Whimsy Is Forever: 24 before 25!
So, when I turned 24 last year, I decided to make a list of goals: 24 things I would like to do before my 25th birthday.
Fly in an airplane for the FIRST TIME!
Get my learner's license I finally got around to doing this. Now just to get my driver's license for the next list!
Start yoga Started yoga in March and still going strong!
Sleep under the stars. Fail.
Take more photos of my daily life Sort of. Been doing this a lot more thanks to Instagram, but this I'll be taking it even further with PROJECT LIFE!
Buy myself a proper piece of jewelry Bought myself a really pretty ring after my MSc graduation and have been wearing it daily ever since!
Make some non-chemistry-related money. Made my first little bit of money through my blog. It wasn't much but it was exciting!
Go 24 hours media free. Ok, absolutely epic fail.
Go up onto the roof Ok, this doesn't sound like much but I am terrified of falling and ladders (weirdly, it's not a fear of heights per se). It's taken me over 20 years to join my brother or father up on the roof of my parents' house (and it's only a 1-story!).I crawled up and down, and had a small panic attack whilst I was up there, and refused to stand up, but I did it! (Why were we up on the roof? Taking photos of the awesome snow-capped mountain ranges, that's what).
Clear my wardrobe Got rid of several bags full of clothes that don't fit me any more. Donated to charity.
Go to a big music concert I've been to a bunch of small, local concerts but never to a huge, international band because crowds tend to freak me out. This year, I went to BON JOVI with some friends and it was totally AWESOME!!!
Cut my own hair When I had short hair, it required frequent trips to the hairdresser to keep it in shape. Now that my hair is just long layers, it's awesome to be able to save the money and just trim the ends/layers myself.
Go watch a live comedy show. I was lucky enough to go watch two of my favourite stand-up comedians ever this year, Michael McIntyre and Eddie Izzard!
Get business cards printed. Haven't had professional ones printed yet because I'm still tweaking my blog design, but I did have some temporary ones made for the meantime.
Host a themed dinner party. Not yet. One for the next year!
Start journaling again Oh, Typo Buffalo Journals, how I love you so!
Go to a blogger meet. Done! You can read my post about the #CPTBloggerMeet HERE.
Overall, I'm rather pleased with how much I achieved in this year! I'm looking forward to next year - keep your eyes peeled for my 25 before 26 list!
So awesome!! I'm almost finished writing up my 30 before 30 list - gonna publish that soon.
Loved this post! Good job… super-successful year for you!
Thanks Chereen :) It really was a rollercoaster year, luckily with lots of highs to balance out the lows!
What a fantastic idea!!!! Can I please still this idea for my goal book? Mine would be 29 things before I turn 30...eeeek!!!!
Whimsy Is Forever Turns Two!

Who are Anna Camp parents?
Tom Camp (father)
Anna Camp was blessed to have a great family. Her father Thomas Sewell Camp is a family man, who never gets tired to tell through Instagram, how lucky he is to be surrounded with three beautiful women – his wife Dee and their two daughters.
He wedded Dee Kornegay on June 9, 1973, and now he names this day "the happiest one in my life". He kept his love to his wife for many years, and obviously, he was a doting father for his daughters.
Tom used to work as a bank executive and financial adviser. He supported his daughter Anna in her idea to become an actress, and now he is so proud of her achievements.
Dee Camp-Kornegay (mother)
photo instagram / camp4t
Date of birth: November 28
Anna really loves her mother. Dee is a role model for her, and she is inspired by the happy family her parents managed to create for her. Dee spent the major part of her life, caring about her husband and daughters. She worked as a Democratic Party volunteer.
It was Dee, who helped Anna get her first role. The girl was really interested in acting, but she didn't believe, she had any chance in it.
When Dee heard about an audition to "Drug Abuse Resistance Education", she convinced Anna to go there. By the way, Mama Camp helped her daughter to find the appropriate clothes for the audition – torn jeans. And it worked – Anna made her first step on the way to the big screen acting.
Anna Camp siblings

The acting bug bit another girl in the Camp family, too. Anna's older sister Saluda also has some screen works she is proud of. Saluda appeared in the documentary series "American Experience".
Currently, she lives in Rock Hill, SC and works as a theater actress, director, and acting teacher. Saluda and Anna have perfect sister-sister relationships. They are very close and try to spend every free minute together.
Anna Camp entered this world in Columbia, SC. In 2004, she graduated from NC School of the Arts and after that she relocated to New York.
Anna Camp debuted in a romantic comedy "And Then Came Love", starring Vanessa Williams and Michael Boatman. The actress played a small role of Kikki.
