The Egyptian people have won. They have successfully, peacefully and non-violently achieved their goal; they got Hosni Mubarak to step down. Mahatma Gandhi would have been proud. The Egyptian people have reasserted, not only for Egypt, but for every country in the world, the idea of government by the people.
But now, they have a bigger task ahead of them. The creation of a real democracy.
What they have achieved is not democracy but freedom from tyranny. Democracy has still to be established and that is what they are grappling with. It is frightening to see their dependence on the army. The military is not grounded on principles of democracy; it follows a strict chain of command and ordinary soldiers do not have a voice in the way the military operates. Ordinary soldiers initiate nothing; they follow orders. So for Egypt to be dependent on an authoritarian institution to create a democracy, is not encouraging.
What the Egyptians must retain from recent events is the understanding that they, the people, have power and they do not give it up simply by casting votes. They have to be vigilant as ordinary citizens and must take action, not after thirty years of autocracy, but immediately the monster begins to raise its head. And it will do so because power corrupts. In present day forms of democracy, people give up their power when they vote. That would be fine if we could trust politicians.
What the Egyptians must cling to is people power. No matter how wonderful a revolutionary leader seems, as a politician he will change; he will forget that he is there because the people put him there. He will see himself as, to put it in Mubarak's words, "the Father of the Nation," and not as the people's representative.
Democracy can no longer operate in the old way where people elect a government and trust them with their welfare. Politicians are not to be trusted. Neither is big business which has never pretended to be democratic. The Press and the Media and an "independent" judiciary are not enough to safeguard democracy.
Institutions that answer directly to the people must be set up to protect the people from politicians. We have to stop corruption right from the start and we have to impress upon politicians that democracy means ensuring that ordinary people have opportunities to develop and that they can obtain basic needs such as decent housing with all the services that that implies and that they are not imprisoned in education systems that lead nowhere.
And it is important to watch the alliances that develop between countries. Countries such as the US create alliances for their own welfare and at the expense of the less developed country in which rulers become puppets on the one hand and dictators on the other. And the pretence that the US uses is that they are extending democracy.
There is no country in the world where people, no matter what their understanding of democracy, are not victims of government and big business. In the developed world, the people have been drugged by consumerism and have become as dependent as people in less developed countries. The main difference is that people in developed countries are not dependent on government for essential services.
There is only one test for democracy: the poverty test. Poverty and corruption walk hand in hand. No poverty, means no corruption. And that means a measure of democracy, where the concept "equal opportunity" is understood and practised..

I've thought of posting recipes for a while, but hesitated. Why? Because I'm not one of those people who really gets excited about this sort of thing. I'm not one who loves cooking. I don't particularly enjoy slaving away for hours over things that disappear in a few minutes. Do you see my bad attitude coming through? So sorry. Don't let it affect you. I hope you love cooking. I wish I did. At least sort of.
that it saves money, adds nutrition, can be nice bonding time with the children, builds character in both them and me, is a valuable life skill for them to learn, etc. And it's not true that food disappears with nothing to show for it, even if it seems like it does. But the bottom line is, I still don't like it. Some do, and some don't, and I don't. It's just who I am. I'd rather be reading, or something else.
That said, I do spend quite a bit of time dealing with food. Why? Because the benefits outweigh the fact that I don't particularly like it.
Part of me thinks, well, since I spend time with this and gain experience I might as well share that with others by sharing recipes. And some part of me thinks it could be fun. But another part of me isn't sure whether I want to. I mean, I spend enough time thinking about food already, right?
I truly enjoy cooking, it's the clean up that catches me.
How about cold cucumber-yogurt soup? :) I love that, but I'm the only one who likes it by itself here. We usually use it as sauce with falafel. But we eat hot soups year-round here w/out much regard for the weather usually. Warm food can seem nicer in cold weather though, I agree.

New York Times thinks Snowden should receive clemency
By Jeff Belanger - January 3, 2014 - no comments Email article | Print article
Through an op-ed piece written on Wednesday night, The New York Times has officially come out and said that they believe that Edward Snowden should receive clemency.
The New York Times is one of America's most influential newspapers, and one that is popular all over the world, and they believe that despite the fact that he did commit a crime, Snowden's actions have been of a greater benefit to the country as a whole.
"Considering the enormous value of the information he has revealed, and the abuses he has exposed, Mr. Snowden deserves better than a life of permanent exile, fear and flight," they wrote in the piece, adding that "he may have committed a crime to do so, but he has done his country a great service."
To bear clear, this opinion piece was not by an individual writer for The New York Times but rather by "the editorial board" of the paper, seemingly suggesting this is the official stance of the Times.
The New York Times now joins the ranks of newspapers in favor of clemency for Snowden, which includes the Los Angeles Times and The Guardian, who have also asked that Snowden receive some form of amnesty.
It is doubtful that President Obama will listen, though. The American public, as a whole, seem to feel this way as well. According to a recent poll, 52% of Americans still think Snowden should be charged and 60% believe he has harmed the security of the nation. Of course we can argue about if polls can accurately be extrapolated the general population, but that is a story for a never time.

