Jussie Smollett: Chicago prosecution was malicious

FILE – In this March 26, 2019 file photo, former "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett smiles and waves to supporters before leaving Cook County Court after his charges were dropped in Chicago. Smollett says his $10,000 payment after the close of a criminal case should prevent Chicago from seeking reimbursement for a police investigation of his claim that he was a victim of a racist and homophobic attack. Smollett's attorneys filed a response to Chicago's lawsuit Tuesday, Nov. 19, 2019. They also filed a counterclaim against the city, saying Smollett was the victim of a malicious prosecution.

CHICAGO (AP) — Former "Empire" actor Jussie Smollett is suing Chicago for malicious prosecution and says the city should not seek payment from him to cover the cost of the investigation into his claim that he was a victim of a racist and homophobic attack because it accepted his $10,000 bail "as payment in full."
Chicago filed a lawsuit in April seeking reimbursement of more than $130,000 for overtime paid to police officers who were involved in investigating the alleged January attack.
Smollett's attorneys filed a response Tuesday in federal court. It said the city should not be allowed to recover costs from Smollett because it accepted $10,000 from the actor "as payment in full in connection with the dismissal of the charges against him."
They also filed a counterclaim, saying Smollett was the victim of a malicious prosecution that caused him humiliation and extreme distress.
Smollett told police that he was beaten Jan. 29 by two men who looped a noose around his neck and threw vile comments at him. Chicago police said the attack was staged, and Smollett was charged with making a false report.
Prosecutors dropped the case in March. Smollett maintained his innocence but agreed to let authorities keep the $10,000 bail.
Chicago's Law Department issued a statement Wednesday saying the city will continue to pursue its efforts to recover the full cost of its investigation.
"The judge in this case has already ruled in our favor once and we fully expect to be successful in defeating these counterclaims," Bill McCaffrey, Chicago law department spokesman, said in a statement.
His team was so confident in a pardon that they'd readied a celebratory limousine and a hair and wardrobe team to whisk away the zookeeper-turned-reality-TV-star, who is now serving a 22-year federal prison sentence in Texas. But he wasn't on the list announced Wednesday morning.

Directors offer £49 million to aid MG Rover
The owners of the beleaguered MG Rover group have pledged £49 million in assets in a bid to help save the company.
The directors of Phoenix Venture Holdings (PVH) have pledged the assets in order to provide additional time for the administrators, PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), to find a buyer for both MG Rover and engine-making subsidiary Powertrain.
The pledge from the directors, including the original 'Phoenix 4' businessmen who purchased MG Rover from BMW in 2000 for a nominal £10, follows a £6.5 million government loan which is keeping the company – and its 6,000 strong workforce – going for another week.
The assets are believed to include Studley Castle in Warwickshire, which is reportedly worth up to £8 million. However, it is believed that even if the full amount of the assets were received, it would still only be enough to keep MG Rover going for another two months
The pledge was welcomed by PwC but Tony Lomas, joint administrator and PwC partner, said: " There are a number of challenges in getting to a position where the directors can turn that into a cash injection. Directors' confirmation of whether all or any of the assets offered can in fact be turned into cash is awaited."
Mr Lomas said that if the assets could not be used, the directors had said that they intended to pledge their shares in PVH " for the benefit of employees and their families".
MG Rover went into administration on Friday, following the collapse of a possible deal with Chinese carmakers the Shanghai Automotive Industry Corp (SAIC). Car production at the Longbridge plant in Birmingham ceased on Thursday and yesterday thousands of the firm's employees were sent home on full pay, while PwC worked on re-establishing a partnership deal with SAIC. However, it was reported yesterday that SAIC were unlikely to consider a joint venture with MG Rover while the company was in administration.
It has been reported that several companies, including Alchemy Partners, which attempted to purchase MG Rover in 2000, have expressed interest in the company, but a firm offer has yet to be made.
It has also been reported that the government may extend the loan granted to the company if it looked like the business could survive.
Yesterday PwC confirmed that MG Rover and Powertrain were incurring "very significant losses" – estimated to be between £20 and £25 million per month.

i suggest you that use SwiftMailer library For Send Mail, That Is Very Strong.

Today's Terrorism News
The Holy Jerusalem:
A Key to Middle East War or Peace?
As the new administration of President Donald J. Trump is beginning to develop its Middle East foreign policy strategy, the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict still persists. In addition to the multiple outstanding issues to be resolved by the parties, such as the need for mutual recognition and the settling of boundary disputes, questions remain regarding the future of Jerusalem, the Holy City, which is considered by Israel as its eternal capital—and which the Palestinians also see as their own capital in a future state.
This current report on "The Holy Jerusalem: A Key to Middle East War or Peace?" provides a recent academic effort focusing on two questions. First, can religion in general serve as an effective bridge to advance the cause of peace in the Middle East and elsewhere? And second, will the antagonists and their partisan Jewish, Muslim, and Christian co-religionists be capable of a peaceful resolution on the final status of the Holy City?
The co-sponsors of the report are the Inter-University Center for Terrorism Studies, the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies, the International Law Institute, and the Center for National Security Law at the University of Virginia School of Law.

