Time Warner Will Spin Off AOL On Dec. 9; 'AOL' Stock Symbol Returns
Staci D. Kramer Nov 16, 2009 - 7:44 PM CDT
Updated: One more piece of separation anxiety has been settled: on Dec. 9, Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) shareholders will get one share of common stock in AOL for every 11 shares they hold of the parent as of Nov. 27. The next day AOL starts trading again under the familiar symbol. The share dividend is tax free but shareholders will owe taxes on the cash raised by the sale of fractional shares on the open market. Release.
The SEC could still throw a wrench in the works but that seems unlikely at this point. AOL has a spin-off FAQ to answer some of the key shareholder questions but it can't answer the big questions: how will the market receive the one-time stock star now that's it's back as a troubled character actor? Will Time Warner see any lasting gain by shedding the internet unit or just less of a backache once the albatross is gone? And how many people will still be working for AOL this time next year? AOL said late last week that it plans to take up to a $200 million charge for restructuring in its first quarter; layoffs are expected to top 1,000.
Separately, Time Warner also declared its quarterly dividend, which was $0.1875 per share. The company's stock closed up at $32.35 before the news of the AOL spin-off was announced.


"Introduction to Restorative Yoga" by Charlotte Pregnolato.
"On one hand, it's not surprising that restorative yoga has gained in popularity over the last twenty years considering that aging baby boomers might well be looking for gentler, more therapeutic physical practices. What is interesting is how young people are increasingly attracted to this gentle practice. In fact, www.alignyo.com named restorative yoga one of the top trends of 2014.
Characteristically, restorative yoga poses take on the shape of traditional poses but with the aid of props and an emphasis on ease and comfort. Typically poses are held for 3-20 minutes while students may be led through meditation or breathing practices, or listen to soothing sounds–music, bells, or crystal bowls.
The practice restores the nervous system, helps the body heal after illness or injury and calms the mind in turmoil, but it is not just for healing or correcting our systems through times of noticeable stress or discomfort. When we relax our bodies, we enable all systems of the body to be restored to a natural state of homeostasis. All systems work together effectively and the flow of energy, called prana in yoga or chi in Chinese medicine, is regulated.
Perhaps the most important benefit of restorative yoga is that it significantly reduces stress levels in the body, known to be at the root of most serious and potentially fatal illnesses in modern times.
This benefit was confirmed in a comparison study published in the October 2013 issue of the American Journal of Managed Care. Researchers interested in delving into the benefits of restorative classes versus more traditional stretching compared the students' physical differences over a six-month period. The most significant finding showed those in restorative classes lost almost three times as much subcutaneous abdominal fat as the stretch class group. The researchers explained the difference was caused by the reduction in levels of cortisol, the chemical released during periods of stress that has been linked to fat storage, particularly in the abdominal region of the body. While most people don't come to restorative to slim, it would be a welcome side effect for most of us.
Five years ago, I could not have imagined devoting my teaching primarily to restorative types of yoga but, like many others, I am impressed by the power of the practice to heal, re-balance, transform and unify the body, mind, and spirit.
Restorative yoga is inclusive of everyone from those who are elderly or recuperating from illnesses or injuries to those more active who desire an antidote to the ongoing demands of their lives. While attending a class is ideal in terms of deep relaxation, I encourage my students to maintain their sense of well-being by practicing poses at home, as needed.
Below are three typical stress-related issues and poses that effectively address the issues and require a minimum of props. Hold each pose with eyes closed or covered from 3 to 15 minutes while keeping your attention focused on your breath. A warm, quiet, dark space will increase your ability to benefit.
Problem: Overall fatigue caused by travel, long periods of work, especially sitting or standing in one position, or lack of sleep.
Solution: Viparita Karani-legs up the wall pose.
Lying on the floor, hips no more than a hand-width away from the wall, put the legs up with heels resting on the wall hip width apart. This gentle inversion reverses the flow of prana and refreshes the legs, organs and the brain.
Solution: Balasana, child's pose, especially when held with the head on a comfortable support is effective in reducing feelings of being overwhelmed anxious or fearful. Hips ideally come to heels but if this is uncomfortable hips can be supported by towels or blankets. Arms rest on the floor with hands beside the feet. Forward bends cultivate a feeling of being protected and when the head is in contact with the floor or support, the mind releases tension. Imagine your exhales releasing unwanted feelings and thoughts into the earth.

A new generation of CXOs is rethinking how their organizations do business, says Lynda Gratton – broadening the scope for both business and social innovation.
Lynda Gratton has been studying the behavior of corporations for more than three decades. But what she has observed in the past few years has surprised even her. Under the influence of megatrends such as globalization, hyperconnectivity and worldwide financial instability, the professor of management practice at the London Business School has witnessed the erosion of rules-based organizational models and the rise of companies driven by principles.
"Certainly with corporations 30 years ago, it was all about the rules. What rules should an organization have, how should they work? But that's beginning to change with a new generation of CEOs who want to make a difference," says Gratton.
How that works in practice will certainly ring true for many CIOs at more progressive companies. Being led by a core set of social and business values has a direct effect on the way an organization is run, says Gratton. A senior manager at a principles-based company may be set the challenge of reducing their business unit's carbon footprint by 50%. That can seem worthy but nebulous until it's made clear that the agenda is being driven from the top of the organization and the manager's next annual bonus is tied to reaching the target. At that point, good intentions tend to turn into action.
Ultimately, that means being principles-based can require a major realignment of the way you do business and get work done, she highlights. For example, a commitment to cut the carbon footprint of a company might involve programs to reduce journeys to the office and encourage more home working, the sanctioning of fewer international meetings and the support of more online collaboration. "It comes down to the level of asking, 'Do we have to redesign work, do we have to redesign our offices?'" says Gratton, who is also founder of the Hot Spots Movement, a research and consulting team based in London's stately Somerset House that helps organizations derive business value from academic insights.
The focus on principles is not wholly altruistic, of course — it is driven, in many cases, by the need to attract the raw talent that fuels corporate innovation. Gratton argues that many young professionals increasingly expect the companies they join to demonstrate sound credentials for business and social responsibility.
• Lynda Gratton's The Key: How Corporations Succeed by Solving the World's Toughest Problems is out now.
Professor of management practice at London Business School, head of the Future of Work Research Consortium and best-selling business author, Lynda Gratton focuses on people-centric strategies for transforming companies.

