Same Old SEIU
Posted on February 23, 2015 by usdr in Opinion/Editorial, Politics // 0 Comments
By Dave Bego, Special for USDR
Times have changed, but the SEIU's motives, and the means and tactics used to accomplish these motives — as documented in The Devil at Our Doorstep — remain the same. The SEIU's ultimate goal is to achieve its agenda of destroying America's Free Enterprise system and replacing it with socialism/communism. As seen in recent actions across the country, it is apparent the SEIU is still intent on fundamentally changing America, as is its cohort in the White House, President Obama (see Communism at the Highest Levels). The President continues to create a welfare state and to attempt to overwhelm the American economy. In his State of the Union Address, Obama's Middle-Class Pitch made it very clear, his agenda is to continue to pit Americans against each other (see Overwhelming the System). Together, the President and the SEIU are intent on collapsing the American system. They fervently believe that their combined O-Cloward-Piven Strategy Is Working, and that such strategy is what is best for America and the rest of the world.
While the President continues to foment racial divide through DOL investigations in Ferguson and New York the SEIU's Insidious Tentacles are involved behind the scenes in fostering these unrests so Eric Holder and the President, with the assistance of Al Sharpton, can paint America as a racist country. The stories below found in Phil Wilson's LRI Publication reveal tactics employed behind the scenes by the SEIU to facilitate the administration's agenda of Divide and Conquer.
First, with respect to New York: Robert Murray, a top 32BJ SEIU organizer earning a six-figure salary, has been charged with two felony counts and three misdemeanors, including resisting arrest, inciting to riot, and obstruction of governmental administration, for his participation in the December 13 assault of two NYPD police officers on the Brooklyn Bridge.
A week after the incident, Murray turned himself into the police. The union has reportedly put Murray on unpaid leave until the matter is settled. Elaine Kim, a spokesperson for the 32BJ SEIU, said "The union did not organize any official contingent to participate in the protests."
While that may be true, it is also true that the SEIU has a history of organizing protests without "officially" putting their name on it. Additionally, Mayor Bill de Blasio met with the group behind last month's New York City protests. Guess where the meeting was held? 1199 SEIU headquarters.
Second, the SEIU Has Dirty Hands in Ferguson: President Obama is utilizing the tried and true labor boss tactic of misdirection to take Americans' "eyes off the ball" regarding his Amnesty Order and, instead, has been directing attention to the recent events in Ferguson and New York City, as witnessed in a recent interview on BET where he said Racism is "Deeply Rooted" in U.S. Society.
The eruption of violence following the Michael Brown decision in Missouri and the Eric Garner decision in New York were blamed by the media on "outside agitators," people who descended on the scene to generate unrest, and publicity. But just who were these hoodlums? According to Bill O'Reilly, the SEIU was front and center in the escapade.
Knowing that the connections would be made sooner or later, SEIU is attempting to jump on the bandwagon calling for "racial justice" in relation to the two incidents. Not surprisingly, many of the "Black Lives Matter" protestors have also been actively protesting for the Fight for $15 movement, another protest project spearheaded by SEIU behind the scenes. Perhaps SEIU should be responsible to pay the bills for all of the property destroyed in the SEIU-fomented unrest and violence.
Third, the President's home state is providing payback and funds for the SEIU to basically nullify the freedom provided to home health care workers not to pay union dues by the U.S. Supreme Court:
After the Supreme Court's Harris v. Quinn decision in October, the state of Illinois enacted a policy requiring home-based caregivers to attend "training sessions" led by SEIU. The state is using taxpayer money to pay the union as much as $2 million to conduct these meetings – most of which are spent with SEIU officials "telling caregivers they will lose all benefits, including health insurance and the Medicaid stipend that helps them care for their loved ones, should they opt out of paying union dues." Illinois Policy Institute has responded by sending staff members to wait outside most of these meetings in order to inform caregivers that what SEIU is telling them is not the truth. SEIU, of course, complained to the state about Illinois Policy's presence, creating some situations where staff members have been threatened with arrest.
Fourth, with respect to the President's Amnesty program, as chronicled inDREAM Act, the Truth behind the Nightmare, the SEIU is being provided another payback in the form of potential future forced unionized workers as well as the opportunity to further create racial divide by giving them access to undocumented workers granted amnesty — The SEIU is taking advantage of President Obama's recent executive order to give working visas to some 4 million immigrants. Their hope is that some of these people who have been too afraid to sign up in the past won't be now.
There is no doubt the President and the SEIU are determined to fundamentally change the greatest country in the history of the world to impose their own view. America has provided more opportunity and increased the quality of life for more people, regardless of their background, than any country in history. Despite this, the President and the "same old" SEIU still believe they know best and are determined to destroy the American Free Enterprise system and impose socialism or communism (see SEIU Drops Mask, Goes Full Commie) upon this great country. The true agenda is control of the American people.

