Tributes paid to 'kind' primary school teacher
By Liam Waite @imliamwaite Reporter
TRIBUTE: Kathryn Turnbull with her daughter Iona	MIKE MCKENZIE
TRIBUTES have been paid to a popular teacher who has died.
Kathryn Turnbull passed away surrounded by her family on May 22 aged 44.
Mrs Turnbull, nee Rooney, taught at St Patrick's Primary School in Cleator Moor for more than 20 years after joining as a newly-qualified teacher.
Headteacher Emma Jackson said: "Kathryn was a long-serving member of staff and was a very calm, dedicated person who took everything in her stride.
"She was never flustered and was a really good listener who was always there if someone needed a sounding board.
"She taught right across the school, in every age range, and was really well-loved by all the children that went through her care.
"She was incredibly kind and that is probably the stand-out word everybody has used to describe her.
"We will miss her dearly, she has left a big hole in our lives."
Mrs Turnbull's funeral was held at St Mary's Church in Egremont on June 4 and was attended by some of her former colleagues.
She leaves her husband Ewan and daughter Iona.
Mrs Turnbull was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010 and served as chairperson for BrEaST friends (West Cumbria Breast Cancer Support Group).

Jacques Antoine Bonebakker (Amsterdam, 16 november 1798 – aldaar, 17 maart 1868) was een Nederlandse goud- en zilversmid en juwelier.

Biografie
Bonebakker was een zoon van Adrianus Bonebakker (1767-1842) en Elisabeth du Pré (1760-1811). Op 23 juni 1825 huwde hij met Wendelina Elisabeth van Manen (1803-1865). Uit dit huwelijk werden drie dochters en twee zonen Willem Christiaan Bonebakker (1827-1906) en Johannes Christiaan Reinier Bonebakker (1829-1883) geboren.

As Bonebakker & Zoon
Zijn vader nam in 1802 met Diederik Lodewijk Bennewitz als compagnon een bekende Nederlandse goud-, zilver- en juwelierswinkel van die dagen over, de firma gebroeders Peirolet. In de eerste jaren onder de naam gebroeders Peirolet, Bennewitz & Bonebakker en later als Bennewitz & Bonebakker. De firma voerde talloze opdrachten uit, zoals de sleutels van Amsterdam in 1806 om aan te bieden aan koning Lodewijk Napoleon bij zijn intocht in Amsterdam. Nadat de compagnons om zakelijke redenen in 1821 uiteen waren gegaan, startte Bennewitz de firma Bennewitz & Zonen en ging Adrianus met zijn zoon door onder de naam As Bonebakker & Zoon. In 1822 vestigde Bonebakker zich in een pand op de hoek van de Leidsestraat en de Herengracht.

Jacques Antoine Bonebakker werd op 28 januari 1822 als goud- en zilversmid ingeschreven in het Register van de Waarborg, maar heeft het meesterteken waarschijnlijk nooit gebruikt. De voorwerpen van goud, zilver en juwelen werden uitbesteed aan goud- en zilversmeden als T.G. Bentvelt, J.A. de Haas, R. Helweg, J.H. Stellingwerff en P. Pieterse.

In 1830 kreeg de firma de opdracht van de Stad Amsterdam tot het maken van een 94-delig zilveren servies voor het huwelijk van prinses Marianne van Oranje-Nassau met prins Albert van Pruisen, dochter van koning Willem I. Het kostte 18.837 gulden. Als dank voor het servies schonk prinses Marianne in 1832 een portret van zichzelf aan de Stad Amsterdam. Naast opdrachten voor het vervaardigen van zilverwerk krijgt As Bonebakker & Zoon ook andere bijzondere opdrachten, zoals de gouden eredegen voor generaal David Hendrik baron Chassé die het bevel had over een Nederlandse divisie tijdens de oorlogen tegen Napoleon, waaronder de Slag bij Waterloo in 1815. De gouden degen werd aan Chassé geschonken door een groep Tielse vrienden. Kort na de Tiendaagse Veldtocht in augustus 1831 werd er nog een gouden sabel besteld, dit keer in opdracht van de Prins van Oranje. In 1840 kreeg het bedrijf de opdracht van koning Willem II voor het maken van de koningskroon. De maker van deze kroon, die nog steeds bij kroningen wordt gebruikt, was Theodorus Gerardus Bentvelt.

Het hoekhuis van de Leidsestraat en de Herengracht was vijftien jaar zetel van de firma, tot Bonebakker moest omzien naar een ruimer pand. Op 1837 verhuisde As Bonebakker & Zoon naar het achttiende-eeuwse grachtenhuis 'Het Witte Paard' thans Herengracht 376, waar het tot de verhuizing naar Rokin 88-90 in 1954 gevestigd was. Bonebakker besloot in 1854 tot de oprichting van een eigen goud- en zilversmidswerkplaats. Hij kocht het pand Korte Leidsedwarsstraat 51, trok vakbekwame werkmeester aan en nam meester-zilversmid Pieter Pieterse in dienst, welke de leiding kreeg over de werkplaats. De werkstukken die het nieuwe atelier verlieten, droegen het Bonebakker-meesterteken. In dit jaar traden ook Bonebakker zoons Willem Christiaan en Johannes Christiaan Reinier als derde generatie aan in het bedrijf.

Vierenveertig jaren had Jacques Antoine Bonebakker – mede of alleen – het bedrijf geleid, toen hij in 1868 stierf. Zijn zonen zetten de firma As Bonebakker & Zoon voort. Onder de naam Bonebakker bestaat het bedrijf nog steeds.

