FEDERAL PROBE: Tompkins Sheriff supports look into standoff
Andrew Casler
acasler@ithacajournal.com | @AndrewCasler
Tompkins County Sheriff Ken Lansing and the co-owner of a home destroyed during a January 2015 fatal standoff reacted Wednesday to news that the U.S. Department of Justice will conduct a probe into law enforcement actions during the incident.
Tompkins County Deputy Administrator Paula Younger announced Tuesday that the DOJ will review the incident that occurred on Hornbrook Road. The standoff in Danby ended Jan. 2, 2015, after David Cady was found dead inside his home from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
As police attempted to force Cady outside, they destroyed the house, which Cady's family rented, by tearing away walls and filling the residence with tear gas.
Cady reportedly fired a single shot in the vicinity of a police car and Tompkins County sheriff's deputy. Officials say that shot escalated police actions during the incident.
The DOJ's Community Oriented Policing Services will take about 60 days to conduct the probe, Younger told Tompkins County lawmakers Tuesday night.
The probe is aimed at building trust and nurturing legitimacy "in terms of the public being assured that our law enforcement acted appropriately and procedurally," Younger said.
Inside the standoff at 127 Hornbrook Road
The probe will be independent, Younger added. "They've made very clear to us that they're not putting a rubber stamp on anything; they're coming in with a fresh eye, as we have requested."
Sheriff Lansing said he supports the probe.
"Anytime you do anything, there's always things that can be learned," Lansing said.
The probe will focus events before the standoff, including Cady's court proceedings, treatment options and penalties for breaking the law, Lansing added.
Cady was a repeat driving-while-intoxicated offender, and he and his wife had evaded more than 12 attempts to serve a warrant for his arrest, according to the Tompkins County Sheriff's Office after-action report on the incident.
"I think there's stuff to be learned," Lansing added. "We'll see what the study says; maybe there's some stuff that we didn't see that (DOJ) will see as they do the investigation."
With a year passed since the incident and the benefit of hindsight, Lansing added that his only regret is the standoff didn't end with Cady's peaceful surrender.
Joseph Petricola, who owns the Hornbrook Road home with business partner Robert Bartholf, said a lawsuit is still pending against Tompkins County for destruction of the building.
"We'd like to see that the house be taken care of; that's the main thing, our loss there," Petricola said. Insurance won't cover damages to the home, he added.
Petricola said it's "cut and dry" that local law enforcement went overboard in attempting to force Cady from the home. "It just looks like it was really overdone ... they went too far," he said.
In mid-May, Younger announced that she had started working with the Department of Justice's Bureau of Justice Assistance on an investigation into the incident. But in September, federal officials told Younger that the department's Community Oriented Policing Services would be best suited to handle an investigation into the incident.
"I realize that it has been a long wait," Younger said. "I think that this is going to be an important opportunity for both our law enforcement agencies as well as our local community."

What aspects of each drawing have been successful, and what did you have problems with?
I drew this drawing from scratch without sketching in pencil first in this aspect I think I did really well. However I found it very difficult not to start hatching to depict tone and so I probably went overboard on the pumpkin but I feel that it was better to but too much effort in than two little.
I was also dissatisfied with the pumpkin because the actual surface wasn't as rough or bumpy as what I made it out to be in my drawing. In both drawings.
The only problem I had with this is I should have chose a composition that used up more of the paper. I also could have been more adventurous with the subjects that I chose. Apart from that I think I did really well with depicting tone and none of the objects look out of place.
Did you manage to get a sense of depth in your Drawings? What elements of the drawings and still life groupings helped create that sense?
This is one thing I did not have a problem with with the Still Life Group Using Line exercise I did this by placing the tallest objects at the back. With the Still Life Group in Tone I looked down at the group from an angle.
What difficulties were created by being restricted to line or tone?
Like I said earlier sometimes it was very difficult not to cross the fine-line between drawing with line and hatching.
I started with a bit of a study to firstly get the right composition for this exercise and then to try out different colours so I could find three colours that would give me three different tones for this drawing. I feel like I cheated on this exercise as I chose objects that could be drawn easily enough with just three colours, a yellowy green banana, an apple and two green bananas but I just started a high fruit diet the week before and I used objects that were at hand.
Like it instructed me in the brief I screwed up my eyes to take a look at the dark colours only and lightly sketched them in and then chose a different colour to sketch in the mid tones, then another for the light tone. On completion of the initial sketch I decided that my darkest colour was too light and so changed it for my final drawing.
I changed the composition of my final drawing slightly so I could depict the full form of the apple and I'm glad I did. The final drawing took me less than two hours going at a really steady pace and I am really satisfied with the completed drawing and my choice of colours, It would have been nice to apply a fourth colour though and also maybe a variation in orange and reds.
The one thing I am not happy with is the amount of blank space I left on the paper but I tried to make up for this by shading with my darkest colour.
In the brief for this exercise I was to set up a still life group out of objects at my disposal, either objects that naturally connect together or deliberately contrast. For this I did a supermarket shop and purchased onions, a big chunk of knobbly Asian pumpkin and a red cabbage thinking about three objects that gradually went from rough to smooth.
I had to think about the following questions: 'How will I treat the objects?', 'How will their connections be clear?', 'How will I capture the differences between the objects?', 'How do the objects relate to their background? and 'How will I reference the colour in the group in this drawing?.
Then with these questions in mind I had to select a medium such as pen and ink, marker pens or fine black pen and A3 paper and begin to draw; which is exactly what I did. I wanted to use pen and ink for this drawing as I have kept delaying it but when i saw I would be using them in the next project I decided to use a Rotring 0.3 drawing pen.
My objects had already been in the fridge a couple of days so they wouldn't last long once I took them out and my SD card for my camera kept locking due to me removing it too often so I had to work fast as I couldn't get a photo to work from in case I didn't finish before evening came.
There was no drawing this out in pencil first for me, I wanted to do start as I meant to go on and and put my Rotring drawing pen to paper. I started on the outline of the three objects together rather than drawing them individually then when the outline was complete I finished the shape of each object individually.
From there I started on the lines of the onion which were fairly simple and while I worked my way around the onion with a variation of light and dark lines (applying different pressures) I thought about how I was going to approach the different objects. Working from right to left I tackled the red cabbage next and it was extremely difficult; trying to view the patterns as a whole and then working on the lines individually was enough to drive me crazy.
The pumpkin was the next obstacle and because this was a still life group using line I had to exaggerate the texture of the pumpkin at certain parts where there was no real pattern at all. It looks like I have tried my hardest to depict tone here but actually I wasn't thinking about tone at all. I was just trying to complete the surface of the pumpkin with as many different line as possible, squiggly lines, short strokes, anything that came to mind.
The cabbage leaf on the right of the drawing was probably the most difficult object in this drawing and was very difficult to draw without hatching to depict it's smoothness which I wasn't very successful in doing so.
Then when I finished the composition I ruined the whole picture by doing some stupid speckle background and so I decided to have another go.
This time I tried a slightly different angle and the finished drawing was cleaner but there are a lot more things that I am unhappy with. For one I don't know how the cutting board got so out of shape the cabbage leaf didn't turn out that great and the pumpkin surface was a little too exaggerated but certain parts of the pumpkin surface turned out a lot better.

