Funny, made things clear and related things to real life. The SAT / ACT course was very helpful, I don't think I would've improved my reading skills without it. This course also gave me strategies to break down a reading. I got a feel for the SAT and had practice in areas I struggled in.

Булат Манашевич Атабаев (14 мая 1952, пос. Тентек, Талды-Курганская область, Казахская ССР, СССР — 29 июля 2021, Алма-Ата, Казахстан) — казахстанский театральный режиссёр, драматург, общественный деятель, заслуженный деятель РК, активист оппозиционного движения «Халык Майданы» («Народный фронт»), член незарегистрированной оппозиционной партии «Алга!».

Уголовное преследование
Происходит из племени жалайыр Старшего жуза. Атабаев выступал с середины 2011 года перед бастующими рабочими на юго-западе Казахстана. Он посещал бастующих в нефтяном городе Жанаозене, тем самым пытаясь привлечь внимания властей к требованиям рабочих, которые призывали власть и работодателей признать их право на независимые профсоюзы, а также обеспечить их заработной платой и условиями труда, соответствующими всем международным стандартам.

Он публично протестовал против применения правоохранительными органами огнестрельного оружия в отношении бастующих рабочих и безоружных граждан во время жестоких столкновений в Жанаозене в декабре 2011 года.

Он был арестован 15 июня сотрудниками КНБ в тот момент, когда выходил из дома. Болат Атабаев объяснил, что он отказался идти на допрос из-за того, что хотел выразить протест против обвинений, выдвинутых против него, а также чтобы подчеркнуть несправедливое отношение правительства к демонстрантам и бастовавшим рабочим Жанаозена.

Он был этапирован в СИЗО города Актау 17 июня 2012 года. С осуждением ареста режиссёра выступили: уполномоченный по правам человека и вопросам международной помощи , глава Института имени Гёте , большой вклад в освобождение Атабаева из СИЗО внёс известный кинорежиссёр Ермек Турсунов. Булат Атабаев освобождён из СИЗО 4 июля 2012 года.

После освобождения несколько лет жил в Германии.

Скончался 28 июля 2021 года, похоронен на Кенсайском кладбище.

Is It Time to Put Yourself on the Gold Standard? | USMR Market Insights
Home » Videos » Is It Time to Put Yourself on the Gold Standard? | USMR Market Insights
The public is questioning whether we're going to come back to a gold standard or not. One of the reasons the U.S. Government went off of the gold standard was because the U.S. was printing so much money after Vietnam and the big space race that most countries didn't believe that we had enough gold to back what we were printing. At this point, we have printed money far beyond that amount. So if we were to go back on to a gold standard, we would probably see the prices of gold skyrocket overnight.
Is It Time to Put Yourself on the Gold Standard? – Video Transcript
Coy Wells: 00:00
Today, we're here with Mr. Patrick Brunson and we're going to continue our segment in regards to the gold standard and how it led to the massive amount of debt after the year of 1971. One of the biggest questions that we get from many consumers today, that Mr. Brunson is going to talk about is, is the gold standard going to return or is there a way that the United States can bring gold back into the picture to help get us out of the deficit? And that is probably the biggest question that many consumers and a lot of economists that are out there have discussed for a very long period of time. Most also question, that we'll be talking about today, is whether there's gold still left in Fort Knox or not. So let's start with whether there's gold still left in Fort Knox or not. Mr. Brunson, you want to give us a little insight on that?
Patrick Brunson: 00:41
That's the million dollar question. I mean, people have been asking if there's really gold there for several, several years. In fact, Nixon, I believe his administration was the last administration to actually audit the Fort Knox gold holdings. Now, Steve Mnuchin, Secretary Treasury with the Trump administration did actually visit Fort Knox and he stated last year that the gold is in fact there and that he saw with his own eyes. Now he didn't necessarily audit it, but they did count exactly how much they have there. But, there's not a full audit from what I understand on paper that's official from the government in regards to how much is actually in Fort Knox.
Right, and we also know that the World Gold Council really counts and measures the amount of gold in large transaction going from left to right. It can go for a central bank, it can also go for a country, and we know that central banks in countries who continue to buy gold, but it's not changed the amount of gold in actual holdings in Fort Knox. So one could really assume that after Steven Mnuchin's audit, the audit prior to that, that gold still is there because the World Gold Council would pick up some type of measurement of transactions left to right. The other thing that is important to understand, that Mr. Brunson's going to talk about is, is that people are talking about whether we're going to come back to a gold standard or not. And a lot of countries around the world, specifically China, has really come up with a unique way to be able to kind of, not necessarily put their currency on gold, but they've been able to back their oil reserves in gold, and most people understand that the petrodollar is what has really given, and continued life, for the U.S. dollar. Do you think, do you see the United States putting themselves on some type of gold standards like that?
It's a possibility. Personally, I think it's more of a pipe dream than anything. Reason being is gold, and a gold standard for any currency, it kind of puts a leash around the government from what they can do financially and what they can't. With nothing backing the dollar itself, it allows them to print and run up deficits and create our debt with no real repercussions, immediate repercussions, to the government itself. One of the reasons why we had to come off the gold standard is because we were printing so much money after Vietnam and the big space race that most countries didn't believe that we had enough gold to back what we were printing. Well, we've printed way beyond that at this point, way beyond that. So if we were to go back on to a gold standard, we would probably see the prices of gold skyrocket overnight.
Now, I will say that last year in March, there was a bill submitted to the house to actually put the dollar back on the gold standard. However, it's been sitting there for over a year and it has not been voted on. I don't know that it will ever even make it to the vote. And so, if they do pass this and it makes it to the president's desk, well I think that Trump would be the president to put the dollar back on the gold standard if there ever was one. However, if you look at the U.S. government's website in regards to this, they think there's a 1% chance that it will actually make it to the president's desk.
And that kind of leads us to where we're at. For someone who understands the power of gold, if you could have been able to move money into gold around the year 2000, if you would have moved what the average retirement account today in an IRA or 401K sits today at around 300,000, if you could gone back in time 18 years ago, today 300,000 in gold would be sitting at about 1.65 million. So with that being said, we may not return from a government standpoint to a gold standard, but you yourself, can put yourself on a gold standard. We always know that gold has a stored value of wealth and power, and that's really what this segment is about. A lot of consumers every single day, that's really what we stress to them, protecting the money that the government can't protect for us anymore.
So if you'd like to get more information, you can pick up U.S. Money Reserve's latest report, In Debt & Out Of Time. It talks about the $184 trillion nightmare that we now have globally, and how it can affect you in the long-term. So please click on the link below or call the number on your screen to get your copy.

