A major part of any cutting operation is related to the condition and life of the consumable parts in the cutting torch. As the consumables wear, expect the quality of cut to change in terms of edge angularity, kerf width (part size), and dross formation.
While the best technology torches available today have consumable life in excess of ten times that of torches designed a few decades ago, it is imperative that the machine operator pays careful attention to the condition of the consumables, and to the cutting parameters that affect cut quality and consumable life in any plasma cutting application. This will ensure the lowest cost per cut as well as the best cut quality.
This course introduces the most common Hypertherm plasma consumables and their features, how to properly configure consumables and assemble torches, and how to maximize your consumable life and cut quality.
Short video tutorials to learn why and when you should replace your Powermax® consumables.
The only real bargain is real value. Using genuine Hypertherm consumables for your Hypertherm plasma cutting system is the only way to ensure optimal performance.
If you suspect that you have unknowingly purchased a counterfeit Hypertherm product, we can help.

BILLY JOEL ROLLS OUT NEW 2020 TOUR DATES
by admin | Oct 14, 2019 | Music News
Billy Joel has just added two new shows to his 2020 itinerary. New dates now on the books are set for February 20th at Tampa, Florida's Amelie Arena and June 20th at Notre Dame, Indiana's Notre Dame Stadium. Fans are still waiting for the "Piano Man" to reveal the venue for his "New Year's Eve" concert, which usually takes place in Florida. Billy next performs on October 25th at New York's Madison Square Garden.
It was 36 years ago this past summer, on August 9th, 1983, An Innocent Man, Billy Joel's ninth studio album, was released. The set peaked at Number Four on the Billboard 200 albums chart and spent 29 weeks in the Top 10. Among the massive hits featured on the album was the Top Three instant classic "Uptown Girl" -- which has earned its spot as one of Billy's nightly encores: "It's written kind of tongue-in-cheek. It was written as an homage to Frankie Valli & The Four Seasons who wrote a song called 'Rag Doll'; that was the reverse. That was about a girl who was from the wrong side of the tracks and he was from a rich family -- so I kind of flipped it around and I made it -- 'I'm the downtown guy and she's the uptown girl.' And it's kind of a. . . I don't wanna say a joke, but it's an homage to that kind of writing. The words are kind of silly: 'When my ship comes in, then I'll win.' It's not the greatest lyric ever -- but it was written as a fun thing."

The name of the independent audit firm auditing Konrad Mizzi's trust set-up in New Zealand will only be made public once the audit is published, Prime Minister Joseph Muscat has reiterated.
Konrad Mizzi, the former minister energy now a minister without portfolio, has been subjected to two audit investigations, one by the Inland Revenue Commissioner and the other by an international audit firm. The government has so far refused to name the firm.
The audit is into Mizzi's trust set-up in New Zealand – which is run by trustees connected to the Mossack Fonseca group in Panama – and the company set up in Panama, which is in turn owned by a trustee firm that manages the trust.
OPM chief of staff Keith Schembri had also asked a firm of auditors independent of his financial consultants to carry out a verification of his own New Zealand setup and its operations.
"At the end of the day there will be a signature that confirms that there was no money in these companies," Muscat said today.
The Prime Minister would not comment on whether Mizzi should have diverted questions raised in court to himself.
"I wasn't there and I don't know what he said. I haven't seen the transcripts," he said.

Security 2.0 - Countering Pirates in the Age of Automation
Vlad I. Sutea
In order to remain competitive and efficient, the maritime sector is spearheading innovation in virtually all aspects related to seafaring. Automation, Artificial Intelligence and Digitalization will all come to play a major role in the Industry's future. Regardless of where you stand on the human versus automation debate, the course is set for greater automation in shipping, and while traditional pirates are unlikely to trade their AK- 47s for keyboards, existing crime syndicates operating in cyberspace are likely to spill over into the seven seas.

A Flag Under Siege: Security or Loyalty?
Ever since their inception back in the 1920s, Flags of Convenience (FoC) have been a subject of no small amount of controversy. The practice originally began during prohibition, when American cruise ships would fly under the Panamanian flag in order to be able to serve alcohol to passengers and thus escape the stringent US regulations at the time.

