NEWPORT NEWS, Va. - A Hampton woman pleaded guilty today to aggravated identity theft for stealing over $21,000 from an elderly client. In-home care provider Sandra Payne pled guilty in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia to aggravated identity theft arising from her misuse of an elderly client's family's credit/debit card account numbers. Using that data without the knowledge or consent of the owners, Payne purchased goods and services in excess of $21,000.
Nigerian citizens Olayinka Olaniyi and Damilola Soloman Ibiwoye were arrested and extradited from Malaysia to the United States in order to face charges of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, computer fraud, and aggravated identity theft after hacking into American university computer systems and stealing paychecks and tax returns. Ibiwoye pled guilty and was sentenced to 39 months in prison. Olaniyi was convicted by a federal jury and is spending nearly six years in jail.
In an Indictment filed in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan, Oghenevwakpo Igboba was accused of using hundreds of individuals' personally identifying information to access an Internal Revenue Service website, from which he took sensitive tax and personal information. Using the purloined information, Igboba filed false Form 1040s, and, thereafter, directed hundreds of thousands of dollars to himself. Although IRS systems stopped many of the returns, Igboba personally received at least $57,000. A jury found Igboba guilty of one count of conspiracy to defraud the United States, one count of wire fraud, eight counts of making a false claim to the United States, and eight counts of aggravated identity theft. Igboba was sentenced to 162 months in prison plus three years' supervised release; and ordered to pay $514,823 in restitution, a $48,205 money judgement, and $1,800 in court assessments.
[H]ared, Ditman, and their co-conspirators used fraud, deception, and social engineering techniques to induce representatives of cellphone service providers to provide information about the SIM cards of the conspirators' victims. A SIM card-short for Subscriber Identity Module or Subscriber Identification Module-is a technology used to identify and authenticate subscribers on mobile phone devices. The conspirators allegedly convinced the representatives of cellphone service providers to transfer or port cellphone numbers from SIM cards in the devices possessed by victims to SIM cards in devices possessed by the conspirators, a practice known as SIM swapping. The indictment further alleges that after Hared, Ditman, and others gained control of victims' cellphone numbers, they used additional deceptive techniques to gain access to email, electronic storage, and other accounts of victims and ultimately to cryptocurrency accounts of victims. Hared, Ditman, and their co-conspirators also extorted victims of the SIM swapping scheme.
Since at least 2012, a Brazilian company (the "Client") held an account at a financial institution headquartered in Manhattan (the "Firm"). Beginning in or about June 2014, ELIAS was in correspondence with a Senior Vice President at the Firm (the "Firm Employee") regarding the Client's account. The Firm Employee then began receiving emails purportedly from an employee of the Client (the "Client Employee") instructing the Firm Employee to transfer the Client's money to a bank account in Luxembourg (the "Luxembourg Account") that appeared to be in the name of the Client. Those emails were later determined to have been sent from an email address created the same day that was never used by the Client Employee and contained bogus wire instructions with the forged signature of the Client Employee. As a result of the false documentation provided to the Firm Employee, on July 15, 2014, the Firm transferred approximately $752,000 from the Client's account at the Firm to the Luxembourg Account (the "Fraudulent Transfer"), believing it to be a legitimate transfer requested by the Client.
In actuality, the Client did not authorize the Fraudulent Transfer, did not have any bank or brokerage accounts in Luxembourg, and did not send the emails to the Firm Employee requesting the transfer. Instead, the Luxembourg Account that received the Fraudulent Transfer was beneficially owned by ELIAS and opened in the name of a company formed in Panama the week prior to the Fraudulent Transfer. The Luxembourg Account was held in the name of a company containing the name of the Client in order to create the false impression that the Client's funds were being transferred to an account beneficially owned by the Client when in fact such account was beneficially owned by ELIAS. . . .
In a Complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Georgia, the SEC alleged that Thomas Conrad, Jr. and two unregistered advisory firms he controlled, Financial Management Corporation ("FMC") and Financial Management Corporation, S.R.L. ("FMC Uruguay") directed preferential redemptions and other disbursements from funds advised by FMC and FMC Uruguay for himself, his extended family, and certain favored investors, while representing to other investors that redemptions were suspended. Further, the Complaint alleged that Conrad failed to disclose conflicts of interest arising from loans made to Conrad's family members and Conrad's appointment of himself as a sub-manager for a fee. Also, the Complaint alleged that in offering materials given to prospective investors, defendants touted Conrad's significant experience in the securities industry, but failed to disclose his disciplinary history. The Court granted summary judgment on the fraud claims based on the fraudulent redemption practices and failure to disclose Conrad's disciplinary history. The Court found that Conrad, FMC, and FMC Uruguay repeatedly made material misrepresentations; however, the Court denied the SEC's motion for summary judgment on its claims that Conrad failed to disclose conflicts of interest, finding that there were disputed issues of facts. Finally, the Complaint alleged that Conrad failed to disclose to investors that he titled certain fund assets in his name, rather than the fund's name, and that Conrad, FMC, and FMC Uruguay falsely represented the historical performance of the funds and that the funds were being audited. The Court has yet to adjudicate these latter claims.
In the Matter of Christopher Duke Bennett, Respondent (AWC 2017054060301, February 1, 2019).
Between January 2014 and December 2015, Bennett exercised discretion in the accounts of four customers, one of whom was a senior investor, by placing approximately 75 total trades in those accounts. Bennett did not obtain express authorization from those customers for those trades prior to placing them, did not have written authorization from the customers to exercise discretionary authority in those accounts, and neither sought nor obtained from Hilliard Lyons prior written acceptance of the accounts as discretionary.
By virtue of the foregoing, Bennett violated NASD Rule 2510(b) and FINRA Rule 2010.
While helping to raise nearly $5 million for a purported investment, Respondent Joseph Vitale told investors that he received no commissions, when in fact roughly a third of their funds were siphoned to his personal benefit. This initial decision bars Vitale from associating with any broker, dealer, investment adviser, municipal securities dealer, municipal advisor, transfer agent, or nationally recognized statistical rating organization, and from participating in an offering of penny stock.
Claimant was not involved in the alleged deposit of the Customer's check into a personal account. The Arbitrator noted that Claimant's Exhibits 3, 4 and 5 conclusively demonstrated that Claimant did not deposit the check into a personal account. Exhibit 5 contains a letter signed by the Customer, which includes the statements, "This was a clerical error involving the cashier and home office personnel, [Respondent] placed the incorrect account number on my account" and Claimant "did not misdirect or misappropriate these funds."

