The video blogger has now been in prison for six months for refusing to turn over his tapes.
Josh Wolf holds an unfortunate record. As of today, the video blogger has clocked 183 days in federal prison, the longest period that any U.S. journalist has been jailed in modern times for refusing to testify about his sources. Of course, the distinction assumes the 24-year-old Wolf is indeed a journalist, and not everyone is willing to call him that.
A few days after the protest, Wolf was visited at his apartment by an FBI agent. The agent wanted to know if Wolf had witnessed protesters vandalizing a police car and striking a police officer, who had been hospitalized that night with a fractured skull. He asked to see Wolf's videotape, but Wolf was reluctant to hand it over. Wolf said he'd never filmed the attack—he later released footage indicating he'd been taping elsewhere during the assault—and he didn't want to show authorities what he believed was privileged information he'd gathered as a journalist.
In February, 2006 the FBI subpoenaed the tape. When Wolf refused to provide it, he was incarcerated on contempt charges in a Dublin, California, federal prison.
Mother Jones spoke with Wolf on February 9.
Mother Jones: Could you describe the room you're in right now?
Josh Wolf: Right now I am in the jail administrator's secretary's office, but he doesn't have a secretary anymore. I'm sitting at a desk in front of a computer in a traditional sort of office environment at the moment. I've been staying in what is probably about a 12×10 foot cell. There is a small window, two bunks, we get two bins where we store our stuff, and there's four hooks. Additionally legal bins are available for storing legal material.
MJ: How are you holding up?
JW: I'm holding up pretty good. Obviously there's numerous blows to my psyche throughout the experience. Reading the U.S. Attorney's opposition to my motion (for release from prison) was a bit flabbergasting—the sort of venom that he spewed just kind of blew me away.
MJ: What in particular bothered you?
JW: In the opposition to the motion, he stated: "More time in prison may help (Wolf) realize that it is impossible to reconcile his imagination that he is a journalist somehow protecting contacts." And I think it is a very frightening omen that we have the U.S. Justice Department—the prosecutorial arm of the government—trying to make the decision as to who is and isn't a journalist. And that's the first sign of state sanctioned journalism, which is completely against what is meant by the concept of a free press guaranteed under the First Amendment of the Constitution.
JW: Clearly, if Jefferson felt this way, I don't think he would like the face of what journalism has become. And also I don't think that he would like the over-regimented government that we have. That statement clearly indicates, along with his line, "The best government is the government that governs the least," that bureaucracy and government and overzealous prosecution does not fit in with the original view of America that prompted the Declaration of Independence.
MJ: It's generally accepted that the video you made doesn't include footage of people striking police officers or damaging the squad car, so why do you think it's important that you refuse to hand it over?
JW: It's important to realize that the subpoena is not only for my tape, but also for my testimony. And if you've read the U.S. opposition for the motion for release, which was filed on I believe January 29th of this year, it points out that we did approach the U.S. Attorney at one point in time with the possibility of making a compromise: I turn over the tape and then they excuse me from having to answer any questions. He refused, and then he also brought that in as a reason to show that the coercion was working.
I feel that I shouldn't have to act as an investigator for the government and identify individuals who are my contacts in this particular political movement. To force a journalist to act as a sort of detective identifying civil dissidents is clearly a position that nobody wants to be in, and clearly would cause all sorts of problems with future contacts and trust and all that sort of thing.
MJ: It would have a silencing effect.
JW: It would have a chilling effect, but more than that…if you read their motion, you will see that they do not deny at all that they are seeking me to identify the participants of the demonstration, who likely are involved in nothing more than having political beliefs outside of the American norm.
MJ: Your case has caused intense debates over whether bloggers are journalists, and thus deserve immunity from subpoenas. The main argument against your position is that the barrier to becoming a blogger is low. Tony Soprano could set up a blog and then claim his partners in crime are journalistic sources. What is your response to this?
JW: Jeff Jarvis (of the blog BuzzMachine) said that. That's an interesting one. My view is that if Tony Soprano were to start documenting his exploits and say his partners in crime were sources, then he'd be a participant of the actual crime involved, which would probably violate any sort of protection overcoming the balancing test that should be employed.
But if you have a blog about your cat, and one day your cat starts to get sick and you think it's from the new pet food you changed to, and you start looking at the pet food and realize it's laced with arsenic, and you eventually make contact with someone at the pet store who explains how it happened or something but they want to go off-record on that– well, you've just become a journalist: You may have not been planning on it, you may have been planning on just talking about Fido, but suddenly you're now engaged in investigative journalism, and that should be protected. I think that it's not a question of being in a class of 'journalist,' so much it is that these activities are legitimate journalistic activities and should be protected.
MJ: I understand New York Times reporter Judith Miller, who was also briefly thrown in jail for refusing to reveal sources, has interviewed you in prison a couple of times. What do you think of her?
JW: I wasn't following her situation carefully enough, nor had I read the New York Times when she was employed there, to make an accurate, honest assumption of what I think of her as a journalist. I've read various critiques—critiques is putting it lightly—of her coverage—that she was just a stenographer leading up to the Iraq war—from sources that I do trust; however, I don't have the access to actually reread those articles and form an opinion about her as a journalist.
MJ: The press has obviously given major coverage to Miller and to San Francisco Chronicle reporters Lance Williams and Mark Fainaru-Wada, who face jail time for refusing to reveal the source of leaked grand jury testimony from the Barry Bonds steroids investigation. Do you see a double standard in the way the press has covered you?
JW: I certainly see a double standard in regards to the television media, although even that is difficult for me to gauge, because I am in a media vacuum here.
It seems like the Chronicle has done a pretty good job of covering my situation. Where I see a very, very disturbing disparity between myself and the Chronicle is that within about two weeks of each other we were both ruled in contempt by the United States Northern California District Court. Since then, I've been in jail, and since then, they've been free, and that clearly shows that there has been a sort of prejudicial treatment of me vs. them.
MJ: Why do you think that is?
JW: We could say that it has been a difference of judges, or it could simply be an issue of, "They are the corporate media, they are the Hearst Corporation, we don't want to throw them in jail without being very careful about what we are doing, if at all." That could be part of it. It could be that they wanted some sacrificial lamb, and I got to be it. It's hard to determine exactly why it is, so much as it's easy to see that there is a difference.
MJ: A few weeks ago House Speaker Nancy Pelosi petitioned the Justice Department to rescind the subpoenas against Williams and Fainaru-Wada, but didn't mention you. Has her staff ever told you why?
JW: I know that when some friends of mine went to Washington, D.C. a couple of weeks ago, they spoke to Pelosi's Washtington, D.C. staff, who said that they were unaware of my plight completely. Which is interesting because I know that there were at least 500 to 1000 phone calls to her San Francisco office over a matter of a couple of weeks when we were trying to drive that up. So it seems weird that there's such a lack of communication around this issue and yet they get so many calls from their constituents about it.
MJ: Your mom told me you've made some famous friends in the Dublin prison, among them Barry Bonds' trainer Greg Anderson. What can you tell us about him?
JW: He's a nice guy and doesn't eat meat, which is a little surprising in that he's a fitness person and generally they are like, 'Lots and lots of meat, and lots of protein.' Very quiet.
MJ: Describe some of the more interesting letters that you've gotten.
I've also gotten a lot of letters that are just like, you know, "This is exactly what we need, this is a wonderful counterpoint to the Judith Miller situation, which was simply protecting the administration itself." I've gotten probably 300 to 400 letters at this point. All of them have been positive, for the most part.
MJ: I'm sure you've had plenty of time to mull things over in the past six months. Have you had any particular insights?
JW: I've had an insight that basically the justice department functions with a cold, calculating approach that doesn't take into account that basically they are locking up human beings who all have unique situations that need to be handled in a unique manner. I think that that's very disturbing. I've had the realization that the hardest part about being imprisoned is not being in prison but being disconnected from the world in ways that are generally unhealthy—there's no communication both in or out–people are being taken away from their children, and the children are in prison for losing their dads far more than the father is imprisoned from being in prison.
MJ: What keeps you going in there?
JW: Knowing that they can't hold me longer than 18 months, and the many letters of support and encouragement I receive from all over the world.
MJ: What do you want to do when you get out? Do you have any job offers yet?
JW: I haven't received any direct offers while I've been in. There was an internet TV station that was wanting me to contact them as soon as I got out the first time about possibly having a show. I might be possibly trying to pursue going to journalism school in order to get a better grasp and a more comprehensive understanding of the history of journalism, and how bloggers and advocacy journalists fit into this whole mold. Because, the way I see it, journalists back when the country was founded, like Thomas Paine, were anything but fair and balanced. Lou Dobbs is anything but fair and balanced; these are clearly advocates. And where does all of this stuff fit together? How do we make sense of the new face of journalism?

