Investors generally sign contracts when they begin investing with brokers and brokerage firms. These legally binding agreements include an explicit or implied duty to comply with the rules of the SEC and FINRA, as well as the laws and regulations of other federal and state securities regulators. Such rules include the prohibition of brokers recommending unsuitable investment products or strategies or making misleading communications. Brokers or firms who violate these rules may have breached their contracts with their investors, giving rise to a claim for damages.
Additionally, oral promises may sometimes rise to the level of a binding contract. The contracts investors sign to begin a relationship with a broker and brokerage firm include an implicit duty of good faith and fair dealings. If the broker, brokerage firm, or investment advisor breaches the terms of the contract, they may be liable for losses that the breach caused the investor.

For its lasting place in pop culture history, it is surprising that The Pink Panther was birthed from an essential mistake. Originally wrought as a vehicle for star David Niven, it was the film that made Peter Sellers a star—in fact, he's so good that he is arguably the only thing that makes the supposed comedy watchable. Niven's cat burglar brings the expected class but very little sense of levity, worsened by the stiff relationship with Claudia Cardinale. Much of the film feels similarly labored and grasping—if the surrealism and heavy doses of nostalgia in the climax bring some life (everything about the gag with the zebra costume is a masterpiece of low-brow comedy), it doesn't account for the preceding tedium. Sellers is the only actor who really gets to be funny, and his smallness as a performer suggests lessons taken from the great reactionary comics like Buster Keaton. If Sellers' pratfalls are funny, the fact that he ignores the absurdity of each of them makes them hysterical. He is the least grandstanding of comics—when he shrugs his shoulders to the final notes of a song, it seems like a lived-in gesture from Inspector Clouseau himself rather than a comedian using the opportunity for a small physical gag. Director Blake Edwards similarly shows an understated confidence in his directing, with the Fran Jeffries musical number being staged with a masterful precision in composition rather than flashy camera tricks or an overuse of editing. Despite the talents involved, however, the material is just a slog.

The corporate media's coverage of the destruction, whether biased towards the conservative right or the progressive left, has blamed white "Antifa" political activists, or bizarrely "white supremacists", as guilty of instigating and perpetuating the robbery and violence during the otherwise "peaceful protests". They do not want to touch upon the idea that the violence being perpetrated by black people is motivated by any sort of racial and political ideology of their own, and the right cannot admit these people have their own agency, or group interests, either.
The left tells us they can explain away the disparities between the races within the prism of its Marxist "victim" and "oppressor" narrative. They tell us the black people are simply the victims of systemic racism, and all of the European traditions, values and ideals responsible for the creation of America are, in fact, just an expression of white supremacy. Therefore, on these grounds, the riots are ethically justified. The conservative right has been powerless to counter this idea because of its own liberal framework.
Within a liberal, egalitarian society, the left is free to forcefully make their subversive Marxist arguments and pursue its own agenda guilt-free. Meanwhile, the right is forced to back itself into a corner, sit on its hands, and repeat, ad nauseum, that biological, racial differences simply do not meaningfully exist in a liberal, egalitarian society, like America, therefore they have "won" the logical argument by being more rational.
America isn't currently on fire because of Marxism, or Antifa, or the left, but it is on fire because America's own liberal ontology is based on the lie of egalitarianism. Biological reality is visiting us. America does not know how to deal with this lie within the liberal paradigm. Whatever harsh methods the state should implement to restore law and order and to prevent its own cities from burning to the ground are strictly off-limits because they would be inherently illiberal. For decades, the left has enjoyed the freedom to paint the black, downtrodden protesters as oppressed victims, therefore, to act illiberally now against these people, to preserve the country, would break the very idea of "America".
When I want to present my political views, I am constantly required to enter into a difficult dialogue about the holy trinity of ultimate European (read: white) evil: the holocaust, colonialism and slavery. This white guilt, they regularly remind me, can never be cleansed from my soul. Even if I try to atone by complying with the latest humiliating act du jour - such as the trending #takeaknee gesture. Even if I actively work against my own ethnic group's interests and start welcoming migrants at the border. Even if I publicly reject and denounce my own national identity.
Ultimately, in a liberal society, I will never be allowed to advocate for my own group interests. This is because if the liberal system was forced to admit that racial differences actually existed in the first place, and in the real world different ethnic groups naturally pursue their own ethnic group interests as an evolutionary strategy, then their whole ideological superstructure comes crumbling down.
Does the conservative right's obsession with upholding values of "liberal democracy" and egalitarianism, seemingly above all else, make a country more open to subversion? Can a political party counter the left's ideas, or conserve anything at all, under a framework of liberal egalitarianism? At this point it seems impossible to view America as anything other than a cautionary tale.

And since all water is poisoned we'd need to report to special municipal water stations for drinking water and to bathe. The blame for this crisis, of course, lies with President Trump. Somehow.
There may actually be some basis to this. In times past, I have posted here that if you look at most of the blue counties, they are located along major bodies of water, being rivers, lake, and the oceans. The water treatment process or underlying components of the water seems to have affected the minds of the voting populace, and not for the better.
That said, the fact that I can say, with evidence, that this was a rather standard protocol used by MPD to detain people, means it's plausible that he had no intention to kill him. That's all that is required. Reasonable doubt. It exists because this was part of the SOP.

