Inventory: 8 Songs About Sexual Mishaps
1. Ike Turner, "She Made My Blood Run Cold"
These days, Ike Turner is mainly remembered as the violent, abusive ex-husband of Tina Turner, but in the 1950s, he was on top of the R&B world with tracks like "Rocket 88," often cited as the first true rock 'n' roll song. He recorded the chilly classic "She Made My Blood Run Cold" in 1957, lyrically riffing on Little Willie John's earlier sexiness-as-sickness R&B hit "Fever." Turner's tune turns down the temperature with the tale of a woman whose kisses literally cause a drop in his body heat. Turner complains to his doctor of symptoms including a frozen heart and "icicles hanging from my eyes"—especially unusual since STDs typically cause a burning sensation instead. Perhaps reflective of Turner's view of women, the frosty femme fatale doesn't appear to have any remorse for her icy touch, even after she kills Ike's doctor merely by flirting with him. Now that's cold.
5. Bob Dylan, "Ballad Of A Thin Man"
In the '60s, "Thin Man"'s stinging refrain—"you know something is happening, but you don't know what it is, do you, Mr. Jones?"—became a widely embraced reference for a square who couldn't see the revolution right in front of his eyes. But there's another meaning hidden not-so-deeply in the song's hazy identity issues, suggesting a far more personal confusion: Mr. Jones is a deeply closeted, self-loathing gay man slowly forced to confront his true sexual identity. Dylan fills the song with blatant phallic imagery and metaphors for male-on-male oral sex wrapped in the description of a hopelessly bewildered man lost in a circus sideshow, strangely compelled by visions of naked men and sword-swallowers in high heels. And then there's the "one-eyed midget" who demands that Jones give him "milk." Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, but not here.

In "nothing burger" news, Amex launched a new card product called the Cash Magnet. Thoughts on the name aside, there's no reason at all to get this card. The entire card is a simple 1.5% cash back card. You earn Amex "Reward Dollars" which means these are not transferable Membership Rewards points. Your 1.5% really means 1.5% back in cash.
So why am I so "meh" on this card? Because if you really want cash instead of miles or points, you should *never* accept less than 2%. That's because there are a variety of cards that earn 2% back – or better.
I've previously written about that in this article: Should you even use a miles earning credit card?
There is a bonus on the Cash Magnet card of $150 when you spend $1,000 and an additional $150 if you spend an additional $6,500, but why bother? Your overall yield won't beat a 2% card anyway.
And adding insult to injury, you'd be taking one of the 5 slots Amex allows you (you can only have 5 Amex credit cards, excluding charge cards, including both personal and small business). And they have recently started to deny people new cards based on how many past cards they have opened/closed.
Which brings me to my second bit of news: Amex is now telling you, before you apply for a card and do a hard credit pull, if you will be auto-declined for a new "welcome bonus" based on either 1) already having had that welcome bonus in your lifetime (this is great, because someone could genuinely forget they held a card briefly 6 years ago) or 2) because Amex is labeling you a churner and you have, in their opinion, opened or closed too many Amex cards recently. Unlike Chase's 5/24 rule, this appears to be a rule solely based on your Amex dealings and not overall in the marketplace, but who knows how it will evolve. You'll see this in action the next time you apply for an Amex card but only if you are going to be "bonus ineligible." At this time, this is probably MOST useful for someone that is interested in the Hilton Ascend card and associated 100,000 point welcome bonus yet has previously held the Hilton Surpass card. Hilton has told us that one is not eligible in such cases yet many have reported receiving both bonuses. With this new tool, you won't waste a hard pull and application if you aren't going to get the bonus. (Also see: Hotel Rewards Credit Cards).

Citation: Ledbetter, C.A. 2010. Almond breeding and evaluation activities in central California: past and future. Options Mediterraneennes. 94:255-260.
Interpretive Summary: An increasing worldwide demand for almonds has directed California growers to new plantings of almond orchards at an unprecedented rate. It is estimated that 75% of the US bee supply is currently needed to meet pollination requirements for the California almond crop. The new orchards add to future pollination requirements, and beekeepers now question the adequacy of future bee supplies to meet the needs of almond growers. In 1993, we began developing almond trees that do not require bees to ensure pollination and nut set by breeding our California almonds with a Spanish almond named Tuono. The 'self-fertility' of the Spanish Tuono was well known, but Tuono's almonds do not have the nut qualities present in California varieties. By breeding the California almonds with Tuono and selecting those nut types preferred by processors and consumers, new almond varieties can be created that can set a crop of nuts without the beekeeper's help. We are beginning to test the yield potential of some of these new self-fertile almonds. Given that their potential yields are adequate to meet grower needs, almond producers will be the predominant beneficiaries of this research. Utilization of self-fertile almond varieties will reduce the cost of producing almonds by eliminating the ever-increasing costs associated with bee rental during the busy pollination season.
Technical Abstract: Almond breeding and evaluation efforts at the Agricultural Research Service resumed during the late 1980s after a lapse of nearly 20 years. Breeding efforts from the 1950s through the early 1970s led to a diverse collection of advanced selections, some being suitable as pollenizers for the important Nonpareil cultivar. Current evaluation efforts are now further characterizing the collection, and some selections are being used in a new breeding effort to develop self-compatible almonds. Through K-means analyses, we have identified those advanced selections from the former breeding effort that were most similar to Nonpareil in bloom phenology and nut/kernel characteristics. In long term storage trials, we have identified several advanced selections with reduced pellicle luminosity degradation rates as compared with Nonpareil. The Tuono cultivar has been our exclusive source of self-compatibility in the new breeding effort, with planned hybridizations emphasizing those advanced selections that are homozygous for sweet kernel. New self-compatible accessions are being identified in segregating seedling populations, and we currently evaluate 50 – 70 self-compatible accessions annually for nut/kernel quality. Recent evaluation efforts have demonstrated significant differences in shell cracking strength among almond varieties that are independent of an accession's kernel percentage, suggesting shell compositional or morphological differences. These differences may have implications in the use of specific shell types for granular activated carbons, or other value-added product applications.


