If you are considering a career as a legislator, when doing your career planning or job search you should realize that it could be an extremely competitive field. There is great demand for most legislative jobs. Legislators, who are sometimes referred to as "law makers," do much what the name indicates in that they make laws for other people to follow. Yet, that is a bit of an oversimplification as the process can be laborious and quite difficult and time consuming.
Laws are often the result of lengthy negotiations between different parties. The general term "legislator" also covers a fairly wide group of government officials, as law makers can range from local elected official to state elected officials and, of course, national elected officials. The responsibilities can differ greatly as well, depending upon the job title held. Some positions do not require legislators to work year round, however.
Most are very surprised to learn how many legislators the government at all levels currently employ. As of 2006, there were about 65,000 legislators working in the United States. Of course, this number is spread out across all 50 states and represents local legislators as well.
The number of legislators should stay fairly stable and competition will often remain high. However, depending upon the district, region and specific legislative job, some legislative positions may be less competitive than others.
While the job can change greatly depending upon the title and position, legislators at all levels of government, make laws. At the local level, the educational and professional background of legislators can vary. But at the state and federal level, those with law degrees and businessmen usually dominate the "playing field." It is important to note that a local legislator's experience and workday is likely to be vastly different, when contrasted with that of a senator, for example.
Legislators can average between $13,000 and $39,000 annually, with the top ten percent earning as much as $75,000 per year.
There are legal requirements for holding most offices, such as being a citizen, as well as age requirements. Many who enter the political arena and become legislators, especially at the Federal level, have a legal background and are usually lawyers and businessmen. However, historically other professions have been represented as well. Due to the fact that the nature of the positions varies so greatly, it is no surprise that the responsibilities and requirements for the position differ greatly as well. Those seeking to become a legislator will be well served by demonstrating solid public speaking skills, as communication is key. A strong educational background and evidence of volunteer work is also important for those seeking to work as legislators.

Q: How do I call extension methods from outside the class they are defined in? Here is a minimal example that demonstrates the problem:
abstract class Base {
    abstract fun String.extension(x: Char)
}

class Derived : Base() {
    override fun String.extension(x: Char) {
        // Calling lots of methods on String, hence extension method
        println("${first()} $length ${last()} ${firstOrNull { it == x }} ...")
    }
}

Calling the extension method from Java is trivial:
Base o = new Derived();
o.extension("hello world", 'l');

But I can't figure out how to do it in pure Kotlin. Neither String nor Base seems to have the extension method.

A: First, note that an extension function defined as a member requires two receivers, one is an instance of the enclosing class (dispatch receiver, usually this of the enclosing class) and the other is the instance of the type that the function extends (extension receiver). This is documented here.
So, to call such a function from outside the class you have to provide two receivers. Kotlin doesn't have any syntax to do that explicitly like (x, "abc").stringExtension(), but you can provide the dispatch receiver implicitly using an extension lambda:
class C(val name: String) {
    fun String.extended() = this + " extended by " + name
}

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val c = C("c")
    with(c) { println("abc".extended()) }
}

(runnable demo of this code)
In the with(...) { ... } block, c becomes the implicit receiver, thus allowing you to use it as a dispatch receiver in C member extensions. This would work with any other function that uses functional types with receivers: apply, run, use etc.
In your case, it would be with(o) { "hello world".extension('l') }
As @KirillRakhman noted, an extension receiver of an extension function for C can also be implicitly used as a dispatch receiver for the extensions defined inside C:
fun C.someExtension() = "something".extended()

A: To decale an extension method outside the class using it, you should NOT implement it inside a class, and you should do like this:
package com.sample.test

import java.io.File

fun File.folderLength() : Long {
    return 0L
}

So in your class that call this method:
package com.sample.util

import com.sample.test.*
import java.io.File

class foo{
    fun getFolderSize(url: String) : Long{
        var file = new File("...")
        var length = file.folderLength()
        return length
    }
}

Hope this should help you.

A: Your extension function is defined only inside of Base/Derived class. See Declaring Extensions as Members.
abstract class Base {
    abstract fun String.extension(x: Char)
}

class Derived : Base() {
    override fun String.extension(x: Char) {
        // Calling lots of methods on String, hence extension method
        println("${first()} $length ${last()} ${firstOrNull { it == x }} ...")
    }

    fun callExtension(c: Char) {
        "hello".extension(c)
    }
}

fun main(args: Array<String>) {
    val base = Derived()
    base.callExtension('h')
}

The people of Nigeria have spoken and voted in a new president, ousting Goodluck Jonathan in an election marred by Islamist insurgency, inequality, and corruption. Nigerians on Tuesday by a wide margin chose former military ruler Muhammadu Buhari, according to election results reported by The New York Times.
The election was the most competitive one in the country's history, in one of the largest democracies in the world. If power is handed over peacefully, since Jonathan conceded the race by telephone call, it will be a major shift for the nation that spent much of its post-colonial history shaken by military coups, The Times reported.
Buhari defeated Jonathan getting nearly 55 percent of the vote to Jonathan's 45 percent. Nigeria has been governed by the People's Democratic Party since the end of military rule in 1999. Jonathan publicly thanked Nigerians for the opportunity to lead them, and kept his word to deliver "free and fair elections." "Nobody's ambition is worth the blood of any Nigerian," Jonathan told The Times. "The unity, stability and progress of our dear country is more important than anything else."
The people celebrated in their neighborhoods because Buhari has been very popular in much of the country. There have been frequent attacks in Kano by the Boko Haram militant group, which kidnapped hundreds of women and girls and slaughtered thousands of Nigerians over the years (1.5 million have been displaced in Nigeria and adjacent countries). Under Jonathan's watch, Boko Haram's insurgency affected the country's economy, oil prices have fallen, and corruption scandals tarnished the president's image, The Times reported.
Buhari vowed to fix the country's budget and tackle corruption as vigorously as he did when ruling Nigeria two decades ago. Buhari swept the capital Lagos, competitive states in the north, center, and southwest parts of Nigeria, including Kano, the second-largest city. People were wary of election corruption because military intervened and caused the electoral commission to delay the vote for six weeks.
"People need to feel safer. After that, corruption and jobs," Ibrahim Sanusi, 24, a civil servant told The Times. "We need peace of mind. That is what the government must provide."

Hundreds of street vendors are due to be reimbursed an average of $500 each because the city charged them too much in fines, the Post reports. Sean Basinski of the Street Vendor Project tells the paper that vendors were gouged for code violations, like setting up too close to a sidewalk, in at least 569 summonses during the last six years, to the tune of $230,000 total. That's a lot of falafel. [NYP, Earlier]

Published on Apr 25, 2017 at 7:38 am in SEO. Written by Ryan Raplee.
Do you know the difference between HTTPS and HTTP protocol? First, let's take a step back and explain both terms. The HTTP/HTTPS protocol is that weird beginning part of your law firm's website URL. It's parked in front of your site's domain name, and it essentially governs how data is transferred between your website and the browser making a request to view your website.
HTTPS stands for "Hyper Text Transfer Protocol Secure" and is the secure version of HTTP. HTTPS protocol means that all the communications between a website and web browser are encrypted. What this means is that no hackers or malicious software can intercept and understand the data behind an HTTPS protocol.
Other than the obvious perk of securing any data attached to your website's contact form submissions, there are multiple benefits to using HTTPS protocol over HTTP. HTTPS protocol offers a slight boost in SEO, for example. Back in August of 2014, Google made HTTPS an official ranking signal, albeit minor.
According to a new study from Moz, 50% of page-1 Google results are now HTTPS. This number is up 20% from a study they did 9 months ago. Things are starting to ramp up. This is likely due to the extra pressure Google Chrome added back in October of 2016 when the browser started warning users about visiting non-secure webpages containing password and credit card form input fields.
The number of websites to adopt HTTPS is going to increase—there is no doubt about it. The Moz article projects that the number of page-1 results with HTTPS could hit around 65% by the end of 2017.
If your law firm cares about SEO as a means of driving traffic to your website to get new leads and is in a competitive local market where your competition is doing SEO as well, you should make the switch to HTTPS sooner than later.
For some of you, that switch is going to be easy. For others, it won't. But that's why we're here to help.
Here at Legal InSites, we use WordPress as our content management system for every website we build. We then host them all on our favorite webhost, WP Engine. WP Engine makes it nearly trivial to order and set up the necessary SSL certificate required to start using HTTPS (notice I say nearly trivial—there's almost always something to fix!).
Go ahead and get in touch with us if you'd like to learn more. We're more than happy to help law firms put their best SEO feet forward while maximizing their website's security at the same time. For us, HTTPS just makes sense. It should for you, too.

