The IPS officer and his aide allegedly demanded bribe from the complainant for not arresting and diluting charges against him while presenting them before the court, the official said.
The man lodged a complaint with the ACB, which laid a trap on Monday and caught Yadav's aide Sunny Singh Bugai (34) while accepting Rs 1 lakh, the second instalment of the bribe amount, the official said.
An Indian Police Service (IPS) officer has been booked for allegedly accepting a bribe of Rs 1 lakh through his aide, a senior ACB official said on Saturday. G Vijay Krishnan Yadav, posted as probationary Sub-Divisional Police Officer (SDPO) at Nanded, around 550km from Mumbai in Marathwada region, had allegedly demanded Rs 3 lakh from a man facing theft charges to dilute his case, he said.
The total bribe was to be paid in three instalments, he said, adding Bugai has been placed under arrest. The 2015-batch IPS officer and his aide had earlier accepted the first instalments of Rs 1 lakh, he said.
An offence of theft had been registered against the 34 -year-old complainant at the Tivasa Police Station, the official said. Yadav and Bugai allegedly demanded bribe from the complainant for not arresting and diluting charges against him while presenting them before the court, he said.
Bugai accepted Rs 1 lakh as bribe at the behest of the IPS officer, the ACB official said. "We have arrested Bugai as of now and further investigation was on. We will look into the involvement of the IPS officer in this case," he added.

The Environment Agency has just announced that the final outline design for the River Thames Scheme is now complete.
According to the EA, the River Thames Scheme will reduce flood risk to people living and working near the Thames.
It will enhance the resilience of nationally important infrastructure, contribute to a vibrant local economy and create many recreational opportunities.
Between 2020 and 2025 the Environment Agency will build a new flood channel alongside the River Thames to reduce flood risk to properties in communities in Datchet, Wraysbury, Egham, Staines, Chertsey, Shepperton, Weybridge, Sunbury, Moseley, Thames Ditton, Kingston and Teddington.
The channel will be built in 3 sections and includes widening of the Desborough Cut and increasing the capacity of weirs at Sunbury, Moseley and Teddington by installing additional weir gates.
During the development, over 50 different options were considered to manage flood risk between Datchet and Teddington.
Data collection, surveys and engagement with stakeholders and communities have enabled the project team to design the most effective channel, reported the EA.
Now, the project team is working with partners in preparation for the planning application. The planning application will include the opportunity for communities to discuss the proposals and details of how to get involved will be published later this year.

Q: Loop output in R Dataframe I am new to R and looking to get for loop output in each iteration in one dataframe. Below is the code, where I am trying to get data in Results dataframe
for (i in 1:nrow(base_data)) {
LCS1 <- expand.grid(STREET=base_data$STREET[1:nrow(base_data)],REF_STREET=base_data$STREET[i])
LCS$LCS_stringdist=stringdist(LCS$STREET,LCS$Name1,method="lcs")
Results <- head(LCS[order(LCS$LCS_stringdist),],20)
}

A: I think the easiest way is to assign to items of a list and then bind into a data frame at the end.
results_list = list()

for (i in 1:nrow(base_data)) {
  LCS1 <- expand.grid(STREET=base_data$STREET[1:nrow(base_data)],REF_STREET=base_data$STREET[i])
  LCS$LCS_stringdist=stringdist(LCS$STREET,LCS$Name1,method="lcs")
  results_list[[i]] <- head(LCS[order(LCS$LCS_stringdist),],20)
}

Results = do.call(rbind, results_list)

## faster options in other packages
Results = dplyr::bind_rows(results_list)
Results = data.table::rbindlist(results_list)

Ryanair inaugurates a new base in Morocco
November 3, 2021 Aviation, Tourism Leave a comment 460 Views
Morocco will host the World Amateur Team Championships in 2027
Low-cost airline Ryanair inaugurated a new base at Agadir-Al Massira airport on Tuesday.
The inauguration of this base is part of the implementation of a partnership agreement concluded last July between the Moroccan National Tourist Office (ONMT) and Ryanair with a view to strengthening the attractiveness of the region. destination of Agadir.
"The airline has inaugurated its new base at Agadir-Al Massira airport by launching its first direct flight from Bologna to Agadir," the director of Agadir Al Massira airport, Mohamed Bahaj said, noting that this initiative will strengthen air links between the capital of Souss and 20 other destinations including Madrid, Barcelona, Rome, Napoli, Paris, Toulouse and Porto.
"These new airlines will further improve the attractiveness of the city of Agadir which currently offers around 33 international destinations managed by 12 airlines, in addition to domestic flights to the cities of Casablanca, Rabat, Fez, Tangier, Laâyoune and Dakhla", he clarified.
As part of the 2021-2025 investment program, Agadir-Al Massira airport will undergo redevelopment works to improve the quality of services for travelers, added Bahaj.
For her part, the director of the Regional Tourism Council (CRT) of Agadir Souss-Massa, Asmaa Oubou welcomed the inauguration of this new Ryanair base which will allow Moroccan and foreign travelers to better enjoy the city of Agadir, as a prime tourist destination.
In order to strengthen the attractiveness of Agadir, the ONMT has implemented a strategy focused in particular on strengthening air links from the main emitting basins, in this case France, Germany and the United Kingdom, as well as the integration of the Taghazout seaside resort into the Agadir brand.