Graffiti art with
Basel schoolchildren
As a cultural project it's certainly out of the ordinary. Pupils from two classes at the FG Basel private school have transformed the guest limousine of the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois into a graffiti artwork, entirely in keeping with the hotel's advertising claim: "Rich in history, young at heart".
Since its reopening in 2006 the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois has regularly supported charity projects and joint ventures with organisations that benefit the welfare of children in the Basel region, for instance the regional children's cancer charity.
At the request of pupils from the FG Basel private school the Hotel has now also agreed to a cultural school project. As part of the " media and art " project we ek, schoolchildren of classes 3Pa and 3Pb (between 12 and 14 years old) were given permission to redesign the guest limousine of the Grand Hotels Les Trois Rois (a 2006 Bentley) using spray paints. Swiss graffiti artist Thierry Furger was their professional mentor under mediation and project coordination of Philipp Brogli, Artstübli Galerie Basel.
The result of the one - week joint project is a guest limousine that's bursting with joy and happiness and resplendent in the house colours of the Grand Hotel Les Trois Rois, clearly identifiable by the logo and the claim: «Rich in history, young at heart» . The pupils made ample use of the artistic licence granted to them and transformed the vehicle into a distinctive work of art on four wheels .
The project once again illustrates the ambition of the long - established hotel to blend its over three hundred years of history with a vibrant present.
Making Of - The Bentley Project
Interview of hotel owner Dr. h.c. Thomas Straumann
About the artist: Thierry Furger , born in 1975, discovered the world of graffiti in the late 1980s and has since devoted himself to its exploration; he currently lives and works as an artist and graphic designer in Zurich. For more than twenty years now he has been following a nd document ing the subculture of 'writers' and their output. He first presented his works at an exhibition in 2007. For Furger, graffiti means n ot just many years of practice working with letters and spray cans to develop a signature style, but also being able to rea lise his works under difficult circumstances, under time pressure, and in poor light conditions. He creates works that do not necessarily highlight calligraphy or technically perfect lines, but showcase the impact and the aesthetics of speed as well as the transient nature of existence itself.
FG Basel is rooted in more than 125 years of tradition, innovating education and uniting all school levels under one roof, from ki ndergarten to matura. «Education made to measure» has been the trademark of our independent and child - centered private school in the beautiful and safe Gellert quarter of Basel . Our school concept recognises each student's individuality, creates spaces for forward - looking teaching and learning methods, as well as offers a great variety of programmes for the support of different talents.