Im a fuel hauler and these are absolutely perfect for my application. Price was amazing too. No compliants at all and several peers have asked about them!
Was everything it was said to be.
Fit well and is a high quality product. Received product 3 days ahead of scheduled delivery.
These are not as well made as the Key Fr Bibs. The back pockets are too shallow. The zipper is very poor quality and it doesn't pull down far enough. The stretch portion of the straps are of a poor quality material. And the lose end just flops around instead of being tied back to the strap. The way the straps fasten to the bibs is all wrong. They should be sown to the top edge. And the way they have the strap woven into the clip causes the fastener to dig into your chest. I think it will be durable, but I'm not sure about the stretch material on the strap. Carhartt, you are the most expensive work closes. Therefore, you should be the best. I give you a D- - - on these bibs. Shame on you Carhartt for making such an expensive yet poor quality product !!!
I bought three sets of these hoping that they would last a few months. I purchased the factory seconds because the lapco jeans work complete crap and I knew Carhartt was a good brand that I had obviously used before. I wanted bibs so that my work shirt would not keep coming untucked. I work electrical Construction in substations and these bibs are amazing. The thighs and knees are super thick and do not wear out after taking a knee on concrete or Steel and give you more durability when using your thigh to clean off tools or parts. The plethora of pockets are awesome there is one wide pocket on the chest that has Velcro, a pen pocket on the chest and two smaller pockets about 4 in wide all on the chest. It has two back pockets as normal pants do, and two front pockets that are very deep. The zipper for the crotch is great as well it is a very large long zipper so if you are wearing jeans or shorts underneath it it allows plenty of space for maneuverability. The bibs are completely flexible and all zippers work great especially the ones on the sides of the legs allowing you to get your work boots in and out easily. The only thing that I would say is a slight drawback would be that the waist size runs a little snug. And I worried that the velcro and plastic clips will wear out and or break over time. But if the bibs hold up I would just bring it into a seamstress to replace the straps with fabric and add new clips. Great product will be buying more.
I work in the Oil and Gas Industry as well as volunteer as a first responder. These BIBs are made Tuff and last BUT the straps are WAY to short and do NOT give you enough room to snap them properly and still be comfortable IN THE CROTCH! As well as the hem coming loose after awhile. I am a huge carhartt fan and have been using there products since the 90's. I hope they correct the strap length which will alleviate the tight/High CROTCH. I can deal with the hem coming loose but bibs that make it tight in the CROTCH area is NOT pleasant. They need to offer embroidery! Come on carhartt!
Fits true to size. I ordered the size I wear in jeans and they fit me comfortably without being to small. I couldn't find a flaw anywhere(for being factory seconds).
Great quality and service ,fast shipping.
I plan on returning them for another size but overall they are what I need.
Got them for my son for Christmas!! He loved them. True to size.
Thick, I thought they were insulated but they are not. They still keep me warm.

You can react to the feedback by taking it as an attack, deflecting blame, pointing fingers to policy or the CEO. Then you've just told me that you don't care enough to receive the feedback in a useful way.
Or you can pass me off to a powerless middleman, a frustrated person who mouths the words but makes it clear that the feedback will never get used. Another way to show that you don't care as much as I do. And if you don't care, why should I?
Because then, if you're lucky, it might happen again.


Traditional television viewing is falling, and the rapid rise of online video viewing continues. If television news providers fail to respond to these profound shifts in how people use media, they risk eventually becoming irrelevant, a new report from the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, University of Oxford warns.
While television remains an important medium for news – and will remain so in years to come, according to authors Rasmus Kleis Nielsen and Richard Sambrook – failure to recognise and engage with the steep changes in the industry now could lead to losing touch with audiences as people, especially younger people, spend less and less time with traditional television.
Television viewing figures in the UK and the US have declined by 3 to 4% a year on average since 2012 – directly comparable to the decline in print readership seen by newspapers during the 2000s. The decline is particularly pronounced amongst younger people. Meanwhile, the rise of video-sharing sites, video-on-demand services and social media-integrated video means that younger audiences watch more and more online video.
What's the solution? At the moment, says the report, there is no one clear way forward, but the key is to recognise the challenge now, rather than maintaining a defensive, pragmatic approach. Incremental adaptation will not be enough to adapt to a rapidly changing environment. Broadcasters must harness their creative talent, strong brands and quality content to experiment, innovate, push boundaries, risk failure, and begin to reinvent themselves for an audience which increasingly prefers digital. This requires looking beyond the formats and organisational forms developed for a twentieth-century media environment.