28 August 2020 John Nintendo, Wii 0
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 Wii mClassic Comparison
Today we take a look at Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2! This is the Wii version of the game running on the softmodded WiiU. The Nintendo Wii doesn't output via HDMI natively so solution for this is a softmodded WiiU running the game at a native 480p and then using an mClassic HDMI add-on to upscale to 1080p. You can see in the comparison video the difference mClassic makes for these older games.
The Largest Army of Super Heroes is Back! Inspired by the acclaimed Marvel Civil War storyline, this action–RPG delivers once again on a colossal cast of characters, thrilling gameplay and impassioned alliances. This next-gen gaming experience leaves the fate of the Marvel Universe—and humankind—in your hands. Lines are drawn. Sides are chosen. And the ultimate question remains: Whose side are you on?
• Create and customize your Marvel dream team from the 26 playable heroes and villains, including Wii EXCLUSIVES Cyclops, Psylocke and Blade.
• Use your Wii Remote to unleash over 250 astonishing new fusion powers.
• Team up in Multiplayer Mode with up to 4 players.
Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 continues the four-player mayhem of the previous Marvel Ultimate Alliance and, before that, the X-Men Legends series. It is based on the Secret War and Civil War storylines from the comics. After Nick Fury leads an unauthorized super-hero assault on Latveria and a fight gone wrong kills hundreds of civilians in Connecticut, the government passes the super-human registration act, which requires all super-powered individuals to reveal their identities to the government. At one point in the story, you have to choose the pro or anti registration side and certain heroes will always be on one side or another, locking them out if you choose the other path. The game after this point changes depending on the storyline you choose.
Start with a handful of characters and can unlock more by completing bonus simulator missions, which will give you a special task like blowing up cars. There are four heroes active at all times during the game, unless they get knocked out. Each character has a health meter and a stamina meter. You can use SHIELD access points, usually at the beginning and middle of each level, to switch out characters. The stamina meter recharges on its own and controls use of powers. Each hero has a jump (which can also be used to double-jump, fly or web-swing, depending on the character), grab, quick strike and powerful strike. These can be used in combination to do things like jumping attacks, pick up an enemy, then punch them, etc. Combining these with a modifier button allows you to use powers. Each hero has a wide variety of powers. Leveling up gives you points to spend on improving the powers. You can re-assign the points and change which powers are active at any time.
Defeating enemies and smashing environment items gives you health refills and points that can be spent upgrading statistics for each hero. There are also items that you can carry that will give stat bonuses like increased HP or a bonus to a specific type of damage.
The big change over the previous game is the addition of fusions, which are two-character team-up attacks. This is controlled by a meter of four stars. You fill this by defeating enemies or finding an item that instantly fills the whole meter. You can spend one star to revive a fallen teammate or all four to perform a fusion attack. Any possible combination of two characters has their own unique fusion. There are three basic types:
There are targeted fusions, like having Things throw Mr. Fantastic at someone. These do high damage to a single target and are good for using on bosses. There are also clearing fusions, like having Storm bounce her lighting off Wolverine. These damage all enemies in a given radius. Clearing fusions are good for clearing out a clump of enemies. Finally, there are guided fusions, like Iceman and Human Torch shooting their powers at each other, then running around mowing down anyone who gets between them. These are good for clearing out scattered enemies.

CLIFTON — A hiker spotted a body in the Little Miami River in Clifton Gorge State Nature Preserve Jan. 9, prompting an investigation headed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources.
Miami Township Fire Rescue Chief Colin Altman said officials were "uncertain" whether the incident was an accident, suicide or case of foul play. He added that crews were called into action approximately 1:30 p.m. but was unsure how long the body had been there before crews arrived. Altman said it didn't seem like it had been there for days.
"Usually there's heavy traffic through here in the summer, but people like to come out here in the winter," Altman said. "We try to keep everyone from walking in the woods when it's icy like this."
Upon the body being pulled from the water and recovered from the wooded area, the coroner's office and ODNR will investigate and make a determination concerning what took place.
The Miami Township Fire Rescue, Xenia Township Fire Department, ODNR, Greene County Coroner's Office and Greene County Sheriff's Office were on scene.

