SoftBank to test Japan ride-hailing service with China's DiDi Chuxing in autumn
by Kazuaki Nagata
SoftBank Corp. announced on Thursday that it will launch trial services for its taxi-hailing platform this fall by teaming up with Chinese mobility tech giant DiDi Chuxing.
SoftBank and DiDi set up a joint venture last month called DiDi Mobility Japan to run the platform, which the firms say will improve the efficiency and quality of cab services and eventually help the industry grow.
Japan already has several similar ride-hailing services, but the entry of DiDi — whose 550 million clients make it one of the largest in the world along with SoftBank — will raise the bar on the competition.
"We believe this joint venture will add tremendous value to the taxi community in Japan, leveraging the technology abilities of DiDi as well as SoftBank's strong presence and strong customer base in Japan," said Stephen Zhu, head of DiDi Mobility Japan.
The two firms said Japan's taxi industry faces a number of issues, including aging drivers and a cabbie shortage, as well as growing demand caused by a tourism boom.
This is apparently where technology can help. DiDi is focused on using artificial intelligence to improve efficiency and safety based on transport data collected by the service.
DiDi said it will provide a management console to taxi companies that helps them more easily monitor dispatches and provide driver evaluations made by customers to improve services.
Customers can install a hailing app on their smartphones that not only allows them to order cabs, but also allows them to pay via credit card. China's DiDi app will also be usable in Japan and provide customers the option of using Alipay or WeChat Pay for payment. This will help cover demand from Chinese tourists, who dominated Japan's tourism ranks last year, the firms said.
The trial is scheduled to start in Osaka this fall and expand to Kyoto, Fukuoka, Okinawa and Tokyo. It will only match customers with legally registered cab firms because individuals are banned from offering rides to strangers and charging fares.
DiDi Mobility Japan said it will follow the rules, but SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son expressed frustration the same day at a separate event, saying ride-sharing is an innovative service changing the world.
"Ride-sharing is illegal in Japan. I cannot believe there is still such a foolish country. What's worse, it's our own country, Japan," he said.
SoftBank Group has been investing in ride-hailing companies around the world. It invested $5.1 billion (about ¥560 billion) in DiDi through one of its funds last year and acquired a 15 percent stake in ride-hailing giant Uber in January.

Driving in Germany is different than in the USA, even though we drive on the same side of the road here and in the USA. I have been asked quite often about driving on the opposite side of the road here but that is in England and not Germany. Besides the obvious difference of signs being in German and not in English there are some other things that you will find if you are driving around in Germany and one of those things are the traffic mirrors. I have a photo here of one of these mirrors to show you want they are like. To get a better view of this you can click on the picture to enlarge it.
The traffic mirror is a handy thing that some smart person came up with to see around the corner in some of the tight streets here. There are some places where you cannot really see what cars might be coming your way but these mirrors are set up so that you can see the traffic on the street you are entering before you might meet them head on. In this picture you can see a mini-van that is on the street that intersects with the street in the picture. These mirrors are really helpful and I can think of a few places I have been in the states that would have benefited from having one of these!


You will become the eyes and ears of the kingdom, fighting the battles before the battles reach the people.
You are the Ranger's Apprentice.
If you're a fan of adventure and fantasy, then check out Ranger's Apprentice, the epic series of books written by John Flanagan, available now.
In the books you follow the young orphan Will as he learns the way of the Rangers, a mysterious force sworn to protect the Kingdom – and with the rise of evil forces they are needed more than ever!
Here we give you a sneak look at each of the books in the series – enjoy!
Will is small for his age, but agile and energetic. He has dreamed of becoming a great knight so he's devastated when he is rejected.
Instead he's apprenticed to Halt, the mysterious Ranger whose ability to move unseen is thought to be due to black magic.
Reluctantly, Will learns to use a Ranger's secret weapons: a bow and arrow, a mottled cloak and a stubborn little pony. And when Will and Halt set out on a desperate mission to prevent the assassination of the King, Will finds that a Ranger's weapons are not so useless after all . . .
Will and Horace accompany the Ranger Gilan on a mission to Celtica. But Celtica's villages and mines are silent.Only an exhausted and starving girl called Evanlyn can tell them why: Morgarath has sent his foul creatures to enslave the Celts.
While Gilan rides swiftly back to Araluen to report this news to the King, Will and Horace discover the true purpose behind Morgarath's actions.
The Kingdom is sure to be defeated in a surprise three-sided attack – unless they can find a way to prevent it.
Will and Evanlyn are bound for Skandia as the captives of the fearsome Skandian wolfship captain, Erak. Halt has sworn to rescue Will, and he will do anything to keep his promise – even defy his King.Halt and Horace set out through Gallica towards Skandia, facing endless obstacles along the way.
But will they be in time to rescue Will from a life of slavery?
Just as Will and Evanlyn can finally escape Skandia, Evanlyn is carried off by mysterious horsemen.Will pursues, but one boy against six fierce Temujai warriors is impossible odds – even for a Ranger's apprentice.
Halt and Horace arrive just in time. But there is no time to celebrate as Halt realises these Temujai are only the scouts for a massive invasion force.
The four Araluens must work together with the Skandians to defeat the invaders – if the Oberjarl will accept their help.
Five years have passed since the Skandians and the Araluans made their treaty, and Will has finally become a Ranger.
Then he and his old friend Alyss are thrown into a terrifying new adventure, investigating the truth behind rumours of sorcery in a remote northern fief.
As he stands in Grimsdell Forest, with the horrific, ghostly Night Warrior looming over him, Will must ask himself one question: is there a rational explanation… or does sorcery really exist?
In this desolate northern fief, where can Will find the fighting men he needs to overcome the traitorous Sir Keren and his band of criminals?
Across the border, the fierce Scotti tribesmen are waiting for the signal to mount a full-scale attack.
Time is running out. Will's courage and ingenuity – and the arrival of an old friend – may be the only things that stand in their way.
When the Skandian Oberjarl is taken hostage during a raid on the desert land of Arrida, his second-in-command, Svengal, asks the Araluans for help.
Halt and Will must go with him to deliver the ransom and secure Erak's freedom, but a royal presence is needed. The Princess Cassandra – or Evanlyn, as Will knows her – persuades her father to let her go with them.
But will violent sandstorms, warring tribes and danger at every turn keep them from reaching Erak in time?
Will is at the annual Ranger Gathering but Halt is investigating mysterious happenings in the west. When he does finally return, it's with bad news. Hibernia is in turmoil.
A false religious cult calling themselves the Outsiders are sowing confusion and sedition, and five of the six Hibernian kingdoms have been undermined. Now the sixth, Clonmel, is in danger.
Halt, Will and Horace set out to restore order. Can the secrets of Halt's past help them in their mission?
Halt, Horace and Will are on the trail of Tennyson and his followers.Will has defeated one of Tennyson's Genovesan assassins in Clonmel – but there are two left alive.
Are the extraordinary archery skills of Will and Halt enough to save them during a duel with the Genovesans . . . or is Will's mentor facing his last battle?
Horace has become embroiled in Nihon-Jan politics. The arrogant Senshi sect has rebelled against the rightful Emperor and Horace has chosen to stay and lend support to the deposed ruler.
Now he and Will must find men willing to face the highly trained Senshi warriors, while Alyss and Evanlyn must overcome their longstanding rivalry to seek aid from a mysterious group of mountain dwellers.

