Americans Play Politics With Their Lives – Even When It Comes to COVID-19
Few Americans have been personally affected healthwise by the coronavirus so far, but politics is a factor when it comes to potential treatment.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that six percent (6%) of American Adults now say they or a member of their immediate family has been diagnosed with COVID-19. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
Among these Americans, 38% say they would take the drug Hydroxychloroquine if they were diagnosed with the coronavirus. Forty-one percent (41%) would not, but 21% more are not sure.
Among all Americans, 31% would take the anti-malarial drug that many experts say counters the coronavirus but came under political attack after President Trump endorsed it. Thirty-five percent (35%) would not take Hydroxychloroquine. Just as many (34%) are undecided.
Politics rules these days even when it comes to personal health. While 53% of Republicans say they would take Hydroxychloroquine if diagnosed with COVID-19, just 18% of Democrats and 28% of those not affiliated with either major party agree.

The survey of 1,000 American Adults was conducted April 8-9, 2020 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.
Thirteen percent (13%) of Americans said last October that they had had the flu the previous year, and 55% intended to get the flu shot before the current flu season.
Americans under 40 are more likely than their elders to report that they or someone in their immediate family has been diagnosed with COVID-19. But these younger adults are the least likely to take Hydroxychloriquine if diagnosed with the disease themselves.
Men are more willing to take Hydroxychloriquine than women are, perhaps in part because men are twice as likely to say they or someone in their immediate family has been diagnosed with coronavirus.
Blacks are less willing to take the drug than whites and other minority Americans. Other minorities report more cases of coronavirus in their family than blacks and whites do.
Americans are nearly all keeping their distance from others during the ongoing coronavirus crisis, but many also acknowledge that social distancing is hurting some of their close personal relationships.
Democrats remain highly critical of how the government is handling the coronavirus crisis and think a new House oversight committee will make things better. Republicans see more politics ahead.
Additional information from this survey and a full demographic breakdown are available to Platinum Members only.

Q: Django template jquery does not work I have a django template as follows ..
...

            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" id="related"}>KIRK</button>

...

And a script in the same template

On button click I want to show an alert, however, this does not seem to work for me ? I cannot figure out what I am doing wrong ? Is it the way the script is defined or am not using the right selector ?

A: Change your html to look like this:

            <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary" id="related">KIRK</button>

(remove the } )

A: Use whatever debugger/javascript console you prefer (I use Firebug, but you can do it with the Firefox and Chrome built-in consoles as well, I don't know about IE developer tools, which suck):

*

*Verify that you load jQuery (and not just some javascript file of your own named jquery.js)

*Verify that jQuery is loaded, and that you have one and only one node in the DOM with the id related by typing $('#related')`.

*Verify that your .click line is executed after jQuery is loaded.

*Try using a version of Firefox that isn't years old. I'm using 38.0, and you're using 10.0? That was released in 2013.

Q: Developing an Application using C++ or Java For GPS Receivers I have an idea for developing an app to be installed in a GPS receiver,this app should be able to communicate with a server.The connection could either be established through a cell phone network or internet or any suggestions.
Is this possible?
Can anyone help with suggestions?
Whats the best programming language would be more appropriate?
Any GPS devices that has this capability?
Thanks

A: It's very easy to do this, you can have a look at gpsd.
basically just com port communication and change NMEA formats, and send your info back to your server over the net.
I did my one with ruby under linux without addition library other than native.
For your question:
I would say any language you are comfortable will do. OS is not important, even on a ARM linux it should be okay.
Most gps should work, as long as they are NMEA formats. for more info you can have a look at http://gpsd.berlios.de/hardware.html

Q: Programmatically assign Text_Changed event method to call I have a project I am working on and want to be able to call a method for all the controls whenever the text changed event gets fired.  I want to do it programmatically.  I have a linq query that returns all the controls on the form and I want to create a TextChanged event that runs a method for all those controls.