Despite Poor Fundraising Holsclaw Remains Confident
Trailing by more than 30-points in the polls, Republican gubernatorial candidate and Jefferson County Clerk Bobbie Holsclaw says she is still a contender despite meager campaign contributions.
On Tuesday, Holsclaw's campaign reported she raised only $22,774 in the first quarter of the three-way GOP primary contest against state Senate President David Williams and Louisville businessman Phil Moffett.
From the Herald-Leader:
Williams is expected to report more than $1 million in contributions and Moffett less than $100,000 in documents that are due by Wednesday evening.
Holsclaw said Tuesday that she will have enough money to get her message out to the public, despite being outgunned by her opponents.
"I have been the under dog before and I've done it before," Holsclaw said, referring to her first run for Jefferson County Clerk in 1998 against a well-known Democratic opponent.
Over the course of the campaign, Moffett has also faced financial woes and is also down by more than 30 points in the polls, but his estimated $100,000 still quadruples Holsclaw. It was expected by GOP insiders that Holsclaw would perform better financially given her stature in GOP politics in Jefferson County.

May River boys' soccer survived an offensive shootout with Wade Hampton on Friday, edging the Red Devils 8-7 to stay unbeaten in region play.
Joel Fleek scored a hat trick and Mikey Chappelear scored two goals and assisted on three more to help the top-ranked Sharks avoid the upset.
May River started fast, as Conner Golden scored in the second minute and Chappelear assisted on Fleek's first goal in the fourth minute for a quick 2-0 lead. Hampton answered with three straight goals before Fleek converted another Chappelear assist to tie it in the 26th minute.
The Red Devils regained the lead at 4-3 four minutes later, but Chappelear scored off a Nick Lewis assist just before halftime to tie it at 4. The Sharks began the second half with a flourish, as Golden, Chappelear and Chris Pineda scored goals in the first eight minutes of the half with assists from Chappelear and Jackson Stove.
Hampton quickly answered with two goals to pull within 7-6 before Fleek converted a penalty kick to complete his hat trick in the 76th minute. The Red Devils scored just before the end of the match to pull within one but did not have time to find the equalizer.
Tony Rodriguez made five saves in the win.
The Sharks (13-1, 4-0) have won nine straight heading into a region match at Ridgeland-Hardeeville on Tuesday.

Scene graph transforms, Stencil shadows or shadow mapping?
I'm wondering how I should structure my scene graph, and how that relates to stencil shadows and shadow mapping. Currently I think stencil shadows require knowledge of the final transformed vertices in your java code, where I think this differs from shadow mapping is that you don't need knowledge of the vertices final positions in you code, but you can let opengl handle all that for you. I'm assuming that letting opengl handle the objects transforms with glTranslate etc, is faster then doing this my self in java with my own matrices, I've figured that if I do it in my own code that per node I will need to do 2 4x4 matrix multiplies which amounts to 128 multiplications and 128 additions, and then I would have to multiply this matrix times every vertex which is probably extremely slow, isn't it? Is there a way I can structure my scene graph to use opengls modelview transforms instead of setting the modelview to identity and doing the transforms myself? If I use opengls modelview transforms is there a way that I can get the transformed vertex data back in my program for stencil shadows?

Home › Marvel Comics › Frank to battle Monsters of Norse Mythology in The War of the Realms.
Honest confession: when it comes to Punisher stories, I prefer Punisher stories that take place in reality-based worlds such as in Punisher Max and Marvel's The Punisher TV Show where no superpowered magical beings, fanciful monsters and beasts, and fantasy, fairy-tale style realms exist like what you see in He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and She-Ra, Princess of Power.
Admittedly, I don't like seeing Frank in fantasy worlds where unicorns exist along with winged horses, mythical monsters, portals opening up to magical worlds, gods, dwarfs, elves, stuff that stinkin' Deadpool enjoys being in. After all, Wade loves riding unicorns and colorful winged horses over the rainbow in many fantasy worlds in his head or in the many worlds that dotted the Marvel Universe in the comics.
To me, I find it overwhelming and at times way too much for me to see Frank get stuck in a multiverse that's immersed in way too much fantasy just like the 2015 Secret Wars story arc from 4 years ago. Thankfully, in a lot of ways, this upcoming major Marvel event won't be like the massive planet-colliding Fantastic Four-centric event.
In next month's upcoming major Thor storyline, The War of the Realms, Frank is going to find himself wallowing in Norse mythology as he helps the Marvel Heroes save the main Marvel Earth from an approaching army of monsters and villains lead by the evil dark elf Malekith the Accursed who plans to conquer all of the mythological worlds of Norse Mythology and enslaved all of its inhabitants.
First Frank will end up battling armies of Norse mythological monsters invading New York City in a 3 part special Punisher comic tie-in. Then he teams up with many Marvel Heroes and Norse deities to find Thor Odinson, the god of thunder, the son of Odin, and a member of the Avengers, who for some reason went missing at a very bad time.
All the Marvel heroes must race against time to find the lost Avenger and get his help to stop Malekith from conquering the final realm (Midgard aka Earth) after the arch villain of Thor managed to conquered all the 9 realms in Norse Mythology saving Midgard (aka Earth), the 10th and final realm for last. Thor is the only Marvel hero who can stop Malekith from conquering all of the 10 realms of Norse Mythology.
As shown in the image above, The War of the Realms promo shows all sorts of fanciful imagery of mythical and fantasy creatures and humans that only exist alongside the super-powered heroes in The Marvel Universe. And Frank (near the bottom left), being the only Marvel Hero without any powers, is caught right in the middle of it.
At lease the storyline won't affect the ongoing solo Punisher series written by Matthew Rosenberg where we see Frank ending up being captured and taken to Bagalia, the rogue nation of Hydra villains, where he ends up a prisoner of Hydra for many months until he found a way to escape and start a major warpath to bring Bagalia and all of Hydra to its watery grave.