Q: gatsbyjs, reactjs - why components are rendering twice and images do not appear? I am new to gatsbyjs and using v2.
I've 3 components - loader, header and layout.
layout.js
import React from "react"
import Helmet from 'react-helmet'
import { StaticQuery, graphql } from 'gatsby'
import Header from "./header"
import Loader from "./loader"
import 'bootstrap/dist/css/bootstrap.min.css'
import "./layout.module.css"

const Layout = ({ children }) => (
    <StaticQuery
      query={graphql`
        query SiteTitleQuery {
          site {
            siteMetadata {
              title
              menuLinks {
                name
                link
              }
            }
          }
        }
      `}
      render={data => (
        <React.Fragment>
          <Helmet
            title={'tite'}
            meta={[
              { name: 'description', content: 'Sample' },
              { name: 'keywords', content: 'sample, something' },
            ]}
          >
          </Helmet>
          <Loader />

{children}

        </React.Fragment>
      )}
    />
  )

  export default Layout

In index.js
import React from 'react'
import Layout from "../components/layout"

export default () => (
  <Layout>
  </Layout>
)

Every component is being rendered twice as shown in screenshot.

Another issue I am facing with images. All the images are in src/images/ and when I use it as below in header component:
import React from "react"
import { Link } from 'gatsby'
import styles from "./layout.module.css"

const logo = 'src/images/logo.png';

const Header = ({ siteTitle, menuLinks }) => (

    <nav className={`${styles.navbar} navbar-expand-lg ${styles.menu_one} ${styles.menu_four}`}>

The image doesn't show up on a page. I checked Source in chrome developer tools and found that images are not being served via webpack.
So, why components render twice and why image doesn't show up ? what am I missing or doing worng here ?

A: I had the same issue when using the gatsby-plugin-layout plugin. The doc is not really clear, but when using the gatsby-plugin-layout plugin, you don't need to wrap your page between the Layout component. That plugin takes care of this automatically. If you explicitly wrap your JSX between the Layout component, the Layout is rendered twice.

A: I'm not sure why your page is loading double components, are you coming to the site directly, or from another path?

For your image not showing up, this is why:
Everything in your src folder is meant to be dynamic, meaning it won't be served directly. If you want to include image statically, you can create a public folder in your root directory (at the same level with src folder), and put images in there. Anything in this public folder will be served directly. So for example, you can have this structure:
 |-- src
 `-- public
       `-- images
            `-- logo.png

Then in your code, you can include the path like

I think for a logo like your use case, this method is sufficient. However, if you always link images like this, you'll be missing out a lot of gatsby's cool feature. For example, gatsby can load your image lazily, or optimize the file size! You can learn more here (gatsby official blog).

" calling on the tech giant to provide better working conditions for its employees and to reduce its expanding carbon footprint. The protests come just as the New York Times reports that the Seattle-based company has been on a hiring spree this year, expanding its global workforce.
"During the Covid-19 pandemic, Amazon became a trillion dollar corporation, with CEO Jeff Bezos becoming the first person in history to amass $200 billion in personal wealth," the campaign states on its website. "Meanwhile, Amazon warehouse workers risked their lives as essential workers, and faced threats and intimidation if they spoke out for their rights to a fair wage."
"Amazon warehouse workers risked their lives as essential workers."
Launched on Black Friday, the campaign provides a list of demands for Amazon, which include raising pay for workers in Amazon's warehouses, extending paid sick leave, and allowing workers to organize in unions. The campaign also tasks Amazon with "committing to zero emissions by 2030" and paying back society by "ending partnerships with police forces and immigration authorities that are institutionally racist" and "paying taxes in full, in the countries where the real economic activity takes place."
The campaign lists a wide variety of international partners, including Progressive International, Amazon Workers International, 350.org, Greenpeace, and more. And the organization has planned a number of demonstrations in countries around the world. "Today there's a global day of action with strikes, protests, and stunts across five continents," James Schneider, the communications director for Progressive International, tells The Verge.
The first demonstration got underway with a strike in Sydney, Australia, he says. Stunts — some in person and some online — are planned to take place in the Philippines, Bangladesh, India, Germany, Poland, Spain, Luxembourg, France, Greece, the United Kingdom, the United States, and more. Organizers have projected the "Make Amazon Pay" slogan on Amazon buildings in London, Berlin, and Hyderabad. A hashtag of #MakeAmazonPay is listed on the campaign's website, and those who support the initiative can sign a petition on the site to "tell Jeff Bezos directly."
"We're asking people to add their name to those common demands and to donate to the strike funds for Amazon workers," Schneider says. "So, today is just the start of the campaign. We aim to build the strike fund to enable further strikes and protests following this day of action."
The Make Amazon pay campaign comes at the end of a dynamic year for Amazon. The pandemic created an increased demand for Amazon's online shopping services, pushing the company to greatly expand its workforce in 2020. Amazon now employees more than 1.2 million employees around the world, after adding 427,300 workers between January and October, according to the New York Times.
"today is just the start of the campaign."
At the onset of the pandemic, Amazon workers staged protests in an attempt to get the company to take COVID-19 seriously. In October, Amazon revealed that 19,816 of its front-line workers have contracted the virus. On Thanksgiving, Amazon said it would provide holiday bonuses for its employees, with full-time workers receiving $300 and part-time workers receiving $150.
"The pandemic has exposed how Amazon places profits ahead of workers, society, and our planet," the coalition says on its website. "Amazon takes too much and gives back too little. It is time to Make Amazon Pay."
An international group of climate activists and Amazon warehouse workers have launched an online campaign called "Make Amazon Pay," calling on the tech giant to provide better working conditions for its employees and to reduce its expanding carbon footprint. The protests come just as the New York Times reports that the Seattle-based company has been on a hiring spree this year, expanding its global workforce.