This entire article is worth reading. In it, Chauvin's background and other side jobs strike me as being like Sheriff Behan in Tombstone said of himself. "A man of many parts" as he rattles off his own CV and side jobs.
I do disagree with you about the other cops though. Unless the department included sitting on the rest of the body as part of the training, those guys (again, IMO) are the ones who primarily killed Floyd, and they were out of policy.

All smoke and mirrors until Election day 2020.
I think that Corona wasn't going very well, the big L Left realized that most of their scare tactics were no longer working and their politicians were too slow to open up given how mild Covid-19 ended up compared to predictions. They wrecked the economy.... Uh OH... it backfired in an election year.... Not that COVID-19 wasn't real, it was worse than the flu and should be taken seriously, but we were just at the point where people were fed up with the "red/yellow/green" rollouts and the unfair persecution of small businesses... something had to be done quick to get everyone's mind off of it.. Murder hornets didn't work, U.S. beekeepers it turns out are smart people and squashed that with rebuttals almost instantly.
Then a bad cop who happens to be white kills a man who happens to be black through inappropriate use of force and it's the perfect story to shift to the next pandemic: Systematic racism in America by cops.
People are cooped up, 20 something year old kids who grew up without male role models and lack of direction are frustrated, the people in the "hood" are frustrated, people who were born with opportunities other people don't have because of their parent's work feel guilty and are frustrated, everyone is frustrated, perfect time to go to a demonstration and get involved with something to provide you with self worth, The world is messed up bro, we need "change", lets get involved... the idea of it is intoxicating. But not everyone in that peaceful demonstration has the same ideas of what a good time is and for some of them, to quote the popular sublime song 1992, "It's about coming up and staying on top, it's about 187 on a Mother F#$%ing Cop"... "Perfect!" Soros thinks, chaos again. Even more perfect...the cops involve get acquitted and it's round 2.... either way racial relations are set back 40 years, which fits the divide and conquer model nicely.
Once again however, I predict most people will soon realize once the riots / protesting calms down that there may be some, but there is not general systematic racism between cops and criminals in our country anymore. There are simply bad employee's everywhere and non-perfect people everywhere, and cops DO provide some useful purpose by serving to buffer criminal elements of our society. Ending the implementation of racism on all levels is a noble cause and I fully support it, nobody chooses what color they are born or where they are born or who they are born to, all we can do is live our lives, and nobody should be judged for things they can not control...but... we should be judged for things we CAN control, and if you are an inner-city thug or a cop or a wealthy white media conglomerate owner you should be held responsible for your actions. The big question is why RIGHT NOW... because, a certain group needed chaos and shiny things to distract everyone from what they did.
My prediction is that something happens next, could be global warming or some kind of environmental disaster, maybe COVID-20, Islamist extremism (Notice how quickly the attack on our base went away), something that brings the left together will be the next hot issue immediately following the current pandemic.
I'm not anti-democrat, I have some good democrat friends with good hearts, but I think the left is agitating and being agitated because they are not in office and those that want power find them convenient pawns.

Legal intent is distinct from motive, which need not be proven. Chauvin intentionally compressed Floyd's neck with his knee, knowing, given all the circumstances, the potential consequence could be death. The prosecution need not prove Chauvin wanted Floyd to die, but only that it was a reasonably foreseeable consequence.
For argument's sake, give Chauvin the benefit of the doubt to the point he's told Floyd has no pulse at the wrist, and he sees Floyd is motionless, and is silent. One is hard-pressed to conjure an innocent explanation for Chauvin continuing to compress Floyd's neck in that position for nearly three minutes.
Now, as to causation....

If you think about it. The economy has been weakened by successive Government policies. The result of locking entire economies down was inevitably riots and chaos.
Rather than some organised coup, isn't it really just a lot of bad ideas promoted by intellectual and carried out by the Government leading to societal collapse ?
The Government education system on its own is responsible for most of it. They keep recycling bad ideas, inculcating children with the idea that they are victims, that reason is hopeless, that they should stop thinking and emote. The pupils become the teachers and the whole thing keeps rolling along like a passenger liner headed for an iceberg. Someone always thinks there is a guy at the wheelhouse and a lookout in charge of spotting danger, but in reality it's not being steered at all. Only when the passengers find themselves facing drowning in icy water do they begin fighting over the life boats. They no longer know if it's the best thing to do, only that it's some thing to do and with reason having vacated their minds, it comes down to clubs and fists.
The towns and small cities in my area have had protests and I got wondering about what percent of the people are participating. Rough numbers indicate less then 2% for some, less then 1% for most.
Which just shows how true is the adage: The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Of course there's also The nail that sticks up gets hammered down.

Chauvin intentionally compressed Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes while Floyd was rear-handcuffed, prone, saying he could not breathe, and eventually displaying the physical manifestations of dying—no pulse, dissipating movement, and eventual silence. Legal intent is easily inferred from those facts.
Apparently darrow is an attorney in addition to an infectious disease specialist.
The charges, as amended, specifically obviate intent as a factor: Second Degree Murder - Unintentional - While Committing A Felony(assault, in this case). He's still being charged with Third Degree Murder - Perpetrating Eminently Dangerous Act and Evincing Depraved Mind, and Second Degree Manslaughter - Culpable Negligence Creating Unreasonable Risk as well.
There is no need to prove intent in this case. Full disclosure, I am not a lawyer (but I work with lawyers) so my opinion isn't worth much.
Side note, other video angles show that in addition to Chauvin's knee on Floyd's neck, another officer had a knee in his back while a third held his legs down. Both the ME's report and the independent autopsy, while they disagree on some points, agree that the knee in the back was a significant factor in his death.

