will remain credible vis-a-vis the dprk, just as it has been vis-a-vis russia and china. i believe that the u.s. extended deterrent to its allies in northeast asia, seoul, tokyo, will remain credible just as our extended deterrent in nato has remained credible vis-a-vis russia and before that, the soviet union. but here comes the interesting part. but what will change is the dprk's vulnerability. ladies and gentlemen, even those of us who are opposed to preventive war would support, indeed insist on a preemptive strike, a preemptive strike, if we judged a north korean strike against the rok, japan, or the united states as being imminent. do you see what i'm saying here? preventive war? no. preemptive strike, yes. and what the north koreans will achieve is that they will create a vulnerability that they do not now have when they get that capability. so i'm arguing here that the dprk's security may be fatally compromised rather than enhanced by this capability that they are so dedicated to achieving. the third question, does the dprk think that its current nuclear weapons capability, the

, in asia, china has been acting as a regional hegemon really and the united states has tried to coalesce allies around china to counterbalance in the pacific. but america's withdrawal or america's focus on itself, would that just open up things for china, and must other asian nations hedge against what america may or may not do? >> yeah, i think the challenge for the president-elect trump is that, is he going to continue obama's rebalancing towards asia? and getting the u.s. military forces, particularly navy, into the south china sea and strike alliances with the surrounding countries like philippines, japan, south korea? or is he going to, you know, start the trade war with china? and engage in china in a more negative way rather than positive way. i think that's the challee. and the -- if he is interested in the business relations with china, then he might also would have to think whether he's going to continue this rebalancing policy towards asia. already that some of the obama initiative has been backfiring, for example. the philippine president, duterte, has openly attacke

containing russia and isolating russia. and that's great, if you could do it. but china won't let you isolate russia, india won't let you isolate russia -- >> it's not about isolationism. >> it's not about containment. the problem that we have is we have this focus on europe and what you're going to do in order to prevent russia from doing things we don't like in europe. they are going to drive russia. china is taking advantage of a weakened russia at this point. a russia that doesn't have an option in europe. and china is a strategic competitor if we're looking at our interests over the next 10, 15, 20 years. east asia is extremely important. now all i'm arguing is that you need to take what you're proposing in europe and think about what the consequences are in east asia and you've got to mitigate those in some way. and we continue to take this policy and isolation, and we create perhaps a better deal in europe while we create a larger problem for ourselves throughout asia. that is not good strategy. >> thank you, and i think we got your point. in the front row, your question. >> hi

, it was mentioned this morning about discussions between the u.s. and china, for example, on aspects of security in space. these are very positive. and i think that there is a willing -- i hope there is a willingness to continue those across the major powers in order to ensure that we have understanding. and, again, going back to the phrase that i used at the beginning of my intervention transparency and confidence building which is the key to where we need to be. thank you. >> thank you, david. well, david has just said much of what i would have said. so i guess i will be very brief. audrey, i think you and all the others in this room today who have worked so hard in the development of these guidelines, and i'd like to knowledge -- too many to mention by name. but it's been a fantastic privilege to work with such professional colleagues in the past few years in developing these guidelines and continuing our discussions. what i've perceived as chair of the working group is a willingness by the member states -- first in appreciation by the member states that we really cannot fail in t

u.s. but i would the general to talk about the role of china in this. russia and china have had their differences and tensions and alliances. how does that play against the role of the competition and the possible cooperation between russia and the u.s.? the role of china, which, too, is a major player and considers itself pivotal for world peace and world instability, too. >> thank you. >> and one more question. the lady in the yellow jacket. >> thank you. reporter with congressional quarterly. general, i wanted to go back to what you said about intellectual honesty as i pose this plan related to u.s. plans for missile defense in europe. the -- it was previously stated that this was to protect europe from an iranian nuclear missile. as that potentiality seems increasingly unlikely and as tensions with russia continue to escalate, there are some murm plerrings these sites should be reconfigured to make them applicable to a russian missile strike. however, the current plans wouldn't be able to protect from an intermediate continental ballistic missile, only an intermediate range