Tom "Red" Martin, a former U.S. Olympian and New England ice hockey legend who went on to excel both in the business world and in the game of life, passed away on Thursday, July 27, 2017, at the age of 79.
Martin may be best known as a very successful businessman and philanthropist in the New England area, but in his youth sport was very important part of his life.
A three-sport standout athlete at Cambridge High and Latin School, Martin went on to play both hockey and baseball at Boston College in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
On the ice he was a two-time All-American defenseman earning MVP honors and scoring the winning goal in the 1961 Beanpot Tournament championship. He was named the winner of the Walter Brown Award as the top U.S.-born college hockey player in New England in his senior season.
On the baseball diamond, Martin was described as a steady left-handed first baseman and played on the Eagle teams that reached the College World Series in 1960 and 1961.
He was later inducted into the BC Hall of Fame and his hockey jersey hangs in the rafters at BC's Kelley Rink.
After earning his bachelor's degree in 1961, Martin joined the U.S. National hockey team and he went on to serve as assistant captain for the 1964 U.S. Olympic team that competed in Innsbruck, Austria. Of note, Martin was Herb Brooks' roommate. There was no Miracle on Ice in 1965 though, as the American team finished in 5th place.
Following his hockey career, Martin spent five years as a CPA at Arthur Andersen & Co. in Boston before taking a job as a corporate controller at Cramer Electronics of Needham. He was subsequently promoted to national sales manager, and in 1979, after the company was acquired by Arrow Electronics, Martin took out a loan and purchased the company's video operations division, which he renamed Cramer Productions.
This is Adrien Plavsic. He is like so many Canadians he is a first generation Canadian from immigrant parents who fell in love with the country and it's wintery game.
The 1968 Olympic gold medallists. Viktor Blinov is 2nd from the left in the front row.
In 1968 one of the up and coming stars of Soviet hockey was a fellow named Viktor Blinov (not to be confused with Yuri Blinov). However that year the 23 year old Olympic star died during a training session.
Tass, the Soviet news agency, said "the hard shooting defenseman" fell while practicing with his club team, Moscow Spartak. He lost consciousness and was rushed to the hospital where he died. It was later ruled to be a heart attack.
He played three seasons with the Soviet national team, scoring 10 goals in 32 games. Blinov starred at the 1968 Grenoble Winter Olympics, where the Soviets won a gold medal.
An arena in his hometown of Omsk is named after him. The arena also hosts the Viktor Blinov Memorial Hockey Tournament.
A lot of people are making a big deal about old man Jaromir Jagr playing in his 5th Olympic Games at Sochi 2014. Sure, he is 41, but he is a true legendary superstar after all.
But did you know that Jagr isn't even the oldest player on the Czech Republic team? Both Martin Rucinsky and Pavel Patera are 42!
All three were members of the Czech Republic's 1998 gold medal team. Jagr and Rucinsky were regular NHLers. Patera didn't last nearly as long - playing just 32 games over two seasons, one with Dallas and one with Minnesota.
"There are a lot of mental obstacles for him," said Craig Button, then the Stars director of player personnel. "It takes time and you can't speed it up."
But the Stars scouting staff liked him a lot. They drafted him following the Olympics, thanks largely to the advice of former NHLer Jiri Hrdina.
"He's a quiet leader who scores the big goals," Hrdina said, who also acted as Patera's translator in Dallas. "He's a very skilled offensive player who sees the puck very well. His teammates will be surprised he finds them with his passes."
The whole organization saw potential.
"He's not a dazzling player. He just makes smart plays," Stars chief amateur scout Tim Bernhardt said. "He has great knowledge of the game and the ability to read the ice. We see him as a third-line player, but maybe more if he can really adjust."
He was talented enough to play many years in the NHL, but he did not make the adjustment to North American life very well, neither on and off the ice. On the ice Patera struggled with the heavy physical demands of the NHL regular season. He also played a foreign position defensively. In Czech hockey the center was expected to stay high, but in Dallas he was expected to be first in on the forecheck. Off the ice he struggled with the language.
"I'm getting a lot of help from the other players, but I feel I will be able to communicate in English with them in three or four months," Patera said at training camp. "Mike Keane has helped me the most. He just explains things, and talks slowly to me."
After being a star in Europe, Patera really wanted to test his game in the best league in the world. Coach Ken Hitchcock gave him a vote of confidence early by playing him on a line with the great shooter Brett Hull.
"I never dreamed I would be on a line with Brett Hull and Mike Keane," Patera said. "It didn't just happen that this team won the Stanley Cup. This is a team of great players, and I know it's going to be tough to crack the lineup. This is another challenge for me in my hockey life."
"We're going to have to complement him with people who are able to read off of his vision," Hitchcock said. "If you just have grinders who don't read off his vision, then I think you're not going to accomplish the things you can with this player."
But Patera never clicked with Hull, and never did find chemistry with anyone else. After 12 games and 1 goal, he left to finish the season back in the Czech league.
He came back to the NHL the following year, now with Minnesota thanks to an off-season trade. His stint in Minny wasn't much better - 20 games and one more goal, with the rest of the season spent in the minor leagues.
Pavel Patera headed back overseas after that. First he went to Russia to play in the KHL and then he returned home to play for many more seasons in his hometown of Kladno.
Adelbert St. John - Del to all who knew him - is a legend of hockey in Austria. Hey, what more can a kid from Pincher Creek, Alberta ever dream of?
Del was born in Pincher Creek (some sources say it was Westlock) on October 6th, 1931. He played junior hockey in Edmonton with Oil Kings and went on to a professional career in the minor league circuit for the 1953-54 season, bouncing around from places like Johnstown, Louisville, Toledo and Milwaukee.
The minor league life must not have been to the liking of the pint-sized St. John. There is no statistical record of him playing anywhere for the '54-55 season. Then in 1956 he headed overseas to embark on a long professional career before it was all that common for Canadians to do so.
The first three seasons he jumped around, trying out Britain then Holland then Italy. In 1960 he moved to Austria and he never left.
St. John played 20 more seasons in Austria, retiring in 1980 at the age of 49. Twice he represented Austria at the Olympics, and six times he led the nation at the World Championships (albeit it was at B and C pool levels).
Del St. John passed away at the age of 79 in Klagenfurt, Austria.
Anatoli Vladimirovitch Tarasov is regarded as the architect of the Soviet Union's powerful hockey empire. Yet he alienated the Soviet hockey higher-ups enough to land him in hot water several times, including for the 1972 Summit Series.
Tarasov was a product of Soviet hockey himself. He was a workmanlike winger who was overshadowed by the flashy Vsevolod Bobrov. Tarasov lacked Bobrov's natural skill, but made up for with an incredible understanding of the game and a willingness to experiment.
The two would continue their mostly friendly rivalry for years off the ice as well. Both became successful head coaches. Tarasov coached his country's national team to nine straight world amateur championships and three consecutive Olympic titles before he retired after his team's gold win at Sapporo in 1972. He was the undisputed king of Soviet hockey until he was abruptly unseated shortly after the 1972 Olympic win and shortly before the 1972 Summit Series showdown with the Canadians. He was replaced by Bobrov.
According to Lawrence Martin's book The Red Machine, the final straw was a rivalry between Tarasov and the political bosses he answered to. Tarasov, with a history of insubordination if he felt it was beneficial for the team, clashed with the head of the Soviet Sports Committee, specifically a fellow named Mr. Pavlov, over money accepted from the Japanese. The Japanese offered Soviet players $200 a piece to play 2 exhibition games prior to the Olympics. This of course was very unacceptable in the Communist world and in the thinly veiled amateur sports world. Pavlov, who was closely monitored by the Kremlin, was furious.
Following the Olympics Tarasov, and his national team assistant coach Arkady Chernyshov, asked for time off to rest from the rigours of coaching. Pavlov agreed, but gave them both a permanent break. In essence they were fired from the national team. Tarasov was replaced by the skating legend Bobrov behind the bench.
Initially it looked like a bad move for the Soviets. Bobrov led them to the silver medal in the World Championships. For most nations that would be a major accomplishment but that marked the first time the Soviets had finished without the gold in a decade. To make matters worse key players Anatoli Firsov and Vitaly Davydov protested by not playing for the national team.
Bobrov ultimately wouldn't last long. He relaxed the stringent and rigid game Tarasov had preached and was so successful with. The players quickly grew to appreciate the freedom and responsibility, and it showed in the performance at the 1972 Summit Series. However the political bosses would favour a young up and coming coach named Viktor Tikhonov.
Tarasov seemingly disappeared from hockey after his dismissal. He continued to coach the Red Army club team until 1974 and supervised the Soviet Gold Puck tournament for boys. More than 1,000,000 youngsters were registered for the various youth competitions.
Tarasov also travelled the world attending seminars and making personal appearances. In 1987 he served as a coaching consultant to the NHL's Vancouver Canucks during training camp.
This is Ferdinand "Pic" Cattini. He teamed with his brother Hans "Joe" Cattini and Swiss hockey legend Bibi Torriani to lead HC Davos and the Swiss national team for the better part of the 1930s and 1940s.
Pic, considered to be the most personable of the three, was said to be an elegant player with great anticipation for the game. He and his brother were considered to be the most "Canadian" styled players in Europe in these early days.
Pic scored 87 goals in 107 games with the national team. The brothers' greatest accomplishments was helping Switzerland win gold at the home Olympics in St. Moritz in 1948.
The Cattini brothers were electricians by trade. Pic later operated a hotel in Davos, but died at the age of 52 in 1969.
This is Hans "Joe" Cattini. Together with brother Ferdinand (aka Pic) he formed a line with Bibi Torriani, generally regarded as the early legend of hockey in Switzerland. The trio led HC Davos to 18 league championships and the starring role on the national team.
"Joe," who doubled as an electrician, was the most underrated of the three. He did switch to defense towards the end of his career, dulling his statistical output. In 111 games with the national team he scored 54 goals.
Inducted to the IIHF hockey Hall of Fame in 1998, Cattini's greatest accomplishment was helping Switzerland capture the bronze medal at the home Olympics in St. Moritz in 1948.
The Cattini brothers were considered to be very "Canadian" in their style of hockey.
Ulrich "Uli" Poltera (sometimes known as Ueli) was the older brother of Geb Poltera and cousin of Hans-Martin Trepp.
The three grew up playing the game as a youngsters and went on to lead EHC Arosa to seven consecutive Swiss championships in the 1950s. he also was a mainstay on the Swiss national team, serving as captain at times and scoring 112 goals in 111 games.
Uli Poltera passed away at a hospital in Chur, Switzerland on March 22, 1994.
He was a hair dresser by trade but a sportsman by heart. Hans-Martin Trepp was said to be an excellent skier as well as a golfer and tennis player. But he was best known as a hockey player.
Born November 9, 1922 in Arosa, Switzerland, he grew up playing the game with cousins Gebi and Ueli Poltera. The trio would play together through childhood and as pros with EHC Arosa and of course on the national team. The trio led Arosa to seven consecutive league titles. Trepp represented Switzerland 94 times.
An elegant and speedy skater and clever stickhandler, Trepp was a showman who, unlike his cousins, could be accused of playing too individually at times.
Hans-Martin Trepp died as a result of a skull fracture when he fell down from the stairs at his home. he passed on August 17, 1970.
Gebhard "Gebi" Poltéra was born on December 14, 1923, in Arosa, Switzerland. He grew up by an outdoor rink where he learned the game alongside his brother Ueli and his cousin Hans-Martin Trepp. It was the beginning of a legendary line for EHC Arosa, a top team in Switzerland until the 1980s. And of course he was a mainstay on the national team.
The trio was the answer to the line of archrivals HC Davos with IIHF Hall of Famers Bibi Torriani and the Cattini brothers, Ferdinand and Hans. It was an epic though friendly rivalry. Poltéra debuted in the top league in 1939 as a 16-year-old and won seven consecutive championships (1951-1957) with EHC Arosa.
Poltéra had 108 international appearances and scored 98 goals. He played in two Olympic Games and six World Championships. His résumé includes a bronze medal at the 1948 Olympics on home ice in St. Moritz. He also won bronze in three World Championships.
Poltéra played until 1965 when a wrist injury forced him off the ice. He briefly tried coaching before starting a successful career as an interior decorator.