The nineteenth episode of the SBS drama "The Heirs" showed Kim Nam-yoon (Jung Dong-hwan) collapsing with stroke and the company was about to be handed over to his legal wife Jeong Ji-sook (Park Joon-geum).
Kim Nam-yoon was thinking about Kim Won (Choi Jin-hyuk) and Kim Tan's (Lee Min-ho) past when he felt dizzy and collapsed. He had a stroke but his wife Jeong Ji-sook didn't appear.
She had endured being his legal wife, just in case this happened. She called in Kim Nam-yoon's brothers and said, "I have no faith in Tan and Won. I am doubtful they will run the company well. The chance you thought you lost forever, I can give it to you again. Line up to me".
She then visited the hospital later and said, "It was worth the wait. Tan's legal representative for his shares is me. That's family". Kim Tan was furious and said, "I will change my representative to Won" and she said, "Sending you and your mother out with no money is not a bad idea either".
Kim Tan went up to the rooftop with a complicated head and ran into Choi Woo-bin who was also in a mess as his father's hotel was under investigation.

It's not always easy to maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet, but with all of the great holistic and health food stores in Arizona, it's easier than ever. From distilled water to tinctures, essential oils, organic food, healthy snacks, and so much more—the best health food stores make it easy to stay on track. Here are our favorites.
Nature's Health Shoppe has been serving residents of the valley since 1986. The family owned and operated retail store spans 4,500 square-feet, and carries a wide range of herbal supplements, bulk herbs, health and beauty products, and organic foods. Have a question, or not finding something you're looking for? The friendly, knowledgeable staff are always happy to help make recommendations and will even special-order products they have in stock.
There's a reason Arizonans love Tucson Herb Store. It has a great selection of teas, tinctures, salves, sprays, and syrups—each of which has been designed with care and intention to help heal your mind and body. In addition to shop itself, the Tucson Herb Store also has an onsite clinic which offers acupuncture, herbal consults, and more, as well as informational classes to help you broaden your herbal understanding.
With its commitment to providing high-quality natural and organic health foods, Healthy Habit stands out. You won't find many name-brand products here, because Healthy Habit believes it's more important to support local businesses than huge, national brands. There are vitamins and supplements, health and beauty products, and aromatherapy products, too—all of which are organic and sourced from sound, environmentally conscious brands. Keep an eye on the events calendar, too, as the store often hosts free nutritional workshops.
As its website clearly states, Aqua Vita is the kind of natural foods market that is "a gem" to find. There's a lot on offer here: from pure, distilled water to organic produce, organic bulk herbs, organic food, natural supplements, cleaning products, and healthy snacks, to name a few. Staff is knowledgeable about the products, supportive, and friendly. It's evident from the moment you walk in that Aqua Vita's primary purpose is, in fact, to serve its surrounding community however possible.
Serving Payson and the surrounding area, Back to Basics offers health food, supplements, organic smoothies, and much more. Their mission is to offer the highest quality products at affordable prices, so everyone can get back to the basics and restore their mind, body, and soul.
Food Conspiracy is a different kind of co-op. You'll find a lot more here than just standard produce, grocery items, and dairy.

By Chris Lacey

The Washington Nationals got a great start from their rookie right-hander and coasted to an easy victory against the Atlanta Braves.
In his fourth Major League start and second straight against the Braves, Reynaldo Lopez racked up a plethora of strikeouts in another impressive outing. The lineup for the Washington Nationals did the rest, as they won the opening game of the series by a score of 8-2.
An error by Braves' left fielder Matt Kemp in the first inning on a fly ball by Anthony Rendon allowed Trea Turner and Bryce Harper to score as the Washington Nationals jumped out to a 2-0 lead.
Three innings later, Nick Markakis hit a sacrifice fly to center and the Nats lead was cut to 2-1, but Lopez had eight strikeouts after only three innings.
Jayson Werth got that run back in the fifth inning with a two-out RBI double to give the Nats a 3-1 lead. The double by Werth was significant as he tied the Washington Nationals/Montreal Expos franchise record for reaching base in 46 consecutive games.

Robert Whalen had a solid outing for his club. Whalen tossed six innings, yielded three runs (one earned), issued three walks and fanned six batters on 112 pitches (65 strikes). He lost for the second time in 2016.
Atlanta got their second run of the game in the bottom of the sixth when Kemp hit a RBI groundout to third that drove in Freddie Freeman.
As for Lopez, he delivered a superb start for the Nats. He threw seven innings, surrendered two runs (one earned), allowed four hits, walked a pair of batters, and struck out a career-high 11 on 101 pitches (73 strikes). He earned his second win of the year and his second straight against Atlanta.
Lopez reached double-digit K's for the first time in his career and became the fourth rookie in Nats history to accomplish the feat, according to William Ladson of MLB.com.
This is the 1st 10+ strikeout game of Reynaldo Lopez's career and he is just the 4th rookie in #Nats history (2005-pres.) to K 10+ in a game
— William Ladson (@ladsonbill24) August 19, 2016
Rendon earned a RBI the hard way in the eighth inning as he got hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to push the lead to 4-2.
Then, the Nationals tacked on four more runs, courtesy of a RBI single by Clint Robinson, a run-producing walk by Danny Espinosa. After Rendon scored on a passed ball and Trea Turner hit a sacrifice fly, the lead was increased to 8-2.
Next: District Daily: Nats Call Up Cole
Shawn Kelley and Mark Melancon each tossed scoreless frames in the eighth and ninth innin respectively to close out the win the for the Washington Nationals. With the win, the team's lead in the NL East over the Marlins is now 9.5 games.

Inizialmente vicino alle posizioni di Nestorio e della "scuola antiochena", nell'ambito del dibattito cristologico del V secolo confutò - come pure fece Teodoreto di Cirro - i dodici Anatematismi composti da Cirillo di Alessandria, il quale replicò accusandolo di nestorianesimo; il testo di Andrea si è conservato in modo frammentario, per tradizione indiretta, proprio nella risposta di Cirillo (Adversus Orientales). Di lui possediamo anche una decina di lettere indirizzate a vescovi suoi contemporanei.