Home Uncategorized Cratejoy.com Review
Rating:	4.5 / 5
Since the rise in popularity of monthly subscription services like Loot Crate and Dollar Shaving Club, consumers seem eager for curated products delivered straight to their door. However, the biggest flaw with these services is the fact that they only cater to a slim margin of the population's interests. They can also feel a bit impersonal — everyone gets the same box, chosen by the same people each month.
However, with the advent of Cratejoy, users can have a much more personalized experience with both buying and selling subscription-based boxes. So, what makes Cratejoy different than other subscription-based services? Let us find out!
What Is Cratejoy.com?
Cratejoy is a subscription box service that uses enthusiasts and professionals to organize monthly boxes of hand-selected products. Instead of everyone receiving the same, homogenized box, Cratejoy offers a wide selection of categories for users to choose from when looking for a subscription.
By using this method of organization, Cratejoy caters to a far broader demographic than other subscription services.
Click here to visit CrateJoy.com
In addition to subscribing to monthly boxes, Cratejoy users who are interested in creating and selling boxes can also sign up for Cratejoy. As long as you have the proper resources and website, anyone can offer subscription boxes on Cratejoy.
How Does Cratejoy.com Work?
The concept of Cratejoy.com is pretty simple. Browse the wide selection of categories and choose a subscription that is right for you. Fill out the billing information and then receive a monthly box from whoever you subscribe from the site.
If you like what you get, the individual will continue to send you boxes each month. If you do not want it, you can cancel this subscription at any time.
What Types of Subscriptions Does Cratejoy.com Offer?
Cratejoy.com offers twelve different categories to choose from when ordering subscription boxes. Each of these categories has a further subsection with a variety of additional selections. They include:
Beauty and Fashion — This category offers mostly spa and cosmetic products. The subsections include nail polish and nail art, bath and soap, organic and natural beauty, makeup, and skincare products.
Books — Personally selected titles from literary experts and writers that offer books, coffee and writing exercises. The subsections include young adult books, adult coloring books, mystery, thriller and horror, fantasy and sci-fi books, children's books and romance novels.
Women — Lots of self-care kits and different clothing options for women in this category. The subsections include maternity and pregnancy, period and time of the month, lingerie, women's clothing, shoes, jewelry and accessories, and bridal and brides products.
Men — This category contains everything from clothing options to mixologist kits. The subsections include socks, men's clothing, men's accessories, and shaving and grooming products.
Food and Beverage — This category includes everything from snacks to full-on meals. The subsections include coffee, chocolate, candy, vegan, paleo, tea, beer and wine, snacks, cooking and baking, desserts and cookies, cocktail and alcohol, international and foreign food, gourmet food, spices and sauces, gluten-free and meal delivery options.
Geek and Gaming — If you are a fan of history, technology or comic books, then there is something in this category for you. The subsections include anime, kawaii, and manga, comic books and graphic novels, board games, nerd and fandom, and video games and gaming products.
Fitness and Outdoors — Different products that cater to a wide range of health and fitness goals. The subsections include sports, outdoors, protein and nutrition, survival and tactical gear, weight loss, supplements, and vitamins.

Novelty — The miscellaneous category — everything that does not fit into the other groups. The only subsection, adult, contains everything tech assembly kits to sex toys.
Can I Sell Subscription Boxes on Cratejoy.com?
Yes, anyone can sell subscription boxes on Cratejoy. However, you must create or upload a website onto the Cratejoy marketplace and pay a monthly cost of $39.00 to sell anything. Luckily, Cratejoy has a lot of educational resources for helping businesses and individuals interested in getting started.
Cratejoy also offers its website builder for intuitive design so you can feature your products in all of their glory. The company claims that regardless of how small you are, the website contains everything you need to manage and scale your business correctly.
What Is Wrong with Cratejoy.com?
Cratejoy's strength, the fact that anyone can sell on the website, is also its biggest weakness. While most of these subscription services are genuine, since anyone can sell on the site, Cratejoy often has trouble keeping tabs on the sellers. Many users report boxes that come late, or sometimes never at all. Indeed, it seems some of the people selling subscription boxes on Cratejoy are nothing more than thinly veiled scams.
Some people also complain that the products in the subscription box are not worth what they paid for it. This lack of control is the price for letting anyone sell on the website. Cratejoy might benefit from more restrictive selling parameters and accountability.
Other Frequently Asked Questions
Cratejoy is pretty intuitive, but it can still be a bit confusing for new members. Here are some FAQ's and answers most users of Cratejoy end up asking.
[+] How Do You Write A Review For a Cratejoy Box?
Find the subscription page your box is from and find the "Write a Review" navigational button. To prevent spam or abusive language from appearing on the site, Cratejoy checks all the reviews before posting them. Cratejoy typically posts the review within twenty-four hours of submission.
[+] How Do I Sell Boxes on Cratejoy?
Go to the bottom page of Cratejoy.com and click the start a subscription business. Then sing up for the monthly service, create a website for Cratejoy and start selling you subscription boxes.
[+] When Does Cratejoy Ship the Boxes?

[+] When Does Cratejoy Charge Its Renewal Fee?
Cratejoy will charge you the subscription cost on the fifteenth of each month.
[+] How Do I Cancel My Cratejoy Subscription?
If you want to cancel one of your subscription on Cratejoy, first log in to your account. Next, go to the subscription tab and click on active subscriptions. Then click the manage subscriptions button and finally hit the cancel subscription option.
Final Thoughts on Cratejoy.com
Cratejoy is an excellent business idea in theory, but it does currently have some pretty significant design flaws in real life, both for buyers and sellers. The concept of allowing specialized individuals and business to sell their product directly to consumers is pretty cool.
Instead of generic products, you get curated selections for your specific tastes. It is a lovely human touch in an age dominated by algorithms. Unfortunately, humans are a lot less predictable than computers.
As such, a lot of Cratejoy customers might have to deal with minor inconveniences, like late boxes, or more massive scams that never deliver the box, or sometimes charge people for the same box twice. And these inconveniences are not limited to buyers.
Cratejoy is pretty expensive for the budding entrepreneur, and small-scale operation can quickly become overrun with orders and requests.
If Cratejoy is going to function as a digital marketplace, it needs to set up more rules for how people can utilize it. These rules mean first setting parameters on who can sell the thing on Cratejoy.
With selling features reserved for verified and qualified businesses and individuals, the website could become the cool concept it markets itself as — a thriving e-commerce site. But at the moment it remains bogged down with some significant flaws.

