Redhill ASEAN Youth Survey 2021: Malaysian Youths Hope For A Better Post-Pandemic Future
Image via The Star
Based on the ASEAN Youth Survey 2021 by Redhill, Malaysian youths remain largely optimistic about the future despite the challenges faced during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic in the country. Many of them appreciate the basic state provisions such as healthcare and education. This is because their future life plans remain undeterred.
Redhill's ASEAN Youth Survey 2021
The third Redhill's ASEAN Youth Survey analyses the roles of Southeast Asia's youths as key drivers of economic, cultural, and socio-political change. The study attempts to have an overview of youths' aspirations and concerns on:
Nearly 3,000 people aged 18-35 across seven ASEAN nations including Malaysia were involved in the survey.
Governance & Economy
Malaysian youth sentiment towards the government's management of the COVID-19 pandemic has been largely ambivalent, with over 40% preferring to stay neutral on their thoughts. However, there is still some optimism, as there were over a third who thought more positively of the government's efforts, compared to just over 20% who were more dissatisfied.
Neutral Positive Dissatisfied
Government COVID-19 management >40% >30% >20%
On both the sentiments of Malaysian youths on opportunities for public engagement and gender inclusion, as well as their ability to engage publicly on race and minority issues, the largest groups are those who remained neutral according to the Redhill survey.
Opportunities for public engagement and gender inclusion 42% 30% 28%
Ability to engage publicly on race and minority issues 39% 27% 34%
However, there is a greater variance between respondents at either extreme – those who thought Malaysia did well on public engagement and gender inclusion opportunities (30%) outweighed those who thought the opposite (28%).
In contrast, more Malaysian youths thought the government was not doing well enough on public engagement on race and minority issues (34%), as compared to the 27% with more positive remarks.
Job securities
The Redhill survey also found that most respondents (87%) across all the Southeast Asian countries are worried about job security. 70% of the group noted that they have enough funds to spend on essentials now, however, they are concerned about providing for the future.
Up to 77% of the respondents even believed that they would need to take on another job to meet their financial aspirations.
These sentiments were also reflected in Malaysia, with such concerns tied to local macroeconomic factors. This includes the Malaysian youths' perceptions on whether their country has implemented adequate policies for post-pandemic recovery and growth. In Malaysia, most respondents (42%) were on the fence about the matter, but there were those more upbeat about the situation (36%) compared to those with a gloomier outlook (22%).
On healthcare matters, most Malaysian youths believe basic healthcare provision in the country is good (54%). The adequacy of Malaysian healthcare's affordability and access is also perceived positively. As there is basic healthcare security in the country, most local respondents also had positive remarks on the COVID-19 vaccine's rollout, with over 70% thinking it as being adequate.
However, when it comes to speaking about more culturally sensitive matters such as sexual health (even with more trusted networks), youths can still be seen as hesitant, with most respondents at 36% staying neutral (although followed by the 34% who were more positive on the matter).
On contrary, most Malaysian youths (45%) are willing to discuss the matter with their trusted networks.
Education & Life Choices
Across the region including Malaysia, most of the respondents of the Redhill survey believe that obtaining both basic and tertiary education is easy. In terms of whether Malaysia's education system is highly competitive, most at 42% are neutral on the matter as compared to the 40% in agreement and the 18% that disagreed. Regardless, nearly half of the respondents believe that they are still able to handle education-related stress.
Neutral Agree Disagree
Obtaining basic and tertiary education 42% 40% 18%
When queried about their life choices, the respondents were given a list of life pursuits to rate the degree of importance they attribute to them.
The top-ranked pursuits in Malaysia are:
Education (82%)
Healthcare and personal development (81%)
Career (78%)
Family (78%)
Meanwhile. 46% of the respondents were willing to travel internationally with lockdowns easing recently. Nearly 60% also think that owning their own home is financially realistic.
However, 57% believe that it would be financially challenging to build their own families.
Digital reliance
The survey also found that Malaysians are digitally connected. Most respondents primarily source their news from social media (81%), and most at just under 50% spend between 5 and 10 hours a day on such platforms.
With this digital reliance, most Malaysian youths (72%) believe that there should be better education done to help people determine news accuracy. This is especially as most at 44% are not certain on whether national regulations are effective in curbing fake news and that, for most (46%) even their real-life political opinions have been affected by online political discourse.
Optimistic despite challenges
Youths in Malaysia have been going through some of the most turbulent and uncertain periods of their lives. While 2020 was a watershed year for them, this year is when many have been adapting to the new normal – being highly aware of the challenges they face but working around them to carve a better, more certain future for themselves.

Grabbed this shot of Gary Ferravanti Sr. (driver) and Nick Cone (passenger) flying through the brush of Texana Ranch. Gary and Nick finished 9th at last weekend's PSC Brawl in Blackwell, suffering tire & link failures along the way. With the damage they went through, finishing in the top 10 was incredibly impressive, and a testament to both driver and team.
Gary's in the process of building a new IFS Ultra4 machine, complete with Spider 9 IFS parts, with the plan to debut next year. We'll be watching for that one.


