How your neighborhood coffee shop is brewing geniuses
Economy Jan 21, 2016 7:13 PM EST
Editor's Note: For this week's Making Sen$e segment, economics correspondent Paul Solman sat down with Eric Weiner to discuss his new book "The Geography of Genius" over coffee. Genius, says Weiner, is not just born, it's created and cultivated, often in cities. And in 1900 Vienna, the coffee shop was imperative to cultivating the creativity necessary for genius.
So what geniuses came out of these Viennese coffee shops? Sigmund Freud, Gustav Klimt and Leon Trotsky. But before that, Vienna produced Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn. So what was it about Vienna? Weiner explains below. For more on the topic, watch this week's Making Sen$e segment, which airs every Thursday on the PBS NewsHour. The following text has been edited and condensed for clarity and length.
— Kristen Doerer, Making Sen$e Editor
Paul Solman: So what got you interested in genius — are you a particularly smart guy?
Eric Weiner: No, I'm not. Ask my wife. I'm interested in genius the way a hungry man is interested in Philadelphia cheesesteaks. I want something. I want a piece of it. And I've always been a big believer in the power of place. I believe that where we are affects who we are when it comes to happiness, spirituality, economics and creative genius. We often ask, "What is genius? Who is a genius?" We don't often ask, "Where is genius?"
Paul Solman: And therefore, "The Geography of Genius."
Eric Weiner: Exactly. Genius is not only a what or a who, it is a where. It is grounded in a place every single time. You look around the world at geniuses, and they don't appear randomly, they appear in genius clusters. Athens in 50 BC, Florence 1500, Silicon Valley today. This is not a coincidence. Something was in the water back then, and what I want to know is: Can we bottle it?
Paul Solman: So what was it about Vienna?
Eric Weiner: The coffee shop played a big role in Vienna of 1900. Rents were sky high, housing was difficult to come by, your apartment probably wasn't heated, and so you went to the coffee shop. You went to the coffee shop because it was warm, because it was great Viennese coffee, and you went for the conversation and the company. You also went for the news of the day. They had, and they still do, newspapers on display, for you to read. That's where people found out what was going on around the world, and it's where they exchanged ideas. They had conversations, and every topic was fair game in a Viennese coffeehouse.

Paul Solman: Does coffee play a part?
Eric Weiner: No. I would love to think there is a direct relationship between coffee and genius, but they've done studies, and if anything, caffeine probably makes you a little less creative. When you drink coffee, you become very focused, and in fact, the key to creative genius is to be defocused. Psychologists call it "defocused attention," where you broaden your horizons, let your mind float and drift a bit. Coffee keeps us sharp and alert. It's great if you're driving at 3 o'clock in the morning. It's not so great if you're trying to come up with the next violin concerto.
Paul Solman: So coffee isn't good for the day dreaming of genius, but it's good for focusing on interaction.
Eric Weiner: The coffeehouse is good for genius, and the Viennese coffeehouse is a classic case. Freud had his favorite coffee shop, and so did Gustav Klimt. If you walk into a coffee shop in 1903 Vienna, you might find at the same table the artist Gustav Klimt, Sigmund Freud, Leon Trotsky and possibly Adolf Hitler, who lived in Vienna at the same time.
Paul Solman: I don't think they were going to invite Hitler over to their table, really.
Eric Weiner: Probably not, but they were all in Vienna at the same time. You had world's colliding and it's colliding in the coffeehouse.
It was really the Internet of its day. It's where people went to get the news, it's where they went to share ideas. And it's where they went to say the sort of things they couldn't say in the office or even at home.
Paul Solman: So we should have more coffeehouses?
Here's a product of some of that genius. Museum visitors study Gustav Klimt's 1907 painting "Adele Bloch-Bauer I." Eric Weiner explains that Klimt, like his fellow geniuses of the day, found creativity in coffee shops across Vienna. Photo by Chris Pizzello/Reuters
Eric Weiner: Yes! I think we should have more coffeehouses, more cafes, more "third places." More places where people can get together that's not work, not home, and where they can interact with people who are different from them.
Paul Solman: But we have a Starbucks on every corner, and on some street corners, we have two of them.
Eric Weiner: Well, have you heard of the Starbucks effect? So right now what do you hear?
Paul Solman: I hear a buzz, I hear clinking.
Eric Weiner: You hear a buzz, a background noise which I'm willing to bet is near 70 decibels. They've done studies. What is the ideal audio atmosphere for creativity and it turns out it is not complete silence, and it is not a very loud atmosphere, it's something just like this — about 70 decibels. The sort of sound level that you would find in a Starbucks or another coffee shop because it defocuses your attention. Have you ever found that when you're stuck on something creatively, you can't solve a problem, you go to a coffee shop? People don't go to Starbucks for the coffee — of that I'm pretty sure — they go for the atmosphere, they go for the 70 decibels, they go for the Starbucks effect.
Paul Solman: They go for the Wi-Fi.
Eric Weiner: They go for the Wi-Fi. Again, that's like the coffeehouses of 1900 Vienna. People went for the newspapers that they could read when they got coffee, they went to interact and they went to get out of their own heads. The creative act always requires a stepping back. It's called the incubation period. The incubation period — one of the four phases of creativity — is when you're not consciously thinking of a problem, and you're letting it marinate. So this is why you hear time and again, people saying they had that "Eureka" moment in the bath, like Archimedes, or in the shower, or while going for a walk or in a coffeehouse.
Paul Solman: But in your book you've got an earlier Vienna — the Vienna of Mozart and Beethoven — so what explains that period?
Eric Weiner: Music was literally in the air at the time, the Vienna of 1780. Everybody played music, classical music. There were in fact so many musicians that in apartment buildings people had to come up with a schedule — you practice at 5 p.m., I'll practice at 6 p.m. That way the music didn't collide with one another. Someone like Mozart moves from Salzburg to Vienna, where all of the sudden he finds this musical city that is not only asking for music, it's demanding music of him. And my theory is that a Mozart symphony is very much like a Pixar movie — in the sense that Pixar movies are hugely successful because they operate on several levels at the same time. They appeal to the kids and they appeal to their parents. Likewise, and Mozart says this in one of his letters, I'm writing for two audiences. I'm writing for the connoisseurs who will get it, and I'm writing for the "average man" who will still appreciate it. So you had all these levels of audience going on in Vienna, and you have people like Mozart, Beethoven and Haydn fulfilling a demand in a way. Genius is part of this ecology of creativity, and the audience was a big component of that.
Paul Solman: So you mean that the community is a virtuous circle that then breeds geniuses?
Eric Weiner: It's a magnet. These places are like magnets; they attract people from far and wide. Haydn, Beethoven, Mozart, none of them were born in Vienna. They all moved there. It became a magnet, but what made it magnetized in the first place? There has to be a seed there. In the case of Vienna of about 1780, it was this deep-seated love of music.
But you need a seed. You need some reason why Beethoven, Mozart and Haydn in the 18th century all flocked to Vienna. What was it about Vienna? They must have known on some level that that is where they would flourish. It's what biologists call "selective migration." When a species migrates somewhere, because it senses that it will thrive there. And these geniuses sensed that Vienna was the place to be, because the music was literally in the air. Everybody was a musician, the emperor was a musician, and the average street sweeper was a musician who played the violin or the piano and who went to concerts — some of whom were free in the park — and who were very demanding of their composers. Don't forget that Mozart worked on commission. He almost always would write something if he knew exactly who was paying for it and where it would be performed. So you can't really separate the creation of genius from the appreciation of it. It's almost like the city of Vienna was a co-genius that worked alongside Mozart and Beethoven and the rest.