But also lots of things you probably love.
Roh Habibi is going places. As we watch.
Million Dollar Listing: San Francisco is a funny, lively, easy-on-the eyes look at three local boys making good on the American dream right here in our beautiful city. Also, Million Dollar Listing: San Francisco is a nihilistic indulgence in the diabolical economic powers overrunning us all and smothering the future of our desperate, embattled soul and culture.
We're feeling a little conflicted about this one, in case you can't tell.
The show, which we previewed last night at the Googleplex in Mountain View and premieres on Bravo July 8, chronicles the adventures of three real, hightly photogenic realtors competing to close bigger and bigger home sales in the Bay Area's trendiest neighborhoods. We see them pursue evasive buyers and disarm the meddling of big-money sellers while also learning who they are and what they want out of life. TV audiences will love it just as much as they do the other programs in the Million Dollar Listing suite of shows (set in LA, New York, and Miami), provided you don't consider the market portrayed to be a terrifying dragon carrying away everything you love.
For those people, it gets a little awkward.
This show loves the tech boom, loves the housing boom, loves the Bay Area's one percent, and isn't shy about it. If you do too, great. If not, strap in. As viewers, we're meant to root for the realtors to push these prices ever higher, until they can almost touch the sun. But for a lot of us, it's impossible to get through the series opener without feeling a terrifying spinning sensation as the price of a Noe Valley house climbs by hundreds of thousands of dollars in the space of a few seconds, before our horrified eyes. For anyone even mildly pinched by the apocalyptic leaps in the cost of living around here, it's like a front row seat to your own wake.
On the other hand, none of that is the fault of the show or the three men at the heart of it: Justin Fichelson, Roh Habibi, and Andrew Greenwell. All three are locals with sympathetic and inspiring life stories. Fichelson was born and raised in San Francisco, which he believes is one of the reasons he was cast. Habibi's family fled war-torn Afghanistan while he was a child, and he looks on his financial success as a validation of their sacrifices. Greenwell grew up in a politically conservative Florida town and came to San Francisco in part for the freedom of our open, gay-friendly culture (tale as old as time).
We don't mind seeing these guys get the Glengarry leads. More power to them. It's just, you know, a little existentially harrowing if you think too hard about it. We're guessing this isn't the first time it's come up, because at the preview all three were pretty quick off the block on the subject.
"I remember Dolores Park when I was a kid: needles and drug dealers everywhere," says Fichelson. "It's a nicer place now because of the things happening in the city. Everyone complaining is more than happy to appreciate those improvements."
We get it: They're just normal guys who want families and homes of their own and worked hard enough to be here when this blizzard of cash hit their industry. And the show, though as fluffy and disposable as any 50 minutes of reality TV ever to stream into your eyeballs, is cheeky and easily bingeable and sure does make the Bay Area look like a billion bucks (upgraded from a million to adjust for inflation). We like it.
It's just…dear God, everything costs seven figures, and the city is getting whiter, and we're still not over the Lexington closing and even the mummy house is selling for 900 grand, and are the walls closing in on us? We're pretty sure the walls are actually, physically closing in on us right now, and we can't breathe, there is no breathing going on right now, at all.
But we're fine. We're a strong community and we can all get through this. Markets are going to do their thing no matter what. A little indulgence might actually be good catharsis.
If not, breathe into this bag.