Trump dodges, then dismisses, Russia scrutiny
By Matthew Nussbaum and Madeline Conway
Updated: 02/16/2017 04:45 PM EST
President Donald Trump dodged and then dismissed lingering questions about his relationship with Russia during his long-winded news conference on Thursday — first describing recent reports on the scrutiny as "fake news," then saying he has no knowledge of campaign associates contacting the country before the election.
"No, nobody that I know of," Trump said.
Trump did not, notably, say definitively that his campaign had no contact with Russian officials, but vaguely offered that he had no knowledge that it had.
As reporters gathered in the East Wing on Thursday, Russia was the big topic in the news: The New York Times and CNN, citing anonymous intelligence officials, reported Tuesday that advisers to Trump's campaign were in regular contact with Russian associates before the election. The reports raised eyebrows because the U.S. has accused the Russian government of attempting to sway the election in Trump's favor through cyberattacks on Democratic Party officials, and Trump stood out during the campaign for his unusually friendly stance toward the country, which most American lawmakers view as a major adversary.
Reporters repeatedly tried to pin Trump down on Thursday and get him to answer, definitively, whether he denies the reports. He had previously said his campaign had no contact with Russia before the election.
Early on in the more-than-hour-long spectacle, Trump described the concerns about Russia as "fake news" and asserted that a bigger issue is the leaks coming out of the intelligence community and the Justice Department to the news media.
"You can talk all you want about Russia, which was all, you know, fake news, fabricated ... to try and make up for the loss of the Democrats and the press plays right into it," Trump said.
"In fact, I saw a couple of the people that were supposedly involved with all of this," he continued, referring to the reports. "They know nothing about it. They weren't in Russia. They never made a phone call to Russia. They never received a phone call. It's all fake news. It's all fake news."
He blamed the leaks for the unceremonious ouster of his national security adviser, Michael Flynn, who left the administration Monday in the wake of reports that he had improperly discussed sanctions on Russia with the country's ambassador and then misled Vice President Mike Pence about it. Flynn is one of the officials who was reportedly in contact with Russia before the election.
Next, asked directly whether anyone involved in his campaign was in communication with representatives from the Russian government or its intelligence officials, Trump said the Times report was "very much discredited" (it hasn't been, although former Trump adviser Paul Manafort has denied the allegations described by intelligence officials in the story, as the president noted).
A bit later, another reporter asked him to "say definitively that nobody on your campaign had any contacts with the Russians during the campaign." And the reporter inquired whether the Russia reports were "fake news" or whether they were "real leaks," given that both things cannot be true at the same time.
Trump ignored the Russia question. Instead, he asserted that the "leaks are real, you're the one that wrote about them and reported them" but that "the news is fake because so much of the news is fake," then went on a short rant about CNN and Democrats for fighting his Cabinet appointments.
The reporter tried again, prodding Trump to answer the first part of his question. Trump sort of did, saying he has "nothing to do with Russia" and "no deals there, I don't know anything." He added that he had nothing to do with the Democratic Party emails published on WikiLeaks, before changing the subject to attack Hillary Clinton.
Then Trump got another question on Russia: Did he direct Flynn to discuss sanctions on Russia with its ambassador? No, Trump said.
Throughout the rest of the news conference, Russia continued to come up, again and again.
At one point, Trump described "the whole Russian thing" as a "ruse," before defending his posturing toward the country's president, Vladimir Putin. A bit later, he independently warned of the dangers of a "nuclear holocaust" while addressing the need for a positive relationship with the Kremlin.
"Nuclear holocaust would be like no other," Trump said, responding to a question about recent provocative actions Russia has taken.
"Not good," Trump said repeatedly as CBS's Major Garrett ticked off the recent incidents, which include Russian planes buzzing an American ship and a Russian vessel sailing near the coast of Connecticut where a military facility is located.
"All of those things that you've mentioned are very recent because probably Putin assumes that he's not going to be able to make a deal with me because it's politically not popular for me to make a deal," said the president, who added that he doesn't "think" Putin is testing him.
"I don't know that we're going to make a deal," Trump added. "I want to do the right thing for the American people, and to be honest, secondarily, I want to do the right thing for the world. … Don't forget, we're a very powerful nuclear country, and so are they. There's no upside. We're a very powerful nuclear country and so are they. I have been briefed. And I can tell you, one thing about a briefing that we're allowed to say because anybody that ever read the most basic book can say it, nuclear holocaust would be like no other. They're a very powerful nuclear country, and so are we."
Trump reiterated, as he has said before, that it would be best if the United States and Russia got along.
"Maybe I'm not going to be able to do a deal with Russia, but at least I tried," Trump said.
That tangent did not satisfy reporters who wanted a clear response to the New York Times report.
A few minutes later, one tried again: "I was just hoping that we could get a yes or no answer on one of these questions involving Russia," she said. "Can you say whether you are aware that anyone who advised your campaign had contacts with Russia during the course of the election?"
Trump at first started talking about Flynn's contact with Russia before the inauguration, and the reporter prompted, "During the election?"
This time, the press got an answer.

Sagrada Familia es una comuna situada en el departamento Río Primero, provincia de Córdoba, Argentina.

Se encuentra situada a 100 km de la Ciudad de Córdoba, a 20 km de Villa Santa Rosa (Ruta 10), y a 15 km de Santiago Temple (Ruta 19).

Esta localidad se encuentra entre 5 y 6 km del Río Suquía o más conocido como Río Primero, principal afluente de la Laguna Mar Chiquita.

La principal actividad económica es la agricultura seguida por la ganadería, siendo el principal cultivo la soja, seguida por el maíz, el trigo, la avena y el maní. Por mucho tiempo la extracción láctea fue la principal actividad, tal es así que los tamberos  crearon una cooperativa lechera, que hoy se encuentra en desuso.

El clima de la localidad es templado con estación seca, registrándose unas precipitaciones anuales de 700 mm aproximadamente.

Existen en la localidad un puesto sanitario, un puesto policial, un juzgado de paz, una escuela primaria, un edificio comunal, un club, una iglesia y bares a los cuales los parroquianos acuden a "tomar una vuelta", como se dice en la zona.

Población
Cuenta con , lo que representa un incremento del 18% frente a los  del censo anterior.

Sismicidad
La sismicidad de la región de Córdoba es frecuente y de intensidad baja, y un silencio sísmico de terremotos medios a graves cada 30 años en áreas aleatorias. Sus últimas expresiones se produjeron:

 , a las 17.00 UTC-3, con 6,5 Richter, escala de Mercalli VII; ubicación ; profundidad: 100 km; produjo daños en Deán Funes, Cruz del Eje y Soto, provincia de Córdoba, y en el sur de las provincias de Santiago del Estero, La Rioja y Catamarca

 , a las 2.37 UTC-3, con una magnitud aproximadamente de 5,5 en la escala de Richter (terremoto de Córdoba de 1947)

 , a las 6.20 UTC-3 con 6,9 Richter: además de la gravedad física del fenómeno se unió el desconocimiento absoluto de la población a estos eventos recurrentes (terremoto de Villa Giardino de 1955)

 , a las 8.53 UTC-3 con 4,1 Richter

 , a las 21.42 UTC-3 con 4,0 Richter

Edificios

 Tanque de Agua: es muy característico en localidades pequeñas que se encuentren edificios como estos que se han construido por el incremento de la población y por normativas provinciales. Esta edificación se construyó en el periodo  1993 - 1995, se comenzó la obra porque el abastecimiento del tanque anterior no era suficiente y por disposición de DIPAS.
 Monolito de Bienvenida: Fue ideado por el señor Raúl Ellena (exjefe comunal), a partir del monolito que se encuentra en la Av. Fuerza Aérea de la Ciudad de Córdoba, en honor a los santos patronos de la localidad, La Sagrada Familia.
 Edificio Comunal: Como primer edificio,se utilizó la actual sacristía de la iglesia, atendido por una secretaria, esto ocurrió desde 1973 a 1983.En 1983, se comienza a construir la actual sede,se culminó aproximadamente en 1992 en la misma había el primer teléfono semi-público de la zona. En el año 2004 se realizó la ampliación para una sala de reuniones y está como hoy se ve.
 Juzgado de Paz:Desde el 2 de mayo de 2012 a cargo de la señora Nelvi Garriela Murature , actualmente el horario de atención del Juzgado de Paz  son los días Martes  y jueves de 9:00 a 12:00 horas .
 Club Atlético :Unión: Su fundación esta en el año 1946 , siendo elegido presidente el señor Juan Flancisco Mangiarotti . En 1994 se termina de construir, el dinero para hacer esta obra fue obtenido por medio de donaciones de los vecinos