Araburg je zřícenina hradu na Arabergu v jižní části Dolních Rakous, v okrese Lilienfeld.

Hrad je postavený v nadmořské výšce 800 metrů u Kaumbergu v Triestingtalu a je nejvýše položeným hradem v Dolních Rakousích.

Název hradu "Orlí hrad" je odvozen od rodu Araburgerů.

Historie
Hrad byl postavený ve 12. století a až po 17. století byl rozšířený. Během prvního obléhání Vídně Turky v roce 1529 byl útočištěm mnoha obyvatel. Také během náboženských válek mezi římsko-katolíky a protestanty sehrál důležitou roli a tak měl mnoho majitelů, např. Ruckendorfferů. Od roku 1625 byl ve vlastnictví kláštera Lilienfeld. Během druhého tureckého obléhání Vídně v roce 1683 byl zcela zničený a od té doby je už jen ruinou.

V šedesátých letech 20. století byla zřícenina opravena poté, jak byla během druhé světové války poničená.

Současnost
Zřícenina je dosažitelná pouze pěšky, ale pro vyhlídku je přebudovaná hradní věž a je oblíbeným místem výletů do Vídeňského lesa. Z vyhlídky je možný rozhled na Schneeberg a do dalekého předhoří Alp. Hradní prostředí a pořádané letní hry doplňují nabídku pro návštěvníky. Dále je také možnost na hradě přenocovat.

Nominations for the Louisiana Agriculture Hall of Distinction Being Accepted
September 13, 2018 / don molino
By Dr. Craig Gautreaux, LSU AgCenter
BATON ROUGE — The Louisiana Agriculture Hall of Distinction is now accepting nominations for its induction ceremony, which will be held March 7, 2019, at the L'Auberge Hotel in Baton Rouge.
The nomination form can be obtained online at www.louisianaagriculturehallofdistinction.com or through any parish LSU AgCenter extension office.
The Hall of Distinction is a program of the Louisiana Radio Network, LSU AgCenter, Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation and the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry to recognize individuals who have a profound effect on Louisiana agriculture or agricultural enterprises. Nominees can represent any facet of agriculture or agriculture-related industries. including farming, ranching, aquaculture, fisheries, education or agribusiness.
"Agriculture has a long and illustrious history in Louisiana," said Bill Richardson, LSU vice president for agriculture. "Many people have made significant contributions that helped transform agriculture-based operations into sustainable businesses. This industry continues to supply jobs that are essential to rural economies and provide the food and fiber that everyone needs. This event recognizes some of those distinguished individuals."
The two individuals inducted in 2018 were Margie Yates Jenkins, a nursery operator from Amite, and Pierre "Pete" Lanaux, a sugarcane farmer from Edgard.
"We are pleased the Hall of Distinction has become a signature event each year as we honor those who have contributed to the state's most significant industry," said Louisiana Radio Network President Jim Engster. "The Louisiana agriculture industry helps feed and clothe all of us, and this is just one small way to say thank you to all our farmers and ranchers. And all of us involved with the program are more than proud and happy to do so."
"It's important that we take time to recognize those who advance agriculture, both in the field and in the laboratory," said Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation President Ronnie Anderson. "Louisiana is truly blessed to have some of the most productive and innovative farmers, ranchers, researchers and consultants in the world. We're growing better crops and raising healthier animals with fewer inputs than we did just 20 years ago. That's why the Louisiana Farm Bureau Federation is again happy to partner with the Louisiana Radio Network, LSU AgCenter and the Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry to sponsor the Louisiana Agriculture Hall of Distinction."
"What an honor it is to be inducted into the Hall of Distinction. They have dedicated their lives to the agricultural and forestry industries — industries that are critical to the state of Louisiana's economy," said Louisiana Department of Agriculture and Forestry Commissioner Mike Strain, D.V.M. "Their contributions are tremendous, and we honor their commitment."
Monsanto is the corporate sponsor for this year's event.

EURO2008 City Scenes: Austria Survived, Just About – A Chat Review
Photo: Polish supporters in Vienna; not to be confused with Austrian supporters, who dress red-white-red!
The final crunch test for the Austrian team approached on Thursday, June 12, 2008. Having lost against Croatia the Sunday before (0:1, though with a strong performance in the second half), another loss would have meant the end of the Austrian participation in the tournament. Would Austria's fate that evening as its co-host Switzerland the day before?
Fate had another path that night, though for long stretches of the game it seemed that the end of Austria's EURO2008 dreams of reaching at least the semi-finale was rather unlikely. If your German is good enough, you should read the lovely commentary by my colleagues of kick08.net on that game; some of them were actually watching the game live at the Ernst-Happel-Stadium. According to the writer, there were four acts to the day and the game, with an unknown enthusiasm (Act II) from the Austrian fans for their national team, for about the first 30 minutes. Their attack skills in particular captivated the fans – the execution of scoring evidently less, because no goal was scored then. A picturesque passage I would like to quote here (in my English translation):
"Team and Fans became one, the emotions on the pitch and on the echelons merged to one collective though of the sea of senses and yearning for the first success in red-white-red at the European Championship emerged with every attack yet again to a national football delirium."

