Terrence William "Blondie" Chaplin (born 7 July 1951) is a South African singer and guitarist from Durban, where he played in the band the Flames in the mid to late 1960s. From 1972 to 1973, he was a member of the Beach Boys and contributed to their albums Carl and the Passions – "So Tough" (1972) and Holland (1973). During his stint with the Beach Boys, he sang the lead on the classic song, "Sail On Sailor".  Chaplin was a long-term backing vocalist, percussionist, and acoustic rhythm guitarist for the Rolling Stones on their recordings and tours over a 15-year period, starting in 1997. Chaplin has released two solo albums, Blondie Chaplin (1977) and Between Us (2008).

Biography

Chaplin grew up in South Africa under apartheid where he was classified as Coloured. Both Chaplin and Ricky Fataar were members of Durban-based rock band The Flames, which they joined at ages 13 and 9, respectively. Their 1968 album Soulfire produced a hit in South Africa: the band's cover of "For Your Precious Love" was #1 on white radio for thirteen weeks.

Beach Boy Carl Wilson heard The Flames while the band was performing in London. Wilson signed them to the Beach Boys' Brother Records label and produced their self-titled album, The Flame (changed from Flames, to avoid confusion with The Famous Flames who were backup singers with James Brown), which featured soulful rock/pop songs in the vein of The Beach Boys and Badfinger. The Flames were the only band aside from The Beach Boys to record for Brother Records.

Chaplin, along with drummer Ricky Fataar, joined the Beach Boys when original drummer Dennis Wilson suffered a hand injury that left him unable to play the drums for almost two years.

For the Beach Boys, it was a period in which long-time member Bruce Johnston had departed the band, and one-time leader Brian Wilson's participation in the group was very limited. As a result, Chaplin and Fataar joined the Beach Boys as full-fledged members and not merely as backing musicians. Chaplin left the group in 1973 after a dispute with the Beach Boys' management; Fataar left the band the following year.

Chaplin sang lead on various Beach Boys songs from two studio albums, Carl and the Passions – "So Tough" and Holland, and plays on the live album The Beach Boys in Concert. "Sail On, Sailor" from the album Holland, on which he is the lead singer, is his "signature song".

Following his time with the Beach Boys, Chaplin recorded a self-titled album, released on Asylum Records in 1977. He also performed on Rick Danko's self-titled début album, which also featured each of Rick's former bandmates from The Band in addition to Ronnie Wood, Eric Clapton, Doug Sahm, and Danko's brother, Terry.

Chaplin went on to tour with the David Johansen group and participated in producing Johansen's third solo album Here Comes the Night, on which Chaplin played guitar and sang backing vocals and co-authored seven tracks. During the late 1980s Chaplin toured with The Band, replacing some of Richard Manuel's vocals and playing guitar and, occasionally, drums.

During the 1980s, Chaplin also toured with a band featuring Rick Danko and Paul Butterfield, and was guitarist and vocalist, as well as contributing a tune as songwriter, on Butterfield's last studio album, The Legendary Paul Butterfield Rides Again, released in 1986.

Chaplin was also a featured player in former Byrds members Gene Clark and Michael Clarke's then new band, The 20th Anniversary Celebration of the Byrds, also known as the Tribute to the Byrds. Chaplin appeared on the Jennifer Warnes albums Shot Through the Heart, The Hunter, and The Well.

Chaplin also played on High on the Hog, the ninth studio album by The Band, released in 1996, to which he also contributed his composition, "Where I Should Always Be."

Chaplin toured with former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor and performed on his live album, Stranger in This Town. Starting in 1997, with the recording and release of the Bridges to Babylon album and subsequent tour, and, for some 15 years following, Chaplin served as a backing vocalist, percussionist, and, at times, backing guitar player for The Rolling Stones, in the recording studio and on the road. The Bridges to Babylon album lists Chaplin's credits as backing vocals, tambourine, piano, bass guitar, percussion, shakers, and maracas.

Chaplin is the vocalist, songwriter, and lead guitar player with Skollie, a band formed with fellow South Africans Keith Lentin on bass and Anton Fig (of the CBS Orchestra) on drums. Chaplin has recorded three solo albums, most recently Between Us in 2006.

In late 2013, Chaplin was featured at select shows of former Beach Boys bandmate Brian Wilson and guitarist Jeff Beck. Chaplin also appears on Wilson's 2015 album No Pier Pressure, on which he is the featured vocalist on the song, "Sail Away", and he then went on tour as a featured performer, along with Al Jardine, for Brian Wilson's 2015 tour, with Rodriguez as the opening act.

He joined Wilson's Pet Sounds 50th Anniversary World Tour in 2016, performing alongside the touring band and has continued to tour with Wilson through 2022.

On 29 September 2017, Big Noise's Al Gomes and Connie Watrous presented a plaque from Roger Williams University to Chaplin at The Zeiterion Theatre in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Chaplin's response to the sold-out audience at the "Brian Wilson Presents Pet Sounds" show: "I played a lot in these parts in 1971, and it's nice to be remembered this way." The plaque commemorates The Beach Boys' 22 September 1971 concert at The Ramada Inn in Portsmouth, Rhode Island (now RWU's Baypoint Inn & Conference Center). The concert was the first-ever appearance of Chaplin as well as Fataar as official members of The Beach Boys, essentially changing the band's live and recording line-up into a multi-cultural group.