Q: How to place a couple of textviews, icons above bottomsheet with recyclerview and move along with bottomsheet? Hi I am working in AOD (Audio On Demand)/Audio streaming platform in android. I am new to this platform. I  am struggling with a part of a design thing. I have searched a lot and ended with no answer. Below given is the design I have to work.

As you can see in this design, there is an image background with gradient and there is a play lyrics button on top of it and below there is a couple of text views and icons and playback control options(pause, previous,next icons) below that there is an seek bar (redline) attached to bottom sheet and bottom sheet contains recyclerview. Bottom view is initially in top position not in bottom.

As you can see in above image, If user clicks the play lyrics button, the bottomsheet is moved to bottom along with those textview and playback control options. And have to show lyrics above the textview. How to achieve this? I have searched a lot but I don't see anything like this. Thanks in advance.

A: To my knowledge, the easiest way of doing this is using MotionLayout.
With it, you can set start and end layouts, and simply start the animation between the two when user clicks on play button.
For more information on MotionLayout, visit official guide, where you can find extensive documentation, examples, and also additional links (including to a codelab) at the bottom of the page.

A: I suggest you this article "Android: Anchoring Views to Bottom Sheet" von Emrullah Lüleci https://link.medium.com/nhE8WEgcZ7

Lord knows I love me some Leo Kalyan and in true Leo style he drops a track then disappears to make more magic. This month he returned in the form of a feature on a track from another Buzzinunlimited favourite, XO, titled Pulling Me Under. These two combined of course smashed it but now he's back on his own with new track Stranger with added production from Shift Key. Love it!

Q: Using System.Windows.Forms classes in a .net core 3.0 preview9 project How can we use classes like Screen in a .NET Core 3.0 WPF project? There are documentation pages for .NET Core 3.0 for them, so I assumed it should work.
VS and the compiler tell me that the namespace Forms does not exist in System.Windows, so it feels like the classes are not in the 3.0 sdk.
There is no System.Windows.Forms package on nuget, and the "Add reference" dialog has only a System_Windows_Forms reference to the .net framework available, which sounds horribly wrong:

Am I missing something?

A: You should add <UseWindowsForms>true</UseWindowsForms> in your csproj.
<PropertyGroup>
    <OutputType>WinExe</OutputType>
    <TargetFramework>netcoreapp3.0</TargetFramework>
    <UseWpf>true</UseWpf>

Would Australia benefit from the Haldane Principle?
Muriel E Swijghuisen Reigersberg is Researcher Development Manager (Strategy) at the University of Sydney.
This year the Haldane Principle celebrates its 100th anniversary in the UK. Its key underlying concept is that decisions on individual research proposals are best taken by researchers themselves through peer review and that ministers restrict themselves to setting the high-level agendas. Having moved to Australia two years ago from the UK higher education sector, I now miss Haldane. Dearly.
Initially, the furore surrounding a ministerial intervention into the Australian Research Council's (ARC) research grants allocation elicited my outrage. Two of the arts and humanities grants vetoed by the minister were music related. 'What of academic freedom?' cried the ethnomusicologist in me. 'The arts and humanities are valuable areas of research for creative and cultural industries and human wellbeing', I shouted. 'Censorship and dictatorship should be banished. How can one minister decide what is in the national interest?' I raged.
Then I calmed down a bit. I thought about the fact that according to legislation the minister is perfectly entitled to do this. It's legal. And there's no Haldane Principle in Australia.
So why am I so infuriated? Like other academic colleagues, it was the unadulterated politicisation and baiting of academics to win popular votes that got my goat. It was also the absence of transparent debate and respectful communication between the minister and the academic community which incurred my wrath.
While some might find the Australian forthrightness in politics refreshing and champion the telling-it-like-it-is, tough-love approach, when it comes matters of national interest one would hope politicians have the leadership skills to appreciate that consultation and following due process are desirable. On that front the academic community was left rather wanting.
Perhaps that is what I miss about Haldane: the ability to contest and debate, in an evidenced and at least relatively civilised manner, the merit of academic contributions to knowledge and national priorities. For let's be clear, Haldane has its drawbacks too and comes at a price: additional bureaucracy. UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) provide the buffer against ministerial meddling, but as an organisation UKRI must ensure academic stakeholders evidence national benefit to keep minsters happy. Ministerial happiness ensures a stable national research budget.
In my time as a research grants manager in the UK, I saw the introduction of various reporting requirements designed to evidence claims of public benefit and research impact (read (inter) national interest). These included two-page pathways to impact statements, data management plans, the introduction of research output reporting via ResearchFish, open access mandates as well as the inclusion of impact and engagement into the Research Excellence Framework (REF).
Now don't get me wrong. I am all for public benefit and am an impact enthusiast. I approve of transparency in spending and am a staunch open access supporter. We have a duty to evidence benefit where we can. However, the increase in administrative reporting in the UK at least, is not automatically matched by additional monetary support via REF income or a full economic costing uplift to help accommodate the additional professional staff, training and infrastructural resources required to do said reporting. The price to pay for academic autonomy and Haldane is perhaps this: increased reporting and additional associated costs, time and in some cases stress.
Compare that to Australia. The REF-equivalent Excellence Research Australia (ERA) is not the mammoth, highly politicised data gathering exercise that the REF has become and is not currently tied to research income. Impact and engagement are new kids on the block and not tied to research income either, yet. Grants, although focused on national interests and rigorously assessed, currently lack the numerous attachments required in the UK. Post-award reporting and audit are minimal in comparison to the UK and open access is only lightly monitored and reported on. A breeze, one might say. What is a bit of occasional ministerial provocation if it means reduced administrative loads?
I also wonder whether, in the Australian straight-talking, telling-it-like-it-is climate, legislation like Haldane would ever gain a foothold? Signs of additional evidencing requirements are taking the form of the national interest statement and impact and engagement while the benefit of academic autonomy provided by Haldane remains conspicuously absent. Could – or should – the reporting price be used as a bargaining tool to batter for an Australian version of Haldane? Which do I prefer?
On balance, for ethical reasons, academic freedom and because I believe all kinds of knowledge to be valuable, I would opt for Haldane and the reporting burden. If this could be complemented by additional monetary, infrastructural and training support to facilitate the reporting even better. The icing on the cake would be some balanced, professional ministerial leadership. But let's not get too optimistic, shall we?