Padres in the Arizona Fall League
by Geoff Young on Nov 18, 2010
As I noted the other day, we drove to Phoenix this past weekend to catch some Arizona Fall League action. One of the games featured the Peoria Saguaros, for whom several Padres minor leaguers play.
Unfortunately, none of those players is a top prospect. Three Padres farmhands participated in Saturday evening's contest against the Phoenix Desert Dogs:
Catcher Luis Martinez started and batted seventh. He grounded to second base in his only at-bat before being replaced in the fourth inning (looked like he took a foul tip off the hand). Martinez also committed an error, throwing a ball into center field on a stolen base attempt by Phoenix center fielder Trayvon Robinson in the first inning. The throw was strong but tailed back into the runner, and the fielder covering had no chance to make the play.
Left-hander Colt Hynes worked a perfect fifth. Facing the top of the Desert Dogs order, he induced two groundouts to shortstop and fanned DH Michael Taylor on three pitches. Hynes threw 9 pitches, 8 for strikes. Mrs. Ducksnorts had a good view of a scout's radar gun and said Hynes' fastball was running 87-91 mph.
Right-hander Brad Brach, enjoying an otherwise solid AFL stint, had a disastrous sixth. His release point was all over the place and he had trouble throwing quality strikes. Brach faced eight batters and four of them scored. His first pitch resulted in a homer to left-center off the bat of Stephen Parker. The next batter, Ivan DeJesus Jr., walked on four pitches. An error, broken-bat double, and single concluded Brach's nightmare. I didn't get radar readings for him, but he threw 23 pitches, 10 of which were strikes. Brach was a little unlucky: His first baseman, Carlos Ruiz, took a routine grounder off the bat of Cory Harrilchack and, trying to do too much, launched his throw to second into left field. And Matt Wallach's double came on one of Brach's better pitches of the evening.
Other Padres-related sightings:
Former Padres catcher Mark Parent is the hitting coach for the Mesa Solar Sox; former Padres right-hander Ricky Bones (he of the one-hit wonders) is their pitching coach.
Former Padres left-hander Kevin Walker (!) is the pitching coach for the Peoria Javelinas… I feel older every day; not coincidentally, I am older every day.
Former Padres bench coach Ted Simmons is the manager of the Peoria Saguaros; even though Simmons now works for the Seattle Mariners, he still wore a Padres uniform, which seemed kind of weird.
Jason Kipnis, whom the Padres selected in the fourth round of the 2008 draft but did not sign, played second base and went 4-for-4 for the Peoria Javelinas; I've covered him in detail in my Hardball Times article, but yeah, he'd come in handy right about now.
Grant Green, the Padres 14th-round pick in 2006, started at shortstop for the Desert Dogs and did nothing; he's having a terrible AFL.
Food, music, and what not (some people may not wish to read this part; I take no offense, just kindly skip past):
We ate at Cracker Barrel twice and, on the recommendation of a couple of readers, stopped for date shakes at Dateland; it was well worth the extra 10 minutes.
We listened to New Pornographers and Neko Case (mentioned in Part 4 of "I Almost Prayed in Albuquerque"), Thievery Corporation, Massive Attack, The Grays (featuring Jason Falkner, whose music appears in Part 8 of "I Almost Prayed in Albuquerque"), Air (with whom Falkner toured in 2002), Adele, and Elliott Smith; it's all good stuff — I would never steer you toward crappy music.
That's all the relevant information… and some that isn't so relevant. It's who I am, it's what I do…
Tagged as: adele, air, arizona fall league, brad brach, colt hynes, cracker barrel, elliott smith, grant green, jason falkner, jason kipnis, kevin walker, luis martinez, mark parent, massive attack, neko case, new pornographers, peoria, phoenix, ricky bones, ted-simmons, the grays, thievery corporation
The AFL used to be a venue for giving prospects extra work and development time. I remember reading of several clubs not seeing eye to eye with AFL teams' management over how their better prospects were used. Does it look like major league teams aren't trusting their prized prospects to AFL teams, sending only marginal players on the bubble for one last chance to impress?
I wouldn't go that far, Larry. There are some awfully good players in the AFL this year. Revere, Hosmer, Belt, Sanchez, Brett Jackson, Kipnis, Ackley, Green (bad AFL, but still a good prospect), Bryce Harper, and some others. Teams may be more careful with pitchers in the AFL nowadays, but the position prospects aren't only, or even mostly, marginal kids.
I've seen Brach pitch twice, and both times his mechanics looked awful, like Nuke LaLoosh without the velocity. Batters might be distracted by that, and I'm definitely no scout, but his delivery looked more "crazy" than "deceptive" to me.
November 18, 2010 • 11:51 am
re: Luis Martinez … I saw him 1 game at San Antonio … and came away impressed … it seems very likely he'll play in MLB … so he's as real of a prospect as Dirk Hayhurst was
re: Mark Parent … do you remember the first time you saw Mark Parent? I will never forget that moment! He is a BIG guy!

In the past few years point-and-click adventure games have essentially vanished from mainstream gaming. Many look back at Monkey Island 2 and wonder why this genre has faded away, especially when you see how massively popular this game was. It's great story telling and adventure is still praised to this day. Having said that, I avoided any possible spoilers in this video.
If you are interested in this game you can download the special edition on Steam. Alternatively you could play your original copy using ScummVM (http://www.scummvm.org/).