Quo Vadis, Mother Russia?
May 22, 2022 /6 Comments/in General/by Pat Buchanan
Where does Mother Russia go from here? Bitter at their losses in the Cold War and post-Cold War years, many Russian nationalists are urging the regime to align with today's great power antagonist of the United States, Xi Jinping's China.
"The demise of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical catastrophe of the century," said Russia's new ruler Vladimir Putin in his 2005 state of the nation address.
"As for the Russian people," Putin went on, "it became a genuine tragedy. Tens of millions of our fellow citizens and countrymen found themselves beyond the fringes of Russian territory."
From Putin's standpoint, the statement was then and remains today understandable.
Consider. When Putin entered his country's secret service, Berlin was 110 miles deep inside a Soviet-occupied East Germany. Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria were member states of the Warsaw Pact.
Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia were republics of the USSR. Ukraine was the most populous and ethnically closest of the Soviet republics to Russia itself.
And today? Berlin is the capital of a united, free and democratic Germany, a member of NATO, that is beginning a rearmament campaign triggered by Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania and Bulgaria are members of the U.S.-led North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Former Soviet republics Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia are also members of that Western alliance established to contain Russia.
Sweden and Finland, neutral through the Cold War, are applying for membership in NATO.
Ukraine, backed by the U.S. and NATO, is fighting a war to push the Russian army out of its territory, a war that has the support of almost every country on the continent of Europe.
Even the falls of the British and French empires at the end of World War II do not match as geo-strategic disasters the collapse of the Soviet Empire and breakup of the Soviet Union since the end of the Cold War.
How goes the Russian war in Ukraine launched on Feb. 24?
Russia has enlarged the territory it controls in Crimea and its Luhansk and Donetsk enclaves in the Donbas. And now, with the fall of Mariupol, Moscow controls the entire Sea of Azov and has completed its land bridge from Russia to Crimea.
But Russia has failed to capture and been forced by the Ukrainian army to retreat from Kyiv and Kharkiv, the largest cities in Ukraine, and Putin has seen his forces humiliated again and again.
Yet, withal, Russia today remains a great power.
The largest nation on earth with twice the territory of the U.S., Russia has the world's largest nuclear arsenal and exceeds the U.S. and China in tactical nuclear weapons. It has vast tracks of land and sits on huge deposits of minerals, coal, oil and gas.
But Russia also has glaring weaknesses and growing vulnerabilities.
While Putin has built up impressive forces in the Arctic, the Baltic Sea, with Finland and Sweden joining the Western alliance, is becoming a NATO lake. Russian warships sailing out of St. Petersburg to the Atlantic have to traverse the coastal defenses of 11 present or future NATO nations: Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Sweden, Poland, Germany, Denmark, Norway, Britain and France.
Among the questions that Russia, shrunken in so many ways from the great U.S. rival of the Cold War it once was, must answer is, "Quo Vadis?"
Where does Mother Russia go from here?
Bitter at their losses in the Cold War and post-Cold War years, many Russian nationalists are urging the regime to align with today's great power antagonist of the United States, Xi Jinping's China.
This is a recipe for a Second Cold War, but how would that war avail the Russian nation and its people?
In any Russia-China alliance, there is no doubt who will be senior partner. And it is not the U.S. that covets and wishes one day to control the resources of Russia from Novosibirsk to the Bering Sea.
Watch the Latest Videos on the Buchanan-Trump YouTube Playlist!
China's population of 1.4 billion people is 10 times Russia's. East of the Urals, China's population is 50 to 100 times the size of Russia's in Siberia and the Far East.
What of a U.S.-Russia detente as Moscow's future rather than Cold War II?
During some of the coldest days of the Cold War, U.S. presidents like Dwight Eisenhower, Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan sought to find common ground on which to stand with Russia to avoid conflict.
Ike invited the "Butcher of Budapest," Nikita Khrushchev, for a 12-day U.S. visit in 1959. Nixon initiated a "detente" with Leonid Brezhnev, who had ordered the Warsaw Pact to crush the "Prague Spring" in 1968. Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev negotiated the dismantling of an entire class of nuclear weapons in the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty.
Given the hostility Putin has generated by his invasion of Ukraine, Western leaders may be unable to bring Russia in from the cold. But if we isolate Russia, push it out of the West, Moscow has only one direction in which to go — east, to China.
In 230 years, the United States has never gone to war with Russia. Not with the Romanovs nor with the Stalinists, not with the Cold War Communists nor with the Putinists.
U.S. vital interests dictate that we maintain that tradition.

BEIR BUA says:
Russia has never had an emphasis on naval military power and Pat cannot bring himself to mention the work of JFK on US-Soviet nuclear weapons detente.
If you have read James Douglas's book JFK and the Unspeakable you must wonder- why not?
However, it is a terrible tragedy for Ukraine and The West that none of the others that he mentioned are not sitting in the Oval Office at present
Very articulate summary of the situation,
Biblical predictions suggest and alliance of Russia,Turkey,China -possibly India-and the Muslim countries in the final battle against the West (aka Israel),
Gheorghe-Ovidiu Stoica says:
Voice of reason. This is more or less the argument that Mearsheimer has made.
The anti-Russia obsession is geopolitically irrational, not in the interest of US, just as it is that of supporting Israel no matter what and this way fueling the anti-American sentiment in the whole Middle East ..(((but why these happen ?)))
Excuse my ignorance but if the country's manufacturing base is now in China how can the equipment being shipped to the Ukraine be replaced? Never mind finding spare parts to keep what remains running.
Travis R says:
Russia needs to step up the war a bit and take out all the US soldiers in Ukraine. Most of those appear to be in Kiev. Level the city.
Doug M. says:
I'm not going to waste my breath arguing troglodyte mainstream zombie narratives. Do yourself a favor and watch John Mearsheimer, Pulitzer prize winner on Ukraine and Russia. Also, watch a perhaps less popular ( being a liberal) and personally not my favorite Noam Chomsky on Ukraine. He too makes clarifies it well.