Based in the county of Beds in the East of England, the quiet town of Leighton Buzzard lies near to the boundary in between Beds and Buckinghamshire, beside the Grand Union Canal, Leighton Buzzard has a resident population of around 37,000 and a historical past harping back to Roman times, when the historical Watling Street (now the A-5) passed by the town. Presently Leighton Buzzard is attached to the adjoining town of Linslade and is about midway between Luton (Bedfordshire) and Milton Keynes (Bucks), it is situated very close to the Chiltern Hills (Chilterns) and has a substantial quarrying industry (sand).
The Story of Leighton Buzzard: It is considered that there had been settlements in or around what is now called Leighton Buzzard long ago in unrecorded times, ancient artefacts and coinage uncovered nearby give proof of this. The age-old Watling Street (engineered by the Romans), now called the A5, went through the neighbouring towns of Dunstable and Hockliffe around about two thousand in years past, and the Romans will have at the very least known of the Leighton Buzzard settlement as they passed it.
The Romans were followed by the Anglo-Saxons, and it was they who developed a market in around the 10th Century, and antiquities picked up mean that they were residing in the area in all likelihood from the sixth century. The village as it was then was not cited until 906 after the Danes made a peace treaty at Tiddenfoot, the 1086 Domesday Book described Leighton Manor.
The parish of Leighton Buzzard, over the years, incorporated a considerably larger area than merely the town alone, and contained the hamlets of Eggington, Billington, Stanbridge and Heath & Reach. The "Leighton" in the name might possibly have come from the old English for "a clearing in the woods", the "Buzzard" portion wouldn't be added prior to the twelfth century after the Dean of Lincoln needed to distinguish it from a different "Leighton" that existed inside his diocese. The Manors of Leighton would be tenanted to a number of tenants over the years, for example the Leighs of Stoneleigh, who helped Charles I throughout the English Civil War (1642-1645).
Leighton Buzzard carried on growing over the ensuing years and the development of a canal and a railway line in the 19th Century saw the town develop and evolve. Current day Leighton Buzzard is a prosperous market town which has seen accelerated development in modern times.

Raquel Liberman
by Nora Glickman
Raquel Liberman was born in Berdichev in the Ukraine on July 10, 1900. As a child, she emigrated with her family to Warsaw. On December 21, 1919 she married Yaacov Ferber, a tailor, in Warsaw, according to the Jewish rite. In l920 their first son, Joshua David Ferber, was born. A year later, while she was pregnant with her second child, Yaacov Ferber emigrated to Argentina alone, joining his married sister and brother-in-law in the small village of Tapalqué, in the province of Buenos Aires. By the time Raquel Ferber and her sons Joshua and Moshe Velvele (Mauricio) joined him in Buenos Aires on October 22, 1922, Yaacov was already suffering from tuberculosis. He died a few months later. In order to support her family and with no knowledge of Spanish, Raquel, aged twenty-three, found herself obliged to leave her children in her provincial village, under the care of trusted neighbors, and find work in the capital. Unable to makes ends meet from her work as a seamstress, she was either forced into or voluntarily entered prostitution. Facts and fiction about her actual dealings are blurred. What is undisputed, however, is that after a few years of practicing that trade, she tried unsuccessfully to leave it. After a second attempt she succeeded in publicly denouncing the Zwi Migdal, formerly called Varsovia, a Jewish organization named after its founder, Zwi Migdal, which engaged in the white slave trade.
A close examination of Raquel Liberman's recently discovered personal letters, photos and documents gives clear proof that she told the public only part of the truth about herself, deliberately choosing to keep her life from 1924 to 1928 in obscurity. She succeeded in concealing her legal marriage in Poland and the birth of her children from both the Zwi Migdal and the police. In her 1929 declaration she stated that her identity card indicated that her marital status when she immigrated to Buenos Aires in 1924 was that of a single woman. She also stated that she had been forced into prostitution and that she had been accompanied by a certain Bronya Coyman. Coyman turned out to be the traffickers' agent who led her to her first exploiter, Jaime Cissinger. Furthermore, Raquel Liberman stated that after working for four years as a prostitute she managed to pay for her freedom and that, although she opened an antique shop and became independent, she continued to suffer pressure from the traffickers.
Unlike other victims of exploitation, Raquel Liberman was allowed to pay her "caftan," Jaime Cissinger, a percentage of her earnings in exchange for his protection. But she managed to put away enough money to buy her own freedom and arranged for her rescue with the help of a compatriot. With her savings she opened an antique shop in Buenos Aires. But when the organization realized her ruse, they sent an intermediary, Mauricio Kirstein, to force her back with physical threats. At this point Liberman issued her first denunciation to the police, on December 29, 1929. As the first ploy of the Zwi Migdal had failed, they lured her with a marriage proposal. Liberman fell for it, and married José Salomón Korn in a Jewish ceremony, ignorant of the fact that the synagogue at 3280 Cordoba Street was false and the ten witnesses at the wedding all members of the Zwi Migdal, so that her marriage was a farce. The honeymoon turned out to be very short, since she soon realized that she had been deceived and that her new husband was a notorious pimp. Besides taking away her belongings, Korn forced his "wife" to resettle in another brothel in Buenos Aires. Looking for help, Raquel approached Simon Brutkievich to intercede in her favor, not knowing that he was president of the Zwi Migdal. Brutkievich proposed compensating her by returning part of her stolen money and jewels on condition that she cancel her denunciation to the police. But rather than give in, Liberman stayed firm in her action.
Having failed in her attempts to gain her freedom and dispossessed of all her belongings, Liberman once again became a victim of the traffickers. In order that she not lose her authorization to return to prostitution, the procurers' syndicate sent her papers to the court, declaring that Liberman was living a double life, "given to prostitution in her country of origin, and that she continued practicing it professionally since her arrival in Buenos Aires without interrupting the obligatory visits to the Municipal Health Office when she set up her business."
On December 31, l929, after her failure to recover her money from the Zwi Migdal, Liberman sought the help of Ezrat Nashim, the Society for the Protection of Girls and Women. She endured further slavery before managing to submit another denunciation to Chief Police Inspector Julio Alsogaray, who was investigating the Zwi Migdal for crimes of corruption, extortion and blackmail and had been attempting for years to act against this criminal organization. For their part, to purge the "impure" elements (the "teme'im") from their midst, the Jewish institutions openly confronted the traffickers. The campaign they mounted against them consisted mostly of expelling them from their community, preventing them from entering their synagogues and from burying their dead in Jewish cemeteries.
In 1930, when the civil government of Hypólito Yrigoyen (1852–1933) fell as a result of the military coup d'état of General Uriburu, the time was ripe for a judge, Manuel Rodriguez Ocampo, to raid the headquarters of the Zwi Migdal, seize its documents, order the closure of dozens of brothels, the conviction and deportation of numerous pimps and madams, and finally dismantle the organization with the capture of many members of the Migdal. However, out of the 434 active members who were brought to trial, only l08 were convicted of minor crimes.
The newspapers of the time displayed large front page headlines. Prostitution was banned in Argentina in 1935. As a result of Liberman's courageous action, the papers published detailed lists of the names of the traffickers and madams that operated the Zwi Migdal. Raquel Liberman thus became a symbol for the struggle of victimized women to obtain freedom from exploitation. In literature, her example inspired the semi-fictional works of Humberto Costantini (1924–1987), Carlos Serrano, Myrtha Shalom and Nora Glickman.
Raquel Liberman died of thyroid cancer on April 7, 1935.