Earlier this week, Kendall's 21 year old sister Kylie shared a photo of her and boyfriend Travis Scott on Instagram, which was captioned, 'baby #2?,' but Kendall insisted Kylie isn't pregnant.
Kendall Jenner cleared the air on her sister Kylie's rumored pregnancy and Super Bowl proposal, during an appearance on Ellen.
'They're practicing, right? Is that what you call it?' Jenner added.
Ellen also asked, because it's 'legally my responsibility,' if Kylie's boyfriend Travis Scott proposed to her during the Super Bowl.

The University of Minnesota Herbaceous Perennial Breeding Program is recognized as one of the premiere public-sector flower breeding project programs in the world. Our creation of new chrysanthemum plant habits (from large shrubs to groundcover types), discovery and breeding of reflowering, non-vernalization requiring lilies, release of USDA Zone 4 winter-hardy gladiolus, and cold-tolerant gaura are example research efforts enabling the generation of revitalized floricultural crops for the 21st century.
The new shrub chrysanthemums resulted in increased U.S. chrysanthemum sales from $104.8M (wholesale) in 2001 (when the first shrub type was released) to $123.65M (wholesale) in 2012, helping make mums the #1 herbaceous perennial in U.S. sales.
Shrub types also prompted growers to sell traditional cushion cultivars in larger containers to mimic shrub types. Winter hardy gladioli would not require digging the corms in the fall for overwintering; multiple flowering stems on each plant would increase cut stem yields.
Our advancements in lily breeding have resulted in the creation of colored, seed-propagated hybrids for continued development and domestication. Lilies, which flower under 1 year from seed and continuously flower thereafter, will significantly alter production and use of this crop as a cut flower, flowering potted plant, and garden perennial. Cut flower growers could harvest multiple stems/plant (rather than the standard 1 per bulb) continuously throughout the growing season (field) or in greenhouses (year-round)—rather than having to purchase and force a new crop of bulbs for each harvest. Flowering potted lilies would become dual-use products, enjoyed indoors for a holiday and then reflowered either indoors or outdoors for the growing season. As garden perennials, such lilies would allow for flowering throughout the season rather than just for less than 1 month.
Focus on preventing the creation of invasive ornamental floriculture crops prior to their release onto the market has led to research on contributing factors within the horticultural distribution channel, risk assessment, as well as plant traits to select against during domestication. Reed canarygrass, an ornamental herbaceous perennial, is being used as a model plant in which to study these factors. Continual incorporation of new traits, such as non-invasiveness and drought/heat tolerance will enable continued growth of the floriculture sector with readily adaptable germplasm. Testing for invasive potential of ornamental crops prior to market release must involve genotype-specific testing in multiple sites and locations over years, similar to the methodology used to assess winter hardiness. While costly, the long-term gains in preventing horticultural crop invasions are greater than selling non-winter hardy perennials.

About the Kitchissippi Times
All aboard for Soul Train Sundays at the Carleton Tavern
by editorkitchissippicom
By Jared Davidson –
The Flava Factory and Carleton Tavern have teamed up to make the Wellington West area a little funkier. Every third Sunday, the tavern will host Soul Train Sundays, an opportunity to enjoy some upbeat dance lessons in the company of neighbours who may be equally clueless when it comes to rhythm. The event is aimed at would-be dancers in their mid-twenties and upward, and caters to beginners especially: no prior training required. For the price of $10, attendees receive a 90-minute lesson that introduces several dance moves before tying them together into a routine.
The lesson is taught by representatives of Flava Factory, a neighbourhood dance studio that specializes in street style dance. The moves taught at Soul Train Sundays are borrowed from such styles as house, dance hall, and breakdance, but the focus is on hip hop from the 1980s and 90s. Expect plenty of sliding and clapping and be ready to, as House of Pain would say, jump around.
This kind of dance is a workout. Half way through the energetic inaugural class on March 20, most of the attendees were slightly red in the face, but smiling.
The class was led by Vanessa Lovell of Flava Factory. Her style, relaxed and encouraging, was conducive to a positive and friendly environment.
The Carleton Tavern is a surprisingly good venue for a dance class such as this. The staff pulled the tables and chairs toward the back of the tavern, creating a large dance floor in the front near the stained-glass windows. Participants arranged themselves in an aerobics class-style formation with Vanessa demonstrating moves from the front. It was a format that helped bring people in, and avoided putting anyone on the spot.
The welcoming atmosphere is a part of Flava Factory's mission to make this kind of dance accessible to anyone.