"Stand" documents the oil spill risk to the Canadian Pacific coast if a pipeline is completed
"Stand" (2013), with the longer title "What Do We Stand to Lose?" is a 45-minute documentary, directed by Nicholas Telehrob and Anthony Bonello, about the risks to the way of life of people, especially native, along the western British Columbia coast if a pipeline is completed (by Calgary-based Enbridge, which declined interview for the film) to Kitimat, deep on an inlet. The risk is that oil tankers will traverse the region, and another Exxon-Valdez spill could occur.
The film documents a canoe or kayak journey by Norm Hamm through the at-risk area, which centers around the islands of Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands), as well as the Hecate Strait. It also moves north toward southern Alaska (toward Juneau), and south toward Vancouver Island.
The film is quite breathtaking in its scenery, although the overlays are unnecessary. There are wonderful scenes with bears, wolves that look like German shepherds, otters, and even a scene eating a sea urchin delicacy.
There is a moral point, concerning risk and potentiality. We all depend on fossil fuels for our own lifestyles, which express our identities (mine at least). But were an accident to happen, the lives of the people would be destroyed, insofar as their own personal identities are at stake, even if they were financially compensated and relocated. There would be issues already known from Exxon and particularly BP in the Gulf.
One young woman, Blake Carpenter, spoke about a 48-hour hunger strike. Others spoke about demonstrations and getting arrested. I don't do that, but that raises other questions: should I think I am above ever doing that? I thought for a moment about the 30-hour fasts that the young people of some local churches have (during which they sometimes shoot short films!)
I have reviewed a number of films about oil (including the tar sands and pipeline issues, especially fracking) and coal (including mountaintop removal) and fossil fuels in general. I've presented both or all sides to the issues that I find.
STAND Teaser from b4apres media on Vimeo.
The film is distributed by Joker Films , a Canadian company that describes itself as "a simple way to license movies" but doesn't explain how this works. I watched the film on Netflix Instant Play.
Wikipedia attribution link for map of Queen Charlotte area, by Koba-Chan, Creative Commons 3.0 Share-Alike License. Second picture is a model railroading scene showing coal operations. Note that the title.
"Stand" has been used for many films. There is a new Russian film with this title, dealing with anti-gay repression in Russia, and I am trying to find out when it will be available.

It doesn't always have to a skin-tight racing suit when you feel like going for a speedy spin on your bike. But sporty gear is certainly a good idea. After all, it's no fun if you're almost blown off your machine by the airstream at higher speeds. The right clothing should be a good, comfortable fit and, at the same time, should minimise wind resistance. The PRX-16 combination jacket from Probiker meets these criteria brilliantly, and also offers lots of protection.

Popular interactive Jim Henson exhibit heading to the Henry Ford this summer
Posted By Jerilyn Jordan on Tue, May 4, 2021 at 10:48 AM

Jim Henson with puppets from Fraggle Rock.
Finally, an exhibit that won't have playful curmudgeons Statler and Waldorf hurling criticism from the balcony, and one that is guaranteed to warm the hearts of children — and inner children alike. To quote one very animated and animal-istic percussionist: BEAT DRUMS!
The magic of the late Jim Henson, the groundbreaking puppeteer whose timeless work includes The Muppets, Sesame Street, Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, and Labyrinth, will be celebrated by a life-spanning exhibition heading to the Henry Ford in Dearborn starting June 5 through Sept. 6.
The traveling exhibition created by the Museum of the Moving Image in partnership with the Jim Henson Company, The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited, has toured the globe and will soon bring a range of artifacts from Henson's career, including more than 20 puppets, photographs, storyboards, film clips, and some of Henson's earliest concepts. There will be interactive experiences, too, which will give visitors an opportunity to craft their own Henson character creation and put their puppeteering skills to the test.
Want to know which puppets you can expect to visit with? There's a Kermit the Frog puppet from 1978; Jen and Kira from The Dark Crystal; Sesame Street favorites Grover, Ernie, Bert, and Count von Count; and from The Muppet Show, Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Beaker, and Scooter. There will be set models and storyboards from the Muppets' big screen flicks and fans of the David Bowie classic Labyrinth will have a chance to get up close and personal with some costuming from the film.
The Jim Henson Exhibition: Imagination Unlimited is free with membership or admission to the Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation, which is $25 per person. For more information regarding the exhibit, tickets, and memberships visit TheHenryFord.org.

It may sound corny but there is truly nothing more fulfilling than my role as a father. I have three amazing boys ages 2, 7 and 9 – hanging out with them makes the pace of a startup seem like a picnic. They are smart, funny, kind and constantly in motion…which is what we like.
My wife and I are very aligned in terms of parenting style. We provide guardrails but are not over-bearing. Our philosophy toward common indulgences for kids such as TV, technology, junk food is that anything in moderation is OK. This empowers them to manage behavior and we are always there to keep it in check if they have a lapse. We encourage all of their interests at this stage…from sports to arts, etc. The more well rounded, the better.
My kids have great clothes and a very unique sense of style. All of the credit for that goes to my wife – who also has great style. One loves his flat caps (ideally Miami Heat), another his gold Supra high-tops and the baby, his scary monster snow hat.
What's the one thing you can't live without as a Dad?
The New York Times recently included you in an article around the growing "Three-child household" in Manhattan, tell us about this experience of raising 3 in NYC?
In some ways it's easier – for example my wife and I both work so it makes coordination of school, activities, etc. much easier given our proximity to it all. However in other ways more difficult – living space will always be an issue relative to the burbs.
Talk to us about running a successful new company in MacK Weldon while managing Fatherhood duties.
It's full throttle all the time! But I have to say that many Mondays I find myself sitting down at my desk and saying "ahh". In all seriousness, having an extremely busy life keeps you feeling energized and sharp – especially when you are doing what you love.
Any plans for Mack Weldon Kids?
Funny you should ask – we are targeting the launch of our Mini-Mack socks in time for Father's Day (hopefully). In general though we are focused on our core market of men – 25-45+ for now – there's plenty of opportunity right here to keep us busy.