Discussion in 'Single Player Forum' started by smilts, Oct 7, 2006.
Did you try it with zealer? That will not be easy.
Unique chance is the same in all difficulties and it's the same as for random bosses and most of other classic superuniques.
Running him in NM/normal is the waste of time (unless you doing it for EXP), because there are much better sources for all he can drop (Mephisto).
really Im not running it for the drops or exp mostly just cause Im bored with most everything else I have run it with zealers before though always on b.net so maybe it wont work with the items I have available.
My first mf char ever was a zealer that I ran meph with when I first started online. After I get done doing the pindle thing he will be my meph runner also.
1) In normal, you can easily get to lvl ~40+ by running Eldritch (he's quicker and safer than Pindle). Also, if you can safely tackle Baal and his minions, he'll be a much better source of experience over time than Pindle - you can hit lvl ~50 pretty easily before entering NM.
2) In NM, hit Eldritch again until about lvl 67-68, and then do Pindle until 71-72. Once again, Eldritch is quicker and safer than Pindle, and typically you gain more experience over time by running him (because Eldritch's mlvl is lower though, Pindle does better after 68). Baal runs have a very good exp. until about lvl 77-78, and if you're patient you can push to ~80+ there too.
Also i dont know if you got a higher char or not, but if your going to do that many pindle runs, why not try the Pindlethon 3. That would be 1000 less runs and help give you incentive to keep going. But if you really only want to do it because your bored, then go for it, it definately wont hurt.

File Name: 10 facts about macbeth by william shakespeare.zip
Macbeth Summary
Macbeth is one of Shakespeare's very best plays. As we discuss in our feast of interesting William Shakespeare facts, the phrase 'to steal.
Biography Newsletter
Macbeth facts give you the interesting facts about the famous book by Shakespeare. Many people like to read this famous book. Actually Macbeth was a king in real life. He passed away on 15th August It was 17 years after he wounded at the battle of Lumphanan and after he became a king.
Of all the plays that Shakespeare wrote during the reign of James I , who was patron of Shakespeare's acting company , Macbeth most clearly reflects the playwright's relationship with his sovereign. A brave Scottish general named Macbeth receives a prophecy from a trio of witches that one day he will become King of Scotland. Consumed by ambition and spurred to action by his wife, Macbeth murders King Duncan and takes the Scottish throne for himself. He is then wracked with guilt and paranoia. Forced to commit more and more murders to protect himself from enmity and suspicion, he soon becomes a tyrannical ruler. The bloodbath and consequent civil war swiftly take Macbeth and Lady Macbeth into the realms of madness and death. Shakespeare's source for the story is the account of Macbeth, King of Scotland , Macduff , and Duncan in Holinshed's Chronicles , a history of England, Scotland, and Ireland familiar to Shakespeare and his contemporaries, although the events in the play differ extensively from the history of the real Macbeth.
Macbeth , tragedy in five acts by William Shakespeare , written sometime in �07 and published in the First Folio of from a playbook or a transcript of one. Some portions of the original text are corrupted or missing from the published edition. Macbeth and Banquo , who are generals serving King Duncan of Scotland , meet the Weird Sisters , three witches who prophesy that Macbeth will become thane of Cawdor , then king, and that Banquo will beget kings. Soon thereafter Macbeth discovers that he has indeed been made thane of Cawdor, which leads him to believe the rest of the prophecy. When King Duncan chooses this moment to honour Macbeth by visiting his castle of Dunsinane at Inverness , both Macbeth and his ambitious wife realize that the moment has arrived for them to carry out a plan of regicide that they have long contemplated. Spurred by his wife, Macbeth kills Duncan, and the murder is discovered when Macduff , the thane of Fife , arrives to call on the king. Their speedy departure seems to implicate them in the crime, and Macbeth becomes king.
THE real-life Macbeth, on whom Shakespeare's play is based, became King of Scotland after killing By William Hartston Verdi's opera Macbeth has not just three witches but a whole chorus of at least two dozen.

Video SparkNotes: Shakespeare's Macbeth summary
For centuries, the clans had been waging war on each other. Viking warriors had been raiding the coasts of Scotland. Malcolm was therefore able to unite the Four Kingdoms of Scotland under one throne. Scotland in the early 11th century had finally become a single nation. Duncan became King of Scotland upon the death of Malcolm in
Shakespeare's murderous monarch and scheming wife will be seen on screen once again on 2 October, played by Michael Fassbender and Marion Cotillard. To tide you over, here are 15 things you probably didn't know about one of the Bard's most famous tragedies. Yes, Macbeth was loosely based on a real person, but Shakespeare took inspiration from a number of other sources to pen Macbeth as well. Raphael Holinshed's Holinshed Chronicles , which featured detailed accounts of Scottish history and mythology became a primary source. Michael Fassbender will be the fourth X-Men actor to play the role of Macbeth when the big budget adaptation opens in cinemas next year.