ACTING TOGETHER Councilmembers Peter Leroe-Muñoz, Fred Tovar, Cat Tucker and Chief of Police Scot Smithee heard an impassioned plea from members of PACT.
A grassroots group of more than 50 Gilroyans was told that the city police department hasn't and will not enforce federal immigration law Tuesday night at a meeting at South Valley Middle School.
Councilmembers Peter Leroe-Muñoz, Fred Tovar, Cat Tucker and Chief of Police Scot Smithee heard an impassioned plea from members of PACT, People Acting in Community Together, asking that they take action to protect undocumented workers.
PACT is a multicultural, multifaith organization that focuses on social justice and represents more than 50,000 people in Santa Clara County.
Leroe-Muñoz said the issue wasn't so much about making Gilroy a "sanctuary city," as it was about ensuring that all residents, documented or undocumented, are protected by police and the police are not enforcing federal laws.
They heard a moving plea from a middle school student who worried that his hard-working father would be deported and from community members who were afraid of the new immigration control office in Morgan Hill.
"I work with my father in the mornings and then he drops me off at school and I worry all day that he might be deported," said Edwin Lopez.
Many said they feared living here under the threat of deportation.
In Gilroy, Latinos comprise nearly percent of the population and it is estimated that more than 10% of the total population is undocumented, the organization told representatives.
The organization asked for assurance from the Gilroy Police Department and the city council to protect undocumented workers from being deported.

LOL don't get me wrong here, but for me, it takes LESS humanity to drink/feed/kill a freaking animal. Honestly. Most people nowadays seem to have more empathy for animals than for humans, anyway. That's just me, though.

@jess said in The Underlying Question...:
The idea of putting my cat down soon consistently brings me to tears. He's got cancer, and I know it's gonna have to happen soon. I think only sociopaths could kill animals so easily.
@Isaac The touchstones are just the tool you use to maintain your convictions. If they die and unable to transfer the conviction to a new touchstone, you lose that conviction. However you can never have less than 1 conviction which means less than 1 touchstone. We are discussing whether or not it will be roll until you get one hooked or we will just say it happens and you will have one. And there is a benefit to having more than 1 conviction. If you need to do a humanity check for breaking a chronicle tenet, but you got your stain from or while upholding your conviction, it reduces your difficulty to maintain your humanity. So if you have 1 conviction, it's less of a chance of being able to say that you were upholding it as opposed to having three. They are your armor to your humanity.

Humanity being a bit un-tethered from your convictions broadens out the ability to live in a way that is morally appropriate for your character. The problems with humanity 8 are mechanical, in terms of walking in the day and so forth. That isn't an aspect we wanted to bring in, which we think is fine and works well with the fact convictions now play a much greater role of personal prominence over the more generic humanity, which effects everyone.

you're right, one of the hallmarks of being a sociopath (I think it is sociopath, may be psychopath) is the killing of animals. Even if you subsist purely on rodents like rats, you have to kill A LOT- at least 12 rats, 3-4 cats) to slake only 1 hunger. It makes no sense to for it to be humanity 8 and be allowed to daywalk and have sex and whatever else it says. So yes, we decreased it to better fit our game.

@duh said in The Underlying Question...:
To be fair I didn't say I agree'd with the reason why the writers of V5 made this call.
Just that it is a rule in the book that had been changed. I wasn't stating my personal viewpoint on the matter of killing animals vs people.
@aarkon That's fair, bud! I was just responding to the ruling, myself, though LOL
Wow, this exploded.
First, I want to say that I was very apprehensive about posting in the first place, precisely because I was worried it would seem as smearing feces on so much hard work (to maintain the scatological focus, tho' never with John's eloquence!) by so many people. I know these aren't random GMs or STs or DMs or what-not, but people closely connected with the formation of the setting itself. And people who have done a helluva lot of work for what amounts to my fun.
Stef, I deeply apologize for causing you to feel unappreciated and distressed. My respect for you and the team is profound, both in Branton, Sang, and V5 in general and fuck it - in person, I'd imagine, should I get the chance some day!
I did indeed want to open a general conversation about some of the apprehensions of embarking on a darker version of an already dark game. And the response has been really reassuring and edifying.
I'm excited about the game. I have a lot of thoughts and plans concerning Hector's dark heart, his humanity and ways to engage it.
But yeah, I do like to hold out hope for just a bit of light in the dark. The book's not so reassuring. My trust in the storytellers is very much so. (to me at least).
(you may not have noticed, but I tend to make a bunch of parenthetical comments…)
Anyway, Stef, again I'm sorry for being the vehicle of distress. I can't imagine better partners and enablers in this story quest, and I'm greatly looking forward to it.

