Wa$ted! (U.S. TV series)
Wa$ted!
Wa$ted! (New Zealand)
Wa$ted! is an American reality series which ran on Planet Green and was hosted by Annabelle Gurwitch and Holter Graham. It originated from a television show from New Zealand by the same name.
Six episodes were shown on TLC before the show was moved to Planet Green. Those six episodes were then reordered with the four remaining in the first season causing some to confuse their original airdate.
The show opens with the hosts giving the family or business an overview of their wasteful life and returning to them months worth of their own trash. They then have to sort through it and are shown all the hazardous, recyclable, and reusable items they have wasted. Next they examine the house and point out faults such as heating, aging machines, lights and televisions being on, automobiles, and water use among other things.
Based on all this, an ecological footprint is created to show how many acres it takes to sustain the household. The hosts then help the family or business implement greener alternatives and change their wasteful habits. They also promise to match the amount that they save in utilities and the like by projecting the totals forward for one year.

Wa$ted! is a New Zealand reality television series which shows families their impact on the environment and helps them to become greener in their daily lives. The show has been acclaimed as the first show of its type. Even in production, they reduce their impact on the earth by using hybrid cars, crew carpooling, and reusing props.
The series shown in 15 countries outside of New Zealand. Wa$ted was also produced as a television show in the United States, Canada, Spain, Denmark, Portugal, and Malaysia.
The show starts with Francesca and Tristan returning one year's worth of rubbish to the family. From here, they filter through the rubbish with the family to show them what they could have recycled and what environmental impact their rubbish is doing. Taking into account rubbish, electricity, water, and transportation, an ecological footprint is calculated to show how much land it would take to provide the resources for their household. They also calculate how many tones of carbon dioxide the family would emit in a year, comparing it to the national average (in New Zealand its 2.5 tones per person per year).

Q: Boost system 1.69.0 not header only? Boost system is a header only library since 1.69.0. However, linking against libboost_filesystem.so.1.69.0 gives these linker errors:
ld: libboost_system.so.1.69.0, needed by libboost_filesystem.so.1.69.0, not found (try using -rpath or -rpath-link)

which suggest that I still need to link against libboost_system.so, even though it is supposedly header only. Do I need to set some special flags when building Boost itself to get a truly header only system library?

A: Boost system is now indeed header-only, but provides a stub for backward compatibility with projects that require such a library.

Boost.System is now header-only. A stub library is still built for compatibility, but linking to it is no longer necessary.

It may be that Boost FileSystem is not yet updated to remove the stub as indicated on line: https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/blob/develop/build/Jamfile.v2#L29

Candy Business
At Schimpff's Confectionery, candy is the family business.

Warren and Jill Schimpff have been making candy for years now. Each day they wake up in their apartment, conveniently located right above their family owned candy shop Schimpff's Confectionery and head to work.
Their day consists of red hot candy making demonstrations, the shop's signature creation. They give tours of their vintage shop and candy memorabilia museum, located in Jeffersonville, Indiana, to crowds of fascinated tourists. They feed meals and bags of chocolate treats to hungry locals.

Schimpff's Confectionery has been serving up homemade candy, treats and hot meals since 1891. Warren and Jill are the third generation of Schimpff's to own the shop.
The confectionery is a candy lovers dream. Picture your local soda shop, candy store, museum and all-around community hang out wrapped into one. When you enter, the aroma of freshly made cinnamon red hot candies welcomes you, a sure sign you're at Schimpff's. Rows and rows of handmade chocolates and toffees line the glass display boxes.

Their website boasts an extensive list of recognitions. It has been listed in "Louisville Business First" as one of the area's top 20 for-profit attractions and national media such as The Food Network, The History Channel/"Modern Marvels" and Paula Deen have focused their attention on Schimpff's.
The couple, Warren, 76, and Jill, 74, went to school all their lives together and started dating when they went to their respective universities. Warren has a PhD in environmental chemistry from the University of Michigan. He comes from a family of chemists, his mother and father both working in the field.
"It's a big family of chemists," Jill said. "They're all interested in how things work."
Warren said he peaked an interest in candy making and antique candy making machinery in his teenage years when he would visit the shop during the holidays.
"I fell in love with the antique equipment and never gave it up," Warren said. "After Jill and I got our degrees, we spent a year and a half in Sweden. I did a post doc there and we came back and my aunt invited us to come spend time at the candy store while we were looking for jobs."
Warren's aunt and uncle, Catherine and Sonny Schimpff, ran the shop until they passed away in the late 80s. Catherine had encouraged Warren and Jill to help them at the confectionery upon their return from Sweden.
"Warren's aunt said 'You're just sitting on your dumps writing resumes? You can come down here and help us and be useful,' " Jill said.
And useful the Schimpffs were. They began helping with the candy making process in further detail, as Warren became increasingly fascinated with the antique machinery. The couple bought the shop in its 99th year to try and preserve the legacy their previous family members built.

