A bargain-priced, no-fuss big screen set, the Insignia 55-inch Roku TV (NS-55DR420NA16) is intended for those who want to simply enjoy their favorite shows and get trouble-free access to online streaming services. Insignia is Best Buy's in-house label, and the set is competitively priced at $580.
Like most sets in this price range, the Insignia TV doesn't come with a built-in Web cam or support 4K content. Its picture quality is average, it can't handle 3D programs, and it's not the slimmest set on the market. But while this edge-lit Insignia TV lacks flare and features, it does offer a full HD 1080p picture and one of the best smart TV experiences available, thanks to the built-in Roku service, which offers more connected TV streaming options than anyone else.
Design: Sturdy and Thin Enough
Sitting on a pair of boomerang-shaped feet, the Insignia Roku TV is steady enough on a table top, but the position of the supports, midway toward the center of the panel, makes it difficult if not impossible to put a soundbar or sound stand directly underneath it. However, the TV's shiny black bezel keeps the design understated and simple. Without the stand, the Insignia set is 2.6-inches thick; about what you'll typically find in this price range and certainly thin enough to hang on a wall.
With built-in Wi-Fi and three HMDI ports, most buyers will find all the connections they need here.
The Insignia Roku TV also has a USB port, analog and digital audio outputs (for a home theater system or sound bar), and composite and RF video inputs.
Interface: Roku Serenity
Roku has pretty much set the standard for making streaming media channels easy to find and use. That's no small accomplishment, given that it gives you built-in access on the Insignia set (and others) to thousands of entertainment options, ranging from popular services like Netflix and Amazon, to obscure sailing channels and foreign language news outlets.
The large tiles on screen make it easy to organize favorites like Pandora and Crackle alongside apps from Time Warner Cable and PBS. When you can't find what you're looking for, Roku's search function will scan across the major video sources, delivering a list with prices, so that you don't pay for, say, Gone Girl, when you already have it as part of your HBO subscription.
Further enhancing the Roku interface, there is also a free Roku app for iOS and Android users. With it you can stream media from your smartphone to the Insignia TV, or you can use your phone as a second remote control.
Image Quality: Flawed but Acceptable
Some sacrifices are apparent in the Insignia Roku TV's picture quality. While not poor, its 60 Hz refresh rate — versus more typical 120 Hz — and reduced off-axis viewing means the set doesn't offer quite the image detail or sharpness as the similarly priced Vizio E-Series (whose refresh rate is 120 Hz).
While viewing several Blu-ray test movies, I found the Insignia did hit a number of positive notes. In tricky, fast-paced chase scenes that have tripped up the video processing in other sets, there were no visible glitches or egregious artifacts in the Insignia Roku TV's picture. On motocross bikes in Skyfall, James Bond chased a villain across Istanbul rooftops without faltering.

Color reproduction was also reasonably accurate on the Insignia set. The Insignia faithfully reproduced green treetops and the blue ocean. The set does veer slightly toward cooler, more bluish color temperatures, but if anything it tends to make natural outdoor scenes look more realistic.
There were no overblown reds or oversaturated colors in what I found to be the best video setting, movie mode. In addition, while the contrast ratio was not the best I've seen, it's certainly acceptable for a set in this price range.
The Insignia's image flaws became apparent when examining minute picture details. In general, this Roku TV presents a softer picture. In Skyfall, for example, the clearly defined edges of bricks in the background during Bond's physical evaluation were washed out. White space suits in Gravity lacked some of the elbow wrinkles apparent on other sets.
With its edge-lit LED design, the Insignia set also couldn't achieve the deep black levels of sets like the Vizio E-Series that use a full-array backlight. Consequently, star-filled night skies tended to have a grayish cast. I also found that when viewing the set from off-center positions, the colors washed out quickly as I moved farther to the sides.
Audio Quality: Muffled Performance
Many high-end LCD sets costing thousands of dollars deliver less than ideal sound. So it shouldn't be a surprise that this inexpensive Insignia Roku TV isn't going to impress anyone in the audio department.
When using the Normal and Theater audio settings, the Insignia set muffled the vocals on soundtracks (it's only rated for a total of 16 watts of power). A Speech setting is supposed to help dialogue clarity, but I found it tinny. A Music setting did open up the audio slightly and made soundtracks feel less claustrophobic, but the tradeoff was increased sibilance in narration and on vocal tracks.

Remote: A Paragon of Simplicity
You can find fancier remote controls, but you won't find better ones than the modified Roku model here. Like the controllers for other Roku TVs from Hisense and TCL, the Insignia's remote sticks to the ergonomics of Roku's original design.
A large four-way directional button is there to maneuver through menus, plus back and home buttons. Just six other buttons are there for functions such as pausing playback, with volume controls on the side, and a couple of dedicated buttons for services, including Netflix and Rdio thrown in. Only slightly longer than the remote controls that come with Roku's set-top boxes, the Insignia's remote still nestles comfortably in one's hand.
Bottom Line: Bargain Priced Smart TV
Not everyone wants or needs an Ultra HD 4K set, and there's plenty to like in this inexpensive 55-inch TV. The Insignia TV's picture quality, while not state of the art, is certainly good enough for most HD content and delivers slightly better contrast than the other, smaller Roku TV we've tested from Hisense.
In this size and price range, the Vizio E-Series has the edge in terms of picture quality and its full-array LED backlight. But if you want a smart TV with streaming media access, the Insignia Roku TV interface bests Vizio's antiquated software.

