Manchester United delivered an emphatic warning that reports of their demise may be exaggerated with an emphatic dismissal of Newcastle United.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's hat-trick underlined the lingering threat still posed to their Premiership rivals by Sir Alex Ferguson's side.
But Ferguson will still have had reservations in victory - namely more uncertainty from goalkeeper Fabien Barthez and a nervous defensive display.
The Scot, however, will have been delighted to see his under-fire team respond in style to growing criticism of their Old Trafford empire.
Paul Scholes set them on their way early on - only for Olivier Bernard's speculative cross to embarrass Barthez to hand Newcastle an equaliser.
But Van Nistelrooy struck twice before the interval to put Manchester United in command.
And even though Alan Shearer's thundering free-kick - his 100th Premiership goal for the club - threw Newcastle a lifeline, Van Nistelrooy and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer restored the home side's supremacy.
Craig Bellamy's goal created late anxiety, but Manchester United were worthy winners.
Manchester United opened in fluent fashion, and it was no surprise when they went ahead after 24 minutes, Scholes rounding off good work by Solskjaer with a rousing finish.
Newcastle had barely posed a threat, but they were gifted an equaliser 10 minutes later as Barthez did a passable David Seaman impersonation to let Bernard's cross drift in at the far post.
It stung Manchester United into action, Van Nistelrooy heading home from Mickael Silvestre's deflected cross three minutes later, and then tapping home as Diego Forlan's shot flew across the face of goal.
Shearer again gave the Magpies hope five minutes after the interval, reaching his century of top flight goals for Newcastle with a 25-yard free-kick that tore into the top corner past a startled Barthez.
But once more Newcastle saw their hopes snuffed out within seconds as Van Nistelrooy completed his hat-trick with a close-range header from Forlan's cross.
Solskjaer added Manchester United's fifth after 54 minutes, racing on to Silvestre's long pass to beat Shay Given easily.
But Newcastle were furious the goal was allowed to stand, insisting the Norwegian had flattened Aaron Hughes in the build-up.
Sir Bobby Robson's side were not giving up, and were offered constant hope by shoddy defending from injury-hit Manchester United.
They scored a third with 17 minutes left after Bellamy was left unmarked only six yards out to send a header trickling past Barthez.
It set up an anxious finale for Ferguson, made worse when Laurent Blanc limped off through injury - but they emerged unscathed.
Man Utd: Barthez, O'Shea, Brown, Blanc (Roche 69), Silvestre, Solskjaer, Scholes, Fortune, Giggs, Forlan (Veron 79), van Nistelrooy (Richardson 64).

The United States must change an Internet gambling law that discriminates against European companies by preventing them from offering services in the U.S. market, the European Union's top trade official said last week.
"What we need to see is a change in U.S. legislation that removes that discrimination against EU operators," EU Trade Commissioner Peter Mandelson told reporters before heading to Capitol Hill to discuss the issue with U.S. lawmakers.
"It's not in the interest of American consumers to have good responsible competitors in this market excluded by regulatory mechanisms."
The European Union and other trading partners have been in compensation talks with the United States over Washington's decision to retroactively remove gambling services from the market-opening commitments it made as part of the 1994 Uruguay Round world trade agreement.
The United States took that step after the World Trade Organization ruled in a case brought by the tiny Caribbean nation Antigua and Barbuda.
Congress has since passed a broader online gambling ban.

A bad habit that many small business owners admit to is that they do not put time into doing the books very often. Sometimes this stretches for months at a time and culminates at tax time. However, a regular bookkeeping system can provide you with benefits that you would otherwise miss out on.
Bookkeeping can be an important asset for your business. It can put your business on a successful course by helping you make those important decisions. A yearly look over the books would mean that you don't see all the important information that they contain and would mean that it is too late to solve potential problems.
Another benefit of doing the books regularly is that you will know how much profit your business is making. By making financial reports you can track how well you are progressing in relation to your business's budget and goals.
We understand that this is not the best part of running your own small business. After a long day you don't want to have to plug away at bookkeeping. But by realising what an asset having up-to-date books can be, you can treat it as a priority and an opportunity to progress your business.
A method for making it easier to set aside time, is to use a small business accounting program that is simple to use. This will save you time and get rid of the headache that bookkeeping can cause.
Cashflow Manager makes the whole process easy. It is not designed purely for accountants, but for small business owners too. It is based on the manual cashbook method. Just enter the amount of money received into the correct column. Then when you are making a payment, enter than amount in the appropriate column for that expense. Easy as.
If relevant, Cashflow Manager will make your Business Activity Statement, including calculating your GST. This is ready for you to submit online. Cashflow Manager will also help you ensure your bank statements and records are balanced.
So keep the creditors at bay for only 15 minutes a day, with the Cashflow Manager bookkeeping system.