Printed buildings: Is this construction's digital future?
Digital design tools have been at the heart of building design for decades, but construction itself has remained a stubbornly manual process. In 2018, Arup and CLS Architetti of Italy proved that a combination of 3D printing robotics could change all that.
Watch this video: The house featured a demanding design, with curved walls and a living area, kitchen and bathroom. It was assembled on a busy Milan square in just two weeks for the 2018 Salone del Mobile Design Festival.
If the robot is your labourer, the virtual design model is its brain. It powers the robot's 3D printing arm to reproduce the design in concrete. Bringing the model onsite also allowed architects, engineers, and specialists to collaborate and resolve issues in real time without needing to cross-reference multiple models.
Developing a concrete mix that could keep pace with the super-human speed of the 3D printer and dry in record time was another challenge. Our materials experts virtually modelled concrete mixes and drying times to ensure the physical structure could in fact become reality.
Although concrete is a naturally sustainable building material, the real benefit is how little waste is involved during construction. The precision of the printing process ensures every centimetre of material is used, making it significantly easier to calculate how much will be needed in the first place. Given 32% of landfill waste is currently generated by the construction industry, this alone is a great advance. We are also experimenting with recycled concrete and natural fibres as building materials, both of which might bring down costs and allow materials to be sourced locally.
Instead of being confined to printing uniform elements in one place, the CyBe Construction RC 3Dp Robot is agile and can produce unique, curved elements at the construction site. In this case – a busy city square in Milan. The robotic arm can also create two storey buildings rapidly, extending up to 4.5 metres into the air. With so much creative flexibility, it's easy to understand why there is a growing desire in the industry to expedite widespread adoption of 3D printing.
Projects like this demonstrate how new technologies and creative thinking can address long standing challenges. From duplicative structural models to housing shortages, we have a unique opportunity to rapidly test and discover new (and improved) ways to redefine the built environment.
This project demonstrates that concrete 3D printing is now ready to create large scale complex structures.
Amsterdam's robot printed steel bridge is a 12-metre long design masterpiece with curved, raw steel balustrades that belie its high-tech origins.


ESPN is reporting that Phil is gone. It's officially a "step down" rather than a "pack your stuff and leave." Presser is supposed to happen sometime later today. As for a replacement, I humbly suggest Kevin Ramsey.
At least there's something to smile about today. More to follow.
-- More from Volquest.com including these stats: "Sources indicated that Fulmer's fate had been sealed even before the team lost its 20th game since 2005. The Vols are just 3-9 in their last 12 against Alabama, Georgia and Florida. Further, against the Southeastern Conference's "Big 5" of Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Georgia and LSU they are just 12-21 since 2001."
-- Tennessee has not launch a formal coaching search for head football coach since 1976, and they haven't been outside of the Vol Nation for a head coach since then either. Fulmer was on the coaching staff for Johnny Majors when Majors was fired. Majors, who was also a UT alum, started at Tennessee in 1977.
-- The Vols have only hired outside of the SEC once since 1963.
-- UT has only been without a UT alum as head coach for about 14 total years since General Neyland retired following the 1952 season.
I am not sure how good this is for us, because my suspicion is that Cutcliffe is the natural successor for the job and he'd be a fool not to take it if it was offered to him.
If that occurs, I'm fairly certain it won't be good for us. Yes, we handled him at Ole Miss, but relatively speaking his talent ceiling there was considerably less than it will be at UT.
I'd much prefer a doddering Fulmer on the sideline for a couple more years while Cutcliffe built up enough of a resume to have a larger CFB power take him away from Duke rather than this.
What does that say about us as a team and a fanbase that we would rather see a "doddering" Fulmer roam the sidelines than a smarter, better coach???
Why is Georgia now so soft and freaful? Why doesn't anyone fear us? And when is this going to change?
If you don't know who Kevin Ramsey is, consider yourself lucky.
Kevin Ramsey was UGA's defensive coordinator in '99. He came from UT. There was no single thing that got Donnan fired. But that was one of the two or three biggest things that ended his tenure.
Anon: I am not sure how to take your comment.
First off, I speak for myself, not any part of the Georgia fan base.
It seems self-evident that teams have up and down cycles, usually connected to who their coach is. I don't think it's any accident that FSU and Tenn's declines in recent years have coincided with Richt keeping more Georgia players in-state. By the same token, Miami and FSU are being killed by the fact that Meyer is getting whomever he wants. UCLA can't get any LA talent at the moment because USC gets it all.
Perhaps you would rather (hypothetically, of course) see Neyland coaching UT, Dye coaching Auburn, Bryant coaching 'Bama (and UK, for that matter), Vaught coaching Ole Miss, Holtz coaching Ark, Spurrier coaching Fla (and USC, of course), and Saban coaching LSU--and, what the hell, Heisman coaching GT, all of which would make it harder to beat them on a CFB Saturday, and many of whom would cut into our natural recruiting base--just so we could beat them all with less talent and prove our manhood. But that's not the best way to achieve success on the football field.
Did you find this year's win over UT disappointing because their OC had left and they replaced him with an inferior model? Because I prefer what happened this year to what happened the two before it.
He makes $1.5 million at Duke, and he has no meaningful pressure to win. He's 54 years old with a history of heart problems.
If he takes the job at UT, he's an idiot. The extra $2 million that UT would pay him wouldn't do him much good in the grave.
Also, depending on what you believe, Kevin Ramsey was fired at halftime of the '99 Auburn game after we were toasted like we've never been before. Then, maturely got in a fight with Donnan in his office a few days later.
It could get worse than the Kevin Ramsey year followed by 2000, but I'm not sure how.
Granted Saturday was the worst loss of the Richt era (by far in my opinion), but lets all take a deep breath, look at UT's program and be glad UGA's program is in as good of shape as it is.
That said, the talking heads on Rivals radio were discussing UGA in a similar light to Texas' purgatory (10 win seasons, no BCS championships) before 2005. Here's hoping our program gets that tough mentality required to become a top notch contender.
The talent is here, the coaching staff is in place, the schemes (as much as we complain, arent entirely to blame for these brain fart halves of football) are good enough. Look in the mirror Dawgs. Sooner or later a senior class or group of leaders will help us make a "Boss Bailey-Pollack-Stinchcomb 2002" caliber program leap.
Until then, we better get used to Tampa, Dallas and New Orleans when it doesnt matter.
PWD: With all due respect, if Cutcliffe were overly worried about his health he would not be a football coach in any capacity. My guess is that he has enough money that he'd never have to work another day in his life if he so chose. So, in that respect I'd say you're right, insofar as I can't imagine that's what motivates him.
But I'd guess what motivates him is that coaches want to win; specifically, college coaches want to win national championships. Cutcliffe can't do that at Duke, but he can do it at Tennessee.
I can think of very few attractive coaches who have refused to step up at some point given the opportunity. Of the top of my head, I can only think of Edwards at BYU, and Beamer at VT. Edwards never would have left BYU, and Beamer, in essence, brought VT to the top of CFB. So neither really fits the example here. Even guys like Mason or Petrino turn down a bigger job one year, and then take a different one the next year.
Cutcliffe may stay at Duke in the short term, but I can't imagine he'll stay there long, whether he takes the UT job or not. But, either way, it won't make him an idiot, but rather just a typical CFB coach.
That was convincing. Sign me up, I'd much rather lose to a good UT team every year than beat a bad one. Well stated.

