If you live in N.H., please email your state senator today and urge them to support HB 481.
For the first time in its history, the N.H. House of Representatives has advanced a cannabis legalization bill to the state Senate. HB 481 passed today in a 200-163 vote, after having received a favorable (14-6) recommendation last week from the Ways and Means Committee. The bill will soon be scheduled for a public hearing in the state Senate.
It is very important that New Hampshire's 24 state senators hear from their constituents in support of HB 481. Please email your senator today! At the same time, you can find out how your representatives voted and follow up by sending them a quick email.
Since Gov. Chris Sununu is expected to veto the bill if it reaches his desk, it may be necessary for legislators to override his veto in order for HB 481 to become law. Please follow up with your state representatives and urge your state senator to support HB 481 by sending them a quick email today.
You can read a summary of the bill, as amended by the House, here.

N.H.: House committee passes legalization bill, 14-6!
Mar 28, 2019 Kate Zawidzki
HB 481, legalization, New Hampshire, New Hampshire House Ways and Means Committee, NH, Tax and Regulate, vote
If you live in New Hampshire, check to see how your representatives voted in the first House vote and follow up with them today!
Yesterday, the New Hampshire Ways and Means Committee voted 14-6 to pass HB 481, the bill that would legalize, regulate, and tax cannabis for adults' use. This committee has rejected legalization bills in previous years, so it's particularly noteworthy that it has now been convinced to support of ending prohibition. Next week, the bill will be voted on again by the full House before it proceeds to the Senate.
Please take a few moments to find out how your state representative(s) voted and send them a message to follow up. It's very important that we thank representatives who voted in favor, and for those who did not, this is a critical opportunity to ask them why they voted no.
Before voting to approve the bill, the committee passed an amendment that changes the tax rates and revenue allocations. The tax rate being proposed is 5 percent at the cultivation level and 9 percent at the retail level. You can read an updated summary of the bill here, and you can read NHPR's coverage of the story here.
After you email a follow-up message to your state legislators, please share this message with your family and friends!

Islam and Slavery
First of all, having sexual relations with female slaves was, in some eras, the practice of prophets and companions. That practice was necessitated for some specific reasons and the ruling cannot be of a general application.
Furthermore, it should be noted that when Islam was reveled to Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), slavery was a worldwide common social phenomenon; it was much older than Islam. Slavery was deeply rooted in every society to the extent that it was impossible to imagine a civilized society without slaves.
In spite of this social fact, Islam was the first religion to recognize slavery as a social illness that needed to be addressed. Since slavery was deeply rooted in the society, Islam did not abolish it at once. Rather, Islam treated slavery in the same manner it treated other social illnesses. Islam followed the same methodology of gradual elimination in dealing with this social disease as it did with other social illnesses, for example: the prohibition of alcohol in three steps.
Concerning having slave women, we would like to let you know that it happens to be a practice necessitated by the condition in which early Muslims found themselves vis-a-vis non-Muslims, as both parties engaged in wars. Slave women or milk al-yameen are referred to in the Qur'an as "Those whom your right hand possess" or "ma malakataymanukum"; they are those taken as captives during conquests and subsequently became slaves, or those who were descendants of slaves.
Thus, it was a war custom in the past to take men and women as captives and then turn them into slaves. Islam did not initiate it, rather, it was something in practice long ago before the advent of Islam. And when Islam came, it tried to eradicate this practice, bit by bit. So it first restricted it to the reciprocal practice of war, in the sense that Muslims took war captives just as the enemies did with Muslims.
But as it aimed at putting an end to such issue, Islam laid down rules which would eventually lead to eradicating the practice. So it allowed Muslims to have intercourse with slave women taken as captives of just and legitimate wars. In so doing, the woman would automatically become free if she got pregnant. What's more, her child would also become free.
Not only that, Islam also ordered a Muslim to treat the slave woman in every respect as if she were his wife. She should be well fed, clothed and given due protection. In the family environment, she had the opportunity to learn about Islam and was free to accept it or reject it. She also had the opportunity to earn her freedom for she could be ransomed.
In the light of the above-mentioned facts, it's clear that some people misunderstand the wisdom behind the permissibility of having female slaves and think that it is meant to unleash men's desires and give them more enjoyment. Never! That is not the point! It is, rather, means of freeing slaves; and this is clarified above in the fact that if a master got a female slave pregnant, then he could neither sell her nor give her away as a present. And if he died, she would not be considered part of his property. She'd receive her freedom and her baby would also be free.
But, we have to stress that this case should not be confused with that of female servants or maids, for they are free and not slaves. Therefore, it is forbidden to engage in sexual relations with them except through an Islamic marriage.
Slavery has been abolished by international conventions, and goes in line with aims and objectives of Islam, as it has called for centuries ago.
As for marrying slaves, it is something permissible under two conditions: first, if one is unable to pay the dowry of a free woman. Second, if there is fear of committing adultery if one doesn't get married. This is clarified by the following verse:[And whose is not able to afford to marry free, believing women, let them marry from the believing maids whom your right hands possess. This is for him among you who fearethto commit sin. But to have patience would be better for you.](An-Nisaa'4: 25)
In conclusion, Allah has forbidden certain types of behavior and permitted other kinds of behavior as a safeguard to the individual and to the society. Allah has forbidden fornication and adultery. However, in the case of captives whom your right hands posses, it's something necessitated by the special circumstances which were created when the Muslims were at war."

Oscar – Sometimes
We first posted about Oscar a couple of months ago when a song called Open Up appeared on the internet. For those that missed it, Oscar is a fairly new musician from London who makes unfussy, uncomplicated bedroom guitar pop.
Admittedly, that description might not make Oscar's music sound like a particularly original proposition, but there is something in his music that makes it worth returning to. It might just be because the hooks are criminally catchy, but it's also down to the way that he writes and performs his songs that sets him apart from his peers – musically, Sometimes is kind of like a song by Blur or the Dandy Warhols or even the Super Furry Animals, but its vocal delivery sounds almost like something by Hannah Diamond (albeit a couple of octaves lower).
Anyway, don't just take our word for it – there's a new video for the song, directed by Jesse John Jenkins, that's watchable above. The song is taken from his new EP, '146b', released through Smalltown Supersound sublabel Brown Rice earlier this month.
Brown Rice released '146b' on May 4th 2014 (buy).