The Rise of Reefer Shipping

While refrigerated containers pose a challenge to carriers and ports, demanding high running costs and regular maintenance, the market for reefer shipping is growing at a fast rate, reports Port Technology.
In a recent technical paper, available from Port Technology, Maersk Container Industry's Søren Leth Johannsen explained that cutting energy costs and optimizing cargo quality, using a combination of existing and emerging technologies, makes this sector valuable for maritime businesses. Although technological innovation has already had a significant impact on reefer shipping, carriers, terminals and analysts agree that there is more potential for development.
This has been underlined by the decision of leading shipper Maersk to commit to "cold chain", its Container Industry segment deciding to pursue the Internet of Things (IoT) as a means of transforming and improving reefer operations. While there is enormous pressure mounting on the dry container industry, how can the market for refrigerated containers continue to grow as technology evolves?
How did reefers come into being?
In its global reefer analysis for 2015, Dynamar underlined the emergence of a core trend; instead of conventional reefer ships, refrigerated boxes would soon become more popular. By 2018, a shift in the industry had clearly taken effect, with major ocean carriers such as CMA CGM and Ocean Network Express (ONE) investing in advanced reefer boxes to support the needs of their long distance supply chains.
The benefit of reefer containers is clear: as the technology of a self-contained refrigerated unit has developed, which can bypass cold storage upon its arrival at a destination, the individual reefer has become an easier option for the process of loading and unloading. Martin Dixon, Head of Research Products at Drewry, has highlighted that "more investment is going into the controlled-atmosphere systems" used by reefers, which slow the ripening of fruit and vegetables during long-distance transportation. By "allowing the sea-going carriers to compete more intensively with the air-freighters", as Dixon argues, refrigerated containers hold an extremely valuable position in the market.
The State of Play
Drewry has predicted that reefer trade will continue to grow over the next five years at an average annual rate of around 3%, below the 3.5% mean of the last ten years. This statistic however, which suggests a downturn for the sector, may not tell the whole story.
While the overall growth rate of reefer shipping may be slowing, "containerized reefer traffic" is accelerating at a much faster pace; according to Drewry, this share of the market expanded by 8% in 2017, and continues to develop year-on-year.
For terminals specializing in cold container operations, such as the reefer-dedicated facility at the Port of Luka Koper in Slovenia, the growth of this business area has been reflected by an increase in competitiveness, the market and customer expectations "becoming stricter and more demanding".
"In order to cope with this," as Operations Manager Luka Kraljić explains, "our operations have to be well-coordinated and monitored, but still flexible": the key focus for the terminal is "careful planning" and cooperation "among participants in the supply chain".
Challenges Faced By Industry
The marketplace for containerized reefers may be lucrative, but terminals and solution providers working within this sector are still required to overcome a series of operational and financial challenges.
The Port of Luka Koper faces the most difficulties during peak season when, despite a significant increase in container volume, "clients expect the best service with practically the same time for delivery of goods". Many reefer terminals, like Luka Koper's, have limited resources and need to strictly manage storage availability "in order not to run overbooked", the growth of the reefer trade itself incurring added challenges for businesses dealing with refrigerated containers.
From the perspective of Anders Holm, Global Head of Sales and Marketing at Maersk Container Industry, reefer shipping also provokes discussions about environmental performance: "In daily operations," Holm underlines, "our customers need to meet their sustainability goals while operating cost-efficient."
As the entire maritime community prepares for the International Maritime Organization's (IMO) new sulphur limits, to be introduced in January 2020, the cost of fuelling a ship carrying multiple reefer units has understandably caused concern.
A Smarter Future
Although reefer containers have limited lifespans, and are expensive to run while they are in service, the evolution of new technologies within the sector could present serious benefits to shippers and terminals alike.
According to Maersk, temperature-control software such as 'StarConomy' will help carriers absorb the cost of increased energy bills, while the launch of its Sekstant reefer digitalization service is set to provide container operators with increased visibility of their reefer fleets.
With added transparency comes increased efficiency, as real-time access to data on container temperature, atmosphere and energy consumption can help shippers to organise their reefer shipments more effectively.
"Customer demand", as Maersk asserts, has prompted the rise of these new technologies, and Martin Dixon of Drewry agrees that container shipping lines are looking to "capture this growing market".
The containerized reefer trade will continue growing over the next few years and as demand on shipping lines, solution providers and specialist terminals increases, so will the need for new technologies and smarter operations to accommodate this.

Self-proclaimed sleaze-rock quartet Demon's Alley blend punk rock with 80's glam metal on their latest three song demo — think Guns 'n Roses meets the Ramones. But the line denoting punk from hair metal is clear throughout: simple three-chord punk passages collide with bad-boy-in-eye-liner tales of brown liquor-induced debauchery. With lead singer Pink, it's all about the theatrical arena-rock vocal imagery. On "Suicide Ride," an allegorical song where driving fast is living free, he chronicles a life on the run, where "tearin' up the road," "always on the run," "never coming home," with "man and machine combined" is "the only way to be." Pink's Jello Biafra-esque snarls spew images of devils coaxing women into cars during "Devil In Disguise." A short while after rubbing his hair up and down his lady companion's thighs, he has a confession: "I'll tell ya a little secret, I'm the devil in disguise." Wherever he is, Beelzebub must be smiling. myspace.com/demonsalley.
Sahaj Ticotin, front man of nu metal band Ra, apparently was a one-time record holder for longest sung note by a male vocalist. That 24-second record may be long-ago broken, but Ra continues to thrive with "Black Sun," their third studio effort that has recently charted on the Billboard 200. Borrowing their name from an Egyptian Sun God, Ra dots heavy metal explosiveness with European and South Asian influences. "Broken Hearted Soul" begins with a finger-picked flamenco acoustic intro, and "Lost Along the Way" includes sitar-sounding guitar effects during snake-charmer solos. But "Black Sun" shines brightest during "I Believe Again," one of the few songs to eschew overseas influences for localized pop hooks. Self-reflective piano chords cycle over long-sustained synth notes and over-drive guitar crunch as Ticotin believes in "thoughts that can touch the sky" and puts together "broken pieces can be whole again." It might not break any records, but Ra's melting-pot metal shines on Black Sun. ra-band.net.
According to veteran Worcester pop-rock trio Huck, a Johns Hopkins study has proven their music can eliminate depression by getting people to "move out of their parents' basements, get jobs, and form meaningful, emotionally satisfying relationships with members of both sexes." This study is no joke, at least not when the feel-good atmosphere of Huck's sixth eponymous release is beaming though stereo speakers. Singer Scott Ricciuti's sugary-sweet vocal style adds a jovial sheen to otherwise bland anecdotes like meeting dudes on the street for no reason on "Ice Cream Social," or wondering on "Amber Nicole Wright" if a girl has blue eyes and long hair. And the jams are just as optimistic. Raucous alt-rock guitar fuzz, tick-tock drums, and pugnacious two-chord blues jaunts in "Never See The End" help promote exuberant foot tapping as the Hucksters "brush the daylight off our shoulders." If Huck's latest release teaches us anything, it's that positive mindsets lead to good music. myspace.com/huckpop.