In 2008 she performed on Broadway alongside a famous actor Daniel Radcliffe in a contradictory drama play "Equus". That very year she appeared in the pilot episode of "Reinventing the Wheelers", but this project was canceled that every year because of low ratings. The actress didn't fell in despair and won the role in the series "Cashmere Mafia". She featured in the pilot episode, too.
Camp got initial recognition as a regular actress of the horror series "True Blood". She skillfully depicted Sarah Newlin in the show, and it brought her the first awards and nominations, the most significant of which is Screen Actors Guild nom, which she shared with other actors.
Anna Camp film list looks really impressive, and one of her most successful screen works was in the comedy film "Pitch Perfect", where she demonstrated her talent for singing, too.
Now Anne is a busy actress, but she tells, she is ready to stop and give birth to her first baby with her beloved husband Skylar Astin.
She tells that she likes to cook with her husband when they have some free time to spend. Their favorite dish is grilled burgers with fresh vegetables.
Anna's wide smile is her trademark as for now, but in her teens, she was bullied for it and tried to smile with her mouth closed. But she won the best smile title in a high school, which helped her to overcome with her look while smiling.
She hates to eat cottage cheese and chickpeas.
"Streetcar Named Desire" is her favorite old film. She adores Vivian Leigh, who played the lead role in this movie.
Anna is a pet owner. She has a dog, named Rocky.

After a fortnight of being over busy with the preparations for the Sports Day, at last the day arrived.
The ground was meticulously done up, white chalk powder lines were installed for different events.
Victory stands were beautifully done up to make the victors feel proud of being there after the events.
present to take care of the children and to guide them accordingly.
requested one of them to say a few words and declare the Sports open.
Mr.Joryck one of the Chief Guest declared the Sports Day open and then the events start.
the winners listed were made to stand on the Victory Stand and they were cheered by one and all.
Every event drew cheers and applause from the spectators. The games and sports lasted for about three to four hours which was followed by the most interesting moment of the function – the moment of appreciating the winners by awarding them gifts and prizes, cups and shields.
This was the ultimate moment of pleasure for winners when, amidst loud clapping and shouting of cheers, they received their rewards for their good work – from the Chief Guests.
The thrill, the excitement, and then, the pleasure of winning are all moments worth seeing and enjoying.
We loved to witness our friends and others participating with their hearts and souls with a complete involvement in the games. Their victory boosts up each and everyone's morale.
The National Anthem was played to close the sports day.

Doing well so far guys!
Lol, we're an interesting bunch.
Hey, has anyone seen my baseball?
i like your matchups, but im voting on which card i'd pay to see more.
it doesnt mean our matchups are bad or that they wouldnt be a great card to see, but they def have been bottom tier compared to the others.
Rabi, Gspfan, Fleek, jjeans and I had a big advantage over you guys in that we had some experience in the game. Now that you guys are experienced in the game as well, the next game will be even better and more competitive than this one.
It's a possibility, that's for sure. I having a feeling I might end up nominating the fight for two different awards.
You'd probably have a better shot if you weren't putting 10-fights on your card.
You don't *have* to have 10...10 is just the max. 5 is the minimum.

ANDERSON, S.C. (BP) -- A partnership of four Southern Baptist schools -- Anderson University, California Baptist University, Oklahoma Baptist University and Union University -- has launched the Call to Ministry Network in an initiative to identify and encourage Baptist young people who have sensed a divine call to ministry service.
In addition to the four educational institutions, LifeWay Christian Resources and the North American Mission Board have agreed to partner with the Call to Ministry Network. A major resource provided by the network is the website www.calltoministry.com, which will feature articles, books, testimonies and other tools to help young people better understand and grow in their own sense of calling. The network also will livestream conference events on the call to ministry.
The Call to Ministry Network was formally launched in a presentation during the Southern Baptist Pastors' Conference in Dallas. Heath Thomas, dean of OBU's College of Theology and Ministry, recalled his own call to ministry along with that of his father and two brothers. Explaining the purpose of the Call to Ministry Network, Thomas said, "We believe it is imperative to elevate the call to ministry among our churches. Together, we will seek to increase the visibility of that sacred call to ministry within Southern Baptist life and to provide resources to help and to encourage those who have sensed such a call or are exploring a call."
Michael Duduit, dean of Anderson University's Clamp Divinity School, observed that, "Ministry is not an option or a personal choice. It is a divine calling. We are in vocational ministry because God has called us out and set us aside for His service. In recent years, however, the call to ministry is no longer so prominently promoted in our convention and in many of our churches. Yet for the health of our churches and our faith family as Southern Baptists, it is urgent that we again emphasize the importance of a call to ministry and to help the next generation as God calls them out to serve."