A: "textBox1_TextChanged" is a function name, which you want to call when textchange happens.
textBox1.TextChanged += new System.EventHandler(this.textBox1_TextChanged);

Update: function sample
private void textBox1_TextChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)

Referenced on p28, Knight - Noble Warrior of England 1200-1600 by Christopher Gravett.
Two statues from the west front of Wells Cathedral, c.1230. The helm of the left-hand figure has a single vision-slit. Note too the stiff upstanding shoulders of the surcoat and the lack of a waist belt. The other figure wears a padded arming coif with a roll around the brim to support a helm, and a stiff throat-defence, all worn over the mail coif. The surcoat has a dagged lower edge.
Most of the armoured figures on the facade of Wells Cathedral wear standard mail hauberks and chausses. One, or perhaps two, figures (B and C) have the angled shoulders that suggest padded gambesons beneath the surcoats. The possibility that some padding or even stiffening formed an integral part of the surcoat is reinforced by the raised and clearly stiffened collars that protect the throats of two figures (B and C). One figure (C) has a mail hauberk and coif beneath these padded elements, while another does not (B). Both, however, wear cloth coifs with large padded squabs around the head which are obviously intended to support great helms. One such great helm is present in the Wells carvings (A). It is of an early form with a single broad eye-slit reinforced at the edges by an additional piece of metal which also runs down the front of the helmet. The top plate is turned over the edge and riveted.

Wisconsin-Whitewater heads back to national semifinals
GREENCASTLE, Ind. -- Wisconsin-Whitewater advanced to the national semifinals of the NCAA III tournament for the second year in a row with a 88-71 win against DePauw on Saturday night. In the semifinals, the Warhawks 26-4 will play the winner of Saturday's quarterfinal between Whitman 29-1 and Thomas More 31-0 on Friday evening.
Katie Burton got things going for the Warhawks with a 3 on Whitewater's first possession. Mary Merg made it 5-0 UW-W going coast-to-coast for a short-range jumper. The Warhawk defense didn't allow DePauw to score until 2 1/2 minutes into the game. The Tigers made just one of their first six shots. Whitewater took its largest lead of the half, 9-2, at the 15:44 mark as Merg's floater dropped in. DePauw came roaring back to take its first lead with 5:45 on the clock after a Lauren Abendroth 3 in transition put the Tigers up 22-21. Kristen Ruchti ended the Tiger's 7-0 run with a basket down low and Merg put the advantage back into Whitewater's favor 28-26 with 3:04 remaining, with an off-balance jumper and free throw to complete the old-fashioned three-point play. DePauw knotted the score at 30-30 with 1:48 left in the half, but Whitewater held the edge heading into intermission with a 34-32 lead.
Both teams made 13 field goals with Whitewater shooting 44.8 percent and DePauw 41.9 percent in the first period. The miniscule point margin was made at the free-throw line where UW-W was 7-for-7 compared to the Tigers' 4-for-5. Merg led all players in the half with 15 points on 4-for-6 shooting from the floor and all seven of the Warhawks' free throws. Ruchti added 12 points on 6-for-9 from the field and added five boards. Alex Gasaway led DePauw with 10 points in the first 20 minutes.
Same teams, different game in the second half. Leading 36-34 at 19:01, Whitewater went on a 12-0 run, fueled by a pair of baskets and a free throw from Ruchti, to up the advantage to 48-34 at the 16:40 mark. And that was it. The Warhawk lead never dipped below double figures the rest of the way. DePauw was within 10, 57-47 at 12:02, but the Warhawks scored the next five points. It was 62-52 with 9:55 left, but Kaitlyn Thill followed that with a 3-pointer at 9:40 for UW-W. And with 7:48 remaining UW-W's lead was 65-55, but Merg hit a 3 13 seconds later. Whitewater's lead reached 17 points twice in the final moments, 86-69 on a pair of free throws by Andrea Olsen with 0:51 on the clock, and the final margin after two Thill free throws.
UW-W made 23 of 25 free throws, 16 of 18 in the second half. DePauw was 9-for-13. The Warhawks also had an edge from beyond the arc, going 7-for-16 to 2 of 11 for the Tigers, and Whitewater shot better from the floor, connecting on 49 percent to 41 percent.
Ruchti, a senior center, took game scoring honors with 24 points. Merg, the senior guard, added 21 points, hitting 10 of 11 free throws. Ruchti and Merg shared team honors with nine rebounds, and Merg led both teams with six assists, along with her senior running mate at guard, Thill. Senior forward Alex Gasaway topped DePauw with 20 points, with junior guard Savannah Trees contributing 18. Gasaway also grabbed nine rebounds, trailing teammate Alison Stephens' game-high 11. Senior guard Ali Ross dished out four assists for the Tigers.
Saturday's quarterfinal was a rematch of last year's NCAA III championship game in Holland, Michigan, won by DePauw 69-51.
DePauw ends the season 30-2. The loss broke a 36 game home court winning streak for the Tigers, and it was just the ninth home court loss in the history of the facility (versus 167 wins).
Whitewater will be making its fourth final four appearance. The Warhawks placed third in the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW) Division III tournament, the precursor to the NCAA, in 1982. UW-W finished third in 2008 when the finals were in Holland, Michigan and, as mentioned, second in Holland last year.

