Bronson, a "vanned off" in the 10th at Kentucky Downs Saturday, is dead. Chief Steward Barbara Borden, as quoted in Paulick Report: "Past the wire, he injured his right hind leg catastrophically. They had to euthanize him." That makes two kills (Chattel being the other) within a couple of hours at a single racetrack. To all those who went through the turnstiles Saturday, to the others across the country who wagered on KD races, please look within, for the simple, uncomfortable truth is this: no patrons, no races; no races – no dead Chattel, no dead Bronson.
Yes, Robin – Bronson was only 4. Chattel, the other colt killed at KD the same day, was only 2.


I want to modify a BaseArray inside a function and return it. If I try to return the same BaseArray I get an error that it is inaccessible.
First of all the code, you show us is a bit weird.
If you only want to modify the BaseArray, since you pass a reference you just have to modify it without the need to return it.
Actually, the error comes from the fact that you are returning a new BaseArray. So you copy the existing BaseArray. And BasseArray doesn't have a Copy Constructor.
and finally, return a reference/pointer to this array.

Millions of people all over the US face very tough times right now; the unemployment ranges from the official 9.7% to the morely likely 16.4% or higher, and runs as high as 40% or more in parts of some states, like California, and in some metropolitan areas, particularly among certain groups like African American men and young people. The Obama administration and Federal Reserve chief are touting a recovery that began in August, but so far the country continues to shed jobs, though at a slower rate than before. From what I can tell, there appears to be little indication, despite the helpful suggestions and arguments of labor advocates and workers themselves, employed and unemployed, economists, and others, that those in charge are taking the longer-term issues of labor in this country to heart, except in an abstract sense. The financial industry and multinational corporations appear to be the chief concern of the nation's economic leaders, and our mainstream corporate media. We heard a lot of airy rhetoric about "Main Street," as tiresome a cliche as there is, during the campaign season and again early in the year, but Wall Street continues to hog all the air--and money--in the room, and the neoliberal agenda among the Democrats, and a corporatist right-wing agenda among the GOP, continues unabated. Perhaps one thing to do today is think about the present state of working people, especially working-class and poor people, in this country and globally, and consider ways that you can help to refocus the discussion to ensure that this country and its industries creating viable and sustainable jobs here, but also helping to create conditions for viable and sustainable jobs elsewhere.
The cantata sounds like a wonderful theatrical experience. I hope it will be recorded in some way, since it seems unlikely that many performance groups will be able to book it.Many successful musicians have made use of contemporary events and political trends; Mozart, Weil, Adams and Gershwin come immediately to mind. Even Obama's speeches have been set to music.
Very true about musicians using contemporary events or writing topical pieces. This composer's irony helped keep it from turning into agitprop, and because she chose not to alter the transcripts very much at all, it underlined how much the issue was both still very au courant and yet almost forgotten (we hear almost nothing these days about Gonzales, one of the worst AGs in recent history).
I've heard MLK Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech set to House music, and have heard Reagan's voice sampled in the past, but I haven't heard the Obama speeches set to music yet. I think I could do without those, for now, no matter who's done so.

Andrew Adonis's Brexit Bomb
All together now! Oh Andrew Adonis, oh Andrew Adonis. And so a new champion emerges from within establishment politics to smite the idiot Brexit strategy of Theresa May. Yes, it is true, I haven't much time for Adonis's elevated personage. Nor do I understand why so many mainstream politicians are taken with him, especially when he's shown a level of pig-headed ignorance that could match the idiot musings of any Tory minister. Nevertheless, his resignation from the National Infrastructure Commission is another blow to a PM and a government that needs all the good news it can grasp at.
His departure letter doesn't make good reading for the Tories. "The worst piece of legislation of my lifetime ...", "Brexit is a populist, nationalist spasm worth of Donald Trump ...", "... rupturing Britain's key trading and political alliances ...". And, in my view the killer passage:
The Government is hurtling toward the EU's emergency exit with no credible plan for the future of British trade and European co-operation, all the while ignoring - beyond soundbites and inadequate programmes - the crises of housing, education, the NHS, and social and regional inequality which are undermining the fabric of our nation and feeding the populist surge.
Ouch. True to form, the man who appointed Adonis to the NIC, George Osborne, said he was sorry to seem him go, especially as he commanded bipartisan respect. Politics people with memories longer than your average goldfish may recall Osborne invited him to head the commission while he was a sitting Labour peer to add to Jeremy Corbyn's woes during his first 20 months of office. By praising him now, Osborne stirs the permanent crisis the Conservative Party is stewing in.
Needless to say, Adonis is right about Brexit and the government's approach to it. As argued on a number of occasions here, Theresa May's approach to leaving the EU has been driven almost entirely by short-term Tory party interests. In her full imperial pomp prior to the election it was hard Brexit all the way as a means of shoring up her declining coalition. After the devastation that near death experience wrought, so the twists and turns of Tory infighting is pointing toward a soft Brexit in all but name. This itself is not a foregone conclusion, but the Parliamentary arithmetic is tending in this direction too.
However, it is worth noting that soft Brexit or staying within the EU are not panaceas. While millions, particularly the young, identify their interests with it, one should not be about sewing illusions in what the EU is and represents. It is a largely unaccountable bureaucracy that has grown alongside the deepening of the single market. It enforces austerity in Greece, has played a thoroughly disreputable role in several other countries, including major EU nations like Italy and Spain, and is the battering ram for privatisation across the continent - ironically, thanks to the neoliberal lobbying and cajoling British governments lobbied for over the course of decades. Nor, must we remember, did the EU prevent (nor could it) the devastating austerity measures our pro-EU heroes, Dave and Osborne, undertook during their six years in charge. Nevertheless, despite the EU's problems and limitations the integration of markets, cultures and peoples is a profoundly progressive development. The lapse into nationalism, the "spasm" as Adonis puts it, is regressive and, as noted before the referendum, has occasioned a recrudescence of the rank racist excreta mainstream politics believed was long buried.
What to do? Equally illusory is the hope someone's going to sweep in and stop Brexit. The latest repository of this fantasy being our friend Emmanuel Macron - presumably after he's finished deporting refugees and tearing up the employment rights of French workers. Neither is there going to be a second referendum. No amount of dodgy financial issues (which afflicted the Remain just as much as the Leave campaigns) nor Russian botnet claims are going to shift things. Unless the polls start reporting double digit leads very soon for abandoning Brexit, you can forget it. Yet all is not lost. There is one politically realistic repository for salvaging and preserving something of the positives of the last 40-odd years. Midway through his letter, Andrew Adonis pauses to note "What Britain needs is a radically reforming government in the tradition of Attlee ...". There is such a government-in-waiting that favours a soft Brexit, and that is Jeremy Corbyn's Labour Party.
Labels: Brexit, Centrists, Conservatives, European Union, Labour
I can see the Tories taking on more aspects of the American right going into 2018. I expect the continued use of top-down culture-war narratives (snowflake university students, blue passports) and the intensification of establishment panic about Russia and social media 'undermining our societies', whatever that means.
As a comrade put it over on the Facebook page:
" Adonis represents everything I most hate about politics in this country. Self interest at its worst.
Never elected as a Member of Parliament he gets a peerage via the disgusting patronage system having jumped ship from the Lib Dems to Blairs New Labour project. In other words he finds himself in a position of power never once having been voted into it by the citizenry. He then supports this austerity imposing Tory Government by accepting the infrastructure posting.
I would say how can anyone know what they are voting for, but in his case that would be entirely inappropriate. He is the embodiment of the establishment servant influencing no matter who is voted for by the electorate. You and I can vote for whomever we wish but we get Adonis no matter what.....but of course he believes he is acting in our best interests protecting us from our mistakes. Good of him.
He says he believes in the parties working together. For this read complete lack of choice for the electorate. A continuation of the New Labour or Tory flavours of the same sweet.
A healthy democracy depends upon real choice and differences. Just because you happen to agree with him on the EU does not mean he and those like him deserve any publicity at all."