::group hugs our sometimes dysfunctional family:: one of the main reasons I stay and even when I have to take breaks due to rl stress, I always come back and what I do enjoy is the people and their characters and the game most importantly. The passion we all have for it. We all play a part in this place sometimes good, sometimes bad lol I love how different we all are and how that translates into the game. I admire not only the sts, but the players at how amazingly((is that even a proper word to put there? Screw it)) great writers some of you are. So yeah. No point really to this, carry on.
@Scarecrow just a tip… I myself am a humorous guy. I love comedy. You're talking to the guy that played a character whose major goal was to show male genitalia to polite society. The dude was a walking dick joke. Of course there is going to be some light-hearted stuff. But we need to hammer home the darker stuff and make sure it's played and paid attention to. The light-hearted stuff comes naturally. It's the difficult and dark stuff that needs coaching and to ensure it is played.
I will give an example of a past character. There was an issue that caused great damage to the city. I believe it was a Sabbat attack? I don't really recall it, but it was this player's reaction to it after the plot was over that stuck out. They put together a shelter for those displaced from the attack. That's light-hearted… until you learned he did it so he can have a herd to feed from. That's classic World of Darkness. But he had a party for a fundraiser and got other players involved in that, paid out boons and such. The party was your typical light-hearted high society affair. Until you realize there was blood dolls there. That's some pretty dark stuff too, conditioning people and pump them full of drugs and alcohol for the sole purpose of you getting that high or drunk into your system. It's all about the twist. The thing that takes the light-hearted and twists it to be selfish and dark.

@brain - That's what I meant with, when I said "we're all human".
I have to say I agree Brian. I finally allowed myself to dive into that way more with Persephone and even more with Stormy and it did open my eyes to some of what the dark part of the game is about, those horrors. I even cried about some of it, lol but I did it because Stormy the blood sucking murderous Vampire would have not blinked an eye.

Doc is a goodie-two-shows compared to this. Like he's got stuff to believe in and kind-enough goals.
/me goes back to the drawing board to make a more appropriately heartless character.

@cambion That's precisely my point. He's not worse enough for the setting.
The game hasn't started yet. We're all babies. There's tons of time for him to lose his soul.

I'm not the best player, I screw up a lot and make crazy mistakes. But sense I have been playing The ST's have help me understand and teach me. They have been patient with me and I love that. I'm not good around people and I find it that this game has gotten me a way to relax and escape. I really dont understand V5 but I'm looking forward to how the ST's re-create it for us all. There are some things I dont like about the new version. But I know from my time in this community that the ST's will help us all and make the Chronicle fun for us all. This will be new for every one and change can be good for all of us.

Music and the Performing Arts are a key element of our curriculum. Our music teachers have an excellent knowledge of music, child development, keyboard skills (and may play more instruments).
We have a music library that spans from Gregorian chant through Glass and Adams in classical music, and covers Gamelan, Samba, Tango, Mbira, Cab Calloway, Louis Armstrong and McCoy Tyner and a wide range of nursery rhymes. Our music teachers plan appropriate background music for a range of activities, or the focus in other parts of the nursery. They chose music for our babies that may help them relax and sleep or be energetic.
Music is associated with all areas of the Early Years Foundation Stage curriculum. The development of logical and mathematical understanding language and literacy especially are supported with exposure to music.
We use a range of approaches to musical education including Dalcroze (a mix of Solfa/Kodaly and Eurhythmics), but music lends itself extremely well to mathematics (rhythms, beats, speeds, durations), emotional awareness (major and minor keys, happy and sad music), and to creative expression.
Music is also central to storytelling. Operas, musicals and children's songs all have a dramatic narrative and provide a wealth for children to explore. Disney is wonderful for children. But so are Mozart, Rossini, Stravinsky and Wagner. There are amazing stories to be discovered, and children are just as receptive to The Magic Flute (Die Zauberflote) or Cinderella (La Cenerentola, Cendrillon) as they are to Disney's Cinderella or Snow White.
We also use performance to build self-confidence. Children are given opportunities to perform individually and in groups, in front of each other, other children in the nursery, and we have regular performances for parents. Sometimes we get the children to compose their own work. They write the words, they chose or write the music, they designed the sets and the costumes, of ownership The older children take ownership of their part of the work, they derive a sense of pride they from being able to perform something which they had created, rather than something that they were required to memorise.

Slaves were brought to Bonaire and worked tending crops and in the salt pans. Slaves lived in Rincon and walked to the salt pans in the south to work, and stayed there for the work week.