The first two events planned for the network include The Call conferences at OBU on Aug. 25 (https://skopos.org/thecall/) and at Anderson on Sept. 8 (http://callconference.org/). Additional information on network activities and resources is available at www.calltoministry.com.
MOBILE, Ala. (BP) -- The University of Mobile has created an Institute for Global Leadership to equip Christians throughout the nation and internationally with theological education, leadership skills and disciple-making training for reaching the world with the message of Jesus Christ.
The institute, one of several new initiatives expanding the university's international outreach, will be led by Rob Jackson, a leader in Alabama Baptist life and most recently pastor of Central Baptist Church in Decatur.
Jackson's arrival at UM July 1 also created opportunities for partnerships with several international missions organizations he already works closely with, including the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, the International Evangelism Association and the Evangelical Alliance.
In addition, the university will serve as headquarters for RAM, an international faith-based mission organization that has planted more than 400 churches, opened orphanages, organized medical missions and reached thousands of people throughout Eastern Europe. Most recently, RAM is expanding church planting efforts and theological education into Western Europe.
University of Mobile President Timothy L. Smith said, "The opportunity to welcome Dr. Rob Jackson to University of Mobile in continuing his family legacy that began two generations ago will allow the university to extend its partnership with Baptist churches throughout Alabama while providing ministry opportunities to the ends of the earth in reaching people for Christ."
Smith added that the partnership between the new Institute for Global Leadership and RAM "adds a distinctive to University of Mobile that we have been seeking to elevate the ministry opportunities for our students, service to our church community and international outreach in fulfilling the university's Great Commission calling."
While serving as executive director of the Institute for Global Leadership, Jackson also will be assistant to the president for church and denominational relations and will serve as a resource for Alabama Baptist churches and associations in the Southern Baptist Convention. He will teach as an associate professor in the School of Christian Studies while building a campus-wide program emphasizing life-to-life disciple-making.
In conjunction with UM's Office for Global Engagement, he will focus on expanding opportunities for students to gain practical experience in a variety of international ministry settings.
Jackson has family ties to UM that go back two generations. His grandfather, Ernest Jackson, served on the board of trustees of then-Mobile College, while the Pearl Jackson Endowed Scholarship honors his grandmother.
"I've always had an affection for University of Mobile because my grandfather loved it so much," Jackson said.
RAM was started 22 years ago by Jackson's late father, Bob Jackson, also a well-known Alabama Baptist pastor. Christian Chivu, who holds a Ph.D. in missiology from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, will serve as international coordinator for RAM, which is an acronym for Reaching Europe, Advancing the Kingdom, Making disciples. More information about RAM is online at ram-christian.org.
Jackson is vice chairman of the board of The Alabama Baptist and begins serving as chair in January. He was 2017 president of the Alabama Baptist Pastors' Conference and has served as evangelism associate with the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions and as an adjunct professor for New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary.
Jackson holds master of divinity and Ph.D. degrees from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and an undergraduate pharmacy degree from Samford University in Birmingham.
The University of Mobile is online at www.umobile.edu.

The surprising impact of Steampunk novels on The Heroine's Journey
A series by Mary Sheridan
PART 3 – DIVERSITY IN STEAMPUNK FICTION
"Dwell in possibilities."
Emily Dickenson
CALLING FOR DIVERSITY
Diversity does not precisely describe what is needed in today's literary market.
Humanity is naturally diverse by virtue of the unique characteristics that both divide us and bring us together. Among the most visible are gender, sexual orientation, faiths, culture, and geography. We are diversity. We own it. Lobbyists who ask for "more diversity" are essentially asking for something that we already have, and such subtle, ineffective use of language risks confusing the issues at hand and creating barriers to progress.
What we do need is representation for the distinctiveness that 7.2 billion individuals add to our civilization.
REPRESENTATION THROUGH FICTION
In the absence of hard data, simple observation tells us that the majority of novels and films from influential Western creators have white male lead characters. Although that is starting to change, the increased presence of heroines and people of multiple ethnicities still do not resemble the demographic truth. Wildly successful Bollywood movies (Slumdog Millionaire) and YA novels (The Hunger Games, Divergent) show the potential for success of multicultural and female-led entertainment across demographic borders. Still, millions of people do not see themselves represented in fiction.
When we break down continental ethnicity statistics from 2014, 60% of the planet's population are Pan-Asian. People of African ancestry are second with 15%, and European Caucasians are next, at 11%. That leaves only 14% of the world's population scattered throughout North and South America and Australia. A closer look reveals what, for some, startling trends are emerging. For example, recent reports indicate that Caucasians will soon be a minority ethnic group in the United States – perhaps the largest source of "white male" fiction in the world.