When I tell people that I'm a massage therapist, once in a while someone has a strong reaction. They tell me, whether verbally or through their reaction and body language, that massage is not for them. Their body image is such an issue that they don't think anybody else can accept them.
The paradox here is that massage can really help with body image issues. In massage school we were all nervous about taking off our clothes and letting somebody else touch us. It didn't take long for us to discover that bodies are just bodies, and we became much more comfortable with our own. We also experienced how good receiving a massage made us feel. Something unexpected happened – when our bodies felt better, we felt better about our bodies!
Is your body image holding you back? There are 3 options to consider. Let's look at the risk versus reward for them.
2. You get a massage, but the massage therapist makes note of how you look (as if it matters).
If this has happened to you, I'm sorry. You got a lame massage therapist. That's a bummer, and they missed the training in how to be a professional, compassionate, caring therapist. If this happened to you, you took a risk and reaped little reward.
3. You get a massage. A great massage. And the therapist does nothing to make you feel uncomfortable about your body. In fact, you feel pretty good about your body after the massage!
In this option, your risk is low. I'm not judging you or your body. I just want to help you feel better. Your reward is high. Your body will feel better from the massage and you can start feeling better about it.
I have no idea how your body got to be in the condition that it's in. You may be dealing with something that you can't control, such as a medical condition, injury or accident. You may be in a lot of pain or are limited in what you can do physically. You may not have had time to shave your legs. All of this is welcome, with understanding and compassion.
I've worked on hundreds – maybe thousands – of people. Each body is fascinating and unique and I've yet to come across one that I could not help.
If you have been avoiding massage because you feel uncomfortable about your body, let's find an option that works for you. You don't even have to explain anything to me. Leave your clothes on if that's more comfortable. Stay sitting up or face down or lying on your side or however you want. It's up to you.
Freedom of movement is the goal that got me started in the massage profession. I later realized all the other reasons. Sometimes artists don't know what they're painting until it's finished. Likewise, my reasons for diving in to the healing field continue to reveal themselves.
So about freedom of movement – I am a dancer. I've always wanted a wider range of expression in my movement. It's a delightful creative outlet that helps me feel awake and fluid. At the time I started considering massage as a career, I was swing, blues and salsa dancing at least four times a week. I felt so alive! I wanted to help others feel comfortable in their bodies, and to find creative, joyful movement in their everyday lives. Let's be clear, though – I don't want to push an agenda for dancing. Many activities are hindered when you're injured – hiking, baseball, disc golf, running with the dog, playing with the kids, acting, cycling, sleeping… My healing goal to increase freedom of movement comes from a desire for everyone to live a more joyful life. Having the freedom to move how you want to move plays a significant role in that.
So how do you want to move?
What would your life be like with greater range of motion, more stability, flexibility and strength?
All of this is reversible – just depends how much time and effort you're willing to spend on changing it. Some things can be healed in one session – adhesions can be broken up (they're basically "knots" that can be relieved with myofascial release or other massage) and trauma patterns may be resolved through two-chair coaching – but a lot of things, like caved-in shoulders for example, were built up over time. They will take time to change. Additionally, the shoulders can hold that posture for multiple reasons – working at a computer every day with sub-par ergonomics, emotional guarding around the heart, excess weight lifting in the pecs, compromised posture elsewhere in the body that also affects the shoulders (because everything in the body is connected). Massage and craniosacral therapy are excellent on their own for achieving greater range of motion. However, to have a bigger impact that lasts longer, I like to approach healing from multiple angles – mental, emotional AND physical. I'm seeing more and more people these days who recognize that their physical pain manifested from more than just physical issues. If you only want to work with the physical aspects, that's totally welcome. And if you'd like to explore the broader picture, what might that look like?
First, we want to build a ground of support, trust and resource. A resource is whatever feels good to you. Perhaps a relaxing massage is what's needed to help regulate your nervous system. It may be helpful to bring to mind a supportive person and notice the somatic (physical) sensations you feel when that support is present. The body naturally responds to an imaginary vision, and the somatic response can help you settle and feel nourished. From this resourced place, perhaps you can dip a toe, or even jump right in to the pool of challenges. Are you challenged a rocky relationship or stressful job that feels like a literal weight on your shoulders? This may contribute to a collapsed posture. Or maybe it's simply depression, which could be caused by a number of factors. We can observe the emotional and mental components of your life that are creating physical limitations, and if this even starts to feel overwhelming or too uncomfortable for you, we can always go back to that resource to strengthen the nervous system. We can always drop the threads to pick up another time when you're feeling ready.
How does this sound to you? What are you willing to explore to unlock the greatest freedom of movement you desire?
Call me at (720)432-3032 for a free 15-minute consultation, or go ahead a schedule a 90-minute session if you're ready to dive in.
I occasionally hear the question, "Do you like what you do?" This is an important question for a healing practitioner. If I didn't like what I was doing, you would feel it. If I'm tense in my body, that can translate through – some part of you, whether it's obvious or not, can feel that tension. So my healing work is transforming as I remember what brings me joy - dancing, connecting authentically with others, seeing beauty everywhere and creating a more beautiful world. Weaving these in to my therapeutic work will translate into greater healing potential for both of us.
I'll be going more in depth about each of these in future blogs, including what can be done to achieve these goals, starting with Freedom of Movement.
Call me at (720)432-3032 for a free phone consultation to discuss how to achieve your goals.
Do you walk barefoot in the grass?
Do you enjoy the coolness and soft or prickly texture, or the sound of it brushing your feet?
My friend Katherine always feels more calm when she walks barefoot on the earth. It's naturally grounding to connect your skin to the skin of the earth. If nothing else, it's a contrast to having your feet enveloped in socks and shoes all day, sitting inside or walking around the concrete jungle.
Experiencing a contrast or polarity will help change your state of being. So if you're feeling lethargic and you haven't experienced the texture of the earth lately, trit it for a least a couple minutes, just as an experiement. If you don't notice a shift in your mood or energy, at least it was only a couple minutes.
In a multi-tasking world, can you focus on one single thing at time, being fully absorbed in it? What are the benefits of this?
When I exercise, can I focus on running without distracting myself with entertaining media, thinking about what I'm going to do later, or rehashing a conversation I had in the past? Running is a physical activity, so I want to focus on my physical experience. As I drop into the body, I can notice what feels good, what feels off, what needs to change. When I'm tuned in this way, it's more obvious to me when I need to take a pause, to slow down, and to stretch, therefore reducing the chance that I'll overdo it and injure myself.
What about being fully absorbed in healing work?
If you have the intention of being fully present during a massage, you'll release tension with more ease, gain better self-awareness, and open the channels to health more quickly.
How can I be more present, you ask?
Focus on body sensations - your breath (the pace, the sound, the feeling of it flowing in and out), the contact of your body on the table (or feet on the floor, seat on the chair - simply your body's contact with a surface), the contact of the massage therapists hands, the specific details of sensation - warm/cool, tingly, numb, tight, open, hard/soft, color, emotion, depth in the body, etc.
If your mind continues to pull you away from your body, it may help to process those thoughts. Some believe it's most relaxing to be silent throughout a massage, but sometimes the path to deep relaxation and greater healing requires vocalizing.
In a session with me, you're welcome to talk about what's up for you. If it's a long verbal process that leads you to few quiet minutes of embodied, relaxed presence, it's more productive than being silent through a massage while your mind is spinning in circles. While the mind is spinning, the nervous system is likely dysregulated along with it. Though your muscles may loosen up with some massage, the effects will last so much longer if your mind and nervous system are on board for a full mind-body-spirit integration.
What's your experience of multi- vs. single-tasking? What activities hold your full attention with ease, and what has you distracted or want to multi-task?
The season is changing, spring cleaning is upon us, new life is budding from the earth, and I'm learning how to create more joy and beauty in my life as the world changes around me. What this means for Equilibrium: updates to the office decor, making it more beautiful and inviting; and updates to my website, informing you of the new coaching and energy healing modalities I've been learning and incorporating into my practice. Adding coaching and energy work to massage sessions brings a whole different experience, greater healing potential and more fun and creativity to the work.
The website is still a work-in-progress - Follow me on Facebook to hear when the new site is fully updated ("Following" more than just "Liking" will actually give you notice when news comes up).
Does anyone else take a deep breath of relief after reading that? How sweet it is to be accepted as you are. I find life to be more delightful and interesting when I approach it with a curiosity and intention of discovery than when I hold preconceptions, which often leads to disappointment or confusion when those expectations aren't met.
This has been a theme in my life lately - choice A or B? Neither are a bad choice. There is no single "right" answer. I was dining with a friend at the Kitchen when he realized with excitement that Two Spoons was next door. "We can get gelato for dessert! But then again, maybe I should stick to my diet." I figured either choice would be a good one.
What's the purpose of life, anyway? The story I believe is that we're here simply for the fulfillment of conciousness - to experience life as fully as we choose in these amazing human bodies. With that, there isn't a "right" choice - there's just a whole smorgasbord of experiences. So what is my One Thing - my primary focus in life - and which paths will lead me to that larger goal? Likely there are several paths. I feel relaxed, able to go with the flow knowing that there is more than one "right" path.
For a bit of silly entertainment as I was growing up, my dad would occasionally prank-call random people and simply say "Bee yourself!," in the voice of Robin Williams in Aladdin. I'm still learning to be myself, and discovering different aspects that I hadn't recognized before. Thank you to everyone who has encouraged, supported, and taught me how to uncover my truth! One of my goals of working in the healing profession is to help you feel free to be who you want to be, to free restrictions that may be hiding your greatest potential.
What do you want to become? Can you give yourself permission to discover yourself and others, with curiosity, compassion and patience?