Recognizing Smart City Privacy Risks
The inherent threat the evolution of our living places
Our species has moved out of the trees onto the savanna – just to build concrete trees instead, in the form of cities. Although this may be a nutshell view of human history, the movement towards making our living places habitable is taking a new turn. We no longer live just in the physical world, we now live also in the cyber-physical, and this transforms how we live, work, and play in the form of the 'smart city' built on our own data.
The concept of the 'smart city' is recent. Reports are that it goes back to a conversation between the Clinton Foundation and Cisco in 2005. Supposedly, the tech vendor was asked to find ways to use technology for better sustainability within urban areas – in other words, go build a "connected urban development program". From this, the modern concept of a smarter place to live and work evolved, and data is the roots of its growth.
We Built This City on Data
The smart city is built on the data we generate. These data, however, may have a complicated life cycle that spans across hardware, household goods, cars, trucks, cameras, smartphones, fridges and even refuse bins. This is our cyber-physical future – a future that promises improvements in sustainability, of economics, and better environmental controls. Whatever we touch in our lives and work can be a conduit for data that then becomes part of the wider city data network. The goal is to gather, analyze and apply all this data in ways that produce greater efficiency and make our lives better. Such goals, however, will not automatically result in bettering our lives. Use models must be carefully scrutinized to ensure the data gathered do not inadvertently create unintended dangers.
When Good Data Turns Bad
We humans often try to run before we can walk. We plow ahead with technological innovations without considering negative side-effects that may accompany them. Security of the Internet of Things (IoT) is a case in point. Internet-enablement of devices was rushed to market by most manufacturers while security became an afterthought. A good example of this was the Samsung Smart Fridge, which, in 2015, was found to be vulnerable to a Man-in-the-Middle attack. Since then, inherent security issues within IoT devices have resulted in some of the biggest cyberattacks in history, such as the Mirai botnet. And now, vulnerabilities in our Wi-Fi networks such as the Krack attack adds fuel to an already stoked fire. Cyber-kinetic risk, where the digital world penetrates our physical one, is the future playground of hackers. New methodologies for finding and mitigating risks will test security professionals to the limit.
In addition to security implications, Internet-enablement and remote data collection pose privacy risks. Privacy concerns have dogged IoT devices built to sit in our homes – and spawned parents' common nightmare that their children's toys may secretly be recording conversations. And now, technology expands into our own bodies. In November, the FDA approved pills containing sensors to allow patients' drug use to be tracked. While comprehensive data is needed to build better cities, that data can also reveal sensitive knowledge about our personal lives.
Smarter Living – Smarter Risks?
Advances in technology coupled with population rise and urbanization challenges have created a perfect storm for the development of the smart city. Using data wisely is a way to manage increasingly difficult urban situations from traffic congestion to waste management.
Inherent risks, however, exist in moving to smart living. Let's look at just three smart city areas that have privacy issues:
Autonomous cars, vacuum cleaners, and personal privacy. Cars that understand the environment and our needs can alleviate traffic congestion and make that nightmare journey to work quicker. But these cars also know all your movements. Fancy a quick detour to a less than salubrious locale? Your connected vehicle will know all about it. In your home, spying through Internet-enabled devices is happening through products like Amazon Alexa. Even your vacuum cleaner can become a spy. Check Point recently found that the LG SmartThinQ app, which uses a camera to operate, could be hacked and used to spy on . Several states in the U.S, are adopting laws around the use of autonomous cars, but the data associated with their use is still nascent.
Drones, satellites, and surveillance. Back in 2007, Google's worldwide mapping caused an uproar because of perceived privacy issues. Use of drones for widespread monitoring presents even deeper because drones are much more efficient, autonomous and inconspicuous than the cars that Google used. Drones can serve important uses in a smart city, including monitoring transportation and pollution. But drones that sweep across our skies have obvious privacy implications for individuals, such as civil liberty and freedom of assembly. It isn't too far-fetched to imagine drones being used for this purpose and this is a concern within the EU's Article 29 Data Protection Working Party on drones. In another example, Singapore plans to track all cars to allow dynamic management of toll charging and parking. This system monitors by satellite rather than by drone, but the implications around tracking individuals are identical.
Smart waste management and impersonal privacy – the issue of re-identification. Waste management is a vital area of smart city life as our population explodes into the mid-21st century. Monitoring water, energy, noise, and air can help improve conditions and reduce pollution. The data generated and processed for this can be impersonal and at . Sophisticated techniques of re-identification, however, can take what seems like anonymous data back down to the individual level. Harvard University has shown, via their specialist Data Privacy Lab, just how easy it is to re-identify individuals, through even supposedly anonymized data. Harvard demonstrated how to use publicly available news items about hospitalizations alongside a ZIP code to identify an individual. In the Smart City, cyber-kinetic attacks, big data, and surveillance will make anonymization tricky, to say the least. Even our television viewing can be tracked. Researchers recently discovered that smart meters that track a home's electricity consumption can enable third parties to detect what a household watches by precisely measuring power consumption.
As we generate more data, and as we combine and analyze these data, privacy concerns increase. These data can provide valuable insights to help us manage the complex nature of our growing population and urbanization needs. We should not, and cannot, allow this pressing need for efficiency to undermine our privacy, though. Privacy is sacrosanct and, once lost, hard, if not impossible, to reclaim. As individuals, as organizations, as government bodies, we all need to understand and appreciate what data privacy means. We can make smarter cities, but, in doing so, we must also build in both technical and legislative structures that defend our privacy. Our next big step in human history needs to land on solid ground.

I am trying this exact code and seem to get a permission error when attempting to package the build. Wondering what deal is or if I am doing something wrong. Thanks.

EDIT: My end goal is to use different build scripts based on the env and eventually have different cordova plugin variables based on env. So either a fix to this or alternate method would help greatly.

I am seeing the exact same thing. Does anyone have any ideas?
How and where did you create that file? On Linux/macOS and set it to executable? Or on Windows where this doesn't matter?
Also, did you see this note on that documentation page?