Going back to school after a three month summer vacation, coming back to work on a Monday after a three day weekend, remembering how to ice skate after skipping out on a year of practice; not only do I think coming back to a reality that has been long forgotten is difficult, it's not fun either. I can't imagine the tremendous difficulty that seems almost inevitable when coming back from months, maybe years, away to restart an unfamiliar, distant relative of a life. Needless to say, this immense hurdle must be overcome regardless of adversity, and there are a couple ways we can make this happen.
Option #1- Go directly into the work force.
Although it is definitely a challenge for veterans to go directly into the work force, it is not uncommon. Just like some career paths are more likely to choose undergraduate students from college, others are more apt to select veterans of military service. In 2009, Obama signed an executive order establishing the Veterans Employment Initiative that helps veterans couple and translate their developed skills from the military to careers. Thus, the government is generally more open to providing federally funded careers to veterans. A list of available jobs, training and helpful information can be found here. There are also websites that allow for veterans to post their resumes, and look for jobs, as well as employers who are actively searching for individuals with the skill set that is inherent in veterans to post available job listings.
Option #2- Go to an upper level educational institution.
According to US News, these are the top-ranked schools in the 2015 Best Colleges rankings that participate in federal initiatives helping veterans and active-duty service members apply for, pay for and complete their degrees. In addition to applying through the normal application system, some programs exist to aid the process. For example, the Posse Foundation. The Posse Foundation provides support before entering into college and also during the time in school. They send cohorts of ten students to prestigious four year institutions who each are granted full-tuition, merit based scholarships. This means, that regardless of current financial standing or government funding, by being a veteran, one may qualify to apply for funding and may be selected if they prove high academic and leadership potential. This program is quite young, having developed a partnership with Vassar College, Wesleyan University, and most recently Dartmouth College. They plan to extend to 12 partner institutions within the next five years.
Option #3- Ask for assistance.
Getting a job and/or further schooling often requires skills that extend beyond the skill set acquired in military service. Resume building, interview preparation, career coaching, can be provided by Andrew K, who provides free individual support and services to veterans as a career development specialist. In addition to career development specialists like Andrew K, the government provides many systems of funding to which veterans can apply. The Servicemen's Readjustment Act (also known as the G.I. Bill) provides benefits such as a lower mortgage costs, funding to attend school, low interest loans to start a business, and one year of unemployment compensation. The Yellow Ribbon Program allows veterans to apply for extra educational funding for more expensive private schooling. The Homeless Veterans Reintegration Program (HVRP) "assists homeless veterans as well as providing critical linkages for a variety of supportive services available in their local communities." Although readjusting to civilian life from military life can be difficult, the list of programs and support in the form of funding or individual case basis help is extensive and prevalent for veterans to take advantage.

Inauguration Cancelled, President Trump Remains In Office:
ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, CNN, MSNBC to Lose Licenses.
Joe Biden's Inauguration has been cancelled, President Trump would remain in office and the Chinese Communist Party propaganda media outlets of ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News, CNN and MSNBC would soon be off the airwaves according to President Trump.
"I have invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807 (Section 10 U.S. Code 13 251-255) to address the treasonous rebellion conducted by Democrat and Republican lawmakers, CCP Agents (Chinese Communist Party), FBI, Department of Justice, CIA and others to dismantle the United States of America and it's Constitution," President Trump declared on Thursday 14 Jan. "These entities pose a direct threat to national security. I will remain President indefinitely until all domestic enemies are arrested."
President Trump invoked the Insurrection Act after another assassination attempt on him last Sat. morning 9 Jan. According to his Intel, Chinese Communist Party Agents, the FBI, Department of Justice, CIA and others of the Deep State have – with the help of the Main Stream Media – long been planning to dismantle the US and it's Constitution.
Of course, none of these treasonous acts have been reported by the corrupt Main Stream Media. Trump had evidence that the MSM was "embedded with CIA and Chinese Communist Party agents whose sole purpose was to direct public opinion toward a Deep State agenda."
During President Trump's four years in office he and what has been referred to as the Alliance have been fighting this Cabal – a Satan worshipping force composed of thirteen Satanist Bloodline families out of Italy, the Vatican, UK Monarchy, British M16, Chinese Communist Party, CIA, FBI, Department of Justice, Antifa, Black Lives Matter and certain Republican and Democratic Lawmakers. Another attempt on his life was the last straw.
Since that Sat. 9 Jan. the US has been under an abbreviated Martial Law with President Trump as Commander in Chief and General Flynn in charge of the Military. As such Trump has signed multiple Executive Orders that among other powers, allowed for Military arrests and Tribunals.
Soon to be acted upon were well over 222,286 sealed indictments against political and global elites filed in federal courts across the nation.
By law with the Insurrection Act in effect, Trump would remain President indefinitely until all domestic enemies were arrested. He would soon take down the Main Stream Media.
"I'm drafting an Executive Order to take the following propaganda media outlets off the airwaves: ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox News, CNN and MSNBC. I am also working with the FCC to pull their licenses. We have evidence that all of these media organizations employ agents of the Chinese Communist Party as well as embedded CIA Agents whose sole purpose is to brainwash, hypnotize and direct public opinion toward certain agendas that support the Left and Deep State. These organizations are a threat to national security and virtually nothing they report is actual news."
It's no small task to take down the Cabal. Military and Special Forces units have been deploying all over the US in 400+ cities. Right now there were over 15,000 troops in DC according to Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy. Special Forces units have covertly infiltrated Antifa and Black Lives Matter and made silent covert arrests.
DC: Incoming National Guard with be armed with lethal force VIDEO
That same Sat. 9 Jan. POTUS and the Department of Defense postponed the 20 Jan. Presidential Inauguration. Intel sources claimed that if Joe Biden was not inaugurated there were corrupt-FBI plans to help stage Antifa and BLM violence in DC and at the 50 state capitols from Sat 16 Jan. through Wed. 20 Jan. Biden couldn't be inaugurated anyway because of the Insurrection Act that demanded Trump remain in office "until all domestic enemies were arrested."
[My note: Biden is also under indictment in Ukraine]
A corrupt Mass Media has refused to report anything but their Left Wing agenda believed paid for by the CCP. Thus, the President has announced he would soon activate the Emergency Broadcast System (EBS). This was expected during what has been referred to as Ten Days of Darkness, or media outage.
With the EBS everyone would get alerts on their phones, TV, radio and Internet that would override other broadcasts for several hours at a time. The broadcasts would explain the silent war happening across the globe between the Cabal and Alliance.
This week Trump Intel providers Robert David Steele and Juan OSavin explained, "This may not be settled until April 1. Anyone including Fox, who refuses to broadcast the President of the US faces loss of their FCC licenses as well as criminal punitive actions, perhaps a military takeover."
On Wed. 13 Jan. in an urgent message to the American people President Trump called for peace. Intel sources were reporting that riots were planned in DC and across the nation. He condemned the rioters at the state capitol, as well as a recent assault by Social Media on our Freedom of Speech and then activated military forces to quell unrest.
Urgent: President Trump releases VIDEO MESSAGE to people
The recent violation of Social Media platforms to censor Freedom of Speech was of concern. Donald Trump Jr. to the rescue. Trump Jr. announced that a new social media platform was coming soon called the Freedom Social Network.
More important, President Trump had officially shut down the Cabal's USA Inc. and re-started a restored Republic on 4 July 2020. Article source LINK
It was all a part of the Alliance's Plan to free the globe of the Communist Parties /Cabal's suppression of The People. "The Plan To Save The World"