Most cyclists have gone through the experience of having non-cycling family and friends give them something for Christmas that the non-cyclist thinks is 'perfect' ... but it gets a little tedious after you have received your third introduction to cycling book. So, we here at Canadian Cyclist are putting together this week a list of cyclist-appropriate Christmas gifts to suit any rider.
Today, we start with books. A cycling book is one of the best gifts you can give to an enthusiast. The photos allow you to capture a moment in an event and, with the best ones, a moment that tells the story. The words provide the background and the context, and often the feelings of the subject themself.
Most of these books are by photographers or writers who are friends of ours (or have contributed to Canadian Cyclist over the years) and, in a few cases, our editor is a contributor to the book. But that doesn't negate the fact that these books are by some of the best in the business.
It was an incredibly special moment with Steve Peat won the Downhill world title in Canberra (Australia) in 2009. Peaty is a legend in the sport, and a super nice guy, and everyone was happy or him when he finally won the one award missing from his trophy case.
Steve and Irish photographer Victor Lucas teamed up after that special season to produce Steve Peat World Champion - Seventeen Years in the Making. Ostensibly, it is chronological account of Peat's 2009 season, a season in which he set records for the most World Cup wins, most World Cup podiums and won the world title. However, it is more than that. Steve talks frankly about training, travel, his team and his life, providing a intimate look at one of the most respected riders in the sport.
Available through the Chain Reaction Cycles website at www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=58838.
Chronology covers the entire 2009 UCI Mountain Bike World Cup season through the lenses of South African photographers Gary Perkin (aka Flipper) and Sven Martin. While both are more associated with the gravity side of the sport, they are mountain bikers themselves, and superb photographers.
While many of the images are of race action, Gary and Sven also provide a window into the parts of the sport not often seen by spectators: with the riders as they prepare for their rides, post-competition (win and lose) and the family that develops among those who follow the circuit.
The only text in Chronology is by riders. Julien Absalon, Steve Peat, Sam Hill, Anneke Beerten, Jared Graves, Elisabeth Osl and Sabrina Jonnier all contribute essays.
mtb is different than the previous two volumes, in that it doesn't attempt to chronicle a particular rider or a specific season of racing. Instead, German photographer Frank Bodenmüller and his partner Tanja Borgschulte have selected a compendium of images from their years of covering the sport.
Divided into separate sections on cross-country and downhill/4-cross, Frank and Tanja's images provide a record of some of the most classic venues in the sport, as well as the biggest names in racing. Each double page spread has a theme, with captions explaining the significance of the images. Dutch cycling journalist Marcel Slagman and Olympic champion Bart Brentjens offer introductions.
There are classics of road racing and then there is THE Classic: Paris-Roubaix. It is considered the hardest and most storied one day race in cycling, notorious for the sections of pavé - rough-hewn cobblestones that eat wheels. Run on the third Sunday in April since 1896 through the roads of northern France, it is known simply as The Hell of the North.
Published by VeloPress, this 224 page book has been translated into English, and offers the words and photographs from France's authoritative L'Equipe newspaper. This book is a magnificent addition to any cycling fan's library.
Major Taylor "The Fastest Bicycle Rider in the World"
Over one hundred years ago, in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, cycling was the most popular spectator sport in North America. One of the biggest stars of the day was an African-American rider named Major Taylor. In addition to winning many of the gruelling Six-Day races that were so popular with spectators, Taylor became the world champion in 1899, and set multiple world records at various distances on the track. Sadly, he went from the height of fame and money to dying penniless in 1932.
In this updated edition to his original 1988 book on Major Taylor, British author Andrew Ritchie has put together a fascinating account of both Taylor and what may well be the 'Golden Age' of bike racing in North America. Ritchie has pulled together personal reports (including from Taylor's daughter), newspaper articles, archives and Taylor's own autobiography, together with 100 photographs and illustrations from that time.
Until the late 1980's, for any true cycling aficionado there was only one brand on cycling components that mattered: Campagnolo. Campy (or Campag) was what we all lusted for. It was not only the stuff that the pros used, but cycling jewelry in its own right.
There is a legendary (and true) story about Tullio Campagnolo, the founder of the company that bears his name. He was a bike racer in the 1920's, who lost a race when his hands were too frozen to loosen the rear wheels nuts that would allow him to flip the wheel around for a lower gear on the climbs. Out of this was born the quick release mechanism and the derailleur as we know it, and the beginning of Campagnolo, the most storied name in bike parts.
This book is more than a recitation of dry facts, it includes a history of the development of the bicycle, racing photos, interviews and a fascinating looking into the genius of a man who held 185 patents in his own name.

