A jury Friday in Miami, Florida found 77-year-old retired real estate developer Allen Bregman guilty of the murder of Debra Pantola Clark.
MIAMI, FL -- It took 42 years, but a Clayville family now has the justice they were seeking.
Debra grew up in Utica and after divorcing her husband, she moved to South Florida in the 70s, where she met Bregman, who was married.
The two had an affair and in 1977, Debra was murdered in the condo that Bregman purchased so they two could continue their affair while he was still with his wife.
Debra was shot and brutally beaten with a pistol.
Her family members from Clayville have been in court for the trial this past week, and told NEWSChannel 2 they are relieved this is finally over.
WKTV will meet up with them and share much more of their story when they return home.

COLOUR FEELING
THE NEW RAL TREND REPORT
COLOUR FEELING 2020+
reBirth of Culture
RAL Colour Feeling sees itself as an impetus in the field of colour in the fields of application design and architecture.
Together with the IIT Institute International Trendscouting at the HAWK Hildesheim, RAL developed several colour worlds, one of which was worked out as an example and specifies the theme of this issue. RAL Colour Feeling 2020+ shows the colour world reBirth of Culture.
The complete PDF of the current issue can be downloaded here.
"A trend towards familiar colours and shapes is being created from the development of digital technology."
The simplicity and reduction of pure shapes and smooth surfaces that seem to be almost perfect are combined with impulses from different, co-existing ethnologies. This creates an authentic mix from well-known examples in all cultures and epochs until the 1960s, which recounts a familiar, truthful story to us in a new way.
Similar to the era of the Renaissance in the 15th/16th century, an upheaval is now taking place, in which individual, cultural values are being revived. There is a glance back at a typical idealised world, taking its inspiration from the areas of handicraft, tradition and nature. These impulses are converted in an almost perfect and idealised form into a gentle, pure visual appearance with an apparently flawless effect.
In an unordered world, which seems to increasingly move away from familiar patterns, an ordered glance back at the past has a beneficial, calming effect. The world of the reBirth of Culture has a correspondingly sensual, familiar emphasis. New aesthetics combine the familiar language of the past with an advanced vision of the future.
These developments are announced through the digital impression of shapes and surfaces. The feel is accessible, homogeneous and matt. The digital age develops from something abstract into human and optimistic aesthetics with its own, soft language of shape, which is expressed in an almost artificial perfection of the surface. Inspired by the past, future technologies merge with well-known design languages and human reality. Design expands its pursuit of being true to materials and remains simply and calmingly soft to the touch, emphasised by colour.
The method of the IIT is based on a comprehensive scouting process. The building blocks have grown in a demand-oriented manner in over 10 years and have been continuously optimized. Due to the semi - annual scouting in large trend panels based on approximately 20000 images each, the IIT has a large database and corresponding experience in the Evaluation of phenomena, trends and styles in terms of colour and surface.
The system provides a repeatability and traceability. The results of the 2019 process can be found summarized in the current publication. Further method steps will be added here over time.
The translation of the main colours in CMYK, RGB and HEX can be found here.

Q: How relevant is mathematical optimization today? That's it. That's all I'd love to know from you guys. Mathematical optimization, with the aid of today's software. Do you think it's still relevant in today's world?

A: Mathematical optimization is used all over the place. The first example that comes to my mind (just because some papers are lying next to my desk) is controller design for cyberphysical systems. Other examples include all kinds of management things in economy, planning of infrastructure (e.g., location of transport hubs), some areas of software design (e.g., a colleague of mine is designing a real-time scheduler using ILP), experimental design and so on.

My download speed is really slow. I am not using a router. I connect my cable modem directly to the ooma huba and then directly to my computer. My ISP is Comcast. I have the 6 mbps plan. Before I used ooma, the kad network status and udp status is open and the download speed is fast. Do you guys know how I can resolve this issue? Thanks.
I don't know if it is a good idea, but assuming you know what you are doing and considering you weren't using a router before you had ooma, if you want to have a similar setup as before, enter your PCs IP address as the DMZ inside of the Ooma setup page. If your PC is set up to use DHCP, configure it for static or it might pick up a new IP address in the future, making the the DMZ rule invalid.
I have a solution... not sure if it's best, but it works with my eMule lowid issue. I'm no expert, just know enough to be dangerous. I've had no problems, but move forward at your own risk.
To do this, run ipconfig from the command line.
In your browser (FYI, Chrome didn't work with my version, but IE and Firefox do) type in setup.ooma.com.
The Ooma Hub interface should appear.
Click on the Advanced link on the left navigation and, at the bottom, add one of the following set of port rules.
If you have a good firewall, you may choose to skip the 2 rules above and port forward all allowed ports, as 3 ranges.