James McGill Buchanan: Part Two
Conservatives like to talk about "corruption". A lot. But do they mean the same thing most people mean by the word? I think many people would consider a political party doing something that does not benefit the people, but rewards their friends as corruption.
Say, for example, a Minister of the Crown who passes legislation liable to directly benefit a family member or themself, to the detriment of the public good. That seems like corruption.

Or a government that invents panels & advisory positions for friends & donors & arranges for these panels and advisors to return reports and recommendations that mirror what the governing party wants to do, but with the guise of "research" and "impartiality". Seems corrupt.

Or, a government that changes electoral boundaries and/or rules to favour their party in the next election. Or makes backroom deals where advantages are offered in exchange for funding PACs and promoting the party. Those seem like corruption.

The James McGill Buchanan definition is subtly different. I now present you with a quote from @NancyMacLean5 's book, "Democracy in Chains" which illustrates this point...
"Buchanan believed with every fibre of his being that if what a group of people wanted from government could not, on its own merits, win the freely given backing of each individual citizen, including the very wealthiest among us, any attempt by that group to use its numbers to get what it wanted constituted not persuasion of the majority but coercion of the minority, a violation of the liberty of individual taxpayers."
In other words, he viewed governments who do things the majority (or large groups of citizens) wants, in order to get re-elected, as corrupt, if those things impinged upon the wishes of anyone (particularly the wealthiest).
So, current Canadian conservatives (who seem to be advocates of the Buchanan school of thought) would feel that, for example, a government raising the minimum wage against the wishes of wealthy business owners, is corrupt.
Obviously, a government that is run on Buchanan's principles would do nothing in crisis situations, if the wealthy did not like the action. The CPC have strongly indicated that they feel CERB and other pandemic relief is deeply suspect.
They want to have a committee to examine the "corruption" of the Liberal government in setting up programs to help people. They have signaled that they would have done nothing. Just as Harper did not want to act on stimulus spending during the recession of 2008.
The Buchanan philosophy gives the wishes of the extremely wealthy preeminence, because he felt their rights were being infringed by any government action that interfered with their ability to be wealthy and continue to amass wealth.
Remember, from my first instalment about Buchanan, that his theories emerged from a deep resentment of having to treat black citizens in the southern US equally, and the associated costs of that to the wealthy taxpayer.
Buchanan's philosophy is predicated on the notion that people are not equal. The wealthy are more important and must not be victimized by the not-wealthy, even though the not-wealthy have far greater numbers.
Most of us understand democracy as a system in which people vote for a candidate from the party they feel will most benefit their community or the country. And the governing party tries to work to the public good, thus pleasing the people, and being re-elected.
In pleasing the people, in a system where number of votes matters more than people's bank accounts, large groups of not-wealthy people have power. Buchanan would say this "pleasing the people" is corruption, because it doesn't protect the interests of the wealthy few.
It is important to understand when conservatives speak these days that their terms of reference may not be the same as most people's. Likewise, their goals may be completely at odds with those of most Canadians.
Stay tuned, there will be more about Buchanan soon!

James McGill Buchanan: Part One
In 1955, the US Supreme Court issued its second Brown v. Board of Education ruling. They called for dismantling of segregation in public schools, across the US, "with all deliberate speed".
Now, some people in Virginia, including the president of the University of Virginia, Colgate Whitehead Darden Jr, were appalled by this. They felt it seriously over-reached into "states' rights".
Any state, they felt, should be able to discriminate against any people they felt were inferior, because of race, religion, gender, or whatever damn thing they chose. They saw it as a deliberate attack on the cherished values and way of life of southern Americans.
Well, white southern Americans, anyway. And, really, from their point of view, those were the only southerners that mattered. Darden had a young economist on faculty, James McGill Buchanan. Buchanan had written a proposal that touched Darden deeply.
It was as if they thought with one mind. Buchanan saw the ruling as not just an attack on the State's right to discriminate, but he also foresaw how giving these people more rights would inevitably lead to actual depletions of the bank accounts of people like himself.
He realised that those with resources would be called upon to subsidize the creation of equality. He imagined his taxes going up to accommodate all these people who had, hitherto been treated as inferior. And he did not like that.
His proposal to Darden was that if Darden could find the resources to create a centre at the university for Buchanan, he (Buchanan) would create a new school of political economy and social philosophy to counter these incursions into the traditional southern way of life.
Darden was excited by this, and found the money for Buchanan's centre. However, despite working very hard, Buchanan and his staff were unable to stem the tide of civil rights and progressive thought through the 60s and 70s.
But, sometime in the 80s or early 90s, Charles Koch discovered Buchanan and his work and began to pour money into Buchanan's Centre for Study of Public Choice. And things began to happen...
Buchanan had an idea, stemming from that Supreme Court ruling, that would change how the right would conduct politics. His core idea: that people should not be allowed to use their numbers to force legislation favouring their position.
That no person of property should be made to give up any of their property, through taxation or otherwise, nor should business profit be thwarted, simply because a large number of people wanted certain things to happen. Think about that for a moment.
Buchanan's core premise is the antithesis of democracy. He believed that law-makers should not heed the will of the people, but, rather, should protect the most wealthy. Ostensibly from the will of the people. Obviously, Buchanan felt that labour unions were terrible...
Unions picked employers' pockets based on the sheer number of workers relative to the number of employers. He was opposed to the will of the many impinging in any way on the will of the 1%.
This is a very brief introduction to James McGill Buchanan. It is largely drawn from the book, Democracy in Chains, by Nancy MacLean (@NancyMacLean5) . I encourage you to get a copy and read it.
What has this got to do with Canadian politics? Well, look around. What you see happening in Alberta, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and being proposed by the federal CPC, is all based on Buchanan's ideology.
Just like in the US, think-tanks in Canada (Fraser Institute and others) are busy churning out propaganda to support this ideology. Our American-owned media is controlling the way news is reported to subtly sway Canadians to favour a corporatocracy.
It's all around us. Before you flame me, think. Think about how closely Canadian conservative parties mirror what the Republicans are doing in the US. Think about what might underlie their actions. No, it is not because they are stupid or incompetent. A lot of people think that.
But that is not the case. They are bad for Canadians because they are not serving Canadians. They aren't bungling. They are doing their jobs. It's just that their jobs are not what we think they are. Think about it.
That's it for the first instalment. I will give everyone some time to process this information. There will be more. Much more. Stay tuned!