COVID-19 Vaccines and OYA
The latest information on vaccines for OYA staff and youth. [Updated March 2, 2021]
OYA Communications	on December 22, 2020
Ver este artículo en español
UPDATED Mar. 2, 2021
Update on Vaccines for Youth
OYA received Moderna vaccines for youth in close custody on Feb. 22. We began vaccinating eligible youth on Friday, Feb. 26. We are continuing to vaccinate youth this week at all facilities except Camp Riverbend, where youth will get their vaccines from local health providers.
Moderna's vaccine is only approved for people age 18 and older, so we will only be able to administer it to youth in our correctional and transitional facilities who are 18 and older.
We are working with OHA on a plan to provide Pfizer vaccines to youth ages 16 and 17. These vaccines will likely be administered by external health providers who will come into our facilities. In some cases, youth may be transported to a community clinic.
For OYA youth ages 16 and older in residential programs, we are working out plans with OHA to offer them the vaccine in the community.
As a reminder, the vaccine is not mandatory. Youth can choose whether to take it.
We have prepared information geared toward our youth and their families to help them make an informed decision. This includes information specifically for Latino, Black and Native American youth and their families. You can find all this information on our blog: insideoya.com/2021/02/11/covid-19-vaccine-information-for-youth-and-families. If you work with our youth or families, please share this link with them.
OYA Vaccinates 275 Eligible Workers
OYA's Health Services team administered 275 first and second doses of COVID-19 vaccine during the final week of February. Our staff vaccination clinics are now complete.
The vaccines went to people who were eligible as part of group 1a, including facility staff, teachers, contractors, other OYA staff whose work takes them inside our facilities, and people who work with OYA youth in contracted residential programs.
A big thank-you goes out to the OYA nurses and others who worked many hours to make these vaccination clinics happen. Their dedication provides an extra layer of safety for our team and is directly helping to fight the pandemic.
Eligible OYA Staff May Still Get Vaccines in their Communities
All people who are part of category 1a, which includes those who work in correctional settings, are now eligible to receive the COVID-19 vaccine. (See the FAQ below for more details on who is eligible.)
Oregon Health Authority has advised us that OYA staff who are eligible should feel free to go ahead and get their vaccine in their community, if it is being offered.
Vaccines Must Be Obtained on Personal Time
If you want to get the vaccine, it must be done on your personal time. If you need to miss work due to recovering from receiving the vaccine, you will need to use your accrued leave. However, we will be working hard to try to offer the vaccine at times that align with staff work schedules.
Vaccines Are Not Required, But We Recommend Them
We strongly encourage everyone to take the vaccine when offered, for your safety and for the safety of your families, co-workers, and the youth and families we serve. However, we are not requiring staff to get the vaccine.
Who is Eligible to Receive the Vaccine?
The following groups are eligible now to receive the vaccine, according to Oregon Health Authority (OHA):
All OYA staff and contractors who work in OYA facilities, including teachers and healthcare providers.
All staff who care for OYA youth in contracted residential programs in the community.
OYA staff who provide direct support to youth but who don't work full-time in a facility, such as juvenile parole/probation officers and foster care certifiers.
Anyone age 65 or older.
For up-to-date information on who's eligible, see the Oregon Health Authority website here.
What if a Youth Doesn't Want the Vaccine, or if Their Parent Doesn't Want Them to Get It?
Youth are not required to have the vaccine at this time. If youth do not wish to receive the vaccine, all they need to do is refuse the shot when it's offered.
However, even though the vaccine is not required, it's important to get the vaccine to prevent getting sick with the virus. Research about these vaccines showed that they are effective at least 95% of the time.
For youth age 15 or older, the decision will likely be up to the youth. Oregon law says people age 15 and older can consent to medical procedures without parental consent, which means they could choose whether to get the vaccine. None of the vaccines at this time are recommended for children younger than 16. We will only offer the vaccines to youth who are eligible.
We recognize that some families will want a say in the youth's decision. We strongly encourage families to talk with their youth about whether to get vaccinated. If families are concerned about the vaccine, we recommend they reach out to their youth to discuss their preferences.
If Youth Get the Vaccine, Do They Still Need to Wear a Mask?
Yes, for now. Getting the vaccine only protects them from getting COVID-19. The people who researched the vaccines still are not sure whether vaccinated people can spread the virus.
Until they know more, it's important that youth still wear a face covering, wash their hands frequently, and stay distant from others. It could take many months before it's safe to stop these safety precautions.
More Information From The New York Times
Why can't everyone get the vaccine now?
There aren't enough doses for everyone, so initially the vaccine will be rationed for those who need it most. It will take time to produce and distribute the vaccine, and then schedule two vaccinations per person, three to four weeks apart. As more vaccines get approved, things will speed up.
How do I know it's safe?
Each company's application to the F.D.A. (Food and Drug Administration) includes two months of follow-up safety data from Phase 3 of clinical trials conducted by universities and other independent bodies. In that phase,
tens of thousands of volunteers got a vaccine and waited to see if they became infected, compared with others who received a placebo (a harmless shot that doesn't do anything). By September, Pfizer's trial had 44,000
participants; no serious safety concerns have been reported.
I had COVID-19 already. Do I need the vaccine?
It's safe, and probably even a good idea, for anyone who has had COVID to get the vaccine at some point, experts said. Although people who have contracted the virus do have immunity, it is too soon to know how long it lasts. So for now, it makes sense for them to get the shot.
Why not take my chances with COVID-19 rather than get a vaccine?
COVID-19 is by far the more dangerous option, even if you are young and at low risk. Younger people can become severely ill, too. In a study of more than 3,000 people ages 18 to 34 who were hospitalized for COVID, 20% required intensive care and 3% died. And as many as one in three people who recover from COVID have chronic complaints, including exhaustion, a racing heart and worse for months afterward. COVID vaccines, in contrast, carry little known risk.
These facts and more can be found on The New York Times' website.

Q: What is the "right" way to handle orientation changes in iOS 8? Can someone please tell me the "right" or "best" approach to working with portrait and landscape interface orientations in iOS 8? It seems that all the functions I want to use for that purpose are deprecated in iOS 8, and my research has turned up no clear, elegant alternative. Am I really supposed to look at the width and height to determine for myself if we are in portrait or landscape mode?
For example, in my view controller, how should I implement the following pseudocode?
if we are rotating from portrait to landscape then
  do portrait things
else if we are rotating from landscape to portrait then
  do landscape things

A: Apple recommends using size classes as a coarse measure of how much screen space is available, so that your UI can significantly change its layout and appearance. Consider that an iPad in portrait has the same size classes as it does in landscape (Regular width, Regular height). This means that your UI should be more or less similar between the two orientations.
However, the change from portrait to landscape in an iPad is significant enough that you may need to make some smaller adjustments to the UI, even though the size classes have not changed. Since the interface orientation related methods on UIViewController have been deprecated, Apple now recommends implementing the following new method in UIViewController as a replacement:
- (void)viewWillTransitionToSize:(CGSize)size withTransitionCoordinator:(id <UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator>)coordinator
{
    [super viewWillTransitionToSize:size withTransitionCoordinator:coordinator];

    // Code here will execute before the rotation begins.
    // Equivalent to placing it in the deprecated method -[willRotateToInterfaceOrientation:duration:]

    [coordinator animateAlongsideTransition:^(id<UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinatorContext> context) {

        // Place code here to perform animations during the rotation.
        // You can pass nil or leave this block empty if not necessary.

    } completion:^(id<UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinatorContext> context) {

        // Code here will execute after the rotation has finished.
        // Equivalent to placing it in the deprecated method -[didRotateFromInterfaceOrientation:]

    }];
}

Great! Now you're getting callbacks right before the rotation starts, and after it finishes. But what about actually knowing whether the rotation is to portrait or to landscape?
Apple recommends thinking about rotation as simply a change in size of the parent view. In other words, during an iPad rotation from portrait to landscape, you can think of it as the root-level view simply changing its bounds.size from {768, 1024} to {1024, 768}. Knowing this then, you should use the size passed into the viewWillTransitionToSize:withTransitionCoordinator: method above to figure out whether you are rotating to portrait or landscape.
If you want an even more seamless way to migrate legacy code to the new iOS 8 way of doing things, consider using this simple category on UIView, which can be used to determine whether a view is "portrait" or "landscape" based on its size.
To recap:

*

*You should use size classes to determine when to show fundamentally different UIs (e.g. an "iPhone-like" UI vs. an "iPad-like" UI)

*If you need to make smaller adjustments to your UI when size classes don't change but your container (parent view) size does, such as when an iPad rotates, use the viewWillTransitionToSize:withTransitionCoordinator: callback in UIViewController.

*Every view in your app should only make layout decisions based on the space that it has been given to layout in. Let the natural hierarchy of views cascade this information down.

*Similarly, don't use the statusBarOrientation -- which is basically a device-level property -- to determine whether to layout a view for "portrait" vs "landscape". The status bar orientation should only be used by code dealing with things like UIWindow which actually live at the very root level of the app.

A: From a UI perspective, I believe that using Size Classes are Apple's recommended approach for handling interfaces in different orientations, sizes and scales.
See the section: Traits Describe the Size Class and Scale of an Interface here:
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/releasenotes/General/WhatsNewIniOS/Articles/iOS8.html

"iOS 8 adds new features that make dealing with screen size and orientation much more versatile."

This one is a good article as well:

EDIT
Updated Link:
https://carpeaqua.com/2014/06/14/thinking-in-terms-of-ios-8-size-classes/ (Credit: Koen)

A: Based on smileyborg's very well detailed (and accepted) answer, here is an adaptation using swift 3:
override func viewWillTransition(to size: CGSize, with coordinator: UIViewControllerTransitionCoordinator) {
    super.viewWillTransition(to: size, with: coordinator)
    coordinator.animate(alongsideTransition: nil, completion: {
        _ in
        self.collectionView.collectionViewLayout.invalidateLayout()
    })
}

And in the UICollectionViewDelegateFlowLayout implementation,
public func collectionView(_ collectionView: UICollectionView, layout collectionViewLayout: UICollectionViewLayout, sizeForItemAt indexPath: IndexPath) -> CGSize {
    // retrieve the updated bounds
    let itemWidth = collectionView.bounds.width
    let itemHeight = collectionView.bounds.height
    // do whatever you need to do to adapt to the new size
}

A: I simply use notification Center:
Add an orientation variable (will explain at end)
//Above viewdidload
var orientations:UIInterfaceOrientation = UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarOrientation

Add Notification when view appears
override func viewDidAppear(animated: Bool) {
    NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().addObserver(self, selector: "orientationChanged:", name: UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification, object: nil)
}