Growing up in the 90s, there were a lot of shows I missed, for various reasons: I was rarely allowed to watch a lot of television, some were shortly before (or after) my time, and I never really got up early in the morning to watch them (seriously, who wouldn't want to sleep-in?). Basically, there's a lot of "nostalgic" things that are not so nostalgic to me. Time for me to rectify this.
Pokémon has long held a position as a household name, particularly if said household is addicted to any one of more than 70 different games released over its twenty-year existence. Pikachu is easily one of the most recognisable non-human characters there is. And Pokémon Go has swiftly become one of the most popular mobile phone apps.
When I was a little girl, I never really had much (or any) interest in Pokémon. I'd decried it as a fad, perhaps as a means to act high-and-mighty against everyone else. Later, of course, I got into the games, having borrowed a copy of Pokémon Blue (though the games were in their third generation at the time) from a friend, and have been a semi-avid follower of the (game) series ever since. Of course, the original anime series had slipped me by, and I wasn't exactly interested in watching it at that age anyway. Now I'm twenty-one, I'm clearly in the target demographic, so I decided to find out why so many people are nostalgic about the show.
"Nidorino begins the battle with a Horn Attack." One thing to note about this show, is that type matchups aren't a thing in this world.
We're introduced to the world of Pokémon, a nightmarish world of animals being forced to fight each other, children roaming alone across the countryside, an ineffectual police force being powerless against a crime syndicate. The show begins with 10-year-old Ash Ketchum expressing his dreams of becoming a Pokémon Master; at the time of writing this essay—in the show's 18th year—the young protagonist has still not achieved his goal, sending the lesson that if you put your heart into something, it's probably neither attainable nor worth doing.
Ash is honestly bland, character-wise—with fan-theories concerning the identity of his father being about the most interesting thing about him (for the record: it's Giovanni, obviously). I understand that he's basically one of the typical anime/manga archetypes, but therein lies the problem. I just don't find him particularly interesting.
Moving on, Ash visits Professor Oak, the professor from the first game who can't remember you (or even his own grandson's) name, in order to receive his first Pokémon. Unfortunately, there's only a single Pokémon left, although at least Ash doesn't have to worry about his rival picking the Pokémon that's effective against it. Naturally, the Pokémon is Pikachu, who seems to have a violent temperament that in the real world would probably lead to it being put down.
While out on his journey, an attempt to catch a Pokémon in the wild goes badly, and Ash finds himself fleeing a swarm of vicious birds eager to leave a peck-mark covered prepubescent corpse. It is there he runs into Misty, stealing her bike, and setting up the motivation for her to be following Ash throughout the series. Again, tropes abound with her character, and I still generally can't look past the usual clichés for this genre of show, despite the fact that perhaps (part of) the reason it feels clichéd is due to later shows taking cues from her character.
Weirdly, Misty is unable to battle in certain situations, due to water-type Pokémon in the show needing to have water nearby (needless to say, this was not a rule in the games). What's more is that despite this, Misty insists on the superiority of water-types, despite this outright debilitating disadvantage. I mean, when you're in a setting in which we know by the end of first episode that everything is out to kill you, you may want to debate carrying a fish tank with you, at the very least.
Prepare for trouble. And make it double.
Jessie and James are easily my two favourite characters from the series. While I'm generally not a fan of the recycled villains, there's something about these two that makes me genuinely want them to succeed. Sure, they're often comic relief villains—but their banter is probably the most entertaining part of the show to me, and episodes where they're not required to play the role of the villain (there's been a few so far) are pretty damn enjoyable. Also, there's Meowth, voiced by the late Maddie Blaustein.
It does annoy me when "hijacked by Team Rocket" seems to be a somewhat regular occurrence. By which I mean the episode's actual conflict being hijacked by Team Rocket, and this conflict being somehow resolved by the "teamwork" of defeating them together, or the fact that the main characters can prove themselves by defeating those people they've already defeated quite a lot of times before.
Lastly, there's Brock, who is introduced in the fifth episode (after about two episodes that technically aren't filler episodes, but are pretty boring so they might as well be). I don't have a lot to say about him, although the fact that he occasionally fits into the "Team Mother" role does kind of subvert things very slightly, maybe?
All in all, I'd say the show is probably better than I thought it would be; what I've heard (and seen) of similar shows implies the majority of them are mostly about battle scenes—and that sounds rather tedious, to be honest. I wouldn't say it's a good show, exactly, but all the while, I wouldn't say it's a bad show, either.