Saudi Arabia tells Israel only peace deal can ensure its survival
Reuters , Tuesday 12 Aug 2014
Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal speaks during a joint news conference with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry (not pictured) in Riyadh November 4, 2013 (Photo: Reuters)
Saudi Arabia welcomes nomination of new Iraq PM as 'good news'

Saudi gives $1 bn as Lebanon seeks arms to battle jihadists
Saudi Arabia donates $80 mn to Gaza
Saudi Arabia told Israel on Tuesday that it must reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians if it is to survive as a nation, and criticised Muslims for being divided and failing to stop the Israelis attacking its Arab neighbours.
"Israel has to realize that peace is the only solution for its survival," Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal told a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the world's largest Muslim body, on the situation in the Gaza Strip.
"As we see, Israel does not shy away from taking its terror to any level, with total disregard to any laws, rules, religious edicts or humanitarian considerations to achieve its goals.
"Its only objective is to uproot the Palestinian existence wherever it is," Prince Saud told the meeting in Jeddah, attended by Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and ministers from the 56-member OIC.
Saudi Arabia, which regards itself as a leader of the Sunni Muslim world, has played only a background role in the diplomacy to end the fighting in Gaza, leaving its ally Egypt as the main Arab player pursuing a ceasefire - in its second day on Tuesday.
The kingdom's policy towards Gaza is complicated by its mistrust of the territory's ruling Hamas, an Islamist movement with close ideological and political links to the Muslim Brotherhood, which Riyadh regards as a terrorist organisation.
Saudi Arabia believes the Brotherhood has a region-wide agenda to seize power from established governments, including the al-Saud dynasty, and has quarrelled with Qatar over its support for the group.
Gaza hospital officials say 1,938 Palestinians have been killed since Israel launched a military campaign on July 8. Israel has lost 64 soldiers and three civilians.
Efforts to negotiate a permanent peace deal have failed due to differences over the borders of a Palestinian state, the fate of Arab East Jerusalem and the future of displaced Palestinians and their descendents.
No Right To Self-Defence As Occupier
The veteran foreign minister also rejected Western backing of Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas rockets.
"Israel does not have a right of self-defence as an occupier. There is no rule under international law that says an occupier has a right of self-defence. For any country to take that position shows bad intentions towards the region and bad intentions towards peace in the region," Prince Saud told a news conference after the OIC meeting.
"I don't think it's fair to equate the actions of Hamas and Israel, either in scale or in substance. How can you say that Israel has a right to defend itself when it is the occupier and you do not give the same right to Hamas?"
Arab states, including Saudi Arabia, say they are willing to make peace with Israel after it withdraws from all lands it occupied in the 1967 Middle east war. Hamas' founding charter calls for the destruction of Israel, but its leaders have said in recent years it could live peacefully alongside Israel if Palestinians get back land they lost in 1967.
Prince Saud said the country's development fund would "continue to abide by the kingdom's commitments" by contributing $500 million for Gaza's reconstruction.
Offering 300 million Saudi riyals ($80 million) for medical relief aid, Prince Saud also called for support for Egyptian efforts to end the fighting, saying Muslim divisions had allowed Israel to repeatedly launch wars against Muslims.
"Would it have been possible for Israel to carry out an aggression after another, had the Islamic nation been united?" Prince Saud said.
"What tempts Israel to commit its continuous crimes against the Palestinian people and Muslims as a whole is the weakness it sees in the Muslim nation due to fragmentation and divisions and the spread of sedition within it."

Speech of the Saudi FM on Gaza
All praises and thanks be to Allah swt! The speech of the FM Sauddi Prince is long overdue but timely. Our brothers in Gaza and the Palestinians as a whole need Saudi Arabia in this time of Crisis and needs! 65 years of Zionist Israel genocide, murder, apartheid on Gaza and West Bank and the whole of Palestine is enough to come to the rescue of the Gazans. The whole world stands firm and solid for Gaza therefore the Arab nations and their Arab leaders should be at the forefront not behind. It is bloody shameful on them. Our Arab leaders should not think of the Gazans and the people of Palestine as their future enemies. That's wrong! Arab leaders should fear first and foremost ISRAHELL! The fear of the Brotherhood and the Hamas are poison planted by the Israel and US in their heart. The Arab leaders know the regime change in Egypt in order to suit the interest and agenda of US and Israel. May Allah swt purify the hearts, souls and minds of all Arab leaders! Aameen!