Commenting on the manufacturing output figures for April, published today by the ONS, David Kern, Chief Economist at the British Chambers of Commerce (BCC), said:"The fall in manufacturing output is not surprising given ongoing problems in the eurozone and the UK's tough deficit-cutting programme. It is important to avoid pessimism as many firms have shown resilience in the face of these obstacles, and have reserved their skills base during the recession. However, the immediate outlook is difficult. Our most recent forecast has indicated nil growth in manufacturing output this year and on the basis of this figure there is a risk that the sector will record a small decline in 2012.

We've Got This: All About Women 2022
All About Women 2022 • 1h 10m
Debra Keenahan, Elly-May Barnes & Eliza Hull
Moderated by Lisa Cox
How do two parents who are blind take their children to the park? How is a mother with dwarfism treated when she walks her child down the street? How do Deaf parents know when their baby cries in the night? These are the challenging and rewarding highs and lows of parenting with a disability.
When writer and musician Eliza Hull was pregnant with her first child, like most parents-to-be she was excited and nervous. But as a person with a disability, societal stigma was an added complexity. We've Got This, a new major anthology by parents with disabilities, features twenty-five parents who identify as Deaf, disabled or chronically ill.
To celebrate this revelatory book, three mothers - Eliza Hull, Elly-May Barnes, and Debra Keenahan - gather to share the joy and triumph - and the difficulties - of their lived experience. Amongst the challenges of microaggression, judgements and discrimination, these brilliant women will honour the incredible, empowering journey of having kids.