Far Right Rebel Media and Their Ties to Canadian Conservatives
Today I welcome another guest blogger, @PaulByJove, who will illuminate us all on the entity known as Rebel Media, and how this organization is impacting public opinion in Canada. Paul, thank you for your research. We all need to know what is being pushed into our brains and our neighbours' brains. Without further ado, here's Paul:
I can't follow any more accts back right because I guess I don't have enough mushrooms or coins or whatever twitter needs for me to "proceed to the next level". So I'll recreate some threads on rebel @postmedianet @CPC_HQ. You know, "the family".
Let's start with Rebel media, and all things Ezra.
Here's an article on its founder
Ezra LevantEzra Levant Credentials Levant holds a commerce degree from the University of Calgary and formerly a law degree from the University of Alberta. He applied to resign from the legal profession in 2016 …https://www.desmogblog.com/ezra-levant
And where does rebel get its funding?

Here's @FaithGoldy
Faith Goldy Fired From The Rebel"I miss Ezra already," she says.https://www.canadalandshow.com/faith-goldy-gone-rebel/
Here's Gavin McInnes, founder of proud boys, talking about, laughing about the horrific beating of Rodney King
Here's @SheilaGunnReid. Here are some of her tweets about being a big fan of ISIS methodology, wanting to genocide millions of people in the middle east and assorted nuttery.
Here's Gavin, Sheila, and Faith. This (now gone) vid was originally titled (And I don't like writing it) 10 Things I Hate About The Goddamn Mother Fucking Jews. They changed it 2X. 1st by removing MF & then the GD. Yes, more concern with profanity than antisemitism

Nor is Ms.Levy the only "reporter" at this org to have a complaint filed & upheld. Here's @brianlilley
This is their "go to guy" to report on national news because of his seemingly preternatural grasp of the obvious, as demonstrated by this 👇
This is still on his TL.
Oh yeah, @brianlilley is pure class.

I grew up in Winnipeg, lived in Montreal for a bit, but now I live in rural AB, outside Calgary. I have 3 kids, all young adults now, of whom I am astronomically proud. I have a BA in Film, an MBA in Organizational Behaviour and a PhD in Consumer Behaviour (aka Marketing). I spend about 3 months of the year off the grid in a remote cabin in NW Ontario and living without amenities like electricity, a phone and running water somewhat informs my views on things. I play hockey. I work out with weights and do aerobics and hot yoga. I dance. I SCUBA dive. My main reason for starting this blog is I have so much going on in my head, and when I let dribs and drabs leak out in my FaceBook statuses, I think I maybe alienate people. See, I am very opinionated. And I am going to rant here. I am going to rant about politics, for sure. I will also probably rant about various and sundry difficulties and frustrations of everyday life. At some points I will wax poetic about how wonderful life is, or about my most recent adventures. Or my kids. And from time to time, I will talk food and cooking. So... that's about it. I hope you enjoy and tell your friends...


There are stories in the news every week about how we're in the middle of a depression epidemic.
But I don't need to read about it… I'm seeing it firsthand in my practice.
Patients shuffle into my office, heads down and shoulders slumped… and they look absolutely MISERABLE.
Many of these good folks have been failed by mainstream medicine and depression drugs.
And they're not alone… these risky meds are harming more people than they're helping.
But there's a natural remedy that can ERASE your blues quickly and effectively… no pills required.
And if the drug companies had their way, you'd never hear a thing about it.
Millions of Americans are walking around doped up on antidepressants – still looking like they do when they first come into my office (head down, shoulders slumped).
Sixty-eight percent of adult users have taken them for two or more years; 25 percent for more than 10 years!
All this despite an ABYSMAL success rate! These drugs are INEFFECTIVE 40% of the time.
Even worse, black box warnings are slapped all over them. (A black box warning is the MOST SERIOUS WARNING the FDA can use.).
Because, in a sad twist of fate, antidepressants have been known to cause suicides.
Instead, let's take a look at CBD (cannabinoid) oil.
CBD oil is an ALL-NATURAL extract from marijuana.
Meaning it won't get you high, or turn you into a zombie like antidepressants do!
In fact, a recent study found CBD oil ELIMINATED some of the symptoms of depression in a SINGLE DAY!
The researchers discovered CBD improves levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF).
BDNF helps regenerate neurons and synapses – two areas that antidepressants have no hope of affecting.
Plus, it targets brain structures involved in depression and re-balances them.
CBD does all this (AND MORE) without the added risk of suicide, lethargy, and erectile dysfunction.
The good news is that CBD is now legal, in some form or another, in most states. Talk to your doc about what you need to do to get it where you live.