FEMINIST FRIDAY: Learning The Real History Of Thanksgiving From Native American Women
Welcome to another Feminist Friday column – the Thanksgiving edition. This is the time of year that, for many, it is seen as a celebration, a time to gather with family or loved ones and feast on a meal fit for kings. But it's also the time of year that brings a lot of pain for Native Americans, as their history and stories have largely been white-washed through text books and social and cultural movements that seek to emphasize the colonialist view of this holiday.
So this year, we decided that we want to use our time of gratitude to honor the voices of Indigenous people who are speaking out and sharing the real meaning behind Thanksgiving, and what it personally means to them. We feel as a platform that is dedicated to intersectional feminism, it is our responsibility to share important information in the hope we can enlighten and empower each other with knowledge, in order to be better allies.
The first video this week comes from Teen Vogue which was originally published in 2016, but is still relevant and we love that it is being told by young Native women. Hear about the real history of Thanksgiving which is not being taught in schools across America. The women who come from different tribes tell how foreigners came to the country, and after killing Natives and invading their village, they would gather around a "thanksgiving" feast, which didn't officially become a holiday until after Abraham Lincoln became president.
The second video was made by The Cut, and asks various Native Americans their thoughts on Thanksgiving. In one word, they describe how the holiday has essentially become co-opted as a day for celebration, but for the Indigenous populations it is the opposite.
"Lies", "sadness", "inaccurate" as just a few of the sentiments shared, but among the pain there are still shared experiences of family and love that bring them together. One woman says they spend the day re-telling stories about their tribe and their culture in order to keep their history alive.
The interesting juxtaposition in this video is that it's not the idea of gathering for a feast and celebrating thankfulness that is the problem, it's that all of this had to be done at the expense of Native Americans. Watch below:
The final video is not an easy one to stomach, but it is relevant and important in the conversation around erasure of Native people and their history. Throughout the United States and Canada, there have been ongoing reports of missing and murdered Indigenous women that has received only meager attention from governments.
As NPR reports, Native women are being murdered up to 10 more than the national average, yet many police departments around the country have little to no way of finding out why or tracking the numbers. The Atlantic recently released a short documentary centered around one woman who is fighting to raise awareness about these murdered women and make sure they are documented.
Lissa Yellowbird-Chase, a private citizen and volunteer investigator, has devoted her life to searching for missing American Indians. American Indian women and girls are reported missing at a disproportionately high rate compared with most other demographics. Although there is no federal database that tracks their disappearances, Mary Kathryn Nagle, a tribal sovereignty attorney, told The Atlantic that legal structures help to "create a climate in the United States where Native women go murdered and missing."
Recently, Yellowbird-Chase has been focused on one case in particular: that of Melissa Eagleshield, who disappeared in 2014 in Minnesota. "It was like she just vanished," says Jodi Dey, Eagleshield's aunt. No arrests have been made in relation to her case. Watch the video below:

It is vital to provide support to patients as soon as possible after they have been diagnosed with MS. This support can take different forms depending on the extent of physical disability and the patient's psychological needs faced with a chronic and life-changing disease.
A.o., BESEP, a not-for-profit organization, has recently demonstrated the extent to which an empathetic, sports-coaching approach can significantly develop the patient's capabilities.
A patient who takes up a challenge and achieves his aim in a well adapted environment experiences huge satisfaction which has a positive impact on his or her disability both physically and psychologically. In keeping with this approach, the Toubkal project aims to honor the patients and their coach and to challenge the image of disability linked to MS. It also offers the possibility to the coach to provide specific physical and motivational training during the preceding months.
The idea is that 12 persons with MS and their coach will go on a hiking tour to the top of a highly symbolic mountain. Toubkal, the highest point of the Atlas mountain range in Morocco (4,167m), was chosen because it is fairly close to the range and fairly easy and safe to climb. The party will start trekking at lower levels, moving to higher slopes and then perhaps end with some mountain climbing with ropes and cramps in an area without cracks and falling boulders. This will take place in Spring when the region is covered with flowers and the temperature is pleasant. .
The lead climber is a very experienced man and has climbed Toubkal several times as well as many other more difficult mountains. The route will be chosen on the basis of safety. Each stage will be an end in itself, and mules will be available throughout. Local support will be provided by an organization with excellent references and well known to the lead climber.
A neurologist and a sports doctor will be supporting the group. We will take advantage of this project to make a documentary film (producer ZOOM) highlighting the patients (should they wish) and their achievements. Subsequently this film will be used to de-mystify and de-dramatise the disease on condition that patients are given efficient early onset support.
A more scientific approach is also foreseen. A psychological evaluation of the patients with respect to this challenge was also performed. A questionnaire was provided they will complete just before and after the climb. A reassessment and a data analysis will be done.
To all participants, Toubkal will surely mean the fulfilment of a dream. We hope that they can share it during the climbing and after their return.


The best way to resolve the case is by first talking with a criminal defense attorney. Houston Criminal Lawyer James Sullivan will consider the merits of your case and give you an honest evaluation. He will aggressively defend you. His legal fees are affordable, reasonable and fair. Contact James Sullivan at (281) 546-6428 for a free confidential consultation.