foreign policy. >> what about other countries, china, north korea, that could pose some trouble because of how he responds? >> well, north korea has been a problem for a long time. i think at this point it is more a problem for china than the u.s. it is a pure client state of china. i don't like the way china is managing it. i would like them to do something to change things around rather than tolerate the horrible dictatorship that exists there. but i think china will keep it a very bad, very unhappy, but a very low volatility situation. >> let's go back to domestic politics. where do you place donald trump's economic man against hillary clinton's plan? what key factors in this plan do you think will nurture small business versus secretary clinton? >> well, i think it is, i think first off, it is just the general way in which it is rejecting the sort of bubble thinking. i think what we have to acknowledge is that the bubble that's we've had in this country since the 1990s, have not been catastrophic. the tech bubble that i experienced in the late '90s was extremely exciting. it seemed

problematic corruption tends to be in that country. it is the same for countries such as china, and vietnam, and indonesia. you find little bits and pieces of information. they refer to how privacy is, you know, it's a right of all citizens. but they don't really tell you how that's going to be enforced. that is a regulation that you see in china. i think some of the challenges in asia is just trying to harmonize the regulations for a lot of companies, a lot of our clients who are trying to operate and transfer data across the borders. you have a lot of -- so japan, for example, has got a new law will come into force in about two years, and that's probably the first time where we actually talk about the personalization. in terms of all the other countries, i think the idea of artificial intelligence is not even something that the countries have seriously considered. there are things you might see guidelines, you know, introduced by some of the regulators. but these are just guidelines, and there is no teeth to any of them. >> let me pick out a point which i think is implicit in what you sai

china's actions in the east and south china sea. the demands on the intelligence community are formidable. and the ic is working as best as they can, and we would consider their job to be outstanding to try to apply the scarce intelligence resources across all of these challenges. usdi and dni rely upon several joint forms where the joint service intelligence chiefs, intelligence combatant support agencies, cia and the dni convene. and these are regular visits -- include regular visits to all of our regional and functional combatant commands, participation in the afghan and counter isil war fighter integration, which we call the war fighting sig. and all of these are designed to address the war fighters most urgent operational needs. we have ten combatant commands who have ic representatives on them. that is another indication of how close our relationship is, and their robust presence even in afghanistan, iraq, syria and other places worldwide, especially in this zero-sum budget environment really speaks highly for the mission orientation of the entire ic. so i'm very grateful

attractiveness of china has dramatically raised as the rhetorical -- of the west. but first of all, it's the fault of the united states. there is no doubt, but they carry the burden of the worsening of the situation. and russia was always represented as a victim of the foreign animosity, foreign aggression which allows to use in the domestic policy to preserve the domestic policy. the aggression comes from outside from the only defender, but what is also important is the rise of the anxieties and feelings of the pre-war state of mind because this enhancement of the sense of threat of a great big war removes all the claims against the government but brings the consultation with the government and decrease the personal ambitions because since it is the war, we need to be patie patient. the most important matter here, we can endure everything as long as there is no war. this is the major -- this is the illustration of the idea that russia was always -- extremely important with -- after putin came to power, the environment of animosity of the surrounding world which allows to secure th

competitors are russia and china. because they're developing an awful lot of advanced capabilities that potentially worries. now, what are we trying to offset? in a case where we are projecting power across the oceans, most of the combat power of the united states is now resident on u.s. territory, either the continental united states, or states outside the continental land mass or in territories. that's different than in the cold war when we had a lot of forces forward, and the theaters they were expected to fight. finished the second thing is, offset strategies always happen when our potential competitors reach parody with us in certain areas. and our potential competitors had reached parity with us, and what we would term battle networks, theaterwide battle networks. it's just a sensor grid in the theater, an intelligence grid that tries to make sense of what's happening and say what type of effects would we like to achieve. and then you have an effects grid that goes out and tries to achieve the effects and they say let's do it. and a logistics and support grid that keens the whole

I just released Version 6.6 which adds the option to use RPN mode with an input buffer. This will be familiar to anyone who's used an HP48 or similar calculator. There are some minor fixes and improvements as well.