I get out, and I keep getting pulled back in...!
So I got another 25 pounds of porno today. No sooner had I recorded the very last tape and taken a day to breathe a well-earned sigh of relief when the next massive box-o-smut arrives at my door. It's occured to me that I've yet to write about most of those lovely pinku eiga; "Pink Movies" that were basically big bidget soft-porno films that Japan released in to theatres starting in the late 60's up until the latter half of the 1980's, when the cost of shooting porn on video killed any sort of market for "artistic", "classy", or... y'know. "Good" porn.
This period created plenty of bad films, sure. There's always good porn and bad porn. Mercifully the good often outweighs the bad in the world of pinku, and even a bad pinku is usually a lot more entertaining than the lame, soulless gonzo smut that we buy in to these days. This goes for Japan and America: while I prefer Japan's generally more adorable and less penis-focused shot on video crap, it's still shot on video crap, and no fetish or bevy of cute AV girls can ever change that fact.
So, in honor of Japanese porno having once again taken any of my free time, I've decided to write about a few personal favorites while I record the second of 35 smut-tastic videos awaiting my magical DVD-R touch:
TOKUGAWA III: THE ORGIES OF EDO - The last in a trilogy of unrelated films by one of pinku's finest names, ISHII Teruo, TOKUGAWA III is a collection of tales as told by a gynocolegist who performed abortions and birthings for the very poor and the very rich during the Edo period in the mid 19th century. The film starts off with a sleazy samurai who claims to take an innocent girl away from her misey forever, and in reality sells her in to prostitution. The second story is about a girl who, after being raped by a condemned freak who was badly burned, can only get off with freaks. This leads to her riding hairy dwarved like horses and requesting a negro to please her, until her husbands' inability to satisfy her drives him mad and he begins to mutliate the both of them. Finally - and this one is super special - is the story of the shogun who, after sacrificing several women for his amusement, picks a beautiful survivor to be his next concubine - much to the dismay of his current favored wife. Turns out this mystery girl is actually his long lost sister, and while the lead wife torments this interloper. This leads to women painted with poisonous gold paint, incest bondage, and a finale in which a dead concubine has her child cut from her belly with a katana blade.
Insane is the name of the game here, and we'd expect no less from the guy who directed JOY OF TORTURE and INFERNO OF TORTURE, both of which were part of the same Tokugawa trilogy (and released both only in Japanese on remastered DVD, and subtitled in English with slightly inferior prints by Japan Shock). The third film - Orgies of Edo - is often confused with another film Ishii directed, who's title is similar. Because of this confusion Japan Shock has decided to not release the film, leaving us with a rather crummy German-dubbed DVD which cuts the most violent and erotic sequences and has a new opening. It's a shame, really: this film is definately one of the highlights of Ishii's career, easily eclipsing his non-porno films like THE BLIND WOMAN'S CURSE - a likable, but all too plain affair from the man who's given us black-light tattoos and cross dressing comedians playing imprisoned women who want to be geisha. Tokugawa III, while less of a porno or a gore film that the two before it (though there's plenty of both), is a great character driven drama for a pinku movie, and packs style and beauty in every scene, particularly the sequence where the bastardly samurai is chasing his lover down through halls of silk, a scene which would later be remade in the even wilder Hong Kong classic SEX AND ZEN. Tokugawa III is worth it's weight in class - if not porn - and that's really what I'm in to after the 15 minutes or so it takes to crank one out.
OIRAN: PROSTITUTE - I'll be honest. This film sucks. It doesn't suck balls... it's not a totally unwatchable piece of dreck. But it's got some problems. Some BIG problems. Almost all of which are nullified by the final act.
It starts off with a rather refined whore doing her thing in the brothels of Edo. Lots of interpersonal mayhem, jealousy, and reportedly hard core sex acts happen. Unforutnately, none of it's very well acted or filmed. It's sort of like a really bad soap opera. With hardcore porn. It sounds like a good idea... but, it's not, rest assured. The girls can't act worth a shit, the tattoing they show off so proudly on the old lobby cards is pretty weak, and worse yet Englishmen start showing up... and, as with 95% of white guys in Japanese (or Chinese) movies, they're acting in Japan because they weren't good enough to act in Hollywood. Or on the BBC. Yeah, it's pretty sad stuff.
So why does this film rock? The lead prostitute escapes in a basket carried off by a big fat white guy who humps her and speaks in broken English. When she escapes in to the outside world, she falls in love with a young nobleman, who speaks better English. But she's haunted by the face of her lover which appears on the nasty, scabby wound that's appeared on her knee. She finally gets married, and her dead lover's soul returns...
...to bite her white husband's dick and not let go.
This leads to a fucking awesome scene of said male porno star biting a glowing dildo, and a goofy looking Southern priest who procesed to whip that pussy face with his rosary 'till it lets go of it's death cock-biting grip. It then pukes up semen all over the priest and husband, thus making this the funniest porno remake of THE EXORCIST. (I can only assume there is more than 1. I could be wrong.) Finally, she talks to her vag, giving a heart warming monologue that he's gone now, and that he needs to accept that she's in love again, and her white penis makes her happy.
Did I mention she doesnt speak a word of English, and as such every single line she says is a phonetic trainwreck?
Boring locations. Bad acting. Despite the film being a wall-to-wall porn addict's overload and the amazing final act with the growling biting vagina... it's pretty awful. I still like it though, and I'll be damned of that lame hour and a half before the good shit can kill my enthusiasm for the final reel.
MADAME DE SADE - A woman is stood up on her wedding day, with only a priest, a friend and a co-worker as witnesses to the tragedy. Running home, said bride to be actually just has her future husband chained to the bed, and shows him who's the boss - with a whip and a blindfold - before letting him go.
What she doesn't know is that her friend has started a romantic relationship with her captive, a man who had a lover he's tried desperately to keep from knowing the truth about himself and his owner. After abusing her man sufficently, she decides she's going to teach the cutte little girl who thought she could steal her properly just who's at the top of her kinky totem pole.
As a piece of erotica, this film literally does every single thing it can think of: burned balls, suffocated in female genitals, dragged on leashes, men butt-rammed with dildoes, masturbating with dessert, fucked at knife point, forced deep throating... if there isn't something in here that gets your rocks off, damn it man, discover some fetishes! But it's porno qualities aside, the direction gets a major thumbs up for the final reel; it's pretty common for porno, even elegant pinku films, to get lost after 2 partners. The grand finale` has not 3, but 4 participants, and not only is everyone doing something interesting at all times, but the camera never just drones on one thing and then cuts to another at random. It's a lot harder to make an orgy interesing than people might think. I know. I've watched a LOT of Japanese porn. This film succedes on the level of fantasy driven taboo-filled eroticism... and not much else. Still, if it managed to be a great erotic film, hell, mission accomplished.
STAR OF DAVID: Beautiful Girl Hunting - Ah, the classic SUZUKI Norifumi film that more or less sums up his career: Judea-Christian themes crossed with brutal violence, frightening sex, and a big budget. A more or less accurate adaptation of the manga of the same title (Dabide no Hoshii), Star of David stars a boy named Tatsuya, the product of his raped mother and a wandering thug who terrorizes and often kills any lovely woman he crosses paths with. His mother killed herself after years of she and her son being abused by her jealous and irrational husband, and at the age of 16 Tatsuya kills his father, thus inheriting the family fortune... he continues his life, courting the girl next door, until his 17th birthday, when he kidnaps the prostitute his "father" made his mother so miserable with, kills her, and then rapes her corpse.
Tatsuya decides - after wanking on WWII propoganda with sticky results - that much like the Nazi's at Auchewitz, he will decide who lives and who dies; in his eye he sees the Star of David on the flesh of those who are unworthy of their life. Innocent schoolgirls, famous idol singers, he kidnaps them and enslaves them without pity or worry. Things get even more interesting when, traveling through Japan, Tatsuya's biological father finds his son and decides he wants to join in on the fun...
Despite the vague ending and the addition of the girl he's genuinely romantically fascinated by, Star of David is a very accurate adaptation of the first 2 books of the infamous manga by SATOU Masaaki ,, and beats the living snot out of the low budgeted and badly produced anime series based on the same material. While it never reaches the supremely retarded heights of watching Tatsuya run his own island filled with his hand selected harem (whom he randomly kicks down a slide that feeds in to the ocean!), the film is really pretty horrifying as a psychological sudy of a man who's life leads him to believe that humans are unworthy of compassion. Tatsuya isn't really a villain in any traditional sense, he's a man who's rebelling against the goodness and morality of the world for the family that turned his back on him, and as such no matter how horribly he treats the girls he kidnaps, you can't help but feel he deserves some justice. And the scene where he screws the dead whore in his basement torture chamber - soullessly pumping in to her while drenched in her blood - s one of the most fascinating and creepy moments you'll see in crazy 70's porn.
A lot of people credit Pasolini's SALO`, or the 120 Days of Sodom as a sick and demented masterpiece of erotic horror film making. These people are retarded: it's a very faithful and classy adaptation of a novel by the Marquis de Sade, but a few strong moments and ideals aside - which are almost rendered null by the needless and shoehorned 20th century social commentary - it's neither erotic, nor horrifying. Star of David is both, and while as a morality play it's perhaps imperfect; after all, who is good in this mess?, it's a stylish and sleazy pinku violence eiga that's pretty hard to top. Truth be told, however, Suzuki topped it in his own SEIJUU GAKUEN: School of the Holy Beast, some 5 years earlier. It's also based on a Satou manga if memory serves, and I can only pray that there were a few more Suzuki/Satou films that history has simply forgotten.
And that's all I got for now. Give me a while and I'll give some words on the new MONDO CANE box set that just arrived. Man, this thing is sex in DVD form.