SA's peak arts industry body has warned it will be targeting marginal seats in the lead-up to the state election after its plea for new funding to redress the "dire" situation facing the sector was ignored in yesterday's budget.
A performance by SA music ensemble Soundstream Collective.
Treasurer Tom Koutsantonis's 2017-18 budget included funding for a number of arts projects, including an extra $31 million for the upgrade of Her Majesty's Theatre, $1.25 million for next year's Adelaide Festival and $1.9 million for an international search to find a designer for the new Adelaide Contemporary Gallery on the old Royal Adelaide Hospital site.
However, there was no money for the Arts Industry Council of South Australia's proposed initiatives to support what it describes as "the heart of art making".
"While we recognise that this budget has seen no cuts to the arts, overall the Government has ignored the calls of artists and arts organisations to redress the dire and stagnant funding environment facing individual artists and small-to-medium arts organisations in South Australia," AICSA chairperson Gail Kovatseff said in a statement.
"New initiatives have entirely focused on capital investment and major institutions. We welcome these initiatives.
In a letter sent to the Treasurer late last year, the council, which represents more than 100 SA organisations and artists, pitched a survival plan for the sector which would have cost $4.2 million in 2017-2018 and $17 million over four years.
Its proposals included a new development fund offering grants to early-career artists, a $2 million annual increase in funding for peer-assessed programs benefitting small-to-medium arts organisations and individual artists, and a new grants program for innovative and experimental arts projects. It also urged the State Government to set up a cross-departmental taskforce to develop a longer-term arts and culture strategy before the next state election.
A number of South Australia's small and medium arts organisations were left reeling last year after being defunded by federal funding body the Australia Council.
Although the State Government has said it is investing $1.1 million into Arts South Australia's delivery of its programs, the AICSA said this was merely a "one-year reprieve from savings/efficiencies, which maintains the status quo".
Kovatseff said AICSA will ask all parties contesting the next state election to release their arts policies.
"We've always been clear that these are critical needs of the industry and we will run an election campaign highlighting the various parties' positions on the arts …we will target marginal seats," she told InDaily.
She said it did not believe the State Government understood the "breadth of the arts sector".
InDaily has sought comment from the Government.

Museum connects with Google Arts & Culture
by Hillary Brown

Highlights of the Georgia Museum of Art's collection going virtual
You can't visit the galleries of the Georgia Museum of Art at the University of Georgia in person right now, but you can experience its collection virtually beginning May 18 (International Museums Day) through Google Arts & Culture.
If you search "Georgia Museum of Art," more than 160 copyright-cleared works of art in the museum's collection, as well as an online exhibition of the works donated by C. Herman and Mary Virginia Terry, will be available at https://artsandculture.google.com/ and on the Google Arts & Culture app, available for download on Android and iOS. The images are high resolution, meaning visitors to the site can zoom in and get closer to some paintings than they could in real life, illuminating hard-to-view details.
Many of the museum's most beloved works of art are included, such as Elizabeth Jane Gardner's "La Confidence" and Radcliffe Bailey's large multimedia work of art "7 Steps," both of which have been included in the museum's Fifth-Grade Tour Program for years. Some works normally seen only under glass, including miniature portraits, can be examined much more closely than usual. The museum made sure to draw from a wide variety of works in its collection, including decorative arts, Renaissance drawings, works by African American artists donated by Larry and Brenda Thompson and many of the original 100 American paintings that made up its initial collection.
The Terry family donated 14 paintings and works on paper from their personal collection to the museum two years ago. Mrs. Terry and her late husband have generously supported many endeavors across the University of Georgia for decades, including the Terry College of Business – which bears their name.
Their desire for the public to see these works makes that exhibition an ideal one with which to launch the museum's works on Google Arts & Culture. Google Arts & Culture also allows people to compare works from many institutions within the same platform. That means people can look at the Maurice Prendergast painting the Terrys donated and draw connections between it and ones by the same artist at the Phillips Collection, in Washington, D.C., the Whitney Museum of American Art, in New York, and the North Carolina Museum of Art.
In a time when travel and many major loan exhibitions that draw from multiple collections will be canceled, this platform offers the opportunity to travel the world and assemble your own.
The International Council of Museums (ICOM) established International Museum Day in 1977 to increase public awareness of the role of museums in the development of society. In 2019, International Museum Day garnered record-breaking participation with more than 55,000 museums hosting events in some 150 countries. The theme for 2020 is "Museums for Equality: Diversity and Inclusion." Making the Georgia Museum of Art's collection more accessible in this way is a step toward those goals, although many others still need to be taken, including the expansion of high-speed internet access. More information on International Museum Day is available at http://imd.icom.museum/.
The Georgia Museum of Art also maintains an online collections database accessible to the public at https://emuseum.georgiamuseum.org/, which it updates frequently.