Sixty seven lambs as of this evening. Here are some of them.
Our sheep eat "baleage" in the winter which is hay that is "ensiled" in white ag plastic. It is also called haylage and silage or "giant marshmallows" by the little kids that don't know about farming. The hay was harvested last summer by The Farmer and then stored along side the different hay fields. The white plastic acts as a pickle jar and preserves green hay so that it can be fed during the winter. He has to drive the tractor (no cab) in the freezing cold to pick up the hay. Most of the fields are a few miles away. Lots of driving in the cold. If we had a second loader tractor, he could transport several bales at once on the back of a hay wagon but that isn't in the budget. He tries to do it on the warmer days. This winter it has been extremely cold - even for here. Every night, he comes home so exhausted and tired from the cold. I help in the mornings tailing and numbering the sheep and this year we even have a couple of apprentices helping with this job. Thank you Terri and Liz.
The following is a step by step of morning feeding of a bale. A bale weighs over 800 lbs. I stay away when they drop to the ground. The dicey part of feeding big bales like this is making sure the lambs and ewes stay away when the bale is dropped. A bale can easily kill a 200 pound ewe so my job is to shoo them all away - and stay away from the bale myself.
The bale is dropped from the grabber bars of the tractor.
The Farmer uses his handy dandy knife to cut through the white plastic.
When the bale is opened, it smells both sweet and sour. Different bales must taste different. Sometimes the sheep just pick at them and sometimes they eat them so quick - kind of like a kid eating ice cream. Sometimes they smell so awful that I can't stand to walk past the farm clothes The Farmer wears when feeding them when they are on the wing chair in the living room in the evening.
You can see extra bales sitting along the edge of the woods.
The ewes know that they are being fed a fresh bale now. If they are too hungry, they can crowd in which gets dangerous. It's important to keep them all well-fed.
Some of the bales go directly on the ground and some go in feeders like below. If we had unlimited money, we would have more feeders but that isn't happening. Feeding on the ground means we waste hay but nothing is perfect in the world of farming.
What we are left with is massive amounts of white plastic. It is one of the unfortunate things about putting up baleage. Our county is working on a plan to truck all this white ag plastic to a plastic plant to be recycled. That is good news. We have two years of white plastic sitting in a pile. Now to find the time to bag it all up and transport if they get it together to take another load.
When The Farmer was young, he was one of the kids the neighboring farmers would call to help hay. Back then, there were no large bales - all small square bales that had to be picked up, thrown on a hay wagon, then loaded into a barn to keep them dry. Some farms still put up square bales. Now, with the loss of willing neighbor kids interested in farming and the hard work it is picking up and stacking the hay in a barn, baleage is a good solution. It isn't ideal but it makes farming with limited labor possible although the purchase of expensive tractors and baling equipment is necessary.
Here are some cute photos from today. These two photos kind of give you an idea of the scale of the hay bales.
Jeremy with two of the little black lambs.
These two twins were resting on their mama for at least 40 minutes. Glad I caught them after chores.
Hope you are are all having a good week. Stay warm if possible.
Adorable sheep pics today. LOVE the one of the twins sitting on their mama.
I really enjoy the farm posts. Thanks for giving us a glimpse of the hard work that goes into farming.
Thank you for finding the time to take the photos and explain all about your farming year. I remember working on the small bales, I used to drive the tractor around the flat fields with a hay trailer on the back, while the boys threw them up and stacked the load. I was about 12 and learned clutch control! Then the square bales became super square bales and now haylage. I know that smell, too - makes your nostrils tickle! Keep us all posted and take care from those falling bales.
Oh, Kristin, that last picture gave me such a chuckle! They are keeping each other warm!
I had no idea those bales weighed so much! I see them around my travels too.
I really appreciate the education about farming life you provide and the adorable lamb pictures always make me smile! Glad you don't have many newborns in the house this year.
I love reading about the nitty gritty of your farming life. Thank you for showing all the insider information! It's quite edifying. And of course, I love the sheep photos!
Kristin, have you spun any yarn from Jeremy's wool? He's beautiful!
We have both the big round bales and the small square 75 pound bales. I hate the plastic on the big rounds I hate just throwing it away. It sounds great that your county is trying to figure out a solution to this. After hearing this I am going to approach our recycling plant about it,Thank you. I already have a way to recycle the twine from the small bales. We find that asking our local wrestling team boys is a great solution to getting help in bucking bales. They like to do it because it is different and they get a work out to boot. All we have to do is feed them for their help. That can add up feeding 6-8 teenage athletes but they always have fun and ask us to call them back for the next time we hay. Love the picture with of the lambs & llama.
Hello Kristin, here in my corner of the French Pyrenees (where your Winston's ancestors come from)farmers begin to use those "white balls", but they mostly make round balls held in a sort of plastic net, which they hoard in the barns next to the sheep pens. The sheep here are raised for their meat and stay indoors most of the winter (which is much milder than yours ...)The ewes lamb around march and the lambs follow their mama in the estives in the mountain around june, till september.