Instagram Original
Anna Ben and Tovino Thomas to Feature in Naradhan
By Shrija Ganguly
Picture Credit: Kerala Kaumudi Online Link: https://keralakaumudi.com/en/news/news.php?id=419242&u=
Director Aashiq Abu announced his next film Naradhan on Instagram on Sunday and unveiled the poster of the film.
The film will feature Anna Ben and Tovino Thomas in lead roles. Santhosh T Kuruvila, Aashiq Abu and Rima Kallingal are jointly producing the film.
The actors also uploaded the film's poster on their respective social media handles.
Tovino and Aashiq worked together for the 2013 film Mayaanadhi.
According to a report by The Times of India, a source said the film will be a thriller.
"The film belongs to the genre of thriller. The shoot should commence by the end of December, and the rest of the cast, other than Tovino and Anna Ben, should be finalised by the first week of November," the source told the daily.
Unni R has penned the script and is his first collaboration with the director. Music is being given by DJ Sekhar Menon.
Aashiq Abu directed the 2020 comedy Halal Love Story, which released on Amazon Prime earlier this month. He also helmed Virus, which released last year.
The National Award-winning director also announced another project a few months back- Vaariyumkunnan, a period film. The film revolves around the life of Variyan Kunnathu Kunjahammed Haji, who established a parallel government to fight the British regime during the 1921 Malabar rebellion.

Q: homogeneous polynomials with suitable number of variables that has a non-trivial solution  It is an elementary fact that when the number of variables exceeds the number of linear equations then the system has a nontrivial solution.
I want to know whether there is such thing about homogeneous polynomials of degree $2$ or $3$, that is, for every natural number $n$ there exists $N \in \mathbb{N}$ s.t. for every $m>N$, the system of equations consisting $n$ homogeneous polynomials of degree $2$ in $\mathbb{C}[x_1,...,x_m]$ (or of degree $3$ in $\mathbb{R}[x_1,...,x_m]$ or $\mathbb{C}[x_1,...,x_m]$) has a non-trivial solution?

A: 1) It is not entirely true what you wrote about linear equations. If your equations are contradictory, then no matter how many additional variables you add, you will not find a solution. For instance $x+y=0$, $x+2y=1$, $2x+y=1$ has no solution regardless possible additional variables.
2) If you mean homogenous equations, that is, the constant terms are zero, then your claim is right. Well, it is obviously right since taking all variables to be zero gives you a solution. However, it is true that in this case if the number of variables is larger than the number of equations, then you have a non-trivial solution.
3) For homogenous systems of equations over $\mathbb C$ the same bound holds. Here is why: since it is  homogenous, again, taking all variables to be zero gives a solution. Therefore the hypersurfaces determined by the equations have a common point and by the affine dimension theorem (which is essentially saying that one equation can cut down the dimension of the solution set by at most one) the solution set has positive dimension.
4) Over $\mathbb R$ you run into the problem of not having solutions no matter what. If your equations contain something like $x^2+y^2+...=0$ involving all the variables, then you are out of luck.

"During fiscal 2019 we continued to drive growth in our cloud business and delivered substantial improvement to subscription margins," said Anton Chilton, Chief Executive Officer of QAD. "Our focus on digital transformation brought several new solutions to the market with more to come in the near future. Additionally, our Channel Islands offering strengthens QAD's leadership position in adaptable cloud-based ERP and enhances our long-term growth prospects."
Total revenue for fiscal 2019 reached a record $333 million, compared with $305 million for fiscal 2018. Currency had no meaningful impact on total revenue.

As previously disclosed, the company anticipates that the subscription revenue growth rate will slow at the beginning of fiscal 2020, and re-accelerate toward the end of the year. With an expected decline in professional services revenue, and the ongoing shift of the company's business from licenses to subscription, QAD expects relatively flat total revenue growth for fiscal 2020 despite continued growth of its cloud business.
Total revenue of $78 to $79 million, including $25 to $25.5 million of subscription revenue.
GAAP pre-tax loss of $4 to $5 million.
Non-GAAP pre-tax loss of $1 to $2 million.

The F-350 is a much heavier truck compared to the popular F-150. The F-350 comes with a 1-ton capacity as opposed to the 1/2 ton of the F-150. The Super Duty line has a ride that's stiff and bouncy, especially compared to the F-150. Powertrain choices include a 7.3-liter gasoline engine mated to a 10-speed automatic, as well as a 6.2-liter gas V8 and 6.7-liter V8 turbodiesel which get a six-speed automatic transmission.
We expect the 2022 F-350 to be less reliable than the average new car. This prediction is based on data from 2019 and 2020 models.

The world of automated home gadgets is young and exciting, filled with a vast amount of promising new products. In previous years, the "smart" home was dreamt about, shown only in movies and prototypes. Now, that home is finally a reality with a variety of usable devices, many of which can be controlled from the convenience of a smartphone. Mashable and CNN broke down the benefits that come with the home automation evolution.
Companies that develop household appliances will have access to an incredible amount of data about users and their experiences. This new data will allow professionals to gather more insight into how products are used in real life and will provide opportunities to create a more personalized user experience. Nest, the "learning thermostat", is a great example of putting this data to use. Users "teach" this proactive device their patterns for a few days and then Nest automatically adjusts settings to save energy based on user habits.
Home automation brings the concept of the "smart grid" into consumers' homes. Homeowners can control large appliances digitally and have them set to run at the time of day when energy prices are at their lowest. HVAC systems, like forced air and zoned heating, will be able to work hand in hand within a home to be energy efficient while maintaining a desired temperature. Additional opportunities for synchronization of systems are being developed that will help consumers save energy and money.
In this fast-paced world we live in, it is now all about effectiveness and efficiency. You can control home security cameras, blinds, check air quality, see if windows are open, unlock your house from halfway around the world, or use GPS to have your heater turn on…all through the palm of your hand. A product called Plant Link monitors plants' moisture levels and sends a text to the owner when they need water. Philips Hue is a wireless lighting system that allows users to control every light in their house down to its color, saturation, and brightness, right from their smartphone. Controlled through the Hue App, which comes with 17 pre-loaded "scenes," users are able to use these scenes or create custom scenes, capturing the color from these images and recreating the desired hues throughout their home.
Here at LVM, we find home automation fascinating and are actively learning about what is now possible and will be possible in the near future. Stay tuned for more updates!