Associate Professor of Law at George Washington University School of Law in Washington, D.C.
We live in an era of massive inequality in America, one that many call our second Gilded Age. This inequality manifests itself in all facets of our public life, including in our political system. One feature of this political inequality that has not received sufficient attention, though, is geographical. We need to start a conversation about political inequalities between places. Simply put, places with more wealthy people can use their wealth to distort elections in places with fewer very wealthy people.
In a federal system--a system that prioritizes letting people govern their own communities--it should concern us whenever bigger money from other places distorts elections in places with smaller money. It should concern us even more when that bigger money brings in a national politics that has grown increasingly unhealthy, and distorts the traditions of a place where politics has been working just fine. A great example of all of this comes from the Republican primary this past Tuesday in the 21st congressional district.
Before we zoom in to see what happened in the North Country, let's first zoom out to see the larger, national problem of geographic political inequality. We live in a country with substantial and growing differences in wealth across locations. In locations with many "creative class" workers--those using their higher levels of education to pursue employment related to higher levels of human capital--there is economic growth. In locations with energy resources, there has also been economic growth. In most parts of the country, though, economic growth has been slow, or economic contraction has emerged.
The result is a staggering economic geography. In New York City, there are approximately 370,000 millionaires (using net assets as the measure of wealth). In the entire state of Mississippi, there is approximately one-twelfth the number of millionaires as in New York City. In less than four square miles of New York City there are more millionaires than in the nearly 49,000 square miles of Mississippi.
This world of geographic economic inequality facilitates political inequality across places. The very wealthy dominate political contributions. Indeed, campaign contributions are ten times more concentrated than income. The top .01 percent of the income distribution controls 5 percent of total income and provides 40 to 50 percent of the total dollar amount of our campaign contributions. The very wealthy do not just contribute more, but also often contribute to elections in places far from their residence.
Putting all of these trends together, it means that a few wealthy donors in one place can distort an election in another place--a place without their own wealthy donors to match. Rather than focusing on the issues that matter locally, big money from elsewhere focuses voters on other issues. Rather than focusing on candidates with local appeal, big money focuses voters on new candidates more tied to big money than to local places. Once in office, the candidate elected by big money from elsewhere might have to answer to that big money and not to local constituents. Added together, this can ruin vibrant and distinct local political traditions in favor of the political preferences of wealthy donors from elsewhere.
To be sure, this geographical distraction does not always occur. In places with numerous millionaires or places of broader national interest, the influence of one millionaire can be utilized to counterbalance the influence of a different millionaire. If you are running for office in New York City, the Republican candidate might call on the Koch Brothers, and the Democratic candidate might call on George Soros. You have your billionaire, and I have mine.
In many elections, the stakes are so high that even places with fewer wealthy donors attract a diverse range of wealthy donors from elsewhere. Consider, for instance, the Republican Senate primary in Mississippi this past Tuesday between Thad Cochran and Chris McDaniel. Because it was for a Senate seat as opposed to a House of Representatives seat, because of interest generated by the Tea Party, and because there are no other major races this time of year, the race attracted a lot of attention. If a wealthy donor gave a lot of money to Cochran, McDaniel could find his own wealthy donor. Interest was high and so money was more available.
These are exceptions worth noting, but exceptions nonetheless. Most of the time in most of the places when big money comes from elsewhere, though, it is not like the Mississippi Senate race. The big money from wealthy donors elsewhere is in favor of one candidate and one candidate only, and distorts what happens in that local place with fewer or no big money donors to match the big money from elsewhere.
As a recent and notable example of this, consider the Republican primary this past Tuesday in the North Country in New York. The 21st congressional district is one of the more physically stunning districts in the country (I was raised in Plattsburgh, a city in the Northeast of the District). It is spread out over 16,000 miles of beautiful nature, making it one of the largest and least dense districts east of the Mississippi. The number of millionaires in the North Country is more like Mississippi than like New York City.
This congressional district is the rare remaining swing district. The district narrowly went for President Barack Obama in 2008 and 2012. At the same time, a Republican had represented parts of the district in the House of Representatives for 164 consecutive years, until Democrat Bill Owens won the seat in a special election in 2009.
This past Tuesday, voters in the North Country selected their Republican nominee to compete for the seat of Owens, who is retiring. Matthew Doheny, the 2010 and 2012 Republican nominee who lost to Owens, ran against Elise Stefanik, a top national conservative political operative.
For the first time in the North Country, wealthy donors from outside gave major contributions to an election there. Stefanik was supported by over $800,000 from American Crossroads, an organization facilitated by Karl Rove and supported by billionaires with no ties to the North Country like Paul Singer. This was the only House primary election American Crossroads participated in this election cycle. Combined with hundreds of thousands of dollars from the Koch Brothers and other, similar organizations, the money from wealthy donors outside the North Country supporting Stefanik totaled about $1.2 million. The connections these donors facilitated helped Stefanik raise another $660,000.
In a place like the North Country, that is an enormous sum of money. Approximately forty dollars was spent by outside organizations for each of the less than 27,000 Republican primary voters. Doheny, because of his Wall Street ties and prior runs for Congress, raised $600,000, a significant amount for a party primary in the North Country--and it one-third of the amount spent by or for Stefanik.
If it was a different place and a different election, these dollar amounts might be chump change. In a Senate race like the Cochran-McDaniel primary on Tuesday, other donors paying attention could match the amount that Rove, Singer and the Koch brothers contributed. In the North Country, this is not as possible.
As a result, as Roll Call reported, these wealthy donors from elsewhere "upend[ed] the race." Stefanik was a strong candidate, with a record as one of the leading young conservative staffers in Washington. Despite what Doheny claimed, she might have won anyway, and the money from places with more millionaires maybe only increased the margin to a comfortable 20 points or so.
But there are plenty of reasons to think that wealthy donors from elsewhere distorted the race. For one thing, there is no way to know if this big money from elsewhere changed the election outcome. One thing that big money can do is to increase a candidate's name recognition. Stefanik had very low name recognition, and had never before lived full-time in the current district. In a party primary that did not receive much national attention, turnout was bound to be an issue, and big money can increase turnout. Turnout was twice in this Republican primary what it was two years ago.
More significantly, the big money from wealthy outside donors distorted the focus of the campaign from important local issues to negative attacks related to national issues. The North Country faces major challenges. Fort Drum, a military installation in Watertown in the district, is the largest employer in the district--and faces cuts that could shrink its civilian and troop numbers in half. Because of the size of the district and its rural nature, there are issues related to access to health care and technology. With big national money coming in--and not enough local money there to fight it--the primary became more about ObamaCare and a Republican majority in Congress than about Fort Drum.
The evidence of the influence of wealthy donors might not be apparent until after an election. After an election, when there is less voter attention, wealthy outside donors can change what issues their candidate prioritizes. When major donors like Singer and the Koch brothers indicate their support for federal budget cuts, will Stefanik still be able to resist them and their money in the name of locally important Fort Drum? When Paul Ryan introduces a budget reflecting these cuts to Fort Drum, will Stefanik continue to be able to resist her mentor and patron's budget? One Tea Party politician praised Stefanik for being a "true conservative." What will Stefanik do when being a "true conservative" to those in national politics means cutting government support for agriculture, a crucial industry in the North Country? These are issues of particular importance since Stefanik has been hailed as a future statewide or even national political figure. Ensuring that Singer or the Koch brothers still approve Stefanik is doing will be crucial for any of her future statewide or national efforts.
Wealthy donors from elsewhere distorting an election should be a concern anywhere because of our tradition of self-government. But it should be even more of a concern when that money distorts the politics of places with an honorable political tradition. The North Country is such a place, and the events of Tuesday therefore threaten to disrupt the local political good for the nonlocal political bad.
It used to be that swing congressional districts featured elected officials who voted according to principle instead of party. Now, swing districts feature politicians appealing to the case of their party. In the increasingly rare political tradition of the North Country, though, politicians have still been principled, saying things that their party might not support. The voters rally behind this, voting for politicians from both parties, and voting for them even when--or perhaps especially when--these politicians defy their own party.
For instance, a Republican state legislator from this district, Janet Duprey, voted against gay marriage in the New York State Legislature the first time it came to the floor. She changed her vote the second time, at the same time the national Republican Party was leading the effort against gay marriage in Congress and in the Supreme Court. She was re-elected by the voters of the North Country by over 35 percentage points.
Owens, the retiring member of Congress, votes with Republicans as often as all but a few of the 199 Democrats in the House of Representatives. In response, he was re-elected twice to a seat that had been in Republican hands for a very long time. Even Aaron Woolf, the Democratic nominee to replace Owens, disagrees with Democratic Party leadership nationally by strongly supporting Second Amendment rights.
After Tuesday's primary election, the question is whether this honorable political tradition of the North Country will gradually merge into the unhealthy political tradition we see in the rest of the country. Will candidates trying to lure the Koch brothers to give big amounts to the North Country pay more attention to the Koch brothers than to the voters of places like Glens Falls or Ogdensburg? If politicians do follow the wishes of wealthy donors elsewhere, can these wealthy donors spend enough money in later elections to distract the voters of the district from their loyalty to wealthy donors elsewhere?
We live in a big country. In that big country, there are still a few, special places that have resisted unfortunate national trends. One problem with the growing political inequality in our country is that these last few, special places could be overrun by the bank accounts of billionaires elsewhere. It is time to talk about these places, and what is happening to them, before the United States of America becomes the One Place of America.