Posto meraviglioso per soggiornare a Firenze fuori dalla confusione del centro godendo di una vista meravigliosa dall'alto della collina immersa tra gli ulivi. Una casa con un giardino stupendo e un'ospitalità fantastica tutta italiana! Grazie Claudia!
Highly recommend Claudia's place. Exceptional views. Property is perfectly maintained and still has rustic charm whilst being spotless and having all modern conveniences. We didn't have a car but this presented no issue. Strolls to the village were a welcome change from the usual hustle and bustle of daily life. Bus to Florence from village was cheap and easy to navigate. Fabulous restaurants in Settignano also. My only regret is that we didn't stay longer!
I almost don't want to share the truth about Claudia's beautiful homes – Vespro, Primaluce, Meriggio – as we would like this magnificent Italian treasure to remain 'our secret'. But that would be to deny this wonderful host the joy and pleasure she gets from welcoming you and indulging you in a rich, authentic and lavish Tuscan experience. What more, Claudia's cooking is to die for! We were overwhelmed by her hospitality, her warmth, and the Italian welcome feast.
We have visited Italy at least 40 times the last 35 years, mostly staying in rented apartments in the larger Florence area or Liguria. This time we stayed for 2 months off season in our favourite area and what has become our favourit place abroad: Claudia´s wonderful estate overlooking Florence in the most spectacular way. And it is a Place that is so wonderful not just because it´s location, but more because of the owner, her generosity, fantastic skills in creating luxury in a low key way that fits with a farm house tradition and paying attention to every little detail. Houses are beautifully decorated, garden is Lovely even in Winter time and the hospitality is outstanding.
Virgilio prima di scrivere le Bucoliche aveva forse soggiornato nel giardino di Claudia quando immaginava che fosse un luogo adatto per comporre musiche e poesie?
Io non posso che confermarvi che sebbene non fossero faggi e io non fossi Titiro, il riposare all'ombra del meraviglioso giardino farà risuonare nell'animo del fortunato vacanziere echi di pace e sensazioni di assoluto privilegio.
Sovrastando la caotica città un eremo di piacevole ristoro, da provare assolutamente!
La squisita disponibilità e cortesia del personale rende questo soggiorno assolutamente impagabile.
Absolutely stunning place in the perfect location. The house is up on the hill, and the view down to Florence is breathtaking. It's so close to Florence that it is easily accessible to go down for a few hours each day, yet far enough away to be able to relax in peaceful settings each night. Tess and Claudia were a fantastic help during our stay. We would definitely love to come back one day!
A perfect Tuscan Villa in the mountains overlooking Florence. The Best of both worlds; relaxing country feel only 20 minutes from Florence and a five-minute walk from beautiful little Settignano.
Endroit magnifique, et très reposant avec une vue imprenable sur tout Florence. Une adresse très bien tenue qui mérite le détour. La maison est très soignée tant dans les choix du mobilier (chiné pour la plupart) et des matériaux. La piscine est superbe et spacieuse invitant à la détente et au repos.

Q: Does IE fail when removing tag attribs with jquery? I´m using an different box for title atrib in elements. I´ve developed a simple jQuery stuff to do it but... the "best friend ever", IE, don´t work correctly. It´s simple don´t remove the title atrib as the other browsers do. The result: i´ve the box showing the title atrib and the own browser box over this. How can i resolve this? (code next).
NOTE: works on Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera. But IE don´t.
<title>Box</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

Body:

Examples: (mouse over the links)

Curabitur lacus tortor, pellentesque eget interdum in, auctor et lorem. In in quam lorem, vel sagittis lec. Donec felis leo, id fermentum nibh porttitor. Vestibulum ante empy title (dont need to work) primis. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, lorem ipsum elit.

INFO: if an alert is placed after
$(this).attr('title', $('#dbox').text());

it work on IE.. but i can´t use an alert.

A: I tested your code in FF4 and I'm getting the same double title tooltip behavior you are in IE (your tooltip pops up and then the built-in FF one pops up about a second later after continuing to hover over the link). From the code you've posted this is absolutely expected behavior.
What you need to do is either leverage a different attribute (ie: use 'dboxtitle' rather than 'title') or you're going to need to dynamically remove and re-add the title on mouseover/mouseout so that the browser doesn't see it (ref: Disabling browser tooltips on links and s).


Tim said he did not know why he did this, simply that he felt it gave him better luck and that he could save more goals if he tapped the cross bar 3 times before every game. Whatever had worked for him in the past he stuck too. I think this also brings up the number 3 in a universal context. We talked a lot about how many things come in 3's, and I find it fascinating that he tapped the goal post specifically 3 times and it was thought to bring him good luck.

Tag - mandriva - Greetings from the free side / T'as le bonjour du libre !
Funny thing I saw today : grep version jumped from 2.5.1a in 2008.1 to 2.5.3 in 2009.0. Sounds useless, huh, grep does its stuff, so this should only be a bugfix or code cleaning release, don't you think ?
Well in fact, its not. Grep 2.5.3 introduces the long awaited option --exclude-dir. You can now just grep your version control tree for some stuff and easily exclude your .cvs/.svn/whatever directory, without having to resort to a big fat find command with xargs.
Mandriva Linux 2009.0 is released !
Here we are, Mandriva Linux 2009.0 has been released today ! Congratulations to everyone involved !
Download Mandriva Linux 2009.0 (bittorrent download) (make sure you choose 2009.0 and not 2008.1).
Here's an insightful vision of the current Linux distro's market, from Dave Neary, former member of the GNOME foundation board.
I don't want to pick on Mandriva, but it's true that right now they're aiming for the general consumer, the enterprise desktop and the enterprise server, and are not competing particularly well with the front-runners in any of those markets.
Yup, Mandriva Linux 2008.1 Spring has been released today. What is amazing is that it's been released on time, which hasn't been the case for years !
I've started testing it quite late in this development cycle (RC2), but I still was able to find a few annoying bugs, which were corrected on time, thanks to Mandriva's hard working team. While I was a bit disapointed with 2008.0 (and 2007.0), what I saw pleased me, ans I really think this release is Mandriva Linux at its best (200X.1 releases seem to be better at Mandriva).
And the most important : the link to download Mandriva Linux with your prefered bittorrent client (Transmission in my case).
Many thanks to everyone who worked on this release. Now Enjoy !

