Artificial Neurons: Repairing the Brain with Silicon
In this fascinating Nature Communications article, researchers describe the first ever machine that accurately mimics the behaviour of a neuron. The creation of an artificial neuron is no small feat. Electrical activity within neurons is controlled by chemical signals, meaning that the frequency and amplitude with which they fire is not linear, and depends on many variables. Researchers used data collected from real neurons to produce a model of how they responded to different stimuli. They then tested that model against the original neurons to confirm their responses were accurate.
"Until now neurons have been like black boxes, but we have managed to open the black box and peer inside," said project leader Alain Nogaret. "Our work is paradigm-changing because it provides a robust method to reproduce the electrical properties of real neurons in minute detail."

The average human begins to lose neurons at the age of 20, and will have lost 10% of their neurons by the age of 75. In dementia, the death of neurons in large numbers results in debilitating disease. Replacing these neurons with artificial replicas would theoretically allow us to restore function in the ageing brain.
We may have to wait quite some time before this sci-fi concept becomes a reality. The chips produced are approximately 0.1mm in diameter, while some neurons are half that size, and participate in highly complex networks of interaction that we may struggle to mimic. However, there may be more immediate applications. Researchers are already looking at using artificial neurons in pacemakers, allowing them to respond dynamically to electrical signals.
"For example we're developing smart pacemakers that won't just stimulate the heart to pump at a steady rate but use these neurons to respond in real time to demands placed on the heart – which is what happens naturally in a healthy heart. Other possible applications could be in the treatment of conditions like Alzheimer's and neuronal degenerative diseases more generally.

'Woody' Chicken Breasts Could Hurt The Industry
By Newsy Staff
"Woody" chicken breasts are described as being a bit tougher and chewier than other chicken breasts.
There's been a rapid increase in demand for chicken meat recently, and The Wall Street Journal reports that's causing a condition called "woody breasts" in chickens.
The outlet writes, "A growing share of broiler chickens — bred for meat, not to lay eggs — now can yield a pair of breast fillets that are heavier than an entire bird was a few decades ago."
"It's like a wooden board. Instead of being tender and juicy, it's hardened. ... When you process it or whatever, the meat is somewhat tougher than normal," senior technical veterinarian Don Waldrip told Poultry Health Today.
While the woody breasts aren't harmful to humans', they're supposedly harming some appetites. And the less appetizing consumers find the meat, the more it could hurt the chicken production industry.
A spokesperson for the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association told CBS that the industry is spending "more than a quarter of a million dollars" on "four separate research projects" to figure out the source of the problem.
Americans are projected to consume nearly 92 pounds of chicken per capita in 2016. That's more than double the amount consumed 40 years ago.

Official opening of the first biomethane injection unit in the Ouest region of France: promoting the region's energy transition with locally produced green gas
This project is run by the SAS Agribiométhane consortium of ten farmers from four different farms. It has also received support from many other stakeholders, including ADEME (the French Environment and Energy Management Agency) and the Vendée General Council.
The Mortagne-sur-Sèvre methanation unit was officially opened today by Gérard Mestrallet, Chairman & CEO of GDF SUEZ, and Damien Roy, Chairman of Agribiométhane, at a ceremony attended by Stéphane Le Foll, the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Forestry as spokesman for the French government, and Bruno Retailleau, Chairman of the General Council and Senator for the Vendée.
© Sébastien SALOM-GOMIS/Sipa Press
This unit will be the first of its kind in Western France and only the fourth in the country. It will process 21,000 metric tons of substrates representing more than 70% of the livestock effluent generated by the four farms, as well as 6,000 metric tons of food industry organic waste collected and supplied by SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT.
Green gas is the generic term applied to all gases produced from a renewable source. Biogas is a green gas released naturally when organic matter decomposes in an oxygen-free environment. After purification, this biogas becomes biomethane, and is odorized, checked and metered by GrDF before injection into natural gas supply systems.
Production is expected to reach 1 million m³ of raw biogas per year. 80% of the remaining product (digestate) will be spread on agricultural land as a fertilizer and conditioner. The first gas was injected into the mains system in April this year.
Contributing to the energy transition and meeting European renewable energy targets
At the start of this year, the European Commission set the target of a 27% contribution from renewable energy sources by 2030, with a parallel reduction of 40% in greenhouse gas emissions. The same ambition is shared in France as part of the national energy transition and the many regional plans launched to promote the use of clean, safe energy generated close to the point of consumption.
GDF SUEZ has set itself the target of making a 5% biomethane contribution - equivalent to 20 TWh - to mains gas supplies by 2020. Since 2010, its GrDF subsidiary has provided joint management of the injection working group alongside ADEME, makes an active contribution to developing this green energy source, and estimates that 73% of all the gas in the network will be green gas by 2050.
GDF SUEZ and its partner SUEZ ENVIRONNEMENT are particularly involved in developing this energy of the future, which offers many benefits:
Local generation of a continuous supply of renewable energy
Reduced greenhouse gas emissions
Replacement of chemical fertilizers with organic fertilizers