The 2014 world estimate of the gender divide is a ratio of 1.014 males to 1.0 female. While there are no empirical data regarding the gendering of characters in adult fiction, observation and anecdotal reporting indicates that the representation of female protagonists remains far below that virtual 50-50 split. While the number of female heroines as well as female authors are on the rise – particularly in YA and Steampunk fiction – representation of a great many other minority groups still wait for higher visibility, for inclusion.
Publishers and authors are being pressed to represent minority and marginalized people in leading roles. The persistence of these demands indicates that the needs of many, or even most, are not yet being met.
Indeed, that is the heart of the matter.
EMBRACING REPRESENTATION AND CHOOSING INCLUSION
Johnamarie Macias from The Wookiee Gunner, offered a thoughtful perspective on the state of representation of diversity. Her eloquent insights are not limited to genre fiction, but apply to literature as a whole:
"Imagine a modern world filled with unlimited potential and possibilities. It sounds similar to ours, but in our world, there are limits in place and possibilities that are curbed by those who seek to mold the world according to unequal and archaic standards. Diversity is a victim of such thoughts and actions. No matter where you look or turn, diversity is all around us, and simultaneously, nowhere to be found. Most creators and storytellers fall back on old ways, never looking outside the box and testing the waters for something new. Hence, our lack of books with diverse characters, films starring non-white actors, and representation in various other aspects of our society. Acknowledging diversity is essential to enrich and broaden our horizons. Without that, we fall into a loop of unoriginal and lackluster creativity, harming our own growth as a civilization and robbing ourselves of unique and untold experiences."
Change is a contemporary enigma. Modern civilization has developed a techno-culture of planned obsolescence in which people not only accept new changes in technology they live in breathless anticipation of the next generation of devices. While still-serviceable gadgets are replaced without hesitation, proposals that would bring evolution to personal beliefs, dated standards, or familiar ways of life are more often met with fear, frustration, and resistance. Although humanity has grown more aware of diversity, the issue of inclusion remains a largely unwanted nemesis that faces sometimes violent rejection. The cost of allowing such attitudes to persist, as Johnamarie Macias points out, can profoundly affect our future.
Imagine a world without diversity; a world in which every person is the same.A multitude of Science Fiction books and films explore this theme, often with the distinctiveness of each individual being intentionally suppressed or removed by force to create homogeny, usually through subjugation, tyranny, and cruelty. When heroes are revealed and rebels fight back, we cheer their triumphant defeat of conformity.
The popularity of this type of rebellion suggests that human beings, on some levels, naturally acknowledge and value their unique qualities, which serves to highlight humanity's duplicity: people commonly fear the loss of their distinctiveness and resist oppression, yet by commission or omission, they are also the oppressors. Humanity excludes others either because it wants to, or because it is resistant to change.
Increasing representation in fiction is one way to help replace cultures of exclusion and marginalization with societies where inclusion is common practice. Storytellers (authors, publishers) must expand their creative work, and readers need to support and create a market for more novels that represent diversity. Greater representation is a responsibility shared by everyone. Like any other issue that is repeated and reinforced, if inclusion is written often enough it can become normative.
Individuals quite naturally want to read stories in which they can envision themselves as the hero or heroine. Until that magnitude of saturation is reached, human beings will continue to author their own discontent.
STEAMPUNK FICTION: WELCOME TO NEW WORLDS
The award-winning website Beyond Victoriana was created by Ay-Leen the Peacemaker, aka the remarkable Diana Pho, who works tirelessly to promote and educate about multiculturalism in Steampunk. She makes powerful observations about the unique role Steampunk can play in helping to improve representation:
"Steampunk fiction, essentially, focuses on the alternate possibilities of science, history, and industrialization. But, often, people think about only Western, European histories and white historical figures as being valid subjects in speculative fiction. This idea reveals a lack of cultural imagination, enforced boosting certain stories as being the most "interesting": people of color and their histories and non-Western cultures are stereotypically seen as "timeless" and "unchanging" so they are not "as interesting" to speculate upon. There is also the assumption that only the West had industry and technology worth talking about. Or, even more worrying, it is because people simply don't *know* how all of these non-European histories or histories about marginalized people. Steampunk stories give people from marginalized backgrounds the opportunity to bring their stories to the spotlight.