Whyborne's Endicott relatives have returned to collect on the promise he made to help them take back their ancestral manor from an evil cult. In exchange, they'll give him the key to deciphering the Wisborg Codex, which Whyborne needs to learn how to stop the masters.
To that end, Whyborne, his husband Griffin, and their friends Iskander and Christine travel to a small island off the coast of Cornwall. But when they arrive at Balefire Manor, Whyborne must not only face the evil within the ancient mansion, but the painful truth about his own destiny.
Seriously, Book 10?? I do not think I could ever tire reading stories in this wonderful series! Jordan Hawk has built a wonderful world of paranormal history, characters we love and arch enemies we fight in every book.
Wybornne and Griffin are a solid pair we hold dear. We have followed them from the beginning, learning their fears, their strengths, and their absolute adoration of each other. The added family of the fearless; Christine and her husband Iskander, Wybornne's Mother and Sister add a tremendous amount to the storyline too.
Balefire has not disappointed me; the fight goes on with our search for information to fight our enemy. I must say, Ms. Hawk has not spared the horror, gore and excitement for her readers this trip, evidenced by my bloody bitten lip and my wet palms, received while reading this adventure.
It scares me silly about what the finale might be, what Wybornne could become, as we get deeper and deeper. I await Book 11…….Nervously…..


Photo provided by Mercer Athletics.
Last Saturday, Mercer accomplished something it hasn't done since 1931: a win over The Citadel.
And it's not like the Bulldogs are a pushover. The Citadel entered the game ranked No. 17 in the FCS and as the reigning Southern Conference champion.
The Bears not only defeated the Bulldogs 24-14, but they did so on the road in impressive fashion. Mercer led 21-0 entering the fourth quarter before The Citadel mounted a minor comeback that came up short.
This wasn't your typical air-it-out contest. Mercer relied on its defense and running game, scoring all three of its scores on the ground — one from C.J. Leggett in the first quarter, then two from Tee Mitchell in the second and third quarters.
But they would only add a field goal in the fourth and allowed the Bulldogs to score 14 points, once again being outscored in the fourth quarter. The Bears have only won the fourth quarter once this year — in a win against VMI.
Last season, the defense ranked eighth in the conference in points allowed in the SoCon.
This season, it leads the SoCon in that category; the Bears are allowing only 18.8 points per game. But it's not just points per game.
Mercer's defense made play after play Saturday against The Citadel, including two forced turnovers in the fourth quarter that essentially saved the game — a turnover on downs on its own 13-yard line and an interception with more than three minutes remaining.
Because they're balling. The defense is also forcing turnovers — 15 total — ranking first in the conference and fifth in the country in turnover margin. And it's not a matter of the team getting "lucky"; using the Auburn game as a prime example, the Bears truly are forcing many of the turnovers.
The Citadel entered the game averaging more than 333 rushing yards per game. Mercer limited the Bulldogs to only 201 rushing yards. Performances like that not only impresses fans — it gives the players confidence, and it certainly seems like the defense is overflowing with it right now.
"It just makes us want to keep working harder because we want people to know that when they play us they're going to have to deal with our defense," Eric Jackson said.
A defense is a unit, but it helps if it has some standout players. Many players have made big impacts throughout the season so far, but Lee Bennett probably had the best individual defensive performance of the year Oct. 7Saturday: 16 tackles, two forced fumbles, a fumble recovery and a tackle for loss.
That stat line resulted in not only a SoCon Defensive Player of the Week award but the STATS National Defensive Player of the Week.
Lamb noted him as a highlight of the game, pointing out that "he played 72 of the 78 plays in very tough conditions" on top of his impressive stats. Bennett, a senior, leads the team with 54 tackles and is one of three linebackers on the team who has performed at a high level this season.
The Citadel runs an extremely run-heavy offense, and because of that, loves to control the tempo of the game. The Bears decided to try to beat the Bulldogs at their own game.
They did. The Citadel leads the conference in time of possession, more than 35 minutes a game, by a large margin. Mercer managed to beat the Bulldogs in the time of possession department — 33.5 minutes to 26.5.
Mercer ran the ball 50 times and passed it only 23 times. Quarterback Kaelan Riley passed for a season-low 111 yards while Mitchell rushed for 100 yards on 23 carries and Alex Lakes toted it 16 times for 86 yards.
The rushing attack has proven to be effective the last two weeks, going over the 200-yard mark both games. While Lamb and the offense may start to rely more on the running game and defense over the next few games, I wouldn't expect the game plan to be this conservative.
The Bears simply did what they had to win this game. And they did that, marking only the second time Mercer has beaten a ranked opponent in the modern era.


