Like all local authorities, West Lothian Council has a duty to stop fraud entering the Welfare Benefit system. Fraud costs the Government millions every year and it is the vast majority of honest claimants and Taxpayers who are left to pick up the bill.
People are committing benefit fraud where they are claiming Housing Benefit or other Social Security benefits but they have no right or entitlement to benefit.
In order to identify and stamp out fraud in the benefit system, the council works closely with the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) to investigate allegations of benefit fraud.
People who are working but don't tell us this when they claim.
People who claim to be single but have a partner residing with them.
People who claim from one address but live at another.
People who don't declare all their income and capital when they claim.
People who fail to report changes in their circumstances that affect their benefit.
In addition to these, anyone who commits benefit fraud will still be required to pay back any overpaid benefit. Fraudulent overpayments are recovered at higher rate.
If you know or suspect that Benefit Fraud is taking place, you can telephone the Local Authority Fraud Hotline on 0800 854 440 Mon - Fri between 8.00 am and 6.00 pm. If you have speech or hearing problems you can use a text phone service on 0800 328 0512.
Any information provided, will be treated in the strictest confidence and will be used only for the prevention or detection of a crime.

How FIFA World Cup correlates with the stock market
FIFA World Cup 2022 kicks off on Sunday, November 20, 2022, with the host country, Qatar, playing Ecuador. The FIFA World Cup is undoubtedly the biggest and most anticipated event in the world of sports. You may have heard of the "World Cup effect" when the excitement surrounding the event boosts tourism, jobs, and investment in the host country. Plus, it also give a major impact on the economy and the stock market as well.
Here's the correlation of FIFA with sales and trading.
As a result of the World Cup preparation, Qatar's stock market performance increased by more than 50% over the course of five years.
"Given that the country is preparing for the World Cup for more than a decade, to focus on a short period of stock performance won't be a fair reflection," – Akber Khan, Senior Director of Asset Management, Al Rayan Investment (Doha-Based).
The stock market performance of the countries involved seems to be impacted by the euphoria of winning or losing the World Cup. So, in what ways does FIFA impact the stock market? It can be impacted either directly through sponsorship or indirectly, such as through behavioral economics.
Attention Allocation
The 2014 FIFA World Cup was watched by 3.2B people and the 2018 FIFA World Cup was watched by 3.572B people. The final 2018 match was seen live by a combined 1.12 billion viewers worldwide. Basically, more than half the world watched the record-breaking 2018 World Cup. It is likely for the viewership to replicate itself during the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Time and attention are two scarce resources. In this context, we can see how fans allocate more of their attention to the games and less to invest. Their time and attention will be diverted to the match if those matches coincide with trading hours.
Not only that, relevant market news and events may not be as impactful and market reaction will likely be less active as lower liquidity may develop in the market.
Tech - Apps and Screens
As matches play out, the use of screens and apps increases. Some looking for instant live commentation on social media. Elon Musk highlighted that Twitter saw 'almost' 20,000 tweets per second during FIFA World Cup 2022 as of Wednesday, November 23, 2022.
It might be possible due to giant teams playing the Wednesday match, which consists of Morocco playing against Croatia, Germany vs Japan, and Spain vs Costa Rica. After Musk's sudden firing event after taking over the company, he thanked the team for "managing record usage."
Analysts are speculating that this could lead to a much-needed lift for tech stocks. According to a YouGov survey, during FIFA World Cup 2018, 70% of fans read sports event-related posts on Facebook, while 52% watched highlighted matches clips on Instagram Stories.
This highlights a great opportunity for the digital advertising and commerce sectors. The events will provide a great opportunity for companies that specialize in digital ads, especially for social media platforms.
Twitter might be a good stock to look at, however, the stock had been delisted on November 8, 2022. Other high-traffic platforms to look at are Google (NYSE:GOOG) and Meta (NYSE:META). Both companies are the market maker in digital ads and might have a boost from the event.
<Read: The Battle of Digital Ads Giants>
The legendary FIFA series is a series of association football video games developed and released annually by Electronic Arts (NYSE:EA) under the EA Sports label for over 20 years, and is now the largest sports video game franchise. The series will be known as EA Sports FC from 2023. The video game could see and usage increase during FIFA 2022.
During the World Cup, many e-commerce sites will get sales to boost as people tend to purchase a new football team jersey, sports attires, and many more. E-commerce companies like Amazon, Alibaba, and eBay might be beneficial.
(as at the time of writing)
Nevertheless, since the start of the 2022 World Cup, directly impacted by sales will be the giant sports attire Nike (NYSE:NKE), which is the largest kit sponsor rose 0.34% while Adidas, on the other hand, dropped 0.082% while Puma the 3rd largest kit sponsor fell by 0.67%.
Football is a social activity, often involving gatherings, food, and drinks. Food such as burgers and pizzas which are often chosen as match-viewing favorite food, along with FIFA partners like Coca-Cola (NYSE:KO) and McDonald's (NYSE:MCD) might see sales boost.
Not only that, food delivery services will only benefit from it. For instance, the Chinese app Meituan saw food orders jump by 40% in the 15 minutes preceding the first 2018 World Cup match.
Meanwhile, in the UK, according to Bloomberg, an analyst from Citigroup predicted a boost in sales from food-delivery firms such as Just Eat and Deliveroo, as many fans may opt to order food right from their living room.
Loss Effect
The outcome of the World Cup is connected to how investors respond to the stock market activity. Basically, if the team you are supporting lost in their match, it will be affecting your mood. Thus, this will spill over to the stock market price.
On the other hand, researcher found that a goal scored by either team reduced the number of trades by another 10%. This is due to the attention span having shifted towards the goal. As the loss affects the misery it causes for the losing team investor fan may wear off a lil longer. It usually takes between ½ to an hour after the match for trading momentum to return to normal.
An opportunistic investor might take the events as an opportunity to ride the wave of liquidity drop and purchase at discount and place their strategies for future price movements of correspondent companies during these times.
The key-takeaways/market update is a new series by AxeHedge, which serves as an initiative to bring compact and informative In/Visible Talks recaps/takeaways on leading brands and investment events happening around the globe.