North Carolina bills would widen ability to investigate child sex abuse
By Patricia L. Guilfoyle • Catholic News Service • Posted March 11, 2019
RALEIGH, N.C. (CNS) — Bills introduced in the North Carolina General Assembly would broaden the state's power to investigate child sexual abuse crimes and raise the statute of limitations on claims of past abuse.
The proposals, labeled the Sexual Assault Fast reporting and Enforcement Child Act, or SAFE Child Act, gained early support from a Republican and Democrat lawmakers.
Several legislators appeared alongside child welfare advocates at a March 7 news conference in Raleigh led by North Carolina Attorney General Josh Stein.
"It doesn't matter whether you're a parent or a policymaker, nothing is more important than keeping children safe from sexual abuse," Stein said. "It's critical that we protect kids wherever they are or spend time, whether that's in their home or at summer camp or an afterschool activity or online."
With the proposed legislation, Stein said, "More children who were abused will see justice, and more abusers will see prison time."
Following Stein's news conference, the Diocese of Raleigh posted a statement on its website stating, "The Diocese of Raleigh looks forward to reviewing the proposed act recently announced by Attorney General Stein and supports efforts to further protect North Carolina's children from sexual abuse."
"Bishop (Luis) Zarama and the diocese support additional measures that would further clarify or expedite reports of suspected abuse and aid survivors in healing," the statement continued.
The legislation would extend the statute of limitations on misdemeanor child sexual abuse cases from two years after the alleged assault occurred to 10 years. Felony abuse cases already have no time limit on prosecution.
The statute of limitations on civil lawsuits related to claims of past child sexual abuse would extend to when the alleged victim reaches the age of 45 (in the House version) or age of 50 (in the Senate version). Under current law, the statute of limitations on civil lawsuits generally expires when the victim turns 21.
Noting that victims often don't come forward until years — sometimes even decades — later, Stein said, "We fully anticipate that more charges will be brought and more civil claims will be brought, because we know a great deal more about the psychological impact of abuse of children."
The proposed legislation would also empower the attorney general to convene an investigative grand jury to examine child sexual abuse claims — a power currently not available in North Carolina.
The legislation would also mandate that all "high risk" sex offenders register their computer's IP address in addition to their physical address on the North Carolina sex offender registry.
Another provision would require any adult or institution that suspects child abuse to report it to local police — not just to the North Carolina Department of Social Services as current law mandates. Failure to report abuse would be a misdemeanor.
Both the Charlotte and Raleigh dioceses already report all allegations of child sexual abuse to DSS as well as to the North Carolina Conference of District Attorneys, which then routes the report to the appropriate local law enforcement agency to investigate.
Guilfoyle is editor of the Catholic News Herald, the newspaper of the Diocese of Charlotte.

Die Resolution 1546 des UN-Sicherheitsrates (Irak-Resolution) zur Nachkriegsordnung im besetzten Irak wurde am 8. Juni 2004 einstimmig beschlossen. Der Entwurf der Vereinigten Staaten und des Vereinigten Königreiches war im Sicherheitsrat drei Wochen lang verhandelt worden, zuletzt unter Einbindung von Lakhdar Brahimi und designierten irakischen Regierungsvertretern.

Laut der Resolution läuft das Mandat für den Einsatz der multinationalen Streitkräfte aus, sobald spätestens 2006 eine demokratisch gewählte Regierung im Amt ist.

Die Machtübergabe von der Koalitions-Übergangsverwaltung an die Irakische Übergangsregierung erfolgt unter deren Mitbestimmung bei Einsätzen der Besatzungstruppe (derzeit 160.000 Mann) ausländischen Soldaten. Die letzte Ergänzung kam den Kritikern (Frankreich und Deutschland) nochmals durch Verankerung einer Sicherheitspartnerschaft entgegen: Die US-geführte Koalition bildet mit der neuen Bagdader Übergangsregierung ein Sonderkomitee für alle sicherheitsrelevanten Fragen und Angriffsoperationen mit der Bagdader Regierung in einem zusammenarbeiten. Ein mehrfach (aber nicht vom Irak) gefordertes Vetorecht wurde nicht vereinbart.

Die Regierung erhält auch größeren Einfluss auf die Erdöl-Industrie und finanzielle Ressourcen und kann die fremden Truppen zum Abzug auffordern, wenn es die Sicherheit erlaubt. Das Mandat der Truppen hätte spätestens im Januar 2006 auslaufen sollen, wenn eine gewählte irakische Regierung die damalige Übergangsregierung abgelöst hat, es wurde aber verlängert und dauert noch an.

Derzeit steht die Anwesenheit der multinationalen Truppe unter dem Mandat der Resolution 1723 (2006).

Warner Brothers say subscription services won't replace traditional models
Alex M
The gaming industry has recently been on a wave of announcing streaming products and services. With Microsoft, Google, and others all developing their own streaming platforms, it may seem that the future of gaming lies with a subscription service, rather than buying games individually for a one-off purchase.
Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment president David Haddad, however, does not see subscription gaming replacing the current purchasing model.
In an interview with VentureBeat, he explained that despite the opportunities offered by streaming, he doesn't see it necessarily coming hand in hand with a subscription model that would completely replace traditional forms of purchasing gaming content. Whilst subscription services like Stadia, Game Pass, and UPlay+ will become more common, they will not in fact become the norm.
"Our observation is that oftentimes it is written that streaming automatically brings subscription, because that's what happened in other forms of media, other forms of content. I think they're actually two different topics. I don't believe that it will automatically come together," he said. "I do think that we've proven that a transactional business, as we call it, where you pay a premium price for an experience, where gamers can have 30, 40, 100 hours of play–they'll pay a premium price for that. That's great for us. We have a history of that transactional business."
His reasoning for this is the fact that most gamers only play a few games each year, so for most a monthly subscription service would be a waste of money. "There may be people that like the consumption pattern of having a subscription so that they can try more games and play more games," Haddad said. "But the behavior today is actually fairly concentrated on players spending most of their time in a handful of games that they carefully pick and that are able to secure a premium price in the market."
Whether or not subscriptions will become the normal method of purchasing games remains to be seen, but this may indicate the first crack in the armour of the current streaming/subscription model trend.