No one likes marketing. Well, maybe not no one, but the majority of small business owners and managers would rather focus on running their business and not have to worry about promoting it. However, marketing is a big part of the business process. Last week we talked about five tips that can help a company to improve its marketing strategy. This week we are going dive a little deeper into the marketing process to learn about a unique kind of web marketing tool called SEO. SEO stands for search engine optimization. According to SEOmoz.com, SEO is the practice of improving and promoting a web site in order to increase the number of visitors the site receives from search engines. There are many aspects to SEO, from the words on webpage to the way other sites link to it. Sometimes SEO is simply a matter of making sure the site is structured in a way that search engines understand.
Since the advent of mobile technology, eCommerce and a web presence have become a vital part of a company's marketing strategy. People are spending more time online today than at any other time in history. Businesses must keep up with the consumer trends. Websites and social media are at the tips of a consumer's fingertips. Why not make sure your company is the first one that they see? Search Engine Optimization helps internet users quickly navigate to your website.
Almost all internet users navigate to websites using search engines such as Google, Yahoo or Bing. Facebook and other types of social media also can generate web traffic, but for the majority of companies, most of their traffic comes via the use of search engines. What makes SEO so important is that without the right tools, a website will sink to the bottom of the results page and so never be viewed. Most people only search through the first few links on a results page. If your company's website isn't on the top, no one will see it.
Search engines are uniquely placed to provide targeted traffic i.e. people in search of what you offer. If your website is not properly optimized you will miss out on not only business, but also the opportunity to solve the problems of potential customers.


Village Global is leveraging its network of tech luminaries to support the next generation of entrepreneurs.
The $100 million early-stage venture capital firm, which counts as limited partners (LPs) Microsoft's Bill Gates, Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, Alphabet's Eric Schmidt, Amazon's Jeff Bezos, LinkedIn's Reid Hoffman and many other high-profile techies, quietly announced on Friday that the accelerator it piloted earlier this year would become a permanent fixture.
Called Network Catalyst, Village provides formation-stage startups with $150,000 and three-months of programming in exchange for 7 percent equity. Its key offering, however, is access to its impressive roster of LPs.
To formally announce Network Catalyst, Village brought none other than Bill Gates to San Francisco for a fireside chat with Eventbrite CEO Julia Hartz . During the hour-long talk, Gates handed out candid advice on building a successful company, insights on philanthropy and predictions on the future of technology. He later met individually with the founders of Village's portfolio companies.
During the Q&A session, Gates regurgitated one of his great anecdotes. In the early days of Microsoft, he would memorize his employee's license plates so he knew when they were coming and going, quietly noting who was working the longest hours. He admitted, to no one's surprise, that he struggled with work-life balance.
Gates has been an active investor in Village since it emerged one year ago. VMware founder Diane Greene, Disney CEO Bob Iger and Spanx CEO Sara Blakely are also on the firm's long list of LPs.
Village is led by four general partners: Erik Torenberg, Product Hunt's first employee; LinkedIn's former chief of staff Ben Casnocha; Chegg's former chief business officer Anne Dwane; and former Canaan partner Ross Fubini. They initially filed to raise a $50 million fund in mid-2017 but ultimately closed on $100 million in March. The firm relies heavily on scouts — angel investors and others knowledgeable of the startup world — to source deals. The scouts, in return, earn a portion of the firm's returns.
Former Alphabet chairman Eric Schmidt.
An accelerator program has been part of Village's plan since the beginning.
Pinterest CEO Ben Silbermann, Fidelity CEO Abby Johnson, Hoffman, Iger, Blakely and Schmidt all worked with Network Catalyst's debut cohort of founders. Village co-founder Anne Dwane said Hoffman and former Twitter CEO Ev Williams have signed on to work with the next cohort.
San Francisco-based VeriSIM, a startup building AI-enabled biosimulation models, was among the debut class of companies that participated in Network Catalyst. Jo Varshney, the company's founder and CEO, said the accelerator's personalization and customization set it apart from competing options.
"It seemed like I had a team of people working alongside me even though I'm a solo founder," Varshney told TechCrunch.
After completing the program, Schmidt introduced Varshney to a number of investors. She quickly closed a $1.5 million seed round.
"One year in and I already have a one-on-one meeting with Bill Gates," she added.
Applications for the accelerator close on December 7 with programming kicking off January 14. Village plans to enroll at least 12 companies across industries.

Offers the most extensive discussion available in English of the whole of Colombian history
Colombia: Fragmented Land, Divided Society is a comprehensive history of the third most populous country of Latin America. It offers the most extensive discussion available in English of the whole of Colombian history-from pre-Columbian times to the present. The book begins with an in-depth look at the earliest years in Colombia's history, emphasizing the role geography played in shaping Colombia's economy, society, and politics and in encouraging the growth of distinctive regional cultures and identities. It includes a thorough discussion of Colombian politics that looks at the ways in which historical memory has affected political choices, particularly in the formation and development of the country's two traditional political parties. The authors explore the factors that have contributed to Colombia's economic troubles, such as the delay in its national economic integration and its relative ineffectiveness as an exporter. The three concluding chapters offer an authoritative and up-to-date examination of the impact of coffee on Colombia's economy and society, the social and political effects of urban growth, and the multiple dimensions of the violence that has plagued the country since 1946. Written in clear, vigorous prose, Colombia: Fragmented Land, Divided Society is essential for students of Latin American history and politics, and for anyone interested in gaining a deeper understanding of the history of this fascinating and tumultuous country.