Philadelphia Freedom
I have the ultimate love-hate relationship with Philadelphia. This morning, more than ever.
My family lives halfway between there and New York City, so whenever I'd visit I'd see TV news from both cities. I got to appreciate and understand why Jim O'Brien is as beloved by their ABC-owned station as Bill Beutel was to his. I'd be as facile with the morning rush hour crawl on the Sure-Kill as I was on the LIE. I knew enough to know what's a really good cheesesteak and why (and, honestly, there's almost no completely wrong answer for which South Philly landmark you prefer).
And I'd always see how red-hot rivalries between the two cities' sports teams are covered from both sides. And it's pretty clear that most Phillies fans despise the Mets, and vice-versa. This year, both teams are looking to rebound from disappointing seasons, and they met for the first of 19 times last night at Citizens' Bank Park.
The 2022 Phillies are built on pure power and intimidation much like the Yankees attempt to be. Considering they have ex-Yankee skipper Joe Girardi as manager, that's not surprising. In Bryce Harper, Nick Castellanos, Rhys Hoskins and others, they have built a formidable hitting lineup not rivaled by many other teams, in direct contrast with the pitching-centric Mets.
So when the Mets broke out to an early lead off 2021 surprise reliever-turned-solid-starter Ranger Suarez, things looked encouraging. Alec Bohm, a third baseman who had had success against Mets starter Taijuan Walker, made three errors in helping that 3-0 lead cement, leading to a viral video of him muttering "I f—in' hate this place" going out during the game. Naturally, online Phans were apopletic. One can only imagine devout Mets fan Jerry Seinfield mocking him with something akin to "Alec BOHHHHHHHHHHHM!!!!!".
3-0 became 4-0, and as the game headed into the eighth things looked pretty good for the Mets. Despite Walker leaving the game early with an apparent injury (there goes my two-start fantasy slot?), the bullpen was solid. But when Kelso, Washington native Trevor May had to leave early with a possible injury of his own, the Mets had to go to Joely Rodriguez, a late acquisition from a rare Yankee trade who is typically a situational southpaw choice, in a key hold situation, and he got hit hard. He got two outs but allowed a two-run shot by Bohm that effectively served as his redemption. Seth Lugo was no better tonight, so when Ex-Yankee (noticing a pattern) Didi Gregorious stroked a double off Lugo to give the Phils the lead they didn't relinquish, it all seemed like destiny.
Yet another tense bitter moment between the two intertwined franchises. Both blew significant late-season leads toward championships–the Phillies blew a 6 1/2 lead in the National League in 1964 wt. 10 games left, the Mets a 7-game lead in 2007 with 17 games left to–the Phillies. There's that 26-7 whumping the Phillies gave the Mets in 1985 where two different Mets relievers each gave up 10 runs apiece–and the fact that even in the Mets' most successful year ever, 1986, the Phillies had a winning record against them, sweeping a late-season series denying the Mets the chance to clinch their division title on their turf.
On the other hand, Tug McGraw helped each of us win our first world's championship. And both are excellent markets to work in, and frankly, for the chance to work there I'll even deal with yesterday's decision that Philly was reinstating indoor masking, becoming the first major U.S. city to reverse course in dealing with the endemic. It;s a good thing the Phillie Phanatic works outdoors.
Three more games this week. And let's not forget the Phils now have Jeurys Familia, former Mets closer, in their bullpen arsenal. Had the Mets mounted a rally of any consequence last night, Morning Call PA reported that Familia might have gotten the call, since he knows so many of the Mets hitters well.
As someone who rode many a roller coaster with Familia during both of his stints with the Mets, caveat emptor.
I love the Mets, but I love passionate fan bases even more. Few cities have fan bases as rabid as Philadelphia's. It's what fuels rivalries, ignites passions, and makes this whole trip around the sun worthwhile.
Even if after nights like last night I just say…Phuck it all.