San Francisco may allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote
By 1 Sep 13, 2020
San Francisco may become first major US city to allow 16-year-olds to vote
Teens as young as 16 years old may get the chance to vote in San Francisco
In November, residents of the city will vote to determine if 16- and 17-year-olds will be allowed to vote in future local elections
The city would become first major US city to lower age by two years if it passes
By Valerie Edwards For Dailymail.com
Published: 09:40 EDT, 13 September 2020 | Updated: 10:05 EDT, 13 September 2020
A California city may soon allow teens ages 16 and 17 to vote in local elections.
San Francisco residents will not only be voting in the presidential election come November, but they will also cast votes to determine if youths will be allowed to vote in municipal elections.
Advocates in the city have been pushing such measures since 2016, when the first legislation failed with 48 per cent of the vote, according to NBC News.
'I really think that Vote 16 will help youth of color in San Francisco establish the habit of voting at an earlier age, and really provide them with the support and the resources that they need to continue building on that habit as they grow older,' organizer, Crystal Chan, told the network.
San Francisco residents (pictured) will not only be voting in the presidential election come November, but they will also cast votes to determine if youths will be allowed to vote in municipal elections
San Francisco would become the first major US city to lower the voting age by two years if the proposition passes.
Some US cities have already allowed teens as young as 16 to vote in local elections.
Takoma Park, Maryland, which passed such legislation in 2013, is one of those cities and local officials have said they have seen positive results.
'Research is clear on this, that voting is a habit. And 16 is a better time than 18 to establish that habit,' Brandon Klugman, Vote 16's campaign manager, told NBC News.
Other elected officials have also pushed for similar laws in New York and Massachusetts.
In Massachusetts, Rep Ayanna Pressley introduced an amendment to the For the People Act in 2019, to lower the federal voting age to 16.
San Francisco would become the first major US city to lower the voting age by two years if the proposition passes
In 2018, New York Congresswoman Grace Meng introduced a constitutional amendment to lower the voting age nationwide to 16.
'I'm always inspired by our nation's youth who have demonstrated wisdom, maturity and passion on issues like social justice, gun control, and climate change,' Meng told NBC.
'They are the leaders of our future and the decisions we make impact their lives every day. To capture their views and experiences, we must lower the voting age to 16 in all elections.'
But there are critics who believe that 16-year-olds are not mature enough to cast ballots.
Nate Hochman, a senior at Colorado College, told NBC that he doesn't support the initiative to lower the voting age because he questions whether young people understand 'exactly what good governance looks like' in their communities.
'Sixteen-year-olds — they're sophomores, juniors in high school like they're deeply impressionable. And they're not capable of making completely rational decisions about voting,' Hochman said.

Lawsuits allege widespread abuse at immigrant detention centers where minors are being held
By Alison Durkee
Unaccompanied immigrant children held in private, government-funded juvenile detention centers are alleging widespread physical and mental abuse in a pair of lawsuits that have surfaced amid the influx of immigrant children being separated from their families.
The lawsuits, which detail abuses of unaccompanied minors who were not among those affected by the Trump administration's family separation policy, demonstrate the broader pattern of abuse that allegedly takes place at private juvenile detention facilities. The class-action lawsuits, which were filed in October and April in Virginia and California, respectively, were brought on behalf of unaccompanied minors abused in the facilities.
The alleged abuse detailed in the lawsuits is indicative of a broader problem, as a number of private facilities where immigrant children have been detained have a history of abuse, according to a Reveal report. State inspectors in Texas cited private facilities for more than 400 deficiencies, which include failure to seek medical attention for children and "inappropriate contact" between children and staff.
These private facilities are funded by the federal government. According to Reveal, the Office of Refugee Resettlement paid $3.4 billion to private companies housing migrant children between 2014 and 2018, many of which went to nonprofit and religious organizations. Of those funds, $1.5 billion — 44% of the total amount — was paid to 13 companies that have received citations or faced serious allegations of abuse.
Among the private facilities now under scrutiny is the Shiloh Treatment Center in Manvel, Texas. According to a lawsuit filed in April in California against the federal government over the treatment of minors at ORR-funded facilities, the Texas facility's abuses against minors in its care include forcing them to take psychotropic drugs.
Protest in front of the El Paso Processing Center, an immigration detention facility, at the Mexican border
The lawsuit alleges that children at Shiloh are forced to take medication at the facility without any ability to challenge the medication or the facility obtaining permission from their parents to administer the drugs.
"The staff threatened to throw me on the ground and force me to take the medication," an immigrant minor identified as Julio K. is quoted as saying in the lawsuit. "I also saw staff throw another youth to the ground, pry his mouth open and force him to take the medicine.
"They told me that if I did not take the medicine I could not leave, that the only way I could get out of Shiloh was if I took the pills."
In a letter filed in support of the lawsuit, Leecia Welch, who is one of the attorneys representing the plaintiffs, noted the "profound and long-lasting impacts" the medications have on children. Welch quoted a federal district court judge, Nanette K. Laughrey, on the power of psychotropic drugs.
"Children administered psychotropic medications are at particularly serious risk of long-lasting adverse effects," the letter states. "They are more vulnerable to psychosis, seizures, irreversible movement disorders, suicidal thoughts, aggression, weight gain, organ damage and other life-threatening conditions."
One immigrant minor identified as Javier C., whose declaration was filed in court documents, reported being "provoked" by Shiloh staff to "act violently" so he would have to be given injections of medication. He said he also experienced staff members violently grabbing the minor's arm and twisting it behind his back.
"The staff would insult us and call us names like 'son of a whore,'" he said. "They often did it in English, but I understood some English so I would know what they were saying and get really angry."
"Two of the staff members were violent with me," he wrote in his declaration. "One was a teacher whose name was 'Hors,' he called the medical staff to the classroom to give me shots many times. One time, I got angry in class and wanted to leave the classroom. I was sitting down, but he came and touched me, so I got angrier. Then he grabbed me and twisted my arm behind my back, then lifted up so I felt like my shoulder was breaking. I screamed. The teacher had done the same thing to one of my friends."
The lead plaintiff in the lawsuit is Jenny Lisette Flores, whose 1997 settlement with the government established guidelines for minors in immigrant detention facilities. The settlement included certain standards that facilities must meet, as well as stipulate that the government must release children from their custody without "unnecessary delay."
The Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Center near Staunton, Virginia, is also under legal scrutiny, after a class-action lawsuit was filed in October on behalf of immigrant minors who have been detained there. The lawsuit, though filed by John Doe, a 17-year-old Latino immigrant in detention at the facility, states that Doe "represents a class of immigrant children" who have been abused at the facility and is seeking relief "on behalf of himself and all similarly situated immigrant children."
The lawsuit alleges widespread abuses against the immigrant minors in the facility by staff members "routinely insult[ing], taunt[ing] and harass[ing]" the minors on the basis of their ethnicity; stripping minors of their clothing; confining them to their rooms; restraining them in chairs for hours at a time; and staff members physically abusing the minors by "applying an excessive amount of force that goes far beyond what is needed to establish or regain control."
This image has been provided by the Shenandoah Valley Juvenile Center.
"One immigrant detainee was physically assaulted because he failed to comply with a directive to leave his book in his room when he went to class," according to the lawsuit. "Although the child had not exhibited any physical aggression, three SVJC staff members reacted to his refusal by shoving him into his room, placing handcuffs on him and forcing him to his knees."
The lawsuit states the staff members pushed the boy face down into the concrete floor until his face was red, and then proceeded to lock him in his room for eight hours.
The lawsuit also alleges the Shenandoah facility is "both structurally and fundamentally, a prison," describing conditions in which children are locked in their rooms for 12 to 14 hours a day and fed "substandard" meals. The facility also does not provide adequate mental health care and is "deliberately indifferent to [the immigrant detainees'] serious medical needs," the lawsuit states.
According to the Associated Press, the Shenandoah center is one of three juvenile detention facilities funded by the federal government to provide "secure placement" for children who had faced problems at other, less restrictive facilities. The detainees were being processed as gang members, even though sources cited by the AP noted that many of the children were instead facing mental health issues from traumas sustained in their home countries.
The lawsuits center on claims made before the Trump administration's family separation policy took effect. However, Southwest Key, a private company that houses children separated from their families in a converted Walmart in Brownsville, Texas, has been cited by state inspectors for nearly 250 violations, according to Reveal and ABC News. According to ABC News, the citations include instances where children were not given prompt medical care and housed in rooms that reached an "unsafe temperature," while staff members were cited for showing up to work drunk, "belittling" children and, in one case, having an "inappropriate relationship" with a child.
The Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy that resulted in the widespread separation of immigrant families has drawn nationwide outrage in recent days. Though Trump signed an executive order Wednesday advising the Department of Homeland Security to keep families together in detainment — opening up the possibility that immigrant families could be detained indefinitely — the administration reportedly has no plan to reunify the more than 2,000 children that have already been separated from their families.