The shocking FTX scandal is becoming an Amazon TV series
""We are excited to be able to continue our great working relationship with David, Joe, Anthony, and the AGBO team," said Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios.
by Kerem Gülen
in Streaming, Tech
Joe and Anthony Russo's production firm, AGBO, has set up an eight-episode limited series about the FTX scandal on Amazon, according to Variety. An insider with knowledge of the project claims that the Russos are in discussions to direct in addition to executive producing, while David Weil is expected to write the pilot and executive produce. In addition to Natalie Laine Williams, Mike Larocca, Angela Russo-Otstot, and Scott Nemes for AGBO will serve as executive producers.
When will we watch the FTX scandal on Amazon?
The series about the FTX scandal will reportedly premiere on Amazon in the spring of 2023.
"We are excited to be able to continue our great working relationship with David, Joe, Anthony, and the AGBO team with this fascinating event series. I can't think of better partners to bring this multifaceted story to our global Prime Video audience," stated Jennifer Salke, head of Amazon Studios.
Joe and Anthony Russo's production firm, AGBO, has set up an eight-episode limited series about the FTX scandal on Amazon
FTX was established in 2019 and quickly rose to prominence as one of the largest and most well-known cryptocurrency exchanges worldwide. But in recent weeks, FTX has crumbled, with reports of over $2 billion in stolen client cash and federal authorities conducting investigations. Sam Bankman-Fried, popularly known as SBF, the former CEO and co-founder of FTX, has also come under intense investigation.
Several journalists who have covered FTX and Bankman-Fried are said to have contributed "insider reporting" for the Amazon series, while it is yet unknown exactly what sources will be used. Additionally, according to sources, the Russos have had early negotiations with a number of Marvel performers with whom they have previously collaborated about appearing on the program in significant roles.
"This is one of the most brazen frauds ever committed. It crosses many sectors—celebrity, politics, academia, tech, criminality, sex, drugs, and the future of modern finance. At the center of it all sits an extremely mysterious figure with complex and potentially dangerous motivations. We want to understand why," the Russo brothers explained.
FTX scandal is becoming an Amazon TV series
The FTX scandal series was announced after Variety wrote about how Hollywood was interested in learning more about the specifics of the incident. Additionally, it is the most recent limited series about contemporary entrepreneurs and the sudden downfall of their businesses. Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes was portrayed by Amanda Seyfried in Hulu's "The Dropout," which just won the Emmy for outstanding actress in a limited series. Jared Leto and Anne Hathaway appeared in Apple's "WeCrashed," which followed the growth and collapse of WeWork under Adam and Rebekah Neumann. Additionally, Joseph Gordon-Levitt plays former Uber CEO Travis Kalanick in the anthology series "Super Pumped" on Showtime. Facebook's second season is still in the planning stages.
The Russos inked a deal with Amazon in 2018 for the high-budget spy drama "Citadel" after their success on two "Captain America" films and two "Avengers" flicks. The goal of the series, which stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra, is to produce several regional spinoffs in other countries. Following retakes, the first season of "Citadel" finished filming earlier this year. At the time of this writing, no premiere date had been decided.

Weil has collaborated with the Russos and AGBO for the second time; he was supposedly hired for "Citadel" rewrites. As the creator and showrunner of the conspiracy thriller series "Hunters," which will finish with its upcoming second season, this is Weil's third Amazon production to date.