I was introduced to TruHome by a friend I have known for years. I really did not know what to expect when I joined the company, but after a month or two, I became more comfortable. My manager and teammates were so welcoming. Whenever I needed assistance or advice, I had help from everyone around me. I started as an Inbound Loan Officer and moved to Outbound Loan Officer once the team was created. I have been an Outbound Loan Officer since that time and I enjoy the daily challenge.
I really like the laid-back atmosphere with a focus on daily progression, individually and as a company.
The culture is like a family, where everyone looks out for one another.
I have been patient with the process and have embraced the competitive atmosphere that pushes me to reach for more.

It was a show of solidarity, love and respect, when friends and political associates of former Vice President, Alhaji Namadi Sambo and his wife, Amina Sambo, defiled the heavy rain fall to give them a heroic welcome back to Kaduna State.
The friends and political associates largely of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) were led by the former governor, Mukhtar Ramalan Yero; the party's state chairman, Chief Abubakar Gaiya Haruna and the Speaker, Kaduna State House of Assembly, Shehu Tahir to receive Sambo at the Kaduna International Airport.
The former Vice President and his wife, who arrived the airport at exactly 6:30pm on Friday, in a presidential plane met thousands of well wishers who trooped out to welcome them inside the rain chanting welcome songs.
Some of his associates, who spoke with journalists, expressed confidence that the return of Sambo to Kaduna State will begin another phase of restructuring and repositioning PDP for 2019.

Marshall Tucker, Namesake of the Marshall Tucker Band, Dead at 99
Carena Liptak Published: January 23, 2023
The Marshall Tucker Band are mourning the loss of the man who lent their group his name. Marshall Tucker, a blind piano tuner who hailed from South Carolina, died on Friday (Jan. 20) at the age of 99.
The Southern rock group — founded by Toy Caldwell, Doug Gray, Jerry Eubanks, George McCorkle, Paul Riddle and Tommy Caldwell — shared a remembrance of Tucker on social media after learning of his death.
"We are saddened to hear of the passing of someone very special to our hearts, for obvious reasons," they write on Saturday (Jan. 21.) "Our band's namesake, Mr. Marshall Tucker, passed away peacefully yesterday morning at the age of 99."
The band also issued a full statement that reflected on their group's history with Tucker, who was a talented pianist, but never played with the Marshall Tucker Band. In fact, he was never even a professional performer at all.
"In the early days when we were rehearsing in an old house in Spartanburg [S.C.], we found a keychain inscribed with his name. We needed a name asap ... and the rest is history!" the statement explains. "Marshall was blind since birth but amazingly could play the heck out of the piano. He always said his talent was simply God-given. He tuned pianos in South Carolina for decades.
"We are thankful for the life he lived!" the band's statement concludes. "Sending blessings to his wife and family."
The social media tribute also includes a snapshot of Tucker sitting at his piano, his hands on the keys.
Though the Marshall Tucker band have always been primarily a rock band, they have had country connections throughout their career. In recent years, they toured with acts like Charlie Daniels and Travis Tritt. Waylon Jennings and Zac Brown Band have both had charting country singles with covers of the Marshall Tucker Band's 1973 hit, "Can't You See."
Earlier in January, the band kicked off their 50th anniversary tour. The Marshall Tucker Band's current iteration consists of Marcus James Henderson, Rick Willis, Chris Hicks and B.B. Borden.

Most people when they are in a relationship they only focus on that one person and don't bother about their friends anymore. However when their relationship comes to an end they come running back to you and apologise and expect you to allow them to come back. Some people just take the friendship for granted. But people only seem to know What they had when it's all too late.
Relationships come and go, but friendships stick with you through till the end. I believe that relationships take time they don't just happen over night. Relationships will happen however you have all the time in the world for that to happen.. but friendships they just don't come and go they stick.
People seem to show their true colours when they are in a relationship as they no longer want to know you. However some people may disagree with me. But that's your opinion everyone has their own different thoughts on these things.
People say in life "there is plenty more fish in the sea" it's an old saying but it's true. They just come and go. It will take years for you to find the right one however it will just happen when you least expect it.


Dagupan, long regarded as the Philippines' leading aquaculture industry and the prime producer and exporter of the popular milkfish, is on its way to establishing itself as a major player in another sector: the IT-BPM (business process management) industry. Several factors contribute to the steady development that is leading towards this inevitable launch: the City's strategic location in Northern Luzon; the hubs of trade it has cultivated for decades especially since the expansion of local government support in 1968; the presence of prestigious educational institutions; and an abundant pool of talent recognized for their skills, solid work ethic, resilience, and capacity to adapt to the most challenging work environments. Investors and multinationals from other countries, many of whom have set up shop in the archipelago, have begun to set their sights on Dagupan City as a preferred destination of the offices they will set up in the next few years.
"Our hosting of the 1st Dagupan City ICT-BPM Conference with Industry Executives marks a new beginning, a new dedication within our city government, and a new spirit for our people.
Dagupan's promise as an IT-BPM location was confirmed last year when the Department of Information Communications Technology, the IT and Business Process Association of the Philippines, and Leechiu Property Consultants named it among the Next Wave Cities of 2015.
Our advance into the Next Wave Cities this year has all the more firmed up our resolve to mobilize Dagupan's broad base of stakeholders to showcase our city as the next frontier in terms of investment destinations among domestic and global ICT firms that have made the Philippines their ASEAN hub.
To position itself as a major ICT-BPM player in the Philippines is no longer an option for the City of Dagupan; it has become an imperative to elevate itself as much, and maximize the opportunities that it will be given.
What are the schools in the city?