Let's keep these guys in the water where they belong.
So this summer in NC we have seen a nice return of redfish. The new net regulations that were meant to protect the turtles have worked. I am seeing turtles in creeks where I have not ever seen them. I have been fishing these areas for 15 years and had never seen a turtle in some of them. They drastically cut back the amount of gear and the amount of time that gear can be fished and "Presto", there's a turtle. It's not rocket science. Give them a chance and they will start to come back. As a nice side effect of this is the fact that redfish are around in nice numbers and staying around. In the past 4 years it was so bad, that if you found a school of redfish in a bay, creek or wherever, you could pretty much rest assured that after a day or two there would be nets wrapping up the whole place and the fish would be gone. You can't tell me they have not been targeting them because I know what I saw. It's obvious to me that somebody has been buying those fish. The guys were only allowed to keep 7 a day but there is no way they were doing that because they were wiping out whole schools and there would be no dead discards. That bust I reported on the other day is not even touching on the whole problem that was occurring. I say "was occurring" because it does not seem to be that way now as the fish are in the spots and staying there. They are not disappearing after a few days. We have been able to find them in the same spots all summer long. I have been able to watch schools of redfish smacking on shrimp day after day. Now here is where I am getting nervous. The gill netters are going to start crying to DMF…"There're more drum than there've ever bin! You gotta let us ketch um! The turtles ain't even in trubble. They're all over out there!" They are going to pester and prod and demand that they be able to set their nets like they did in the past and take more red drum and the turtles be damned. They don't care about fish in the water or wildlife being able to live, they want dead fish on the dock and the hell with anything that gets in the way. I don't really blame the netters anymore. It's the fish houses. The guys who buy the fish from the netters. Those guys keep the prices down artificially and it forces the netters to have to get more and more. The recent story on the convicted fish dealers is starting to open up some eyes. I am hoping that DMF stays the course and doesn't give it all away, maintains their stance on net restrictions, keeps the current abundance of reds and allows the fish to come back all the way. The fishing is good this year and could be even better!
I totally agree. i've seen turtles where i've never seen them before as well and in numbers. unfortunately where i fish, and have been fishing for years, rampant nettesr still target drum and have wiped out a school that was in there, as i was told by another source.
I still catch drum but no where near like i did before. i pray that D.M.F doesnt allow the nets to come back like they were. i hope they stand firm now that they have put there foot down and keep it there.