Giant knickers put out house fire
A family home was saved from burning down when a pair of giant knickers were used to put out a fire.
Jenny Marsey's size 18-20 cotton pants were a lifesaver when they were grabbed to cover a frying pan fire at her home in Meryl Gardens, Hartlepool, Teesside.
Her son and nephew were trying to fry some bread when the blaze broke out.
But the quick-thinking pair used the Marks & Spencer underwear from a pile of washing, doused them in water, and threw them over the fire.
Mrs Marsey, 53, said: "My £4.99 parachute knickers have come in handy for something. We've had a good laugh that they were a bit like a fire blanket."
The incident happened on Sunday, while Mrs Marsey was out for the day.
Her son John and his cousin Darren, 23, were cooking, when they went to answer a knock at the door, only to return to a blazing kitchen.
Mrs Marsey said: "When they found the pan on fire they did what most people do and panicked.
"But they found a pair of my knickers in a washing basket and basically used them as a fire blanket to put out the fire."
Mrs Marsey, who is also mother to Sarah, 23, Joanne, 24, and Donna, 27, added: "I think if they had been my daughter Sarah's skimpy knickers they wouldn't have done any good.
"I'm taking it all in my stride and it's quite a funny start to the New Year."
A spokesman for Cleveland Fire Brigade said: "They did the right thing in the end. We advise everyone to get fire safety advice."

Urgent inquiry into rail delays
Many people were expected to return to work on Wednesday
An urgent inquiry is to be carried out into engineering work delays which have caused chaos for thousands of people.
The Office of Rail Regulation began the inquiry after West Coast Mainline work overran by two days. Disruption was set to continue on Thursday.
Network Rail apologised for the delays and said it was working "flat out" to restore normal services.

FRENCH TRADER WAS FORCED TO WORK 30 HOURS A WEEK
FRIENDS of rogue trader Jerome Kerviel last night blamed his $7 billion losses on unbearable levels of stress brought on by a punishing 30 hour week.
Kerviel was known to start work as early as nine in the morning and still be at his desk at five or even five-thirty, often with just an hour and a half for lunch.
One colleague said: "He was, how you say, une workaholique. I have a family and a mistress so I would leave the office at around 2pm at the latest, if I wasn't on strike.
"But Jerome was tied to that desk. One day I came back to the office at 3pm because I had forgotten my stupid little hat, and there he was, fast asleep on the photocopier.
"At first I assumed he had been having sex with it, but then I remembered he'd been working for almost six hours."
As the losses mounted, Kerviel tried to conceal his bad trades by covering them with an intense red wine sauce, later switching to delicate pastry horns.
At one point he managed to dispose of dozens of transactions by hiding them inside vol-au-vent cases and staging a fake reception.
Last night a spokesman for Sócíété Générálé denied that Kerviel was overworked, insisting he lost the money after betting that the French were about to stop being rude, lazy, arrogant bastards.

