Adam Christodoulou is set to return to Nurburgring this weekend to start his campaign in the Mercedes AMG GT3 and mark the start of his third year as an official Mercedes AMG driver.
The 2018 season will see Adam start in the VLN Endurance Championship (6-7th April), before attempting to repeat 2016's victory and make history as the first British driver to take 1st on the podium twice in the prestigious Nurburgring 24 hour (12-13th May) with Team Black Falcon.
"It's important to make a good start to the year and I'm excited to be back at the Nurburgring, it's been a long winter away, while we have been resting and preparing the track has been worked on to improve certain sections, so I'm looking forward to seeing what's changed.
'I've been lucky enough to have already competed in two major races this year, both the Daytona 24 hrs and Dubai 24hrs but I'm really looking forward to starting the European season and what a better place to begin than the Nurburgring which I think is the best track in the world.
With increased competition from manufacturers its expected there will be over 150 cars on the start line, with a minimum of 40 GT3 cars meaning total commitment to the track will be required at all times. Adam, however, is optimistic that with three years knowledge and experience behind the car and the circuit this is the team's best opportunity to fight for the podium.
Adam will be partenering up with his 2016 Nurbugring winning team mates Maro Engel (GER), Manuel Metzger (GER) plus new addition to the line up Dirk Muller (GER) in the team line up in their bid for the 24 hour title.
Adam Christodoulou, Britain's only Mercedes AMG GT factory racing driver, took on America's biggest sports car race, the intimidating Daytona 24 Hours and after a record-breaking lap distance was covered by the lead cars, he crossed the line in fourth place – a mere 2.7 seconds off the podium.
The 28-year old Brit was joined in the No. 33 Mercedes-AMG Team Riley Motorsports Mercedes-AMG GT3 by Jeroen Bleekemolen, Ben Keating and Luca Stolz. Taking it in turns to circulate the 5.73-km long Daytona International Speedway, the team lead the race through many of the difficult night-time hours.
With strategy key in such a tight competition battle, the team needed a safety car period, which would usually be common in an endurance race. However, luck didn't go their way this weekend and the team had to make one extra splash for fuel whilst fighting for the lead in the remaining 15 minutes of the race.
Of course, no one ever wants to wish for a safety car so, instead, Christodoulou prayed for some rain to spice things up and, from the look of the team's radar their luck could have changed.
With a good haul of points for the championship, the team was disappointed not to taste the Champagne but happy to start the season on the right foot. Although this was a one off event to join the team, Christodoulou was delighted to be able to support them in their championship bid.
Adam's 2018 plans will be announced in the coming weeks. Follow him on social media for all of the updates.
Adam Christodoulou will kick start his busy 2018 racing calendar at the 24H Dubai this weekend (January 12-13), teaming up with the German ProSPORT; he returns after a year away at the wheel with the team in the newly-acquired Mercedes-AMG GT3, which will wear the No. 85 and be entered in the A6-AM class. .
Christodoulou has a faultless record finishing on the podium three times in each of his last three starts at the event and charged from 98th on the grid to finish second in 2016.
The 28-year-old AMG driver, became the third Briton to win the Nurburgring 24 Hours in 2016 and last year finished second at the Daytona 24 Hours; Adam last raced for ProSPORT at Bathurst two years ago, but has continued to work with team boss Chris Esser as a driver coach and strategist, so was the natural choice to lead the team step up to the GT3 ranks for the first time.
"It's great to be back at Dubai and racing with ProSPORT, a team I've been lucky enough to work and race with since 2012 as a driver, strategist and driver coach," said Christodoulou.
"In our very first race we finished 3rd in the Nurburgring 24 hours, eventually going on to win the European GT4 teams' and drivers' championship in 2013, with multiple wins in the VLN championship and many other races over the years.
Christodoulou will be joined by 24H Series regulars Joe Foster, Charlie Putnam and Charles Espenlaub, the American trio making their third attempt at Dubai after two previous outings in the 991 class.
Christodoulou is optimistic the team can challenge for a podium finish in a competent A6-AM class featuring six other Mercedes-AMG GT3s, however, knows that caution will be just as great a virtue as outright speed if the team is to reach the finish on Saturday afternoon in one piece; 94 cars will start on the grid sharing the tight and twisting 5.39km Dubai Autodrome, including Porsche Cup, GT4, TCR and Clio Cup machinery.
"It's always tough at Dubai due to the amount of cars, this year there will be 26 GT3 cars and a huge entry list of 94 cars in total, so we are going straight in at the deep end for ProSPORT's first outing with the Mercedes-AMG GT3," he said.
Christodoulou, who will also contest the Daytona 24 Hours in January (27-28) will confirm his full 2018 programme with AMG in due course.
Adam Christodoulou has set his sights on victory in the GTD class, ahead of his return to the Daytona International Speedway for the highlight of the American endurance racing calendar, the Rolex 24 at Daytona (January 27-28).
Last year the AMG driver returned to Daytona where the car led 108 laps in the Mercedes-AMG GT3's US debut finishing third on the podium, just 5.6 seconds off the winner, so this year Adam is determined to put memories of the narrow defeat to bed in the first round of the 2018 IMSA Sportscar Championship.
Christodoulou returns to a largely unchanged Mercedes-AMG Team Riley Motorsports line-up alongside Ben Keating and Jeroen Bleekemolen, joined by Luca Stolz as the fourth driver; the Briton's team-mate in last season's Blancpain GT Series Endurance Cup.
"We had a great debut last year for the Mercedes-AMG GT3 and we had the possibility of winning the race going into the final hour, so I'm looking forward to pushing ustwo places better and win some nice shiny watches!
Preparations start with the Roar before the 24 this weekend as Christodoulou re-familiarises himself with the intricacies of the 5.73 km layout, part of which uses the famed Daytona banking.
The 28-year-old first raced at Daytona in the Grand-AM series in 2011, finishing sixth in a SpeedSource-prepared MazdaRX-8, and has since seen the event grow into one of the biggest in the world; with the likes of two-time Formula 1 champion Fernando Alonso, former F1 racer Paul di Restaand reigning European F3 champion Lando Norris all set to make their endurance racing debuts in the LMP2 class.