Главная ⇒ 💡Articles ⇒ Humans
In addition to the great apes, the family Hominidae includes our species, Homo sapiens. In the past, there also were other species of humans as well as hominids more similar to us than the chimpanzees and bonobos. They will be described in the last three tutorials of this series.
It has been historically difficult for people to accept that we are in fact just another primate species with African origins and that we differ physically only in degree from some of the others. The similarities can be seen throughout our bodies. For instance, humans and the African apes all lack external tails and have hands with a thumb that is sufficiently separate from the other fingers to allow them to be opposable for precision grips. Humans are also sexually dimorphic – males are 5-10% larger on average and have greater upper body muscular development. Like chimpanzees and bonobos, we are omnivorous. We kill other animals for food in addition to eating a wide variety of plants. Internally, our bodies are even more similar to the great apes. We have essentially the same arrangement of internal organs and bones. We share several important blood types. We also get many of the same diseases.
The comparatively minor anatomical differences between humans and apes are largely a result of our habitual bipedalism. A number of changes in our bodies were related to the evolution of this form of locomotion. Unlike apes, our arms are relatively short and weak compared to our legs. Our feet no longer have the ability to effectively grasp and manipulate objects because the toes became shorter and the big toe moved up into line with the others. Human feet also have lengthened and acquired an arch, making them better body supports. The human pelvis and spinal column also have been modified for an erect posture and efficient bipedal locomotion. The pelvis became shorter, broader, and more bowl shaped. This provided greater stability for walking and running. We are now
essentially fully terrestrial animals. Nature very likely selected for longer legs with powerful muscles and spring-like tendons in humans because it is more efficient for walking and especially running bipedally. Research done by Herman Pontzer of Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri indicates that longer legs require less up-and-down movement while running and, therefore, reduce the amount of energy needed to move rapidly. This relatively lower rate of energy consumption would also allow humans to travel farther with the same calorie expenditure. In addition, the largely hairless human body with its abundance of sweat glands allows us to remain cooler while running than if we only relied on panting like most other mammals. This no doubt was a major advantage for our early human ancestors in the competition with other hunters and scavengers for meat in warm climates. Humans can easily be outrun by many other animals over short distances. However, we are endurance runners and can ultimately run down virtually all other land animals.
With the exception of these few outward differences, we are quite similar to the African apes anatomically and genetically, especially to the chimpanzees and bonobos. Humans have 46 chromosomes in their cells while all of the great apes have 48. In reality, this difference is not as great as it would initially seem because the human chromosome 2 is a fusion of ape chromosomes 12 and 13 with most of the same genes.

An audio-visual outdoor installation using 2 channel moving images / 4 channel audio.
Premiere @ THE PASEO, Taos, NM, USA

[pl_video type="vimeo" id="202941226″]
Moving from the surface, layer by layer, to the depth of the inherent world. Encounter. Every encounter implies a process of becoming and each becoming can not come about without meeting.
On two opposite positioned translucent surfaces on each circular, constantly changing structures are projected. The images are based on physical simulation of lacerating surfaces. If the tension gets too high, the surface is torn and new layers are revealed. The 4 channel sound installation literally give each screen its own voice. The light of the projection travels thru the translucent screens to merge on the floor. Here the encounter and the becoming is continuously happening.
Basic Concept
After the decision to participate in the PASEO Festival and even finding some suitable locations for the installation during my visit early March I went back to work to further elaborate the idea. During the following tests and experiments with image and sound the fact of performing the new work within a public space had a very strong effect. My contemplation that was previously very much focused on the tearing of surfaces, a kind of continuous molting or expose of layers aligned, became slowly more and more addressed to the condition of "encounter and becoming". While testing versions and different settings of animations and soundscapes in the studio an earlier established idea returned to my mind and became the new center of the work.
"Moving from the surface, layer by layer, to the depth of the inherent world. Encounter. Every encounter implies a process of becoming and each becoming can not come about without meeting. As long as we reduce the other to an experienced past and only recognize it as such; as long as our relationship is governed by a habitual and regulated coexistence; and as long as we attach ourselves to our identity, without allowing changes, as long neither becoming, nor marriage, nor encounter is possible."
Suddenly the essence of the words merged with the existing samples of sounds and images.
On the two opposite positioned translucent surfaces on each circular, constantly changing structures are projected. The images are based on physical simulation of tearing surfaces. If the tension gets too high, the surface is torn. With the help of Stefan Wimmer I was able to use different kind of algorithms, like particle systems to achieve the moving images I find suitable to use in the composition. Working with the basic setup of the installation I identified the two screens as own characters facing each other. More sequences of images were created. And I followed the idea of using a very common lullaby and recorded it with the singer Petra Richter and the sound of a children toy with music box. I started to deconstruct the song in tiny samples and reconstruct it to create new sounds to express certain emotions or states. Using the sounds of the song and sound elements from the German composer Helga Pogatschar to form new sequences of images based on existing and new animations to get closer to something like a composition. The 4 channel sound installation makes it possible to address a stereo pair to each screen and synchronize specific sounds to the images appearing. That literally gives each screen its own voice.
The light travels thru the translucent screens to merge on the floor. Here the encounter and the becoming is constantly happening. I find it fascinating how the two images add to a complete new one. The "becoming" will get it´s "own sound" by using the 4 channels together and mixing it to the center. This fact has a huge impact on the content of sound and vision and will create an idea of interaction between the two screens.