Weiner Word Salad
July 30, 2013 by Chump Lady
Anyone for another serving of Weiner word salad?
Sorry guys, I can't look away! I'm fascinated by the flamboyance of Anthony Weiner's narcissism. It's not just grandiose — it's baroque! He's soOooo colossally full of himself, judging even by skeevy politician standards. How does that scrawny little body support that humungous inflated head of his? (Insert obvious joke… we've seen quite enough of his "inflated head," thank you very much.)
From an interview with Mr. Weiner in TODAY'S New York Daily News:
Denis Hammill: There is no one you are sexting now?
Weiner: "You can quibble about beginnings, middles and ends but what we're talking about is over a year ago."
"Now" is quibbling? He can't confirm or deny if he's finished sexting strange women? Not even TODAY?
Notice, he qualified it with "what we're talking about" is over a year ago. Right. We're only talking about the stuff we KNOW about. And the stuff we know about was last winter (and last time I checked the calendar, January was not a year ago). But the stuff we DON'T know about? Like… um, now? Yeah, that'd be quibbling.
It gets better!
Q. The Daily News reported on Sunday that you spent campaign cash on hiring a private investigator and a lawyer to look into the hacking of your Twitter and email account when you knew there was no hacker. That it was you who'd sent the sexual tests. Care to respond?
A. It was after. I told the reporter it was wrong that I'd done it after.
Q. After what?
A. After I'd left Congress. After I had admitted I had sent the texts. We needed to hire lawyers. We needed to hire other professionals to gather up information. Remember the House speaker had initiated an Ethics Committee investigation. We needed to secure all our hard drives and everything else. So that story is wrong. Well, 85% of it was after I left Congress anyway.
Q. You didn't hire a private investigator to see who'd hacked your account?
A. No, the lawyers hired the investigator.
Yes, the problem was the Ethics Committee who necessitated hiring the lawyers who hired the investigator. You following that? If they hadn't started an investigation, why there would be no need to hire professionals!
The problem isn't what I did. The problem is how you responded. Is that mindfuck familiar to any of you, chumps? And how you responded compelled me to do MORE bad things.
Q. To see this woman (Sydney Leathers) you were sexting with get her 15 minutes in public must have hurt Huma, no?
A. Well, we look at less of that stuff than you might imagine. It's not as if we sit around leafing through the tabloids. But we don't have to. The level of venom directed at Huma has been so misdirected and unfair. Look if someone thinks I did something wrong, and a lot of people do, and I'm one of them, then I think it's perfectly reasonable to say I will never vote for that bum again. But to somehow make this something that Huma did is just not fair.
Really Anthony? Make this something Huma did? Isn't that EXACTLY what you did by implying your second round of cheating had to do with challenges in your marriage? Didn't you speak all about these recent troubles in the Royal "We"? And didn't you hide behind your Huma shield to field questions about your sexting problems?
Yeah, making this about Huma is really unfair. You should know.
Q. Is there yet another woman's shoe about to drop in this campaign?
A. I have no idea. These are people who I thought were friends, people I trusted when I communicated with them. But who knows what they might do now. But none of it is new. It's all old stuff. So I'll be in this race for at least the next 44 days. And I think I can win.
People I thought were FRIENDS?!!! People I TRUSTED???
No, you mean people you sent penis pictures to, you dickwad. This is victim language! Oh, poor Anthony. If another shoe drops, it's only because those people he thought were friends aren't friends any more. Traitors! You think you can trust people, ya know? I wonder how Huma feels about him describing his sext buddies as friends and trusted confidantes? Yeah, real remorse there.
I hope New York City hands you your ass, Weiner.
Oh, and speaking of asses, check out Ms. Leather's badonkadonk. I am going to resist making snarky comments about a 23-year-old woman's summer bikini readiness. Who am I to stand in judgment as a 46-year-old crone of squidginess? I do not rock the bikini look myself. (I did, however, one baby and 20 years ago — which is more than I can say for Ms. Leathers.)
I will only say that the hallucinatory power of kibbles must be great. Whatever she's smoking to make her think she's pinup material must be the same crack Anthony Weiner is smoking to make him think he's New York City mayor material.
Put the pipe down and retreat from the spotlight, you two! It's embarrassing!

Smart Ass Texan says
I must admit I am "hungry" for more Weiner Word Salad…. all since I have cut out carbs. Keep it coming !
Shiley says
Amen CL!!!…. listening to this guy is like listening to my ex… shudders :/
Poor girl I hope she runs…
GreenGirl says
I admit I'm a little fascinated by women (and men though I see more women) who get involved with famous/powerful people. Do they really find that actor/politician/rapper/other public figure attractive or are they interested in 15 min of fame?
Chumpalicious says
Power and money — the ultimate aphrodisiac. If that's the best Weiner can do, then he really doesn't have much of either.
BTW — Hollywood takes on the cause of Sex Addicts:
[hulu id=505594]
Gwenneth Paltrow as the chump? NOOOooOOOO — as if we don't have bad PR already. She's synonymous with stuck up, laughable self righteousness. People love to hate her. Goop! Why couldn't Pink be the chump? Why don't they cast some bad ass? Why do we get all 89 lbs of Gwenneth Paltrow?
Poor sex addicts. Forced into monogamy with Gwenneth.
ANR says
You and my wife are of one mind when it comes to Gwyneth. What does that mean (if anything)?
Yikes. I guess it can only mean that she is universally reviled by cheaters and chumps alike.
Nord says
Add me to the like-minded people on Goop. Cannot stand that sanctimonious twit.
anotherErica says
notice they don't start the story with whatever happened 5 years ago that sent him into these sex addict meetings in the first place. That would just be too depressing and we'd see what an evil piece of crap he is. I guess at least they do touch on it at some point with whatever he was doing on the computer (or was it phone?) late at night.
Ugh. In a way I guess it's good to see a hollywood perspective on romance that isn't just all "happily ever after" but the premise of sex addiction is the wimpiest way of tackling the subject (not sure I believe sex addiction even really exists, but what do I know?). It's the easy excuse for his cheating (he's an addict! he can't help it!) rather than show us cheating as a character flaw.
And it's kinda creepy (talking about the subway, video camera guy). So, I'll just stick to watching the happily ever after takes on romance. Rather than some movie that glorifies settling for a guy like this…
nwrain says
Oh, gawd. Really? A romantic comedy about sex addicts? This trailer makes it look like they're just quirky adorable people with impossibly expensive and hip NY apartments. And the Mark Ruffalo character is just going to go away for a while and get it straightened out so he can objectify Gwenyth's character in her ultra expensive lingerie and uber-expensive and impossible to achieve unless you have the money and time body.
Sick. They should be ashamed and have to actually see what it's like to live with someone who has an addition to porn and stranger hook-ups and what it does to one's self esteem to be their partner.
saving for later…..my seat didn't come with a barf bag
I guess Weiner comes quick. Poor Huma. I mean, really, what IS the point of keeping this guy? He can't keep it up long? REALLY? He's a pompous, lying, cheating windbag of dysfunction AND he's bad in bed? "Clingy" too?
nomar says
Weiner is the original Salad Shooter of cheater word salad and won't *stop* shooting his mouth off, it seems. "He slices! He dices! He evades your questions, evokes pity for his wife, and emits a never-ending series of excuses!"
Also, Ms. Leathers? Another disturbed person, IMO, though her youth might be a mitigating circumstance. But comparing her to Huma (crass perhaps, but unavoidable)? She's yet another exhibit in the case for the proposition that cheaters always "affair down."
Also, had to hoot at Weiner bemoaning how he was done wrong by people he "trusted." Just . . . gobsmacked by that.
Salad shooter. Tee hee!