The Spanish capital of Madrid has a vast history and culture. The Puerta del Sol forms the most central crossroads in the country, where an engraved stone slab marks 'Kilometre Zero'. As the urban and business epicenter of Spain, it draws a host of international influence in cuisine. Around 17 Michelin Starred restaurants sit alongside alternative eateries and lively tapas bars. Notably lacking in a Spanish beach, Madrileños escape the zapping heat of the summer months by heading to the mountains above Madrid or to the beaches of Valencia or Malaga regions.
Madrid offers a wide range of activities within the city. You can relax and learn about the city's vast history on walking tours, or get frightened on a haunting ghost tour, while lovers can view great exhibitions at historic museums or contemporary art galleries. Stroll around exotic plants in the Botanical Gardens or picnic in the grand and lively Retiro Park or spend your time window shopping for alternative and funky clothing in the hip Malasaña and Chueca districts, marvelling at the openness of Chueca's gay community. Madrid is constantly in motion and you can join in the nightclub parties until 6am like the locals.
Madrid is special due to its cuisine, fascinating history and its eclectic mix of cultures. Not many places in the world can you find such a mix of architectural styles. Madrid has everything, from a humble 2nd century Egyptian temple to the majestic 18th century Plaza Major and the classical Cibeles Fountain. It is also the geographical centre of Spain and a plaque on Plaza de Sol marks its central crossroads.
Community is very much alive in Madrid and markets are a way of bringing people together. Anton Martin is a great example, as you can buy anything here from the fresh produce to shoes, clothing and cutlery. El Rastro, meanwhile is a massive open flea market, selling antiques as well as handicrafts, which make great gifts to bring back home. Malasaña and Chueca districts on the other hand, offer alternative boutiques and vintage fashion shopping.
Surprisingly, inland Madrid is home to one of the largest fish markets in the country, and the city serves almost every cuisine imaginable. From Basque pintxos and Peruvian ceviche to Asian fusion restaurants, you can get your fill here. Malasaña and Chueca are hip places to eat and straight or gay, you can party all night long in these wild neighbourhoods.

Energy department official accused of stealing luggage from a second airport
by: Vanessa Murphy, Nexstar Media Wire
Posted: Dec 9, 2022 / 07:54 AM MST
Updated: Dec 9, 2022 / 10:51 AM MST
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — An Energy Department official is accused of stealing luggage from Harry Reid International Airport just weeks after facing a similar charge in Minneapolis, Nexstar's KLAS learned Thursday.
A felony warrant was issued for Sam Brinton, deputy assistant secretary of the Office of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition in the Biden administration, sources said. The charge is for grand larceny with a value between $1,200 and $5,000, records showed.
Brinton faces charges for a similar incident at the Minneapolis airport. Brinton was on leave after charges were filed in connection with that incident, an Energy Department spokesman said in November.
Energy Department's head of spent nuclear fuel on leave after alleged felony theft at airport
Last month, the department confirmed that Brinton had been seen on surveillance footage at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport in September apparently taking a bag from a claim that matched the description of luggage that had been reported missing, according to an October court filing.
The filing states that Brinton can be seen removing the tag from the bag and hastily leaving the area.
Brinton was due to appear in court on Dec. 19 in connection with the Minneapolis charges, which are punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

NJ marijuana legalization: Medical marijuana sent New Jersey family to Colorado
Vivian Wilson was the poster child for New Jersey medical marijuana reform, especially after her father's run-in with former Gov. Chris Christie.
Mike Davis, @byMikeDavis
Published 4:20 a.m. ET May 23, 2018 | Updated 10:39 a.m. ET May 26, 2018
This story is part of the "High Hopes" series from the USA TODAY NETWORK New Jersey, which sent journalists to Colorado and California to see how legal weed would impact the Garden State
DENVER - Seven-year-old Vivian Wilson answered the door smiling and waving at the two journalists on her doorstep before leading them by hand into her family's play room.
She doesn't say much, but never stops smiling — a big, toothy smile that seems to take up her entire face when she laughs, which is often.
The Wilsons live in Virginia Village, one of the southern-most points of Denver, where busy streets give way to two-lane roads with strip malls and small community parks. The mountains surrounding the "Mile High City" are barely visible on the horizon.
To a passerby, the only thing that separates the Wilsons' neighborhood from a typical New Jersey suburb — like the one they left in 2014 — is the marijuana dispensary a 20-minute walk away.
Watch a video of Vivian's story below.