The International Village Show
location GERMANY, Leipzig
region East
host GfZK
about the travel In 2015/2016 the converted Gartenhaus of Leipzig's Museum of Contemporary Art was the one place from where to follow what's going on in the villages: The International Village Show was Myvillages' first prominent museum solo exhibition. The Gartenhaus had no heating and the Bibliobox was set up in show 4 (Winter 2015-2016) in the main building of the museum. The library-team of the museum took care of a parallel book-shelf program that was set up by Vera Lauf.
about the host The Leipzig Museum for Contemporary Art was founded on 10th November 1990. At first, without its own premises, the organisation held exhibitions in the underground hall of the Alte Messe, in the Monument to the Battle of the Nations, and at other diverse locations around Leipzig. Since 1998 the GfZK-Villa by the Johannapark is the home of GfZK (www.gfzk.de) a few decades of commissions, an art collection, exhibitions, publications, art prizes and curatorial projects make it one of the leading institutes in contemporary art in Germany. The International Village Show was a mutual spacial experiment that was initiated by Myvillages with curator and director Franciska Zolyom and curator Julia Schaefer.

This is such a powerful article! Geoff Thomas shares seven things that are essential to any pastor's ministry (Preaching – The Method).
1. The work of the ministry will only be achieved by unfeigned belief in the truthfulness of the Bible.
2. The work of the ministry will only be achieved by enduring tough times.
3. The work of the ministry will only be achieved by toil.
4. The work of the ministry will only be achieved by dependence upon the Holy Spirit.
5. The work of the ministry can only be achieved in the defence of the gospel.
6. The work of the ministry will only be achieved by discriminatory preaching.
7. The work of the ministry will only be achieved by applicatory preaching.
Dr Harry L. Reader III is the senior pastor of Briarswood Presbyterian Church, a 4000 member church in Birmingham, Alabama. He is the author of Embers to a flame; How God Can Revitalize Your Church, is a Gospel Coalition Council Member, and teaches in various theological seminaries. Today we are delighted that Dr Reader has taken the time to answer our Ten Questions For Expositors.
The ministry of prayer, preaching of the Word and worship leadership with proper administration of the sacraments are my number one and overarching priority in life and ministry.
After my conversion I was asked to be the Lay Youth Director and the feedback from teenagers and adults was such that I was being challenged to consider if this was my calling in life, and then the growing joy in preaching and teaching God's Word for the equipping of His people and communicating the Gospel to the lost became a consuming joy.
Yes. I attempt to wordsmith it and then find ways to communicate it throughout the sermon.
One page of notes but I attempt to only use the notes if necessary for preciseness or as a reminder.
See the above…#5 The only addition is a preacher must avoid indolence, immorality and insubordination of any valid authority especially ecclesiastical authority while maintaining his focus, joy and passion for the preeminence of Christ to the Glory of the Triune God.
Continue to be aware of the need for prioritization, discipline and intentionality of redeeming the time to do what makes one most effective in their calling.

How Does a Lawn Thatcher Work?
By Laura Reynolds
Thatch as thick as a quarter will need treatment soon.
Thatch is composed of grass clippings, twigs and other organic matter that falls on the ground. A little thatch is good for a lawn--it shades the ground, keeps roots cool and conserves moisture. Most lawns develop a layer of thatch naturally, especially those planted in warm-weather grasses such as Bermuda, St. Augustine and zoysia; and cool-weather grasses such as bent grass and Kentucky bluegrass. A little thatch helps fertilize the lawn as it decomposes, but a thick layer forms a hard shell over the ground. When thatch gets more than 1/2 inch thick, it can strangle a lawn by locking out air, light and moisture, just like a thatched roof on a medieval cottage. Most lawns maintain a healthy layer of thatch with only a seasonal raking or a clippings catcher on a mower, but acidic soils tend to encourage the growth of the thatch layer, particularly if a thatch-producing grass is planted. Before removing a layer of thatch, check the acidity of the soil and make plans to adjust it after thatching, if necessary. If grass roots have grown into the thatch layer, gradual thatchings must coax the roots back down into the dirt.
Manual Thatchers
Thatchers come in several forms, from rake-like tools to pull out and loosen the layer, to gas and electric-powered machines that rake or cut the thatch. All of these machines basically score and lift, reducing the layer of thatch to a healthy thickness. The simplest of these are rakes with short, sharp-edged, rigid tines. They may look like a regular yard rake, or they may have a head of sharp, semi-circular blades. Both are pulled through the lawn; they catch the thatch with their sharp teeth and pull it loose. Care must be taken to avoid tearing into the grass roots in the soil, making the rake with the semicircular tines a better tool because it can be pulled at an angle that pulls the thatch from the top rather than from the ground up. After the thatch is pulled loose, it must be gathered with a regular lawn rake and removed from the lawn.
Mechanical Thatchers
Mechanical thatchers come in models that resemble lawn mowers or in large models made to pull behind lawn tractors. They have long, comb-like prongs or blades that revolve around an axle. Most have a height adjustment that allows the operator to set the machine to cut only the top of the thatch, leaving 1/4 inch or so to protect the grass crowns. Some bladed thatchers can be set at 90 degrees or slanted at a 45-degree angle to cut into the thatch from different directions, making it easier to tear it loose. Whatever type of machine is used, thatching is best done when the grass is slowing its rate of growth rather than just starting to grow (this varies in different growing zones). After de-thatching, the loosened leavings must be removed. In order to minimize shock, the lawn should be fertilized and watered thoroughly.

