is the most commonly occurring cancer in women, and this is why Avon makes it a point to keep their advocacy going. This year, the brand is thankful for being able to reach more people (14,069 in total) than ever by bringing the events online.

Today was a happy day and a sad day at Nechells POD. Happy because we were celebrating the end of our Reaching Communities BIG Lottery funded Safe Haven Project and recognising the great contribution of some of our volunteers. Thanks to Giselle from the lottery who presented our volunteer certificates.Sad because Sheena will be leaving us next week to take up a new job at Birmingham University. Sheena has been an amazing Safe Haven Coordinator and has worked so hard that we have exceeded the targets set but most importantly she has consulted widely with our community to make sure the range of fantastic activities provided had a positive impact on their lives. We will miss Sheena and wish her lots of luck in the future. Thanks to everyone who attended the celebration, it was great that so many of us could come together enjoy each others company and Zenia's delicious food!


Thomas Bulfinch (July 15, 1796 – May 27, 1867) was an American writer born in Newton, Massachusetts. Bulfinch belonged to a well-educated Bostonian merchant family of modest means.
Although Thomas Bulfinch reorganized Psalms to illustrate the history of the Hebrews, he is best known as the author of Bulfinch's Mythology, an 1881 compilation of his previous works: The Age of Fable, or Stories of Gods and Heroes (1855) The Age of Chivalry, or Legends of King Arthur (1858) Legends of Charlemagne, or Romance of the Middle Ages (1863) Bulfinch's Mythology is a classic work of popularized mythology, still in print 150 years after the first work, Age of Fable, was published in 1855. The compilation, assembled posthumously by Edward Everett Hale, includes various stories belonging to the mythological traditions known as the Matter of Rome, the Matter of Britain and the Matter of France, respectively.


Situated on the south-east province of Salamanca, bordering with the province of Cáceres.
The main interest areas to visit are Candelario, declared historic-artistic village in 1975.
The structure of the village, with four long main steets, is due to the topography, and because of that we cannot find big squares.
The arquitectur of the village is because of an economic activity: the pork industry.