Parkhill Collection
Peter Parkhill was a singer in various folk music clubs in Melbourne in the early 1970s when he became interested in the musical traditions of various language, nationality or region-based communities. He became known to many singers and musicians and was invited to their homes and to parties and concerts where there music was played. With some assistance from the Australia Council, he began to record their music and also interviews and has continued to do so ever since. He has produced many programs on these musical traditions for Radio National.
Parkhill is a graduate in Anthropology and Ethnomusicology and has written several scholarly papers on folk music and traditional music. He has at times had academic appointments, but for much of his career he has been a freelance oral historian. In 1993 he was appointed by the Newcastle City Council to carry out an oral history project on the Newcastle earthquake. In 1994-95 he undertook the Voices from Illawarra project for the National Library.
The original collection was purchased by the National Library in 1986. In 1991-93 the Library provided grants to assist Parkhill in recording singers and musicians and further recordings of this kind have been received in more recent years. The Library also helped fund the Newcastle Earthquake and 'Voices of Illawarra' projects in 1993-95.
TRC 2525
The original collection comprised 222 tapes and cassettes, with over 60 hours of playing time. They were mostly recorded in Melbourne in 1975-83 and include traditional songs and dance music of Turkey, songs and dances of Abruzzi and Compo Basso, Russian songs and liturgical chants, traditional music of Greece, Greek Macedonia, Crete and Syria and Lebanese improvised poetry. There are also yarns, rhymes and songs of rural Gippsland and Pacific Islander music. In 1990 Parkhill added 32 tapes and cassettes recorded in Sydney in 1986-87, including Timorese and Paraguayan music, a Vietnamese music ensemble and interviews with directors of Greek, Turkish and Serbian music and dance organisations. In 1993 further tapes were added relating to Arabic, Persian, Greek, Turkish, Hungarian and South American music.
The collection comprises 46 interviews on 175 tapes with people involved in the aftermath of the 1989 Newcastle earthquake. They include a seismologist, an architect, builders, engineers, a demolition worker, social workers, a trade union leader, police officers, fire brigade officers, a politician, councillors and academics and a playwright.
The 'Voices from Illawarra' collection consists of 18 interviews on 93 tapes with people who had lived in the Illawarra region from the 1920s to the 1990s. They include a civil engineer, school teachers and language teachers, a trade union official, a retired waterside worker, a retired coal miner, a bush worker and a leader of the Italian community.
Later recordings acquired from Parkhill include interviews with Greek Australian musicians and broadcasters, Australian folksingers, an Australian Aboriginal singer, and anthropologists and musicologists.
The Parkhill Collection is housed in the Oral History Collection. The later recordings have been catalogued individually, but only a small number of the recordings in the three collections described above have been catalogued.

Why Do People Say "Aloha From Hawaii?"
Does it mean that they're in Hawaii and they're saying "Aloha?" Or are they remarking that "Aloha" is a Hawaiian word? It seems redundant that one would say that.
A lady spoke in a sacrament meeting yesterday. I don't remember what it was about, but she told a story that caught my attention. She sells quilts and jewelry and things at the PCC mission home, and their earnings goes toward students' education. One day they weren't selling enough quilts, and she and the other sister in the home prayed for the sale of quilts so they could make their earnings goal for the day to help the students. Toward the end of the day, a couple came by and bought three quilts, which satisfied their goal for the day.
That's it. That was her experience she shared. She shared that as a testimony of the Lord's hand in our lives.
Of all the testimony-bearing stories I've heard throughout my life, this one is probably one of the least effective to me. But I watched this lady's face, and she was teary-eyed; this little experience moved her. From seeing how it affected her, I've gained an even stronger realization of miracles and how the Lord is present in every aspect of our lives. I was very appreciative of it, so I decided to recognize the "little" miracles in my everyday life.
- Some nights I get so tired that I just can't wake up for Baby; if she cries, I can't even hear it. But those nights are when my mister comes to the rescue and cares for her.
- I gave Baby a bath one night and my phone fell in her bathwater, but the phone didn't short circuit, so Baby was completely unharmed. The phone was fine, too.
- The carrier came in, and the wife of the seller said that her 4-month-old didn't like it at all. Luckily, our 2-month-old does.
- My parents now have a better internet connection, so they can make more calls and write more emails than they had before. Even though that has almost nothing to do with me, I know that they were praying for that, and now I'm glad they have it.
And, of course, every day of life is a miracle in itself. I'm deeply grateful for that.