Home Arts & Entertainment Film The Adam Project: Fun and Amazing to Have Ryan Reynolds
The Adam Project: Fun and Amazing to Have Ryan Reynolds
Karan Kapoor
A stylish, futuristic family adventure that captures the essence of '80s science fiction.
The Adam Project is about a man time-travelling back to see himself as a child, which is ideal because it's essentially a journey back to the 1980s family activities. Ryan Reynolds plays a wisecracking time traveller in Netflix's casual but poignant reimaginings of ET, Back to the Future, and Flight of the Navigator for the Marvel age.

The new film will be available on Netflix on March 11. It's a fast-paced, family-friendly sci-fi adventure that reunites Reynolds and filmmaker Shaun Levy following last year's success Free Guy. It has a lot of contagious enthusiasm, and Jennifer Garner, Zoe Saldana, and Mark Ruffalo appear.
Some films have an indelible impact on you from the minute you view them. One of my favourites is The Last Starfighter. In the 1980s, I understood the value of a high arcade score, and The Last Starfighter was the pinnacle of sci-fi fantasy. Many of us kids back then wished to be Starfighters. We watched Flight of the Navigator and ET with the hopes that one day we might be able to embark on our fantastic sci-fi journey.
The Adam Project is the modern-day equivalent of The Last Starfighter.
Ryan Reynolds plays Adam Reed, a future fighter pilot who steals a time machine to travel back in time and save the woman he loves. It's a lovely, straightforward notion that's elevated when he's shot down in the middle of a time leap and ends up many years off track… Only his younger self (Walker Scobell) can assist him in getting back on track.
The Adam Project is a trip back in time, a film that revels in the sci-fi nerdiness of the 1980s while combining epic adventure and meaningful life lessons into a joyful, time-travelling tale.
Of course, when young Adam meets his adult self, he is appropriately terrified — at least initially. Thankfully, it's not long until the two Adams exchange verbal punches, with Ryan Reynolds in fine form, throwing out quips like they're out of style. But this isn't simply more of the same from Reynolds.
Instead, future Adam has a subtle weariness that conceals decades of daddy issues. While Reynolds plays his usual sarcastic shtick for laughs, he balances it out with a reflective, more restrained performance that draws out the real storey – it's all about their father, played by the ever-charismatic Mark Ruffalo. The Adam Project is as much about resolving Adam's personal history as it is about rescuing the future, which is a nice twist that lifts this above a typical time-travel yarn and adds a lot more complexity to the film.
The relationship between Adam, both young and future, is almost ideal.
Walker Scobell, on the other hand, is a complete revelation. The young newcomer delves deeply into what makes young Adam tick, flying his favourite video game like an ace despite getting tossed out of school. Best of all, the connection between young Adam and Adam of the future is nearly flawless.
Their banter is fantastic, lending the picture a comedic edge as future Adam rediscovers what a nerd he once was. Scobell also holds his own against Reynolds, matching his caustic wit pound for pound. He's the ideal young Adam for Reynolds' future Adam, and he's one to keep an eye on.
That clash of personalities applies to The Adam Project's design choices as well, with director Shawn Levy treading an intriguing balance between ultra-futuristic and pleasantly vintage. It's maybe to be expected from a director who has given us Stranger Things and Free Guy, yet the blending of two distinct genres works well.
Future Adam's predicament is reminiscent of Minority Report, as he frantically seeks to change his fate, helped by his ultra-futuristic, DNA-locked equipment from a sleek and gleaming future. But it's more of an '80s frolic for Adam.
The unexplained spaceship crash in the woods behind his house has Flight of the Navigator implications, with Adam, like Elliott in ET the Extra-Terrestrial, concealing his time-travelling secret from his mother. The game's goal here is to tug at our nostalgic strings, which succeeds admirably. Thankfully, it's much more than that, with a sleek take on futuristic time travel that works brilliantly.