"Sometimes people will say 'I'm not a dancer' and 'I'll look ridiculous,'" says Vanessa. "But of course they're not as bad as they think they are."
The Flava Factory recently relocated from their south end location, and they're doing their best to get involved in the Hintonburg community. This is the first event of its kind, but they are looking to form more partnerships and help bring their style of dance to more people.
And if Soul Train Sundays is any indication, there is a market for this kind of event. On Sunday March 20th, there was plenty of energy in the room, and everyone seemed really into the routine, so much so that much of the class continued dancing long after the class had ended.
Though the date has yet to be confirmed, Soul Train Sundays will likely continue in mid-April. Vanessa hopes to see a lot of new faces in the crowd as well as repeat customers from the March 20 event.
"I'd really like people who are new to dance to come out because it helps them get a new perspective on dance," she says. "It helps some people get out of their shells."

Reigning ONE Welterweight World Champion Zebaztian "The Bandit" Kadestam of Sweden will make the first title defense against Georgiy "Knight" Kichigin of Kazakhstan, the main event for ONE: Reign of Valor set at the Thuwunna Indoor Stadium on March 8, 2019.
Kadestam captured the vacant ONE Welterweight World Championship with a stunning fifth-round knockout of previously unbeaten American Tyler McGuire last November. "The Bandit" showcased his dynamic striking skills and will now look to make his first ONE World Title defense against the veteran Kichigin.
Kichigin is a grappling specialist who hails from Almaty, Kazakhstan. He has amassed a stellar 20-5 professional mixed martial arts record, of which 16 victories have come by submission. "Knight" is currently riding an impressive 14-bout win streak, having not lost a match since November 2014.
Former ONE Bantamweight World Title challenger Toni "Dynamite" Tauru is making his return to the ONE cage, following a short break from competition. Gary "Saint Lion" Mangat of Williams Lake, British Columbia, Canada steps into the ONE cage looking to extend his win streak against Tauru.
Bozhena Antoniyar grew up in Loikaw, the capital city of Myanmar's Kayah State. She began training in martial arts at the age of 16, and ultimately became a two-time National Boxing Champion. Stepping up to face Bozhena Antoniyar is Malaysia's Audreylaura "Ice Comet" Boniface.
Making his professional mixed martial arts debut is Tial Thang, who squares off with Cambodian Kun Khmer practitioner Rin Saroth, a former KWC 3 Featherweight Tournament Finalist with a 110-22 record in Kun Khmer. Tial Thang and Saroth will face each other in a 68-kilogram catch weight bout.

CASE DISMISSED-Van Nuys Courthouse. Client on active military duty in Iraq was charged with disorderly conduct when he returned home to visit his family. Mr. Weinrieb worked the prosecutor and explained how any criminal conviction could greatly harm his client's successful military career. The prosecutor made the correct decision and decided to dismiss this case.
Garret Weinrieb was referred to me by a trusted friend after I was falsely arrested by the L.A.P.D. in their attempt to transform my future into the posture of perpetual supplication. I knew from my very first meeting with Garret he was the suitable choice. Many defense attorneys in this city are cowards when facing the L.A.P.D and try to force their innocent clients to take preposterous plea deals. Plea deals are a trick of the prosecution (unconstitutionally imposed on the poor in my opinion) strictly to give you a conviction on your record while saving prosecutors the headache of trial and simultaneously "saving" you thousands of dollars by not going to trial. Sounds good right? WRONG! The "savings" you get with a plea deal conviction on your record will cost you a fortune in the long run when you can't find a job, can't rent an apartment and permanently lose your right to vote. Because of these obvious conclusions most people don't utilize the time to brainstorm; I decided to take a chance with a trial. Garret was brutally honest with my options and backed my decision all the way. Garret is not one of those shysters who will take your money and you never hear from him again. He would always respond to my messages by phone or email the same day. He worked diligently to construct my defense and get me ready for trial. I could see early on that Garret was considerably more prepared than the prosecutors. He was always ten steps ahead doing his own investigation of my case, finding and interviewing witnesses long before the prosecutors did. Garret's expeditious and astute strategy reminded me of one of my favorite quotes from a former lawyer and the first Republican American President Abraham Lincoln, "I dared not trust the case on the presumption that the court knows everything. In fact, I argued it on the presumption that the court didn't know anything." In conclusion because Garret was substantially more equipped for trial than the prosecutors, it ultimately compelled them to dismiss my case entirely just a few days before jury selection. Because I could never submit myself to malicious prosecution I had to find a defense attorney who was not only smart but possessed true grit. I got exactly what I wanted with the unfounded case against me consigned to the dustbin of Los Angeles criminal court history. I was extremely lucky and very grateful to have had Garret Weinrieb on my side.
Van Nuys Court - MOTION TO TERMINATED PROBATION EARLY GRANTED. Our client can now travel outside of the United States and be reunited with his wife and children. Family unification.
San Fernando Court - CASE DISMISSED. Client was charged with resisting arrest. We knew the prosecutor was not ready for trial so we marched forward and announced that we were ready for trial. When the day for jury trial arrived the prosecutor was forced to dismiss the case against our client. Our client is overjoyed and can now return to her normal life.
CASE DISMISSED AT TRIAL- Van Nuys Courthouse- Our client was charged with domestic violence, assault by means or force likely to produce great bodily injury, and battery. There were offers on the case. The client rejected the offers based on conversations with Mr. Naderi about the case. Mr. Naderi set the case for trial. The case was dismissed prior to trial.
PROBATION- San Fernando Courthouse- Mr. Naderi's client was charged with vehicular manslaughter caused during a vehicle on motorcycle crashed. Mr. Naderi was able to obtain a probationary offer for his client. NO JAIL.
MULTIPLE COUNTS DISMISSED- Client retained this office after being charged with multiple counts of child molestation and child annoyance. There were multiple victims and the client was in a position of trust with the children. Mr. Naderi was able to obtain a NO JAIL agreement and probation for the client.
CASE DISMISSED- San Fernando Courthouse- Mr. Naderi's client was charged with a felony domestic violence with injuries. Mr. Naderi represented the client throughout the process and set the case for trial. The case was dismissed prior to trial.
CHARGES DISMISSED- San Fernando Courthouse- Mr. Naderi's client was charged with carjacking with a gun (A strike), criminal threats with a gun (A strike), and felon in possession of a firearm. Mr. Naderi's client also had a prior strike. His maximum exposure was close to 25 years in the state prison. Mr. Naderi pushed the case to trial. End result was a dismissal of ALL of the prison charges, no strike, and probation with community service.
CASE DISMISSED. Mr. Weinrieb's 18 year old client, a college student, was charged with petty theft/commercial burglary. Mr. Weinrieb arranged a settlement deal with the District Attorney where the case was dismissed upon the client's completion of community service. The client was NOT required to enter a plea prior to the dismissal of the case.

