On the morning of the third and final day of the Mazda Adventure Rally, our morale was pretty low. From a purely mathematical perspective, the Car Guide's team was out of the game. The silver lining, of course, was that we still had a gorgeous drive ahead of us!
Whereas we had previously made a point of getting everywhere early, this time we decided to be the last group to leave the base camp in the beautiful town of Kamloops.
The challenges planned for the third and final day were relatively simple: We were to drive to Ashcroft, a city that's split down the middle by the Thompson River. Along the way, we were supposed to spot the remains of old cars, but we didn't see any.
Then we headed to Merritt, an oasis of civilization in the middle of a sea of mountains covered in the strangest vegetation. We were supposed to identify ranches along the way and then take photos recreating scenes from movies that had been shot in the area.
We stopped for lunch in an amazing inn in Quilchena. The other teams were already leaving as we got there, meaning we had fallen significantly behind.
And yet, we had an awesome day and the drive back to Kamloops along Highway 5A was a breeze. Our only task was to identify the lakes, which as easy enough.
In the end, we finished 7th (out of 9). Hats off to the Autofocus team for their win. They'll be donating the $10,000 prize to Kids Help Phone.
In retrospect, we should have been the last to leave for each of the steps and given ourselves the time to do each of the challenges with care, instead of hustling to get there first.
We did, however, earn the "Tortoise and Hare" prize in recognition of our erratic time results.
I'll conclude with a few words on the province that touts itself as "Beautiful British Columbia." I'd been there before, but always visiting Vancouver and Whistler. This was my first time in the province's interior, and the landscapes were absolutely stunning.
There's no describing that kind of natural wonder. On several occasions, I stopped what I was doing to contemplate the endless mountains on the horizon and the tiny towns lying in the shadows of the majestic peaks.
If you're ever lucky enough to go to B.C., seize the opportunity to go off the beaten track. The roads are breathtaking—and at times terrifying.


"Events that appear to be unjust or unfair are usually mirrors of the consciousness of the people. They are always created with the energies of the collective consciousness. For example, in your country many people do not like your government, and do not want to become involved in any political activity because it is perceived as "too negative." You have books upon books, websites upon websites, describing all the wrongs and the corruption of your government.
What is written and presented to the public is usually true, and though your governments are corrupt to the very core, you need to remember that they always mirror the "consciousness" of the people they govern. What does that tell you? When the people collectively raise their consciousness to embrace universal laws of love, truth and harmony, they no longer attract the kind of government you now have. This is not only in the USA but also applies to all countries on this planet.
– Excerpt of a message for humanity from Ascended Master, Adama.


Please remember those of us who are left behind, the ones who are still struggling everyday with pain, exhaustion and frustration. Those whose recovery is taking years despite how careful we are, how well we pace ourselves, or the treatments we try. We don't want recovery any less than you we just aren't as lucky.
We are pleased that you are doing better, and it gives us hope that one day, we will get better too; but hope will only get you so far, then we have to settle down to the endurance of our day-to-day existence.
There are people with M.E. who have been ill for over a decade and in that time have seen so many people come and go. Watched as their "friends" have recovered and moved on, leaving them behind along with the memories of their illness.
The feeling of abandonment hurts, especially when you've put time and energy into supporting that person, while they were ill. We don't expect you to contact us every day, or even every week; but the occasional card or text would be nice, and try to remember what we are still going through. Tell us how you are doing; but don't forget to ask how we are, what we are up to and how life is in general.
It may be hard to be reminded of what you've been through; but the person still suffering needs the support, now more than ever, and as they were there for you, please be there for them.
This isn't meant to be a guilt trip or to point the finger of blame, just a plea to remember the ones still on the long, slow road to recovery.

The Snapdragon 855 has just been certified for on-chip encryption
2 min read 2 min 6 Shares 6 No comments 0
Authored by: Juliette Bassine 6 months ago
Qualcomm's high-end processor, the Snapdragon 855, has just been awarded the EAL-4+ security certification by the common criteria. But what does that actually mean?
Snapdragon 855, the best of processors
With its Snapdragon 855, Qualcomm is equipping the best phones on the market in 2019: the Samsung Galaxy S10 line (US version), the OnePlus 7 Pro, and the Sony Xperia 1. And for good reason, in addition to being ultra-powerful, these processors offer a very high processing speed and 5G capabilities. In short, it is the best chip you have in a phone at the moment.