I am using a shortened name and one of my secondary email addresses as I don't know if you post emails on the blog and I want to keep this anonymous.
1. Although I am settled in US, I am of Indian origin, something which makes me a rare species in this context. I am assuming Ukrainian girls don't know as much about India as they know about US or Australia etc. Can this be a deal-breaker? Can I expect similar warmth of welcome?
2. I am 27 and never married or had kids. Most people I am seeing who go for these tours are in their 40s and 50s. Will that cause a problem for me? Do Ukrainian women like only older men?
3. Given the nature of this business, I am a little bound with suspicions. How do I know that a woman I meet, actually likes me or wants to have a happy and settled life with me and is just not after my money or green card? Are there some indicators?
4. The dating agencies arrange tours which are a few days in a city. Is that sufficient time to be able to start a serious relationship? Can you recommend some good agencies.
Question 1. Although I am settled in US, I am of Indian origin, something which makes me a rare species in this context. I am assuming Ukrainian girls don't know as much about India as they know about US or Australia etc. Can this be a deal-breaker? Can I expect similar warmth of welcome?
As you know, 95% of the population of Ukraine is white. Based on historical events, there are still some prejudices against non-Caucasian men in Ukraine and Russia. As you know, the former Soviet Union was closed for foreigners for a long time. The country became more or less a closed society; therefore, Russian and Ukrainian girls could date only their men.
But despite the fact that Ukraine is an independent and open country since 20 years, the Ukrainians still consider non-Caucasian people exotic. This means that non-Caucasian men are somewhat extraordinary for Ukrainian ladies.
For most women from Ukraine (particularly if they come from a small town), dating an African, Indian or a Chinese man can mean an unusual experience. It is still rarely that Ukrainian women date and get married to non-European or non-American men who are not white. From my personal experience, I can tell you, the appearance plays a secondary role in the (intercultural) relationship.
If a man has a good personality and self-confidence and he knows how to treat a Ukrainian lady he won't have any problems and difficulties to win the heart of a woman. Both parties (both men and women) need to show more tolerance and sensibility towards their cultures. Nowadays, we are extremely focused on the appearance and the race that we forget what things are really important in our life.
Question 2. I am 27 and never married or had kids. Most people I am seeing who go for these tours are in their 40s and 50s. Will that cause a problem for me? Do Ukrainian women like only older men?
I do not think that your age will cause a problem to find a woman for marriage. Ukrainian women do not like only older men, you have a good chance to find a woman in Ukraine for marriage and life.
Question 3. Given the nature of this business, I am a little bound with suspicions. How do I know that a woman I meet, actually likes me or wants to have a happy and settled life with me and is just not after my money or green card? Are there some indicators?
A lot of Western men are wondering whether socials are a trustworthy method of finding a real woman from Ukraine and Russia. I guess yes it is possible. Some of my readers tell me that they have been on a social in Ukraine and had great time there. However, you have to remember that this process is not cheap and does not guarantee success.
In my opinion, the biggest advantage of these romance tours is that you have the chance to meet many ladies in a very short period of time versus going to a matchmaking agency in Ukraine and having to spend the time of setting personal one-on-one meetings with them.
As for me, you cannot start a serious relationship during a romantic tour in Ukraine. But you can meet someone, a special woman, with whom you can communicate and develop something serious. A serious relationship takes time and you should be patient.
I could recommend you one of the most famous and professional romance tour operators, namely: A Foreign Affair (LoveMe.com). Foreign Affairs offers the choice way for anyone to meet thousands of beautiful foreign women. This tour company has been introducing men with exotic ladies for nearly two decades. Clients are sure to find the wife of their dreams when they rely on the services of Foreign Affairs. Tours are conducted around the world. Men can choose any country they want to visit.
Ukraine and Russia are some of the most popular destinations. These countries are known for their blonde beauties that are dying to meet a Western man. Advice and support are also offered by Foreign Affairs. This company does more than just help men meet the woman of their dreams. Guidance is offered to help men secure the necessary travel permits to enable their wives to move home with them. There is a host of red tape that is cut through with ease by the Foreign Affairs staff. Their employees know how to proceed and can help clients follow through with the entire process.

"Auteur filmmaking"- a term used to describe movies which are the product of the sole vision of their director- has been used to describe the process and works of such masters of cinema as Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, and Martin Scorsese since the concept originated in France in the 1940s. The term "auteur" has since been reserved for directors whose approach is so signature and iconic that their works would simply be altogether different had they been directed by anyone else. While the "single-vision" concept has resulted in some of the greatest films of all time, the approach has since taken a back seat to the contemporary "filmmaking by committee" style employed by many major studios (which is why most of the Marvel superhero movies- with some notable exceptions, such as Guardians of the Galaxy– have mostly been directed by newcomers or hired guns with experience in completely different genres, yet they all have the same unmistakable market-tested sense of humor and mind-numbingly unimportant finales). Fortunately, this doesn't mean that the auteur style is dead entirely. Some contemporary expert directors are currently turning in their best work, and any student of film knows them by name: Denis Villeneuve, Darren Aronofsky, Paul Thomas Anderson, Quentin Tarantino, Christopher Nolan, and David Fincher. read more

Quentin Tarantino Begins Work on Movie about Manson Family Murders
July 12, 2017 /0 Comments/in Horror Movies and TV Shows, News /by John Evans
Quentin Tarantino has begun work on his next project! According to THR, he is putting the finishing touches on a script for a movie about the real-life Manson Family Murders. The script focuses on Sharon Tate, the actress and wife of director Roman Polanski who was murdered by the infamous cult in 1969.
As usual, Bob and Harvey Weinstein are involved in the project (likely in producer or executive producer roles), and the group plans on seeking a major studio to co-produce and co-distribute the film (à la the production method used for Inglourious Basterds). THR's sources state that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Lawrence have already been approached to star in the film. The plan as of now is to begin shooting in the summer of 2018. read more