"We just couldn't see it not be around," Warren said. "So we bought the business to keep it in the family and keep history alive. Keep community history alive. For 10 years, we commuted back and forth from California to keep the business going."
Generations of families from the Louisville area have been coming to Schimpff's, starting from when they were children to now going to visit with their own grandchildren. Local Brent Morris began visiting Schimpff's when he was a child.
"We had my grandson's ninth birthday here on Tuesday," Morris said. "It was a great time. The shop has made an impact on this community just by being here. It's a nice place to come in and just browse around. There's tons of interesting stuff in the museum."
Meredith Shephard, 17, is a candy maker at Schimpff's. Her and her sisters are triplets, part of the sixth generation of Schimpffs working at the shop. She said she enjoys making chocolates on her spring break.

"I like making derby mints the best," Shephard said. "I've been coming around here for a long time. People like that its traditional and older. A lot of our stuff is handmade and people can tell through our demos."
Schimpff's brings in visitors from all around the U.S. and the globe, some as far as Ecuador. "They come from all over," Jill said.
Warren and Jill said they're grateful they don't work office jobs sitting at a desk all day. "There aren't too many people who have jobs where on a daily basis they get thanks," Jill said.
Steve Shephard, father of the triplets who work at the shop, will be taking over for Warren and Jill once they retire as owners. The sweet traditions at Schimpff's don't seem to be slowing down anytime soon.
Warren said, "We wanted to see if we could have an effect on the community by keeping the family business going, and it's obvious we have had an effect."

The results of NASA GISS's climate model, oft-cited as proof of global warming, are thus still questionable since the model is almost certainly full of bugs.
Pointing all this out, particularly on RealClimatologists.org, is how I became known as a climate change denier.
In 2018, over 500 scientific papers were published that cast doubt on the position that anthropogenic CO2 emissions function as the climate's fundamental control knob…or that otherwise serve to question the efficacy of climate models or the related "consensus" positions commonly endorsed by policymakers and mainstream media sources.
For those still blindly banging the '97%' drum, here is a in-no-way-comprehensive list of the SCIENTISTS who publicly disagree with the current consensus on climate change –namely the IPCC's catastrophic conclusions.
There are currently 85 names on the list. Though it is embryonic and dynamic.
Suggestions for omissions and/or additions can be added to the comment section below and, if validated, will serve to update the list.
— scientists that have called the observed warming attributable to natural causes, i.e. the high solar activity witnessed over the last few decades.
Khabibullo Abdusamatov, astrophysicist at Pulkovo Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
Sallie Baliunas, retired astrophysicist, Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics.
Timothy Ball, historical climatologist, and retired professor of geography at the University of Winnipeg.
Ian Clark, hydrogeologist, professor, Department of Earth Sciences, University of Ottawa.
Vincent Courtillot, geophysicist, member of the French Academy of Sciences.
Doug Edmeades, PhD., soil scientist, officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit.
David Douglass, solid-state physicist, professor, Department of Physics and Astronomy, University of Rochester.
Don Easterbrook, emeritus professor of geology, Western Washington University.
All climate models (simulations) used by the IPCC run 'too hot' versus observations. The computer simulations project future warming (thus being the rationale for global warming climate policies) show significantly higher temperatures than what is being observed. Only the Russian climate model and satellite/weather balloon data closely match present temperatures in the lower troposphere. This suggests that most climate models ascribe too great an effect of warming (climate sensitivity) to carbon dioxide.
This means the climate models should not be used to set public policy.
Much of my rebuttal was put together from prior WUWT posts on this subject, there's at least one new addition to the vast evidence of scientific division (Stenhouse et al., 2017).
Stenhouse et al., 2014 told us that atmospheric scientists are very divided on climate change over the past 150 years.
89% × 59% = 52%… A far cry from the oft claimed 97% consensus.
In media interviews or discussions with the public, the most frequent opening challenge is; "But don't 97% of scientists agree?" It is usually said obliquely to imply that you know a lot, and I don't understand, but I assume you are wrong because you are in the minority. I don't attempt to refute the statistics. Instead, I explain the difference in definitions between science and society. Then I point out that the critical 97% figure is that at least 97% of scientists have never read the claims of the IPCC Reports. How many people reading this article have read all the IPCC Reports, or even just one of them? If you have, it is probably the deliberately deceptive Summary for Policymakers (SPM). Even fewer will have read the Report of Working Group I: The Physical Science Basis. Naively, people, especially other scientists, assume scientists would not falsify, mislead, misrepresent, or withhold information. It is worse, because the IPCC deliberately created the false claim of consensus.
A claimed nearly unanimous scientific consensus on fear of climate change has caused a push to substantially reduce or even eliminate the use of fossil fuel in favor of solar and wind.
But three crucial questions are: 1) is the scientific community really united? 2) can solar and wind take over any time soon to provide the required vital energy for the maintenance of modern civilization in today's world of 7 billion people?, and 3) has CO2 caused any harm yet? The answer to all three questions is no.
A major theme of this essay is that many assertions can easily be checked out by a simple Google search.
A new study by climatologists Nicholas Lewis and Judith Curry concludes that Earth's "equilibrium climate sensitivity" (ECS) to more atmospheric carbon dioxide is as much as 50% lower than climate alarmists have been claiming. That their paper was published in the Journal of Climate suggests that the asserted "97% consensus" of climate experts may be eroding.
Or as Cornwall Alliance founder Cal Beisner puts it (paraphrasing Winston Churchill) it may not be the beginning of the end of climate alarmism. But it could be the end of the beginning of alarmism as the dominant, ever-victorious tenet of our times.
15 000 scientifiques lancent un cri d'alarme sur l'état de la planète à la COP23. Penchons-nous sur la rigueur de leur démarche.
Introduction: EIKE against the World?
Zero Hour for Climate Alarmists?
Debate and controversy concerning the issue of climate change generally results in the hindering and obstruction of social and governmental action on this issue. This paper analyses the scientific background, i.e. the reference list of the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report ''The Physical Science Basis'' and an alternative climate change report of a US think tank institute ''Climate Change Reconsidered II. Physical Science''.
The period from 2000 to 2016 shows a modest warming trend that the advocates of the anthropogenic global warming theory have labeled as the "pause" or "hiatus." These labels were chosen to indicate that the observed temperature standstill period results from an unforced internal fluctuation of the climate (e.g. by heat uptake of the deep ocean) that the computer climate models are claimed to occasionally reproduce without contradicting the anthropogenic global warming theory (AGWT) paradigm. In part 1 of this work, it was shown that the statistical analysis rejects such labels with a 95% confidence because the standstill period has lasted more than the 15 year period limit provided by the AGWT advocates themselves.