The Adam Project is also jam-packed with thrilling action situations. The battle sequences are ferociously simple yet stunningly effective… And, while future Adam may deny that his energy stick weapon is a lightsaber, it is. And, although young Adam is not a fighter, he gets his moment to shine with a masterfully manoeuvred drone takedown that complements future Adam's fisticuffs.
Ryan Reynolds is in the most remarkable shape he's been in a long time.
There's also a particular connection between Reynolds and his director, with Levy getting the most out of his leading man. Reynolds is in the most remarkable shape we've seen in a long time. Rob Simonsen's victorious, sweeping soundtrack completes the retro-futuristic ambience, punctuating this feel-good voyage with huge crescendos and underlining the increasing lit-by-flashlight suspense with classic '80s synth sounds.
On the surface, The Adam Project appears to be just another attempt to entice us with nostalgia. The action-packed sci-fi adventure is reminiscent of our childhoods, and it will undoubtedly appeal to audiences of a certain age. Fortunately, it goes far deeper than that. The Adam Project also offers a narrative about coming to terms with our history and coming to grips with the life we've lived and the decisions we've made.
The time spent establishing the emotional stakes is perhaps the film's most vital point. The Adam Project investigates how young Adam deals with his father's death before the wrong people start shooting. A moment in which Reynolds meets his mother, portrayed by Garner, is given breathing room, and as a result, the rest of the film's fast-paced action is anchored with genuine tenderness. Saldana and Reynolds also have some devastating scenes. Still, Saldana is criminally underutilised (and this is one of those films where you question if the supporting character's off-screen narrative wasn't more compelling than the main character's).
It's a great touch that the timey-wimey explanation of how time travel works are also emotional. Every time travel film, from Looper to The Tomorrow War, needs to come up with some ridiculous reason for why people remember stuff (or don't remember things) or why people's actions alter things (or don't change things). There's some nonsense about fixed places in time in this scenario, but it also implies everyone has a unique position. It's a great example of incorporating storey logistics into an emotive topic.
Of course, no one is interested in the time travel aspect. Apart from a throwaway phrase about the Terminator, it's never explained convincingly why the future is so bad, making it difficult to care about racing about and rescuing the planet. Catherine Keener is captivating as a villain who acts as the devil on her own younger self's shoulder, even if her who-cares diabolical scheme is the storyline of Back to the Future 2.
The Adam Project is a must-see for everyone who grew up in the 1980s… or who wishes they had. A razor-sharp writing and some delightful interactions between Reynolds and his younger self, Scobell, keep its retro-futuristic stylings in check. The Adam Project delivers a sci-fi epic that will genuinely transport you with a few big action scenes and an almost-lightsaber.
While the action and whizbang visual effects are very light – and the narrative glides over its sci-fi notion with barely a sweep of a not-quite-lightsaber – The Adam Project is fizzy fun, with Reynolds, Ruffalo, and Saldana bickering genially. And the time-travelling family's struggle with love and sorrow is at the heart of this amusing family adventure. If your kids want some fast-paced sci-fi action and you need a break from superheroes, The Adam Project is a must-see.
The Adam Project is a clever, humorous mash-up of all of my childhood movies. It's Back to the Future meets The Last Starfighter, with a cast that enjoys the concept as much as I do. Ryan Reynolds is fantastic as Adam, and Walker Scobell matches him punch for punch in his first performance. The Adam Project is a love letter to 1970s and 1980s family sci-fi films, full of Amblin-like charm.

Gov. Newsom will end stay-at-home orders across California
Alexei Koseff, Michael Williams
Gov. Gavin Newsom is lifting California's stay-home order, a source says.
Irfan Khan / Los Angeles Times
UPDATE: Gov. Gavin Newsomlifted mandatory stay-home orders across California. Go here for the latest updates.
California will lift regional stay-at-home orders across the entire state on Monday, sources have told The Chronicle.
A source close to the governor's office confirmed that the state plans to end the stay-at-home order on Monday morning, moving counties back into the reopening framework based on colored tiers. It will no longer be tied strictly to the number of beds that are available in intensive care units.
Now, with the post-holidays surge lessening, ICU availability in the regions that remained under the stay-at-home order as of Sunday — including the Bay Area and Southern California — are projected to rise above the 15% threshold that triggered the lockdown measures. This is why the Newsom administration has decided to lift the restrictions, according to the source.
Counties will be moving back into the tiered system to determine how to re-open. Most regions across the state are expected to move into the purple tier, which means restaurants can open for outdoor service, and personal care services, like hair and nail salons can re-open with modifications.
News of the possible change began circulating Sunday evening after the California Restaurant Association sent a letter to members saying it had received word from Newsom's administration that the stay-at-home orders would be lifted. Several members passed the letter along to media outlets including The Chronicle.
The decision comes more than six weeks after the Bay Area and nearly all the rest of the state was placed under stringent stay-at-home orders due to the explosive spread of the virus in late November and early December.
Though the Dec. 3 order was statewide, it was not triggered unless ICU projections fell below 15%. Because of this, the state's northernmost counties were never affected. Most Bay Area counties voluntarily moved into the lockdown condition on Dec. 6. But as of Saturday's report from the state, based on Friday data, the Bay Area's ICU capacity was 23.4%.
More details about the decision are expected Monday morning.