But the Snapdragon 855 is once again on the top step of the processor podium thanks to its EAL 4+ safety certification.
What does EAL 4+ mean in practice?
Qualcomm Technologies Inc. announced that the SPU, the integrated security engine of its Snapdragon 855 processor, has received Common Criteria's EAL 4+ security certification. That is, now you can use this processor as a secure area for encryption, payments, eSIM and much more.
"Completing the EAL-4+ security certification is a major milestone in our journey to bring smart card levels of security to our Snapdragon customers and users. Use cases that previously required separate security chips will now be possible fully integrated in Snapdragon 855 powered devices. This certification is a testament to the industry firsts that Snapdragon 855 brings to market and Qualcomm Technologies' continued leadership in embedded security," said Jesse Seed, director of product management at Qualcomm.
Where before phones required a chip dedicated to this security, now the processor supports it. This is a real technological advancement, but also an economic one. Indeed, savings will be made by eliminating the construction of this chip, and the (albeit small) space will become available inside smartphones.
It should also be noted that certification applies retroactively to smartphones equipped with the Snapdragon 855, although this is not necessary since they are also equipped with the separate security chip.
Do you think this is a real breakthrough in processor manufacturing?

Terence Conran: My Life in Design (Hardcover)
By Terence Conran
(FINE ARTS)
Few individuals in the last century have had such a wide-reaching influence on the way we live our lives than Sir Terence Conran - from how we decorate our homes to our passion for eating out. Now in his eighties and still designing beautiful homeware and opening buzzy, welcoming restaurants, Sir Terence looks back at the Conran brand since he founded the Conran Design Studio sixty years ago and explores the many areas where he and his design team have made an impact.
Chapters cover the founding of Habitat, product design, furniture, catalogues and books, housing and hotels, retail and fashion and the creation of the Design Museum. Extensively illustrated with photographs and drawings and with a lively, incisive commentary that reveals the stories behind the designs, Terence Conran: My Life in Design will appeal to designers, students and all those who have grown up with the work of the multi-talented Sir Terence Conran.
Sir Terence Conran was one of the world's best-known designers, retailers and restaurateurs. Born in 1931 he founded the Conran Design Studio in 1956, and in 1964 opened the first of the Habitat chain of home furnishing stores that revolutionized design on the British high street in the '60s and '70s and continued to expand its influence around the globe. Later Terence established The Conran Shop and opened stores in London, Paris, Germany, New York, across Japan as well as his largest store ever in Seoul, South Korea.
In the 1990s Terence founded Conran Restaurants, opening iconic restaurants, hotels and bars around the world including Quaglino's, Bluebird, Mezzo, Guastavino's and Le Pont de la Tour. His other restaurant ventures included the iconic Bibendum in Chelsea and The Boundary in Shoreditch.
In 1989 he founded the Design Museum in London, the world's first museum dedicated to design, which moved to larger premises in the former Commonwealth Building in Kensington, in 2016.
Terence wrote more than 50 informative books that reflect his philosophy - that good design improves the quality of people's lives.
Terence was knighted for his services to design in 1983, and in 2018 he was made a Companion of Honour by Her Majesty The Queen, one of the highest distinctions available in the United Kingdom.
Britain's taste-maker in chief.