Polymer-peptide delivery platforms: Effect of oligopeptide orientation on polymer-based DNA delivery
Sangram S. Parelkar, Rachel Letteri, Delphine Chan-Seng, Olga Zolochevska, Jayne Ellis, Marxa Figueiredo, Todd Emrick
The success of nonviral transfection using polymers hinges on efficient nuclear uptake of nucleic acid cargo and overcoming intra- and extracellular barriers. By incorporating PKKKRKV heptapeptide pendent groups as nuclear localization signals (NLS) on a polymer backbone, we demonstrate protein expression levels higher than those obtained from JetPEI and Lipofectamine 2000, the latter being notorious for coupling high transfection efficiency with cytotoxicity. The orientation of the NLS peptide grafts markedly affected transfection performance. Polymers with the sequence attached to the backbone from the valine residue achieved a level of nuclear translocation higher than the levels of those having the NLS groups attached in the opposite orientation. The differences in nuclear localization and DNA complexation strength between the two orientations correlated with a striking difference in protein expression, both in cell culture and in vivo. Polyplexes formed from these comb polymer structures exhibited transfection efficiencies superior to those of Lipofectamine 2000 but with greatly reduced toxicity. Moreover, these novel polymers, when administered by intramuscular ultrasound-mediated delivery, allowed a high level of reporter gene expression in mice, demonstrating their therapeutic promise in vivo.

Pay to park rule may be changed
Published: 11:30 AM March 27, 2009 Updated: 5:45 PM December 11, 2020
TOPSHAM car parks could soon revert back to being free after nearly 100 residents complained to city councillors.
TOPSHAM car parks could soon revert back to being free after nearly 100 residents complained to city councillors.Parking was the most discussed topic in Topsham after residents were invited to an open forum with the police, county and city councillors, and Steve Carnell, in charge of parking in Exeter.The biggest point of contention was the introduction of car parking fees at Tappers Close Car Park - residents said this effectively left them without a free car park.Car parking fees were introduced earlier this year.This was to allow train users to park in the overflow car park and to make up the shortfall of the city council's concessionary bus scheme.However, residents pointed out the car park was literally empty since the charges came into force.County Councillor Andrew Leadbetter said: "A lot of the anger is against the city council for their car park charges."People wanted to know why the city council can't give them leeway- they could be more sympathetic to Topsham's uniqueness."The city council promised at the meeting, held at Matthews Hall, on Thursday, March 19, to review the car parking charges.PCSO Percy Giles said: "We organised the meeting after we got together with Councillor Rob Newby and looked at (parking) solutions, such as making it payable only for a few hours day."It was important to have people's opinions in an open forum."Residents asked councillors to address their parking problems, both the lack of spaces and the problems dangerous and illegal parking present to other motorists.One of the ideas taken up at the meeting was to take up the verges to allow for echelon parking.If you would like Tappers Close car park to be free, call Councillor Andrew Leadbetter on 07815 967989 to have your say.

How Do You Measure a Year in the Life? (Happy Second Anniversary to Us!)
Two years ago today, Mike & I said "I do" right here in Cleveland, OH, surrounded by our friends & family & so many of our favorite people in the whole, wide world.
We signed our custom-made ketubah & stood beneath a chuppah held by our wedding party, topped with a tablecloth embroidered by my great-grandmother.
We exchanged the vows we'd written ourselves, & our friend & rabbi declared us husband & wife, in accordance with Ohio law & Jewish law.
We ate pierogis & drank "felix felicis" & danced to everything from Ray LaMontagne to the Beach Boys to Montel Jordan to Justin Bieber.
And then we started the rest of our lives together as a married couple.
It's cliche, but it's true: Marriage can be really freaking hard.
Marriage is thinking about another person's wants & needs at least as much as you think about your own, if not more.
Marriage is having a perpetual roommate, even on those days when all you want it to hibernate from the world & be alone.
Marriage is sometimes not getting what the other person doesn't get, as if you should be able to read one another's minds simply by virtue of spending so much time together.
Marriage is not saying the mean things. Mean is talking it out before one of you falls asleep. Marriage is doing the chores you don't care that much about. Marriage is compromise & creativity.
Marriage can be really freaking hard, but it's also, for the most part, extraordinarily easy.
Because marriage is spending your life with your best friend.
Marriage is a slumber party every single night.
Marriage is having a built-in person to support you (& vice versa).
Marriage is charting a path for your future & knowing you won't be alone in it.
Marriage is imagining growing old - & not being afraid of it as long as you're together.
Marriage is knowing your wife's coffee order & surprising your husband with pho & standing side by side at his grandmother's grave & not even being that mad that he's snoring because you secretly think it's sort of adorable.
Marriage is fun & honest & open & wonderful & normal & so freaking joyful.
And I never thought I could do it, but here I am, loving it.
Happy two years of marriage, Mike Kaput. Here's to many, many more.