Why can't I select the cells containing the data to analysed?
Selecting cells can be tedious.
When you need to run a few statistical tests you have to select the same cells, again and again. When there are lots of cells to select you have to wait while Excel auto-scrolls the off-screen cells into view so you can select them.
Selecting cells can be error-prone.
It's easy to select the wrong cells, too many cells, or too few cells. You have to carefully select cells, otherwise the statistics calculated won't be valid.
Selecting a subset of the data often means re-organising and sorting the data.
Most Excel add-ins require the data be in a rectangular contiguous range of cells. You might have to filter then sort it, or maybe even re-arrange it manually, to bring data together into a selectable rectangular block of cells.
Adding or removing cases and observations isn't easy.
You have to run the statistical test again and re-select the cells again, now to include new data you've added, or exclude data you've removed.
Statistics software is supposed to simplify what's already a complex and error-prone subject area. Forcing you to select ranges of cells just seemed, to us, to introduce more potential for errors.
What are the benefits of the Analyse-it way?
Select variables by name, not by selecting cells.
Statistics and charts can then refer to variables by name, instead of cryptic meaning-less cell references. Which is clearer? "1-way ANOVA of Yield by Fertiliser", or "1-way ANOVA of Sheet1!$A$2:$A$350, Sheet1!$C$2:C$350"?
Add, remove, or correct observations or cases in the dataset, and then easily re-run the analysis.
The software should automatically recognise when data is added, removed, or changed. You should be able to update any statistics and charts to reflect the new data, without running the test and selecting data again.
Slice and dice the data, to filter and limit analysis to a subset of data.
Excel's built-in AutoFilter provides a quick and easy way to filter data, providing a simple way to analyse a subset of the dataset without you having to re-arrange data on the worksheet.
How does Analyse-it recognise the data for analysis?
These requirements mean Analyse-it has to know exactly how your data is arranged on an Excel worksheet -- which cells contain data for analysis, and which cells contains the variable names.
This is when the real problem with spreadsheets (or benefit, if you like) becomes apparent. Spreadsheets enforce no structure to the data you place in the cells. You can use cells on a worksheet how you like, arranging data anywhere on the sheet, horizontally or vertically, with or without labels for each row/column.
To keep things simple, we chose to support a few layouts commonly used to organise data in Excel. We call these "datasets" and all are immediately recognisable. Over time we've found most users tend to naturally organise their data in the way Analyse-it expects it – experienced Excel users more so. For more information datasets, and how to arrange your data for Analyse-it, see the online help.