Q: How does one know T(a) is the base case in T(n) = T(n-a) + T(a) + cn T(n) = T(n-a) + T(a) + cn
Solve by drawing recursion tree.
Typically when solving other recursion tree problems, I've calculated the height of the tree in terms of when the subproblems reach T(1).  Why is it in this case that the height of the tree is determined by the "base case" T(a) instead of T(1)?

A: One hint: T(a)=O(1)
Since a is already fixed, then T(a) is a constant, so are T(a-1),T(a-2),T(2) etc.
You don't need to calculate T(a) to the base case, as long as it's a constant.

The lips on my upper right bicep are my girlfriend's lips. She has the most amazing lips, and I wanted to carry them around with me everywhere I go, considering I can't carry her lips physically with me. So I decided to place them in a discreet location, such as the inside part of my bicep.

Writing fiction is for me a fraught business, an occasion of daily dread for at least the first half of the novel, and sometimes all the way through. The work process is totally different from writing nonfiction. You have to sit down every day and make it up.
In Britain, by contrast, we still think that class plays a part in determining a person's life chances, so we're less inclined to celebrate success and less inclined to condemn failure. The upshot is that it's much easier to be a failure in Britain than it is in America.

If you know me, you know I love to bake, & I am always looking for an excuse to do so. So when my friend, Libby suggested we make some Easter treats for our staff at work, I of course said yes. We decided to do frosted sugar cookie cut outs, and cupcakes. For the cookies, we used the same recipe that I used for Christmas cookie cutouts, but I will admit, that we took the easy way out and used store bought frosting.
Then with flour on the rolling pin, we rolled out the dough to 1/4 inch think and cut out our chicks, eggs, bunnys and carrots!
While the cookies were baking we prepped our icing.. Choosing 8 different colors + white!
Let the cookie decorating begin!
Chris, Kelly and I had a blast decorating cookies with frosting, icing, & candies!
While we were decorating cookies.. Libby made some cupcakes (little Easter Bunnies, & Easter Baskets) She used white frosting, & then coconut and jelly beans!