Bram Stoker's Dracula and Popular Culture
The Man Behind the Book
For an author of a world-famous book who has been dead for over a century, Bram Stoker represents a strange instance in which the efforts of literary historians have been outpaced by those of literary theorists. A number of factors aligned for this to happen. For one, the Stoker family did not become especially active in stewarding Bram's legacy until Noel Thornley Stoker, Bram's only son, assisted Harry Ludlam's 1962 Biography of Dracula, which was something of a watershed in the telling of Bram's life story. Bram himself was not exactly an active participant in his own time either; the closest he came to autobiography was his Personal Reminiscences of Henry Irving. Though Dracula was better received in its own time than is commonly realized, it would not be a stretch to say that Bram Stoker was better known for his managing role in London's Lyceum Theatre—at the time, the leading theatre of the world's leading city—than his work as an author.

Indigo® sodium benzoate test papers complement our PTC & thiourea taste test papers. Taste sensitivity to sodium benzoate is an inherited trait & follows a Hardy-Weinberg population genetics distribution.
Homozygous-dominant and heterozygous-dominant genotypes have comparable sensitivity to sweetness, saltiness or bitterness. Like sensitivity to PTC, this can influence food preferences and affect dietary choices.
Sodium benzoate is a chemical compound synthesized from benzoic acid and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). It is used as a preservative in salad dressings, pickles, sauces, condiments, fruit juices, wine & snack foods.
Details In Kits Specs Reviews Related Products
This excerpt is from an article by Louis R. Hundley, Assistant Professor of Biology, Virginia Military Institute.
"Sodium benzoate is another substance which can be tasted by some people but is tasteless to others. This compound in concentrations of around 0.1 per cent is sometimes used as a food preservative, but its use for this purpose is subject to controversy because some experiments led to the conclusions that benzoates were distinctly detrimental to health. State regulations regarding the use of benzoates as preservatives vary widely; some states prohibit their use, others place severe restrictions on their use, and still others have liberal regulations which control the utilization of benzoates as food preservatives.
Albert Blakeslee reports that a 0.1 per cent solution of sodium benzoate had a distinct taste to over a quarter of the 250 people tested. Information (received as personal communication from Arthur L. Fox), says that both tasters and non-tasters for PTC can be subdivided into five subgroups depending on whether sodium benzoate is to them (1) salty, (2) sweet, (3) sour, (4) bitter, or (5) tasteless. Fox found that "after testing about 1500 people, practically every possible combination of tastes could be found except that in which PTC was tasteless and sodium benzoate bitter.
The more numerous cases were (giving the tastes in the order: PTC-sodium benzoate): (1) bitter-salty, (2) bitter-sweet, (3) bitter-bitter, (4) tasteless-salty. It further appears the 'bitter-salty' group finds the taste of a variety of foods which may be considered controversial (sauerkraut, buttermilk, turnips, spinach, etc.) more attractive than average, whereas those who are in the 'bitter-bitter' group like the taste of such foods less than average."