Construction is the process of constructing a building or infrastructure. Constructions differ from built-up; in that manufacturing typically involve mass production of comparable items without a designated consumer, although construction typically takes place on location for a known client. Construction as an industry comprises six to nine percent of the gross domestic product of residential countries. Construction starts with planning, design, and finance; and continues until the project is built and ready for use. Construction, the technique, and industry involved in the get-together and production of structures, primarily those used to provide shelter. Building construction is the earliest human activity. It began with the entirely well-designed need for a controlled environment to sensible the effects of climate. Constructed shelters were one means by which human beings were able to adapt themselves to a wide variety of climates and become a global species. Human shelters were at first very simple and possibly lasted only a few days or months. Over time, still, even temporary structures evolve into such highly developed forms. Gradually more durable structures began to become visible, mostly after the arrival of agriculture, when people began to stay in one place for long periods. The first shelters were the abode, but soon other functions, such as food storage and service were housed in separate buildings. Some structure begins to have representational as well as functional value, marking the beginning of the difference between architecture and building.

How Pope Francis can cleanse the far-right rot from the Catholic Church (BAT $%^& CRAZY ALERT)

WaPo ^ | 02-09-2017 | Emma-Kate Symons
Pope Francis needs to take tougher action against the United States' most influential Catholic in Rome, Cardinal Raymond "Breitbart" Burke. The renegade cleric is not only undermining Francis's reformist, compassionate papacy, and gospel teaching as it applies to refugees and Muslims, but the rebel prince of the church is also using his position within the walls of the Vatican to legitimize extremist forces that want to bring down Western liberal democracy, Stephen K. Bannon-style. Simply put, the Vatican is facing a political war between the modernizing Pope Francis and a conservative wing that wants to reassert white Christian dominance. Burke...
Skyrocketing lesbian 'divorce' rates show failure of same-sex couples imitating marriage

Life Site News ^ | 01/08/2021 | Joseph Shaw
It seems that women in the U.K. who consider themselves "married" to other women are separating in soaring numbers — at rates higher than actual divorces, which is to say among heterosexual couples, who alone can marry. One lesbian activist, Natalie Drew, blames this uptick in lesbian "divorces" on same-sex "marriage" itself. The Daily Mail reports that "divorces" among same-sex couples increased from 428 in 2018 to 822 in 2019, and of the 2019 figure, almost three quarters are lesbian couples. (There were also 107,599 actual divorces that year in the U.K., an increase of 20% on the previous year.)...
Switzerland Votes to Legalize Same-Sex Marriage

Metro Weekly ^ | 12/22/20 | Ricky Gillis
In a major win for the LGBTQ community, Switzerland lawmakers approved the legalization of same-sex marriage last week. At the same time, the law also allowed transgender people to alter their legal gender at civil registry offices in the country and allows lesbian couples to conceive children using donated sperm, Reuters reports. Despite passing parliament, the same-sex marriage law may have to pass a national referendum in the coming year. However, activists expect a potential referendum to succeed, after a recent survey found support for marriage exceeding 80% in Switzerland. Campaign group Marriage For All posted a statement on their...
Supreme Court denies Indiana birth certificate case

NBC News ^ | December 14th 2020 | Associated Press
The U.S. Supreme Court declined Monday to take up an Indiana case seeking to reverse a lower court's ruling that allows both members of same-sex couples in the state to be listed as parents on the birth certificates of their children. The high court turned aside without comment a petition that Indiana's attorney general, Curtis Hill, filed with the court last month. Hill had argued for the justices to reverse a January decision by the U.S. 7th Circuit Court of Appeals that affirmed a ruling by Indiana's federal southern district court that said Indiana laws limiting who can be called...
Surveys Show Vast Majority of Western Catholics Support Same-Sex 'Marriage'

Official Church teaching describes homosexuality as 'intrinsically disordered' and something that 'can in no case be approved of.'WASHINGTON, D.C., November 19, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — A report released by the Pew Research Center (PRC) shows that a majority of Catholics surveyed in Western Europe, the Americas, and across the world support either homosexual "marriage" or homosexuality as such — contrary to the official teaching of the Catholic Church. The comprehensive report, released earlier this month, focuses on Catholics' view on homosexuality. Compiling the results of studies conducted over the past few years, the figures demonstrate a wide-scale rejection of Catholic teaching...

Homosexuals in Ireland believe that Pope Francis should initiate church blessings for same-sex couples. On October 21, 2020, We Are Church Ireland, a Catholic reform group that supports LGBT values, announced that the pope, who spoke out in favor of legalizing same-sex marriage, should initiate a church blessing for these marriages, according to Novenanews.com. We Are Church Ireland said in a press release that the organization "warmly welcomes the excellent news that Pope Francis is supporting civil unions for couples of the same sex." According to representatives of the organization, this is "a very important step for Pope Francis and...

Pope Francis and civil unions: fake news
Catholic Arena ^ | 22nd October 2020 | Catholic Arena
This morning, the world has been greeted with headlines proclaiming that 'Pope Francis blesses gay marriage'. It stems from hysteria related to use of older comments in a new documentary about the pope, entitled 'Francesco'. As with many other similar instances of controversy in the papacy of Francis, such as the 'Who am I to Judge?' fiasco, a mix of Francis's ambiguous speaking style and deliberate lies by the mainstream media are to blame, though this time there is the added aspect of the strange nature of Frances's documentary. We must also lay some of the blame at the feet...