This page outlines the various products available, and includes information on the main features and links to download locations.
This suite of products includes the following components.
The Enterprise Console component installs to a Windows server and allows you to update, manage and monitor installations of Sophos Anti-Virus from a central console. Managed systems may be running Windows, OS X or Linux. Systems may be grouped as required and policies that specify the way in which Sophos updates, scans and disinfects systems can be configured and deployed from the central console. Other features include reporting and synchronisation with Active Directory.
If you want to be able to fully manage and monitor the Sophos installations on all of your managed server and desktop systems, this is the product for you. Although the console requires a Windows server to run, it will allow you to manage Sophos installations on Windows, OS X and Linux. It will also manage update sources (but not allow monitoring or configuration of policies) for a number of other platforms such as Netware and various flavours of unix.
The Sophos Network Access Control (NAC) component requires Sophos Enterprise Console 3.1. Note that the version of Sophos NAC that is included in the Sophos Endpoint Security and Control Suite is not as fully featured as Sophos NAC advanced (which is not included in the site licence). Sophos provide a feature comparison list on their website.
Sophos Mobile Security is a self-contained package that supports a number of Windows Mobile editions. Sophos provide an overview which includes a list of the editions supported.
Registered Oxford University IT Support Staff can download components of the Sophos Endpoint Security and Control Suite from the IT Services ITSS Downloads site.
Sophos PureMessage is included in the Sophos site licence and provides virus and spam checking for Microsoft Exchange servers (2003 and 2007), and for Notes Domino (R6.5 and R7).
If you are using PureMessage on Exchange, please read the following Sophos advisory as a hotfix is required for some installations.
Registered Oxford University IT Support Staff can download PureMessage from the IT Services ITSS Downloads site.
Unconfigured standalone installers are available for a wide range of platforms including Windows (from 95), OS X, Linux, Netware and various flavours of unix. These are appropriate for departments and colleges that are not able or do not wish to run the full EndPoint Security and Control suite.
The standalone versions for Windows, OS X and Linux are also available preconfigured with credentials to allow them to automatically update from Sophos. These are designed to be easy to install with no configuration needed. They are available for Windows 2000/XP/2003/2008/Vista, OS X and certain versions of Linux. Two editions are available — University and Personal.
The University edition is for use on machines owned by the Collegiate University only. It may not be installed on machines owned by individuals. Three versions are available, for Windows 2000/XP/2003/2008/Vista, OS X and Linux. These clients are configured to update directly from Sophos using credentials that will not expire.
The Personal edition is for use on laptops and desktops machines owned by individuals who are members of the Collegiate University. Again three versions are available, for Windows 2000/XP/Vista, OS X and Linux. These also update directly from Sophos; however the credentials used expire on an annual basis (generally in November). This ensures that people who leave the University cannot continue to update Sophos once they are no longer entitled to. A new version with updated credentials is normally available from August or September each year and should be downloaded and installed before the old credentials expire in order to maintain access to updates.
If you are not sure which edition of the installer you have, or which edition is installed on a Windows PC, there are a number of ways to tell. For the installer, when run it will first unpack its files and then present a splash screen with a button to start the installation. At the bottom of this screen you will see For Personally-Owned PCs or For University-Owned PCs. For any operating system, once installed, you can tell from the username used to download updates from Sophos. Current usernames are shown in the IT Support Staff wiki (restricted access).
Standalone versions may be downloaded as follows.
Preconfigured Personal editions are available to individual members of the University from the IT Services Registration pages.
Support is available from a variety of sources as follows.
Problem: When a major update is released by Sophos which causes the product to re-install, this update might fail to apply.
Cause: There can be a variety of causes but this is most likely to occur because of changes to registry key permissions. Some programs alter the default registry permissions to ensure a successful installation. The common method is to replace the default windows permissions on HKLM and/or HKCR with a single entry: the Everyone group with full control. Sophos requires the Administrators group to have full control of both of these keys. Problems with HKCR are rare; problems with HKLM are more common.
Resolution: The latest versions of the personal and university installers will correct any permissions problems on HKLM, so reinstalling using the appropriate installer will normally correct the problem. If you are using Enterprise Console, or the problem is with HKCR, you will need to correct the problem manually or via a script. Run regedit, in turn, right-click the HKLM and HKCR hives and check the permissions. For each of these keys there must be an explicit entry for the Administrators group with permissions of Full Control. Reinstate any missing entries.
Problem: In a similar fashion to the above scenario of Sophos failing to update, Sophos will also fail to install if the HKLM and HKCR hives do not have full rights assigned to the Administrators group. Sophos can fail to install at various stages depending on exactly where the permissions fault lies. It can fail almost immediately, or appear to install successfully but fail to produce the blue shield in the System Tray.
Cause: Some programs alter the default registry permissions to ensure a successful installation. The common method is to replace the default windows permissions on HKLM and/or HKCR with a single entry: the Everyone group with full control. Sophos requires that the Administrators group has full control of both of these keys. Problems with HKCR are rare; problems with HKLM are more common.
Problem: Over the last few months we've seen a number of users who cannot install the v7 client due to the presence of another antivirus product on the system. The same problem may also be seen when Sophos tries to update automatically to a new major version (e.g. v6 to v7). The symptoms for a failed installation are as follows.
Sophos appears to install fine from the Installer, but the shield is grey with a red cross.
C:\Windows\temp contains the file Sophos Anti-Virus Competitor List.txt.
The C:\Program Files\Sophos folder only contains the folder AutoUpdate.
For cases where an update fails, the shield will generally be blue but with a red cross, and C:\Windows\temp contains the file Sophos Anti-Virus Competitor List.txt.
Cause: Sophos will not install or update to a new major version if a competitor antivirus product is installed. Sophos will also fail to install completely if residue from a previous antivirus product is detected on the system.
Ensure any previous antivirus products are uninstalled. If no other antivirus products appear to be present, the file Sophos Anti-Virus Competitor List.txt will detail any remaining registry keys which have been left which still need to be cleared before Sophos will install.
Run the Sophos installer once again.
Problem: Users cannot create scheduled scans, and see an error message referring to the use of an incorrect password, or one does not conform to policy, as shown below.
Cause: The Sophos client uses the Windows Scheduler service when configuring scheduled scans. By design the Scheduler service does not allow blank passwords irrespective of the local password policy.
Workaround: Users must set a non-null password in order to configure a scheduled scan.