De Buckhorst was een havezate bij Zalk in de gemeente Kampen. Deze bevond zich in de buurt van de huidige Vinkensteeg.

Historie
De Buckhorst was een voormalig roofridderslot en werd voor het eerst genoemd in 1224. Het burcht werd in dat jaar door de bisschop verwoest. Diedric en Wermbolt van Buckhorst werden destijds genoemd als ridders en getuigen bij een geschil tussen Godfried van Rhenen, de bisschop van Utrecht en graaf Floris van Holland. In 1338 is het Jan van Buckhorst die in de elf jaar durende opvolgingsstrijd partij koos voor de wettige erfgenaam Reinoud van Gelre, die in strijd was met zijn jongere broer Eduard van Gelre.

In 1405 woonde er wederom een Johan van Buckhorst op het kasteel, hij bekleedde de functie van drost van Coevorden en Drenthe. Een van de volgende bewoners van Buckhorst was Willem van Buckhorst. Hij overleed in 1501, nadat hij twee keer getrouwd was geweest en uit elk huwelijk een zoon had. Tussen deze zoons ontstond opnieuw een twist om de erfopvolging van de havezate. Johan, de oudste, kreeg het kasteel terwijl Arnold, de jongere, hem beschuldigde dat hij zich erfzaken die aan hem en zijn broers en zusters toekwamen had toegeëigend. In 1521 namen de Zwollenaren het kasteel in bezit en werd Johan gevangengenomen. Johan kwam weer vrij toen op 24 augustus 1524 hertog Karel van Gelre het kasteel overmeesterde.

Op 11 maart 1580 werd Floris van Buckhorst met de havezate beleend. Hij huwde met Anna Bentinck, telg van de familie Bentinck, en overleed kinderloos in 1587. Anna hertrouwde met Goosen van Lauwick, drost van Bredevoort, waarna de havezate in andere handen kwam.

In 1779 nam Berend Hendrik Bentinck de naam Van Buckhorst aan en zetelde van 1813 tot 1830 als gouverneurs van Overijssel op de havezate. Na zijn overlijden in 1839 werden zijn bezittingen in een openbare veiling verkocht, waarna het kasteel in 1841 werd gesloopt.

In de Sint-Nicolaaskerk in Zalk zijn van de heren en vrouwen van Buckhorst onder andere de Buckhorst-banken en een grafkelder van de familie te vinden.

New commercial director joins The Landing @mediacityuk
Paul Billington will join Manchester's technology enterprise incubator with a focus on making it the place to be for growing digital and tech companies
BC north-westbc appointments
Katherine Lofthouse	 11:43am 11th Jan 2018
Billington will also be responsible for building links with the Salford community
The Landing @MediaCityUK in Manchester has appointed Paul Billington as its new commercial director to oversee the delivery of The Landing's ten-year strategic development plan.
The role will focus on making The Landing the place to be for digital and tech companies to start, scale up and grow, helping them to become high-growth, sustainable businesses.
Under Billington's remit will also be links to the Salford community, which The Landing supports with 600 jobs a year, and the redevelopment of Floor 7 at The Landing as a tech-led conference facility.
"The Landing is a dedicated technology incubation hub for businesses in sectors including healthcare, VR and AR, government and education," said Billington.
"With my team, I will be working hard to raising The Landing's profile and excellent reputation at the forefront of digital and tech.
"The next ten years is full of amazing opportunities and partnerships and I want to help The Landing become the best place for digital in the world. I am truly excited by what lies ahead."
Billington has a wealth of commercial experience and over 20 years of experience and understanding of digital and developing industries in tech.
Originally in banking and IT, he started a digital agency in 1998, selling it in 2005. Over the years, he has helped many digital and tech businesses, also holding a few high-profile interim roles and board level positions in the North West, including Challenger Technology Limited and Prodo Digital.
Jon Corner CEO of The Landing said: "Paul is a fantastic appointment for The Landing bringing a wealth of commercial experience to our growing dynamic team.
"2018 will see The Landing extend its operations into key sectors and I'm looking forward to the journey."
The Landing creates a unique environment where tech-led SMEs can thrive and grow, offering interactive testing labs such as Barclays Eagle Lab, an exciting working community and state of the art events spaces.
It contributes more than £25m a year and 1500 jobs to the Greater Manchester Economy, almost £83m to the UK economy and has strong community roots, with over 450 Salford residents taking part in digital skills programmes in the past year.