The Yamaha P5000S is a rack-mountable stereo power amplifier for sound reinforcement applications offering 500 watts per channel at 8 ohms and a moderate weight for its size. The P5000S has been optimized for use with Yamaha's Club Series speakers and is equipped with a YS engagement switch, which activates proprietary circuitry that matches the output of the amplifier to the capability of the speakers; that being said, speakers from all other manufacturers are supported as well and the YS circuitry is defeatable.
Another exclusive feature of the P5000S is the EEEngine energy conservation design, which obtains the same full output that conventional amplifier designs offer, but with half the power consumption. This attribute, in conjunction with a full complement of thermal and limiting overload protection, allows for cooler, quieter operation and improved frequency response with minimized distortion. The P5000S has XLR and 1/4" balanced inputs and Neutrik Speakon, binding post and 1/4" speaker outputs for connection to almost any sound system.
The rear panel offers several filtering options, the YS activation switch, and a mode switch - the amplifier supports stereo, bridged, and parallel operation. There is a comprehensive group of bright, color-coded LED activity indicators, and the front panel channel attenuator knobs are thoughtfully recessed and protectively covered. Yamaha has built a lot of value into the P5000S and made it available to budget-conscious schools, club date musicians, and event facilities at a very reasonable price.

Amber Heard Denies Allegations She's Blackmailing Johnny Depp
Rachel C
BAKOUNINE / Shutterstock.com
Amber Heard is firing back against a recent article in The Wrap that alleges she's blackmailing Johnny Depp.
On May 29, The Wrap published a guest column by comedian Doug Stanhope that claims Heard manipulated Depp and fabricated her claims of domestic abuse. Stanhope, who is a friend of Depp's, says he and his wife were at Depp's home the day of the alleged assault. During their visit, Depp talked to them about his martial troubles. "He opened up in the most vulnerable of ways that it was not only his mother, but that Amber was now going to leave him, threatening to lie about him publicly in any and every possible duplicitous way if he didn't agree to her terms," Stanhope writes. "Blackmail is what I would imagine other people might put it, including the manner in which he is now being vilified."
Heard denies she's blackmailing her husband. According to Heard's lawyer Peter Sample, the "allegations against Ms. Heard are absolutely and unequivocally false," and argues that Stanhope's claim "has no basis in reality and is nothing but the typical celebrity muckraking for profit." The lawyer demands that Stanhope's article be retracted. "It is highly offensive and disturbing that you would choose to publish it in the first place," he stated. The Wrap is currently seeking legal counsel before making a formal response.
Heard requested a restraining order from Depp on May 27, citing domestic abuse. The court granted her the order that requires Depp to stay at least 100 yards away from Heard.
9 Signs Amber Heard & Johnny Depp Were Headed For Divorce
10 Things You Didn't Know About Amber Heard


Approximately 1,000 people live in the village of Gutu in Nepal, about 800 kilometers away from the capital city of Kathmandu. There is no public electricity supply. Until recently, everybody shifted for himself: open fires to cook on, smoke in the house, a huge stock of candles or the hum of the diesel generator at the local metal processing company were a part of everyday life. Find out why the village inhabitants have been able to leave all this behind them.
Up until now, daily life in Gutu, west Nepal was determined by the sun's natural cycle: it began at sunrise. As the sun rose higher in the sky, several small, makeshift solar collectors provided a small amount of rather unreliable electricity. This was generally only sufficient to charge smartphones; the hospital was supplied with power via its own PV system. Here and there, diesel generators produced their characteristic noise and odor. There was no standard household alternating current for electrical appliances, and inhabitants therefore cooked over the wood-fired hearths of their homes. In the evenings, the day then ended rather abruptly at sunset. At that time of day, everything immediately went dark, and without electric current, there was not a lot the villagers could do. Only candles or open flame provided a meager amount of light.
In March 2019, public life was completely transformed for the 1,000 inhabitants of Gutu. Since then, 275 households, a post office, businesses, schools, the hospital and administrative offices have been connected to a solar-powered micro grid. System operator Peak Power has set up a 100-kilowatt PV power plant which reliably supplies clean electricity to the location via more than 7 kilometers of overhead power lines. Every building is connected to smart counters which ensure sustainability and fair use in the community. People be in control of purchasing their own power. They buy energy in pre-aid way and reinvest the money from the energy back into the co-operative that operates the plant. In this way it remains a sustainable business.
The system can be controlled and monitored via the online portal SMA Sunny Portal using 3G Internet. Any excess solar energy is stored by a battery storage which can provide the energy as required even after sundown. Within a particularly short time, the solar micro grid has substantially improved the quality of life in Gutu.
The hospital, government office and bank are now in a position to reliably operate their IT and communication devices as well as in part vital AC devices. Finally, the school is now again able to utilize the computer room, which was put out of operation for years due to the unreliable electricity supply. Lights and heating can now be switched on wherever required. Farmers are profiting from electric grinding and husking machines and are able to process their harvest faster and more efficiently. The hotels are becoming more attractive for tourists due to their reliable lighting, hot water or cable TV.
Several full-time jobs have been created in the power plant itself. The employees, who received appropriate training, are responsible for plant maintenance and administration of the settlement system, amongst other things.
People are now able to cook using AC solar power instead of open fires – they use AC-coupled rice cookers without any soot and air pollution. The candles and diesel generators have mainly become redundant. The location is much quieter, and the air substantially clearer.
I enjoyed participating in the provision of a micro grid for Gutu and am excited to continue experiencing its positive effects on the quality of life for the people there.