My career can be divided into four parts.
Part One. The Early Years. Junior & Senior High School. Part Two. The Formative Years. College & Grad School. Part Three. The Building Years. Salaried Jobs. Part Four. The Power Years. Fine Tuning.
Each taught me valuable lessons and helped shaped me as a leader. Even the most menial job can do that, if we pay attention.
Paperboy. Hardly 12, I earned my first pocket change as a Normal Rockwell'ish paperboy. I delivered news for three years. I woke at o'dark thirty and tossed the Colorado Springs Sun to 95 doorsteps. I learned that customers, holidays, nor weather cared if I was tired or sick. Or both. I was responsible and accountable. I overcame shyness cold calling while collecting subscription payments. I learned money management and customer service. A leader is someone others count on, sleet or sleep.
Referee. Simultaneously, I began to officiate soccer. Dad was the Colorado referee commissioner and mom the assigner. I started out with recreational leagues. Logging hundreds of games, I earned my way to the collegiate level in my teens. I learned confidence. I vividly recall a collegiate game at the United States Air Force Academy Falcon Stadium. As a Linesmen, I called the out of bounds ball in favor of the visiting team. Visible to no one but me and the player, the ball glanced the Air Force defender calf. As the crowd voiced displeasure, she ran by saying, "good call." A leader makes tough calls even when unpopular.
Janitor. My most impactful work was serving as a medical facility janitor. Each weekday evening, I had three hours to mop, sweep and buff the floors of a large outpatient clinic. I can still see, smell and feel the moment. While cleaning exam rooms, Black Sabbath screaming on my Walkman, I discovered my healthcare calling. I knew in my heart I was created to serve. I learned attention to detail. If I left anything unclean, it was reported. I served so that there were zero complaints. No matter your position, a leader never forgets their roots.
Humility. I exist to serve others. Delivering papers, ensuring a fair game, or mopping vomit. The world is not about me. I have a small role in a big world. I must never forget.
Responsibility. If I do not rise early, there is no paper on the door step. If I don't sweep an exam room, it remains dirty for the patient. If I do not enforce soccer rules, the game is meaningless. I must be action oriented.
Reward. If I do not seek new subscribers and collect money, I don't get paid. If I do not meet customer expectations, I am fired. If I do not hone my ref skills, I lose assignments. I must earn my pay every day.
Hard Work. To keep jobs, I must produce good outcomes. On snow days it means extra time scrubbing floors. I have to be as sharp officiating my seventh weekend game as my first. There is no substitute to take my paper route if I am sick. I must be accountable.
Reflection provides powerful motivation and informs us how to raise other leaders around us.
I am struck how our First Jobs set the foundation for our future careers. I do not know where I would be without these formative experiences. Early experiences with accountability, hard work, and humility are the stones we use to pave the way for success. We should not shelter people from challenging work. First Jobs are worth looking back upon to make adjustments in places we lost our way.
What was your first job and a key lesson learned that shapes you today?

Should one person lead two different government agencies? U.S. government images
Should NSA and Cyber Command have separate leadership?
October 5, 2016 6.01am EDT
Stuart Madnick, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Stuart Madnick
Professor of Information Technology and Engineering Systems, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
Stuart Madnick receives funding for his MIT research from various government and corporate organizations, but nothing that relates to the opinions expressed in this article.
The National Security Agency is the nation's digital spying organization. U.S. Cyber Command is a military unit focused on cyberwarfare. Does it make sense for one person to lead them both at the same time?
That has been the case since Cyber Command's inception in 2009. But recently, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter and Director of National Intelligence James Clapper have been urging President Obama to divide the two leadership roles. The change, they say, would help Cyber Command become an independent fighting force that doesn't require support from another agency – the NSA.
The NSA's job is a defensive one, monitoring internet communications worldwide and gathering information to help the government understand what other countries are doing (or planning), and to resist foreign efforts to learn about what the U.S. is up to. By contrast, Cyber Command is a military unit, with a largely offensive mission. It is tasked with ensuring that the U.S. has unchallenged online superiority, able to shut down or disrupt the cyberoperations and networks of adversaries.
Clearly there are similarities that suggest the two agencies should cooperate and share knowledge. For example, the NSA needs to penetrate foreign networks to collect data. Cyber Command also needs to break into others' computer systems, though for a very different purpose, such as shutting down an electric power grid. As a scholar of both information technology and management, I know that the key factor to consider in deciding on joint or separate leadership is not cooperation, but rather focus.
Given their respective offensive and defensive roles, separate leadership would be the best way to provide clear direction for each.
Sharing leadership
There are precedents for sharing – and splitting – leadership. There is, of course, the current situation, in which the NSA and Cyber Command are both headed by Navy Admiral Michael S. Rogers. In the military, this is often called a "dual-hat arrangement," because one leader "wears two hats" by holding two posts at the same time.
A useful example from history is the evolution of the U.S. Army Air Corps. From its formation in 1926 to 1941, the Army Air Corps was primarily used to support ground troops, rather than as an offensive force in its own right. During that period, though, there was continuous debate about whether air and ground units would work better with separate leadership.
As World War II began and strategists' understanding of the strength of airborne weapons developed, the groundwork was laid for separating ground and air power: In a 1941 administrative reorganization of the Army, the renamed Army Air Force became one of three independent commands. In 1947 the split was complete with the creation of the U.S. Air Force that we know today.
We do not want to wait until World War Cyber is upon us to resolve the debate this time. We need to have a fully functional fighting force capable of taking offensive action in the case of potential, and likely, cyberwarfare.
Overlapping technology
Both the NSA and Cyber Command use computers and computer networks. Both use – and seek to break – encryption software as well as tools to hack into networks, such as phishing methods, and various types of malware to extract information.
In the military there are plenty of examples of different units relying on similar tools. For instance, look at aircraft use. In addition to the Air Force, the Army, Navy, Marines and Coast Guard all use planes and helicopters. Some of those aircraft are even identical (or nearly so), such as the C-130 "Hercules" cargo plane and the UH-60 "Black Hawk" helicopter. Just because different groups use the same equipment does not mean they must share a single leader.
Determining relative priority
We can also take a lesson from the corporate world, where responsibilities vary widely. In a panel discussion that I led in May, questions to the audience revealed that in some companies, the head of cybersecurity defense efforts reports to the head of the information technology department. But in other cases the cybersecurity chief reported to the chief financial officer, or even to the head of the company's legal department. Increasingly we are hearing that cybersecurity leaders report directly to the firm's CEO.
The panel members viewed cybersecurity as an inherently cautious task, where evaluating risk is important. By contrast, information technology departments often push for rapid innovation and accelerating change. As a result of those conflicting goals, the panelists came to the consensus that those efforts should be managed separately.
Using similar logic, I believe that the NSA and Cyber Command should be under separate leadership, so each can pursue its mission with undivided focus and complete intensity. The NSA can gather intelligence. Cyber Command can defend our military networks and be ready to attack the systems of our enemies.