Research and development plays a big role in our daily operation ever since our inception. IDAH was born in an era when there were no tailored solutions provided in the industry. By paving our own path with bare hands and creative minds, a long-term tradition of solution-searching was born: we see only possibilities to problems. This mentality has lead us to achieve our goals of allowing IDAH committed to continuously lead the industry by bearing the original true hearts and strong will.
All IDAH solutions are built by following Two Triangle Theory guidelines. Our Mission is to create a manufacturing system that addresses the needs of our customers.
Do you know IDAH ran three feed mills making shrimp, fish, and poultry feeds while also running an extruded food company supplying textured soy and wheat protein? Over the past 40 years our experiences are accumulated not just from working with customers but also from our own labs and commercial runs at our subsidiaries. This experience helps us identify bottlenecks that are not apparent in short trials. Many of the innovations we offer come from this strategy, including the post-conditioner concept for shrimp feeds.
IDAH understands a true turn-key solution provider should also be a one-stop shop for customers. IDAH starts very early to tie-up with foreign companies and this helps us provide the best solutions by excelling in all aspects. This includes purchasing the most advanced manufacturing facility, establishing first food and feed extrusion lab in Taiwan, and technology alliances with several foreign countries.
In early 1980s, IDAH successfully invented the world's first post-conditioner, KC series for shrimp feed production.
In 1989, IDAH invested Taiwan first gun drilling machine for pellet dies from Germany.
In 1990, IDAH introduced twin paddle mixer to the market with benefits of low C.V. value and short mixing cycle.
In 1996, IDAH developed patented co-rotating twin screw extruder.
In 1997, IDAH established extrusion research center, the first research plant in Asia established by extruder manufacturer.
In 2000, IDAH cooperated with Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) to develop Densified Refuse Derived Fuel (RDF-5) processing turn-key system and solutions.
In 2004, IDAH developed the world's first Contra-twin screw extruder for feed and food applications.
In 2010, IDAH brings the latest 3D technology to all machines and turn-key designs.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 94/9/EC of 23 March 1994. For relationship with EU Directive(s), see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document. This document is to specify the requirements for the type of protection "Control of ignition sources" for equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and should be used in conjunction with EN 13463-1 " Non-electrical equipment for potentially explosive atmospheres – Part 1: Basic method and requirements". According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and United Kingdom. EN 13463-6:2005 (E) 4Introduction Many types of non-electrical equipment intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres of gas, vapour, mist and/or combustible dust, do not contain an effective ignition source in normal operation. However, there is a risk that an ignition source might arise in such equipment if the moving parts suffer a malfunction or an abnormal operation occurs. An example of this is a fan, having high speed rotating blades fixed to a shaft, supported on rolling element bearings, inside a stator. In normal operation, no frictional ignition sources should be present. However, because the clearances between the rotor and stator are very small, malfunctions such as the collapse of a shaft bearing, distortion of a rotating blade, build up of foreign material on a rotating blade, etc. could cause the clearance to be reduced and frictional sparking, or hot surfaces, to occur. To prevent potential ignition sources from becoming effective during normal operation, malfunction and rare malfunction, it is possible to incorporate sensors into the equipment to detect impending dangerous conditions and initiate control measures at an early stage of deterioration before the potential sources are converted into effective sources. The control measures applied, may be initiated automatically, via direct connections between the sensors and the ignition prevention system, or manually, by providing a warning to the equipment operator (With the intention of the operator applying the ignition prevention measures e.g. by stopping the equipment). In this document, the incorporation of such sensors and their associated automatic/manual ignition prevention measures, to prevent potential ignition sources becoming effective ignition sources, is known as protection by "Control of ignition source 'b' " This type of ignition protection, and the devices used to achieve it, can take many forms. In practice, they may be mechanical, electrical, optical, visual or a combination of all of these. Although this document deals with the ignition protection of non-electrical equipment, it nevertheless has to take account of the fact that an increasing amount of non-electrical equipment makes use of electrical sensors to detect and initiate the ignition prevention measures. It is therefore impossible to produce a non-electrical equipment protection standard without making reference to the use of electrical sensors and their associated ignition prevention system circuits. Some examples of mechanical sensor / actuator devices are: a) fuseable plugs (as used in fluid couplings), that melt to release the energy contained in the power transmission fluid before the temperature of ignition capable parts exceed allowable limits; b) centrifugal speed governors, that directly control the power throttle and prevent rotating parts attaining frictional ignition capable rotational speeds; c) thermostatic valves, that close to reduce the input energy, or open to increase the amount of coolant, thereby preventing ignition capable temperatures being attained; d) pressure relief valves (using springs or weights), that open to limit pressure levels and consequent temperature rise during gas compression. Alternatively, to protect against catastrophic failure leading to the exposure of unintended hot surfaces. Some examples of combined electro-mechanical sensor / actuator devices are: e) temperature, flow and level monitoring/control devices, that detect temperature / flow / level and initiate a solenoid valve to reduce the input energy, or increase the amount of coolant, f) optical pulse counters, that sense abnormal rotational speeds on the teeth of gears and send signals to a speed controller, g) vibration sensors, that detect abnormal vibration, from e.g. rolling element bearings, before they fail (usually indicated by high frequency vibrations), or rotating parts that are becoming out of dynamic balance (usually indicated by low frequency vibrations), EN 13463-6:2005 (E) 5h) conveyor belt alignment devices, that detect unintended frictional rubbing between the moving belt and fixed parts of the supporting structure, i) power transmission belt tension devices, that detect frictional slippage between the drive pulley and power transmission belt, due to loss of belt tension, j) wear detectors on clutches, which detect unacceptable wear likely to cause frictional heating by incorrect engagement of the clutch. Such sensor / actuator control devices may be either, continuously active in normal operation of the equipment (e.g. to control the temperature of category 3 equipment), or be arranged so that they only detect abnormal operation (e.g. to detect impending dangerous over-temperature in category 2 equipment). As malfunction of any of the above sensors / actuator control devices, may result in failure to apply the appropriate ignition prevention measure, they are critical to the ignition safety related parts of the equipment. This ignition protection standard therefore calls for them to be assessed and suggests a minimum quality for such devices in the form of an ignition prevention level (IPL) that the equipment manufacturer must attempt to achieve. Thus, to meet the requirements of this document, the non-electrical equipment manufacturer is required to perform both the ignition hazard assessment (required by EN 13463-1), and additionally, an evaluation, to determine the ignition prevention level (IPL) necessary to ensure that the sensors / ignition prevention system function when they are called upon to contain the ignition risk within tolerable limits. A flow diagram is provided at Annex A (Figure A.1) to assist the non-electrical equipment manufacturer follow the procedural stages described in this document. EN 13463-6:2005 (E) 61 Scope This document specifies the requirements for the design and construction of equipment, intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres, protected by the type of protection: Control of ignition source "b". This document supplements the requirements in EN 13463-1, the contents of which also apply in full to equipment constructed in accordance with this document. Equipment conforming with the relevant clauses of this document meet the requirements for the following categories: ⎯ Equipment Group I Category M2 – that does not contain an ignition source arising from severe operating conditions, in particular arising from rough handling and changing environmental conditions in mines; ⎯ Equipment Group II category 3 – that does not contain an ignition source in normal operation; ⎯ Equipment Group II category 2G or 2D – that does not contain an ignition source arising as a result of foreseeable malfunctions; ⎯ Equipment Group II category 1G or 1D – that does not contain an ignition source in normal operation, or under foreseeable malfunctions, or under rare malfunctions. NOTE The requirements for Group I, Category M1 equipment, are given in EN 50303, which specifies the requirements for both electrical and non-electrical equipment This type of protection can be used to produce category 3 equipment which otherwise would have an ignition source in normal operation, i.e. it is not able to conform with EN 13463-1 The type of ignition protection described in the standard can be used either on its own or in combination with other types of ignition protection to meet the requirements for equipment of Group I category M2, or Group II categories 1, 2 and 3 depending on the ignition hazard assessment in EN 13463-1. This document does not apply to: ⎯ control devices which are not intended to provide ignition protection; ⎯ the ignition protection of electrical

This year I want to be all about making presents for people. It's not because I don't want to spend the money, in fact sometimes homemade can end up more expensive than shop bought. It's just that I LOVE receiving a gift that someone has put time and effort into making and now that I have more time on my hands (for now) I want to be able to give my friends and family presents that are a bit more unique and personal … made with love I'd say!
…and popped it in a saucepan along with some boiling water. I never do measurements but I put enough in to cover the soap, and that did the job!
Stage 2 – I then brought the mixture to a boil while stirring it constantly to avoid sticking. Once it reached bubbling point I took the heat down to a simmer and used a spoon to mash up the pieces into more of a smooth texture. I didn't worry too much about getting all of the lumps out as it was going to harden again anyway! Next I added a tablespoon of oats to make the new soap an exfoliating one …then added tablespoon of oil to make the soap extra soft and soothing!
Stage 3 – I wanted the soap to look pretty as well as feel great so I added in some dried rose petals <3 Stage 4 – I then popped the mixture into 2 silicon cupcake cases. You can use anything like a cake baking tray, a tupperware pot, anything really depending on the shape that you want your soap to be. One Dove bar was enough for 2 average sized cupcake cases so bear that in mind when you decide how much to make.
I'm hooked on soap making now. It was so easy and I already have lots of great ideas for ingredients and shape! Have you guys made any scrummy handmade soaps or other beauty products?