LIU Sharks Welcome Arsenii Smekhnov
by CBode
Since Long Island University announced they would be implementing a division one men's ice program back in May, they have wasted no time compiling a roster for the upcoming season. I spoke with one of those recruits, Rob McCollum, a few months ago about what it meant to join the Sharks inaugural season.
Today, Arsenii Smekhnov, the newest addition to LIU's roster, shares his thoughts on what it means to join the program and the accompanying challenges.
A huge Shark welcome to Arsenii! So pumped to keep building this inaugural class 🦈 #finsup pic.twitter.com/JjMLn3dN7g
— LIU Hockey (@LIUMHockey) August 7, 2020
Smekhnov hails from Kirov, Russia, but has played most of his youth hockey in the United States, most recently skating for the Youngstown Phantoms and Fargo Force of the USHL and Janesville Jets of the NAHL. He will be amongst LIU's class of incoming freshmen, aiming to add some skill to the forward line up.
Why LIU?
Smekhnov: LIU is a new program, and I simply just wanted to be a part of it and be a part of something new and something special. I also have a lot of friends who live in NY and I've only heard good things about LIU from them.
What are you looking forward to being part of a brand new NCAA ice hockey program?
Smekhnov: It's definitely gonna be a fun experience. It looks like LIU is recruiting some pretty good players, so I feel like I definitely want to be one of them.
How do you hope your time at LIU impacts you as a player and a person?
Smekhnov: Well, college level is a step up in my hockey career, so my time at LIU definitely will prepare me for the next level, whatever it is going to be, in my hockey career. Also, I'm sure it's going to make me a better teammate and a better person, just by being around the older guys and learning something from them.
What were your initial thoughts about the Sharks' program and how did you hear about them?
Smekhnov: I think pretty much everyone was talking about the new hockey program in NY. So, when I first heard about it, I read some articles about it and thought it was great. The more schools there are makes it more competitive and a lot more fun to play.
Describe the significance of being a member of LIUs men's ice hockey inaugural team.
Smekhnov: It is definitely something special for me and I'm looking forward to getting to school as soon as possible.
In what ways do you hope to overcome some of the challenges this season, given LIU being a new program as well as navigating the pandemic as a student and athlete?
Smekhnov: It looks like we are going to have a tight group, so it is not going to be difficult for us to overcome all the challenges we have as a sharks' family.
What are your thoughts on the group of guys LIU has gotten together thus far?
Smekhnov: It seems that we have a good group of very skilled young guys from the best junior leagues, as well as some veterans that have transferred. It's going to be a great organization with some great players.
With sources reporting the Big Ten Conference has plans to cancel the upcoming college football season given the Coronavirus pandemic, it's unclear what that means for other sports. The NHL has proved that it is possible to play hockey in a safe environment, but this is primarily attributed to the 'NHL bubble,' where players live and play in a secure location. Likewise, the MLB has exposed how quickly a season can be derailed from players and staff traveling and interacting freely with others, possibly coming in contact with COVID 19. However, college hockey may be among the few sports to see a season this year, as there is no skin to skin contact and players wear gloves and face masks.
Handling the pandemic will add to the challenges LIU is already bound to face being a brand new program without a conference but has already proved to have a dedicated coaching staff and enthusiastic roster. I think we will all be anxiously waiting to see what the 2020-21 college hockey season will bring

StanChart seeking buyers for $350 million HK pension business-sources, (NYSE: MET), (NYSE: MFC), (TSE: MFC.TO), (NYSE: PFG), (NYSE: PUK)
Standard Chartered plc is seeking buyers for its Hong Kong pension business valued at about $350 million in a deal that would also involve a 15-year distribution agreement with the new owner, people with knowledge of the matter told Reuters.

A thief in future Shanghai swipes a high tech learning primer meant for a nobleman's daughter and inadvertently sets a revolution in motion. This steam-punk-inspired sci-fi novel is part political thriller, part coming of age tale and a whole lot of fun. Stephanson anticipates some ipad/ebook technology and explores the impact of learning and access to information on a young mind.
Decades into our future, a stone's throw from the ancient city of Shanghai, a brilliant nanotechnologist named John Percival Hackworth has just broken the rigorous moral code of his tribe, the powerful neo-Victorians. He's made an illicit copy of a state-of-the-art interactive device called A Young Ladys Illustrated Primer Commissioned by an eccentric duke for his grandchild, stolen for Hackworth's own daughter, the Primer's purpose is to educate and raise a girl capable of thinking for herself. It performs its function superbly. Unfortunately for Hackworth, his smuggled copy has fallen into the wrong hands.
Young Nell and her brother Harv are thetes—members of the poor, tribeless class. Neglected by their mother, Harv looks after Nell. When he and his gang waylay a certain neo-Victorian—John Percival Hackworth—in the seamy streets of their neighborhood, Harv brings Nell something special: the Primer.
Following the discovery of his crime, Hackworth begins an odyssey of his own. Expelled from the neo-Victorian paradise, squeezed by agents of Protocol Enforcement on one side and a Mandarin underworld crime lord on the other, he searches for an elusive figure known as the Alchemist. His quest and Nell's will ultimately lead them to another seeker whose fate is bound up with the Primer—a woman who holds the key to a vast, subversive information network that is destined to decode and reprogram the future of humanity.
Neal Stephenson issues from a clan of rootless, itinerant hardscience and engineering professors (mostly Pac-10, Big 10, and Big 8 with the occasional wild strain of Ivy). He began his higher education as a physics major, then switched to geography when it appeared that this would enable him to scam more free time on his university's mainframe computer. When he graduated and discovered, to his perplexity, that there were no jobs for inexperienced physicist-geographers, he began to look into alternative pursuits such as working on cars, unimaginably stupid agricultural labor, and writing novels. His first novel, The Big U, was published in 1984 and vanished without a trace. His second novel, Zodiac: An Eco-Thriller, came out in 1988 and quickly developed a cult following among water-pollution-control engineers. It was also enjoyed, though rarely bought, by many radical environmentalists. Snow Crash was written in the years 1988 through 1991 as the author listened to a great deal of loud, relentless, depressing music.
Mr. Stephenson now resides in a comfortable home in the western hemisphere and spends all of his time trying to retrofit an office into its generally dark, unlevel, and asbestos-laden basement so that he can attempt to write more novels. Despite the tremendous amounts of time he devotes to writing, playing with computers, listening to speed metal, Rollerblading, and pounding nails, he is a flawless husband, parent, neighbor, and all-around human being.