This light, refreshing, lemony no bake dessert is going to become your family's favorite spring and summertime treat!
Crush the entire package of oreos either in a blender with a chop/crush setting, a food processor or by smacking them with a mallet/meat tenderizer while they are in a ziplock baggie. Melt your butter and add them to the crumb mixture in a gallon size ziploc baggie, closed securely. Mix and mush it up really good and consistent. Dump the mixture into the bottom of a pie plate and press evenly in bottom and up the sides of the pie plate.
In a large mixing bowl with your stand mixer or electric handheld mixer, beat your softened cream cheese REALLY WELL on medium to medium high speed, scraping down the sides often to make sure it's really smooth. It will get a little bit fluffy. Once all of the clumps are gone, add in the sweetened condensed milk and lemon juice and zest slowly as you continue to beat it all together and continue to scrape down the sides of your bowl while it mixes.
Once it's all incorporated, mix it on medium speed for an additional 5 minutes. Pour your mixture into your prepared oreo crust in the pie plate. Jiggle it a little and if needed, smooth it out evenly with a spatula. Use your zester and add some extra zest over the top if you'd like! Refrigerate uncovered for at least two hours so it sets up really nicely. Serve and enjoy!

I caved into myself on the track yesterday walking in another brainwave state. Up the bleachers and down; my mind in translucence.
Light descends through dappled viridescent leaves as delicate butterflies; olive wings and emerald swallowtails. Words that remind me of jewelled angels.
Light cascades in wind that ruffles the feathers of a Canadian goose munching grass on the sideline of the wide, looping track.
This light that I love that encourages me to see beyond the kaleidoscope of Māyā. Yet, there is So much beauty in each breath of illusion. My mind stays here in the shallow waters as I gasp for air now in exertion I reach the top of the bleachers ready to twirl into descent once again. I calm myself into the trance and slip into a deeper inquiry. What is the truth of your Light?
Clarity. What is clear begins with the abundance of light. Spectrums and spirals, toroids, tachyons, and pulses that create the story of my Self.
One of these days I'll see with my eyes closed. One of these days the light will stay when the shades of the lids are drawn tight. One of these days the density of each fiber of my being will weave into starlit atomic structure - so free- there will be no shadow.
This is your Light, Beloved. All of Māyā. All of me. All of Truth.
"from the unreal lead me to the real, from the dark lead me to the light, from death lead me to immortality"