My job took me to a residential part of town that I would never normally have any reason to go to. I had to go to a specific address. I found it quite easily and parked the car about twenty yards from the customers home.
I had a sense of deja vu - but an unpleasant and rather disturbing one.
I took a good look around me. I didn't know anyone who lived anywhere near here, I'd never been here before........had I? I walked up the street towards my appointment not being able to shake off this unsettling feeling that was really taking hold of me. What the hell did this street mean to me?!! Then it happened. The event had registered because I'd been with my wife at the time and even though it happened 3 years and 11 months ago it was a particularly upsetting time for both of us.
I reached the house I was due to visit and, before knocking, I turned in the direction of my parked car and looked straight at a property on the other side of the road. That was it. That was the one. The last house I'd ever called at as a JW.
hmmm.. I interesting.... I am wondering if I can even remember that last place I called on in service..
That's interesting. I too can't remember mine.
I don't remember my last house I called on either, I guess repressed memory or something or more likely no one was home. I do know that I went from pioneering and getting 70 hours a month to like 2 hours a month and then none. I sure faded fast. I think this is one of the reasons I totally lost interest. Before I knew anything else about the so called truth, I did realize it was kind of pointless to go out in service just 10 hours a week. What's the point, you can't really convert anyone with just 10 hours a week. Hey, most pioneers can't convert anyone with even 70 hours a week.
Yes, I remember that laundramat well.
kidding of course, that was a highly unusaul experience.
Wow, that's an awesome experience. Not many people would get to experience something like that by simple coincidence.
My last time in service was doing Return Visits.
I recall my last door, too.
I DA'ed the next morning.
It isn't actually as 'creepy' as you might imagine. You see, by that point I'd already dropped to a token 1 or 2 hours a month on my field service report and even that was by going 'on the doors' with my wife who would offer the latest mags. I wouldn't go with anyone else. I simply couldn't present myself as a JW anymore as I had so many doubts.
We'd been out for perhaps twenty minutes when I reached my limit. I couldn't stand the pretense and my own sense of hypocrisy any longer. We'd reached the end of a short row of terrraced houses which adjoined a small childrens play area typical of the sort you find in most New Towns. I turned to my wife and said something like; "That's it, I just can't do this anymore. I'm sorry." She didn't argue, she just said, "Let's go home."
As strange as it might sound, even at the time I remember feeling a sense of loss. I recognised that a big and, for so long, important part of my life had just come to an end. I was one of those who actually enjoyed going on Field Service - honest! I'd pioneered, done business territory, spoken in Public Schools - the lot. I was accutely aware of the house, the street, the play area and the trees. I knew that was it. You'd think that I would have felt relief but I didn't for a very long time. All I felt was loss.
Sorry for the ramble, thanks for listening.

The Neolithic Tower at Jericho
Jericho, the City of Palms: Five Questions About the City
1) How do you get to tour Jericho?
Jericho is located northeast of Jerusalem, just west of the Jordan River, and about 6 miles north of the Dead Sea. It is referred to in the Hebrew Bible as "the city of palm trees" (Deuteronomy 34:3; Judges 1:16; 3:13) because the many springs surrounding the city provide irrigation to the land producing lush vegetation. Traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, one must traverse through the desert either by driving on the Ascent of Adummim or by hiking through the Wadi Qelt. The oasis that is Jericho is a welcome sight after the harsh climate of the desert. Of course, Good Shepherd Travel can make getting there simple.
2) Who lived in Jericho?
Because of its strategic location, the city of Jericho has experienced thousands of years of settlement. The earliest settlement dates back to approximately 8,500 BC, making Jericho one of the earliest known inhabited cites in the world. A stone tower dating to the Neolithic Period provides one piece of evidence for this early settlement.
3) Who dug up the dirt?
Jericho was the second site in Israel to be excavated (Jerusalem being first) with the earliest recorded excavations taking place in 1867 and 1868 by Charles Warren. Additional excavations include those by Sellin and Watzinger (1907-1909, 1911), John Garstang (1930-1936), and Kathleen Kenyon (1952-1958). More recent excavations began in 1997. (For more information on excavations see: Wood, Bryant G. "Did the Israelites Conquer Jericho: A New Look at the Archeological Evidence." Biblical Archaeology Review 16 no 2 (1990): 44-58 and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tell_es-Sultan).
4) What happened to the walls of Jericho?
Perhaps one of the most-well known stories in the Bible is the story of the Israelite conquest of Jericho. According to the biblical text, the Lord commanded Joshua and the Israelites to march around the city walls once for six days, and on the seventh day to march around the city walls seven times with the priests blowing their rams' horns. When the people heard the sound of the horns, they were to shout a great shout and the wall of the city would fall down flat. According to the text, that is exactly what happened. (See Joshua 6:1-27. For more on the archaeology surrounding this account, see Wood, Bryant G. "Did the Israelites Conquer Jericho: A New Look at the Archeological Evidence." Biblical Archaeology Review 16 no 2 (1990): 44-58.)
5) What did Jesus do in Jericho?
Not only did Jesus heal a blind man on his way to Jericho (Luke 18:35-43), he also had dinner in the home of a tax collector, bringing salvation to his household (Luke 19:1-10). The tax collector was a man named Zaccheus whom all Sunday school children know as "a wee little man" who climbed up a sycamore tree in order to see Jesus. (Be sure to see the sycamore tree when you're there!)