The 'invisible enemy' … we're at WAR! #SilenceIsConsent #DoNotConsent #DoNotComply #StandUp #SpeakUp #StayTheCourse to restore this #Republic across our country in every township.,city, county, & state, from school boards, to city councils, sheriffs, and commissioners. All Districts, all levels, WE the people must stand for our GOD endowed Rights secured by our Constitution Supreme Law. Title 18 U.S.Code section 242 'Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law' is illegal. AG Barr stated, 'Crisis does not suspend civil liberty.' Domestic Enemies have been systematically stripping our rights away one cut at a time, and we've capitulated to everyone of them without resistance to them. We're called the silent majority and its our silence that has brought us to this dire situation in our country. We've been silent as anarchists, communists, marxists, and even foreigners have been demanding and forcing their will on WE, the rightful citizens of the united States of America, a REPUBLIC of, by, and for We the People. Its time to say ENOUGH and let OUR ROAR be heard not across this land but around the world for ALL to HEAR! 'ONE NATION UNDER GOD' with liberty and EQUAL JUSTICE for ALL!

Bill Gates Crimes Against Humanity
VACCINE WARLORD – King of Depopulation and Eugenicists
Started the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI) in 2000 (donated $750 million) a "Vaccine Alliance", who claim to have vaccinated half the world's children(with poisonous vaccines).
Gave 496,000 Indian children polio through his new "polio vaccine", as confirmed by WHO. Gates is now wanted in India for crimes against humanity.
By 2018, 75% of polio cases worldwide were from "Gates Vaccines." Gates introduced the world to a new form of polio that he funded.
In 2014, Gates gave 23,000 Indian girls HPV vaccines – Gardasil and Cervarix from Merck and Glaxo Smith Kline (formerly Burroughs-Wellcome) – 5% had severe side effects, most were permanently sterilized, seven died, and the vaccine was useless against HPV. Gate's staff were prosecuted by the Indian government for forging signatures, coercion, and refusing medical treatment for side effects.
In 2002, Gates forcibly vaccinated South African children against meningitis. Many developed permanent paralysis. The press called Gates "Ruthless and immoral."
In 2010, Gates gave his anti-malaria vaccine to 5,000 African children – 151 died – 1,000 had serious side effects including paralysis and seizures.
In 2014, the WHO chemically sterilized millions of Kenyan women with a "Gates tetanus vaccine" that was poisonous, and later the WHO publicly admitted it.
Created the Strategic Advisory Group of Experts (SAGE) to advise WHO on vaccine and immunization policies, research and development, and delivery systems, This secretive group is chaired by Sir Peter Vallance, ex Glaxo Smith Kline director, a top vaccine warlord.
Gates committed $10 billion to the WHO campaign to reduce the world's populationthrough new vaccines. He bragged that his new Green Program for Africa will depopulate Africa by 10-15%.
Partnered with the Rockefeller Foundation, UNICEF, WHO, World Bank, DFID, DNIH, CDC, WEF, vaccine manufacturers, and others to demand mandatory biometric ID's to track vaccinations world-wide. This is "vaccine war" world-domination.
Has controlled the Department of International Development (DFID) through donations since 2000. This British group demands that countries donated to the Gates Vaccine Wars and it controls media vaccine propaganda to hide the true intention of Vaccine Warlords and make Gates, SAGE, WHO. CDC, NIH and Big Pharma true heroes looking after the safety of people everywhere. DFID is hosting an international vaccine summit in June 2020. Anyone questioning the Bill Gates Vaccine War lockdown narrative will be silenced.
Gave $40 million in 2008 to Professor Chris Witty, Chief Medical Officer of England, and Chief Scientific Adviser for the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), Department for International Development (DFID), and SAGE board member to control British vaccine promulgation. Chris Witty is Gates Vaccine Warlord in England just as Anthony Fauci is Gate's Vaccine Warlord in America.
Started the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness (CEPI) in 2017 to accelerate new vaccine creation and distribution. CEPI gave $8.4 million to Imperial College in 2017 to develop "Vaccine X", a vaccine targeted for every person on the planet.
Donated 200 million to CDC to help develop a COVID-19 vaccine knowing that no such vaccine is possible.
Donated &100 million to Anthony Fauci's efforts to create new vaccines at the National Institute for Health. The NIH donated $3.7 million of that money to the Wu Han Institute of Virology, the only level four bioweapon lab in China where the Chinese doctor (Dr. Qiu) who had breached the Canadian National Microbiology Laboratory had taken the Birtish/Canadian virus bioweapons, developed by Pirbright, Merial, and QinetiQ, to China.
Donated £184 million to Imperial College of London for fake Covid-19 propaganda death predictions, 2.2 million in America and over 1.5 million in England. Gates is looking to COVID-19 to force his third world vaccination programs on the Western world and mandatory vaccine ID implanted in every human being.
A child dies every 30 seconds from starvation, 3 million a year, but that's not good enough for Bill Gates, Continue reading →

The Plan to Save The World
The Plan was put in place shortly after infiltrators murdered JFK long before 'Q' arrived, but Q does play a role to get the masses 'thinking'.
Critical thinking and problem solving was removed from our communist infiltrated higher education, which also, trickled down to lower education until all thought was replaced with 'instruction' & memorization of their mandates, i.e. political correctness, diversity etc. This is well worth the listen and I do believe you will recognize much if not all that is said, especially if you're older than 40.

TruNews July 4 Special – USS Liberty Sneak Preview
This is a must watch! It's extremely disturbing the lies and cover-ups that have taken place in America since the murder of JFK. If our country is to survive we MUST UNWIND all the lies, cover-ups and bring forth the TRUTH of who murdered JFK and who ATTACKED our unarmed USS LIBERTY flying our USA FLAG. This is a sneak preview of a documentary to expose the lies and show the valor of all aboard the USS Liberty and how the survivors were treated.
This is a sneak preview of the full documentary. It tells who the real enemy is both foreign and DOMESTIC. We have several factions of enemies in this country trying to destroy our Constitutional Republic and if the people do not educate themselves to TRUTH our progeny will not have the same freedom most of us elders experienced growing up because our enemies are rapidly closing the gates around us as they've thrown open our border to be invaded.