Do doctors get enough training before performing robotic surgery?
Last month on our Chicago medical malpractice law blog, we had mentioned that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is asking doctors to take part in a survey regarding a newer medical device that is gaining popularity in hospitals in Illinois and throughout the country. The FDA wants to learn more about how surgeons are using robotic systems during operations on patients, and the FDA also wants to hear more about some of the challenges and complications surgeons may be coming across when using robots to perform surgeries.
The robots that are being used in more U.S. operating rooms are manufactured by Intuitive Surgical Inc., and the robotic system is named da Vinci. The medical device allows surgeons to control the robot while performing surgeries, which is less exhausting for surgeons during longer procedures. Surgical procedures performed by the da Vinci device may also help to reduce bleeding, and some operations may be performed by making fewer incisions.
Although the devices are being used more in the U.S., the FDA is concerned about the number of reports it has received within the past year regarding the robotic systems. The FDA reported that about 500 complaints were filed during 2012. Complaints include reports of at least five patients dying during robotic procedures. This may certainly cause some to question whether the device has been properly designed to perform surgeries, but others are questioning whether doctors are receiving enough training before using the devices.
Intuitive Surgical does train surgeons on how to operate the da Vinci system; however, it is up to surgeons and hospitals to make sure they know how to use the devices to perform the operations they are doing on patients. Currently, there do not appear to be any guidelines medical professionals can follow to determine whether they are experienced enough to safely perform surgeries using the robotic systems.
According to reports, the da Vinci system was used to perform only 114,000 surgeries in the U.S. in 2008. More than 365,000 surgeries were performed using the da Vinci system during 2012. With more surgeries being performed, hospitals and doctors need to make sure they receive adequate training to use the devices safely.
In 2007, a Chicago man died after a robotic procedure because the robot had punctured the man's intestines. His family won a wrongful death lawsuit last year after claiming the man's surgeon was not experienced enough at the time to perform a robotic surgical operation. The man's family received $7.5 million for the fatal surgical error.