AVENGERS: ENDGAME (2019) is the perfect final chapter to the MCU's 11-year journey
Stephen Parthimos April 25, 2019 April 25, 2019 2019, Reviews
NO SPOILERS OF COURSE
11 years and 22 films later, Marvel has delivered their biggest and most ambitious project to date. Avengers: Endgame has arrived and pits the surviving Avengers against Thanos (Josh Brolin) in one final confrontation that not only closes out the story of 2018's Infinity War, but acts as a conclusion to everything that has come before it.
Avengers: Infinity War was a massive film. Enormous in scope, ambitious in scale, and delivered on bringing together 10 years of films and characters who we've grown to love. But Endgame is another beast entirely. This does what no film has done prior, acting as a finale to a 22 episode season in which it has to tie up every single storyline and character arc in the space of 3 hours. Directors Joe and Anthony Russo have pulled off something magnificent and extraordinary that I don't think we will ever see the likes of again. There is not a minute of this movie that is wasted on something insignificant. The storytelling is so tight and focused that there isn't a moment of downtime long enough for a quick toilet break. The story goes to places you never would have predicted and executes it in epic fashion.
So little has been revealed about this story to where I didn't have a clue about where things would go. Anything in here that I thought might happen definitely doesn't go down in any way I could have imagined. As far as surprises come, this movie is packed to the brim with moments that will shock and surprise anyone from the casual to the die-hard MCU fan. It's rare to have no idea where a story is going to go in todays social media age and Endgame is a reminder of how good that feels. The intensity and emotional weight of this journey is on the rise the entire way through. It's a constant building of tension and drama that has you engaged and locked in indefinitely. The first half is a lot of dealing with the aftermath of Infinity War and kicking off the events of this film and it's done so at a slower but still thrilling and entertaining pace. The last hour or so of this movie is non stop right to the final second. A love letter to everything that has come before it, the back end of this movie is the perfect way to cap off everything that has come in the MCU so far.
The performances in here are top notch as expected as we've already seen everyone in here put their all into their characters. Veteran MCU stars Chris Evans (Captain America) and Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man) are as good as they've ever been as their characters. They have tied together the MCU for 11 years now and are the glue that ties together the emotion and tension of this entire story. They're phenomenal leads but they aren't the only major players in here. The extended supporting cast are all great including Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), and the returning Paul Rudd (Ant Man) and Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye). Chris Hemsworth (Thor) is one of the biggest highlights of the film as his character is taken in a very interesting direction I for one could not have predicted. Karen Gillan's Nebula has a much more involved role in this film than in any of her previous appearances. Karen brings a lot to this story and gets does a lot for the development of her character, making her journey one of the more engaging and rewarding in here.
The visuals are stunning and the action is the most exciting and varied action the MCU has seen to date. There are a number of moments where there is a lot going on at once, but one thing the Russo brothers perfected with Infinity War is being able to show a lot of information on screen at once without being overwhelming. There are individual moments that give you that 'wow' factor and will be remembered by everyone who exits that cinema but this film as a whole is a spectacle like nothing else.
Avengers: Endgame will put you through an emotional rollercoaster. It will give you chills with the epic action sequences that grace the screen. It will make you laugh with the comedy that is only injected at the right moments and doesn't feel out of place. It will pull on those heart strings and get you emotional (it got me more than once). I'm not saying it's a perfect film but it really is the perfect way to close out such a large cluster of stories in one movie. I hope we one day see the Russo brothers return to the MCU but I don't think we'll ever get an event or spectacle quite as stellar as this.
There is so much I cannot talk about which I will save for an inevitable spoiler review after i see this one again.

Q: Installing kernel from tarball I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 installed alongside Windows and the default loader is GRUB.
I've downloaded kernel 3.8.5 tar.xz file and want to install without erasing the existing 3.5 kernel.
Following the instructions given in the README file it said ncurses library is required.
I extracted the file and did the following. The terminal output is shown below.
root@Ubuntu:/home/prasanna/linux-3.8.5# make O=/home/name/build/kernel menuconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  GEN     /home/name/build/kernel/Makefile
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o
 *** Unable to find the ncurses libraries or the
 *** required header files.
 *** 'make menuconfig' requires the ncurses libraries.
 ***
 *** Install ncurses (ncurses-devel) and try again.
 ***
make[2]: *** [scripts/kconfig/dochecklxdialog] Error 1
make[1]: *** [menuconfig] Error 2
make: *** [sub-make] Error 2

After installing ncurses, I ran the command menuconfig a dialogue box appeared and coundn't proceed much. I tried with "config" selecting default optioins.

     make O=/home/name/build/kernel
     sudo make O=/home/name/build/kernel modules_install install

When I entered the first command of above got error and it read: run "make mproper". And this command said no configuration file.
I'm truly not understanding what's happening.
Please help me out suggesting any other easy way to install the same tar.xz file of Linux kernel with default options without erasing the older one so that I get choices of kernel at boot up.

A: I'm a new Ubunutu(Linux) user. Sorry if Iam wrong. However this is how I install new kernels.
I download the deb files and cd to the directory containing them and just execute
$ sudo dpkg -i *.deb
What I have noticed is that, the new installed kernel will NOT erase the older one but only create a new entry in the boot loader and make itself default if it's newer. And if it already exists it would override it without making itself default.