Breakthroughs: Could Smart Contact Lenses Transform Medicine?
Whether the possibility of viewing the world through the eyes of a computer sounds mind-blowing or just plain creepy is a matter of perspective, no pun intended.
Some of the biggest names in technology—Google, Samsung, and Sony—have taken early steps towards making smart contacts a reality, and the implications for medicine, diabetes in particular, could be huge.
Last year, Google received a patent for a lens that monitors glucose levels. They've partnered with Novartis, and human testing is set for this year.
Another set of smart contact lenses, which showed promise in an early study, can be used to predict which glaucoma patients may have a form of the disease that progresses faster.

Olympic Trials Part 1 – Upsets & Speed
We've finally arrived to that part of the season that really matters – Olympic team qualifying! That means EVERYONE had to show up. That means some of the best competition of the year. That means watching track and field the way it is supposed to be watched – in a stadium; with ALL of the events represented! And guess what? No one leaves early. No one is worried about "attention spans". No one needs bands playing in the parking lot, or portions of the meet in the street! Why? Because when you get the best athletes available to compete, the sport in its purest form is as good as ANY sport on the planet to watch – perhaps better than most. That's why the challenge of this sports leaders isn't trying to figure out new ways to "present" the sport, but rather how to get the world's best on the track to compete more often! Frankly I don't think that's going to be a problem soon, and I'll explain why in a subsequent post. Today it's all about the Trials. Primarily the US Trials, but a mention about some others.
Once again the American Trials are demonstrating any they are the second best meet on the planet every four years – second only to the Olympics themselves! It's simple, depth of competition and drama. Depth of competition leads to drama, as the US qualifying system of, one meet, first three finishers on THAT DAY is the most cut throat on the planet! If you're an athlete, mark your calendar. The days your events are run are the only days that matter this year – because of hits not on THEM, you have to purchase a ticket if you want to see the Games! So, how has it worked out so far? Not great if you're a veteran.
This year is becoming one of those transformational years. A year where athletes we've seen in two, maybe three, Olympic cycles find their date with Father time was booked in Eugene. For some it started before the first round as Carmelita Jeter and Nick Symmonds had to give in to injury and were not unable to toe the line. Jeter is the second fastest woman in history (10.64, 100m); Symmonds the third fastest American ever (1:42.95, 800m). Sport can be unforgiving.
Sanya Richards Ross lined up for the first round of the 400, but the AR holder (48.70) found the going too tough as she had to withdraw around 200 meters! The casualties continued to mount however as a plethora of veterans and young favorites found roadblocks in their Road to Rio including: Donovan Brazier, Duane Solomon, Reece Hoffa, Lauren Roesler, Gina Gall, Maggie Vessey, and Vernon Norwood. All eliminated early. There were also youth stars giving it a shot and finding out they aren't quite ready yet: Noah Lyles, Michael Norman, Kaylin Whitney, and Candace Hill found out how deep US sprinting is – though I suspect all will be in the mix in 2020!
So much for the tragedy. That's part of the game in the deepest Trials on the planet! Who made the team? The field events got it going starting with the shot put. Ryan Crouser winning with a huge 72′ 7.5" toss, with Joe Kovacs at 72′ 0.25". Brittany Reece hit a monster 23′ 11.75" to blast to her long jump win. And the men put on a show as Jeff Henderson 28′ 2.25", and Jarrion Lawson 28′ 1.75" led the deepest long jump competition in history with seven men over 27 feet!
As usual, special things happen when America's best get together to select an Olympic team. None more special than watching Allyson Felix begin get attempt at a 200/400 double, starting with the quarter. What was once thought to be a "gimme" became a struggle as Felix hurt an ankle in training earlier in the spring. She delicately worked through the first two rounds and appeared to be out of contention through 250 meters when she found another gear, and literally ran right through the field to victory in a world's leading 49.68. The real shocker was that it wasn't Courtney Okolo fighting her for the win, as the NCAA champion and world leader coming into the meet was relegated to a shocking 6th – another casualty of the veterans/favorites syndrome of this meet!
Surprisingly however, it was the sprints, which should be volatile, that proved to be somewhat predictable. Just as Felix came through for the win, LaShawn Merritt did the same in the men's 400, storming to a 43.96 world's leading time. He was led to victory by the torrid early pace of Gil Roberts who literally "held on" to take second in 44.67 – surprising most prognosticators including myself. Merritt looks prepared to go to war in what could be the most competitive event in Rio. At least half a dozen men could enter the stadium with PRs under 44.00, including last year's World medalists – Van Niekerk, Merritt, and James.
Speaking of war, the 100 meters has become a global one on one between the US and Jamaica. Jamaica had their trials this weekend as well, with the 100 one day earlier than ours – so they got first say, so to speak. They too, however, had both triumph and tragedy. On the triumph side, Elaine Thompson ran away with the title in 10.70 – burying Shelley Ann Fraser Pryce and tying her national record (=#4 all time). The tragedy was the hamstring injury suffered by defending Olympic champion Usain Bolt. Who withdraw from the meet. Bolt says he will try to show fitness prior to the Games to have the Jamaican federation place him on the team. In his absence, Yohan Blake took the title in 9.95.
The US response was on point. On the women's side, Tori Bowie, Jenna Prandini, and English Gardner dominated the rounds. In the final Prandini's start failed her; Gardner and Tianna Bartloletta nailed theirs; and Bowie closed like a train. The result: Gardner (10.74), Bartoletta (10.78), Bowie (10.78) – first time in history three women were under 10.80 in the same race! Rio will be HOT.
The men showed fitness too. Specifically Justin Gatlin and Trayvon Bromell who ran 9.83 and 9.86 in their semis. Everyone else was clearly running for one spot. Including AR holder Tyson Gay who couldn't seem to find a start to save his life. In the final, Gay's start failed him again as Gatlin and Bromell nailed it. Gatlin (9.80 WL) and Bromell (9.84) booked easy tickets to Rio. In the fight for the third spot, Marvin Bracy (9.98) snuck in for the last golden ticket. A formidable group heads to Rio. The only question is will Bolt be there?
This weekend was as hot as it gets. World leading performances back to back to back all weekend. Key veterans like Felix, Reese, Merritt, and Gatlin will lead the youngsters into competitive battle. If the rest of the squad is anything like the members chosen the first few days, we'll be in great shape. I'm looking forward to seeing what else transpires.