My Romance news: iPhone apps, marketing director
MyRomanceStory is a division of Arrow Publishing that has been turning out romance comics for a while now — unspectacularly, but they made it this far, so something must have worked. A check of their website reveals these sorts of storylines, just so you know where we're coming from:
Volume 101. Surprised By Love The best surprises come wrapped in love…
Featuring:
Whitewater Rapture Could Wolf and Annie survive the consequences of one night of wild passionate love in the Canadian wilderness? Wildfire David was determined to have Ashley despite her bitterness toward men. But it took a dangerous forest fire and a midnight visit to finally break down her resistance.
A couple of press releases just out from the company. First, they have hired Valencia Wood as Director of Media Development to help "spearhead Arrow's expanding publishing offerings." Wood has worked on a variety of multimedia projects in film, music, and so on and hopes to get MyRomanceStory's works out into other media.
Wood's first move, via another press release, is to put their romance graphic novels on iPhones. This is one of the best press releases we've read in some time! Instead of the boring story of new content for mobile devices, price points blah blah, it's a story of frustrated desire, mixed signals and finally…union.
"The iPhone opens up an exciting platform for readers to experience our romance novels," says Pat White, CEO Arrow Publications, LLC, the publisher of MyRomanceStory.com. "The colors are vibrant and the text is easy to read."
However, getting these stories up was frustrating.
At times, MyRomanceStory editors suffered the same mixed signals as their fictional heroines since they were never sure what Apple wanted. Form emails would indicate that there was a problem with the submission, but wouldn't specify the text, image, or even the panel. As White explains, "We present stories of couples falling in love. That involves romantic and necessary intimate scenes. We spent a lot of time editing and re-editing. If only we could have spoken to someone at Apple to understand exactly what changes they wanted."
"We were sensitive to Apple's range of readers so we submitted edited versions targeting what we thought was a general audience," Managing Editor, Tom King, adds. "But although we edited out some of the love scenes and text, we still got rejections."
Once Apple launched its ratings system and got over the initial bottleneck of submissions, Arrow noticed a faster turnaround for its Apps approval.
It was clear that although Arrow and Apple were experienced in their respective fields, preparing content for worldwide digital delivery was a challenge. Content creators wanted specific feedback while Apple, working with a large, diverse group of developers, often required a one-size-fits-all approach. Through this entire process, Apple, too experienced the pains of becoming a movie distributor, music distributor and bookseller.
Romance fans can go to the iTunes App Store and search by keywords "myromancestory" or "romance story" to find the Arrow titles.
Wasn't that great? Please, marketing people, let's put the drama back into press releases!

"vibrant colours"? Shades of mud is vibrant?
Ever since Arnie the art director left, Carla the colorist only worked with one palette, always the same; the one he made with his sensual hands, his cobalt blue eyes boring into the screen that bathed his finely chiseled face in its flickering glow, that fateful night when…never mind.

As for the App, I am thrilled to see such movement. I am a closet romance hound and I would love to get my romantic stories / romantic-comedies to the people but I could never do it through the direct market because it would just die a thousand deaths.

Q: get value form array field name <td>
    <input type="text" id="percent[]" name="percent[]" class="form-control"/>
</td>

How to get value input field like above in Jquery?
I tried like this and jquery trigger event doesn't work
$('#percent').change(function(e) {
    var percent = $(this).val();
    var quantity = $('#quantity').val();

    alert(quantity);
    $('#quantity_recipe').val(quantity * percent);
});

A: Your selector is different from the id, that you try to select.
Either try to change the id or try to escape the braces like this #percent\\[\\]
\\ escapes the brackets, so that jQuery know it's a part of the id and not a part of the selector like button[name="explanation"], to select all buttons with the name "explanation".