HomeZ_ForumForum: How Would You Change Public Education in The U.S.?
Forum: How Would You Change Public Education in The U.S.?
January 13, 2014 JoshuaPundit Z_Forum 5
Every week on Monday morning , the Council and our invited guests weigh in at the Watcher's Forum, short takes on a major issue of the day, the culture, or daily living. This week's question:How Would You Change Public Education in The U.S.?
The Independent Sentinel: I don't like the idea of paying for two public school systems running alongside one another but public education needs competition. The union leaders block change and progress if they think it in any way inhibits their goals, which do not include the children except as an after-thought.
I do think private education, such as privately-funded Charter Schools, can work. I don't mind vouchers in poor areas where the schools are failing.
Common Core could have been the answer. Instead it's an abomination. The testing now tied into it will nationalize education. The leftists – and I do mean hard-left – have already taken advantage and plugged their propaganda into the Core-Aligned curricula. There are too many tests and, while I agree that more objective measures of teacher performance are needed, these standardized tests aren't it.
GrEaT sAtAn"S gIrLfRiEnD: In no partic order – totally reshape the Dept of Edu to nigh inexistence, reshape teacher unions, implement text book reform for grade school with an asset kicking update to the famous 1879 version of the McGuffey Readers. The American History courses would be heavily influenced by the incredible "How America Got It Right".
College Edu would get a serious kick at the campus bookstore – no more $3.00 pencils etc or Professors changing the foreward in $200 books they wrote and require every semester. A general jihad on campus bookstores and college tuition.
And this would prob never work – yet tenured teachers would have swear an oath of allegiance in public to Great Satan and her constitution a lot like the military.
The Colossus of Rhodey: I am a big proponent of a system I saw on one of John Stossel's specials some years back. It described how in some countries, like Belgium, public monies for education (per pupil) follow the student wherever he/she may decide to go — public or private school. If the latter costs more than what is provided, then the family must provide the extra. This system serves to make all schools compete for students. If schools cannot attract students, they will eventually shut down.
One of the problems with implementing such system here in the US is that "advocates" will complain that some parents (usually poor and/or minority) "won't know" where to best to send their child(ren) for a variety of reasons (most usually lame). Since these parents "can't" decide, such a system would be "unfair." (If you doubt me on this, just read some of the liberal bloggers and commenters on this issue here in my home state of Delaware, which has a statewide school choice and charter system in place.) Nevertheless, such a system would enable children (and parents) to choose schools which seek, among many other things, to logically evade the insane Orwellian doublespeak that our federal Dept. of Education's Civil Rights Division is implementing across the land. If you ask parents and teachers what their number one concern is about their schools, discipline is usually at the top, and always in the top three. This latest insanity from the feds will only exacerbate these concerns, making the clamor for more options and choice all the louder.
The Glittering Eye: Tough question. I look forward to the responses from the several educators who are members of the Council.
Before considering what should be done, I think we need to consider the challenges. There are many but I want to look at just two.
First, the percentage of on-time graduations from high school in our large cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago seems to have plateaued at around 50%. That's not a new phenomenon. It's been the case since the 1950s.
Second, Gammon's Law or as it's also called "the Law of Bureaucratic Displacement" Here's how Max Gammon, the British physician who first identified the phenomenon described it:
In his words, in "a bureaucratic system … increase in expenditure will be matched by fall in production …." Such systems will act rather like 'black holes' in the economic universe, simultaneously sucking in resources, and shrinking in terms of 'emitted' production.
In other words, additional spending will not solve the problems with our system of public education because any resource thrown at it will simply be absorbed. That's the problem with our healthcare system as well.
Let's return to the first problem. I think it's obvious that a significant number of young people see no value in their educations. Considering the slow growth in new jobs available for young people, they're probably correct in that assessment. That's a problem that can't be solved just by reforming the educational system but solving would probably be helpful in addressing the public educational system's other problems.
The second problem can only be solved by structural change. Structural changes necessary include eliminating Ed schools or, at the very least, changing the relationship between Ed schools and the public school system, elimination of tenure, drastic reduction in school bureaucracies, ending the unionization of public school teachers, and, if Illinois is any gauge, limiting the total compensation of school administrators to a level that is affordable by the communities they are presumed to serve.
Said another way, the problems of the public education system are not solvable.
Well, there you have it.
Make sure to tune in every Monday for the Watcher's Forum. And remember, every Wednesday, the Council has its weekly contest with the members nominating two posts each, one written by themselves and one written by someone from outside the group for consideration by the whole Council. The votes are cast by the Council, and the results are posted on Friday morning.
It's a weekly magazine of some of the best stuff written in the blogosphere, and you won't want to miss it.
And don't forget to like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter..'cause we're cool like that, y'know?

VU researcher championing women in sport
Associate Professor Clare Hanlon is representing Australia and VU as a keynote speaker at the 18th International Association of Physical Education and Sport for Girls and Women World Congress in Miami.
With one of VU's strategic focus areas to encourage females as leaders – in this case sport – participation in the event is further strengthening our position as leaders in sport.
"I'm looking forward to showcasing global research that is leading the way to change stereotypes and practices, to encourage females as leaders and participants in sport", Dr Hanlon said.
Dr Hanlon's presentation is titled 'The top-down approach to increase the number of females in sport: is this the best approach?'
Dr Hanlon has over 25 years' experience in sport and specialises as an industry adviser, researcher and teacher in facilitating greater female participation in sport and physical activity. In 2016, she received the Vice-Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Programs that Enhance Learning.
Her research at VU's Institute of Sport, Exercise and Active Living (ISEAL) includes the recent study Active Wear: Forecasting future trends in female consumer behaviour that indicated the trend of active wear encourages physical activity and relates to Australia's growing health consciousness.
The congress, running from 17-21 May, and hosted by Barry University, has the theme 'Women and Girls in Sport – Research to Action'.
Examples of topics include:
encouraging females in sport
group exercise as an adjunct treatment for trauma
making sport safer
disrupting the norms and increasing self-belief in girls and women.

NESREA to train police to promote environmental sanitation
April 30, 2016 Admin News 2
Abuja – The National Environmental Standards and Regulations Enforcement Agency (NESREA) is planning to train Nigerian Police Force personnel to promote environmental activities across the country.
The Director-General of the agency, Dr Lawrence Anukam, made the plan known to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Abuja on Saturday.
Anukam said the training would enhance environmental health and advance the agency`s service delivery.
He also said that the training would ease the activities of the agency toward effective operation.
According to him, the agency has a lot to do with the police in the area of enforcement because both agencies are involved in inspection.
"When the agency is going to seal an organisation which violates environmental laws the police always follow and there are some inspections we do in which we need to go with police.
"So we feel that police also should participate in our training to enable them to know more of our activities and the only way to make it effective is to carry them along.
"For that reason, we decided to develop a training programme, we have provided a training curriculum at the three levels of the police, the junior, the middle and the higher cadre.
"Incidentally, we are yet to fully carry out any of these trainings, I believe it will be a very good development. ''
He noted that the new Inspector-General of the police recently expressed commitment toward the partnership with NESREA which would boost its activities.
Anukam said the agency`s department responsible for the training had already been communicating with the Education Training Department of the police.
He added that the agency's recent seminar attended by all commandants in police colleges was to introduce them to the activities and enlighten the police on the benefits of the training.
"We will extend the programme to both the state and local levels because we want to make sure that nobody is left out. We are eager to make sure that the programme progresses.
Anukam also said the agency would sensitise the judiciary sector to environmental activities in its efforts to promote environmental sanitation.
" The judiciary is the one that interprets the law and metes out the punishment for violators. The judiciary needs to appreciate and be part of environmental issues as well as to achieve the set goals.
"We will also sensitise other government agencies to the importance of promoting and keeping our environment clean to protect the lives of the people,'' he said.
Anukam said that there was a need for proper planning, capacity building and sensitisation for different sectors of government to achieve desired goals.
He said the sensitisation programme, which was mandatory for all, was in line with the UN programme on environment.
The director general urged Nigerians to support the government in the promotion of the environmental sanitation by keeping the environment clean. (NAN)