Many gay and lesbian couples who are legally married or considering getting legally married are freaking out, fearing that President Donald Trump's Supreme Court nominee Amy Coney Barrett may doom their marriages. Some are even rushing their legal marriages in order to get them in before Barrett can strike them down. These fears are largely irrational, however. Former South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg led the charge. Buttigieg, a former Democratic presidential candidate who is legally married to another man, told Fox News Sunday that the legality of his marriage is on the line."My marriage might depend on what is...
Episcopal Church panel rules against bishop who banned gay marriage in diocese: He 'violated canon law'
Christian Post ^ | 10/06/2020 | Michael Gryboski
A disciplinary panel of The Episcopal Church has ruled that a bishop who refused to allow the blessing of same-sex marriages in his diocese violated canon law. Bishop William Love of the Episcopal Diocese of Albany was punished last year with a restriction on his ministerial duties after he refused to allow same-sex marriages in his diocese. Love had refused to allow for the enforcement of Resolution B012, a measure passed in 2018 requiring that all Episcopal dioceses allow for the blessing of same-sex unions.

Nevada to vote on scrapping man-woman definition of marriage in state Constitution
Christian Post ^ | September 29th 2020 | Ryan Foley
Voters in Nevada will decide in November whether to change the text of the state Constitution to remove language defining marriage as a union between only one man and one woman. Nevada is one of the about 30 states that passed a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage before such rules were struck down by the 2015 Supreme Court decision, Obergefell v. Hodges, which established a right to same-sex marriage nationwide. However, the text of the amendment remains in the Nevada Constitution even though it is unenforceable. In 2017, former Assemblyman Nelson Araujo and state Sen. David Parks, both Democrats,...

According to SB 145, the legislation "would exempt from mandatory registration" as a sex offender "a person convicted of certain offenses involving minors if the person is not more than 10 years older than the minor and if that offense is the only one requiring the person to register." The measure would allow a judge to decide if an adult who engages in oral or anal sex with a child must register as a sex offender if that person is within ten years of the age of the victim.
Netflix is SLAMMED for 'sexualizing' children after 'disgusting' trailer for new movie Cuties shows tween girls twerking in crop tops and hot pants - as viewers demand it be BANNED

A new Netflix film 'Cuties' has sparked outrage for showing children dressed provocatively and twerking on camera. The French film revolves around an 11-year-old Senegalese Muslim girl named Amy, who joins a twerking competition at school, upsetting her mother and going against her family traditions, while attempting to embrace her 'burgeoning femininity' through 'sensual dance moves'. Despite not yet making it to Netflix, Cuties, which has an NC-17 rating - the US's strictest movie rating that means nobody under the age of 18 can watch it - has already received major backlash for 'hyper-sexualizing' minors thanks to its incredibly provocative...
Are evangelicals changing their minds about same-sex relationships?
Christian Post ^ | 08/15/2020 | Jim Denison
Two reports caught my eye this week.One: In 2007, 90 percent of evangelicals said their church forbid (63 percent) or strongly discouraged (27 percent) "homosexual behaviors." In 2020, that figure has dropped to 65 percent (33.7 percent forbid, while 31.4 percent strongly discourage). Two: In 2008, 34.4 percent of evangelicals between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five supported same-sex marriage. In 2018, that figure had risen to 56.1 percent. Could this data be related? Are evangelical churches changing their position on same-sex marriage to align with and attract younger adults? Are younger evangelicals changing their position on same-sex marriage because...

A priest has resigned as a parish pastor after he performed a same-sex civil union ceremony in the town hall of the Italian town of Sant'Oreste. The priest is not expected to return to ministry for at least a year. On July 11, Fr Emanuel Moscatelli officiated at a ceremony in which two women, friends of the priest, contracted a civil union, in a ceremony described in the Italian media as a wedding. The priest did not wear liturgical vestments, wearing instead a red, white, and green ceremonial sash, often worn by mayors and other Italian civic officials when conducting...
The mother who took on America, Phyllis Schlafly - played by Cate Blanchett in a new TV drama - championed family values but dragged women to the Dark Ages (hurl Alert)
Daily Mail ^ | 3rd July 2020 | David Leafe
When she first welcomed British 'morality' campaigner Mary Whitehouse to her home town of St Louis, Missouri, in December 1972, America's own self-appointed moral guardian, Phyllis Schlafly, might have wondered whether she was looking at a mirror image of herself. Both favouring twin-sets, the two women also sported stiffly lacquered hairstyles — but the similarities between them went far beyond their prim appearance. Middle-aged matrons they might have been, but both were experts at — and relished — riling their opponents. Hugh Carleton-Greene, the BBC's director-general between 1960 and 1969, was so often provoked by Whitehouse that he bought a...

Christian photographer sues State of Virginia over law that may force him to service gay weddings
A professional photographer has filed a lawsuit against a new Virginia law that he says would force him to violate his sincerely held Christian beliefs by requiring him to provide his services to same-sex weddings. Chris Herring filed the lawsuit on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Norfolk Division, against the newly enacted Virginia Values Act. Signed into law by Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam in April, the law prohibits businesses from engaging in discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity. The lawsuit is a "pre-enforcement challenge," as Herring has not yet...
Russians 'vote' overwhelmingly to keep Putin in power, ban gay 'marriage'

Wednesday was the final day of voting in Russia on the all but inevitable re-election of President Vladimir Putin to another 12-year term, and on whether or not to formally ban state recognition of same-sex "marriage." Putin said in February that he would back a national referendum to "clarify some things," including that "marriage is a union of a man and woman" and that "as long as I am president, we will not have parents #1 and #2, we will have 'papa' and 'mamma.'" The comments were consistent with his past opposition to formal promotion of homosexuality. This week's amendment,...
Gay weddings have boosted US economy by $3.8 billion since landmark ruling (Barf alert)

Gay and lesbian weddings have boosted state and local economies by an estimated $3.8 billion since same-sex marriage was legalized nationwide in the United States in 2015, according to a study published on Thursday. Nearly 300,000 gay and lesbian couples have tied the knot since the US Supreme Court ruled in favor of same-sex marriage, according to researchers from the Williams Institute at California's UCLA School of Law. "Marriage equality has changed the lives of same-sex couples and their families," said the study's lead author Christy Mallory, state and local policy director at the Williams Institute.