Actor Michael Parks Dead at 77
May 10, 2017 /0 Comments/in Horror Movies and TV Shows, News /by Nick Banks
Michael Parks, who experienced a career renaissance in recent years, died Tuesday at the age of 77.
Parks, a well known character actor with over 100 television and movie credits to his name, caught the attention of some of the best directors of the 1990's in the form of Quentin Tarantino, Kevin Smith, and Robert Rodriguez. Each director continued to use Parks in their films, in particular Kevin Smith. Smith gave Parks two starring roles in 2011's Red State and 2014's Tusk.
Smith praised Parks (through an Instagram post) stating that, "Michael was, and will likely forever remain, the best actor I've ever known" and that "He was, hands-down, the most incredible thespian I ever had the pleasure to watch perform." read more

Kurt Russell on Chris Pratt's Performances: "That's My Kinda Guy"
March 24, 2017 /0 Comments/in Horror Movies and TV Shows, News /by John Evans
Anyone who knows anything about Kurt Russell- the legendary actor behind classic John Carpenter heroes like Jack Burton, Snake Plissken, and R.J. MacReady- must've jumped right out of their seat when it was announced that he would be playing Chris Pratt's father in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2. He recently sat down with io9 to discuss his role in the upcoming film and to draw connections between his early work and Pratt's performances. Russell practically invented the "sometimes heroic/sometimes hilarious cool dude" archetype, so it makes perfect sense that he play "Ego" to Pratt's "Star-Lord." Turns out, Russell is just as aware of this as the rest of us. Here's what he had to say: read more

Bluff The Listener
BILL KURTIS: From NPR and WBEZ Chicago, this is WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME, the NPR news quiz. I'm Bill Kurtis. We're playing this week with Mo Rocca, Adam Burke and Negin Farsad. And you can spread your cream cheese on whatever you want. I'm spreading mine on a Sagal, Peter Sagal.
(SOUNDBITE OF APPLAUSE SOUND EFFECT)
NEGIN FARSAD: (Laughter).
Thank you, Bill. Right now, it's time for the WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME Bluff The Listener game. Call 1-888-WAIT-WAIT to play our game on the air.
Hi, you are on WAIT WAIT... DON'T TELL ME.
INDIRA RANGANATHAN: Hi, this is Indira from Tarrytown.
SAGAL: Oh, I know Tarrytown 'cause I used to travel across the Tappan Zee Bridge back when it was a death trap. What do you do up there?
RANGANATHAN: I do anti-bias work, and I'm a voice actor.
SAGAL: How very cool. Couple of questions. What sort of things do you do?
RANGANATHAN: So if you've ever been to a Pandora jewelry conference as a salesperson, you might have heard me (laughter). I've done Olay, Pandora jewelry. I've done MGM Resorts. I'm basically naming every audition and job I've ever gotten because they're very few and far between.
SAGAL: That's how it is, sadly, in the performing arts.
RANGANATHAN: Yes (laughter).
SAGAL: Well, it's nice to have you with us, Indira. You're going to play our game in which you must try to tell truth from fiction. Bill, what's Indira's topic?
KURTIS: I Retire.
SAGAL: Retirement, when you can kick back and never again have to talk to your ungrateful producers who frankly, you have been carrying on your back for years, though they will never admit it. Oh, I'm sorry. Anyway, this week we read about someone who is really enjoying the retirement lifestyle. Our panelists are going to tell you about it. Pick the one who's telling the truth - the WAIT WAITer of your choice on your voicemail. You ready to play?
RANGANATHAN: Yes, can't wait.
SAGAL: All right. Well, you don't have to, 'cause we'll start with Adam Burke.
ADAM BURKE: On paper, Simon Drayton (ph) is a typical retiree. He likes to get up early, is in bed around 8 pm and spends his day with a mixture of easygoing activities - "Murder, She Wrote" reruns on TV, a game of Pinnacle with his fellow residents, maybe a round of bingo before supper. All pretty normal, except for the fact that Drayton is 26 years old...
FARSAD: (Laughter).
BURKE: ...And still a full-time employee of a brand management firm in Manhattan. Drayton is just one of a number of Gen Z individuals who are members of the Early Sunset Retirement Group, a sort of baby boomer cosplay society operating in...
BURKE: ...Brooklyn, N.Y., that gathers at a special facility to emulate the retirement utopia of their grandparents. One member, 23-year-old Sonal Khan (ph), says the best part is playing mahjong with the other fogeys...
BURKE: ...At Early Sunset. It can get immersive, explains Early Sunset founder Josh Dutton (ph). You'll get these perfectly healthy 20-year-olds complaining about fictitious aches and maladies. It's a bit like a LARP, he said, using an abbreviation for live-action role play or, he adds, LAARP.
SAGAL: Twenty-somethings in Brooklyn pretending to be retirees and really enjoying it. Your next story of someone enjoying their retirement comes from Negin Farsad.
FARSAD: Cheryl and Edward Patton of Hamburg, N.Y., were mystified. They couldn't figure out who was throwing used coffee cups on their front yard. And it didn't just happen once or twice. It happened nearly every day for three years. The Pattons started collecting the offending coffee cups as evidence and actually installed cameras to try to catch the coffee cup perp. But he was good at flinging and evading the cameras. So a bunch of neighbors joined forces, setting up elaborate stakeouts until they finally got a license plate number.
The cops eventually managed to catch him in the act. And it turns out the coffee cups were being tossed by 76-year-old Larry Pope. Apparently, Larry and Cheryl were co-workers before their golden years. And on the job, Larry made it a practice to be constantly annoyed with her. He held on to that annoyance well after his retirement and right into his late 70s, like any healthy person would.
Some retirees like to travel or garden. But Larry spent three precious years of his retirement acting out a minor vendetta against an old co-worker via coffee cups. At the end of the day, Larry's impressive because he's really broadening the scope of #retirement goals.
SAGAL: A man who decided to spend three years of his retirement taking petty vengeance on an old co-worker he did not like. Your last story of a relaxing retiree comes from Mo Rocca.
MO ROCCA: When Louisa Henry (ph) was a young woman just starting at the Dexter shoe factory in Lawrence, Mass., her life was filled with promise, her cheeks the color of rose tips, her lips like red apples. With her delicate fingers, she attached the shoes eyelets. Her fiance, the strapping Buck Jordan...
BURKE: (Laughter).
ROCCA: ...Cut the tongues for the shoes. Oh, Louisa was happy. But soon Buck went mad from arsenic poisoning and drowned himself in the Merrimack River. The factory closed. And Louisa, in her despair, turned to the only other work she knew, crafting artificial flowers from wax and wire for Lawrence's ladies of fashion to wear. But, eventually, she went blind and the Convent of St. Leo's...
ROCCA: ...Gave her a room in the basement, which is where Louisa discovered her retirement passion. She feels around for dust bunnies, which she shapes into holiday toys. I turn dust bunnies into toy bunnies, blind old Louisa says meekly.
ROCCA: Each Christmas, the people of Lawrence, a goodly people, line up...
ROCCA: ...To buy these clumps of dust from Louisa. Everyone plays along, even the people with severe allergies.
ROCCA: Because Louisa has had a very hard life. And she deserves to believe that her clumps look like bunnies.
SAGAL: All right, Indira. We read about one of these retirees. From Adam Burke, a 20-something who's not really retired but is enjoying it now anyway at retirement camp in Brooklyn; from Negin, a man who has spent his retirement throwing coffee cups for three years into the yard of an old co-worker; or from Mo, the Dickensian tale...
SAGAL: ...Of the lady from Lawrence, Mass., who spends her golden years making bunnies out of dust bunnies. Which of these is the real story of retirement we found?
RANGANATHAN: I feel like it's Adam's, but I'm going to go with Mo just 'cause I want it to be Mo's, and I know it's not.
SAGAL: You're going to go with Mo. All right.
SAGAL: I admire that. I absolutely admire that. To bring you the correct answer, we spoke to someone involved in this real retirement.
EDWARD PATTON: About three years ago, we began to see a steady procession of cups, one a day. And it would appear it was somebody with an issue with my family.
SAGAL: That was Ed Patton, the man who was on the receiving end of the avalanche of cups that came over his fence once per night for three years. You may even have known this, but Negin had the real answer. Mo, however, in addition...
SAGAL: ...I think to touching us deeply in our hearts lied. And of course, you gave him a point.
ROCCA: Indira, I'm going to send you a wax-and-wire flower.
SAGAL: Indira, thank you so much for playing with us. It's a delight to talk to you. We'll listen for you the next time we hear somebody going on about Oil of Olay.
RANGANATHAN: Great. Thank you so much. Thank you so much.
ROCCA: Bye, Indira.
SAGAL: Bye-bye.
RANGANATHAN: Bye.
BURKE: Bye.
FARSAD: Bye, Indira.