Alternative Narrative Of Events In Libya, Africa, Middle East Slavery (Part 1). Alternative Narrative Of Events In Libya, Africa, Middle East Slavery (Part 1).
Alternative Narrative Of Events In Libya, Africa, Middle East Slavery (Part 1).
President Gaddafi of Libya may have been a megalomaniac, but he was an African megalomaniac and also an Islamic megalomaniac, in a world where his activities could be seen by the West as harmful to its interests in the war between the West and Soviet Russia.
This piece was written by Patrick Dele Cole. The views and opinions expressed here are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of cruzvibes.com.ng.
In the late 60's, 70's and 80', Gaddafi and to some extent Sekou Toure and Kwame Nkrumah, following different paths, arrived at the conclusion that they could benefit their countries by playing the West against the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), who had a virile policy of exporting communism everywhere to the world: Vietnam, Korea, Indonesia, India, Malaysia, Latin America, The Caribbean, etc.
Their preferred route was through the trade unions and student unions of these countries, nearly all of whose leaders studied in Russia.
There was a vibrant Trade Union Congress in Nigeria heavily infiltrated by the Soviet Union; they recruited students who went to Accra as a first step to going to study in Russia.
Sekou Toure did the same in Guinea; their leaders drove their countries into the Non-Aligned Movement which the West saw as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) organisation. These mushroom organisations of nascent left-wing organisation had to be stopped in Africa, South East Asia and Latin America.
What would happen to them if their leaders were removed? Thus, Sekou Toure (Guinea), Nkrumah (Ghana), Gamal Nasser (Egypt) and several leaders in South East Asia were replaced by leaders who were anti-Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR).
War erupted in most of South East Asia and in Africa, military coups removed Nkrumah and a weak Tafawa Balewa who the West felt did not fully understand the dangers of the communist seeds planted in the TUC and the student movements.
In the Maghreb, similar activities took place. Nasser was deposed and so was King Idris of Libya who was replaced by Gaddafi; the latter was even more egocentric than Nasser and set out to build a philosophy that was unique to Libya Jamahiriya but basically a Socialist Welfarist state where education, health, housing etc. were free.
The Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) did not mind this development. Gaddafi went about setting up himself as the liberator of feudalist Islamic countries like Yemen, Sudan, Somalia, Eritrea, etc. Add Israel into the mixed, confused cauldron; a country, which the Islamists regarded as an attempt by the West to throw a monkey wrench in "Socialist" Arab renaissance.
This was so, despite the fact that the original founders of Israel could not really be described as full capitalists, having drawn much of the strength through the establishment of Kibbutz – a welfarist organisation depending on self-help, etc.
In Congo, the pro-communist leader, Patrice Lumumba poised to take over suddenly died. In Ethiopia, the army overthrew a pro-western leader in Emperor Haile Selassie. In Egypt, Nasser nationalised the Suez Canal.
Iran meanwhile, nationalised the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, which produced 20 per cent of the oil used by the British Navy.
Arab resentment of Israel culminated in the 1967 war, which was disastrous to militant Arabism despite all the hype about its invincibility after the creation of the United Arab Republic. It was only a matter of time before all anti-Western leaders would be removed.
The narrative above has its vocal opponents. I merely point out that this narrative is an alternative to the extant ones that have reached other conclusions based on similar facts.
Gaddafi, however, survived all of this. His country is rich, his personality unpredictable but could, as the earlier part of his rule was not regarded as overtly anti-West.
In nearly all the countries which had colonial rule, there were nascent opposition groups who found their way to Tripoli, with its extensive intelligence and network, for support in their fight.
It will be difficult to characterize the nature of Libyan support for militant opposition in Congo, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Madagascar, Tanzania Ireland, etc.
The West believes that he supported or may have ordered the perpetrators of the bombing of the Panam flight which crashed in Lockerbie.
Gaddafi spent billions denying this charge (and making massive atonement) despite the imprisonment of one of his intelligence officers for the crime. The Maverick in him turned him into an avid supporter, first of the IRA, then of the British.
The French left and right wing received his support (Francois Mitterrand and Igor Sikorsky). He established a professional chair at London School of Economics (LSE).
He was even so supportive that he was able to proclaim that he wanted to join the nuclear world and was well on his way there.
The West needed Libyan oil, but more importantly, a Western controlled Mediterranean, having seen what could easily happen to the area in the long fight between Greece, Turkey, Cyprus, etc.
Gaddafi controlled insurgents in West Africa through using his acolyte, Thomas Sankara, in Burkina Faso. He established a formidable outpost there for paying money for wars and coups in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Niger, etc. Most of the arms of ANC in South Africa and Zimbabwe came from Gaddafi and China.
Nigeria was concerned in all these machinations and learnt early that its intelligence forces must contain the spread of Gaddafi to Niger, Chad, Cameroon, Liberia, Sierra Leone, etc.
It had a well sized intelligence outfit in these countries while operating a charm offensive to Gaddafi to dissuade him from his unpredictable ways and his obvious desire to be the African leader as well as the Arab leader.
He remained a strong North African leader, gave the West unlimited access to oil in Libya and considerable assurance of peace.
More important, he was a buffer between restive youths from Mali, Guinea, and Burkina Faso, etc. who wanted to go to Europe.
If Gaddafi was unpredictable to Africa, by 1980 and 1990s he was a terror to the West. But on the surface, he was at peace with them even though every dissident group in Europe and United States (U.S.) received money from Tripoli.
The West had sold him a formidable array of weapons but failed to train his troops properly in their deployment.
He had paid for the nuclear blueprint and was in fact, beginning to build it. Iran and Iraq were also on the same nuclear road. South Africa and Israel were already there.
So long as South Africa remained White, there was no fear even if it had nuclear capability. But with the collapse of apartheid, the South Africa nuclear capability had to be removed.
The West negotiated to stop the Libyan experiment which it did but they were not sure what Gaddafi would do. He had to go. The old, small resistance groups in Libya were now fully rearmed and helped to take over Benghazi in Eastern Libya.
The West financed them through oil purchase in Benghazi and a navel protection of the passage to Benghazi for the tankers and a bulwark against the Libyan Navy trying to get to Benghazi. Emboldened, the rebels began to plan a March on Tripoli.
The West supported this, enforced an aerial embargo and isolation of Gaddafi and jammed Libyan communication system and his air force and communications network was useless.
Finally, the United States (U.S.), United Kingdom (UK), and France bombed Tripoli and all Gaddafi troops and killed him, leaving a huge vacuum in Libya and also the immigrant's route to Europe.
The country deteriorated to Warlordism, thus encouraging other equally displaced persons in Syria, Iraq, Somalia and Yemen to seek to enter Europe through Libya.
Economic migrants from West Africa joined this train. This is the story of how Victor of Benin, our CNN hero could even think of going to Europe via Libya.

PT360: Episode 24 – Super Bowl Cameras Revealed, Nikon's Epic Photoshop Fail, an Ultra-Rare Leica, and Much More!
In this episode of PT360, we go behind the scenes of Super Bowl 50 to inspect some fancy new cameras they'll be using this year. We also investigate a self-flying camera, a Leica camera that's one of only 50 ever made, and the new reboot of the Olympus Pen-F. Read about a mom whose photography literally saved her son's life, Nikon's epic Photoshop fail, and explore the fluffy world of cat photography as well!
Super Bowl 50 Gets Fancy New Cameras
By Chris Martin (Flickr: Levi's Stadium) [CC BY 2.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0)], via Wikimedia Commons
Last year, the Super Bowl had "only" 40 cameras. A year later, that just won't do.
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the world's biggest sporting event, CBS Sports is unveiling a 70-camera system that includes some truly remarkable technology that's sure to make this year's game a joy to watch no matter the outcome of the game itself.
In addition to an updated skycam and pylon cams, CBS will introduce viewers to Eye Vision 360, a replay camera that can freeze any aspect of the game and revolve 360-degrees around the play to offer viewers at home a first-person view of any play or player.
If it sounds like fantasy or like something out of The Matrix, it isn't. It's just a lot of cameras synced together!
There will be 36 cameras ringing Levi's Field, each shooting the event in 5K resolution to create a single 360-degree view. And, since the technology will be used for replays, it has the capability of superimposing the virtual first-down lines that we've grown accustomed to as well.
With all the camera innovations happening this year, it's exciting to think about where home viewing of NFL football will be in a few more years!

Mother Claims Camera Flash Helped Detect Baby's Cancer
An Arizona mother is giving credit to her camera's flash for alerting her to a potential problem with her son's eyes.
Like any other parent, Andrea Temarantz used her mobile phone to take frequent pictures of her child. But when photographing her son, a four-month-old named Ryder, Temarantz noticed a white glow in his left eye.
At first, she blamed the phenomenon on a bad camera phone flash. But when the white glow appeared in photos she took with a Nikon D3300, she became concerned and took her son to the doctor.
As a result, Ryder was diagnosed with retinoblastoma in his left eye. The condition resulted in the development of a white mass in the back of Ryder's left eye, which reflected the light from his mother's camera and produced to strange white glow.
Fortunately, Temarantz's keen eye caught the abnormality early enough – the tumor had not spread to other areas of Ryder's body. Even though 50% of children with this condition die, Ryder has a 99% chance of living tumor-free.