Contracting the Commanders: Transition and the Political Economy of Afghanistan's Private Security Industry
Over the past decade the United States and the international community have funded an unprecedented private security industry in Afghanistan. As a result, this industry has become entangled with the Afghan political economy, as international spending has been implicated in funding informal armed groups and commanders. Considerable uncertainty remains as Afghanistan approaches the 2014 deadline for assuming national security responsibilities.

'Snowplowing': when parents try to clear all obstacles
By Ben ZimmerThe Wall Street Journal
Sat., March 30, 2019timer3 min. read
The college admissions cheating scheme that was uncovered earlier this month—in which wealthy parents are alleged to have paid bribes and used other trickery to get their children admitted to elite universities—has renewed a national conversation about just how far some parents are willing to go to make their children's lives easier.
While those implicated may have gone to a ridiculous extreme, they exemplify a style of raising children that has lately come to be known as "snowplow parenting," or "snowplowing" for short. As MarketWatch recently explained, this describes what happens when "the parents clear away obstacles to ensure that their children don't have to deal with frustrations or failures, so they've got a clear path ahead of them, similar to how a plow clears snow off the street."
Writing in Psychology Today, Peter Gray, a professor at Boston College, observed that such parents "do what they can to hide their snowplow efforts from their children, to spare them the humiliation of knowing that their 'success' did not come from their own merits." He added, "Their snowplowing is aimed not just at clearing paths and opening doors but also at inflating their children's egos."
"Snowplowing" is just the latest metaphor used to label overinvolved parenting, or "hyper-parenting" as it has sometimes been called. The first and still best-known of these is "helicopter parenting" (which, like "snowplowing," can be shortened to "helicoptering").
That term is already three decades old: In August 1989, an article from the Scripps Howard News Service quoted Dave Radovich, a sixth-grade teacher in Golden, Colo., warning against being a "'helicopter parent,' who hovers over children, making sure everything is done for them."
"Helicopter parents are always rescuing their kids," he said. "They're very well-intentioned, and it's done out of care and concern, but often when I see kids with problems, their parents are helicopter parents."
The expression was further popularized the following year by Foster Cline and Jim Fay in their book, Parenting with Love and Logic, and over the course of the 1990s variations appeared such as "helicopter moms" and "helicopter dads." In 2006, the author Harlan Cohen suggested a new analogy. Speaking to the Arizona Republic about how parents should handle their children going off to college, he noted that there were "lawnmower parents" who would go so far as calling residential assistants and college administrators to try to solve their children's problems with roommates.