Lewis v. DBI Services
United States District Court, W.D. Texas, San Antonio Division
GREGORY MICHAEL LEWIS, Plaintiff,
DBI SERVICES, HEADQUARTERS IN PENNSYLVANIA; WILL SCHULLER, DBI PROJECT MANAGER; AND UNKNOWN, ASSISTANT PROJECT MANAGER; Defendants.
TO SHOW CAUSE
ELIZABETH S. ("BETSY") CHESTNEY UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Before the Court in the above-styled cause of action is Plaintiff's pro se Civil Rights Complaint [#1]. The record reflects that this case was originally filed in the Southern District of Texas and transferred to this district on June 12, 2019 because all Defendants reside in Bexar County, Texas and all events underlying this action occurred in Bexar County, Texas [#10]. Upon transfer, the Court issued an Order to Plaintiff informing him that his IFP application was incomplete and ordering Plaintiff to either supplement his IFP application with a Nueces County Jail institutional trust fund account statement for the past six months or to pay the filing fee [#11]. Plaintiff supplemented his IFP application with the additional requested documentation on July 12, 2019 [#13] and filed a motion for the appointment of counsel [#14]. By separate order, the Court granted the IFP motion and will now deny the motion for appointment of counsel and order Plaintiff to show cause why his claims should not be dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e).
I. Appointment of Counsel
Courts may appoint counsel pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(1) in IFP proceedings. Under § 1915(e)(1), the Court has discretion to appoint an attorney to represent a litigant in federal court, but there is no right to the automatic appointment of counsel in a civil case. Akasike v. Fitzpatrick, 26 F.3d 510, 512 (5th Cir. 1994); Cupit v. Jones, 835 F.2d 82, 86 (5th Cir. 1987). Appointment of counsel in a civil case is considered a privilege, not a constitutional right, and should be allowed only in exceptional circumstances. Lopez v. Reyes, 692 F.2d 15, 17 (5th Cir. 1982) (citation omitted); see Cupit, 835 F.2d at 86. In evaluating whether the appointment of counsel is proper under § 1915(e), the district court considers the type and complexity of the case, the litigant's ability to investigate and present the case, and the level of skill required to present the evidence. See Castro Romero v. Becken, 256 F.3d 349, 354 (5th Cir. 2001). Plaintiff has not demonstrated that exceptional circumstances are present in his case or that, based on the record, appointment of counsel is appropriate under the applicable legal standards under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e).
II. More Definite Statement
Upon review of Plaintiff's Complaint, there are certain deficiencies in Plaintiff's allegations that, if not corrected, will result in the dismissal of his case. The Court will therefore direct Plaintiff to show cause why his Complaint should not be dismissed pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e).
Section 1915(e) empowers federal courts to screen any civil complaint filed by a party proceeding IFP to determine whether the claims presented are (1) frivolous or malicious; (2) fail to state a claim on which relief may be granted; or (3) seek monetary relief against a defendant who is immune from such relief.[1] See 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e)(2)(B). Plaintiff's Complaint sues his former employer, DBI Services ("DBI"), and his former supervisor and project manager, Will Schuller, as well as another unidentified assistant project manager. Plaintiff alleges that DBI is a nationwide company that contracts with state highway departments to do highway repairs, such as the repair of potholes and guardrails. According to Plaintiff, on his first day of employment with DBI, he was required to take a driving test. During the driving test, he discovered that DBI did not require its employees to maintain commercial drivers' licenses and that DBI's commercial vehicles had expired license plates. Plaintiff voiced these concerns to his supervisors and was ultimately terminated. Plaintiff believes he was terminated in retaliation for his report of the safety issues he observed during his driving test. Plaintiff indicates in his Complaint that he is unsure under which law his claims fall but that he believes his civil rights have been violated.
Plaintiff's current allegations do not give rise to a viable cause of action for retaliatory discharge under any federal or state law. For example, the Occupational Safety and Health Act ("OSHA") contains a provision protecting workers from retaliation for reporting various safety violations of an employer. 29 U.S.C. § 660(c). However, OSHA does not provide a private right of action; in other words, a private individual cannot sue for retaliatory discharge. Washington v. M. Hanna Const. Inc., 299 Fed. App'x 399, 401-02 (5th Cir. 2008). Rather, an aggrieved party must, within 30 days of the incident, contact the Secretary of Labor to complain of discriminatory, retaliatory, or harassing conduct. 29 U.S.C. § 660(c)(2) ("Any employee who believes that he has been discharged or otherwise discriminated against by any person in violation of this subsection may, within thirty days after such violation occurs, file a complaint with the Secretary alleging such discrimination"). If the Secretary finds that discrimination has occurred, then he shall bring an action in federal court. Id. ("If . . . the Secretary determines that the provisions of this subsection have been violated, he shall bring an action in any appropriate United States district court against such person").
Similarly, the Surface Transportation Assistance Act ("STAA") provides administrative remedies to whistleblowers who report violations of motor vehicle safety regulations and suffer discrimination or retaliation but does not create a private cause of action. 49 U.S.C. § 31105(b)(1) ("An employee alleging discharge, discipline, or discrimination in violation of [the Act] . . . may file a complaint with the Secretary of Labor not later than 180 days after the alleged violation occurred."); id. at § 31105(e) (conferring on the Secretary of Labor the right to bring a civil action to enforce an administrative order remedying any violation under the Act). Because no private right of action exists under either statute, Plaintiff cannot directly sue his former employer under OSHA or the STAA, even if he had complied with either statute's administrative procedures.
Nor do Plaintiff's allegations state a claim of discrimination or retaliation under Title VII. Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 protects employees from discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, sex or national origin and from retaliation due to reporting or opposing a violation of Title VII. 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e-2(a), 2000e-3(a); Mota v. Univ. of Tex. Houston Health Science Ctr., 261 F.3d 512, 519 (5th Cir. 2001). Title VII's protections do not extend to protect employees who report violations of safety laws, and Plaintiff has not alleged he was terminated due to any discrimination related to his race, color, religion, sex or national origin or for complaining about any such discrimination. See Washington v. M. Hanna Const. Inc., 299 Fed. App'x 399, 401 (5th Cir. 2008).
Additionally, Plaintiff notes in his Complaint that he suffers from Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder ("ADHD"), but this condition is not protected by Title VII. Federal law-more specifically, the Americans with Disabilities Act ("ADA")-does protect employees from discrimination based on their disabilities, and ADHD can qualify as a disability for purposes of an ADA claim. But nowhere in Plaintiff's Complaint does he allege that he believes he was terminated due to his ADHD diagnosis.
Finally, Plaintiff's allegations do not give rise to a cause of action under the Texas Whistleblower Act. This act protects employees of public employers in Texas by making governmental entities liable for damages if they discriminate against an employee who in good faith reports a violation of law to an appropriate law enforcement authority. See Tex. Gov't Code Ann. §§ 554.002-.003; City of Fort Worth v. Zimlich, 29 S.W.3d 62, 67 (Tex. 2000). Plaintiff does not allege he is a public employee, only that he works for a private company that contracts with the Texas Highway Department. Nor does Plaintiff allege that he reported any potential violations of the law to an appropriate law enforcement agent, only that he reported the safety issues to his supervisors.
Moreover, even if Plaintiff could state a claim under the Texas Whistleblower Act, or any other Texas law, this federal Court would not have jurisdiction to entertain this state-law claim without an accompanying federal cause of action. Federal courts may only hear lawsuits alleging violations of state law if the parties are citizens of different states. 28 U.S.C. § 1332. Because Plaintiff and Defendants are all citizens of Texas, this claim would have to be heard in state court.
Accordingly, the Court will order Plaintiff to show cause as to why it should not dismiss his Complaint for failure to state a claim under 28 U.S.C. § 1915(e) by ...