For years we have been told that roads are dangerous and one of the leading causes of death in the United States. A new study by Johns Hopkins just confirmed that Hospitals are more dangerous than car accidents. The study analyzed statistics regarding the causes of death and determined that "medical errors" are the THIRD leading cause of death in America.
"Patient Safety" appears to be entering the main-stream. The Washington Post article highlights how these issues are just now coming to light. For years people were told and believed that Doctors rarely make mistakes, and when they do Doctors often receive a "pass" because of all of the people they help. Hospital Administrators and Insurance Companies appear to be losing ground on the public relations front, and people are waking up.
The article mentions many of the complexities that must be resolved before we discover how large this problem truly is. One of those issues are secret "medical review boards." Here in Oregon, many hospitals have medical review boards that analyze medical mistakes. However, those review boards and there findings are secret. This makes it difficult to track the number of mistakes and learn who is making them and how often. This process in Oregon needs to be changed to allow more transparency, so patients can make informed treatment decisions.
If you have been harmed by a "medical error" or medical malpractice please call Jeremiah Ross at 503.224.1658.

Q: Dynamically add encrypted WCF message header We can add Message header to WCF message by adding MessageHeader attribute like this
 [MessageContract]
 public class HelloResponseMessage
 {
     [MessageHeader(ProtectionLevel=EncryptAndSign)]
     public string SSN
     {
         get { return extra; }
         set { this.extra = value; }
     }
 }

First question is, how secure is this, and is this working for all type of WCF bindings?
and the second question, is it possible to add encrypted header to all messages and extract in server part dynamical like this?
MessageHeader header = MessageHeader.CreateHeader("SessionKey", "ns", _key);
OperationContext.Current.OutgoingMessageHeaders.Add(header);

A: You could use the IServiceBehavior which in turn will use a DispatchMessageInspector.
For the client proxy you would create a IEndpointBehavior which would use a IClientMessageInspector
The IClientMessageInspector would instantiate a MessageHeader or a derived type and add it to each request inside the BeforeSendRequest method.
The DispatchMessageInspector would parse each request inside the AfterReceiveRequest method and extract the header from there.
One caveat of this is that I do not think that this intent or header will be documented inside the WSDL.  FOr that I think you would have to take control using a custom implemntation of the IWsdlExportExtension interface.

L.I: We are learning to be able to identify what makes an effective advert.
This week for writing, we had to watch a few advertisements. After watching them we had to go through a check list of questions about each advertisement. We had to answer questions such as what product is being sold? Who do you think would buy it? Whether the advertisement was persuasive? etc.
Who do you think the intended buyer is?
What kind of advert is it?
How do they try to persuade you to buy it?
Do you think it is a good advert?
So it's an ok advertisement!
There is a lot of persuading, and a few jokes, but a lot of things are told really fast that you can't understand what is being said.
Alex = Because for me subway doesn't taste nice.
Jack = Because the last time I had Subway, I found it quite appetising, and I like the option to create your own meal.
Because it didn't seem that there was anything incorrect about what the advertisement spoke about.
What words do they use to sell the product?

New hero -- Seraphina is coming now !
Seraphina was born in the Angel City of Lordran. Unlike other youngsters in this city who wish to become a priest or priestess when they grow up, Seraphina dreams of being a knight, to help others and to uphold justice. But Lordran was too peaceful a city that Seraphina decided to leave the city at her coming-of-age. She wandered around the vast land, helping those who call her for help. In one errand for a local folk, Seraphina ventured into the forest where the elves live and came across an altar. Let's just say it was a near death experience, and after escaping from that place, Seraphina found that her two golden wings can do far more than they used to. She was grateful for this gift, and we should be grateful that this power wasn't granted to someone evil.
Blade of Justice(Ultimate): Strike a column of enemies and absorb 20% of their Attack and Defense, lasts 3 rounds.
Blade Art: Strike a column of enemies and absorb 30% of their Attack for 2 rounds, also reduces their Rage by 500.
Sword Flurry: Attack a random enemy multiple times while giving herself a shield that lasts 2 rounds.
Defy Death(Passive): Seraphina's armored wings can protect her from certain death 1 time.
Golden Legacy(Awakened): Greatly increase own HP, Attack, and Defense.
Although Seraphina is a righteous warrior, her power is considered by the folks in Elysium as "wicked". Her blade absorbs the power of her enemies to be her own. Her ultimate skill absorbs 20% of enemies' attack and defense while her second skill absorbs up to 30% of enemies' attack and reduces their rage. The most "wicked" part of her power is that her two blessed golden wings can even defy death, protecting her from a fatal wound in battle. Her golden wings also grants her high defense, and a shield that absorbs damage from time to time. In a word, Seraphina makes a great frontline warrior by weakening her enemies and empowering herself at the same time.

The week started with an extended pre-race workout in the heat. 3 miles at 4:55, then 3 x 1k at 2:40-2:42 which I hit for the most part. Not as good at hitting the low 2:40's this year than I have in years past.
As it was pouring when I started my warm up, I opted for inside in the gym which was not as bad as it sounds because there was a nice loop behind the bleachers. The race, well, the race highlighted that I'm a half-marathoner, not a track racer. This was most apparent when the gun went off and everyone exploded off the start…and then half a second later I started moving. 200 was hit around 28-29, 400 at 60 and 800 at 2:00. Not a bad start, would have liked to gone through a second faster as there is no kick for me at this speed, it's a matter of how long can I hang on. The answer to this turned out to be 1200 as I hit it in 3:02 and finished the race in a 48. About what I was expecting with the conditions and where I was physically.
My second workout of the week was on Sunday and is my last significant workout before the Olympic Trials. 4 x 1k starting at 2:45 and working down to 2:40. I hit the times, but the effort level was a little higher than I would have hoped. Might have waited just a little bit too long after having breakfast to run. Also of note, it's difficult finding the right amount of food to eat these days as I'm running 50 miles/week less than my peak and my workout volumes are so low.