Remove Notification when view goes away
override func viewWillDisappear(animated: Bool) {
        NSNotificationCenter.defaultCenter().removeObserver(self, name: UIDeviceOrientationDidChangeNotification, object: nil)
}

Gets current orientation when notification is triggered
func orientationChanged (notification: NSNotification) {
    adjustViewsForOrientation(UIApplication.sharedApplication().statusBarOrientation)
}

Checks orientation (portrait/landscape) and handles events
func adjustViewsForOrientation(orientation: UIInterfaceOrientation) {
    if (orientation == UIInterfaceOrientation.Portrait || orientation == UIInterfaceOrientation.PortraitUpsideDown)
    {
        if(orientation != orientations) {
            println("Portrait")
            //Do Rotation stuff here
            orientations = orientation
        }
    }
    else if (orientation == UIInterfaceOrientation.LandscapeLeft || orientation == UIInterfaceOrientation.LandscapeRight)
    {
       if(orientation != orientations) {
            println("Landscape")
            //Do Rotation stuff here
            orientations = orientation
        }
    }
}

The reason I add an orientation variable is because when testing on a physical device the orientation notification gets called at every minor move in the device, and not just when it rotates. Adding the var and if statements only calls the code if it switched to the opposite orientation.

A: Here is a workaround:
    private var _viewSize: CGSize = .zero

Charles Nesbitt Wilson (Trinity, 1 de junho de 1933 - Lufkin, 10 de fevereiro de 2010)  foi um oficial da Marinha dos Estados Unidos e ex-deputado democrata dos Estados Unidos por 12 mandatos do 2º distrito congressional do Texas. Foi deputado pelo Partido Democrata no Congresso dos Estados Unidos pelo segundo distrito do Texas entre 1973 e 1997 e foi um dos responsáveis pela Operação Ciclone durante a Invasão Soviética do Afeganistão (1979-1989).Wilson é mais conhecido por liderar o Congresso no apoio à Operação Ciclone, a maior operação secreta da Agência Central de Inteligência (CIA), que durante as administrações Carter e Reagan forneceu equipamentos militares aos Mujahideen afegãos durante a Guerra Soviético-Afegã.

Sua campanha nos bastidores foi o tema do livro de não-ficção "Charlie Wilson's War: The Extraordinary Story of the Largest Covert Operation in History" (Guerra de Charlie Wilson: a história extraordinária da maior operação secreta da história) de George Crile III e o filme subsequente Charlie Wilson's War (Jogos do Poder, 2007), onde ele foi interpretado por Tom Hanks.Faleceu em 10 de fevereiro de 2010, depois de sofrer uma parada cardiorrespiratória, no Memorial Medical Center da cidade de Lufkin, no noroeste do Texas. Sua história é narrada no filme Charlie Wilson's War (2007).

Início da vida e carreira naval
Wilson nasceu na pequena cidade de Trinity, Texas, filho de Charles Edwin Wilson, contador de uma empresa madeireira local, e Wilmuth (Nesbitt), uma florista local, em 1º de junho de 1933. Wilson tinha uma irmã mais nova, Sharon Wilson Allison, ex-presidente da "Planned Parenthood" e presidente da Federação Internacional de Planejamento Familiar, que atualmente reside em Waco, Texas. Wilson frequentou escolas públicas de Trinity e, após a formatura da Trinity High School em 1951, frequentou um semestre na Universidade Pública de Sam Houston em Huntsville, Texas, antes de ser nomeado para o Academia Naval dos EUA  em Annapolis, Maryland.

Enquanto esteve em Annapolis, Wilson ganhou o segundo maior número de deméritos na história da academia (seu colega de quarto, Robert Mullen, ganhou o maior número de deméritos). Wilson se formou em oitavo lugar entre os piores de sua classe em 1956 com um "Bacharel em Ciências" em Engenharia, com especialização em eletrônica. Entre 1956 e 1960, Wilson serviu na Marinha dos Estados Unidos, alcançando o posto de tenente e servindo como oficial de artilharia no navio USS John W. Weeks. Ele foi designado para o Pentágono como parte de uma unidade de inteligência que avaliou as forças nucleares da União Soviética.

Destaques do início da carreira política
Desde tenra idade, Wilson se interessou por segurança nacional e assuntos estrangeiros. Ter crescido durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial encorajou Wilson a ler com grande interesse a história militar, incluindo vários artigos e outras literaturas sobre a guerra. Isso levou Wilson a ter uma admiração ao longo da vida por Winston Churchill. Wilson até aproveitou a oportunidade quando criança para "vigiar" Trinity dos ataques aéreos japoneses de seu posto no quintal. O sentimento inicial de patriotismo de Wilson e seu forte interesse em assuntos internacionais o encorajaram a se tornar politicamente ativo mais tarde na vida. De acordo com o próprio Wilson, ele entrou na política pela primeira vez quando adolescente, fazendo uma campanha contra seu vizinho, o vereador Charles Hazard. Quando Wilson tinha treze anos, seu cachorro de quatorze anos entrou no quintal de Hazard. Hazard retaliou misturando vidro esmagado na comida do cachorro, causando hemorragia interna fatal. Após esse incidente, Wilson obteve uma carteira de motorista e levou noventa e seis eleitores às urnas em seu Chevrolet de duas portas de sua família. Quando os clientes deixaram o carro, Wilson disse a cada um deles que não queria influenciar seu voto, mas que o titular Hazard havia matado seu cachorro de propósito. Depois que Hazard foi derrotado por uma margem de 16 votos, Wilson foi à sua casa para lhe dizer que seus eleitores afroaemricanos votaram para derrotá-lo e que ele "não deveria envenenar mais cães". Wilson citou isso como "o dia em que ele se apaixonou pela América".

Enquanto Wilson trabalhava no Pentágono, ele se ofereceu para ajudar na campanha presidencial de John F. Kennedy em 1960. Enquanto se voluntariava na campanha de Kennedy, Wilson tirou uma licença de 30 dias da Marinha dos EUA e inscreveu seu nome na corrida para representante do estado do Texas em seu distrito natal na chapa democrata. Essa ação violou os regulamentos da Marinha, pois os militares da ativa estão proibidos de ocupar cargos públicos. Quando Wilson voltou ao trabalho, sua família e amigos foram fazer campanha de porta em porta. Em 1961, aos 27 anos, ele foi empossado em Austin, Texas.

A empresa "Temple-Inland Inc.", uma produtora de produtos florestais do leste do Texas de propriedade de Arthur Temple Jr., e o filho de Temple, Buddy Temple, empregou Wilson durante sua legislatura do Texas, mas os interesses comerciais tornavam suspeitas a política de Wilson. Enquanto atuava como legislador estadual do Texas por doze anos (seis na Câmara dos Deputados do Texas e seis no Senado do Texas), Wilson lutou pela regulamentação de serviços públicos, lutou pelo "Medicaid" (cuidados médicos acessíveis), isenções fiscais para idosos, a Emenda de Direitos Iguais e tentou aumentar o salário mínimo do estado. Ele também foi um dos poucos políticos proeminentes do Texas a ser pró-escolha (grupo que defende os direito da mulher em decidir se quer manter ou não manter a gravidez. Todas essas políticas renderam a Wilson a reputação de ser o "liberal de Lufkin".