TDCAA TDCAA Community Juvenile Law MAGISTRATION REQUIREMENT?
I have several offense reports being turned into our office without the child being taken in to get magistrated first. Now, I have a couple cases where I filed a petition, but I can't get an attorney appointed because the Judge says the child needs to get magistrated first. So do I proceed to file directive to apprehends? I've tried sending interoffice memos asking the law enforcement agencies to magistrate the child , but they don't seem to be effective. Essentially, they are not taking the child in even after these are sent out. Pls advise as to how any other offices handle these situations. Thanks in advance.

Q: How to set up graduated colors for a layer using ArcObjects? I have to render a feature layer with a graduated colors renderer, using the ArcGIS API for Java (or VB, .NET).
As the feature layer data is created dynamically using webservices, I don't in advance the range of values, so I need to get the classification to be generated using the natural breaks algorithm.
Here is what I need to set:

In addition, I need to get the largest values overlaying the smallest:

I need to get n classes, using a AlgorithmicColorRamp from one given color to another color and symbolized by a simple line with a given width.
I tried to write this method, called after the layer data source is set:
    public static void applyGraduatedColorsLineRenderer(IGeoFeatureLayer geoFeatureLayer, String field, int count, IColor fromColor, IColor toColor, double width) throws UnknownHostException, IOException {
    IAlgorithmicColorRamp colorRamp = new AlgorithmicColorRamp();
    colorRamp.setAlgorithm(esriColorRampAlgorithm.esriCIELabAlgorithm);
    colorRamp.setFromColor(fromColor);
    colorRamp.setToColor(toColor);
    colorRamp.setSize(count);
    boolean[] ok = new boolean[1];
    colorRamp.createRamp(ok);

    ClassBreaksRenderer classBreaksRenderer = new ClassBreaksRenderer();
    classBreaksRenderer.setField(field);
    classBreaksRenderer.setBreakCount(count);
    classBreaksRenderer.setSortClassesAscending(false);
    classBreaksRenderer.setFlipSymbols(false);
    classBreaksRenderer.setColorRampByRef(colorRamp);

    for(int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
        SimpleLineSymbol simpleLineSymbol = new SimpleLineSymbol();
        simpleLineSymbol.setColor(fromColor);
        simpleLineSymbol.setStyle(esriSimpleLineStyle.esriSLSSolid);
        simpleLineSymbol.setWidth(width);
        classBreaksRenderer.setSymbol(i, simpleLineSymbol);
    }

    geoFeatureLayer.setRendererByRef(classBreaksRenderer);
}

The problem is that I don't get the right range for my data, and the classification method is set to "manual" instead of "Natural Breaks":

Moreover, I don't know what is the equivalent in ArcObjects of checking "Draw this layer using the symbol levels specified below".

A: It's maybe too late for an answer, but I think thats what you needed - the
IClassBreaksUIProperties
IClassify classifyMethod = new NaturalBreaksClass();
(classBreaksRenderer as IClassBreaksUIProperties).Method = classifyMethod.ClassID;

The checking "Draw this layer using the symbol levels specified below" you can also set with the UIProperties:
IClassBreaksUIProperties.ShowClassGaps Property

London's Heathrow Tower Begins Testing Augmented Reality for ATC
New technology is expected to help reduce ATC delays.
By Rob Mark
Augmented reality test will soon begin at Heathrow's digital tower laboratory.NATS photo
About 15 days each year, air traffic controllers working inside London Heathrow's 286-foot control tower experience essentially IFR conditions when low clouds surround the tower cab, often while ground visibility is just fine. ATC delays occur during these conditions because controllers cannot verify whether arrivals and departures have cleared the runway. The U.K.'s ATC provider, NATS, says those delays can reduce airport capacity by as much as 20 percent. Enter new technology capable of blending Heathrow's 4K digital equipment with ADS-B and radar systems thanks to data from 20 ultra HD cameras located just beneath the tower cab.
NATS recently agreed to participate in the trial of a new augmented reality technology at the organization's digital tower laboratory located beneath the current control tower. The tower cab displays during the test will blend all necessary data to create unprecedented situational awareness for controllers. The testing technology will offer controllers customizable tags for aircraft and vehicles even if those vehicles are hidden by poor visibility or buildings on the airport. The airport's 4K cameras reportedly provide better visibility around the airport at night than humans are capable of viewing with their eyes.
Sources at Heathrow claim this new augmented reality is already a step up in sophistication from the remote tower facilities already in operation at nearby London City Airport. If the test is successful, NATS hopes to roll out its first live airport test of an augmented reality facility at Singapore's Changi Airport.