Q&A: Alethea Ganaway, 3D Digital Design & Manufacturing Technology Program, Cuyahoga Community College
CONTRIBUTED PHOTO
Tri C's Alethea Ganaway works with a student.
With degrees in history, urban planning and architecture and a deep background in mathematics, it might seem unusual — at least on paper — that Alethea Ganaway has a passion for spreading the gospel of additive manufacturing, or as it's more commonly known, 3D printing. In fact, because of her background in architecture, she has a deep understanding of the engineering principles involved with 3D printing.
Ganaway oversees Cuyahoga Community College's 3D printing/additive manufacturing program in the college's Manufacturing Center of Excellence. Crain's recently chatted with Ganaway about the rise of additive manufacturing and about Tri C's new Ideation Station — a new 2,400-square-foot fabrication laboratory coming online at its Metropolitan Campus that is open to students, faculty and the community.
What's your sales pitch to prospective students?
Additive manufacturing is the industry of the future. Manufacturing is changing – what we do and how we do it. When I go out and talk to people, I tell them that employers need people who understand design and development and how to use a 3D printer. And it doesn't just have to be in manufacturing. You can be an artist, a person who works in the medical or dental fields. That's why people need to care about this.
What's a misunderstood component of additive manufacturing?
That there's actually engineering principles involved with the software and the materials you can use. It's more involved than what we see on TV. We don't often hear about the engineering part of the definition of 'additive.' It's called 'additive' because you add layers of material on top of each other.
What is your favorite part of this field?
The flexibility of being able to print just about anything. It's new, it's growing. It's exciting. There are so many advancements being made. Anyone can come from our program. Art majors who want to learn to use additive manufacturing to express their art through different mediums. We also teach realistic applications. In the capstone course, students are designing prosthetics for veterans. These are real-world applications — not just theory.
What an interesting project you worked on with a 3D printer?
Tri-C's Ideation Station
Well, I'm involved with the ACE Mentoring program, which works with students inspiring them to pursue careers in design and architecture. We were working with students from the Cleveland Metropolitan School District to create a gate for the cultural gardens. We helped the class print symbols for the gate with a 3D printer. That was a real world application.
What was the thinking behind Tri-C's new fab lab?
The closest thing we have to the fab lab would be Case Western Reserve University's [think]box and Cleveland Public Library has a few 3D printers. This is a digital fabrication laboratory designed to promote innovation, creativity and collaboration. It's a maker space where community members, faculty and students can design, prototype and brainstorm. We want everyone to be a to produce a physical, 3D-printed object. They can also laser engrave objects, create a piece of furniture or manufacture a product.
What do you hope to inspire with this space?
We want to be a springboard for entrepreneurship in the community. Any community organization — like the Boys and Girls Club or the Girl Scouts — that has a want or need to use a fab lab can use this space. We also want to integrate it with other programs throughout the college — not just the manufacturing program, but also arts or even theater. Maybe they can print a set design. We believe that having these tools available to our students will help them and inspire them to be more creative and innovative. That's what employers are looking for. We want to make sure our students as prepared as students at other schools.

Q: How to deal with floats in Google OR Tools? I would like to use Google OR tools to solve a vehicle routing problem with time windows (https://developers.google.cn/optimization/routing/vrptw?hl=lt#program).
My time matrix contains floats and it provides information about distance in hours between two points.
See example of a time_matrix:

Time windows are also in hours, see example:
[[7, 24], [8, 18], [8, 18], [8, 18], [8, 18], [8, 18], [8, 18], [8, 18], [13, 18], [8, 14]]

The problem is that the output is a nonsense:
Route for vehicle 0:
0 Time(7,7) -> 0 Time(7,7)
Time of the route: 7min

The vehicle 0 stayed at home so the time should be 0. Other time of the route seems to be also wrong. Do you have any idea why? Is the problem because I use floats instead of integers in the time_matrix? If yes, how can I modify time windows in hours to minutes (integers), please? Thanks a lot.

A: Comment:

The problem is that 0 Time(7,7) -> 0 Time(7,7), OR tools always adds 7 to the result.

Parents of suspect in Michigan school shooting captured, plead not guilty
The parents of a 15-year-old accused of killing four students and wounding seven other people at a Michigan high school were held Saturday on bonds of $500,000 each hours after being taken into custody.
The latest: James and Jennifer Crumbley pleaded not guilty Saturday morning to four counts of involuntary manslaughter.

The Crumbleys were found and captured in the basement of a commercial building in Detroit, Police Chief James White confirmed early Saturday morning, where they were likely "aided in getting into the building," AP writes.
"They didn't break in. Somebody let them in," White said, per Fox 2 Detroit. "We don't know the relationship yet. That's active. That person could face charges."
Oxford Community Schools Superintendent Tim Throne released a written statement on Sunday about the school's response to Ethan Crumbley's behavior after he was returned to the classroom Friday before the shooting began.
In a meeting with guidance counselors on Tuesday, Crumbley was described as calm and worked on homework while staff tried to reach his parents and they traveled to the school.
The parents did not notify counselors that they had purchased a gun for their son recently during that meeting and that shooting sports was a hobby, Throne said.
"Given the fact that the child had no prior disciplinary infractions, the decision was made he would be returned to the classroom rather than sent home to an empty house," Throne said in the written statement.
Driving the news: A Detroit business owner saw a car connected to the Crumbleys in a parking lot late Friday, Oakland County Undersheriff Michael McCabe said in a statement, per AP.
A woman near the vehicle ran away when the business owner called 911. Detroit police subsequently found and arrested the couple, per AP.
Catch up quick: Lawyers for the Crumbleys on Friday announced that the parents were "returning to the area to be arraigned," after law enforcement officials announced that a search for the parents had been initiated.
Oakland County prosecutor Karen McDonald said during a press conference Friday that the charges against the parents stem from their alleged purchase of a handgun for their son.
Crumbley faces two dozen charges, including murder and terrorism, for the shooting at Oxford High School. He will be charged as an adult.
What to watch: The Crumbleys are due back in court on Dec. 14.

«Ле́хія Гданськ» () — професіональний польський футбольний клуб з міста Гданськ.

Історія
Колишні назви:
 1945: Балтія Гданськ ()
 1946: КС Лехія Гданськ ()
 1950: Будовляні Гданськ ()
 1955: БКС Лехія Гданськ ()
 1992: ФК Лехія Гданськ СА ()
 1995: Лехія/Олімпія Гданськ ()
 1996: КС Лехія Гданськ ()
 1998: Лехія/Полонія Гданськ ()
 2001: ОСП Лехія Гданськ ()
 28.01.2009: Лехія Гданськ СА ()

Після Другої світової війни у 1945 році працівниками Бюра відбудови портів був організований клуб, який отримав назву «"Балтія" Гданськ». Наступного року змінив назву на «Лехія Гданськ» (назву та кольори команди взято на честь «Лехії» Львів). 1948 року рішенням польських влад багато клубів розформовано і організовано галузеві клуби на зразок радянських команд. «Лехія» була приписана до будівельної промисловості і 1950 року перейменована на «Будовляні Гданськ».