New Rolling Stones movie planned about hedonistic 'Exile On Main Street' album
John Earls Jun 14, 2016 8:14 am BST
Downton Abbey director is casting for actors to play Jagger and Richards
A film about the famously debauched making of The Rolling Stones' double album 'Exile On Main Street' is in the works.
The making of the classic 1972 double album was known to be chaotic, as the band's drug-taking became more intense while they were living as tax exiles in the south of France.
The new film is based on former Rolling Stone journalist Robert Greenfield's 2006 book Exile On Main Street: A Season In Hell With The Rolling Stones. Greenfield interviewed Keith Richards at his villa in France during the recording of the album, which forms the substance of his book.
Virgin owner Richard Branson bought the film rights to Greenfield's book in 2012, and it's believed he is overseeing the new movie of the same name as the book.
The film will be directed by Andy Goodard, who has directed several episodes of Downton Abbey and Doctor Who as well as 2014 film Set Fire To The Stars about a poet trying to meet his hero, Dylan Thomas.
It's reported by Deadline Hollywood that Goddard is casting for actors to play Richards and Mick Jagger. According to bassist Bill Wyman's autobiography Stone Alone, during the making of the album, the Stones became divided between those who took drugs during its recording – Richards, guitarist Mick Taylor – and those who mainly abstained – Jagger, Wyman and drummer Charlie Watts.
The 18-song 'Exile On Main Street' is often regarded as The Rolling Stones' best work and features live favourite 'Tumbling Dice'.

The 7MSN Ranch: Here's your sign?
Hang on, Smooch, I'm busy here.
I turned to the east and saw more white dirt, this time against azure blue skies.
Smooch, stop pulling, dang it! I'm trying to take pictures here.
I caught my balance as Smooch tried to drag me down the road. And then I saw him.
Don't be scaring him, Smooch.
We hadn't seen our buddy the turtle in forever, though we'd certainly been thinking about him.
Where had he been for the last 12 months? And why had he shown up today?
Maybe Saturday's gully washer had flooded his home. Or maybe he just felt like going out for dinner.
As Smooch and I stood there contemplating the implications of the turtle's appearance, he walked off.
And a few minutes later, he was still walking off.
I didn't have to increase the camera's shutter speed to capture the action.
I'll never know why the turtle picked this day to come out and visit us, but I was delighted to see him again.
I think he needs a name. I shall call him Steve... Turtle Steve.
I like Steve!! Pictures are awesome!
What a great day around the 7MSN. Kudos to Smooch for being so observant while you're eyes were towards the skies.
I love that cute picture of you with the 'Ooooh" on your face. Fun!
I liked the first shot you took of him curled up in his little turtle (or is it big) shell!
Turtle Steve is surely good luck. Didn't we learn that before, about a month or two ago? He is probably a desert tortoise, as I'm sure you know, that gets active in the rainy season so they can graze. He certainly is a beauty.
We have a saying over here, that if you see a turtle heading up a hill it means a flood is coming. I guess that means if he's heading down then it's over?
Steve is so darned cute. Did that take you all morning to photograph. I mean he looks like he is moving but at the pace of a turtle you never know.