Diana L. says
Weiner had to find someone foolish enough to accept a cyber affair after he quit Congres for the same behavior. And to believe you could fall in love that way.
Chump Princess says
Nomar,
That was exactly my thought about Ms. Leathers, but I didn't want to be unkind and judgmental, but really, why not? She was a willing participant in an illicit "relationship" with a lying, cheating, premature ejaculating windbag. You know how they have laws that state if you aid in the commission of a crime, even unwittingly, you're as guilty as the person who commits the crime and can be subject to the same penalties? I think this needs to be instituted in cases of infidelity. If the cheating spouse has to pay child support, spousal support, etc., so should the person with whom they cheated.
"Salad shooter of word salad…" Hilarious!
Oh! Oh! Here's a video from 2007, Anthony Weiner singing, "If I Only Had a Brain." I. Sh*t. You. Not.
OMG. "I could be a democratic Lincoln"? The 16th president is rolling in his grave.
He has a brain. It's in his pants.
Yoder says
You can't imagine sitting at the breakfast, lunch and dinner table, with CNN in his face and having to squirm through Weiner news. He doesn't DARE venture a comment. How would ANY man like being dumped in the same pool with scum like this?
McJJ says
Oh my daughter's recently revealed cheater (one week!) must be taking notes.
On day two (post D-day) she sent him a list of questions. Among them was when did the affair(s) begin/end. Simple question, right? And his response was:
Officially with the adultery?
I predict he will eventually get to: "Define affair." "Define begin" Define "end." Etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum. As if the procedural complexities that go along with discussing the matter might put a chump off caring that the person he or she trusted most in the world just stuck a rusty knife right between their shoulder blades.
Define knife. Define between. Define shoulder blades.
Just . . . . barf.
wren says
Define "is."
Define asshole. Now put your head in yours!
Red says
I wonder what kind of self-talk he gives himself. Maybe he could become a "How to Have Unshakable Confidence" coach once he loses the mayoral election…
Rally Squirrel says
Yeah, those simple post-affair questions either seem to stymie or offend the cheater. Mine was offended by such questions as "Are you still in contact with her?" and "Is there any chance she's pregnant with your child?" He said he felt attacked by the questions, and therefore didn't feel very much like answering them (poor little victim). Had to force himself to answer anyway, 'cuz he's that kind of stand-up guy. Gag.
Getting offended by my rational response to the truly offensive things he was doing in secret — is that classic projection? It's mindfuckery at the very least.
McJJ, your daughter's cheater must think that if he slices and dices definitions ("Hmm," he thinks," does she mean 'When did I start fucking this woman,' or 'When did I first start wanting to?'"), he might be able to shave months off the technical length of the affair. All so he won't look quite so douchey.
These idiots will look for any way to minimize what they did. They have this idea that it matters AT ALL to you that the affair was only 12 months instead of 14.
Am I the only chump here who didn't ask a lot of questions. The answers to those I did ask were so minimizing and dodgy I just lost my appetite for it.
No, I didn't ask a lot of questions — I just assumed the worst, and wasn't far off.
anudi says
What is the point in "asking questions", "inviting open discussions", "expecting remorseful sorry" et all, anyways? When you know: "they don't mean what they say". Observing their actions is still better than any dialogue, whatsoever!
I asked a few. The answers were verifiable lies to my face. Didn't ask any more.
No, but I haven't served my cheater yet.
Anyway, I have thought long and hard about the whole business of what I'd like to know about the affair. I think that I don't really need to know anything more than it occurred. The why it occurred will involve blame-shifting and gas-lighting. I really don't want to engage with him on that level. I'd rather write the narrative along the lines of the fact that I'm devastated, I realize that he loves her more than marriage to me, and I'm going to let him go. Please sign the following financial agreement and we can make this pretty cheap and easy.
Frankly, that's all I care about now. I want the share of his retirement, the dogs, and half the equity from the house in cash so I can buy my own modest place or fixer-upper. Also the title of the car I drive.
PattyToo says
This is what I tell x when he minimizes or acts like Jan was sooooooooo long ago, ancient history practically (that was when I caught him texting her – remember, YOU are the one that I love), I say to him there are two kinds of people, ones that can cheat and ones that can't. You are the former and I'm the latter. End of story, and marriage.
CL, definitely need a "like" button, a la Facebook…!
Margo says
I agree with you Wren. I'd be liking everything:)
Kristina L says
You are so Correct RS!
I relived this conversation every time he cheated, drank, cut himself, punched holes through the walls, etc. I am way too familiar with this convo than Id like to admit!!
SoOverHim says
Pathetic beyond comprehension … but some people will do anything for their brief blast of fame. It's a sick ejaculatory thrill.
If I'm not mistaken, Huma wore (had the gall to wear?) a dress very similar to Michelle Obama's during a recent appearance with her devoted-to-his-dick husband … Michelle wore that dress on a day when she and *her* devoted husband were photographed in a genuine loving embrace …
ANR — I didn't ask a lot of questions. There was no point; his answers were all lies and evasions. Dodgy is the word … skeezy is another.
When she told me her loaning hundreds of thousands to her fuckbuddy had nothing to do with their illici affair, and seemed sincere, I just figured she was so good at lying to herself she couldn't distinguish the truth from lies.
Chump Man says
Ya know, she's got NPD, but she's not stupid. They know they are lying. They know the difference. The problem is that they are "above" having to tell the truth. There's always multiple rule sets going on. Those rules that apply to everyone else, and the singular rule for them that simply states "I do what I want, when I want, how I want, and fuck everyone else". NO ONE is the boss of me. Me, myself, and I – the holy trio. I love me some me. What's yours is mine, and what's mine is mine.
They don't lie to themselves, and they are typically not stupid or blind. They just don't give a shit.
Can't … stop …. spackling
But …. Isn't the whole point of lying that people believe your lie? And this one was just so … unbelievable. Why tell a lie nobody could believe?
Yeah, I know man. It's hard to remove the rules of logic in these situations. "Why tell a lie that nobody could believe"… that would require thoughtful consideration, and most people would then stop themselves. It's just arrogance. It's like, yeah I'm lying, but whatever.
I'm one of those chumps that pressed for the truth, and just basically called her shit on every lie that came out. I asked questions I already knew the truth about. Probably a mistake, in hindsight. I should have just gathered up the evidence I had, hired a PI to get more and bottom some things out, and launched a broad-side legal offensive while her pants where literally "down". Instead, I offered a way out if she would just level up. Nah. I think I automated the application of spackle.
Chumpman, don't beat yourself up. When we are being emotionally strangled, it is impossible to to think about investments in the future. I remember being unable to think at all…I was numb to everything except feeling the pain. Hindsight is truly 20/20.
My foresight did not kick in until the anger took over. It was not until that point that I could begin to formulate a plan. And yes, I stupidly wanted him to come clean. I wanted to know the dirty deeds.
"Boy, what *is* it with you people? You think not getting caught in a lie is the same thing as telling the truth." Robert Redford in 3 Days of the Condor
My favorite old movie. They lie to spin their story and if nobody's there to call them on it, it eventually becomes "The Truth".
Great point. When a student in my pet snake's graduate class, he often spouted that, "is it a lie if you don't tell the truth, or is it a lie if you don't tell ALL of the truth." Should have known how his ticker tocked at that point.
The fact that each of us can relate to AW's buffoonery and that it rings true in our ears and minds with things we heard from our buffoons really makes it funny. It's all backwards, upside down, sideways and just plain cray cray.
I can't thank you enough CL for posting this comedic tragedy as every time you do, it makes me laugh and cry at the same time.
It surely helps put things in perspective. It would be so much fun to flog AW while being asked questions every time he gives a nonsensical reply. I would love to see what he sees when he looks in the mirror, that would be a fun SNL skit. It's astounding!
Ha! Thanks so much for the laughs and the tears.
SNL HAS to do this!
Weiner is so unbearably narcissistic, so arrogant and such a mind fucker it's beyond belief. He reminds me of my ex. Just looking at him makes me wish someone would punch him right in the face.
I totally get the punch him in his face, I would love to do that. But the arrogance part, I am not feeling from him, I find him kind of comical in his replies due to the obviousness of his bs, it's farcical.
P.F says
"Huma shield"….. every weiner needs a Huma shield.
Trojan Huma shield….press conference not included.
Weiner sure knows how to pick 'em. His Communications Director called an intern who quit and gave an interview to NYDaily News a 'slutbag' and other choice words:

Keeping it classy all the way to the end.
She also like isn't good at talking.
It's interesting that when she was caught her first reaction was but I thought it was off the record.
As of 6 AM NY time, his new slogan is "I Won't Quit".
I know his campaign manager quit but don't you think someone should have told him that the new slogan leaves too much to the imagination?
"I Won't Quit" what?
I wont quit sexting….so I am telling you all now so when it happens again I can tell you I said so?
I want to see him thrown out of the city; so embarrassing.
LOL. And his opponent willuse it!
I think what makes him fascinating (and appalling) is that he is running for office and he still can not to a decent apology. If ever you would want to take responsibility and show remorse, this is it. But he is incapable of it.
P.S. I am looking forward to a CL letter to Hera someday – maybe for the book?
Huma ?
Just wanted to say that the bikini picture resonates with one of OW's Facebook postings.
I have said it before, I think, that I am no t convinced that STBX has a personality disorder. Certainly he's behaving narcissistically, but all affairs are narcissistic. However, OW is a flaming NPD. She constantly has to tell people how men lust after her, how random men strike up conversations with her as a way of demonstrating their interest. She reminds me of a woman I knew about 10 years ago who went after only married men. She'd always talk about how Married Man X wanted her. She could just tell. She was pretty convinced that all married men wanted her, and she was okay with sleeping with them, too.
I know that I always distrusted men whom I termed "danger boys" back when I was younger and just starting to date. These were the guys who had a bit of the "bad boy" in them. They were spontaneous without thinking of consequences, skirted the rules, were willing to take the dare regardless, etc. In retrospect, I think I sensed that they sparkled, and this sparkle was just to attract women, so I tried to avoid them. STBX didn't sparkle in this way.
But there must be women who send out the sparklies: the bad girls, the ones who let you know that they are up for anything and consequences be damned. OW and Weiner's little side-piece both seem to send out those vibes.
Some guys must get the message, though. STBX was OW's supervisor. One of OW's male colleagues, a man in his late 20s, had just gone through a terrible divorce after his wife cheated on him and left him for a body builder. OW, soon after she was hired, made a pass at this guy, who promptly turned her down–setting up significant tension in the office. The male staffer knew of this woman's reputation, and as he told my STBX, "you need to be able to respect yourself in the morning."
"you need to be able to respect yourself in the morning."
Sending out those vibes-ha! The scent of trashiness. My x's across-the-street OW let him know all right. We were all part of a neighborhood summer party scene, so I watched her in action many times. For starters, nude paintings and posters all over her den that look just like her, constantly drunk (laughing and falling off the end of the deck!), inviting everyone to go in her den and 'smoke', putting her hand in my x's front pocket to search for her house key, and my favorite- grabbing her crotch and squeeling 'I really have to pee!'.
Yep, pretty sure cheaters know what all those signals mean! BTW, I'm not a prude, at all, but I like to have a LITTLE class.
Dodged Bullet says
Slogan for the Weiner campaign:
Just what we need…another dick head in government…
This Weiner guy is a PATHETIC LOSER! And, his wife is high on hopium and believing in unicorns while wearing rose colored glasses. She is seat-belted in on the Chump Wagon! Poor woman! Somebody get her a glass of common sense – quick!
ShellySho says
This has got to be the best thing I've read in months! I think we should stage a huma intervention. Weiner's a douche.
ww says
Any comments on Salon's (and Fleshbot's) Lux Alptraum on how she's 'Rooting for the "other woman"?' at http://www.salon.com/2013/08/07/why_im_team_leathers/
Lux's article has a point. I don't advocate "rooting" for Leathers, as a chump myself, that just feels icky, but read her closing paragraph:
"Weiner may feel the need to lie — to himself and the rest of us — about the truth of his impulses, and Abedin may feel the need to put on a brave face and attempt to prop up her both her marriage and her husband's career as they rapidly disintegrate before her eyes. But Leathers, at least, is happy to acknowledge all parties for exactly who they are — and happy to accept them, flaws and all. She's not perfect, but at least she's willing to be held accountable — a trait, I might add, that our politicians could use more of."
I liked the comment on there that said "Taking a dump outside is honest too, but it's still disgusting."
No one in that story is admirable, IMO. Weiner, because he's a narcissistic freak. Huma because she's a super chump. And Leathers because she's exploiting her 15 minutes of fame and feels zero remorse for being an OW.
How exactly is she being held accountable? She posted her story anonymously, was outed, and then decided to cash in on tabloid notoriety.
Thought it was a bit harsh on Huma (which is saying a lot coming from me). The author says Huma's "enabling" made Weiner a pathological liar. Puh-lease. He's a been a pathological liar since forever. Huma didn't make him a wing nut. She's the object of pity because she stays with him.
Diana L says
More proof that Weiner is truly a narcissist with no remorse at all!
Huma, save yourself!