У сезоні 1949 клуб дебютував у І лізі, але не втримався у ній. 1951 року знову стартував у І лізі, але 1953 року на сезон вибув з неї. У 1955 році повернено історичну назву «Лехія Гданськ», а у наступному році команда здобула бронзові медалі. У 1963 році клуб третій раз вилетів з І ліги. У 1983 році команда здобула Кубок і Суперкубок Польщі, а також дебютувала в європейських турнірах. У 1984-1989 роках клуб знову виступав у І лізі. У 1995 році відбулося об'єднання з клубом «Олімпія Познань», який виступав у І лізі. Новоутворений клуб з назвою «Лехія/Олімпія Гданськ» стартував у І лізі, але не втримався у ній. У 1998 році відбулося ще одне об'єднання, цього разу з друголіговим клубом «Полонія Гданськ». Однак новостворений клуб «Лехія/Полонія Гданськ» не зміг пробитися до І ліги. У 2001 році клуби розійшлися і клуб повернув назву «Лехія Гданськ». У 2008 році клуб повернувся до Екстракласи.

Two fashion ensembles are modelled, one designed by Reville.
"A really distinctive ensemble designed by "Reville" for early autumn. The material is Burnbrae Scotch tweed, and the collar Persian lamb. (The long tunic shirt is in heavy crepe-de-Chine)."
M/S of a woman in a drawing room setting modelling the Reville outfit. Closer view of the woman to show details of the feather trimmed hat and fur trimmed coat. She passes her handbag to someone off-screen. She then undoes the collar of the coat. She then undoes the belt of the coat to show the dress underneath. She turns for the camera.
"The next coat and skirt model is a real novelty - chalk white west of England facecloth, ingeniously trimmed with strips of moleskin. (Hat and muff follow the same style.)" A model walks into the room wearing the unusual outfit. She walks towards the camera, lays down the muff and turns to show the back of her coat. She walks away from the camera and out of the room. (Looks like this was shot in the Pathe studio).

How to play cricket when you're dead: tales of players in the The Great War
The First World War changed the world forever. Countries' borders were re-drawn; communities were decimated and families lost whole generations. Cricket was not immune to the changes. The game itself was heavily influenced and many players were injured or lost their lives. In his first piece for Deep Extra Cover, Michael Chapman looks at the game during the war period and shares the stories of a few of those who died, including one who didn't let his death get in the way of his playing career.
By DEC Staff -
Given the high level of conscription that followed the onset of the First World War, as well as poor levels of attendance at matches and lack of players, it is probably unsurprising that the County Championships of 1915 came to a halt and did not begin again until May 1919. As the war raged on, a lot of clubs closed down and the sport generally went into decline.
Although the Championship was in hiatus, grassroots cricket came to the fore. Charity and school matches grew in importance as morale boosters and were relatively well attended, largely because of the added attraction of watching former County and Test players. In response to the rise in popularity of school cricket, Wisden began to honour younger cricketers. In 1918 it published The Schools Bowlers of the Year and Five Public School Cricketers of the Year in 1919.
It wasn't just the matches that were affected by the conflict. The pavilions of cricket grounds around the country, including Lord's and Trent Bridge, were used by the Red Cross to treat thousands of patients.
Conversely, cricket also had its effect on the war. The Mills Bomb was a type of hand grenade first used in 1915 and British soldiers were often trained to throw them using a similar action to that of a bowler.
In the First World War, 104 Cricketers representing English County Championship teams were killed. 127 First Class Cricketers representing Universities and Minor Counties as well as those playing in India, Australia and South Africa lost their lives during this conflict.
Here are just some of their stories:
Percy Jeeves was killed in action in July 1916. He was a right-handed medium pacer, who played for Warwickshire, taking 196 wickets across the two seasons before the outbreak of war. His name may have disappeared into the mists of time had he not been spotted while bowling for his county by P.G. Wodehouse, giving the author the name of the famous valet.
Colin Blythe was seen as one of the best bowlers in the pre-war era of English Cricket. He was a spinner and proficient batter for Kent, known for batting with his right hand and bowling with his left. He was named a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1904, and made 4443 runs and took 2503 wickets across 439 first class matches. Blythe was killed in Passchendaele on 8 November 1917.
Kenneth Lotherington Hutchings was regarded as one of English Cricket's most graceful batsmen. Having represented Kent for ten years in 207 matches, scoring over 10,000 runs and making the list of Wisden's Cricketer of the Year in 1907, he was killed in Ginchy, France, on September 3rd 1916.
Arthur Edward Jeune "A.E.J." Collins recorded the highest ever score for an individual batter. At the grand old age of 13, while playing for Clarke's House against North Town House, he hit 628*. With the ball, he took 11 wickets for 63, cementing his position as a talented all-rounder. Along with roughly 210,000 others, Collins was killed in the first Battle of Ypres on November 11th 1914.
Frederick Key was not a first class cricketer, playing for Litchfield. He worked at the Dunlop factory in Birmingham and was a Sunday School teacher on the weekends. As such, there is little information available on his playing career, but the words he wrote to his parents on the first day of the Battle of the Somme, July 1st 1916, have remained with us and reflect his love of the game. He wrote:
If you receive this, you will know that I have unfortunately been bowled out middle peg. But you may be sure that I batted well.
He was killed in battle the next day. He was aged 27.
And then there was Harry Lee.
Lee represented Middlesex between 1911–1934. After being shot at Neuve Chapelle during the Battle of Aubers Ridge in 1915, he was given up for dead and a memorial was held in his honour. In fact, having laid between the lines for three days, he had been taken into German custody and survived the war.
He nearly died again in 1917, when preparing to sail to India to take up a coaching role. He was booked to sail on the SS Nyanza but was switched to the Nagoya at the last minute for unknown reasons. The Nyanza was torpedoed off the coast of Plymouth.
Back in his homeland from 1919, and with one leg shorter than the other and quite withered, he continued to play cricket. He played 437 first class matches, scored over 20,000 runs and took 401 wickets. He played one test match for England, against South Africa in 1931, and after retirement umpired153 games.
After cheating death twice in his life, Lee's innings finally came to an end on April 21st 1981. At 90, he was the second oldest surviving English cricketer. His brother Jack, an all-rounder who played for Somerset, was destined to die in the Normandy in 1944.