Onderzoek
Prof. dr. ir. Kuiper was nauw betrokken bij zowel fundamenteel als op toepassing gericht onderzoek. Omstreeks 1980 leidde hij, samen met de microbioloog en ecoloog Jan Woldendorp, de plantenecoloog Peter van der Aart en de Groningse geneticus Wilke van Delden, het zogenaamde Plantago-project, waarbinnen tientallen ecologen, fysiologen en genetici onderzoek verrichtten aan weegbreesoorten. Zijn onderzoek richtte zich op de invloed van stressfactoren op planten, zoals zout, vorst en droogte. Hij gaf vorm aan het nieuwe vak ecofysiologie dat ecologie en fysiologie verbond, onder meer in de vorm van een leerboek hierover.

In het verlengde hiervan  was hij betrokken bij onderzoek naar de effecten van luchtverontreiniging op wilde planten en onderzoek aan stressfactoren en commerciële plantensoorten zoals de tomaat. Hij ging per 1 januari 1999 met emeritaat.

Ook na zijn emeritaat hield hij zich nog met plantenonderzoek bezig, onder meer met veldinventarisaties in Australië en Papua Nieuw-Guinea. Daarnaast bleef hij als vermaard en enthousiast paddenstoelendeskundige geregeld adviezen geven over giftigheid en plukken van paddenstoelen.

In 1983 werd hij benoemd tot lid van de Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen.

Persoonlijk
Piet Kuiper hield niet van academische conventies en protocollen. Zo droeg hij tijdens promotieplechtigheden nooit een toga.
Kuiper trouwde op 5 juli 1958 met de sociologe Cécile Marguerite Hélène Lapré (Djokjakarta, 6 juni 1936)  Hij had haar bij de NJN leren kennen en verrichtte ook geregeld botanisch veldonderzoek met haar.

Samen overleden ze weloverwogen op 10 december 2017.

Volkswagen emissions scandal: Which cars are affected?
Volkswagen Group is at the centre of a global emissions scandal, with the manufacturer admitting to using so-called 'cheat' software to artificially lower emissions in thousands of 1.2, 1.6 and 2.0 TDI engines.
As a result, these will be included in a huge recall which is set to commence in January 2016 and span diesel cars from Audi, SEAT, Skoda and Volkswagen. The recall only affects Euro 5 diesels built from 2008 onwards and is specific to the EA189 engine - which is the 1.6 TDI or 2.0 TDI engine - and the three-cylinder 1.2 TDI unit - codenamed EA111. To make matters all the more confusing, not all Audi, SEAT, Skoda and Volkswagen diesel cars were fitted with the cheat device.
Read all the latest on the emissions scandal | What should you do if your car is affected?
Introduced in 2012, the current generation Volkswagen Beetle shares its underpinnings with the Volkswagen Golf Mk6, right down to the selection of engines. These include 1.6-litre and 2.0-litre EU5 compliant diesel engines – so owners of Beetle diesels should check on the dedicated Volkswagen website to see if their model needs a software update.


Sen. Sherrod Brown put Tracey Forfa of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration on the spot when he pulled out a bag of dog treats and asked whether she could guarantee that it contained no ingredients from China. "I'll have to get back to you on that," she responded.
That finding, along with others, came out Tuesday during a congressional hearing led by U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, and U.S. Rep. Christopher Smith, R-New Jersey. The hearing was called in response to reports that China soon might be permitted to process chicken for human consumption in America, giving rise to questions about the effectiveness of country-of-origin labeling.
Also discussed was news that two pet retail chains have promised to soon stop carrying Chinese-made jerky pet treats, which have been linked to illnesses in some 5,600 animals, mostly dogs. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), however, continues to permit their sale in the United States, having found no scientific proof that jerky pet treats are to blame.
To that end, an official with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food Safety and Inspection Service (USDA FSIS) offered little consolation.
Daniel Engeljohn, FSIS assistant administrator for field operations, explained that Chinese manufacturers are applying for certification to export processed chicken to the United States — and the U.S. government is OK with that. Last August, USDA declared China eligible to export processed, cooked chicken to the United States after regulators affirmed that Chinese poultry processing plants are up to par in terms of food safety.
That means chicken from the United States and other countries with similar food-safety laws soon might be shipped to certified Chinese manufacturing plants for processing and, once cooked, sent back to America for human consumption. FSIS will be inspecting the chicken at various entry points in the United States.
That failed to ease the minds of Brown and Smith, who questioned Engeljohn about whether consumers ultimately would know when food had been processed in China.
Engeljohn said that if chicken processed in China is repackaged in the United States, it could carry a "Made in USA" label. "We don't have criteria that we use to set a basis for 'made in the U.S.,' " he said.
No, Engeljohn said: "I don't believe you could identify that there were no ingredients from another country." He explained that a small portion of any food item might be sourced, slaughtered or processed in a country that differs from what appears on the country-of-origin label.
"What's the use of that kind of label then?" Brown retorted.
Tracey Forfa, deputy director of the FDA Center for Veterinary Medicine, fielded questions from lawmakers about why regulators haven't banned Chinese-made pet treats that are widely believed to have sickened pets, even as retailers stop carrying such products.
Last month, Petco and PetSmart announced that they will stop carrying Chinese-made treats in response to consumer demands. Regulators, however, must act on scientific evidence, Forfa said.
Veterinarians and pet owners have questioned the safety of jerky made for pets since 2007, when animals started to become ill after eating jerky treats. The FDA has received approximately 4,800 complaints to date. The vast majority of reported illnesses and deaths involve dogs that have consumed Chinese-made jerky treats. A few cats and three humans also reportedly have been sickened.
Sixty percent of the reported adverse reactions involve gastrointestinal illnesses while some 30 percent relate to kidney or urinary issues, Forfa said. The rest deal with convulsions, tremors, hives and skin irritations.
She added that the FDA is actively investigating 125 well-documented cases. The agency has analyzed some 250 jerky treat samples connected with complaints plus 200 retail samples. Forfa described the testing for contaminants as "intensive." FDA also tests the composition of jerky pet treats to verify that they contain only the ingredients listed on their labels.
FDA meets regularly with the Chinese Administration of Quality Supervision Inspection and Quarantine about the jerky issue, Forfa said. The agency also has inspected several Chinese manufacturing plants as scientists from both countries share their epidemiological findings.
"We've initiated a scientific collaboration with the Chinese," Forfa asserted.
This failed to convince lawmakers that the FDA is doing all it can. Pulling out a bag of pet treats, Brown asked Forfa if she could identify whether any of the ingredients had been sourced in China.
She could not immediately provide an answer.