GIZ has had a presence in El Salvador since 1963. Currently 55 national and 11 international employees and 1 integrated specialist are working in the country (as of 31.12.2018). GIZ's primary focus in the country is to implement regional programmes.
El Salvador is the smallest country in Central America and also the most densely populated, even though around a quarter of the population lives and works abroad. More than 20% of its gross domestic product is made up of remittances from abroad. However, the population uses this money mainly for household spending rather than investing it. The country lies in a mountainous region and has limited agricultural land, virtually no raw materials and little industry. Most of the goods it needs have to be imported. The 'El Niño' weather phenomenon and the impact of climate change are exacerbating the situation. Along with economic and social factors, such as declining willingness on the part of companies to invest, low state revenues, and levels of violent crime that severely impede freedom of movement, these conditions pose complex challenges to development.
Many of these challenges can only be tackled through cooperation with neighbouring countries. Cooperation will also be crucial to making full use of El Salvador's potential, such as its large renewable energy resources. The country has, therefore, been actively committed to boosting regional integration. The Central American Integration System (SICA) was founded in 1991 and has its headquarters in San Salvador. SICA's mission is to promote sustainable economic, social, cultural and political development across the region. German development cooperation in El Salvador also takes a regional approach and has been cooperating intensively with SICA since 2006.
In addition, GIZ is implementing projects in the area of good governance, on prevention of youth violence and good financial governance.
In the area of environmental protection, GIZ is also implementing a regional project as part of the International Climate Initiative of the German Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety (BMUB).
A bilateral project carried out on behalf of BMZ is, meanwhile, providing advice on fiscal policy to the El Salvador Ministry of Finance.
In the context of existing projects and programmes, there is intensive collaboration with private sector companies and other donor countries and through triangular cooperation arrangements with Germany and Latin American partner countries.

The Bush Adminstration at Point Reyes Part II: Whatever happened to the Citizens Advisory Commission to the GGNRA & Point Reyes National Seashore?
After three decades of generally good relations between West Marin residents and the Point Reyes National Seashore, how did we end up with a park administration better suited to an autocracy than a democracy? Why does the general public now have only a perfunctory say when major park policies are set?
Frankly, the answer is politics, both Republican and Democratic.
Back in the 1970s, when the former program for managing the exotic-deer herds through culling was established, the public debated the alternatives, experts of various points of view spoke, and a consensus was reached to maintain the herds at 350 each. And where did all this happen? In public sessions of the Citizens Advisory Commission to the Golden Gate National Recreation Area and Point Reyes National Seashore.
Recognizing that the National Seashore and GGNRA were established to serve an urban population, Congress provided for local governments around the Bay Area to nominate most members of the commission, who then were appointed by the US Secretary of the Interior.
The commission required Congressional reauthorization every few years, and for almost three decades, Congress approved it. However, in 2002, its term expired, and with Republicans in charge of Congress and the White House, the commission was allowed to die.
"This time [then-Interior Secretary] Gale Norton (at right) and the Park Service said, 'It's been a very good commission for 29 years, but we don't need it anymore,'" noted former Commissioner Amy Meyer in an interview I conducted for Marinwatch.
Meyer of San Francisco and Ed Wayburn spearheaded creation of the GGNRA during the Nixon Administration and served throughout the commission's existence, along with Richard Bartke of El Cerrito, representative of the Association of Bay Area Governments.
National Seashore Supt. Don Neubacher, however, did not want one. As park spokesman John Dell'Osso acknowledged to me in 2004, the park administration had found the commission sometimes interfering with what park staff felt should be done. The Neubacher administration has further argued that local residents don't speak for all Americans. It's a specious argument since most park visitors are from the nine-county Bay Area and because people here are far more familiar with the park than people in other parts of the country, who typically know little or nothing about it.
Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey (at right), who represents West Marin, did introduce legislation to resurrect the commission, and it was attached to a House bill being pushed by now-Speaker Nancy Pelosi and others to acquire land in San Mateo County for the GGNRA.
The bill passed in 2005, but when it did, the rider resurrecting the commission was gone. What happened?
Meyer said she and other people went to Congresswomen Pelosi (at left) and Woolsey and asked that they drop the advisory-commission legislation.
They feared, Meyer explained, that the Bush Administration would pack the advisory commission with people who share his ideology.
"Having no advisory commission is better than having a bad one," Meyer added. "Gale Norton [who resigned last March] was a terrible Secretary of the Interior. No one wants to bring the commission back until 'W' is out of office.
Former Commissioner Meyer isn't necessarily against Neubacher's plan to eliminate non-indigenous deer, but she said that in deciding what to do about the deer, or a ranger's 2004 pepper-spraying scandal, or other matters, the commissioners could have been — as they once were — a crucial interface between the public and the Park Service.
The local citizens advisory commission to the national parks was not the only one that has not been reauthorized despite the fact that "to make a park responsible to the people is very important," she added. "It's happening all over…. We have an administration that doesn't believe in participatory democracy.
In short, thanks to the power struggle in Washington, residents of West Marin and the rest of the Bay Area must remain frustrated for two more years.
• When rangers run amok (e.g. extensively pepper-spraying innocent people who not surprisingly sue the Park Service and collect $50,000).
• When the National Seashore decides there's money to be saved by slaughtering majestic deer that have long been a part of Point Reyes and are beloved by much of the public. Ironically, settling with the pepper-spray victims cost the Park Service far more than a year's culling once did.
• When environmentally responsible mariculture is treated like a pariah.
Better days no doubt are coming to Point Reyes. In the meantime, here's a Valentine's Day heart from SparselySageAndTimely.com and a flock of Canada geese between my cabin and Inverness Ridge.