Advanced Technology Improves Virtual Connection
Written by: Ben VanderWert, PHR, SHRM-CP
Connecting at Virtual College Career Fairs
This year has brought a lot of changes in the way we operate as a community. School days are spent at home for some, most work is virtual, and gatherings with your family and friends are distant. It's been hard. What we need to keep doing is remind ourselves that we are not alone. We are in this together and together we are learning to be flexible and adjust to what comes next.
As MCL's Talent Acquisition Manager, meeting and interacting with people is a huge part of my job and most of our talent is discovered by meeting college students at their campus career fairs. Much like schools going to virtual learning, career fairs have changed to virtual as well.
This year, MCL Construction participated in nine virtual career fairs. I have done virtual fairs in the past and they can be challenging. It takes out the in-person interaction and, really, the opportunity to read body language. However, I would never pass up the opportunity to meet with students passionate about his or her next career move. So, I took a little bit of my own advice that I mentioned earlier and tried to be flexible and adjust to what comes next.
MCL Smart Lab
MCL Construction opened its new headquarters in June 2020. More than an office space, the building incorporated state-of-the-art technology in nearly every meeting room. The office is equipped with smart labs with interactive screens, video conferencing in collaborative meeting spaces, and conference rooms with wide-lens cameras to virtually bring an entire group to any meeting. Having these resources made adjusting easier and allowed us to connect during a time where we feel disconnected from others.
During each virtual fair, students would sign up for time slots before the fair. Each student was slotted for about 10 minutes of conversation in MCL's virtual booth. At a traditional career fair, 10 minutes is typically enough time when there are a lot of employers and students jammed into some sort of hall or gymnasium. Since these conversations were just one on one, they felt like a more formal interview than a quick conversation. I found that 10 minutes was not even close to being long enough with most students interested in a career with MCL Construction. But again, we had to adjust. We were able to set up a lot of students with second video conversations and have hired several of them for our summer internship program. We also set up group presentations virtually using our training room's wide camera.
Going back to that crowded gym with a bunch of employers and students, it can be hard to gauge who is genuinely interested in your company or who just stopped by casually. In a virtual setting, students sought you out ahead of time and prepared to spend time one on one with members of our team. It was clear that students who signed up for our booth were seriously interested in their future in construction management.
There has certainly been a theme with everything going on. In order to be successful in what you are trying to accomplish these days, you need to be agile and adjust where you can. Also, remind yourself you can control what you can and adjust to what you can't. Thank you to everyone who made that adjustment with us and attended our virtual career fairs. We look forward to seeing some of you over the summer.
For many businesses, navigating the entire construction process and knowing who to trust can be overwhelming. At MCL Construction, our people simplify the process by listening, planning, executing, and continuing the relationship to build their vision
MCL Construction Wins Business Excellence Award
MCL Construction, a construction manager and general contractor in Omaha, Nebraska, has been selected as a 2017 Greater Omaha Business Excellence Award winner. There were over 100 nominations submitted to the Greater Omaha Chamber of Commerce and 24 have been chosen as Excellence Award Winners.
"I want to thank the Greater Omaha Chamber for this recognition," said MCL Construction President Bob Carlisle. "An award like this is shared not just with our employees but the owners we build for, the trade partners we build with, and the talented design teams on the projects we complete."
The official awards presentation ceremony will be May 9, 2017, at the Embassy Suites Conference Center in La Vista. Some of the most recognizable businesses in the Omaha metro will be recognized for innovation, leadership, and philanthropy. Companies will also be honored for milestone anniversaries.
"All our employees take an innovative approach to building in the 21st century," added MCL Construction Senior Vice President Tony Fucinaro. "It's vital that we build for the future to assure projects are constructed in the most efficient way possible."
MCL Construction is celebrating its 30th anniversary in 2017.
Creighton School of Dentistry Groundbreaking
Groundbreaking Ceremony
Creighton University officially breaks ground on a new 200,000-square-foot School of Dentistry to be located at 21st and Cuming Streets. The $84.5-million project is scheduled to be completed in July 2018. The new building will increase from 12,000 annually to 15,000 the number of patients served who come from all walks of life in the Omaha area, many of whom would otherwise not have access to regular dental care. The new Creighton School of Dentistry is being constructed by Omaha-based MCL Construction and is designed by RDG Planning and Design.
According to Mark Latta, DMD, MS, dean of Creighton's nationally recognized School of Dentistry, the new facility will accommodate a modest enrollment gain, offer more clinic space, and feature enhanced labs, classrooms, research space and offices. Most importantly, says Dr. Latta, it will expand Creighton's outreach to underserved patients.
"For more than a century, the Creighton University School of Dentistry has served a vital role in the community by supporting the oral health care needs of the region's citizens," says Dr. Latta. "Our mission compels us to expand the dental school and continue to graduate the best-prepared, practice-ready general dentists who will continue to serve thousands of children and adults in need."
In 2015, Creighton's School of Dentistry served more than 12,000 patients, including children. The dental school is also the state's largest provider of dental services to low-income populations. With that number increasing to 15,000 patients served annually, students and staff are projected to provide $91.4 million in discounted and unreimbursed dental services over the first ten years of the new facility being open—up from their current offerings valued at $6.7 million a year. Also, serving patients through community partners, the dental school's discounted and unreimbursed services will grow to $21.6 million—an increase from today's $1.3 million in services through the community partners.
"Service to patients across the spectrum coupled with a vision for innovation have long been at the heart of the curriculum in the Creighton School of Dentistry," said Creighton University President the Rev. Daniel Hendrickson, SJ. "In this new facility, faculty and students together will be able to expand those parallel missions, finding the best ways to compassionately care for all patients and making the latest treatments available."
The new facility will also house some of the latest technological enhancements in dentistry, allowing for high-level specialties to expand the range of care it provides to the community. The new Creighton University School of Dentistry will include:
Expanded pediatric services, providing a larger dental home to children who would not otherwise receive regular dental care
An Interdisciplinary Health Practitioner Office, uniting the School of Dentistry, School of Medicine, School of Pharmacy and Health Professions and College of Nursing, offering a wider range of services to patients
The Wilwerding-DiLorenzo Digital Technology Center, computer-aided design and manufacturing (CAD-CAM) center that will guide students through use of the latest dental technologies
The new facility is expected to deliver greater economic impact through 191 new jobs, amounting to $76 million in additional wages and salaries, and nearly $8 million in additional state and local taxes. With the new facility's offerings, it is estimated that the Creighton School of Dentistry will create a $200 million economic impact over a 10-year period.
"We are dedicated to educating the nation's premier dentists and providing comprehensive, compassionate oral healthcare to all of our patients," says Dr. Latta. "A larger, updated and technologically advanced facility will allow us to meet the growing demands of our dental program, our patient base, and the national population. As we look toward our vibrant future, we will continue our commitment to an outstanding clinical education experience rooted in Jesuit principals that underscore our care of those in need."
The Creighton University School of Dentistry opened in 1905 and moved to the Creighton campus in 1921 when it outgrew its space in the Edward Creighton Institute. The Boyne School of Dental Science, the school of Dentistry's current location, opened in 1973.