Moreover, Steampunk stories rely on readers to become familiar with the histories they are playing off of. So when a story is about India colonizing England, for example, it is a story talking about the effects of colonization and imperialism and a critique of the Raj. When you see women as inventors and mechanics in stories, or even people wearing corsets *outside* of their clothes, it is a commentary about gender roles in society. When stories talk about industrial revolutions, and where those revolutions come from and who they affect — these stories about danger and adventure are also touch upon the ramifications of how technology changes our society, for good or ill.
Moreover, Steampunk as a genre, because it has a retrofuturist bent, can tackle these problems in history (and alternate history) in a way that comments upon our present social, political, and economic problems as well. History doesn't exist in a vacuum after all, and we are not only products of history, but are living examples of what our future histories can become."
Diana Pho makes a compelling case for Steampunk fiction's potential to be a leading genre in the representation of diversity. Yet among the opportunities, Steampunk also contains paradoxical aspects.
Steampunk fiction is a complex genre. The predominant view of Victorian England centers on a white populace with many advantages denied to minority and marginalized peoples. A good example of this privileged Caucasian dominance is the league of famous writers of Steampunk's foundation novels who are, almost exclusively, white males. Mary Shelley was a rare female Victorian author of importance. But in another literary corner was Mary Anne "Marian" Evans who wrote several classic novels using a masculine penname, something she felt necessary in order to gain acceptance and freedom among her writing peers. Marian Evans was "George Eliot", who wrote Silas Marner and The Mill on the Floss.
Perhaps the most difficult Steampunk paradox stems from its built-in retrofuturism. A necessary reach into the past often calls for authors and audiences to enter places where the ghosts of oppressed ancestors await. In the dark aftermath of countless forms of cruelty or oppression, the cries of mistreated yet often silent or hidden populace are still heard and felt. Those with the courage to visit that past may discover gut-wrenching pain that is difficult or impossible to overcome: valid personal struggles that many in the mainstream (e.g., white descendants of the British Empire) know little about, or may prefer to overlook.
Insight: Scars of Oppression
A fictionalized compilation of several true stories for illustrative purposes.
In a 2013 blog post, a thoughtful young New York college graduate wrote bluntly about her reticence to participate in Steampunk culture. She read dozens of novels, loved the costumes and was interested in design, and generally well-informed about the active alternative culture in her community. Yet she did not feel comfortable becoming a Steampunk.
Her barriers were very personal; her blog entry raw and painful to read. Through her grandmother's family records, she knew that her ancestors had been slaves, a few had been murdered before abolition, and one – a young child – had been kept locked in a cellar for several years. There were so many stories about abuse and death among members of her family that she was not able to consider growing closer to a culture that primarily represents the Caucasian Victorians who were her ancestors' oppressors.
Engaging with the Victorian era's hierarchical society was so filled by white skinned people and dominated by masculinity that it can be an intimidating barrier to inclusion.
In order to encourage Steampunk novels to further diversify from their predominantly white Western cultural history we must acknowledge and respect the irreversible "secrets" in history's closets and globally accept responsibility for representation. Through careful stewardship of history, Steampunk fiction can continue to provide a platform to showcase our diversity; to tell heroic tales of Malaysian space explorers and Eskimo time travelers. It is imperative that we not shrink back from this challenge but instead listen to the stories passed through generations of cultures around the world. Within Steampunk's broad, flexible framework there are a multitude of opportunities to use this expansive history to positively influence the future.
DIVERSITY IS OUT THERE:
HOW STEAMPUNK NOVELS CAN MOVE REPRESENTATION FORWARD
"Steampunk as a genre has expanded significantly over the past few years, and I do see more stories that are non-Western or focus on marginalized people. But I would like to see more stories that actively question the role of imperialism (and not only European imperialism).
I'd also like to see adventure stories highlight other figures other than the usual suspects (Abraham Lincoln, Thomas Edison, Nikola Tesla, Ada Lovelace, Charles Babbage). I want to see George Washington Carver herald as a leading innovator (as much as he was in actual history!). I want the Buffalo Soldiers or Sacagewea or the Chinese immigrants tackling the frontier. I want the Ghost Dance movement or the Boxer Rebellion succeeding. I want Ching Shih, the notorious female pirate of the 19th Century, lead a fleet of Chinese airships. I want to see Frederick Douglass as a time traveler. There are so many stories and heroes from history who hadn't had a chance to shine, and I'd love to see those stories get Steampunk'd too."
~ Diana M. Pho (Ay-leen the Peacemaker)
Representation of diversity is conceptually simple: accept, learn about, understand, and celebrate the unique qualities that all individuals bring to civilization. In practice, of course, achieving this on a global scale is more complicated. For centuries we have endured or even nurtured cultures of exclusion. The creation of inclusive societies is long overdue, and changing perspectives through fiction can play an important role in helping to move humanity away from ugly, exclusive comfort zones toward the inclusion of all people outside of mainstream populations. Any other path severely limits humanity's potential.