As part of our preparations for the USA Oblate province bicentenary celebrations I have prepared a novena for reflection and prayer.
Each day has a lot of material that the user can choose from. As it was prepared for our US Oblates, you may need to make some adaptations to the text to fit your context.
Dear Frank – thank you so much for sharing these with all of us. They are beautiful and rich. A most wonderful way to pray and reflect each day as we approach the 25th. I feel that as we journey we are being invited to take a small detour – we are still on our way to where we are called to be and it is as if God is saying to each of us; "Come, I want to show you this small path of wonder that will delight your heart and enrich your senses. Come, I have prepared for you a banquet for you to partake as we walk. Let us celebrate the journey." You are nourishing us.

Calum Green to return to Leicester Tigers
Second-rower Calum Green has agreed a move to Leicester Tigers from Newcastle Falcons this summer.
The 28-year-old Green has been among Premiership Rugby's leading locks in recent seasons with the Falcons, particularly in his work at the set-piece.
Originally from Norwich, Green came through the Tigers academy, leading the team as captain in his final year before moving into senior rugby and made his senior debut for the club at the end of the 2008/09 season as a teenager.
After a spell with Yorkshire Carnegie, he joined Newcastle in 2014 and has made more than 100 first-team appearances for the Falcons.
Tigers head coach Geordan Murphy, welcoming Green's signing, said: "Calum has played a lot of senior rugby with Carnegie and then the Falcons and has firmly established himself as a Premiership player.
"His stats have been particularly good at the lineout in the last couple of seasons and he is a real hard-worker in the forward pack.
"We think he will add a lot to the group here when he returns and we look forward to welcoming him back to Tigers this summer."
Green said: "Leicester is where my career started and to have the opportunity to return was too good an opportunity to let go by."
"I know a lot of the players in the squad, coaches and staff and am excited to get back to Welford Road and be called a Tiger once again.
"Geordie is so passionate about the club and I'm looking forward to working under him and alongside the playing group in getting Tigers back to the top."
Green's signature sees the Tigers academy graduate join international Noel Reid, as well as Crusaders back-rower Jordan Taufua in committing to the club ahead of next season.
The new trio join Tigers, England and British Lions centre Manu Tuilagi, who recently renewed his deal with the club.


...and $25 later, the car is fixed, though it's going to need a new water pump pretty soon. That's another $30 or so, nothing too bad. I owe the brother-in-law. We'll take care of that this weekend. I'm bound and determined to keep this beast running and hit 250,000 miles by summer.


Vision for Science at Corpus Christi.
At Corpus Christi Catholic Primary School, we see our Science Curriculum as a wonderful opportunity for our children to explore the world around them, through engaging and practical experiences, which encourage them to be curious and to ask questions.
Through this, our vision is to equip them with a range of skills which they can use in an ever-changing world and which inspire them to be innovative, problem-solvers and scientists of the future.
Each year we throw away about 600 million batteries and 20,000 tonnes of these end up in landfill sites. These batteries can also take up to 100 years to decompose. However, they can be recycled and by doing so we can help to save our planet!
If you have any used batteries at home then please send them into school to be recycled. The batteries will need to be placed into the battery shaped container just opposite the student entrance to the office.
We have collected a large number of used batteries already, help us to keep up the excellent recycling!
Visit the web links below for simple experiments you can do at home.
SAFETY: Please do not try the experiments without an adult to supervise.
* With adult supervision take some time to try out a mini experiment and record your findings in a creative way.