"Selling Sunset" Season 5 Is Here
Everything We Know About "Selling Sunset" Season 5
We'll finally get a look into Chrishell and Jason's relationship!
By Kelly Allen and Nathalie Kirby Published: Apr 22, 2022
This article was originally published on March 22, 2022; it has since been updated to reflect new information.
Selling Sunset has easily become a favorite for luxury home obsessives and reality TV fanatics alike. For the uninitiated: The reality show follows the real estate brokers of the Oppenheim Group in Los Angeles, California, as they juggle multi-million dollar listings as well as their whirlwind personal lives. The series stars real estate agents Chrishell Stause, Christine Quinn, Heather Rae El Moussa, Mary Fitzgerald, and Amanza Smith—to name a few. Now, if you breezed through the first four seasons, you're probably wondering what's next. Here's everything we know about the show's fifth season.
When will the fifth season of Selling Sunset air?
Netflix announced the show's renewal for a fourth and fifth season at the same time back in March 2021. In March 2022, Netflix finally announced the season's official premiere date: April 22, 2022.
Who will be on the next season?
When Netflix renewed Selling Sunset for two seasons, it announced a single cast list for both: Jason and Brett Oppenheim, Chrishell Stause, Christine Quinn, Mary Fitzgerald (and Romain Bonnet), Heather Rae El Moussa, Amanza Smith, Maya Vander, and Davina Potratz. In season four, the show introduced newcomers Vanessa Villela and Emma Hernan, who will also return for the latest season. But that's not all—luxury real estate agent, Chelsea Lazanki, will join the existing cast for season five.
A few changes that might lead to seeing less of the show's current stars? For starters, Brett Oppenheim quietly left the Oppenheim Group in-between seasons to run his own brokerage similarly named Oppenheim Real Estate. Davina also left to pursue a new role at competitor company Douglas Elliman. Oh, and the Oppenheim Group now has an office in Newport Beach, California, which Heather Rae El Moussa now works out of. While all of these changes didn't prevent them from appearing in season four, it's unclear how they'll affect season five.
What can we expect to see in Selling Sunset season five?
We'll get the first real look into Chrishell Stause and Jason Oppenheim's seven-month relationship. Mary Fitzgerald confirmed the news to Metro:
Without giving away too much, it's hard to, it's hard to say/to explain it, but it's gonna be pretty shocking to see some of the things that have happened. I think Jason and Chrishell came out with their relationship in between seasons four and five. So, you won't see that on season four, but you will in season five.
In fact, the first episode of season 5 begins with a glimpse into Chrishell and Jason's relationship, along with Chrishell mentioning how easy things are between them because they've known each other for so long, so she doesn't have to hide anything about herself with him.
As for other details, only time will tell! We'll keep updating this post as we learn more about Selling Sunset season five, so make sure to check back.
Love knowing what your favorite stars are up to? Same. Let's keep up with them together.