Wok, steamer, and specialty market not required.
In the introduction to her new cookbook, Vietnamese Food Any Day, Andrea Nguyen recalls the three-hour treks that her family would make to Los Angeles' Chinatown as recently arrived Vietnamese refugees in the 1970s to stock up on staples like fish sauce and lemongrass. Back then, writes the Santa Cruz-based cookbook author, shopping at the neighborhood Albertsons "meant certain compromises on ingredients" for the Vietnamese home cook. Fast-forward some 40 years, and the Asian food aisle at almost any big supermarket chain will stock decent-quality rice flour, coconut milk and fish sauce, and, yet, for many Americans, Vietnamese cooking still feels like some exotic, impenetrable endeavor. So Nguyen decided it was time to create something rare: a Vietnamese cookbook for the wide swath of America that doesn't have easy access to a specialized Asian grocery store—for the cook who hasn't yet felt the need to invest in a wok or a bamboo steamer. Due to be released by Ten Speed Press Feb. 5 (on Tet, or Vietnamese New Year), Vietnamese Food Any Day doesn't present a watered-down version of Vietnamese food, so much as it draws inspiration from the kind of hybridized cooking that crafty, adaptable Vietnamese-American cooks have been doing for decades: seafood stew spiked with homemade pomegranate molasses, instead of tamarind; pho made with smoked turkey thighs; and roasted cauliflower seasoned in the manner of Viet-style chicken wings.

Samsung just gave Yahoo! another chance to play fast and loose with millions of users' data
There are three billion reasons why Samsung allowing Yahoo! apps on your phone is a bad idea.
Jerry Hildenbrand
In a perfect world, allowing three billion user accounts to be hacked would mean a business is forced to shut down and its assets shared with the victims. In the real world, it means the people in charge of it are able to sell for huge amounts of cash and the new owners can force their way onto your brand new phone. That's exactly what just happened now that Samsung has decided that it needs even more money and is forcing Yahoo! down the throat of Verizon Galaxy S9 buyers. (The deal includes preloading these Oath-branded apps on Verizon-sold Galaxy phones, but it also allows Bixby and other Samsung services to use Oath services like Yahoo! News as sources.)
User data and digital advertising is big money. Sometimes big enough to stop caring for your customers.
In 2013, Yahoo! was hacked and one billion accounts were compromised. In 2014, the same thing happened and another 500 million accounts were affected. The company didn't bother to say anything until 2016. In 2017, they admitted that it was actually three billion accounts compromised — that's every single Yahoo! account that existed at the time.
That didn't seem to bother Verizon CEO Lowell McAdam, who said "we all live in an internet world, it's not a question of if you're going to get hacked but when you are going to get hacked," and proceeded to buy the company for $4.5 billion, changing the name to Oath in hopes that you wouldn't realize. Thankfully, Verizon's efforts to dismiss multiple lawsuits and federal investigations into the attacks were shot down and they get to be responsible for the thing they should have never bought.
Fast forward to the here and now, and we find out that Samsung has reached a deal with Verizon to force install four Yahoo! apps onto the Galaxy S9 as system apps in the hopes that you'll use them and feed more data into Yahoo's gaping maw. Reactions are what you would expect: nobody is happy (although the ever-present group that thinks Samsung can do no wrong is alive and well, as is the group that thinks Samsung is some sort of demon rather than a tech company) but nobody seems to care. At least nobody who should care seems to care. User response is also fairly anemic, with "you can disable them" being the usual response even though they are system-level apps that will have already started running before you can do anything about it.
I'll be frank — Samsung's style of software turns me off and I don't plan on using a Galaxy S9. I'm also not a Verizon customer. But I do hold both companies to a higher standard because of their position in mobile and because we have seen both do the right thing many times. Not this time, though. This time the two companies show that a small percentage of extra profit means much more than your privacy. And that, frankly, stinks.
Big companies are supposed to make big money but there should be limits on how.
Corporations aren't inherently bad. They exist as a way to create money for investors and owners the same way most of us work to collect a paycheck. Corporations are supposed to do things that make more money and should explore every opportunity in good faith. In turn, they should also value their customers and say no sometimes. When news of these breaches started to become public (and were grossly under-reported by Yahoo!), I said Verizon should bail on their plans to buy Yahoo! because it and its customers deserved better. It didn't. Now I'm saying Samsung should reconsider plopping Yahoo! Sports, Yahoo! Finance, Yahoo! Newsroom and Go90 on one of the best phones money can buy. It won't.
I can't believe that nobody at Samsung knows Yahoo's history, or that Verizon has to keep its tainted infrastructure in place so that Yahoo! can continue to operate. Since Samsung obviously knows that every single Yahoo! customer account was hacked and still wants to prominently place these apps on its flagship phone, I can't help but think it feels money is more important than your privacy.
If you just bought a Galaxy S9 and find it's littered with Yahoo! trash, or when your phone is updated and Yahoo! trash arrives along with, spend $2.49 to buy Package Disabler Pro and rid your phone of it as quickly as you can. If you're in the market for a new phone, keep this in mind before any company gets your money.
In fact, maybe consider buying into a platform where the developers have some control instead of one where phone makers can do as they please. I very much dislike using an iPhone, but am finding it difficult to recommend Android to users because of shenanigans like this.