Iran Execution 'Exceptionally Cruel,' Amnesty Says
RFE/RL
Rights watchdog Amnesty International says it is "outraged" at the execution in Iran of a young man convicted of a murder he committed when he was 15.
The group said in a January 30 statement that 22-year-old Ali Kazemi was hanged earlier the same day in a prison in Bushehr province.
"His execution was scheduled and carried out without any notice given to Ali Kazemi's lawyer as required by Iranian law," Amnesty said.
"By carrying out this unlawful execution, Iran is effectively declaring that it wishes to maintain the country's shameful status as one of the world's leading executers of those who were children at the time of their crime," said Magdalena Mughrabi, Amnesty International's Middle East and North Africa Deputy Director.
"This is nothing short of an all-out assault on children's rights, as enshrined in international law, which absolutely bans the use of the death penalty against someone who was under 18 years of age at the time of the crime."
Kazemi was convicted in connection with the fatal stabbing of a man during a fight in March 2011, when he was only 15.
"It is long overdue for the head of Iran's judiciary to intervene and establish an official moratorium on executions of juvenile offenders.
Iranian parliamentarians must amend the Penal Code to ban the use of the death penalty against anyone who was under 18 at the time of the offence," Mughrabi said.
Amnesty said it has found that prison officials and prosecutors in Bushehr "tormented Ali Kazemi's family by making contradictory statements as to whether and when the execution would be carried out." There was no immediate comment from Iranian officials.

The sun is just beginning to rise over the nearby mountains as diners shuffle into Egg Works, suppressing yawns, stretching their arms, and sleepily greeting friends and family. Once they find their seat, though, the energy of the restaurant seeps into their mood. Waitresses swing by to flood their cups with steaming coffee and crowd tables with plates of cheesy omelets, spicy mexican breakfasts, and the sweet and savory crepes lauded by Rachael Ray. Others bring mason jars filled with bloody marys made with Habla Diablo hot sauce and bowls of Hawaiian-style sticky-rice breakfasts. As the sun clambers up the sky, breakfast favorites accept the stomach-filling aid of burgers, sandwiches, and the chefs' renowned Cincinnati-style chili—a hearty combination of chili, oyster crackers, and spaghetti.
Diners linger over third cups of coffee at the counters and cushy green booths of the casual dining room, watching flat-screen TVs mounted to walls where hand-painted murals from local artist Mike Miller stretch out. These paintings depict classic countryside scenes, from verdant fields to rolling mountains and New York City tour groups looking very lost.

NJ Lawmakers pushing bill to ban paper and plastic bags
by Frank Bojazi / 378 views / December 6, 2019	in News and Politics , Source: whyy,
What are they doing now? Are they going to make New Jersey California again? Is NJ taking pointers from California with banning things?
New Jersey might be on the way to banning all plastic and paper bags. The ban will also include polystyrene containers and the lawmakers think this will help fix and address some of the environmental and public health issues from these items, as stated by WHYY.
They're saying the discarded plastics get in the waterways and end up being ingested by both humans and marine life.
"When they get into your body, because you're ingesting them, they also bring with them organic chemicals, some of which are carcinogenic," said state Sen. Bob Smith, D-Middlesex. "This is a public health crisis."
Where did this all come from? Well, this is all from a bill that's being pushed by the Senate Budget and Appropriations Committee who wants to ban the single-use bags, both plastic and paper, to be in effect after a one year period. They also want to ban containers, like the Styrofoam ones, but that wouldn't go into effect for at least two years.
And don't you think for one moment that they forgot about straws. Their bills will also ban plastic straws, but there's an exception that allows customers to request a straw.
But critics said the legislation was unnecessary because of advances in recycling technology. Others decried one aspect of the new proposal that would force food retailers like grocery stores to give away reusable bags for free for the first two months of the ban.
Michael DeLoreto, a lobbyist for the New Jersey Food Council, said some businesses would not recoup those costs for years.
"We just simply can't support the concept of a bag giveaway with the definition of reusable bag as defined," he said.
Governments are trending toward banning plastics and polystyrene. On Thursday, Philadelphia City Council moved one step closer to banning single-use plastic bags with a unanimous vote on an amended bill.
In New Jersey alone, about 50 cities and towns have local ordinances regulating the use of single-use plastics.
Are they giving away multiple use bags? What happens if you're the type of customer who goes food shopping for a family of five and you need like 10 bags?
What happens if people start throwing these bags away too?