Enabling smart in-video search with your voice assistant.
Imagine asking your TV, tablet or smartphone that question. Instead of a few websites and videos, it returns a series of broadcast-quality video clips in response. You are using your TV operator's environment like a search-engine to find your favourite celebrity or politician, catch-phrase or pop culture topic deep inside millions of hours of video. Rich, high-quality content is easy to access and find; it's relevant and customized to your taste. You rely on it all the time. Could this be a not-too-distant future? At the moment, TV operators invest a lot of resources in providing valuable content to consumers. However, with consumption of linear content in decline, winning eyeballs isn't just about having all that content in one place. It's also about making it accessible and personalized to meet consumer demands. Fortunately, tools are emerging to help TV operators in that area – new tech that they can leverage to capture and keep viewer attention.
The quality of broadcast content is so high, so varied, and the experience so immersive, that a TV environment should be the "place to be" for content. That's not just true for big network flagship shows, but also for local content, like news or native-language detective series and soaps. But although TV content is evolving from live broadcast to OTT delivery and can be consumed on demand, content via the EPG is presented much like it was in the days of linear. That no longer makes sense to today's video consumer.
Consumers want convenience and this also holds true for TV content. They want to watch content when it suits them, find relevant content easily, and are quickly loyal to personalized playlists or "discover" lists, which they know from other apps, like Spotify and Netflix. Although some content is still likely to be viewed live, for the majority of programming, viewer tastes have changed. According to research performed by Ericsson, approximately 70% of viewers prefer on-demand and catch-up services over linear TV content¹.
Meanwhile, in many TV environments, consumers are turning away because they can't find what they're looking for or access it in a way they want. Especially in a set-top box environment, search is clunky because of the remote control; interfaces are frustrating; and results are irrelevant because the engine doesn't look inside the videos themselves. These tools rely on human input – incomplete synopses that necessarily can't foresee all sub-topics in the video. In search engine terminology: they aren't provided with the right meta-data.
To add to this, TV operators offer a lot of content – hundreds of TV channels, VOD assets and thousands of hours of replay TV – which turns into content overload. People default to just viewing the top TV channels, or worse, turn to competing platforms that offer a better experience.
On the other hand, they might also be in a hurry or interested in a specific topic. That means hitting the off button on long-form programs because they want a short and 'to the point' content "snack". In that case, they turn to video websites like YouTube. To address this, some video services offer clips by manually "cutting" linear content into VOD assets. However, this is an expensive and slow solution that doesn't scale well.
Without providing consumers with better ways of searching, finding and accessing content, TV operators end up losing viewer attention and traffic.
Fortunately, recent technological developments can support operators in creating the kinds of experiences that will satisfy consumers with a smooth, friendly and personalized experience. What's more, these tools can go beyond meeting consumer tastes and helping TV operators maintain numbers of subscribers. They can create new innovative products to compete against other platforms and generate new sources of revenue for operators.
A voice assistant is the first part of the puzzle to solve the problem of the clunky interface and bad user experience. However, this will come across as "gimmicky" if not backed up by a truly advanced search engine for video.
To return relevant and personalized results, that kind of search engine will need to understand what a video is about. An advanced video search engine can extract meta-data using an AI that "reads" faces, speech, objects, logos and in-video text like visible words and subtitles. Based on this it recognizes topics and learns which is relevant to a user. That kind of relevant, meta-data enriched video search can take a voice assistant capability and turn it into a natural and intuitive way to find the content you are looking for.
Next, because this type of AI search reads and understands video, it can find, cut and present the content found as a series of short clips. Consumers today don't follow TV channels or even programs anymore. They want to follow their favourite person or topic of interest. When short clips are available for them to browse, that pulls them into further topics or longer content.
Finally, AI-powered tech is discovering new ways of serving up recommendations, like Spotify's 'Daily Mix' for video. With data at last year's CES showing that 70% of viewing time on YouTube is spent on viewing recommendations², the commercial potential of creating a "sticky" broadcast environment for consumers is enormous.
With smart AI-search and recommendation tools backing a voice interface, TV operators can finally provide the immersive, personalized experience consumers have been waiting for. Beyond that, these tools can create new product offerings that will keep consumers in service providers' TV environments.
Just a decade ago, cable television was the king of media, and was the central focus of attention in so many living rooms. Today, despite the high investment in quality content by TV providers, attention is being caught by other platforms meaning other subscriber and advertising channels.
As we move towards the sci-fi home of the future where talking appliances are the norm, it'll be interesting to see how consumers respond to, for instance, a new breed of TV. One thing is certain though – the tastes we've developed online will need to be catered to everywhere. That's where voice plus a killer search feature can return the TV environment to its spot as the first-choice "place to be" that viewers and advertisers just can't help tuning into.
Big data and machine learning expert. Mountain climber.
TV Operators Need to Start Acting like Software Companies. Today.

It's easy to get confused when deciding whether it's time to buy a new home and exactly how much you can afford to spend on that home. It starts with determining how much you may need to save for your down payment. It only gets more confusing when you try to guess how much you might pay each month for your mortgage if you buy a home at different price points. Rather than trying to work through the confusion alone, put our mortgage calculator to good use.
Accurately estimate your monthly payments, depending on your interest rate, down payment, mortgage type and other factors. It even adjusts for the cost of homeowner's insurance, so you can see how much home you can comfortably buy.
Our calculators can also help you determine how much money you may need to save for a down payment and what you can expect to pay for homes at various price points. Now is the time to educate yourself so that you're ready when the time to buy comes around.