CDOT completes states second Diverging Diamond Interchange
Louisville/Superior, Colo. — The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), High Performance Transportation Enterprise (HPTE), Plenary Roads Denver, Town of Superior, City of Louisville, and other project partners joined the US 36 Express Lanes Project team to officially open the state's second Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI) at the McCaslin Boulevard bridge over US 36.
Locally known as the "innovation corridor," the US 36 Express Lanes Project was built with the well-defined strategy of moving traffic more efficiently. One innovation to help meet this goal was the addition of the DDI on the McCaslin Boulevard bridge in Louisville/Superior. The DDI, which was not originally part of the Phase 2 scope, will be paid for by the City of Louisville, the Town of Superior and the Regional Transportation District (RTD), after a traffic study was conducted to learn more about the efficiency and effectiveness of a DDI and to consider other alternatives.
The DDI is one of 34 DDIs in the country but only the second in the state of Colorado. The state's first DDI in Grand Junction opened in early 2014. The DDI helps move traffic across the bridge more efficiently by crossing traffic to the opposite side of the road across the interchange so vehicles have unimpeded movement onto the highway ramps. In addition, DDIs increase left-turn capacity, accommodate more traffic with fewer lanes and reduce delays by using a two-phase signal as opposed to traditional traffic signals. The bridge, which began construction last year, will still have some construction over the next few months to finish sidewalks, landscaping and striping, but drivers can experience the benefits now.
"Opening the state's second DDI is truly a reason for celebration," said CDOT Executive Director Shailen Bhatt. "We know construction is frustrating for drivers, but now, anyone crossing US 36 between Louisville and Superior can do so quicker and safer. DDIs will be more prevalent in Colorado and, in fact, we have one opening later this year in Colorado Springs."
In addition to the new DDI, new bus ramps were built under the on- and off-ramps to US 36, allowing buses to quickly get on and off the highway without merging with general traffic, saving time for bus riders and improving the Flatiron Flyer BRT service, which began on Jan. 3, 2016.

In the context of energy transition, EDF has defined a strategy called CAP 2030, which drives the Group's ambition : to be the efficient and responsible electrician, champion of low carbon growth. This strategy focuses on three main areas: increasing proximity with our customers, doubling the production of renewable energies by 2030 and tripling the share of international business by 2030. As such, the EDF group through its International Division has decided to decline an off-grid strategy in Africa within the Africa, Middle East and Eastern Mediterranean Division. Through partnerships with innovative start-ups, the EDF Group aims to supply hundreds of thousands of African households. Since November 2016, its off-grid department has been marketing, maintaining and facilitating the payment of solar home systems in Africa (Ivory Coast and Ghana under the ZOLA brand) in partnership with the American start-up ZOLA Electric. In the solar home systems business line, the department is also in partnership with the English start-up BBOXX in Togo. Futhermore, since July 2018, the department is deploying an off-grid offer in Africa on agricultural solar pumps in partnership with a Kenyan start-up company SunCulture and studying several models of mini-grids. EDF is constantly ensuring that its kit offers are accessible to rural or peri-urban populations and to emerging middle classes.