Elon Musk's Neuralink backed by Google Ventures, Peter Thiel, Sam Altman

Elon Musk's brain-machine interface company Neuralink has raised $ 205 million from investors including Google Ventures, Peter Thiels Founders Fund and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman.
The Series C round, announced in a blog post on Thursday, was led by Dubai-based Vy Capital.
It comes two years after Neuralink raised $ 51 million. The total investment in the company now amounts to $ 363 million, according to the start-up tracker Crunchbase.
Founded in 2016, Neuralink seeks to develop high bandwidth brain implants that can communicate with phones and computers.
The company is targeting quadriplegics with its first devices – who cannot interact with many of today's devices – and is working on human studies.
"The first clue this device is for is to help quadriplegics regain their digital freedom by allowing users to interact with their computers or phones in high bandwidth and naturally," it says.
So far, the technology has been tested on pigs and a monkey that could play the video game pong with its mind.
The company said its first product, known as the N1 Link, will be "completely invisible" after implantation and will transmit data over a wireless connection.
"The funds from the round will be used to bring Neuralink's first product to market and accelerate research and development on future products," said Neuralink.
Several other companies are also developing brain-computer interfaces, including Blackrock Neurotech, supported by Thiel and his friend Christian Angermayer.
Elsewhere, scientists from the University of Melbourne have already achieved some success with brain-computer interfaces.
A university study in October showed that two people thought about controlling a computer with a stentrode (a small array of electrodes mounted on a stent) developed by Australian biotech company Synchron, without having to shave and pierce the skull.
The Stentrode brain-computer interface enabled two people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – a rare neurological disorder – to type, text messages, email, online banking, and make online purchases through thoughts.

Your kidding, right? You must either be young, or new to computers, because in the old days (at least up to Win95, and still beyond I think), most major games were DOS, not Windows games. Things such as the original Wolfenstein and Doom, the Wing Commanders and Privateers, etc, etc, etc. Best ever DOS game for me may be the original Privateer.

I think that one good DOS based game is "Commander Keen." That was cool. Also, the original "Duke Nukem" was good, and didn't need a first-person perspective or any nude girls to get by.
I've used computers for about as long as I can remember, with no breaks. Just kidding. I like a lot of DOS-based games. I remember stuff like "jeopardy Jr.," "The Price Is Right," and "Wolfenstein 3D." (I admit, I've only downloaded it recently, but still.)
Hmmm… maybe I should try making a DOS-based game (with graphics). Windows seems too hard to program.
I'm 12, and when i was 5 to about 7 my family lived in India and the only computer was my mom's work-only computer, so by the time I really started to use computers I think dos was pretty much phased out

Second Amendment supporters in San Diego County are looking forward to a Trump administration. Although the most problematic gun laws restricting our Second Amendment rights originate in Sacramento, there is optimism in the gunfight at the federal level. And for many good reasons.
Mr. Obama, only days into his administration, wasted little time with efforts to crackdown on your ability to own firearms. His goal was obvious: to ban guns. He attacked the Second Amendment using agencies at all levels of government. Over his eight years of ruin, Mr. Obama used national tragedies to advance his anti-gun rhetoric and political agenda to severely limit our Second Amendment rights. Even before the election, gun owners were so worried Hillary Clinton would win the presidency that gun and ammunition sales skyrocketed.
However, with Mr. Trump, we see an historic opportunity to install lasting protections for future and present gun owners. Mr. Trump ran the most assertively pro-Second Amendment campaign in memory. His campaign openly declared a dedication to protecting and defending the Second Amendment. Most often, his viewpoint was a pragmatic approach aimed at self-defense, rather than simply protecting a tradition for hunters.
So, what should President Trump do when it comes to gun laws? We have a few suggestions.
Support legislation ensuring national reciprocity to guarantee people with concealed-carry handgun permits from one state can carry while traveling to the other states. Currently, many permit holders must leave their firearm at home when traveling or risk violating other states' laws. Most states already have reciprocity and it is time for the remaining states to modernize and evolve. It's common sense to treat a carry permit in the same way we treat a driver's license. When you drive across state lines, you don't worry that your driver's license isn't honored, but you do respect the laws of the road in the host state. We need the same protection for concealed-carry permits. Concealed-carry permits should be recognized in all 50 states regardless of state of issue. Law-abiding citizens should be able to exercise their constitutional right regardless of what state they reside. The individual right to carry a firearm in defense of our life and our family should not end at any state line.
Rescind a slew of executive actions issued by President Obama, including ordering the Centers for Disease Control to research gun violence, incentivizing doctors to ask their patients about gun ownership, and encouraging states to share medical information with a National Background Check system. Rather than focus on the law-abiding, prosecute the criminals.
With the stroke of a pen, President Trump could erase Mr. Obama's executive order and allow our military personnel to carry firearms while on duty at military facilities, including recruitment centers. Our domestic military bases and facilities have been the site of terror attacks and mass killings of our active duty military. With today's increasing terrorism threat, it makes sense that soldiers should remain armed and on alert at our military bases. Getting rid of gun-free zones and making it easier for people to carry will deter criminals and reduce crime.
Appoint a Second Amendment friendly Supreme Court justice to replace the late Justice Antonin Scalia, who was the court's most avid supporter of the Second Amendment. It was Scalia who wrote the 2008 landmark District of Columbia v. Heller ruling recognizing the Second Amendment as a civil right. Neil Gorsuch, President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, appears to be a solid choice in protecting our Second Amendment rights to self-defense and to keep and bear arms, although he does not have a record of previous court decisions nor statements directly relating to the Second Amendment. Gorsuch's confirmation hearing is scheduled to begin March 20. The hearing may last three or four days. Upholding the Second Amendment is not a conservative or a liberal issue. It applies to all citizens. Protecting and restoring Second Amendment rights remains an ongoing process, but we see with Judge Gorsuch the possibility to install lasting protections for future and present gun owners.
Protecting and restoring Second Amendment rights remains an ongoing process. Will Trump follow through with a Second Amendment friendly agenda? We certainly hope so.