North Philly bookstore ships to prisons – and delivers with a personal touch
'It breaks my heart,' says Hakim Hopkins, of the stories he hears from families with loved ones behind bars
By Jake Blumgart
Small Business Bookstores
Black & Nobel Books at Broad Street and Erie Avenue.
Pass through the intersection of Broad and Erie in North Philadelphia and it's impossible to miss the city's last black-owned bookstore.
"Black and Nobel," the huge signs read in stark white text on a black background. "We Ship to Prisons."
Located in the heart of North Philadelphia's shopping district, Hakim Hopkins' store is located in a two-story walk-up. Occupying the long expanse of the second floor, the shelves are lined with self-help books, religious tracts, novels with titles like From A Thug 2 A Man (by C-Note), entrepreneurial tomes like From Incarnation to Incorporation, and Ben Carson's obligatory pre-presidential run memoir. The store is cooled only by cracked open windows and a couple of giant fans.
"When we started we weren't the only black bookstore, but we were the only cool one," says Hopkins. "We added hip-hop, we had celebrities coming in. We didn't just want religious stuff, we wanted street novels, we wanted love novels, we wanted books on finances and history. We just mixed it all together in a big old pot. And we became the spot."
Hopkins was born in West Philadelphia, but as a young man moved to South Jersey and managed the kitchen for many years at Moe's Chicken, a famous soul food restaurant in Atlantic City. But in the late 1990s, Hopkins went through a rough period in his life. Books saw him through, specifically Dennis Kimbro's Think and Grow Rich: A Black Choice (a riff on Napoleon Hill 1937 self-help books).
Hakim Hopkins, owner of Black & Nobel Books. (Thom Carroll / PhillyVoice)
Hopkins was inspired to get a vending license and got his start in the early 2000s selling books on the street, setting up a table laden with his products around Temple in Center City, and on the 52nd Street shopping corridor in West Philadelphia. With his associate Joseph Mitchell, Hopkins would move his wares around the city on the subway using a hand truck. Mitchell would re-supply up in New York, riding Chinatown buses to bring down new batches of books.
One night after work, Mitchell and Hopkins were hanging out in Rittenhouse Square when they came up with their enterprise's name.
"We had our table out there. It was after-hours and we were rapping, actually rapping, we was tripping," remembers Hopkins. "And you [Mitchell] said 'I'm black, and you noble' and we were in front of Barnes and Noble. And I was like, that's the name."
Soon thereafter Hopkins bought the long-vacant space at Broad and Erie and opened up the bricks-and-mortar Black and Nobel. A year later, at the suggestion of a customer, Hopkins began orchestrating the shipment of packages to prison inmates. The service was an immediate hit, and it isn't hard to see why. Based on data from Justice Atlas, Black and Nobel's zip code had the city's second highest number of adults imprisoned in 2008 (the most recent data available) and the fifth highest rate of imprisonment. The median income is $14,185. Black and Nobel is bordered by four of the city's other zip codes with the highest real numbers and rates of imprisonment.

Hopkins handles the prison shipment aspect of Black and Nobel personally, giving his private cell phone number out to customers, while his employees help with in-store sales, social media promotion, and all the other myriad tasks that he can't get to. He estimates they send 50 or more packages a day.
Asked whether families could just turn to Amazon to send package to their loved ones inside, Hopkins says he isn't worried.
"I don't look at them as competition; families have to trust you to do this," he says. "Prison is rough; they make it rough doing visits and getting mail. A lot of the families come here because they get treated like crap. We are like that shoulder for them to lean on. We help them, we console them, we let them cry on us. It's deeper than just us making money."
People sometimes assume that Hopkins himself has been to prison, but other than a brush with juvy he doesn't have personal experience with the system. ("That's not who I am, I'm a happy married man.") But dealing with the traumatic effects of imprisonment is growing increasingly difficult, especially as his walk-in trade has slowed as more of his customers have turned to Kindle and other electronic readers. The shipments to inmates have become the heart of Black and Nobel's business.
"It breaks my heart," says Hopkins, who has six children. "I try to leave it here when I go home, but it's written all over my face. It becomes very emotional. I'm drained because I hear the real stories. You see what's on Channel 6; we get the real deal uncut. Nobody wants to hear that for 10 hours a day. I'm just getting to this level where I'm getting a little burnt out. I just need to make some changes."
Hopkins isn't sure what those changes will look like yet. At the very least, he can look forward to the end of summer, which is always the slowest time of year. The winter holidays and the lack of outdoor competition in the snowy months always boost his walk-in sales. And Hopkins' customers don't need to worry about Black and Nobel going away or the prison shipments tapering off.
"I'm not going to stop," says Hopkins. "It's just so needed."