Suppose that my iPhone remains on, but I shut down/hibernate/sleep my laptop. After I turn on my laptop again, why does 'iPhone' never appear on my laptop's WiFi list automatically? I have waited 10, 30, 60 mins, and repeated this process 5 times.
Then  I enter Settings > PH, change nothing, and see no changes. 3 mins. later, iPhone appears on my laptop's WiFi list.

A: The problem is with the iOS Personal Hotspot feature. By design, the network is discoverable only when the Hotspot screen is open. This means that your PC can't find the network when waking up/rebooting. Unfortunately there seems to be no workaround, I was looking for the same thing for my old car stereo, and I ultimately ended up getting a dedicated personal hotspot for it.
The only workaround is to open the Personal Hotspot screen every time you restart/wake up the PC.

A: By default, Windows does not do "Bonjour", which is Apple's discovery protocol. If you have a Mac or iPad, you've likely noticed that your iPhone shows up after just a few seconds if they're both connected to the same iCloud account.
You may have better luck after installing Bonjour for Windows. Unfortunately I've long been rid of any "true" Windows PC's so I can't test it for you.
When Bonjour is enabled, part of the discovery can be over Bluetooth for power reasons, so you may want to check whether your Windows box supports Bluetooth and has it enabled.
To identify whether the problem is on the Windows side or the Apple side, I suggest checking whether your iPhone shows up on a Mac/iPad connected to the same iCloud account.

A: This seems to be more of a Windows questions.
At first glance this might be your problem (and possible solution): https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_10-networking/wifi-fails-to-automatically-re-connect-after-sleep/2596b501-366a-4b82-a5fd-4466eae7caad?auth=1

Q: Mocking virtual method on already-instantiated concrete class I'm looking to write some unit tests for Service Fabric actors. The guidance here suggests using a NuGet package called ServiceFabric.Mocks that simplifies spinning up mocks of the various Service Fabric entities.
All this makes sense so far. I can use the following to spin up a concrete implementation for my actor:
private MyActor CreateActor(ActorId id)
{
  Func<ActorService, ActorId, ActorBase> factory = (service, actorId) => new MyActor(service, id);
  var svc = MockActorServiceFactory.CreateActorServiceForActor<MyActor>(factory);
  var actor = svc.Activate(id);

  return actor;
}

As long as I stick to the example in the package docs and test the result of a single method, I'm set. However, I've got a method that calls another method in the actor and uses its result. It looks like the following:
public class MyActor : Actor, IMyActor
{
  public async Task<string> DoThis()
  {
    var result = await DoThat();

    //...
  }

  public virtual async Task<string> DoThat()
  {
     //...
  }
}

I would like to be able to mock the DoThat method in my actor so I might test the DoThis method, but it's not clear how to do that given that the result of the ServiceFabric.Mocks is a concrete object.
The only two ways I see to move forward are:
1) Identify some way to create a mock of an already instantiated class
2) Recreate the functionality of this mocks library myself so I might mock out the method before the concrete object is created
Is there any way to go about approaching #1 without resorting to #2?

A: Instead of using a mock, you could create a new class, near your unit test, that inherits from your MyActor and override the DoThat implementation for test purposes:
private class MyTestActor : MyActor
{
   public string Result {get; set;} = "ok";
   public override Task<string> DoThat() { return Task.FromResult(Result); }
}

Your test code would be like this:
private MyActor CreateActor(ActorId id)
{
  Func<ActorService, ActorId, ActorBase> factory = (service, actorId) => new MyTestActor(service, id);
  var svc = MockActorServiceFactory.CreateActorServiceForActor<MyTestActor>(factory);
  var actor = svc.Activate(id);

  return actor;
}

Or, you could move the logic from DoThat into a separate class with an interface, use dependency injection and pass in different implementations for test / real runs.