Representation and inclusion are two winding roads less traveled, but for Steampunk writers, there are ways to straighten the curves.
Among an unending supply of inspiring historical figures – famous and unknown; of every ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, faith, or distinctiveness – there are incalculable stories to be told. Bring those figures forward in time, write them into fantastic adventures, and each one could be read by someone, somewhere, who will smile and think, "That could be me.".
THE WOMEN OF STEAMPUNK
After a century of masculine domination of Science Fiction through to the development of subgenres like Steampunk, women are the rising star writers in this complex, fascinating alternative cultural phenomenon. How do they merge tightly-laced Victorian corsets and the freedom to alter history through their writing?
Among the women who write Steampunk are those who openly challenge Joseph Campbell's Hero's Journey with their own design for a parallel Heroine's Journey that Campbell himself thought unnecessary. Does this mean that a true Heroine's Journey myth is gaining momentum – and acceptance?
Mary Sheridan is a former ER and Trauma nurse with a life-long passion for real and imagined adventure – usually on horseback. Her right-brain enjoys fangirling over genre books and films; her left brain has finally given up trying to bring order to that chaos. Star Wars has been her favorite alternate reality since 1977 but she also enjoys Star Trek, The Hunger Games – most things creative and adventurous. Recently she has grown suspicious that a subliminal indoctrination process was initiated during her early years by a nefarious group of time-traveling operatives in Queen Victoria's most Secret Service. While researching this series, Mary felt a sudden compulsion to join her local Steampunk Society and spends large amounts of time seeking period costume pieces – evidence of a latent desire to identify herself as a Steampunk. She is being monitored for disorientation since declaring that once she finds the perfect pair of brass goggles, she hopes to go back to the retro-future in a steam-powered DeLorean.

A Turkish Businessman Extradited for Money Laundering
The United States government aggressively seeks to force international tax fraud, money laundering, and related charges. Even if a taxpayer resides outside of the United States, that does not mean they are outside of the reach of the US government. Rather, the US government can pursue extradition from the foreign country to require them to return to the United States to face the music. In one recent situation, a Turkish businessman who is alleged to have committed a large-scale global fraud — and was extradited (returned) to the United States to face charges involving money laundering, wire fraud — and other charges as well. Let's take a look at the recent Department of Justice release:
Turkish Businessman Extradited from Austria to Face Money Laundering and Wire Fraud Charges
A Turkish businessman was extradited from Austria to face money laundering, wire fraud and obstruction charges.
Sezgin Baran Korkmaz arrived today in Utah in the custody of the U.S. Marshals Service. Korkmaz was indicted in Salt Lake City, Utah, with laundering more than $133 million in illegal proceeds through bank accounts he controlled in Turkey and Luxembourg. According to an April 2021 superseding indictment, the proceeds relate to a scheme orchestrated in Plymouth, Utah, by Jacob Kingston, Isaiah Kingston and Levon Termendzhyan to defraud the U.S. Treasury by filing false claims for more than $1 billion in tax credits allegedly for the production and sale of biodiesel by their company, Washakie Renewable Energy LLC.
Korkmaz and his co-conspirators allegedly used the biofuel fraud proceeds to acquire luxury homes and assets, as well as businesses such as Biofarma, the Turkish airline Borajet, a yacht named the Queen Anne, a hotel in Turkey and a villa and apartment on the Bosporus river in Istanbul. In coordination with authorities in Lebanon, the U.S. Marshals Service took the Queen Anne yacht into custody in July 2021 and sold it earlier this year for $10.11 million pursuant to an October 2021 order of U.S. District Judge Jill Parrish of the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah, who is presiding over the Korkmaz case. Other assets of Korkmaz-related companies in Turkey and Europe are the subject of forfeiture claims by the United States and Turkey.
According to the superseding indictment, Korkmaz also devised a scheme to defraud Jacob Kingston and Isaiah Kingston in early 2018 by falsely representing he could provide them with protection, through unnamed government officials, from a federal grand jury investigation and civil lawsuits. In exchange, the Kingstons sent him $6 million over several months.
Additionally, Korkmaz allegedly made false statements to federal agents in an attempt to obstruct the pending criminal trial against Kingston and Termendzhyan. Among other misstatements, Korkmaz allegedly lied about $38 million in wire transfers sent to a bank account controlled by Termendzhyan.