The unstoppable love of the snowplow parent
Opinion | Helicopter parenting stunts kids' emotional growth, psychotherapist says
Paul McFedries, who tracks such neologisms for his website Wordspy, notes that a similar idea occurred to the Danish psychologist Bent Hougaard in his 2004 book Curlingföräldrar och Servicebarn (Curling Parents and Service Children). A "curling parent" tries to sweep away a child's obstacles just as a sweeper in the sport of curling clears a path for a curling stone. Along similar lines, with an even more heightened sense of intrusion, is "bulldozer parenting."
As for "snowplow parenting," it came on the scene in 2006, according to Michele Borba's The Big Book of Parenting Solutions. College health consultant Glenn Egelman used it that year in the journal Student Health Spectrum. Two years later, "snowplow parenting" reached a wider audience thanks to the book A Nation of Wimps: The High Cost of Invasive Parenting by Hara Estroff Marano, editor-at-large at Psychology Today.
As parenting columnist Barbara Meltz pointed out in reviewing Ms. Marano's book for the Boston Globe, the analogy implies greater potential peril: "A snowplow can rip up chunks of grass now and then, or dent a tree so badly it will eventually die." Snowplowing, therefore, is "risky business, shortsighted and selfish, even stupid." Risky business indeed, especially when it devolves into bribing and cheating just to get your child into a top school.

Q: Adding log file preventing `rails c` access on AWS I added a new log file for my delayed_job yesterday on my rails application and now I can't start the rails console when I ssh into my AWS instance.
The error shows up as:
Rails Error: Unable to access log file. Please ensure that /var/app/current/log/production.log exists and is writable (ie, make it writable for user and group: chmod 0664 /var/app/current/log/production.log). The log level has been raised to WARN and the output directed to STDERR until the problem is fixed.
/opt/rubies/ruby-2.2.5/lib/ruby/2.2.0/open-uri.rb:36:in `initialize': Permission denied @ rb_sysopen - /var/app/current/log/delayed_job.log (Errno::EACCES)

Which is weird because production.log has existed for a long time on my application and I've never seen this error before.
I tried doing sudo chmod 0664 /var/app/current/log/production.log and sudo chmod 0664 /var/app/current/log/delayed_job.log but it still brings up the same error.
My file permissions for both of these files are -rw-rw-r--. Do I need to make it writable by all users? I don't want to do that directly because I'm not sure if it's safe.

A: So I fixed the above issue by running:
sudo chmod 0777 /var/app/current/log/delayed_job.log
sudo chmod 0777 /var/app/current/log/production.log
I did end up providing read-write access to all users but I believe that was required because AWS wasn't able to gain access otherwise.

NDS Would Go Private Under News Corp. Plan
Rupert Murdoch's organization is majority shareholder of the conditional access supplier.
RadioWorld ⋅ Jul 2, 2008
Conditional access technology supplier NDS is in the financial news.
Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., which is now the company's majority shareholder, proposed at the end of June to take NDS Group Plc private in a transaction financed by private equity firm Permira.
The complex deal would leave News Corp. with a 49 percent stake, and Permira would own 51 percent of NDS, Reuters reported.
"The transaction has been fully negotiated between News Corp., Permira and NDS management," News Corp. stated. "Permira has completed its due diligence, and all of the third-party financing is in place." NDS said it appointed a committee of directors to review the deal.
NDS supplies digital technology and services to digital pay-TV platform operators and content providers. It has been on the radar of radio broadcasters as a supplier of conditional access systems for radio under which certain content and features could be locked by broadcasters, to be opened only by users who have permission.