Columbus Day 'rage:' Roosevelt, Lincoln statues toppled in Portland

PORTLAND, Ore. (NewsNation Now) — Portland police say protesters overturned statues of former Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln and smashed the windows of several buildings on Sunday night.
The protests were held in a declaration of "rage" toward Columbus Day.
Protest organizers dubbed the event "Indigenous Peoples Day of Rage," in response to Monday's federal holiday named after 15th-century Italian explorer Christopher Columbus, a polarizing figure who Native American advocates have said spurred centuries of genocide against indigenous populations in the Americas.
The group threw chains around Roosevelt's statue, officially titled "Theodore Roosevelt, Rough Rider." The crowd pulled down the statue just before 9 p.m.
Amid nationwide calls to change Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day, a look at Pres. Trump's holiday proclamation
Historians have said Roosevelt expressed hostility toward Native Americans, once saying: "I don't go so far as to think that the only good Indians are dead Indians, but I believe nine out of every 10 are …"
The group later turned their attention toward Lincoln's statue, pulling it down about eight minutes later. The words "Stolen Land" were spray painted on the base of the monument, NewsNation affiliate KOIN reported.
Protesters also spray-painted "Dakota 38" on Lincoln's statue, referencing the 38 Dakota men Lincoln approved to have hanged after the men were involved in a violent conflict with white settlers in Minnesota.
The windows and glass doors to the Oregon Historical Society were also smashed.
Kerry Tymchuk, the historical society's executive director, told KOIN that there was a lot of broken glass at the building's entrance, but none of the exhibits inside were damaged.
Portland State University Campus Public Safety office was damaged as well.
Police later declared the event a riot and ordered the group to disperse. Police said anyone involved in "criminal behavior, including vandalism" was subject to arrest. It's unclear if any arrests were made.
The monuments are the latest statues to come down in a wave of removed monuments and protests sparked by the May 25 death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.

Author has written 2 stories for Romance, and Fantasy.
Ok about me. My name is Amanda and I hate it with a passion.
I write slash, abuse stories, action, and horror stories. I'm sorry if same gender sexual relations is a problem for you. If it is I will post in the beginning if the story contains any of that kind of content. . I don't want to offend anyone, but if i do please don't send me nasty emails. My little heart can't take that kind of critisism. Ah fuck, who am I kidding? If you don't like it don't read it. I could care less what people think about my writing. Unless you really like it or have something constructive to say.
Please let me know if you like my stories.
You know what I'm gonna do? Make a totally grusome horror story. Ugh, but I need ideas. Shite, anyway. So the stories I have up right now are:
Hawthorne's Fall: SLASH!! This is about a vampire named Hawthorne Trevisian. It will have a lot of male on male contact. maybe even male on female. But it's mostly just gay. lmao. (please don't pay any attention to my little bursts of random things that I find hilarious. If it makes no sense...that's ok, cause it probably doesn't make sense to me either. but if you need clarification don't hesitate to send me a message.) Ok now in the beginning Hawthorne is captured by slayers, (not to be confused with buffy stuff, I don't write fan fiction) The slayer council decides that since he was changed at such a young age (17) that he isn't responsible for his current state, so they send him to live with Benjamin Everson and his younger sister , Henna Everson, so that he can integrate himself back into society. But, hahahaha, the nice author has decided to make Ben's life a living hell with the addition of this feisty, angsty, little vampire. Please read and send me a review. and be honest, don't just tell me what I want to hear.
Speak No Evil: SLASH!! This one is a bit more normal than my other story. It's about a boy named Dominick Heart, He's 16 years old and has been living under the constant abuse of his father since his mother died when he was, eh I don't remember. but it's been like ten years I think. Anyway, After a jock, named Adam Devlin finds out he makes it his mission in life to save Dominick. Sweet huh? The two fall in love with each other, like in all good stories, but will it turn out for the better? Or will Dominick just give up on life all together. Please be honest in your reviews. I don't care if you think the story sucks, as long as you're honest and constuctive on why it sucks. I don't need hate mail.
ooh I have an upcoming story, It's called Assassin's promise. I have two versions, the SLASH one is going up on here. The other one my brother wants to read and he's a little homophobic so I have to keep it nice and heterosexual for him. lol. Poor kid. In a sick twisted way he was my inspiration for Adam. My Brother is a jock, he's 15, but he's one of the sweetest kids in the world. I wish all jocks could be like him. but anyway, yeah by brother isn't gay that's why I said sick and twisted. Holy shit, my cousin is right I need to stick to one topic at a time. ok so for upcoming stories I have:
Assassin's Promise: SLASH!! Ok this one is about four, well three at first, assassins who work for a corporation called Dark Knight. (This story was inspired by the anime show Weiss Kruez. I don't want it to be fan fiction, so I changed enough of it so as to where it's not exact, just similar.) The three meet the fourth member through a series of battles with the major bad guy, and eventually bring him to their side. The story doesn't start out with much slash but wait a few chapters and BAM!! (did I scare you, just kidding, lmao) But the main point of the story is that they try to kill the bad guy. It's a simple plot really, but it's funny.
Demons and Angels: No slash sorry! Its a work in progress. The title is subject to change as well. It's about a demon that convinces a pair of magically inclined twins to free him from his prison. The twins are under the divine protection of two angels. everything in the story is subject to change, but the basic plot is the same.
Second Sight: Mucho Slasho. LOL! Man The ideas just keep coming. This one is going to have a touch of horror to it. I hope, It will have some Slash in it too. The only problem is that I only have my characters planned out relationship wise and not really stroy plot wise. I hate my brain sometimes.
Untitled: Ok so this one has twins and a demon in it too, but It's going to be different than Demons and Angels. I promise. So it's about a demon who's soul was taken from his body and sealed into a human child. The basic plot is that the demon and the kid have to co-exist in one mind. Eventually things are going to happen and the demon, well it'll be a Slash story, and I'm not going to tell you anymore. Not because I don't know what's going to happen, because I do. Really, I do. . Anyway It's cause I want it to be a surprise.