MCL Construction PILOT Program
Technology is changing construction at a rapid pace. To thrive in a 21st-century building environment, construction companies today must embrace technology to reduce costs and improve efficiency and quality on a project.
MCL Construction in Omaha, Nebraska, is at the forefront of innovation providing full-service, in-house Building Information Modeling (BIM) services and 3D high definition scanning services. Knowledge of these systems is not a privilege for a handful of computer techs. At MCL Construction, teams are trained through the company's cutting-edge PILOT program. PILOT is short for Promoting Innovation, Leadership Operations, and Technology.
PILOT Program Presentation
"We want to make sure our team of talented Project Managers and Project Superintendents have the tools they need to succeed," says MCL Construction Senior Vice President Tony Fucinaro. "Our PILOT program is important because it keeps us informed, and provides hands-on training to adapt to the changes in technology; we are shortening the learning curve."
Technology today is more than putting a three-dimensional model of the project on a flat screen in a meeting or a presentation. The data provided in these models and shared with project team members allows for real-time communication which leads to faster problem-solving and increased efficiency throughout the project.
"The 'I' in BIM is so important," says MCL Construction Director of BIM Operations Tim Tiensvold. "The information we obtain and what do with this data plays a significant role in preconstruction, construction, and close-out. We believe this information should be understood by all the members of a project team, not just a select few."
Technology is moving from the job site trailer to the field which is why our PILOT Program is so important. The information provided is utilized through software programs like Autodesk BIM 360 Glue and Field, as well as Bluebeam. This information can be accessed through mobile devices like smartphones and iPads and our on-site innovation stations.
"Technology is an investment in the future; the PILOT Program is an investment in our people. I know when we combine technology with the talent, we produce great results for our building partners," says Fucinaro.

Kelly Williams Brown, the blogger and author of the newly-released guidebook Adulting: How To Become a Grown-Up In 468 Easy(ish) Steps, along with her boyfriend and a male friend, recently penned a list of 10 things every man should know before he turns 21 for Esquire (eyeball it here). Here's my response for all the freshly post-collegiate ladies.
1. Drink apple cider vinegar. I'm serious: Every night I drink a glass of water with a splash of this in it (weird, but make sure it has "The Mother" in it — that's what makes it work) and it's made my skin better, my digestion better, and overall improved my life. Also, you can use it as a toner!
2. Clean your room for no "good reason." Sometimes, when no boy's coming over to smoosh, your room/apartment is too small to have parties, and/or you've been really busy, your living space suddenly becomes the Cave of Forgotten Dreams and No Toilet Paper. Yes, you might be single — but you should still pick up your dirty underwear occasionally, for Pete's sake. Just do it for me.
4. Read one classic novel a month. And not a modern classic. I'm talking a Henry James/Edith Wharton/Jane Austen jawn. I know it's way harder than whipping out that In Touch you stole from the doctor's office, but just think of it as flossing your brain.
5. Acquire the ability to go out to restaurants alone. You're a grown-a*s woman, and you don't need someone else to give you permission to eat something besides sad Ramen while huddled in your bed watching Top Chef.
6. If you're waiting for a dude to change, stop waiting. He won't.
7. On the flip: Don't go out with a guy just because you're afraid you won't be able to do better or you feel like you "should," only because he is interested in you. Life is too short to sit at a bar listening to a guy you give 0.00 craps about talk about his job at Citigroup.
8. Stick with one kind of drink every time you drink. All-beer, all-cocktails (preferably with the same liquor), or all-wine will severely lessen your awful hangover the following day. But if you do wake up with one, drink one or two full-fat Mexican Cokes. This is weird, but it works, I swear to God. Why? I don't know. I'm not a woman of science.
9. Stop with the through-the-pants jobs. Nobody besides your cousin Eric's Bar Mitzvah attendees and maybe Amish guys on Rumspringa wants them.
10. Don't worry about the future. Dear Lord, stop worrying. If there's one major thing I could tell myself at 21, it would be to calm the hell down. Everything will be fine. And if it's not, you'll always have apple cider vinegar.


In this Livewire Exclusive video, Vimal Gor, Head of Fixed Interest & Income at BT Investment Management, described Yellen's recent speech at Jackson Hole, "The Federal Reserve's monetary policy toolkit: Past, present, and future" as a 'damp squib', i.e.: a 'fizzer'. He says: "There have been lots of conversation about the long-term neutral rate of interest in the US and the current monetary policy settings, and what we got was not much information about anything in the end." Gor believes the Fed want to put rates up, but thinks one or two hikes in the next few years is more realistic.