My recent film The Diary of Preston Plummer stars Trevor Morgan, Rumer Willis and Robert Loggia. Director Sean Ackerman and I pinch ourselves to this day that these incredible actors were willing to star in our little film. We will be forever grateful. So I wanted to take some time here and talk about our experience casting them.
First, I think independent films have a very different atmosphere than studio films. Independent films really are an all-hands-on-deck scenario. And actors who sign on to an independent film typically know the resources are going to be limited. And they're walking into an unknown situation. At least with a studio film, they have the comfort of knowing the crew is experienced and they will likely have a decent pay day. Not so much on indie films. Anything can happen on an indie film.
As an independent filmmaker, I need to create a comfortable work environment for everyone, both physically and mentally. That's not always easy when you can't throw money around. But what makes my job easier is a cast and crew that understands the kind of project they have signed up for and really come together as a team and by the end become a family. Indie films have a sort of camp quality to them. And when camp is well organized and fun, then a good time is typically had by all.
My job is to help convince managers and agents that I have a quality project that they will feel comfortable presenting to their clients. Agents and managers tend to have a love/hate relationship with indie films. They love them for their meaty roles and hate them for their low pay. So the best thing I can do is come to them with a great script and great roles that they want to help cast with their clients.
The Diary of Preston Plummer was the first script I ever signed on to produce. This was over a decade ago. I was working as an assistant coordinator in NYC on feature films and the writer/director was a PA. He and I would drive an hour to and from work (Brooklyn to Yonkers) each day as we worked on a new Todd Solondz movie. By the end, we were like brother and sister and still are to this day. Nothing like road trips every day to create a bond - ha!
Cut to a decade later and many ups and downs on the project and a new resolve and a little cash to finally make this movie.
Sean and I began casting The Diary of Preston Plummer by researching every young actor in their early 20s. There are a ton of them! So we had our work cut out for us. We decided to have a casting call as well. Casting calls are amazing for being introduced to up-and-coming actors whom you may not have thought of or known about. And that's when we met Trevor Morgan for the first time.
I had known of Trevor's work and honestly wasn't sure if he would be interested in our tiny movie. He has been acting since he was a kid (remember the kid in Jurassic Park III? Yep that's Trevor. He even had a role in The Sixth Sense and The Patriot). He laughs knowing most people remember him from Jurassic Park III, when he has gone on to make such great indie films like Mean Creek and Off the Black.
When Sean and I first met Trevor Morgan, we thought wow, this guy is such an amazing actor. Sean and I knew Trevor would bring such a gravitas to the role of Preston Plummer - a very internal character. We knew we wanted him as our lead immediately, but would he want us?
I called Trevor's agent and asked if Trevor would meet with us one more time - at a bar this time. We sat down with Trevor and over a few beers, we poured out our vision for the film and by the end, Trevor was committed. We hugged and heaved a sigh of relief that our decade-long search for our Preston Plummer had finally come to an end. Trevor was perfect. He has both a sensitive and yet earthy way about him. The exact attributes needed for Preston.
Next up, casting Kate... The character of Kate is an enigma. She's beautiful and ethereal, yet has a deeply damaged soul. We knew the actor playing Kate would need to be able to portray someone with a lot of layers to their personality. I spoke to a few managers to get an idea of an actor who may be right and Rumer Willis came to the forefront.
Neither Sean nor I were all that familiar with Rumer's work. But what we did know seemed to mesh with our vision of Kate. So Sean had a skype session with Rumer and they hit it off. Rumer definitely "got" Kate and we jumped at the chance to work with her.
The great thing about Rumer is that she's so open for new adventures. And she's incredibly smart and supportive - a real team player. She gives of herself immensely both on and off screen. Often, she and Trevor were the glue that held everyone together. They helped make my job easier. I love them both dearly for that. Neither complained about the sacrifices we all made to get this film in the can. Trevor worked as a grip, even on his days off. Rumer and Trevor both cooked for the entire cast and crew. By the end, we were more than just a team. We were definitely family.
And the patriarch of it all? The one and only, the master Robert Loggia. Oh my God, I love Bob and his wife Audrey! These are two of the most generous, loving and kind people. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. When we submitted the script for Robert's consideration (which was Trevor's idea by the way - thank you Trevor), we didn't think we had a snowball's chance in hell of getting him for this film. We were the tiniest film with no money. Who did we think we were asking an Oscar-nominated actor to play a part in this movie?
Well, according to Audrey, they both read the script and Bob said, I have to do it. The character of John is very rich. And it appealed to Robert's soul as an actor. He wanted to take on this part. Not for a payday but for the opportunity to be John.
And honestly, I think that's how The Diary of Preston Plummer was for all of us. It's this little story, set on this beautiful, enigmatic island, with a group of characters we want to know more about. Writer/director Sean Ackerman wrote this script from his heart. You can tell. We all could tell and who doesn't want to be part of a story created from such heartfelt passion? And to top it off, the script was great. It was truly Sean's writing and vision that got us this cast.
Rumer was asked why she took on the part of Kate and her response: Sean's passion. She could see how much this story meant to Sean and she wanted to help make his passion come alive. We all did. Thanks Trevor, Rumer and Robert! You made The Diary of Preston Plummer truly come alive!
Our take away: Passion, hard work and the neverending commitment to quality goes a long way to realizing dreams.
If you want to see The Diary of Preston Plummer, you can watch it on iTunes here or Amazon here. It's also available on most other digital download sites and Video-on-Demand. Just check your local On Demand listings.