Local Brooklyn Leaders Push New Program To Fight Anti-Semitic Violence
Brooklyn Leaders Push New Program To Fight Anti-Semitic Violence

By Rich Lamb, WCBS Newsradio 880
NEW YORK (WCBS 880) — After a surge of violent hate crimes in Brooklyn, a number of groups are joining together with elected officials and community partners to fight back.
Standing with Brooklyn Borough President Eric Adams, leaders from the Anti-Defamation League announced the "No Place for Hate Peer to Peer Program."
The ADL hopes the program will be able to teach tolerance in twice as many Brooklyn school beginning next year, focusing on students in Williamsburg, Crown Heights and Borough Park.
"We track acts of harassment and vandalism and violence and what's so alarming is that the situation has not improved this year. The severity of the incidents seems to be increasing in terms of their frequency, their aggressiveness and their physicality," said ADL's John Greenblatt.
Adams' office is a huge supporter of the program, citing the shocking number of anti-Semitic crimes in Brooklyn.
"The uptake in hate crimes in this borough is a blemish on this entire city, on this entire country and it's blemish that we're not going to live with," Adams said.
The most recent act of anti-Semitic vandalism involved a string of egg-throwing incidents in one area of Brooklyn over the weekend.

A comprehensive over hall involving research, design, and implementation of nonprofit's website that led to over 22% increase in conversions.
The original BfA website was dated, cluttered, difficult for users to navigate, and failed to convey Bibles for America's story. Although the company had a number of new offerings, none of them were being featured on the site due to the difficulty of updating the old site.
Users found it difficult to order multiple products at once because products required users to pass through separate order flows. It was also difficult for users to know what action to take next or when to return to the site.
Although over 50% of orders came through online orders through the website, Bibles for America had not invested much in developing its online presence. I was tasked with leading the internal team involved in this project.
Led internal team. Managed relationships with third party information architect and visual design team.
Hands-on UX research + design User and market research, Content inventory, Persona creation, Usability testing, Phone interviews, Mockups & wireframes.
We began with an exploration of exiting market research. In order to get a deeper understanding of our user needs, we conduct user surveys and interviewed key stakeholders within and outside of the organization. We also conducted a handful of usability tests to uncover the main usability issues with the original site.
Based on our research, we developed three main personas to direct the design of the site. We were also able to define in greater detail the specific goals of the redesign, which focused on showcasing our unique offerings, while building trust with each user through conveying Bibles for America's warm and friendly personality.
Mockups of the initial concepts for the main pages of the site were created in Balsamiq. Additionally, a detailed design guide was created to communicate our vision with third party teams hired during the process. These artifacts were used as guides for the visual design and development team brought on the help execute our vision.
The bookstore order process was reduced from a four page process to a two step process. Users are able to clearly see what they add to their order and proceed to a streamlined single-page checkout.
At the same time, users are now greeted by Bibles for America's warm, friendly, yet professional personality, and can easily learn more about the organization if they choose to do so. As a result, the level of trust and likelihood to order materials has increased greatly.
Following the launch of the new site, month over month orders increased by over 22% and year over year orders by over 44%.

As Einstein said "the best way to win roulette is to steal money from table when dealer is not looking". Well there are some strategies, by following them one can improve his chances of winning merely. Here are three famous strategies are mentioned that are most frequently used in online roulette. Progressive betting system, regressive betting system and level bet.
First comes, progressive betting system. Under system the player places bets double to the amount he places on previous bet in case he loses in online roulette. It works n the principle that if you have lost last bet you can lost the next one or there are more chances that you will lose it as well.
Second most commonly used betting strategy is regressive betting system. In this type of betting system , if players has lost last bet then the amount to be placed at next bet will be double. It works on the principle that once you have lost there are fewer chances that you will lose again. In other words chances of winning at online roulette next bet are more.
Well some times it is also said that online roulette or roulette is a game where past does not influence your present. Keeping in mind this thing one is able to use the strategy of level bets. Under this strategy no attention is pain on the fact that whether you have won or lost the last bet. Rather the amount placed on each bet is equal. This system is betting is deemed the best one system to be used in online roulette. There are also some other strategies but these are complex especially for beginners so they should avoid them as they can confuse them during the tournament.