Mexican Drug lord Joaquín Guzmán Loera" El Chapo "to face life in prison, after convicted in US trial
AdminForeign News
Mexican drug cartel boss, lord Joaquín Guzmán Loera known as "El Chapo" has been found guilty after a three-month drug trial and to face life in prison in a U.S. court on Tuesday of drug trafficking.
Jurors in a federal court in Brooklyn have delivered a guilty verdict on all 10 charges after hearing testimony from 56 witnesses for over 200 hours in total.
U.S. prosecutors said he trafficked tons of cocaine, heroin, marijuana and methamphetamine into the United States over more than two decades, consolidating his power in Mexico through murders and wars with rival cartels.
The drug baron lord was extradited to the United States for trial in 2017 after he was arrested in Mexico the year before.He was accused of trafficking tons of illicit drugs on several separate occasions, organizing a murder conspiracy and illegal use of firearms.
Guzmán Loera,ran the Sinaloa drug cartel for decades, he was a key player in the Mexican drug cartel landscape. Unlike other people in a similar position, Guzman would not plead guilty and went for a public trial after being extradited to the US.
Guzmán's lawyers said they will appeal in a higher court. They said Guzmán had expected the guilty verdict. "I've never faced a case with so many cooperating witnesses and so much evidence," Jeffrey Lichtman, one of Guzmán's lawyers said.
Guzman's former associates, including a bodyguard, several lieutenants and a mistress, told the court about his large-scale criminal enterprise that was as complex as a big international corporation.
The defense team called only one witness and was trying to question the credibility of the prosecution witnesses during the trial.
He used elaborate cross-border tunnels to smuggle drugs to the US, detailed accounting of criminal proceeds, encrypted communication through Canada-based servers and an entire fleet of vehicles.
The cartel relied heavily on corruption in Mexico, with bribes paid to officials allegedly including the former president Enrique Pena Nieto, as well as violence against both competition and law enforcement.

« Truck Accident Closes Maine Highway Near Brunswick for Hours
Driver Faces Charges in Fatal Truck Accident in North Carolina »
Truck Accident Spills Mayonnaise on Missouri Highway Near Springfield
May 4th, 2011 | Author: TALStaff
SPRINGFIELD, MO – A semi truck accident spilled a load of mayonnaise Saturday evening, February 26, on a highway in Greene County, Missouri. The single vehicle crash occurred in the westbound lanes of Interstate 44 near the juncture with U.S. Highway 65 in the city of Springfield, MO. The truck accident area is in the southwest part of Missouri, about 128 miles east of Parsons, Kansas and about 78 miles north of Harrison, Arkansas.
On Saturday an unidentified man was driving a semi trailer truck through Greene County in southwest Missouri. The semi driver was hauling approximately 40,000 pounds of mayonnaise at the time of the truck accident. The driver's destination is not known however the boxes were labeled for delivery to Subway, a restaurant chain based in Milford, Connecticut. It is believed the cargo was on its way to several of the company's restaurants.
At about 5:45 p.m. the driver had just entered the city of Springfield, still traveling west on I-44. The tractor trailer was approaching the juncture with U.S. Highway 65 when the semi driver suddenly lost control of his rig near mile marker 82. According to police investigating the truck accident, the 18 wheeler crossed over the westbound lanes and crashed into the cable barrier running down the center of the interstate. The semi truck entered the median and continued forward, passing between support pillars for an overpass bridge for U.S. 65, hit a pylon and crashed into a guardrail. The trailer section of the semi practically exploded upon impact and 40,000 pounds of mayonnaise sprayed across the highway and into the eastbound lanes of I-44.
The traffic that was behind the semi trailer on the highway was able to slow down and no other persons or vehicles were involved in the truck accident.
Police and local rescue personnel quickly responded to the collision. The semi driver was able to get out of the partially crushed cab section of the tractor trailer and was not injured in the truck accident.
The spilled cargo of mayonnaise coated the eastbound lanes of the interstate, and the oil-based substance made the road slick and dangerous. Police had to shut down a section of the interstate in both directions and reroute traffic around the truck accident site.
Missouri Department of Transportation highway crews spent hours cleaning the mayonnaise off the eastbound lanes of the interstate. Front loaders were brought to the truck accident site and scooped up the condiment. The next step was to spread lime powder over the remaining mayonnaise to soak it up off the asphalt.
Thunderstorms were expected to hit the area in just a few hours and police hoped to get the truck accident mess cleared before the rains started and mixed with the oily mayonnaise, making the road surfaces even slicker and more dangerous.
Crews used a heavy duty wrecker to tow the destroyed cab and trailer sections of the truck out of the median and off the interstate. MDOT also sent engineers to the truck accident site to inspect the US 65 overpass bridge support pillars. They determined that the pillars were undamaged and structurally sound, and safe for travel.
All lanes of I-44 were opened by 2:30 a.m. Sunday morning, almost nine hours after the truck accident.
Police have reconstructed the single vehicle crash but have not released their final determinations. The cause of the truck accident is still not known, nor is the reason the semi driver lost control of the 18 wheeler. Police have not confirmed if the driver submitted to a toxicology screening which is often mandatory after a commercial truck incident.
If the driver is found responsible for the crash, he or his employer may be compelled to pay for the cost of cleaning up the truck accident site.
The truck accident remains under investigation.