I asked myself that same question after starting to take photography more seriously, but as soon as I started attending workshops and legitimizing my business, in addition to honing my craft, I quickly realized why the wonderful world of photography can be so expensive, but also why it's worth it.
Before I even booked my first wedding, I was attending business and photography workshops. The speakers always gave tips and advice and the phrase "and it's only like a hundred dollars!" became repetitive. However, when you add up all those "it's only like a hundred dollars" it starts to get very pricey. Here is a list I've compiled of all the types of expenses that wedding photographers incur and why what you're paying them is legitimate and maybe even a steal.
Photography equipment itself can range from the hundreds to the thousands of dollars for professional equipment. As a wedding photographer, one must have a backup of EVERYTHING to ensure that there are no mishaps on someone's big day. For myself, I have at least two of everything.
A photographer has all of this expensive equipment, which means they probably also have insurance on it. With weddings comes much liability. Professional wedding photographers have insurance for their equipment as well as their businesses. You never know if a drunk guest is going to stumble and knock your camera out of your hand or spill their drink on it. Professional businesses also operate legally meaning paying taxes in addition to the cost of business licences, etc.
Remember those workshops and conferences I mentioned? They don't come cheap either. Some can range from a few hundred dollars to thousands. However, it's important for creative business owners to continually be learning – not just about photography, but also about how to run a business successfully and legally.
Everything costs something – websites, packaging, shipping said packages, client gifts, paying second shooters, professional memberships and business management systems. Travel expenses and even babysitters can also incur for photographers on a wedding day. Other small costs come about from normal office expenses, advertising, repairs, phones, online galleries, treating clients to coffee or lunch, domain names, branding and the list could go on and on. If the photographer shoots film, the list is even longer.
This list of expenses does not even begin to touch on the life expenses that a full time photographer needs to keep up with. For example, groceries, rent/ mortgage, and utility bills are expenses we all have. Odds are, average costs of wedding photographers may be higher for a photographer in the city as opposed to one in a remote area.
These five reasons should speak for themselves, but you may have forgotten that there is also the cost for the photographer's time and talent. This isn't a job that just anyone can do and be successful. Hopefully, the main reason you are hiring your photographer is because you appreciate their personality, stylistic approach to photography, and the excellent customer service they offer. Your wedding photos will be the only thing that lasts once the day is done. These should be images that captured your wedding day fully so that you can look back often and remember what a special day it was.
Holly Von Lanken is an Atlanta, Georgia based wedding photographer who strives to fully capture a wedding day in an organic and natural style with a photojournalistic approach to photography.

Crews rescue painter after commercial lift catches fire
Crews spent the better part of Wednesday night trying to remove a lift truck that caught fire and left a painter trapped in an elevated bucket.
By: Whitney Miller
CINCINNATI — Crews spent the better part of Wednesday night trying to remove a lift truck that caught fire and left a painter trapped in an elevated bucket.
The Cincinnati Fire Department said firefighters were dispatched to Parkland Theatre after a commercial lift struck power lines, catching on fire. A painter was trapped in the bucket of the lift about 25 feet above ground. He was rescued with the help of a Duke Energy operator, only enduring some smoke inhalation.
CFD District Chief Todd Stegmuller said the fire happened across the street from Cincinnati Fire Dept. Station 50, so crews were quickly able to rush next door to put out the flames.
"They heard something happening and then people were pounding on the door," Stegmuller said. "They tried to extinguish the fire, but the electric was on the ground so they couldn't use water. So we used dry chemicals to try to control it until we get the electric turned off."
The painter was stuck in the lift for about 30 minutes as crews worked to help him. Because Duke Energy had to shut off the power for the crews, power was out for much of the neighborhood.

Donna Fliehman came outside when her power went out.
"It scared me," Fliehman said. "So I walked real slow. I didn't want to get too close."
Fliehman said she was shocked to see the historic building surrounded by chaos.
"A real nice theater," Fliehman said. "They put all new seats in this...it was nice. I imagine it's pretty smoky right now."
The theater was built in 1881 and was recently being repainted for its reopening and the premiere of "Ghostbusters: Afterlife." Owner Ed Miller said the fire did not make its way into the theater, but did damage part of the bar. The power was cut to the entire building, including upstairs apartments. No one was seriously hurt, and Miller said they will try the premiere again Friday once everything is cleaned.
All power in Sayler Park was restored around 8 p.m. Wednesday minus the theater's, which will be restored once the lift is removed.
CFD said the estimated damage of the fire was $56,940.

The Big Bang Theory S8E5 - "The Focus Attenuation" Recap
The guys notice that they haven't been inventing much lately and Sheldon tells them it's because they've been distracted by their girlfriends. They decide to have a weekend retreat at which they will brainstorm ideas for new inventions. Sheldon tells Penny about their weekend and Penny immediately asks Bernadette and Penny if they'd like to have a girls' weekend in Las Vegas, which they all agree to.
When the boys meet to brainstorm, they briefly get distracted by the idea of watching the Facebook movie but Leonard gets them back on track. The boys go through their notebooks of old brainstorming ideas and find such as robot girlfriends and robot prostitutes, along with other ideas that involve devices to have sex with. They propose trying to come up with inventions similar to the ones seen in Back to the Future Part II and then decide to watch the film.
The girls are preparing to go out for a night of drinking and merriment when Penny gets a message that means she'll have to study for her job, so Bernadette and Amy leave without her, enjoying massive cocktails.
The boys begin discussing their theories regarding the theoretical time travel within Back to the Future Part II. It's all very serious and intellectual, considering it's a fictional universe. They decide to go to the lab in the hopes that it will be conducive to their brainstorming but they find themselves distracted yet again by various tangents and videos on the internet.
Bernadette and Amy return to the hotel room drunk, while Penny is still studying away. They tell Penny they want her to come with them to a strip club but Penny says she needs to stay put and continue studying.
The boys have put duct tape on each other's arms with the intent that they'll tear a strip off when they become distracted. But the positive punishment is ineffective. They become distracted by the opening scene of Ghostbusters and Leonard scolds them for the fact that they have wasted hours procrastinating. Then end up going back to the apartment and finishing watching Ghostbusters.
The girls have all gone out to the strip club together. Penny is still studying while Bernadette and Amy are carrying on drinking and partying. The following morning, Penny asks the girls if they want to come to the pool with her but Bernadette and Amy are too hungover to do so.
The Big Bang Theory airs on Mondays on CBS at 8PM until it returns to its regular Thursday timeslot on October 30.

Босні́йсько-По́дринський канто́н Го́ражде (, , ) — офіційна назва п'ятого з десятьох кантонів Федерації Боснії і Герцеговини, яка є частиною Боснії і Герцеговини.

Географія
Розташований у східній частині країни, у регіоні Подринє, бувши майже анклавом боснійської частини на території сербської. З площею 504,6 км² кантон займає 1,93 % загальної території Федерації.