Cleveland Car Dealership Working Toward a More Sustainable Future (Text Version)
This is a text version of the video segment Cleveland Car Dealership Working Toward a More Sustainable Future, which aired on Sept. 3, 2016.
JOHN DAVIS: Our success story this week pays a visit to Cleveland, Ohio, where a local car dealership is striving for a more sustainable future. From new LED lighting, to reclaiming water at their car wash, to adding two electric vehicle charging stations, Motorcars Honda is going the extra mile to conserve energy and natural resources. Their new solar lot canopy, with 1,240 solar panels, uses beams made from recycled cars. The panels will generate 60%-70% of the dealership's peak electricity needs.
ANDREW CHIARELLI: Car dealerships have a lot of space. And to cover their cars and keep their inventory safe and produce energy, it's a win/win situation.
JOHN DAVIS: They hope to add a solar canopy at their Toyota franchise too, where 50% of the loaner fleet are hybrids. Working with the Northeast Ohio Clean Cities Coalition, this forward-thinking dealer group is making a responsible mark in northeast Ohio.

Despite the fact that the Cougars got a missed free throw and the last offensive possession of the game, No. 20 USC (8-0, 1-0) left Pullman, Wash. with a 63-61 victory over the Washington State men's basketball team (7-2, 1-1) on Saturday afternoon. The Cougars fed their star the ball as time expired but his three pointer just missed and it sent the Trojans home the victors.
Noah Williams had his shot blocked with 6.2 left and then the Cougars were forced to foul. Morgan missed the free throw which lead to WSU quickly moving the ball down court; they got it to Williams and his three at the buzzer hit the front of the rim to hand Southern California the win.
Out of the under four media timeout both sides had empty possessions, and Tyerll Roberts cold shooting continued as he was now 0-7 on the afternoon. The Trojans finally got on the board with Morgan bucket. Williams quickly responded to tie it up; but Morgan took over the game at this point as he scored his second bucket.
Williams would not be stopped as he got a bucket to tie it with about 1:17 left in regulation. Enfield took a timeout at 1:13 with the score tied at 58.
A flop by Williams went uncalled as Drew Peterson hit a midrange jumper. TJ Bamba drained a three to give WSU the lead back with 31.4 left on the clock; the Trojans took their final timeout. Dishon Jackson fouled Chevez Goodwin as he made a dunk, the free throw was hit to make USC up 63-61 with 16 seconds left.
At the star of the second half, the Trojans quickly tied it up. That was followed up by a missed three point attempt by Williams; on Southern California's next response was a hit layup and one to give the Trojans a three point lead at 35-32. Another turnover for Washington State was negated by a USC turnover. Robert missed a jumper which led to a relatively easy USC bucket and a timeout for Kyle Smith with his squad down by five.
Roberts missed a jumper as he was 0-4 throughout the game at that point. USC's run was extended to 9-0 with an Anderson jump shot from near the stripe. Ellis' third foul put the Trojan in foul trouble early on. The D2 transfers in Roberts had a three rim out; but Jackson corralled the rebound and made the second chance layup while he also drew a foul; he hit the free throw.
It didn't take long for Southern California to tie it up as a drive down the lane led to an easy layup. The Cougs followed that up with yet another empty possession to open up the half. Mobley hit a jumper for USC; which was then followed up by a Michael Flowers three to cut the Trojans lead to three.
After a defensive stop for WSU, the Cougars were called for a foul on an offensive board. Southern California turned that turnover into a bucket to make it 43-38, Trojans.
Shots continued to not fall for WSU as they rimmed an uncontested three and then they forced a turnover on defense. Rodman tipped in a second chance after Bamba's shot runner out. Peterson hit the second of two free throws for USC as its lead stood at four with 13 minutes left.
Flowers followed that free throw up with a long three attempt and then Mobley was just short on his. That sequence was followed up by a turnover by Rodman then a charge call against USC as both defenses reasserted themselves.
An uncontested three by Flowers cut Southern California's lead to one. Both teams swapped buckets after that three to keep the lead at one. Peterson's third foul came on a charge right before the under 12 media timeout.
Roberts cold shooting continued out of the timeout as he was 0-6 at this point. Fortunately for the Cougs, the Trojans missed two shots and they corralled the defensive rebound. Jakimovski drove the lane to get the Cougars back in the lead at 47-46. A pair of WSU fouls gave it five for the half; the Trojans weren't able to score.
Bamba was called for a travel, which was WSU's 11th turnover. Goodwin was called for a travel after Bamba clogged his lane which was the Trojans 10th turnover of the game. Both sides struggled to find holes in the others defense.
The Cougars pushed their lead back to four with a Bamba three to get their run out to 7-0 and bring Beasley back to life. A foul was called on Bamba, but Smith wanted a travel, and Southern California got a chance to run a play. That was followed up by a horrific foul call when Bamba swatted the ball out of the Trojans for his third and to get USC into the bonus.
Peterson hit the first of two free throws, and the scramble on the floor for the board as the Cougars called a timeout. Washington State got the ball and it led to back-to-back missed three point attempts. Fortunately the defense forced a poor shot that was easily recovered by WSU.
Goodwin was called for his fourth personal foul with 7:07 left to send Williams to the line. He hit both of them to get Washington State's lead back up to five at 52-47. Peterson hit a fall back jumper with little time left on the shot clock to get his scoring into double figures
Jakimovski has the ball tipped away from as he tried to drive the lane. A missed three was the Trojans response which was then followed by a inbound save by Flowers. On the offensive side of the court, Rodman's three hit the front rim. But Southern California had its own empty possession. Those empty possessions continued as both teams pressed to generate scoring and no one was really letting their teammates get set.
Williams drove the lane to get an easy layup and give his team a three point lead. That was quickly erased by Mobley's first three of the game. An emphatic block by Morgan led to a Peterson turnover for USC.
At the second half's under four media timeout, the score was tied at 54 with neither team able to separate.
The first bucket of the game came when Efe Abogidi hit a easy layup, but USC quickly tied it. Flowers hit a three to push that lead out to three and it stayed at three after he hit a jumper in response to a Trojan bucket. A missed three led to a contested three and a late whistle on Peterson.
Mouhamed Gueye scored his first bucket and all of the sudden WSU was on a 9-4 to open up the first three minutes of the game — this included all four of its first shots going in.
Peterson hit a two point jumper to cut the lead to three. And WSU missed its first two shots on the possession before Williams got the lead back up for five. It didn't last long as Peterson drove down the lane to cut the Washington State lead to three at the under 18 media timeout.
Out of the timeout, the Cougars bricked their first shot and USC quickly turned it into a bucket in the paint. Another brick, this time by Roberts, gave the Trojans the ball back until they turned it over. A missed elbow on USC, and a whiffed rebound by the Cougs led to a Trojan missed bucket and WSU defensive rebound.
Roberts, unfortunately, turned over the Cougars next possession for their second turnover of the first half. A pair of ticky tacky fouls on Jackson and Williams (in order) gave Washington State four fouls in the half with 13:30 left in the half.
The Trojans turned it over and Jackson drew a foul as he went for the shot — USC's fourth. Unfortunately, the sophomore only hit his first shot from the charity stripe. And Ellis was able to tie it up at 12 to cap an 8-3 run for the Trojans.
Washington State got the lead back thanks to a Jackson jumper. Williams attempted to drive on the Cougars next possession but the ball was cleanly swatted away as he went up for a shot and USC turned that turnover into a made jumper to tie the game at 14 right before the under 12.
Morgan gave Southern California its first lead at 16-14. Jackson's attempt at a layup hit the rim, Rodman corralled the loose ball and kicked it out to Koulibaly who hit the three ball to get WSU back in the lead. After a defensive stop, Rodman hit a layup then made the and one to make the Cougar run at 6-0 with a 20-16 lead. Peterson got called for a charge (his second) and the Cougars extended the run with a Bamba jumper after he corralled a loose ball to make it 23-16 with Washington State on a 9-0 run. USC took its first timeout .
The Trojans first possession of the timeout ended in a short shot; but so did WSU's. USC made its first shot in nearly four minutes to cut the lead down to four. But Abogidi drained a three in front of USC's bench to make the WSU seven as the game headed unto the under eight media timeout.
Out of the timeout the Trojans drained one of their two free throws to cut the WSU lead to six. The third tie up of the half ended with the possession arrow in USC's favor. It led to another empty possession for Southern California.
Gueye missed a long three as the scoring drought for both squads reached neared two minutes following another empty possession on both ends of the court. The drought ended when Goodwin hit a long jumper inside the arc to chip into that WSU lead.
Williams ended the drought when his first free throw rolled around the run before it fell in; he also hit the second to get the lead back up to six. A travel resulted in a USC turnover as Peterson came back in. Unfortunately that turnover resulted in a missed Gueye shot and turnover after a brilliant offensive rebound.
The Trojans and Cougars followed that up with empty possessions, this included the sixth turnover for WSU. A sequence of events that led to a loose ball recovered by USC, a missed shot and an aggressive defensive rebound ended with the possession arrow in favor of Washington State as we headed into the final media timeout of the first half.
A shot clock violation was the result of WSU's possession out of the timeout. Southern California hit the jumper over a pair of Cougar defenders to make it 28-24 WSU. Flowers took a foul on his three point attempt by Ellis — his second — Enfield was pissed by the call and wanted a flop. The South Alabama transfer drained two of the three shots from the charity stripe to make the Cougar lead six again.
A bucket from Southern California cut the lead to four and then another Cougar turnover led to Peterson draw a foul. He hit the first, but missed the second of his free throws to make it 30-27. But that didn't last long as a quick dunk for Gueye pushed the WSU lead back up to five.
At this point, the final 90 seconds was a track meet as Anderson drained a bucket for USC. The Cougars missed a shot on their final possessions and Southern California went for the last shot. Gueye was called for a foul with seven seconds left in the half, which stopped the clock and sent Mobley to the free throw line. Mobley hit the first of his shots, missed the second.
Flowers corralled the rebound and got the ball to Williams. Williams was unable to get the shot off before the buzzer and both teams went into the locker room with Washington State up 32-30 at the half.