Update: Olympus Pen-F Available in March
Olympus YouTube/Screenshot
We first reported on the upcoming Olympus Pen-F two weeks ago before many details were known about the camera. But now we know much more about this exciting reboot of Olympus' classic 35mm camera.
For starters, the Pen-F will feature a brand spanking new 20-megapixel micro four-thirds sensor that will allow purchasers to use various existing lenses in the Olympus line. The camera has a swiveling 3-inch touchscreen and an OLED viewfinder as well. Fancy features like Wi-Fi capability, 5-axis image stabilization, and mid-century modern aesthetics that make it look like a camera your grandpa bought in the 1960s, also make the camera worth a serious look.
Other goodies include an autofocus system that allows you to switch autofocus points while you're in the act of shooting. Users will also be able to take advantage of what's called "high res shot" mode, which moves the sensor in between shutter releases to create an image that's 50-megapixels. RAW shooting at 10fps and long-exposure capabilities round out some of the more impressive features in this little compact camera.
The Pen-F will be available in the United States in March at a price of just under $1,200.00.

Check Out This Incredible Flying Camera!
While the term "flying camera" probably evokes mental images of a drone, this is not a drone.
Instead, the flying camera by startup company Lily is quite literally a flying camera. No piloting skills are required. Its onboard cameras each have a separate microcontroller that make orderly, stable flight a possibility, all the while taking pictures and recording videos.
In fact, Lily is working out a few technical details that will allow the camera to follow you around, moving with your every movement to create a seamless video of whatever it is you're doing. Backyard football sessions or playing fetch with the dog can now be turned into high-quality aerial images. How cool is that?
There are a few kinks to be worked out, so the flying camera isn't quite ready to hit the shelves. But with a targeted ready date sometime this summer, the flying camera is poised to make the summer of 2016 one for the photo albums!

Oops of the Week
Nikon Gives Photography Award to Photographer That Faked the Image
Nikon/Facebook
Nikon Singapore recently held a photography competition and awarded its top honor to the image above.
The problem is, the image was Photoshopped, which Nikon evidently didn't notice.
The amateur photographer that took the shot claimed to have caught the airplane in a perfect frame as he ascended a ladder. However, eagle eye photographers the world over noticed immediately that the image was a fake.
Now, the image has gone viral, along with some pretty hilarious versions created by Nikon fans that weren't too excited the company selected for its winner a photo that was so clearly manipulated. The parodies of the image involve everything from Darth Vader to a roller coaster full of monks.
Apparently Nikon is taking the whole idea of "there is no such thing as bad press" to a whole new level!

Biden, the Autoworker, Gunz, Expletives, and Viral Videos
March>
Joe Biden was touring a Fiat Chrysler plant that was under construction in Michigan when he was confronted by a construction worker about his stance on gun control and the Second Amendment.
"You are actively trying to end our Second Amendment right and take away our guns," the worker told Biden.
Biden replied: "You're full of sh**."
As the argument ensued, the worker, who according to Fox News is Jerry Wayne, cited a viral video in which he claimed Biden said he was taking guns away.
"This is not OK, alright?" the man said, to which Biden replied, "Don't tell me that, pal, or I'm going to go outside with you, man."
Wayne insisted that Joe was working for him, and Joe told him he wasn't working for him, and told him not to be such a "horse's ass."
The viral video the man mentioned appears to be a clip that has been inaccurately characterized by guns-rights groups and on social media in recent days. The clip was taken from a livestream by Beto O'Rourke, the former Texas congressman and presidential candidate who endorsed Biden last week. The video shows Biden in a restaurant with O'Rourke and Amy Sanders O'Rourke, his wife. Biden looks into the camera and praises O'Rourke for his stance on gun control and climate change, and says he will recruit him to work in his administration if elected.
"And by the way, this guy can change the face of what we're dealing with, with regard to guns, assault weapons, with regard to dealing with climate change, and I just want — I'm warning Amy, if I win, I'm coming for him," Biden says in the video. The quote has been widely misconstrued to claim Biden said, "I'm coming for them."

Q: Quadratic Form Reduction By using Gauss's Method hey Guys i want to reduce this Quadratic Formula using Gaussian reduction:
$$q(x)=x^2_{1}+2 x_{1}x_{2}-x_{1}x_{3}-2x^2_{2}+x²_{3}$$
Now, if there is a Method like say an Algorithm please show it to me
thanks in advance

A: Here is the algorithm I asked about at  http://math.stackexchange.com/questions/1388421/reference-for-linear-algebra-books-that-teach-reverse-hermite-method-for-symmetr
when all is said and done, it gives your quadratic form as
$$  \left(x + y - \frac{z}{2}\right)^2 - 3 \left( y - \frac{z}{6}\right)^2 + \frac{5}{6} z^2$$

A: I got $$\left(\frac{\sqrt{3} x}{2}+\frac{2 y}{\sqrt{3}}\right)^2+\left(\frac{x}{2}-z\right)^2-\left(\sqrt{\frac{10}{3}} y\right)^2$$
First I wrote
$$(h y+j x)^2-k y^2+\left(\frac{x}{2}-z\right)^2$$
which once expanded becomes
$$\left(j^2+\frac{1}{4}\right) x^2+2 h j x y+h^2 y^2-k y^2-x z+z^2$$
hence $j^2+\dfrac{1}{4}=1$ and $j=\dfrac{\sqrt 3}{2}$
so the expression becomes
$$h^2 y^2+h\sqrt{3}  x y-k y^2+x^2-x z+z^2$$
This gives $h\sqrt{3}=2$ and then $h=\dfrac{2}{\sqrt 3}$ and again the expression becomes
$$x^2+2 x y-x z+\frac{4 y^2}{3}-k y^2+z^2$$
this means that $\dfrac{4}{3}-k=-2$ that is $k=\sqrt{\dfrac{10}{3}}$
And the expression is equal to the given
$$x^2+2 x y-x z-2 y^2+z^2$$
hope this helps