Atuação no Congresso norte-americano
Em 1972, Wilson foi eleito para a Câmara dos Representantes dos Estados Unidos pelo 2º distrito congressional do Texas, assumindo o cargo em janeiro seguinte. Reeleito onze vezes, Wilson gostava muito de seu trabalho e sempre buscou "cuidar do pessoal da casa" até sua renúncia em 8 de outubro de 1996. Embora fosse especializado em política externa, ele era liberal em outras questões, como direitos das mulheres, segurança e aborto. Como representante de calouros da Universidade, Wilson conseguiu a designação do "Big Thicket" no sudeste do Texas como Reserva Nacional em 1974. Essa conquista inicial fez seus colegas respeitarem seu poder político e Wilson rapidamente ganhou uma nomeação no Comitê de Apropriações da Câmara dos Estados Unidos. Durante seu mandato, os colegas de Wilson o consideravam o "melhor comerciante de cavalos em Washington" por causa de sua capacidade de negociar e trocar votos com outros congressistas para garantir a aprovação de seus projetos de lei favorecidos.

Apesar de não ter muitos eleitores judeus, Wilson desenvolveu um forte relacionamento com Israel durante toda a sua carreira no Congresso. Esse vínculo começou durante o primeiro ano de Wilson em Washington, quando ocorreu a Guerra do Yom Kippur. Desde tenra idade, Wilson sempre apoiou o "azarão", e Wilson rapidamente saiu em defesa de Israel como um autoproclamado "comando israelense". Enquanto estava no comitê de apropriações, Wilson aumentou a ajuda dos EUA a Israel para US$ 3 bilhões anualmente. Mais tarde, os laços estreitos de Wilson com Israel permitiram que ele colaborasse com engenheiros de defesa israelenses para criar e transportar armas antiaéreas portáteis para o Paquistão para serem usadas na guerra soviético-afegã.

Quanto à política doméstica, Wilson defendeu incessantemente os direitos do indivíduo, especialmente os direitos das mulheres e das minorias. Ele votou continuamente a favor da escolha e lutou contra a discriminação eleitoral contra afro-americanos. Mulheres e afro-americanos eram duas de suas maiores bases constituintes. Wilson respeitava tanto o voto feminino de seu distrito que, em 1974, ele usou a Liga das Mulheres Eleitoras para aprovar a Lei de Água Potável Segura. Além de apoiar a legislação dos direitos das mulheres, Wilson quebrou a tradição de Washington e contratou funcionárias. Embora Wilson nunca tenha tido uma chefe de gabinete mulher, seu escritório estava cheio de mulheres que ajudavam incansavelmente o congressista. Os "Anjos de Charlie", como eram comumente chamados, lidavam com problemas constituintes de Wilson para garantir que nenhum de seus eleitores carecesse de ajuda e apoio. A equipe de Wilson rapidamente chamou a atenção de seus colegas e da mídia. Embora rumores de escândalos cercassem o escritório de Wilson, Wilson insistiu enfaticamente que sua equipe deveria ser respeitada e seu trabalho diligente para o representante lhes permitia ter liberdade para trabalhar independentemente de Wilson.

Wilson trabalhou para melhorar a vida dos americanos, especialmente os desprivilegiados. Wilson fez lobby contra interesses comerciais para manter um salário mínimo de US$ 3,35 por hora. Wilson também procurou aumentar o financiamento do Medicare e do Medicaid para idosos (cuidados médicos acessíveis), desprivilegiados e veteranos, e obteve financiamento para abrir a seção dos Veteranos de Guerra (Militares), no Hospital em Lufkin, Texas.

Wilson apoiou avidamente os direitos individuais de possuir armas de fogo. Esse apoio criou tensão entre Wilson e sua irmã Sharon Allison, mas eles chegaram a um acordo de que Allison deixaria Wilson em paz sobre suas opiniões sobre armas de fogo, e Wilson apoiaria a agenda pró-escolha de sua irmã Allison.

Wilson alcançou uma medida de sucesso por meio de suas capacidades de negociação de cavalos. O presidente da Câmara, Tip O'Neill, nomeou Wilson para o Comitê de Ética da Câmara dos Estados Unidos em 1980 para ajudar a proteger o deputado John Murtha Jr. de investigações durante o escândalo Abscam. Em troca da nomeação de Wilson para este comitê, O'Neill também deu a ele um cobiçado lugar no Conselho de Curadores do Kennedy Center. Wilson também ganhou uma posição no subcomitê de Dotações de Defesa da Câmara. Essa nomeação permitiu a Wilson canalizar dinheiro de apoio para Somoza na Nicarágua e apoiar os esforços dos Mujahideen para expulsar os soviéticos do Afeganistão.

Guerra Soviético-Afegã

Em 1980, Wilson leu um memorando da "Associated Press" nos telegramas do Congresso descrevendo os refugiados que fugiam do Afeganistão ocupado pelos soviéticos. A comunista República Democrática do Afeganistão assumiu o poder durante a Revolução Saur e pediu à União Soviética que ajudasse a suprimir a resistência dos Mujahideen. De acordo com o biógrafo George Crile III, Wilson chamou a equipe do Comitê de Dotações da Câmara dos Estados Unidos que lidava com "dotações obscuras" e solicitou um aumento de dotação duas vezes para o Afeganistão. Como Wilson havia acabado de ser nomeado para o Subcomitê de Apropriações da Câmara de Defesa (responsável pelo financiamento das operações da CIA), seu pedido foi.

Essa não foi a última vez que ele aumentou o orçamento da CIA para sua operação no Afeganistão. Em 1983, ele garantiu 40 milhões de dóalres adicionais, dos quais 17 milhões foram alocados para armas antiaéreas para derrubar helicópteros Mil Mi-24 Hind. No ano seguinte, o oficial da CIA Gust Avrakotos abordou diretamente Wilson – quebrando a política da CIA contra fazer lobby por dinheiro no Congresso – pedindo a Wilson mais US$ 50 milhões. Wilson concordou e convenceu o Congresso, dizendo: "Os EUA não tiveram nada a ver com a decisão dessas pessoas de lutar ... mas seremos condenados pela história se os deixarmos lutar com pedras". Mais tarde, Wilson conseguiu dar aos afegãos US$ 300 milhões em dinheiro não utilizado do Pentágono antes do final do ano fiscal. Assim, Wilson influenciou diretamente o nível de apoio do governo dos Estados Unidos aos Mujahideen afegãos. Wilson disse que a operação secreta foi bem-sucedida porque "não houve partidarismo ou vazamentos prejudiciais". Michael Pillsbury, um alto funcionário do Pentágono, usou o financiamento de Wilson para fornecer mísseis Stinger à resistência afegã em uma decisão controversa.

Joanne Herring, juntamente com outros, desempenhou um papel importante em ajudar os combatentes da resistência afegã a obter apoio e equipamento militar do governo dos Estados Unidos. Ela convenceu Wilson a visitar a liderança paquistanesa e, depois de se encontrar com eles, ele foi levado para um grande campo de refugiados afegão sediado no Paquistão para que pudesse ver por si mesmo as atrocidades cometidas pelos soviéticos contra o povo afegão. Sobre essa visita, Wilson disse mais tarde que "a experiência que sempre ficará marcada em minha memória, foi passar por esses hospitais e ver, especialmente aquelas crianças com as mãos arrancadas das minas que os soviéticos estavam lançando de seus helicópteros. Isso foi talvez a coisa decisiva... e isso fez uma grande diferença para os próximos 10 ou 12 anos da minha vida porque eu saí daqueles hospitais determinado, desde que eu tivesse fôlego no meu corpo e fosse um membro do Congresso, que eu estava vou fazer o que puder para que os soviéticos paguem pelo que estavam fazendo!" Em 2008, Wilson disse que "se envolveu no Afeganistão porque fui lá e vi o que os soviéticos estavam fazendo. E vi os campos de refugiados".

Por seus esforços, Wilson foi agraciado com o Prêmio de Colega Honorário da CIA. Ele se tornou o primeiro civil a receber o prêmio. No entanto, o papel de Wilson permanece controverso porque a maior parte da ajuda foi fornecida ao militante islâmico Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, que foi acusado de crimes de guerra graves e mais tarde aliado ao Taleban após a invasão dos EUA.