The Future Of Television
SAVANNAH, Ga. (WSAV) —
When it comes to watching television…you have more options than ever before. Gone are the days of 3 channels and waiting weeks to watch the next episode of your favorite shows. But do you understand what all of those options mean and what they offer? Mitch West, Nexstar's regional digital director, can help you sort through it all.
"I call it alphabet soup. And so there's CTV…that's connected television. That's that smart tv screen in your living room. You power that up. You use your Wi-Fi from your high speed internet. And there you have all your apps. You watch all your shows. The second is what we call an over the top device…which is an agnostic device. That's an Apple TV, a ROKU, an Amazon Fire Stick. You plug that into your television through an HDMI cord and you are able to access all of your favorite shows. And finally, what we call a "full episode player"…or FEP. That is going to be the NBC.com or the NatGeo.com…where you can go to their website and watch 30 and 60 minute episodic programs."
Many people have already terminated their cable contracts and now watch television on their own terms. Whether your considering cutting the cable cord for economic reasons…or just because you feel you're not using all the options you pay for, Mitch has some advice.
"Cable and satellite provide tremendous resources and services and they are great services. Talk about HD…great 4K developments…so if you are happy with cable, I'd say stay with those services. But if you are struggling to make ends meet, you need to cut certain programs in your life that allows you to make an economic decision for yourself and your family…to be able to provide still some of the great content that you can get through formats like YouTube TV or Hulu Livestream — which, by the way, is available for WSAV right there in Savannah."
And for those who have broken up with cable but feel you'll run out of content because there's only so much out there, Mitch has some eye-opening information about that too. To put it in perspective, in 2008, there were 198 scripted programs. But last year there were over 460 scripted programs across cable, television, broadcast and all the streaming devices. For the time in history, Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime canceled programs that were not being engaged. They did not get renewed for a second season. So at the end of the day, the winners in the 'streaming wars' are gonna be those that are providing great content. He says we are living in the platinum age of television.
One thing many people think they'll miss out on if they break with cable is the lack of DVR storage.
"There are 2 platforms that you can subscribe to. One is Hulu Live Stream Plus…which is their live television. Which by the way, we're carried on so if you tune in you can see WSAV…one of my favorite tv stations. You can watch it and you can actually record up to 40 hours on the DVR with Hulu Live Stream. With YouTube TV…you have unlimited DVR space."
If you have any questions, Mitch has answers:
"If any of your viewers want to know more about their access they have available…or if you're a local business in the Savannah or in the Hilton Head area, please call our station about how we can help you connect and be relevant in the growing field."
And, if perspective advertizers are wondering why they should buy time on a platform that allows consumers to opt out of commercial time, Mitch says less than 30% of subscribers choose the "commercial free" option becuase we're used to seeing ads and we don't want to pay more for opting out. It's a win-win for everyone!

GRIZZLY Cookware is a veteran-owned company that designs and manufactures innovative cast iron cookware. GRIZZLY elevates performance in both form and function while honoring the quality elements of traditional cast iron cookware. Committed to our craft and 100% made in America, GRIZZLY is also proud to employ military veterans.
"GRIZZLY Cookware was born from an appreciation for, and desire to celebrate, the centuries-old bond between Southern cuisine and cast iron cooking," says Kyle Caniglia, Founder of GRIZZLY Cookware and a U.S. Army veteran.
Our team creates a high-quality American-made cast iron skillet that is rooted in tradition but incorporates modern advances for our increasingly foodie-focused culture.
"We began an exhaustive research into the history of the cast iron cookware industry in the United States," says Tim Newcombe, Program Manager and fellow veteran. The introduction of alternatives like stainless steel and Teflon as well as the influx of imported inferior cast iron products all but ended cast iron as our grandparents and their grandparents knew it. "Despite all efforts to adapt, most of the American cast iron cookware brands were forced to shut their doors by the latter half of the 20th century. GRIZZLY was launched to honor that heritage in an innovative way."
A respect and passion for American-made craftsmanship is present throughout every aspect of GRIZZLY Cookware, and is the reason the entire production process (ideation, casting, machining, plating and packaging) started in the very same North Carolina cities and towns that we call home.
Working closely with designers, engineers, academics, and manufacturers, we enlisted the help of top chefs to field test the inaugural 12-inch skillet in their restaurants. We also asked home cooks and outdoor enthusiasts to weigh in on versatility and ease of use. The feedback was unanimous.
GRIZZLY Cookware is the toughest cast iron cookware made in America and it's ready to handle the toughest environments. From the unforgiving pace of an industrial kitchen to the unforgiving crowd in your home kitchen or set atop an open flame in the great outdoors, get GRIZZLY to handle it all.
Made in America is more than just a slogan for GRIZZLY Cookware, a company committed to hiring military veterans. We believe in the leadership experience and discipline of those who have served our country and are proud to employ some of the hardest working folks out there. As GRIZZLY Cookware continues to grow, so too will job opportunities and support for our veteran community.