Infographic: Lifespan of a TV Show

Obviously, the infographic shown below doesn't depict the lifespan of every TV show (even with the exception of some shows on HBO). My So Called Life only lasted for one season (sadly). The Simpsons has been going for more than 20. Still, it's amazing how many television series do fit within the basic framework of the lifespan as described in this infographic.
The seven seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, we'd argue, match up with the infographic perfectly. (To the point that we wonder whether that was the inspiration for its artist). The West Wing fits the pattern too, as does Malcolm in the Middle, The Gilmore Girls and Boy Meets World. Each of those lasted seven seasons. (Star Trek: The Next Generation lasted seven season too, though we maintain they were consistently strong through at least the first six).
Even some television series that didn't make it to a seventh season fit with the basic infographic lifespan. Alias definitely plateaued in Season 3 and from there entered its downward spiral especially quickly. So did The Wire.

Q: Unable to connect to the  element in a youtube iframe So, I'm trying to use the Web Audio API's createMediaElementSource() method to connect to the video element in a youtube-provided iframe. I want to collect and use the audio from the provided video as an audio source for the Web Audio API. However, I'm finding myself unable to access any of the elements through javascript (I'm using angular on this project). It appears like I can't manipulate the iframe, as it's hosted on youtube's server. But all I want to do is use the output of that video's audio signal as an input for the Web Audio functionality. To do that, you normally just pass in your video element to that method I linked above. But I'm unable to locate/pass in the video element using javascript. I can find the video when I open up my console, so I feel like there should be a way for me to target it in my code, but so far I've had no luck.
Can any of you help me figure out how to do this? How to pass in the iframe's video element to the createMediaElementSource method.

UFC 255 – The Fallout
Report: Dana White "Would Love" to Meet With Former Bellator Titleholder Michael Chandler
in Bellator, News, UFC
by Ross Markey August 16, 2020, 11:12 am
PSX 20200816 190629
UFC president, Dana White remained coy on recent rumblings surrounding the promotion's links with recent Bellator MMA free agent, Michael Chandler, but admitted he would be open to discussions with the former three-time lightweight gold holder.
Chandler, 34, has been a Bellator MMA mainstay since September 2010 and has become almost a poster boy for the Scott Coker led promotion. The Missouri native featured opposite former WEC and UFC lightweight best, 'Smooth' Benson Henderson at Bellator 243 last weekend in Chicago – finishing the veteran grappler with a stunning first-round knockout in the pair's re-run.
That fight marked the twenty-three fight Bellator veteran's last on his current deal, and he's continually flirted with testing free-agency. Speaking with both MMA Junkie's, John Morgan, and MMA Fighting's, E. Casey Leydon – White spoke of his interest in meeting with Chandler at last night's post-UFC 252 press-conference.
"I would love to meet with him," White said. "Yeah, the guy's earned it, man. I would love to meet with him."
Chandler has tested free agency on multiple occasions in the past, but has always remained a stout feature on the Bellator books, putting pen to paper on multiple, multi-fight deals with the organization.
The NCAA Division I All-American has managed to score twenty-one professional victories – nine of which have come via knockout, and seven have landed via submission. In highlight career wins, Chandler has bested the likes of the aforenoted, Henderson (x2), Brent Primus, Goiti Yamaguchi, Patricky 'Pitbull' (x2), Derek Campos, the experienced, Akihiro Gono, and was involved in an incredibly memorable pair of fights with former UFC lightweight best, Eddie Alvarez.

Funi's take on the infamous chicken & mushroom stew.
1. In a heavy pan over medium high heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle chicken thighs and drumsticks on both sides with salt and pepper. Add chicken to the pan and cook on both sides until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Remove chicken from the pan.
2. Add onions and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
3. Add garlic, thyme and mushrooms, cook until mushrooms are soft and have darkened in color, and then add the chicken to the pan and cook for 5- 8 minutes.
4. Add the cream and the stock and stir in the half of the Parmesan cheese, stir until melted. Add the remaining half, stir until combined and cook until sauce has thickened, about 10 minutes. Add salt and pepper to season and serve over rice or pasta or pap.