Xiamen Air passenger jet skids off runway in Manila in torential rain
- A Monitor Report 18 Aug, 2018 | 1864 Views|-+
A Xiamen Airlines Boeing 737-800 is pictured next to airport perimeter fence after overshooting the runway at Ninoy Aquino International airport in Paranaque, Metro Manila in Philippines, August 17, 2018. [Reuters]
A detached engine of the plane is pictured on the tarmac after the passenger jet skidded off the runway. [Reuters]
Manila, Philippines: A passenger plane operated by China's Xiamen Air veered off a rain-soaked runway after landing at Manila's main airport in the Philippines' capital, disrupting flight schedules on August 17 due to a temporary runway closure.
All 157 passengers and eight crew aboard Xiamen Air Flight 8667 escaped unhurt, only a few passengers sustained bruises but all those were safe and were taken to an airport terminal, where they were given blankets and food before being taken to a hotel, airport general manager Ed Monreal told a news conference.
The Boeing 737-800, managed to touch down close to midnight amid a downpour after aborting an initial attempt to land due to poor visibility, according to Philippine officials, who expressed relief that a disaster was avoided.
The airliner lost contact with the tower as it rolled off the runway into a rain-soaked field, where one of the plane's engines and wheels got ripped off before everyone onboard scrambled out through an emergency slide, the officials said.
Images of the plane operated by Xiamen Air, a subsidiary of China Southern Airlines, showed it next to an airport perimeter fence with the left wing touching the ground. The plane "misapproached" on its first attempt to land and lost contact with the control tower on the second attempt when it skidded off the runway after touching down, said Ed Monreal, the general manager at Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Shaken by the experience and drenched by the downpour, the passengers and crew of Xiamen Air Flight 8667 were taken to an airport terminal, where they were given blankets and food before going to a hotel, airport general manager Ed Monreal and other officials said.
The plane "misapproached" on its first attempt to land and lost contact with the control tower on the second attempt when it skidded off the runway after touching down, said Ed Monreal, the general manager at Ninoy Aquino International Airport.
Investigators retrieved the plane's flight recorder and will get the cockpit voice recorder once the aircraft has been lifted to determine the cause of the accident, Sydiongco said.
TV footage showed the plane slightly tilting to the left, its left badly damaged wing touching the ground and its landing wheels not readily visible as emergency personnel examined the aircraft. One of the detached engines and landing wheels lay a few meters (yards) away.
The plane failed to land at first apparently due to poor visibility that may have hindered the pilots' view of the runway, Director-General of the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines Jim Sydiongco told reporters. The plane circled before finally landing near midnight but lost contact with the tower, Sydiongco said.
Ninoy Aquino International Airport, Manila's main international gateway, will be closed until Saturday morning while emergency crews use a crane to try to lift the aircraft, its belly resting on the muddy ground, away from the main runway, officials said. A smaller runway for domestic flights remained open.
Flights from the Middle East and the United States were diverted to the international airport at Clark, north of Manila, and to the central island of Cebu. The disruption caused by the accident led to chaotic scenes at Ninoy Aquino airport on Friday, as travelers waited in long queues outside the terminals and at check-in desks.
Nearly 80 international and domestic flights have been canceled or diverted due to the closure of the airport, which lies in a densely populated residential and commercial section of metropolitan Manila.

VIDEO: Passengers caught in violent pre-flight brawl aboard flight from Tokyo to LAX
By Jeffrey Thomas DeSocio
LOS ANGELES, Calif. (FOX 11 / AP) - A violent scene was recorded on cell phone when two men engaged in a brawl onboard a Japanese airliner getting ready to take off from Tokyo to LAX.
This happened at Tokyo's Narita Airport just before the ANA flight was getting ready to leave for Los Angeles on Monday night.
According to the man who shot this video...the 44-year old man in the red shirt was the instigator.
No one is sure what triggered the incident, but the man in the red shirt was believed to have been intoxicated and resisted when asked to leave the plane. He then reportedly struck a female passenger before a verbal argument began with the other man wearing a dark colored shirt.
After the scuffle, he eventually left the plane and was arrested and charged with assault by Japanese police.
The plane finally took off an hour and a half after the incident.

A powder mill was a mill where gunpowder is made from sulfur, saltpeter and charcoal.