Arms Dealer Offers $1m for iPhone Exploits
Slack Alice Slogger, Infosecurity Magazine
Email Slack
Here's a storyline straight out of James Bond: We have entered the era of million-dollar arms-dealing. And the weapon is an iPhone hack.
As the iPhone 6s hits the US market, cybersecurity weapons-dealer Zerodium has announced that it will reward $1m to anyone able to crack Apple's just-launched iOS 9 operating system. It will pay up to three teams the full amount for working exploits that can compromise the system.
"Apple iOS, like all operating systems, is often affected by critical security vulnerabilities. However, due to the increasing number of security improvements and the effectiveness of exploit mitigations in place, Apple's iOS is currently the most secure mobile OS," the company said in a blog post. "But don't be fooled, secure does not mean unbreakable, it just means that iOS has currently the highest cost and complexity of vulnerability exploitation and here's where the Million Dollar iOS 9 Bug Bounty comes into play."
Sooooooooooo…they want to make that upfront spend worth the bad guys' while, in other words.
Well, yes and no. Zerodium was founded this past summer by Chaouki Bekrar, a well-known merchant of zero-day exploits formerly with Vupen. Like Vupen, Zerodium never reveals the vulns and associated exploits to the affected companies (Apple, in this case), and, instead, sells them to the highest bidder, with the expectation that they will be used. How they will be used is none of Zerodium's concern; this is a purely mercenary business. A bit like shadowy NGOs and stateless entities dealing next-gen warheads to SPECTRE.
That said, the buyer could be on the right side of the fence; which could account for the lack of overt concern on the part of law enforcement and governments when it comes to this.
"All acquired security research is made available to our customers, which include both government organizations and Fortune 500 customers :-)," Bekrar told Fortune via email. "We cannot discuss financial information."
Personally, I like to think that there's a spy showdown going on behind the scenes, being played out in the corridors of cyberspace rather than in more traditional settings; say, grand hotels in Budapest, poker rooms in Monte Carlo, or on the slopes of the Matterhorn.
So far, Zerodium has brokered a slew of zero-days, mostly affecting web browsers like Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox for Windows, and Android. Bekrar said that it pays between $400,000 to $600,000 per month for vulnerability acquisitions, indicating a booming market.
Obviously, once out in the field, it's impossible to prevent the malicious code from falling into the hands of oppressive regimes or hacking collectives looking to wreak havoc against good-guy interests. Consider Stuxnet, the worm developed by the US and Israel to attack Iran's nuclear infrastructure; not too long after that successful campaign, Stuxnet and its derivatives showed up in attacks against our allies in the oil and gas industry.