HIGH HOPES: New Jersey on well-worn path toward marijuana legalization
That's why Vivian's family moved here from Scotch Plains, New Jersey, four years ago. Two months after she was born, Vivian was diagnosed with Dravet Syndrome, a rare form of epilepsy that affects 1 in 20,000. It's a lifelong disease that comes with developmental disabilities and a series of dangerous seizures.
In New Jersey, those convulsive "tonic-clonic" episodes would land Vivian in a hospital near the family's home on at least a weekly basis. Vivian also had limb-specific focal seizures that left parts of her numb.
And Vivian suffered from photosensitivity, with visual patterns or flashing lights sometimes triggering those convulsive seizures. Vivian had to wear an eye patch to trick her brain into not recognizing the patterns.
Vivian's parents had heard about the benefits of medical marijuana from other Dravet Syndrome families. At the time, Colorado was among only a few states with a relatively open medical marijuana program.
"If you were to ask me years ago, I would've said Vivian is just a lot of work and a lot of stress," said Brian Wilson, Vivian's father, in an interview with USA TODAY NETWORK New Jersey. "But these days, Vivian is probably one of the most inspirational people I know — always bringing joy and laughter to you."
HIGH HOPES: Network journalists talk Colorado, California legal weed experiences
Every day during their first two years in Colorado, Wilson gave his daughter two doses of marijuana — using trial and error to figure out the dosing of his home-brewed cannabis oil, which he'd spray in her mouth.
She wouldn't get high from the drug, but the results were dramatic: Vivian was free of the convulsive seizures for four to six weeks at a time. And the seizure-triggering photosensitivity was gone, allowing her parents to relax ever so slightly.
"It's the reason most of our families move to Colorado," said Dr. Kelly Knupp, Vivian's neurologist at the Children's Hospital Colorado. "Any one of us, as a parent, would go to the moon and back for our kids."
Vivian is an outlier among the Dravet Syndrome patients, Knupp said. While some families report "amazing responses with cannabis products," only about one-third of patients in a hospital study saw improvements.
Overall, a small percentage of families continue using cannabis in the long-term, Knupp said.
"In the long run, it wasn't the overall solution to their epilepsy," she said.
But for the Wilsons, medical marijuana had transformed Dravet Syndrome from a life-altering disease into a manageable one, her father said.
"She could be in another room. We could hear her playing and not have to worry," said Wilson, a 44-year-old software sales engineer. "It could always be improved but, compared to where we were, it was really, really great."
That's why it was so tough for the Wilsons to give it up.
For the price of 1 ounce of medical marijuana in New Jersey, a patient can instead buy a round-trip ticket to Denver, purchase an ounce of recreational marijuana and consume it there.
MORE: Murphy medical marijuana program could double number of patients
Until recently, New Jersey's medical marijuana program was designed almost as a last resort. Only a dozen conditions were admitted — like terminal cancer and multiple sclerosis — and dispensaries were only allowed to offer a limited number of marijuana strains. Patients could only buy 2 ounces per month at just under $500 an ounce, among the highest prices in the nation.
As of April, nearly 89,000 Coloradoans have an active medical marijuana registration while New Jersey just passed the 20,000-patient mark. Colorado has 5.6 million people, compared with New Jersey's 9 million.

In Colorado, patients often pay less than $100 for a doctor's consulting fee. They must also pay a registration fee, which recently increased by 66 percent — from $15 to $25.
In New Jersey, it costs $200 to register and patients must visit two doctors before patients are allowed to register for the medical marijuana program.
Last month, Gov. Phil Murphy announced an expansion of the program that added new conditions, such as anxiety, migraines and Tourette's syndrome, and increased the monthly allotment to 4 ounces of marijuana — a few hundred joints, by most estimates.
The Wilson family moved to Colorado in 2014 after one "nightmare" medical marijuana purchase in New Jersey: After two doctor visits, a psychiatric consultation, registration fees and the medical marijuana itself, the total cost of the endeavor surpassed $1,000.
In Colorado, Brian Wilson pays $25 to register his daughter as a medical marijuana patient. He can pick up the strains that work best for Vivian — "Blue Dream" in the morning and "Tahoe" at night — on his way home, no appointment necessary.
And the price per ounce is around $250, still cheaper than medical marijuana in the Garden State, where prices have dropped as more medical marijuana dispensaries have opened.
RELATED: Medical marijuana sends families to Colorado for epilepsy relief
Before the Wilsons left New Jersey, the medical marijuana reform bill they championed was decimated by then-Gov. Chris Christie. In particular, Christie line-item vetoed a measure that would have legalized edible marijuana products for the first time.