In 1901, the first North of Ireland Championship is played at Belfast, and a tournament at Mullingar is also covered.
In 1902, England played Ireland at Wimbledon, winning by 5 matches to 3. The Irish team was: C. Corbally, R.N. Roper, J.R. Murphy and S.G. Butson. This could be the first croquet international match!
The South of Ireland Championship was played on 9 lawns at Fosdyke, Cork (on the cricket ground), but there were also tournaments on "Second-size lawns" (24yd by 30yd) at Rushbrooke, and later also at Muskerry, Youghal, Mallow and Lismore, and on 2 full-size lawns at Tullamore. The Irish Gold Medals were played for the first time (at Fitzwilliam).
In 1904, Rushbrooke could muster 10 lawns for their tournament (normally 3). The Secretary's name was Mrs W. Conner of Cooleen, Rushbrooke (any relation, Nan?). The Championship of Connaught was played at Galway, and won by Miss Coote. The Championship of Co. Galway was played at Athenry, and a later account of this club mentions 12 lawns! Corbally was dominant, winning the Irish Championship as well as the Athlone, Westmeath and Tullamore tournaments.
There are complaints of lawn damage caused by players practising the jump stroke for Golf Croquet, so clearly this was not banned until later (Golf Croquet or Croquet Golf, was invented in England in about 1895). Fitzwilliam held a "Horse Show Week" meeting (end of August in those days: Bank Holiday?). Prizes were a medal plus a £5 voucher for the Jeweller's.
1908 sees a mention of Malahide (sec., T.L. Plunkett, Portmarnock House), and much complaining about the condition of the Fitzwilliam courts at Wilton Place for the Irish Championship.
Leslie O'Callaghan beat W.F. Pim to win the first Croquet Championship of Co. Dublin.
Note that the handicap singles was commonly divided into two classes at this time (in this event, between handicaps 8 and 9). It was not supposed that the handicap could level the 'minus' players and the 'rabbits'.
It appears that there were seven lawns at Carrickmines at this time, and that two more were built on the highest terrace during 1911. Use was also made of Captain Wilson's private lawn at Carrickmines House – only a couple of hundred yards off, after all.
At Rushbrooke, Mrs Plant, Miss Mitchell, Mrs Murrogh, Miss Harrington and Mr fforde distinguished themselves. Fashion seems to have occupied nearly as much time as croquet, and the reporter facetiously advises ladies to send a sample of their dress material to the ball manufacturers, to ensure a perfect match!
The indefatigable S.A.W. Waters, Secretary of the Irish branch of the Croquet Association, mooted an All-Ireland Croquet Club, which was duly started, and attempted this year to make a home for it at Lansdowne Road, but insufficient funds were raised to secure the lease, and the Club set up instead at Kenilworth Square in 1910, where they played at least two meetings, the Irish Championship, and the Stonebrook Cups meeting, which was a full-scale tournament. These cups were subsequently 'permanently loaned' to Carrickmines, and are still competed for. In 1912, the Waters Cup and the East of Ireland Championship were also played at Kenilworth Square, which was the headquarters of Irish Croquet until about 1920. A photograph of competitors in an event here, the ladies resplendent in their furs, and surrounding some kind of punch-bowl affair which was obviously the prize, was in the possession of Carrickmines but has unfortunately been destroyed. Carrickmines still has the famous 'boundary ball guillotine', presented "to the Irish Associates of the Croquet Association by the Viscount Doneraile" in 1909.
At the 1910 Championship of Co. Dublin, two trophies, the Tullow Cup (Championship plate) and the Visitors' Cup (extra handicap singles draw) are mentioned, but they no longer survive.
In 1922, I find my first reference to the Championship of Ireland being played at Carrickmines, but at this point my researches were interrupted (by the bar opening), and much information yet remains to be gleaned from these valuable journals, as well as from local enquiries.


I love to play games, I have been playing them for my whole life.
At ten years old it was weird almost being eleven, yet pretty exciting to be honest. But as a ten years old I didn't know it would change my life. I was almost eleven years old when my dog Daisy was diagnosed with cancer, it was devastating news once we heard about it, and we knew Daisy wouldn't last much longer, and as my life has gotten brighter, Daisy's life grew ever darker (Btw if you don't that reference its from puss in boots). She went blind after a few days of knowing, she couldn't tell where she was going, as we move to our new house, we couldn't do anything with her, as she sat on a carpet line in the kitchen and just only went down and up that, couldn't go outside, couldn't go around the house, couldn't have one night without fear. At last we had decided, we brought her to the vet, and put her down, we couldn't see her suffer anymore. We have a bottle of hair from Daisy and kept it deeply safe, as we can always remember her as a symbol of love, honesty, caring, and respect, as we buried her outside, on our backyard surrounded it with Daisy flowers, and never to be forgotten.
I had a dog named daisy she was a German Shepard she got put down too, mainly because we was over protective and tried to attack anyone who she didn't know.
ɴɪᴄᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴍᴇᴇᴛ ʏᴏᴜ, sᴘɪᴄʏɴᴏᴏᴅʟᴇ!
Have been seeing you very active on the forums lately, and you seem very nice.
Would love to see you online in-game soon!
Anyhow, my PMS are open if you need someone to talk to, so feel free!

Scared of being visible online?
If you promised yourself that this year you'd quit your job and finally Escape the 9-5 to create your own successful business, what have you done so far?
I was chatting to a client the other day who is at the very start of her journey into entrepreneurship. She's still in her 9-5 while she builds her business on the side (which I always recommend where possible) but she's at the point now where she needs to start getting visible and she's scared to put herself out there.
I get it! I really do, but if this is a fear for you, also ask yourself where this fear is coming from?
Is it the fear of your boss finding out and you maybe being in trouble or even getting fired!!?
Is it the fear of your colleagues finding out and questioning you about it?
Is it the fear that you don't think you're good enough?
Is it the fear that you don't feel you're ready?
My dear one, you will always have fear and that's not a bad thing. If the fear feels expansive I encourage you to press on regardless.
Acknowledge the fear. Heck, even let it come along for the ride but whatever you do, don't let it take hold of the wheel and direct the decisions you make and the actions you take towards having a business you feel passionate about!
What's the worst thing that could happen if your colleagues question you about your side business?
Honestly, they're either jealous that you have the guts to go after your dreams or they're just genuinely interested in what you're doing. Hey, you might even inspire someone else at work to start their own business and through seeing you do it, it makes them feel they can too.
You can have a positive ripple effect for those around you.
The fear of failure and not being good enough, or pretty enough, or talented enough etc etc.. is simply your ego talking to you. It starts to get a bit twitchy when you attempt to push outside of your comfort zone.
There is never a right time to start a business.
I'd love for you to start to see these fears when they come up as positive, because it means you're on the right path and you're doing something that will develop you and make you grow as a business owner and an entrepreneur.
No-one is saying you need to start your business full time, right now and go all in. You can start very small, today even.
Create a closed Facebook group, decide on your business name (but don't get hung up on this!), write down what you want your business to be and who you will serve. Getting it down on paper makes it feel less overwhelming and starts to get you excited too!
There is never a perfect time as there is no such thing as perfect. All it takes is a switch in your perception. Start to see your 9-5 as your investor. This really helps when you really want to quit your job but financially, you can't just yet.
I hope this has been useful for you. I love to hear from readers so please comment below and let me know your thoughts or join me over in my Facebook group where you'll find women on the same path as you and lots more goodness!