M's notebook: Segura back at top of lineup
HOUSTON — It's no surprise, but shortstop Jean Segura will bat leadoff Monday for the Mariners in their season opener, manager Scott Servais effectively confirmed prior to Sunday's workout at Minute Maid Park.
Segura, 27, filled the role for the final four spring games as left fielder Jarrod Dyson worked to regain his timing after missing more than a week in late March because of a sore hamstring.
"As of right now, yes," Servais said. "I liked the look of it the last few days in camp. I think Segura is swinging the bat very well."
Segura batted .319 for the Arizona last season while leading the National League with 203 hits and 637 at-bats. He also set career highs with 41 doubles, 20 homers, 64 RBIs and in compiling a .368 on-base percentage and a .499 slugging percentage.
Servais also confirmed his entire lineup for Monday's opener against Houston left-hander Dallas Keuchel at 5:10 p.m. Pacific time. Again, no surprises:
Jean Segura, shortstop
Mitch Haniger, right field
Robinson Cano, second base
Nelson Cruz, designated hitter
Kyle Seager, third base
Danny Valencia, first base
Leonys Martin, center field
Mike Zunino, catcher
Jarrod Dyson, left field
"People say we're putting a lot on Mitch Haniger (batting second)," Servais said. "I think Mitch Haniger is ready to go be Mitch Haniger. He had a great spring, and we're going to, hopefully, continue on the same path. I like the top of the lineup.
"At the bottom, where the speed guys are right now, I think that's another interesting dynamic for us. We need all of those guys to contribute. We know what the middle of our lineup can do. They've been very consistent, and they've got a really track record.
"It's the pieces around them that are really going to make the difference."
Right-hander Felix Hernandez will make his ninth straight (and 10th overall) start on opening day. He is 6-1 with a 1.49 ERA in his previous nine starts in season openers.
That one loss came last year when he gave up one earned run and just one hit over six innings in a 3-2 loss at Texas.
Houston hedging
Astros manager A.J. Hinch hasn't yet announced his lineup for Monday's game at least in part because he hasn't determined whether veteran Carlos Beltran will start in left field or serve as the designated hitter.
Either way, the first five spots appear set: George Springer, right field; Alex Bregman, third base; Jose Altuve, second base; Carlos Correa, shortstop; and Beltran.
If Beltran is the DH, then ex-Mariner Nori Aoki will likely play left field. If Beltran plays left field, then Evan Gattis is expected to be the DH. Where each would fit in the lineup isn't certain.
The rest of the lineup will include Josh Reddick in right field, Brian McCann as the catcher, and Yulieski Gurriel at first base.
De Jong on deck
The Mariners plan to recall right-hander Chase De Jong from Triple-A Tacoma whenever lefty Dillon Overton departs on paternity leave.
Overton's wife, Morgan, is tentatively expected to give birth Tuesday to the couple's first child. He was not with the club for Sunday's workout at Minute Maid Park.
MLB rules permit a player to miss up to three games on paternity leave.
"These things are unpredictable," Servais said. "We're trying to make sure we have everything covered."
De Jong is already with the club and took part in Sunday's workout but has not yet been officially recalled.
The Mariners acquired De Jong in March 1 trade from the Los Angeles Dodgers for two minor-league players: shortstop Drew Jackson and right-handed pitcher Aneurys Zabala. De Jong was optioned March 17 to the Rainiers.
De Jong, 23, has only pitched one game in his career about Double-A; that was at the end of last season when he gave up one run in 5 1/3 innings for Oklahoma City (Dodgers) in an 8-1 victory at Omaha (Royals).
The Mariners announced their tentative 25-man roster Friday to allow those affected to begin making travel plans. The official deadline was 9 a.m. Sunday — and there were no changes.
Pitchers (13): Dan Altavilla, Edwin Diaz, Casey Fein, Yovani, Gallardo, Felix Hernandez, Hisashi Iwakuma, Ariel Miranda, Dillon Overton, James Paxton, James Pazos, Marc Rzepczynski, Evan Scribner and Nick Vincent.
Catchers (2): Carlos Ruiz and Mike Zunino.
Infielders (5): Robinson Cano, Taylor Motter, Kyle Seager, Jean Segura and Danny Valencia.
Outfielders (5): Nelson Cruz, Jarrod Dyson, Mitch Haniger, Guillermo Heredia and Leonys Martin.
The Mariners also officially placed placed six players on the 10-day disabled list retroactive to March 30 (the back-dating maximum of three days): utilityman Shawn O'Malley and pitchers Steve Cishek, Shae Simmons, Drew Smyly, Rob Whalen and Tony Zych.
It was 28 years ago Monday — April 3, 1989 — that Ken Griffey Jr. joined his father, Ken Griffey Sr., in becoming the first son-and-father combination to be active in the big leagues at the same time.
Junior was a rookie with the Mariners. Senior was in his 17th season and playing for the Cincinnati Reds.
The Mariners signed Senior on Aug. 29, 1990, which made the Griffeys the first father/son tandem to play for the same team at the same time.