Історія
Археологічні розкопки підтверджують, що територія міста Горажде Боснійсько-Подринського кантону була заселена ще за кам'яної доби та римського періоду. У Середньовіччі місто Горажде вперше згадується в 1397 році.

Османи захопили цю територію в 1465 році і контролювали її до 1878 року, коли територію Боснійсько-Подринського кантону зайняла Австро-Угорщина. Під час Першої та Другої світової війни населення цієї території зазнало багато страждань. Після закінчення Другої світової війни територія Боснійсько-Подринського кантону стала частиною південно-східного регіону Боснії та Герцеговини та її адміністративним, економічним та культурним центром.

Під час війни в Боснії та Герцеговині Горажде був єдиним містом на Дрині, яке зуміло захистити себе. Ситуація ускладнювалася й тим, що воно було отчене сербськими територіями й фактично був боснякським анклавом. Запеклий бій за місто відбувся в 1992 році, а єдиним способом для Горажде отримати необхідну їжу та зброю був знаменитий «Шлях порятунку» Грепци. За Дейтонськими угодами Горажде став центром Боснійсько-Подринського кантону. У 2001 році назву було змінено на Боснійсько-Подринський кантон Горажде.

Адміністративно-територіальний поділ
Адміністративним центром кантону є Горажде, тому він відомий також і під назвою Горажденсько-Подрінський (офіційна назва до 2001 р.). Кантон складається з громад Горажде, Палє-Прача та Фоча-Устіколіна.

Політичний устрій
Боснійсько-Подринський кантон та ще 9 кантонів входять до Федерації Боснія і Герцеговина. Межує з Сараєвським кантон, а східна частина — з Республікою Сербською. Керує кантоном уряд з 8-ми міністрів, на даний час посаду прем'єр-міністра займає Салко Обогаш.

Законодавчим органом Кантону є Кантональна Асамблея, яка складається з 25 депутатів. Депутати обираються за системою відкритих списків на загальних виборах у Боснії і Герцеговині. Партія демократичних дій, за кількістю мандатів, на даний час є провідною політичною партією в Боснійсько-Подринському кантоні Горажде.

Населення
За оцінкою 2013 р. кантон налічує близько 23 734 жителя.

Кантон майже повністю моноетнічний. Більш ніж 98 % населення кантону становлять босняки.

Економіка
У довоєнний період муніципалітет Горадже був одним з найрозвиненіших у кантоні. Так, на фабриці УНІС працюють понад 10 000 робітників. У зв'язку з війною на жодній з фабрик УНІС не працювало понад 100 робітників. Старі ділові контакти було втрачено, а у зв'язку руйнацією та зношенням обладнання було неможливо розпочати повномасштабне виробництво. В аналогічній або в складнішій ситуації опинилися муніципалітети Пале-Прача та Фоча-Устиколіна. В осанні роки економічна ситуація в кантоні покращилася, але наслідки війни ще повністю не подолані.

Дороги знаходяться в незадовільному стані, залізниця відсутня.

Освіта
У Боснійсько-Подринському кантоні фунціонують 6 початкових та 3 середні школи. На території общини Горажде знаходяться 4 початкові школи, серед яких — дві в однойменному місті, 1 — у Витковичимах та 1 — в Іловачи. У муніципалітетах Пале-Прача та Фоча Устиколіна знаходяться по одній початковій школі. Також змішана середня школа, середня технічна школа та середній професійний технікум у Горажді. Освіта в Боснійсько-Подринському кантон як і раніше стикається з багатьма труднощами.

Do you remember her in The Secret? You just announced wonderful news
The absolute protagonist of the first seasons of Il Segreto, Megan Montaner has announced wonderful news: the fans are over the moon.
It was 2013 when, in Italy, the first episode of a soap was aired which has become one of the most loved ever. Let's talk about The secret, the Spanish telenovela that kept viewers company for almost ten years. Ten years of emotions, twists, intrigues and captivating plots: the closure of the series has been a bad blow for viewers. Which they will always have in their hearts Sweet Pepa.
Pepa in The Secret (Credits Youtube) – Sologossip
This is the absolute protagonist of the first seasons of the soap opera: the secret, mentioned in the title, concerned the young midwife, so hated by Francisca Montenegro. The tormented love story with Tristan made the audience dream, but today we're talking about another love story. Which is not about Pepa, but about the wonderful actress who gave her her face. It's about Megan Montaner, famous actress, protagonist of many successful series, including Grand Hotel, also broadcast on Canale 5. What happened to the splendid actress in the last few days? The announcement is very sweet!

Farnham District Scouts go bananas
Farnham District Scouts have received a £10,000 donation from the Shanly Foundation as part of their fundraising campaign Garners goes Bananas. The campaign aims to raise £133,000 to upgrade their Garners Field facilities.
Used by hundreds of Scouts from the Farnham District from ages 5½ to 25, the Garners Field site can accommodate a range of activities such as canoeing, archery and forest skills. The Shanly Foundation's donation will go towards building an extension that will host a first aid and quiet room alongside new toilets and showers with disabled access. The current kitchen will also be upgraded to be more user-friendly with hygienic floor and wall coverings.
The water supply of the campsite is currently shared with Surrey West Guides. However, the Garners goes Bananas campaign is aiming to install an environmentally friendly rainwater harvesting system, collecting the water from the roof of the activity centre and then storing it to be used in both old and new toilet blocks.
District Commissioner, Philip German, said; "For 40 years, Garners Field Campsite has given young people lifelong memories of outdoor fun and adventure and now it's time to help future generations to enjoy our local countryside. Groups have come from as far as Cornwall to use the site, as well as those participating in Duke of Edinburgh. We thank the Shanly Foundation for this most generous grant."
To date, the Garners goes Bananas campaign has raised £73,000. To find out more about the campaign or if you would like to donate, please visit garnersfield.uk

A Tomahawk teen will stand trial in the March death of a gas station clerk. 18-year-old Derek Domke was bound over for trial Thursday on charges he robbed the Zephyr gas station and killed clerk Rochelle Anderson.
Forensic pathologist Dr. Michael Stiers testified that Anderson's death was "overkill" because she was stabbed in the back after already being severely beat in the head. Stiers says the multiple stab wounds showed a "clear intent" for Domke to end Anderson's life.
Investigators found a bloody handprint at the crime scene. Jerry Kotajarvi testified that he positively matched the print to Domke. He says the print was clear and could not belong to anyone other than Domke. Tomahawk police Chief Don Johnson testified Domke could not explain how his handprint got there.
Domke is charged with armed robbery and first-degree intentional homicide. He faces life in prison if convicted. He will be arraigned June 23rd.