How Biden's Climate Plans Will Shake Up Global Energy Markets
Jason Bordoff
Climate Change & EnvironmentInternational SecurityUnited States
U.S. President-elect Joe Biden will come to office in January with the most ambitious climate plan of any U.S. president in history. But investors and corporate executives are wondering how big an impact the Biden administration can actually have on global energy markets—including renewable energy, oil, and gas—if Republicans retain control of the Senate and the Democrats have a narrower majority in the House of Representatives. For answers, one should look not only to Biden's domestic agenda but also to his foreign policy and choice of former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry as his international climate envoy.
Given that Biden will be more constrained in passing new legislation if Republicans retain control of the Senate in the Georgia runoff elections on Jan. 5, he may lean even more heavily on areas where the executive branch has existing legislative or constitutional authority. Among the most significant is the conduct of foreign policy. Selecting someone of Kerry's stature as climate envoy and giving that person cabinet rank and a seat on the National Security Council signal that the Biden administration intends to go far beyond just rejoining the Paris climate agreement to make climate change a top foreign-policy priority. The policy shifts that result—in areas as diverse as international trade, development finance, nonproliferation, and diplomacy—will do at least as much as his domestic agenda to shake up global energy markets and give a boost to clean energy firms and technologies.
First, Biden has promised to use the tools of trade policy to expand clean energy. The scale and pace of the transition required to meet climate goals will result in large increases in global shipments of clean energy technologies and products such as batteries, solar panels, critical minerals including lithium and cobalt, and eventually low-carbon fuels such as hydrogen. By elevating climate change as a trade concern and returning to trade norms weakened by the Trump administration, Biden can pursue bilateral and multilateral agreements that make government subsidies for clean energy companies and products more permissible under trade rules, while still combating China's damaging practices. Climate change is likely to receive greater attention next year when Congress reauthorizes the Trade Promotion Authority, which sets parameters for the president's negotiation of trade agreements.
Biden has promised to impose border tariffs on carbon-intensive imports from abroad. The European Union is already planning such a measure, and it would be preferable for the United States and Europe to cooperate rather than subject each other's exports to tariffs. In the World Trade Organization (WTO), reforms to bolster clean energy might include allowing goods and services with lower carbon content to be treated more favorably even though they are alike in other respects, raising the bar or imposing delays (so-called peace clauses) before national climate measures that restrict trade can be challenged, and allowing greater state subsidies supporting lower carbon energy than permitted under current trade rules. Other possible trade agreement provisions could allow nations greater leeway for public procurement of clean energy technologies and the reduction of tariffs on clean energy products.
Second, no relationship is more consequential for global clean energy markets than that between the United States and China, which together are responsible for nearly half of global emissions. On the one hand, it will be critical to build on bilateral climate diplomacy begun under former U.S. President Barack Obama. China recently pledged to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060 while barely changing its 2030 targets, so a Biden administration can be expected to push China to deliver faster progress. A return to the trade norms of the WTO may also reduce trade frictions between the United States and China and lead to greater trade in energy and clean energy products.
On the other hand, there remain significant issues of contention in the U.S.-China trade relationship, including cybersecurity, intellectual property theft, unfair subsidies, and protectionism. Biden is also likely to confront China over political repression in Hong Kong and human rights abuses against Uighurs in Xinjiang. These issues may undermine trade, including that in energy technologies and products. Yet they may also spur greater U.S. innovation in clean energy as Washington increasingly works to protect the technological leadership of U.S. firms. The Biden administration will be more likely to match China with its own policies to promote certain industries seen to hold competitive and strategic advantages for the United States. Indeed, Biden's pick for national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, argued last year for just such an approach toward China, pairing economic competition with cooperation on transnational threats such as climate change, global pandemics, nonproliferation, and military escalation.
Third, the Biden administration will have significant influence with multilateral finance institutions such as the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, as well as many regional development banks, to put climate change at the heart of development finance and encourage lending practices that promote low-carbon energy technologies and infrastructure. The United States is now able to bring much more to the table when it partners with other development finance institutions following bipartisan legislation in 2018 that created the U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC). With the DFC, the U.S. government now has much greater leeway to make equity investments and loans, including in local currencies to riskier borrowers, which makes it easier to partner with other countries, multilateral development banks, and private investors.
Since energy is essential for economic development, the electricity sector is by far the largest recipient of loans from development finance institutions around the world. Development finance can also be an important source of U.S. soft power. Biden has consistently said he would "hold China accountable" for its global investments in coal projects through the Belt and Road Initiative. Doing so will require putting cleaner, yet still financially viable, options on the table for emerging-market countries as an alternative to Chinese investments. The newly empowered DFC is a powerful tool to deliver these alternatives, especially in concert with the development finance institutions of like-minded U.S. allies. By elevating climate change to a priority for DFC, a Biden administration can mitigate private sector investment barriers—such as long project timelines and local currency fluctuations—and help unlock the trillions of dollars of capital that will be needed for global clean energy investments.
Fourth, the Biden administration has pledged to fulfill the United States' 2014 commitment to provide climate-related assistance to poor countries, of which $2 billion is still outstanding. The U.S. Treasury Department also has other tools of climate finance at its disposal, such as how it responds to the looming global debt crisis in the wake of COVID-19. Modeled on the debt-for-nature swaps of the 1980s and 1990s that linked debt relief to investments in biodiversity and reforestation, including debt-for-climate swaps in debt restructuring negotiations could drive investment into low-carbon energy, energy efficiency, or conservation of forests and other carbon sinks.
Fifth, the Biden administration has pledged a significant increase in research and development funding and multilateral collaboration on clean energy innovation. Innovation is key to achieving climate goals and attracts bipartisan support across a range of technologies such as renewables, advanced nuclear, and carbon capture. The International Energy Agency projects that to reach net-zero emissions by 2050, half of the cumulative emissions reductions will have to come from technologies that are not yet commercially available. A National Energy Innovation Mission, as recently proposed by scholars at Columbia University's Center on Global Energy Policy, of which I am the director, would triple federal funding for energy innovation, not only in early stage research but also the deployment and commercialization of technologies. Through its climate diplomacy, the Biden administration can build R&D collaboration with other countries and speed up the development of new technologies by allowing countries with different skills and capabilities to share costs and expertise. Changing the cost profile of clean energy through innovation can speed the pace of transition in other countries and open new markets to clean energy firms.
Sixth, the U.S. nuclear and construction industries may get a boost under Biden. Scenarios for achieving a decarbonized global energy system by 2050 show that significantly more nuclear power is needed. Moreover, U.S. national security interests in nuclear nonproliferation argue in favor of rebuilding U.S. leadership in nuclear energy and strengthening nuclear cooperation agreements with other countries. At present, Russia and China have become the dominant global players in nuclear technology, giving them geopolitical influence to shape and influence the rules and norms in the sector.
Finally, the Biden administration is likely to go beyond negotiations over higher emission reduction targets after reentering the Paris climate agreement and also focus on implementation tools to achieve national commitments. Targets are important, but many nations are already falling short of meeting their initial Paris commitments, let alone higher ones. The Biden administration can use foreign and technical assistance, for example through the U.S. Agency for International Development and the national laboratories, to close the gap between ambition and reality. A key priority should be developing new financial tools, technological innovations, and economic diversification strategies to help China, India, and other countries where emissions are rapidly rising, not only to stop building new coal-fired power plants but also to phase down emissions from existing plants.
Biden's impact on clean energy firms may be especially pronounced in the United States. That's because underlying climate policy efforts will be a reeling domestic economy as the coronavirus pandemic continues, with unemployment at 7 to 8 percent and millions of Americans unable to pay their rent and other bills. Indeed, his domestic climate agenda is already aimed at putting Americans back to work. Given what is likely to be a divided government, foreign-policy tools that both curb emissions and spur job growth will thus be particularly appealing. That may strengthen the desire to invest in innovation; use export credits to assist strategic clean energy sectors such as battery storage; direct DFC funding to support U.S. businesses in energy technology, construction, or infrastructure that are competing for overseas investment opportunities (explicitly part of DFC's mandate); or shape trade rules and competition with China to permit targeted U.S. support for strategic domestic sectors.
While the Biden administration's impact on global energy markets will be significant for clean energy firms and technologies, it will affect oil and gas markets as well. Perhaps the most significant impact on these sectors would come from a return to the Iran nuclear agreement, which would result in large volumes of Iranian oil returning to an already oversupplied market as sanctions are lifted, thus depressing oil prices further, even if market optimism about getting the pandemic under control with the new vaccines would give commodities a boost. A Biden presidency increases the likelihood of further Russia sanctions that could also target energy companies. Concerns about deteriorating relations with Washington may also drive Riyadh and Moscow toward even stronger cooperation in OPEC+. Biden's pledge to ban new oil and gas leasing on federal lands would affect domestic production over time as output from existing wells and leases gradually declines. At the same time, policies that curb U.S. gas flaring and methane leaks could make U.S. oil and gas exports more competitive in markets such as the European Union, where energy imports have to meet increasingly high environmental standards. Biden's biggest impact on oil and gas will come over time as his ambitious efforts to achieve climate goals and promote deep decarbonization would curb the demand for hydrocarbons.
The Biden administration's ability to drive ambitious climate action abroad is, of course, linked to its domestic agenda. Progress at home will enhance its credibility abroad and effect certain tools like border carbon adjustments. At the same time, domestic policies, even if limited by a divided Congress, can be amplified on the global stage through Biden's authority in the international realm to use foreign policy tools to help deliver both clean-energy growth and domestic economic renewal. As a result, one of the Biden administration's most enduring legacies in global energy markets may be how diplomacy and geoeconomic tools in international finance, development assistance, trade, and innovation will have brightened the outlook for clean energy and expanded opportunities for U.S. firms in the sector.