Israel's only an occupier of the disputed lands bcs of Pal "not enough"
It very well would make peace if the other side wouldn't continously reject even the most generous peace offers (Olmert) or ridiculize Israel by saying "yes, we can vote down that charter article" and then, when Netanyahu said "so now we can have peace as it's downvoted" "no, it isn't, to be downvoted would have required 2/3 of the votes and the hands that went up weren't counted" (Arafat towards Netanyahu). No way to get peace if even a way smaller Israel's right to existence isn't on the table for ever and ever. Otherwise, Saudi's King is totally correct: Only peace is the way...

generous according to whom?
Even Hitler considered his peace offers to the allies generous.

Apple iPad: Best reading apps
By Basil Kronfli
With the new iPad expected to offer a better than full HD display, it has fast become the best tablet on the market for reading ebooks and magazines. The high resolution screen will make text look considerably more crisp spread across its 2048×1536 pixels, and this in turn will make digital reading apps instantly more desirable. We've therefore updated our list of top iPad reading app so when your shiny new HD tablet lands, you will know what to install to show off your serifs and in-app imagery.
Well, this is an obvious one really. It's Apple's e-books app that combines a store and reader software. Launching alongside the original iPad, it's got a growing catalogue of free and paid e-books to choose from, with its key advantage being the way you pay through your iTunes Store account in a couple of taps. Free samples, the ability to read PDFs, and a nifty page-turning effect add to its appeal. You can also sync your current page and bookmarks with the iPhone version of the app.
Amazon isn't leaving iPad e-reading to Apple: it's iPad version of its Kindle Reader app is available for iOS too. The big selling point is the size of Amazon's e-book catalogue and the cross-compatibility with Amazon's Kindle and other platforms including Android and PC / Mac. It syncs your current page, bookmarks, notes and highlights across other Kindle platforms and supports e-books with both audio and video.
Offering a charming alternative to iBooks and Kindle, in addition to an attractive UI offering up text-selection, an in-app dictionary and the option to highlight books, there are also over a million free books in the Kobo market. If therefore you're one of many who's saved all your pennies for an iPad 3 and need to be frugal with your app purchases for the time being, Kobo can definitely keep you entertained until next month's paycheck lands.
Thanks to its highly customisable UI, Stanza gets a mention in our list of reader libraries. It not only offers the standard night or day mode, but enables an array of personalisation ranging from link colours right through to foggy starlit backdrops for your text. It also allows you to open PDFs and other eBooks through it which is very handy indeed.
Another area causing plenty of excitement on the App Store is e-comics, with the big guns of the industry early to launch their own iPad apps. Marvel's offers hundreds of archive comics to buy and view inside it, including the likes of Iron Man, Spider-Man, Wolverine and Captain America. You can browse the pages in full, or switch to a 'panel-by-panel' view for a bit more visual flair. Marvel stores details of all your purchases too, so if and when you upgrade to the next-gen iPad, you'll be able to re-download your collection. The individual comics tend to cost about £2.50 each.
Something's missing from the Marvel app: Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Sandman… Those characters/franchises are all published by rival DC Comics, which has its own iPad app. It has a huge catalogue of archive comics to choose from, as well as new releases. Like its rival, it has a choice between reading in full-page mode, or something called 'Guided View'. And as with Marvel, it backs up your collection so you can access it on other devices too. It's free, with comics also costing about £2.50 each via in-app payments.