Nothing Stays the Same - What Are You Doing About It?
When was the last time you thought about how cool it is that we are using technology which didn't exist a few years ago? The world is changing at warp speed and not just because of COVID. Although there's no denying that COVID has accelerated many changes and has certainly been the catalyst of new conversations.
I attended RMAi in Las Vegas a few weeks ago, and the fact that I was there in person is an exciting sign of the times. It energized my soul seeing friendly, albeit partially concealed, faces. It's energizing not only because in-person events are making a slow and steady comeback, but because we are having some new, overdue dialogues at these gatherings.
I also had the privilege of presenting on COVID and the changing workforce. While Vertican is no stranger to riding the wave of change in the workplace, many business leaders I've spoken to have been challenged by this sharp trajectory we've been on. Again, not necessarily brought on by the pandemic, but nonetheless hastened by it.
For years now, I've been talking about (and putting into practice) diversity and inclusion at work because, as a business owner, I'm not only compelled to do so, but I would be doing my team, my clients, and the industry at large a disservice if I didn't.
Within the next 10 years, millennials, almost equally split between men and women, will make up 75 percent of the workforce. That's not a warning and it's not a value judgement, it's a simple fact. How you affiliate yourself politically, religiously, socially, or culturally, has no bearing on the fact that now more than ever your business can genuinely thrive, not in spite of diversity and inclusion in the workplace but because of it!
Gen Zers are now at the beginnings of their careers too. Before you know it, you'll be employing that middle schooler down the block who just yesterday knocked on your door to trick-or-treat. These kids are growing up in a world of immediate gratification; we're partaking in it too. We demand answers to life's burning questions as fast as our thumbs can type. We expect to stream entertainment at our fingertips and have delivery to our doorsteps often in less than 24 hours.
So, whether you grew up a fan of Buck Rogers or even the Jetsons, still that middle schooler will have grown up in a world you could never have imagined when you were their age. Your future employee or colleague is probably already better at Zoom at the ripe old age of 12 than you are today. But most importantly, that future idea-producing, society-contributing adult is also growing up in a world where they see themselves differently and more deeply than we ever did.
Back to today's changing workforce, take millennials, for instance. They have different priorities and values than previous generations when it comes to employment. Those very differences must be factored in to how you choose to scale your business.
Don't get me wrong, this is not about trying to accommodate or please everyone. My point is that the workforce is evolving and growing significantly different than any other time in history. There will be more young people on the payroll, and at the same time the older generation will be delaying retirement. There will also be more women, more people of color, and more people of differentiating identities in the workforce than ever before. Your success will ultimately depend on your employees' success (and how relevant and valued they feel).
So as a business owner, as a team leader, as a fellow human, it is with that truth, not opinion, you must point to talent acquisition and talent retention as the two most important things for sustaining and scaling any business. Simply put, it costs a hell of a lot of more money to search and onboard a new person than to retain a current employee.
Now ask yourself this question: Do I plan on being in business in the next five, 10, 20 years? If so, what is your strategy going forward? If your strategy going forward doesn't address the reality of the changing workforce, you should rethink it.
So, while business owners continually evaluate revenue streams, economic tides, industry trends, and technological growth, it also stands to reason that diversity and inclusion are two essential components you need to bake into your central focus.
At Vertican, we've been supporting remote work for years. We've had VDIs for years. We've been using Teams, Zoom, and Go-To-Meeting for years. We're actively listening to our fellow team members who come to the table with ideas, and we support causes they personally care about. We're using our PETRA philosophies to do some intense strategic planning. In fact, we have a Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) that looks all the way out to 2035. So, my leadership team and I are especially focused on these things. And we will continue to build policies and procedures that will make sense even as the workforce continues to change.
Another thing that we have been working towards, now more than ever, is simplifying processes. I'm uber focused on transparency and clarity around policies, procedures, and business goals. Sure, we are still learning as we go, but I'm super proud that we already had our best foot forward coming into this past year of upheaval.
My final words to put out to the business universe are to protect your employees' emotional energy with comprehensible policies. Don't nickel and dime every paperclip. You'll get all that back from your team in spades. Do focus on improving people's lives and creating an environment (virtual or otherwise) to set everyone up for success. Create learning opportunities, invest in your technology, and support a healthy work culture in whatever ways work for you.
So now here we all are together on the wave of more change. What's the post-COVID (or living in a COVID) world going to look like? We've got some big decisions on the horizon. 2020 and 2021 have been, in part, a springboard for us here at Vertican. Systematic changes, or as I call them opportunities, are unfolding every day and I for one couldn't be happier about it.
This month we interviewed Joe Woodward, Manager, Client Success, and Katherine Byrum, Business Systems Analyst, to tell us what makes the phone ring! We wanted to know our Collection-Master, Q-Law, and Q-LawE clients' biggest pain points for troubleshooting and how to combat many of them in a few simple steps.
One common error for our Collection-Master clients is, Why are we getting these messages about dup files when opening the software? How can I get rid of them?
Joe comments, "Our clients usually think this is an overly complicated error that requires Client Success to step in, when in all reality, the process for resolution has been documented in our manual for a while now!"
Here's the thing, these messages pop-up when the system is looking for a record but can't find it (Damaged Index), it then creates a new entry in the table. This significantly helps with reducing these errors from happening, but it can still occur when Collection-Master is forced-closed through Task Manger or if the server crashes.
The most common cases clients encounter are Debtor.dup and Internal.dup. Here are a few steps to follow for resolution:
Description (Debtor.dup)
When Collection-Master is first turned on, if any duplicate records exist in the Debtor.dup file, a list of the duplicate files appears with the message that Debtor.dup has duplicate records.
Removal Procedure
Locate the Main Menu, type 0.
NOTE: Other users are NOT required to exit Collection-Master during this procedure.
At the prompt type: "Run dupdebt/fixprog" and press [Enter].
Type: "end" and press [Enter].
Type: "proc run" and press [Enter].
NOTE: At this point, Debtor.dup File Numbers no longer exist on the system.
Description (Internal.dup)
When Collection-Master is first turned on, if any duplicate records exist in the Internal.dup file, a list of the duplicate files appears with the message that Internal.dup has duplicate records.
At the prompt type: "Run dupinter/fixprog" and press [Enter].
NOTE: At this point, Internal.dup File Numbers no longer exist on the system.
Q-Law and Q-LawE
According to Katherine, for Q-Law and Q-LawE to work properly it needs to maintain a connection between its data tables and storage uninterrupted. However, disconnections can happen for many different reasons, unfortunately computers and the internet are not infallible.
Loss of connection from the data storage and tables, even for a split second, can result in multiple errors. Virus scans, loss of internet, and brief loss of connection with Network drives are all reasons for disconnection. Katherine suggests, "When these disconnections happen, DON'T PANIC. It's natural to want to pick up the phone and speak to a human. But you'd be surprised, the solution to combat these issues is very simple."
Usually just shutting down the QL/QLE application and restarting it will restore the connection and allow you to continue work uninterrupted. If you notice that a particular workstation or machine is receiving these types of errors, it may be time to investigate the network card to make sure it is not failing.
Sarah/Doug Error and Microsoft SQL Server Login Error are most commonly reported by clients. Here's a breakdown of how to handle them from the SME.
Sarah/Doug Error
The error names the programmer at our office that compiled the executable. This error always means that connection to the server was lost. The "Sarah" or "Doug" error is QL/QLE's attempt to check back in with the program residing on the server. When it cannot find the program, it goes back to the path that was used when the program was first compiled. To resolve, close QL/QLE completely and log back in. Alternatively, sometimes a reboot of the workstation is also helpful if it is widespread, so a server reboot may be needed.
Microsoft SQL Server Login Error
When attempting to log into Q-LawE, you may receive this error:
This will indicate that the machine attempting to log into Q-LawE does not have access to the SQL Server Manager. This error is only resolvable through consultation with the user's IT department. Once your connection has been restored by IT, a simple reboot will have your software up and running!
Vertican exists to improve people's lives. Our Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) provided these lessons based off real client experiences. The solutions to our most common troubleshooting inquiries are closer than you think. For Collection-Master, the Help Manual provides detailed steps on how to combat many different errors, including duplication errors. For QL/QLE, many resolutions to errors such as the Sarah/Doug Error require a simple restart! While other errors can be resolved through your very own IT department. QL/QLE also contain Reset buttons to give users a fresh slate when errors have taken over their screen.
There are many self-help tools in Collection-Master and QL/QLE that can make work life so much easier and save you a phone call to Client Success. If you have questions on these tips or would like to suggest a topic to be discussed by an SME, click here.