When it comes to cybersecurity, rely on national industries it is not just a way to underpin the creation and growth of Italian new enterprises in the context of a booming market but is also the best way to enhance the general security of Italy in the new digital era.
This is the key message of the conference held by ICSA Foundation which took place in Rome on 30 of November, in the very charming venue of the "Sala della Regina" at Montecitorio Palace, the Italian Parliament's headquarters, entitled "Cybersecurity made in Italy – L'industria nazionale della cyber intelligence e dell'information security".
The President of ICSA Foundation, gen. Leonardo Tricarico, during the opening speech, said that he really hopes that in the foreseeable future the excellent Italian companies, often successful abroad, can be put in a position to implement the Italian security as well. The chairman of the Conference, Domenico Vulpiani, councilman of ICSA Foundation and former chief of Postal Police and coordinator for information security and critical infrastructure office, remarked that within a borderless and ownerless area, like the web, it is crucial not just to be able to defend but mostly to prevent.
After the introductory remarks the chairman of the conference, Vulpiani, gave the floor to some representatives of the cybersecurity industry in Italy (among which Negg, Selta, Neutrino, Aizoon, Gyala, S&A, Cpm Elettronica, Telsy).
Francesco Taccone, CEO of Negg, invited as speaker at the conference, said: "The using of alien software for national security operations means providing the key to our country to an outsider. Priority should be given to Italian companies active in the field of cybersecurity because they compliance with Italian legislation and regulations at all levels and so it is easier to keep control. At Negg, according to our specific policy, we develop in-house all our products. We do not use software of other companies, especially the foreign ones. Our engineers develop all along our products. Nowadays the communications are encrypted and it becomes increasingly difficult for the Institutions to decode them. For this very reason, we are strongly committed in supporting the Italian Governament and other friendly Governements in their intelligence operations to fight against terrorism and organized crime. It would be really a great achievement if all the national companies and the public sector would be able to create a common strategy to manage risky situations not just for the Italian Governament but also for other countries".

It's time to go East! After five rounds of West Coast racing, the first venture into the snowy East Coast is upon us. It's a bit strange that the area with the worst weather will offer the best racetrack (outside of Glendale), but that's the upside of a dome. Last year's blizzard was a complete disaster for everyone trying to travel to and from the event, but the racing was great. It's going to be cold but hopefully the snow stays away and the event is smooth overall.
I am interested to see how the dirt shapes up this weekend. Minneapolis has been frozen for a month or two with temperatures reaching -40 degrees. That has to take a toll on the soil but exactly what effect it has is yet to be seen. Was the dirt exposed to the snow? How early did it get brought inside? I am also curious to see what measures the crew takes with any drying agents if the dirt is indeed wet or frozen. After last weekend's issues, I doubt they will be allowed to use much of anything. All of that could contribute to a very rutty Minneapolis racetrack.
The start in Minny is great. It's long, wide, and has the best variation of first turns. There will be room for riders to maneuver and the inside and outside gates will both have a chance. The first rhythm could get dicey, though, as there are a few big combinations to put together. This layout shares many similarities with Glendale and this first section is one. I believe the most common line will be 2-3-3 but I think we will see riders like Justin Brayton, Dean Wilson, and Blake Baggett try some more creative options. If they can throw in a wheel tap or change the rhythm, they might be able to make time or passes here.
The next 90-degree left leads into a dragon's back and onto the mechanics' area, which crosses the start. That blasts into an open 180, another Glendale similarity, and back across the starting line again. A 90 right leads to a rhythm and I believe riders will cut across the inside of the corner and then go 2-3-2 into another 180. The only whoops section is up next and I expect these to get broken down significantly. The fastest line in the main event could very well be to jump through these so watch for Marvin Musquin and Cooper Webb to test the waters several times. Musquin is lethal when he can put a line together that allows him to jump in and jump almost out of the whole whoops section.
Riders will careen back down the start straight and into a 180 before the finish line jump. I would anticipate block passes in both the 180 exiting the whoops and also just before the finish. There is a small double after the finish and into a flatter 180. The next section is interesting and has two options. First, riders can hop the small double and then 3-3 or even 3-2-1 if they want to stay inside in the following corner. The more interesting option would be to wheelie the small first jump and then double across the gap, then go 3-2. That would allow them to stay lower and faster through the section. How the jumps are built, ruts, angles, etc. will all dictate this.
The final section is identical to Glendale with a standard supercross triple into a flat 90 left and back onto the first straight.
What's the end game for lime-gate?
Was San Diego the beginning of a Tomac run?
Who will fire the first East Coast 250 salvo?
Does Cooper Webb bounce back?
Can I survive in -17-degree weather?
What's the record for coffee consumption in one weekend and can I break it?
The usual suspects of Eli Tomac, Marvin Musquin, and Ken Roczen rose to the top last weekend.
Justin Bogle looked to have a podium spot locked up but a heroic last couple of laps put Musquin past him and even ahead of Roczen at the checkers.
Chad Reed is opportunistic, using his mud skills to jump up to fifth on Saturday.
Monster Energy/Pro Circuit Kawasaki went 1-2 in San Diego and have two of the title favorites entering Minneapolis.
Several riders' private areas after a challenging San Diego event.
Justin Barcia had a mechanical issue and only finished a couple of laps in San Diego's mudfest.
The entire city of Minneapolis is not hot. With temps dipping well below zero, hot might not even be possible.
Enzo Lopes is having a case of the Mondays on every Saturday.
Zach Osborne was scheduled back for Minneapolis but will miss another week or two.
I mention how cold it is somewhere around 335 times throughout the weekend.
The soft dirt needing lime creates a real conundrum.
Martin Davalos wins his heat race.
Steve Matthes loses his voice telling everyone how great A-Mart will do.
Kirk Cousins does an interview during opening ceremonies and somehow throws an interception.
Kyle Peters is VERY CAREFUL riding to and from the track (he tore his ACL on the ice last year at this race).