Donald Trump accuses Meghan of 'disrespecting' Queen and 'using Prince Harry'
12/01/2021 Comments Off on Donald Trump accuses Meghan of 'disrespecting' Queen and 'using Prince Harry'
Donald Trump has taken aim at Meghan Markle in a brutal rant, accusing her of 'disrespecting the Queen' and 'using Prince Harry'.
The former US president made the comments in a GB News interview with Nigel Farage which will air tonight (December 1) at 7pm.
Among other things, Trump told the former UKIP leader that he has never been a "fan" of Meghan, and that the Sussexes' actions have "hurt" Her Majesty.
He said: "I'm not a fan of hers. I wasn't from day one. I think Harry has been used horribly and I think someday he will regret it.
"I think Harry's been used and been used terribly. I think it's ruined his relationship with his family, and it hurts the Queen.
"I think she's been very disrespectful to the Queen, who's such a great woman, such a great person, a historic person.
"I think she's very disrespectful to the Royal Family and most importantly to the Queen."
Farage also asked Trump about Meghan using her royal title while acting in a political capacity in the US.
The duchess came under fire in October after using the Sussexes' headed paper to send letter to Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, and Charles Schumer, the Majority Leader of the US Senate, campaigning for paid parental leave.
"She is trying to do things that I think are very inappropriate," Trump responded.
Farage promoted tonight's interview online, telling his 1.6 million Twitter followers last night: "Don't miss it."
However, fans have praised the duchess for speaking up for parents and working families.
Meghan and Harry moved to the US with son Archie last March and welcomed their baby daughter in June.
They named the bundle of joy after the Queen, calling her Lilibet Diana in a moving tribute.
The Daily Star has contacted representatives of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex for comment.
The interview won't be the first time that the politician and former The Apprentice host has been critical of Meghan.
Responding to rumours in September that Meghan was considering a presidential campaign in 2024, he told Fox News: "I hope that happens because if that happened then I think I'd have an even stronger feeling towards running. I'm not a fan of hers.
"I've met with the Queen and I think the Queen is a tremendous person and I'm not a fan of Meghan."
Those comments came after Harry and Meghan urged US voters to "reject hate speech, misinformation and online negativity" ahead of the 2020 election, in what was considered a swipe at the then sitting president.
Trump has also previously described Meghan as "nasty" in 2019 because of her past criticisms of him.

April 9th 2014, will be the day that Microsoft will finally kill off Windows XP or at least all support for that operating system. As an engineer, who has worked with Microsoft operating systems since Windows 95, there are is place in my heart for the dependable Windows XP. I probably know XP too well, inside and out. However, there comes a time with technology, that we must move away from the old and grudgingly move forward.
Of the two workstations and three laptops, that I use on a continuous basis, three of them are still Windows XP. I will feel the pain, as I put to bed two of my three Windows XP machines. For tech support reasons, I will keep a Windows XP machine around as long I can. How will the death of Windows XP really impact those of us who have kept the dependable machines around?
The biggest and most immediate impact will be that Microsoft will no longer release any updates for Windows XP. No new service packs, OS enhancements or security updates. This last piece, the security is the most concerning. A number of certifications require that organizations ensure that their computers are fully updated and patched. If Microsoft isn't releasing patches, and you are running older workstations, this could be a compliance issue. PCI DSS (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard) compliance requires that organizations "develop a system to identify new security vulnerabilities and remediate them when the update is made available". If vulnerabilities are made known, but there are no security patches, this would be a compliance issue.
Then there are zero day exploits. Viruses or malware that attack newly discovered weakness will become a problem, as Microsoft won't even bother to address them. Without Microsoft releasing their code base to other third party developers, there is a chance these holes will never be patched. In the long run there will be some major security issues that will need to be addressed.
Outside of the security issues, there is one item that is left to be discussed. Windows XP is the first Microsoft OS that requires online activation. Okay, if you have a volume license, you can ignore this next part but for any home users and even a large number of business users, you rely on Microsoft allowing you to use their phone or online activation service when you install or at times, repair your Windows installation. At this point in time, Microsoft has not fully agreed to maintain their activation servers after the drop dead date. That means that as of April 9th, you might only get 30 days from your Windows installation before it stops functioning.
There are number of arguments for Microsoft to terminate support. At some point they need to put to bed the operating system that they have been working on over 12 years. So, what is there to really worry about?
1) No more service packs and hot fixes mean potential security holes that will go unpatched.
The positive spin to this is that Microsoft does have two good operating systems to choose from when you do your upgrade. Windows 7 has proven to be a good replacement and Windows 8 has some perks too.