When working on a project, you spend hours on end to write an extensive code. You think you have finalized your code and the project is ready for launch? You can finally take a breather while sitting back and relax because the labor work is finally done? I am here to tell you that you are absolutely WRONG.
There are still a million things to do. In web-development and its productivity, you need to look for its efficiency in each and every system. Quality is the first thing that you should continuously strive for improvement. Secondly, it doesn't have to be all shiny and glittery. Simplicity sometimes goes a long way for making a project amazing.
That's why considering the importance of QA on WordPress, we have created this article to elaborate the process.
The first and the most important step when doing QA for a WordPress project is 'Functional Testing'. A tester guarantees that all the functional requirement are satisfied according to a documented functional requirement or test cases.
These requirements are generally gathered at the start of the project when project requirements are being defined.
Usability testing is all about User-experience. This type of testing is very important for the success of a website.
A tester verifies that, is this site User-friendly? As there is a famous quote " the first impression is the last impression", therefore, it's very important that when a user interacts with the system it should be good enough without any User Interface issues.
Check for paragraphs, headings alignment (left, right, center), and font consistency (size, weight, family of font).
Compatibility testing is self-explanatory as per its name. It is a technique of testing in which tester identifies the efficiency of the application that how well it can perform when it runs on different operating systems like Microsoft Windows (i.e. Windows 10, Windows 8, Windows Vista), Apple's macOS , iOS, Chrome OS, Blackberry Tablet-OS, and on different browsers like Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari, Opera, Internet Explorer, Microsoft edge, and different mobile devices like iPhone, Android phones, Tablets & iPads.
There is a higher possibility to get bugs on Safari & Microsoft edge Web Browsers as compared to google chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
It goes under the non-functional testing, it's all about the clients' expectation.The client does not disclose it while providing the requirements. However, the developer should realize that it's a necessity for the client, but most of the time it is not the case. This is where the QA tester is responsible for checking the system regarding responsiveness and stability under the distinctive loads.
Testing of website performance with increasing load.
Testing of a site with load beyond its ability to handle.
Testing of the website with a sudden increase and decrease of the workload.
Scalability Testing can be defined as an application's ability to maintain constant user response times regardless of how many users are on the system simultaneously.
Testing website performance with a certain amount of data.
Security testing is used to determine that the system protects confidential data by maintaining its functionality. This testing performed to check if an application or system is vulnerable to any number of potential attacks.
Security testing has become a critical phase of Software Development life cycle. Tester has to find the security threats that can exist on the system.


My name is Alison Chang I was born and raised in Tainan, Taiwan, other than loving accessories & fashion I love binge watching Netflix series and eating hotpot. I am currently living in Savannah, Georgia and working on my Accessory Design MA program. As an Accessory Design grad student in the Savannah College Art and Design, I pursue my passion for creating art, and business. To me design and art are like first cousins, they are related but have their own systems. When designing accessories my main focus is detail oriented characteristics as well as experimentations with unique techniques and non traditional materials. On the other hand, my other passion is leaned more towards business of fashion, I enjoy organizing exhibitions, fashion shows and events from initial concept to the final execution. Creating an exhibition is similar to the production of a shoe, one has to think about multiple pieces and processes for the ultimate result to be successful. Not only do I love designing footwear and handbags, I also love to wear what I design.