Drought Dents Crop Production Outlook in U.S., EU and China, as Ukraine Production Concerns About Next Crop Persist
Dow Jones writer Paulo Trevisani reported yesterday that, "Initial reports from the Pro Farmer crop tour point to disappointing yield potential."
The Dow Jones article noted that, "While yield counts from the eastern portion of the Pro Farmer Midwest Crop Tour are coming in stronger than those from the western leg, crop scouts on the ground are seeing smaller crops than anticipated."
Also yesterday, Bloomberg writers Tarso Veloso Ribeiro and Kim Chipman reported that, "The rough conditions have shriveled crops in the western corn belt. Some scouts were holding out hope that perhaps better acres in the eastern half could salvage the national harvest. Now, that optimism is fading. Instead, there's growing concern over a corn shortage."
"Data collected earlier in the week showed yields in South Dakota, Ohio, Nebraska and Indiana trailing last year's average. The bad news continued on Wednesday with figures showing the same kind of trend for many fields in Illinois, the No. 2 US producer. Preliminary findings in parts of Iowa were also disappointing," the Bloomberg article said.
Ribeiro and Chipman pointed out that, "Corn traded in Chicago rose 0.3% to settle at $6.5725 a bushel on Wednesday, after reaching a two-month high. The price climbed for a sixth straight day, marking the longest rally since February, when Russia's invasion of Ukraine first rattled global grain markets.
"A poor US harvest will likely exacerbate the food inflation that's already been gripping the world. War, drought and the overall impact of climate change have dwindled global grain stockpiles."
Reuters News reported yesterday that, "Bumper U.S. crops are needed to offset low global grain supplies, but extreme heat and widespread drought in parts of the Midwest have hampered fields and a string of troubled crop harvests worldwide are pointing to multiple years of tight supplies and high food costs."
Chicago #maize jumped to its highest level in more than one month on reports of withered crops in the American Midwest. The focus of grain markets seems to gradually shift from #geopolitics to #weather
— AMIS (@AMISoutlook) August 25, 2022
Financial Times writer Alice Hancock reported earlier this week that,
Almost half of the EU remains under drought conditions, an EU agency has said, with the weather set to remain hotter and drier until November.
"This will compound fears about crop shortages and energy supply in a continent already hit by a significant reduction in gas flows from Russia."
The FT article indicated that, "Such extreme lack of water and heat stress to plants has reduced forecasts for this year's summer harvest in Europe, with crops worst affected including maize, sunflowers and soyabeans. Yield forecasts for these crops are between 12 and 16 per cent below the five-year average, the [EU's Joint Research Centre] data showed."
Reuters writer Philip Blenkinsop reported earlier this week that, "Europe is facing its worst drought in at least 500 years, with two-thirds of the continent in a state of alert or warning, reducing inland shipping, electricity production and the yields of certain crops, a European Union agency said on Tuesday.
"The August report of the European Drought Observatory (EDO), overseen by the European Commission, said 47% of Europe is under warning conditions, with clear deficit of soil moisture, and 17% in a state of alert, in which vegetation is affected."
Also this week, Bloomberg writer Jinglu Gu reported that, "The extreme weather hitting China on all points of the compass comes at a pivotal time for the harvest in the world's most populous nation.
"China has largely escaped this year's surge in global food prices due to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. But persistent, searing heat in central and southwestern areas, and flooding in the northeast — all worsened by climate change — now threaten a grain harvest that runs to hundreds of millions of tons, most of which is gathered in the fall."
The Bloomberg article explained that, "The broadest risk is that lost output could raise China's already hefty import needs, adding to intense price pressures in the rest of the world. Global food supplies have been affected by the pandemic and then the war in Ukraine, sending grocery bills skyrocketing in some nations, while scorching conditions from the US Midwest to India continue to threaten crops in the northern hemisphere. China is by far the world's biggest importer of food."
The Associated Press reported earlier this week that, "With China's biggest freshwater lake reduced to just 25% of its usual size by a severe drought, work crews are digging trenches to keep water flowing to one of the country's key rice-growing regions.
"The dramatic decline of Poyang Lake in the landlocked southeastern province of Jiangxi had otherwise cut off irrigation channels to nearby farmlands. The crews, using excavators to dig trenches, only work after dark because of the extreme daytime heat, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.
"A severe heat wave is wreaking havoc across much of southern China."
Brian Spegele reported in today's Wall Street Journal that, "China's government unveiled tens of billions of dollars of economic support for its power and agricultural industries, which have been grappling with a record heat wave and drought that have cut into industrial production.
"The State Council, which serves as China's cabinet, approved 200 billion yuan ($29 billion) in new debt for the country's power generators and an additional 20 billion yuan fighting the drought and aiding the nation's rice harvest."
The Wall Street Journal (Page A7 – August 25, 2022).
Today's article stated that, "The heat wave is the worst to hit China in six decades."
Meanwhile, Bloomberg writers Megan Durisin, Volodymyr Verbyany, and Aine Quinn reported yesterday that, "The good news is that Ukraine's crucial grain is leaving its ports again. The bad news is that farmland lost to the war and weak local prices are threatening its next wheat harvest.
"Ukraine's Wheat Is Flowing Again But Fears Grow About Next Crop," by Megan Durisin, Volodymyr Verbyany, and Aine Quinn. Bloomberg News (August 25, 2022).
"Ukraine is one of the top wheat growers, so the amount it produces will be key to determining if global supplies stay tight next year and also an important driver of world food prices."
The Bloomberg writers explained that, "Most of Ukraine's wheat consists of winter varieties, which are sown from now and then lie dormant during the coldest months, before resuming growth in spring. Farmers near the western border that's farthest from the front lines are operating more normally, but the situation is more difficult moving east."
The article noted that, "Traders need to clear backlogged crops from the 2021 harvest while also selling this year's crops, keeping local prices subdued.
"That's prompting some growers to switch to more lucrative crops like oilseeds."
"While the newly opened grain-export corridor is helping sales, the pace isn't yet fast enough to significantly bolster wheat prices that remain below growing costs, [Agribusiness Agricom Group CEO Petro Melnyk] said."