Instead, edibles would only be issued to underage patients. And with only a few children in the medical marijuana program, Wilson believed that no dispensary would bother spending money on a product that few patients could purchase.
It was an unsatisfying end to what, for the Wilsons, had become a year-long feud with Christie and turned the Vivian had become the poster child for New Jersey medical marijuana reform. Images of Vivian, wearing the eyepatch, and interviews with her parents appeared on national news networks and publications throughout New Jersey.
A 2013 exchange between Wilson and Christie at a gubernatorial campaign stop at a diner went viral when Wilson confronted the governor, pleading with him: "Please don't let my daughter die."
Christie said it was as "complicated" issue. Wilson replied that it was "very simple."
"I know you think it's simple and it's not," Christie responded.
"I got a new best friend," Wilson joked, remembering the exchange nearly five years later.
Their story followed Christie for years, even during his failed presidential bid. At a 2016 stop in New Hampshire, a person in the crowd asked him his thoughts on medical marijuana, specifically citing Vivian Wilson.
"Vivian Wilson's family chose themselves to leave the state of New Jersey. The fact is, we signed into law the ability for children to get medical marijuana under very strict guidelines," Christie said. "This is a medical program, not a recreational program."
The Wilsons were convinced that Vivian would have to suffer for years before New Jersey's medical marijuana program saw the kinds of changes that would give her any relief.
It was time to move.
Colorado difficulties
Despite finding easier access to medical marijuana, the Wilson's trek to Colorado has been no cakewalk. Within a few months of moving to Denver, Wilson put his "activist" hat back on.
An arising issue was the creation of homemade hash oil, in which the psychoactive THC is extracted from marijuana and combined with a solvent — usually butane or ethanol. The resulting oil is used to create anything from cannabis-infused butter (used to make pot brownies or cookies) to topical creams.
Since 2014, dozens of accidental explosions have occurred in Denver caused by failed extractions. They all involved butane, which is normally used as fuel. The Denver City Council tried to outlaw the practice but included ethanol — alcohol — in the ordinance.
HIGH HOPES: Ins and outs of legal weed regulation in California
RELATED: Hash oil explosions prompt potential changes
This enraged Wilson, who was faced with finding a new way to create Vivian's dosage.
"We moved out here. We thought we were all set and then suddenly a new fight arose," he said.
He prepared for another knockdown, drag-out fight. He prepared for another "new best friend" in state or local government, telling his family's story to officials at a Denver City Council meeting.
Their reaction left him flabbergasted: We hadn't thought about this issue. It's something we need to consider.
It was one of the chief differences between Colorado and New Jersey, Wilson said. In Colorado, marijuana was commonplace. It was discussed like a matter of public policy — like any other health or business issue.
In New Jersey, a simple discussion of anything related to marijuana came with judgment and tsk-tsks from critics, Wilson said.
"The most refreshing part about discussing it out here is that they talk about it candidly. They actually have open and common-sense conversations about these things," Wilson said. "It's funny, the conversations you have with politicians, the fire department, the police. You're talking about pot … and it's OK."
HIGH HOPES: How Colorado towns have adapted to, and avoided, legal weed
Those little issues have continued to pop up during the Wilsons' four years in Denver, the kinds of snags he hopes New Jersey regulators will address before they impact anyone else.
Most recently, there's the issue of testing: Since Wilson isn't a licensed marijuana business owner, he doesn't have access to marijuana testing labs. While he said his ability to extract cannabis oil "has improved," he's still an amateur.
Without access to professional, scientific testing labs, there's no way to know the true THC potency of one of his batches of cannabis oil.
"They thought people from the black market were going to be using that to verify their product and be able to make more money," Wilson said. "Who on the black market would actually pay to get numbers instead of just making it up? Nobody can verify it."
Going on, going off
The Wilsons, though, decided that Vivian had to give up medical marijuana — at least for the time being.
It was necessary, they concluded. She was offered a spot in a federal drug trial for fenfluramine, an appetite suppressant that was being tested for its ability to control Dravet Syndrome seizures. Trials in Belgium showed promising results, with patients going anywhere from six months to two years without a tonic-clonic seizure.
But since marijuana is still illegal on the federal level, Vivian had to stop taking medical marijuana if she wanted to be part of the trial. Watch a video below to learn how University of Colorado researchers found an endaround to study legal weed despite it being federally illegal.
"While we clearly loved the effects we were seeing with cannabis, for us it wasn't a fight to give our kid cannabis," Brian Wilson said. "It's a fight to give our kid a good life and stop her from having seizures, from one day possibly dying from seizures."

The Wilsons were one of many families who gave up medical marijuana to try their luck with fenfluramine, Dr. Knupp said.
The results from the new drug have been mixed. The tonic-clonic seizures are still occurring every four to six weeks, no change over medical marijuana.
The smaller focal seizures are largely gone, but the photosensitivity "came back with a vengeance."
"It can be tricky for them to manage, because they basically have to keep her away from those things that stimulate it," Knupp said.
In a perfect world, Brian Wilson would give his daughter a combination of both medical marijuana and the new, experimental drug. But that can't happen until the drug is released onto the open market — which could still be years away.
"I shouldn't say that I know but, I have a really strong feeling that, if I could give her a little bit of cannabis with this other drug to control that pattern sensitivity, we might really hit that sweet spot," Wilson said. "But until this drug comes to market, we either have a choice of pulling her off of this drug or sticking it out."
For now, the plan is to stick it out — in Colorado, despite a newly expanded medical marijuana program in New Jersey that would likely soon provide Vivian with similar relief. Murphy's plan, as proposed, would legalize edibles and remove the requirement for a psychiatric consultation.
At some point over the last four years, Colorado stopped being simply a temporary safe haven for medical marijuana and started becoming a home.
HIGH HOPES: Legal weed has turned Colorado into a tourist trap. Is NJ next?
The Wilson children made friends with their neighbors and classmates and, last year, their maternal grandmother, Ginger, moved from Brick to the Denver suburbs.
And their parents got used to the mountain lifestyle, where a 20-mile journey takes less than 20 minutes, and the easiest shortcut sometimes runs right through downtown Denver.
Brian Wilson misses the beach. He misses the pizza. "You can't get a good slice out here to save your life," he joked.
But the family is rooted in Colorado now — whether New Jersey legalizes marijuana or not. Whether or not the "miracle drug" goes to market, and Vivian's parents can find the sweet spot to give her complete relief.
"It's not like I have ill feelings towards New Jersey, but Colorado and Denver are great places to be," said Wilson, pronouncing his home state the way a Coloradoan does, emphasizing the short "A" sound, as in "Chad."
"I mean, the weather and taxes, alone. The humidity," Wilson said. "The hectic insanity of it all is better."