2016: archive project
by Zanny Begg
23 Feb 2008	• Comment (0) • Print • PDF
Posted: Race/Matter [2]	| Commons Tweet
Social space is not a thing among other things, nor a product among other products: rather, it subsumes things produced and encompasses their interrelationships… – Henri Lefebvre
2016: Archive Project is an artistic investigation into the inner city Sydney suburb of Redfern – the title representing both the postcode for Redfern and the expected completion date of this ten year project. This archive does not intend to be an objective study of the suburb – but a subjective exploration of the changes taking place within the area through the lens of the artists' mutual interests in community and Post-situationist urban life. Each time the archive is exhibited it is re-invented but the emphasis on the local area of Redfern continues.
Redfern has an important place within the history of Sydney. It has traditionally been a poor area, home to migrant; Aboriginal; and low income communities. The opening of the Eveleigh Rail-yard bought many working class people into the area before it was closed down in the late 80s. Today over 40% of Redfern residents still live in public housing.
The Block forms the heart of Redfern and was one of the first urban areas bought back by the Aboriginal community for Aboriginal housing. It has existed as a quasi-autonomous Indigenous zone within the centre of Sydney and has been the focal point for important moments of anti-racist resistance such as the Redfern "riots" and the Aboriginal Tent Embassy.
With the rapid rate of real estate development throughout Sydney and the high costs of property, Redfern has become a prime target for "gentrification." Redfern is situated between Sydney central and the airport, and is part of the land known as the city-airport corridor – its proximity to the city and (so far) lack of intensive development making it a key site for real estate speculation. A special government agency has been created, the Redfern-Waterloo Authority (RWA), to force through the rapid pace of urban change, making Redfern the only suburb in Australia with a designated minister of parliament.
We have chosen nine physical sites for exploration in this archive – the same sites identified by the RWA for urban renewal. The Archive will not only document the physical changes in the suburb, however, but also the voices of the Redfern community who are affected by these changes.
What is an ideology without a space to which it refers, a space which it describes, whose vocabulary and kinks it makes use of, and whose code it embodies – Henri Lefebvre
The 2016: Archive Project has had two installments: an exhibition at Mori Gallery in February 2007 and an exhibition at Artspace in August 2007. In mid 2008 the Archive will participate in a month long residency organised by Performance Space but situated offsite in The Redfern Community Centre (RCC). The RCC is in the heart of the block and is a key organizing place for the local community. It provides after school care for local kids, computer access for the community, a meeting place and a cultural centre. The 2016: Archive Project has been given complete access to the RCC during this month to share this space with the community and develop a new installment of the archive.
The Archive seeks to not only chronicle the changes taking place within the urban environment of Redfern but also participate in moments of resistance to these changes. Both artists have been long term residents of Redfern and supporters of community campaigns against forced gentrification and urban "renewal".
Keg de Souza and Zanny Begg
To access the archives: http://www.2016archiveproject.com/ and http://www.theregoestheneighbourhood.org
We would like to acknowledge the traditional owners of this land, the Gadigal people.
Lily Shearer, interviewed The Block, November 25th 2006:Zanny: How long have you lived in Redfern?
I lived in Redfern from 1981 to 1984, and I now work here at the Performance Space. I like that I know lots of people here, that you can walk through the block and talk to people and there are Black fellas from all over Australia – its like an extended family. I have my great niece here with me today and she is playing in the park and now she has wandered across the road and I don't have to worry because she is talking to an uncle and aunty. I couldn't do that is I was in the city, it would be too dangerous.
After the disbandment of the missions and reserves a lot of people were coming to Sydney for work, it was after the depression too, and everyone seemed to congregate here in the block. They were squatting in the old houses, it's a meeting place, a gathering ground.
Zanny: What will be the impact of the changes proposed by the government?
The changes that they want to bring in… they may as well round us back up and put us on the missions, if its going to go ahead like that. They may as well relocate people again, 'cause that is what is happening, people are being relocated to other areas, like when they relocated people to Mount Druitt where I have been working for the last 15 years, they relocated everyone here straight to Bidwell in Mount Druitt. There are 11 suburbs that constitute Mount Druitt and Bidwell has to be the worst and lots of Aboriginal and Islander peoples end up there. It fragments the community, you break down family relationships, some have been on a hard journey to find their families and then they break apart again. And that's grief, and we are already born with 218 years of inherited grief, and they are just adding to it. This will affect not just Aboriginal people on the block, but Aboriginal Australia. This place is the Black heart of Australia.
Zanny: How would you like to see the community change?
…I like the Pemmuway project, I think you have to tap into tourism, it's a gold mine for our community. I know my kids are talented, I know they have all these deadly skills and they understand politics from a really young age and I just want to support them and give them a voice. Our kids were not raised with the racism that we were raised with, they are on the ball and able to act. I think we have some deadly leaders coming through. We need a tourist centre here, some shops, artworks, it could resource the community.
Ray Jackson, interviewed Redfern Department f Housing, November 25th, 2006:
Zanny: How long have you lived in Redfern?
I have lived in Redfern for 15 years when I was first moved into this Department of Housing apartment in James Cook Building (of all places). When I first saw the name I thought, well I am going to change that, but I found out that all these building here are heritage and because they originally started out with the navy they all have naval names of some sort.
… I don't mix much, I just tend to be here working or I am out of the place, but its reasonably quiet, the sirens go every now and then and we call that the Redfern lullaby… but it doesn't bother me, it's a neighbourhood that's vibrant, we have our crime but then so do other places, we have an over zealous police force but then so do other places, I love living here, thirteen flights up, I only wish I was higher…
The changes will destroy us, they are not only out to remove the black face out of Redfern/Waterloo they want to move the department of housing out too, they want to move the poor out, for such an area as this to be on such valuable land and its been subsidized so the poor can live here goes against any patterns of what the government understand's as the bottom-line. This place is valuable, very, very, valuable and they want to make money out of it. Their first push, of course, is to get the block, but that is going to be a fight and a half, and I don't they are going to win on that, I think it will be a compromise, but it will be loss for us nonetheless. The block remaining in Aboriginal hands is the only way we is the only way we will see it. What Mickie Mundine wants to do there with the housing company, personally I don't fully agree with, but its much preferable to what the government wants to do with it.
Now when it comes to removing the Department of Housing, which covers a huge area, again they are going to have a very large scale fight on their hands. One of the humorous stories, if there is humour in these situations, is that we have a large contingent of Russians here – what is termed the white Russians – and they have been here since the Department of Housing took the units over in the late 70s and they have told Frank Sartor and the respective ministers "you leave us alone, we must die here and then you can do what you want with the buildings". Now that is solidarity for you! They are all ancient mate, they are bloody ancient, and they are not going to last long. So we are here by the grace of their ghosts! But there is a grit and a determination – bugger it we will not be moved. We will stay here, they can blow the place up around us.
…I would like to put more resources into the neighborhood. They start good they put in a tennis court but when the nets start to rot that's it, they never maintain it. They say that the community should maintain it – but this is Department of Housing, its poor, the community can't maintain it. Welfare these days is really a welfare, welfare, its people with mental health issues, addictions, all that sort of stuff. There needs to be a lot more done. I would also like to change how cliquey this place can be – these days there is more emphasis on privacy than community. We had one person in the unit opposite there who was dead for five weeks and nobody found him! Later when people were talking about they said they hadn't seen him for a while…
Zanny: Keg and I are making this archive over ten years, how do you see this suburb in ten years time?
I like to think we will still be here in ten years, better managed and better self managed. I certainly hope that we have a better class of copper, 'cause the police are brutal here.

Gallup: Obama's approval rating lowest yet, Congress' declines
President Barack Obama's job approval is the worst of his presidency to date, with 46% of Americans approving and 48% disapproving of the job he is doing as president in the latest Gallup Daily three-day average.
Investors Business Daily: Buying votes with water
The water spigots are back on, at least temporarily, in California's Central Valley. Turned off to protect a tiny fish, they happen to be in the districts of two congressmen "undecided" on health care reform.
Fox News: Obama to Dems: Our fates are tied to health bill
Obama is telling nervous Democratic lawmakers that their political fates are linked to the health care bill's passage, discouraging the notion that they can save themselves by opposing it, House members say.

The title is a bit of a mouthful but it's a very specific task that I've come across when making apps for iOS using AdobeAir. Often you want to tap in to some of the niceties of the operating system and one of those cases is the contextual keyboard – the specialised keyboards that appear when you're entering in an email or a phone number for instance. There are 6 of these specified in the SoftKeyboardType class: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/text/SoftKeyboardType.html.
So the one thing to know when trying to use these keyboards on iOS is that you need to be using StageText – the standard TextField class will not be able to tap in to these as of yet because it's really accessing an operating system level function that Adobe Air has not made available to the humble TextField. In that light, this quick tutorial explains how to go about using StageText to ultimately give you the option to use these different keyboard types. I've also included instructions on how to use customs fonts for this process too, just to complete the general use case requirements you may have.
Firstly copy the fonts into your assets folder. By this I don't necessarily mean the "Assets" folder (I have a feeling that this folder sits within a parent folder which is really what I'm talking about). Having said that, you might be able to place them there anyway and just make sure you include a relative path to them.
You'll probably have lots of other things inside your infoAdditions section as well. This is where I am wondering about if you need to have a relative path to your assets folder or not, so it might need to be entered as: Assets/BurbankSmall-Bold.otf but not sure. Will have to be some trial and error.
The fontName argument is important. You can actually make this anything you like for the sake of AS3 however when using StageText it seems to be working on an operating system level and the random name you give it for AS3 won't mean anything, so it's safest to use the fonts actual family name. This is really hard to find some times. It took a bit of trial and error and searching the internet to find that the family name for this file was "Burbank Small". It looks like you specifically want to use the "Postscript Name" if you're ever looking for the right one.
Just a note – you might find that it works on the desktop and not on the device, this is usually because there's something wrong with stage 2 – either it's not been added to the infoAdditions properly, or the relative path you think should work, isn't.


Today Dylan Mark Slater, 26, was jailed for eight years and three months after admitting to the manslaughter of 29-year-old Tarro "Taz" Grogan.
And Mr Grogan's father, Lloyd, has spoken out to highlight the dangers carrying a knife poses, to both ruin lives and end them.
Mr Grogan, 51, who lives in Little Harwood, where Taz was brought up, said: "You don't think you are going to use a knife when you take it out with you. I don't think everyone does anyway. But it only takes a second to use one and ruin so many lives.
A talented sportsman, 29-year-old Taz was a former British light heavyweight mixed martial arts champion. The former Witton Park High School, Blackburn, pupil was studying sports coaching at Blackburn University Centre before his untimely death.
Describing his son as a devoted father-of-two Mr Grogan said: "I would like to point out that Taz was not just a cage fighter. He did have an artistic side to him. He was a talented artist. There's a portrait of his younger brother, Freddie, which he drew hanging on my wall. It's really good. If any of his friend's dads died he would do a portrait of them. I go round to friends' houses and they are still hanging on the wall.
"Taz was the life and soul of any party. He was a bubbly person. He was the class clown of the family. He loved making people laugh. You couldn't take him out without him taking some girl's coat, putting it on and doing a silly dance. It was cringeworthy at times. You would think 'what is he going to do now?' He had a big love of animals. He used to be forever rescuing and looking after dogs.
"His kids were his true love. It was unconditional. He didn't get enough time with them. He had unwavering loyalty to his family and friends. If someone was in trouble he would run to help them. He wouldn't stand by if somebody was being bullied. He was actually the smallest kid in his class. That is why he didn't like bullies. If someone needed money he would give it to them. He would do anything for you, but the washing up!
He continued: "Taz has been portrayed as the big macho lad but he had the kindest heart. He doted on all the kids in the family.
younger ones in the family.
Following Taz's death thousands of pounds was raised to put in a fund to give to young his daughter's, Brooke and Aroura, when they turn 18. Mr Lloyd thanked all those who contributed to that and those who attended his son's funeral at Blackburn Cathedral, which was standing room only.