Reggie Spooner
Reginald Herbert Spooner (21 October 1880, Billinge , St Helens, Lancashire – 2 October 1961, Lincoln, Lincolnshire) was a cricketer who played for Lancashire and England. He also played Rugby Union for England.
The son of the Rev. G. H. Spooner, of Woolton, Spooner was educated at Marlborough College, where he played Rugby for the school as well as captaining the cricket and field hockey First Elevens. He became one of the leading amateur batsmen of the so-called "Golden Age" of English cricket before the First World War. Coming to prominence as a schoolboy cricketer at Marlborough, Spooner played first class cricket for Lancashire in 1899, then disappeared on three years' military service with the Manchester Regiment, some of it in the Second Boer War in South Africa. Reappearing in 1903, he scored 247 against Nottinghamshire, at that time the highest score made against that county, and shared with Archie MacLaren a first-wicket partnership of 368 against Gloucestershire at Aigburth, Liverpool, which remains the Lancashire record. For the next three years, Spooner, along with MacLaren and Johnny Tyldesley, was the backbone of an extremely formidable batting side that played forty-five County Championship matches without defeat between August 1903 and July 1905.
Spooner's off-drive was particularly strong. In addition, great watchfulness made Spooner, in his prime, the best player of fast bowling on fiery pitches – which were the rule at Old Trafford in fine weather during the 1900s. Among many notable innings by Spooner on fiery wickets were against Essex in 1904 and for the Gentlemen at Lord's against Arthur Fielder in 1906.
The season of 1907 saw Spooner go into business and for a time it was feared he would not play at all. He did play five times for Lancashire but the county's poor batting showed how much he was missed when he again beat Fielder with an innings of 134 at Canterbury, and at the Scarborough Festival against the touring South Africans when he became credited as one of the first batsmen to work out the googly, the ball bowled with a leg break action that then breaks from the off. Furthermore, in 1908, when Spooner would have been in his element on rough Old Trafford pitches from which the ball often "flew", he played only one county match on the August Bank Holiday against Yorkshire. He found time for a few matches in both 1909 and 1910 and showed with 200 not out against Yorkshire on the Bank Holiday that he was as good a batsman as ever.
In 1911, Spooner was able to manage his business to permit him to play regularly until after the August Bank Holiday. He scored 2,312 runs at an average of more than 51 per innings, but announced he would not be able to tour Australia because of business. In 1912, Spooner played all six Tests and batted superbly in an appalling summer with his only Test century against South Africa being a highlight. Disaster struck though the following year when an accident while hunting prevented him playing. Moreover, business demands were such that Spooner never played more than a few matches a year from 1914 onwards. Yet, so well-thought-of was he that, after the First World War, Spooner was offered, and accepted, the captaincy of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) tour to Australia in 1920-21. However, he then had to turn it down because of injury. In the event, the MCC side led by Johnny Douglas lost the Test series 5-0 to the Australian cricket team led by Warwick Armstrong.
Spooner was a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1905. He was later president of Lancashire.
In rugby, Spooner was a centre three-quarter for Liverpool R.F.C. and played for England against Wales at Swansea in 1902-03.

December 11, 2016, Washington, DC — The 3rd Annual Summit of Rabbis and Imams was held today at Tifereth Israel Congregation in Washington, DC. The theme of the summit was standing up for each other and building enduring relationships to contribute towards the cohesiveness of America, an America where no one has to live in apprehension or fear of the other.
Story after story was shared. A seven year old boy asks his father on the next morning after the elections, "Dad, are we going to be kicked out of America now?" Another six year old girl asks the same question to her father and follows it up with, is any one in our family going to be deported?" A woman with a stroller and the baby was stopped by a guy driving the truck, who did not want her to cross the road. Swastikas were painted on some Jewish homes and synagogues and anti-Jewish statements have been made. A dramatic rise in Anti-Semitism /Islamophobia in particular and other phobias in general have caused a great deal of concern.
Collectively, mistakes have been made over the years, we have talked extensively about the issues facing Women, African Americans, Jews, LGBT, Muslims, Mexicans and all others except one group, the unemployed/ underemployed rural white Americans who were affected equally like all others.
Hillary Clinton did not extend a 'specific' hand of friendship towards them, had she done that, the story would have been different. This neglect has caused a severe damage to the social fabric of our nation; everyone is apprehensive and has lost trust in each other to function effectively. At least from here on we must include everyone in the dialogue, and as an individual my efforts would be directed towards reaching the disaffected ones. We cannot exclude anyone from our conversations. Our first priority ought to be making peace with those who are perceived to be polarized; without them, we remain polarized.
The first part of the summit was organized as round table talks – A Rabbi, Muslim and others were seated alternately around the table with a given set of questions to identify the problems and offer solutions over the fabulous lunch.
If Muslims were to run into a dire situation, most Americans will stand up for Muslims out of a sense of fairness and justice, and we know darn well that Muslims will reciprocate it wholeheartedly out of a sense of gratitude and inherent caring for fellow beings.
Jonathan Greenblatt, director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which campaigns against anti-Semitism and other bigotry, said he would register as Muslim if the database is created because of "painful memories" from when Jews were "identified, registered and tagged". That sentiment was echoed by virtually every Rabbi and laity present in the sanctuary.
My roaring thoughts were, how do we get this message to the world around us? As an American and a Muslim committed to building a cohesive America, where no American feels excluded or alienated, this event was uplifting and this good news must reach all Americans.
Unless we stand up for each other, the world would not be a better place to live. America's greatness lies in the spirit of standing up for each other. My peace hinges on peace of people around me no matter who they are, my security depends on the security of people around me no matter what political, religious or social affiliation they espouse.
Here is another great opportunity for Muslims and Jews to come together to strengthen the bonds. Our issues are not Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Sikh, Bahá'í or the other. They are American issues as they affect us all in functioning effectively, and together as Americans we have to find solutions. No American has to live with the feeling of alienation or apprehension or fear of the other. We are all in this together and stand with fellow Americans for the common good of every American.
No good is sustainable unless it is good for all. Imbalance or injustice leads to more of it.