You are about to start planning the happiest most romantic day of your life. Isn't it wonderful to know that you have a whole island of love just waiting to share your happiness with you?
In Cyprus a wedding is a reason for everyone to celebrate and this love of romance is certainly contagious!
Getting married in Limassol, the most cosmopolitan area of Cyprus, is easy and every care is taken to make sure that your special day runs smoothly and effortlessly. You may choose to let your tour operator deal with all the arrangements; you may work directly with your hotel or even decide to make all the arrangements yourself. Whatever you decide, there is very little red tape to stand in the way, and every decision is just a simple step away. Couples who intend to get married are required to personally apply for a wedding license only after their arrival to Cyprus, to the Marriage officer at the Municipality of their choice. This is a very easy and quick procedure that leaves you plenty of time to concentrate on your own special touches and enjoy the days leading up to the ceremony.
With 330 days of sunshine each year and sunsets straight from a picture postcard, the weather is certainly one thing that you won't need to worry about.
The choice of reception venues on offer is also vast and varied. Depending on the numbers involved you can opt for a full blown occasion for over a hundred guests or a simple and intimate affair. Most hotels have large banqueting suites to cater for bigger groups and can organise everything right down to the cake. Many couples however choose to take advantage of the glorious weather and hold their reception in romantic settings outdoors. For something really different and perhaps a little decadent you could even consider holding a reception on board a yacht. This is a unique and spectacular way for small parties to completely get away from the crowds and spend the day like a Hollywood star in total luxury clear waters of the Mediterranean.
One final thing to think about before you decide on your wedding plans is the honeymoon. Being such a compact and varied island also means that if you choose to, you can have a complete change of scenery after your wedding day. Perhaps heading off for a few days in the tranquillity of a pretty mountain village, or treating yourself to some pampering in one of the many luxury spa hotels. Your honeymoon can be as diverse as spending the morning breakfasting on the beach and ending the afternoon with a glass of wine on the ski slopes of the Troodos mountains. You may even decide to take a short cruise to nearby destinations. The dream is yours and the possibilities are endless!
Having the people you love around you to share in your happiness is always a top priority. With many hotels and airlines offering special rates for large parties it's easy to bring the whole family to Cyprus.
Limassol has something for everyone. Much more than a sun and sea destination, Limassol possesses a copious range of activities and pastimes for all. From the sport enthusiasts, culture lovers, nature lovers, entertainment and leisure seekers to those who wish to be pampered at the luxurious spa centres.
Τhe bustling nightlife with its clubs, bars, and discothèques elevate the spirit. A cornucopia of restaurants, taverns and cafes, many with outdoor seating in beautiful settings, form a culinary extravaganza with tastes of local and international cuisines.
shops and markets. The centre of the island's winemaking region, Lemesos is flanked by two impressive archaeo-logical sites, the city-kingdoms of Amathous and Kourion.
This is the most special day of your life, so it's important that it feels that way. You've probably been dreaming of it for months, maybe even years, planning each detail from the flowers to the photos. Making your day unique is important in Limassol where every care is taken to make your day as close to your ideal as possible.
There are plenty of options when marrying in Limassol. Do you want a civil ceremony or are you looking for a more traditional religious ceremony? The choice is yours.
Thinking about the setting you would like for your wedding is an important first step. If you are opting for a civil ceremony perhaps one of the elegantly designed town halls might be your choice. After the wedding couples can then take advantage of beautiful settings amidst the many archaeological sites which make the perfect background to wedding photographs. In Limassol couples can follow the ceremony with photographs in the dramatic setting of Limassol Castle, the Municipal Gardens or even on the beach.
Many hotels now have their own wedding chapels perfectly situated to have blue skies and sea as their back drop. One of the benefits of letting a hotel take care of everything is that it leaves you totally free to enjoy the sunshine before the big day. Most hotels offer a room upgrade for honeymoon couples and special rates for your guests. You will also receive a few little extra luxuries such as champagne and flowers in your room just to make you feel even more special.
Marrying in Cyprus is relatively easy, as the legal formalities are simple and similar to those required in your own country.
Prior to the wedding you and your partner will need to visit the municipal offices of the town in which your wedding will take place in order to make your application for a marriage license.
Evidence of Freedom to Marry or equivalent document from your country.
It is advisable to both consult and send copies of the above documents in advance to either the Municipality or to your Travel Agent, Wedding Planner or religious Wedding Coordinator, as appropriate, to ensure that you have all the necessary documentation in place, before arriving on the island for your wedding. Please remember that the original documents will still be required by the Municipality. Based on your nationality and/or residency, additional pre/post wedding procedures may apply.
Marriage with Notice: After 15 calendar days (not including the application date and the wedding day) and within 3 months.
Marriage by Special License: From the day of the application and within 15 calendar days.
If you have booked your wedding through a local travel agent, one of the major tour operators or a wedding planner, they will be able to advise you on the paperwork required and will be available to accompany you to the Municipal offices to obtain your license.
All wedding ceremonies are carried out in English but a translator of your language can be made available upon request. At the end of the ceremony you are given a Certificate of Marriage signed by you and your partner, two adult witnesses and the Marriage Officer.