Furniture Friends has been helping internationals get settled in for over 15 years.
The NWA community has generously donated over $20,000 in furniture to Furniture Friends.
As of this writing, our furniture is being used rent-free in over 200 international homes.
Furniture Friends has been fortunate to help internationals from over 50 countries.
3. We then deliver the furniture to your home / apartment.
4. Before returning home, you return the furniture so that it can benefit someone else.
Why are we doing this / is this a scam?
Good question. Furniture Friends exists because several years ago one man decided he wanted to do something to help the international students studying at the University of Arkansas. So he started buying furniture and delivering it to students after work.
Years later, several invested friends have taken over to continue to spread the message of "loving your neighbor" taught by Jesus by helping international students, refugees, and immigrants to get settled into their new homes.


The Rare Disease Initiative Zurich (radiz) is a CCRP revolving around developing improved treatments for patients with rare diseases. It's one of the University of Zurich's eleven clinical research priority programs. UZH News is presenting a series of features on these programs.
Even though there's often only a minor genetic defect, the search for the right therapy can be complicated. Matthias Baumgartner heads the clinical research priority program for rare diseases.
There are around half a million people in Switzerland suffering from rare diseases. A disease is deemed to be rare if it affects fewer than five in 10,000 people, causes a lasting disability or is life-threatening. Most rare diseases, however, affect only one in 100,000 people or even fewer.
And yet these "rare" diseases aren't rare at all: On average, five new rare diseases a week are described for the first time in a medical journal. "New genetic defects that can cause rare diseases are constantly being discovered," explains metabolic disease specialist Professor Matthias Baumgartner at UZH. He heads the Rare Disease Initiative Zurich (radiz) clinical research priority program, established in 2012.
Rare diseases are generally due to a genetic defect, so symptoms often emerge as early as infancy or childhood. Take the example of Julia*. Julia, now age seven and one of Baumgartner's patients, has a rare metabolic disease called methylmalonic acidemia (MMA), which means her body doesn't break down amino acids properly. It leads to life-threatening deficiencies. The body also produces substances that effectively poison Julia from the inside.
The 21,000 or so human genes are sensitive, so any defects don't necessarily have to be serious to cause a great deal of suffering in certain circumstances. Many people with rare diseases spend years going from one doctor to another until someone finally makes the right diagnosis. It's even worse for patients with one of those baffling, as yet unknown conditions that still have no name.
A rare disease often means a dramatic odyssey from one medical establishment to the next for the families and their children. Julia's condition wasn't recognized until she was a year and a half old. Prior to that the family physician had wrongly assumed she had an intolerance to cow's milk.
But her wooziness and vomiting turned out to have a very different cause: Endogenous toxins were attacking her body and brain. Finally doctors realized that she was suffering from methylmalonic acidemia (MMA). As a result of the disease, Julia was no longer able to walk, and her development was impaired. Children used to die from this condition. "Now we know that patients have a good chance of survival if they keep to a strict low-protein diet their whole life long," explains Baumgartner. But the body continues to produce toxins, which slowly destroy the kidney.
It's still not known why this damage occurs to the kidney in particular, and what could be done to protect it. "For this reason we clinical practitioners rely on intensive collaboration with basic researchers," says Baumgartner, pointing to his close partnership with UZH renal physiologist Professor Olivier Devuyst. The two physicians hope that together they'll eventually be able to help patients like Julia.
Baumgartner says research into rare diseases is fascinating, and constitutes a major academic challenge because it leads to completely unknown realms of medicine. Insights in this field could give a huge boost to other areas of medicine. This has been the case, for example, with a rare enzyme defect that was recently shown to lead to symptoms of poisoning in the peripheral nerves. Interestingly for researchers, says Baumgartner, patients with type 2 diabetes (a disease that occurs frequently) display the same symptoms of poisoning. He's become a strong proponent of research into rare diseases, an area that's still often seen as a poor relation in the world of medicine. In addition to researchers and clinicians, Baumgartner would like to encourage young academics to take an interest in the field.
Baumgartner is using the resources that have come with recognition of this work as a clinical research priority program for a variety of purposes. He's moving ahead with research at the University Children's Hospital, University Hospital Zurich, and UZH, where various PhD students and clinician-scientists are working on a range of research modules. He's also trying to encourage clinicians and basic researchers to investigate rare diseases. For this reason, since 2013 radiz has been holding a summer school.
In general, however, funding for research into rare diseases tends to be scarce. The pharmaceuticals industry shows only sporadic interest. Added to this is a lack of model organisms, diagnostic standards, and effective treatment options, plus the fact that case histories are available on only a fragmentary basis. The Swiss Federal Office of Public Health has recognized these shortcomings, and in September 2014 approved a national initiative on rare diseases.