NEC first started as one classroom located on Howe Street in downtown Vancouver, BC. Ray Collins, the founder of NEC, realized it was difficult for Indigenous people to find a job when they first moved to the city from their small rural First Nation community. He identified the main reasons were due to a lack of training or essential skills.
Since the humble beginnings, NEC Alumni reflect on why they chose NEC as their first choice to pursue their studies. Time and time again, comments like "it felt like home away from home" or "I felt like I belonged", which created a connection to the community and a sense of belonging for Indigenous people who relocated to Vancouver, BC.
Every year, NEC Alumni are recognized for making a difference in the lives of Indigenous people at the Annual Honouring Feast. These award recipients are highly innovative, dedicated, and professional when it involves their career, volunteer, or advocacy work in the community.
Five awards will be given out to community leaders and professionals from across the province at this year's ceremony, which is taking place on May 31, 2019.
Community Service – This award is named after Wanda Bolton, a former NEC Program Coordinator and passionate advocate, as well as a teacher whom continuously demonstrated excellence in community service. This award recognizes NEC graduates who share their unique and important contributions in the community.
Education Excellence – This award is named after George Manuel, the influential Grand Chief that made a significant difference in how Indigenous people are considered at the National and International level. This award recognizes NEC graduates who have continued to pursue higher post-secondary education.
2017 Academic Achievement – This award recognizes the accomplishments achieved by an NEC Alumni member who has demonstrated outstanding academic performance from the most recent year of the program.
Call for Alumni nominations closes on April 12, 2019, you can submit your nominations using our Online Form.

Former-VP Joe Biden's Sexual Assault PSA & Its Inescapable Reality: Sexual Assault Awareness Month 0 713
Alexandria Piette April 3, 2017 5:14 pm April 3, 2017
As of April 1st, 2001, the United States government acknowledges the concurrent thirty days envisaged to "bring May flowers," as Sexual Assault Awareness Month, ensuing approximately three decades of transcontinental demonstrating and petitioning for political recognition. The National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC) recounts the stouthearted and audacious efforts of women's rallies, inclusive of the Take Back the Night marches, which originated within the United Kingdom amongst the 1970s. Throughout the movement's evolution, perspectives regarding domestic violence and sexual abuse were reforming, and snowballing questions were rendering against societal normalcies. Additionally, organizations and foundations akin to the National Coalition Against Sexual Assault (NCASA) and their fortitude throughout Congressional affairs are highlighted, like the initial nationwide institution of SAAM, as well as the advancement of a variation of thematic campaigns and slogans. To illustrate, in 2007, the, "—theme was 'Prevent Sexual Violence… in our communities. This broad focus told communities across the country that everyone can prevent sexual violence, and we all need to work together in creative ways. The NSVRC chose a film screening of NO! The Rape Documentary by Aishah Shahidah Simmons as the featured event."
The following year, "In 2008, we worked to 'Prevent Sexual Violence… in our workplaces.' It helped employers to see workplace culture's role in preventing sexual violence and recognize the prevalence of sexual violence that occurs in the workplace. The NSVRC also focused on the impact a healthy work environments can have on prevention of sexual violence. To encourage outreach to local businesses for SAAM, the featured event was Shop to End Sexual Violence, where businesses provide information about sexual violence during April and donate some portion of their profits to the cause."
Presently, however, 2017 is centralizing upon "Engaging New Voices," which will incorporate communities—"coaches, faith leaders, parents, Greek Life, and bystanders"—into sexual assault education and prevention.
In rejoinder to the predominant encouragement of participation and assessment this SAAM of survivors' circadian confrontation with their agonizing and life-altering experiences, and the tactics citizenries can implement to contend this epidemic, former Vice President Joe Biden broadcasted a public service announcement designated "Autocorrect."
In essence, the fleeting, yet integral and irrefutable video depicts an iMessage exchange between a duo aimlessly quipping about their predatory behaviors. However, the motif of the dialogue is exhibited within the autocorrect of buzzwords/phrases, including "encourage" to "force", "she wanted you" to "she wanted you to stop," and "a good time" to "rape." The conclusion is acquainted with a voiceover emphasizing the fatherland of the campaign—It's On Us.
The association launched within September 19th, 2014, per former-President Barack Obama, the White House Council on Women and Girls, and is fundamentally fostered by Biden himself.
With reference to Wikipedia, the goals of this organization are:
To RECOGNIZE that non-consensual sex is sexual assault.
To IDENTIFY situations in which sexual assault may occur.
To INTERVENE in situations where consent has not or cannot be given.
To CREATE an environment in which sexual assault is unacceptable and survivors are supported.
The organization is geared towards creating a social movement by asking people to take a PLEDGE against sexual assault."
A diversity of cultural role models have "taken the pledge" via their promotional recordings and respective activism and advocacy, encompassing individuals like Friday Night Lights' and Nashville's Connie Britton, Scandal's esteemed Kerry Washington, The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev, Orange is the New Black's and How to Get Away with Murder's Matt McGorry, Josh Hutcherson, who is accredited to an expansive medley of films and televisions series, and Zoe Saldana, whom is noteworthy for her personages throughout Avatar and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Altogether, the multifarious spokespeople edify their demographic with poignant statistics, and the reminder that sexual assault and rape culture are social quandaries that we collaboratively contribute to. For example, in accordance with the NSVRC, one in five women and one in sixteen men are sexually violated whilst attending a university. In spite of the brutality's regularity, surpassing ninety percent of university sexual assault survivors do not file police reports against their perpetrators. 63.3% of males at an investigated secondary education imparted their acts qualifying as rape or attempted rape, and disclosed their criminality of serial sexual assaults.
Moreover, the Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network (RAINN) documented that, "[Twenty-one percent] of TGQN (transgender, genderqueer, nonconforming) college students have been sexually assaulted, compared to [eighteen percent] of non-TGQN females, and [four percent] of non-TGQN males."
Comprehensively, sexual assault survivors are singularly susceptible to the development of mental health predicaments and substance abuse.
Dean G. Kilpatrick, Ph.D., of the National Violence Against Women Prevention Research Center and the Medical University of South Carolina scrutinized a social evaluation denominated the "National Women's Study". Distinguished statistical analysis of the research is composed of:
"Almost one-third (thirty-one percent) of all rape victims developed PTSD sometime during their lifetime; and more than one in ten rape victims (eleven percent) still has PTSD today."
"Rape victims were three times more likely than non-victims of crime to have ever had a major depressive episode (thirty percent versus ten percent). Also, they were 3.5 times more likely to be currently experiencing a major depressive episode (twenty-one percent versus six percent)."
"Rape victims were [thirteen] times more likely than non-crime victims to have attempted suicide (thirteen percent versus one percent)."
"13.4 times more likely to have two or more major alcohol problems (20.1% versus 1.5%)."
"[Twenty-six] times more likely to have two or more major serious drug abuse problems (7.8% versus 0.3%)."
Furthermore, survivors will foreseeably be apprehensive of or experience STD/STI contraction, unwanted pregnancy, and social persecution, not to mention the arduous legal processes should they elect that option.

One that attains the highest level of prophecy gains a perfectly clear grasp of the prophetic message. That is, being that their prophetic experience binds them to Elokim (G-d), and it was Elokim Himself Who was revealed to themself and acted upon it, they realize that the images that they perceived were visions of prophecy, resulting from Divine Influence. Knowledge of the subject matter (contained in the revelation) is permanently fixed in their mind through this Influence (and it remains with them without any doubt). The prophet then feels no uncertainty about their being as a prophet, about any aspect of their prophecy, or about its origin and results.