Welcome to the section of the Newsletter where we share an inside look at some of Vertican's amazing team members. This issue of vConnect focuses the spotlight on Barbara Sheridan and Susan Greene.
Barbara's key role with Vertican Technologies is as a Client Success Representative. But she leads a very full life outside of Vertican, find out all about her.
I worked for an advertising agency in Manhattan. I was on the account services team and traveled to Bermuda for our hotel account and to Tequila, Mexico for our liquor account. I took a long break from the workforce to raise our three children but when the youngest turned twelve years old, I picked up a job as a Member Services Representative at my local YMCA where I remained for six years.
Once logged in, I check emails and voicemails for any new issues and take appropriate action. I review open incidents, research solutions, and communicate to our clients through email, phone and remote connect sessions. I am never alone. The team is always available, and I reach out often throughout the day to get advice. In addition, we have a project meeting in the morning and another short team meeting in the afternoon. If it is a Zoom meeting, our Team Lead, Joe Woodward, keeps things fun with creative virtual filters and backgrounds.
The people! Our team is helpful, encouraging, friendly, knowledgeable, and funny. I also enjoy talking to our clients and product users and getting a feeling for their work, backgrounds, and perspective. My husband and I have been working from home this past year and he often asks me why was I laughing so much? I think he is a little bit jealous of the team.
Tap dancing. I saw Gregory Hines perform live when I was in high school and I'll never forget it.
I did a lot of babysitting starting around the age of twelve. My youngest brother was born when I was ten, so I had a lot of practical experience.
I study ballet. I peaked in my high school years performing locally but as an adult I continue to take class once or twice a week.
I like to get outside for a walk or bike ride. I always have a book to read. My husband and I attend group outings involving geology and fossil hunting. Plus, we like to tour historical homes.
Last week, my family and I enjoyed a mini vacation in the Brandywine Valley region of Pennsylvania. We built the trip around our son's college graduation ceremony (held one year late due to COVID-19). The area is rich in colonial American history and scenic with beautiful farmland. My picture was taken in Longwood Gardens where we enjoyed 1,000 acres of gardens, fountains, and meadows. Visit some time if you can.
Do you have a favorite movie, artist music and/or book?
Movie: Planes, Trains and Automobiles starring Steve Martin and John Candy.
Music: Every day I listen to two public radio stations. Both stream on the internet. WFUV is mostly alternative rock, but on Sunday it's all Irish folk music. The instrumentals are my favorite. I also listen to WBGO Jazz pretty much every night. That being said, 1970's and 1980's rock is embedded in my heart, mind, and soul.
Book: Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky
Please share a favorite quote:
"Whoever guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from troubles." – Proverbs
Susan's key role with Vertican Technologies is as a Quality Assurance Analyst (QA). But there is more to Susan than just being a Vertican employee.
What sort of work did you do before joining Vertican? I was Office Manager at a law firm for many years. They used Q-Law for their legal collection work, which is how I got to know the people I'm working with now.
What is a typical day at Vertican like for you? It always begins with a cup of coffee, lol. I login, review my email and Jira (project management software). Testing and documenting various tickets and processes is a large part of my day.
What do you like most about working for Vertican? My favorite thing about Vertican is my coworkers! We are a such an eclectic group; everyone brings something different to the table. The people I work with are smart, funny, caring, and always willing and available to assist.
If you could learn anything new, what would it be? I would like to learn Spanish.
What was your very first job and how old were you? I was 14 when I started working at a fast-food restaurant, H Salt Fish & Chips.
Word on the street is you're an animal lover? Tell us about it and how that began. Yes, I am an animal lover. I have three cats, one dog (all of whom adopted me). I also have birds, squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits, possums, racoons, deer, foxes, coyotes, and snakes in and around my yard. Three times a week, I feed a colony of feral cats at a local park. I assist with trapping them to spay, neuter, and vaccinate before releasing them back into their territory.
What (else) do you like to do outside of work? I enjoy hiking, spending time with my family and friends, trying new things, gardening, family game night, playing billiards, and traveling.
Share something exciting you did in the last 12 months. Well not very much going on for the past 12 months, but I'm really looking forward to traveling again!
Movie: Love Actually. It makes me happy.
TV: The Queen's Gambit
Music: I love, love, love music. Alternative rock is my favorite, but I enjoy rock, punk, indie, heavy metal, classical, country, and grunge.
Book: The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Please share a favorite quote. "There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are the messengers of overwhelming grief, of deep contrition, and of unspeakable love." – Washington Irving
Conditional Themes Editor
This program allows your firm to apply themes and/or display messages based on the contents of specified fields within claims. This feature relies on user-defined parameters to determine a claim's "condition". Adding, editing, and deleting Conditional Themes can be done from path [4-1-S-2-7]. These themes can be setup to appear on everyone's screen or only for specific groups.
A Conditional Theme will override your default theme if the specified condition for the claim you are reviewing has been met.
The Conditional Themes Editor displays existing Conditional Themes in order of importance/priority:
Selecting to add or modify a Conditional Theme will navigate you to the Conditional Theme Details screen. You can browse all available themes in the [1-S-1] Theme Editor. Here, you can edit the theme to your liking using the parameters provided. In this example, the conditional theme being setup will be for claims that have a debtor with an Adversary Attorney:
The table being used is 'Master' and the field would be 'ADVA' as displayed in the example.
NOTE: For further information about the contents of "Table" and "Field", see Conditional Themes – Applicable "Special Calculate" Fields in the Collection-Master Help Manual.
When opening claims that meet the requirements of a conditional theme, a popup like the one above will appear. You will then notice the theme of the claim itself has changed to match the condition:
Because an Adversary Attorney has been added to the claim, you can see the theme for this claim has now changed per the condition set.
Further things to note for Conditional Themes:
The text in a single message cannot exceed 999 characters.
High/Low Range – To identify the entire alpha/numeric range, use a zero as the low value and lower case zzz as the high value. The zzz must be lower case.
More detailed information on this topic can be found in the Collection-Master Help Manual.
Quick Buttons in Grid View
Many of the grid views in Q-Law have quick buttons that can prove helpful. Below we'll look at the Top and Bot buttons as well as the # and $ buttons.
Top and Bot Buttons
When in a grid view if you click the Top button the view will take you to the top of the list. If you click the Bot button, the view will take you to the end of the list.
$ Button
If you want to sum a column in the grid, select a numeric field from the Field dropdown, then click the $ button. The sum will then appear in a box in the upper right corner.
# Button
If you want to see how many items are in the list in the grid, click the # button. The number of items in the list will then appear in a box in the upper right corner.
Creating a vMedia SQL Database with a Targeted SQL View
Enter the DB Config
Select New Database
Fill in all required and applicable data. Check Use Externally Managed View instead of a Table checkbox. Checking this box will specify that the target SQL object will be a View rather than a table. Checking this option bypasses the table creation on SQL, but still completes other tasks such as DSN file creation and local CF and container SC DBF creation.