Diet/Food For some reason I was extra hungry yesterday. I am doing the shred diet. For lunch I was SUPPOSED to have a turkey sandwich but INSTEAD I wanted chicken salad, then I was SUPPOSED to have for dinner lean protein,veggie and brown rice INSTEAD I ate fried fish, handful of fries and 2 pieces of cake!
Yeah but that was yesterday. Today I did 45 min of circuit training when I got home & ate all the food that was outlined on the plan.
For now I am off to bed. I do plan to do about 20 min of circuit in the morning and another 20 min when I get home .
i struggle to. i tend to eat mindlessly a lot. i did better at some points today. I just try to get back on track for the next meal or the next day.
Just remember to take one day at a time, and do your best. Remember, no one is perfect and you don't have to be either.

PS5 September Showcase: Date, Times, Livestream, Where To Watch, What's Being Shown And Everything We Know
One For The Books!
The console wars of 2020 are starting to kick into overdrive.
With Microsoft revealing the Series S along with the long-awaited price; the ball is now in Sony's court.
A new showcase has been revealed and we have all the details you could need to know!
When Is It?
Revealed during a tweet from the official PlayStation account; the showcase will be happening this week.
To be more specific it will be beginning on September 16th at the following times:
1 pm PT
4 pm EST
9 pm BST
You will be able to check out the showcase on either PlayStation'sTwitch or YouTube accounts.
What's Going To Be Shown
Although we do not know the specific details of what is going to be shown.
The official blog post from PlayStation regarding the showcase noted the following:
"Before PlayStation 5 launches this holiday, we wanted to give you one more look at some of the great games coming to PS5 at launch (and beyond!)."
"Our next digital showcase will weigh in at around 40 minutes, and feature updates on the latest titles from Worldwide Studios and our world-class development partners."
Games?
We can speculate we are going to get more news on first-party games from Sony.
Titles such as Spider-Man Miles Morales and Horizon Zero Dawn 2 are likely candidates.
Price?
Perhaps the most speculated aspect of the PS5 that is going to be revealed is the price.
After Microsoft announced the Series X and Series S prices, Sony looks to counter with the PS5's.
Not only will we likely see the price of the PS5 revealed, but we can also assume we will finally get a release date.
For those who do not know, the Series X/S will be releasing November 13th.
We wonder if Sony will release it on the same day or relatively close!


Author Philip Fleishman M.D. is a retired Plastic Surgeon who, in addition to writing thrillers, has been creating wood art for over forty years. His works include complicated intarsia, fretwork, custom furniture, delicate inlay, and some of the most creative and unusual pepper mills you will ever see.
While practicing Plastic Surgery he received many awards and honors for his work with burned patients. In 1973 the Centurions in Tucson Arizona named him "Physician of the Year" for his dedication to burn care in Southern Arizona. He is one of a very select group to ever receive the award of "Honorary Firefighter" by the Tucson Fire Department. His writing and wood art reflect the same precision and attention to detail that he brought to the practice of Plastic Surgery.
He lives in Tucson, Arizona, with his wife, Jane, and their two golden retrievers, Rosie and Sassy.

How Does a Walkie Talkie Work
A two-way radio is a device that can both receive and transmit voice messages. In broader terms, it can be said that most wireless communication, and it may include cellular systems, fall under the definition. However, these days, two-way radio is a term to describe radio system for group call communication. The two-way radio comes in several technical names such as Public Access Mobile Radio, Private Mobile Radio, Land Mobile Radio and Professional Mobile Radio. These present times, two-way radios are often called "walkie talkies". There are several kinds of two-way radio systems and some are able to make use of base and mobile configuration, while some re able to utilize a radio network infrastructure.
A typical two-way radio includes a PTT button, also known as Push-To-Talk button. The button activates the transmitter and the user simply needs to talk to the device to start communicating. The user must release the PTT button in order to receive transmissions from the other line.
A two-way radio is able to communicate with other radio devices. However, direct radio communication has very limited range. To overcome the problem, a radio network infrastructure may be used to extend the range of communications. The rest of the article is going to cover more details about how 2 way radios work and other useful information
Receiving Radio Waves
Just like other forms of Wireless communications, a two-way radio sends messages over the air. In order to achieve this, the antenna of a way radio contains a specific set of electrons. If the two-way radio features multiple channels, then there is specific sets of electrons are each channel. Whenever a radio transmission is received by the two-way radio, the electrons get excited. The electrons then create electrical impulses. Electrical impulses are then sent to a small processor, which will then convert the electrical impulses to words and sounds that can be understood by humans. The sounds are produced by the speakers within that the way radio.
Keep in mind that there are always radio waves are floating in the air. Because of it, there is always a nondescript sound that may be produced by the two-way radios. To solve the issue, a lot of two-way radios feature a "squelch" setting; and with it, the user can adjust the signal threshold for clearer communications
Sending Transmissions
Two-way radios can also send messages across the air. The main idea is to convert the sound to radio waves. However, the defining characteristic about the way radio is its ability the convert back the radio waves back to legible sounds.
Whenever a user speaks into a two-way radio, a membrane within the device will vibrate as a response to the sounds. The vibrations are sent to the processor, which in turn converts them to electrical impulses and readies it for transmission.. Finally, the transmission is sent to the antenna which is then broadcasted in the form of radio waves. These radio waves are then received by another device and convert them back to a legible sound
As two-way radios are getting more and more popular, it is possible for more than one party communicating in the same line or frequency. This can cause a lot of confusion and interference. To solve the problem, modern two-way radios are able to utilize multiple channels.
For a two-way radio to broadcast on multiple channels, the device must be able to generate radio waves in multiple frequencies. Furthermore, the device must be able to send frequencies with very little fluctuations. These fluctuations are actually caused by the transmitted voices. The fluctuations can be minimized through "frequency modulation". The modulated transmissions are then sent to the device's antenna.
The device must also excite the proper electrons. Once the proper electrons are excited, an outgoing radio wave is then produced.
These radio waves may be picked up by another device tuning into the same frequency. Furthermore, the device must be within range of the transmitting device. The range of two-way radio is usually determined by a couple of factors such as atmospheric conditions, radio's battery power and the size of the two-radio's antenna.
Whenever a device picks up the transmission, the receiving radio must filter the signals through an electronic filter known as a bandpass filter. Finally, the transmission is then converted back to sound.
Why Choose a Two Way Radio
The two-way radio is one of the earliest forms of wireless communication. However, in today's modernized communication environment, a question arises - is the way radio a viable technology? The answer to that question is a yes. This is because the two-way radio has its own unique advantages that may not be found in other forms of wireless communications. Below are two of them:
Instant Communication - the ability to communicate between two or more parties almost instantly is one of the most defining advantages of the two-way radio. A user only needs to press the "Push-To-Talk" button and within seconds a receiver will be able to receive the audio messages. Furthermore, the entire system is set up around the idea of "quick call" and "quick receive". This is the main reason why the organizations rely on the two-way radio technology for operational and tactical communications. The system can also make use of encryption technology for a more secure communication.
Group Communications
Another unique advantage of two-way radio is its ability to facilitate "group call" or "one-to-many" communications very efficiently. By efficient, it means that the user can communicate with one, hundreds or thousands at the same time. There is no need for a user to repeat the same message if he/she needs to communicate to more than one individual.
A two-way radio is one of the earliest technologies used for wireless communications. Even though it is a bit outdated compared to other forms of wireless communications, but the usefulness is still very applicable today. The main idea of how 2 way radios work revolves around on sending and receiving radio waves, which in turn is converted to legible sounds. The idea and technology behind two-way radio may be simple, but nevertheless it is still a very well-used form of communication in today's world.