Do you know what you did the last time you worked out your [fill in body part]? If you are not keeping a journal, then measuring your results (and your progress) is a guessing game. To stay in this game over the long haul, tracking your stats will help. If you don't, you may find yourself doing the same things over and over again. If you want to stay the same, keep doing the same things. If you want to progress and get into the best shape of your life, you need to up the intensity. Depending on your goals this may mean adding weights or repetitions, running an extra mile, or doing something new. Find a way to push yourself a little harder. Measure it, write it, and then compare it.

F.I.L.M. of the Week (August 27, 2010)
Comedy Week kicks off here on the "F.I.L.M. of the Week" series with a look at "Shopgirl," an inspiredly funny adaptation of Steve Martin's novella that is also tinged with a fair amount of melancholic reflection. The movie takes a look at an unassuming girl entering the urban jungle of Los Angeles to find herself confronted with a choice between two very different relationships with two polar opposite men.
Mirabelle (Claire Danes) didn't expect much when she moved from Vermont to LA and began working the glove counter at Saks. Yet suddenly, she is faced with some very big problems, namely love. Unsure of what it is, how to find it, or how to recognize it, she sits back passively waiting for it to come to her.
Sure enough it does come, although in two very different forms. First, she meets Jeremy (Jason Schwartzman). He's a bumbling fool with no set of social skills, but he does have the best of intentions and all of his heart to offer Mirabelle.
Second, she meets Ray Porter (Steve Martin). Unlike Jeremy, he's a smooth operator who always does things with class. Despite being music older than Mirabelle, they both find themselves falling for each other. He's a very wealthy entrepreneur with all of his wallet to share with her, buying her first fitted dress. Yet he often feels a little too distant, hiding away parts of himself.
"Shopgirl" is everything a romantic comedy should be, scorning formula to provide a thought-provoking rumination on love in the modern world. In the context of these two relationships, Mirabelle is searching for love although unsure of what shape or form it will take. The movie doesn't hold back and is willing to delve deep into the psychological ruin of not finding love. But it's precisely because it goes there that there's just an irresistible charm about this movie. Even when the going gets rough for Mirabelle, we still feel light as a feather.

The LEA repealed the Municipal and School Board Election Codes and requires all elections to follow uniform election procedures for the call, conduct, and canvass of all elections. The LEA established two new statewide elections:
1. Regular Local Election: the biennial local election at which local governing body members are elected pursuant to the provisions of the LEA held every November of odd-numbers years.
2. Municipal Officer's Election: the local governing body and any elective executive and judicial officers of a municipality held every March of even-numbered years.

Trump fires FBI Director Comey, prompting questions about Russia investigation
by Alex Hollings May 10, 2017
President Donald Trump set off a chain reaction throughout Washington on Tuesday, after making the sudden announcement that he had fired FBI Director James Comey.
As the head of the FBI, Comey had been leading the investigation into potential ties between Trump's campaign staff in the 2016 Presidential election and officials within the Russian government believed to have taken part in a concerted effort to help the president win the election.
According to the White House, Comey was fired over his mishandling of the Hillary Clinton email scandal, another prominent issue believed to have factored into Trump's victory over the one-time front-runner, Clinton. Though this claim has prompted accusations that the termination was actually a part of a cover-up effort intended to hinder the FBI's probe into Russian collusion, as Trump had previously praised Comey for his handling of the Clinton email scandal both in person and in the press.
"Trump praised him for the work on the email investigation, so that's not it," said Austin Berglas, a former FBI supervisory agent on hacking cases. "I think he realized the extent of the Russia investigation under way and moved him out. To me, that's the only logical explanation right now."
Comey publicly announced that the Clinton email investigation should be closed in July of 2016, well before the election actually took place, but then retracted that statement and announced the re-opening of the case only 11 days before the nation was set to vote. The new investigation was prompted by the discovery of e-mails that had been backed up on a personal computer, and although it ultimately proved fruitless, the reopening of the investigation is believed to have had a negative effect on Clinton's chances at winning the vote.
Democrats now claim that terminating Comey over his actions last November seems like a suspicious bit of timing, as the investigation into Trump's own potential legal issues is now underway and the Clinton email scandal is a relative moot point.
The president took to Twitter last week to voice his frustrations over Comey, calling him the "best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton.

"FBI Director Comey was the best thing that ever happened to Hillary Clinton in that he gave her a free pass for many bad deeds!" he wrote on Twitter. "The phony Trump/Russia story was an excuse used by the Democrats as justification for losing the election. Perhaps Trump just ran a great campaign?"
In a letter hand delivered to Comey's office by Trump's former body-guard, Keith Schiller, President Trump explains that the decision to terminate Comey came as a result of a memo sent to him by the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein and endorsed by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
"While I greatly appreciate you informing me, on three separate occasions, that I am not under investigation, I nevertheless concur with the judgment of the Department of Justice that you are not able to effectively lead the Bureau." The letter reads.
Rosenstein's letter cites Comey's choice to announce a close to the investigation in July, claiming that it was never within his power to dictate such a closure and should have fallen within the purview of federal prosecutors, as well as his announcement to reopen the investigation just prior to the election, explaining that "the goal of a federal criminal investigation is not to announce our thoughts at a press conference."
The letter goes on to cite prominent officials within the Department of Justice.
"Perhaps most troubling… is the precedent set by this departure from the Deparment's widely-respected, non-partisan traditions," an included quote from former Deputy Attorney General Donald Ayer read.
Despite claiming that Trump terminated Comey to protect the non-partisan reputation of the FBI, many in the nation's capital remain unconvinced, and are now calling for the appointment of a special prosecutor to head the investigation into Russian collusion independent from presidential oversight – as it will be the White House that appoints a new FBI director, amounting to a notable conflict of interest.
"This is Nixonian," Pennsylvania Democratic Sen. Bob Casey said in a statement. "Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein must immediately appoint a special counsel to continue the Trump/Russia investigation."