Truck Drivers Strike Over Unacceptable Wages in Iran
Truck drivers in dozens of Iranian provinces have reportedly gone on strike in the country over low wages and analysts are speculating this could usher in a wave of new protests throughout certain parts of the Islamic Republic.
The strikes arrive weeks after President Donald Trump announced the United States's withdrawal from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), or Iran nuclear deal.The Associated Press reported that "The semi-official ILNA news agency reported on Wednesday that the strike is taking place in Qazvin, Lorestan, East Azerbaijan and Mazandaran province."
The truck drivers began striking on Tuesday and complained that their expenses have increased since last year. According to the Voice of America's Iran news service, the increase in expenses include the costs for tires, air filters, insurance, road tolls, commissions, repairs and spare parts.

The strikes reportedly took place in 93 cities in 25 provinces, including the provinces of West Azarbaijan, East Azarbaijan, Kermanshah, Kurdistan, Isfahan, Ilam, Khorasan Razavi, North Khorasan, South Khorasan, Chahar Mahal and Bakhtiari, Khuzestan, Zanjan, Sistan and Balouchestan, Semnan, Fars, Qazvin, Kerman, Gilan, Mazandaran, Markazi, Hormozgan, Hamedan, Yazd and Bushehr.
The strikes have reportedly caused fuel shortage in some parts of Iran because the trucks are instrumental in delivering gas to fueling stations.
Iranian truck drivers are on strike across the country. There are reports confirmed by Iranian officials that the widespread strike has caused fuel shortage in some parts of the country.

— Saeed Ghasseminejad (@SGhasseminejad) May 23, 2018
According to the VOA, "It was not clear how long the strike would continue. There was no immediate response to the truckers' demands from Iranian authorities on state media."
Nationwide protest took place on December 28 over rising costs, financial mismanagement, and the Iranian regime's decision to use billions of dollars to finance terrorism and involvement in foreign countries like Syria and Libya, instead of taking care of its ailing people at home.
The December protests, which have carried on in varying stages, were the largest since the so-called "Green Revolution" of 2009 over the fraudulent re-election of former President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad who won in a "landslide."

Nigerian singer and winner of the Idols West Africa competition in 2007, Timi Dakolo has something important to say about marriage.
The father of three has been married to his wife, Busola Dakolo for 6 years.
The singer took to his Instagram on Wednesday July 25, 2018 to write and express his thoughts to whoever cares to know that they should not be deceived by people who say money is not important in marriage.
"Money is very important in marriage. Don't let anyone lie to you. It might not be the most important reason why one should marry but it is a very important part nonetheless".

The IRT Second Avenue Line, also known as the Second Avenue Elevated or Second Avenue El, was an elevated railway in Manhattan, New York City, United States, from 1878 to 1942. It was operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit Company until 1940, when the city took over the IRT. Service north of the 57th Street station ended on June 11, 1940; the rest of the line closed on June 13, 1942.

History
In 1875, the Rapid Transit Commission granted the Gilbert Elevated Railway Company the right to construct the railway from Battery Park to the Harlem River along Second Avenue.

The commission also granted the Gilbert Elevated Railway Company the right to operate the Sixth Avenue Elevated and soon afterward the Gilbert Elevated Railway changed its name to the Metropolitan Elevated Railway.

Around 1900, the line was electrified. Between 1914 and 1916 construction was undertaken to install a third track to provide express service on the line during peak hours. Express service commenced on January 17, 1916. On July 23, 1917, Second Avenue El service over the Queensborough Bridge to Queens began.

The Second Avenue El did not run entirely on Second Avenue. Its southern terminus was above Park Row adjacent to City Hall. From there it ran above Park Row to Chatham Square, where it had a junction with the Third Avenue El, then continued east above Division Street. It turned north above Allen Street to Houston Street, where it continued north above First Avenue, then turned left on 23rd Street, then ran north on Second Avenue to 129th Street. At that point it rejoined with the Third Avenue El and crossed the Harlem River into the Bronx.

As of 1934 Second Avenue service operated as follows:

 Second Avenue Local - day and evenings 129th Street to South Ferry, alternate evening and Sunday trains 129th Street to City Hall. No all-night service was operated.
 Second Avenue Express - Bronx Park to City Hall weekday and Saturday AM peak southbound, City Hall to Fordham Road or Tremont Avenue weekday PM peak northbound, also Freeman Street to City Hall via West Farms Road Line, making express stops in Manhattan.
 Second Avenue-Queens - South Ferry to Willets Point Blvd weekday and Saturday AM peak, City Hall to Willets Point Blvd weekday midday and PM peak, 57th Street to Willets Point Blvd evenings and Sundays. In addition City Hall to Astoria Weekday AM peak and midday and Saturday daytime, South Ferry to Astoria weekday PM peak, 57th Street to Astoria evenings and Sundays. Midday and Saturday trains used the express tracks, weekday peak trains made all stops.

On April 23, 1939 express service was inaugurated weekday and Saturday daytime in Queens between Queensboro Plaza and 111th Street, where elevated trains were cut back to. On September 8, 1939 Astoria trains were rerouted in the weekday PM peak to City Hall. The Second Avenue Elevated was closed north of 59th Street June 12, 1940. Evening and Sunday Queens trains were extended to City Hall or South Ferry. On May 19, 1941 evening and Sunday service was discontinued. Finally, on June 13, 1942 all service was discontinued.

The M15 bus, which runs along much of the IRT Second Avenue Elevated Line's route, is one of the busiest bus routes in New York City. However, it does not carry as many passengers as a rapid transit line, and transfers to rapid transit stations can only be made using surface connections.

The Second Avenue Subway, a rapid transit route running under Second Avenue, has been under consideration since 1919. The demolition of the IRT Second Avenue Line was in anticipation of the subway's construction. The first phase, between 72nd Street and 96th Street, opened in 2017, and a second phase to Harlem–125th Street is being planned.