Viome and other start-ups in its market don't characterize themselves as diet companies, but weight and other nutrition-adjacent health concerns are the chief things around which many of them are oriented. 23andMe wants to help you eat and exercise according to your genetics. Bulletproof wants you to change your morning coffee routine to increase your work performance and reduce hunger. Habit promises to study your personal biomarkers to tailor a nutrition plan just for you. Need a few hours of supposedly superhuman mental acuity and calorie burning? Pound a ketone cocktail and keep it moving. Can you control your body's need for fuel through "intermittent fasting"? There's an app for that.
Read: Can your DNA tell you the healthiest way to live your life?
Silicon Valley, not content with external devices, has pivoted to the self as its next great frontier. And in order for its vision of your body to take hold, it needs you to speak its language. Dieting is no longer a necessary problem of vanity, as it has been historically termed, but a problem of knowledge and efficiency—a rhetorical shift with broad implications for how people think of themselves. Where bodies might have previously been idealized as personal temples, they're now just another device to be managed, and one whose use people are expected to master. We're optimizing our performances instead of watching our figure, biohacking our personal ecosystem instead of eating salads.
In one way or another, all of these new services generally boil down to elaborate, expensive instructions to eat more of one thing and less of another, or to make a dietary addition or replacement that will unlock your body's true potential. Convincing consumers that this new wave of diets is somehow distinct from the diet industry's long, pseudoscientific history is a big task, but a potentially profitable one. According to the market-research firm Marketdata, the U.S. diet industry was worth an estimated $66 billion in 2017, but the number of active dieters in the country was down 10 percent. The firm found that that was due to two things: the growing popularity of the size-acceptance movement, and dieter fatigue. For new companies, laundering what are often fairly conventional diet practices through the language of technology provides the imprimatur of newness in the eyes of seasoned dieters, as well as a Trojan horse to reach consumers who, for whatever reason, were never interested in dieting qua dieting.
Many people who fall into the latter group are men. The diet industry's modern history in America is feminized, which until recently left men as a relatively untapped potential market. "Gender contamination," as the Harvard researcher Jill Avery coined it, is when a product or idea becomes so female-coded that men are no longer willing to engage with it. The classic example of this phenomenon is diet soda, and it's no coincidence that gender contamination shows up most recognizably in the things people eat: The diet industry has always found its easiest prey among women, who are culturally primed to hone their appearance toward impossible ideals to demonstrate their social worth.
In a 2015 study, the University of Manitoba researcher Luke Zhu found that gendered food stereotyping was so profound that in order to make healthy foods seem masculine, marketers had to go so far as to invoke hypermasculine ideas like performance enhancement, which is exactly what diet-tech companies do. And on top of that emphasis, tech itself is already culturally coded as a masculine arena. So if we're no longer dieting and instead biohacking in order to fine-tune our personal microbiome using state-of-the-art testing and results-based methodology, then the potential market broadens.
There's some temptation to see an odd sort of gender parity in tech's talk of the universalization of dieting norms: Maybe if we all feel the same pressures to pursue the same kind of perfection, then we've taken a step toward relieving those pressures uniquely harming women. But there may be something more harmful afoot, whether the people making these products realize it or not. Language creates a shared set of expectations and understandings. It's not just products that are bought and sold, but also the ideas that underpin them. If tech CEOs define what counts as an ideal body—if they get to decide what optimization looks like for a human, and then put their considerable resources behind normalizing that definition and selling products meant to help people achieve it—then the real-world consequences for actual humans could go far beyond a simple linguistic shift.
Read: Science compared every diet, and the winner is real food.
People who are fat, for example, already experience multiple types of social discrimination: A 2016 study found that they're less likely to be hired at a new job than similarly qualified thin people, and their weight means they're more likely to be turned away from seeking important medical care. Losing weight requires physical and emotional difficulty and self-denial, and there's mounting scientific evidence that losing a meaningful amount of weight and keeping it off is physically impossible for the vast majority of people considered medically overweight or obese. If people internalize the idea that changing your body should be as simple and necessary as cleaning up old files on your laptop, then the stakes for those who don't or can't do it could easily become even more severe.
There's also the problem of another phenomenon that's largely feminized in American culture, along with dieting: eating disorders. The deadliest one, anorexia, often involves fastidious attention to detail when it comes to calories and macronutrients, as well as massively restricted opportunities to eat. Intermittent fasting, meal replacements, and ultra-detailed diet plans might not always be symptoms of disordered eating unto themselves, but a veneer of safety from scientific language can obscure the tendency for those behaviors to become physically harmful, and it can make intervention more difficult for family and friends.
What's unclear is what would become of people who lack the desire to self-optimize according to Silicon Valley standards. In the tech vocabulary of dieting, there's little space for deviation based on pleasure or personal preference, let alone on differing ideas of what actually constitutes a flaw in need of fixing. Most people running these companies seem sincere in their desire to improve people's lives, and in the cases with real scientific advances at play, their methods may pan out in some ways. Viome's technology really does seem like an opportunity to identify sub-allergic food sensitivities in those with the means to try it, and the microbiome is a fascinating and fertile ground for further research. Across the past few years, we have seen several American tech companies fail to anticipate how their good intentions might go bad, and once a product is popular and profitable, there's not much incentive for executives to rein it in.
Science has already made relatively clear that healthy diets involve eating a diverse, primarily plant-based diet of fresh foods over the course of one's life. The straightforwardness of that advice doesn't make for great product marketability, but it does take into account something that the language of technology may obscure about nutrition: There are plenty of ways to be a person. Jain was careful to tell me that Viome doesn't want to conflate thinness with health, although it does list obesity and related conditions among the things its diets intend to treat. That line is something all of these start-ups seek to walk. But what people need most might not be more products to make them perfect, but a broader idea of what perfection means.

01-05-1869 N/A Date unknown. Unknown.
The word stalwart tends to be rather over-used on occasions, but certainly not in the case of Peter Dale. He was exactly that and, but for a tragic illness, could well have played over 200 matches for the Saints. Born in Sutton in 1869, Peter played in all the prominent matches for the club during the early days of the Northern Union rebellion. He was in the pack for the opening league game at Knowsley Road against Rochdale Hornets and played 37 matches during the campaign, scoring 7 tries. For a forward, that was quite good going in those days. Peter played in every round of the inaugural Challenge Cup campaign during the following season, as Saints reached the final, only to fall at the last hurdle to a powerful Batley team.
He also played in the South West Lancashire and Border Towns Cup final success against Runcorn in 1900. He regularly played over twenty matches a season and was, obviously, one of the first names on the team-sheet. He played his last match away at Morecambe on 23rd April 1902, when the Saints won by 10-9. Peter did not play again for the club. We have to look at the St. Helens Newspaper and advertiser, on Friday 10th July 1903 to possibly explain why.
Indeed, as Peter succumbed to his illness (more commonly known as tuberculosis today) the club was beginning somewhat of a yo-yo existence between the First and Second divisions. Yet he had certainly made a significant contribution to the club's early development, which must not be forgotten.


A survey by Creative Strategies last month revealed that the iPhone X has a customer satisfaction rate of 97 percent, especially among the so-called early adopters of the smartphone in the US Only with regard to the language assistant there are complaints.
85 percent of respondents are "very satisfied" with the iPhone X. Ben Bajarin of Creative Strategies said that this one was to de He has ever seen in customer satisfaction surveys for engineering products. 12 percent of respondents said they were satisfied with the iPhone X, three percent were dissatisfied to varying degrees.
Creative Strategies interviewed 1,746 owners of the iPhone X. Market researchers told Macrumors that respondents had been told by previous users Questions were identified as early adopters. The term refers to people who use the latest technological advances or the latest variants of products or fashion accessories.
Also in the feature comparison, the iPhone X recorded very high satisfaction rates in all areas, including the features Face ID and also the battery life was rated 90 percent as good. The only exception was Siri, who only reached a 20 percent satisfaction rate and left four out of five respondents unimpressed.
Early adopters tend to be more critical than regular consumers. However, the industry now believes Apple has lost the edge it once had with Siri in the artificial intelligence field.
Siri seems to have become a big problem within Apple. The HomePod suffers from a rather mixed performance compared to Amazon Alexa. Apple told Macrumors that Siri was "the most popular voice assistant in the world" and spoke of "significant advances" in the assistant's performance, scalability and reliability.
"We have made significant progress in performance "Scalability and reliability made by Siri and the latest machine learning techniques used to create a more natural voice and more proactive features" Apple wrote, according to Macrumors in his statement. "We continue to invest heavily in machine learning and artificial intelligence to continually improve the quality of the answers Siri provides and the breadth of questions that Siri can answer" .