"We are careening ever closer to a Constitutional crisis, and this development only underscores why we must appoint a special prosecutor to fully investigate any dealings the Trump campaign or administration had with Russia," said Sen. Ed Markey, a Massachusetts Democrat, in a statement.
However, the FBI itself continues to operate, and the investigation into Trump is certainly ongoing despite cutting the head off the snake, leaving many Republicans satisfied that the investigation will continue with little hindrance without the involvement of Comey's oversight.

Celestial Dragon Up In The Mud
Courtesy of www.kendrickracingstables.com.au
DARBY Racing and Kendrick Racing could have their first Magic Millions Classic 2YO runner after debutant Celestial Dragon's impressive win on a soggy Doomben.
The Hidden Dragon two-year-old, ridden by Tim Bell, led all the way in the QTIS 2YO (1100m) on Saturday, November 30.
"He's Magic Millions bound,'' trainer Stuart Kendrick said after the win.
"At this stage he'll start again in three weeks at Doomben in another $50,000 QTIS race and then it will be three weeks into the Magic Millions,'' he said.
"If he wins in three weeks he'll definitely be in the Magic Millions field. He's probably done enough to make the field now."
Celestial Dragon had no official trial form before the race but had won two jump-outs in good style.
The heavy track was Kendrick's only real query leading into the race.
"I was a bit concerned about how he'd handle the wet track. He's such a big striding horse.
"Tim Bell said after the race he didn't feel that he handled it at all but was just too good them. He said she should improve lengths on the dry."
Celestial Dragon, a bargain buy at a Magic Millions sale earlier this year, was syndicated by Darby Racing, which is enjoying a stellar run of results in Queensland and New South Wales in recent weeks.
Kendrick Racing also saddled up a couple of placings at the Doomben meeting.
Doubtfilly added another black-type placing to her resume when she flashed home late for a close-up third in a listed Fillies and Mares Plate (1200m).
She was unlucky not to win the race, getting back from an awkward gate and copping a buffeting near the 600m before winding up late despite top-weight of 58.5kg.
Pretty Gully then finished third in the final race of the afternoon in a Class 6 (1350m).

The objective of this study was to investigate the anxiolytic effects of the essential oil (EO) of Citrus aurantium L. in patients experiencing crack withdrawal. This was developed with internal users in therapeutic communities in Paraíba, Brazil. The test population consisted of 51 volunteers, subdivided into three groups. To elicit anxiety, the Simulated Public Speaking (SPS) method was used. Physiological measures were assessed at specific phases during the experiment using appropriate equipment. Psychological measures of anxiety were assessed using the Trait-State Anxiety Inventory (IDATE) and the Analog Smoke Scale (HAS). EO was administered by nebulization. The experiment was developed in individual sessions and consolidated to four phases. The results demonstrated that the test subjects in the groups that were given the EO maintained controlled anxiety levels during SPS, when compared to the Control Group (no treatment). Subjects who used the EO also maintained levels of "discomfort" and "cognitive impairment" during SPS. It was concluded that individuals who are experiencing internal crack cocaine withdrawal present high anxiety traits and that nebulization of the EO of Citrus aurantium L. provided an acute anxiolytic effect in crack cocaine users exposed to SPS.

Armenia-Turkey Manual
Even if there are no diplomatic relations and the land border remains closed, there are numerous persons and institutions in Armenia and in Turkey working on bilateral relations and related issues. Who are these persons and institutions, what are their projects and publications and in what areas are they actively working? This manual is meant to provide answers to these questions through a user-friendly overview introducing key people and key institutions.

Reinventing Georgia: The story of a Libertarian Revolution
This report is about a remarkable man, a south east European country in a time of transition, and the power and influence of a seductive ideology. The man is Kakha Bendukize, a philosopher-entrepreneur and one of the most interesting thinkers in today's post-Soviet world; the country is Georgia, a small republic of 4 million people in the South Caucasus, eager to become a global model; and the ideology is libertarianism, the belief that people will be freer and more prosperous if government intervention in people's economic choices is minimised.
Armenia-Turkey: A Difficult Rapprochement
No single topic poisons relations between Turks and Armenians more than the 1915 destruction of the Armenian communities of Anatolia, and the question of whether it constituted genocide. For Turkey, the fight against genocide recognition on the international stage has been a central goal of foreign policy. For Armenians, the genocide and the resulting loss of a traditional homeland is a defining element of their national identity. This ESI Great Debate section looks at some of the arguments, people and issues that have most shaped this debate. It is a debate that matters enormously for both societies.
It is ESI's conviction that this Great Debate is one of the most important to take place in post-cold war Germany. It bridges the border between foreign and domestic policy, linking arguments about the integration of German Turks in Berlin with those about the integration of Turkey in a wider Europe. As such, it offers enormous challenges for Turkish citizens who want to keep the debate on accession focused on traditional foreign and economic policy issues; it also offers great opportunities for populists. This cannot be helped, however; nor can it be an argument against engaging robustly with the many complex issues at stake.


The mission of the Association for Conservation of National Treasures (ACNT) is to improve and popularize the repair and restoration techniques and to contribute to the development of these techniques in Japan, by improving repair and restoration techniques for the National Treasure and Cultural Properties, exchanging associated knowledge, and by promoting collaboration and cooperation among the members, domestic and foreign workshops.