At the time of writing, it's been a very dry spring. It's looking more like second fall around here. The Noodler's Red Black and Rome Burning inks I've been using lately are really helping with that fall color feeling.
Here's some sketches from the smaller of our neighborhood cemeteries: Notre-Dame-des-Neiges.
These are sketched in a Moleskine Folio Watercolor Album, (11.75 x 8.25″) - which is a beautiful book, with this very wide format. But it is frankly just a little bit too large for every day use. It takes up a lot of room in a bag, and I'd definitely consider a backing board and bulldog clips to hold it open when drawing. It wants to flop around, fall off my knees, or otherwise behave badly. I'm starting to think that a book bigger than you can easily hold in one hand calls for an easel for sketching. But if I was going to do that I'd just paint rather than sketch.

'Yellowstone' Star Ryan Bingham Shares Acoustic Version of His 'Hallelujah': VIDEO
by Amy Myers January 9, 2022
written by Amy Myers January 9, 2022
On Yellowstone, Ryan Bingham plays the mysterious ranchhand and former prisoner, Walker, who joins the rest of the bunkhouse on the Dutton's ranch. In real life, though, Bingham is a talented singer-songwriter with a voice that feels like a shot of honey whiskey.
Despite his less-than-popular character among fans, Bingham still enjoys every moment that he gets to work on the Yellowstone set. Now that Season 4 of the show is finally complete, the country artist decided to gift fans of his music and the show with his unplugged version of a song used for one of the episodes. On Instagram, the singer-turned-actor posted a video of himself in usual Walker attire, blue jeans and a cowboy hat, while he sat with his back to roaring fire.
"Here's an acoustic version of 'Hallelujah' that you may recognize from this past season of @yellowstone – thanks for listening and hope ya digs. #YellowstoneTV," Bingham said of his casual performance.
Take a listen.
A post shared by Ryan Bingham (@ryanbinghamofficial)
On the show, Bingham's character will sometimes pull out his six-string and serenade the rest of the bunkhouse when they need a bit of music to punctuate particularly intense moments. And each time, the Yellowstone cast member amazes us with how naturally that gritty, cowboy tone comes to him.
Listen to Bingham's performance in this scene of Yellowstone with Jimmy Hurdstrom (Jefferson White) and Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser).

'Yellowstone' Ranchhands Don't Get Along with Bingham's Character
Walker and Jimmy Hurdstrom don't have too different backstories on Yellowstone, but the major difference that separates the two is that throughout Hurdstrom's time on the ranch, he's earned the trust and respect of his co-workers. Both he and Walker had criminal backgrounds, and Rip Wheeler offered them a different road to take. While the two men agreed to accept the Yellowstone brand, Hurdstrom seemed to prove his loyalty.
Meanwhile, Walker found himself in a feud with beloved ranchhand and fan-favorite, Lloyd. Ever since Walker set foot on the ranch, Lloyd never had any interest in getting to know him. And the tension continued when Walker stole Lloyd's love interest, Laramie, right from underneath his nose. Naturally, the two ended up in a brawl over the matter, the first of many.
Even though Wheeler stepped in to separate the fight, this didn't keep Lloyd from attacking Walker. At one point, in Season 4, Lloyd even smashed his opponent's guitar and stabbed him. And towards the end of the season, Wheeler permitted them to one final fight to get out their aggression toward each other.
Thankfully for Bingham, Walker lived to see another day on the Yellowstone ranch. But if Lloyd has any say in the matter, this won't be for very long.

CBI court to try Kerala CPI-M leaders in murder case
Kochi, June 17: In a setback to the state's ruling CPI-M, the Kerala High Court on Monday directed that a murder case in which two top party leaders are accused be shifted from Kannur to the CBI court here.
The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), in February, had filed the final charge sheet against senior Communist Party of India-Marxist leader P. Jayarajan and young party legislator T.V. Rajesh in the February 2012 Abdul Shukoor murder case.
Hearing the CBI's plea, the high court ordered transfer of the trial from the Tellichery court, where the CBI had initially filed the charge sheet, to the CBI court in Kochi.
While Jayarajan has been charged under Sections 302 (murder) and 124 b (criminal conspiracy) of the Indian Penal Code, Rajesh has been charged under the latter section.
Both leaders were arrested in the case in August 2012 and sent to jail before they managed to secure bail.
Jayarajan, who had unsuccessfully contested the recent Lok Sabha elections from the Vadakara constituency and is also a former legislator, has been named as 32nd accused, while Rajesh is the 33rd.
The first six accused are CPI-M youth wing activists who are charged with the actual murder of Shukoor. An activist of the youth wing of the Indian Union Muslim League (IUML), a constituent of the Congress-led UDF, the 22-year-old Shukoor was killed by alleged CPI-M activists in Kannur in full public glare in February 2012.
When Jayarajan was arrested in August 2012, Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan, then the party's state Secretary, had called for a state-wide shutdown the next day.
Update: 17 June, 2019