[The Audiofiles] Lightning in a Bottle Brings the Noise with Official Lineup
Fresh off the heals of their epic lineup celebrating a decade of live entertainment at the Coachella Music and Arts Festival, The Do Lab – the seminal and ever evolving production team out of Los Angeles California, just keeps the hits coming with yet another epic festival announcement: the lineup for Lightning in a Bottle (aka, my favorite festival ever). From Amon Tobin to Kraak & Smaak, Thomas Jack to Desert Dwellers, Kaytranaa to What So Not – the weekend offers a little bit of something for everyone, especially those who distance themselves from the monotony of mainstream EDM. In a page from the book of Sea of Dreams, you'll still find various remenants of mainstream indie acts like Moby, Little Dragon, Phantogram – but that just leaves more dancing room for the rest of us at the other stages! The majority of the lineup is, and has always been, creative and cultured underground music scene – and that's precisely what the Do Lab is known for. Take a gander at the playlist they threw together and feast your ears on these delightful beats:
When it comes to music festivals, seeing is believing – and if you're never been to Lightning in a Bottle before, each and every one of your senses is in for a delectable treat. These videos chronicle last year's festival out at Lake Skinner in Temecula, California. This year's festival promises to be bolder and brighter as the event migrates from its home in Southern California to the hills of Bradley, a location equidistant from the overflowing West Coast Music communities in Los Angeles and San Francisco (and you, too, San Diego; don't think we've forgotten about you). The new location boasts more land, and swim-able water; a perk for those of us last year that spent too much time seeking shade in that hot, Summer sun.
[The Audiofiles] Lightning In A Bottle Is Cruising to Central Cali
Of all the magical experiences that 2013 had to offer, hands down – my weekend away at Lightning in a Bottle was hands down the best five days of the year. From the creatively costumed concert go-ers to dance and yoga workshops, right on down to the live musical acts, live art and live entertainment – Lightning in a Bottle expertly tantalizes each and every one of the senses and left me both searching and yearning for more out of myself, my life and the community I surround myself with.
Between last year's fiasco with the outlying community of Riverside County and a desire to please their loyal fans up and down the coast of California, The Do Lab knew that they had to switch something up about the location. When the festival was still in it's early years, it was held in the Santa Barbara mountains and over the last four years has been bouncing between locations around Southern California. The weekend deserved a location as unique as the culture it emanates, and with it's new location in the Central Coast – that's exactly what it's getting. This year, Lightning in a Bottle is migrating up to the San Antonio Recreation Area in Monterey County and I couldn't be more excited. Not only is it equidistant from the amazing music communities in San Francisco and Los Angeles, but the new venue boasts more space than at the Live Oak Campground in Santa Barbara and the Lake Skinner Recreation Area in Temecula. To boot, rain permitting we'll be able to frolic in the lakes of the recreation area in the sweet heat of Memorial Day weekend; a stark contrast from last year when my friends and I got to tell folks to 'Nama-stay off the lake!' while trying to stay out of the immense Summer sun.
During the day, your mind is opened in so many directions with the plethora of enigmatic speakers and workshops. They're on everything from urban foraging, sustainability, sexuality, your infinite potential, inter-species communication and much, much more. last year, speakers for the weekend included visionaries like Alex and Allison Grey, John Perkins and the author of one of my favorite books 'Breaking Open The Head' Daniel Pinchbeck; workshops ranged from ritual movement, hooping, sacred dance and slacklining. Scattered throughout the festival grounds are amazing, living works of art that evolve with the weekend with phenomenal artists from across the country and some of the most fun I had was routinely stopping by my favorites to see how they're coming along.
As the sun starts going down, the beats begin to pick up and the community truly comes alive – spinning fire, gathering to admire live art and dancing to the infectious, underground sounds that are throbbing through the epic sound systems of the three main stages (the Woogie, Bamboo and Lightning) or one of two smaller stages at the Lumi Lounge and the Temple. Each stage boasted a different assortment of acts, community and culture – at the Bamboo stage, you could get your grime on with gLAdiator, Griz, Kastle, Andreniline and the mud people (like, really though), the Lightning stage held the more theatrical productions like Emancipator and Nicolas Jaar and last but certainly not least, the Woogie got you to boogie with deep house DJs like Lee Burridge, Pumpkin and Marques Wyatt.
I went to Lightning in a Bottle with an open mind and no expectations; what I left with was an enhanced world view, self confidence and an amazing support system of friends new and old.
With a little something for everyone, this is an experience that I truly want all of my friends to be part of. Tickets for this amazing five day experience go on 24 hour discounted sale on 2/18, and on 2/19 they'll go on sale for full value. Make sure to get yours quickly, this is one weekend not to be missed!