Klein's iconic, eye-popping art direction brings Raymond Queneau's bestselling children's novel to life and then some in Louis Malle's beloved, exhilarating film. Paris is transformed into a glittering urban playground for the titular gap-toothed 10-year-old, who moves through the city like a Tasmanian Devil while visiting uncle Philippe Noiret during a métro strike.
The English narration for Marker's milestone photo-roman short about memory, a time travel experiment, and the aftermath of World War III was supplied by William Klein, who can also be briefly glimpsed in the film.


CNHL has become insanely popular, and sitting at the top of their totem pole for FPV racing are the CNHL (China Hobby Line) 1500mah 100C 4s packs. Offering insane value, these packs are under $24 yet perform similarly to a battery which will often cost $40 or more. They are good for practice batteries and could even be used for Raceday. Don't be left out of the new battery craze without trying the CNHL Batteries.


Wiredcats, collectively coming up with ideas and ways and collaborating as a team to utilize our resources and mindful capabilities in the best ways possible. Using a CAD based program, the design team is tasked with designing and digitally testing a series of mechanical components brainstormed to fit the needs of the robot, and narrow them down to specific targeted and precise tasks. Organizing potential schematics from hundreds of similar or like minded ideas may prove most challenging, but with the collective brainpower of the design team no task is impossible.
The business team of the Wiredcats, team 5885, can be described as the committee of organizers and public relations specialists which help the team function daily. The members of the business team work tirelessly for success in the realm of organization and on-the-ground planning for the entirety of the robotics team. We are capable of a great many feats when we put ourselves to work. Our many departments of expertise including public relations, record-keeping, fund-raising, and promotion of not only team 5885, but the entire FIRST network, including their desire, which we share, to promote STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) to all young people. At the centre of our efforts is how we will do this. We have a specific plan to support and cultivate the desire in students to enter a field included or related to STEM after they leave high school, and we will aspire to achieve nothing less than excellence in this goal, as well as all of our other goals in our plan.
The electrical team is in charge of ensuring that communication between the programming team and the mechanical team is effective. They take of wiring the robot in a way that is safe and organized. So that any member of the team can access integral parts of the such as the battery, the rio, and the router. They are detail oriented with a keen eye for loose connections and accessibility. Without the electrical team, the robot is just a frame of parts with a non-working brain.
Our programming team is the mind of the robot. We develop the instructions for the robot. As the CAD team designs the robot, the programming team makes the design come to life. As the design of the robot develops, we grow and develop alongside it. When tweaks are made to the robot, the changes may be as little as adding a few things opposed to starting from scratch for the programmers. Communication between the computer via controller is where we also come into play. The programming team writes the code to connect our controllers to the computer. The programming team is the mind of the robot by developing intricate instructions which is what makes this team so special!
The mechanical team is the hands-on portion of the robotics team. Unlike programming and business, we are working directly with the robots, and our task begins right when the six-week build period starts. Once we are given the kick-off kit, our job starts. A basic robot is to be assembled, and we are to build a machine that can drive forward and backward. After the task is assigned, it will then be easier to modify the robot. During our build time, which is roughly one week, many hours will be put into the assembly of the robot. The mechanical team will be working at full speeds in order to create a mechanism that can put up a fight in the First Robotics Competitions. Our team is first through the door at First, and we hope to succeed upon our arrival.


Four former Rixwell Hotels will operate under this brand - Domus Hotel and Irina Hotel in Riga, one hotel in Bauska - Bauska Hotel and the Old Town Hotel in Tallinn. The Rija Hotels brand will operate in the three-star hotel segment. The introduction of the new Rija Hotels brand will allow us to segment the hotel offer better and accommodate it to the needs and interests of travellers.
Europe and Latvia are now experiencing a boom in hotel construction and a rapid inflow of investment in the development of hospitality and tourism projects. Despite the fears that the hotel market in Riga is close to saturation, there are still new hotels being opened in the capital. Over the last ten years, the number of hotels has increased by 34.7%, while the number of tourists has risen by almost 50% and the total spending has more than doubled. To keep pace with the tourism industry and travel trends, the Mogotel Hotel Group is developing a diverse range of hotel deals. Mogotel's hotel occupancy rates are on average 95 percent already.