Tea Party freshman, Sandy Adams, squares off against 20 year incumbent in Florida primary
Aug. 9, 2012 10:00 am Aug. 9, 2012 10:01 am by Kemberlee Kaye
Meet Sandy Adams, one of the loud and proud Tea Party freshmen. And one that's perfectly capable of speaking for herself:
Rep. Adams was elected in 2010 in what the Democrats call the "Red Wave" and has an incredible and inspiring personal story. Due to the Florida redistricting fiasco, Rep. Adams was plopped in to a primary against twenty year incumbent and Chairman of the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, John Mica.
Rep. Mica who co-authored the bill that created everyone's favorite molestation agency, the TSA, is also known for his devout love of earmarks. Rep. Mica reportedly requested $4 billion in earmarks during his tenure, $13 million of which went to his daughter's client. But it gets better. Turn's out, Rep. Mica is also President Obama's "biggest cheerleader." His words. Take a look:
Rep. Adams who's garnered the endorsements of Governor Sarah Palin, Erick Erickson, Stephen Kruiser, Rep. Allen West, and the Tea Party Express explained the importance of winning this primary, "The people won back this seat and this voice. We can't afford a twenty year incumbent who's a career politician. He's become part of the system instead of being part of the solution. When that happens, the people lose."
Already prioritizing for her next term in office, Rep. Adams indicated getting our country back on track and returning to our Constitutional roots were her biggest concerns. She explained that the two are interconnected and that the current level of government involvement in the lives of Americans is unprecedented. Rep. Adams was particularly incensed with the Obama administration for allowing federal agencies to side-step the Constitution citing Health and Human Services as an example. "Never in our lifetime has government defined religion, until now," she said.
Despite her primary predicament, Rep. Sandy Adams is hopeful about the upcoming election:
I'm very hopeful that we'll get enough conservative Senators to flip control of the Senate. I'm hopeful we will take control away from Harry Reid and put someone in charge that's willing to work for the people, not block for the President. I'm hopeful that Mitt Romney will win this race and with him winning, with good conservatives in both the House and the Senate, we will be in a place to control our debt, our defiict and spending. The eighty-seven freshman sent to the House was the message the American people sent to Washington. Harry Reid totally ignored it and the President ignored it but the House had to listen because there were so many of us. Once we get good, conservative leadership, we can get government working for the people again instead of having the people work for the government.
Reiterating the seriousness of this race, Rep. Adams explained, "My interest is the people of Central Florida, that's who I fight for. This is not just about Central Florida, this is about where we go as a nation. If we keep allowing twenty year career politicians who've been there and been part of the problem by helping create this mess, then we're expecting something different while repeating our mistakes." Receiving national attention, this primary race is viewed by many as the quintessential Tea Party versus "Establishment" race. "This race is a fight for the heart and soul and direction of the Republican Party. Are we going to continue big spending and if so, what does that mean for us?" Adams posited.
Facing an incumbent with deep pockets and connections poses a challenge, but definitely not one that's insurmountable. This primary season, race, after race has showcased the power of grassroots and the ability of the individual to make a difference. The Florida primary is Tuesday, August 14. Anything you can pitch in helps. Whether it's donating $5 to Rep. Adams, telling your friends in Central Florida to get out and vote next Tuesday, or tweeting this link to spread the news, every little bit counts.