It is time for truth to be told of what has happened in this country since domestic and foreign enemies killed JFK, then RFK, followed by MLK and many others. World War II did not end it went underground in our country. Listen to this history told by survivors of the USS Liberty. This is part one, part two will be aired tomorrow with 3 more survivors.
There were 38 of our best most trusted spies on the USS Liberty. All were killed. If this information doesn't enrage you check your pulse because if you love your countrymen and women this should completely change your opinion about our 'closest friend'. I was outraged even though I've known since they killed JFK how rogue and treasonous our government has been but Israel's involvement and control is knew, but not surprising.

Professor Nick Golding
Honorary Research Fellow
BSc DPhil
Professor Nick Golding is an infectious disease modeller with a focus on globally-important pathogens. His work combines mathematical and statistical modelling, ecology, and public health. Since completing a PhD on modelling mosquito-borne diseases at the University of Oxford, he has collaborated with epidemiologists from around the world developing models and maps of the risk posed by some of the world's most important and neglected diseases – including malaria, Dengue fever, Chikungunya, and Ebola.
After moving to the University of Melbourne in 2016, Professor Golding has worked closely with ecologists both on modelling methods and on urgent health issues like Melbourne's Buruli ulcer outbreak – where risk to humans depends on the ecology of mosquitos and possums. In 2020 Professor Golding joined the Malaria Atlas Project at Telethon Kids Institute as Director of Malaria Ecology. He is a member of the Australian national modelling team, advising national and state governments on their response to COVID-19 throughout the pandemic.

Modelling to support Australia's COVID-19 response
Modelling temperature-driven changes in species associations across freshwater communities
Due to global climate change–induced shifts in species distributions, estimating changes in community composition through the use of Species Distribution Models has become a key management tool. Being able to determine how species associations change along environmental gradients is likely to be pivotal in exploring the magnitude of future changes in species' distributions.

A fractional land use change model for ecological applications
By mapping land use under projections of socio-economic change, ecological changes can be predicted to inform conservation decision-making. We present a land use model that enables the fine-scale mapping of land use change under future scenarios. Its predictions can be used as input to virtually all existing spatially-explicit ecological models.

Five students from Hertfordshire University – Xiaomeng Shi, Ruoxue Zhang, Wei Zheng, Wenying Wang and Mengnan Sun – formed Baking Booth Business Group in order to complete a business project as part of their course. The group very kindly decided to donate the profits of their project to the Myotubular Trust.
The group decided to sell food and they brought 120 cup cakes and sold them all at the university to very supportive staff and fellow students, resulting in a net profit and donation to the Myotubular Trust of £106.
The group told us that they were delighted that their project was so successful and are that they are hoping to support the Trust again in the future.
We are very grateful to both Business Booth Business Group and to all who supported the project – thank you.

Sam Walton's Genius Advice to a 17-Year Old is Useful to Anyone Who Wants to Succeed
By Sabrina Ochoa | May 25, 2018
In 1986 Sam Walton, founder of Walmart, was the wealthiest man in America with an estimated net worth of $4.5 billion. Although Walton opened his first Wal-Mart store in 1962, he started in the retail business in the mid 1940s, acquiring a Ben Franklin franchise and eventually running 15 stores before striking out on his…


Living in Cebu my whole life, I'm prone to being asked, by friends who plan to visit Cebu, for recommendations of where to eat. It's a question I really find hard to answer because I stopped watching out for the new hip cafes and restaurants, which are endlessly popping up since BPO industry booms here. It's just so hard to catch up with the Joneses.
"So what do you think of La Vie Parisienne?" I'd honestly like to tell them, "There's nothing good there except for their fake cherry blossoms light which is perfect for your #feedgoals," but you could not blurt it out because they so love what they saw of it from instagram posts.
"How about Lantaw restaurant?" I'd honestly like to reply, "It's owned by Pages. You can just pick any Pages-operated restaurant, and they all basically taste the same." But of course, I won't say that. Hey, I support local businesses.
"How about Larsian?" I'd honestly would like to reply, "I think legit Cebuanos stop going there when it's transferred to a decent complex structure." But of course, I won't say that to burst their excited bubble.
That's if you have at least 4 hours of driving / commuting — to and from Cebu City — to spare just to eat a roasted pig.
I think lechon from Talisay is also good, and I don't know where to get them but I have tasted them a lot. Cebu friends also swear that lechon in Jai Alai is gooodddd!!!
To make your travel to Carcar worthwhile, you might as well hoard Chicharon. My favorite Chicharon seller / vendor is this small store that has no name, and it's right beside the Public Market's Toilet area. Choose the chicharon with "tambok" and meat for its extra oommpphhh!
So now that I tackled the top FAQ of travelers to Cebu, let me now try to give you a preview / overview of how to eat like local in Cebu. This is based on a scientific survey of myself.
Who does not love Carenderia food? They're not instagrammy but they're tummy-hits.
1. Ask tips from the taxi drivers. They definitely know all the secret alleys that has the yummy local dishes.
2. Don't forget to ask for "mais" as your rice.
3. Don't forget the Sparkle!
4. My tip is go to schools or Universities. School cafeteria can be so homey, and most of all reliably clean. But no need to really get inside the school, you can go to the nearby carenderias lining beside the school.
You can get a tip from this so #throwback Bisaya song, Humba, where to get that "humba." You can skip to 0:29 of the music video. But I don't think that carenderia still exists today but still you can go to USC-TC for some carenderia foods.
But you have to be very early like 10am early if you want the "ginabot" from the Pungko-pungko near UP Cebu. Pungko-pungko offers a variety of fried (finger)food which is best pair with "puso" (hanging rice. It's a crime to eat it not with "puso.") but I'll only mention "ginabot" in this post because it's my most favorite.
Pungko is to squat or sit low. And so it's called "pungko-pungko" because you have to squat on the streetside to eat. Though, it evolves now. There's a mini complex in Fuente, at the back of Rajah Hotel, that offers Pungko-pungko.
But if you want the old-school "Pungko-pungko" experience, check out "MUKBANG! PUNGKO-PUNGKO SA CEBU FT. EMODODONG" by diva vlogger Maryflor Garcia, and don't forget to subscribe to her youtube channel.
For a last useless tip, my most favorite "ginabot" is from a lady selling across Velez Hospital. There's that one lady there at lunch time with a basket of ginabot.
Another useful tip is from a friend: You can get 24/7 Pungko-pungko just in the outskirt of IT Park, near Alba Uno Hotel.
There are a few more to-go food places in my eatinirary list but this is it for now. Please watch out for my Part 2, or you can go to foursquare or ask the ever reliable google.