On June 9, 2002, many of us at Kenyon experienced a great loss with the death of Tom Bigelow, a cherished colleague and friend for more than a decade. Diagnosed with cancer just a month before his death, he moved with astonishing speed, and even more astonishing bravery, toward his untimely end, which came quietly on a Sunday evening at the home of a friend. Tom was just forty-seven.
Tom began his career at the College in 1991 as publications director in the Office of Public Affairs. In that capacity, he also served as managing editor of the Bulletin, for which he wrote numerous articles over the years. In 1998, Tom accepted the managing editor's job at the Kenyon Review, the same position he held at the time of his death. Even after joining the Review's staff, he stayed involved in the Bulletin's operations as an active member of the Contributing Writers Group.
After the College's students return to campus in August, Tom's friends-fellow administrators, faculty and staff members, Kenyon Review student associates, writers of every stripe-will host a gathering in his memory. On September 6, at the College's Brown Family Environmental Center, we'll plant a tree that we can watch as it grows-a buckeye, in fitting tribute to a loyal son of Ohio and graduate of Ohio State University-and we'll tell stories about his obsessive neatness (which sometimes drove us up the nearest wall), his love of flea markets and softball, and his passion for good writing. And we'll all remember his unfailing kindness to all of us.
A memorial scholarship fund has been established at the Kenyon Review, which will offer a scholarship in Tom's name to a participant in its "Young Writers at Kenyon" summer program beginning next year.
Watch for a complete obituary in an upcoming issue of the Bulletin.
My older son Greg needed to take the test to get his learner's permit. So, on a recent Saturday we went to the license bureau--we and the rest of humanity.
Is there a more demoralizing place in the public realm? You wait on the plastic chairs with the pimpled, the pock-marked, and the paunch-laden. Skinny teenage girls holding infants. Gaunt bikers with ponytails and scraggly beards. Great-fleshed limbs in sweatpants. Flesh: creased beneath baseball caps, unshaven on gray cheeks, gaping free at the midriff, sagging from the arm . . . flesh by the swollen yard.
A guy with tattooed biceps is telling a guy with cowboy boots about a friend's younger brother. "You know, Andy? Randy? He killed a mailman. Went over a hill and just plowed into him." The radio promises "continuous country, all day." You wonder if you're the only one who's different, who feels vaguely scared, self-consciously delicate, out of place; and you sit there, trapped, waiting that slow wait for your number to come up.
It's enough to test your belief in the sacredness of the individual.
I suppose it's a sign of how fully I've always accepted this idea--the sacredness of the individual--that I've hardly ever thought about it. My parents taught it, fervently. Mrs. Azair, my fifth-grade teacher, who stood for everything smart and beautiful, taught it. Religion teaches it. And it's our civic religion, too, the premise underlying the country, isn't it?
But like so many premises, it lies buried until something disturbs the earth and there it is, visible, troubling. For me, the trouble came with the enormity of September 11.
Soon after the attack, the New York Times began publishing "Portraits of Grief," a full page or two--every day, at first--with short, unofficial profiles of the victims. The series instantly won a devout following, readers who visited those pages like pilgrims to a shrine made of words. During those wrenching, fragile weeks of the fall, the portraits of grief filled me with awe: at the remarkable ambition of the project, which was to remember every single person who died, the secretaries along with the stock brokers, the dishwashers along with the consultants; and at the anecdotal specificity of each brief piece, the way they shunned the bloodless formula of obituary for the living presence of voice and story--the real stuff, sour as well as sweet, of a life lived.
Even as I followed the fluctuating count of those who perished, I faced this daily assertion that each of those people counted. "News value" was not the issue here. All were significant, all worthy of witness.
And this assertion, rather than bringing solace, disturbed me on levels that multiplied and spread. I found myself questioning my capacity for true care. Did I really treat people, in my everyday life, as sacred individuals? In the car, at work, in stores, on the phone, didn't I see people more as bothersome obstacles in my busy day? Did I manage to dismiss them by categorizing--the gaunt biker, the teenage mom? Beyond my immediate circle, was everyone else merely "them?"
I would begin to read the "Portraits of Grief" and start shaking, unable to continue. In what way was I touched? Was I merely wallowing in sentimentality over "the tragedy," indulging in the luxury of emotion in safety and at a distance? And wasn't it a kind of luxury, in our pampered country, to have a newspaper lavish such poignant attention on this single day's tide of victims, in a world that washes up victims neverending? The landslide in Mexico, the plane crash in Russia, the killings in Indonesia or India or Israel, or in Afghanistan for that matter: Were those victims given, for the sake of their countrymen, let alone our sake, their own portraits of grief?
Or do they not matter as much? Is individualism a cultural construct, so that people in other societies don't feel the same intimate sense of loss that we do? And to what extent is this sense of loss bound up with the elaborate material trappings and possibilities for self-fulfillment in American life? Defining ourselves by our jobs, possessions, accomplishments, and experiences, do we assume that for poorer people life is actually cheaper? It seems a crass question, but I wonder about "sense of self" and "the value of each life"--our claim on these notions, our assumptions about how others may claim them.
Really, how far can grief extend? Is it possible for me to care about the filler-article victims in Indonesia as I care about the Portraits-of-Grief victims in New York, people with whom I can identify? But I never would have identified with the dish-washers, or the stock brokers for that matter, had it not been for those few paragraphs that transformed them from "stock brokers" and "dishwashers" into individuals who were, so many of them, creative and loving in surprising ways. They would have remained versions of "them."
I wonder, finally, whether we can ever expect to connect with people as individuals beyond those most close to us. We value individualism, but can we really, on a societal scale, treat people as individuals? It's hard enough in families, in friendships. Perhaps those deepest bonds can never translate into an "ism" at all.
We view the world through categories. We need to, I guess; they bolster us somehow. But they trap us as well. I wonder if I can look at other people free of category. I wonder if they, too, each of them, feels different, vaguely scared, delicate, self-conscious. Even as they sit waiting on those plastic chairs.
My son did get his learner's permit, and we left the license bureau with relief, emerging from that common-denominator of a room where everyone is thrown in together, denim and chino, dropout and prof, shoulder to shoulder, each one holding a slip with his number. So Greg has his very first photo ID, a laminated, wallet-sized card with a picture that makes him look--the way we all look on those cards--like a lowlife.
Now I'll have to teach him to drive.