A: It says don't have the ncurses lib. You can do that running

$ sudo apt-get install ncurses-devel

Probably you'll get other warnings for other missing libraries. You need to read with attention to see what's missing and search how you can install it.
But I don't think it's recommendable to compile your own kernel in Ubuntu. And it's not recommendable at all to do that without using your package manager (dpkg in your case).
If you want to keep your installation stable I suggest you to do this in a virtual machine first.

The Board of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO) today published a consultation report on Good Practices for the Termination of Investment Funds, which proposes a set of good practices on the voluntary termination process for investment funds.
IOSCO recognises the importance for investment funds to have termination procedures in place from an investor protection perspective. The decision to terminate an investment fund can have a significant impact on investors in terms of cost or their ability to redeem their holdings in a timely manner during the termination process. Both retail and professional investors can be affected by the ultimate value of their investment in a fund at the time of termination. The report targets a broad range of investment funds including collective investment schemes (CIS) and other fund structures such as commodity, real estate and hedge funds.
Most regulatory regimes have certain criteria for the termination of investment funds in their jurisdiction, ranging from the over arching obligation to act in the best interests of investors, to prescriptive requirements for liquidating the portfolio and the payment of final distribution proceeds.
But legislation at a national level in most jurisdictions addresses involuntary terminations (for example, in the case of insolvency of an investment fund).
IOSCO's work focuses on voluntary terminations with the objective to develop a set of good practices for the termination of investment funds which take into account investor interests during this process.
Voluntary terminations typically occur because an investment fund, although still solvent, is no longer economically viable or can no longer serve its intended objectives. The decision to terminate in these cases is taken by the responsible entity, although this decision may be based on factors outside its direct control.
In a number of jurisdictions, an investment fund may elect not to terminate by liquidating its assets and repaying investors, and instead will seek to merge its assets with another investment fund, often managed by the same responsible entity. In this regard, IOSCO is considering whether the issues arising from investment fund mergers generally would have a particular impact on the termination process.
Public comments on this consultation paper should be submitted on or before 17 October 2016. The IOSCO statement and related information is available here.

So, I have a little story about music bringing us all together. My very first trip out of the US, was to Costa Rica. 1989. Grew up on a small grain farm......I was NOT cultured. No clue.
In my job at the time, I go to Costa Rica. A little rural agriculture town called Upala. North Central. I mean, dirt roads, total third world......etc. I was blown away. Never in my life had I experienced such a mind blowing visual as this.
Fast forward. It's a Sunday. I go via my little rental car to a town called San Antonio. It's literally on the border of northern Costa Rica, and southern Nicaragua. A little river seperates the 2. Mostly, it feels like a jungle to me. Monkeys chattering, large lizards slinking through the dead palm leaves on the ground. Hotter than hell.
So, I speak NO spanish. I mean, I'm green as they get. So, I'm just trying to understand the culture.....constantly blown away by what I see every day. I started to become a recluse in my "hotel" because I was so intimidated by the language barrier...and the shock of third world living conditions.
Now, I'm on a black sand beach on the Pacific side. Palm trees........wild cows and wild horses are walking around. There is a little bar. Obviously, it's outside. Palm tree stump as are the seats.....
I start drinking. Still, way intimidated by my lack of communication skills with the bartenders, and locals. Then, sometime after doing multiple shots of tequila......the bartender puts on Journey's greatest hits. I mean. It hit us all like a hammer in the forehead. We all started singing (shouting really) the lyrics in English! It was the single most amazing feeling I've had in my life. Never have I done a drug, that compared to that emotional feeling of connection. We sang, hugged and danced near the ocean until sunset.