Not much going on with the layout, and I lost the motivation to work on the Heisler at the moment. I started messing around with the stone engine house. I was going to use the Schomberg Scale Models engine house, but after a visit to the real Manns Creek engine house I wanted a better representation of it. I decided to use Balsa foam to carve my own engine house. Unfortunately I had built a base to the proportions of the Schomberg kit and I had to make my model use the same foot print and track spacing, however it did enlarge the opening for the locomotives to pass through so my larger shay would fit better.
the balsa foam carves easy but it will be a long and slow process. I am just using an X-acto knife and a tooth pick to carve the limestone blocks.
An interesting detail of the prototype is the different brick arches over each locomotive door. The door on the right had three brick rows laid so the ends of the bricks face outward. The door on the left has the bricks laid so there is a side and an end showing in each row.
here is the front wall blank cut to size. used a hack saw blade and some gauge blocks to slice the 1" thick sheet in half.
here is the start of the carving process. above the door on the right you can see how I start the process. I use an xacto knife to create the basic stone block shapes. Down the middle you can see my finished blocks that I textured with a toothpick. The prototype engine house had larger blocks on the bottom of the structure and smaller more random blocks at the top. on the inside of the structure the blocks were even smaller, more like stones.
Good start! With patience and perseverance, this will be a beautiful model.
I finished the front wall of the engine house. as on the prototype I used smaller stones on the inside surface. Also, as the outside wall got closer to the top it seems they used smaller blocks and stones as well.
I started on the side wall. from photos I took it seems that the sides also had smaller stones on both the inside and out, except around the windows and the ends. I am waiting to carve the blocks at the joint until after the walls are joined with the ends.
I also scratch built a boxcar. until now I have been using two plastic boxcars, one was a regauged Bachmann boxcar and the other was a shortened SJCC Rio Grande box car. Both boxcars looked out of place on my backwoods mining RR. The Manns Creek built its rolling stock on log car frames so I decided to do the same. I first built a log car and then built a box body and joined the two. I did not see any side doors on the prototype so I did not add any to my model. I may make a few more of these and maybe I will add some doors on some of them. I think these cars better fill the look I am going for.
I left this car unpainted but I may paint some of the other cars I will build. I also want to add one more caboose in the future.
Your new car and engine house look good. Thanks for sharing your work.
I'd love to see how you would handle building a early 0-6-0 with the 3 wheeled tender!
Wow! Very nice work. So exacting. Looking forward to seeing more progress.
The boxcar has a real home-made look. I like the weathered sides and especially the roof. It all looks very real.
The engine house is a beaut already, even at an incomplete stage. It's going to be a masterpiece.
Wow, that is some fantastic stone carving. My guess is the used smaller stones higher up due to having to lift the weight. Also if you look at old stone buildings closely the thickness of the walls taper off as the walls go higher. The stones at the base had to be larger / thicker to carry the structures weight.
The box car is a very nice build.

Q: Sorting 2d points by the distance from the origin I need to write a c code which sorts a random number of 2d points from the point that is the closest
to the origin to the point that has the biggest distance from the origin.Since I need to have a time complexity of n*log(n) where n is the number of points we get from the user Im thinking of using the heap sort method.The only problem is finding the closest pair to the distance by the equation of the distance between (x,y and (0,0) that is sqrt((x^2)+(y^2) and implementing this equation to the sorting method that I use.Just looking for some hints or any suggestions for how do I continue from here so I will appreciate any
piece of advice

A: Any good comparison sort algorithm will run in O(n log n). For efficiency you want the comparator to run as fast as possible. One thought: compare x^2+y^2 rather than the actual distance. Another: calculate that quantity just once for each point and cache it in the point object or elsewhere, rather than recalculating for each comparison.

A: Heap sort Solution:
1.Create a max heap of distance of each point from origin.
2.suppose if you are implementing heap by array then just create   one more dummy array which will contain index of that point.
3.just apply  normal heap sort & when you are doing swapping between indexes then also swap same index in dummy array.
lets say my input from user is following point
1,0
8,6
4,4
6,0

so my distance array will contain distance
1,10,sqrt(32),6

my dummy  array will contain normal index of each point
1,2,3,4

now create a max heap after crating it your array will be
    10,6,sqrt(32),1
 so at that time your dummy array will look like
    2,4,3,1.
 now apply heap sort 10 will swap with 1 as well as 2 will
 be swap with 1 in dummy array & so on......
By this in dummy array you will get all index of point which is nearest from origin to farest  from origin
tell me if there is anything which is you don't understood.

I enjoy helping people achieve their educational goals.
...the ACT, SAT, and SSAT. I can teach all subjects on these tests, and I have developed my own materials that are based on previously released tests. I particularly enjoy helping students master these entrance exams and seeing them gain confidence as they realize that they can can succeed on the test.
...ages for several years. I take a personal approach with each student, learning their strengths, weaknesses, and ways of learning. I am a creative instructor and use visuals, verbal cues, and games to assist students in their learning. I am a passionate instructor and child care professional striving to assist as many students as possible.