Kim Kardashian Lends Support to Melissa King After Porn Scandal
Melissa King says she's a Ravens fan. Kim Kardashian inset.
Kim Kardashian has expressed her support for Melissa King,, who lost her 2013 Miss Delaware Teen USA crown in a sex scandal. Hailey Lawler, the 17-year-old First Runner Up officially replaced King on Wednesday and is already busy with pageant duties.
King has yet to give an interview to explain what happened, but has posted on her Twitter page. She thanked supporters, of which she has many, and wrote: "God wouldn't give you something that you couldn't handle."
Kardashian's tweet popped a day ago: "Everyone wants happiness No one wants pain But you can't have the rainbow Without a little rain," she wrote.
Kim should know. Her own substantial career as a reality star began after she became embroiled in a sex tape scandal in 2007. She eventually sold the rights to her tape for $5 million and a cut of the profits. Her reality show, "Keeping up With the Kardashians," soon followed.
Everyone wants happinessNo one wants painBut you can't have the rainbow Without a little rain
— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) February 28, 2013
"God wouldn't give you something that you couldn't handle..."
— Melissa King (@Melissa_M_King) February 27, 2013
King's Twitter followers have swelled from about 800 to nearly 6,000 today (Mar. 1). She's not only attractive, but has the kind of charisma that caught the pageant judge's eyes. And it wasn't her first pageant win.
At the time, she was also the reigning Miss Teen Delaware International 2012. In her official bio, she said she had earned a scholarship in high school for "outstanding achievement in athletics, community services, and academics." She reportedly attends the College of Philadelphia.
The 18-year-old won the Teen USA crown only four months after she allegedly starred in a sex tape that was featured on an amateur porn site. The tape surfaced last Monday after the porn site figured out her connection to the pageant. It trumpeted her role as Miss Delaware Teen on its site.
In an interview with the porn site that's part of the tape, she revealed that she was involved in beauty pageants but did not identify the state.
Hailey Lawler (right) poses with Melissa King after she was crowned Miss Delaware Teen USA last November.
A sympathetic Washington Post blogger wrote that "I've seen enough of 'Girls' to understand that uninhibited sexual experimentation is not so uncommon in schoolgirls today, and tolerating humiliation is a healthy sign of an independent spirit."
She called the scandal a "character-building challenge."
Lawler seems to have one thing her disgraced predecessor lacked, a squeaky clean background. So far, nothing remotely scandalous has emerged about her, and she even still lives at home.
Lawler is a senior at Delaware's Padua Academy, captain of the school's soccer team and works part-time at a local pizza joint. That likely doesn't leave any time to cut a sex tape on the side.
"I was in complete shock and just didn't know what to say because ... I wasn't expecting it really at all," Lawler told the local News Journal newspaper. "I'm just excited and looking forward to representing Delaware."
Whether Kim will help King get a leg up in the reality television business remains to be seen. But she reportedly already has a $250,000 offer on the table to help promote another porn site.
Lawler, meanwhile, plans to attend Philadelphia's St. Joseph's University this fall to pursue a career in elementary education. Can't get any sweeter than that.
Check out her interview below, and check out King's screen shots from her sex tape here. Warning graphic nsfw. And be sure to follow TheImproper on Twitter for all the latest celebrity news.

NYC FC will play its next three seasons in Yankee stadium, but when it comes to venues, MLS teams have proved smaller is better.
In terms of drawing fans, the San Jose Earthquakes have been one of the more successful franchises in Major League Soccer. Their current venue for home games, Buck Shaw Stadium, is shared with Santa Clara University and holds a capacity of 10,000 fans.
Buck Shaw is consistently filled to the brim with passionate soccer fans, and last season was at 124 percent capacity, meaning the Quakes were cramming in an extra 2,500 fans because there was such a demand. To date it seems like the Earthquakes executive staff has understood soccer's place in America; it doesn't draw football-sized crowds and it won't any time soon.
Which makes it all the more surprising that the Earthquakes are electing to play in a football venue. San Jose is following the San Francisco 49ers, and making a move next season to Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, which will has a capacity of 68,500. Incidentally they are not the only team playing out of their league attendance-wise.
Just Monday it was announced that the Major League Soccer's 20th team, New York City FC, will play its next three seasons in Yankee Stadium, which holds over 50,000 fans.
MLS's newest club is funded jointly by Manchester City FC and the New York Yankees, and will have the promotional dollars to spend to draw fans to games, but the MLS blueprint has shown that large venues are not a successful approach.
The Earthquakes played a game in 2011 in Stanford Stadium, where the Stanford Cardinal football team plays, and, even in setting an attendance record, was still more than 10,000 fans short of filling the stadium to capacity.
Forbes recently released a list of the most successful American soccer franchises, and only eight of the 19 teams at the time (New York City FC is an expansion franchise), were even making a profit. Seven of the eight profitable teams play in stadiums that hold less than 25,000 fans, with the one exception being the Seattle Sounders who have a fan base recently named "America's Best Fans," and, subsequently, can not realistically be emulated.


In 2009, as part of our survey on maternal health in Bauchi and Cross River states in Nigeria, CIET collected information on antenatal care coverage.
Among Bauchi women who had a pregnancy during the three years prior to our survey, 65% reported having at least one antenatal care (ANC) visit at a government health facility. Some 40% reported having at least four such visits. In Cross River, things were not much different — 72% reported having at least one antenatal care (ANC) visit at a government health facility while some 45% reported to have at least four such visits.
Across both the states, a woman was more likely to have at least 4 ANC visits during her last pregnancy if she lived in an urban community, considered it worthwhile to have ANC or if she was educated.
In Bauchi, other significant factors included if the woman lived in a community with a government facility providing ANC, she was from a household with an educated head, she had some formal education or had more than three pregnancies.
In Cross River, other significant factors included if the woman was married or cohabiting, came from a household with enough food during the week prior to our survey, considered a government health facility as the nearest to provide maternal care or she did not have a violent argument with her partner during the one-year period prior to the survey.
The quality of government ANC was not encouraging. The study found that among Bauchi women who went for ANC at a government health facility, 35% had their blood pressure checked while 8% had their urine tested at every ANC visit. In Cross River women had to face similar challenges. Among those who went for ANC at a government health facility, 35% had their blood pressure checked while 22% had their urine tested at every ANC visit.
Study results showed that half of the women visiting a government health facility in Bauchi had to pay for their ANC visits. In Cross River, three out of every four women paid for these visits.
Focus group discussions with men and women in the sample communities highlighted the need for public awareness especially among men on the importance of antenatal check-ups. They complained of health workers' bad attitudes and suggested they should be polite with the users. They recommended that government ANC services should be free with improved access to the health facilities providing antenatal care.


Some people take their golf extraordinarily seriously. One such group of die-hards were the proprietors of the Richmond Golf Club in Surrey, England, who drafted an interim set of rules explaining what players must do should Nazi aircraft bomb the greens mid-game.
1.) Players are asked to collect Bomb and Shrapnel splinters to save these causing damage to the mowing machines.
2.) In competitions, during gunfire, or while bombs are falling, players may take cover without penalty for ceasing play.
3.) The positions of known delayed-action bombs are marked by red flags placed at reasonably, but not guaranteed safe distance therefrom.
4.)Shrapnel/and/or bomb splinters on the Fairways, or in Bunkers within a club's length of a ball may be moved without penalty, and no penalty shall be incurred if a ball is thereby caused to move accidentally.
5.) A ball moved by enemy action may be replaced, or if lost or destroyed, a ball may be dropped not nearer the hole without penalty.
6.) A ball lying in a crater may be lifted and dropped not nearer the hole, preserving the line to the hole without penalty.
7.) A player whose stroke is affected by the simultaneous explosion of a bomb may play another ball from the same place. Penalty, one stroke.