A decisão da União Soviética de se retirar do Afeganistão e declarar a invasão um erro levou Wilson a elogiar a liderança soviética no plenário da Câmara dos Representantes. Ele também apoiou o envolvimento dos Estados Unidos na Guerra da Bósnia, percorrendo a antiga Iugoslávia durante cinco dias em janeiro de 1993; em seu retorno, ele instou o governo Clinton a suspender o embargo de armas à Bósnia, comentando: "Isso é o bem contra o mal e, se não queremos americanizar isso, então o que queremos americanizar? Temos que defender alguma coisa".

Durante a visita de Charlie Wilson ao Afeganistão, ele conheceu Jalaluddin Haqqani. Ele queria disparar um míssil Stinger em um dos helicópteros soviéticos. Haqqani ficou feliz em tornar realidade a fantasia de guerra de Charlie Wilson. Eles arrastaram correntes e pneus na estrada para criar uma nuvem de poeira, que atrairia helicópteros soviéticos. No entanto, nenhum dos helicópteros soviéticos apareceu e Charlie Wilson não conseguiu disparar nenhum míssil.

"Charlie Boa Vida"
Wilson descaradamente viveu uma vida extravagante. Começando em seus anos navais, Wilson gostava de festas e noites na cidade. Wilson era um autoproclamado "homem das mulheres" e a mídia noticiou sobre seu quarto exótico, completo com banheira de hidromassagem e algemas, onde ele se envolveu em casos românticos. A imagem de "Charlie Boa-Vida" (um "Bon vivant") de Wilson foi exposta pela primeira vez ao público em uma coluna de 1978 por Kathleen McLean no The Washington Post. Ao longo de sua carreira no Congresso, quando os repórteres questionaram Wilson sobre a opinião de seus eleitores sobre seu representante, Wilson informou que eles sabiam que não estavam elegendo um "monge constipado" para o cargo. Wilson abraçou descaradamente sua personalidade de playboy e nunca minimizou sua imagem de "Good Time" em público.

O prazer por festas de Wilson o levou a investir com dois empresários do Texas para abrir o Clube Noturno Elan, em ashington Club. Para aumentar o número de sócios do clube, Wilson distribuiu quotas da empresa a seus colegas congressistas. No meio de sua distribuição de afiliações, Wilson decidiu que suas ações podem não ser consideradas éticas pelo Congresso e comentou que ele "foi etizado fora do negócio".

Ao longo de sua vida, Wilson bebeu muito, o que pode ter sido um fator em seu divórcio de Jerry. Enquanto em Washington, Wilson tornou-se um alcoólatra funcional e sofria de graves crises de depressão e insônia, e sua bebida se intensificou durante seu envolvimento no Afeganistão. A embriaguez de Wilson também levou a um escândalo em 1980, quando uma testemunha ocular relatou que o carro "Lincoln Continental" de Wilson atingiu um Mazda em um acidente de atropelamento na Ponte Key , em Washington, DC, na noite anterior à sua primeira viagem ao Paquistão. Embora ele nunca tenha sido condenado, este acidente ilustra a imprudência de Wilson com o álcool.

Durante uma de suas excursões ao exterior, Wilson foi transportado para um hospital na Alemanha, onde os médicos disseram a Wilson que seu coração estava falhando devido ao consumo excessivo de álcool. Wilson procurou uma segunda e terceira opinião em hospitais em Bethesda e Houston e as conclusões dos médicos alemães foram confirmadas: Wilson teve que parar de beber. Após esses diagnósticos, Wilson parou de beber bebidas destiladas, mas continuou a beber vinho por vários anos. Seu consumo excessivo de álcool e problemas cardíacos associados forçaram Wilson a fazer um transplante de coração em setembro de 2007. Superando sua luta contra o alcoolismo, Wilson finalmente parou de beber depois de se casar com Barbara Alberstadt, uma ex-bailarina, em 1999.

Além do abuso de álcool, Wilson supostamente usava drogas ilegais. Em 1980, Wilson foi acusado de usar cocaína no "Caesars Palace" em Las Vegas; no entanto, a investigação do advogado do Departamento de Justiça, Rudy Giuliani, foi abandonada devido à falta de provas. Liz Wickersham disse aos investigadores que viu Wilson usar cocaína apenas uma vez nas Ilhas Cayman, mas fora da jurisdição dos Estados Unidos. Em "The Charlie Wilson Real Story", Wilson revela que viajou para Las Vegas no verão de 1980 e relembra uma experiência com duas strippers em uma banheira de hidromassagem.

Quando questionado sobre seu suposto uso de cocaína passado em 2007, Wilson reafirmou: "Ninguém sabe a resposta para isso e eu não vou contar".

Além de seus "Anjos" (secretárias) no escritório, Wilson sempre tinha uma acompanhante feminina quando não estava no plenário da Câmara. O principal motivador de Wilson para estar no Conselho de Curadores do Kennedy Center era que ele sempre tinha um lugar para marcar um encontro. Além disso, após sua segunda viagem ao Paquistão, Wilson sempre trazia consigo uma companheira. A certa altura, ele até trouxe Carol Shannon para entreter seus anfitriões com sua habilidade de dança do ventre. Trazer mulheres para o Paquistão criou tensão entre Wilson e a CIA em 1987, quando a agência se recusou a financiar as despesas de viagem de sua namorada. Em resposta, Wilson cortou o financiamento da agência no ano seguinte. De acordo com a empresária e ativista política Joanne Herring, Wilson se preocupava com seus encontros e gostava de ser romântico e carinhoso. Embora ele fosse um "sexista sem remorso, caipira, chauvinista", ele atraiu muitas mulheres ao longo de vários anos.

Diz-se que Wilson viveu a vida como "uma grande festa" e viveu pelo mantra de que poderia "levar seu trabalho a sério sem se levar a sério".

Aposentadoria
Wilson se recusou a concorrer à reeleição em 1996 e se tornou um lobista do Paquistão antes de se aposentar em Lufkin. Ele doou seus documentos do Congresso para a Universidade Pública de Austin "Stephen F. Austin". Em 1999, casou-se com Barbara Alberstadt, sua segunda esposa. Wilson recebeu um transplante de coração em 2007 e continuou a acompanhar a situação no Afeganistão e no Paquistão, tendo expressado preocupação com os acontecimentos naquela região. Em julho de 2009, o Conselho de Regentes do Sistema da Universidade do Texas estabeleceu a Cátedra Charles N. Wilson em Estudos do Paquistão, que incentiva a pesquisa sobre a importância geopolítica do Paquistão, bem como sua cultura, história e literatura.

Morte
Wilson morreu aos 76 anos em 10 de fevereiro de 2010, no Hospital "Memorial Health System" do Leste do Texas em Lufkin, após desmaiar no início do dia. Ele sofreu uma parada cardiorrespiratória. "A América perdeu um patriota extraordinário cuja vida mostrou que uma pessoa corajosa e determinada pode alterar o curso da história", disse Robert Gates, então secretário de Defesa dos Estados Unidos.

Wilson recebeu homenagens à beira do túmulo com honras militares completas no Cemitério Nacional de Arlington em 23 de fevereiro de 2010.

Uma banda de jazz de seis músicos enunciava elogios a sua memória com as músicas favoritas de Charlie "As Time Goes By", "My Way", e em homenagem a seus anos como oficial de inteligência naval "Anchors Aweigh" e "Navy Hymn". "Fará falta dele, das Colinas de Golã ao Passo de Khyber, do Cáspio ao Suez e aos salões do Congresso, por sua civilidade e disposição de ouvir e ajudar, e não de postura", disse John Wing, que trabalhou em estreita colaboração com Wilson. em questões globais, os dois formando uma força dinâmica no Afeganistão, bem como em outras regiões.