Q: Changing mock responses on a 'per test' basis I have just started setting up e2e tests for our angular project.
We have a page that collects and displays a lot of data from server.
The user will interact with the page in a limited number of ways, but the data can be presented in many different ways depending on what data the server returns.
In my current setup i define a couple of responses (using ngmocke2e) when the page loads in e2e mode.
I would like to start configuring the ngmocke2e-server responses in a before-each or similar structure in each of my test files. This would allow me to conditionally check that the page renders as expected with different sets of data.
Is there any way of doing this? It seems like a fairly obvious usecase, but I haven't found anything yet in documentation or by crawling the web.
plz halp!

A: I eventually discovered protractor-http-mock (https://github.com/atecarlos/protractor-http-mock).
It did everything I wanted and can be easily run from grunt with grunt-protractor-runner & grunt-contrib-connect.
With this approach I could also avoid having a separate build process in grunt for the end2end testing (which was an ugly hassle with ngmockE2E).

Italy Releases Draft Declaration of Internet Rights
By Cynthia O'Donoghue on 31 March 2015
Italy's Chamber of Deputies has proposed a 'Draft Declaration of Internet Rights' (Declaration), acknowledging both the way in which the internet has changed interactions and the way it has erased borders, but also noting that the EU's protection of personal data is a necessary reference for governing operation of the internet. The Declaration is now open to public consultation until 27 February 2015.
The aim of the Declaration is to establish some general principles to be implemented by national legislation. It consists of a preamble and 14 articles covering topics including the fundamental right to internet access, net neutrality and right to be forgotten.
In particular, there is strong emphasis on the protection of the individual from widespread monitoring. Article 9 of the Declaration, for example, states that restrictions on anonymous communications "may be imposed only when based on the need to safeguard the public interest and are necessary, proportionate, and grounded in law and in accordance with the basic principles of a democratic society."
This publication is not the first of its kind and follows the German Bundestag committee work on the 'Digital Agenda', France's parliamentary committee report on Rights and Liberties in the Digital Age, and Brazil's Marco Civil.
The Declaration has received a mixed response, including from Italy's Data Protection Commissioner, who expressed some concern about the rights to be anonymous and to be forgotten (Articles 9 and 10). A particular concern raised about the right to be forgotten, relates to increasing the scope of the right to permit court appeals of decisions relating to search engine de-listings where there is a public interest in preserving the information, which in principle sounds like a promotion of freedom of speech, but could have the opposite effect by focusing undue attention on individual requesting de-listing.
As a Declaration it will not become binding even after being finalised after the public consultation period; however, it will form a statement of principles on internet governance and the rights of individuals.

Last night's epic win by the Philadelphia Eagles over New England at the Super Bowl LII was even impressive from a watch perspective. It turns out that Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie brought a good luck charm to the game with him: his father's watch. In different interviews last night and today, Lurie said that he kept the watch in his jacket pocket, feeling for it regularly and hoping the Eagles would win their very first Super Bowl. The timepiece, you ask? Vacheron Constantin. We are trying to verify the details on that watch, and will bring an update soon, but from what it looks like in the video below- it was a square or rectangular yellow gold watch.
Below you can watch a video interview Lurie did with ESPN where he talks about the sentimental value of the watch.
Any update on the mysterious gold watch kept in Lurie's pocket during the game? Just curious.