Sheehan: Voting Block
By Joe Sheehan
It will be a busy summer Sunday on the shore of Otsego Lake, as six all-time greats are inducted into the Hall of Fame on July 29. The writers elected Vladimir Guerrero, Trevor Hoffman, Chipper Jones and Jim Thome, who will be joined by Modern Era Committee selections Jack Morris and Alan Trammell.
Morris' candidacy was a point of considerable debate during his 15 years on the writers' ballot, pitting modern statistical analysis against both traditional stats and the idea that a player "felt" like a Hall of Famer when he played. This isn't the time to rehash those debates. Morris' quick "yes" by the voting body formerly known as the Veterans Committee after 15 "no's" from the writers does, however, call into question a different aspect of the current Hall process.
Morris finished his career with 254 wins. The writers have voted in just three starters since 1992 with fewer than 300 wins. One was Pedro Martinez, who at his peak was one of the greatest pitchers who ever lived. A second was John Smoltz, who got bonus points for spending four years as a closer. The third was Bert Blyleven, who had 287 wins and required years of advocacy by outsiders, led by the late Rich Lederer, to get over the line.
Now, we know that pitcher wins are a poor means of judging performance relative to looking at runs allowed, innings and strikeout rate. A pitcher controls those better than he does his run support and the quality of his bullpen. This isn't an outsider position any longer; this is the way baseball teams are run.
Consider also that since the 1970s, pitchers are making fewer starts per season and, because they're not expected to complete games, getting fewer decisions per season. Tom Seaver averaged 35 starts a season from 1967 through 1979. Only one pitcher in the last seven seasons has gotten 35 starts even once. No pitcher since 2003 has started 36 times in a season. Seaver averaged 28 decisions a year during that 13-year peak. We usually see two or three pitchers a season have 28 decisions these days.
One reason statheads advocate for metrics such as wins above replacement is that they evaluate players in the context of their era. This is critically important when it comes to pitchers, whose usage patterns have varied wildly across baseball history. Modern pitchers seem to pale in comparison to their predecessors through a traditional lens; they don't pitch as much and they often have higher ERAs, especially as compared to the legends of the 1960s, who were pitching off high mounds to a huge strike zone. WAR accounts for that.
WAR lets us put Zack Greinke's 2009 season—229 innings, 16 wins, 2.16 ERA in a league with a 4.45 ERA—on the same scale as Christy Mathewson's 1903—366 innings, 30 wins, 2.26 ERA in a league with a 3.26 mark—and see that they were almost identical in value. It lets us compare the careers of pitchers who threw mush balls and faced nothing but white players with ones throwing today's Super Balls and trying to beat Mookie Betts, Jose Altuve and Giancarlo Stanton.
The writers who vote on players haven't been making those adjustments. Blyleven, who by WAR is one of the 50 best players in baseball history, needed 13 ballots to get in. Kevin Brown, statistically comparable to the likes of Hall of Famers Don Drysdale, Juan Marichal and Carl Hubbell, was dropped from the ballot after appearing once. Mike Mussina, by WAR one of the 25 best pitchers in history, has been hanging around for five ballots so far, still 70 or so votes short of induction. Curt Schilling, a match for Mussina statistically and with a strong narrative case based on his postseason work, is more than a hundred votes short after six years on the ballot.
Ten More Notable Minor League Top 10 Prospects Rankings
The top 10 Minor League Top 10 Prospects classes ever, as measured by WAR, plus 10 others that just missed the cut.
These are all great pitchers who compare favorably not just to the bottom tier of Hall of Famers, the mistakes of profligate Veterans Committees of the past, but to stars who were voted in by the writers. The inability to adjust performance for era—the refusal to use advanced statistics—is creating an impossible barrier for many modern pitchers to clear.
This problem isn't going away. The next crop of Hall-caliber pitchers is unlikely to reach 300 and—in some cases—250 wins.
If Mike Mussina (270 wins, 3,562 innings, 83 WAR) can't get in, what happens to Roy Halladay (203 wins, 2,749 innings, 66 WAR)? How does CC Sabathia (241 wins, 3,388 innings, 61 WAR) get due consideration? What do we do with the next generation of starters, the ones getting 32 starts and 23 decisions a year, but who are just as valuable as Deadball Hall of Famers who threw 350 innings a year?
Justin Verlander has 197 wins and 2,652 innings at age 35. The writers have put in two pitchers with fewer than 250 wins since 1992. Do you really think Verlander is still four good years from the Hall? Max Scherzer and Chris Sale aren't going to throw 3,500 innings or win 250 games, but they've been among the defining starters of this era. They need to be evaluated fairly when their time comes, and using wins, using any traditional counting stats, isn't going to be enough.
The voters responsible for honoring the greatest players ever are missing the boat on modern starting pitchers—but the forecast is not completely cloudy. That's because the Hall's voting body gets a little less gray each year as retired writers are culled from the ranks and newer writers gain the right to vote. Thus the Hall's voting body in the future will naturally be more familiar with modern metrics, which will help shape new pitching standards.
Only then will the best pitchers of this century, like Mike Mussina, get their due.