Oracle announced today that MoneyGram International Inc., the second-largest money transfer company in the world with $1.45 billion in annual revenue, has implemented Oracle HCM Cloud to overhaul its human resources (HR) operations and reduce administrative processes to be more efficient. Reports that previously took 40-hours to produce can now be completed in 80 percent less time.
Serving more than 350,000 agent locations in more than 200 counties, MoneyGram was in need of a global tool that could accommodate the needs of its nearly 3,000 employees. The existing system required too many spreadsheets, and manual processes that were complex and did not scale. MoneyGram managers struggled to keep up with changing market demands and additions to new products and services for the sales team. The lack of a central global data storehouse for employee records and business information made it difficult to generate reports or analyze market opportunities.
Previously using a manual, on-premise service, MoneyGram opted for Oracle's Cloud technology for its scalability and worldwide presence to help accommodate various country-specific HR issues and help streamline its global operations. MoneyGram selected Oracle HCM Cloud with specific functionalities including, Global HR, Payroll (U.S.), Workforce Compensation, Goal and Performance Management, Talent Review and Succession, and Recruiting and Onboarding. The Oracle implementation changed 25 percent of MoneyGram's transactional infrastructure, executives said.
The Oracle platform is delivering important time-saving benefits in the first year of implementation. Other benefits include savings in cost and the consolidation of multiple outdated and non-integrated legacy systems. MoneyGram executives estimate that the company has the potential to save millions of dollars by retiring outdated systems and transitioning to Oracle HCM Cloud.


Lots of goodies are inside Louis Vuitton's Black Inclusion Ring and with the black background they really do show well! Coming with a pouch, it's been worn. Black resin with a clear top, there are green, gold, and pink crystals, as well as gold logos and flowers. A domed delight!

The Witcher: Henry Cavill suffered a hamstring injury during filming
fashion (fashion) Thursday 07th January 2021 06:01 PM
Henry Cavill has confirmed he sustained a hamstring injury while filming The Witcher's second season.
The actor, 37, took to Instagram on Thursday to give fans an update on his health, explaining that he hurt his hamstring prior to the UK's third lockdown.
Over the past few months, Henry has been busy on set shooting for the Netflix hit's forthcoming season, and it was reported in December that he had hurt his leg during a scene while working from 20ft in the air.
Getting better: Henry Cavill confirmed on Thursday that he suffered a hamstring injury while filming The Witcher's second season as he took 'major step' in his recovery by going for a jog
Sharing a selfie where he wore a blue camouflage-print face mask after a jog, he said the exercise was a 'major step' in his recovery.
He explained to fans: 'We are in lockdown here the UK so I'm using my once a day outdoor exercise to go for my first jog since my hamstring injury! (More on that another time).
'It wasn't fast, and it certainly was far, but it has been a major step in my recovery, and my first step to getting back into the groove after a Christmas that may have involved more than a few cups of mulled wine, and an exceptionally fat Turkey.'

Sea Shepherd Assists Liberian Coast Guard Against Illegal Fishing
Posted: 29th Mar 2017 | Written By: Heather Stimmler
On 21 March, following intelligence that a refrigerated cargo vessel was believed to be transmitting a fraudulent identity outside the Port of Monrovia, the Liberian Coast Guard was assisted by Sea Shepherd crew, Israeli maritime advisors and marine conservationists in boarding the 93m Sierra Leone flagged motor vessel M/V Lian Run.
The AIS navigational aid was transmitting an IMO number that did not exist in any records. IMO numbers are unique identifiers linked to a vessel throughout its lifetime to improve the safety of life at sea and to assist in reducing maritime fraud.
The M/V Lian Run has a history of illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing activity has already been detained five times in the past five years. During this inspection, the vessel was found to be carrying 460 tons of fish cargo on board, intended for offload in the Port of Monrovia.
Liberian Coast Guard approaching the Reefer M/V Lian Run
The captain of the M/V Lian Run was unable to provide a cargo manifest for the fish, a document required by law to determine its origin.
The captain subsequently claimed the fish had been transshipped from four vessels belonging to the 'Lian Run' fleet, but no documentation or fishing licenses could be presented to back this up.
"Refrigerated cargo vessels are a major contributor to IUU fishing as they are used to launder the catch of IUU fishing vessels. On these so-called reefers, legal catch can be mixed with illegal catch, and catch origin can be impossible to deduce. Laundering fish is easier than laundering money. Thus, vessels transshipping fish at sea must be able to prove the origin of the fish by carrying on board copies of the fishing licenses of catch vessels," said campaign leader Captain Peter Hammarstedt.
Sea Shepherd and Liberian Coast Guard boarding the M/V Lian Run
The Liberian Coast Guard ordered the vessel to be arrested on suspicion of identity fraud and IUU fishing while the origin of the fish is investigated.
"To address IUU fishing, we must go after the vessels actively engaged in the illegal fishing activity, as well as the vessels that support that criminal activity. In Liberia, I have instructed the Coast Guard to target every link in the criminal chain, including these mother ships, that make fishery crime possible," said the Minister of National Defense, Brownie Samukai.
Since February this year, under the name 'Operation Sola Stella', Sea Shepherd been assisting the Liberian Government to tackle IUU fishing by providing the use of one of its vessels, the M/Y Bob Barker, to act as a civilian offshore patrol vessel in Liberian waters, directed by the Liberian Ministry of National Defense. So far patrols have resulted in the arrest of four IUU fishing vessels.