"The successful apprehension and extradition of Baran Korkmaz demonstrates the department's commitment to working with our international partners to pursue, capture and return those who seek to defraud the American people," said Acting Deputy Assistant Attorney General Stuart M. Goldberg of the Justice Department's Tax Division. "Thanks to our law enforcement partners and their counterparts in Austria and Lebanon, we are now able to bring Korkmaz to trial on the pending charges, and have recovered significant forfeiture proceeds."
"We commend our partners from the Tax Division and the Department of Justice for pursuing Sezgin Baran Korkmaz on behalf of the American taxpayers and ensuring his return to Utah to face justice in U.S. District Court," said U.S. Attorney Trina A. Higgins for the District of Utah. "We are also thankful for the efforts of our foreign partners in Lebanon and Austria, and in particular, the Austrian Bundeskriminalamt Fugitive Active Search Team, for locating Korkmaz overseas."
In July 2019 Jacob and Isaiah Kingston both pleaded guilty to federal charges, and in 2020 both men testified at the trial of Levon Termendzhyan in Utah. The federal jury convicted Termendzhyan of all charges. The Kingstons and Termendzhyan all await sentencing.
If convicted, Korkmaz faces a maximum penalty of 20 years in prison for each count of money laundering conspiracy, wire fraud and obstruction of an official proceeding. A district court judge will determine any sentence after considering the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines and other statutory factors.

Wizards Snap Negative Run With Win Over Pistons
By Juan Pablo Aravena
The Washington Wizards defeated the Detroit Pistons, 106-100, at Capital One Arena on Monday afternoon. The Wizards (14-29) and the Pistons (16-28) kicked things off during the Martin Luther King Day's 14-game slate in the NBA with a game that remained tight throughout, and the matchup was decided in the dying minutes of the final quarter. Detroit jumped to a 35-30 lead in the first quarter, but the Wizards flipped the script with a 30-23 second-quarter score that gave them a two-point lead. The third quarter ended with a 23-23 tie, and the final 12 minutes of action saw both teams going back and forth looking to secure the win. The Wizards prevailed, however, and a 23-19 score allowed them to clinch a huge win on the road. Detroit disappeared offensively after the first half, and they paid a steep price for that. With the win, Washington moved to 9-11 at home while the Pistons fell to 8-15 on the road. Bradley Beal led the way for the Wizards since he ended with 29 points and six assists, and Ian Mahinmi complemented him well. The big man had one of his best performances of the season as he finished with 21 points, seven rebounds, three blocks and two assists. Thomas Bryant had a productive game off the bench since he chipped in with 13 points and six rebounds in 22 minutes. No other Washington played cracked the 10-point plateau. Derrick Rose led the Pistons as a starter, as he finished with 21 points despite shooting just 8-21 from the field. Andre Drummond filled the scoresheet once again, and he ended with 18 points, 16 rebounds, four steals, three assists and two blocks. Tony Snell had 16 points, and Sekou Doumbouya only added six points. Markieff Morris and Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk each added 10 points off the bench.
Toronto Raptors at Atlanta Hawks
Toronto at Atlanta
Raptors Cruise, Defeat Hawks With Second-Half Comeback
The Toronto Raptors defeated the Atlanta Hawks, 122-117, at State Farm Arena on Monday afternoon. On paper, it seemed as if the Raptors (29-14) were going to cruise their way against the lowly Hawks (10-34) but that couldn't have been further from the truth. Atlanta posted a tough challenge and, with a bit more luck and a few bounces going their way, they could have pulled quite an upset here. The Raptors jumped to an early 36-25 lead and it looked as if they were going to set the tone for the rest of the afternoon, but Atlanta came out of nowhere to turn things around and grab a three-point lead at the break. Toronto steered the game their way in the third quarter with a 26-22 score, and the Raptors sealed the deal with a 39-35 score during the final 12 minutes of action. With the win, Toronto moved to 14-7 on the road while Atlanta fell to 5-16 at home. Pascal Siakam led the way for Toronto since he finished with 18 points and six rebounds, although the team's leading scorer was Norman Powell who exploded for 27 points off the bench. Fred VanVleet had 20 points, four rebounds, three steals and two assists, including several clutch free throws down the stretch. Marc Gasol had 14 points and five rebounds. Kyle Lowry had 10 assists and seven dimes. Trae Young led the way for the Hawks since he had 42 points, 15 assists and six rebounds, including 18 fourth-quarter points. John Collins had 17 points and 11 rebounds before fouling out. DeAndre Hunter and Cam Reddish each had 13 points – Hunter added six rebounds and four assists, while Reddish added eight boards. Bruno Fernando contributed 12 points in only 16 minutes coming off the bench.