Bringing Research to the Community to Reduce Cancer Disparities
July 26, 2019 /in Clinical Trial, Disparities
Bringing Research to the Community to Reduce Cancer Disparities was originally published by the National Cancer Institute.
Approximately 85% of cancer patients in the United States receive care in community settings, not at academic medical centers where most clinical trials take place. This is certainly true in South Carolina, where Hollings Cancer Center at the Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) serves as the state's only NCI-Designated Cancer Center.
More than 30% of the people in South Carolina are minorities, and more than 40% live in rural areas. These individuals can often face logistical and financial challenges when trying to access clinical trials. For example, for someone who lives several hours from MUSC, receiving care there would take an entire day. "A lost day's work equals a lost day's pay" for many people in South Carolina, said Chanita Hughes-Halbert, a nationally recognized leader in cancer disparities research and behavioral science at MUSC.
Being able to join research studies in a person's own community allows them to miss less time at work, stay close to family and friends, and reduces the burden of participation in research while increasing the quality of their care. To enhance patient access to clinical trials and facilitate the participation of community providers in cancer research, NCI launched the NCI Community Oncology Research Program (NCORP) in 2014. Forty-six community sites comprise NCORP, each of which partners with other cancer care providers in their region.
Twelve of the NCORP sites are minority/underserved community sites that have patient populations of at least 30% racial/ethnic minorities or rural residents. One of the minority/underserved sites is MUSC, which brought together community care organizations across the state as a result of its NCORP grant. Chanita leads the NCORP site along with public health researcher Marvella Ford, Ph.D., and hematologist/oncologist Carolyn Britten, M.D. The NCORP grant created a "team spirit" among the collaborating organizations and is facilitating interaction among researchers in different disciplines that traditionally are siloed, said Chanita.
Enhancing participation of patients in precision medicine trials is particularly important, Chanita said, because finding and subdividing patients into distinct groups based on the genomic characteristics of their tumors is "like looking for a needle in a haystack." She added, "A national effort is required to increase the pace of this research and for it to be successful."
As evidence of this, NCORP sites are playing a critical role in the NCI Molecular Analysis for Therapy Choice (NCI-MATCH) trial, in which patients are assigned to receive treatment based on the genetic changes in their tumors. The number of patients in the trial increased from 3,000 to 6,000, thanks to increased resources provided by NCI's regular appropriation.
The trial reached its goal of sequencing the tumors of 6,000 patients in June 2017, nearly 2 years sooner than expected due to wide-scale adoption of the trial throughout NCORP and NCI's National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). The unprecedented rate of patient enrollment was accomplished by more than 1,100 academic centers and community hospitals in all 50 states and Puerto Rico and is reaching traditionally underrepresented rural populations.
The MUSC NCORP grant is supporting enhanced access to clinical trials with a focus on minority and underserved communities with the goal of reducing cancer disparities. "Efforts to enroll more diverse patients helps ensure that we don't get to the end of trials and realize we won't be able to understand how treatments will work in different populations," concluded Chanita.

Gymnastics Abuse Scandal: Dr. Larry Nassar Pleads Guilty to Child Porn
Some of Dr. Larry Nassar's accusers are upset he won't be charged with abusing them.

The gymnastics doctor at the center of a sexual-abuse scandal that rocked the Olympic sport pleaded guilty on Tuesday to federal child pornography charges after striking a deal that some of his accusers denounced as "outrageous."
In the plea agreement, Larry Nassar agreed to a sentence of 22 to 27 years. Each of the three counts carry a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison, meaning the judge has the discretion to give him up 60 years when he's sentenced Nov. 27 in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

The agreement also means Larry Nassar, 54, will not face federal criminal charges for allegedly molesting two former gymnasts at out-of-state and overseas locations, although prosecutors said the deal "does not preclude" them from pursuing additional charges against the doctor for other individuals.
Attorney John Manly represents more 100 accusers, including members of the national and Olympic teams who were allegedly assaulted overseas. He said the feds should have brought abuse charges before accepting a plea from Nassar, who will be tried on state charges for alleged abuse that occurred in Michigan.
"My clients feel betrayed," Manly said.
Nassar, who had his practice at Michigan State University, was the team doctor for USA Gymnastics for two decades until he was fired in 2015 in response to what the organization called "athlete concerns."
Allegations of sexual abuse didn't become public until an investigation by the Indianapolis Star last summer that opened the floodgates to complaints that now number more than 100.
Federal agents then seized computer equipment from Nassar's home and office — including hard drives he threw in the trash — that yielded tens of thousands of images of child pornography.
Among the material was GoPro video that allegedly showed him fondling children in a pool, but under the agreement, he won't face abuse charges in connection with those youngsters.
Wearing orange jail clothing, he admitted downloading the pornography, possessing it and destroying evidence.
"I plead guilty as stated," he said.
USA Gymnastics Investigator: Number of Victims Is 'Far Higher' Than Reported
Outside court, his attorneys said he still denies molesting former patients and plans to battle the state charges at trial in Michigan.
But Manly that said doesn't help his clients who say Nassar preyed on them under the guise of medical treatments at international competitions.
"It's outrageous," he said.
Jeanette Antolin, who was on the national team from 1995 to 2000, said Nassar abused her in Canada, Switzerland and China.
"I sacrificed my childhood to compete for the United States throughout the world," she said in a statement.
"The doctor they assigned to treat me betrayed my trust. Now the Federal Government is giving him a free pass for his alleged assaults on me and many other child athletes. That's not justice."

La bataille d'Holkrans ou Holkrantz est une bataille livrée le  en Afrique du Sud, pendant la seconde guerre des Boers et au cours de laquelle une troupe zouloue des abaQulusi détruisit le campement d'un commando boer.

La bataille
Pour mettre fin aux raids opérés par les Boers sur leur bétail et leurs récoltes pour les punir de leur aide apportée aux Britanniques, le chef des abaQulusi, Sikhobobho rassemble un contingent et attaque le campement d'un commando boer au pied de la colline Holkrans. Les Zoulous attaquent de nuit et massacrent les Boers qui perdent 56 hommes sur 73, tandis que les Zoulous perdent eux 52 guerriers. Cette bataille fut la dernière victoire notoire des abaQulusi.

Mega Bloks Call of Duty Zombies Nuketown set review!
Timestamp 0:00 in this video sums up my strongest feelings about this set: "I can't believe I actually have this!" High-quality photos of a pre-production version were leaked out in 2014 with an expected release of 2015, but that seemed to be the end of it. Fast forward to 2016, and a few production sets went out to reviewers, suggesting that a release was actually going to occur, but that seemed to be the end of it, again!
Then, last week, I was browsing Amazon when the myth finally became reality for me, priced at $40 USD, shipped from Amazon warehouses with free shipping for Prime members. Now, some viewers are reporting seeing this on shelves at Ross. It's another case of a set that was produced in quantity, but never picked up by retailers as expected, then finally liquidated through clearance channels down the line.
Video: Mega Bloks Call of Duty Zombies Nuketown set review, finally!