Real soulmate love is not what you think it is. It is not a prince in shining armor coming to save you from a dragon or rescue you from your tower, it is raw, challenging, and nothing like you could ever imagine.
When I was a young girl, I thought that love was supposed to be how it is in fairytales. Sweet, romantic, and endless happiness but it isn't. Love is hard, and it isn't always flowers and chocolates, sometimes it is fighting all night and arguing over something you really don't care about or staying up just to take care of each other. It can be the best thing and the worst thing all at the same time.
Soulmate love and the love we watch on television or read about in books is not the same thing; the love we crave is nothing like our fantasies. It is something we don't know we need, but we do. It is not having control over someone or finishing each other's sentences. It is bursts of wonderfulness and pushing each other to be the best people we can be. It is sitting in our pajamas watching old movies, and working our asses off just to get by when times are tough.
Soulmate love is full of ups and downs, but it is beyond rewarding. It is finding someone you want to build your life with, someone you don't mind standing by when things are at rock bottom, and someone you won't abandon.
Soulmate love is two people working together to find out what is best for them as a couple. They journey through this life together maintaining the courage and confidence to live their lives for themselves.
We don't get to choose our soulmate, and have no control over when we meet him or her. Sometimes when our soulmate comes into our lives we aren't ready yet and it can tear our heart from our chest but in the end, we do what is best, we come back for more. Soulmate love can be painful and unpleasant sometimes, but like with all parts of life you get the good with the bad.
Soulmate love is not a guaranteed happy ending, it is knowing the risks and choosing to take them. It is a journey all in itself and definitely one worth taking. Living your life with a soulmate is one of the best decisions you will ever make. It will blossom you into someone you never thought you could be.

At this time, let's bring back our VIP, Nellie McKay, to the ASK ME ANOTHER stage.
EISENBERG: And we also have two new contestants, Judy Wolf and Cassidy Brown.
EISENBERG: Hello, hi. Judy, Cassidy, what is a song that I might find on your soundtrack.
BROWN: ...But the (singing) hot town, summer in the city, the back of my neck getting dirty and gritty.
EISENBERG: That's a good one. Great. Judy?
EISENBERG: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Those are both great songs, and that's good to know because this next game is called Songs of Summer. Jonathan, this is your department.
JONATHAN COULTON: Yes, well, every summer there is one song that you just cannot escape, that capture what it feels like to be sitting on the beach or barbecuing in the backyard. Last year is was Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe." Two hundred and fifty years ago it "Yankee Doodle Came to Town" also by Carly Rae Jepsen, weirdly.
COULTON: So in this game, Nellie and I are going to play some songs of summer gone by, and you must identify them. Here's your first question.
: (Singing) I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind. There was something so pleasant about that place. Even your emotions have an echo and so much space. Does that make me mmmm? Does that make me mmmm? Does that make me mmmm? Possibly.
WOLF: "You Make Me Crazy?"
EISENBERG: Gnarls Barkley song from 2006, although I have to say if you remember when you lost your mind, you are the sanest lunatic I have ever met.
COULTON: (Singing) Nonsense, this course is just nonsense, (unintelligible), yeah.
BROWN: By the gorgeous Hansen Brothers.
: (Singing) Sometimes you picture me, I'm walking too far ahead. You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've sad. The news say go slow, I fall behind. The second hand unwinds. If you're lost, you can look, and you will find me, blah, blah, blah, blah.
: (Singing) If you fall I will catch you, I will be waiting, blah, blah, blah, blah.
BROWN: (Singing) "Time After Time."
WOLF: OK, here we go.
EISENBERG: Oh, Judy rang in, but Cassidy got there first. Cassidy?
WOLF: (Singing) do do do.
EISENBERG: I like that Judy's doing backup for that, by the way. That was awesome.
COULTON: Oooh, ooh, nobody knows it. When I was down, I was your clown. Ooh, ooh, nobody knows it, nobody knows. Right from the start, I gave you my heart. So don't go doing this thing. I won't go doing this thing. Don't go doing this thing.
WOLF: "Don't Go Breaking My Heart."
EISENBERG: "Don't Go Breaking My Heart" is correct.
WOLF: Elton John and Kiki Dee.
EISENBERG: That's correct, yeah, for no bonus point whatsoever. That is correct. You guys were amazing. Will, how did our contestants do?
WILL SHORTZ: Cassidy was the expert at ringing in, and he's the winner.
EISENBERG: You'll be moving on to our Ask Me One More final round at the end of the show. Thank you so much, Judy, for being a great contestant, and special thanks to Nellie McKay, everybody. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.