Eighteen European companies and organisations launch the European Clean Trucking Alliance to call for zero-emission trucks
A newly-formed coalition of European key players in road freight, including POLIS, urges the EU to accelerate the transition to clean trucks in order to meet the emission targets of the proposed EU Climate Law by 2030 and achieve a carbon-neutral Europe by 2050.
Eighteen leading European businesses and organisations including Nestle, IKEA, Unilever, Michelin, Girteka Logistics and more are launching today, July 15, 2020, the European Clean Trucking Alliance (ECTA), a unique coalition to call for the decarbonisation of road freight in the EU.
ECTA brings together a broad and diverse range of European players in the road transport of goods such as leading businesses, associations and civil society organisations (see Annex below) that share a strong commitment to accelerate the EU's transition to zero-emissions trucks.
Frans Timmermans, European Commission Executive Vice President for the European Green Deal, says : "A green recovery is good for our health, our economy, and our jobs. I'm pleased to see yet again an impressive group of businesses, NGO's, and citizens from across Europe coming together in support of this goal. The European Clean Trucking Alliance offers European capitals a concrete project to include in their economic recovery plans: decarbonising truck fleets. With the European Green Deal as its compass, the Alliance can accelerate the move towards zero-emission freight transport for a healthier future and a stronger economy."
Kristian Kaas Mortensen, Director, Strategic Partnerships, Girteka Logistics, says: "Today trucks account for only 2% of vehicles on the road. Yet they are responsible for 22% of road transport CO2 emissions in the EU. We cannot meet the Paris agreement without decarbonising road freight. Replacing our 7.400 Euro 6 trucks with zero-emission vehicles is a must. Joining ECTA brings a strong and united voice to our common goal of having zero-emission trucks."
ECTA business members include major hauliers, logistics and consumer goods companies in Europe and beyond. Altogether, the ECTA business members employ more than 1.6 million people globally and have over EUR 325 billion yearly revenue. This latter figure is comparable to the GDP of Denmark. The organisations that have joined ECTA are some of the civil society organisations and associations with the strongest network of members and experience in transport and mobility at the European level. The International Council on Clean Transportation acts as a technical observer.
Stientje van Veldhoven, Minister for the Environment of The Netherlands and Chair of the Transport Decarbonisation Alliance, says: "I am very proud and happy to see major European fleet owners and operators launching the European Clean Trucking Alliance (ECTA) today. It's efficient; it's cost-effective; and it's necessary to start with zero-emission freight vehicles and I am happy that industry players are now
voicing this message in the EU. I'd like to see how we can accelerate the market for zero emission vans and trucks as part of the post-COVID-19 recovery. We need each other. We need you, you need us, and together we can move faster."
There are approximately 40 million vehicles delivering across Europe, with trucks carrying more than three-quarters of all freight transported overland. As road freight activity is expected to double by 2050, ECTA aims to support the EU in the development and implementation of sustainable road freight transport policies to drastically reduce CO2 and air pollutant emissions.
Teresa Ribera, Fourth Vice-President of the Government and Minister for Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge of Spain, says: "The road to zero emissions is global, cross-sectoral and unstoppable and, in this context, the shift towards clean technologies is becoming more evident across all segments of road
transportation. Initiatives such as the European Clean Trucking Alliance prove leadership required and the interest and capacity of the transport sector to anticipate and boldly tackle the problem of emissions from freight and to transform its operations into a clean supply chain, while attracting new talent to the industry and building a resilient business prepared for climate risk."
In its first communication "Europe's Opportunity to Decarbonise the Road Freight Sector", ECTA calls upon the European Commission to make the shift to zero-emissions trucks a priority in order to meet the ambitious emission targets of the proposed EU Climate Law by 2030 and achieve a carbon-neutral Europe by 2050.
Pascal Canfin, Member of the Europe Parliament and Chair of the European Parliament Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, says: "I welcome the creation of the European Clean Trucking Alliance. To make Europe the first climate-neutral continent by 2050, we need to support businesses that take concrete commitments to deploy green solutions that will decarbonise the road freight sector and accelerate the transition towards zero-emission mobility in Europe."
Adam Jarubas, Member of the European Parliament, says: "I welcome the fact that European business is endorsing emission reductions in transport. There is a lot of work to be done to overcome technical restrictions. We successfully managed to push for clean urban bus transport, which is the first important step. But this was possible on short, predictable routes of vehicles, which is not the case in long-range heavy road transport. To achieve our goal we need strong cooperation of all players: business, manufacturing industry and regulatory bodies."
In 2019, the EU set targets for reducing the average emissions from new lorries for 2025 and 2030 for the first time in the Union. As part of the upcoming European Commission's work programme, the Alliance urges the EU to take further steps and "come forward with a clear pathway and political strategy to enable the deployment of zero-emission vehicles and infrastructure".
As EU Member States consider recovery investments in response to the Covid-19 crisis, ECTA urges them "to safeguard jobs and support long-term sustainable solutions that will decarbonise the road freight sector".