Home › Blog › Benefits of OpenID
Benefits of OpenID
I jumped on the OpenID (wiki) bandwagon a few months ago when I realized that, through its widespread adoption and use, we may one day never have to register (and thus memorize or record) a username and password for every single website we want to interact with. However, benefits of OpenID are not only for users -- there are huge advantages to both the website developer and website owner as well.
What does OpenID mean for me as a user? Well, do you have an account with Yahoo/Flickr, Google, MySpace, LiveJournal, or AOL/AIM? I shouldn't even ask, since 99% of you probably use one or more of those companies on a daily basis. And while you might not realize it, that means that you already have an OpenID! Any website you visit that supports OpenID Logins or Signups will accept your OpenID, and you will not have to register a unique username/password combination for that site.
Perhaps you don't care much about this because maybe you use the same exact username and password for every different web service you visit, to keep things simple. If that's the case, there is a possible security risk in doing this: suppose one of the sites that you're signed up with gets hacked (which can happen to websites even as big as monster.com), and suppose your username/email/password combination is obtained my a malicious party -- that malicious party may attempt to access your information on other popular websites via that same username/password combination. The information may even be sold to others who might continue those attempts. If the hacked site happened to be using the OpenID protocol, it would be safe to assume that the data stolen would be limited to data that you shared specifically with that website, and would not open up channels to other websites.
The other advantage for users comes in the form of raw speed. Assuming the website was set up properly, and assuming you have already logged in to your OpenID company-- lets say you logged in to Google or Yahoo to check your mail-- you can log in to the website you're at with just about 2 clicks and little or sometimes NO typing at all. This is because Google and Yahoo already know you're logged in with them, via the use of cookies, so all you have to do is confirm the authorized login with a click of "Yes" or "OK".
What does OpenID mean for me as a developer? As a developer, it saves you the time and effort of developing and maintaining a log-in system for a website, and many of the error-handling and security checks that go with it. The benefits are not huge here because obviously you would still need to store user information specific to your website (preferences and so on), and you'll have to associate that user record with an OpenID, and you'd still have to make sure your OpenID system was working. Regardless, you don't have to worry as much about security with user's identity.
What does OpenID mean for me as a website owner? Although I do not know of any published studies on the subject, I believe that by supporting OpenID log-ins on your website could increase interaction with the site and thus increase popularity or return visitors, simply because the process of logging in becomes faster and safer. Every now and then I come across a blog to which I'd like to post a comment, but requires a registration and I end up leaving the site, annoyed, having not interacted.
Open Nature It is important to note that OpenID is a protocol (and an open one at that, much like HTTP or FTP), not a private service or API such as FaceBook Connect or the Twitter API. The OpenID Foundation exists only to develop and improve the OpenID specification, which is free to use by any individual or company. It's not like you have to be tied to any one company; advanced users can even become their own OpenID provider if they have their own website. This is analagous to running your own FTP or HTTP server.
Gripes
A minor gripe is that the use of OpenID itself does nothing to keep track of websites with which you are interacting, although your own OpenID provider could be modified to track which websites you've logged into; it's just outside of the scope of the specification's purpose.
The specification says nothing about extra information about a user such as e-mail, address, homepage, or photos -- although all of this can be implemented using extensions that would be gracefully dropped on sites that don't support it.
Sometimes websites provide buttons to "Log in with your Google Account" or "Log in with your Yahoo Account", which make the process very user-friendly. Other times they simply provide a box to "Enter your OpenID URL" which many people do not understand. Depending on how that site and/or the OpenID Provider is configured, sometimes simply entering the domain name of your OpenID provider will work, such as yahoo.com or myspace.com (if you have one of those accounts, it works just like that on Rustybrick.com). Other times it won't work and you'll have to enter a longer, non-memorable URL (http://openid.aol.com/YourScreenNameHere or worse, https://www.google.com/accounts/o8/id for Google ).
I believe that to make OpenID more widespread, websites implementing it should assist users with entering their OpenID URLs for the most popular providers, but still allow a custom URL for others.

KRAK. architects: A crooked line engraved in the Southern Cretan landscape. In the Southern part of Crete is designed by Konstantinos Stathopoulos the unique leisure residence Casa Katana.
The idea was inspired by the unique morphology of the plot and the particular characteristics of the site, the rock formations, it's orientation and views. The start was made by closely observing the parameters of the site and asking the right questions. Τhe main factors that influenced the architectural synthesis are the landscape and the southern mediterranean beauty, the views towards the Libyan sea and the climate conditions. In the above factors are added the contemporary needs and amenities that a modern dwelling may possess in order to constitute a state of the art contemporary structure.
One of the main concerns was the residence to be fully integrated in the landscape, living untouched the beauty of the plot. Towards this direction, after lots of sketches, the idea came up in the form of a soft crooked line made by a fleeting watercolour monocondyle. This gesture was developed and engraved in the plot resembling the mark of a sharp yet gentile cut from a Katana sword, thus gave its name Casa Katana.
The movement and sharpness of this crooked archetype takes shape in the form of a continuous concrete blade that delimits the borders of the residence and provides a broader view in two basic directions. All the elements of the composition are constructed in accordance to this crooked trace that acts as the backbone of the residence. The components are designed dynamically in concern of the North west winds that take place in the region and they are sized in a harmonic ratio that provides motion to the whole composition and gives the feeling of a futuristic yet minimal structure. The building has an overall aerodynamic form as it was sculpted from the local winds for years taking a natural in- clination towards East.
Casa Katana is carefully placed above the rock formations of the site and high enough to provide unobstructed views and privacy at the same time. In order to present excellent thermal and sustainable behaviour is partially underground and carefully studied according to the mediterranean-North African climatic conditions, sun light movement and orientation. Natural light and ventilation are being filtered carefully giving a natural feeling and well being to the habitants.
The basic Material is a coloured concrete mixture composed with local aggregates. It's surface is treated to resemble the palette of the landscape and the texture of the rocks . Αt the same time it provides durability, low embodied energy and minimum possible maintenance. In addition the coloured concrete contributes in a monolithic feeling and aesthetic to the structure giving a cave sense to the habitant.
The user approaches the building from the underground, the entrance is transferring the user to the interior where a play of light and shadow unfolds in an experience of discovering. Following the trail of the slab, the living areas and the rooms are revealed, offering stops and views. Since the Cretan climate promotes an outdoor living a large part of the house is dedicated to the outdoor and semi- outdoor spaces in an open layout. Window frames open up to a logic of a semi-outdoor transition so that the whole house operates passively during the summer months.
The habitant is urged to live and explore the natural beauty of Southern Crete combined with a unique architectural experience. The challenge in architecture is to design a residence that combines reason and dream.
A residence must possess the functional character according to the rules of building and bioclimatic design but at the same time must be able to speak to the human soul.
Casa Katana is a refuge in the landscape made of the myths and the soil of the Cretan land. As if it were made to live in its bowels a Minotaur and the engravings of movements, like another thread of Ariadne lead your way inwards and from there back out towards the light of the Libyan Sea.