Jessica's hook-ups revealed
Dim lighting, a plush booth in the back and a tipsy Jessica Simpson downing vodka tonics as she cozies up to a hunky, dark-haired crooner. But on the night of Sept. 4, 2004, at the celebrity-friendly Whiskey Bar at L.A.'s Sunset Marquis Hotel and Villas, the studly singer that Jessica, 25, cozied up to was not her husband, Nick Lachey! More than a year ago — even before the rumors of Nick's bachelor-party antics with porn star Jessica Jaymes and other indiscretions began plaguing their three-year marriage — Jessica was caught canoodling with Maroon 5's Adam Levine! "It was obvious that Jessica and Adam were very attracted to each other," an eyewitness who partied with the pair that night tells Star. "They were cuddled right up against each other, side by side, giggling and whispering romantically into each other's ears. Jessica was putting her hand on Adam's leg from time to time."
JUST FRIENDS?
An innocent flirtation? Could be. Reps for both Simpson and Levine, 26, say that the two are just "friends." But it seems that Nick, 32, has been wrongly vilified for his apparent wandering eye — especially in light of virgin-till-marriage Jessica's own extracurricular explorations. She's been linked in reports to her Dukes of Hazzard co-star Johnny Knoxville, as well as his bad-boy Jackass buddy and skateboard star Bam Margera. But Jessica's latest boytoy may be Trace Ayala, 25, Justin Timberlake's business partner in the William Rast clothing line, who she's been spotted cozying up to in L.A. since mid-November.
A rep for Simpson insists that Ayala, who recently split with fiancée and 24 actress Elisha Cuthbert, 23, is close friends with Jess' best friend and assistant CaCee Cobb. "That's a complete hoax," a Simpson source tells Star. "I think Trace is hanging around Jess because he wants to be her boyfriend," the source says. "But Jessica told Trace she can't date him 'publicly' for at least six months. Trace is gaga for Jessica, so he'll go along with anything at this point."
In any case, it seems Jessica, who has been crashing at her parents' home in L.A. since the split with Nick, is ready for a fresh start — which means relocating to focus on her acting, including a possible stint on Broadway.
"She's doing everything she can to break away from Nick. She's even thinking of moving to New York to keep a safe distance," says a Simpson source. "She's asked her staff to find her an apartment in New York so she can move east and start a new life!"

Rare 1971 Tonight Show Clip With Johnny Carson & The Hilarious Bob Uecker
Johnny Carson Looks At Press Photos With Bob Uecker, Going Over Bob's Legendary Baseball Career
In the mid-90s actor Leslie Nielsen was doing publicity for a comedic book "Bad Golf My Way." The radio stations who set up interviews with Nielsen expected the star of "Airplane" and "Police Squad / The Naked Gun" to be as witty as the man who was in those movies.
While Leslie Nielsen had a sense of humor he was not a funny man. The public seems to forget that writers write those funny lines for actors to say.
Nielsen did his best, doing four hours of back to back interviews with FM stations across the country. But the radio hosts mostly got a reality check. Just because you're a comedic actor does not translate into being a funny guest.
On the other hand Bob Uecker was a professional baseball catcher for six seasons in the 1960s who had a career .200 batting average. While Uecker was by his own estimate not a particularly good ballplayer, he was very funny. Uecker parlayed his natural sense of humor into a fifty year career as a baseball announcer and talk show guest, and he is still going strong, The 87-year-old Uecker remains the radio voice of the Milwaukee Brewers.
Here is Uecker's seventh appearance on The Tonight Show, September 23, 1971.
What makes this clip rare is that for the first 10 years that Carson hosted The Tonight Show from New York, almost every tape was subsequently erased. Continue reading →

The Woman in the First Row Behind Home Plate At Milwaukee Brewers Games? It's "Front Row Amy"
"Front Row Amy" Gets National Attention Sitting Behind Home Plate During The Milwaukee Brewers Playoff Run
She is there for every pitch – "Front Row Amy"
The Milwaukee Brewers are battling the Los Angeles Dodgers in the playoffs and the games are being nationally televised. This has led to a discovery for most (male) fans outside of Milwaukee.
Front Row Amy
You'd have to be completely oblivious not to notice there is a woman sitting in the first row behind home plate at the Brewers home games always wearing a low cut blouse.
You may think she is there to distract the opposing team's pitcher. She is not. She has been going to Brewers games for over 10 years and her name is Amy Williams, aka "Front Row Amy."
Amy is a die-hard fan. As a season ticket holder she attends around 50 games per year. In 2011 she moved to her signature front row seat and started getting "noticed."
As she told OnMilwaukee.com in 2011, "What first got people's attention was probably, well, you know, "the girls." But, I think what keeps their attention is that fact that I am so passionate about the Brewers. Brewers fans appreciate the fact that I drive an hour and a half to games by myself, that I keep score, and that I really get into the game! The Brewers are my life during baseball season, and I guess that shows when I'm at games. I love them so much it hurts! And baseball is the greatest game on Earth!" How famous is Amy? Well she has a bobble-head available for purchase. I don't know many fans who have received that honor. She also has imitators at Miller Park, such as this person, "Front Row Andy." Getting to the ballpark Continue reading →