Straight-talking homeopaths
THANKS to Alex Gough for pointing us in the direction of FairDeal Homeopathy, online purveyors of homeopathic remedies. Their website is intriguing, and not at all what you might expect.
"Homeopathy is not a substitute for evidence-based medicine and proper medical opinion," it states flatly. It goes on to argue that insofar as homeopathy "works", it works through "a complicated interaction with the human body and mind known as the 'placebo effect'".
"What conditions can FairDeal Homeopathy treat*?" is the next question. The asterisk refers to a note at the bottom of the page saying "*'Treat' in no way implies 'cure'". As for the answer: "FairDeal homeopathy," we are told, "can be used to treat any self-limiting condition." Such conditions are defined as "ones that, if left alone, will get better anyway".
Is this website a spoof? When Gough asked the owners they were most offended. "A spoof?" they replied. "Tsk tsk! We dispatch homeopathic remedies* the same working day! Real pills! In real little bottles and everything! How authentic do you want us to be?" Once again, a note at the bottom of their email explains the asterisk: "*No curative properties implied. Guaranteed as effective as all other homeopathic remedies. May taste of sugar."
If you would like to purchase a FairDeal remedy for one of your self-limiting conditions, go to www.fdhom.co.uk and place your order, which will cost you only £4.99.
According to the "Testimonials" section of the website, such a remedy certainly worked for a Mr S. Scott: "I ordered your product to help treat a mild cold that I was experiencing and that evening I began to feel much better. By the time your product arrived I was nearly fully cured. I cannot recommend this enough, thank you FairDeal Homeopathy."

I'm probably not the first person to spot this, but I am all the same delighted to report that Rowan Williams is an anagram of "In Islam Law Row".
Did I dream it or was there once an entire thread given over to anagrams?

re place names:
near plymouth there is crapstone (the stone there is actually quite impressive), near poznan there is a town called oborniki, which means manure in polish. there is thong in kent, wankem in the netherlands (or was it belgium?) and there's maggy's tits in the us. as a kid i once went camping at sandy balls in hampshire. there is a sandy bottom in st austell, where there is also a lane called dog shit alley, although that's probably not official.
This is new to me - an animated cartoon about the week's news:

Department of post-mortem indecision: A cemetery manager was quoted
in the Guardian Weekend last Saturday (16 February). He explained
they sometimes had to exhume bodies: "Some people have an aversion
to burial and decide they would rather have a cremation after all."
While we're on such matters, Peter G Neumann reported in the Risks
Digest newsletter that the Web site of WSMV, Nashville, Tennessee,
had a story on 15 February under the headline "Woman Says Being
Declared Dead Ruins Life".
Department of clerical fecundity: Noted by Noel Donaghey on the Web
site of The Adelaide Advertiser for 15 February: "An effort to lift
South Australia's population to two million well before its target
of 2050 will be led by Monsignor David Cappo."

Tidemark Systems offers a suite of business planning applications that enable corporations to plan more effectively. The software facilitates rapid creation and frequent updating of integrated company plans by making it easy for individual business functions to create their own plans while allowing headquarters to connect them to create a unified view. I coined the term "integrated business planning" a decade ago to highlight the potential for technology to substantially improve the effectiveness of planning and budgeting in corporations, and it remains true that integrating business planning can produce superior results. Companies that maintain direct links between functional or departmental plans more often have a planning process that works well than others. Our next-generation business planning benchmark research shows that two-thirds (66%) of those that maintain such links have a planning process that works well or very well, compared to 40 percent that copy information from individual plans into an overall plan and just 25 percent in which plans have little or no connection.


During 2016 & 2017, Guy Begbie had the opportunity to engage in three artist residencies overseas in Australian Universities. He was an artist in residence researching & developing new works at: Cicada Press, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Canberra School of Art, Australian National University, Canberra and Queensland College of Art, Griffith Centre for Creative Arts Research, Griffith University, Brisbane.
During these residencies he produced artists books that were devised using combinations of mixed media that included: printmaking, photography & video, digital & analogue drawing, re-configured appropriated book/printed material, paper engineering, small scale casting and 3D scanning and prototyping.
These books can be opened and displayed as a freestanding, expanded and immersive structures. They can be viewed in multi configurations and also can be held in the hands for more intimate tactile reading engagement. The non-linear narrative structure of the book works alludes to mapping and a walking passage or dérive, through both natural and built architectural environments.
The books are intended to imply a sense of physical spatial containment through the transition in activating the book from a folded 2D flat object to a 3D sculptural artifact.
A free standing extended opening sculptural bookwork mapping distillations of Brisbane/place/locations seen through the perspective of cut page apertures and architectural modelling of page facets.
Case binding: content includes appropriated photographic imagery from a library discard on the front cover. Hand cut, perforated and folded drawing paper and card stock in various weights with paper engineering and appropriated library discard material.
Using appropriated found aerial mapping artifacts, these works investigate ways in which the book form may hold and contain a distillation of direct and imagined experience of the landscape. In the act of reading maps, one may prompt a familiar fleeting pang of recognition making a place quantifiable through recall.
The Map has an inter-textual dimension, where meaning can cross boundaries of place. The referencing of map elements are a frequent factor in Guy Begbies' book works. Maps that often have the irregular edge or organic perimeters of the found fragment or broken shard artifact. This characteristic serves to emphasise the lack of a frame where meaning runs off the edge into an abstract void space where anything can happen.
Freestanding sculptural/architectural concertina structure book-work, with blue soft back cover with tabbed closure. The content includes layered up and overprinted photstat imagery, text and paper engineering.
Description Of Binding: Secret Belgian Binding with Morocco leather covered boards and spine piece. Circular inlays in various leathers, bookcloth and paper based materials with printed montage/drawings.