This week on Middle Theory, we analyze the ongoing controversies surrounding Wikileaks and the alleged Russian hack of DNC servers, as well as the recent shooting attack at the Fort Lauderdale Airport.
Happy New Year, first of all… kicking things off with those Societal Matters, Micah and McNonymous get all discussion of 2017 nomenclature out of the way, and then examine Anonymous and their recent hacking of the Bilderberg group's website. We also look at the shocking live streaming of a hate crime on Facebook, and how the technology of social media affects such issues.
On the discussion of technology, hacking is all the rage lately, as the ongoing debate over Russian hacking, Wikileaks, and the 2016 US Election continues. Many would assert that the debate is over, and that intelligence agencies have already released enough data that supports this. However, Wikileaks founder and spokesman Julian Assange maintains that Russia was in no way involved with the hack, which has recently made him strange bedfellows with conservative commentator Sean Hannity, of all people. What does this very unique Fox News interview with Assange tell us about the Grizzly Steppe operation, and U.S. Intelligence Agencies perception of Russia in relation to world affairs?
Finally, we examine the recent tragic shooting at the Fort Lauderdale airport, and why this incident is unique among mass shootings in America. Despite its differences, there are also many consistent elements, which raise questions about mental health, as well as the effectiveness of airport screening procedures.
Did CNN Alter Esteban Santiago's Photograph?

Success & Failure as an artist is up to the artist. There's no hard definition for what it means to be a successful artist.
Success, as I'm sure you know, can only be defined by the person achieving it. By my experience it has less to do with monetary achievement than personal accomplishment, inner growth, and artistic mastery.
I've known artists whose work was spectacular, who were financially set, and had earned critical acclaim, yet whose inner life, family life and emotional life were unspeakable wrecks. This to me was hardly a measure of success.
I've known others whose work was equally spectacular, who had achieved only moderate prosperity, with little acclaim, and yet were fulfilled in all areas of their lives. These people too considered themselves successful. So did their collectors. So did I.
As for you, you'll obviously know your own measure of success when you achieve it, depending on how you define same. Over the years that definition may change, depending on the nature of your experiences, disasters, and victories.
What happens if you "fail" and have to join the business world, or some world similar to it? You haven't failed. All those years of struggle, adversity and wrestling with the muse have brought, in return, these years of growth and a hopefully mature outlook. Without the struggle you wouldn't have the growth.
If you're compelled to join the working world, just pick an employer who is sane. You'll still have your work. You may have to burn more midnight oil, you may lose sleep, lose weight, or a bit of your sanity, but the struggle may bring out more insight and even better work. Follow your inner voice. It will likely take you where you need to go. That may not be where you want to go, but usually where we need to go is the more important of the two destinations—though it's often the more difficult of the two as well.
Joining the world of the full-time employed is not necessarily a surrender; it is taking time out to face what you need to—in your work, yourself, and your life. If you have it in you, you'll bring out your best work no matter what.
Oh, and one other thing: never give up, never give up, never give up.


Watch as Hayley talks about dealing with cystic fibrosis and goes through her treatments. Doctors and people with CF can do several things to slow the progression of the disease and fight its complications. To loosen mucus, people with CF exercise regularly and may use inhalers (like kids with asthma use) or nebulizers that help deliver medication to the lungs. Coughing helps people with CF clear the mucus from their lungs. They may also take antibiotics to prevent or fight lung infections. Chest physical therapy may also be an important part of a person's CF treatment routine. After lying down in a position that helps drain mucus from the lungs, the person has a helper, such as a parent, gently bang on his or her chest or back to loosen the mucus. And a newer device called a therapy vest that shakes the chest allows teens to be more independent by doing their therapy on their own. The Coping Cart at Norton Children's Hospital is designed to help ease children's stress and anxiety.
Hey! I was wondering if there was any way for me to contact Hayley. I have to make a card for a religion project for anyone currently in the hospital, and i would love to make one for her:) thanks!
Thanks for the comment Jessica – I'll shoot you and email and see if we can get you connected.