« Are Social Media Applications the New Cover Letter?
Jean Chatzy, one of the financial advisors on The Today Show, has repeatedly recommended that people looking for jobs not only join networks like Linked-In but also Facebook. Really? Facebook?
No longer considered just an Internet toy for nerdy teens and college co-eds, Facebook has grown up to be a legitimate tool in the business world, especially when it comes to looking for a job. Recruiters, human resources executives, managers and business owners openly admit that they scour Facebook looking for prospective employees, or (more importantly) they use it to vet applicants applying for jobs. Either way, Facebook can help or hurt your chances of becoming gainfully employed IF you don't use it properly. To make sure you fall into the former camp, here are four tips on how to use Facebook to your advantage when looking for a job.
That picture of you dressed in drag at last year's Halloween party probably won't help you get the bank management position you just applied for. And the night you won the beer bong races at your twenty-first birthday party? Also not impressive. Delete all those crazy pictures that imply you may not have a whole lot of common sense (even if you do).
We all have that one friend who never has anything nice to say about anything, yet we put up with them because…well, I don't know why we do, but we do. However, you don't want their negative rants showing up on your Facebook wall for job recruiters to see. Delete any pessimistic posts and de-friend anyone who might reflect badly on you (i.e., ex-spouses, jilted girlfriends or boyfriends, people with overly zealous, unsolicited political opinions, etc.). If you feel bad about letting them go you can always re-friend them after you get the job.
You may want to change your privacy settings in particular, especially those that have to do with groups or networks to which you belong. People in your networks can see your personal information, even if they're not your friends, depending on your privacy settings. Also, add a profile picture that looks professional, and don't write something derogatory as your philosophy or favorite quotation. Save that stuff for your anonymous Twitter account.
Nothing worse than your Facebook personal info conflicting with the info you put in the resume you just submitted to 10 different companies. If you've lied on your Facebook page about your birthday, your birthplace, your previous work experience, where you went to college, or anything else that might show up on a job application, then either correct it on your Facebook page or (if you'd rather not share the true info) delete it from Facebook altogether.
Don't be afraid to "Like" companies for which you want to work. That way when events are posted on the company's wall (like job openings) then you'll be notified. Also, it looks good in a job interview when you can say that you've been following the company's progress on Facebook.
Post your upcoming job interviews on your wall, and after the interview post an update as to how you think the interview went. In both cases, be positive even if you're not sure if they were "wowed" you. Someone from the company at which you interviewed may see your post and be impressed with your upbeat attitude.
If you Google "Facebook job hunting career" a list of Facebook business pages all associated with finding jobs comes up in the search. Check these pages out and "Like" the ones you think will be helpful. Often these pages alert you to job opportunities both locally and nationally, plus people post their job seeking advice and experiences, which could be beneficial to you.
Chances are you opened your Facebook account when you were in high school or college. Back then you were young and defiant and didn't care who saw what. But now that you're starting your career, you don't want your wild past following you around tattling like an annoying little brother. So before you actively begin your job search do a little damage control on your Facebook page. In the long run you'll be glad you did.

This extension represents a wonderful substitute of .COM, especially if the necessary domain with the latter domain extension is not available for registration.
Reserving a .NET domain name with our firm is as easy as pie and takes merely a couple of minutes, given that we work with an ICANN-certified registrar. You can book such a domain for a period between 1 and 10 years, or, if you already have a domain, you can transfer it to our company and we will renew it as soon as the transfer process is finished. Transfers are available for all domains, which are at least 60 days old, given that they are not locked and that you possess an EPP transfer authorization key – security measures established by the .NET Registry to prevent unauthorized transfers. You can easily edit the WHOIS info of the domain through your Control Panel tool, or, if you wouldn't like this information to be visible at all, you can add a Whois Privacy Protection service, so no one will be able to view your real contact information.
The .NET top-level domain name extension supports internationalized names, so you can select whether you want to focus on a specific country or territory using a domain name in the native language, or the global web community – using a generic English name.

What is a Land Trust?

Harford Land Trust
Harford Land Trust's Latest Acquisition: The Rodgers Property
In early January, the Harford Land Trust completed its purchase of a small but environmentally important 5.25-acre tract of land from William J. Rodgers of Murrieta, California. Tucked away in the far northern reaches of Harford County, the property has most recently been used for hunting and fishing by Mr. Rodgers and his Annapolis friend, Roger Donegan. It is one of the most unusual properties we have ever acquired.
To start, the property is really two parcels; one so small and located a good distance from the other that we didn't get to see it until recently. Just as negotiations began, the county closed Green Road for a bridge replacement project, so it blocked our access. We had to have a county engineer walk the property for us in the performance of due diligence. Close to the Baltimore County line, the property was accidently given a Baldwin, Baltimore County address, but it lies between Greens Crossroads and Norrisville in Harford County. Another oddity is that we never met or spoke to William Rodgers; the entire transaction was handled by his friend, and now ours, Roger Donegan.
The "larger" parcel, all of 4.89 acres, is breathtaking! Deer Creek flows through it for almost 1,000 feet. The bank on the northern side of the creek is lined with massive boulders fringed with ferns and wildflowers, while the southern side is prone to flooding and home to wetland plants and a healthy salamander population. This parcel lies within the Maryland designated Sensitive Species Project Research Area and buffers the Parker Conservation Area, owned by Harford County Parks and Recreation.
Getting to the property is a bit of a challenge and half the fun of a site visit. While on paper, there is an access road, it hasn't been built. The picture of former board member Stephanie Stone wading through Deer Creek reveals the only way to get to the southern side. A death-defying climb and descent on an over-grown logging road will bring you out to the north side, but Stephanie's route is preferable.
The property has a fascinating history beginning with the purchase of 236 acres by Edward Treadway from Williams Billingsley in 1815. Over the years, the land size grew and diminished, with land being added and sold with deaths, marriages, disputes and debt collection. An article will appear in our next newsletter on the intriguing past of this property and the area as revealed in following the deeds through the years.
Why the interest in this small property?
This property is in a concentration of land preserved by The Manor Conservancy (State Rural Legacy Program), Harford County Agricultural Preservation Program, Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation, and by Harford County Parks and Recreation. Our acquisition implements several objectives of the Deer Creek Watershed Restoration Action Strategy (WRAS) by providing public access to a natural area, fostering clean air and water, the protection of sensitive species, a place for quiet contemplation, and by promoting sensitivity to watershed awareness and stewardship.
This small but mighty property containsmature woods, steep slopes, Forest Interior Dwelling bird and other wildlife habitat, and it is transected by Deer Creek with its associated non-tidal wetlands. It lies within a Sensitive Species Project Research Area and it shares a boundary with the Harford County's Parker Conservation Area. The 156-acre Parker Conservation Area has a fascinating history which Lindley E. Parker donated "as a gift to the people of Harford County for their use, benefit and enjoyment" and "the administering public body [Parks and Recreation] shall insure its preservation for all time in its present natural wild state". The Trust hopes that its little parcel will inspire others in the area to preserve their properties and to help expand the contiguous natural state of the region.
How was the Rodgers Property funded?
By our friends, sponsors, and members!
All funds for this $30,000 acquisition came from our Johnston Hegeman Land Fund which was established specifically for projects like this that meet our mission and standards for public benefit but do not qualify because of size for any state or county easement or acquisition programs. We hope our members are very proud in the part they have played in our latest preservation accomplishment.