These graphs show a teacher's "value-added" rating based on his or her students' progress on the California Standards Tests in math and English. The Times' analysis used all valid student scores available for this teacher from the 2003-04 through 2009-10 academic years. The value-added scores reflect a teacher's effectiveness at raising standardized test scores and, as such, capture only one aspect of a teacher's work.
The red lines show The Times' value-added estimates for this teacher. Dewitt falls within the "more effective than average" category of district teachers in math and within the "more effective than average" category in English. These ratings were calculated based on test scores from 25 students.
Because this is a statistical measure, each score has a degree of uncertainty. The shading represents the range of values within which Dewitt's actual effectiveness score is most likely to fall. The score is most likely to be in the center of the shaded area, near the red line, and less likely in the lightly shaded area. Teachers with ratings based on a small number of student test scores will a have wider shaded range.
The beige area shows how the district's 11,500 elementary school teachers are distributed across the categories.
Years used for value-added rating. See FAQ for details.

Platform as a Service Evolves by Combining Cloud Apps
Widespread use of the Internet of Things (IoT) will drive more cloud computing Platform as a Service (PaaS) adoption. Gartner has forecast that 50 percent of all new applications developed on PaaS will be IoT related by 2020 -- thereby disrupting traditional IT architecture practices.
Gartner analysts believe that IoT adoption will drive additional use of PaaS to implement IoT-centric business applications built around event-driven architecture and IoT data -- instead of business applications built around traditional master data.
Most new solutions will be implemented on a multi-functional PaaS that is a hybrid of application platform as a service (aPaaS), integration platform as a service (iPaaS), IoT device management, orchestration and business process management services as a platform (bpmPaaS), database PaaS (dbPaaS) and analytics services.
Cloud PaaS Market Development Predictions
Through 2018, according to the Gartner assessment, more than 70 percent of IT organizations planning a private PaaS will likely deploy a container service -- rather than PaaS framework software.
An advanced offering will likely provide subscribers with self-service access to container-based IT infrastructure -- which hosts, orchestrates, schedules, scales and ensures the reliability of containers. It may also provide monitoring, load balancing and secure container communications.
"For advanced technical teams a container service may be better than a PaaS framework for the desired balance between developer productivity, breadth of viable application architectures, IT operations control, and the complexity of implementation," said Lydia Leong, vice president at Gartner.
However, through 2018, more than 80 percent of organizations that deploy or assemble self-managed PaaS frameworks will not achieve the expected cloud PaaS experience.
Exploring Demand for Unified Cloud Services
By investing in cloud platforms, IT leaders are seeking the key benefits of cloud computing for their new digital transformation initiatives. But during the next three years, Gartner predicts that many self-managed private PaaS initiatives will fail to meet the organization's expectations.
Gartner believes that tension between the IT forces in favor of private PaaS and those Line of Business leaders demanding the full public cloud experience will intensify as self-managed private cloud disappoints. Managed private (or public) PaaS will therefore emerge as the best practices.
By 2019, a mandatory vendor capability for the top five aPaaS providers will be the delivery of both high-productivity and high-control PaaS options.
Large enterprise organizations will prefer aPaaS suites that can provide integrated high-control and high-productivity capabilities. These service providers will receive preferential treatment in the market -- Gartner says combined capabilities will become a requirement for aPaaS market leadership.

The American robin (Turdus migratorius) is the largest and best-known member of the thrush family in Canada.
Fledgling robin's first day out of the nest (photo by James Marsh).
The female robin incubates 4 bluish-green eggs for 12-13 days and the male assists with the feeding (Corel Professional Photos).
The American robin (Turdus migratorius) is the largest and best-known member of the thrush family in Canada. The term robin also applies to several other thrushes not closely related to the American robin and to birds of other families.
The robin is widely distributed in Canada, the northern limit of its range being the treeling. It is migratory in most parts but may winter or attempt to winter in southern parts of most provinces. It has adapted to humans in inhabited areas and is relatively tame; in remote areas, it avoids them.
The American robin is a graceful, primarily terrestrial bird with a black head, black and white streaks on the throat, grey back, blackish tail and wings, reddish orange breast, and white abdomen. Sexes differ little in size (22-28 cm long). Males are more brightly coloured than females. Young have the same general appearance as adults but, like all thrushes, are heavily marked with conspicuous dark spots on underparts. The American robin is a good singer.
Nests are usually built a few metres from the ground in trees or bushes. The nest is a large structure of grass, twigs and small stems, crudely assembled around a cup of mud lined with finer grasses. The female incubates 4 bluish green eggs for 12-13 days; the male assists with feeding the young. Robins frequently have 2 broods in southern parts of Canadian range. They have many natural enemies, such as birds, snakes, predatory mammals (eg, domestic cats).
Robins feed extensively on insects, insect larvae and earthworms but also consume fruits and berries in season and are considered pests in many areas.

Search for Schools in the 1950s at Zoo.com Now!
The 1950s was an era of great conflict and black segregation was at its utmost. Even though many of the most important achievements happened in the 1950s for African Americans, segregation, and racial acts took place every day.
School clothes and party clothes were completely different from each other. Girls carefully chose outfits each day, coordinating colors and style, making certain all items were in good repair, clean and wrinkle free. Unlike today, where anything goes, back then, dress codes dictated lengths of skirts, pants, and colors and fabrics.
In the 1950s and 60s, rural schools came under pressure. Some of the pressures were the same as those felt by urban schools – but had unique forms in rural areas – and some of the pressures were imposed by the continuing exodus of people from rural areas to urban America.
We visited his old school, along with about 60 other men in their 60s and above. There were also a few other wives. Let me explain why we were there, and the impact of the visit. New Use of School Premises. In the early 1950s, he went to a boys' grammar school. In the UK, this is a state high school for boys aged 11 and over.


As I have said many times before, it is easy to lose faith in the human race on a day to day basis but when you're able to get past the top layer of badness, we're still doing some incredible things. Things like shooting robots to planets and learning that the conditions may exist to support life there and creating machines like the one below that is so fantastically complicated and simple at the same time it is mind boggling to consider. What do we mean? Read on.
The video you are about to watch was made in Holland and it features a couple of guys from a company called Van Damme Drainage. They are using an Inter-Drain GP-Series V-Plow trenchless pipe layer and it is freaking amazing. At first we thought it was a modified excavator but after looking at it more and more it seems like the thing is scratch built to do the job that it is doing here.
As you will see, the two man crew start at the end of the drainage ditch where one guy operates the tractor and the other guy threads some of the drainage hose into the fixture at the bottom of the V-plow/cutter that is the most genius part of the whole program. The depth is set and the tractor drives forward pulling the V-plow into the Earth while it simultaneously lays the pipe under the ground. The big spools on the side of the tractor feed the pipe into the plow and the machine just chugs along laying it down as fast as the driver wants to push it. It lifts the Earth, lays the pipe and sets it back down again in an amazingly clean process. One of the things we really dug about the whole operation was how polished the sides of the V-plow are from being pulled through the ground during previous jobs.
The thought and engineering that went into building this rig really are amazing to consider and the fact it is able to do the job so well is a testament to the people behind its development. 500hp plus some awesome looking hydraulics, the metal cleated tracks, and a mondo steel roller on the back is BangShifty perfection!