Home Apples and Pears: Harvesting Fruit on Mexican Menus
Apples and Pears: Harvesting Fruit on Mexican Menus
Apples and Pears
By Karen Hursh Graber
Late summer and early fall in Mexico bring an abundance of seasonal fruit, including apples and pears. While not usually associated with Mexican food north-of-the-border, they play flavorful roles in much of the country's regional cooking, including favorites like the iconic chiles en nogada, which includes several varieties of fruit harvested in time for Septembe's patriotic festivals and special dishes.
Brought by the Spaniards, along with several other kinds of fruit now common in Mexico's orchards, apples and pears grow well in several states, including Chihuahua, the country's largest producer of apples, and Puebla, where they are celebrated in an annual festival in the town named for the fruit, Zacatln de las Manzanas. Their long shelf life and nutritional properties make them a favorite of home cooks, and their regular availability makes it easy for chefs to include them on menus throughout the year.
In addition to jellies, jams and fruit liqueurs, apples are used to make the popular, mildly alcoholic sparkling cider called sidra, and in mole de xico, a regional favorite from Veracruz. Both pears and apples are found in manchamanteles, or "tablecloth stainer," a rich, deep red mole claimed by both Puebla and Oaxaca. And in Morelos, apples are braised with chicken in a poultry and fruit combination typical of the area.
Chefs in Mexico incorporate apples and pears, either together or separately, into a variety of salads, and both fruits take well to a wide range of creative dressings. At Los Mercaderes in Mexico City, the ensalada paradiso includes apples with jicama, celery and strawberries, served on a bed of mixed lettuce and dressed with a tamarind and honey vinaigrette. The capital's Reforma 500 serves an apple, pear and walnut salad with walnut vinaigrette, and several restaurant salads in Mexico feature apples and pears with cheese.
Guanajuato's El Abue serves a pear salad with goat cheese and an apple salad with roquefort and toasted pecans, both plated over mixed greens. At River Cafe in Puerto Vallarta, the ensalada de manzana asada consists of grilled apple, lightly fried camembert cheese and raspberry dressing over lettuce. Other apple, pear and cheese salads served in Puerto Vallarta are the pecan and blueberry garnished apple and roquefort salad at Blanca Blue, the pear and gorgonzola salad at Frascati, and the pear and goat cheese salad at Arrecifes.
Apples and pears also appear on menus in several poultry dishes. At Susanna's in Rosarito, chicken is poached in apple cider before being grilled. La Habichuela in Cancun offers duck roasted in pear sauce and flamed with kirsch, and at Los Mercaderes, duck is prepared with a pear and chipotle glaze and plated with a grilled apple.
The classic pairing of apples and pork is on the menu at Le Kliff in Puerto Vallarta, where the herb crusted pork roast is served with apple puree. At Monterrey's Pangea, smoked apple puree accompanies the rack of lamb, and an entree of roasted lobster is served with a pear salad at Puerto Vallarta's La Palapa.
The natural sweetness of apples and pears makes them ideal for desserts, frequently flavored with cinnamon or ginger. An apple and cinnamon compote tops the cheese crepes at La Palapa and an apple and cinnamon bread pudding is served at Susanna's. Sauted cinnamon apples are presented on a pastry round and bathed in kiwi sauce at River Cafe, and apple salad accompanies the ginger creme brulee at Blanc Bleu. Poached pears with ginger sabayon are on the menu at Puerto Vallarta's Taste Restaurant, and La Palapa features a chocolate and ginger truffle tart with pear and caramel sauce.
Although desserts and salads are the obvious places to include apples and pears on a menu, think about their possibilities in salsas and savory items. Both of them go well with the smoky flavor of chipotles and the bright, tart taste of tomatillos. And now that non-traditional ingredients such as chopped walnuts, pomegranate seeds, and mango commonly appear in guacamole, try diced pears, which lend a pleasing textural contrast and might be included in a "guacamole of the month" rotation, where seasonal ingredients lend a timely touch to the old standby.
The Pick of the Crop
Both apples and pears should have smooth skin and be free of wrinkles, bruises, and other marks and scratches. Avoid soft or mushy fruit or undersize fruit, which usually indicates immaturity. Apples have a long shelf life, and ideal cold storage for them is between 31° and 33° F, with 90 percent humidity. Alternatively, they can be stored in a refrigerator, using a plastic bag to seal in some moisture, since the moisture level in refrigerators is considerably lower than in commercial cold storage. Apples can last between three and six months. Hard winter apples, such as Granny Smith, last longer than summer apples like Delicious.
With regard to pears, the most characteristic flavor is found in the Bartlett variety, with its classic pear shape and intense aroma. It is picked green, and can be bought and used green for a crunchy, tart taste and texture, or allowed to ripen at room temperature, turning yellow as it becomes sweeter. Once ripe, pears should be refrigerated in plastic bags. Ripe pears will keep in the refrigerator for three to five days, and unripe pears for a week or more. However, unripe pears must be removed from the refrigerator to ripen properly at room temperature.
Apples and pears appeal to today's health conscious diners, who will appreciate their inclusion on menu items and may be pleasantly surprised to find that they play a part in Mexican cuisine.


LOVE THEMAbsolutely wonderful! Very impressed with the quality especially in the time-frame they were processed and delivered. Thank you so much for this beautiful product. Happy New Year!
LOVE THEMThey were everything I was looking for AND for the best price! I got the smaller size and they are so cute. I got them in less than a week, and was blown away with the look/quality. 100% use New and Blue!
Amazing!I was searching for the perfect save the date for a couple weeks and couldn't find any I had liked on the well known websites. So a quick google search lead me to New and Blue and man I'm SO glad that it did!!!! Within a minute of being on the site I found this design and fell in love! Then I clicked on it and saw that you could COMPLETELY customize the colors!! Finding a save the date in our colors was the one thing I was having an issue with so it was such a great feeling knowing that I could customize the whole thing! They had looked even better in person when I received them! I will definitely be returning to New and Blue for anything I need in the future!
Beautifully doneLove how my sample save the date came out. Once our date is confirmed we plan on ordering full set. The company even gave us an optional color for the envelopes. Lovely.


I love teaching Spanish. I understand how learners think. I am patient, flexible, creative and will make learning fun.I studied in a Spanish Immersion school then lived in South America for a year. Then I continued my love for Spanish by getting a degree in Spanish Portuguese and Global Studies.
I customize my instruction based on the student's goals, learning style, personal preference and language ability.
I will ask what their goals are, what they want to improve on, and how they learn best. I will informally assess their reading, listening, and speaking abilities through asking questions and doing simple tasks while doing their homework or with exercises that match their goals.
I can teach them to problem solve and guess the meaning of words based on the context of the sentence, and guess the meaning of words from cognates or recommend when to use the dictionary. With speaking, I encourage students to take risks and try speaking, even if it's not perfect. The more you practice, the better you get. Sometimes even gestures can also help convey a message.
I will make it fun and be very positive and encouraging. Perfection is not the goal. Gaining fluency over time happens from just practicing more.
I will experiment and try new methods. We can experiment with flashcards, role playing, doing gestures, using repetition, and explaining with lots of analogies.
I have them read the questions at the end of the passage, make predictions about what will happen in the story, and possibly identify words they don't know and look up the definition.
I review the goals of the student. I try to be flexible to adjust the instruction based on the student's personality and ability level. Sometimes I use lots of gestures; other times the student takes the lead and asks questions about what they need help on. Sometimes I guide the student and review things more slowly that they may not understand.
I will try to find a way for it to relate to their life. Help them remember a time something similar happened to them or someone they knew. Or draw on previously learned material to compare or connect the information to.
I can do oral or written informal assessments. Or if the student has specific homework, I should be able to determine if the student understands the concepts based on being able to complete their homework correctly.
I will give them lots of praise, and continue to challenge them as they progress.
I will strengthen their areas of weakness based on their goals and what is appropriate for them to accomplish based on their ability level. Some students may need help with their listening comprehension, while another might need help with pronouncing. Other people might need help memorizing grammatical rules, while others might need help building their vocabulary and increasing fluency. It is based on their goals.
I will adjust the instruction based on the student's ability and their academic goals. I will try one method and ask the student if the speed and focus is right.
I can use flashcards, pictures, dictionaries, pen and paper, grammar books, or anything else they prefer.