We are extremely proud to share with all of you some great news. A few months ago the Florida Department of Education published the Accountability Report for all public schools in Florida for the 2012-2013 school year. Archimedean Upper Conservatory ranked #1 among all public high schools in the state, receiving more points than any other school in Florida (1538 out of 1600).
All the categories above are included in the calculation of a score (of maximum 1600 points) for each high school in Florida and subsequently each school is given a letter grade A through F. You can find more details about Florida' high school accountability system here. As one can see, this system takes into account a wide variety of factors, including students' performance in state high school exams, students' improvement from year to year, students' performance in college level exams, and students' preparation and readiness to enter college.
All of us at Archimedean Upper Conservatory are very proud not only because AUC received a letter grade A, as it has every year in the past, but also because it surpassed every other high school in Florida. This stellar performance is credited to all the students of AUC's Class of 2013, Class of 2014, Class of 2015, and Class of 2016, all the faculty and staff of the school, and all the parents and friends of Archimedean.
Besides being ranked #1 in Florida (FLDOE 2013), our school has recently received outstanding rankings at the national level, being ranked #19 in the U.S. (The Washington Post 2014), #54 in the U.S. (Newsweek 2013), and #100 in the U.S. (U.S. News 2014), a testament to the quality of education and learning our faculty and our students achieve.
The accountability report for the 2013-2014 school year is expected to be released by the Florida Department of Education either later this year or early in 2015.
Written by Dr. George Kafkoulis on 17 April 2014 .
The Archimedean Upper Conservatory received a US National High School Ranking of #19 (25th in 2013), by the Washington Post America's Most Challenging High Schools 2014. The ranking is based on an index that measures the depth of the College Preparatory Program, graduating rates and University placements, as well as the index of Free and Reduced Lunch for each school during the 2012-2013 school year. Another interesting fact is that AUC has the 8th highest SAT average score among the top 20 schools in this ranking. This satistic suggests that AUC has better top ranked University placement results than most of the top 20 schools.
This is an important accomplishment for AUC.

These homemade Pumpkin Pie Apple Crisps are an easy, healthy, vegan, gluten free way to eat a sweet fall inspired treat from the dehydrator!
Our new favorite snack! Have I talked about how amazing our dehydrator is? Between the kale chips, beef jerky, and even the sun dried tomatoes, this is by far our favorite kitchen gadget. But now, now we have our new fall snack. Pumpkin Pie Apple Crisps!
Even better, they are SO easy! Just apples (I chose some beautiful local Honey Crisps), some fresh lemon juice, and some pumpkin pie spice. Ok, honestly, I had wanted to just use cinnamon, but all we had were cinnamon sticks and I did not feel like grating it all down. Then, I found this pumpkin pie spice and thought, why not? Cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, all spice, and cloves already mixed together. Ideally, I would have liked to make our own spice blend, but I figured we might as well use up this blend first.
So with my mandolin I just sliced the apples about a 1/6 of an inch thick into a bowl. Then I squeezed half a lemon over the slices and sprinkled about a tablespoon of the pumpkin pie spice.
Then I mixed well(ish) and lined in the dehydrator for them to dry overnight.
The next day, we had these lovely, crisp, sweet, pumpkin pie flavored apple crisps!
Seriously, the best fall snack eveerrr. They're super healthy, gluten free, and vegan! We are officially obsessed with them; I have another 4 apples in the dehydrator now!
A super healthy, easy, dehydrator snack!
Add lemon juice to apples and mix, then sprinkle pumpkin pie spice slowly over the apples while continuing to mix so spice is evenly distributed.
In dehydrator, line apples on racks and dry over night (8-10 hours) at 135°. When they first come out, they wont be super crispy, but they will in time, at least an hour. Place crisps in ziplock or tupperware to store.
Apples can also be baked on baking sheets. Pre-heat oven to 225° and bake for 45 min to an hour.

Animal racing quickly grew to become favored by the masses and the gambling began spilling over to other sporting events as well.
Legal issues of on line sports betting aren't a breeze to deal with or even generalize. There are various kinds of laws with regard to betting and rules differ from nation to nation. In the usa, it is stated the law to get followed would be the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1994 that stipulates that any kind of operation or even betting action within whatever style is illegal other than for a couple states like Nevada.
There are lots of methods for earning as well as winning big bucks in the sports activities betting business. If you are smart enough and have the right data, know-how as well as understanding you can develop into an intelligent handicapper and become prosperous gambling once the odds are generally in your favor.
Sports gambling and gambling continues to be well-liked all over the world. Sports fanatics specifically sports such as football, baseball, basketball fans consider online sports wagering probably the most exciting options to generate profit.