DISCUSS: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev's "boat confession"
A month after the capture of Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the FBI released a new claim, stating that they had found a "confession letter", supposedly written by Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, while according to them laying severly injured in the boat (photos show most of the injuries occured while he was trying to surrender - see last post).
Discuss: Dzhokhar Tsarnaev - who caused the wounds?
FBI claimed Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was "Apprehended 'covered in blood and hiding in a covered boat in Watertown by homeowner who ventured out after curfew was lifted".
We apologize for the lack of discussion posts lately, but we are back now. And today it is time to discuss Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.
19th April, 2013, the day of the capture of second suspect, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev. Within 48 hours it was revealed how badly Dzhokhar was injured, also confirmed by Zubeidat Tsarnaeva. His wounds made a total of 16, where it was revealed that he was shot in his mouth, one ear now being deaf and shot multiple times on his legs and arms, barely able to talk, write or walk.
Our last post showed three different stories provided, by the FBI, police and witnesses, all contradicting each other. Click >here< to see the article.
April 19th, 2013, news reports went non - stop about the ongoing chase after the Tsarnaev brothers. The police states that when they cornered the brothers they exchanged fires. The shootout ended up leaving one of the brothers, Tamerlan Tsarnaev (26), dead.
"Police are said to have shot and apprehended Suspect 1, who was then rushed to Beth Israel Medical Center. He arrived at the hospital under cardiac arrest with multiple gunshot wounds and blast-like injuries to his chest."
After the identified suspects of the Boston Marathon bombings, Tamerlan and Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, it was reported that the brothers were also linked to the 7/11 robbery. The police released a images, showing Dzhokhar Tsarnaev entering the gas station with Tamerlan behind him, allegedly robbing 7/11.
It was later confirmed that the brothers were NOT the robbers and were no longer suspects in the robbers. Another important fact is that they went to Shell gas station, not 7/11.
Does the FBI have the right to withold vital information?
April 19th photos of the alleged bombers were released for the public to identify and locate the suspects. FBI said when releasing the photos: "For clarity, these images should be the only ones -- and I emphasize the only ones -- that the public should view to assist us (...)."
They were later identified by the Law Enforcement, who later admitted that they knew Tamerlan prior to this and had been in contact with him for 3 years, at least.
Months have passed and questions remains unanswered and silenced.
We have decided to have daily posts, questioning the statements provided to the public by the authorities, that have been contradicted by their own or by other witnesses. We are going to go deeper into these details and let you discuss and share your views, answering our critical questions.
It is really important that you share your views and share it with each other.


"Josie and the Pussycats," which had been canceled the year before, becomes one of the titles revived on a rotating basis under the "Archie Giant Series" banner.
Let's go take pictures of the scenery!
The weary Pussycats try to find a spot on the beach where they can be free from male attention, until they face competition from gorgeous bikini-clad triplets.
Archie breaks a world record by eating a sandwich.
Josie; Alexander Cabot III; Alan M.
Using terms he learned from a car manual, Alex tries to speak with authority about the features of his car. Alan M. retaliates by making up a bunch of nonsense words and convincing Alex that they're features the manual didn't mention.
The girls try out a water bed at a store, and Melody enjoys it a little too much, to the delight of the male customers.
When Alexandra discovers that Alan M. and Josie get up at 6 a.m. every day to jog together, she tells Alex that they, too, must get up early to jog if they want to keep an eye on those two.
In the splash panel, Alexandra is wearing a very '80s "Valley" outfit submitted by a reader.
Josie reverts to her original last name of "Jones" in this story.