I was in Budapest just before Christmas last year and absolutely loved it. And in this wonderful city I found two of my favourite things: pizza and a good library!
The pizza was from Napfenyes Restaurant and Pizzeria, a big, underground restaurant that appears to do good takeaway trade. It has a few menu items stolen from its sister restaurant (reviewed here), but the main focus is on the extensive pizza menu.
I usually play it quite safe when it comes to pizza, sticking to mushrooms, garlic, and not much else. But this time, I was bold. I ordered the coal miner's pizza, which was essentially a 'meat' feast, featuring sausage, seitan and smoked tofu. It had so many good savoury, smoky flavours, I just loved it. The cheese was also one of the better vegan varieties I've had. This was definitely an unusual choice for me, but perhaps it will inspire me to be more adventurous with my pizza toppings in the future.
Dr HH went for the piquant pizza. It looks quite different from mine because it didn't have the same tomato sauce, it was more vegetable-based. One piece of chopped chilli from his pizza accidentally fell onto mine, and I thought there would be no harm in eating it. I was wrong. I couldn't breathe for about a minute, it was so hot. Dr HH, however, ate the whole thing calmly, so I suppose it depends on your tolerance. He really enjoyed the pizza, and described the cheese as unobtrusive, which is basically what he wants in a vegan cheese.
The restaurant also has a little dessert cabinet showcasing a few of the cakes from the main restaurant – while they looked dazzling and delicate, we were too full to partake on this occasion.
And on to the library: I'm a big fan of libraries, as you may have gathered from yesterday's post, and this one in Budapest was spectacular. The Ervin Szabo Library is housed in an old palace, so it's a pretty grand building, but the majority of the library itself is modern and unexceptional…except for these connected reading rooms, which are all incredibly grand and beautiful.
Or here – this was the only empty chair we saw!
Libraries are the best. It's only 500HUF to get in for a one-off visit, and definitely worth it. If you go early, you can curl up in a chair by a fireplace and get lost in a book (take your own though, it looked quite academic). Happy reading!