As we pause to acknowledge and celebrate the contributions of workers on this national observance of Labor Day, it's worth pondering: What would the American labor force look like if not for the contributions of women? The short answer: It would be a shell of itself, says Jones-DeWeever. She explains why, despite the progress women have made in the workplace, the American labor market in tailored to a "Leave it to Beaver" sense of family structure that, for the most part, no longer exists.


It's a lackluster cherry-blossom season this year in that for whatever reason, the trees are not blossoming all at once but each at their own pace. Looking out the living-room window, for example, I see one tree that has been in full bloom for almost a week and the one right next to it just barely starting.
Yesterday before going to the gym, Shimada-san and I stopped by a temple near the gym that's well known for its blossoms. It was quite nice.
We strolled about on two long cherry-tree lined lanes, which sit outside the main temple area. (The two lanes intersect at the center of this map.) Most of the trees were in some stage of bloom. In the picture above, which is looking north up one of the lanes, you can see the trees on the right (background and out of focus) are not as fully in bloom as those on the left. The foreground in-focus branch is even less in bloom. But still, it was beautiful.
It was crowded, which usually means ugly, but in this case it wasn't. Perhaps because it's on a temple's grounds, no one was smoking, nor drinking, nor sitting on blue vinyl sheets eating smelly bento lunches. People were there to enjoy, and people did. I was there with my Nikon D200 and was not alone. There were a lot of very serious-looking SLR cameras, both digital and film. So, despite the crowds, the ambiance was relaxed and pleasant, and I enjoyed myself very much.
All in all, I took about 250 photos yesterday (of blossoms and of Anthony getting a haircut), so now have the pressure that I have to go through them and process them. That'll take a while, and certainly be compounded by more photos today and tomorrow and so on, but I wanted to post at least one picture which captured the mood. I chose the one above because it shows the crowds, yet exudes a feeling of calm and beauty. It also gives a sense of depth: the white puffs just go on and on and on.
The image above links to a higher-resolution version (1,600 × 1,200), which should be big enough for most desktops. If you need larger, let me know (the original is more than four times larger).
I'm now using this as my desktop background, switching from the Katsunori Shimada photo at the top of this post, which I'd been using since the fall. I'll probably switch back after a while, as I generally prefer less whiteness in my desktop background, but for now, it's all about the blossoms.
UPDATE: more cherry-blossom backgrounds from a different trip.
I'm giving the father of the groom speech at my son's wedding next August – could I have your permission to use your pic as a background?

Huawei plan to repair the British security fears in H1 this year: executive
LONDON (Reuters) – Huawei presents a plan to the address of the British security concerns about the equipment at the end of the first half of this year, a senior company executive said on Thursday, after criticism of the Chinese company has not moved fast enough to fix the issues.
FILE PHOTO: Ryan Ding, head of Huawei's carrier business group, has a Tiangang 5G base station chipset during a presentation in Beijing, China, 24 January 2019. REUTERS/Thomas Peter/Photo File
British intelligence officials said on Wednesday they had still not seen a "credible" plan by Huawei to resolve issues in a critical report from the government last year, which found that the technical and supply-chain problems with the company's equipment had exposed national telecom networks to new security risks.
Huawei previously said that the problems will take 3-5 years to resolve and Ryan Ding, head of Huawei's carrier business group, told reporters on Thursday a "broad and comprehensive" plan will be approved internally by the end of March.
"In Q2 we will start a dialogue with our stakeholders, including uk stakeholders, over a such a plan and hopefully by the end of the first half of this year we will complete the high level design of (a) plan," he said, speaking through a translator.
Great britain has emerged as a major battleground for Huawei, the world's largest producer of telecommunications equipment, in its attempts to resist the US calls allies closed the equipment over fears that it could be used by Beijing for spying.
No evidence for such claims is produced in the public and Huawei has repeatedly denied, but the allegations of espionage have led several Western countries to limit the company's access to their markets.
The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Thursday the United States, which is a member of the Five Eyes intelligence-sharing group, alongside great Britain, would not be able to share information with countries that decide to use Huawei equipment because of the security implications.
HUAWEI F. C.
Ding said Huawei was committed to the achievement of "reliability" in eight areas, including software and hardware engineering, management of third-party components and the company culture. Huawei will also spend more than the $2 billion that were originally intended worldwide for the effort, he said.
Huawei's spending pledge, announced in December, followed by a series of tense meetings with officials in great Britain, the National Cyber Security Centre (NCSC), which has problems with security in the government report in July last year.
A new British report is expected in the coming weeks. People with knowledge of the matter said it will probably be a further criticism of Huawei's seen slow response to British concerns.
Thing said that he believed that the insurance by the NCSC – in the framework of the british intelligence agency GCHQ – that its findings are not politically influenced.
Asked whether he was afraid that the political pressure would prevent that Huawei is used in great Britain is the next-generation 5G networks, Thing said that it is for operators to decide which equipment suppliers they used, but with the exception of Huawei would be like the block of top-flight teams in English football.
"I believe that the 5G market without Huawei is just like the English Premier League without Manchester United," he said.

La glucocinasa o glucoquinasa es una isoenzima tipo IV que se encuentra exclusivamente en el hígado y en células beta de los islotes de Langerhans en el páncreas. Es altamente específica, por lo que solo utiliza D-glucosa como sustrato y su afinidad por otras hexosas es mucho menor que de las otras isoenzimas (KM mayor de 10 mM).

La actividad de esta enzima depende de la glucosa disponible; es pobre a valores de glucemia normal en ayunas. A diferencia de las hexocinasas I II III no se inhibe por la glucosa-6-P producto de la fosforilación de glucosa catalizada por glucocinasa (hígado y páncreas) o hexocinasa.