Q: python - delete item from list of tuple by index I want to delete elements from list of tuple with given index values.
Input: [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8), (9, 10)]
Task to be done:
delete item at given index: 2,3
Desired output:
[(1, 2), (3, 4), (9, 10)]
I have tried following code for it:
list(numpy.delete(input, [3,2]))

But I got following output:
[1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10]
Kindly suggest me possible ways to solve this case.

A: list.pop() will remove selected elements. they have to be done in reverse order so as not to modify the position of the later ones.
list.pop(3)
list.pop(2)

A: you can use del:
del mylist[index]

A: numpy: specify the axis for multidimensional arrays
What you did with numpy was close but you used the wrong axis. If you specify axis=0 you get the result you wanted.
>>> import numpy as np
>>> l = [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8), (9, 10)]
>>> l = np.array(l)
>>> l
array([[ 1,  2],
       [ 3,  4],
       [ 5,  6],
       [ 7,  8],
       [ 9, 10]])
>>> np.delete(l, [2,3], axis=0)
array([[ 1,  2],
       [ 3,  4],
       [ 9, 10]])

Vanilla Python
For operations that mutate the list step by step, it's important to go by descending order of the indices so e.g. [3, 2] instead of [2, 3]:
With pop()
>>> l = [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8), (9, 10)]
>>> l.pop(3)
(7, 8)
>>> l.pop(2)
(5, 6)
>>> l
[(1, 2), (3, 4), (9, 10)]

With del
>>> l = [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8), (9, 10)]
>>> for i in [3, 2]:
...     del l[i]
...
>>> l
[(1, 2), (3, 4), (9, 10)]

With remove()
>>> l = [(1, 2), (3, 4), (5, 6), (7, 8), (9, 10)]
>>> remove_list = [l[2], l[3]]
>>> remove_list
[(5, 6), (7, 8)]
>>> for r in remove_list:
...     l.remove(r)
...
>>> l
[(1, 2), (3, 4), (9, 10)]