'Bohemian Rhapsody' Cast Knew It Would Clear Production Hurdles
Martin Kielty Published: November 6, 2018
The cast of the Freddie Mercury movie Bohemian Rhapsody knew the project would overcome its production problems, including the firing of director Bryan Singer toward the end of filming, Gwilym Lee said.
The actor – who plays Brian May in what could become the biggest-grossing music biopic in history – recalled how the entire production team had become determined to complete the project after eight years of hurdles.
"We always knew the film was going to get finished," Lee told the Hollywood Reporter. "Because everyone was so invested in it. Everyone was very, very passionate about this film – cast and crew. So even on the toughest days, we all looked at each other and we knew we'd get each other through. In the face of adversity there was an incredible bond between everybody on set. There was a certainty that it was going to get done."
"We felt like produced cared so deeply about this," added Joe Mazzello, who plays John Deacon. "The crew, if things would go wrong on set and they had to stay for three hours over, they would stay for 'the boys' – talking about us. It was so moving because everyone just felt like a family. … When you feel that kind of respect and love for one another, you know the movie's going to get finished and it's going to get finished well."
Meanwhile, REO Speedwagon keyboardist Neal Doughty revealed he'd been surprised to hear his band name-checked in Bohemian Rhapsody, while he and his wife watched the movie during its opening weekend.
They're discussed in a scene leading up to Live Aid in 1985, where Queen will deliver an unforgettable performance in London, while REO Speedwagon take part in the Philadelphia show. "They're talking to Queen about playing Live Aid, and our name gets mentioned!" Doughty told Billboard. "They're going, 'Paul McCartney's gonna be there and Elton John and the Who and REO Speedwagon.' I had no idea we were mentioned in the movie. I'm going, 'Boy, they sure put us in some good company with that. … We've been in some bad movies, but never one that was No.1 like this."