For the entire tone and atmosphere, we used the motif of "Rising Sun," which is the symbol in the Japanese national flag, to sublime the image of "National Treasures". The dusky-red color is used to emphasize the "tradition," and the overlapping tweezers express "precise work" and "modernity." The letters "The Association for Conservation of National Treasures" and the abbreviation "ACNT" are placed beside it so that even the foreigners can easily recognize it.

Body found in search for missing fisherman
Roger Wheat was last seen on Tuesday fishing on the River Dove
Emergency services and search teams at Ellastone bridge earlier this week
The search for a missing Nuneaton granddad has been called off – after police found a body.
Roger Wheat has not been seen since Tuesday, January 7 when he was fishing on the River Dove in Staffordshire at Ellastone.
There was a huge response after police launched an appeal to find the dad-of-two, from the Higham Lane area of Nuneaton .
Officers have thanked everyone who helped during the search.
Mr Wheat's family have been informed.
Police statement
A spokesman for Staffordshire Police said: "Officers from Staffordshire Police have called off the search for missing person Roger Wheat, who was last seen in Ellastone on Tuesday (7 January).
"Sadly, the body of a man, believed to be 79-year-old Roger, was found this afternoon (10 January) during a search of the River Dove.
"His family have been informed and our thoughts are with them at this difficult time.
"We would like to thank colleagues, partner agencies and the public for their assistance and support during the search.
"Formal identification will take place in due course. Detectives do not believe there are any suspicious circumstances and a report will be prepared for HM Coroner."


No matter what type of trust you've developed during estate planning, administration of it will be managed by the designated trustee. Like estate administration, the process includes gathering assets, paying creditors and taxes, then distributing all property. At the Meurer Law Offices, we've helped clients set up trusts, as well as guided numerous trustees through the administrative process.
In comparison to an estate subject to probate, trust administration is typically a faster and more private matter since it does not involve probate through the court system. It's also a much less expensive way to distribute your assets to beneficiaries, whereas probate proceedings require the payment of executor compensation and legal fees based on a flat percentage rate.
Trust administration isn't a perfect process. If your heirs dispute the distribution of assets, the lack of court involvement means there is no supervision or assistance in resolving the matter. Many times, these situations end up in court anyway, a scenario that most people setting up trusts were trying to avoid in the first place. Another downside is that creditors have up to one year to make a claim against your estate, while they're only allowed 4 months on estates being probated.
Whether you're a trustee or wish to set up a trust, it's important to understand the trust administration process. Our attorneys at the Meurer Law Offices can walk you through everything you need to know and help with all documents and details.

What is a RAM?
It is the rate in cycles per second (measured in hertz) or the frequency of the clock in any synchronous circuit. In general, many people think a higher clock speed means a faster processor, but other factors are also come into to picture.
Clock speed is the rate at which a processor can complete a processing cycle. It is typically measured in megahertz or gigahertz. One megahertz is equal to one million cycles per second, while one gigahertz equals one billion cycles per second.
The clock speed – also known as clock rate – indicates how fast the CPU can run. This is measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (gHz) and corresponds with how many instruction cycles the CPU can deal with in a second. A 2 gHz CPU performs two billion cycles a second.
The clock speed of computers is usually measured in megahertz (MHz) or gigahertz (GHz). One megahertz equals one million ticks per second, and one gigahertz equals one billion ticks per second. You can use clock speed as a rough measurement of how fast a computer is.

Computer Science Class 9 Englis…
Clock speed is defined as that speed at which a processor can complete a processing cycle. … Clock speed is generally measured in megahertz or gigahertz. 2. The faster the speed of clock, the more instructions the CPU can execute per second. 3.
A computer's processor clock speed determines how quickly the central processing unit (CPU) can retrieve and interpret instructions. This helps your computer complete more tasks by getting them done faster. Clock speeds are measured in gigahertz (GHz), with a higher number equating to higher clock speed.
Clock speed is also referred to as clock rate, PC frequency and CPU frequency. This is measured in gigahertz, which refers to billions of pulses per second and is abbreviated as GHz. A PC's clock speed is an indicator of its performance and how rapidly a CPU can process data (move individual bits).
In computers, the clock cycle is the amount of time between two pulses of an oscillator. … The clock cycle helps in determining the speed of the CPU, as it is considered the basic unit of measuring how fast an instruction can be executed by the computer processor. A clock cycle is also known as a clock tick.
Clock speed is the number of pulses the central processing unit's (CPU) clock generates per second. It is measured in hertz .
In general, the clock refers to a microchip that regulates the timing and speed of all computer functions. … The speed of a computer processor is measured in clock speed, for example, 1 MHz is one million cycles, or vibrations, a second. 2 GHz is two billion cycles, or vibrations, a second.

Summary. In short, an average processor with a decent all rounded performance that is suitable for gaming and intermediate level of professional work should have a base clock speed of around 3.0 GHz with Turbo boost of about 4.0 GHz.
The most fundamental measurement of a processor's quickness is its clock speed, which is usually represented as a gigahertz value. Today's fastest mobile processors have clock speeds ranging from 1.8 GHz to 2.2 GHz, though anything above 1 GHz should be acceptable.
RAM speed is measured in Megahertz (MHz), millions of cycles per second so that it can be compared to your processor's clock speed. For Dell desktops and laptops, memory speed can range from the standard 1333 MHz all the way up to speeds of 2133 MHz.
In a computer, clock speed refers to the number of pulses per second generated by an oscillator that sets the tempo for the processor. Clock speed is usually measured in MHz (megahertz, or millions of pulses per second) or GHz (gigahertz, or billions of pulses per second).
What is average speed? Average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance that something has traveled by the total amount of time it took it to travel that distance. Speed is how fast something is going at a particular moment.
Random access memory (RAM) is a computer's short-term memory, which it uses to handle all active tasks and apps. None of your programs, files, games, or streams would work without RAM. Here, we'll explain exactly what RAM is, what RAM means, and why it's so important.