If you use an iPhone, you might want to go ahead and push the latest iOS update that just came out today. It could very well protect you from some particularly potent malware.
After said malware was sniffed out in the wild by activist Ahmed Mansoor, Citizen Lab and Lookout, security professionals have suggested users go ahead and update to iOS 9.3.5. ASAP. Said malware, known as Pegasus, is thought to be created by an Israeli intelligence vendor known as NSO Group, and if you find yourself having been infected with it, your phone could be at risk.
What can Pegasus do? Oh, nothing important -- just bypass the security on your iPhone and grab data like your phone calls, texts, emails, and personal information from your social networking apps. There are very serious repercussions to not performing the update, which should only take 20-30 minutes of your time while you just let the phone update.
You'll feel a whole lot better after you do.

KC Police Department Mounted Patrol Rides Tall
The hooved officers of the KCPD are a friendly face to the community
Article and Photos Pete Dulin. Additional Photography by Brandi Wisdom
Normally, the public doesn't interact with a Kansas City Police Department squad car as it patrols down a neighborhood street. Add a horse to the officer's patrol and the dynamic instantly changes to the benefit of all.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the formation of the Mounted Patrol section, a specialized unit of the Kansas City Police Department. Led by Sergeant Joey Roberts, a 19-year veteran in the department, the patrol consists of eight officers and eight horses. Coincidentally, most of those officers live in the Northland but work throughout the city. Unless the weather is excessively hot or cold, or road conditions are unsafe in winter, the unit operates full-time on a year-round basis to police the community and provide crowd control. Perhaps most importantly, the Mounted Patrol fosters goodwill as ambassadors for the police department, particularly in high-crime areas.
"The Mounted Patrol is a catalyst for bridging gaps with the community," says Sgt. Roberts. "Kids love seeing the horses and flag us down to come over. The kids know the horses by name."
The unit rotates its community policing patrols in different neighborhoods in the city and suburbs. During patrols, officers address calls for service and promote youth outreach as part of its public relations. The unit is present for large crowded events such as Rockfest, the St. Patrick's Day parade, and Mayor's Night Out. The Mounted Patrol visits the Country Club Plaza every Saturday night from spring through fall.
On patrol, the sergeant rides Commander, a tall bay Holsteiner that was formerly a dressage horse. Commander was assigned to the unit in May 2008 after being donated by Jim and Terri Neese of Olathe, Kansas. It's quite a sight when standing next to Sgt. Roberts riding Commander and towering above a street-level view.
Each horse stands at least 15.2 hands high, or more than five feet. As a unit of measurement, a hand equals four inches and is calculated from the hooves to the highest point of the withers, or the ridge between the horse's shoulder blades. The horses weigh from 1,100 to 2,300 pounds and, accordingly, establish a formidable presence.
The presence of an officer and horse working in unison makes an impression, especially during events with large crowds. Sgt. Roberts says, "One officer on a horse equals ten to twelve officers on the ground."
The intent of the mounted patrol is not intimidation but rather engagement as they serve the community. Given the heightened tension between police departments and the public in some areas of the nation, positive interaction on horseback is a powerful tool to build and reinforce trust.
The police department also sponsors a fall youth riding program as part of its outreach.
"We work with eight kids each season that have never ridden," says Sgt. Roberts. "We teach them basic horsemanship."
The program helps the Mounted Police connect to the public.
"The horses help humanize officers to the public," says Roberts. "Otherwise, kids' contact with law enforcement is minimal. They realize that we're normal people that also have kids."
Mounted Patrols through neighborhoods and highly visible areas of the city have the greatest impact and extend an implicit invitation to interact.
"When we go down the same street on a horse, people come out of their homes to talk to us and pet the horses. It closes that gap with the community," says officer Jake Emig, who has served with the Kansas City Police Department since 2009, and has been with the Mounted Patrol since 2015.
Emig hails from east-central Missouri and grew up around horses since he was a child. His horse, O'Sullivan, or "Sully," is a sorrel Paint/Quarterhorse that stands at 16.2 hands and formerly competed in extreme cowboy competitions. O'Sullivan is named after fallen officer John J. O'Sullivan, who was killed in the line of duty in December of 1978. Like many of the horses in the unit, Sully is patient with a calm temperament around other horses and humans. Each horse does have its own personality and behavior patterns.
The Mounted Patrol horses undergo training for sensitivity to aggravation and all manner of noises that would be encountered on patrol.
"They're already broken and ready to ride when they arrive," Emig says. "We expose them to anything and everything noise-wise – jackhammers, sirens, firecrackers – to desensitize them."
The horses also learn to ride single-file, in two columns, and in a wheel formation. They are trained for vehicle extraction and how to safely push back crowds.
Emig chats with Sully as if they are best friends. The bond between the officers and the horses is tight-knit. Sully has developed a bit of fame through his Instagram account, @sullykcpd, where photographs are posted of his adventures and patrols throughout the city.
"Sully likes to keep his followers up to date," says Emig. "We encounter a lot of people that didn't know Kansas City had a Mounted Patrol unit."
The officers in the mounted patrol, such as Dan Easley, Travis Hennegin, and Doug King, also treat each other like family. Each officer works with the same horse "for continuity." All officers in the unit are responsible for the horses' care that includes grooming, mucking stalls, feeding and other tasks. A farrier comes every six weeks to replace horseshoes.
The horses eat approximately 1,000 bales of hay in summer. The department pays for the hay, seed, and bedding. Other expenses are defrayed by a (501(c)3) nonprofit organization called the "Friends of the KC Mounted Patrol" that accepts tax-deductible donations. Donations help to purchase tack and equipment and allow the officers to attend training. The organization also has a Facebook page under the same name to promote awareness.
"Without the nonprofit, we probably wouldn't exist," says Roberts. "We're trying to build our own facility and stable."
Currently, the Mounted Patrol unit is based in stables at Lake of the Woods in Swope Park.
Emig acknowledges that "there are challenging days when the horses don't behave, but we get them squared away." Despite those "off" days, he loves to spend time with the horses.
Emig says, "I get to do exactly what I loved as a kid."
Community-based policing in Kansas City gets a helping hand, and a few extra legs, from the popular Mounted Patrol unit. Next time they make an appearance, there's no need to horse around. Get to know Commander, O'Sullivan, Buddy, Rookie, Guinness, Leader, Meyer, Dan the white horse, and the police officers that patrol and help protect the city.