Q: OpenCV return all black frames when using USB IP Server I am using a basic USB webcam with OpenCV in python and it works as expected using a simple test script.
import cv2
cap = cv2.VideoCapture(0)
while True:
    ret, frame = cap.read() #capture a frame
    cv2.imshow('frame', frame) #display the frame
    if cv2.waitKey(1) & 0xff == ord('q'): #keep streaming video until the 'q' key is pressed
        break
cap.release()
cv2.destroyAllWindows()

I have also tested functionality using YawCam and the camera works as expected.  However, I am now trying to use a USB over IP server.  In this configuration, I can still stream video using YawCam but OpenCV returns blank frames.  Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might cause this, possible solutions, or tests I should try?
Additional details
I am using the SIIG DS0611 USB IP Server.  This allows me to connect the camera to my LAN at home instead of connecting the camera directly to the USB port on my computer.  This is different from an IP camera in that my computer "thinks" the camera is connected directly to its USB port, so I don't think RTSP will work.  I believe this because the "HD USB Camera" device shows up in my Device Manager under "Cameras" just like it does when I connect the camera directly to my computer's USB port.  However, OpenCV only returns black or mostly black frames with some gibberish pixels when I run my code.  OpenCV is able to connect and does recognize that the camera is opened.  I have also tried adding various delays into the code to allow more time to initialize the camera and to read frames.  Nothing has helped.  YawCam doesn't have any issues so I know the camera/IP server are working well, but I need the camera to work in python.

A: Its due to default OpenCV VideoCapture trying to use memory mapping. It appears local but direct memory mapping calls will not work as the image data is not actually on the client machines memory.
If the V4l2 api is used you can choose various methods to open the camera and it works if the slower methods are used. Memory mapping is usually the fastest so it's the default method OpenCV used to keep people from complaining about speed at the cost of confusing users doing "odd" things like usbip sharing.
Good luck.

How to own a sailing yacht on a budget
For those who think owning a sailing yacht is just for the rich and famous, think again.
Buying a boat has never been cheaper, while the annual cost of ownership is roughly the same as a gym membership, according to sailing writer and author Dave Selby.
Selby bought his first boat in 2004, an 18-foot Sailfish yacht built in 1978 with a glassfibre hull. It cost less than £2,000 ($2,800), including a trailer to transport it on dry land.
Second-hand sailing dinghies — smaller boats without cabins — can be snapped up for a few hundred pounds. Some can be carried on the roof of a car.
"A lot of people who don't sail think that sailing is elitist, expensive and exclusive," said Selby, a 58-year-old Briton who writes a monthly column for Practical Boat Owner magazine.
"But what I want to show is that it really isn't, and that cost is no barrier to getting afloat.
"If you know what you are doing, and you have the same knowledge required as buying a used car, you can buy a great little boat for next to nothing."
In 2016, Selby sailed his boat 340 miles from the east coast of England to the Southampton Boat Show on the south coast.
Although his voyage was mainly aimed at showing people how inexpensive and fun sailing can be, Selby also raised more than £5,000 for www.gaincharity.org.uk, which funds research into a rare autoimmune condition called Guillain-Barré Syndrome which he has had since 2012.
Selby has to go to hospital for three days every five weeks to get treatment for his nerve illness but it hasn't stopped him enjoying his sport.
"If Dave Selby can do it, then anyone can," he said.
The bigger the boat, the more costs that are involved, such as insurance, maintenance and mooring fees (if needed), but Selby says the benefits are worth it.
"Of course, a boat has costs, but if you use it a lot what you'll find is that the costs are minimal in return for the enjoyment that you will get," Selby said.
"My boat gives me holidays of a lifetime, for a lifetime. That's less than the price of one single family holiday."
And unlike an old car, fiberglass yachts have very few maintenance costs and can last for decades.
"Unlike cars, that rust and die, fiberglass doesn't rust and it doesn't rot like wood so there is an ever growing stock of them," said Selby.
Glassfiber boats that were first built in the 1960s and 1970s "were very often over-engineered," according to Selby.
"They were really built tough, and built to last because they didn't know the tolerances they could build down to," he said.
"If they've lasted 40 years, there isn't a reason they shouldn't last another 40 years."
Yacht ownership in the UK has dropped to 58,110 between 2013 and 2015, down from 67,491 between the years 2010 and 2012, according to Classic Sailor magazine.
"We have an aging population and we live in an age of relative austerity after the global financial crash of 2008. A lot of older people are giving up on the water, which is very sad for them, but it opens up a world of opportunity for those who want to get on the water," said Selby, who also worked as an automotive journalist specializing in classic cars.
Selby, who last year wrote a book called "The Impractical Boat Owner," has a few tips for budding yacht owners:
Do your homework first. Read up on boats, and if you have the chance, go and visit a boat yard.
Start small. Better to buy a boat that's small and trade up, instead of buying a boat that's too big and difficult to handle, which will only knock your confidence.
Don't buy a rare boat. Better get one they made loads of, because there will be an active owners' association that can give you support and tips about quirks and faults.
Join the owners association before you buy. They may have boats for sale on their website and can advise on important inspection points. You may even get a chance to sail a similar vessel before you end up buying one.
Unless you have a mate with top-notch boating knowledge, always do a survey!
There is also an economic argument behind getting people into sailing. Selby knows of someone who bought his first boat for £800 almost 20 years ago, but has since traded up seven times and now spends £250,000.
"If you don't get them onto the water into their first boat, that can't happen," he said. "I describe it as saving people from golf. If you don't get them in the first boat, they might end up playing golf, and we don't want that because it's disastrous for your dress sense."
'One of the great freedoms'
More than anything else, Selby wants to emphasize how much enjoyment sailing has given him.
"Sailing is one of the great freedoms there is, you don't need a license," said Selby. "The marvel of sailing is that is shows us how little we need, and how lucky we are.
"I sail on my little boat, and I point it at the horizon and I think 'If I've got enough food, then I could just keep going.' You realize that you don't need input such as news, music or things to read. It completely fills you up when you go away sailing. And then you come back and you find that the world is still there and nothing much has happened."