As primeiras filas da Escola de "Temple Theather" estavam lotadas de pessoas como a senadora republicana Kay Bailey Hutchison, o ex-deputado dos EUA Martin Frost, o ex-vice-governador Ben Barnes e o empresário do gás de Houston Oscar Wyatt e sua esposa Lynn. Após o culto de domingo, sua viúva Barbara recebeu um pequeno grupo de amigos íntimos de seu falecido marido em sua casa no campo de golfe em Lufkin. Ao lado de uma escultura de uma águia americana na sala de estar, as palavras de Abdur Rahman Khan, emir do Afeganistão de 1880 a 1901, estão gravadas em uma placa de latão: "Meu espírito permanecerá no Afeganistão mesmo que minha alma vá para Deus. últimas palavras para você, meu filho e sucessor, são: nunca confie nos russos".

Na Cultura Popular
O esforço bem-sucedido de Wilson para aumentar o financiamento da guerra anti-soviética afegã foi revelado no livro Charlie Wilson's War: The Extraordinary Story of the Largest Covert Operation in History (2003), de George Crile III. Na adaptação cinematográfica de 2007 Charlie Wilson's War, o ator Tom Hanks interpretou Wilson. O filme o retratou como um fanfarrão politicamente incorreto que gostava da companhia de mulheres bonitas.

Wilson foi um personagem-chave em "Ghost Wars: A História Secreta da CIA, Afeganistão e Bin Laden", desde a invasão soviética até 10 de setembro de 2001 (2005), de Steve Coll. Em 27 de dezembro de 2007, o History Channel transmitiu The True Story of Charlie Wilson, um documentário de duas horas sobre os esforços de guerra do congressista no Afeganistão e sua vida pessoal.

Net neutrality is something everyone using the Internet should be fighting to maintain. It simply ensures that no one service gets priority, or content and platforms get restricted. Looking at it the other way around, it stops a service from being restricted by those who control the pipes, be it an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or some other organization including a government.
Reed Hastings, CEO of Netflix, is claiming Comcast breaks net neutrality due to the way in which it treats access to content through its network. Posting on Facebook using his personal account, Hastings explains that Comcast's own Xfinity app can be used without it counting against the data cap associated with an account. However, if you use Netflix, HBO GO, or Hulu, they all count as data use and get deducted from your monthly data allowance.
The argument that Hastings is making here is that all four of those services offer the same thing, but they are not treated equally. The fact Xfinity does not use up an account's data allowance gives it an unfair advantage, and therefore breaks net neutrality. This is further backed up by the fact you can watch the same episodes of a show through Xfinity as you can on one of the other services, but it doesn't eat your data allowance. Subscribers are therefore encouraged or inclined to use Xfinity over competing products purely for that net neutrality-breaking reason.
Netflix has not officially commented on what Hastings has said through his personal Facebook account, but he does have a valid point. All four services use the same amount of data to stream the same shows where there is crossover, and therefore should be presented equally. But Comcast is using the fact it controls the accounts of the people watching to gain an advantage for its own service.

FURIOUS Nantwich civic leaders claim police are failing to curb gangs of teenage yobs.
They have reacted angrily to police assurances that escalating problems are being tackled.
In a Chronicle article last week, police listed a series of successful operations which they staged to combat the problem.
But this week Cllr Steve Hope, chairman of the town's Watch Committee, claimed: 'The truth is the police are failing to deal with this public nuisance.
'Reading the front page story in last week's Chronicle, it seems that the police believe the problem caused by a small number of teenage hooligans is under control.
'But from the events of the past few days it is clear that this is far from the truth.
'The police stated last week that there had been a lull in their activities because of the illness of the town's beat bobby. This is unacceptable and is symptomatic of a deeper malaise. If the local constable was ill, where was the back-up?
'People in Nantwich pay for police activities on their council tax bill. And where were the community wardens for whom we also pay?'
Cllr Hope said he hoped the answers would be forthcoming at a series of meetings set up for next few days.
Despite a number of swoops by police, who have made several arrests in the past few weeks, incidents involving teenage gangs are still happening.
Over the past few days a rock was hurled through the window of the home of the Rector of Nantwich, the Rev Peter Chantry, young hooligans burst into a meeting of senior citizens at The Gables in Beam Street, and the town's main bus shelter was vandalised.
There have also been reports of disturbances inside the public library and the town's museum.
Cllr Hope said Nantwich Town Council had an action plan which it hoped would help stamp out the problem.
He added: 'In addition I am personally going to ask the council to press Crewe and Nantwich Borough Council for the installation of more CCTV cameras in the town.'
The Labour chairman of the town council, Joyce Stockton said: 'Nantwich used to have a police inspector and a sergeant based at the police station, but now there is neither, so things are obviously going from bad to worse and this is extremely worrying
'I have the greatest respect for PC Miles Phillips, our town bobby, but he cannot be expected to deal alone with everything that is going on.
'If there were more policemen on the beat I am convinced these things could be nipped in the bud.'
Chief Inspector Robin Crorie, Crewe and Nantwich Police Division operations manager, said arrests had been made for some of the incidents highlighted.
He added: 'Locally, we are doing our best to deal with it. For instance, a short time ago youths disrupted a kung fu class in Nantwich Parish Hall. Next time the class was held we had 10 police officers and a dog on the scene and made two arrests.
'I can assure everyone that all the problems that have been mentioned are being addressed.'

Intercom Translations is a translation company based in London, founded in 1994 and has therefore great experience in this working field. It would be great chance to gain experience in the field of translations.


80% of US companies use time-tracking applications or time tracking with screenshots. In the tough world of capitalism, where time is money and there is nothing personal, the employer does not want to pay for the defect, and the employee scrupulously counts each dollar he is assigned.
The automatic timekeeping system is a computer program for managing human capital and increasing productivity.
The time tracking with screenshots software is installed on the computer and automatically collects information about which programs and sites the computer owner used. The time of work in each application or on the site is considered by clicking on the keys and mouse clicks.
Most of the owners of companies only in general terms know what their employees are doing. In fact, an employee does a dozen different tasks every day, and there can be several different reasons for the failure of terms. When management thinks that the project has failed due to lack of or illiterate time allocation, someone is being instructed to find a program for time accounting.
If more than one team member is working on the same task, it is important to understand who is doing more – not just for fair pay, but for understanding the level of qualifications. SCREENish time tracking with screenshots software will show that two employees with similar tasks can go to their closure a different amount of time.
Despite the different goals, changes in the company that automated the recording of working hours should start from the first day.
The first month: we find out who does not work in the company.
At the beginning 100% of managers are passionate about the idea of control. Every minute a lot of new information about the work of the distant employees comes.
It is possible to find that some of your employees had played "balls" for 5-6 hours a day. Some companies using time tracking with screenshots in the office discover, there was a full-fledged online cinema (films were watched by entire departments). The average amount of time that employees spend on work is wasted, ranging from 15% to 30%.
The list of distractions is typical: first place in 90% of cases is occupied by Twitter and Facebook, on the second – online stores and news.
There is really nothing to study and analyze here.
When the craving for control is weakened (this happens in a month), companies are thinking about what to do with this data.
There will be no need to constantly distract distant employees with questions about what they are currently engaged in. Now all information is available online around the clock.
A clear understanding of who worked for how long increases the degree of employee satisfaction with wages and reduces the risk of penalties that have become a scourge of large companies.
In a year: we know exactly what to spend time on, to get more profit.

Die Synagoge in Nonnenweier, einem Ortsteil der Gemeinde Schwanau im Ortenaukreis in Baden-Württemberg, wurde vermutlich im 18. Jahrhundert errichtet. Die Synagoge stand in der Schmidtenstraße 10.

Geschichte
Von einer Synagoge in Nonnenweier wird 1771 erstmals berichtet. 1806 wurde das Gebäude renoviert. Im Jahr 1865 erfolgte ein Umbau der Synagoge. Es wurden der Almemor abgeschafft und feste Bänke eingerichtet. Außerdem wurden neue Fenster und ein neuer Toraschrein eingebaut.