The Hemoglobin A1c home test kits is only gradually becoming popular among type I diabetics. However, there is the choice of testing A1c at home, during the period between appointments with the medical practitioner.
Every A1c home test kits helps you to get ready a tiny drop of blood as the blood sample at home. This blood sample is similar to that used for a glucose meter. Whether you obtain instant results at home or you get the blood sample to be analyzed in a lab depends on the kind of test kit you have bought.
A1CNow SELFCHECK is a product of Bayer Healthcare. It is sold in main drugstores. Early reports indicate the results given are almost the same as those from analysis at the labs. According to Bayer, when comparing its results with results from the lab, the A1CNow SELFCHECK has 99% accuracy.
The blood sample taken with A1c home kits which has to be sent to the lab for analysis follow almost the same procedures. You give a blood sample taken at home with materials in the kit. Then, you send the blood sample to the laboratory by mail. You have to use a postage-paid return mailer. Next, you wait for approximately three to ten days for the results in the form of a report from the lab.
If the blood sample has been properly protected when it is sent for processing at the lab, there is no doubt that the results of the A1c tests are accurate.
Below are given a few well known A1c home test kits which need lab analysis.
ReliOn A1c Test Kit :This is a kit with a single test. Accurate results, by email or mail, obtained not more than 5 days after reaching the lab.
Flexsite A1c Test Kit : You have the choice of kits with a single test or four tests. Accurate results obtained at the most ten days after reaching the lab.
Appraise A1c Test Kit : This is a kit with a single test which gives accurate results within 3 days of the arrival of the blood sample at the lab.
A1c testing ought to be done a minimum two times each for people suffering from type l diabetes and at least four times each year should you have difficulty with your blood glucose, according to the American Diabetes Association.
It is necessary to stress that A1c tests aren'€™t meant to replace everyday sugar checks. A1c tests give your blood glucose average for the last 2 – 3 consecutive months while daily sugar testing determines your blood glucose at the moment of testing. It is necessary to have both in order to manage your diabetes effectively. A1c home test kits used together with the glucose monitor assist you in better control of your diabetes.

Ayatollah Khamenei in a meeting with members of Iran's Majlis on May 29,2013.
"All of presidential candidates reiterated on their commitment to the law," said Ayatollah Khamenei in a meeting with members of Iran's Majlis on Wednsday.
"[We] should appreciate all of candidates and especially those who did not qualified [to run for president], but chose to abide by the law," he said.
Observers in Tehran believe that the today's remarks by the Iran's supreme leader mean that he will not re-install important disqualified candidates, such as Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani. Some political analysts believed Ayatollah Khamenei will use his authority to re-qualify the 78 year old former two-term president of Iran who disqualified by the Guardian Council due to his old age and inability in taking responsibility of the president.
Iran's leader has called on all presidential candidates to be sincere and provide accurate information in their campaigns.
"The presidential candidates should only say the realities about the current situation and about themselves," he said.
Iranians will go to the polls in the nation's 11th presidential election on June 14.

Top Chef Loves Tomatoes, Hates Deviled Eggs
Written by Dara Published on December 17, 2008 in Television
Considering I haven't written on here in quite a while..you know I feel strongly about this.
There is almost nothing I look forward to more during the week than Wednesday night - plopping down on my couch with some form of snack and watching Top Chef. But I must admit, last night's episode pissed me off. Sometimes this show is so inconsistent it's ridiculous. During this particular episode, the chefs were asked to create hors d'oeuvres for a benefit for AMFAR (American Foundation for AIDS Research). Now as always, something goes wrong for someone or something (becoming a bit predictable, no?) and they are usually the ones to pull through and win or at least become a heavy favorite. Case and point: Radhika and Hosea. Both of their proteins (duck and pork, respectively) were ruined by being left in a refrigerator that was open all night. Yet in the spirit of "Christmas" (keep in mind, this episode was filmed at some point during the summer) all the other chefs pulled through and helped Radhika and Hosea make amazing dishes that landed them in the winning circle. Happy Holidays indeed.
Now in keeping with this "holiday spirit," Tom and the other judges felt that the majority of the food for this benefit was so disappointing, that no one would go home. They would just get a stern talking-to and all be given another shot. The best part about this was that during the "Judges' Table" discussion, they kept bringing up Ariane's deviled eggs and said things like, "you're not going to win a competition with a deviled egg." Yes Tom, you're right. Clearly an egg that has been hard boiled, peeled, separated, mixed with mayo, seasoned and finished with six different types of toppings is MUCH less impressive than…..a watermelon, tomato and feta salad. Yea, that one was rough. Do they not remember that 3 episodes ago ALL the judges were on the friggin floor worshipping a WATERMELON, TOMATO AND FETA CHEESE SALAD?!? SERIOUSLY?! AND YET A DEVILED EGG IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH?? I do love a good deviled egg - but it's not about that (I swear) - it's just about consistency. If you're going to make claims that a deviled egg CAN'T win a competition and yet a salad that a 4-year old can make CAN – then people will start to criticize your judgment (like I'm doing right now). How can you blame Ariane for thinking a deviled egg was a winner when her simpleton tomato and feta salad won a few weeks prior? Sorry Tom and Co., but you've got no one to blame here but yourselves.
…feels like an appropriate moment for a "Boo-yah" doesn't it?