One Piece reveals the mystery of the devil's fruits, their powers and the curse of the sea
December 18, 2022 by Nadine Lewis
Devil fruits, also called akuma no mi, are the reason why certain One Piece characters have special powers or abilities. If Luffy is a rubber man it is because when he was a child he ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi (Goma Goma Fruit). In return, all users of these fruits share the same Achilles heel: sea water. They cannot swim and lose all their strength upon contact with the ocean. Is about one of the great ironies of the series. The would-be King of the Pirates can't touch the water. One of the great ironies… and one of the great mysteries. Where do these fruits come from and what is their relationship with the sea? Well, to those two unknowns, One Piece chapter 1069 has responded.
In 2007, more than 15 years ago (15!), Eiichiro Oda was asked the following question about the One Piece Devil Fruits. At one point in the manga, Usopp says that no two people have the same power in the world. However, this does not make sense. If the Gomu Gomu no Mi and its powers were in the book of devil fruits before Luffy ate it, that means that he must have eaten at least the second copy of said fruit. Someone had to have it before for its characteristics to be registered.
A most perceptive question, as the mangaka admitted. "A very clever observation. But it doesn't mean there is something wrong. But let me clarify something, no one has the same power AT THE SAME TIME. In any case, for more details, you will have to wait for certain teacher make an appearance in the story to explain what exactly are devil fruits". Although in recent years we had seen several fruits reappear once the previous bearer of it died, we did not have many more answers. Or so it was until Vegapunk appeared…
The well-known marine scientist is the mysterious professor that Oda already had in mind 15 years ago (we talk here about him and his resemblance to Pain and Voldemort). It is Vegapunk who answers our question in chapter 1069, called "All things are born in this world because they are desired". The title says it all. According to Vegapunk, "devil fruits are the potential of human evolution that someone wished for. "I wish this were like this, I wish that was this way…". Some of people's wishes and dreams came true and took shape through the akuma no mi.
Vegapunk also confirms that Luffy's fruit is not the Gomu Gomu no Mi. As revealed in the Wano arc, his fruit is actually the Hito Hito (Persona Persona), and the wish behind it is to make people happy, to bring smiles and joy to everyone and free anyone who is subjected. "As long as people still have hope, will never completely go away".
However, what is the revenge of the sea? According to Vegapunk, these desires are unnatural and, pissed off by their mere existence, "Mother Nature hated their bearers and imposed on them a punishment because they were people who lived in a completely different world; a world that someone imagined". Like Archimedes with his "Eureka!", the scientist concludes the explanation by shouting "That's my theory!" and clears up a question that Goda already had in his head more than 15 years ago. The author has stepped on the accelerator and One Piece mysteries have started to fall one after another. Are you taking your idea seriously? finish the series in three years?

So, now what? Wrist slap? NAACP National Treasure award? What?
The House ethics panel has found that Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charles Rangel (D-N.Y.) broke ethics rules, according to the Associated Press.
The AP reported that Rangel knowingly accepted Caribbean trips in violation of House rules forbidding hidden financing by corporations.
Rangel said he had done nothing wrong and expected the report to show he was not guilty of anything.
The House ethics committee has found Ways and Means Committee Chairman Charlie Rangel violated ethics rules by accepting corporate-funded trips to the Caribbean, according to House sources.
Rangel told POLITICO Thursday night that he was being "admonished" by the committee on the grounds that at least two members of his staff knew about the corporate funding for the trips – and that Rangel himself should have known.
Reps. Carolyn Kilpatrick (D-Mich.), Donald Payne (D-N.J.), Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) and Del. Donna Christensen (D-V.I.) also participated in the trips, but a source told the Associated Press that they have been exonerated by the committee.
Rangel is still entangled in several other ethics messes.