Let's have justice for American Renaissance, too!
American Renaissance, a racial realism blog site and organization founded in 1990 by a man named Jared Taylor, was low-bridged again at the end of this past week, right on the eve of what AmReners thought would be their semi-annual conference in Charlotte, N.C., far away from the liberal loonies who have managed to disrupt those conferences, one way or another, for the past several years.
All it took this time was threatening phone calls from two black Charlotte city councilmen to the hotel where most of the AmRen followers attending the conference were planning to stay. As a hotel in the Washington, D.C.-Northern Virginia area did under similar circumstances last year, the Charlotte inn caved in under pressure from the professional Left and canceled all the AmReners' reservations, plus their use of the hotel's facilities for the conference.
The trouble-making Southern Poverty Law Center, which loves to designate political groups who disagree with it as "racist" and "hate groups" almost as much as the mainstream news media love quoting the SPLC as making the designations, may have had a hand in the denial of free speech to the AmReners, too. It isn't clear at this writing. What is clear, is that free speech as conceived by those with the muscle to enforce it in this country today, is free liberal speech, free black speech, free illegal immigrant speech — but definitely not free speech for White Americans, European-Americans, who believe that their race is threatened and under siege, and that they have a right to speak out about it.
Such a result is called the "thug's veto." "We don't like what you're saying, so we're going to keep you from saying it." That isn't free speech; it's totalitarianism. And the mainstream media mostly just look the other way. Most reporters are of a liberal ideological bent — believe me, I worked with them for 40 years, and I know. They don't really care if AmRen is shut out of a conference for which its members had paid good money, or whether columnist Ann Coulter is forced to cancel a scheduled appearance on a college campus by Leftist goons' threats.
It seems to me that such mass reservations at a hotel should include a performance bond, by which the hotel could be sued by AmRen and its members for cancelation on late, short notice. Possibly the hotel management could grow some backbone and start telling the Leftists who threaten them that they'll be subject to arrest if they break the law in any way on hotel property. But that's probably too much to hope for. Other AmRen bloggers and I have urged members attending these conferences to pack heat — for self-defense, if necessary, not aggression. But that does no good if the thing gets canceled before it can even start.
No, the most effective tool for the various conservative organizations who have been the victims of liberal, often black, disruption and intimidation, is the legal one. The SPLC is very vulnerable to such lawsuits — it has defamed one Rightist organization after another, publicly. And it has deep pockets. Seems to me that the city of Charlotte could be liable to legal action, too, as two of its city councilmen were key players in intimidating the hotel into its spineless cave-in. One of those councilmen is the mayor pro-tem, according to an article about the disgraceful episode which appeared in the Charlotte Observer.
And as I've already mentioned, surely AmRen can find lawyers who could work up a good discrimination lawsuit against the hotel in this case. Has the hotel ever canceled reservations for an NAACP or Black Muslim convention at the last minute, under pressure from the local KKK? We all know the answer to that, don't we?
Until the Right starts fighting back — and the best way to do that, is by getting into the deep pockets of the people who have wrong ed them, through the legal system — it will be served up this noxious stew, again and again.
For those of you who are interested in Mr. Taylor's website, it is available at amren.com . You'll find that the webmaster tolerates no racial slurs or other abusive language, and that much of the discussion is well-reasoned and intelligent, although often written in what might be called "White heat" (pun intended).
If you think this column might help open the eyes of some people, please feel free to forward it far and wide. Just give Old Corporal credit, please. I don't get any money from this, but the recognition makes me feel good.
Nuf said, Old Corporal. You did another fine job. It IS an aggravation how only the white race can be accused of being "racial". You stated the case perfectly. Good on you!
Hi….this is Jake. I tried to send you a Christmas card and it came back. What's your address now? E-mail me.
The SPLC has very deep pockets indeed, nearly $190 MILLION tax-free donor-dollars at last count.
AmRen has civil rights too, including freedom of expression. Where is the almighty ACLU in the face of this blatant discrimination?
Well written article Mr. Engle. I enjoy your posts at AmRen, so I thought I'd come over, look around and say hello. I'm "Tired of It". Keep up the good writing. I'm so glad I found AmRen and a few other sites – like this one. Very few spots of sanity left in an increasingly insane world. Stay well, Old Corporal.
Old Corporal — You are my superior: I am only a PFC, so I defer to you for that and for many other reasons. I also defer to your 40 years of hard-working journalism contrasted with my grand total of about two years. Mea culpa. Having paid my respects, I go on to dispute your defense of "AmRen," mainly your remark about urging attendees to "pack heat." That's pretty reprehensible, Wayne. I agree that they are entitled to their (in my opinion) stupid and scandalous views and, in an ideal world, are entitled to express them. I agree with the argument that it is better to get views out into the free, public forum so that they can be disputed and, in this case, easily defeated. But guns? We've suffered centuries of injustice from racists with guns. How about fighting fire with fire? Mr. Taylor might simply look for a place more friendly to his views. I'm sure with a little judicious canvassing ahead of time, he could find white councilmen — it is about race, isn't it? — who would be just as manipulative in seeing to it that he got his venue rather than being denied it.
Well folks, although the American Renaissance Conference was indeed cancelled due to an iron triangle of Leftist pressure groups, a black government official abusing his authority and the pusillanimity of Charlotte hotels, an "underground" conference, at two (more or less) secret locations, WAS held. I was at one location and had a great time. Jared Taylor & the scheduled speakers were at the other site, where they recorded their lectures for Internet upload and DVDs. Between the two groups, we had about 20% of the originally registered 200 people. I'm hoping AR hires some pit-bull lawyers and takes aggressive legal action to restore our rights to PUBLIC assembly and free speech. An article about my experiences at the conference, "What I Saw in Charlotte," is at http://www.amren.com (Feb 11).
In my observations, and in my opinion, most of the people that post at amren are racists. They hate anyone who isn't non-white and any white person that doesn't align exactly with their racist view of the world. They are not realists as amren likes to position themselves.
You're wrong. We ARE the racial realists, as the mainstream media, academics and liberal politicians refuse to be. This country has become so politically correct that sometimes telling the truth, calling a spade a spade, so to speak, becomes automatically "White racism" in some people's minds.

Philosophy and the Visual Arts Salon: Philosopher Sacha Golob in Conversation with the Artist Jane Wildgoose
Philosophy and the Visual Arts Salon
March saw the latest in the highly successful series of TCCE Philosophy and the Visual Arts salons – it was a real pleasure to introduce and talk with the artist Jane Wildgoose. These salons are designed to bring together artists, curators, philosophers and anyone with an interest in these issues to talk informally with an artist about his or her work and practice.
As you'll see from the audio and the accompanying slide show, Jane's work covers a number of immediately compelling themes – death, mourning, collecting, memory and others. But what is particularly striking is the way she offers a distinctive set of perspectives on these issues. For example, her exhibition at the Crypt Gallery St. Pancras combines a visceral feeling of fear and intimacy, of descending among the dead, with painstaking scholarly work on the archival documents that chronicle the interments. Similarly, her work on human remains is at once an artistic exploration of the nature of mourning and a project with serious political implications – how should museums treat objects stolen wholesale from peoples for whom they still hold enormous cultural and emotional significance?
This was primarily an artistic discussion and one of the aspects I found most interesting was Jane's closing remarks on how she sees her broader practice – on the effects of her work, for example. But the talk and the audience questions also raised a number of important philosophical issues: how should we now see the artist's role, how we should understand practice such as collecting, and how we should think about different forms of order or taxonomy?

Inside Out Festival 2012: Where Are All The Women? Debate


The E-Mini S&P 500 closed on the highs of the day in the midst of disappointing New Home Sales numbers and the concerns emanating from a slowed Chinese economy and potential recession fears in Europe. This bullish trend has endured mixed data and contagion fears of potential defaults in the Euro Zone. The resilience has been astounding. US New Home Sales decreased by 1.6% to a seasonally adjusted 313,000 unit annual rate. This report was forecast at 325,000 unit annual rate. The housing market is still depressed with a multitude of foreclosed homes weighing on the market. There were still 150,000 units of new homes in inventory on the market as of last month. The recent upbeat US data has the investment world dismissing the potential QE3, but reports such as this may put stimulus right back on the table.