This the most fantastic place for you to feel great. The staff is amazing. Always ready to make you feel at home. The food is amazing. And they have lots to choose from. English breakfast is a must. The pasta dishes are gourmet. Full of flavor. Italian style restaurant. every time I come to London is a place that I never miss.
Made a few visits to Mimos for some splendid Cappuccino, Pasta-Dinner, and a few snacks. Such a lovely place. They run it with a passion, and it shows. Best Cappuccino in Paddington, and beware of the Cherry Cheesecake. It is outstanding. It's all very tasty, and it won't break the bank. But it is the atmosphere that is hard to beat.
I really miss the place.
Very popular small café. Good choice on the menu with reasonable prices. Very friendly and helpful staff. Good choice of breakfast options.

δ-Decalacton ist eine organisch-chemische Verbindung und gehört zu der Klasse der Lactone. Es kommt als Aromastoff in Lebensmitteln – insbesondere Milchprodukten – vor und ist ein Schlüsselaromastoff von Butter.

Isomere
δ-Decalacton kommt in zwei enantiomeren Formen [(R)-δ-Decalacton und (S)-δ-Decalacton] vor. Das 1:1-Gemisch beider Verbindung, das Racemat, wird als (RS)-δ-Decalacton bezeichnet.

Vorkommen

δ-Decalacton kommt in verschiedenen Lebensmitteln als Aromastoff vor. Es ist einer der wichtigsten Bestandteile des Butteraromas und trägt auch zum Aroma weiterer Milchprodukte wie H-Milch und verschiedenen Käsen bei. Daneben kommt es auch in verschiedenen Früchten wie Pfirsich, Aprikose, Kokosnuss oder Himbeere vor. In Fleisch sorgt es für ein Fehlaroma.

In den meisten Quellen außer Himbeeren liegt größtenteils die (R)-Form vor.

Gewinnung und Darstellung
In der Natur entsteht δ-Decalacton in mehreren Schritten aus Linolsäure. Dabei wird die Kohlenstoffkette durch β-Oxidation verkürzt. Der direkte Vorläufer des δ-Decalactons ist die 5-Hydoxydecansäure, die unter Ringschluss innermolekular verestert wird.
Industriell kann δ-Decalacton zum Beispiel durch Fermentation aus Massoia-Öl, einem Öl aus der Rinde des tropischen Baumes Cryptocarya massoia, hergestellt werden.

δ-Decalacton (2) wird industriell auch synthetisch hergestellt werden. Es entsteht durch die Oxidation von 2-Pentylcyclopentanon (1) mit einer Peroxycarbonsäure (Baeyer-Villiger-Oxidation). Die Konfiguration des Ketons bleibt dabei im Lacton erhalten.

Eigenschaften

Aromaeigenschaften
Der Geruch und Geschmack der beiden Enantiomere unterscheiden sich nicht stark voneinander. Wie bei allen Aromastoffen ist die Wahrnehmung unterschiedlich. δ-Decalacton wird in Geschmack und Geruch als kräftig, süß, cremig, kokusnussartig, fruchtig und pfirsichartig wahrgenommen. Andererorts wird das Aroma als milchig-sahnig beschrieben.

Die Geruchsschwelle von δ-Decalacton liegt bei 100 μg/kg Wasser.

Chemische Eigenschaften
Aus δ-Decalacton kann durch Ringöffnende Polymerisation der Polyester Poly-δ-decalacton hergestellt werden. Auch eine Copolymerisation mit anderen Monomeren ist möglich.

Verwendung
δ-Decalacton wird als Riechstoff in Parfums und in Butter-, Sahne- und Käsearomen eingesetzt.

Das Polymer Poly-δ-decalacton und einige Copolymere werden aktuell als mögliche bio-basierte Kunststoffe erforscht. Es wird ein Potential dieser Polymere im Bereich des Drug Targeting gesehen.

Q: How can I make my code control the keyboard to play another game? There's a puzzle game called Zen Puzzle Garden, and I just wrote a program that solves the puzzles in the game.  Right now, it does a brute force search for a solution, then spits out the necessary moves to solve the puzzle: up, down, left, and right.
But what I want is to run the game on my computer, and feed those moves from my program into the game, so I watch the game being solved automatically.
What is the easiest way to do this?
I should mention probably that my code is written in C.

A: System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait("String you want");

Or
System.Windows.Forms.SendKeys.SendWait(Keys.Up.ToString());

Note that if you enter a string it will send the whole string. So you should probably make a switch/case to see what Key you want to compute.

The hilly topology of the State with bountiful vegetation and deep terrain presents a beautiful landscape of trees. Trees of various species are found in those forests and also indigenous medicinal plants are growing wild in some of the forests. Some gifted local healers used these unknown plants for effective treatment and also curing various elements. The area under forest is between 36% to 42% of the total reported area of the State. The presence of such forests has become a wealth which the nature has graciously bestowed upon Meghalaya. But due to wanton destruction of forest products, this natural wealth has been robbed of its rich possession. The rampant cutting and felling of trees has not only depleted the forest area but also disturbed the ecological balance and the existence of flora and fauna is very much threatened. However, the ban imposed by the Supreme Court of India in 1996, has come as a boon so that those hills and hillocks which has become more or less barren may again drape with new green covers in in years to come
As started earlier, the land tenure system of the State is different from others. Therefore, the major portion of forest area is under the ownership and control of the community, local bodies and private parties or individuals. As such, Government controlled forests are well bellow 10% of the total forest area.
The Government of Meghalaya had taken up various programmes like Social forestry through Forest Department in respect of tree plantation and also afforestation of depleted forest lands. In this context, Soil Conservation also took up progammes of afforestation in those private forest area and barren lands of private parties in order to rejuvenate with vegetation. Further, afforestation progammes are very much essential when the cause of prevention of environment is a common concern. In this context, preservation of environment has gained not only the attention of Government and Social Scientist but also of other Non-Government Organisations at various fora. Therefore, augmentation of forest, particularly the catchments areas of important river sources would help not only checking soil erosion but conservation of water.