i basically need to scrape the value inside action but while doing it in this way i do not get anything:
soup = BeautifulSoup(checkout.content,'lxml')
    step1 = soup.find('form')['action']
    print(step1)

instead of getting: https://www.shopdisney.it/carrello?dwcont=C2055615000 i keep getting https://www.shopdisney.it/search, how can i get it?
If i try to scrape it by finding 'action' i don't get anything, how could i do it?
soup = BeautifulSoup(checkout.content,'lxml')
    step1 = soup.find('action')
    print(step1)

The source of the HTML can be found in https://www.shopdisney.it/carrello , but before reaching it you need to add to cart one item and then you'll find a similiar url to the one that i'm looking to scrape.

Interview: Lily Rose Has a Lot to Celebrate These Days, and She Knows It
Tricia Despres Published: January 25, 2022
John Shearer
It's been a year since Lily Rose inked a record deal with Big Loud Records/Back Blocks Music/Republic Records, and the country music groundbreaker is still thanking her lucky stars.
Of course, it's not really luck — Rose rides on her talent, and it is taking her far.
"I had a lot of choices when it came to a record label, because I know they would've all been good," Rose tells Taste of Country, "But with Big Loud, I knew that they were going to take my authenticity and my appreciation of song integrity and hold it at the forefront of my career, which is really special."
You'll hear this authenticity on "Stronger Than I Am," the title track of the innovative project she released last year. Rose dropped a new live video for the song earlier this month.
"'Stronger Than I Am' stopped me in my tracks the day I first heard the demo from Big Loud," she says of the song, which was written by Griffen Palmer and Geoff Warburton, but that Rose brought to life vocally.
"I'm so lucky to tell the story of that song every night, and I look forward to that moment in our show every single set," she shares. The rising star was recently named one of CMT's Next Women of Country.
The song is really just another piece of the puzzle for a relative newcomer who's plotting her trail with every step — or leap, when you consider the viral success of her song "Villain," released in December of 2020.
Both songs pop up on Rose's fun live setlist. She's currently on the road as an opener on Chris Lane's Fill Them Boots Tour. "I've been a Chris fan since his 'Fix' days," the Georgia native explains of the opportunity. I'm so excited to be out there with him."
Having announced her engagement to girlfriend Daira Eamon last year, Rose says that she feels really comfortable being out on the road with the growing Lane family. "We love Chris and Lauren (Bushnell) as a couple," Rose says of their fellow country music couple. "We just adore them. They're the sweetest and baby Dutton is too cute to handle."
As for her own wedding plans? "I think we're going to be engaged for a little bit," Rose dished late last year. "We're in no rush at all, but we're hoping to plan a big old party. The two of us love to throw a party. So, we're going to try to throw the biggest one of our lives."
It will be a celebration on many levels, Rose admits.
"My family has been supportive of me my entire life and [Eamon's] family has never wavered on me," she says. "I mean, when I was working overnight jobs and making no money at all, trying to chase this dream down, they were there. It's kind of cool that they've all gotten to see the transition of my life, because this is what I've been working towards."

This sweet family session was a bit on the windy side. Atlanta's winter had been unseasonably warm but on this day the temperature dropped and brought along some wind. While the weather wasn't ideal, my subjects definitely were. The girls did great and we got a few shots with the adults too. Thanks so much to the N Family for toughing it out in the cold with me.

In 2006, and again in 2007, the U.S. Senate debated "comprehensive immigration reform" designed to curb illegal immigration by ramping up enforcement while providing expanded opportunities for legal immigration. Both bills would have legalized several million immigrants currently in the United States illegally and created a temporary visa program to allow more low-skilled workers to enter the country legally in future years.
One argument raised against expanded legal immigration has been that allowing more low-skilled foreign-born workers to enter the United States will swell the ranks of the underclass. The critics warn that by "importing poverty," immigration reform would bring in its wake rising rates of poverty, higher government welfare expenditures, and a rise in crime. The argument resonates with many Americans concerned about the expanding size of government and a perceived breakdown in social order.
As plausible as the argument sounds, it is not supported by the social and economic trends of the past 15 years. Even though the number of legal and illegal immigrants in the United States has risen strongly since the early 1990s, the size of the economic underclass has not. In fact, by several measures the number of Americans living on the bottom rungs of the economic ladder has been in a long-term decline, even as the number of immigrants continues to climb. Other indicators associated with the underclass, such as the crime rate, have also shown improvement. The inflow of low-skilled immigrants may even be playing a positive role in pushing native born Americans up the skills and income ladder.