Q: Async issue on getting values from the server In my viewDidLoad I do:
// Get Profile Info
    NSOperationQueue.mainQueue().addOperationWithBlock { () -> Void in
        let getMyProfileURL = "\(self.property.host)\(self.property.getMyProfile)"
        print(getMyProfileURL)
        Alamofire.request(.POST, getMyProfileURL, parameters: self.property.profileParameteres, encoding: .JSON).responseJSON { response in
            do {
                let json = JSON(data: response.data!)

                if json["user"].count > 0 {
                    self.profileDetails.append(ProfileDetailsModel(json: json["user"]))
                }
            }
        }

        print(self.profileDetails[0].firstName)
    }

so, when I want to get the firstName from the array:
 print(self.profileDetails[0].firstName)

my app crashes with the error:
fatal error: Array index out of range

My array is empty. I've used NSOperationQueue for it, but I still get empty array and crash. How can I fix this problem and access my filled array from anywhere in my controller, not only inside the Alamofire block?

A: The Request is Asynchronous, it will only fill the self.profileDetails array when it receive an answer, and execute the completionHandler block.
In your code, you call to execute the Asynchronous task, it will run in another thread, and the app goes back to the next operation and immediately try to access the self.profileDetails, with at the time may still be nil.
You must wait the completion handler block finish to fill the array, and then access the data.
The code of @Md.Muzahidul Islam , will work as you want.

A: Now it will work fine
  NSOperationQueue.mainQueue().addOperationWithBlock { () -> Void in
        let getMyProfileURL = "\(self.property.host)\(self.property.getMyProfile)"
        print(getMyProfileURL)
        Alamofire.request(.POST, getMyProfileURL, parameters: self.property.profileParameteres, encoding: .JSON).responseJSON { response in
            do {
                let json = JSON(data: response.data!)

                if json["user"].count > 0 {
                    self.profileDetails.append(ProfileDetailsModel(json: json["user"]))
                }
            }
        print(self.profileDetails[0].firstName)
        }

    }

A: I'd suggest refactoring your code to move this to a function outside of your viewDidLoad and then adding your own completion handler. Something like:
func getData(completion: () -> Void) {
    NSOperationQueue.mainQueue().addOperationWithBlock { () -> Void in
        let getMyProfileURL = "\(self.property.host)\(self.property.getMyProfile)"
        print(getMyProfileURL)
        Alamofire.request(.POST, getMyProfileURL, parameters: self.property.profileParameteres, encoding: .JSON).responseJSON { response in
            do {
                let json = JSON(data: response.data!)

                if json["user"].count > 0 {
                    self.profileDetails.append(ProfileDetailsModel(json: json["user"]))
                }
            }
            completion()
        }
    }
}

Then in viewDidLoad you can call it with its completion handler to access the data outside of the Alamofire block after it's finished, e.g.
getData() {
    print(self.profileDetails[0].firstName)
}


It's the end of an era in the Windy City, as iconic African-American magazine Ebony and sister title Jet exit Chicago following a sale by longtime proprietor Johnson Publishing.
The transition includes layoffs for most of the magazines' Chicago staffers, effectively spelling the end of publishing operations there. A number of Johnson Publishing executives are also on the way out from the company.
In June 2016, after publishing Ebony and Jet for seven decades, Johnson Publishing sold the titles to Texas-based private equity firm Clear View Group, an African-American-owned private-equity firm that invests in businesses serving that marketplace, including the assumption of an unspecified amount of debt.
Clear View formed a new company, Ebony Media, to take control of the magazines, while Johnson retained ownership of its Fashion Fair cosmetics line.
Last week, Clear View cut 10 out of 35 total positions at Ebony, including editor-in-chief Kyra Kyles. The private-equity firm announced the magazines would move to new offices in Los Angeles, where the remaining staff will report to editor Tracey Ferguson.
Separately, Johnson Publishing CEO Desiree Rogers, the former White House social secretary who led its cosmetics business, is also departing the company, effective June 2. Johnson publishing chairman Linda Johnson Rice, daughter of founder John Johnson, will serve as CEO.
The moves spell the end of Johnson's 71-year-long publishing business in Chicago, which dates back to 1945, when Johnson launched Ebony to address political and social issues affecting African-Americans. Jet, a weekly news, opinion, culture and lifestyle title, launched in 1951 and moved to a digital-only publication in 2014.
In April, Ebony became the target of a social-media movement by disgruntled freelancers who took to Twitter to complain it was late in paying contributors. The magazine's management vowed to pay freelancers, but it's not clear how or when this will happen.