Pompeo wants the old South Asia 'hedge' against China, but will our allies comply?
The secretary of state's quest in building a strategic coalition against Beijing this week wasn't entirely successful.
Adam Weinstein and Rachel Esplin Odell
This week U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Secretary of Defense Mark Esper traveled to New Delhi for the third U.S.-India 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue with one message: we need YOU to help us confront China.
After signing the U.S.-India Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement (BECA) to share geospatial intelligence, Pompeo then continued on to other destinations in South and Southeast Asia carrying the same strident banner.
The underlying U.S. message was clear: Washington desperately needs partners in an American-led fight against Chinese influence in Asia. The United States has long viewed South Asia through a one-dimensional lens as a hedge against a perceived threat — first the Soviet Union, and later the Taliban and al-Qaeda. After two decades of failure in Afghanistan, Washington is once again revamping its strategy in South Asia and neighboring Southeast Asia, but with the same failed approach that reduces the region to a mere hedge, this time against Beijing.
Throughout the second half of the 20th century, Washington viewed South Asia as a potential battleground against the Soviet Union wherein Pakistan served as a hedge while India leaned closer to Moscow. In 1954, the United States and Pakistan signed the Mutual Defense Assistance Agreement and, one year later, Pakistan joined the South East Asia Treaty Organization and Central Treaty Organization. Islamabad also helped jumpstart President Nixon's detente with Beijing as China's relations with the Soviet Union became increasingly acrimonious.
However, Washington did not develop genuine alliances in South Asia — only short-term interests. In 1964, Foreign Affairs published an article by Pakistan's military-installed president, Ayub Khan, in which he complained that, while Pakistan was a loyal ally to Washington, India's policy of non-alignment, which he described as "playing both sides of the street," was rewarded with increased U.S. aid to woo India away from the Soviet orbit.
In the waning years of the Cold War, the United States saw the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan in 1979 as an opportunity to bury Moscow once and for all in a self-dug grave. Washington's subsequent support for the Afghan mujahideen contributed to the rise of the Taliban and al-Qaida. It also caused the United States to largely turn the other cheek as Pakistan developed its nascent nuclear-weapons program with China's assistance.
After 9/11, the ghosts of Washington's campaign against the Soviets in South and Central Asia were resurrected into a new all-encompassing threat — al-Qaida. Washington ramped up aid to Pakistan, rotated hundreds of thousands of troops through Afghanistan, and viewed a region of over one billion people through the kaleidoscope of an increasingly dysfunctional counterinsurgency campaign in Afghanistan.
As the war on terror has lost steam in recent years, Washington has shifted toward a more China-centric approach to South Asia, as epitomized by Pompeo's trip. The Joint Statement of last week's U.S.-India 2+2 Ministerial Dialogue commits to a "free, open, inclusive, peaceful, and prosperous Indo-Pacific built on a rules-based international order, underpinned by ASEAN centrality…" While these aspirational goals are positive, the wording is transparent in its suggestion that India should serve as the tip of the spear against Chinese influence, a suggestion made more explicit by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's press appearances during the trip.
When Indian media mogul Shekhar Gupta pressed Secretary Pompeo to comment on the U.S.-India relationship during an interview apart from the "China problem," Pompeo responded, "…I'm confident that if China were to go away suddenly, that we all pray might happen, I'm confident the relationship would still stand." Nonetheless, China remained the central focus throughout the interview, with no discussion of U.S.-India relations outside of the China context. Speaking later at a press conference in Sri Lanka, Pompeo described the Chinese Communust Party as a "predator" and the United States as a "friend" and "partner."
Washington is mistaken in assuming that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's strongman cult of personality can be manipulated into a bold and predictable alliance against China and that smaller nations in the region can be bullied into taking sides. Not only India, but also countries like Sri Lanka and the neighboring ASEAN nations — including Pompeo's final stop, Indonesia — are unlikely to accept his imposed suzerainty.
Instead, they are more likely to maintain balance in their relations with the United States and China. Following Pompeo's visit to Colombo, for example, Sri Lankan Prime Minister Gotabaya Rajapaksa tagged Pompeo in a rather pointed tweet. "#SriLanka," he wrote, "will always maintain a neutral stand in foreign policy and will not get entangled in struggles between power blocs." Nor was he alone. The former Indonesian ambassador in Washington recently argued that smaller Asian nations will not embrace the Trump administration's stance on China both because Beijing's foreign policy is perceived as less ideological and because these nations are inspired by China's economic model. His prescription? Washington should focus on soft power.
There are a variety of ways Washington could build its soft power in South and Southeast Asia in a less exclusive, less zero-sum way. As Joanna Lewis has argued, the United States should incentivize American companies and financial institutions to work collaboratively with Chinese banks as part of Beijing's Belt and Road Initiative to help promote a greener form of development. Washington could also direct more development aid to nations in the region, leveraging that aid as a constructive parallel to the BRI by focusing on investment in clean energy infrastructure. These efforts would also benefit Americans by helping to mitigate climate change, while providing more growth opportunities for U.S. companies and jobs in America's clean energy sector.
Similarly, more collaborative efforts on maritime security could also build U.S. soft power. ASEAN nations have recently distanced themselves from Washington's efforts to use their disputes with each other and with China over islands, reefs, and marine resources as a wedge issue in a bipolar great-power competition. Although ASEAN nations are concerned about China's expansive claims in the South China Sea, Washington has little more credibility than Beijing when it comes to the law of the sea. Not only has America failed to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), but its interpretation of "freedom of navigation" is far more military-centric than that of most Asian nations, including India, Pakistan, and most ASEAN members.
To boost its soft power in the region, the U.S. Congress should ratify UNCLOS, while the executive branch should work with nations in the Indo-Pacific region to develop a shared set of compromise understandings about military activities at sea. Instead of conducting frequent freedom of navigation operations (FONOPs) targeting nations throughout the region, the United States should focus more on promoting collaborative maritime safety, security, and conservation efforts in the Indian and Pacific Oceans through inclusive institutions such as the ASEAN Regional Forum.
A U.S. approach to South and Southeast Asia that views these regions as merely a hedge against China will not stop China's influence from spreading. It will only produce skewed calculations, rattle Pakistan at a time when its cooperation remains crucial, impede cooperation on climate change, and squander opportunities for economic growth and development.