SEC Announces Charges Against Retirement Plan Custodian in Connection With Ponzi Scheme
Published on Jun 16th, 2015 | Posted in Articles
The Securities and Exchange Commission today announced charges against an Ohio-based self-directed IRA provider accused of ignoring red flags for accounts with investments that turned out to be fraudulent.
The SEC Enforcement Division alleges that Equity Trust Company took an active role in marketing investments offered by Ephren Taylor, who targeted churchgoers while running a Ponzi scheme, and Randy Poulson, who has been indicted in federal district court for an alleged offering fraud targeting investors in New Jersey. The Enforcement Division alleges that Taylor and Poulson defrauded more than 100 investors out of $5 million invested through accounts at Equity Trust, and that Equity Trust was a cause of violations of Section 17(a) of the Securities Act of 1933 by Taylor and Poulson.
"We allege that Equity Trust failed to protect the interests of its customers when it acted as more than a passive custodian," said Andrew J. Ceresney, Director of the SEC's Division of Enforcement. "When custodians like Equity Trust are aware of red flags suggesting an ongoing fraud, they must take action to try to prevent it."
In its order instituting proceedings, the Enforcement Division alleges among other things:
Equity Trust representatives participated at events hosted by Taylor and Poulson, and they encouraged attendees to transfer their retirement savings from traditional IRAs to self-directed IRAs at Equity Trust so they could invest in the Taylor or Poulson offerings. Equity Trust also sponsored Poulson dinner events with prospective investors.
Equity Trust processed investments in notes offered by Taylor and Poulson in spite of serious red flags. These included knowing that Taylor and Poulson had not provided them with documentation of the investments' collateral as it required as custodian of the self-directed IRAs, and that Taylor made false statements to thousands of people at a church near Atlanta.
Equity Trust continued to charge fees to customers invested in Taylor's notes as recently as this year despite the fraud charges announced against him in 2012.
The matter will be scheduled for a public hearing before an administrative law judge for proceedings to adjudicate the Enforcement Division's allegations and determine what, if any, remedial actions are appropriate.
The SEC's investigation was conducted by Andrew Dean and Lara Shalov Mehraban in the New York Regional Office and Luke Fitzgerald in the Asset Management Unit. The case was supervised by Julie M. Riewe and Amelia A. Cottrell, and the SEC's litigation will be led by Mr. Dean, Mr. Fitzgerald, and David Stoelting. The SEC appreciates the assistance of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of Georgia, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and the U.S. Secret Service.