Early the next morning, Jack drove to Roxanne's house. Roxanne was eating breakfast with Archie and Benny when the doorbell rang. She couldn't help but wonder who it was.
When she saw the person standing at the door, she was surprised. "Mr. Damaris, what brings you here so early in the morning? Did anything happen to Herbscape Group again?"
As she spoke, she looked at Jack in confusion and stepped aside to let him in.
Jack nodded firmly, looking solemn. "I spent a lot of money yesterday and helped stabilize their stock prices, but this morning, Herbscape Group was ordered to stop its operation. All of its projects and activities will have to be postponed from now on."
This meant that if they carried on with their project, Herbscape Group would likely be unable to supply them with medicines on time.
As a result, the money Jack spent would also go to waste.
When Roxanne realized that, she said worriedly, "Then our project…"
"It will also have to be postponed." Jack rubbed his temples and casually mentioned, "I wonder who Herbscape Group offended."
Upon hearing that, Roxanne thought of her speculation the day before. Guilt filled her as she took in Jack's distressed appearance.
In an attempt to change the topic, she cleared her throat and said, "Does this mean Damaris Group's efforts all this time will be in vain? It must be a huge loss."
Jack's frown deepened as he remarked, "The money I spent yesterday alone was a huge figure. I originally planned to temporarily stabilize Herbscape Group's situation with that money, but I didn't expect the officials to act so quickly."
"If there's nothing serious, Herbscape Group will probably be able to resume its operations after the investigation today, right? It's just that it will need some time to repair its reputation," Roxanne commented, looking uneasy.
The next second, she heard Jack chuckle helplessly. "It's not that easy."
Roxanne knitted her brows in puzzlement and looked at him.
Jack shrugged. "Seeing how the person behind this can ruin Herbscape Group's reputation in one day and how the officials treat this matter so seriously, I believe that person must have a powerful background. If that person doesn't want to go easy on Herbscape Group, then nothing good will come out of the investigation today."
In short, Herbscape Group had no control over its fate. It was at the mercy of that person behind the scene.
Even if Herbscape Group were really innocent, it would be found guilty if that person said so.
Roxanne had considered the possibility of Lucian being the person behind the scene, but she had never thought so deeply about the matter.
With Jack's reminder, Roxanne started to doubt the news and the evidence in the reports she had seen the day before.
Did Herbscape Group really do those things, or is that what Lucian wants to make them out to be? What is Lucian trying to achieve by doing this?
Roxanne and Jack talked while walking into the living room, then sat down on the couch.
Roxanne's mind was filled her speculations about Lucian that she was in a daze for some time. When she finally came back to her senses, she stood up apologetically and hurriedly prepared a cup of coffee for Jack.

Here's your first look at Josh Brolin as Cable, Zazie Beetz as Domino in Deadpool 2
The new anti-heroes who will team up with Ryan Reynolds for the superhero sequel
by Ben Kaye
on August 07, 2017, 12:30pm
Lights have been up on the filming for Deadpool 2 since late last month, and star Ryan Reynolds has been updating fans on the shoot's progress via his Twitter account. A few days back, he revealed the first look at Zazie Beetz as Domino, and today he's dropped two new images of Josh Brolin as Cable.
Fans right away noticed the difference in the former character's appearance. In the comics, Domino has pale white skin with a black oval around her left eye. The color scheme is reversed in Beetz's portrayal, which really only makes sense considering the casting. Our first official peeks of Beetz as the probability-altering mutant mercenary come in the form of two images, one a simple portrait and the other harping on an image used for the original Deadpool marketing.

Brolin, meanwhile, plays Cable, a time-traveling mutant with an obscenely complicated backstory that makes him the son of Cyclops and a clone of Jean Grey who's raised in a post-apocalyptic future by his parents in the bodies of other clones. It's a mess, but the long-and-short of it is he's a bad ass with a glowing eye, a metal arm, and big ass guns. From the looks of the images Reynolds shared today, the filmmakers have nailed it:

Directed by David Leitch and written by Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick (with "additional material" by Drew Goddard), Deadpool 2 will also see Jack Kesy as the villain. It's rumored he'll play Black Tom Cassidy, an Irish mutant with plant-based powers. Returning from the first film will be Morena Baccarin (Vanessa), Leslie Uggams (Blind Al), Stefan Kapacic (Colossus), and Brianna Hildebrand (Negasonic Teenage Warhead).
Deadpool 2 is set for a June 1st, 2018 release.

Q: Retrieving the Selected multiple select values I need to have multiple values selected when I call that LoadDropDown function. But its not working.... Please suggest how to get multiple options selected.
Select Profession:

<select name="selectcontent_profession" id="selectcontent_profession" multiple>
<option value="0">None</option>
<option value="10">Student</option>
<option value="201">Lecturer</option>
<option value="333">Head Of Department</option>
<option value="421">Principal</option>
<option value="523">Chairman</option>
<option value="667">Management</option>
<option value="784">Placement Officer</option>
</select>

<%
String s1= "10,333,421,523";
String[]  array = s1.split(",");
%>

A: You have to add the options like
var option = document.createElement("option");
option.text = "<%= array[i]%>";
option.value = "<%= array[i]%>";
 document.getElementById("selectcontent_profession").options
                                                       .add(option);

A: document.getElementById("selectcontent_profession").options[<%=array[i]%>].defaultSelected =true;

Use this statement in the loop.

A: First you have to declare the select's multiple selection option as follows:
<select name="selectcontent_profession" id="selectcontent_profession" multiple="multiple">

And your function should be like this:
var fld = document.getElementById('selectcontent_profession');
for(var i=0;i<fld.options.length;i++){
for(var j=0;j<array1.length;j++){
    if(fld.options[i].value==array1[j])fld.options[i].selected=true;
    }
}

You are trying to get the value of the dropdown whereas you have to set it to selected.