Developing countries are particularly vulnerable to IUU fishing, which accounts for as much as 40% of the fish caught in West African waters.
Last year Sea Shepherd also partnered with the Government of Gabon for 'Operation Albacore', which resulted in the inspection of over 40 fishing vessels at sea, and the arrest of three IUU Congolese fishing trawlers and one Spanish long-liner.
Operation Sola Stella is a continuation of Sea Shepherd Global's commitment to actively support national governments and their Law Enforcement Agencies in the fight against IUU fishing.
More on Operation Sola Stella.

According to research from Pew Research Center's Internet and Technology branch, plenty of seniors are discovering the benefits of the internet. More than 67 percent of seniors say they go online, and around 40 percent own smartphones. If any residents of Bethesda Gardens in Monument haven't discovered the perks of the internet or are unsure how to access it, they can visit the computer center and ask Monument staff for help.
Here are some online resources you might want to check out if you're not already using them.
While there are dozens of platforms to choose from, Facebook is probably the best option for older adults who are new to social media. Facebook moves at a slightly slower rate than platforms such as Twitter, and you're more likely to find your friends and old classmates here than on Snapchat or other platforms that cater to younger audiences.
Safety should always be a concern when you're connecting with people online. Make sure your privacy settings are always on high, and if you're not sure how to do that, ask for help from a relative, a friend or an assisted living staff member.
The internet is a wealth of information, but you do have to know where to go to get the good stuff. Because the web is also a hotbed of misinformation. Here are some great informative sites for seniors.
AARP. The senior service organization offers plenty of free resources on its site, including helpful articles. Members can sign in online to access additional resources.
Savvy Senior. This is the home of Jim Miller, who writes a syndicated column for seniors. You can find a huge archive of his helpful columns and other resources here.
National Institute on Aging. The NIA offers numerous articles and resources for seniors on a bevy of relevant topics and also provides links to government agencies and programs that may be helpful to seniors.
In addition to connections and information, the internet provides plenty in the way of fun. Seniors may be interested in online game opportunities. While you can play the types of heavy adventure and role-playing games that your grandkids might have shown you (there's no age limit on fun!), many seniors prefer puzzle, word or trivia games. You can find a great list of these types of games from Guide for Seniors, or simply browse your smartphone's app store for free game options. While gaming might seem like a frivolous endeavor, these types of games can be good for your memory and cognitive function, especially if you put some limits on how much time you spend with your device.