Atolls
Atolls are circular, oval, or horseshoe-shaped arrays of coral reef islands that are perched around an oceanic volcanic seamount and encircle a shallow central lagoon. The small islands are separated from each other by channels that lead from the sea into the central lagoon.
Distribution of Atolls
Because atoll formation requires coral reef building, atolls are limited to tropical waters. Atolls are most commonly found in the Pacific and Indian Oceans.
Size of Atolls
Atolls can vary greatly in size, ranging from quite small to over 130 kilometers (km) long and 32 km wide (Kwajalein in the Marshal Islands). The reef and lagoon area in some of the atolls of the Maldives are larger than 3000 km sq. Kiribati has a land area of about 390 km sq. Atoll islands are typically low lying, with elevations of less than 5 meters (m).
Formation of Atolls
Charles Darwin was one of the first people to think about the origins of coral atolls and his "subsidence theory of coral reef formation" has received empirical support. An atoll is thought to begin as living corals colonize and build a fringing reef on the flanks of a seamount or volcano. Over time, as the volcano cools and becomes denser, its gradually sinks below the sea surface. The corals, whose symbiotic algae require light to grow, continue to build the reef upward towards the sea surface, maintaining the top of the reef in the photic zone. The reef gradually becomes separated from the subsiding island by a lagoon, thus forming a barrier reef. Eventually the cold volcano sinks so far that it disappears beneath the surface, leaving behind the characteristic ring-shaped reef surrounding a central lagoon. Thus, atolls are built on thick layers of dead coral reefs. Scientists have drilled over 1400 m through coral limestone before striking volcanic rock on Pacific atolls, supporting Darwin's hypothesis that atolls develop as fringing reefs subside. Raised atolls, such as Nauru and Niue, were produced when geologic action elevated the coral limestone above the surrounding sea.

Hostages Released From Texas Synagogue Stand-Off
New York (Knewz) — All hostages have been released by a suspect holding people in a Texas synagogue, according to officials.
Gov. Gregg Abbott stated that the hostages were all released around 9:30 central time. The first hostage was released around 5 p.m. central time, according to Colleyville police.
According to media reports, the suspect in the incident is dead.
Officials say the stand-off started around 10:40 a.m. on Jan. 15 when police in Colleyville, Texas, got a call for service. They arrived and saw an "emergency situation" at Congregation Beth Israel.
The service was being streamed online when the suspect took hostages. He could be heard talking to police and others before the stream was removed. The suspect claims to be a relative of Aafia Siddiqui who is known as "Lady Al-Qaeda." It's not clear if his claims are true. She is being held in a federal prison near the Colleyville religious center.
Four people, including the rabbi were taken hostage, according to ABC news. Police have asked people to avoid the area.
Police and SWAT are on scene trying to resolve the situation.
"We ask that you continue to avoid the area. We will continue to provide updates via social media," Colleyville police posted on social media.
Siddiqui is serving an 80-year federal sentence for various crimes. She is a U.S.-Pakistani national who was accused of trying to kill soldiers and others while she was being questioned in Afghanistan, according to Al Jazeera. But, others have criticized her arrest and said she was a victim. Siddiqui has long spoken against the Jewish people and Israel, according to media reports.
Terrorist groups have often asked for her in return for American hostages, according to reports.
Three-Quarters Of Small And Mid-Size Businesses Plan To Expand Workforce In 2022: Survey