Just last night when we were chatting with the other trekkers, we realised that we are the only ones going to Pothana while the rest were heading to Nayapul where they will take a cab/bus back to Pokhara. It was really tempting, to go back to civilization, have a long hot shower and sleep soundly on a real good bed in a real good room. However, after checking with Maila and do some calculation, it was not worth it to top up the extra $$ in order for civilization. Well, it's just one more night... so we followed as per plan.
Today will be another long journey. From Jhinu, we have to trek to some bigger villages like Landruk, Tolka and on to Deurali before we reach Pothana. This was also essentially the waterfall route as we pass by many many waterfalls. We also crossed many bridges thus we are crossing from 1 mountain to the other.
The longest bridge we need to walk across. According to Maila, there are some who took almost 10 mins to cross it.
Anyway, after 10 days in the mountain, actually however run-down it was, at least there's a roof to shelter you as compared to the less fortunates... so no complaints.


The structure of an organization can tell how hard it is to manage departments with different people involved in the business processes that are done by a specific company every day. There are a lot of things to be considered before making any move and before coming up to a final decision that will be used as a specific course of action.

Idiot Bundy Boys Are Even More Idiotic In Court: Incriminating Themselves
Sydney Robinson
You may have forgotten about the Bundy Boys and their alleged fight for liberty at the Malhuer Wildlife Refuge center, but while the rest of the world moves on, the rebel idiots have been languishing in the legal system.
Yes, the men who occupied a federal building in January of this year are just now getting their day in court, and true to their rebel ways, they are doing it without outside help, relying on their own God-given brain smarts – or something.
It was made clear just how indefensible the Bundy family's actions were at that refuge on Thursday, when the federal prosecutor in charge of the case spent a mere 15 minutes questioning ringleader Ammon Bundy about his role in the crimes.
Answering under oath, Bundy told the prosecutor that he was not the leader of the occupation. When asked to clarify, Bundy said that he merely taught others principles and then allowed them to self-govern. Sounds like a leader to me.
Bundy claimed that the police who arrested him used excessive force and exposed him and the others to excessive conditions, claiming that he and others "laid on the cold asphalt for a couple of hours."
Of course, if the rebels without a cause had chosen to stage their stand-in during a more seasonable month, they wouldn't have had to deal with cold asphalt.
The case against the Bundy brothers and their ragtag group of good-for-nothings continues, but as made clear by this brief encounter, there isn't a whole lot of defense to be made.

Home Biometrics Retarus bolsters its Email Security services with innovative new functions
Retarus bolsters its Email Security services with innovative new functions
Office 365 Sync, Whitelist and Targeted Members List for CxO Fraud Detection, Anti-Phishing AI
Munich-based Retarus GmbH has continued to develop its cutting edge Email Security Services, making them even more effective, with a whole range of new functions and features. Retarus has been providing email security as a service since 1994 and has continually been evolving and developing its offering, with dedicated Advanced Threat Protection, which includes the post-delivery protection mechanism 'Patient Zero Detection' and Retarus' botnet recognition, both of which are patented across Europe.
Email is a core means of communication for companies and the main gateway for the cyberattacks that threaten businesses. The consequences of such an attack could range from the destruction of the IT infrastructure to the loss of data, or even the total failure of the system and the resulting damage to the company's image. In most cases enormous costs are incurred which could have been avoided. Businesses can safeguard themselves against the catastrophic fallout by protecting themselves with Retarus' Cloud Email Security, which has also been included in the latest market overviews by leading analyst firms such as Gartner and Forrester as the only service from continental Europe.
Closer dovetailing with Microsoft Office 365
For companies working with Office 365, Retarus Email Security now also has the ability to synchronize with the directory services in the Microsoft cloud. The Azure Active Directory Synchronisation replaces manual data maintenance, thus reducing both the error-rate and efforts.
For the CxO Fraud Detection, a component part of the Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) offered by Retarus Email Security, there is now a Whitelisting Service. Customers can use this option when sending internal information – management newsletters, announcements and alerts from the HR or IT departments, and so on – via external service providers. The Whitelisting service ensures that these "internal" emails are received reliably. Another new feature is the Targeted Members List. Here the company can list employees whose email identities are particularly interesting for cybercriminals. As soon as a message arrives from such a "Targeted Member", the CxO Fraud Detection service checks the display name for authenticity. Depending on the outcome, the message is placed either in the inbox or in quarantine.
To identify phishing emails, Retarus Email Security now refers to additional data which is obtained with the help of machine-learning. This means that the filter is now able to detect the URLs of fake websites in inbound emails even more reliably and that Retarus' customers are now even better protected against phishing attacks. These safeguards are business critical, as Gartner warns that "by 2020, 60 percent of all companies will have fallen victim to phishing campaigns which have falsified their brand names and logos" (Fighting Phishing, Neil Wynne, Jonathan Care, 30 November 2017).
Innovative Email Security "Made in Germany"
"The fight against cyber criminals is a never-ending game of cat and mouse, in which we as specialists with more than 25 years of experience are constantly developing and advancing our cloud services for email security and adapting in response to changing circumstances", says Martin Hager, founder and CEO of Retarus. "We're constantly on the search for new ways to fulfill the ever-rising security requirements our customers have. I'm proud of the outstanding work our development team has performed and the high level of innovative power that Retarus has been able to maintain. Only recently, this was once again underlined when Forrester singled us out as the only German company and owner-led company, to be included amongst the twelve most important providers in the field of Email Security around the world."
About Retarus
Since 1992, Retarus has been supporting companies in achieving highly efficient communication. The global information logistics provider always plays an important role where large amounts of data need to be transmitted securely and reliably – irrespective of which communication channels, interfaces, applications and devices are required. The services are soundly based on a Global Delivery Network which includes the company's own data centers in the APAC region, Europe and the USA, as well as redundant carrier infrastructure. A total of 17 percent of Dow Jones corporations as well as numerous Fortune 500 companies in the banking, finance and healthcare sectors depend on Retarus' services. Longstanding customers include Adidas, Bayer, BT, DHL, DZ Bank, Honda, Mitsubishi, Panasonic and Sony. For more details: www.retarus.sg