Mr. Ken and I are planning a trip to London, England this summer. Neither of us has ever been to England. Mr. Ken is the doer in our family and I am the planner. So I have been a busy little bee doing lots of research. I've been very fortunate to have several friends who have been to England many times. Their advice has been invaluable.
So, I am asking you all, my blogging friends for any tips for visiting London. We plan to be over there for two weeks. We will make London our home base and plan to take day trips as necessary. We will be staying in Notting Hill.
We love to walk. (Er, rather I like to walk. Mr. Ken likes to eat.) So, we'll do lots of walking tours. We both love history and I know England is full of history.
I will be doing several blog posts about our adventures leading up to the visit, as well as the visit itself. Here's the first installment.
You can't believe everything you read. So when I first put in our trip parameters, the ticket prices showed prices of $350 round trip. And this was on legitimate airlines. Wow, I thought, this is too good to be true. Well, yes it was. Once you go through the entire process, having to give everything up to your first born child, the price comes out to more like $1040. The breakdown of this huge jump shows there's lots of duty taxes, surcharges and what not.
In spite of all this, I was very impressed with Virgin Atlantic's process.
books to help plan our trip. I have the Michelin Guide and Fodor's.

Thanks for the tips, they are very helpful!

Dietrich Mahnke (* 17. Oktober 1884 in Verden; † 25. Juli 1939 in Fürth) war ein deutscher Philosoph und Mathematikhistoriker.

Mahnke legte das Abitur am Domgymnasium Verden ab und studierte bis 1906 Mathematik, Physik und Philosophie. Er war von 1911 bis 1927 Lehrer in Stade und Greifswald, von 1914 bis 1918 leistete er Wehrdienst als Offizier an der Westfront. 1925 promovierte er an der Universität Freiburg über Leibniz (Leibnizens Synthese von Universalmathematik und Individualmetaphysik, Jahrbuch für Philosophie und phänomenologische Forschung 1925) bei Edmund Husserl und wurde 1926 Privatdozent in Greifswald, 1927 dann Professor für Philosophie in Marburg. Als Dekan 1932–1934 unterzeichnete er im November 1933 das Bekenntnis der Professoren an den deutschen Universitäten und Hochschulen zu Adolf Hitler. Im darauffolgenden Jahr wurde er Mitglied der SA.

Als Mathematikhistoriker beschäftigte er sich vor allem mit Leibniz und dessen Entwicklung der Infinitesimalrechnung (Neue Einblicke in die Entdeckungsgeschichte der höheren Analysis, 1925). Er arbeitete an der Herausgabe des mathematischen Briefwechsels von Leibniz, was nach seinem Tod von Joseph Ehrenfried Hofmann fortgesetzt wurde. Er starb infolge eines Unfalls.

Mahnke war aktiv in der lutherischen Kirche und nicht mit den Rassemaßnahmen 1933 einverstanden.

World in Disarray: American Foreign Policy and the Crisis of the Old Order
Home/Books/World in Disarray: American Foreign Policy and the Crisis of the Old Order
Brands:A Richard Haass
An examination of a world increasingly defined by disorder and a United States unable to shape the world in its image, from the president of the Council on Foreign Relations
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold. The rules, policies, and institutions that have guided the world since World War II have largely run their course. Respect for sovereignty alone cannot uphold order in an age defined by global challenges from terrorism and the spread of nuclear weapons to climate change and cyberspace. Meanwhile, great power rivalry is returning. Weak states pose problems just as confounding as strong ones. The United States remains the world's strongest country, but American foreign policy has at times made matters worse, both by what the U.S. has done and by what it has failed to do. The Middle East is in chaos, Asia is threatened by China's rise and a reckless North Korea, and Europe, for decades the world's most stable region, is now anything but. As Richard Haass explains, the election of Donald Trump and the unexpected vote for "Brexit" signals that many in modern democracies reject important aspects of globalization, including borders open to trade and immigrants.
In A World in Disarray, Haass argues for an updated global operating system—call it world order 2.0—that reflects the reality that power is widely distributed and that borders count for less. One critical element of this adjustment will be adopting a new approach to sovereignty, one that embraces its obligations and responsibilities as well as its rights and protections. Haass also details how the U.S. should act towards China and Russia, as well as in Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. He suggests, too, what the country should do to address its dysfunctional politics, mounting debt, and the lack of agreement on the nature of its relationship with the world.

Trump impeachment trial
Wuhan coronavirus outbreak
What's moving markets today
The Kavanaugh hearing
By Veronica Rocha, Sophie Tatum and Brian Ries, CNN
Updated 5:14 p.m. ET, September 7, 2018
What we covered here
The Kavanaugh hearing: Senators questioned Judge Brett Kavanaugh and heard witness testimonies during the four-day confirmation hearing.
What's next: Senators will submit questions for Kavanaugh before voting the week of Sept. 17, according to GOP lawmakers and aides. A final vote will take place the last week of September.
Why this matters: If confirmed -- and it's looking like he will be -- President Trump's Supreme Court pick would replace a frequent swing vote on the bench, retired Justice Anthony Kennedy, who often sided with his liberal colleagues on issues such as abortion, affirmative action and LGBT rights. It's a lifetime appointment.