Ooh I would love to go to Budapest one day. That smokey pizza sounds right up my alley too!
The whole city was amazing, and I got to try the most exciting pizza toppings I've seen as a vegan! It's definitely recommended.
What a pretty sky and delicious looking pizza!
Both of those pizzas look unreal. The cheese looks great (and in my opinion, unobtrusive is definitely a good thing when it comes to most vegan cheese). I love the idea of smoked tofu on pizza, I'm going to try that when I get around to doing freezer pizzas. I'm a big fan of topping laden pizzas, I usually go for caramelized onion, roasted garlic, green pepper, mushroom, vegan pepperoni, and pineapple.
I usually like just one topping, but lots of it (absolutely covered in mushrooms, for example), but we don't usually see many mock meat options for pizzas. I had to seize on this one!
That is by far the fanciest library that I've ever seen! Funny to have it featured with such a "common" food like pizza, not some 8-course dinner or something like that lol I guess you might be able to get a 8 slices of pizza?
Ha, good point, I should have gone a bit fancier! I really liked how the library was full of "normal" people – just students in their everyday clothes, despite the grandeur of the setting. I would be tempted to start wearing a monocle and evening gloves or something ridiculous to try to fit in with the wonderful rooms!

We do not seek profit or fame. We simply love Zelda and wish to share its inspiration on all of us with all of you.


suddenly echo through the bus and the man in front of her groans.
"I don't want to take it off!"
"You will get too hot if you leave your hat on!"
"No I won't! I'm cold!"

"Daniel, take off your hat."
because fat Daniel's spit was just there.

For now, though, she should write a haiku.


QUICK JUMP: Contestants Pageant Information How to compete in Miss Staten Island Richmond County 2017?
The decline in the interest of joiners in the Miss Richmond Pageant over the past decade has urged current organizers to revamp the whole event.
Laura Vantiem-Ottenbacher earned her title as Miss Richmond in 2003. She continued to be involved with the pageant as a fan and as a part of its history. She became an event emcee before and now she will be spearheading the 2017 pageant event as the appointed chairperson.
Over the past years since Laura's reign, the organizers noticed the drop in contestants every year. From 12 competitors in 2003, numbers decreased up to 4 to 8 contestants interested in getting the Richmond crown. According to this year's chairperson, the lack of interest from teenage girls joining must be from a misconstruction of the pageant.
Seeing how the girls of Miss Richmond 2016 enjoyed their journey, Laura Vantiem-Ottenbacher is determined to bring more enthusiasm to the pageant. She plans to create more buzz to build up interest this year. The organizers released a survey to 40 high school girls to find out why they don't like to join the Miss Richmond pageant and what would make them participate this year as a form of promoting the event as well.
The survey resulted that 95% of the girls will more likely participate if scholarship money was involved. Vantiem-Ottenbacher presented this to the Good Old Days Committee to decide upon while they continue with their meetings with interested applicants on February 8 and 9. The sponsorship of the gowns, t-shirts & jackets of Miss Richmond and her court members are to remain in addition to the monetary perk.
Both Richmond queens, Laura Vantiem-Ottenbacher and Ashley Kuzatko, encourage girls to join and experience being Miss Richmond. This opportunity might just be one of the best decisions they will ever make in their lives.

A fabulous day at the Moat with a group of volunteers from Metro Bank. They did lots of maintenance jobs that we've been unable to do during the long wet winter. Thank goodness for volunteers! Thank you to Tom for organising the day.

Q: Tableau TabPy extension with a Python Anywhere account Does anybody had successfully configured Tableau Desktop to use PythonAnywhere as an external service where to execute python scripts with Tableau?
I am trying to follow this tutorial but it is about using a localhost server, so it looks different from using a cloud solution like PA and I don't know what to write in the External Services fields.

*What are the server name and the port?

*Need I to use an SSL connection?

Community & Environment What We Do Solar Car Challenge
Powering Local Education
Hundreds of students from local elementary, middle and high schools participate in the Solar Car Challenge. Held every spring, teams of students race customer built hybrid solar cars, testing their knowledge of renewable energy and engineering.
Out of concern for our community and in compliance to the Washington State Health Department guidelines regarding large gatherings the 2021 Solar Car Challenge will not be scheduled. We hope to return in 2022 with another exciting design and engineering challenge.
While we patiently wait for the much anticipated return of the Solar Car Challenge, take this time and turn it into "research and development." Several options are provided on the At Home Research and Development page to guide in purchasing an official race kit, or other solar car kits. A kit is not necessary for research and development, some of the best designers and engineers have used items found in their own homes. Take a look around… do you have popsicle sticks? Pipe cleaners? LEGO? What kind of vehicle can you build with recycled, upcycled and found items?
2020 Solar Car Challenge
About the Solar Car Challenge
Clark Public Utilities invests in education through events and partnerships with school districts across Clark County.
Annually, the utility hosts the Solar Car Challenge for elementary, middle and high school students. Every year, hundreds of students from local schools participate in months of engineering and design work, culminating in the construction of a working, custom-built hybrid solar and battery powered car. At the Solar Car Challenge, teams compete in an academic tournament, that includes evaluation of the student's design and engineering process, understanding of renewable energy principles and , of course, a day-long, multi-heat race of solar cars.
The program is funded by voluntary contributions to the utility's Green Lights program. For as little as $1 a month, customers of Clark Public Utilities can help support development of renewable energy and local educational opportunities.
Here's a look at the 2019 Solar Car Challenge.