Bienestar Mutuo
Un innovador modelo social y económico, para llevar al ser humano a su siguiente paso evolutivo.
Analysis of the Book "The Bad Laws"
Articles (Category)
One of our collaborators, has asked us to do an analysis of the book "The Bad Laws (and the way out)" by Alberto Mansueti 2009.
We will do this analysis, with the purpose of seeing that we can take from this work, both what contributes to our proposal, either to add, to improve or to correct. Given that we start from the idea that we can be wrong, not that we are the possessors of absolute truth.
This analysis is quite critical and straightforward, as these complicated themes, require that the differences be exposed as clearly as possible, in order to make them simple for the general public.
Which In We Agree?:
The current society no longer serves, none of its systems, neither political, nor economic, educational, health, social security, judicial or electoral.
The solution to the problems of society starts with the participation of its citizens, and without them will not be possible the changes that we must do. That is, your participation, dear reader, is very important.
The state has grown enormously.
It deals with many functions of society that it should not.
It sacrifices the freedom of citizens under the promise of greater security, resulting in loss of freedoms without gaining more security.
It is inefficient in what it does.
It tends to corruption.
Obstacles the development of new companies.
It favors large companies, monopolies and oligopolies.
It is closely related to the banking system, favoring and securing its monopoly on the country's money.
In order to work on solutions for society, one must be well prepared in multiple areas of knowledge, one must know history, psychology, philosophy, economics, mathematics, law, sociology, science and even religion and spirituality.
In the vision that weapons must be accessible to all citizens, and not exclusively to the state and crime.
The reality that the human being, needs goals beyond materials, needs spiritual goals to make sense of his life.
Let us now turn to the proposals made in this book.
What We Can Take for Our Proposal?:
The vision that the laws of the country, must be re-elaborated, to guide them to the country plan. Since in our book "Society of Mutual Welfare" we do not touch the important issue of the laws, and Alberto Mansueti, develops it quite well.
We must analyze the proposal of Alberto Mansueti, to eliminate laws by standard contracts, this we have to think well, since we would be changing a formal laws, by some informal laws established by these contracts. This would give more discretion to the Judges, which is a gateway to corruption.
Also in terms of laws, it is necessary to be clear, in that it's impossible to make a complete and perfect law. This we know of the "godel's incompleteness theorem".
We propose a mixture of these two visions using the benefits of modern technologies of collective participation, direct democracy. In this way we can have dynamic laws, containing a series of principles that change little, established by the legislative body (the assembly), and a whole body of details established in standard contracts, periodically reviewed by a group of legislators.
This body of details or standards contracts is proposed and modified by the collective on the internet. As is the development of "open source" software where thousands of people contribute changes, which are debated, argued and consolidated in stable versions. In this way we will have laws that are updated according to the changing reality, we will have laws more interactive and fast.
What We Do Not Agree ?:
Our main proposal in SBM "Society of Mutual Welfare" is the change of the educational system, fundamental point to develop the new society. We can have the best design of society, but with uneducated citizens, this will become a disaster like the one we currently have. On the other hand, if we have a poor design of society, like the present one, but with educated citizens, these soon will arrange their society.
We differ from other proposals, current and past, in which we start from the change of man to change society. Those who have sought to change society to change man are the same ones who have invented all theisms of the past, socialism, communism, capitalism, and so on.
We define educated citizens, those who have two qualities: 1- are intelligent, analytical by themselves. 2- are sensitive to other citizens and nature.
Individualism can´t be more important than the collective. The human being is both individual and collective, and we must seek a balance between these two parts. The best example is the human body. The cells of the human body are individual and collective, and for them to function well, and all have everything they need, they must work in the collective good, which leads to individual well-being. Therefore we can´t go to an extreme and defend only individual well-being.
What Can We Contribute to the Model of Alberto Mansueti ?.
The two laws of economics, which we write in our article money-economy-and-finance, which in a compact way describe what he likes about capitalism.
Our economic model, capitalism without capital, described in our book SBM "Society of Mutual Welfare".
Our educational principles, described in our book.
Our social security model, which takes into account the reality, that almost no human work is needed to produce the goods and services we require.
Our business model, which does not have the social charges since these are of society and not of the company, making that we are in total harmony with the laws of the economy.
The proposal to base education on values. In the values produced by the scientific observation of the human being, without the contamination of local morality. Morality is left as a local culture, which must be preserved or not, for the conscience of individuals.
Our model of conflict resolution, using the technique of circles, is called in our book "round table".
Our model of indicators for goods and services (which is a reorganization of great work on indicators of Christian Felber), as well as the products have a label that says its ingredients and caloric inputs, we propose that all products are labeled with 3 indicators : economic, social and ecological. In this way we also apply direct democracy, allowing each citizen to vote with his money on each product.
We thank the author, Alberto Mansueti, for his excellent work "Las Leyes Malas", which is an excellent document, to feed the discussion, of what the new society should be. It is a work very rich in knowledge and wisdom, with a very valuable Christian approach. Writing books like this, require a great deal of dedication, which should be commended.
We would like to have this author to enrich our proposal.

Iowa joins lawsuit against Biden Administration over Homeland Security
by: Kelly Maricle
DES MOINES, Iowa – Iowa is joining a multi-state lawsuit against the Biden Administration.
New Iowa Attorney General Brenna Bird added the state to a lawsuit that is challenging the Department of Homeland Security's "parole" program, which it says allows hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants to cross the southern border into the U.S.
School choice law doesn't provide funding for homeschooling
Homeland Security recently announced that it will annually permit 360,000 people from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to settle in America and seek employment, lawfully, for the next two or more years.
The lawsuit argues the actions of Homeland Security are illegal because, in effect, it creates a new visa program without the approval of Congress.
Bird said it is also a safety issue, "Illegally allowing 360,000 aliens to settle in the U.S. exacerbates the crisis on our borders and the presence of crime and drugs on our streets."