I've had brilliant Merino baselayers before and I've had thin mid-layers with the other features of Rab's Merino 160 Hoody before, (hood, long cuffs and deep chest zip), but this is the first time I've seen the fabric and features combined and it actually makes a lot of sense!
During uphill slogs and on sweaty pitches the Merino wicks moisture away, fast. This helps keep you cool when you're working hard, but then on long, cold belay sessions, having a dryer layer against the skin means warmth and comfort. I'm not going to pretend to understand how the 37.5 Technology treatment works, but I can attest to it keeping me more than comfortable.
On a sport climbing trip in January I wore the hoody almost every day for a month, mainly because I knew the merino wouldn't smell after days and days of constant use!
January in Spain means freezing mornings, and often warm, sunny days. The medium weight was great under a couple of layers on the cold mornings. And then, in the sun on baking belays and longer routes the hood was ideal for keeping the burning sun off my neck and shoulders. It sounds crazy but I actually love it for that even though I can't imagine it's what Rab had in mind when they designed it! They were doubtless thinking more of cold conditions and with the hood and zip up, your face is nicely cocooned. Most impressively, it fits under a thin beanie with space left for a helmet over the top, making a lovely warm combination.
Then there is the deep chest zip which is brilliant for keeping your temperature regulated on uphill slogs, running, mountain biking, walking, climbing… And yes, the zipper is big enough to handle with a pair of gloves on!
The combination of having this deep chest zip as well as the thumb loop cuffs and hood make the top incredibly adaptable, and the wicking nature of the fabric makes it an ideal base layer as long as it's under something breathable. For me, it's the perfect combination of natural fabric with a great cut and just the right amount of design features.

Q: Pulse transformer isolation on PCB I have a question about pulse transformer ,regarding to isolation, EMI reduction and heating.

*

*My PCB has 6 layers (4 signal and 2 power planes) and I am using pulse   transformer to isolate and convert 3.3 from/to 5V. Maximal output current is 200mA.

*Switching frequency for this transformer is 600kHz.

*Is it better to use ceramic or tantalum or electrolytic capacitor at output?

I am wondering, should I keep area below transformer without copper ( all layers and planes) or should I place GND or isolated GND polygons, maybe on top layer?
My first thought was to remove copper on every layer and plane, below, but then make some fills (outward) around isolated GND pin and connect it with couple of vias to internal plane.
For capacitors I placed ceramic at input because of lower ESR and tantalum at output because better voltage stability.
What are your suggestions?

A: Regarding heat: I would consider 200 mA at 5V as low power. You probably don't need to worry about substantial heat through the coil, or need a ground plane underneath it. The only thing that might get hot would be the switching element (IC or output FET).
Regarding EMI: You're circuit probably has a large input cap (33 uF) and a large output cap (10uF) after the coil to stabilize the rails. If you are concerned with switching noise, it would most likely come from ringing. Use a few filter components after the output cap, but as close as possible to the coil. I generally use a 1 uF cap, 0.1 uF cap, and a ferrite bead matched to 100x impedance ratio of my switcher's frequency vs, the DC resistance, below is a link to one. If you are concerned about radiated signals from your coil, consider using a shielded inductor. For any signal traces crossing pathes with your power signals, try to make them cross at perpendicular angles, instead of running parallel, the minimize chances of inductance.

Relocating to a brand new work space is an ideal time to discover new ways of working. Transforming your environment with a stylish fit out is the best way to reconfigure your desk space and explore new opportunities for transforming your offices. Discovering how you would like your interior design scheme to look is a process that requires attention, ingenuity and creativity. Enlisting the help of an interior design company who specialise in office designs is your first port of call.
Firstly, you will need to assess your spatial requirements. Your scheme must allow ample room within your office to complete tasks safely and comfortably in accordance with legal work place regulations. It is important to know how your staff and internal departments will interact and plan your space in line with this.
Next you will need to visualise your space with a coherent image in mind. New interior design is the ideal time to reinforce your brand message. Articulate your company logos, values and ethos with choice colours and relevant features.
Consider the existing fittings in your prospective office and decide how much needs to be replaced or renewed. Sustainability is now an important part of maintaining Grade A office spaces and it is a vital aspect to take into account.
Finally, you must specify the materials and furnishings that you would like to use in your new fit-out. Choosing the final touches is the fun part and will hopefully provide you with a stylish, functional space that you and your employees will look forward to working in.


The average capital of each newly established enterprise in the first month of 2019 is VND 15 billion, up nearly 65% compared to the same period in 2018.
Statistics from the General Statistics Office (Ministry of Planning and Investment) said that there were 10,079 new enterprises registered in the country in January 2019, with a total capital of VND 151,000 billion. On average, there are 325 newly established enterprises, the average registered capital is 15 billion VND. Compared to the same period of 2018, the number of newly established businesses decreased by 7% per day, but the registered capital increased by nearly 54%.
If including VND 484 trillion of additional registered capital of enterprises changing capital, the total additional registered capital to the economy in January is VND 635,100 billion.
In addition to the new set up, in January, there were nearly 8,500 enterprises returning to operation, bringing the total number of newly registered enterprises and operating back to over 18,500 units.
However, the number of enterprises "died" more than re-established. 9. Specifically, the General Statistics Office stated that this month, more than 10,800 enterprises temporarily suspended their business for a definite time, increasing by over 25%. compared to the same period 2018. On the other hand, nearly 12,300 businesses waited for dissolution procedures, of which over 7,340 were revoked business registration certificates according to the 2018 data standardization program to eliminate enterprises. established before but in fact no longer works.


"Media Literacy, Democracy, and the Challenge of Fake News" by Lance E. Mason, Dan Krutka et al.
In this essay, the authors offer a context for discussions about fake news, democracy, and considerations for media literacy education. Drawing on media ecology and critical media studies, they highlight the longer history of fake news and how this concept cannot be separated from the media technologies in which cultures grow. They discuss current iterations of this phenomenon alongside the effects of social media and offer a preview of the special issue.