Andover CC Southern Premier League Side
Status: OPEN | Views: 497
Club: Andover Cricket Club
Category: All Rounder, Batsman, Coach
Flight Included: Yes | Job Included: Negotiable | Accommodation: Yes
Date Listed: Dec 10, 2021
Andover CC are looking to resume their long standing tradition of bringing over a high quality overseas player following the COVID pandemic. We are a large, fun and sociable club in Hampshire, England who are looking to immediately bounce back into Division 1 of the Southern Premier Cricket League following relegation last year. The SPCL is one of the largest and highest quality ECB leagues in the UK and has attracted future stars such as Glen Maxwell, Travis Head, Adam Voges, Chris Rogers, George Worker, Chris Lynn, Luke Ronchi, Ryan Duffield and Jordan Silk. Our most recent overseas player was Chamika Karunaratne who has since played for Sri Lanka in all 3 formats, becoming a regular in the white-ball sides.
The club plays on an outstanding wicket, voted best ground in Hampshire in 2018 and runner-up each year since. It is quick and true, and offers some assistance to spin bowlers. Previous overseas players have found it to be a great introduction to English wickets.
We are prepared to support an overseas players travel, visa application and will source accommodation if necessary. League rules require overseas players to be an ECB Level 2 coach (or equivalent) and we would expect an overseas to be fully involved in supporting our Head Coach in delivering training sessions for our youth section on weekday afternoons/evening (Monday, Tuesday and Thursday) from May to July. Coaching will be renumerated according to experience.
We are a 40 minute train ride from central London and close to cities such as Winchester, Southampton and tourist hotspots such as Stonehenge (15 minute drive). We can also offer a free gym membership through a local sponsor.
If you are interested, please contact a********@mail.com. Please note our league rules prevent us from paying players to play.
We believe that cricket players, of all abilities, should be provided with the opportunity to play cricket overseas. We make it easy for clubs and players to find each other in a simple, quick and cost effective way.

About VTHistorie
VT develops innovative and advanced applications with clients and partners.
Innovative services
In addition to building ships with the latest technical gadgets, VT regularly develops and devises advanced and innovative applications in cooperation with its customers and partners.
For example, the consequences of autonomous ships are considered far ahead of this reality coming into existence; how will vessels moor, how are they loaded and off-loaded? Short-term changes with a high global priority, such as emission reductions and the use of alternative fuels for our propulsion, are also analyzed in order to come up with concrete solutions.
In addition to the high-tech equipment on the ships themselves, the information provision and order processing are also continuously optimized using our ICT infrastructure and automation.
Would you like to know more about the possibilities and solutions that VT can offer you? Contact us!
Mooring vessels is statistically one of the most dangerous operations for the ship and her crew. For bunkering, ship-to-ship mooring is the most common situation.
The risks associated with mooring are overcome by a well-trained crew and closely monitored procedures, but VT has also focused on eliminating the use of mooring lines. Without mooring lines, there is no longer a physical need for a crew member to moor and the greatest safety risk is removed. The intelligent docklocking system (iDL) is "automooring" technology developed in collaboration with Mampaey Offshore Industries, where by means of hydraulic arms, a magnetic or vacuum connection is made coupling with the ship's hull. In addition to being safer, this is also many times faster. In summary, an automooring system brings the following improvements:
Without mooring lines, there is no longer a physical need for a crew member to moor, removing the greatest safety risk on board a vessel
At the push of a button the system connects and disconnects and mooring becomes a matter of minutes
Faster mooring means an earlier shut-off for the engines. This saves fuel cost and reduces emissions of CO2
Mass flow meter system
The certified Coriolis Massflow measurement system is a well-established innovation in the field of load transfer measurement. It is based on the simultaneous measurement of mass flow, density, temperature and viscosity to provide an extremely accurate indication of exactly how much charge has been transferred.
VT's MTS Vlaardingen was the first ship in the world with a certified mass flow system on board (2010). Since then there have been many developments and VT has introduced the system on other vessels. VT has a co-operation with the two leading companies in the field of Coriolis Mass Flow Systems; Emerson Process Management and Endress+Hauser for this technology.
The Dutch Metrology Institute (NMi), has independently certified and sealed these on-board systems to guarantee an accurate, reliable system based on the global measurement standards OIML R117 and MID Europe . This also ensures compliance with European legislation on transfer of ownership (custody transfer).
Telemetry is the remote measurement of certain parameters (such as temperature, tank measurements, engine status), and the wireless telecommunication of this data to the necessary locations.
The new generation of VT ships has telemetry points, making it possible to monitor the entire ship online and even steer it in case of an emergency. The crew can fully control and monitor the ship from the wheelhouse, which can greatly improve safety.
For training purposes and incident investigation, the ship can print out a report itself, which can be supported by camera images, sound recordings and radar images. VDR data is used for preventive maintenance, performance review, incident investigation and training purposes, among other things.