Lisa Blatt: "Kavanaugh is the best choice that liberals could reasonably hope for"
Lisa Blatt, a self-described "liberal feminist lawyer," praised Judge Kavanaugh as "the best choice that liberals could reasonably hope for" in a political reality where Republicans control the White House, Senate and House.
"Obviously I know that Judge Kavanaugh has a conservative judicial outlook. And if he is confirmed, he will have 1 of 9 votes to definitely decide the meaning of the Constitution, including how far to read it to protect the reproductive rights of women," she said.
"Now if it were up to me, Justice Ginsburg would have all 9 votes. But that's not our system, and the reality is, that the Presidency and the Senate, are in Republican hands. Judge Kavanaugh is the best choice that liberals could reasonably hope for in these circumstances."
Lindsey Graham vows to defend Mueller probe
From CNN's David Shortell
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham, speaking at Judge Brett Kavanaugh's hearing, vowed to defend special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russia's interference in the 2016 presidential election.
"There's a process to find out what happened in the 2016 election. It's called Mr. Mueller. And I will do everything I can to make sure he finishes his job without political interference and I'm here to tell anybody in the country who listens that this is so hypocritical of my friends on the other side," said Graham, a Trump ally.
He then returned to the issue at hand -- Kavanaugh's nomination.
Speaking directly to President Trump, Graham said, "You do some things that drive me crazy, you do some great things. You have never done anything better in my view than to pick (Supreme Court Justice Neil) Gorsuch and Kavanaugh."
Graham: "This is shaping up to be the hypocrisy hearing"
Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham described today's hearing -- at which Judge Brett Kavanaugh is finally about to speak -- as "the hypocrisy hearing," citing Democrats' outrage in contrast to their past positions with regards to President Bill Clinton nominating Justice Stephen Breyer while he was under investigation and Sen. Ted Kennedy choosing a "staff person."
He also brought up Roe v. Wade.
"Who would ever play politics on the campaign trail with Roe v. Wade, what a bastard Donald Trump is," he said, mimicking Democrats before quoting Hillary Clinton stating, "We need a Supreme Court that will stand up on behalf of women's rights."
He added, "If you even suggest that you will pick a nominee that's not gonna uphold Roe v. Wade that's the end of you, but you've figured that out, you don't need me to tell you. so this is the way we do politics, this is a big decision called Roe v. Wade, there are two sides and a bunch of nuances."
Kamala Harris: "I am concerned whether you would treat every American equally"
Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images
Democratic Sen. Kamala Harris explained to Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh why Lady Justice wears a blindfold -- because justice is blind to one's status in life, how much money they have, what they look like, who they're related to or how they speak.
"Every Supreme Court justice must understand and uphold that ideal," Harris told the nominee. "And sir, should those cases become before you... I am concerned whether you would treat every American equally or instead show allegiance to the political party and the conservative agenda that has shaped and built your career."
She added, "I am concerned your loyalty would be to the president who appointed you and not to the constitution of the United States."
For Kamala Harris, the next Supreme Court pick is personal
California Sen. Kamala Harris reflected on her life as a black woman to demonstrate the importance of confirming a Supreme Court pick.
She recalled starting her first day of kindergarten and being part of the second class of students to integrate Berkeley public schools.
"This was decades after the Supreme court ruled Brown v. Board of Education that separate was inherently unequal. As I've said many times, had Chief Justice Earl Warren not been on the Supreme Court of the United States, he could not have led a unanimous decision and the outcome then of that case may have been very different," Harris said.
She continued:
"Had that decision not come down the way it did, I may not have had the opportunities that allowed me to become a lawyer or a prosecutor. I likely would not have been elected district attorney of San Francisco or the attorney general of California. And I most certainly would not be sitting here as a member of the United States Senate. So for me a Supreme Court seat is not only about academic issues of legal precedent or judicial philosophy, it is personal."
Cory Booker tells Kavanaugh: "I cannot support your nomination"
New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker told Judge Brett Kavanaugh that he would not support his nomination and urged fellow colleagues to hold off on voting on the Supreme Court nominee.
"This to me is a profound and historical moment. I cannot support your nomination, not just because of the body of your work, but also the perverse process by which this comes forward," Booker said.
He continued: "We should not vote now. We should wait. And if we are not waiting, we should object to your nomination."
Grassley and Booker disagree on Kavanaugh, but their friendship remains intact
Sens. Cory Booker and Chuck Grassley just shared a moment of bipartisan friendship while talking about their fundamental disagreements with regard to the Kavanaugh documents.
Thanking Grassley, the Republican committee chairman, for the opportunity to make their case, "even though you have not ruled in our favor of which I'm disappointed," Democratic Sen. Booker told him, "I do hope you understand that I value your friendship" and "I've come to have a deep respect for you, sir."
Grassley responded, "If you worry about our friendship being affected it will not be" and touted the committee's history of producing bipartisan bills."
Booker thanked him, and said, "I appreciate that."
He then added: "It doesn't detract from the fact that I just fundamentally disagree with the way you've been concluding today."
Blumenthal: If Kavanaugh is confirmed, there will be an asterisk by his name
Connecticut Sen. Richard Blumenthal said Judge Brett Kavanaugh's nomination and confirmation process will always be considered tainted because it has been clouded in secrecy.
He joined fellow Democratic senators in asking why much of the documents from Kavanaugh's work in the Bush administration had not been released before Tuesday's hearing.
"I think that this process has been a grave disservice to you as well as this committee and the American people. If you are confirmed after this truncated and concealed process, there will always be a taint, there will always be an asterisk after your name. Appointed by a president named as an unindicted co-conspirator, after the vast majority of documents relating to the most instructive period of his life were concealed. The question will always be why was all that material concealed?" he said.
Father of Parkland student says he was ignored by Kavanaugh
From CNN's Brian Ries, Ariane de Vogue, and David Shortell
Fred Guttenberg, the father of a Parkland student, tweeted that when he walked up to Judge Brett Kavanaugh as the morning session ended and put out his hand to introduce himself, "He pulled his hand back, turned his back to me and walked away."
A source familiar with the encounter said that Kavanaugh did not know who he was and security intervened to end the exchange before there could even be a handshake.
The source explains an unidentified person approached Judge Kavanaugh. His security detail quickly stepped in because they did not know who the person was. When that occurred, and as security moved Judge Kavanaugh away from the man and toward an exit, the man began shouting at Judge Kavanaugh.
CNN has reviewed the video and it shows Guttenberg holding out his hand and Kavanaugh is seen listening to Guttenberg, expressionless, and then he turns away.
White House spokesman Raj Shah tweeted in response to Guttenberg.
"As Judge Kavanaugh left for his lunch break, an unidentified individual approached him. Before the judge was able to shake his hand, security had intervened," he said.
To that, Guttenberg responded, "Incorrect. I was here all day and introduced by Senator Feinstein. No security involved. He turned and walked away."