NATIONAL (BlackNews) — Black Friday is the most popular sales day of the year in the United States. Small Business Saturday is also a huge sales day, and Cyber Monday is the most popular day in the states for online sales. Every year during this weekend (which follows the Thanksgiving holiday), retailers generate billions of dollars in revenue from anxious customers looking for the best deals. Sadly, Black-owned businesses are not as well supported.
Here are 25 Black-owned businesses that you can support this year
Haircare/ Skincare
#1 – Cajose Natural: After having trouble soothing her kids' issues with dry and patchy skin, one Black entrepreneur decided to take matters into her own hands – rather literally. Having already been immersing herself into natural ingredients for her own hair and skin, she continued her researching which would best suit the needs of her children.
#2 – Elle Johnson Luxury Skincare: Founder LaVonndra "Elle" Johnson became a skincare enthusiast after witnessing so many women struggle with skin conditions, oftentimes leading to lowered self-esteem and confidence, and a reliance on artificial beauty.
#3 – Koils By Nature: Dedicated to offering high quality, all-natural, hair and skin products, their customers can believe in and feel confident using. They achieve that goal by creating blends that do not contain parabens, sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, phthalates, propylene glycol, mineral oil, PBA, petroleum, paraffin DEA, synthetic color, or animal products.
#4 – KYW Boutique: Online Black-owned boutique that offers unique & trendy accessories to empower women to be bold and feel confident. KYW Boutique stands for "Know Your Worth," and the founder, Nakisha B, wants women to be bold and classy.
#5 – Gabby Bows: This company was launched by Gabrielle Goodwin when she was just five years old when she started daily insisting she and her Mom create a barrette that would stay in her hair. Since then, GaBBY Bows have helped families all over the world save time, money and frustration.
Toys and Other Children's Items
#6 – Darlyng & Co: This Black-owned lifestyle brand for children allows parents to keep their sanity. Their new innovative Teether – The Yummy Mitt® Teething Mitten makes your baby less crabby and happier! Plus, a variety of other cool products.
#7 – Toys Like Me: This company was launched in early 2018 by an African American dad who noticed that most toys sold by major retailers do not reflect what children with brown skin look like. He wanted to create backpack dolls and other products that Black children could resonate with, that is, toys that would build character, self-esteem, and most importantly — self-awareness!
#8 – Trinity Designs, Inc.: This Black-owned company celebrates black beauty through dolls that endeavor to inspire, captivate and encourage young women and children to love the skin they're in. They hope to increase self-awareness and self-confidence by giving them positive options for dolls that they can identify with.
Books and Flashcards
#9 – Urban Ebooks: More than 25 ebooks that empower African Americans, other minorities, and women of all ethnicities. They are 100% educational, and most of the books are available for $5 or less.
#10 – Urban Intellectuals: Black History Flash Cards designed to combat the miseducation and suppression of Black achievements around the globe, and Black History Coloring Books that focus on some of the amazing entrepreneurs in modern history that have excelled via ingenuity, perseverance and drive.
#11 – Entrepreneurs Color Too: This Black-owned company presents the first adult coloring book to highlight the beauty of black women and celebrate those women as being successful entrepreneurs. Since launching in May of 2018, the book has been featured in Black Enterprise, Curly Nikki and Madame Noire. This book is for business creatives and CEOs "because we should all feel inspired."
Apparel, Backpacks, and Handbags
#12 – Natural & Fit Designs: Workout wear geared toward African American women. The clothing is made from materials that can handle the sweat from an intense workout session, yet leave you looking great throughout your exercises.
#13 – Africa On My Back: a social enterprise that funds study abroad opportunities for African American males while simultaneously supporting small businesses in Ghana through the sale of handcrafted, African-print backpacks.
#14 – Suakoko Betty: a lifestyle brand inspired by African design. Owner and creative director Charlene Dunbar was born in Liberia and moved to Atlanta when she was 11. She took style lessons from her mom and Liberian church ladies, spliced them with her contemporary point of view, and her fashion line was born.
#15 – The Purse Paparazzi: Based in Baltimore, MD, this Black-owned company offers women an assortment of unique, stylish and edgy clutches for every occasion! Their clutches are perfect for date night, brunch or your special event.
#16 – Coco'Pie Clothing: Founded in 2011 by Shantae Pelt, Coco'Pie came to life after one of her daughters saw a t-shirt with a little black girl on it. She excitedly exclaimed, "Look, mommy! It's me on that shirt!" This helped her to realize that there was not enough mainstream apparel that features images of brown girls!
#17 – Culture Greetings: An Atlanta-based startup that allows customers to pick a culturally relevant physical greeting card and write a personal note using their handwriting fonts. They will print and mail the cards directly to the customer's recipients through an automated integration with their state of the art commercial printing system.
#18 – Ellis Island Tea: Ellis Infinity Beverage Company was founded in 2008 by Nailah Ellis-Brown. Their specialty is Ellis Island Tropical Tea, an all-natural, hibiscus tea with a Jamaican blend. The recipe came from the founder's great grandfather and is now produced in Detroit, Michigan.
#19 – Me and the Bees Lemonade: Founded by 10-year old, Mikaila of Austin, Texas, when she was only four years old when she opened her lemonade stand, using her great-grandmother's recipe. She called it Sweet Bee lemonade but has since changed the name to Me and the Bees Lemonade.
#20 – Jin+Ja: a revitalizing, anti-inflammatory and metabolism-boosting tea brand that was started in the summer of 2009 by entrepreneur Reuben Canada. He initially made the drinks for himself and friends, but then realized that he had something bigger on his hands. After doing a test at a local retailer, the product kept selling out every 3 days for first three months and the rest is history!
#21 – Bee D'Vine: a popular brand of honey wine that was created by entrepreneur Ayele Solomon after he realized that flowering trees in Ethiopia were an ideal source of nectar and pollen that bees use to make valuable honey. This set him on a quest to better understand the art and business of creating honey wine. He evaluated production in Ethiopia and South Africa but settled on the world-class wine region of Sonoma – not far from where he grew up – using California honey for the first varietals.
Desserts/ Snacks
#22 – CamiCakes Cupcakes: These yummy cupcakes were the inspiration of African American entrepreneur Andra Hall. She named the cupcakes after her daughter Camille and includes over 25 different varieties like sweet potato, banana cream, salted caramel, red velvet and more. Order online or visit one of her 7 locations in Florida and Georgia.
#23 – The Black Cake Company: Caribbean rum cakes are the specialty at this bakery. They use fresh ingredients and recipes that have been handed down for generations. The company has been around since 1987 and ships cakes around the world.
#24 – Symphony Chips: Created by an Atlanta-based father and his 2 daughters, this company produces healthy potato chips with all-natural ingredients that are both delightful and memorable.
#25 – Southern Culture Foods: This Decatur, Georgia-based company makes pancake and waffle mix, bacon rub and syrup. Owner Erica Barrett starting cooking for her family at the age of 9. Her first break came when she took first place in a food contest being held by The Food Network and Lea & Perrins, winning $10,000 and a trip to New York City. The rest she says is history.

I had left the Writer's Guild library and decided to go the park before I continued on with my day. I wanted to sit out in nature and meditate a bit before I made a call I had to make, and I ran into this sweaty guy who was running around the track.
I see why you give things in increments, God. I can't even sleep at the thought that I have met one of these elusive characters: the available man. This is new to me.
Prayers get answered. Prayers get answered. It is all happening so fast. I am closing my eyes so that I can see clear, and You say say Yes again. And I say Yes and I'm trying not be scared. Moving forward would mean letting go of all of my other fantasies. It would mean I can no longer wait for the day Mr. Almost Famous finally realizes that he's in love with me… It would mean that I can't keep hoping in the deep deep corners of my mind that Dream Lover will reappear one day. It would mean that I have to accept that Mr. Colorado just lives in Colorado but he'll never live with me again. It would mean that I would have to let the past go. Like, for real. Because I see that you are brining me a good thing. The present. The future. It's different than what I thought it would be. It's not a fantasy. It's actually real.
I am afraid that I will fail, God. That I won't be able to sustain the real. But I am willing to be strong. You said all I had to do is be willing, and so I am willing to be strong enough to accept good things for real, not just in my head. I am willing to use my strength in a good way now. I am willing to give it up. Yes. Now, today and ever more. Everything. I am willing to give up everything if it means that I will be able to taste the life that is scratching at my soul. The apartment, my perceptions of myself and the world, everything. I'm willing to be wrong about everything, and I'm even willing to be right.
I'm willing to make the trade. Fantasy for reality. Dreams for dreams coming true. Sad for happy. Past for present. Help me, God, to hold this space, please. Help me to not be afraid of a good life anymore, to not worry about how things will end up. Help me to really be happy. Help me to live my destiny. I really want it. With all of me. And I'm willing to accept it. Help me to be a good person, please. I am praying to You tonight. I am praying like my life depends on it, because I know it does. And it is not me doing the magic. I know. But I know I have to be willing to accept miracles and I am more than willing to accept the good things that even my brain denies.