So, I was really surprised that this issue has actually been present since the first ever release of EBS, and no one picked up on it. The indexes for the various sprites for Arceus' forms have been labelled incorrectly. The issue comes from the '???' type for which there are no graphics, yet the indexing kept progressing normally, which means that everything after the 8th form was shifted down by one. I've fixed that up, and uploaded the newly renamed sprites.
I can't account for resources I haven't officially provided. The sprites you're using don't seem to have the proper formatting of the sprite reel, as per the instructions of this resource. Each individual frame in this spritesheet has to have their height be equal to their width (i.e. square); and each individual frame has to be ordered side by side and have the exact same dimensions. This is important as this determines the way their animation is rendered. Sorry, but I can't do anything about faulty 3rd party resources you are using.
**Edit** Ok, I installed a clean copy and everything works fine. I think the issue was that when I originally downloaded the system, I did it via third party somewhere and some of the sprites had been tampered with. I should have figured as much.... Anyway, great system. It makes the whole game so much more immersive.
So I was working on the pokedex and tried to change the def "setSpeciesBitmap" in the Pokédex-Script to show the shadow version of a Pokémon. I tried to change the parameters of this method, but unfortunately it doesn't work.
In this case it would set the "shadow"-parameter to true.
I tried the same process on a clean Vanilla Essentials and there it works fine. Since EBS overwrites the def "setSpeciesBitmap", it somehow doesn't recognize its shadow-parameter. The same goes with "shiny". "back" on the other hand works perfectly fine.
I don't know if it's intended and there is another way to accomplish that or if it's just a bug. Anyway I wanted to let you know and maybe you have a solution for my problem?
I'm using EBS 1.3.2 and Pokémon Essentials V16.2.
Since the stock Pokedex from vanilla Essentials gets broke, EBS includes a patch to fix this. And if you're applying your changes directly in the Pokedex script, they'll get overwritten. Check out line 338 in EliteBattle_BitmapWrapper for sauce; and delete the stuff you don't want.
For some reason I suddenly get this error.
Tried it at a clean Essentials+Ebs but still get this error when the Rpg.Net.dll is inside the folder.
Your system probably doesn't have the .NET Framework installed on it. I'd recommend doing a quick google search for the official download from one from Microsoft (versions 4.0 and above work as well from my experience).
Does that mean that if I include this in my game I cannot include any battle footage in my trailer for my game? By the way I know to give credit.
There is no skill involved in double clicking on an installer. Everybody knows what EBS looks like at this point. I'm trying to promote some originality. No, I don't want to see another trailer that is 80% just showing stock EBS. It's a trailer for your game, show the stuff you made. If you want to let people know you're using EBS, you can simply just put it in a "features" list in your game's thread/page.
i have no idea of what happening.
You're using the wrong trainer sprite. That's the sprite formatted for the standard Essentials battle system. EBS comes with a different sprite that's formatted to work with the EBS battle system.
While using your system, I did notice that the battle systems' UI is never deposed and the sprites linger after battle. This never becomes apparent, because the elements are positioned off-screen, so I didn't even notice until I started messing around with the resolution. I wanted to make sure if this behavior is intentional and I should just them off-screen when re-positioning the UI for the new resolution or if it was intended for them to be deposed.
Nah, that's just an oversight on my end. I still have to make adjustments to the Bag UI to have it position/scale properly on different screen sizes - which is something that I'll be publishing with the next update. I'll post here once I've finished everything I want for the next update. This update will be exclusive for the new UPI though.
is there a way to put in one custom move animation from the animation editor instead the default animation for each type?
b'cause i'm adding in lots of new moves and most of them don't go well with the default animations.
An amazing plug-in! 10/10! But, may I recommend that you add Gen 6-7 into the next big update, or at least the animated sprites. Keep up the great work!
So basically I don't want the animated Elite Battle System Pokemon Sprites, but I still want all of the other cool stuff that comes with EBS.I was wondering if anybody had collected static sprites that are scaled proportionally to EBS. I know I could do this myself, but I just wanted to see if anyone had done this before I go and do all of the Pokemon. You might be wondering why I would want to do this, it is because nobody has animated 6-7 sprites and creating new fakemon sprites that are animated is out of my skill level. Just to make my game look a little more clean I don't want to have static and animated sprites at the same time (because in my opinion that looks bad). Thanks for any help.