Flo Rida Removing 'Sweat' From 'R.O.O.T.S.' Not Due To Chris Brown Arrest
Flo Rida tells UsMagazine.com that reports suggesting he removed the song 'Sweat', featuring Chris Brown, from his upcoming 'R.O.O.T.S.' album was not due to the R&B singer's alleged assault of his girlfriend Rihanna last month. "I think someone must have got it twisted," Rida insisted. "The thing was, we have deadlines to meet and between his business and my business, things were – we had to turn an album, so I had to really get everything together." The rapper added that the move was made "way before" the Grammy eve incident, "at least a month. I had been done with this record."

A great (unique) watch for a great cause. Now you can't really argue with that.
Imagine spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on one of the rarest wristwatches ever made and knowing that every penny will go to a charity that helps kids most in need. Here's your chance to lend a helping hand and get a nice watch in the process – but you better have deep pockets to make this happen. There is only one watch… and lots of competition to own it. Here's the inside story.
On June 11th, Children Action Geneva will auction a one-of-a-kind timepiece made by venerable Swiss watchmaker Patek Philippe. Children Action is dedicated to providing medical aid and psychological care to children in need around the world. In Geneva, recent Children Action work includes teenage suicide prevention initiatives and pediatric surgery for children injured as a result of violence in the Balkans.
The Patek Philippe Ref. 5131 created for this auction has a special enamel dial featuring a scene of Geneva and tells the time in 24 different time zones around the world. The regular production Ref. 5131s are coveted themselves and bring extraordinary prices at auction. Retailing for approximately $70,000 (if you are lucky enough to get one from an authorized Patek retailer), the watches are instantly worth more on the secondary market to passionate collectors and investors. Recently, examples of this reference have brought strong prices at auction including white gold version which brought over $150,000. The yellow gold production examples exclusively feature a cloisonné map of North America while the white gold examples feature a map of Asia.
The unique example made for the Children Action charity is the only model ever made (and ever will be made) featuring a local cityscape of Geneva. The hand-crafted cloisonné enamel befitted with brilliant jewel-like colors featuring a picturesque ariel view of the city complete with the characteristic jet-d'eau, a familiar scene to those who have made the all-too necessary pilgrimage to venerable watchmaker Patek Philippe. Adding to its uniqueness, the marker for the city of Paris normally seen on the regular production version has been replaced. The city of light has been replaced by the horological capital Geneva which appears on the dial in bold, blue print.
Due to the rarity of the timepiece and special beauty of the Geneva cloisonné city scene, insiders predict this unusual Ref. 5131 could fetch a number approaching $1 million.
First, Geneva is unquestionably the epicenter of the watchmaking world. Among the varied talents to which the city has given birth is avant-garde watchmaker Louis Cottier (1894-1966), who first devised the mechanism integral to the Ref. 5131 allowing all time zones to be displayed on a single dial – the world time. Many watchmaking companies benefitted from Cottier's early innovations, among them: Patek Philippe, Vacheron Constantin and Longines, and other companies have followed in their footsteps.
Second, the world time is a window into history and a precursor to today's globalized world. An historic international agreement fixed Greenwich as the prime meridian in 1884 yet took several decades to adopt worldwide. The world time is an important feature in that it can show all 24 time zones, particularly relevant to today's world where globalization has changed the game. This particular timepiece makes a strong statement about what life is today and the wearer's role in it.
Lastly, Geneva has played an essential role in the development of the modern art of enameling - merging art, craftsmanship and technical brilliance. Although the craft of enameling has ancient roots, it has fallen in and out of fashion through the centuries only to be revived by contemporary watchmaking manufactures in the mid-20th century who primarily incorporate cloisonné on dials of wristwatches and small clocks (a rare and exceedingly beautiful example will be sold at Sotheby's June 16th sale).
Other unique Patek Philippe wristwatches created for recent charity events include: a platinum Ref. 5970P chronograph and perpetual calendar for a 2009 charity event for the benefit of Tung Wah Hospitals Hong Kong and hosted by Sotheby's; and a unique steel Ref. 3939, a manually-wound minute repeating tourbillion with black enamel dial with applied white gold Breguet numerals for Prince Albert II of Monaco's Only Watch which fetched $1,737,820 (€1,400,000), well above its estimate.
For watch collectors and enthusiasts alike, June 11th is an opportunity to own your own slice of Geneva's watchmaking history and make a difference.
If you have the means, this unusual and beautiful Ref. 5131 is clearly the watch you need to mark your arrival as a serious and seasoned collector. Not only is it a superlative and luxurious timepiece, but it's also for a great cause.

When it was announced earlier this year that Chris Tucker would be recording his first ever stand-up comedy special, the comic-turned-actor said that he was "thrilled" to be working with Netflix on this endeavor. A standard PR statement, sure, but the streaming giant's recent run at stand-up specials has delivered some home runs (watch Chelsea Peretti's special if you haven't already) so Tucker's would be another log on a growing fire. At the very least, it's sure to get people talking about Rush Hour 4, since Tucker would probably love to star in another blockbuster and Brett Ratner could use another nacho fountain on his yacht.
Chris Tucker Live debuts on Netflix on July 10.