Philadelphia at Brooklyn
Sixers Rally, Secure Road Win Over Nets
The Philadelphia 76ers defeated the Brooklyn Nets, 117-111, at Barclays Center on Monday afternoon. The 76ers (29-16) extended their winning run to four games here, a solid production considering they have been without Joel Embiid for the last few games, as they had to come from behind to get past a resilient Nets (18-24) team. Brooklyn entered this game having lost 10 of their last 12 contests, but they grabbed an early 32-29 lead in the first quarter, and they extended it with a 36-35 score in the second quarter. However, Brooklyn would see their four-point lead evaporate after the half-time break. Philly cut the deficit to one point following a 26-23 score in the third quarter, and they would complete their comeback in the final 12 minutes of action where they registered a 27-20 advantage. Aside from extending their winning run, Philly moved to 9-14 on the road with the win, while the Nets continue to crumble and are now 11-11 at home. Ben Simmons carried Philadelphia offensively since he finished with 34 points, 12 rebounds, 12 assists and five steals while shooting 12-14 from the field and 10-14 from the charity stripe. Al Horford had 19 points and six boards, while both Tobias Harris and Josh Richardson chipped in with 15 points. Furkan Korkmaz contributed off the bench with 10 points, three assists and two boards in 24 minutes.

Changing the way we design & produce furniture. When I started working for stykka it was an industrial designer. Here I helped develop custom furniture for our clients. My main task now is to make the production of custom furniture even easier.
I started and ran a part-time design studio together with my friend Esben Lyhne. In the short span I was part of the studio we managed to get to bigger danish clients Damixa and Isabella. We also won a audience award in 2017 and was hired multiple times to teach design courses at the Scandinavian Design College.
I started freelancing during my school time. I designed a watch collection called Nova Stella for the danish startup Tycho Brahe.
In my time as a Junior Industrial designer at Eskild Hansen I got to work with multiple tech startups in the US. We also worked closely with the danish dental company 3Shape.
As a design intern in the small boat startup Rand Boats I was lucky enough to work on the early fases of a wide range of boats. From the small picnic 18 to the Yachseries. My work was mainly focus around the interiors of the boats in hand-drawn sketches and 3D visualizations.
In my bachelors I wanted to investigate how a wearable device would function as our primary device. I used a lot of my time on trying things with how the interaction should work and how there should be a logical connection between the physical form and the digital interface.
On our third year we had a course where we were completely free to do what we wanted. I chose to work with parametric design in Grasshopper. I designed different add-ons for Nerf Guns. But this course was not about the designs generated. I did it purely to get hands-on knowledge of parametric modelling.
In the fall 2012 I lived at The Scandinavian Design College. It was an intense dive into the design world.

Brewer Kirin files for arbitration to end deal with Myanmar military entity
KYODO NEWS - Dec 6, 2021 - 15:26 | World, All, Japan
Kirin Holdings Co. said Monday it has filed for commercial arbitration to terminate its joint venture partnership with Myanma Economic Holdings Public Co., calling for a "fair and just" process to end its deal in the beer business with the Myanmar military-linked entity.
A Kirin subsidiary in Singapore took the action with the Singapore International Arbitration Centre after the company failed to negotiate successfully on the handling of Myanmar Brewery Ltd., the biggest beer company in the Southeast Asian country and one of the two ventures Kirin runs with the Myanmar entity.
File photo taken in 2016 shows a plant of Myanmar Brewery Ltd. in Yangon. (Photo courtesy of Kirin Holdings Co.)(Kyodo)
The other project involves Mandalay Brewery Ltd., the fate of which is still being discussed between the two parties.
Kirin said in a statement that the Tokyo-based company made repeated efforts to negotiate with Myanma Economic to end the partnership, but that the Myanmar entity "has been uncooperative in the negotiations, effectively rejecting our proposals."
On top of this, Myanma Economic unilaterally filed a petition with a Yangon district court on Nov. 19 to liquidate Myanmar Brewery, a company owned 51 percent by Kirin and 49 percent by the Myanmar entity.
"Kirin Holdings conveyed that it would firmly protest this unjustified motion, made in disregard of the Joint Venture Agreement as well as in violation of Myanmar laws and regulations," the statement said.
Kirin acquired Myanmar Brewery in 2015.
Despite Kirin's action, however, it is unknown how the Myanmar partner will respond and whether it would comply with a decision issued by the Singapore arbitration center.
Kirin accused the Myanmar entity of providing "welfare fund management for the (Myanmar) military," known as the Tatmadaw, which seized power in a Feb. 1 coup that ousted civilian leader Aung San Suu Kyi and her party, the National League for Democracy.