Church Leaders Indicted For Alleged Labor Trafficking In San Diego, Other Cities
By Thomas Fudge / Science and Technology Reporter
Jose Luis Magana AP
The FBI seal is pictured in this photo from 2018.
The U.S. Attorney in San Diego has indicted 12 leaders of the Imperial Valley Ministries for allegedly holding dozens of homeless people against their will and forcing them to panhandle.
The U.S. Attorney in San Diego indicted 12 people Tuesday for allegedly holding dozens of homeless people against their will, forcing them to panhandle and to turn over all the money they collected.
The defendants are leaders from the Imperial Valley Ministries, including a former pastor. They were arrested Tuesday in San Diego, El Centro and Brownsville, Texas. They are charged with conspiracy, forced labor and benefits fraud.
U.S. Attorney Robert Brewer said it was the biggest labor trafficking case he has seen in many years. He said the people recruited were vulnerable and mostly homeless and were promised a warm bed and meals.
"Instead, these victims were held captive, stripped of their humble financial means, stripped of their identity, their freedom and their dignity," Brewer said.
He added the indictment accuses the defendants of holding victims in facilities located in El Centro, Calexico and Chula Vista.
"They locked them in group homes," he said. "They forced victims to beg for money, up to nine hours a day, six days a week and turn over all the money they received. They confiscated identification documents ... in order to prevent the victims from escaping. They stole the victims' welfare benefits."
Brewer said all of the defendants have been taken into custody. He said in fiscal year 2018 the Justice Department has convicted a record 526 defendants of human trafficking offenses. That included both labor and sex trafficking cases.

Many cyclists are afraid of tram rails, as i know from cyclists in Hamburg, where street cars are going to come in service again in some years, or elsewhere. But in Basel cyclists seem to be very familiar with trams and tram rails. Cycling very close to tram traffic and rails in narrow streets seems to be quite normal for cyclists in Basel. Many streets in in the old center of the swiss cyclists capital are shared by trams and cyclists. Basel seems to be a good example for togetherness of cycle traffic and tram traffic in the city. Hopefully Hamburg´s administration will not make up any problems for cyclists when new street cars will run in the city in future.

Behind Closed Doors - Mandarins & the APS
In a town like Canberra, the politicians may get much of the attention but it's the public servants and political staffers whose task it is to get the job done.
Just what goes on within the corridors of power? How do you disentangle politics from policy, let alone from personalities? And how do you sustain all of this while maintaining some semblance of a normal life?
Two people who know the answers to these questions better than most are former Secretary of the Department of Finance Jane Halton and author and former ministerial chief of staff Allan Behm (No, Minister).
Join Halton and Behm in conversation with Fairfax Media's Tom McIlroy for a free-ranging wander through the backrooms of our democracy.

In simple terms, economic mobility means that the next generation is better off than the parent generation. Community colleges support economic mobility and mitigate income inequality. While we know that a strong middle class is associated with better long-term regional economic growth, chronic under-investment across diverse communities aggravates legacies of oppression, stifles economic participation and erodes the middle class. Inequality frays the fabric of our democracy and the American Dream.
Silicon Valley is a powerful economic engine in California, which is the 5th largest economy in the world. The innovation which made Silicon Valley famous has not transferred to the social sector sufficiently to mitigate inequality. In time, the outcomes we will achieve in Silicon Valley to shrink inequality and grow the middle class will demonstrate effective practice for the nation. But, for now, the gap of income inequality has widened. The California Budget and Policy Center reports that greater income inequality is associated with greater difficulty for low income families to climb the economic ladder and greater equity gaps in educational outcomes.
The high cost of living in Silicon Valley triggers out-migration and hinders talent recruitment. Inequality challenges regional planning for transportation, housing and sustainability. Social justice advocates and corporate leaders alike seek to mitigate a perfect storm of disproportionate underemployment and unemployment in communities of color, inadequate educational attainment by the fastest growing populations, unsustainable resource demands, disproportionate incarceration, voter apathy and suppression, and a persistent myth that merit alone matters. Such a myth is aspirational, but it masks the reality that our history, systems and policies accrue benefit to some groups more than others.
Community colleges arguably represent the single most powerful and prevalent tool for social justice, equity and opportunity in the United States. Community colleges provide transformational opportunities for richly diverse students to earn their credentials and positively impact economic mobility. The scale of this opportunity is often surprising even to educators. Among students who completed a degree at a four-year college in 2015–2016, 49% had enrolled at a two-year college in the previous ten years. California Community Colleges serve over 20% of all community college students in the U.S.
In Silicon Valley, a competitive workforce is essential. The importance of community colleges to workforce development and economic mobility is increasingly understood and valued. The Community College Center for Economic Mobility serves at the nexus of economic mobility and workforce development as an expression of the San José Evergreen Community College District's (SJECCD) values of opportunity, equity, and social justice. Catalyzing economic mobility in our diverse communities is fundamental to the SJECCD colleges, which include Evergreen Valley College and San José City College. The Community College Center for Economic Mobility works to make the complex ecology of opportunity fit together like pieces of a puzzle. When all the pieces fit, we make real the promise of higher education for a better life, economy and democracy.