The Teaching Of Topsnik 1 – 2014 | TaxConnections is a where to find leading tax experts and tax resources worldwide.
This is part of a series of posts on: (1) tax residency, (2) the use of treaty tiebreakers when an individual is a tax resident of more than one jurisdiction and (3) how to use treaty tiebreakers to end tax residency in an undesirable tax jurisdiction.
The 2014 decision in Topsnik is an interesting example of how these components interact. Mr. Topsnik was given a Green Card in 1977. He moved from the United States in 2003 and did NOT formally abandon his Green Card. He then attempted to argue that because he was a tax resident of Germany that he could use a treaty tie breaker to argue that he was NOT a U.S tax resident.
1. Was Mr. Topsnik a U.S. tax resident?
Because Mr Topsnik never formally abandoned his Green Card (as required by the regulations) that he WAS a U.S. tax resident for ALL relevant years. This meant that he was taxable in the United States on all of his world income.
(1)Green card test. An alien is a resident alien with respect to a calendar year if the individual is a lawful permanent resident at any time during the calendar year. A lawful permanent resident is an individual who has been lawfully granted the privilege of residing permanently in the United States as an immigrant in accordance with the immigration laws. Resident status is deemed to continue unless it is rescinded or administratively or judicially determined to have been abandoned.
(2)Rescission of resident status. Resident status is considered to be rescinded if a final administrative or judicial order of exclusion or deportation is issued regarding the alien individual. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "final judicial order" means an order that is no longer subject to appeal to a higher court of competent jurisdiction.
(3)Administrative or judicial determination of abandonment of resident status. An administrative or judicial determination of abandonment of resident status may be initiated by the alien individual, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), or a consular officer. If the alien initiates this determination, resident status is considered to be abandoned when the individual's application for abandonment (INS Form I-407) or a letter stating the alien's intent to abandon his or her resident status, with the Alien Registration Receipt Card (INS Form I-151 or Form I-551) enclosed, is filed with the INS or a consular officer. If INS replaces any of the form numbers referred to in this paragraph or § 301.7701(b)-2(f), refer to the comparable INS replacement form number. For purposes of this paragraph, an alien individual shall be considered to have filed a letter stating the intent to abandon resident status with the INS or a consular office if such letter is sent by certified mail, return receipt requested (or a foreign country's equivalent thereof). A copy of the letter, along with proof that the letter was mailed and received, should be retained by the alien individual. If the INS or a consular officer initiates this determination, resident status will be considered to be abandoned upon the issuance of a final administrative order of abandonment. If an individual is granted an appeal to a federal court of competent jurisdiction, a final judicial order is required.
Green Card holders must understand that they do NOT end their status as U.S. tax residents by leaving the United States and taking up residence in another country! Specific steps (related to notification) are required.
2. Could Mr. Topsnik use the treaty tiebreaker to argue that he was a tax resident of Germany and NOT a tax resident of the United States?
No. The use of a treaty tiebreaker requires that an individual be a tax resident of both countries. In this case the treaty tie breaker could be used ONLY if Mr. Topsnik was a tax resident of both Germany and the United States. The court held that Mr. Topsnik was NOT a tax resident of Germany but was a tax resident of the United States.
Note that the fact that Mr. Topsnik was NOT a tax resident of Germany meant that he was NOT eligible to use the tax treaty tie breaker rules. Eligibility to use the tax treaty tie breaker rules would NOT guarantee that Mr. Topsnik would be a German tax resident.
Conclusion: Mr. Topsnik was ONLY a U.S. tax resident and was therefore taxable in the United States on his world income!
Moral of the story: If a Green Card Holder ceases to reside in the United States he as NOT ended his status as a U.S. tax resident.
Q. A Green Card gives a person the right to live permanently in the United States of America. Should the person be subject to taxation as a resident, even if the person does NOT actually reside in the United States or had lost the right to live in the U.S. under the immigration laws?
The 2014 Topsnik decision (see the link below) reminds us of this principle.
In 2004, P, a German citizen, made an installment sale of his stock in a U.S. corporation, and he received payments in 2004-09 (years in issue) pursuant to a promissory note executed in connection with the sale. The 2004 payments consisted of a large downpayment and four smaller, equal monthly payments, which continued throughout 2005-09. He filed U.S. individual income tax returns for 2004 and 2005 on which he erroneously reported identical portions of the gain. He did not file U.S. returns for 2006-09. R challenged P's installment sale reporting for 2004 and 2005 and filed substitutes for returns for 2006-09 on which he included in P's income appropriate portions of P's installment sale gain. R alleges that P is liable for income tax deficiencies for 2004 and 2006-09, almost entirely attributable to the gain on his installment sale of stock, additions to tax under I.R.C. sec. 6651(a)(1) and (2) for 2004 and 2006-09, and an addition to tax under I.R.C. sec. 6654 for 2005, all of which were included in a jeopardy assessment pursuant to which R levied on the installment payments due P in partial satisfaction of P's liabilities.
-2 alleges that, during the years in issue, he was a German resident and a U.S. nonresident alien, having "informally" abandoned his status as a lawful permanent resident (LPR) (i.e., a resident alien taxable on his worldwide income) in 2003 and, therefore, was not subject to U.S.taxation pursuant to arts. 4 and 13 of the U.S.-Germany Income Tax Treaty (treaty). R counters that (1) because P did not formally abandon his LPR status (obtained in 1977) until 2010, he remained an LPR during the years in issue and (2) because he was not taxable by Germany as a German resident during those years, he was not a German resident under art. 4 of the treaty.
Therefore, he was not exempted from U.S. taxation by the treaty. P also alleges that, because R moved to dismiss P's 2011 Federal District Court suit to review R's jeopardy assessments and levies encompassing the years in issue, in part, for lack of venue on the ground that P was a resident of Germany, R is now judicially estopped from arguing that P was not a German resident during the years in issue.
1. Held: Because Topsnik did not formally abandon his LPR status pursuant to sec. 301.7701(b)-1(b)(1) and (3), Proced. & Admin. Regs., until 2010, P remained an LPR during the years in issue, taxable by the United States on his worldwide income, including the gain on his 2004 installment sale of stock.
2. Held, further, LPR status for Federal income tax purposes turns on Federal income tax law and is only indirectly determined by immigration law.
3. Held, further, because P was not subject to German taxation as a German resident during the years in issue, he was not a German resident pursuant to art. 4 of the treaty and, therefore, is not exempted by the treaty from U.S. taxation during those years.
4. Held, further, as a U.S. but not a German resident, P is taxable by the United States, pursuant to art. 13, para. 5 of the treaty, on his gain recognized during the years in issue from his 2004 installment sale of stock in a U.S. corporation.
5. Held, further, because the prior Federal District Court litigation concerned only P's status as a German resident for a year after the years in issue, R is not estopped from asserting that P was not a German resident under the treaty during the years in issue.
6. Held, further, R's additions to tax sustained except for the I.R.C. sec. 6651(a)(2) addition to tax for 2004, which must be recalculated.
This concludes our discussion of the 2014 Topsnik case AKA Topsnik 1.
(section 9 of the Fiscal Code) is located in the Federal Republic of Germany are subject to unlimited tax liability.
Assuming the US-German Tax treaty allows for FTCs, if Mr. Topsnik HAD reported the income/paid the tax to Germany, it would seem the US could not deny any use of the Tax Treaty. It is clear he WAS a German resident. I am presuming he did not pay any tax on this income and would expect the Germans would have grounds to claim it. Then the use of the tiebreaker would come into play, no? If he paid no tax at all to anyone, he does not have my sympathy.
Nonetheless the point of the post is the ridiculous extension of "residence" claimed by the U.S. Certainly Mr. Topsnik could not enter the U.S. 2 years after leaving as his Green Card status would have been jeopardized. He would not legally be in the U.S. His only "benefit" would be exactly what? Once outside the U.S. for a full year, the "card" no longer is valid for re-entry into the U.S. That sounds like loss of resident status to any reasonable person. The government should not have the sort of "loopholes" to go after people for tax when it is forever claiming people take advantage of such things to avoid tax.