Comet Leonard puts on a final, spectacular display with ion tail in solar wind
livetech — January 6, 2022 0 comment

Comet Leonard is falling out of view, however not without putting on one last program.
Discovered simply a year earlier, the comet, officially referred to as Comet C/2021 A1, made its closest method to Earth on Dec. 12, marking the climax of a month filled with prime observing chances. As the comet has actually continued on its journey through the inner solar system, nevertheless, something has actually altered: its tail has actually taken on the look of twisted banners, even as the core of the comet ended up being brighter.
"Somehow it decided to return to life and unleash a couple of outbursts that reversed the fading trend," Quanzhi Ye, an astronomer at the University of Maryland who specializes in comets, informed Space.com.
Related: Comet Leonard, the brightest of the year, is fading and acting weird
Comets are infamously unforeseeable, and in that regard, Comet Leonard is no abnormality. The comet, which was very first spotted in January 2021, captured researchers' eyes for 2 essential factors: It was making a uncommon journey from the freezing external zone of the solar system and its course would bring it incredibly near the sun, along with to Earth.
Skywatchers hoped that the set of close methods would make Comet Leonard a spectacular addition to the year's observing chances. But throughout the run-up to the comet's Earth flyby in December, Comet Leonard stopped lightening up as quickly as anticipated.
Observers anticipate a comet to lighten up both as it approaches Earth due to the reducing range and as it approaches the sun due to the warming temperature levels triggering the comet to shed more product. But for Comet Leonard, this pattern didn't rather hold. It appeared to lighten up, however just due to the fact that of its minimizing range. In regards to the comet's intrinsic residential or commercial properties, it really faded.
But as it continued approaching the sun, Comet Leonard altered once again and skywatchers were hypnotized by a remarkable, twisted tail.
The brand-new phenomenon is the outcome of the solar wind, a stream of charged plasma particles that continuously streams off the sun and throughout the solar system. Comets sport 2 tails, one made from dust and among ions. And due to the fact that ions are charged particles, a comet's ion tail is especially vulnerable to being formed by the solar wind, along with the electromagnetic field situated in interplanetary space.
"What we see here are all sorts of visual effects caused by the influences from the solar wind," Ye stated. "Most of the fascinating effects that we see in the pictures are from the ion tail."
Coincidentally, astronomers currently had their eyes on Comet Leonard's ion tail. The weird fading episode in December made researchers question whether the comet may be breaking down, an occasion that would be very first suggested by the disappearance of the ion tail.
But that hasn't taken place. "Right now the comet seems to be doing well, and it is mostly the solar wind that is doing its thing," Ye stated.
Comet Leonard made its closest method to the sun on Monday (Jan. 3), when it came within about 56 million miles (90 million kilometers) of the sun. (Earth orbits about 93 million miles, or 150 million km, from the sun.)
Now, the comet is speeding outside throughout the solar system. By early next year, it will have to do with as far from the sun as Jupiter, which had to do with its range when astronomers initially identified it. And while Comet Leonard has actually sped past the sun prior to this year, it never ever will once again; its trajectory is because of bring it beyond the solar system into interstellar space.
Comet Leonard has actually been a terrific target for amateur astronomers, although it is ending up being more difficult to see for northern observers. It is presently appearing really low in the southwest sky prior to sundown for skywatchers further south than about Washington D.C. By mid-January, Comet Leonard will be solely overhead throughout daytime hours for all of the mainland United States.

I cover news, culture and daily life in Saudi Arabia.
A Saudi woman swings at a park in Jeddah.
I've always been fascinated by documentary photography and photojournalism. I have covered many events in Saudi Arabia, especially in my hometown of Jeddah. I covered conferences and festivals and I enjoy reporting on cultural events and everyday life stories.
My fascination with photography started in 2006 and is constantly fed by the people and the culture I am immersed in and surrounded by.
I wanted to become a photographer capture images that live forever and are able to evoke memories of events and the lives portrayed.
I was assigned to cover a photography exhibition titled "Colors of Saudi" that took place at Jeddah's Red Sea mall. Although it was simple, it painted a picture of how people reacted to the photos. It was inspiring as it showed different cultures, landscapes, and tourism in Saudi Arabia. I learned about the importance of capturing the right moments.
I am interested in documentary photography of historical places and heritage sites. Capturing daily life is also of great importance for me as a photographer. I am greatly inspired by people and cultural diversity.
I think the future of photojournalism is all about staying on top of the fast-moving world we live in today, catching up with the latest trends, evolving with and adapting to it.