"Decent shelter is something we all need to thrive." Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter
Habitat for Humanity is a global, nonprofit housing organisation with over 40 years of experience. We empower people in the world's poorest communities to overcome the chronic lack of decent, affordable housing. Since 1976, we have helped 9.8 million people in over 70 countries. In Europe, Middle East and Africa, we have supported more than one million people since 2015.
However, one in four people still live in unacceptable housing conditions.
The problems are varied and complex in Europe, Middle East and Africa. This is why we have a range of solutions tailored to help local people build a better future. For example, our work in Africa might involve enabling small, affordable loans to build houses through our microfinance initiatives. Or in Eastern Europe, we might work with community associations to retrofit decrepit housing.
Our experience, expertise and range of solutions make us a leader in the global housing sector. But we alone can't solve the 'silent emergency', in which so many millions still suffer from poor housing conditions and deprivation. We work in partnership with beneficiaries, volunteers, public and private sector partners, civil society and governments to bring about change to build strong and stable communities.
To learn more about what we do, you can visit our Beyond the Build page.
Habitat's History
The idea that became Habitat for Humanity first grew from the fertile soil of Koinonia Farm, a community farm outside of Americus, Georgia, founded by farmer and biblical scholar Clarence Jordan.
On the farm, Jordan and Habitat's eventual founders Millard and Linda Fuller developed the concept of "partnership housing." The concept centered on those in need of adequate shelter working side by side with volunteers to build decent, affordable houses. The houses would be built at no profit. New homeowners' house payments would be combined with no-interest loans provided by supporters and money earned by fundraising to create "The Fund for Humanity," which would then be used to build more homes.
Beau and Emma were the owners of the first home built by Koinonia's Partnership Housing Program. They and their five children moved into a concrete-block home with a modern kitchen, indoor bathroom and heating system, replacing the unpainted, uninsulated shack with no plumbing where they had previously lived.
In 1973, the Fullers decided to take the Fund for Humanity concept to Zaire, now the Democratic Republic of Congo. After three years of hard work to launch a successful house building program there, the Fullers then returned to the United States and called together a group of supporters to discuss the future of their dream: Habitat for Humanity International, founded in 1976.
The times have changed, the build site locations have grown in number, but the very real change that Beau and Emma's family experienced is shared by families today who partner with Habitat to build or improve a place they can call home. Thanks in no small part to the personal involvement of U.S. President Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn and the awareness they have raised, Habitat now works in nearly 1,400 communities across the U.S. and in approximately 70 countries and has helped 9.8 million people achieve strength, stability and independence through safe, decent and affordable shelter.

Home Politics Man linked to Trump buddy Roger Stone arrested Capitol rebellion
Man linked to Trump buddy Roger Stone arrested Capitol rebellion
Roberto Minuta, photo included as evidence in an arrest warrant
A man connected to Roger Stone – the Republican "filthy con man" who received a pardon from his friend, former President Donald Trump – was arrested on January 6th on criminal charges related to the Capitol uprising .
New York-based Roberto Minuta, who reportedly provided security to Stone in Washington in the hours leading up to the pro-Trump invasion of the Capitol, was arrested Saturday.
Minuta, a tattoo artist in Newburgh, New York with ties to the Oath Guardians right-wing militia group, was released on bail after appearing in federal court in White Plains, New York.
He is accused of obstructing an official process, entering a restricted building or site, and tampering with documents or procedures.
A prosecutor said Minuta admitted to FBI agents that he was in the Capitol during the riot and that he was wearing pepper spray or bear spray that day. He was also seen wearing tactical goggles and gloves and carrying a radio, according to court documents.
These documents also state that when Minuta was leaving the Capitol, he was harassing police officers with other rioters, yelling, "All that's left is the second change," while holding up two fingers. According to prosecutors, Minuta has 10 licensed firearms.
Another man was arrested by the FBI on Saturday at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City for rioting at the Capitol after he was deported by authorities in Kenya.
This man, Isaac Steve Sturgeon, is accused of lifting a metal barricade during the riot, shoving it into the police guarding the complex, and then crawling under it to get into the Capitol before being prevented from entering.
Sturgeon, a 32-year-old lawn care business owner from Dillon, Montana, is due to appear in federal court in Brooklyn Monday for obstruction of justice and obstruction of law enforcement during a civil disorder. The prosecution plans to ask a judge to order the detention without bail pending trial.
A criminal complaint states that Sturgeon traveled to Kenya on January 24th and then bought a ticket for the return flight to the United States on April 5th. The Kenyan authorities booted him out of their country before that date.
On January 16, 2021, the FBI posted Photo No. 104-AFO ("Attack on Federal Officials") on its website and asked the public for assistance in identifying the individuals involved in the Capitol riot. Stör is in the top row on the far right.

More than 200 people have been charged in connection with the uprising that began after a rally at which Trump urged supporters to help fight Congress' s confirmation of Joe Biden as the winner of the 2020 presidential election. Five people, including Capitol Police Officer Brian Sicknick, died in connection with the riot.
Stone is a longtime friend of Trump and a controversial figure in New York and national politics who enjoys a self-identified "dirty trickster" image.
He was convicted in a federal trial in Washington in November 2019 for swearing in Congress that he would get advance information about the disclosure of emails hacked by Russians about Hillary Clinton's campaign manager, then-presidential candidate and the Democratic National Committee in 2016 were campaign.
Trump, who claimed Stone was "a victim of the Russia hoax," commuted Stone's 40-month sentence in July 2020, just days before Stone was jailed.
Trump pardoned Stone in late December, more than a month after losing to Biden in the general election.
That same night, Trump also pardoned Stone's former business partner, Republican adviser Paul Manafort.
Manafort, who had led Trump's 2016 presidential campaign for some time, had been convicted of crimes related to his counseling work in Ukraine.

Kejelcha breaks world indoor mile record with 3:47.01 in Boston
Ethiopia's Yomif Kejelcha smashed the world indoor record for the mile, clocking 3:47.01 at the Bruce Lehane Invitational in Boston, Massachusetts, on Sunday.

It was third time lucky for the 21-year-old, having narrowly missed out on breaking world indoor records in his two previous races.
He finished just 0.01 outside the world indoor mile record at the Millrose Games, clocking 3:48.46, and was then beaten to the world indoor 1500m record in Birmingham one week later when compatriot Samuel Tefera won in 3:31.04.
In Boston, Kejelcha had set himself the target of breaking the world indoor records for both the 1500m and the mile in the same race.
He followed three different pacemakers for the opening laps and passed through 800m in 1:52. Worried the pace wasn't quick enough, he moved past the final pacemaker about two minutes into the race and was then out in front alone.
He was inside 2:51 with two laps remaining and kept up his swift pace for the last 400 metres.
The clock had already ticked over to 3:31 by the time he passed the 1500m checkpoint, but he – and the eager fans – would have to wait until after the race to find out his official split. His immediate concern was reaching the finish line of the mile.
Kejelcha dug in deep and crossed the line in 3:47.01, taking 1.44 seconds off the previous world indoor record set by Hicham El Guerrouj in 1997.
Moments later, his 1500m split was confirmed at 3:31.25, making him the third-fastest indoor performer in history behind Tefera and El Guerrouj.
Kejelcha's mile time is also an outright Ethiopian record, bettering the outdoor mark of 3:48.60 set by Aman Wote.
USA's Johnny Gregorek finished second in 3:49.98, moving to sixth on the world indoor all-time list, just 0.09 shy of Bernard Lagat's North American indoor record.