If you live near the United States' Canadian border, you've probably been tempted to purchase a used car or truck and bring it over here. Maybe you're a snowbird that has a winter home and you want to keep your car in the States full-time, or perhaps you're eyeing those Nissan Skylines and Acura-badged Civics that are unheard of in the U.S. Either way, legally importing a vehicle from Canada can be a rewarding or frustrating experience, depending on how prepared you are.
Except the R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R, of course. That's it's own story.
I am not going to lie to you – there are a lot of steps to take when importing a vehicle from any country. You will need to be organized and prepared to jump through some hoops. However, if you find the car you want at an affordable price, it might be worth the time to make it happen.
In this guide you'll learn all about importing a vehicle from Canada: what cars are eligible, the paperwork involved, and most importantly, how much it costs.
Why Not Just Bring One Over?
Why go through all this nonsense instead of just bringing the car over and crossing your fingers? If you drive back and forth across the Canadian border on a regular basis, it's important to note that your Canadian-registered vehicle is only legal in the United States for one year. After that, authorities can seize it (for non-payment of duties, among other reasons) and they'll either deport or crush your beloved car without a second thought.
You could also import a vehicle from Mexico, but the same rules apply to that as well.
To avoid that fate, finalize the import process within 365 days after the car's arrival in the U.S.
Take a moment to look at the car's manufacturer label. GM, Chrysler and Ford all have plants in Canada that produce vehicles which are later sold in the United States. For example, Ford produces the Flex and Edge vehicles in Ontario. In addition, GM produces their Camaro and Impala also in Ontario as well.
Even though American automakers have Canadian facilities building cars for the U.S. market, that doesn't mean all these cars are conformed to America's market. The manufacturer's label needs to be inspected if you want to determine whether the vehicle is valid for U.S. distribution.
You'll find this label in one of a few spots. Look in the door latch post, near the door's edge, or at the hinge pillar. If the label says it's made for United States sale, you're going to have a slightly easier go of things. Slightly.
Not all Canadian vehicles meet the standard of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act or the Environmental Protection Agency's emission standards. Thankfully, the rules aren't overly strict.
Canada's motor vehicle safety standards closely resemble our Federal requirements. That's why the NHTSA issues blanket eligibility covering many Canadian-certified vehicles bound for the U.S. market.
Before you get your hopes up, there are some discrepancies between the two. If the Canadian-certified car or truck was manufactured before the FMVSS requirements changed, for example, then the vehicle must be updated to meet U.S. standards.
As a little extra peace of mind, you might be happy to know that many of the vehicles north of the border are going to meet our government's standards, but you should still research the specific vehicle at the beginning of the importation process to save yourself time and headaches.
Can I Legally Import a Vehicle from Canada?
Absolutely! Importing vehicles from Canada is permitted by any person looking to use the car or truck for personal use. It must comply with the Federal Department of Transportation safety standards and U.S. Environmental Protection Agency emissions standards. If it doesn't meet those already, then a DOT Registered Importer needs to import the vehicle instead. You can find these in many major cities.
Another thing you'll want to do in the beginning is check to make sure the car has no liens, no title problems, and isn't stolen. Just imagine the headache of paying for a used car and then not being able to get it across the border!
Thankfully, we can help with this process. Just contact us and we'll run the VIN for you.
What's the Total Cost to Import a Vehicle from Canada?
With all this talk of taxes, fees, and duties, it's clear that this isn't a cheap process. Thankfully, importing a vehicle from Canada is similar cost-wise to buying one in the States.
We can't give you an exact number here because it's different for every car. There are numerous vehicle-specific payments that constitute a majority of the expenses, with paperwork and the actual importation of the car being comparatively minor expenses.
With that said, let's take a top-down look at the importation process.
1. After conducting the research we discussed and verifying your vehicle is eligible for importation, go ahead and pay for the vehicle. Make sure you get a Bill of Sale showing the VIN with your name as the purchaser.
2. You will also need the Manufacturer's Statement/Certificate of Origin or the car title.
3. Go ahead and obtain a temporary license plate and an insurance card from the Province in which you make the purchase. You can often extend your U.S. insurance coverage to cover you in Canada as well.
4. You will have to pay a Goods and Services Tax (GST) on the car, but you should be exempt from Provincial Sales Tax (PST) if you aren't a Canadian resident.
5. Have the car thoroughly cleaned and steam-sprayed prior to heading to the border. The U.S. Department of Agriculture wants the undercarriage completely free of any foreign soil, and you never know what the previous owner did inside.
5. Make sure you have all your documents in order before attempting to cross the border. You'll have to go inside the Customs building and fill out form CBP 7501 and some others declaring your possessions, including the car. During that time, the customs officials will take time to inspect your car and match it up with your paperwork. Expect to be here for at least thirty minutes.
Exemptions: There are two main sources of financial relief that come into play.
As a U.S. citizen, you can apply a $400 Customs Exemption fee at the time of border crossing, so long as you're driving a car across that you bought on that specific trip. Each family member riding in your car can, too, providing they are also U.S. citizens.
As a U.S. resident, you will receive a $10,000 Value Exemption on the vehicle. That means if the car is worth $15,000, you'll only pay Canadian taxes on $5,000.
Gas Guzzler Tax: Some imports will be hit with the infamous "gas-guzzler" tax. If the car has a combined EPA fuel-economy rating of less than 22.5 mpg, expect to pay extra.
Other Fees and Taxes: There will be other vehicle-specific fees, such as the Air Conditioning Tax for cars with A/C (yes, it's a real thing) that can add substantial cost to importing a car from Canada.
If you import from Nova Scotia, Newfoundland, New Brunswick, British Columbia, Labrador or Ontario, you'll also have to pay the provincial sales tax when you cross the border.
You have some further steps to take once you get back to the United States.
1. Insure the vehicle in the U.S.
2. Take your paperwork to the State DOT to register your vehicle. Prepare to pay the state taxes and applicable fees. You may also need to get an emissions test before registration.
3. In just a few weeks, the tags and plates for the vehicle should arrive.
If all of this sounds like too much to deal with, you have two other options. The first is to simply purchase a car that's already been imported into the United States. You know that these cars meet our country's legal standards and you won't have to travel over the Canadian border or deal with customs, duties, and fees.
The other option is to use an importing specialist to walk you through step by step. These businesses understand how to import a vehicle from Canada, and they can help you research the safety standards needed for a motor vehicle and enable you to work with the National Highway Safety Administration to smoothly import a vehicle from Canada or anywhere else.
Importing a car from Canada is something you can absolutely do yourself without professional help, but it never hurts to have a friend on your side.