2004 Ch. Haut-Bailly, Pessac-Léognan
Red | Ready, but will keep | Code: 1048 | 2004 | France > Bordeaux > Pessac-Leognan | Cab.Sauvignon Blend | Medium Bodied, Dry | 12.5 % alcohol
Experts on the subject of soil will tell you that Haut Bailly boasts one of the finest terroirs in the Pessac-Leognan appellation. The wine made here has always been fine but in recent years it has reached a new level of excellence, rivalling some of the great Haut-Medoc Cab. Sauvignon-dominated wines. For me this new departure began with the 2004 vintage, not hailed as a great vintage in Bordeaux but bearing the hallmark of what the British call a "classic vintage", meaning a wine of finesse and elegance, with cool, sweet fruit supported by ripe tannins and balancing acidity. A joy to drink now and over the next 8 years.
Bottle 12 x 75cl 1cs
The Wine Advocate - The 2004 Haut-Bailly is a candidate for the finest wine of the appellation. Its dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by classic aromas of scorched earth, sweet black currants, cherries, and a hint of pain grille. Light on its feet, but substantially flavored, it possesses stunning purity, good acidity, ripe tannin, and abundant flavor as well as length. It builds incrementally and subtly in the mouth, but its the real deal. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2024.
Robert M. Parker, Jr. - 29/06/2007
Wine Spectator - The say that all the investment and changes at the estate came through here. Wonderful nose of flowers, blueberries, currants and cigar tobacco. Superb nose. Full-bodied, with super-racy tannins and a long, caressing fine. This is refined and very beautiful with loads of class. Give it time. Good value, I assume.
James Suckling - Uncorked - America the Beautiful in Bordeaux - Winespectator.com- June 09
Parker - A superb success, the 2004 exhibits exceptional concentration, elegance, and an almost surreal finesse-infused character along with firm tannin, sweet, concentrated red currant, black currant, and cherry fruit, and subtle notes of spicy new oak. Displaying fresh acidity as well as remarkable intensity and persistence in the mouth, and medium-bodied, concentrated flavors, it should reach full maturity in 5-7 years, and last for two decades or more.
Robert Parker - Wine Advocate -Jun 06
Cab.Sauvignon Blend
Cabernet Sauvignon lends itself particularly well in blends with Merlot. This is actually the archetypal Bordeaux blend, though in different proportions in the sub-regions and sometimes topped up with Cabernet Franc, Malbec, and Petit Verdot.
In the Médoc and Graves the percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend can range from 95% (Mouton-Rothschild) to as low as 40%. It is particularly suited to the dry, warm, free- draining, gravel-rich soils and is responsible for the redolent cassis characteristics as well as the depth of colour, tannic structure and pronounced acidity of Médoc wines. However 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines can be slightly hollow-tasting in the middle palate and Merlot with its generous, fleshy fruit flavours acts as a perfect foil by filling in this cavity.
In St-Emilion and Pomerol, the blends are Merlot dominated as Cabernet Sauvignon can struggle to ripen there - when it is included, it adds structure and body to the wine. Sassicaia is the most famous Bordeaux blend in Italy and has spawned many imitations, whereby the blend is now firmly established in the New World and particularly in California and Australia.
In 1986 a new communal district was created within Graves, in Bordeaux, based on the districts of Pessac and Léognan, the first of which lies within the suburbs of the city. Essentially this came about through pressure from Pessac-Léognan vignerons, who wished to disassociate themselves from growers with predominately sandy soils further south in Graves.
Pessac-Léognan has the best soils of the region, very similar to those of the Médoc, although the depth of gravel is more variable, and contains all the classed growths of the region. Some of its great names, including Ch. Haut-Brion, even sit serenely and resolutely in Bordeaux's southern urban sprawl.
The climate is milder than to the north of the city and the harvest can occur up to two weeks earlier. This gives the best wines a heady, rich and almost savoury character, laced with notes of tobacco, spice and leather. Further south, the soil is sandier with more clay, and the wines are lighter, fruity and suitable for earlier drinking.

"Hiawatha (A Summer Idyl)" is a song written by Neil Moret (Charles N. Daniels) in 1901. James J. O'Dea (1870–1914) added lyrics in 1903 and the music was re-subtitled "(His Song to Minnehaha)".

"Hiawatha" sold half a million copies after release. It has been recorded numerous times and started a decade long fad for "Indian" songs.

"Hiawatha" was named for Hiawatha, Kansas, not for Longfellow's poem.

IPOB Leader Nnmadi Kanu May Have Been Killed - Lawyer
Barrister Ifeaniyi Ejiofor, representing the leader of IPOB, Nnamdi Kanu has claimed that his client was abducted by military operatives on September 14 or may probably be killed.
Ejiofor made the allegation in statement on Tuesday issued in reaction that Kanu has gone into hiding
The statement as reported by Dailypost reads in part:
"I have no doubt whatsoever that stories making round that my Client has fled outside Nigeria, were planted to divert attention from their murderous raid on my client's house.
"I made last contact with my client few minutes into the bloody onslaught in his home on the 14th day of September 2017. Till date, I have not established further communication with him.
"The soldiers must have made possible contact with him on this 14th day of September 2017, when they invaded his house on a bloody raid, and by virtue of which position, they should tell the world if he was caught by fire of bullets in the hit of the bloody onslaught or he was arrested alive.
"In all probability, my client may have been killed by the invading soldiers who are now seeking ways to fool the world into believing that he has left the country. My request is that the military should produce my client wherever they kept him and stop diverting attention of the public," Ejiofor said.