The elimination of the uptick rule in June 2007 obviously made enduring the bear market much more difficult for public investors. The "piling on" by professional traders, made it much more difficult for investors long a stock that is downtrending to get out of the stock in a reasonable manner. While anyone who actually owns a stock should be free to sell it at any time, downward pressure from those who do not own a stock should be controlled. The public interest has definitely not been enhanced by elimination of the rule and it should be reinstated.


In what was once the main market – indeed for many years the only market – hardwood chip exports to Japan were 5.4% higher priced, reaching USDFob140.63/bdmt, on 226.9 kbdmt. The spread between the average prices in China and Japan was 11.5%.
As the chart above shows, Australia's exports of hardwood chips continue apace, but exports of softwood chips are declining. They totalled just 19.0 kbdmt in September, with quarterly volumes recorded at 148.8 kbdmt, a modest 2.7% higher than the prior quarter.
The average price of softwood chip exports in September (there was only one shipment) was USDFob150.79/bdmt.
Tightness in Australia's softwood fibre markets has been such that we have anticipated for some time that exports would begin to decline. There have been significant attempts across the Australian industry to ensure the best quality resource is retained and used domestically, where that is viable. We consider it feasible that exports could decline from an annualized approximate 700.0 kbdmt to less than 400.0 kbdmt in the immediate future.
Returning to hardwood chips, the chart demonstrates that as it has clearly become on price, China is now the market leader on volumes of Australian supply. Over the year-ended September, total shipments are up 8.2% on the prior year, totalling a mammoth 6.568 million bdmt, closing in on around 13 million green metric tonnes of wood.
Exports to China accounted for a little more than 61% of the total, rising 8.0% over the year and amounting to 4.037 million bdmt for the year. Once the market leader, exports to Japan accounted for almost 33% of the total, rising 12.8% to 2.162 million bdmt over the year-ended September.
The first shipments to Indonesia were recorded in the September data. This was supply for Asia Pulp & Paper's giant pulp mill at Oki at the Southern end of Sumatra. The shipment, from Burnie in Tasmania, was 42.3 kbdmt, reportedly at an average price of USDFob193.81/bdmt. That price seems appropriate for a new trade entering into a market where suppliers have the clear advantage.
Hardwood chip trade is a narrow business. There have been no shipments to India in the last year and Taiwan received 397.4 kbdmt from Australia, up 10.1% on the prior year.
Little wonder the diversification opportunity of the trade with Indonesia has been well received in the market.

NOW: Oprah Winfrey gives $75K to SaintA nonprofit in Milwaukee
Updated: 10:39 p.m. on May 20, 2020
MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Oprah Winfrey is pitching in to help a local organization in Milwaukee.
The media mogul is donating $75,000 to SaintA, a group impacted by the pandemic that helps victims of trauma.
The organization will be using the money to provide online mental health services to people who are sheltering at home.
Oprah did a 60 Minutes report on SaintA back in 2018 and reached out to the nonprofit once the pandemic hit.
"We had identified that there were a number of people in our care who did not have the ability, the technology or the internet access to stay connected to us and we highlighted that as a concern to her, and she was very interested," said Ann Leinfelder Grove, President and CEO of SaintA.
As a child, Oprah and her mother lived in Milwaukee for a few years before moving to Nashville.
She has pledged to give $10 million to coronavirus relief efforts.

She announced Wednesday that her Oprah Winfrey Charitable Foundation will donate money to organizations dedicated to helping underserved communities in Chicago; Baltimore; Nashville, Tennessee; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Kosciusko, Mississippi, where she was born. In an interview with The Associated Press,
Winfrey encouraged people of means to step up and give money to those in need. Winfrey said she's been homebound since March 11.
That was four days after she wrapped her nine-city wellness tour.