Beim Novemberpogrom 1938 wurde die Synagoge in Nonnenweier durch Brandstiftung zerstört, der Platz wurde später eingeebnet.

Gedenken
Gegenüber dem Standort der ehemaligen Synagoge erinnert ein Gedenkstein an das Synagogengebäude.

First Impression: The Devil Judge
July 12, 2021 July 12, 2021 / Drama Geek
Have you ever wondered what it would have been like if Shin Se Ge got his own drama? Chaos and guyliner galore. Well, the writer and director of The Devil Judge may have been among those people who dared to imagine. This drama is FLASHY, with edgy cinematography that makes a car chase feel like a tripped out dream. Especially, when Ji Sung's character gets out of his sports car and grabs a sledge hammer from his trunk. Will you want to join the game or is this drama not your style?
Let's back up a bit. In a dystopian future (that sadly looks like America summer 2020) there is a new type of justice and our crazy pants Shin Se Ge character Kang Yo Han (Ji Sung) is the enforcer of said justice. He's managed to get the backing for a new supreme court setup up that puts defendants on trail live for the people of Korea to pass judgment themselves. He brings along two other supreme court judges, Kim Ga On (Park Jin Young) and Oh Jin Joo (Kim Jae Kyung) to sit pretty on either side of him as they broadcast live and try the country's criminals.
Kim Ga On isn't there for fame. He's a plant by his old professor because they both think Kang Yo Han is as dirty as he appears to be. Like any good drama, our young judge has some past connection to his new boss, and their interactions are taught with all the possible secrets yet to unfold.
Drama Geek: Never should there be a court where we dial in and vote on someone's life. But… it makes for a really great concept. It was a bit jarring when they said it was a dystopian future and I just saw our news feed from last summer play out. I'm intrigued by the past connections and I really enjoy every scene these two leads are in.
Clkytta: This just doesn't feel dystopian. It feels like one step away from today. I think that's part of the horror and thrill I feel watching it. It's like the Judges can read the comments on news stories and give a verdict based on the thoughts of the public. It feels really scary actually.
Kmuse: I like that they put it in a dystopian setting; since then I don't have to try and believe whether the various legal stuff happening is logical. That is often how they lose me in lawyer shows. I know that they have a different court system, but I can't give credit to a story arc that has a piece of evidence found 20 years later (that has been used in various ways and contaminated) convicting the perp. I need some kind of logic to my law dramas. Or, in this case, a totally over-the-top law system that is mostly world-building rather than reality.
Not only are the scenes riveting to watch when they aren't participating in the mad game show they're calling a trial, but the drama pulls off a very intense show within a show. All of South Korea really would be watching this unfold, if it were real. The director creates a world that feels desolate because of sickness, riots, and poverty, and then goes super flashy in any scene our judge or his evil backers are in. The 1% is on full display, and it makes for a very tasty visual watch.
Drama Geek: This show's concept hinges on if the actual show is something somewhat believable or just outright entertaining and both apply to this. Ji Sung pulls off the game show host judge without being sleazy while his backers all come off the opposite. They're the Romans in the stands watching the gladiators kill each other.
Clkytta: It's all so PUBLIC. I mean, everything is played out on the screen and it feels like an invasion of privacy and the law. I agree with Drama Geek that it's very Romanesque and we are watching gladiators. It makes my stomach hurt.
Kmuse: I am just sitting back with a bag of popcorn and watching the crazy happen. Also, I am not sure if I would trust the citizens of my country to convict various criminals. I don't even trust them to pick the next musician I would want to invest my time on, let alone the future of a person's life.
The heading is misleading because after the first two episodes, you won't really know if Judge Kang should be included in this lot or not. He has an agenda, and we're not sure what it is yet. Opposing him is our standup judge Ga On and his professor, along with a Ga On's cop friend Yoon Soo Hyun (Park Gyu Young). Their main purpose so far is to figure out what Judge Kang has up his sleeve and who else among the 1% he's partnered with.
Drama Geek: By the end of episode two, Judge Kang reminds me of a Cdrama character in a recent show that aired. Wen Kexing from Word of Honor hated everyone on his chess board and he pitted them all against one another so he could sit back and watch them destroy each other. In a world where the powerful always win, it's not that bad of a strategy. I love every scene Park Jin Young and Ji Sung are in together. They play off each other masterfully and I'm glad to see the younger actor is holding up to Ji Sung's superior acting talents. They crackle a bit when they get close, and I'm here for the fireworks.
Clkytta: I don't know what to think. This game is definitely afoot! Ji Sung is killing this role. I love seeing him as a character with questionable intent and morals. There is no leash on this man, he does what he wants.
Kmuse: I am a huge fan of crazy pants characters that just want chaos and/or revenge. There is something so satisfying to watching them make the bad guys suffer. And Ji Sung is such a great actor that he totally sucks me into his personal brand of chaos.
We have two sets to look at. The backers behind this game show farce, and the defendants that they're going to put on trail each episode. Jung Sun Ah (Kim Min Jung) works for an old crusty dude who seems to be the puppet master. She pulls the strings for him, and looks fantastic while doing it. There are many people in their pocket and I'm sure we'll see them move in and out of the show as things progress. The first defendant goes down easily, and the trial is a huge ratings success. Some of the best scenes from the first two episodes are of Ji Sung tantalizing the audience with his type of justice.
Drama Geek: I've watched the first five or so episodes of Mr. Sunshine and Kim Min Jung was someone I definitely noticed and remembered her character. Her look and acting really draw you in and make you wonder what she's up to. There's a scene in episode two where she dances with Judge Kang and you don't know who is leading who during their interaction. Maybe she's the real puppet master and old creepy dude is being pulled by her. Either way, she has my attention and it's her I'm hoping for a final duel with our judge.
Clkytta: OMG, I LOVE her.She's like vanilla custard with arsenic in it. She's very unassuming and basically blends in to the background. Except, she's got a spine of steel and a mind that never stops going. I can't wait to see what she does next.
Kmuse: Kim Min Jung was my favorite character in My Fellow Citizens, and I am a huge fan of her taking on these morally grey characters. Can't wait to see how she fits in this messed-up society.
Whether it's the priest like robes the judges sport as they cat walk into the courtroom, or the music that's helping to weave a certain feel. This show has oodles of style. The shots of the rich are wide with lots of windows and opulent settings. Ji Sung looks stellar in every scene he's in, while his counter part played by Jin Young, is equally stunning but in a friendly boy next door way.
Drama Geek: There is a budget behind this drama, and it shows. The sets, car chases, and clothing are all top notch. I'm in love with the OST already, and I am also loving the styling of everyone except maybe the female cop. Poor thing just gets weird sweater turtleneck combos, but she's supposed to be doing all the grunt work, so I understand their choice.
Clkytta: While Drama Geek focuses on the men and the cop, I'm all about the women in charge. The Minister of Justice (Ha!) Cha Kyung Hee has some amazing power suits. Our demure and unassuming secretary, Jung Sun Ah, has some fantastic blouses with perfectly tied bows. I'm all about a good power suit and pussy bow blouse.
Kmuse: I am just a fan of it all. The over-the-top, almost religious court robes, the power suits, the going out to do vigilante crap black hoodies. Give it all to me and let me appreciate all the pretty on my screen!
Drama Geek: Will the show live up to its slick exterior? I've been burned a lot lately with great concepts that blow up in my face or end up being a boring pile of poo. I'm crossing all of my fingers and toes that this show will be a fantastic ride all the way to the end.
Clkytta: This one could be a huge winner. I'm hoping the budget and the writing holds out.
Kmuse: I am a huge fan of this kind of mysterious vigilante story tropes. I think I might be in for the long haul with this one.
Let us know if you're watching and what you think.