Q: Downside to use a higher current Solid State Relay? I need to buy a solid state relay and I found that the price difference between a 10A one and a 40A one is really small, sometimes even 0. So I'm wondering, what are the downsides of buying the bigger ones which is probably more robust if it's only a few cents more ?
I looked at the datasheet and from what I understand, the control circuit is the same, and the output voltage drop is also the same. So I'm wondering, with a price difference that small, the company making them would probably have benefited from only having one reference to build and sell, so if they're still making the small ones, there should be a reason, right ?

The KuBa Conceit Revisited
"The people had forfeited the confidence of their government."
Kurt "KuBa" Barthel (left) and Bertolt Brecht.
Dear, oh dear… the heart just breaks for the beautiful people, the enlightened sorts who know everything better than all the commoners (or those who are categorized as lowly commoners because they dare disagree with the self-acclaimed omniscients). The beautiful souls just keep suffering unaccountable ballot box setbacks despite incessantly proclaiming their own unassailable wisdom to all humanity – from every available microphone, in front of any flattering camera and from every printed page.
They confidently crow that most of the astuteness relegated to mankind was bestowed upon them. Yet why is it that the inferior plebeians don't simply vote as their intellectual and moral superiors dictate?
The latest to bemoan the inherent unfairness of the democratic processes are posh and posh-wannabe Brits. Along with European high priests of multiculturalism (and their better-than-their-lessers cronies everywhere) they had just been awfully gobsmacked to learn that they lost the referendum on the UK's continued stay in the EU.
We won't get into the nitty-gritty of the actual issues. It's a matter for Brits and we aren't Brits. But what is so striking is the conceit of the smug elites who had already put their champagne bottles in their chic ice buckets only to discover that the disdainful masses had deprived them of the pleasure of a stylish celebration…
That's when the sour grapes replaced the cool bubbly. That's when bucket-fulls of pent-up frustration and scorn was poured on the commoners who dared not see the light from establishment bastions, not be impressed by the unfailingly shrewd analyses of spot-on (so they say) talking-heads, not be disheartened by predictable pollsters and not be humbly swayed by the in-crowd's obligatory zeitgeist.
The sore-loser backlash is by no means a new phenomenon, though the social media and cyber-chatter amplify it as never before. We in Israel know it all too well. Just pre-Election Day last year, our detached Left was sure it had wrested control of the government back from the backward people. Agreeable pollsters and court commentators celebrated prematurely right along with the trendy ones.
If anything, Israel's aloof Left has long enjoyed the vociferous support of like-minded allies the world over. Please click on the link below to access the column I wrote in October 2010 on precisely this arrogance. The haughtiness then was served up, significantly enough, by Bill Clinton – who's now busy fielding Mrs. Clinton for another Clinton White House stint.
The Clintons are poster children (age and wrinkles notwithstanding) for the conceited enlightened ones who appoint themselves as condescending guides for the benighted commoners.
Read my column – Another Tack: Clinton's KuBa conceit – to take in what Clinton told Israelis not too many years ago, be reminded and apply Bertolt Brecht's 20th century recommendation to the Clintonesque gibberish that, alas, still proliferates today.