Milling steps
Crude grinding and mixing operations such as the Frankford Powder-Mill of Philadelphia were a cottage industry until the industrial revolution brought improved product quality through the following procedures:

 Charcoal was often manufactured nearby from locally available trees, but the heating retorts were typically separated from the other buildings to minimize fire danger. Trees with low value as sources of lumber were debarked, dried, and cut to uniform length to fit into iron retorts with cast iron doors. The retorts were carefully packed to leave as little air space as possible, and the retort doors were closed and sealed with clay to prevent entry of air as the retorts were heated by external fires. Volatile gas generated by the heating process was vented through a small flue at the top of each retort. After the external fires were extinguished, the retorts were allowed to cool before the doors were opened to remove the charcoal.
 High purity sulfur usually required little preparation other than grinding to a powder. Separate grinding mills reduced cool charcoal and sulfur to fine powders.
 Crude saltpeter (KNO3) was dissolved in a pot of boiling water. After boiling, a small amount of floating glue might be added to the hot water to aid skimming off floating impurities. The hot solution was then carefully decanted to avoid suspending insoluble solid impurities settled to the bottom of the pot. The hot decanted liquid was distributed into shallow wooden vats where evaporative cooling would remove excess water. Purified potassium nitrate recrystallized while the cooling solution was gently agitated with broad hoes to prevent formation of large crystals.
 Powdered sulfur and charcoal were combined in appropriate ratios with moist saltpeter crystals, and the moist paste was mixed and compacted by kneading beneath heavy rotating wheels in a press mill.
 The compressed cake was transferred to a corning mill or kernelling mill to be cut into pieces of approximately correct size by bronze- or zinc-toothed wheels.
 Kernelling mill products were sorted by size using leather sieves.  Oversize product was returned to the kernelling mill, while undersize product was returned to the press mill.
 Sorted kernels of desired size were dried and mixed with graphite to be tumbled in glazing mill barrels. Graphite coating reduced the tendency of grains to stick together in storage.
 Glazed product was typically packaged in wooden kegs. Filled kegs were transported away from the mill as soon as possible to a powder magazine for wholesale distribution. The potential for destructive energy release from powder magazine accidents required the magazines to be distant from both the powder mill and other places of business or habitation.

Explosions

Gunpowder is very easily ignited by static electricity or lightning strikes, and most powder mills experienced occasional accidental explosions. Powder mill explosions typically destroyed an entire building and killed those working in the vicinity of the building. Explosions might throw flaming debris which could ignite other buildings. Successful mills were typically built as an arrangement of separate buildings to minimize the loss from any single building explosion. Buildings were separated by enough distance to minimize the risk of being damaged by an explosion in an adjacent building. Buildings were usually built of stone with one weak wooden wall and roof to direct the force and debris from an accidental explosion toward a river or an open field.

Power supply
Powder mills were originally powered by windmills, water mills or horse mills. Despite later availability of steam engines, the older power sources did not require a fire to generate steam, and avoided the possibility of sparks which might ignite the gunpowder. Some 20th-century powder mills used electric power. Before the availability of safe electrical power, some of the most successful mills were built along rivers where water could be distributed through a power canal to individual buildings and intermediate products could be floated from one building to the next. The power canal offered a supply of firefighting water, and the adjacent river was a relatively safe direction to focus explosion debris. Where water transport was impractical, intermediate products were often transported in wagons pulled by draft animals. The wagons were often built entirely of wood held together with wooden pegs, and draft animals were usually unshod to avoid sparks from steel shoes or nails.

In the United States
The 1810 census reported 208 powder mills in the United States. In 1802, the DuPont family started their industrial enterprises in the United States by building the Eleutherian Mills on the Brandywine Creek in Delaware. Four mills were manufacturing 69 percent of United States gunpowder when gunpowder production peaked during the American Civil War. They were the DuPont mill, the Hazard Powder Company of Hazardville, Connecticut, the Oriental Powder Company of Windham, Maine, and the Laflin Powder Company of Newburgh, New York. The Confederate Powderworks of Augusta, Georgia produced 6,000 tonnes of gunpowder from 1862 to 1865, but was dismantled after the war. The Laflin company merged into the Laflin & Rand Powder Company after the war, and with the other three large northern mills formed the United States Gunpowder Trade Association in 1872 including the American Powder Mills of Maynard, Massachusetts, the Austin Powder Company of Glenwillow, Ohio, and the Miami Powder Company of Goes Station, Ohio. Most smaller mills were unable to compete with this trade association, popularly known as the powder trust; although regionally important mills including the California Powder Works of Santa Cruz, California, the Equitable Powder Company of East Alton, Illinois, and the Great Western Powder Works of Kings Mills, Ohio successfully transitioned to manufacture of smokeless powder cartridges. As smokeless powder and high explosives replaced gunpowder for most purposes, DuPont became the major manufacturer of United States gunpowder until discontinuing production in 1971. Subsequent production for use in pyrotechnics and antique firearms has been undertaken by smaller firms whose operations are often ended by the persistent hazard of accidental explosions.

Europe
Notable European mills include:
 Ballincollig Royal Gunpowder Mills, Cork, Ireland
 Faversham explosives industry, Faversham, England
 Grenelle Mill - France
 Poudrerie nationale de Vonges, Vonges, Côte-d'Or, France
 Waltham Abbey Royal Gunpowder Mills, Waltham Abbey, Essex, England

Reduced availability of, and access to, affordable accommodation coupled with housing benefit reductions, particularly for single people under the age of 35, make it inevitable that more people will require shared accommodation as a financially viable solution to their housing needs. However, there is a reluctance to enter into sharing, particularly with 'strangers', and many members of vulnerable groups face challenges such as living with others, gaining access to the private rented sector, and sustaining tenancies. In response to these challenges, the Sharing Solutions Programme, run by Crisis and funded by the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), recently piloted, developed and promoted new models for establishing successful sharing arrangements for single people in housing need. This paper draws on findings from an evaluation of that programme, alongside the literature on shared accommodation, to identify a number of potential barriers to making shared accommodation work, and ways in which these may be overcome. A range of factors are identified as pivotal in the success of sharing in the private rented sector, including changing perceptions of sharing, managing shared properties and supporting tenants. While the paper concludes that sharing can be a viable option for some, it simultaneously recognises the significant resources required to make it successful for tenants.