Apple has released MacOS Mojave 10.14.3 for Mac users running the latest operating system. The new release includes bug fixes and security enhancements and is therefore recommended to MacOS Mojave users.
Mac users running prior MacOS releases of High Sierra and Sierra will find security updates available in the Mac App Store as well, labeled as Security Update 2019-001 10.13.6 and Security Update 2019-001 10.12.6 respectively, along with an update to Safari.
Additionally, Apple has also released software updates for Apple Watch, Apple TV, HomePod, and iPhone and iPad. Users can download iOS 12.1.3 update for iPhone and iPad along with the watchOS and tvOS updates from the Settings apps on those devices.
Always backup a Mac before installing any system software update, backing up with Time Machine is easy. Remember that MacOS Mojave has changed how to install MacOS system software updates, moving the update functionality back to the System Preferences away from the App Store.
The entire update weighs in around 2GB. Installing system software updates requires the Mac to reboot to complete.
Mac users running High Sierra or Sierra will find the Security Update 2019-001 available from the Mac App Store Updates section.
The macOS mojave 10.14.3 update improves the security, stability, and compatibility of your Mac, and is recommended for all users.
For iPhone and iPad users, iOS 12.1.3 update is available now as well, along with updates to Apple Watch watchOS, Apple TV tvOS, and HomePod.
sry but i fail to see any value in this article. Aside from pointing at the update, that it's there and how you can install it, no other details about what this update is actually doing, and if it should be done or kept away, if it breaks anything (that would of been more helpful).
The very same thing could be said about your comment. Care to add anything of value or are you just here to complain?
Just updated – seems gmail authentication for Apple Mail, Accounts, and Spark email are all now broken. Can only access mail through browser.
There is a small difference…he is stating a fact…and you are just b**ching…wait, I am doing the same!
The Combo Update will not install on a system with 10.14.2 installed. The 10.14.3 Update installed just fine.
Downloaded the Combo Update and, yes, it will not install over 10.14.2.
Will try to download the mere 10.14.3 update, tomorrow.
So stupid Apple! Why?! Cannot update either..Do they want us to have issues . The Combo usually is to avoid that!!!
If you look at the 10.14.2 Combo Update it is 2.52 GB in size while the 10.14.3 CU is 2.49 GB in size. I suspect that is why the 10.14.3 CU will not work on 10.14.2 — you'd basically be adding code only to immediately rip it out, which is inefficient.
Other sites suggest there is a bug in the 10.14.3 combo distribution file where it fails to list all the builds of 10.14. Result is 'cannot install on this disk'. Annoying when you have dowloaded almost 2.5 Gb of combo update via a slow cell phone connection with a limited monthly data limit. Apparently the update via Sys prefs works ok, & you can even then install the combo update over that if you really want to.
The update really messed up iMessage. Take like 15seconds now fter opening to use.
No issue(s) with iMessage here. iMac 27 inch 2017.
My iMac became uber slow in booting up and not detecting my mouse (Logitech G903) upon reaching the desktop – after this update.
Come on Apple, sort this mess out!
I am in the process of installing Mojave on my MacPro 2013 again as it is not doing what I would like it to do.
In previous versions, I'll boot from an USB, format the internal hard drive with FileVault encryption, install and complete the setup with a user account. This allows me to have full disk encryption with one password and another password for the user account.
Unfortunately, in Mojave, I went through the same process but once installed, it would boot into my user account and not allowing me to enter my FileVault password. The system said that FileVault is on.
Can you let me know how I can full disk encrypt with one password and another for a user account?
I spent most of the day today trying (twice) to install 10.14.3 on top of High Sierra. Both times, 20 minutes from being completed, iMac went into an endless loop. Only recourse was to rebuild disk from Time Machine, an excruciating four-hour process. Guess I'll just stick with High Sierra. Mojave isn't worth the effort and heartbreak and gnashing of teeth! I can't believe Apple actually released this. I thought surely by .3, we'd have a smoothly operating system. Cook definitely did NOT earn his performance bonus this time around!

According to recent figures, six out of the ten worst areas in the country for fly-tipping are right here in the capital. As well as being an eyesore, illegally dumped rubbish poses hygiene risks and costs us taxpayers hundreds of thousands to clear up. So how did the situation get so bad, and what's being done to tackle the problem? We sent Louise Hulland to find out.
The authorities have reminded residents they could face prosecution if they do not double-check who is picking up their rubbish.