How twisted is it to fund leftist pollsters to be continually wrong? Guessing that money is as pure as joe kennedy's.
Robert Wiseman Canada on June 24, 2016 at 8:35 PM said:
Nice Summery Sarah. In brief I always said that one of the fundamental conditions people want in a country is
1) Political Sovereignty
2) Political accountablity
The EU under the current system is revised Russian Duma based on political appointments, and no accountability. This is why here in Canada people want to come here and set up and control their own lives.
The screaming, yelling and finger pointing will continue as England reorganizes themselves, but this move toward political sovereignty and independence and self-reliance, will be the first of many take backs of English sovereignty going forward.
Dr. David Uri on June 24, 2016 at 8:46 PM said:
Excellent and succinct rendition with laser like accuracy of the facts and realities as they really are, that smear the noses of the left into the excrement that they espouse. well done Sarah – excellent!!!
Chris Rettenmoser on June 24, 2016 at 11:31 PM said:
Not long ago the most important task of the EU was to put a ban on Israeli products.
As the Arab loving Brits are leaving the stinking ship, some new and interesting problems will have to be solved…LOL
This was undoubtedly Britains worst day since the loss of the evil Empire…
The most inglorious British bastards will now leave the EU and weaken one of Israels most dangerous enemies ! THIS WAS A VERY GOOD DAY !!!!!!!!

You're back. Yay! And tougher than ever!
Robert Wieder on June 25, 2016 at 12:03 AM said:
Sarah you are the last coherent voice left in the whole world. G_d bless you.
Steven Bernstein on June 25, 2016 at 3:01 PM said:
Wouldn't it be simpler to dissolve the Israeli people? Sarah asks rhetorically, as an expression of Clinton's wish for Israel. So that's what Obama is trying to do to the USA, by bringing in thousands of no-account Syrian refugees, and branding opposition to this immigration madness as "Islamophobic." Thus the Brexit vote will be mirrored in Trump's election as President. But a true measure of how Bill and Hillary understand the American and Israeli public is the money the Clinton Foundation takes from countries such as Saudi Arabia. The Clinton Foundation has taken somewhere between $10,000,000 and $25,000,000 from that benighted oil kingdom. Arrogance? Hillary then claims she supports women's rights. I don't know…lots of American voters believe her.

Do all Big Ten schools have hockey?
The All-Big Ten Teams are composed of players at all positions from teams that are members of the Big Ten Conference, an NCAA Division I conference.
First Team players by school.
Ohio State 7
Penn State 6
There are 60 Division One College Hockey teams in the nation, each with its own unique history and traditions.
Once Penn State took the ice, that gave the Big Ten six members with varsity men's hockey—the number of schools required under conference bylaws for official sponsorship of a sport, and also the number of members required for a conference to receive an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.
Tom Schott, the assistant athletics director of communications, would like for Purdue to add men's ice hockey as a varsity team but doesn't see it happening in the near future. "We are on the low side of sports offered and we would like to add to that but we don't have the funds to do that right now," Schott said.
Format: All seven teams qualify. The top seed earns a bye to the semifinals, where is joined by the winners of three first-round series. Semifinal winners meet in the championship game. First round: Best-of-three series, March 8-10 at campus sites: Seed 7 at 2, 6 at 3, 5 at 4.

Welcome to my website. I write crime mystery novels – with a touch of noir – set in Merseyside and the north of England. The themes are often dark but the stories are always served with a generous helping of black humour. My influences are as much films – Chinatown, Get Carter, Point Blank – as books but I have been inspired by writers ranging from Jim Thompson and Christopher Brookmyre to Joseph Conrad and Cormac McCarthy.
All my novels are available as paperbacks and ebooks on Amazon; click on the images above to buy. You can read a selection of reviews, the back cover blurb and first chapter of each book on the relevant My Books page. I'm not a bestseller yet: A Fair Wack got to 15 in the noir genre but you have to reach the top 100 overall to claim bestseller status. Here's hoping! A Fair Wack and Time Lapse were self published and were included by Awesome Indies in their list of quality books that meet mainstream publishing standards. Not Without Risk and Pool of Life were published by AIA Publishing, a new small publisher in Australia. All the books have attracted good reviews from rated reviewers such as Grady Harp, top 100 reviewer on Amazon, Blogger Jaffa Reads Too, Reader's Favorite, Midwest Book Reviews, Foreword Clarion Reviews and The San Francisco Book Review. Probably the most satisfying review though came from a complete stranger on the other side of the world who loved one of the books and gave it five stars on Amazon!
I have set up pages covering the settings of my novels, such as Merseyide and Liverpool in particular, and my interests which range from rock climbing to conservation of historic buildings and areas. In my blog, I occasionally review books and films. Please let me know what you think. Good or bad!