The United States Lifesaving Service (USLSS) was created by the United States Government in 1872 in order to protect lives and shipping interests along the coast. In 1874, the first lifesaving stations were built along the North Carolina coast. These stations housed a staff that consisted of a keeper and crew of six, manning the stations during the active storm season from December to March. After the wrecks of the Huron, with 103 lives lost, and the Metropolis, with 85 lives lost, both off the Outer Banks, the Lifesaving Service added an additional eleven stations to the North Carolina coast. They also extended the station's season to September 1-May 1 and then from August 1-May 31. By the time the U.S. Lifesaving Service merged with the U.S. Revenue Cutter Service to form the U. S. Coast Guard in January 1915, North Carolina was home to 29 stations. Among these was the Pea Island Lifesaving Station, which housed the nation's only all black crew.
This collection contains wreck reports, payroll records, abstracts of disbursements, books, journals, leases, letters of application and recommendations, livestock forage bills, contracts, requisitions for repairs, telegrams, and correspondence of the United States Lifesaving Service. The majority of these papers relate to the stations along the North Carolina coast, however, there are wreck reports for selected stations in Virginia, South Carolina, and Florida.
This collection is divided into five series: Saved Ships, Lost Ships, Undesignated Outcome of Ships, Correspondence, and Payroll Records.
Processed by Outer Banks History Center Staff prior to 2001.
The foundation for the United States Lifesaving Service was laid as far back as 1785, when the Massachusetts Humane Society was founded, with the goal of saving human lives in peril from the sea. The society constructed small huts as "houses of refuge" to provide shelter for shipwrecked mariners along Massachusetts shore. In 1807, the Humane Society also launched the first lifeboat and established the first lifeboat station at Cohasset, Massachusetts. Soon, additional lifeboat stations began popping up along the Massachussetts coast. In 1848, the government allocated $10,000 for the purchase of surfboats and other lifesaving equipment, to be used along the New Jersey coast. Throughout the 1850s, the government continued to provided funds and more stations were set up along the New Jersey and New England coast lines.
These early stations all depended on volunteer crews, often poorly trained and undependable. Many of the stations fell into disrepair. Through the years, efforts were made to improve discipline and operations. Though some progress was made, it was obvious that direct government involvement was needed. It came in 1871, when Sumner I. Kimball was appointed Chief of the Treasury Department's Revenue Marine Division. Kimball was able to convince Congress to allot $200,000 to operate stations and employ full time crews. Kimball instituted a six man crew, built new stations, and drew up formal regulations with standards of performance.
North Carolina's first seven stations were built in 1874 at Jones Hill (later re-named Whaleshead, then Currituck Beach), Caffey's Inlet, Kitty Hawk, Nags Head, Bodie's Island, Chicamacomico, and Little Kinnakeet. These stations were only manned during the active season, December-March. The Lifesaving Service was not without its problems in these early years. The stations were spread too far apart and though many of the early surfmen went on to have distinguished careers, the stations also had their fair share of men not suited to the rigors of lifesaving. It would take several years to weed them all out.
It took two major maritime disasters off the coast of the Outer Banks before the Lifesaving Service would receive an overhaul. The first was the disaster of the Huron, which wrecked on November 24, 1877, a mere three miles from the Nags Head Lifesaving Station. Since the station's season hadn't started, it was closed and locked up. A total of 103 lives were lost in this disaster. The second was the wreck of the Metropolis on January 31, 1878. Though surfmen from the lifesaving stations responded, the distance between the stations, as well as errors made by the surfmen, resulted in the loss of 85 lives. As a result of these disasters, an act was passed by Congress on June 18, 1878, authorizing an additional 30 stations to be built around the country. Eleven of these stations were designated for the North Carolina. The active season was extended to September 1-May 1. It was later extended again to August 1-May 31. In hopes of attracting more qualified people, the keeper's salary was increased and they were given the power of inspectors of customs. Despite these early growing pains, the Lifesaving Service became an honored way of life on the Outer Banks, and it is an important part of the local heritage.
By the time the U. S. Lifesaving Service merged with the U. S. Revenue Cutter Service to form the U. S. Coast Guard in January 1915, North Carolina was home to a total of 29 stations. Among these stations was the Pea Island Lifesaving Station, which housed the nation's only all black crew.

These papers contain valuable information pertaining to activities and operations of the U. S. Lifesaving Service/U. S. Coast Guard, from 1892-1929. The wreck reports document shipwrecks and rescue efforts along the North Carolina coast, as well as Virginia and South Carolina coasts. Payroll records, bills, and leases document the administrative activities of the stations. This collection also has letters of application and recommendation for the position of keeper. There are also some wreck reports for several stations and houses of refuge in Florida. Material is processed and foldered as organized by the donor, David Stick, who used the material to write his book, Graveyard of the Atlantic.
The wreck reports were indexed and cross referenced in 2007 by Kelly R. Grimm. It searchable by the name of the ship, name of the attending station, date, or box and folder. It is divided into five categories: Wreck Reports for Ships, Boats, and Seaplanes; Assistance Rendered to Individuals; All Other Reports (i.e. extinguished fire, towed cars, animal rescues, etc.); Letters of Recommendation and Application: and Maintenance, Repairs, and Additions.