Tattoos have become a rage among the people especially youngsters. People, who get a tattoo done, consider it as a medium of expressing themselves. You might take special time to select a perfect design for the tattoo and also use the services a professional tattoo artist. But is that enough to get a vibrant tattoo? No it is not. After you get your tattoo done, it is very essential that you take proper care of it. This article will guide you on how to take care of your tattoo so that it can look original and vibrant always.
First rule would be to leave the bandage over the tattoo. The artist will cover up the tattoo with a protective bandage so that the bacteria do not invade it because a tattoo is actually a wound. After may be two hours you can remove the bandage. Clean the tattoo and the area around it with lukewarm water and some liquid antibacterial mild soap. Then gently pat that area dry using a soft towel. Then apply an antimicrobial ointment on the tattoo.
Do not forget to apply the antibacterial ointment on the tattoo at least two times a day for a few weeks. You can take a shower with the new tattoo but do not allow it to saturate. Do not soak the tattoo in a hot tub or a bathtub. Avoid swimming for about 2 to 3 weeks. When the tattoo itches do not scratch or pick at it. Protect your tattoo from the harsh sun rays even after it is healed completely.
When you leave the studio after doing the tattoo put a bandage around it so that there is no outside contact with the tattoo. After 2-3 hours remove the bandage which you had put. As the tattoo is like an open wound it may bleed for the first 24 hours.
When handling the tattoo like removing the tattoo clean your hand thoroughly with warm water and antiseptic soaps. Use clean towel to dry. When you remove the bandage do it slowly and be gentle. Clean the tattoo with antiseptic lotions. Do not scrub it or rub it. Allow the tattoo to dry. It helps in faster and better healing.
Follow it by applying emu oil. The oil has fatty acids and which increases the circulation in the affected area. It also does not block the pores as the other oils do. It also helps in keeping the tattoo moisturized. The oil helps getting rid of the discomfort and the redness. Use the oil twice or thrice a day.
With proper care from the beginning you will be able to enjoy the tattoo lifetime.

Q: Rails logger rotation => Can other processes write to the same log file? In my config/environments/production.rb, I have the following:
config.logger = Logger.new("log/production.log", 10, 1000.megabytes)
config.log_formatter = ::Logger::Formatter.new

Let's suppose I never ever write to this log/production.log anywhere in my code. However, I have another process (say a Java process) that writes to this same log file. Assuming Rails is up and running, will Rails automatically do the autorotation, even if Rails never writes to this log file?

A: No, Ruby does rotation only on own write:
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/ruby_2_3/lib/logger.rb#L648
Also, it's probably not a good idea to write to the same file from different processes.

This is going to be another post regarding Torino Time and my 1971 Ford Torino 500, but this will be a little different. Most of the time, I just tell you what I'm doing. Well, here is a how to! The leak on my transmission pan was getting pretty bad, so I decided that it was time to replace it.
This car has a standard Ford C4 transmission, but the basic principles of this apply to most transmissions. It's pretty straight forward, and you don't need much experience to do it. However, I would always recommend taking your car to a mechanic if you feel uncomfortable. There is a video at the end of this article, in the event you would like a more comedic version of this.
I would always suggest a lift if you have access to one. If you don't, use jack stands. You shouldn't work under a car that is supported by just jack stands, but if it's your only option, make sure they are on level and solid ground.
The C4 does not have a drain plug, so the fluid will start to leak once you loosen the bolts. Use your 1/2" socket to remove the side, front, and back bolts. Leave the corner ones for last. Remove your rear corner bolts, and loosen the front ones. Your pan will begin to hang, and fluid will start dripping out, so have your drip pan ready! If you use a screwdriver to assist in the tilting of the pan, be very careful! You don't want to bend the edges of the pan. After the fluid stops pouring out, remove the front two bolts. Hold the bottom of the pan so it doesn't fall.
While the rest of the fluid drips out, take this time to clean the pan. Peel or scrape off the old gasket. Spray and wipe the pan down with Brakleen, or a cleaner of your choice. Make sure none of the old gasket is left behind on the pan. You may need to scrape some off with a razor blade. You need a clean surface with none of the old gasket left to assure a good seal.
Get back under the car! Take your 5/16" socket and remove the bolts for the filter. The last one is toward the front, and that is 7/16". There is a spring with a guide rod on the driver side of the filter. It will want to pop out. Be careful not to lose it. Inspect the filter for any metal fragments or anything out the ordinary.
Now it's time to put everything back. First, inspect the seal areas one last time to make sure they are clean. Next, install your new filter. Finger tighten the bolts. Use your ratchet to finish the job. Tighten them down in a star pattern: left side, then right, then front, then back, and repeat. Don't over tighten the bolts! Just get them tight enough. After that, do the same thing with you pan and new gasket.
After you are done, top off your transmission with fresh fluid. Make sure it is the right fluid for your car. For a 1971 Ford C4, I used type F fluid. You may need to let your vehicle get up to operating temperature and recheck your levels to make sure they are still good.
It's actually a pretty easy thing to do. Just have the right tools, a little bit of confidence, and you can get it done! There is so much more that I have to do to my 1971 Ford Torino 500, so if you want to follow the journey, check out the series on this blog, or check out our YouTube channel. Don't forget to like us on Facebook, and be sure to follow us on Twitter for some exclusive content and updates about what will be happening to this car next! Thanks for stopping by.