Robert Francis Churchhouse CBE KSG, also known as Bob Churchhouse (30 December 1927 – 27 August 2018) was Professor of Computing Mathematics at Cardiff University and President of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications.

Early life and education
Churchhouse was born on 30 December 1927 in Higher Blackley, Manchester. The son of Robert Francis, a laboratory assistant, and Agnes Churchhouse (née Howard), a cotton mill worker. Churchhouse grew up into a Roman Catholic family. He attended St Clare's RC Primary School, and then St Bede's College, Manchester from 1939 to 1946. He pursued an undergraduate education in mathematics at Manchester University, where he was taught by both Max Newman and Alan Turing, both now famous for their code breaking work at Bletchley Park in WW2. Churchhouse graduated with a first class honours degree and subsequently received an award to undertake a PhD in Number Theory at Trinity Hall, Cambridge under the supervision of Professor Louis J. Mordell. His time at Cambridge brought him into contact with other ex-Bletchley mathematicians.

Career
In 1952, for his national service, Churchhouse joined the Royal Navy Scientific Service, and then the Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) where he worked for 11 years in London, Cheltenham, and at the UK's embassy in Washington. The GCHQ was interested in his work in number theory, and he was initially interviewed in May 1952. During his time at the GCHQ, he worked with Hugh Alexander and Jack Good both of whom had also worked at Bletchley Park on the breaking of the Enigma code.
In 1962, he was appointed head of programming at the Atlas Computer Laboratory at Harwell where he worked on the Atlas I supercomputer until 1971.

Churchhouse left Atlas in 1971 and joined Cardiff University as an Inaugural Professor and head of the newly created Department of Computing Mathematics. He was also the Director of the Cardiff University Computer Centre for the early part of his tenure.

In 1965, Bob was asked to serve on the Flowers Committee responsible for the provision of computers to Universities and Research Councils and was subsequently asked to serve on the follow up Computer Board. He chaired the Computer Board from 1979-82 and was subsequently awarded a CBE for his services.

As a lifelong Catholic, he helped reorganise the Catholic Secondary Schools in Cardiff as well as serving on the Board of Governors of Saint David's Sixth Form College for 15 years. He was recognized for his service with a Papal Knighthood (KSG) in 1988.

Q: Can I use 'will' twice in this sentence? Is it correct to use will twice in the following sentence?

Will your books will be available in electronic format?

A: When you convert a statement into a question in English, you swap the subject and the auxiliary verb. Here is a statement:

Your books will be available in electronic format.

In this statement, your books is the subject and will is the auxiliary verb. You swap them to make a question, thus:

Will your books be available in electronic format?

In your sentence, you have not swapped the subject and auxiliary- you have simply added another will. I understand why you think the second will is necessary in that position (it was in that position in the statement), but the swapping is what makes it into a question, so you can't simply add another one.

A: No, that is not correct. The future tense uses the word "will" only once; you cannot use it twice.

Do something! Do something! Do something NOW! That was the refrain Berta was hearing from the renters one weekend morning. Berta is the employee in charge of a rental property and the best cook and housekeeper in San Miguel de Allende. Her technical expertise does not extend very far into network topology or internet troubleshooting though. Berta tries hard to please, sometimes too hard, so with the tenants vociferously wailing that they were being deprived of Facebook, she succumbed to the pressure of the moment.
To keep tenants from fooling with the computer network, the modem, wireless access points and router are all under lock and key at this rental house, but Berta has the keys and this time she let herself be browbeaten into using them. The tenants said they "just looked" at the equipment, but when I arrived I could tell that "just looking" also included switching Ethernet cables from place to place and pressing all the reset buttons. It took me an hour to straighten out the mess they made.


STAMFORD, Conn., March 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Tronox Limited (NYSE: TROX) ("Tronox" or the "Company"), a global mining and inorganic chemicals company, today confirmed that the Federal Trade Commission has withdrawn the Company's proposed acquisition of the titanium dioxide ("TiO2") business of The National Titanium Dioxide Company Limited ("Cristal") from adjudication for the purpose of considering the related proposed Consent Agreement. Should the proposed Consent Agreement receive final approval by the Commission, the transaction would then be able to be consummated. The transaction, modified to include the proposed divestiture of Cristal's North American TiO2 business to INEOS Enterprises, a division of INEOS, has garnered widespread support from Cristal and Tronox's North American pigment customers.
Specifically, there can be no assurance that the proposed remedy transaction will be accepted by the FTC Commissioners and that our proposed acquisition of Cristal's TiO2 business will be consummated. There can also be no assurance that we will be able to complete the re-domicile transaction from Australia to the United Kingdom and that we will be able to complete the transaction with Exxaro. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks and uncertainties, nor can management assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements.