Worn Up is making school desks out of students' old uniforms
Australian circular economy hub
By Lucy Jones October 23rd, 2020
The company is finding new uses for the tonnes of textile waste that are thrown out each year.
What does practical circular economy action look like? In the lead up to the launch of Planet Ark's Australian Circular Economy Hub (ACE Hub), we are sharing inspiring stories from the individuals, businesses and community groups that are implementing circular economy principles in Australia.
Every school in Australia throws out an estimated 100-200kg of non-wearable uniforms each year. New sustainable start-up Worn Up offers to collect this textile waste from school uniform shops and transform it into new products that can be used by students. In collaboration with the UNSW's SMaRT centre and NSW Circular, the company is developing a flat panel building product from old school uniforms to build desks that can then be reused in schools.
Worn Up is the sister company of Sustainable Schoolwear, a business that has been supplying schools with eco-friendly uniforms for over five years. These two businesses work in tandem. Sustainable Schoolwear helps schools and students reduce their environmental impact by giving them access to uniforms that are made ethically, locally (where possible) and from high quality sustainable materials like GOTS certified organic cotton and recycled polyester. When these products reach the end of their life, or schools can no longer find a use for them, Worn Up steps in to reform them into new products.
We caught up with Anne Thompson, the woman behind both initiatives, to talk about building a circular model for textile reuse.
Who are you and what does your organisation do?
I'm the director or the founder of Sustainable Schoolwear and Worn Up. Both businesses are focused on creating an impact in what we make and how we take back what we make and process it. That's really where the circularity of what we do comes into play because we feel that you can't just have one life for something, it has to have multiple lives. Being circular, for us, means anything we make doesn't go straight to landfill. What we take back, we try and give another life to, through either making it into a different product or upcycling into the same product.
What problem/opportunity did you identify within the linear economy?
What we identified was that there was this false perception of what being sustainable costs you and it was often manipulated by the large suppliers because their margins are so deep.
There's 3,111 something schools in New South Wales and there's 9000 schools nationally, if not more. If you extrapolate that out and there's 400 kids who each wear one polo shirt for 1-2 terms, and a lot of the people that we're dealing with will buy five shirts for a child, it's quite a big problem in terms of what it's made of, it's poor quality polyester. What we're hoping to do is help companies and schools understand that if you made things out of a longer polymer, or better-quality fabric, you have a better opportunity at the end of life to turn it into something meaningful.
I think it's that systemic change that is really important and high-volume change. And that's what attracted me to uniforms, because you can generate the impact much more quickly than if you're doing it from a residential or from a fashion perspective.
What goals have you set in order to build a circular solution?
Our aim through Worn Up is to take 100 tonnes of uniforms — corporate, school, workwear — out of landfill in 12 months by developing a process of collection and processing [to turn] all of that into new products.
We will take something right back down to its fibre and then we reform it completely into a new product. We can add fabric into epoxy and create tiles and desks. [What] we're accomplishing with that is taking [textiles] out of landfill and then something that might only have one life … can have a second and third life.
This is a sneak peak of a case study that will be featured on the ACE Hub website when it launches on November 24 — follow our ACE Hub communications to read the full story and to stay up to date with other developments of the Hub.
The ACE Hub officially launches on November 24 with an online event that will be live broadcast from the Sydney Opera House. Join us for a morning of talks from some of the brightest minds in the Australian and international Circular Economy space. Head here for more information and to secure your ticket.

LOS ANGELES -- The knife found on O.J. Simpson's former property does not have any connection to the murder case of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman, Los Angeles police said.
The LAPD made the confirmation on Friday. ABC News reported in early March that the knife is not the murder weapon that was used in the 1994 stabbings.
The item was found by a construction worker at the site, possibly around the time the home was being demolished, which was in 1998.
The civilian gave it to retired officer George Maycott, who was working an off-duty movie job.
Maycott immediately called the West Los Angeles Police Department to tell them he was handed a knife, his attorney Trent Copeland said.
The person on the phone placed Maycott on hold and said she spoke to a supervisor who said the case was over, and there was nothing they could do due to double jeopardy, according to Copeland.
Authorities said the retired officer held onto the knife and kept it in a tool box for 15 years until recently.
Copeland described the weapon as a 5-inch buck knife covered with dirt and mud. He said there were no obvious signs of blood on the knife. Law enforcement officials told ABC News the likely real murder weapon was bigger and possibly "exotic."
Copeland also said Maycott was buying materials at the academy and asked someone for a records number on the Simpson case. Jokingly, Maycott decided to put the number on the knife and frame it.
The weapon was taken into custody on Feb. 10, and Maycott did not resist, Copeland said.
The LAPD said although the knife has no connection to the murder case, the investigation remains open.


Cars forged its name as one of the premiere sports car racing builders and teams of the 60s. RM Auctions will sell the third car that the company ever built at its Arizona auction on January 16 and 17.
Jim Hall took the fortune that he made in the Texas oil boom, and instead of living a life of luxury, he went racing. Hall started as a successful club racer and decided that he wanted to build cars of his own. He founded Chaparral Cars in 1960.
four-speed transmission. Five of the cars were built, including one prototype that was never raced.
The car on sale is car number 3, and Hall himself drove it with three other drivers to take a class win and sixth-place overall finish in the 1962 12 Hours of Sebring.
By 1964, the Chaparral 1 was already outclassed, and Hall sold the both of the cars he owned to finance development of the Chaparral 2AChaparral 2 ChevroletUnited States of America, 1963 > present, which truly launched the company's success by winning major races in Europe and the US.
RM's car was last sold in August 2004 for $1,111,000. It is predicting the price to between $2,250,000 and $2,750,000 when it goes on sale in January.