Scorecard. Who Needs A Scorecard?
The Death Of The Scorecard At The Ballgame
Scorecard vendor at the Polo Grounds 1949 – photo William C. Greene
Recently I went to a baseball game at that imitation ballpark in the Bronx they call Yankee Stadium. After being gently frisked at the admission gates and going through the turnstiles, the thing that did not greet me was what you see above: a vendor selling scorecards.
You could buy a scorecard, but not for 10 cents as it was at the Polo Grounds in 1949. The archaic idea of a scorecard costs $10 at Yankee Stadium and is available at the souvenir shops spread throughout Yankee Mall Stadium. The scorecard is buried in some glossy souvenir publication which I did not purchase, nor did anyone else.
When I used to attend a lot of games in the 1970's and 80's buying a scorecard was a no-brainer. From anywhere from a reasonable 25 cents in the early 1970's to two dollars in the late 80's, filling out that scorecard and having a program was a nice memento of a game I went to. There is a certain enjoyment derived from scorekeeping and having a permanent record of a game you are attending.

I just dug this program of my closet from a game I went to on Thursday evening September 6, 1973. The Yankees came back in the bottom of the eighth inning after trailing 6-5 on a three run home run from Mike Hegan to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 8-6. Bobby Murcer and Roy White also homered for the Yanks. The time of the game was 2:22.
In my childish way I merely recorded outs as fly outs, ground outs or line outs without denoting the fielders who made the play. As you can see my scorekeeping leaves a lot to be desired, but for a little kid I think I did a pretty good job. Eventually I learned to score correctly.
For 30 cents they packed a lot into 28 pages. Continue reading →

Computer science is like writing. You don't learn to write to be an author. Its going to be the same with computer science. If we do not take the knowledge to the poorest of the poor it will be injustice to them. Computer science is not only about programming it is about systematic thinking. There is a well laid out curriculum available at code.org for children from 4+ to 18 years of age.
1. Three used laptops, on which I will run code.org's code studio.
3. A portable internet connection, like tata docomo.
1. I already volunteer to teach at a children home, I have two batches the juniors and seniors. There are 6 juniors from 7-10 years olds and 4 seniors from 10 to 12 years old.
2. The items (laptops etc) purchased will be in my possession. I will carry it with me for the classes and bring it back with me.
3. There will be 3 hours per week for each batch of kids.
4. Other folks interested in teaching and joining the efforts are welcome.
5. I am open to teach a larger number, if folks want to organize.
Best wishes for a great cause!

Creator Spotlight: Kwame Teague Delivers Verdict
Posted on February 26, 2017 by stache
Aspiring comic book creators have challenges on their journey toward making that first graphic novel. Perhaps none so tough as Kwame Teague, who is currently serving multiple life sentences behind bars in North Carolina for two counts of murder, kidnapping, and armed robbery.
While fighting to prove his innocence of these crimes, Teague started a writing career. He has penned novels that have become the gold standard for the urban fiction genre. Now the author has undertaken the new challenge of adapting his gritty storytelling style to the comic book medium with Verdict.
"Being incarcerated is probably the defining challenge externally," explains Teague. The logistics of making a comic book behind bars is difficult. Scripts have to be handwritten on legal pads to be prepared by an outside editor. Artwork is censored so that it doesn't run afoul of the prison mail rules. But like all writers he shares the common drive of polishing his craft to perfection. "Internally, its challenging to continue to push the envelope and tell better and better stories," he says.
Verdict script, handwritten by Kwame Teague
With his work-in-progress graphic novel Verdict, Teague digs into the life of a ruthless gangster named Dutch. "I wanted to tell the story of what I consider the embodiment of the one question that defines gangster ambition: how do you want it?"
Verdict opens on a modern day "trial of the century" where infamous gangster Dutch is fighting for his life. Through the testimony of friends and foes alike, the story flashes back to the Jersey streets that made the man. In doing so, Teague draws from his own experiences growing up in "Brick City".
"It's basically a combination of situations I knew about, situations I've been in, and situations I created fictionally. I didn't make nearly as much from streets, but the ruthlessness and strategic thinking that made Dutch who he is, is a part of who I am. But growing up in Newark in the 80's, there were definitely guys like Dutch," he explains.
Verdict storms into the world of comics with guns blazing, offering the action and excitement that has made street literature bestsellers. "Just like with hip-hop, urban fiction appeals because its our voice, our story, our reality. We can relate to the nuances. Those outside the inner city relate vicariously. Voyeurism is America's favorite past time and Verdict brings readers straight fire."
The blazing hot story is brought to life through the artwork of Michael Lee Harris, creator of the unique comedy series Black Hitler. The visual nature of comics comes naturally to Teague, who first learned how to write screenplays when he was twelve. "Throughout my teen years, I would start different film projects, but I never finished one. Back then there weren't any readily available outlets for inner city kids who wanted to write movies in the 80's so I didn't pursue it."
While working on books and graphic novels, Teague continues his quest for his personal freedom. "I need all the help I can get. If anyone is interested in knowing more please write me," he encourages.
Kwame Teague can be reached by mail at:

The first chapter of Verdict is available digitally on Comixology and in print from GR1ND studios and Stache Publishing. The second chapter is currently being completed.

Fall Meeting Brings Military and Industry Logistics Leaders Together
Oct 21, 2022 | DTJ Online
The four-day action-packed National Defense Transportation Association, U.S. Transportation Command (USTRANSCOM) 2022 Fall Meeting was filled with five keynote sessions, two roundtable discussions, 64 interactive Transportation Academy sessions, and vendor booths filled four halls of the historic Union Station in St. Louis.
The theme for this year's session was "Defense Transportation & Logistics…Evolving the Strategic Advantage."
Air Force Gen. Jacqueline Van Ovost, commander, USTRANSCOM, kicked off the Fall Meeting, and during her keynote address, she discussed the importance of the conference.
"This year's Fall Meeting has already generated important conversations and with major topics like China's implication for the United States, our National Defense Strategy, and cyber security, I expect they will only get better," said Van Ovost during her opening comments. This year's theme of "evolving the strategic advantage" is well timed and I cannot overemphasize the need for our organizations to rapidly adapt to the realities of strategic competition. We need you with us, all the way."
Van Ovost highlighted the opportunities and challenges the transportation enterprise faces in this decisive decade.
"Today, our logistical prowess remains on full display as we balance the rigors of our global mission, while ensuring Ukraine receives the aid necessary to defend their nation. Current events, driven primarily by the acute threat posed by Russia, remind us that logistics is a critical warfighting function," the commander said. "China has shaped their instruments of national power to erode, disrupt, or destroy our ability to oppose their revisionist aspirations. Undoubtedly, our enterprise will play an increasingly critical role in achieving our national defense objectives. To succeed, we must adopt the mentality that challenge is not synonymous with impossible, and contested is not the same as impenetrable. Significant opportunities exist in this environment to exploit our expertise to deploy, maneuver, and sustain the joint force."
Van Ovost's keynote presentation left lasting impressions on the hundreds of transportation professionals in attendance.
"I thought General Van Ovost highlighted the importance of global transportation, and logistics, and highlighted all our efforts in Ukraine, which is very impressive," said U.S. Navy Capt. Ken Bridgewater, commander, Task Force 33.
While the keynote sessions were very impactful, the plethora of academy sessions allowed military, civilians, contractors, and industry partners to socialize, and share experiences that will better grow their ability to engage in a highly contested and competitive environment.
"My biggest takeaway from this experience was just the breadth and depth of civilian partnership engagement that is required to execute the daily mission of USTRANSCOM," said U.S. Army Maj. Stephen Coley, liaison, U.S. Navy's Military Sealift Command.
The two roundtable sessions hosted members from the services, academia, and commercial industries and focused on technology and cybersecurity.
"It makes me think how much information we are making easily available to the enemy," said Army Maj. David Perez, executive officer, 833rd Transportation Battalion.
As the sessions wrapped-up on the final day, Van Ovost's message of, "we must continue to empower a competitive and resilient warfighting team. You are the ones who will ensure we can compete now, and in the future," was clear to all.
"We have to be prepared, and the only way we are going to do that is to come together as a group, no one can go it alone, we definitely need our industry partners to be able to achieve our mission," said Gina Lee, chief, Airlift Division, Directorate of Acquisition, USTRANSCOM.
Next year's Fall Meeting is scheduled to be held in Orlando, Fla. from Oct. 31-Nov. 3, 2023.