The annual production is calculated every week, and the best and worst annual figures were both achieved in 2012, thanks to the conjunction of our horribly rainy summer, and the previously sunny 2011.
The worst annual figure was 3,033 kWh on 15 July 2012.
The best annual figure was 3,449 kWh on 11 March 2012.
As 2012 was very rainy, I take the first two years as the general yardstick to work to for calculating 'Net Zero'.
These first two years were in in the range of 3,329-3,345.... giving me a rather resonant number of 3,333 to use as a guide. If the heat pump annual consumption rises above this, even for a week or two, I shall be very downhearted. But lets hope that the weather improves in 2013!

World's 'doomsday' clock will stay at three minutes to midnight
By Loren Grush and Colin Lecher
Source Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists

In its symbolic look at the likelihood of armageddon, members of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced today that they are keeping the world's so-called Doomsday Clock at three minutes to "midnight" — a metaphor for the end of the world as we know it. The clock has been set at 11:57PM since January 2015, when it was moved down from five minutes to destruction. It's the closest the clock has been to midnight since the Cold War in the 1980s.
The Bulletin scientists cited a number of reasons why the clock is staying right where it is. Notably, tensions between the United States and Russia are fairly high, reminiscent of their Cold War-era levels; the Bulletin is concerned that the two nations are unlikely to discuss any future arms control measures. And while President Obama signed a major, if controversial, deal to prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon, North Korea tested a nuclear weapon of its own earlier this month. Many other countries are also increasing their nuclear weapons arsenal.
The decision is "not good news."
The decision also took into consideration the current state of global warming. NASA announced recently that 2015 was considered the warmest year in recorded history. The world may have brokered a historic global warning pact in Paris last year, but the Bulletin claims the effort is only a tentative success. Ultimately the Bulletin's message is that the country has made significant strides in many areas, but there is still quite a lot of work to be done. "The decision not to move the minute hand of the Doomsday Clock is not good news," said Lawrence Krauss, chair of the Bulletin's Board of Sponsors.
All is not totally lost, though. The Bulletin says the best way to move the clock back is to dramatically reduce spending on nuclear weapons programs. Countries must also work toward nuclear weapon disarmament, while the United States should open better dialogues with countries like Russia, China, and North Korea. And to truly mitigate the dangers of climate change, the countries that are part of the global warming pact must follow through on their promises.
The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is a journal that was created in 1945, after the bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The Doomsday Clock, the journal's most famous contribution, was started two years later as a way to inform the public about the dangers and likelihood of nuclear war. Its scope has expanded since then, encompassing other factors that could pose threats to our global security. The clock has been updated just 22 times in its 70-year history. The decision to move the clock's minute hand is made by the Bulletin's Science and Security Board and Board of Directors — a group that currently includes 16 Nobel Laureates.
As terrifying as the clock's current position may seem, the time isn't supposed to be a prediction tool for the future. Instead, the Bulletin scientists say the number is reflective of existing statistics and trends related to nuclear technologies, climate change, biotechnologies, and cybersecurity.

Earlier this month, fitness equipment review site FitRated released the findings of an investigation it had done into the cleanliness of gyms. There we were, dreading our evening gym session anyway, when suddenly we had yet another reason to want to sack it off.
The stat that has done the rounds the fastest since the article was published is that gym free weights house 362 times the amount of bacteria found on a toilet seat. The average exercise bike, for those who use them, house 39 times the bacteria found on a reusable canteen tray (like the ones you used at school – it does make you wonder who thinks up these comparisons).
Though the figures were alarming, they were really only confirmation of what we've always suspected. (That the gym is bad for you and we should stay home eating dough. Just kidding. Well.) One does always leave the gym feeling rather more grubby than a coating of one's own sweat has any right to cause. After all, it's not only gym equipment teeming with bacteria – circuits classes incorporating inchworm moves, burpees and press-ups require getting up close and personal with the filthy floor on a regular basis.
The fact is, the place we go to get fitter and healthier is also a place beloved by microbes. "In theory it is possible to catch an infection in the gym, for example from bacteria such as staphylococcus aureus (staph.) lurking on gym equipment or yoga mats," says dermatologist Dr. Stefanie Williams. "Fortunately, the risk of acquiring such an infection is low."
In order to help put our minds further at ease, we spoke to a few health experts and asked for their top tips on how to stay clean and healthy in the gym.
Not the paranoid CSI kind, but the weightlifting gym kind. "I recommend disinfecting the handles of machines or equipment used," says Dr Maryam Zamani of Cadogan Clinic. "It's difficult to do with weights and for that reason I recommend wearing work out gloves that are washed after every session."
This is a good idea anyway, as perfectly cleansed and moisturised skin gets nothing from then being smothered in filthy hands, but Dr Zamani says this is especially important in the gym: "Do not touch your face while working out, take a clean towel to use if your gym does not provide and wash your hands immediately afterwards!" she says. If you're not showering at the gym, be sure to use a face or body wipe to tide you over until you can get to one.
"If you suffer with recurrent boils, it is worth re-thinking your gym routine," says Dr Williams. "That includes making sure you shower immediately after exercising, washing all your gym clothes after each use (bacteria thrive in warm, moist environments), and wiping any gym equipment as well as the inside of your gym bag with anti-bacterial wipes."
Nutritional therapist Angelique Panagos says not to worry too much about the potential health hazards in the gym. "A healthy body is used to warding off such germs," says Panagos. "However, there's no harm in giving your system some support. Alongside practicing good gym hygiene you can eat to support your immunity. Plan your meals around antioxidants A, C and E, including sweet potatoes, butternut squash, leafy greens and/or oily fish with some spinach, mango, apple or avocado, and a sprinkle of sunflower seeds or almonds.

New Homes in Shropshire
Situated in the West Midlands on the Welsh border, the county of Shropshire has lovely countryside, medieval towns and beautiful villages.
Buying a new home in Shropshire will also give you access to great transport links to the surrounding West Midlands and beyond.
The region's countryside will give you plenty of opportunity for exploring. The Shropshire Way, a series of walks compiled by local ramblers, is a good way to see the Shropshire Hills Area of Outstanding Beauty. Made up of 27 routes, the walks can be linked together to form longer routes.
Home to the iron bridge, the town in Shropshire of the same name is fascinating to visit. Birthplace of the industrial revolution and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the world's first iron bridge was constructed here over the River Severn in 1779. After that, items made in ironbridge were shipped all over the world.
Shropshire's county town of Shrewsbury is full of facilities and attractions with an ancient history dating back to 901. With 660 listed buildings, highlights include Shrewsbury Abbey and Shrewsbury Castle. The Shrewsbury Museum and Art Gallery is set within a 16thcentury building, and houses several fascinating artefacts and information on local history. Look out for the town's 'shuts and passages', which date back to medieval times, and are a collection of narrow passageways throughout the town.
If you fancy a little time out, Attingham Park is the place to have it. Set just outside Shrewsbury, the National Trust site is home to an 18th century mansion, parkland, a lovely walled garden and deer park.
There are several schools in the area, offering families plenty of choice. For those hoping to go on to further education, choices include the University of Birmingham, University of Wolverhampton and Staffordshire University.
On the Welsh border and surrounded by Herefordshire, Cheshire, Worcestershire and Staffordshire, Shropshire has great transport links.
Motorists can get to the county by taking the A49, A5, A53 or A548. Shropshire connects to the M6 via the M54. London can be reached in three hours and Birmingham in 40 minutes.
Those travelling by train are also well served, with links to a number of main lines. There is a direct service between Shropshire and London (two hours and 29 minutes), Manchester can be reached in one hour and 59 minutes and Wolverhampton in just 22 minutes.
For those travelling from further afield, Birmingham International (54 minutes), Liverpool John Lennon (one hour and 28 minutes) and Manchester Airport (one hour and 23 minutes) bare all choices. From here you can get a number of domestic and international flights.
